CHALK UP ONE MORE BEAT,
N-77ssSValhalla z, Seneca 1O--Another
Game Next Saturday.

The Seneca ball team came to WAL
halla last Friday afternoon, and
again the home team lost to them,
this time the score being 10 to z.
From start to finish the game was
exciting, and until the ninth inning
Seneca was not sure Of victory.
Neither side scored in the first,
although Walhalla had two on bases;
but the needed hit to bring them in
was not forthcoming. The second
inning resulted in goose eggs for
both sides. In the third, however,
Seneca found It's batting eye, and be-
fore the inning was over three men

Daly's homer.
In the last half OF the same inning

hns. There was nothing doing in
The line Of runs in the fourth,
Straub's clever double play spelling
Sencca's chances. With some more
hits, mixed In with some of the home
players misplays, the visitors got
two more runs In the fifth. The
''mcky seventh" turned out good for
Walhalla, the team scoring four runs,
but Seneca also scored two, leaving
the score 7 to 6 in Seneca's favor
The eighth was disastrous. The
Seneca boys found Aliens delivery
for three runs, and the best Wal
halla could do in their half was one
Neither side scored in the ninth.
A record-breaking crowd attended
the game and surrounded the field

A large crowd of Seneca's fair sex
came over and helped their team on
to victory.

three years ago,-has really accomplished
nothing during the last year. Her gain

its navy actually has dropped back. and
she has lost in the tonnage under con-
struction. But in contrast to her year
Of inactivity. Japan has awakened again.
and now efforts are being made to OBJ.
tain one or two battleships Of "a 900 tons,
mounting fourteen five-inch guns. and
to have other batt1eshfps and cruisers
: which were authorized last year enlarged
by several thousand tons.
France remains in fourth place. but
she has lost more by standing still than
Japan, which holds fifth position. Russia
~ much in building as France has
adoat. Italy. ranking seventh, and Aus
tria. coming last, have gained but little.
While Germany gained nearly 20 per
cent in total tonnage. and Great Britain
slightly more than II per cent. the Unit
ed States has gained little more than s
per cent While the United States has
put nearly 10000 tons in service during
the last year, It has actually gained only
900 tons. tina difference being made by

MARK TWAIN.

We know you well. dear Yorick of the West:
The very soul Of large and friendly Jest
In this new world where all the folks are kings
OF shame that haunt the democratic court
For even where the sovereign people rule
Your native drawl lent flavor to your Wit.
Your arrows fingered, but they always hit.
Homeric mirth around this circle ran,
We knew you kind in trouble. brave In pain.
We saw your honor kept without stain.
True wisdom comes with laughter and with tears.
HENRY VAN DYKE.
NEW YORK, December 1.-Authors,
statesmen, minister and a poet told
new stories about Mark Twain; old sto-
ries were recounted and received with an
acclaim which proves that Twain story
never grows old: after the manner which
his dearest friends said he would have
ordered, Mark Twain's memory was re-
vered last night by an assemblage of men
and women most distinguished in arts,
literature. the sciences and the profess
sions in this country.
There wasn't q note of sadness struck
during the evening. Speeches rich In Gu
1ogy were made, but they were of the
kind that brought smiles instead Of tears.
Two former neighborss of the famous hu-
morist told the audience which filed audi
torium, boxes and galleries In Carnegie
Hall that Mark Twain was quite ready
to die; that he had passed on willingly.
almost eagerly. after having made all the
world laugh. So the. purposei Of the cere
monies was to further ,.perpetuate the
reign OF nght-heartedness which had
been Mark Twain's mission in life.
Eulogistic Of Dead Humorist.
Rev. Dr. Henry Van Dyke read an
original poem eulogistic Of the dead hui
morist.
Champ Clark, the Misourian who may
be "Uncle joe. Cannon's successor,
praised him as the greatest lobbyist who
ever won over the House..
''Uncle joe told how Mark Twain dis
rupted Uncle SAINTS representatives with
broadsides Of good ,humor, which sent the

Joseph II. Choate, former ambassador
to the. court OF st, James, revealed him
self in the merriest Of moods as he told
Of Mark Twafnis activities tickling John
Bulls ribs.
