Anson, of Cical, - filding bet:er than ever this season, and is far frm weak with the stick. ; The Baltimores as fieldrer, batters and :base runners have n superiors. 1but they are weak in the bos. Catcher Kinslow was released uncondition ally by Pittsburg, without being given the usual ten davs'notice. St. Louis and Louisviile are playing goodI ball, but both teamsseem to have more than their share of hard luck. Tucker is playing a niarvelvas first base ,or Boston. He and Beekley. of Pittsburg. .asily lead all the first basemen. Pirst Baseman Tebeau. of Cleveland, is weakest on high-thrown balls. Generally it is just the reverse with first basemen. The Chattanooga Club eontemp'ates base .ball by electric light. The scheme has been tried many timee-always with failure. Corcoran, of Brooklyn. is playing the best short fleld in the League, not barring Long, of Boston. and Jennings. of Baltimore. President Freedman is giving two men salaries to travel to all minor leagun cities and capture players for the New Yorks. Inks is LouLisville's star pitcher. His work this -ason puts him among the few llrst class'outhpaw pitehers in the profession. The Pittsburgs are depending on "killing the ball" rather than scientific batting for tuns. They have lost ground by the prae tice. Bancroft now believes that the Louisvillo team was organized to go around the coun try and scare ball teams which are leoking for !:naps. Clark, the New Yorks' new first baseman, has made an excellent impression so far. U is a very clever fielder and seems to be a >romising hitter. McGarr. of Baltimore. is now playing third base in beautiful form. Like all the old timers, it takes about six weeks for McGarr to get thoroughly warmed utp. Thompson. of Philadelphia. never batted ais heavily as he has during the past two weeks. not ev-i in his palmiest days as one of the celebrated Detroit sluggers. The Cincinnati team went to Maysville. Ky., and with Phillins it' ~ were actually -4- iten byd- -t kountry e u y . They were outphmyed at all points and fairly vhipped. Pitcher Cuppy is so exasperatingly low that the Cleveland management is to be peti tioned by people who want to get their sup pers warm to c.)mmenee the ga&mes in which he pitehes at 3 "'clo-:k. Anson. of Chicago. has made but two errors in the Lst thirty-eight games. In the fifty sixth games in which he has played he has Tailed in but eight to bat safely-a showing few batsmen can make. - Nine ex-Pittsburg twirlers have faced the Pittsburgs tbis season. and only two-Strat ton and Tierry---have won their games. The losers- were Ehret. Gumbert. Knell. Phillips, Esper. Maul and Staley. . No pitcher nas stood in thbe box this year with tbe record that Young, of Cleveland. is mnaking for fielding, lIe helps constantly to in his own games be getting in front of .:verything that comes along. More scientific base running is what the New Yorks need, suggests an erudite critic. More base running of any sort wvoulel ~oe gratifying, but more batting would be better still How is a man to do scientific base kutnning when bie can't get to first?

The County Convention of Conser vatives of Sumter County assembled in the Court House in Sumter Friday morning. The Convention was called to order by County Chairman M. goise. The enrolment being completed it was found that ther a were 112 delegates present, presenting sixteen clubs. Chairman Moise then called for the lection of officers. M. Moise was elected chairman, H. U . Osteen, secretary. R. 0. Purdy was elected vice president. The following resolution was adopted Resolved, That we, the Conservative Democ-ats of Sumter County, in Con rention assembled, make the following proposition to the members of the Be [orm faction of the county, viz: That tre will nominate in such manner as we shall decide upon three meu as dele gates to the Constitutional Convention, and propose to the Reform faction to nominate, in such man ner as they shall eelde upon, three men as delegates to the Constitutional Convention, and that the six men so nominated, three Conservatives and three Reformers, hall constitute the nominees of the Democratic party of Sumter County as delegates to the Constitutional Conven tion to be voted for at the election to be held on - day of August proximo. Resolved, further,That the president of the Convention shall appoint two members of the same who, with him self, shall be a committee to convey this proposition to the Reformers and report their answer to the Conservative executive committee through its chair man, Mr. Marion Meise. The following resolutions which was unanimiusly tabled: Resolved, That we will nQt go into any primary election for candidates to the Constitutionnl Convention. 2. That the Conservative executivo committee of this county be nuthoriz 'ed to invite an equal numlber of prom inent Reformers to meet Aith them in conference, and that this body shall pioceed to nominate six high-toned, patriotic citizens to be voted for at the State election as delegates to the-Con stitutional Convention - 3. That in case the Reformers neg lect or refuse to meet with us in such conference that our executive commit tee be authorized to proceed without them to nominate six delegates for us and to do all such things as are nieces sary to carry into effect the object of these resolations. 