Donny hammered out a dcuble and a single and played the new pesition fairly well, cutting off several puns through a good doubie play.

No game today. Senators play their last game in the west tomorrow. What a great game that Chicago crowd can put up at home! “What good is Cooley?” A single, a triple and a home run were his record yesterday. Gettman ond Anderson took turns y terday astonishing the Cincinnati specta- tors. This pair are like the nice little girl with a curl. When they're good they're lovely, but when they’re bad they’re horrid. If the Senators must lose the Washington fans are satisfied that the Cincinnatis are the winners. The Reds have lots of admir- ers in this city. The Clevelands are playing their usual strong game against the best clubs. The weak clubs usually have a picnic with them this time of year. Think of the Brooklyns recently beating them two out of three games. Reports from Louisville say the Balti- mores quit in yesterday’s game, especially McGraw, Jennings and Demont, and then Nops suiked and the game was over. Lave Cross captured twelve hard chances at third yesterday and also hit out a single and a triple. Cross wanted to come to Washington last season, but J. Earl could not make the trade. How quickly one is forgotten. Jud Smith came to the plate yesterday and not one hand greeted him. The patrons seemed to overlook the fact that Jud was once a Cin- cinnati player. Jud is a discovery of Tony Mullane. Tony found him in the Montana Leegue and brought him to Cincinnati to take Latham's place. Had he been recog- nized yesterday he would have been given of the mines. Rev. Dr. Millard, a minis- ter of Pana, made a plea to the miners to release the Overholts, and was knocked on the head with a revolver for his pains and badly injured. The seizure was made for the purpose of demanding the surrender of the negro miners who had been working in union men’s places. The Messrs. Overholt were formally re- leased at 5 o'clock last evening. The strik- ers are said to have voted several times to hang the Overholts, but were prevented by their leaders from committing violence. All saloons were closed last night by order of Mayor Penwell. A conference was held last night be- tween Secretary Ryan, Vice President Mitchell of the miners’ union and David Ross and T. D. Kelliger of the state labor bureau, and later they conferred with Louis Overholt, who agreed to meet the committee this morning and submit the concern’s toward a settle- ment. Other operators will meet with the state officials today. Most of the miners of other towns have returned home.

The Washington correspondent’ of the Sporting Life has ‘the following to say in this week's pap2r: “Earl Wagner has been at Atlantic City for the past week trying to wash away the thoughts of his weaklirgs amid the briny @eep: That is where Earl ought to stay. He is.a rattling good fellow, and personally has many fri2nds, but when it comes down to managing a ball team that is another thing. The great trouble is that Earl gen- erally hires managers, and he has so many suggestions of Lis own to make that the manager is simply a person in clothing that must do as Earl says. The position as man- ager on the Washington t2am is far from a pleasant position. Not that Earl is not kind to the men or the manager, but it is these ideas thai he wishes carried out that are often.on a direct line in opposition to the manag>r’s himself,’ and his conception of plays that make the manager’s life mis- erable. Earl should hire a manager to man- ege the team, and he should bridle himself in for the once and se2 what prospect the team’s chances take without any work on his part whatsoever. Talking of managers brings us to the fact that as yet there is no manager picked out positively for next se son. Various n2wspaper scribes have as- signed several men to the position, but none of them has as yet been officially ratified.” YACHT COMMITTEE ARRIVES. Secretary Kelly, Designer Fife and Others at New York. NEW YORK, September 2.—On board the White Star steamer Britannic, which ar- rived today from Liverpool, were Secretary Hugh C. Kelly, Designer William Fife, jr., and H, McGildowney, the committee of- the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, who will confer with the New York Yacht -Club in relation to the challenge of Sir Thomas Lipton for the America’s cup. ‘The committee was accompanied by the Earl of Ava, a member of the Royal Ul- ster Yacht Club, on his yearly trip to this country and Canada. He is the son of Lord Dufferin, formerly governor general of Canada, The members of the committee declined to talk about Sir Thomas Lipton’s chal- lenge until they had conferred with Charles Russell, his representative in the United States. The visitors will confer tomorrow with the committee of the New York Yacht Club. There are but two important points to be settled before the race is assured. One is the length of the competing yachts and the other the course. The Royal Ul- ster club favors a_70-footer and prefers to have the course at Newport, instead of the old course at Sandy Hook. FRUIT KESTIVAL, Ladies of Southern Methodist Church Give an Entertainment. Special Correspondence 6f The Evening Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md,, September 2, 1998. A “fruit festival” was given last night on the lawn of W. P. Magruder by the ladies of the Southern Methodist Church. Nu- merous tables ladene@ with fruit and taste- fully decorated with ferns and flowers were placed about ‘the lawn, which was lighted by numerous