Meakin had a mote in his eye, or mayhap it was a beam. yesterday, and he couldn't see the tweive inches square of rubber in line with | him and Farrell. It was a most irritating sort ofa mote. Just when one had come to the | concliMion that it had disappeared, presto, it was there again. Consequently he pitched an in-and-out game. At timesit was very, very good and at other times it was like the bad boy in the rhymes—it was very, very bad. Up to| the fifth inning not a Beaneater had le al safe hit. His delivery was untouchable. But he had given four bases on balls and one bad resulted inarun. True, Col. Meakin wasn’t wholly to biame for that. Senator Mulvey had materially contributed by a very veliow muff. After the fifth inning Col. Meakis delivery was touched up, as onr Virgin: say, “right smart.” This was largely because Lhe was constantly getting himself in» hole. He would give a batwman several bad balls, and | of course had to give several good balls after- | ward toeseape the penalty. ‘The wily Bean- | enters let the bad balla_go and smote the good ones hipand thigh. Had the good and bad been served in hash. instead of in course, bet- ter results might have been obtained. As it was, the visitors politely refused the soup and chose the jish—and how they did enjoy their meal! ‘To come right down toplain, every-day, bald- headed facts, about 3,500 persons saw the Bos- ton players walk away with a game they had no business with, either from their bits or the local men’s errors. ‘This 1s about how the catastrophe happened: In the third ining Bennett was made the pres- ent of bis first on four very lurid balls. and Carroll were treated likewise. One man was out. With the bases fuil and Duffy at the bat it looked as though the game would be won right there. “They'll get_s million.”* said one spectator confidently. Well, they did—all but the ciphers. But, then, they're nothing to speak of. Daffy drove a regular “grass cutter” at Mul Tt was one of those hot balls that seem to have a trail of white fire. Mulvey threw out his left hand and stopped it and put it on his base, forcing out Long. Bennett was too near home to catch and he tried for Duffy at first. But the time consumed in making the play at third allowed Duffy to reach the base. McCarthy, the next batsman, however, forced him at sec- ond ona hit to Sullivan, and the Washingtons had emerged from a very small hole. S pd happened in the ly worse. Meanwhile the local team had beer going out in stair-step order. Ben- | nett again took first on balls, and was sacrificed to second. Long's int past Sullivan sent him to | third and around the turn for home.

Just then a sparrow fluttered over the field. ita hoodoo?” “No, that’s a base-hit 5] ."" And so it proved, anda prettier single to right was never made, and the tieing run came in. Thereupon the bleachers arose as one man and howled. It was their last chance. Larkin was given a base, but Farrell's sharp drive bounded well for Long, and the side was out. Whoever said anything about the seventh being lucky? “Twas then that the Washingtons had their Waterloo, Bull Run, Austerlitz all rolled into one. As usual it opened with a base on balls, only Bennett did not get it this tim It was his partner, Nichols. Two honest singles to left, promptly fielded in, filled the bases. Then Duffy drove such a hot one at Meakin that it sizzled as it went through the air. Some one bad remarked during the game that Meakin was slow, but he didn't show it in the way he got out of the path of that rifle shot, It went down over second and two ranscamein. Mi Carthy was given his base. Then Nash sent in two more runs by a drive to left and McCarthy scored on Tucker's hit to Wise. Nash tried to steal third on it, but ran so far out the line to avoid being caught that he was declared out. In the next Bennett scored on a single and Long's hit past Hoy. There ended the run getting. Mulvey opened the seventh very pro- pitiously with a single, but Sullivan popped up & foul and Meakin bit to Lowe, who touched Mulvey out on the lines and threw Jouett out at first. Another effort was made in the ninth; Larkin took first on balls, but Farrell went out on a liner to Nichols, who doubled Larkin up at first, and Mulvey closed the game with a fly to Du ‘The visitors plaved a brilliant game, far dif- ferent from the one they liad been exhibiting at Baltimore, according to the best reports. They turned apparently safe hits into outs and took advantage of every chance, and they had a lot of them. Four of their runs were made by those who had been given their bases, one on a passed bull and one on a wild throw. The other three they came honestly by. On the other hand, the Washingtons had no right or title to the three they made. However, Meal temporary attack of strabismus will soon pass and he will be as effective as ever. Accidents will happen and uext time they may happen to the other side. Wise, oO WASHINGTON. | s.

At no time in the history of New York city have tere been so many deaths from pneumonia as now. The official figures show that nearly twice as many deaths from this cause are occurring than for the last five years. This is. something terrible. Dr. Joun T. Nagle, registrar of vital statistics, Says that this increase is due to the influence of grip. He says that grip may be called epidemic | just now and that in the majority of cases grip is | a vital, coutributing cause to pneumonia and all | dangerous pulmonary troubles. At this time of | tue year when we are changing over from winter to spring, there ts always a low order of vitalit | reaction from the strains of the season. The | blood does not flow so full nor rapidiy; the strength isless. For this reason grip has a much better chance than at any other season.

S. Nichols to have perjured himself in testimony of the 5th “A. B. CRANE, “Observer of the Weather Bureau.” ‘The above telegram came to Assistant Attor- ney General Colby this morning, and as it had been paid for he had to receive it. For several | painful seconds Gen. Colby stared at the teie- : gram while a long vista of weather bureau in- j ations opened before him leading toa dreary waste of thousands of pages of evidence | to be read. Col. Colby, however, has long been noted for his conscientious attention to what- jever he has on band and he therefore tele~ | graphed Crane to send on his evidence. It wil of | ordered to do so by the bureau. Nichols ex- plained by saying that he had never received | the telegram, for the renson that the company were in the habit of sending these messages to his house, but in this case had failed to do so, | and the operator had told him that no effort ‘had been made in that direction, This testi- mony of Nichols is probably the cause of Crane's telegram of today. If all the new charges which are springing up are to be investigated Gen. Colby may as well give up allidea of arming self with a bucket of bait and a flask and going fishing this «ummer, It would seem that the fever for making charges has spread from one end of the weather bureau to the other. It isa well- known fact that whenever a riot occurs if A hax a grudge against B he takes that oppor- tunity to go around the corner and fill B's an- atomy with lead slugs, This principle is being | fuily worked oat in the wenther bureau, and if after this investigation business in finished u there are two men in the whole affair whoxpea to euch other it will be a miracle past explana- tion. ‘THE EXPERT COMPILERS. During the investigation, it will be remem- bered, the question of the expert compilers appointed by the Secretary has come in for a Jarge share of attention, and the question arose whether under the civil service rules the Secre- tary had the power to make these appoint- ments, The question was submitted to the Attorney General for decision, and yesterda he sent his report to Secretary Morton. Ti ee draws attention to the fuct that “sci | tific or professional experts” are exempte j ftom the civil service rules. he Attorney |-Genera!, therefore, states that it is simply a question of whether these compilers were *‘ex- perts” or not, and, as that isa question of fact “aud not ot law, be is vnuble to answer the question axked,’ bis department veing limited | to questions of law. | PUUSSELL AND PERRY.

Yesterd: in the case. Among this correspondence re- Inting to the Perry case an interesting docu- ment is the report of the inspector sent down to Palestine to investigate Mr. Perry and bis doings, ‘This report is dated February 10, 1893. Among the things which it says is: “The station |isconducted with the minimum amoant of | work.” ‘The report then goes on to tell of the | thing# neglected and «peaks of the fact that, j although 12.000 newspaper clippings had been received in regard to the work at different stations, not one of these was in regard to the Palestine station.
