Kas na, § NPAT QULAUMIALE KEEP THE FIRES GOING A Simple Way to Prevent Small Evils From Growing to Maturity. Don’t let the fire go out. Winter is gone, to be sure, but there are many days in spring when the winds are raw and cbill, and the house would bea veritable tomb without a fire. Keep up the vital fire in your body. Look out for your digestion and take prompt heed of any departure fiom a state of health. A vagabond current of air may carry the secds of pneumonia and bronchitis, but it bas no terrors for a system that has beer fortified withe Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky. ‘This medicinal stimulant ‘prevents little colds from becoming big ones. It is a tonle and appetizer, warming the body through and through, and promoting a healthy secretion of the gastric fluids. It keeps out cold because it checks undue waste, al is a general strengthener. Long experience has taught the doctors that the colds so general in the uncertain spring time are best overcome by a reliable stimulant. Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky is in every thrifty housekeeper’s medicine chest. With all the vigilance in the world, it is next to impossible to keep clear of cold-producing agencies. Duffy's Pure Malt averts all danger. Be sure, however, that no druggist or grocer gives you something called “just as good.” Insist upon having the best, the genuine, the only medicinal whisky in the market. Don’t Miss This. .

The Bostons outbatted and outfielded the Washingtons yesterday at Boston two to one, yet so fortunate were the visitors with their hits that they were beaten only two runs, and these were secured on rank er- rors by Nicholson and Abbey. The Bos- tons made sixteen hits and three errors, and the Washingtons nine hits and six er- rors. Only a heavy run of luck kept the visitors from a crushing defeat. As it was they made a very pretty contest of it for seven innings. The Washingtons do not seem to have the drawing power at Bos- ton that they had in former years—in 'S3, when Jim O'Rourke was manager, for in- stance. Only about 3,000 saw yesterday's game. A postponed game will be played off at Boston today. Everyone hopes that luck will continue. Washington’s good Score: WASHINGTON.

First Game in the Departmental League to Be Played Tomorrow. At the meeting of the officers and man- agers of the Departmental Base Ball League, held at the city post effice last night, it was decided not to change the schedule by shortening it, and the original schedule, as adopted at a league meeting two weeks ago, will be played out this sea- son. The two postponeinents under the old schedule will make the opening game of the league, which takes place at Na- tional Park tomorrow, be between the team from the Treasury Department and the Army and Navy nine. After some other business had been transacted, Mr. John F. Wilkins was elected official scorer of the league. A resolution was also passed by the meeting thanking those who had so kindly volunteered their services at the re- cent concert in benefit of the league, and by which quite a neat sum was rewlized toward defraying the incidental expenses of the season. The schedule of games, all of which will be played at National Park, for the month of May, beginning with the game temor- row, is as follows: May 4, Army and Navy—Treasary Depart- ment. May 6, Pension Office—Post Office Depart- ment. May 7, Government Printing Office—Dis- trict Commissioners. May 8, Bureau of Engraving and Printing —City Post Office. M Washington Light Infantry—Army and Navy. May 10, Office. May 11, Post Office Department—Govern- ment Printing Office. May 13, District Commissioners—City Post Office. May 14, Bureau of Engraving and Print- ing—Army and Navy. May 15, Washington Light Infantry— Treasury Department. May 16, Pension Office--Government Print- ing Oftice. May 17, Post Office Department—District Com loners. May 18, Washington Light Infantry— Bureau of Engraving and Printing. May 20, Pension Oflice—City Post Cffice.

