Five hits and four runs were made
before the side was retired.
In the seventh frame the locals
made change in their line up but
it was too late to be beneficial to
them even though the change had
been for the better. The visitors
had come from behind in the sixth
frame and won the game by a large
margin.
Goullette who was the slab
artist for the visitors pitched in
vincible ball and besides he was
given excellent support. 1t was
he himself who paved the way for
the winning run in the sixth
frame. After two men were gone
he started the fireworks by getting
a two-bagger. He struck out
seven men, passed three ON balls,
issued two wild pitches and al
lowed but four safe hits.
Wolfe, who opened the game
for the locals, was pounded quite
freely, although in the early stages
of the game the hits did not reach
safe territory. During his period
in the box he struck out four men
and issued thirteen hits. Eros

frame was unable to stem the visi.

EAGLES DEFEAT NJ. 81
Two Lonely Scores in the First Inning Just Saved the
Locals From Being Whtewashed
By J. X. S.

The Eagles from South Still
water who crossed bats with the
locals last Saturday, on the latter's
diamond, won the game by score
of Z to 2.
The locals right from the begin
ming of the game were very badly
handicapped on account of the
absence from the game of their
veteran pitcher. Earlier in the
week he had developed some kind
of sickness, due no doubt, to the
extreme hot weather that has pre-
vailed here for the past ten days.
After few days regeneration in
the local hospital it is sincerely
hoped by all that be will be able to
return to bis position on the dia-
mond at the earliest date possible.
The management has secured some
exceptionally fast teams to play
here in the near future and with
out the support of our most priced
pitcher the locals will be placed in
a position where they will be un-
able to make very good showing
for themselves.
In Saturdays contest the locals
scored twice in the opening frame
and for five successive innings it
looked as though these two runs
would be sufficient to win the
game but after the fifth inning the
visitors batted themselves to an
easy victory.
Up to the sixth frame the locals
had held the visitors to one score
and this was made in the fifth. But

1t is difficult to describe this

A volcano is blacksmith Vul-
cans anvil; Hades' chimney-pot

are silent and the younger ones
are humanity vituperative, singing
mud, water and steam from their
crater mouths. They hand out
hot stuff when they shoot off their
mouths. and when they begin to
rave, like some orators. their
hearers leave.
Human nature has harnessed
many of Natures forces, but
others still run wild. We hope
for the time when twenty below
zero temperature will be put in
cold storage and held over for the
summer ice and the 100 de-

H4MgEH great statesmen have al
V9y ways failed to stand up
under the searching test of insis-
tent popular curiosity and vital
concern.
De BlOwitz, greatest of newspa-
per men in the heroic age of news
paper correspondence, tells in his
memoirs of one famous instance
which tends to justify a faith that
any endeavor to make the pro-
ceedings of the Paris peace con-
ference whisper proof must have
ended in failure.
IT'S a trick and tradition with
statesmen to exclude the public
from knowledge of the chickering's
in the council chamber. More
especially in high politics does the
weight of practice incline toward
the arriving at judgments in
camera.
Thus the proposal. the brave de-
mand for secrecy in the proceed
ings at Paris was in keeping with
the normal, time hallowed way of
the statesman at the peace table.
And it is just as normal that the
secrets should leak out to the peo-
pie.
The hint of the difficulties of
making an international confer
ence of first importance informa-
tion-tight is contained in Mr.. de
Blowitz's description of his re-
porting of the secret proceedings
of the Congress of Berlin of 1878,
which congress, under the leader
ship of Bismarck. virtually nullifed
for Russia her successes in her
war against Turkey, and so
scrambled the situation in south
eastern Europe as to create politi-
cal conditions there constantly en-
dangering the peace of Europe.
The Congress of Berlin was to
be a most mysterious affair until
the own good time of those partic-
ipating. Prince Bismarck swore
those in attendance to complete
secrecy at the opening of the con-
gress. There was to be no imped-
ing of the acts of the congress by
ill-timed criticism or suggestion
from without; there was to be no
interference with the processes of
craftsmanship by public discussion
of methods and aims before these
methods had resulted in. and the
aims realized in, the treaty pro-
duct of%he conference.
Despite the well-laid plans of
high-placed men. however, Mr.. de
Blowitz gave to his paper, the
London Times, authentic and ac-
curate accounts of the day-by-day
deliberations of the congress, and,
to cap the remarkable newspaper
beat, enabled his paper TO publish
the text of the treaty of Berlin at
the very hour it was being signed
in Berlin. This constituted one of
the greatest journalistic feats on
record.
The Times correspondent went
to Berlin to report the sessions of
the congress with reputation al
ready of highest order. His in
ternational fame as a journalist,
however, was of little aid in
enabling him to break through the
whisper proof" aloofness of the
congress. The delegates would
not consent to talk. There was an
agreement and pledge to keep the
proceedings of the congress from
the public.
Mr.. de Blowitz arranged to have
friend and confederate connected
as an attache with the congress.
He arranged with this friend to
obtain the articles adopted and
other concise information after the
daily sessions. and with these lead
ing facts in his possession was able
80 to manage his daily interviews

