Yesterday's game goes down on the records a» being won by St. Louis by the score of 10 to Gin six innings, sufficiently finished to slew i call the game on account o} Gatknene “There were not more than fifty of the 2,000 people present who knew when they left the grounds that the game was not tied. When Davis beld up his band in the sixth, after the visitors had scored two runs, and murmured that he could not see there cheer and a rush out of the seats. Folks cor mented on the remarkable coincidence of there been two tie games in succession and thought that Davis had evened up the business by calling the game back to the fifth ini POOR UMPIRIXG. ‘There could scarcely be any worse work than that done by Davis in the first three innings on Dalls and strikes. It was palpably bad when viewed even from the bleachers, but to those who sat directly behind the catcher and could . height and direction of the balls the @ecisions given were heart-breaking. In one instance Hoy struck at a ball with such force as to turn himself completely around, and yet Davis, in that strong, able-bodied voice that is his only redeeming feature just now, sang out that it was a ball. But he tried to even on this Piece of wretchedness by calling a strike on ‘another St. Louis man later in the game when he turned the pitch into afoul, this being on the .d of his having made a deliberate attempt tout the ball A RULE WHICH GAVE THE GAME TO ST. LOUIS. In fact Davis’ acquaintance with the rules ‘was something remarkable, even for an umpire. ‘When he called the game in the sixth even Comiskey did not know of his good fortune fand began to kick. The man at the bat smashed his stick to the ground and used bad language, while a smile crept over the faces of the States- men that confirmed the popular delusion. The umpire had the spots on the rules, however, for he pointed out a clanse that states as follows: “If the umpire calls ‘game’ on account of @arkness or rain at any time after five innings Bave been completed by both sides the score Shall be that of the last equal innings played. Bnless the side second at bat shall have scored @ue cr more runs than the side first at bat, in Which case the score of the game shall be the otal number of runs made.” TRE GAME. ‘The batteries for the day were Eiteljorg and McGuire and McGill, Rettger and Darling. Eiteljorg was very wild and not particularly ef- fective. He sent ten men to bases on balls or ‘on being hit. and then he was hit when hits were useful to the other side. He was severely punished in the second inning, but the runs made in the third were scarcely his fault. They were in the sixth, however. McGill began work as if he were going to strike out the game. He forced three men to fan in the first inning, but by the third inning he began to weaken ‘and inthe fifth he was anded right merrily. Three singles and a Toabie were made by the Statesmen, and fire uns were scored, tieing the score. Then Com- fekey took him out and substituted Kettger, Who was very effective for the two innings that he pitebed. Neither side scored in the first inning, though McGuire worked his wxy around to third on be- ing bit, and with the aid of two passed balls. For the visitors, with two out, McCarthy went to first on balls and stole second, but tlie next wan hit to Hatfield and died on first. ‘THE FIRST TALLY. Washington started the run making in the second. McCauley went to first on balls and was forced at second by Dowd, who bunted harder than he meant. Dowd stcle second and | went to third on a d ball, scoring when Alvord hit to right for abase. Eiteljorg struck ou it. ‘St. Louis did better than one run. Lyons led off with a single to center and Comiskey sacri- ficed. Boyle lined one down the right streak for two bases and Darling put another double & litte further into right’ MeGill was pre- sented with a base and Hoy flied out to Dowd, but Fuller cleared the bases with his emash to ieft center for three Then McCarthy put wpa high fly mght im front of the plate that MeGuire toot. “Four rane were coral. ‘The Senators reduced the lead in the third by tallying twice.

Sutcliffe kept tp his record by smashing out asingle through ort and McGuire went to third. McGill lost hiseye for » minute and put in a very wild ball that went to the stand and stuck in the mud, McGuire scoring easily. Sutcliffe also scram= bied around from second and was given a lif by the error of McGill, who dropped the ball when it was thrown. Comiskey held the run- ner off the plate and claimed the out, but Davis sew the play, for a wonder. PLENTY OF RUNS. This put the spectators in a joyful mood, for @ to $ was much better than 4 to 1, but the joy was short-lived, for Washington indulged in some rank field work that enabled the visitors to score four more runs in their half. Hatfield | let O Neill’s grounder go straight through him, and Lyous puts safe one out of the reach of Alvord, which sent O'Neill to third, he having stolen.” Then Comiskey gave Alvord an easy grounder, which he scooped up nicely, but “his row was something fearful and wonderfal, joing away out to center. O'Neill scored and ons went to third, but Comiskey was thrown ‘out at second by Curtis, who sent the ball back With asnap that was delightful. Boyle went own on balls and he and Lyons and Darling scored when the last-named man sent a hot single to right, which Sutcliffe threw back so wildly that the ball went among the carriages, After that the bases were filled Ly a base on balls to McGill, a force out ou Hoy’s grounder, Fuller's two-bagger to right and McCarthy's being hit, but Curtis made a wonderful catch of | the dy that went forth from O'Neill's bat and saved a good three-bagger.

