Unique fn all appointments, the graduat- | ing exercises of the Bliss School of Elec- | tricity lust night were enjoyed to the full by all those who accepted the invitation to be present. Two trains of the ¥th street electric line were chartered, and the com- mencement took the form of a trolley ride, a novelty never before attempted in Wash- ington. All aglow with electricity and de orated with flags and filled with graduates ‘Takes a To Ride Easy “Ball-Bearing” Bicycle Shoes and guests, the cars ran back and forth Pratt Fasteners Hold Laces. from the power house to the northern - a terminus, to the wonderment of residents o> along the route and the great delight of the small boy. The exercises commenced at 7 o'clock at the power house, where the start was made, and continued until 11 o'clock. Four round trips were made, enlivened by music | furnished by a portion’ of the Mt. Pleasant Field Band. Refreshments were served to all the guests. Both trains were brilliant with incandes- s and electrical devices, the work tudents at the Institution. Hach fender was a network of fire, and stars and crosses served for headlights. Along the sides of the trains the words “Bliss School of Electricity’ burst forth in a blaze of many colored lights. ‘A unique form of time table and a rail- road ticket entitling the passenger to a seat on the train, were the invitations to this novel commencement. The time card, noting the attractions offered by the ex- cursion, among other things stated that all trains were provided with high-resistance, anti-telescoping devices, and fitted with shocking attachments and accommodations, the entire system lighted with natural gas, evolved by patent electric process, and there was guaranteed freedom from’ cind- ers, fire or smoke, except in case of short elreuit. Prof. Louis D. Bliss, principal of the school, the originator of the novel enter- tainment, took charge of the first trainload of guests, while Mr. T. J. Newton looked after the comfort of those in the train which followed. After the refreshments had been disposed of, diplomas were distributed by Prof. Bliss to the following graduates: Robert Callahan, jr., E. A. Weiss, W. W. Christ- mas, W. G. Smith, W. W. Maxwell, A.

Those folks—and there were many of them—vhe filed out of National Park at the beginning of the ninth Inning yester- day missed by an ave the most exciting portion of the closest game played on the home grow ds during the season. With the score 3 to 2 against them at the end of the eighth, Joyce's men gave a practical dem- onstration of the wisdom of the “never- say-die” policy, and, after all hope had seemingly fled, batted out four beautiful hits, scored three runs and won the game in a canter. It was great and unexpected work and the spectators literally went wild, such enthusiasm as prevailed not having been duplicated at the grounds for many a day. Maul, the same popular Smiling Al of old, made his reappearance in the center of the local diamond for the first time since early last season. He was greeted warmly as he took Fis place, and the applause con- tinued until the last Spider had succumbed. Such an exhibition’ of twirling as Maul gave yesterday is calculated to win games nine times out of ten, and {tt was noticed that he didn’t have occasion to once rub down that hitherto troublesome left wing. With Mercer, King, German and Maul, to say nothirg of the others, it would seem that Washirgton is well equipred with star pitching talent. It was a pitchers’ contest from start to finish, in which Cuppy had a little the bet- ter of it until the wind up, when Cart- wright led off with a three-bagger, and Rogers, De Montreville and Maul followed with hard raps. In all its details the game was unusually even. Washington scored one run in the first ona e on balls, en cut and a hit, and added another in the sixth on Selbach's hit to left, which luckily bounded over the fenc Cleveland led off with two in the first and arother in the second, and thus mat- ters stood until the eventful ninth. Aft Cartwright bad landed cn third, McGuire went out from second to first, but the next man, Rogers, sent a corking single to cen- ter and Certwright crossed the plate with the winning run amid wild cheering. When De Montreville followed with a Lit to left, which bounded over Burkett's left shou! der, and the bases were cleared, the en- thusiasm knew no bounds, for both runners trotted home. In Cleveland’s half matters looked rather serious. After Joyce had made a credita- ble catch of McGarr’s high fy, O'Connor, who batted in place of Cuppy, sent a hot one to De Montreville, which almost dis- abled the short-stop’s left arm, and the runner was sefe. Burkett mede his fourth hit of the game—a drive down the alley which struck Maul squarely, and two Spi- ders were on bases. They crawled up one each when McKean went out on an easy grounder to first. Cupid Childs was un- equal to the cccasion, and ended the game with a high fly to De Montreville. Bou- quets, in the shape of ccmpliments, were tcssed at Maul from all sides as he re- Ured to the dressing room. In the seventh the visitors were retired on four pitched balls, ard in the following inning the rrajority of the spectators seem- ed to think that Maul really struck out the three men who advanced to the plate. Selbach’s stop of McGarr’s hit in the sixth and his lightning throw to second in time to catch the runner, as well as Mc- Aleer’s circus catch of a ball from De Mon- treville’s bat in the seventh, are deserving of especia! mention. Burkett secured four of Cleveland's nine hits, while Selbach, Cartwright, Rogers and De Montreville each got a brace for Waskington, and Brown and Maul ore aplece. De Montre- ville was in the game at al] times. Umpire Emslie did generally satisfactory work, al- though his popularity with the majority of the spectators might have been greater.

