AVY BATTING, BUT POOR FIELDIN GREAT FIELDING AT THIRD—SOME: GAMES IN OTHER TONSHIP RECORD—NOTES. CITIES—THE € The Senators owe their defeat of yesterday to several causes: First, to Staley’s great pitech- ing when men were on bases; second, to their miserable inficld work at critical moments, and, third, to their customary bad base-running. It is only just to Staley to characterize his work in the box as excellent, for although he was pounded very hard and very often, he showed good judgment with men on bases, and as a re- sult five men were left on third, four on second, and two on first. He kept the hits of the home team well scattered. The final score was 9 to 7, but it should have ll to 4 in favor of Washington. The batteries were Haddock and Mack, and Staley and Lauer. Haddock did splendid work and deserved far better support than he received. Shoch played a good game in right, taking ina diffi- eult fly after a very long run. for which he re- ceived gr applan Hoy had but one which he pted.

The home team has done well this week, winning two out of the three games played. ‘This has raised the percentage from .250 to -800, and the Senators are now in a position to work up into seventh or sixth plac within the coming week. In giving the credit for the im- provement that has been shown of late too auch judicious praise jot be given to young Fersou, whose work in the box has materially aided the home team to win. He pitched in the two successful games this week. Aleck Ferson is the leading pitcher in the league to- day, having the best record as far as official figures go, and having won ail but one of the games in which he has pitched. In conse- of this fact and that he is a debutant in Sec tangas Shia pear, oll tha. ayes of ‘tha bess ball world are on him. He is one of Ted Sulli- van's lucky finds, and is to-day one of the mainstays of the home team He from the grounds ; Then j is a well-built, active fellow young ALECK FERSON. twenty-three years old and weighs between 165 is about the medium r in movement in his pitching that is y¥ effecti When he faces a batsman he sizes him up, from one end to the other, and then, with one foot well ad- vanced, straightens out his left arm and sights over the ball at the plate. If there is a man on b tches him out of the corner of his mally height, ng quick as a flash, to roinfiture. His eommand as, and his deliberate, careful movements worry the heavy hitters So far this year he has shown that he can be hit hard without getting rattled, and on two or three occasions has developed ‘a great amount of what is known as head-work. Al- though this is his first year in the league, he has a very fair acquaintance already hitters, and, aided by Mack, has succeeded in fooling the best of them. He frankly attribute much of his success to Mack’s support, who, he . has every man in the league down fine. He used to be a batter himself, before he er tered the league, but he has not his fear of getting hit, and has not done much with the stick so far. He expects, however, to improve with the season, Ferson delphian, and used to play ball around the lots in the City of Brotherly Love until some one saw his talent, and in the spring of iS87 he was signed by the Manchester team. He pitched there that season, and in the winter went to Californfa with the Philadelphia club. In the spring of "88 he signed with Milwaukee, but he was shortly after released on account of alame arm. Then he went to Lynn and made abig record. Manchester bought him when the sea L played year there, continuing his fine work. Sullivan’ bought him last fall, along with Car- ark, his regular catcher. He was- rried to a young lady of Manchester last He says that he is here to win, to all his heart, and that he likes the ci people, Thus far the reeling is reciprocated. His habits are good and he plays with a good nature and a vim that is very encouraging to the other men. He thinks highly of Morrill as a captain, and has implicit falth in the wisdom of his directions. The Philadeiphia Press thus remarks about him: “It isa little early in son to predict just how the young pitch: talent will turn out, but there is no vetera with play ; and its in the National league who faces a batter with more confidence than young Ferson of the Washingtons, while his delivery is of the easiest, not excepting Keefe of New York.” He has played in five <, winning four of them, and has been hit for an average of 6 1-5 agame. The game he lost w son, and the tide of the day cision of the umpire on a‘ hit by Ebrig was palpably fair, but called foul. THE MEN AND THEIR WORK. The home management has released Banning.

