PRESByTERlANS WIN
FROM METH0DISTS

The game of baseball at Hanover
Park Tuesday between the Methodists
and Presbyterians of the S. S. league
resulted in score Of 3 to in favor
of Presbyterians. Both teams played
lively ball. In the first inning the Pres
byterians made two scores and 1t was
thought iy the spectators that they had
a waIkover, until the Methodists got
down to business. Marshall, for the
Methodists, pitched good game, and
kept the six hits made well scattered;
Berry, for the Presbyterians, pitched
we'll and only allowed two hits. They
came in the seventh inning and resulted
in score for the Methodists. Bauman,
A., was lined up with the Presbyterians,
which added strength to the team. He
made two hits one being two base hit
A fair sized crowd was out.

SUMMER HAIR DRESSING
Ask X. N. Goolrick For Partisan Sage,
IfYou Want The Best.

Almost everybody in fredericksburg
knows that there is no preparation for
the hair that can compare with Parisian
Sage. 80.
II cures dandruff, stops falling hair
and itching scalp in two weeks, or
money back.
1t puts radiance and lustre into that
dull lifeless hair that many women
possess, and does it in few days.
1t makes hair grow; prevents hair
from turning gray and is without doubt
the most refreshing and invigorating
hair tonic in the world.
1t is daintily perfumed and is not in
the least sticky or greasy.
In summer, people OF refinement use
it regularly, because it keeps the scalp
cool and free from odor or perspiration:
On March rs, 1910, Lulu d. Fix, OF
Raphine, Va, wrote: "Parisian Sage is
a wonderful hair restorer; it stopped my
hair from falling out and stopped my
scalp from itching; also cured the dan

Mr.. Lee J. Graves has had a small

got away again and has not been seen

IN MEMORY

In loving remembrance Of our dear
father, Alexander Skidmore, who de-
parted this life on May Sth, 1910. Of
paralysis. He was 63 years Of age,
but was apparently in good health IN
Ill the moment he was stricken. He
fingered three days and as We stood az
his bedside trusting for his recovery,
alasl the arclangel Of death came and
took him from US. He was not hlem-
Der Of any church, but was honest and
upright and we trust that God In his
tender love and mercy for mankind has
redeemed his soul. He toiled hard for
his family and loved. bis lona We
have missed him -
able TO express wi
it was God who hat
and we feel il our duty -,
holy will. At times wnt4 Sc y.
dispirited and our hearts are aching,
something seems to whisper and say:
Weep not that his tolls are over,
Weep not that his race is run;
God grant that we may rest as calmly
When our work like bis is done.
Till then we yield with gladDess
Our Father to Him TO Keep,
And rejoice in the sweet assurance
He giveth his loved ones eleep.

REFUSE SPECIAL RATE
TO HOBOKEN STUDENTS
Lspeeial 70 the Newark sad

TRENTON, Dec. 3O.-The Board of
Public Utility Commissioners in a mem
orandum filed today dismisses the petit
tion filed by the Board of Education of
Hoboken asking the commission to fix
a special rate between that city and
Montclair for the benefit of pupils who
are attending the state Normal School.
The petition was dismissed principally
because the commission was without
authority to grant it.
The Board of Education sought to
compel the Lackawanna to make a
special rate upon the ground h a the
number of pupils attending the school
justified such action. The board says
that to grant such relief would involve
the sanctioning of discrimination, un-
less the rate fixed was available to all
who purchased tickets in like manner