4. That each delegate to the Consti .tutional Convention from this county shall be pledged to (o the 0most in. hig pdwer 6e~~tah6aits passed by which the rights of the private citi zeus are curtailed, but that laws shall be enacted for the proiection of the citizens in the enjovrent of those rights; and also that the proposed Con stitution shall not go into effect until ratified by a two-thirdb vote of the qua litfied voters of this State at an elec tion to be held for that purpose. The Convention was largely in favor )f the divisi on and the sentiment in Sunter County, looking to healig the breah now existing between the two factions will surely govern our people in this imuportant matter A Republican Address. Capt. L. D. Melton. chairman of one wing of the republican party, and C. F. Holmes, secretary, have issued an address in which they say: "That while adhering to the Rlepub lican party in national politics, we re affirm and emphasize our already ex pressed purpose in State politics of co operating with and under the leader ship of Conservative Democrats, when ever and wherever they may see fit to organize and make a contest against the common enemy--Tillmanism. We are fly aware that the Constitution al Convention was called and fraudu lently counted in against an adverse popular vote for the express purpose of permanently disfranchising the mass of the Republican voters, i. e., the negro vote. We therefore insist and urge that in the coming election, no republican, and especially no colored republican, can afford under any cir cumstances to cast his vote for any Tillmanite or for any milk and water Conservative, (so-called,) who would easily succumb to the Tillman lash on the floor of the Convention. Far bet ter not to vote at all than to vote for such men. But wherever Conserva tives are put forward as candidates who are fully committed to the principles of free ~and fair elections and equel justice for all classes, or whose char ater and standing are such that they may be trusted to stand firmly on these pri~nciples, we urge all rep~ublicatns not only to vote for them, but to support them in every legal and proper way In counties where there may be a comn bination ticket under the so-called equal division arrangement we urge that republicans vote for the Conserva tive half of it only. where satisfactory, an d fill out their t icket either with oth er Conservatives or wi candidates from their own ranks who may be best qualified and least obnoxious to Con servatives. "That we favor and urge carrying the suits against our iniquitous regis tration and election lawvs. becgun in both the Federal and Sitate courts, to the Supreme Court of the United States for final decision on their mner its, and we regard the able and unan swerable opinion of our own Chief JJustie just rendered as a most fav-or able indication of what that decision is likely to be We believe that truth and justice will finally prevail."

The slreets cf the bggest cities of ivery continent blaze at midnight ihrough the genius of Charles 1'. Brush. Still the world knows but litle about himi. With all ilis ienius he is modest in the extreme. lIe early adopted the policy of keep ing out of print. He has contributed little to scientific journals, and the world knows him only through his work. It has no idea of the man, tad there are few who appreciate his wonderful character and the wide ex tent of his achievements. His big inansion on Euclid avenue, Cleve land, is one of the finest houses in the United States and one of the most comfortable homes. It is located in the best part of the ave imue, which is one of the finest streets in the world, and it is surrounded by feven acres of magnificent lawn, where the land is so valuable you have to carpet it wit i greenbacks to buy it. CHARLES F. DR-SH. There are tons of storage batteries in tIe house. and the power which charges these batteries with electric ity is an enormous windmill which he has erected in the rear. Every breeze that blows produces light for the house, and the batteries are so large that if there should be a dead caln for a whole week they would still contain enough electricity to run all the lights. "I was always experimenting with something, and while I was in the High School in Cleveland I made microscopes and telescopes, grinding te-4s.io,,i rint ot some vety fair instrtments.' "When did you first appreciate that your electric light might have a conmmerci'd value?' "I think it was about 1816," re plied Mr. Brush. "It was at this time that I completed my first dyna mno-eiectri.- machine. I showed this at l'hiladelphia the next year at the Franklin Institute. Tihe first are lighting machines had to have one dynamo to each light. My inventiol was the first that proposed a series of arc lights working from one dyna mo, and it was upo-n this that all the street lighting and all the are lighting systems of the rresenlt day are baed." "W'\ill we ever get electricity direct ly fromt coal?' "'I think so," replied Mr. Brush. "In fact I have already gotten it, but ot in such a way as to make the invention cornmmercial ly profitable. It is now twenty years since I suc eeded in getting electricity directly from coal. I t, was in 1874. The fields of invenmtion are vast. We stand just on the threshold, and there will be new inventions as long as man has mind to create and the will to inves tigate the greamt forces of nature and the possibilities of their combi na tion. "The electric force is still to a large extent a secret fromn us all. Of late years there have been fewv nuaw fun damental inventions in electric light ing. There have ibeen umany im provements and mmodificationms of the old ones. The light is steamdily being mde better, but it is the same I liht jut, as for instance, we have hadi lo comn >tives drawin-. trains ever smnee we were born, but the locomotive of to-day is am far dilferent machine from that of forty years ago. Still it em bodies the same fundamental prineci "Where is the chief work being done in electricity to-day ?"' "It is in the field of thermo-elec trici-y, or heat elect ricit-y. It is now thought, you know, thait all light and hat are produced by electrical force, and it is in these branches that the best work is nowv being done." Gas Made from Fats.

