BASE BALL.' HAMMOOTOIT VS. ENERGETIC A. A.

At last the spell has been broken, andthe Hammontons were beaten last Sat-urday through the energetic work of theEnergetic A. A.

It was a good deal luck, and bad luckat that, tbat our bqys lost the game.It was about nip'and tuck before tha —eighth inning, when Brown lett andGeppert tob¥~fils place. The change inthe'affairs of the game can hardly be at-tributed entirely to the new pitcher*though - the visitors began then; to. hit'safely, and Gartside, our new catcher,who had been doing very well, couldhardly hold Geppert. .

A number of errors were made inthe beginning of the game but they nowbegan to multiply. Cunningham led offin the eighth with his overthrow to 1stwhich was found after Fredrick hadtallied; Four runs were counted in thelast two innings on passed balls, andtwo scored on ;NaylOr's muff of Davis'fly. The Bime illluck which seemed fbattend our boys in the field, carryingthe visitors' hits out of our fielders'reach, seemed to drop our brilliantdrives right into the naits of their outside sentinels. Their fielders had nineput outs. Willis squeezed Holland inthe second and fifth, and Conley andWatt in the ninth. Fredrick elicitedconsiderable applause by his catch ofWatt in the sixth; he also mittenedGartside in the seventh and Cunning-ham in the eighth.' Watt distinguishedhimself by running catches of Esper. inthe fourth and Frederick in the sixthand fine throws to 1st,—in the lattercase in time to shut the runnerbff IronTfirst. Mathis caught Willis iu ninth.Notwithstanding the number of errorsmade by our team (which were not sooverwhelming after all), the game wasyery interesting.

Unpatriotic, un-American/

One act of our Town Council, at theirast meeting, seems to 'be generally re-retted and disapproved. Tbey undidhe :work X>f the former Council, by re-

liD^ the ordioance forbidding idola-rous and sectarian parades on our pub-c streets. This last action is a stepackward. The spectacle that wasresented last IGib of July on our publicLreets, when images of so-called saints•ere carried in procession, receiving theeverence of a crowd- of superstitiouseople, is a sight tor a heathen com-

More than that, it is giving up theublic stree'ts to tbe advertising of aurely sectarian matter and forcing onhe attention of the public an exhibitiontat is offensive to the majority. Suchproctedure is un-American and un-

If not to-day,to-morrow, and bustling competitorIs unknown. It is all a climatic necesslty, conducive to longevity and cquiet conscience. Gray heads aremcroua and the number of aged negroes

.is remarkable. I asked some of then:how old they were, but nobody knew.Probably because so many of them arenative Africans, speaking to tbls daythe Congo or Youraba language. Theywere captured when young from slaveehips. The British cruiser Sappho land-ed 1,000 at Nassau In 1838. They wereapprenticed to reputable families andwell brought up. Many of them bearthe named of the best Nassau citizens.Borne of them wear tattooed marks of,their African origin upon their faces.Their character averages better thanthat of the Bahama blacks, who wereemancipated. The negroes constitutefour-flfths of the whole, population.They take no.undue'lfdvantage of tbefact They are admitted to the balloton the same terms' as the whites, en-couraged to make the best of them-selves and all worthy success Is appre-ciated. At a horticultural lawn partyon the government house spaciousgrounds I saw the Governor, Sir Fred-erick Hoynee-Smlth, engaged In courte-.ous conversation with a portly and dls-.tlngulsbed-looklng colored man of thesame name, who Is a member of the'{colonial parliament, and has been post-piaster of Nassau. Many well-dressednnd well-mannered colored people wereion the grounds. They were politelyItreatetl; the excellent musicians we:jail colored. When they played "Godpave the Queen," all heads were un-covered and the people forthwith dis-persed.

OPIUM IN

(SavonCD of the Drag In tho City orLncknow.