Japanese lanterns strung artistically about. The festival was largely attended and proved to be a suc- cess in every way..; The laditzs who had eherge of the diffetent tables were Mrs. ‘George Markwi éake table; Mrs: Hiuf- faker and Mrs. Stelfax, fruit table; Ic2 cfeam stand, Mrs.” Borthard, Miss Bessie Se Miss Florence ‘MeDonaid and Mr. Miss Burnstein and Stanley Men- dey had charge of the grabbag that was well patronized. Edward Hickey,.a guard at the reform school, narrowly ped serious injury ast evening. While driving from Benning his home at this place, his horse became frightened at an object in the road and ran frantically around a turn, where another wagon was approaching slowly. The horse deshed into the wagon ah2ad of him, smash- ing the buggy to which he was hitched and throwing Mr. Hickey out on his head. He was badly» bruised and shaken up, but_es- caped without any bones being broken. The horse was stopped as it was passing through Bladensburg. The Rev. John B. Williams, formerly pastor for seventeen years of the St. Luke's Church in Bladensburg, now stationed at Georgetown, S. C., has recently received a unanimous ‘call to the Church of Our Saviour, Brookland, D. C. — The Inevitable Lot of War. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I have read with great pleasure the sen- sible article in today’s issue of your paper by Andrew Van Bibber of Cincinnati, de- fending Secretary Alger against charges which, as your correspondent thinks, should properly be made against the imperfect machine sent to Cuba. It is an easy matter to distribute the blame in case of hariiships, improper sup- plies and unjust treatment to soldiers; but it is often the case that the assignment is unwise and unjust. It is then, as in num- berless other instances, what the logicians denominate non causa pro causa. In plain English, it fails to give the true solution of the matter. One wou!d almost infer from reading the papers that Secretary Alger and his ci ordinates were responsible for every toot ache, headache or other ache that happen- ed to afflict soldiers in their campaign in Cuba. It seems to have been forgotten that war is cruel and heariless and destructive. It is no picnic or pleasure excursion. Suf- fering, privation, destruction and death are the inevitable concomitants of that occu- pation which General Sherman metaphor cally called “hell.” Any one who places his name on the muster roll with any other conception before him is deceived. I spent three years in the war of 1861-5. I appreciate fully what your correspondent Says relative to the campaigns in east Ten- nessee and Georgia. I remember distinctly the cold winter of 1863-'4. We were with Burnside, Foster and Schofield in east Ten- nessee, 180 miles from our base of suppil largely without shoes, tents or provisions. We had to steal corn from the mules and parch or boil it for food, and even then we could not get more than quarter rations at atime. In his istagle sketch of the cam- paign Gen. J. D.,Cox, states that the Union army endured ,suffgrings and hardships equal to those;of, Washington's army at Valley Forge in the gold winter of 1776-'7. I have a personal letter from General Longstrect, wha;commanded the confeder- ate army confronting us, bearing on this subject. He says soldiers made their shoes from green skips, untanned, and with 3 we e pegs whittled fr icks. They, too, were destitute of fod use it could not be prowess to compare with those which he possesses. Covering acres of ground, he is a sure catch and a good thrower. At bat he seems to fear none of the terrors of the league, and hits to order, whether told to “hit it out” or “dump it down.” He eclipses Mertes, who was regarded as the “best ever’ until Green loomed up. As a sprinter on the base lines Green pales Mertes into a thin haze. Mercer, the Washington pitcher, who said the other evening that he would like to play with the Reds next year, gave the spec- tators a sample of his ability in the sprint rurning line in yesterday’s game. He hit a ball down to McPhee. It was pulled over toward first. McPhee went after the ball and handled it perfectly. He got it up with- out a fumble and threw right into Vaughn's hands, but he was too late. The fast- ying Mercer was there before the ball. It was a fine bit of sprinting. Mercer ts undoubted- ly the best all-round ball player doing slab- man’s service. He is not only a great run- ner, but.he is, barring one, the hardest hit- ting pitcher fn the league. Only one pitch- er has a better average than Mercer. Cy omar aoe en aorks has a little the percentage, is not played more than half Mercer. The had in that region. I never heard of any Secretary of War af commanding general, Union or confederate, being censured or threatened with eourt-martial for such mis- fortunes. They;are,the inevitable lot of war. It is the opinion ‘$f many sensible men that a mistake ‘wasi'made in appointing so many “‘sons of their fathers” to positions of responsibility in the present war. If more of the veterans who offered their services, and whose years of valuable ex- perience in the past were an abundant prep- aration, had been appointed to of trust conditions would have been otherwise. They knew the nature of war and the ne- cessities of soldiers; but they were not ap- Pointed, and we are now confronted with a condition, not a mere theory. Let us be cautfous not to charge Secre- tary Alger with matters in which he was not directly concerned. It is not wise or FRAISE RICH. Just. J. |ARD. August 31, 1808. —_—_—_. A Real Blessing.

