CONGRESSMAN
HAMLIN PLEASES
A Good Crowd Out to Hear a
Sensible Talk.

Congressman Courtney w.
Hamlin was the attraction at the
court house Friday evening,
and enough people were inter-
ested in the political situation of
the campaign to comfortably fill
the upper court room. Mr.. Ham
lin made no effort at oratory,
but confined himself to a clear
and consise review of his stew
ardship and that of his party
during the past session of con-
gress, when the Democratic par
ty had its first working major
ity in a score of years. Mr..
Hamlin has the record to show
that the Democratic party has
fulfilled every promise made in
its platform, and that if further
entrusted with power, we may
expect a relief from the iniqui-
tious tariff tax, and other abuses
that have grown up under Re
publican rule.

They stood beneath the marriage
bell,
It's music having ceas'd,
And in their bosoms beat two hearts
Both satisfi'd and pleas'd.
He in the strength of manly youth
With promises sincere
Gazed proudly on the charming maid
Whose love he held so dear.
While she with timid, gentle eyes
Expressive of that love,
That only mortals can possess
When giv'n from Heaven above.
Declar'd the frankness of her heart
For him, the only man,
Her ideal of a king 'mong men,
Who'd won her heart and hand.
Thus stood they in their youthful
pride
A true and happy pair
With VOWS Of love, till death do part
Their joys and sorrows share.
And may rich blessings be their lot
Free from all care and strife
And sweetest flowers and no thorns
Adorn their path through life.
With VOWS true love, till death do

Line Up for Today's
Amateur Title Games

The first two games of the intercity
series with Richmond for the champion
ship. are TO be played today at Amert-
can League park, when Pepco. winner
of the District championship series, and
the Battle Axe team, leaders in a like
series at Richmond, hook up in dou-
BILE header.
Manager Gray. of the. Pepco team is
using Barton. who virtually pitched his
team to victory in the section A series
over Cornell and Beall, who defeated
Ninth in the final game Of the inter-
section series. Manager Parker. of the
Battle Axe team, is using Hulcher and
Whitfield in the two contests. These
two have served as pitchers through
the Richmond amateur season and al
ternate in the box and in the outfield.
The first game is starting at 2 O'Clock,
fifteen-mnute intermission being
called between contests. Little doubt
rests in the minds of the Richmond
contingent, which arrived with their
team this morning. that the Battle Axe
team will be a winner in the first
clashes. The Pepco players are conf
dent that their Red and White colors
will be able to come out on top. plac-
ing their dependence in Barton, who has
never failed them yet.
Next Saturday, Pepco and the Battle
Axe team are to meet at Richmond, and
If the two teams are tied at the con-
CIusion of these games another game
will be necessary to break the tie. II
is expected that the members of the
commissions of the cities will meet
here after the games, although no def
mite announcement to that fact has
been issued from President Robert II.
Young.
Considerable regret has been eX-
pressed among members of the COM
mission that the Cornell-Pepco games
last week were not played at American
| League Park. Owing to the fact that
the Nationals were in town II was i'm
possible to schedule the games there.
| At least 1000 persons saw the two games
and II was estimated that the commits
| sion would have reaped good harvest

PLAN TO

BALTIMORE CLUB
Annual Affair Expected to
Be Arranged With Ariels
in Spring.

The Ariel Boat Club, of Baltimore has
made a proposition to the Potomac
Club to hold an annual interclub rowing
regatta and it is more than likely that
such a meeting will be arranged at a
meeting next Spring.
Now that the affairs of the Potomac
regatta are being closed up the fact
remains that the event was probably
the best of its kind ever seen in Am
erica and while there is a deficit the
members of the club and those inter-
ested in its welfare feel that the regatta
fully warranted such an outlay.
Many of the hard workers have re-
cejved praise for their work in bring

the real hard labor, have been over