The race for the pennant between Philadel- phia and Boston promises to be very interest- Ing. The Babies are playing one of the strongest fielding games in the league. “It is believed among certain base ball men that Morris, the Pittsburg left-hand pitcher, will never be what he has proven to be in the past. This belief is based on the fact that his arm is not, and will probably never again be, in perfect condition.”—Phila. Press, The Pittsburg team is woeful: in the box.

The Popular Idea that it was Derived from Amerigo Vespucci Disputed. The bulletin of the Paris geographical so- ciety, which has just been issued, contains an account by M. Jules Marcon of certain further researches which he has made into the origin of the name “America.” As far back as 1875 he published a paper on the same topic, which attracted much attention at the time, and he has since devoted much labor in the investiga- tion of early historical documents in which the New World is named. The popular notion that America was so called from the Christian name of Amerigo Vespucci is, he says, wholly unfounded and he sums up his conclusions in this way: 1. Amerique is the Indian name of the mountains between Juigalpa and Libertad in the Prov- ince of Chontales. which separates Lake Ni ragua from the Mosquito coast. The word in the Maya language significs “the windy country.” or “the country where the wind blows always.” The Christian name of Ves- pucei was Alberico in Italian and Spanish, Albericus in Latin. This particular name is subject to an enormous number of variations, as the nomenclature and calendars of Italian and ish saints of the period show; but no- where is there any such variation of Americus, Amerrigo, Amerigo, Almerigo, &c., and none of these is either iminutive of a vai ‘ion in use in Italy, Spain or France, for Alberico or Albert. 4. Before 1507, when Jean Basin of Saint Die published the name, it is not to be found in any printed document, nor even in any manuscript of recognized and incontestible authority. M. ‘con claims that his theory of a native origin for the name America has been accepted in Spain, Spanish Amerie: w ceptions, im the United States; in France, (ic m: and Italy it has excited doubt and sur- prise, but in the last named he has the support of the eminent Turin geographer, M. Guido Cora, There is no doubt that Columbus and Vespucci went along the Mosquito coast att feet of the Sierra Amerrique and that the name was reported by the officers and men of these expeditions, and Sehoner, the geographer, de- clared in 1515 that the name was already popu- lar in Europe. According to the London Times it is beyond question that oi on bis third vo the place of the Christian n Ninetecn edi- tions had Albericus, avd subsequent Italian editions had Alber The one with Amerigo on the tile page was published in 1506, but M.

Just at Springtime All the Insects Are Developing. From the Housekeeper. To kill cockroaches and waterbugs the fol- lowing may be used: Boil an ounce of poke root in one pint of water until the strength is extracted; mix the decoction with molasses and spread it in plates on “he kitchen and laundry floors and in the closets or anywhere where the vermin may trouble you. Powdered borax is said to be very effective in driving away cockroaches, but must not be used with the poke root remedy, as it will prevent the roaches coming near the latter; it will be u: ful later to prevent the coming of new relays. To exterminete ants grease plates with lard and set them where these insects abound and they will crowd upon the plate to eat it, as they are extravagantly fond of it; they can then be scraped into the fire or into the slop pail and drowned. For rats and mice it is said that one drop of oil of rhodium on the ordinary bait u: in rat and mouse traps will attract those creatures, as they have such a liking for it that they will risk any thing to obtain it. Powdered’ squill spread with lard upon bread will also attract rats, as they are fond of it. Chloride of lime seattered dry around and in their holes will banish rats effectually, and it has this in its favor, it is a wholesome disinfectant. To con- etude, it is useless to employ many of these recipes, if large cracks under the surbases of rooms are neglected; these should all be stopped up by putty and painting, the latter being very deadly to insects, Cracks in floor- g should also be looked after, as these fur- nish a retreat or safe harbor for vermin, ~eee FOREIGN OTE! The German reichstag yesterday passed the aged workmen's insurance bill. Dr. Boetticher, imperial ex-secretary of state for the interior, on behalf of the emperor, thanked the house for passing the measure. The American commissioners to the Samoan conference were yesterday presented to the em- peror at a soiree. Mr. Gladstone was knocked down by a cab in London yesterday. Several spectators as- sisted him to his feet, and finding himself un- injured he ran after the vehicle and stopping it held it until the driver was arrested, The Portuguese budget committee has de- cided against the proposed premium on wines for export. A Pan-Servian plot has been discovered in Bosnia anda number of Russians have been arrested. The Countess Crosy, of the old nobility of Austria, has gone on the road with her circus troupe. She will take it to Paris before the ex- position closes.