Comiskey Boyle hit to center for # balls to Darling and Rett and Hoy a safe hit that bounded over the head of Eitelj through Hatfield's outetret runs were scored and Fuller was at the bat when Davis did the act of calling the game. Washington made 8 hits and 5 errors and St. Louie 11 hits and 5 errors. OTHER Games. Louisville took seventh place by winning from the Athletics, 3to2. Meekin and Ryan and Bowman and Cross were the batteries. ‘The Colonels made six hits and one error and the Athletics seven hits and three errors. Columbus made two runs in the ninth and es- caped a shut-out. The score was1lto2. The Baltimores won by hard hitting, making four- teen hits and two errors to eight hits and five errors by Columbus. The batteries were Mad- den and Robinson and Gastright and Donohue. Haddock pitched one of his great games and kept the Brewers guessing. ton had no trouble winning, though hillen pitched nearly as well. Better field work did the business. ‘The score was 8 to 2. Boston made seven hits and one error and Milwaukee five hits and five errors. NOTES. Milwaukee today. Dalrymple plays left for the Brewers. Davis can work the dark for all itis worth. George Shock is one of the greatest favorites of the country here. ‘ Davis should remember that Washington stuck by him when the other towns were after his sealp. Phelps says that five association clubs have made profits this season, two are alittle behind and one is about even, Hutchinson kept the Phillies down to one hit yesterday in the game with Chicago. Murphy and Sutcliffe each made two singles, Dowd, McGuire and Alvord made one apiece, and Eiteljorg secured a double. Eiteljorg gave seven men bases on balls and hit three others. The Boston association players held a meet- ing yesterday and signed contracts for next yeur. The men who did this honorable act are Duffy, Richardson, Stricker, Murphy, Brown, Fitzgerald, O'Brien and Radford. Brouthers was weak and would not sign. Haddock, Far- rell and Buffinton are expected to sign today. ‘They were not present. ‘This action was taken on account of the efforts of the league to get the men. Agentshave been busy for some weeks. —— BUTLER AND STOKES, ‘The South Carolina Senator Applies Epithets to the President of the Alliance. The fight between old-line politicians and leaders of the alliance in the south is getting extremely personal. Senator Biftler of South Carolina is out in an interview denouncing Dr. J. W. Stokes, president of the alliance of South Carolina, whom he charges with mis- quoting and misrepresenting him in the alli- ance organ. The Senator refers to Dr. Stokes as “devoid of principle and honorable qual- “All the circumstances,” says Senator Butler, “convict him cither of — self- stultitication or, what is worse, ful falsehood.” ‘In closing his interview Senator Butler uses these words: “If there is anything the people of this state detest and despise it is a sneak and liar.” A mass meet- ing is to be held at Batesburg, 8. C., on Sep- tember 9, which Senator Butler will ‘attend to meet Stokes on the stump. ———<oe_—_____ HOW DREW WAS DpPED. The Ex-Assistant Cashier of the Keystone Sank Tells All About It. Ex-Assistant Cashier Charles Lawrence of the Keystone Bank of Philadelphia has written a statement of the methods which were used to deceive ex-Bank Examiner Drew. Lawrence is now in the eastern penitentiary serving out his term of seven years for complicity in wrecking the bank. The statement, which is in a letter addressed to Drew, says: “I beg to submit to you the fol- lowing circumstances as to the manner in which you, as national bank examiner, were deceived in your examination of the Keystone National Bank. In the first place permit me to say that, in general, every means possible were used to both swell the assets of the bank and to diminish the liabilities. There was no regular method adopted, but at one time some means were resorted to and at other times some other plan suggested itself I can, therefore, only tell you in a general way of the various things done to deceive you without specifying any icular time at which the particular falsifi- cation was made. First as to the individual ledgers. These came Witbin the scope of my own knowledge and are facts with which I am personally acquainted. As to the other departments my knowledge comes from what I have seen and heard, and, therefore, I am able to draw pretty strong inferences. The individual ledgers were altered at least twice every year, about the times you were looked for. ‘This was done by me since 1880, and the methods pur- sued Were various. Sometimes whole pages were abstracted. Mostly false balances were made by altering the pencil figures. Large balances were decreased and overdrafts wiped out. Sometimes false credits were posted to an overdrawn account, so that your attention would not be drawn’ to ledger more mi- nutely by an overdrawn account, when you might possibly see something else to excite your suspicion. Sometimes false checke were posted to an account having a large balance, so as to reduce liabilities. This, you can readily see, required alterations and’ fealterations to a very large extent, because if a check had been falsely posted to’an account and then that yarty drew on the account himself, in the regu- Ler course of business, you will sec. that if oe. cessitated a rearrangement of his acconat and a corresponding change m some other account. This was done to the extent of probably =500,000, more or Jess—I cannot tell any nearer than that. “Now, I know that on the tellers’ side there were memoranda carried as cash which repre- sented the amount Mr. Lucas owed the cash drawer. This was replaced at the time of your examination by cash, which was tem- porarily borrowed, sometimes by means of a due bill taken from the back of the due bill book, sometimes by means of a certificate of deposit or by the president obtaining # loan. “The bills discounted were swelled by the in- troduction of fictitious notes. ‘These were in- tended both to swell the asscts and to take the place of other bills discounted, which it was thought bestnot to let you see, as it might ex- cite your suspicion and pat you ona more inquisitive examination. “This, I believe, gives yon a general idea of the various methods pursued. Of course I have not gone into minute details, but have dealt in generalities. A volume might be written upon the subject, but my ability in that direction is very limited, and I trust that you will find this sufficient to show you how difti- cult it was for you or any one else to discover the true condition of the bank. “With sineere regrets for the part I took in deceiving you in the ubove matter, and with the assuranice that it was not with the petty desire to deceive you, but with adesire to carry out the instructions of my superior officer, feeling that it was my duty to do so, and finally having ouce been caught in the meshes and finding it impossible to extricate myself, I am, respectfully, &c.”” ee ee Shame Compelied Her to Suicide.