There Is a fierce'dispute going on justnow aa to the relative merits or de^merits of opium,' says^the New YorltTimes. Many eminent men in the scien-tific'world openly declare that opiumis a blessing. The government expertsIn the country where It grows go so faras to say that opium Is a blessing In-stead of a curse to the natives. How-ever, the vast majority, of mankind•will long be of the undivided opinionthat opium 'Is the most all-crushingcurse that afflicts man. The enthusi-asts, or, rather, extremists, of the In-ternational anti-opium society picturethe condition of India under the ban ofopium In the most dreadful mannerpossible. According to one of theseWn, all of th§ 6Tf),000,000 of hqman be-ings In Asia are exposed to the evils ofthe opium trade as legalized by theBritish Government In order to derivea revenue from It the Indian Govern-ment' Issues licenses for the sale andconsumption of this poisonous drug Invile places In all large cities, like Cal-cutta, Bombay, Madras, Lucknow, andMaulmaln, and In all towna and vil-lages of India and Burmah. Theselicenses are not Issued for the purposeof limiting the sale of something thatcan not be prohibited, but they areIssued with the requirement that theholder of the license must sell a stipu-lated quantity or pay a forfeit! Themore sold'the more revenue the Eng-llah crown will receive. As the oplurn^is bought from the government agents,of course It Is known how much .theholder of the license sells. A memberof Parliament who was most bitterlyopposed to this traffic h?- been travel-Ing through India gathering facts andseeing for .himself what the conditionof the natives is under an unrestricteduse of opium.

jEJne^of Jthe opium dens ntXncknow ls>graphically described. There Is nosecrecy about selling or purchasingthe<arug; It Is handled as would besugar, flour, or the other necessities oflife. Entering with the customers, you•will find yourself In a spacious but verydirty court yard, around which areranged fifteen or twenty small rooms.This Is the establishment of the government collector—the opium farmer.The stench Is sickening, and the swarm^f-flles-lntolerablsmall rooms. It has no windows andIs very dark, but In the center Is a smallcharcoal fire, the glow of which lightsup the faces of nine or ten human be-ings—men and women—lying on the.

s pigs In a stj\_ A young girlfans the fire, lights the opium pipe, andholds It to the mouth of tbo last comertill his head falls heavily on the bodyof the Inert man or woman who .hap-pens to lie near him. In no groggery.tn no lunatic or Idiot asylum, will onoeec such utter helpless depravity as ap-pears In the countenances of those Inthe preliminary stages of opium drunk-enness. Here one may sec some hand-some young married woman, 19 or 20ye,ara of age, sprawling over the sense-less bodies of men. Here Is a muchyounger girl sitting among n group ofnewly arrived customers Ringing lewdeonga as they hand around the pipes.At night these dens are nil crowded toexcess, and It is estimated that thereare some 14,000 people In Lncknow ab-ject slaves of this hideous vice.

Thore aro those, however, who haveradically different oplnl tas on thoopium question. The use of tho. drugIn America or Europe under vastly dif-ferent climatic conditions has nothingn common with tlin ime of It In Itn na-tive land. The lilnliop of Calcutta, on

lng asked for an opinion on thla sub-ject, said among other thlngH that"while admitting that there are evlliiarlatng from the IIBU of oplnm, wo areof the opinion that they are not mif-flclently great to Just i fy na In reMrlet-ng the liberty which nil iiicn nhonld bepermitted to cxcrdoe In such mat tern.Medical tentlmony oeemu to show that

opium used In moderation In In tblacountry harmless, nnd, under certainconditions of life, distinctly beneflcVil.''

Ono diatlngnlHhed native, ajilgh of-Iclul of the Indian museum, won ratherdarcnotlc when nuked hln opinion onhla subject. He imld that ttie opiummblt waa much preferable to the aleo-lollstn of America and ICuroiie, and rec-

ommended the Introduction of llu» drugno a unbntltnto for alcohol.

IRISH INDUSTRIE^

Association to Promote tho Home an/Cottauro Employments.

Tho Irish Industries' Association was*started by Lady Aberdeen In 1886, Inorder to organize tbo home, cottage andother Industries of Ireland; to promotegood Industrial Instruction -and traln-(Ing; to provide all the workers wltb.good designs; to circulate InformationIn Ireland about Industries in othercountries, and to facilitate tho sale and:the transit of goods. Although they

•are"desirous of Introducing new Indus-'tries that are likely. to succeed, yettheir principle is rather to Improve anddevelop all the existing ones which arerooted In the economic conditions and'-bablts of, the people. -".

