A Sensational Game of RaII,

The best game of ball that has been
seen in this part of the country this
season was pulled off Saturday after
noon at the Hamilton ball park be-
tween the regular nine from here and
the nine calling themselves the River.
side boys. These same teams have
played several games before during
the last few weeks, the first game was
a draw and was called on account of
darkness, the next the Riverside boys
won by a small score. Saturday they
played thirteen inning game, and
Hamilton won by score of ten to
nine.
The game was close one from the
start, no time during the game was it
conceded to either side, some errors
and some bad plays were made on each
side and these sort of helped keep the
score at near tie the entire game
Last week it was the painful duty OF
the scribe to criticise our star player,
his royal highness, Capt Geo. w. An
gel 1t proved just what he needed
We do not know whe Ter he profited
by the suggestions made or not, but
we do know that he went into the
game today with vengeance. Here
are a few of the things that he did: he
Knocked a three Dagger, he made more
hits than all the other men on the
team combined, and he proved his as
sertion to the satisfaction of every
one present that he is the best first
baseman in Hancock county," He
played fast ball and talked about as
fast as he played. and the talking and
the playing together won. This makes
one game apiece for these two teams
and the one that is scheduled for next
week gives promise OF unusual inter
est. Business of all kinds will be
abandoned and We VIII be found at the
ball game, and here's hoping that the
mkt game will be as good one as the
one today.

A FAKIRLESS SHOW.

The Sun Brothers Worlds Pro-

billed to exhibit at Camden Satur-
day, October 4, for two perform
ances, is one of the Legitimate out
door amusement institutions of
this country. 1t has & record of
twenty-five years of continuous
service before the people of this
country and further has the dis
tinction of being the very cleanest
tented exhibition that ever tra-
versed the good old United States.
1t has never allowed any fakirs,
gamblers, fortune tellers, Oriental
dancing girl concerns, no catch
penny devices, no ticket scalpers,
no short change artists, no people
to follow it from town to town with
questionable prize schemes, no
street corner ropers in and in fact
nothing that can in any way reflect
on a frst-class, well conducted, ed
ucational attractive and real enter
tainment enterprise. The policy
of the management is to be enter
tainers of the public and not part
and parcel of bunch of grafters.
The show this season is the finest
and best ever devised by this we'll
known and liberal firm of managers.

Jim CROW CAR CASE
BEFORE SUPREME COURT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Probably
the most novel "Jim Grow" car case
ever before the supreme court of the
United States reached it today when
the Alabama & Vicksburg Railroad
Company filed an appeal from the YER
dict of the Mississippi court which
awarded Miss Pearl Morris $15, 900 for
distress of mind and body caused by
being required to occupy berth in a
Pullman car in which three negro men
occupied berths. The supreme court
of Mississippi reduced the damages to
81, 900.
Miss Morris boarded the train and
upon entering the Pullman she observ-
ed the presence there of three negro
men. She at once demanded separate
accommodations, which we're refused.
The case may serve as a precedent
in case of affirmance as to state "Jim
crow" laws securing separate accom-
modations on passenger trains means
that separate Pullman cars must be
furnished as well as separate "passen-
ger" cars.

The fight in which Anderson and