The pope, in his allocution at the consistory yesterday, protested against Italian legislation hostile to the charitable institutions of the Catholic church. The proposal to erect a monument in memory of Giordano Bruno, who was burned asa heretic at the end of the six- teenth century, was denounced by the pope as an outrage upon religion.

How it Will Probably Affect the United States in the Fature. From the San Francisco Bulletin. It is announced that the Siberian railway scheme has been approved py the commission appointed to consider it, and that the road will be completed in six years. It has been hereto- fore reported that American capital and skill would be largely drawn upon to carry out the enterprise. The line will open a country simi- lar to our northern tier of states and Southern Canada for a distance of over 4,000 miles, be- side its western connections and lateral feed- ers. It is expected that a branch will be run southward into Manchuria, and thence to Pek- ing, to join the Chinese system which has already been commenced to connect the capital with its port, Tientsin, 70 miles distant. That will give the road two termini. one at Viadivostock, the other at Tientsin, with the practicability of extensions to other Chinese trade centers and ports. The opening of the line from Tientsin to Taku was accomplished in the face of much official and popular opposi- tion, A short time ago it was announced that the conservative party at the Chinese court had succeeded in stopping further work, but since then more liberal counsels have pre- vailed, The death of Prince Tun, one of the young emperor's uncles and an influential con- servative. probably contributed to that end. The road will now be pushed to Pekin without delay. It is known that in Manchuria, near the line which a connecting road would naturally take, rich gold deposits exist. They have been worked to some extent by Chinese and whites from Siberia, but there has been no adequate development of the country. The Russian trunk line between Semipal- atinsk and Vladivostock will run near the north- ern base of the Altai range. which separates Siberia from the Chinese dominions, Around the headquarters of the Irtish river, near Semi- palate, deposits of silver and copper have een discovered and gold and lead in small quantities. In the Yablonnoi mountains, the section of the Altai just west of the Amoor country, where the range breaks down to an undulating plateau, gold, silver, lead, zinc, an- timony, iron and arsenic are found, and em- erald and topaz mines of great value exist. The country along the line for a width of several hundred miles is in part covered with valuable forests of pine, fur, larch, poplar and hard woods, Along the rivers wheat and other grains, tobacco, vegetables, &c., grow well, and the grazing is excellent. The fertility of the Amoor region is well known. Some day a great population of the Caucasian race will fill this country and reach out to trade with the United States. There are many products which this state could furnish them better than any other part of the world. In many ways this opening of anew route of travel around the world wiil be of especial significance to the United States, which must of necessity be one of the most important points on ‘The effect which the building of this road is likely to have upon China is also a most important” fac- tor in forecasting the future.

Gath in Cincinnati Inquirer. A weakness in the American social system is introducing people to each other without any utility or right. Not long ago I was at a public place where there were some hundreds of in- vited guests, A young man who was present came up and spoke to me, upon the very slight- est previous acquaintance, and immediately in- troduced me to another’ person, and then he seemed to go around the halls’ and saloons and drag other people up to introduce them, whom he had barely known a few minutes. Hay. ing got done with’ these miscellaneous intro- ductions, he paid no further attention to the entertainment in hand, but bolted for the door and the street, having accomplished probably as much small havoe as he could have contem- plated if he had been thinking about it for months. There is no right to introduce an acquaintance to astreet full of people. It takes up time, is without any reasonable motive, and is a specics of familiarity which breeds more than contempt. In this way imposters get their opportunity upon these instantaneous acquaintances, On the other side of the water the matter of introducing people to each other 1s made too formal, perhaps: but there is golden mean somewhere, which ought to put it out of the power of an ‘unblushing person to rush upon gentlemen in conversation that one of them may be compelled to introduce his correspondent. —--_——-eee______ At a Drinking Fountain.

