THE KING OF GAMES.
From The Boston Traveller.

A man who could see anything immoral in the watching of we'll
 played game of baseball must be hard put to it in the doctrine of total
 depravity. On the other hand, there is in the very sight of two magnifi- cent human machines of nine com ponent parts working in that beauti- full precision and adjustment that major league baseball generally ex- hibits, an encouragement to alert ness of mind that is worth as much as training in mathematics. You don't find the sluggish fools at base bail games. You do find in large numbers men of affairs, men of pro- fession, men of mark in various ways. The objector who asserts that the majority of baseball spec tators are loafers simply doesn't know anything about the makeup of a gathering at the big league grounds. Men may be loafing there for the time being, but in their usual places in the doing of things they give no odds to anyone. The fact is that the game of baseball is a mighty power in the land, a part of our civilization so intimate that to des- troy it to-day would seriously dis arrange affairs. No other sport in the world can bear. the slightest con- parison to it in the numbers of citi-

MEMS FEDERATION HAVE ON
 THEIR BATTING CLOTHES.
Whip the Bethel Team, 20 to 6.

The Mems Federation baseball team covered themselves with glory, on last Saturday, when the strong Bethel went down before them to the tune of 20 to 6. It was just an ideal day, neither too warm or too cold, and the spectators did not mind if the Bethel team was an hour late, solong as they did not take every thing in sight and wish for more. The Bethel catcher, Robinson, (and he is good catcher), was provoked because the Federation players did not slide into the traps he was con- tinually laying for them. The Bethel pitchers, Bailey and Underhill, were more provoked, because the locals got onto them for so many runs;. but the first baseman, Ambler, was the most provoked, because we did not hear those pleasant little things that al- ways come bubbling from his lips when he has been here aforetime. He was silent before the game was half through. Then the errors of the Bethel team were many and costly, while our team had not many errors charged up against them. Brinton and Smith were the battery for the home team and to the brilliant work of Brinton in the box and with the stick may be attributed the victory. The other men were not far behind, for the sluggers were on top and batted both pitchers at will. Bethel was the first at the bat and scored goose eggs. For the Federation G. Carlson and Steele got on the bases Glover and J. Carlson were retired at first, but Bradley hit safely SCOT ing Carlson and Steele. Smith went out at first. This put the locals in good spirits and the rest of the time it was nothing but runs; two in the second, four in the third, one in the fourth, five in the sixth, six in the seventh. Bethel got one in the sec ond, two in the third, one in the fifth and two in the seventh. It was great game and no mistake. The score:

CAT CATCHES A WEASEL
Lands It on The Bed of Her Mistress.

c. N. Harang went to Bridgeport, last week, to shine up some of his property and while gone there was same excitement at home. They have q pet cat called Teddy" and he is a great hunter. lie came in the morning before his mistress had left the apartment of pleasure in her slumbers, and eeellng SD proud of all the game he catches he shows 1t to her. He climbed the back roof and went into her room and on the bed with his game. It was some- think new to his mistress and he went off the bed in hurry. As he struck the floor he lost his hold and then the fight began. The game showed such a fight.that the cat was in trouble to get the hold he wanted but he struck at it so much with his paws that the weasel ran into one of MT Harang's shoes. The mistress caught it up and threw it out of the window and soon hurried out to see what kind of game it was, which was still in the shoe when she got out of doors to where the shoe struck. One of the neighbors was called and was told to kill whatever it was. She had put the shoe on the veranda with glass bottle in it as far as it would go and tied. The neighbor stepped on the shoe until everything was quiet and then united the shoe and found a large weasel. About one inch of the tip of it's tail was black. The cat would not touch it after it was dead. She gets extra praise as she saved a good many cnicKens by that adventure.

BULLOCK FOR U. S. SENATE

Nashville, May lot is stated on
what appears TO be good authority that
Judge L. l.. Bullock, the manager of
the prohibition campaign in the lately
deceased Tennessee legislature, will be
a candidate for United States senator
two years hence to succeed present sem
ator, James b. Frazier.
Ii is alleged that Tom Carroll, who
was Senator Frazier's private secretary,
will be the campaign manager for
Judge Bullock.
Ii will be remembered by visitors to
the governors office at the time Frazier
occupied that position, that Carol was
then his private secretary, and after
ward when Senator Frazier went to
Washington, he went with him in the
same capacity. 1t is alleged that at
Washington the senator and his secFe-
tary had falling out and severance
of relations followed, hence Carroll's
present attitude toward his form er pat