The Washington & ball club return nome on the 28th of May, and t mental League games to be pla tional Park take a jump to June the Washington team again zo As the old schedule, the one now in effe is a somewhat long one, some of the £ y have to be played at Capitol 1 and this will be decided by the raan- nt at a later meeting. The Game Tomorrow. Treasury Depariment—Pension The row will parade for two hours before the two clubs who are to play tomor- game in tally-ho coach with music, driv- ing directly to the park for the game. The Treasury Department team is not the strongest which the management of that club has in view for the coming s Several of the best players are ill ju the present time, including Eddie Mills, their most efficient pitcher, who ran a nail in his foot yesterday, and so will be in- capacitated for pla. ig for several days to come. The team is captained by Lawrence ©, Murray and managed by Dr. G. B. Young, both of whom have had consider- able experience in this line. Nicols and Sullivan will be the battery for the Treas- ury Department team, and Dolan and Mc- Manaway will occupy those positions for the Army and Navy Club. The Treasury boys repose plenty of confidence in Nichols, who is speedy, and at the same time steady, using his head with great effect when there are men on bases. Dolan, however, who is a left-handed man, is probably just as speedy, and has the advantage of possess- ing wide curves and being able to control them. The Army and Navy team is about as strong now as It ever will be this sea- son, and Manager Quinn and Capt. Dolan are quite satisfied with the pick which they have made for this season’s representation in the league. A good many sure and heavy batters are on’ the team, while their average in flelding is exceptionally good, and the game tomorrow will give them a chance to show off both qualities, for the Treasury lads are not going to stand quietly by and see the game go the other way without interposing some pretty strong efforts to stop it. The following is the list of the players on both teams and the positions which they will occupy in tomorrow’s game: Army and Treasury Navy. Position. Department. McManaway -catcher.

The biggest crowd in the local history of the gi ane ‘aw the Giants beat the Phillies yesterday at Philadelphia. JEvery available inch of foom on the, spacious grounds was taken up by the enorniots multitude. With the bases full, Doyle Qoped up a little fly to Sullivan, who fumbled it, and then threw it away over first bagranetting four runs. The balance of the game was casy for New York. Yesterday's game af/Pittsburg was nip and tuck throughout.rafittsburg secured a lead in the seventh ingtag, but the visitors evened matters by knocking Killen out of the box and tieing tK¥ Score. Clingman’s wild throw and Lattam’s timely three- bagger in the twelfth.won the game for Cincinnati. Pag There was a wonderfubfinish at Scranton yesterday. Rochester !¥4s three ahead in the tenth inning, and“Scranton’s best two batters were out. Tyo went to first on errors, by Rochester’s shortstop and second basemen, and one got a-hase on !alls, fill- ing the bases. A run was forced by an- other base on balls. Delaney was substi- tuted for T. Johnson, ard sent a clean two- bagger down the left foul line, scoring three more runs, and winning the game. The season opened at Chicago yesterday with an exciting ten-inning contest before & crowd of 6,000. The visitors took the lead at the start, bunching their hits in the first and third. The Colts tied in the ninth, only to lose the tenth on Dahlen’s error and Shugart’s hit. A feature of the game was a triple play executed by Danien, Stewart and Anson. Eddy Talcott, ex-treasurer of the New York base ball team, yesterday at Philadel- phia presented a diamond pin and gold- headed cane to Andy Freeman, the presi- dent-of the New York base ball ‘club. In the Light-Weight Class. Joan Van Heet, the well-known light- weight pugilist of New York, has an- nounced that he is ready to meet any man in the world whose weight does not exceed 122 to 126 pounds. Mr. Van Heet, in com- pany with other well-known pugilists, will appear at Dan Henry's Theater, Alexan- drie, Va.,in a few weeks. Close Race on the Island. The decision of the judges in the first race at the Alexander Island track yester- day, made after several minutes’ consider- ation, gave no little dissatisfaction. In the first place, the majority of those present believed that Elmstone, at 9 to 10, and the 40 to 1 shot, Prince Klamath, made a dead heat of it, and were not a little surprised when the judges gave the race to the fa- vorite. They were still more surprised when the men in the stand placed Mamie R., the third horse by two lengths, back of Reynard. Despite the threatening weather, there was a fairly large crowd present, and thir- teen bookmakers weighed in. The track was heavy and holding. Two favorites, two second choices and two outsiders won, as follows: Elmstone, 9 to 10; Rienzi, 15 to 1; Despatch, $ to 1; Bob, 8’ to 5; Galloping King, 1 to 3, and ‘Benjamin, 5 to 2 Athletic Officials Chosen. The executive committee of the Inter- collegiate Athletic Assoctation, for the an- nual meeti to be held May 24 and 25, have selected W. B. Curtis, N. Y. A. C., referee, and J. E. Sullivan, BS J. A. C.; 8. B. Weeks, N. ¥. A. C., and ©. T. Matthew- son, U. A C., judges. Outing Ciub Election. The annual election of officers of the Washington Outing Club was held last evening at the club house with the follow- ing result: President, C. M. Park; vice president, Harry King; treasurer, C. H. Reizenstein; recording secretary, Nat Weyl; financial secretary, George Strauss; cap- tain, C. Ludwig; leutenant, Clint Davis; directors, H. Rothschild, B. Hirsch, C. E.

