It is evident that the Washington Base BaH Club is yet in the rut, with the earn- estly-preyed-for winning streak a consid- erable distance in the future. Joyce’s men dropped their third straight game to Cleveland yesterday, and that, too, after batting the slow-moving Cuppy harder than the delivery of Lester German was hit by the Spiders. It was the same old story; no attempt at scientific play when such would have undoubtedly scored runs. Four- teen men were left on bases, and several of them would have crossed the plate had the men at bat attempted to sacrifice in- stead of lining ont the ball into the fleld- ers’ hands. Washington started the run getting in the second inning, but Cleveland awoke in the third and kept right on until a dozen runs had beon tallied and the result was no longer in doubt.

Some lively tennis was developed at the Longwood tennis courts yesterday by the players in the cup and handicap tourna- ments, The match of the morning was between Paret and Lee Ware, the latter winning as follows: 7-5, 6-4, 6-0. In the Stevens-Lee match, Stevens used his forearia stroke. The first act was very close, nearly every game being duce. Lee put up a strong game, making 40 returns of the ball in one game. Stevens won the match 68, 2-6, 6-3, 6-0. Champion Fred Hovey had quite a scare yesterday afternoon in his game with Wm. K. Shaw of Yale, in the second round of the cup tournaanent. When only four sets were played Shaw managed to pull off first and gave Hovey a tussle in the third. Hovey plays young Leo Ware today in the third round. The summary in the morning game.

LIVBRPOOL, July 23.—Lord Derby's three-year-old Canterbury Pilgrim won the Liverpool cup today. Lord William Beres- ford’s Paris II was second, and Mr. J. Wallace’s Speck third. Mr. Richard Crok- er’s Santa Anita was not placed. Croker and his friends suffered a severe disappointment in the result of the race. The Americans had been planning a big coup for this race, and Mr. Croker, it is sald, fully expected that Santa Anita would win, even against a field containing such @ crack as the three-year-old Canterbury Pilgrim, and enable him to make good all the lusses ami expenses of his stable here. There were eight starters.

The game will take place at Na- tional Park, the Departmental League hav- ing given up the date to the insurance men, ard as the rivalry between the two branches of the house is very great, an ex- citing game is looked for. The Washington nine will line up as follows: Bowes, pitcher; O'Leary, catcher; Ficklen, short stop; Rou- lette, first base; Hibbert, second base; Hub- bell, third base; Fellheimer, left field; Care, center field, and Broyles, right field. Ad- mission will be free, and as the game last year Closed with a score of 0 to 49 in favor of Baltimore, the Washington boys will do their best to wipe out the memory of last year’s game and make a new record. Meher and Choynski. SAN FRANCISCO, July 23—®eter Ma- her has about concluded that he cannot arrange a match with Joe Choynski in this city. His manager, Connelly, says that the National Club has about given up hope of securing a permit, and unless some of the clubs that are in a position to hold an exhibition are willing to come to the front with a good offer very soon, Maher will be off for New York. Washington Rond Club Election. Officers as follows were elected last evening at a meeting of the Washington Road Club: L. B. Graves, president; A. Gensler, vice president; C. H. Cook, secre- tary, and A. W. Lecke, second lieutenant. After a lively debate the colors of the club were changed from claret and gold to Yale blue and white. Registered a Century.