During the ten years of the associa-tion's existence these objects bav.e, tov -a large extent, been carried out. Oneof the most Important works they have*recently undertaken has been to 1m- ,prove the South Donegal weaving in-dustry, with the assistance, of the con-gested districts. The manufacturer of;the homespun In that part of the coun-try—usually a email cotter tenant—;.uses the wool of his own sheep, which- •>-Is washed, dyed, carded and spun bythe members of,his own family. .The-,dyes are mostly local products—a red1

Subject: "The Mighty Hunter."

• TEXT: "Ho was a mighty huntor Tioforcthe Lord."—Genesis x.. 9. . .

•In our day hunting is a sport; but in th!•lands nnd tho times infested with wild boast!it'was n matter bl llfo-or Month Wltb thepeople. It was>vory- different.from going

• out on a sunshlriy«ftffernoQn with a patentbreechloader, to shoot reodbUSts on the flats,when Pollux and Aohilles'SJjiQHomodos wentout to clear the land of. lions' and tigers andbears." My text sots forth Nimrod as a herewhen it presents him .with broad .shouldersand shaggy apparel and sunbrowned face,and arm bunched with muscle—"n mightyhunter before the Lord." I think he used

• the bow and the arrows with great successpracticing archery, ••

I have thought if it Is such a grand thingand such a bravo thing To clear wild-boastsout oi a country, if it is not a better andbraver thing to hunt down and destroy thosegreat evils of society that are stalking theland with fler<58 eye and bloody- paw, andshnrp tusk and quick spring. I have won-dered if there is not such a thing as gospel•archery, by-whieh those who have been flying-from the truth may bo captured for God andheaven. The Lord Jesus In His sermon used

. the art of angling for an illustration whenHn said, "I will mate you fishers of mon."And so I think I havo authority for uslugbunting as an illustration ot gospel truth,and I pray God that there may ba many aman to-day who will begin to studv gospelarchery, of whota It may, after a while, besaid, "He was a mighty, hunter before thelord."— . . - . ^___ .—

How miioh awkward Christian work thereIs done in the worM! How pinny aood peo-ple there aro who drive souls awiiy fromChrist Instead of bringing them to Him! All

ors who upset moro than they right. Theirgun has a crooked barrel and kicks as itgoesoff. TWy are like a stupid comradewho goes along with skillful hunters. Atthe very moment whenhn ought to be most•quiet," no "is* crackling «an alder, or fallingover a log and frightening away the game.How few Christian people have ever learnedthe lesson of which I rood at .the beginning-of this service, how that the Lord Jusus•Christ at tho wall went from talking abouta cup qt water to the most practically rt>-tigious truths, which won the woman's soulfor God.

'derstood Him! But how fuw Christian peo-ple there are. who understand how to fastenthe truths of "God and religion to the soulsof men!. Truman Osborno, one of tho evan-gelist? who wont through this country yearsago, had a wonderful art in the right dlroe-

tli« air, Just so easily will this gospel afterawhile catch this round world flyinc from itsorbit and bring it back to the heart of Christ.Give it full swing, and it will pardon everyBin, neal every wound, cut* every trouble,emancipate 'every slave irad ransom uyerynation. .. Yo Christian men and women who ;go out

this afternoon to do Christian work, us youKO into the Sunday-sobools, the lay preach-ing Stations and the peuitenlliiriea :md theasylums, I want you to feel timt you beur iuyour hand a weapon compared with whichihe lightning has no speed, nnd avu'inichu!have no heft, and tho thunderbolts of h»nvnt!nave no power: It is the nrrowof the omntponent gospel. Take cnreftjl aim. Pul!thn arrow clear back until the head strike!the bow! Then lot it fly! And may th<slain of the Lord bo many!. Again, if vou want to be skillful In spirit-

ual archery you must hunt In unfrequentedand secluded places. Why does tho hunteigo three or four days in the Pennsylvaniaforests or over Raqnette Lake Into the wildsof the Adirondacks? It is the only way tcdo. The deer are shy, and one "bang" olthe gun clears the forest. From the Califor-nia stago you see, as you go over the plains,hflijB and there a coyote trotting along, al-most within range" of the gun—sometimes

"quite wf tbfn range of If. No one" cares foithat; it is worthless. The good game is hid-den and snolurted. Every hunter knows that.So, many of the souls that wilt be of mostworth for Christ 'and of most value to thechurch are secluded. They do not come inyour way. You will have to go where theyure. Yonder they are down in that cellar;yonder tboy are up in~tfaat garret. Far awayfrom the door of any church, the gospel ar-row has not been pointed at them. The tractdistributor and city missionary sometimescatch a glimpse of them, as a hunter throughth« trees gets a momentary sight of a part-ridge or a'roebuok. The trouble is, wo arewaiting for the game to come to us. We arenot good hunters. We are stnndlngm somestreet or highway expecting that the timidantelope will come up and eat out of ourhrin<ls. We ~afd~expeotlng~that the prairiefowl will light on our church steeple. It isnoUtholr habit.

