Base Ball.

After appeals by circular, newspaper
and brass band, the management of the
Mount Holly base ball club succeeded in
getting better attendance on Saturday,
but the game was not interesting nor up
to the standard of former contests. 1t
was supposed that the first team of Roeb-
ling would be present but that club had
evidently settled its differences with the
Delaware River League as 1t played
against the Palmyra team and the second
nine paid US a visit. Mount Holly did
not have any trouble in defeating the
visitors and at no time during the after
noon was the home team In danger. The
score was nine to four in favor of Mount
Holly.
The Burlington team defeated Medford
on Saturday by the score of too.
Hullings had his throwing arm again
on Saturday and he covered the bases in
good style.
Next Saturdays contest will be good
one. Keep up the good attendance
Mount Holly is playing ball worth look
ing at.
Good umpiring is as necessary to the
enjoyment of game of ball as the other
features are. The Mount Holly manage
ment should not be satisfied with any kind
of umpiring. Give ms the best that can
be secured.
There is rule that says batsman Is
out if he steps out of the batsman's box
in hitting a ball. Mount Holly has one
man who stands with his left foot right on
the line and steps away over In his en-
desvors to hit the ball. He secured his
base twice by being hit with the ball
Saturday, when he should have been de-
clared out for getting out of the box, as
that act was responsible for his being hit

If you will kindly advise any friends

of this fact, would feel very grateful.

Coroner's INQUEST.

On the ninth day of May two boys
found the body of an infant In the Rance
cas- creek at Two Bridges. They at once
notified the authorities, the body was
taken care of and coroner Bolton was
notified. A jury was empaneled and fur
Their proceedings were deferred until some
tangible evidence had been secured. De-
tective Parker worked on the case and was
about to give 1t up when he heard some
thing which led him to go on and the re-
suit was the arrest of Margaret Muse,
colored, on the charge of throwing baby
into the creek.l
The coroner called the jury together
yesterday and the case was heard at the
court house. The boys who found the body
related that instance and DR.. Parsons told
of his postmortem examination which
showed that the infant was one of full
development. Persons with whom accused
had lived and who were acquainted with
her gave evidence as to her appearance,
but none of them could tell anything
This was left to the woman herself. She
was asked If she wanted to make state
ment, being warned that anything she
might say would be used against her. She
said she had nothing to say. Prosecutor
Atkinson, who was looking after the case,
then presented q statement he had re-
ceived from the woman under the third
degree" at the Jail. This presentation had
a slight resemblance to the ridiculous.
Having told the woman that she might
make q statement to the jury and she hav-
ing declined to do so, 1t seemed trit1e
absurd to read evidence she had given
some time before, knowing that the accus-
ed was not represented by counsel and
would not answer the charges. 1t also
seems equally absurd to read statement
that was said to be made voluntarily, "
when the paper showed that every state
ment was drawn out by questioning on
the part of Prosecutor Atkinson.
However the Prosecutor insisted 1t was
perfectly right and legal to take this pro-
cedure and the statement was read. In II
the woman admitted that she had child
about the time one was found In the creek,
but she insisted that 1t was not of full
growth. She said she threw this one into
the creek.
| On the question of the full growth Of
the child hinged the verdict. If the wo
mans statement was correct the child
found in the creek was not hers, and there
was no evidence whatever to show thai
she had told the truth or lie. Conse
quently there was long discussion anC
the jury finally returned verdict of In
ability to agree on fastening the death o
the child on any one person. The iury
stood five In favor Of holding the accused
with one against.
Prosecutor Atkinson will hold the wo
man on another charge and the grand iur
will look into the case.

During the week commencing July ~
the Orpheum Players at the Chestnut

Green Stockings"
"Green Stockings" might imply story
of decidedly spicy flavor, but it is best to
set matters Alright and begin by telling
the real birth of the rather brilliant label.
1t is an old English country custom
which requires an elder sister to wear
green stockings at the wedding of her
younger sisters, if that younger sister has
captured husband first.
The play is strictly comedy with a
love story interviewer of an unusual sort,
but none the less sweet and entertaining.
1t is told in three acts, and is from the
pen of A. E. w. Mason, the scenes being
at the home of William Faraday, near
Southampton, England.
In the Orpheum presentation of "Green
Stockings" Marion Barney will be seen in
the role created and played with tremen-
dous success all last season by Margaret
Anglin- Celia Faraday; Charles Balsar
will be seen to splendid advantage in the
part of Colonel Smith; Robert Wayne will
have the part of William Faraday, Marie

BETWEEN THE EYES.
A Fist That Will Give the Devil a
Knock out Blow.

Boston, Jan. 21.-"The eight US
campaign of the Men and Religion
Forward Movement has shown that
Christianity is a fve-fold doctrine,
which. when it closes, forms fist that
hits the devil squarely between the
eyes, exclaimed George L. Cady, to-
night, when he brought to a close the
last meeting of the Forward Move
ment in Boston at the Park Street
church.
During the day 20 meetings were
held in as many churches of Gree ter
Boston and, tonight, the grand rally
and experience meeting denoting the
close of the eight-days campaign vas
held in the Park Street church. Sta
tistics given by Secretary Charles
Pierce showed that 27,549 men and
boys had been reached by the moe

the speaker claimed, had taken a sep

partment, which was issued today.
This showing is the most remarkable
in the history of the department. Dur
ing the fiscal year, 80 individuals
were indicted on the charge o. using
the mails in furtherance of schemes
to dafraud. OF this number. 1856 persons
We're tried and 1S4 We're convicted The
schemes investigated We're of endless
variety. Chief Inspector Sharp says:
In no instance, as far as known to
this office, has person convicted on
a criminal charge of this character
attempted to re-organize his scheme
under a new name as was often the
case where fraud orders alone We're
resorted to.
The result of the years work has
developed the fact that these fraud
manipulators are distinct class of
criminals. some of them moving in
the highest social and business circles,
but nearly all having more or less af-
fliations and connections with. or de-
visers of. schemes or enterprises OF
illegitimate character in which they
are not known as promoters.
In view of the heavy loss to the post
office department in prosecuting the
case, Mr.. Sharp recommends that this
work be taken over for inquiry by the
department of justice.

only on orders from the French embassy
at Rome, 1t had previously been report
ed that the captain disembarked the

leave the port
The French foreign office declares that
no such orders emanated from Paris, but
on the contrary the consuls We're in

all surrender, 1t is further stated that
the question of the Turkish nurses on

that the ambassador said that he was
