colors in a we'll played and hotly con-
tested game. As this league is putting
up the closest race of any in the city,
a large crowd was on hand. made up
partly of fans from other circuits.
Willard scored one each in the first,
and sixth; up to the last half of the
Of the Hotelites. and victory appeared
to be theirs, as the Walford team
could not touch Powell in the pinches.
In Walford's half Of the eighth Col
nngsworth ard Marceron each drew a
pass and Stewart got a life on an
error, filling the bases. The credit for
the victory goes to Litz, Walford's big
first baseman. for with two strikes, he
pasted one Of Powell's shoots to left
center for two bases, scoring all the
runners. He stole third and counted on
Phillips wild throw Of a bunt.
Brewer was back in the game for
walford and celebrated by leading at
bat with two hits, both of them doubles,
out of four tries. big Six" started
behind the bat, but was spiked in
the head in the fourth inning and
changed places with Munich In center.
The latter caught Shalin in fine style
for the remainder of the game, besides
recording one of his teams five hits.
The game was well sprinkled with
good plays and catches, the fielding by
Maddox, Of Willard, being especially
noticeable, he preventing several runs
by good catches. Stewart and Litz
ca rried of the fielding honors for Wal
ford.
Up to the third inning not a man
reached first base off Powell, and 1t
was not until the sixth that q Walford-
lite reached third.

fast double play in the first that pre-
vented Willard from scoring more than
once. Tilly was mixed up in another in
the sixth inning when Collingsworth

today. 1t will mean the pennant without

What the Fifth Company Did on Ten
Inch Gun.

Rain for the. most of Friday pre-
vented the most important work that
the connecticut Coast artillery corps
mas undSrtaken-the firing of full ser
wee charges on the big guns at the
fort. Late in the afternoon the pros
poets were that the weather would
clear sufficiently to enable the com
panies which have not had full ser
vice firing to finish their strings and
not mar the success of the camp.
BY far the best shooting of the en-
campment has been done by Fourth
GO. of Bridgeport. Captain Bennett,
and Eleventh Co. Of Bridgeport CAP.
have been assigned to Battery Clin-
ton, which contains the Pinch NOR
tars. Each of the companies at the
mortars scored two hits in four shots
and were credited with 80 per cent
craftsmanship.
The only record shots to be scored
on the 10-inch disappearing guns were
those of Fifth Co. of Norwich. Captain
Tarhox. In three shots at the target,
5000 yards distant this company
placed one shot within 100 yards of
the object at which it was aimed The
two other shots struck beyond the limit
allowed for hits.

ors at the camp on Thursday. They

IF it is not strong enough to
make a hydrometer test LOB, add a
little more of the strong liquid to it.
If it is stronger than this, you can
add little more water, if you wish.
Also, if the sulfur is not dissolved in
the sediment, you can add more lime
and boil it again, either before or
after drawing off the liquid the
second time. You will thus be able
to use up the sulfur that was pre-
viously uncombined, and you will
have no waste in throwing away any
excess of lime that there may be.
You can put it on the ground around
your trees if you wish.
you can also use the sediment as
a tree borer paint, applied to the
trunks of your trees with a brush. 1t
is especially valuable to prevent bor-
ers in peach trees, if applied about

Trower Made His Money as u Caterer
i'm Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia Record has the
following: John S. Trower, aged 6l
years, the well known caterer, said
to be the wealthiest negro in Penn
sylvania and perhaps in the country,
who was reputed to be worth ST.
100000 and more, died recently at
his home, 5706 Germantown avenue,
of pneumonia. He is survived by
his widow and six children, one of
whom is the wife of DR.. r. X.

Trower for a great number of
years was interested in every move
ment in the uplifting of the people of
his race, and gave literally of his
means in the building of churches,
Sunday schools, industrial home and
beneficial organizations. He was
born in Eastville, Northampton coun-
ty, Va, October 3, 1S49. AS young
man he learned the catering business
in Maryland and 40 years ago en-
| barked in the same enterprise for
| himself. He was phenomenally sue
cessful, and has done the catering
not only for the fashionable society
of Germantown and Chestnut Hill,
but also in this and adjoining States
He was, according to Rev. w. A.
Credit, pastor of the Cherry Street
Baptist church, the most prominent
/ colored layman in America. He at
| tended all the national church con-
ventions and became powerful
public speaker. He was chairman of
the trustees of the Cherry Street
church; 6 years superintendent of
it's Sunday school and at the last
meeting was elected superintendent
for life.
He personally guaranteed all the
mortgages and loans of the church,
amounting to $75,000 until a few
years ago, when the church became
financially strong, and he was reliev-
ed of this responsibility He also
financed the building of Zion African
Baptist church, on West Rittenhouse
street, Germantown, and the Colored
Baptist church, at Ocean City.
He was president of the State Bap-
tist Sunday School Association for
| | 5 years and was much respected by
the white Baptist ministers. He was
a self-made man, receiving but little
education in his youth, and in order
to help the young founded the

Probably but small percentage of
the fishermen who use flies strung
with fine translucent "catgut' are
aware that the almost unbreakable
substance that holds the hooks against
the fiercest struggles of the struck fish
comes from silkworms.
The principal center of the manu-
facture of this kind of catgut is the
island of Procida, in the bay of Ma
pies, but most of the silkworms EN-
ployed are raised near Tore Annun-
ziata, at the foot of Vesuvius. The
caterpillars are killed just as they are
about to begin the spinning of cocoons,
the silk glands are removed and sub
iected to a process of picking, which
is a secret of the trade, and afterward
the threads are carefully drawn out
by skilled workers, mostly women
The length of the thread varies from
a foot to nearly twenty inches.-Sci-
entific American.