If the church should wait 10,000,000 otyears for the world tojjpme in and be saved,It will waHTIif"YaInT~TBS~woria ~w!ll~notcome. What the church wants now is to liftits feet from damask ottomans nnd put themin the stirrups. We want a pulpit on wheels,ThB'Church wants not so much cushions asit wants BadftlebflKsamlnrrowa.- We have.cot to put aside the gown nnd kid gloves an.1put on the hunting shirt. We h;ive been fish-in? BO long in the brooks that run under theshadow of the ohnreh thnt the fish know us;that they avoid the hook and escape as soonas we come to the bank, while yonder is Up-per SarannoandJJie Tuppor's _lal:e^wheretho first swing of the gospel net would breatcit for tho multitude of the fishes. There isontsldo work to be done. What is that I sonin the backwoods? It is a tent. The hfuuters

JAPANESE POLICEMEN.

tlio Moot Aristocratic and Polite Con-stabulary 'Known.

There Is no human being quite scjplito as the Japanese policeman.S'ot to his fellow-countrymen, be jlunderstood; by no means. He rcgardithe bulk of .thorn, probably, with £;ood-natured contempt, for, in th«anguage of Mr. Chevalier, ''he is £,,

gentleman by birth and education."When, in the pursuit of Western cl v-lization, says Pall Mall .Budget;, Japan

cast off feudalism ana put on a frocScoat and a silk hat, thousands of sa-mural, or two-sworded retainers olthe old nobles, found their occupa-tion gone. PO more exhileratlnfilittle expeditions Into the territorleaot the neighboring princes were posanWe and chopping foreigners Into littlehits soon became a game hardljworth the candle. The swords rusteJin their scabbards and finally were,by imperial decree, discarded altogether, and helped a few years lateito decorate the drawing-rooms of Bel.gravia. What was to be done wltbthese swashbucklers, trained to ?TntTtWisHTciuIte Impossible "in ™thimodern army modeled on, the Frenchpattern? The Government wantedpolice. The samurai kuevy ,nothlriuabout the status of the British

'bobby" or of the French gend'arraes, 'so they enrolled in lawnumbers, happy in being able to wear,at any rate,.one sword, and that 'two-handed^ene.

Thus it happens that the Japanesapolice are the most aristocratic forceof constabulary In the world. Thejare a finely disciplined .body, small instature, but well drilled °sand i expertin the use o f - t h e steel-scabbardedweapon which dangles at their heels.

It is to the foreigner—whether h{be the veriest outcast of a no-nation-ality sailor from a kerosene ship, 01a sleek, moneyed globe-trotter—thatthe essential politeness of the Japa-nese policeman Is shown in all Its na-tifre richness With the former classthe police of the foreign ports inJapan—Yokohama, Kobe, and Na-gasaki—have much intercourse, notof the gentlest kind. Yet the scrim-mage invariably has but one termi-nation. The truculent son of Nep-tune is sooner or later handed over tothe-consular authorities of bis coun-try—If he owns one—and lodged inthe foreign jail—Perhaps two police-men will be engaged in tie opera-tlon, perhaps twenty—tnafla a meredetail. Whatja Important is thefact that'once'a" Japanese policemanmakes up his mind to arrest any onowho ia in his hands, he sticks to himwith bulldog tenacity—never Joseqits tcaiper-or-hiB-hold-^and.conducts,.Is victim to the lockup,. If he be aoreiguer, with the greatest urbanitymd much Dollte ceremony.,

There Is naturally more room foino latter quality when a respectableoreigner who breaks the law throughignorance is in question, but thejIrmnoss and pertinacity are alwayij