When the game was sus- pended for lunch Haverford had scored ¥6 runs for two wickets. ‘The Haverfords were all out for 152 runs. See DUBUS’ DRIVE. The Famous Exenpe of Gambetta After Hix Voynge in a Balloon. From the Savannah News. M. Dubus, who was Marle of Epeneuse, Oise, in 1570, has just died at Cleremont, aged seventy-two. Who was Dubus? Out- side of our small and respected French col- ony here, we may safely say that few of us know. And yet his name is bound to be recorded in history and to remain there until the records of the “Terrible Year" are lost and forgotten. He was the man who saved Gambetta from falling into the hands of the Prussians during the Franco-Gernan war. The’ story 1s simple enough, but its very simplicity serves to teach sound citizens of every country the priceless value of pa- triotism. On the 8th of October, 1870, tak- Ing advantage of a favorable wind. Gam- betta, accompanied by Spuller, left Par! in a balloon, intending to reach Tours. After sailing in the air at a comparatively slow rate the balloon drifted toward north. The Prussians noticed it, gave chase, and fired at it furiously. It was hit several times, but the holes made in it by the bullets caused only a slight escape of gas. After some little time, however, the leaks began to tell, and the balloon began to descend slowly. The famous travelers distinctly heard the hoarse cheers of the enemy, who imagined that their long chase was coming to an end, and that they were about to congratulate themselves on their capture. But just then all the remaining sand bags, together with everything that could be dispensed with in the car, were thrown out, and once more the. air ship pointed toward the clouds. ‘The fusillade became more furious, but the bullets were harmless. A slight in- crease in the wind also favored the fugi- tives. The enemy was left behind, but was still in hot pursult. The balloon, becom- ing weaker and weaker in buoyancy, at last began to descend gradually. It landed in the woods of Favieres, elcven kilometers from Cleremont. The Prussians were coming on rapidly. Tha Marie of Cleremont, M. Dubus, who watched the balloon and saw the danger of the fugi- tives, hitched up his two strongest and fast- est horses to a light wagon, and a few mo- ments after their landing he was driving them at full speed on the road to Montdid- jer. In that drive he beat the record and brought Gambetta and Spuller into the lit- tle town in safety. Of course, the Prussians found the balloon, but no trace of the men who were in the car. Such fs the simple story of Dubus’ drive, for which he received the cross of the Legion of Honor and an appointment to a judgeship in the canton of Mouy. Four years ago a monument was erected to Gam- betta near the spot where his balloon de- scended, and the tree in which the air shi, got fastened was named “Gambetta’s oak. ‘The owner of the land on which it stood has lately cut it down, because he did not like to have patriotic pilgrims and picnickers on his property. This goes to prove that there are hogs even in France, but, fortunately, they are among the sans patrie. —+e-2—____ Economic Effects of Tipping. From Gunton’s Magazine. The Barbers’ International Union of America has taken on the true American spirit, which ts the spirit of personal free- dom and dignity—the spirit of working for wages instead of fawning for favors. The barbers of New York city appear to be op- posed to Mr. Van Fleet. They evidently think that, being in addition to their wages, these tips are so much net gain to them, and hence, to refuse tips would be per- manently to lessen their income. This, of course, is the view entertained by all who consent to work under the tipping prac- tice. But it is a mistaken notion. There is mo class whose general income is in- creased by tips. The income is made pre- carious and fluctuating, depending upon the whims of customers and degree of ser- vility of the laborer. But its permanent effect is not to enlarge the income, but rather to Jessen the man. Tipping, as a practice, is offensively un-American and positively uneconomic. It is un-American not merely because’ tt did not arise in America, but because it is contrary to the whole spirit and genius of American life and institutions. It is a system of paying fer sérvices partly tn charity, which is always injurious, both to those who give ard to those who receive; it injures those who give, in tending to create the austere sentiment that they are giving something for nothing, for which the recipient is under personal obligations; {t ts ing to the recipient, because it is @ voluntary gift, for which he can put in no economic claim, and consequently must pay for im personal gratitude or obligation, which al- ways means the surrender of personality; it ta'speetally offensive*in this country, be- cause it rests on no Principle of equity or payment of equivalents ‘Tips are uneconomic, because they make the laborers’ income precarious and acci- dental, without making it larger or bring- recognized, that the laborers gain absolute- ly nothing by tips; whet they gain in tips they lose in wages. All the menielism ex- ercised to obtain tips, and the