Fit- teen new active members were elected and the applications of élght!others received and read for the first time. A committee, consisting of Messrs. H. Weyl, C. Ludwig, H. Rothschild, L. Hirsch) and M. Oppen- heimer, was appointed to!take charge of arrangements for the annual excursion of the club, which will be given to Marshall Hall, the date selected being June 24. H. Weyl is chairman and C. Ludwig secretary of this committee. Status of Racing in’ New York. As telegraphed to The Star from Albany yesterday, the Gray racing bill, the Wilds anti-pool seHing bill and the judiciary committee's . bill, defining a tax on racing assogiations were passed by the New York senate, and now go to the governor for his signature. The other Wilds bill against pool selling is already there. By the combined provisions of the three bills horse racing is allowed under the supervision of a commission of three mem- bers, to be appointed by the governor, to hold office for five years, races to be run under the rules of the Jockey Club or Na- tional Steeplechase Association. Pool séll- ing is absolutely forbidden, and unrecorded bets or wagers between private individuals are the only things in that line allowed. ‘The tax on racing associations allowed to operate is to be levied upon the gross re- ceipts, and before obtaining a certificate full payment of capital stock must be cer- tifed to. The trotting associations are en- titled to all the privileges of the acts. Georgetown Will Play. The permission which the Georgetown nine requested of the faculty to compete in Philadelphia on Monday has been grant- ed, and the crack Washington team will go over and cross bats with the university on that, date. English Comment on Harry Reed. The London Evening Standard, comment- ing upon the racing at Newmarket yester- day, says: . ‘Harry Reed’s appearance in the Peel stakes was a surp! , as it was thov he was being reserved for the Jubiice stakes,” John Porter of King’s Cleer, a vete Snglish horseman, was a most in ator of the saddling of Harry deserib: Reed as we: out of clot id he was not be ed s’ good thing Porter y with as! lengths’ but, though ridden out, S Reed added art, sh in the tir have .o improve consid form in order to have any cha npton Park.