From the New York World, today. When the Chicagos came along and took their positions for practice, Fred Pfefler was seen in a Chicago uniform in his old Position at second base. There had been some talk of Fred going back to his cld love, but there had been no intimatian that the deal was being consummated. So there was much astonishment, which gave way to expressions of satisfaction that the great player had found a berth in the club with which he scored his greatest success. Pfeffer played very nicely yesterday, ac- cepting his chances cleanly. “At the bat he was not very prominent, although {f Bill Clark had not made a splendid stop Af his terrific low Hner in the eighth Inning the course of the game might have changed disastrously. To Play for a Tro; The teams rom the Light Infantry and Treasury Department will play an exhibi- tion game of ball tomorrow on the joint excursion of the Knights of Pythias of the District of Columbia to Marshall Hall. The two teams will Lave out their strongest nines, and will play for a championship trophy offered by M. Goldsmith & Sons. The trophy is very handsome, and will stimulate both teams to put forth their best efforts. A number of Departmental League pleyers will accompany the knights down the river, and the adherents of both tearas will be on hand to cheer on their favorites. Junior Teams, The Atlenta Stars, formerly the Young Atlantas, would like to hear from any team in the District fourteen years and under. ‘They will play the De Montrevilles the 6th of June. Address all qhallenges to Capt. C. Gackermen, 818 4.street southwest. In a loosely played game Decoration day the De Montrevilles defeated the cham- pion team of Southwest Washington, the American Stars, by 25 t0 9. The feature of the game was the pitching of Schlerf, he striking out ten men of the American Stars. The winning team would like to hear from teams not over fourteen. Ad- dress H.

Umpire Emslie has anything but a weak voice. Even though there may be a runner on first, Emslie invariably leaves his ficld- Ing position and takes a stand hehind the pat, after three balls and two strikes have been called, in order to better judge the deciding throw. In the first inning Burkett scored from first on a high fly_back of the initial bag that fell between Joyce and Lrsh. ‘or deliberation in movement the pro- verbially slow snail ig a cyclone in com- parison with Pitcher Cuppy. He was pro- vokingly dilatory yesterday, and the spec- tators en masse conducted a count of each . “One,” “two,” “three, was shouted in cadence and continued through “twelve,” when the ball was delivered. Cuppy merely smiled at the unique “Jolly” and struck out two men in succession. Then the count ceased. “This ain't Boston,”. promptly explained ‘an occupant of the bleachers when Tebeau attempted to kick on a decision. Many of the fans yesterday discussed the wisdcm of retiring Abbey in favor of Lush. Brown seems to be very much in the game, with the stick, in the fleld and on the bases. De Montreville also attended to almost everything that went his way Zesterday and ‘threw remarkably well to rst. Several times Maul worked his old trick of quickly delivering the ball and securing a strike at a time when the batter was not on the alert. Cuppy’s feet are pecullarly placed when the twirler goes to the bat. he hits it I bet he runs toward third,” shouted a man in the stand after- three balls and two strikes had been called. The effect was disastrous, for Cuppy struck out. Cuppy displayed great speed after he ence got started. At one time when thou sands were shouting “Oh, pitch the hall, big Chief Zimmer quietly remarked: “There's a man back here who wants you to pltch the ball, Cuppy.” Every time “Cupid” Childs went to bat @ persistent spectator shouted to Maul, “Be easy on him, Al, he's on his way to the farm, you know. Zimmer and those near him in the stand kept up a running exchange of repartee throughout the game. After striking out in the ninth, Zimmer placed his bat in the canvas bag on the supposition that the game was practically over. Cy Young, thinking the action bad luck, hastily shook the wagon tongue out. ‘The hocdoo, however, had taken effect and Washington won out. Weferw’ Return to Georgetown. Bernard F. Wefers was given a royal re- ception Sunday afternoon upon his return to Georgetown College. The college bells were rung and several guns shot off. There was plenty of music, and the Glee Club came in for a good share. The jollity wound up with a banquet in the refectory. Wefers Was the lion of the hour, though the other members of the team were well received. Lavigne Defeated Burge. “Kid” Lavigne fought “Dick”?

The companies marched from their respective schools to the point of rendezvous, 13th street and New York avenue northwest, shortly before 5 o'clock, and from there, headed by thc Fourth Artillery Band, proceeded, by way of H street, 6th street and Penn avenue, to the White Lot. After a short rest on the roadway, the regiment entered the ellipse, amid the ap- plause of an assemblage that completely surrounded the expanse of green.

A Moliere Comedy. = made ylvania Saturday evening the French classes of National Park Seminary, at Forest Glen, gave a production of “Le Bourgeois Gentil- homme.” The play, one of Moliere’s most difficult comedies, is an ambitious one to be attempted by amateurs, especially by school girls, but Saturday’s production was highly creditable, and evinced considerable dramatic talent in the young ladies of the cast, much time and study spent in prepa- ration, and excellent training on the part of their instructors. The accent was ex- traordinarily good, and the acting of Misses Winship, Archer, Fairlamb, Griffin, Gaillard and Tebbs deserves especial men- tion and elicited much applause, as did also the love scene in the fourth act. The affair was attended by many Washingto- nians, as well as by the young ladies of the seminary and their friends who are with them for commencement. —_—._—_ Life Savers Laid Of.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: CURES §¢ROFULA, The park commission of the city BLOOD POISON. quested, in the name of safety, comfort and beauty, to trim the shade trees up high | above the pavements. The Cimmerian 7 darkness caused by the low-hanging i i branches forces the pedestrian at night 4 1! to the middle of the street for safety, is re- where now, alas, he is lable to be run over by the noiseless bicycle. In Euro- pean cities the trees are trimmed up thir- ty, forty and fifty feet overhead, throwing the strength of the tree into a dense wid spread foliage at the top, thereby aiiord- ing not only a grateful shade, but beau- tiful perspective views, and recuring safety to hapless pedestrians against molestation and sudden death! Try this, city fathers, and receive the benedictions of many citi zens. M. CURES GANCER, ECZEMA, TETTER. S Blo ge Col. Kline's Detail. Lieut. Col.