inconveni- ence resulting from the unoertainty and wn- evenness of the amount of inos 13 80 euch vantage due ipping sys- tem, for which the laborers receive no equivatent. eee Prof. Henry Ferguson of Trinity College, Hartford, Conn., lectured at the Saratoga Summer School of Theology y on 1 **The Church Under Persecution.” THE POLICE COURT Most of the Cases Today Were Drunks, Disorderlies and Vagrants. Nearly All Were Sent Down te the Farm for Various ‘Terma. When the Police Court opened this morn- ing there were plenty of lawyers on hand, but there was a scarcity of money in the pen, and the result was that legal advice was not in great demand. In thg pen there were six women, the only white female be- ing Minnie Judson. Several years ago Minnie was a good-looking woman and was in comfortable circumstances, but when she had had several experiences in police circles she sought the use of liquor in her effort to drown her sorrow and keep up her spirits. Like many of her kind,she went from bad to worse, until she got on a level with the many female vagrants who are victims of strong drink and unfortunate circum- stances. New she has the appearance of wearing clothing from “hand-me-down-town,” and ner. face shows that she has been dissipat- “Tor the last year she has been living at the Mission,” said Supt. McMichael. “She's @ good worker, but for the past month, and more especially during the past ten days, she has been drinkin; “What kind of work does she do?” “She worked in the laundry at the Mis- sion,” he answered, “and also did some out- side mending.” “Why is she charged with vagrancy when she has a home at the Mission?” the court asked. “She's been put out of there,” sald the officer. . “and,” said Bupt. McMichael, “she has been coming there and abusing people so much that I thought for her own protec- tion and our peace I would have her ar- rested." “Where will she go now?” “She claims that she has a home at her sister's. “I admit that I was drinking,” said Min- nie, “but I'm not a vagrant.” Judge Miller said he thought that when these people are drunk and disorderly they shouid be arrested for disorderly conduct. He thought, however, that Minnie ought to be sent down In order to get the whisky out of her, and gave her ten days on the farm. Row in Government Alley. The colored boys and girls in Govern- ment alley have their troubles, and last night two of the girls, Josephine Brown and Bessie Gray, engaged in a personal en- counter. Josephine was still on the warpath this morning, and the language she used in court was as vile as Judge Miller had ever heard. “That gal scratched my arm and face,” said Josephine. essie. ‘1 never touched didn't,” said hner.”” “She did touch me,” added Josephine, who was ré@ther boisterous in court. “How did I get these scratches on me if she didn’t scratch me? “You are fined $10,” the judge told her, ‘and Bessie is fined $5. “Thut’s all right,” said the boisterous one as she went back. “You've had me fined, but I'm going to beat you when I get out.” “Hew many more of this kind have you up there?” the court asked of Policeman Jack. “The woods are full of ‘em,” answered.

Mr. Lewis Baker, United States minister to Nicaragua, gives an object lesson in sil- ver in a report to the State Department, in narrating the experience of a citizen of the United States with the money of Nica- ragua. “Some five years ago,” says Mr. Baker, “an American citizen, an invalid soldier, who had shortly theretofore drawn a back pension of some $4,000 in clean United States gold, came to one of the Central American states to try the benefit of the warm, dry air of this climate upon the disease from which he was suffering. At that time gold ccmmanded a premium in the country to which he came of 35 per centum. After his arrival he entered the banking institution of the town in which he had concluded to stop, and arranged to deposit 2 sufficient amount of his gold to net him $4,000 in the currency of the coun- try, the basis of which was and is silver. He carried away his certificate of deposit, feeling rather good that, although it was for full $4,000 and bore 8 per ceni interest } upon that amount to be paid to him semi- annually, it had ccst him a little less than $3,800. “He continued to draw his interest promptly for four years with much satis- faction, not having been distrubed by the continual rise in the premium on exchange. By the time gold had advanced to a point threateningly near double that of silver, making his deposit worth but a trifle over half its face value, he received notice that the bank would no longer pay interest to depositors. He came to advise with me as to what he should do. I saw but two things to suggest, either withdraw his money, as the bank desired, or leave it for safe keeping, trusting to the operations of commerce to bring more favorable condi- tions at another time. The latter course was his preference. A year later he drew from the bank his $4,000 in silver coil with which he was able to purchase $1,731 in gold. The gentleman is a Californian, but he is not now a silver-free-coinage-for- the-United-States variety of citizen.” oe ___ LAFCADIO HEAR He Has Become a Jap, With a Wife and