Game today-Pen.ion Bureau and Columbia,
101.
The Diamond Athletic Club and the
Government Printing Office crossed bats
yesterday at 1st and w streets north
west, the Printing ONCE nine losing by
the score of II to Q.
Cooksey, who started in to tWir for
the Government Printing Office, was bat
ted out of the box, and gave way to
Carln, who did no better, total Of
sixteen hits being made off both pitchers.
Piozet, who was on the firing line for
the winners, pitched a great game, only
allowing two hits, which were OF the
scratchy kind. He only passed two
men and struck out twelve of them.
Cats catching for the winners was
the feature of the game, he having thir-
teen putouts and one assist to his credit
without any slipups. He also had good
day with the stick. Out of three times
at the pan he connected for two safe
hits.
The first four men up for the winners
made eight Of the hits.
Every player who faced the pitcher for
the Diamond Athletic Club secured hit,
most Of them getting two or more.
Grub played the best game for the
Government Printing Office, both in the
field and at the bat. He gathered up
everything that came his way. and also
made one of the two hits.

After nearly a week s rest the Navy and

ceptionally good ball, each allowing but
five hits The latter had a little better

Watson. at short for the Navy team,
continues to play a fast game. Yester-
day he was the only man on either team
who connected for more than one base,
making a double. His fielding was also
of the. classy order.
Beckett. who is covering one of the
gardens for the Commissioners, is prov
ing a good man with the stick. In nearly
every game he pulls out with n couple of
bingles, and yesterday was the only man
on either team who could boast of two
singles.
An Improvement is noticeable in the
fielding OF the Navy team. The boys seem
to have rounded into form and are put
ting up a very fast game. With good
pitching the team should pull up in the

"a RoeuE's HONOR"

"A Rogue's Honor" which will be
presented at the Illinois theatre to-
morrow. matinee and night, by NJ. Paul
Cazeneuve and his company, in the
words of the press agent, has plenty
of action, a thrilling interest, and
subtle touches of humor. 1t deals with
the unusual story of two men with
the same father; one legitimate and
gentleman, the other born without the
pale of marriage and a rogue. They
so closely resemble each other as TO
change the course of their lives. A
scenic investure has been given the
play which is the most perfect ever
attempted outside of the city or Ne"
York and requires 6O-foot baggage
car for its transportation. The cos
tunes are absolutely correct from a
historical standpoint and were made
by Van Horn and Herman of New
York city"

1.-THE PROVIDER.D

The engagement of Mildred Hol-

Barry's new play. 'The Provider," at

inee and evening will mark her first
appearance in this city as an Amer
lean woman of the present day, and
her entire company will appear IN
modern, familiar roles instead of the
gllttering costumes of past ages.
The Buffalo Courier in It's review
of the performance said: Mildred
Holland appeared for the first time
in her new play, The Provider," at
the Lyric theatre last evening and
in the role of Margaret Davis scored
a complete success. Matthew Barry
the author of the four-act melo-
drama, has provided Miss Holland
with a strong and interesting play

bezzlement. In true melodramatic
style Prescott is arrested in the
dance room of the Thompson hone.
Margaret weds Thompson to save her
lover from disgrace and so leads a
life of luxurious misery. Prescott
is betrayed, Margaret learns of
Thompson's despicable conduct and
after a scene of extraordinary dra-
matte force, leaves the bankers home
forever. Miss Holland is charming
and captivating in the opening ro-
nance and is at her best in the
strong emotional scenes quickly fol-
lowing. In the trying scene where
she makes the compact with Thomp-
son consenting TO we'd him in order
to save the man she loves, she was
brilliantly effective. In the scene
where she discovers the perfdy OF
her husband she gives the most pow
erful impression of her qualities as
an emotional actress, her denuncia-
ton of Thompson being a whirlwind
Of fierce invective and feminine
scorn and hatred. She reused her
audience to the full pitch of enthus-
iasm and several earnest recalls
were her reward. The play contains
another and prettier love story and
there is likewise little vein of com
edy interviewer with pleasant re-

Juggling stunt in a cafe scene. The
act concludes with a deluge of all

finish. Norris Golden, 1.-The Yiddle

the violin, but he does more TO
amuse his audience. He introduces
some real comedy. not in the form
Of talk so much as actions to suit
the strain in which he plays Right
off the Orpheum circuit are Austin
brothers, as clever a pair of bur
lesque comedians as You will find

their burlesque of familiar stake
types which makes the hit for them.

sleep without that stopped-up feeling that
all catarrh sufferers have. IL heals the
diseased mucous membranes and arrests
the foul discharge, so that you VIII not