Instead of making an address from the car the President was taken to the opera house, where, being in- troduced, he said: “I greatly appreciate the value and importance of these manufacturing centers, which are now, fortunately for us, not characteristic of New England alone, but found west of the Ohio and of the Mississippi ard of the Missouri. I am one of those who believe that in a diversification of pursuits we | make most rapid increase in wealth and attain best social relations and developments. 1} would not introduce politics.

NOT VERY RESTFUL. When the presidential party arrived at Col. Estey's house they alighted and were welcomed by Mrs. Estey standing in the portico. The President, being introduced to the people by Col. Estey, said My fellow citizens: Gov. Proctor held out to me the suggestion that this trip to Vermont | would be a very restful one to me. [Laughter.} | He has about as little appreciation of what rest isasany man I know. [Laughter.) When I attended the centennial demonstration of the inauguration of Washington in New York I spent part of one day on the bridge of the Des- patch bowing to the fleet in the bay as we moved down to the battery aud the balance of the day shaking hands at the city hall, attend- ing a ball at night, ten hours the next day re- viewing a procession, with a banquet at night, 4s many hours the next day reviewing the civic procession, and when they released me from about 5 o'clock in the evening, I hurried to the Jersey City depot to takea train, searcely able to stand upon my feet. One of the gentlemen of the committee enid to me: “Well, Mr. President, I hope you have enjoyed these ‘three days of rest Laughter.)

The question of the differences between the Pacific const union and the general organization was the first subject taken up. The Pacific coast union, which has 800 brewers, can rejoin the national body on payment of the ussessments. The action of the president of the American Feder- ation of Labor and the executive committee of that body in refusing to carry out the reso- lutions of the Detroit meeting last December, which instructed them to discipline the Pacitic coast unicn, was severely condemned. v0 Polsoned by Unwholesome Food, Last Friday the family of Charles Wacker, living at Spring Hill, Ala., consisting of six members, were all poisoned by eating of spoiled fish. ‘Ine mother of the family died yes orday after terrible suffering.

