the result of the match:
WATERvILLE
OLD PINE
St. JOhusbury 2, Barton Landing /.


St. Johnsbury made it three straight
against Barton Landing here last
Wednesday. In red hot game they
chased the Orleans county boys to the
woods and won out in a hair raising
finish by the score of to l. Barton
Land ng was considerably strengthened
in anticipation of the Barton series, but
even with the new faces in the lineup
they appeared at a disadvantage when
opposed to Bill Higgins fine aggrega-
ton.
1t was undoubtedly one of the fastest
and most exciting contests ever witness
ed here The fun began in the first
inning with an episode on first base, in
which Ferguson and Shina figured, and
from then on there was excitement
enough to make most of those who had
driven miles to see greatest show on
earth forget there was ever a circus in
town. There was base ball history
being made and they were right on hand
at the making and consequently such
things as the death-deiying cyclist leap
ing over herd of elephants, and other
tunts which would ordinarily appeal to
the lovers of excitement, were relegated
to the background.
Laird the old reliable, was again on
the slab for the locals and behind him
was team that would hardly be recog
nized as the same bunch, which earlier in
the season, were taking the hook from
whoever came along. The way they
supported Hyde" in this game was a
marvel and worthy of the big leagues.
Opposed to Laird in the pitchers race
was Hunt, whose benders have been
puzzling some of the very best stickers in
the business since his advent into the
Barton Landing team. In the final
summing up, however, we find that St.
Johnsbury got TO him for ten safe ones,
while the visitors were credited with
two.
Neither side scored in the first six
innings, although a couple of raw
decisions were all that prevented a St.
Johnsbury man from crossing the plate.
The locals tailed one in the seventh
and would probably have been satisfied
with that, had not Barton Landing
emulated their example in the eighth
tying the score.
When the last session opened St. Johns
bury went at them hammer and tongs
and in the gamest finish in the memory
of the oldest inhabitant put the game on
ice with the only earned run of the day

hour Friday night. Manager Higgins.
n this dilemma did the only thing open
to him, when he took on the Lunenburg
team of the Essex County Outlaw
League for the date. So far as base ball
is concerned it was probably one OF the
biggest farces ever pulled off in town.
The locals ran away from their oppo-
nents at every stage of the game. They
swatted the ball whenever a swat was
needed and they ran bases at will. st.
Johnsbury won II to and the result
fairly reflects the strength OF the two
teams. The mysterious Mr.. Johnson
furnished about the only entertainment
of the day. His umpiring stunt was
funny, it was uproarously funny. 1t had
the best thing Mark Twain ever did
backed up in The corner hollering for the
smelling salts, and more than made up
for the lack of base ball. 1t is earnestly
hoped that Bill Higgins may keep in
touch with him. as he would certainly
come in handy if only to amuse the
fans

Manager Higgins has another strenu-
Gus weeks work laid out for his team.
They play Barton at that place this
afternoon. Tomorrow forenoon they
are billed as one of the star attractions
at the Stanstead races, when they do
battle with the Frontiers. Tomorrow
afternoon it is Barton here and on
Saturday afternoon the Newport team
comes here to try to make up for that
two to one defeat Both home games
are bound to be good ones. One can
hardly blame St. Johnsbury people for
feeling little chesty or spouting little
about the remarkable showing of our
purely local team, but it seems to us that
the best way to show our appreciation
of the good work that is being done by
the boys is by attending the games, and
helping things along in more material
way. Remember the former Barton and
Newport games but forgot the Lunen-
burg fiasco and be on hand Thursday
and Saturday. You are sure of your
moneys worth. The batteries tomor-
row will probably be Bishop and Bar
rows VS.. Laird and Higgins.

some good PLAYING every day, both by
our local players and those from out of
town Mr.. Pike had been picked for
high place in the tournament early in the

An Incident of the Gambling Halls
at Monte Carlo.
Much excitement was caused a num-
Der of years ago at the public gambling
establishment at Monte Carlo by an
elderly man who was said to be an
American named Captain Clyde. Hav-
ing lost $4,000 at the tables, he ques-
toned the fairness of the play and
abused the croupiers, whereupon or
ders were given to debar him from
playing again. When he returned on
the following day the doorkeeper at
tempted to prevent his entrance, but he
drew a revolver, walked in and took
his seat at one of the tables and began
to play. One Of the inspectors who at
tempted to eject him was knocked
down, and when a ring of the attend
ants was formed around the captain
with the object of hustling him out he
retreated in corner drew his revolver
once more and after denouncing the
managers as thieves and swindlers de-
clared that he would not leave the
place until the $1,000 he had lost on
the previous day was restored. After
some hesitation the managers, seeing
that he was determined and finding
their employees unwilling to expose
themselves to the fire of his revolver,
complied with the demand.

Hill Men of Tibet.
There are these famous weight car
riers, known to all Travellers the Swiss
mountain women, who walk up the
steepest slopes with pack baskets of
manure on their backs, and the porters
of Constantinople, one of whom will
hike small piano on the curious sad
die he wears. Perceval Landon, Lon
don Times correspondent in Tibet,
speaks of hill country carrying that Is
most extraordinary.
On the Indian plains porters carry
eighty to a hundred pounds, but hill
men when working by the job take
three times as much up frightfully bad
paths Il have myself seen a man
carry into camp three telegraph poles
on his back" writes Mr.. Landon, leach
weighing a tri1e under ninety pounds.
Farther east the tea porters of Sc
chuan are notorious, and loads of $50
pounds are not unknown. Setting
aside the story of a Bhutla lady who
carried piano on her head up from
the plains to Darjeeling as too we'll
known to be likely to be exact, the rec
ord seems to be held by a certain Chi
nese cody who undertook in his own
time to transport a certain casting,
needed for heavy machinery, inland to
its owner. The casting weighed $40
pounds, and the carriage was slowly
but successfully accomplished.

RURAL WATER SUPPLY.
It's Sanitary Condition Not What 1t
Ought to he.

It's Sanitary Condition Not What 1t
Ought to He.
When such great sums Of money are
being expended by city governments
that the inhabitants of towns may have
a sanitary water supply it seems
strange that the supply in rural towns
should receive little or no attention.
This latter population may seem rela-
lively insignificant but it comprises
about 40, OO0, 900 souls. This means that
those 10000, 900 people are drinking the
water most available without thought
of it's sanitary condition.
These various sources of supply.
whether wells, springs or small
streams, are similarly unreliable for
furnishing drinking water. The Stats
tics of mortality in the country are
very indefinite, but even these show
that the rural population is not as free
from illness as it should be. And
though everywhere the rural death rate
Is lower than the urban death rate, yet
the lowering in the country has not
been as great as in the city. An exam
ination Of typhoid statistics shows that
the death rate Of other diseases is gen
orally lower in the country than in the
city, but the prevalence of typhoid is
almost equal to If not greater in the
rural districts than in the cities.
Several instances have been reported
which show the rural typhoid rate to
be ten times greater than the urban
rate for the same district. To particu.
larize, certain district in central
Pennsylvania proves this fact. 1t is
made up Of a rural population with 10C
inhabitants to the square mile. 1t is q
region of fine farms, wild mountains
and woods, country residences and pic
mic groves. And in this valley there
has been as much typhoid fever as in
the city of Philadelphia.
| Sad as this condition is, there seems
| to be no remedy for it. The sources OF
| city water supply are few and the
| city government easily controls the
! conditions affecting it. But what car
be done when the sources of supply
| are numbered by the thousands? A
mint of money and an army of chem
lists would not be sufficient to give tbs
same care to the country supply that il
| given to that of the city.-New Yorl
