IIia game was not brilliant, but was
steady and ne missed few spares ln
the last game his card Was clean
one and with several doubles he push
ed the score 10 sos, giving him high
game and high average, his average
being 10 below the 100 mark.
Capt" Browne was a close run
ming mate with 169 and only for a
had slump IN the first game might
have had much higher average. with
11g no in the fifth he slurnped to 1s5
at the finish, missing four straight
frames.
The Grand Leaders came in for a
large percent of the splits Of the even
ing and in tae last game seven were
marked on their sheet After losing
the first two games By about fifty pins
each they seemed to lose confidence
and the third was easy for ST. Peters
Oyer-anxiety on the part Of Capt VOL

Congress. at the request of the news

of that reduction in the tariff it has

that the tariff was not to blame for
higher price. We have had the high

The late Gen. William Malone. we'll
known as a Confederate officer, and
later as a United States Senator from
Virginia, was both remarkably short
of stature and remarkably slight-a
fact which gives point to a story re-
lated by Gen. Adelbert r. Burlington.
formerly Chief of Ordnance of the
army, and now on the retired list.
which Is printed in the Troy Press.
General Burlington was relating the
occurrence to some old comrades with
whom he was dining.
General Mahone,"' he said. was
very thin. One cold and windy De-
cember morning in GA he was taking
a nap in his tent when his old colored
servant, Uncle Davy,' tiptoed in. and.
stumbling in the darkness, knocked
down the generals folding cot and
spilled him out on the frozen ground.
General Malone jumped up furiously.
seized a scabbard and made for Dayy.
"Davy ran. The general gave chase.
Uncle Davy tore up hill and down
dale till he was pretty well out of
breath; then he looked back over his
shoulder at his master, who bounded
after him on slender legs, blue and
thin, his long, white nightshirt fiutter-
ing in the chill morning
"Fo' de lan's sake, Mars William.
the exhausted Davy yelled, desperate
ly, 'yo' hain't trustin' yo'se'f in dis
wind on dem legs, Is yo?'"