Striking for Fresh Ar. Two hundred bootmakers struck work yes- terday in the big factory of L. Candee & Co. of New Haven because the superintendent or- dered the windows closed, claiming that the air damaged the material. The atmosphere in the shop was suffocating when work began at 7 o'clock and the men struck for fresh air. They waited on Labor Commissioner Hotchkiss and | ment of the cause of her action. Grief 20 reyed upon her mind that she did nét seem to Fespousible. In the afternoon a man named Kantz was arrested and locked up on the infor- mation furnished by the dying mother. She acensed Kantz of being the father of her babe. The young woman also stated she had often threatened to take her own and the little girl's life because Kantz had refused to marry her, as he promised. She saw him again Wednesday ng requested him to marry her, but be positively refused. She then concluded to take her own and the child's life. Elliott, speaking for the company, says that the Knights of Labor are trying to ‘run the shop ‘and that they do not propose to allow them.

I want kindly, but plainly, to invoke the attention of our democratic friends to their responsibility in this matter. President Cleveland, in # formal letter, } oints out clearly the inevitable results this policy. While he ‘was President, with a democratic House of Representatives in Congress, no such measure was proposed. President Harriso1 known toentertain the same opinions. Yet now, under strange leader this scheme to change the standard of vulue is pressed into our state canvass. I believe it is the result of a bargain between what in called “the national executive silver committee.” composed of representatives of the Rreat siiver mining corporations of the United Suates, with some of the leaders of the demo- cratic party, by which a portion of the profits of these corporations is to be invested in this Ohio canvas# to defeat the republican party, and especially “to down John Suerman’’ on the inwue o. the tree coinage of silver.

It ways: “The percentage of increase in the population of Canads during the last ten years has been Jess than 12—some overcrowded European countries have often done better—while the Percentage in the United States from 1880 to 1890 was 24.85. Inthe United States the gain by natural increase was 14.40 per cent, and the guin by immigration 10.45 per cent, so that our neighbors gained more by ex slone than we have by natural expansion and immigration both pu together. ‘acne in the population in the dominion during the lust ten years has been under 500,000. Yet, if the government returns are to be believed, we received during the decsde 850,000 settlers through immigration from Europe. In two years alone. 1883 and 1884, no fewer than 238,000 immigrants are said ‘to have come in. What has become of them all and of the nat- ural growth of the population in Canada itself, seeing that the apparent gain is only " 500,000? If the reader comes, as he ‘probably will, to the conclusion that the exodus has done it, let him ask himself why there should be such a wholesale fight of popu- lation from a lund like this. Does the phe- nomenon sustain the theoty that we are living under the best of all tradu policies? Tho ravest question for Canadians to cousider is ‘ow to keep the population from going out of the dominion after we have reared it, and edu- cated it, and provided it with all that borrowed money can buy or build. ‘The Empire (conservative), reterring to the consus, says: ““Canadian expectations,like thoxe in Great Britain aud the United States, ran ahead of realization, and onr census returns are marked Ly very much the same general characteristics as theirs were. ‘The populations of all three countries fall below the Agure which was estimated on the gain of the last de- cade, the proportionate increase not having been maintained. As there was disappoint- ment in Great Britain and: the United States ai the results there the same feeling may pre- vail in Canada, the general hope having been that we had turned the corner of 5,000,000." afi és A Dublin Newspuper Guarded by Police. ‘The office of the Dublin Freeman’s Journal is guarded by police. ‘The paper will appear to- day as « Parncilite organ, but on and after Sat- urday it will be published in the interests of | 8 the nationalists. An extraurdinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Freeman's Journal Com- any, limited, took place yesterday. The ob- Jretor the meeting was to consider the position which the directors have taken in respect of the division now existing between the national parties and whether there should be a change made in the constitution of the board. The Meeting was a stormy one and hot words were exchanged between the supporters of Mr. E. Dwyer Gray, son of the founder of the paper, who was desirous that the Freeman's Journai should no longer support Mr. Parnell, and the Present board of directors, who recently over- ruled Mr. Gray when he took his stand against his former triend. Finally a vote of censure was parsed by large majority, the directors | pa being blamed for the policy they had adopted in regard to Mr. Parnell. ‘It is expected they will tender their resignations, The Curability of the Inebriate. ‘From the North American Kev.ew. ‘The curability follows from the application | gre of certain general principles, the first of which vi is isolation and change of surroundings. The | LA drunkard must go into a quarantine, where all the external conditions of life will antagonize his disorder and assist nature to return to health. In a quarantine station or special asylum the diet, baths, exercise, medical study ant care, with all other means, can be applied with military exactness. Each special phase of disease and form of degeneration can be treated, from its particular symptoms, with Particular remedies. Nerve and brain rest and rentoration of all the o:ganic functional sctivi- ties can be obtained by the use of means under the care of the medical aman. Thue the drink impulse is overcome and dies away with the in- ng vigor of the mind and body. Like Hy. drunkeuness is cured, not by dra ut by building up th- body through: all the ave ues of nutri.ion, healthful cxercive, regulated mental and physical surroundings ‘4 proprinte drugs. ’ Drunkenuese must be Tecoguzed asa disease legally and the victim forced into conditiony where he ean live along the best sanitary lines af health; where medi- cal treatment aud coutiol can be exact and por- | Jormett fect, and where physiolojical and hygienic best sense can be applied. * * © The curability of the inebr.- ve is far more certain sban that o: the insane, The liberiy of both is equally dangerous. One is recognized; the othet is seldom restrajned until he becomes a criminal. ‘The momenta man becomes a drunkard he forfeits all rights to liberty and becomes a ward of the state and ould be controlied by it. It le den:e ignor- auce thut permits any one to destyay his life and property by drink on the sup; he is a tree moral agent. The inebriate is men- nd physically wick and needs the same heip as the insane, aud the question of care is stmply one of adequate means and remedies to Feach the disease. acca eS ‘The Opportunity That the Colleges Lost. From the Forum, Jn the early decades of the present century the predominance of olassical studies was not, indeed, unnatural. But canditions were chang- ing. James Wattand syoceeding inventors had inpugurated a revolution in industry morecom- plete, if less dramatic, than that effected in pol- itica by their contemporaries. Thousands of men were to be replaced by maghinory, new industries were to be crented, nations ‘to be brought closer tagether, the conditions af ex- istence to be ameliareted-—all by men con- scjous]y or unconsciausly studying and apply- ing science. Nowhere were these changes to operate more powerfully than in the United States. What would be the cffect on our edit- cation? Would the colleges realize their oppor- tunity and by co-operating ip this great mave~ Ment emphasize and strengthen their right to y . may.-AvGusT 28. 1891.