On the 26th of June the women ofCanton, the home of Hon. Wm. McKin-ley, paid their respects to tbe nomineefor Preeidcnt, to his wife, and his^mother, auring which a Mrs. Jones ad-dressed the women and Major McKinleyin the following pathetic and we believeprophetic words: . ' -&

Sixteen years ago, on the Sundayfollowing; his nomination, James A.Garfield walked^ into" the old homechurch, beuriu!* on his arm his agedmother, and on last Sabbath moruinginto, the church of his early faith walkedour future President, and with himwalked his mother. With home anchor-age such as this, we women have uofeare that under the coming Adminis-tration beartb tires will burn dimmer orcounting-rooms be closed. XJur inenmay deal with questions of tariff audfinance and political policy ; we womenbelieve that the' importance of pureliving is higher than all and are satisfiedthat should you be called to preside overthe destinies of the Nation, we shallhave u man at the head, with a characterso pure aud a record so untarnishedthat any mother here to-day would feel,proud to know that the eteppings ofher little boys might be in the linesparallel with this.In the evening of the same day, a dele-gation from Newark came "to" pay" theiYrespects and in reply to remarks mac.e tohim, by way of introduction, MajorMcKinley said many good things ; buj,none better or more right to the pointthan those in the following paragraph.It shows where this man stands in pa-triotism, in the principles ol his party,and on the platform on which he was.nominated.

itero—throughout—the-country doubts where the Kepublicanparty stands to-day. It stands for are-united country; it stands for theAmerican factory; the American farm ;the American firtside; lor Americanlabor, and American wages, and^Amer-ican-prosperity throughout every "partof our much beloved land. It stuudsfora protective taritt that protects everyAmerican interest (loud applause); itstands for a reciprocity that reciprocates—that gets something for what wo givefrom the nations ol tho world ; it standsfor the reciprocity of Bluiue and ofHarrison, and of the «rent. Republicanparty (loud applause); and it standsnow, as it ban always stood, for soundmoney (vociferouscheering), with whichto measure tuo xtihau^uu of tbe people—a dollar that iswot'ouly.good at bombbut good in every market place in thoworld,(cries of "Bravo"), and with theseprinciples emblazoned on our bannerthis year, 189U, wo appeal to thu delib-erate judgment of tho American -people,and, as Lincoln used to say, 'Thefo isno safer tribunal iu the world than tbeAmerican people,' aud to that tribunalwe confide aud submit our aims audpurpouca this year." . .

Aunt Mary then trimmed off nil thestamens of the fuchs;a but two,-which•vere left for feet.

Margie cut off nil the pctalsyof eaclmarguerite, leaving them as n margin,for the ruffle of the little cap, excepttwo, these petals were left for strings.

As soon as she had finished cue,Ethel marked eyes, nose and mouthoil tho center of It, wl:h pen and Ink.

When this was done Aimt Mary put.a broom straw through the tuba of thefuchsia for arms, and connected thehead with tho body with a pin, nndthin finished a dozen of the euteat littlelower dolls which looked like this.

Margie nnd Ktli»l wercjjellirlitcd, nudtarried, their dolls to the garden wallunder the shade of the largo maple.

Hero they played until their UncleWill asked them to take n drive. Theyhurried off, nud' It was almost ten-Mine when they returned.

Remembering their Howur dolla, tho_vran to get them; but tho hot mm hadcome beating down .on them, and eachlittle flower lady had hrooped, andgrown wenker nnd weaker until sh«had died.—Household.

A Birthday for the Potato.There IB talk In England of having

ft birthday party for tho potato. It InJiiHt aop years uluco the llrat potato'plants wero taken from th|H countryover to London, nnd tho sumo year SirWalter Itulelgh planted Homo of .themIn Ireland.1 Everybody cats potatoes'nowadays, and yet for nearly 200.yeah)tho plant was only a curiosity. Occa-sionally potatoes wero nerved on domeprlnco's tablo n« a great delicacy, oftoncandied llko fruit or aplcod., And highlordu and ladles wore the (lowers an or-uamcuta. It la oald that Frederick thuOreut had to compel tho fnrmera of tilsdominion to plant potatoes. Now they<*r« only too glad to do It.

A Question of Chintz. —•' Sims Reeves, the English tenor, na»Just .been recalled to the public mind lasingular fashion; for, at the age of 74,he has emerged from his retirement^-ind gone again upon the stage.