Nobody ever would guess That a cake could cause a little girl So much unbappiness Nobody can tell mother Who took it from the shelf But I know, before I go to sleep, ril have to tell her myself! ANTS AND THEIR WAYS. A man who knows all about antS says that no one has ever seen a quar ral between any two of them that lived in the same nest. If a great many children were put together in one big. house, do you think that could be said f them? Some of the ants guard the ome, some feed the babies, some make roads and new rooms, while cthers go out to get food. Each one seems to do its little duty without fuss r fretting. Once an ant found a big fly that was dead. The ant pulled and pulledi at it, but could not carry it off. After twenty minutes of hard work, it went to the nest, and came back with twelve other ants to help it. How did it let them know about the fly? There are big ants and little ants,. white, black,and red ants-a thousand kin-Is in all. One kind has servants to wait an them and feed them. They have become so lazy that they had rather die than take the trouble to feed themselves. Other ants keep cows! You have often seen these cows, but you did not know they were cows, because they have no horns and no long tail. They are the little green bugs that spoil our rose-bushes in the summer. The ants are very fond of their milk, which is what we call honey-dew. -Examiner. A ROBIN CAUGHT IN CHANCEBY. Do birds remember injuries? One severe winter the deep snow had been thrown off the steps of. the window and formed a heap in which there many cavities. It was my custom to feed the birds every day after meals with whatever scraps I could get, es pecially scraps of fat meat, bits of aples, etc. One day it occurred to me to place the food in the cavi ties of the snow, just to see how the birds would act. Among those which ca~ne daily to be fed was a robbin red brest, one of the most self-confidenlt and quarrelsome of the English warblers. He had taken upon -him self to be the "boss" of the place, and drove every bird away from the tit bits In one of the cavities I had >1liced a fine piece of fat, and the robin poked his head in; then went right in to enjoy the delicacy. In the twinkling of an eye two lit tle bluetits-sma~ll, pugnncious birds -were at the entrance pegging at him. Findi:g that he could not back out the round to face the foe,but they k ept up such a perfect fusilade of pecks that lhe gave in and drew back a; far as he coild. When the blue tits went away he came out, looking restfallen, an:1 whenever his enemies appeared on the steps kept his dis tanc. The bully had mastered a les sonfor once. Now, simple as such an incident is, it is indicativ.3 of what we cannot well hel p calling "reasoning power." The l uetit is a much smaller bird than the redbreast, has a less powerful beak and is not much accustomed to b on the ground, for his habit is to hunt for insects among buds. He would hav~e no chance in the open,but he recognized at once "the hole" the rcdbreast had put himself in and in conjunction with an ally he takes ad v.ntage of it. To go no higherin the intellectual world, no schoolboy could h.e acted more craftily. -Philadel pia Press. Straw Hats of Wood. A Massachusoet inventor has pat ented a machine which issupplied with fine planing teeth. A log of wood :t square is fed to it, and when the log passes through it it has furnished a undred strips of wood much resem bing excelsior. Their length, of course, is that of the log. It is caimed that these, when moistened, cn be woven much more .readily than straw and make as durable a hat. The inventor says it is twice as light as straw, and that, because of ia easier manipulation and cheaper cost, it will supersede the straw now used for the construction of headgear. Even women's Leghorn hats and Qe finest Panamas may become possible fr those who can't afford them now. -New York World, A1 DO IN IHE IAST. swept Destructively Over New Jersey, Harlem and Long Island, EVERAL VILLAGES WRECKED.

The first fatal result of the terrific windstorm was the almost total destruction f the town of Cherry Hill. near Hackensack, . J. Three persons were killed there, and the homes of twenty families blown into kindling wood. At Asbury Park. Long Branch and other seaside rcsorts the effects i th6 storm were disastroui.