Talso find the Recamier Preparations absolutely peerless, and assure you I shall always use them. If this letter can in any way be of service to you do not hesitate to use it. Very sincerely yours, HELEN MODJESKA, ‘Mme. Modjeska, Countess of Bozenta. You can have a beautiful complexion by using the Recamier Cream, provided you avoid all cosmetics. It will remove the damage caused by cosmetics, It will remove pimples, liver spots, blackheads, and red- ness of the skin, Any of these imperfections on & wo- man’s face is equivalent toa painted sign saying: “This woman is uncleanly in her personal habits; she does not think it worth while to make herself attractive.” Send for free sample of Recamier Powder. RECAMIER MFG. CO., 52 and 54 Park Place, New York City. A FEW WORDS ABOUT SOAP. Mme. Patti gives her opinion of Harriet Hubbard Ayer’s Recamier Soap in the following words; CuarG ¥ Nos CasTLe, Oct. 30, 1887. Recamier Soap is perfect. I thought other soaps good, but I had never tried the Recamier. I shall never use any other, It far surpasses all toilet soaps. ADELINA PATTI NICOLINI While we will not furnish you with beautiful adver- tisements in the shape of pictures, &c.,we respectfully call your attenfion to the following testimonials as to the merits of Recamier Sarsaparilla: U, 8.

I am, very respectfully, JOHN H. MITCHELL. Judge Gunning 8. Bedford writes: New Yox, April 11, 1889, Mus, Harner HUBBARD AYER, Dzan MapaME: Through the solicitation of a friend I was induced to try a bottle of your “Recamier Sarsa- parila.” It is agreat remedy, giving, as it does, tone and vigor to the system. Ican cheerfully recommend it, and especially to all professional and business men who become worn out from time to time by overwork, and suffer great phy- sical fatigue aud nervous anxiety on account of their arduous duties, Gratefally yours, GUNNING 8, BEDFORD. The lovely and accomplished daughter of the great Chief Justice and Finance Minister of Abraham Lin- coln writes to Mrs. Ayer about her Recamier Sarsa- parila: WasurnGron, April 4, 1889.

Will you supply this Mission Chapel direct from your manufactory at wholesale rates for such small purchases as a dozen bottles at an order? Yours truly, C. SCADDING, Minister in Charge. Dec. 14, 1888. New Yor, Aug. 16, 1888. Dear Mas.

MELANIE. 206. 18th at, New Yorks Dee, 2b 1088, $ Mars, Hanniet HUBBARD AYER: Dean Mapame: The Rev. Dr. Rainsford has desired me to write and ask of yous favor. Last year you most generously donated a large quantity of Vita Nuova for the parish poor. It has been carefully dispensed, and has proved most beneficial to many. ‘The last bottle was given a few daysago, and the favor I am desired to ask is: Would you again kindly remember the poor sick by contributing for their use some more of your excellent tonic? ‘With sincere thanks for the favor you have conferred by your gift, I remain, dear madame, yours truly, J. E. FORNERET. ‘Vita Nuova is the best remedy for dyspepsia, nerv- ousness, sleeplessness, and overwork. It will assist the weak stomach, it will rest the weary brain, it will “brace up" the shattered nerves, As itis made from the prescription of a famous physician, you are not tak- ing » quack medicine. As it is made by an honest manufacturer, you are assured of pure ingredients. As itis used and indorsed by men and women you all know and respect, you are not using an unknown or untried remedy; only be careful to get the genuine; refuse substitutes. ; TO INSURE PROMPT ATTENTION’ DO NO FAIL TO ADDRESS ALL LETTERS TO THE RE- CAMIER MANUFACTURING COMPANY, 52 AND 64 PABK PLACE, NEW YORK CITY, - SUMMER RESORTS.