In the entire history of musical an.there Is no other case of so long and so-successful a career as his. Neverthe-less the kindliest critics agree that he-should not have Invited comparison ofthe voice he has with the voice he had.

Reeves was always the most eccea-trlc and perverse of singers. Innumera-ble stories are told of his audacity in.breaking engagements. In 1803 CoLMapleson had announced him to sln^rIn London, and on the flrst day of the-engagement received a teliJgram from ,Reeves,—who was on his-way to town;.-expressing his surprise that he had ,been qdvertlsed for that evening whenthe engagement was for the followingone. •'• t"

Tho manager at once h'urrled t<rReeve's house, And learned/that dinner;;"had been orderedXfor half-past 7. He-told the butler thaVtho tltud had been,changed, and that thiT-sucal must b»served at -midnight Instead. He thenwent to meet the tenor, who was ac-companied by his wife, at the Eustottrailway station.

While Mrs. Reeves busied hcrselvabout tho luggage Col. Mapleson gotthes^iendr'to"himself, and explained;•—his difficulty. "But It Is quite Impossl- •bio for mo to sing this evening," wa»the answer. "I have ordered my dlnueiat home." '

Col. Mapleson explained that ho lm<\postponed dinner for n few bourn, andthat a light meal was being prcparodfor him In tho dressing-room of the-theater.' The middenuonH of the propo-sition seemed to aniimo tho tenor. He-lilURhed, and actually KIIVO a half prom-I'm! that If hlH wife coiiHentcd, he wouldslug. At that moment hla wife ap-peared, and thu matter watt explainedio her.

"H'o all nonsense," nho exclaimed;"Mapleson Is willing Io ruin you byforcing you to Hlug."

Hlie then went on to attic lto\v any ono-oonld pouulbly think of uuch a thing,wlien tho chintz and ermub cloth of hlauresslng-rootn had not boon arranged.

It had alwayu been hur custom tohang thu wnllH with new chintz, amiplace a froHh dnmnHk cloth on tho /loor,on the nlgbtfl when her linfilmnd HO.DK,and on tliln wcnHlon the HIKTIM! hang-Inirn had gone to tho WIIH)I. That Met-tled tho matter, and llvcviti didtluit night.

BASE BALL.HAMMOOTON .yS. WEST riffi-ADELPHIA

The Hammonton players bad another

'off day," and were 'defeated last Sat-urday by the West Philadelphias with

a score of 4 to 8. •The strong point with the .visitors

was the playing of ' their inflelders.'

Their pitcher was very good, but

Hitchner was better. The latter gave

the best exhibition of pitchine; witnessedin Hammonton this season at least. In

the first inning he gave three bases on

balls, but then realizing that he wouldhave to play the game almost unaided,

he settled down, giving no more bases,striking out seventeen and holding the

visitors down to six hits. As an ex-

ample of his work, we take the-fourth

inning, in which ho' struck out bothDowney and Sharp in'succession by

pitching but seven balls; five more, and

Tracy would have been added to the

unfortunates had the catcher held the

ball or sent it to first in good shape.

The score:

Made on Hammonton's Track,

Thpugh a largo number of tnepta were

held at different places in this section of

the country, on the Fourth, which at

traded a large number of racers, yet

the. fine track and\ the.excellent prizes

at Hammonton'brought ^some of the

icat-tol-onrJ-lown. -The -grand stand.codtained many out of town visitors as

well as the usual attendance of Ham-

montouians. A strong breeze from the

west made good speed on the back

stretch well nigh imp'oesible, though the

time throughout was very good, consid-

ering the wind.

The great event of the day was the

exhibition riding on a Syracuse racing

tandem by two students of the Univer-

sity of Pennsylvania, J. P. Williams,

, and J. S. Williams, '99. Both tire

members of the-University Track Team.

J. P. rode on winning tuntietu at the

recent intercollegiate race's, aud J. S.

was one of the winners in tne dual races

between • Pennsylvania and Harvard

and Pennsylvania and Coracll. Enthus-

iasm was displayed on the part of the

spectators when it was announced that

these riders would try tp break the un-paced tandem record. This was with-

out the usual time of practice on the

track, and Ihe delay for choice of most

favorable conditions of wind, etc., which

is usual with would-be record breakers.

appearing like a blur of red against the