There will be three important parades during the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, one of them being, of course, the regular Grand Army review. The first will occur Tuesday, Sep- tember 6, and will be made up of the Naval Veterans, Ex-Prisoners of War and other military organizations. Gen. M. L. Haw- kins of Cincinnati has been chosen gen- eral marshal of the parade. The day fo! lowing will occur the big parade of Grand Army, with the commander-in-chie J. P. 8. Gobin, at its head. It will be ri viewed by President McKinley and mem |pons entitling the holder and his wife to j than $400,000 worth of property is involved. vers of his cabinet and governors of the different states. The next day, Thursday, September-8, will occur the grand civic and industrial parade, which will be made one of the features of the week, in which the citizens’ committee will do its utmost. As the G. A. R. parade the day before will be made up exclusively of members of that organization and show what can be done by the veterans toward making as grand a spectacle as when the victorious army marched in review before President Lincoln at the close of the war, so the parade un- der the auspices of the citizens’ committee | will be a contribution on the part of the citizens of Cincinnati to the entertainment and the pleasure of the host of blue-coated visitors within her gates. By proclamation of the mayor this will occur on Peace Jubitee day. The routes of | the three parades will be different. The reviewing stand has been located in | Washington Park, at the Race street side, and from the box where President McKi ley will sit the column can be seen coming up Race street in a direct line of march for a mile witheut a turn. Increased Facilities. Facilities for getting about the ci enjoying all socts of amusements and sions on the occasion will be most ade- | quate. In the first p'ace, the managers of | the street railway system will do every- thing to accommodate the crowds on the occasion. Hundreds of new cars have been | provided for the extra accommodations needed. As for the entertainment itself for | the visiting soldiers, the committee on mis- | cellzneous, entertainment has cone to the utmost limit. Th2 system for entertainment will be made thorough by the use of coupon beoks, | which will be given to the adjutants gener- al of the different departments, and from them secured by the different post adju- tants for distribution to the members of the posts. In these books there will be found cou- ; admii on to innumerable places of amuse- ment. Among them will be Coney Island, the Lagoon, Chester Park, the Art Mu- seum, rides on the Ohio river, the various campfire: Seats in reviewing stands a: other attractions, which will be j free by the presentation of the coupon. In addition to this the presentation of one of | the coupons will entitle the hoider and wife | to admission to any of the theaters at half rates, and to the ogical Gardens, Base Ball Park and en the’ same | terms. There wiil be these books | printed | nd distributed to the members R., and this is done in line wit d intention on the part of the citi- | =ns’ committee to make the entertainment of the visiting veterans—the old so'diers in themselves—as com sible, and not co: Ons entertainment to the officers and the a credited delegates. —-—>_—_ MAINE MAN AN EMBEZZLER, Ex-Mayor Fritz H. Twitchell of Bath | Acknowledges His Guilt. Ex-Mayor Fritz H. Twitchell, one of Bath, Me.'s, most prominent citizens, and a | member of Governor Powell's council, and well known in business circles in Maine and Massachusetts, is a confessed embez- zier. The amount cf the embezzlement is placed at $60,000, but it may exceed that sum. It is alleged that for the past four- teen or fifteen years, during which Mr. Twitchell has been connected with the | Worumbo Woolen Manufacturing Com- | pany, various sums have been appropriated | by him. When confronted with the evidence, Mr. Twitchell acknowledged his guilt, but it is thought no presecution will follow, as the one most deeply involved is Galen S. Moses, treasurer of the mills, who is in- clined to treet the matter as one of per- 1 wrong rather than an instance of criminal intent. Mr. Twitchell, who is at his summer home at Popham Beach, is very poor health. He refuses to discuss the situation. The disclosures in the case were precipi- tated by the personal assignment of Mr. | , which was announced Tuesday, and which Mr. Moses himself says m Included in this are the interests of the 3ath Gas and Electric Company and the Richard Paper Company of Gardiner.