SREAMERY 7 Oldest! i Cheapest! Best! The Evening Star Is the OLDEsT and most firmly established newspaper pub lished in the District of Co lumbia, having won the high position it holds in the confi- dence of the people of Wash- ington by forty years of faith- ful and unswerving devotion to their interests, without regard jto any other influence or con- sideration whatsoever, THE STAR is the Larcest paper published in Washing- ton, with a general equipment and printing facilities three-fold greater and better than those of any other Washington paper; and, having the full Day Re- ports of both the New York Associated Press and the United Press, supplemented by an une- qualed service of Exclusive Spe- cial Dispatches from all promi- nent points in America and Eu- Tope, it prints more and fresher Telegraphic News than any other Washington paper can possibly supply, furnishing at the same time a greater amount and better quality of Local, Domestic and General Intelli- gence, and a larger quantity and higher grade of Original and Selected Literary Miscel- lany than any paper in the Dis- trict. Being delivered at the homes of regular subscribers for the trifling sum of ten cents per week, THE STAR is much the CHEAPEST paper published in the District, as well as the Best. THE STAR'S circulation in the City of Washington is more than three times larger than that of any other newspaper, and the number of its readers more than five times as many. As an advertising medium it there- fore stands without a competi- tor, whether either EXTENT or Quauiry of circulation is con- sidered. That the intelligent public thoroughly understands these facts and acts upon them jis conclusively shown by the steady and rapid growth of the paper’s business both in circula- tion and advertising patronage. Note This Point. THE STAR gives the exact figures of its circulation every week, and cheerfully opens its books and press and delivery Tooms to any person having in- terest in the correctness of its Statements, so that its patrons precisely how much and what kind of publicity they are getting when they buy space in its columns. PETE EEY THE STAR is the only paper in Washington that thus takes and few papers anywhere are willing to do it. This fact is more expressive than any words can be.