Sporting ys: “For the Peel handi- cap Harry Reed made his debut in Jng- land. Though well backed and though he got well ay, he was completely spun out 300 yards from home. That Harry Reed will be able to win races here we have not the slightest doubt, but our friends from the other side must not ex- ct that they can carry all before them they brought off a couple of coups ‘ mod te company. “Mr. Croker’s Montauk, who was very heavily supported for the Newmarket two- year-old plate, is neatly framed and mus- cular, and though he was_beaten, we e: pect to see him winia raee before long.” The Sportsman says: Harry Reed got away with a long Hea but the weight stopped him, 2 Meeting of the Potomac Wheelmen. The Potomac Wheelfen entertained their friends at the club:rooms, 909 8th street southeast, Monday evening’ with a sympo- sium which will long be remembered by the participants. The ciub, now three years old, has xty members, all enthusiastic cy- clists. Rain prevented the races Tues- day afternoon and they were set for Fri- May 0 p.m., on Hamilton near aabeth's! The program ted of vocal and instru- mental music and ai bountiful repast. The Washington Banjo Quartet, Clarence Howell, C. P. Greene, Frank Howell and John R. Helden, scored a hit, and Paul Carr, Frank Hawkins, Horace Fryer, W. loughby Withers and William Esputa ren- ered excellent selections. Those present were Messrs. Robey, Ober, Green, Fryer, Royce, Burr, Weiss,’ Wilson, Sheed, John- son, Simes,’ Hutchinson, Hoiland,’ Mont- gomery and Grace. The success of the en- tertainment was largely due to the efforts of the committee consisting of Messrs.Shoe- maker, Ober, Vanhorn, Buckler, Montgom- ery and Greene. Butterworth to Pitch, A telegram from New Haven says that the captain of the Yale team is very gloomy over the condition of his pltchers. Car- ter’s arm is in a very bad condition, and Trudeau is practically worn out. Frank Butterworth will probably be tried against Andover tomorrow. If the youngsters knock him out of the box Capt. Rustin will | put Ben. Davis in. z Tom Brown Comes to Terms. ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 3.—A telegram from Manager Buckenburg of the Browns brings information that Tom Brown has finally agreed to play center field for the Browns. Hogan has either been “farmed” to In- dianapolis or else reieased to that club. Tom will join the club at Cincinnati Sun- day, and will make his first appearance on the home grounds in Monday’s game against the Bostons. Americans Snid to Have Lost Heavily. LON , May 3.—The Pall Mall Gazette, referring to the racing yesterday at Ne market, says: “Yesterday the feature at Newmarket was the definite check of the Americans’ victorious career. The great- est things were expected of Montauk, who is entered for the derby and St. Leger of 1896. All the money won by the American horsemen on Eau Gallle and Banquet, amounting to near $30,000, was put on Mentauk at 6 to 4 or at even more ex- travagant odds. The opposition to M tauk must have surprised Mr. Richard Croker. The bookmakers were ready to Wager any amount against the horse. One petahoweyers was $10,000 to $5,000 on Mon- tauk.” gee In Defense of Half-Day Schools. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In reply to the inquiry of Taxpayer No. 1, permit me to say that I did not intend to indorse the superintendent’s conclusions re- garding half-day schools; in fact, I heartily disagree with his conclusions and indorse all that Taxpayer No. 1 says. I simply submitted the proposition—gener- ally and without reference to the value or desirability of half-day schools—whether it 1s better to rob 50 per cent of the pupils or 6 per cent. Children need not necessarily spend their time on the streets nor become a danger to society; but, on the contrary, could advan- tageously be studying their lessons at home, in the daylight, instead of at night, with injury to their eyesight. Outdoor exercise, before or after prepar- ing lessons, is far more beneficial to the pupil than being crowded intoga room with fifty other children, and with a teacher whose patience has become exhausted and is therefore unable to give “that care, per- sonal attention and: intelligently adjusted help” which the pupil at the time needs, and which the superintendent says the teacher should give. I believe that the child when receiving its first instruction—when it is first being taught to learn, study and reason—should have the best possible teachers, in order that it may be started right in its pursuit of knowledge. To my mind this is far more Important than any other consideration, because the child in all subsequent years will follow along the lines laid down by its first instructor. Certain fules, ways or methods of think- ing and reasoning, with which the child is imbued during its first years at school, will be pursued by it later in spite of all’ that can be done to eradicate them, so impres- slonable is the young mind. Children in the lower grades have to be interested, entertained, and not every grad- uate of the Normal School possesser the talent and tact necessary to keep the proper attention of the children. The faculty of imparting to others the knowledge possessed by one is not acquired merely by taking the prescribed course of study in the Normal School. A teacher selected for the primary schools should therefore have that tact or talent and that understanding of children which will enable him or her to hold the child’s attention, and should be capable of conveying to the mind of the child the in- formation possessed by the teacher, and also the proper method of thinking and reason- ing for itself. TAXPAYER NO. 2. eas Armenian Life and Folk Lore. At the last meeting of the Business Wo- man’s Club Miss Alice Fletcher, an honor- ary member, took for the subject of a talk to the members “Armenian Life and Folk Lore,” and began by speaking of the start lng revelations of the orient which a causing us now to read backward, and so to find whence comes our inheritance in culture, religion and art.

The supreme court of appeals cf Vir- ginia refused a writ of error in the case of Charles Morganfield, alias Morgan, the Aquia creek train robber, and the judgment of the Stafford county court stands. Mor- ganfield must go to the penitentiary. Now that his case has been finally disposed of, it is expected that Morganfleld’s accom- plice, Searcy, will be tried without delay. His case was postponed to await the result of Morganfield’s appeal, so that in the event the latter was given a new trial, Searcy, not having been convicted, could tay against him. THE SHAKERS’ IDEAS OF MEDICINE, Nowadays when a man goes to his doctor he is usually told that be has some unheard-of discase with a long name, and when he leaves the office he does not know whether it is St. Vitus Dance or consumption that is gradually undermining his health, It is, therefore, refreshipg to talk with the Shakers, for their very simplicity commands conf- dence and respect, and we have the further satisfac- tion of knowing that they have devoted themselves to the study of disease and its cure for more than a hundred years. ‘The venerable old min whom the writer saw was only too glad'to discuss his pet subject. He said that, strange as it might seem, very few doctors realized that three-quarters of the most prevalent diseases were all attributable to faulty digestion.