Son. From the New York Advertiser. Lafcadio Hearn, whose ability to write Arabesque English kas not been equaled since the days of De Quincey, has become HIS HEARING RESTORED W. H. Morse Had Been Deaf for Six Years. HE FAILED 70 OBTAIN RELIEF His Complete Recovery Under the Wonderful Treatment of Doctors MeCoy and Cowden—: Remarkable “ist of THAT ALL MAY HAVE AN ADEQUATE AND CORRECT IDEA OF THE McCOY TREATMENT, THE WONDERFUL RESULTS OF WHICH ARE ATTRACTING THE ATTENTION OF THE WHOLE COUNTRY, DOCTORS McOOY AND COWDEN HAVE GENEROUSLY ARRANGED FOR A LIM- ITED TIME TO GIVE TO ALL APPLICANTS ON THER FIRST VISIT A TRIAL TREATMENT FREE. THIS IS PURELY FOR ERUCATIONAL PURPOSES. IN 4 FEW YEARS THIS TKEAT- MENT WILL BE IN GENERAL ADOPTION BY THE PROFESSION, AND IT IS THE DESIRE OF ITS DISCOVERERS THAT IT BE SEEN AND NOTED BY AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIRLE IN THE OFFICES OF THE NATIONAL PRACTICE, WHICH DOCTOR McCOY HAS INSTITUTED IN WASHINGTON, AT 715 13TH ST. N.W. a full-fledged Japanese by naturalization. He wears Japanese clothes, has married a Japanese lady, by whom he has one chiid, a boy, whose education is nis particular care. Hearn recentty wrote to an Ame can friend declaring ‘aat ten years of his life were wasted in tne s:udy oe: Latin and Greek, which years could better have been devcted to acquiring knowledge of a prac- tica? nature which would have more fully equipped him for the battle of life. Hearn’s introduction to newspaper life was a very peculiar one. He was shy, timid and re- tiring by nature, and yet he tried to make a living as a boek pediler, He was an | ignominieus failure in this avocation, and next he procured a situation as a prooi- reader jn a large western book publication office. He marked in so many punctwatien merks and changes in the priaters’ proofs that they became incensed at hii nd one dinner hour they procured a stou: leathe: belt, put ft about his waist, and then at- tached ie to the hook of a hoistinz rope, which depended from a beam projeciing from the building. Then they swung Hearn out into space, six stories above the street, and kept him there unital he prom- fsed to be less liberal with his corrections. Col. John A. Cockerill was then the man- aging editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and to him Hearn applied fer a positon us a reporter. The colonel gave him a chance on “feature” work for the Sunday editicn, and, finding him apt at it, eventually turn- ed him over to me for regular assignments 01 the local staff. He soon became an ex- per: newsgatherer, but His powers of de- scription were so great that he was a:ways assigned to cover any big event which call- ed for special narrative or descriptive abil- ity. While a reporter in Cimcinrati, Hearn accempanied Weston, the “stecple-iack,” on an ascension he made to the top of tne ity. His description of his thoughts while he stood there made one’s flesh creepy. Lie wcndered, if he fell, if he would be sense- less when he struck the flags of the pay: ment, or if his brain wourd still be sensi- tive after his body had been mashed intc a pulp by the fall = Though but small man of very fragile build, Hearn was so indifferent to fear that many of his fellow reporters believed that he was disgusted with life and sought death in the line of duty. He left Cincin- nati and went to New leans because he wanted to fully inform himself of the folk lore of the negroes in slavery times. It was there that his literary career really began. Hts novel, “Chita, a Story of Lost Island,” brought him prominently before the public, and the sent him to the West Indies, which he described in a series of articles of wonderful power and interest. His “Unfamiliar Japan” is re- markably clever. Hearn’s father was an Irishman and @ surgeon in the British army. His mother was a mative of the Iconian Islands, anG was ponianded hy her people because of her marriage. Hearn was educated at Oxford, He has had a most remarkable career. . Corenation Plate.

Prom the St. Louis Republic. Judge Seymour D. Thompson, the author of those erudite legal works, “Corporation” and “Negligence,” is a prime story teller. He convoyed a party of friends into Thatcher's restaurant last evening, and as he noticed the multiplied reflections of their faces in the mirror-lined walls, he said: “How much you look like your brothers, gentlemen.” Then he went on: “That re- minds me of good old Judge Amasa Red- field of the Vermont supreme court. He and his brother Isaac, who was also after- ward on the supreme bench of Vermont, were as like as two peas. People frequent- ly mistook one for the other, but they man- aged to preserve their identity with each other until Judge Amasa was passing out of the dining room of a Burlington hotel one evening, when he saw his brother ap- proaching him. ““Why, Isaac, I didn’t expect to see you here. How did this happen? Then the Sudicial light found out, for his head had come into violent collision with a mirror. Isaac had Gisappeared, and in his place was Amasa, very much abashed. He never could keep a joke on himself, however, and he told me the story once in his inimitavie ary way.” —+ee—____ its Different Now.
