Strange was opposed on the firing
line by Shaw, the Carolina varsity
pitcher. The fans will remember
Shaw won all three games he pitch

to be congratulated on the fine game
they played against a picked team.
Strange had a little the better of
Shaw. He struck out II men to
Shaw's 9.
st. Charles did not earn a single
run. Three errors and one or two
bases on balls gave them their three
runs. Wedgcfield's battery, Strange
and McLaurin. are as good as you Will
find on most any amateur team.
Shaw and Corbett for st. Charles

To speak of the continuous rains
since Monday of last week would, no
| doubt be supcrfuOus, as it is no local

| then, that for not a day in the past
ten have we been spared. Wheat is
practically ruined, oats materially in
jured. Crops are becoming "wooly,"
and many colds reported Crops, espe-
cially corn, are good now; it only re-

goes to show that 1t is hard to improve
some Of our grandmothers old, time-tried
remedies. For instance, for keeping the
hair dark, soft and glossy, nothing equal
ing our grandmothers' sage tea" has ever
been discovered. Although, by the addi-
tion of sulphur and other ingredients, this
old-fashioned brew has been made more
effective as a scalp tonic and color re-

night. He showed no emotion and
actually smiled as the doors of the
prison closed on him, so far as he
knew, forever. Efforts to converse
with him regarding the verdict today
failed. He would not even mention
it, but talked freely on other sub
jects.
Mitsunagas countrymen, who have
attended the trial, were told when
court adjourned last evening that the
verdict would not be announced until
today. This action was deemed ad-
visable, as 1t was feared some sort OF
demonstration would follow a verdict
unfavorable to Mitsunaga. 1t was Sc
cretly arranged to have the jury re-
port to the court, and very few, ex-
cept those directly concerned, knew
that a verdict had been reached until
after the jurors had been discharged.

Seattle. Wash. Dec. 9.-If the
bill of Councilman v. H. Hart be-

all transients must be registered

Councilman Hart says the ordi-

The clause in regard to apart