work.
In order to throw the dis
gruntled inquiry of Prince Bis
mark and others off the track the
great correspondent adopted SIM
pie stratagem. He and his con-
federate never met, nor were pa
pers exchanged between them, nor
yet were papers delivered at any
chosen point.
They merely happened to dine
each day at the same restaurant,
and on leaving, both wearing hats
of like pattern, they exchanged
hats. Reports of the session of
the day were concealed in the
friends hatband.
This plan." Mr.. de Blowitz
writes in his memoirs, was pur-
sued without hitch until the 3rd
of July. The brief notes which |
received in this way enabled me to
see several members of the con-
gress during the evening, begin
ming with the most communicative
one and then going to others,
piecing things together, and thus
composing a perfect description
of the meeting just held.
As an example of how in such
a case information might be
gathered: one evening after dinner
| found this in the hat:
Il have not cleaned much.
Prince Gortchakoff has made a
speech which created little
amusement, ending with the words:
Russia is more jealous of gather
ing the laurels of victory than the
olive branch of peace"
with this phrase l went to a
diplomatist who was an ardent ad-
mirer of the old chancellor. The
conye1 sation began with common
places, but inevitably turned on
the labors of the congress.
1t seems l said, that some
members of the congress ridicule
the speech just delivered by Prince
Gortchakoff. especially the phrase
with which he ended, Russia,
etc.,
"The diplomatist drew himself
up.
" 1t is very wrong to ridicule
it, he said, and l hope you are
not going to be the echo of these
unjust railleries. The Russian
chancellor's speech was very acute
and clever, despite its apparent
pretentiousness. He clearly showed
that and he proceeded to repeat
some passages of the speech.
Il paid two other visits, and to-
ward midnight could telegraph the
speech accurately enough for Lord
Salisbury laughingly to say to me
next evening at Count St. Waller 8
sOiree:
You forgot few commas and
semicolons, but with that excep-
tion the speech was given quite
accurately
81 afterward learned that Prince
Bismarck was very much annoyed
at the publication of the speech,
and that at the next sitting, seated
next to a diplomatist from whom
he fancied l had obtained it. he
lifted up the tablecloth and sar-
castlcally said:
" L am looking to see if Blowitz
is not underneath.
However, the capable report
ing. the professional wizardry OF
of Mr.. de Blowitz of giving to the
public against all odds the details
of their business as transacted by
their diplomatists was to serve

mate interest, it was in one in.

Nature is more accommodating
with her volcanoes here than any
place in the world, for everything
seems easily arranged for the

lava lake of smoke, sulphur, roar

have compared to everything that
Dante said or Dore sketched. 1t
looked indeed like hell. The lava
lake overHowed while was there,
striking the crater sides, making a
noise like the roar of a ship
ploughing through the sea, or the
surf breaking on the shore.
The volcano furnished con-
tinuous performance for the three
days and nights we observed it.
and on the night of February 18th,
Lincoln's birthday, Madam Pele.

which was a striking likeness of
the great president, with a back
ground of red fire, white smoke
and the blue starry sky above.
On a former visit we trailed
around the pit from the auto cor
raj to the observation station; saw
lava formations many and curious;
roasted in the Devils Kitchen;
were photoed and hung in the
DEVILS Picture Frame; and took a
hot bath in Pele's bath room,

Walking around for several

for our "soles" were disinfected by
the sulphur cracks. l imagine
there are smells like this in perdi-
tion. A volcano is a grand place
to wear out shoes, and veritable
abode of lost "soles."
This lake of fire was the place

which forget God.
