games and five weeks Of practice
won the game by 14-12 score
Sank Centre kicked off and held
the Morris eleven on their own 40
yard stripe where they were forced
to punt. Sank returned to their
80 from which by a few runs Pang-
burn went over to score and Coke
ley made the extra point. Morris
then scored their first touchdown
in the second quarter, but failed
to make the extra point. At the
half the tally stood 7-6 with Sank
out in front. During the third per-
iod we ran the tally up z more
points. In the last quarter Morris
again scored a touchdown, but
again failed to net the point. The
Harveymen then held out for the
remainder of the game.
Both teams played a good clean
brand of ball making 1t a very close
game. There was considerable punt
ing and both teams did quite well
in that respect.
AS a reward the team was given

there were 100000 more tourists from

Culps Hills.
The story Of the third day is the
story Of Pickett. and the allied divi-
sions Of Pettigrew and Pender-l5.-
900 men in all-and their assault on
the Union center.
Meade had seen Lee attack on the
right. and on the left; he guessed an
attack on the center would be next.
And when the best regiments OF the
Confederacy charged across the fences
and fields Of the valley they charged
into the concentrated fire Of 200 guns
and the massed strength Of the North
ern Army. Scarcely one-third Of the
attacking column returned.
The repulse of Pickett was the last
act OF the battle. Jeb Stuart. up at
last after days of futile riding and
raiding, led the Confederate horse

Union rear after that-but it was
hopeless.

Whatever the argument about the
results Of the battle. there can be no
dispute about the valor of the men
who fought it. The casualty lists tell
their own story.

Employment and pay rolls in private
industry in Washington have both

More Checks Written.
More checks are being written In

checks passing through local banks
rose from a low Of $4l,370,527 in
February of 1893 to $S4,23l,245 in

1888, to $50. .74s,47o in May, 1898. The
1898 clearings, however, were lower
than In 1887.
Real estate and building opera
lions, which constitute the largest
business in Washington next to the
Federal Government. showed tremen-
dous strides from 1888 to 1888.
The most startling change is shown
by the Bureau Of Labor Statistics,
which includes building figures for
both Federal and private projects.
The total for the first five months
OF building here, both Federal and
private. increased from $4,514,s73 in
1898 to $2l l,925.6l4 in 1898. In 1898

OF 1898 here, however, declined from
the similar 1897 period.

construction here and in nearby

boosting the future construction busi.
