He was “loaned.^ Eldred was two-bagging with the stick right merrily. • r ' Shall that nightmare of being last become a stern reality? Every day that pennant looks farth er off; and It sure enough Is. It was Ramsay, Holt’s latest pick up, who took In the Machinists. It was ragged enough. In the flrBt Posey was found for -six runs. Not! only Posey, but the rest of them, were brought out of concealment. Yet the magnitude of this was to be surpassed I on the other side of the seesaw. (One other run was cellarited in the second,] but In this game runs one at a time| were not considered.) In the fourth Inning by conscientious hitting on the part of Albany and more conscientious erroring on the part of the others, only eight were made. (Note—At this Juncture there was a mad rush down the stairs where the detail was com ing In on the part of some of the lis teners. Conjecture the rest, but don’t Impugn the motives of those who fell over themselves getting to the side walk. Of course they; only wanted fresh air.) But even with these eight, struck In glaring white against the seven that the Amerl(fuses hadn’t earned, werq to be as nothing. They were able to read their name In figures large twice more, while once more only did the Climbers score. It wasn’t a credit to win, even, in a contest like that. Those six in one so disgusted Snod that Posey was al lowed to sit down. It did seem that he had earned a rest. And Boyd fin ished up the marvelous exhibition. The players had to change about all over the field. Dudley caught, which brings us to the tale of Mr. DeCosta. Since he has been here there have been vague rumors that he was “out of condition.” They were accepted. Day after day he was "not in condi tion.” Then somebody began to get wise. And he was "unconditioned" for two successive days on the road. Then the truth leaked out, and instead of getting It out of a bottle this time he got It out of a can. He Is no more a member of the galaxy of stars that compose our team. Fired, when all hope of “conditioning’’ him was-given up; and really, It was a misfortune, for he was a good first baseman. But these are stern times. No more shall dissipation wax unchecked, the honor of the Georgia State shall not be Im periled. They may even get the boys to going to prayer-meeting on Wed nesday nights, but this is perhaps too sanguine a hope. There was some hitting In It. In the ' ninth there were faint signs of rally ing. Nunley hit and stole, and then got put out. Eldred got a two-base hit, but Snod hit to short and It was over. There are six more this week, away from the wrath of the home fans. If the men were to do the Impossible now and take four of these, It would put them on the majority slAe. If his tory Is to repeat Itself, we may adorn the bottom column. But Mac and Klrkham will soon be In and things be better. There are still two months of the season left, anyway, to do things in, and much can happen In that time. They speak with bated breath in Amerleus now. It was so unexpected. They said that DeCosta wasn’t “In condition.” Wonder what that means? And after that six In one inning lead had been overcome hy an eight in one. Talking about a winning streak is as uncertain a thing as really starting one. Siner broke into the error column with frequency, to express It as mildly as possible. Saturday’s game was not' at all con ducive toward the improvement of the fielding averages Columbus got to the top by a simul taneous combination of victories and Waycross’ defeats. The ginger seems to have been lost somewhere. It oughtn’t to be so hard to cultivate a new stock. It begins to look as if we were the percentage fatteners. Certain is It that Amerleus has waxed fat on us. AT AMERICUS. Innings— 123 456 789—R. H. E.

How did it happen that Wfe took a serieB from Columbus, the leaders? But that is a memory of the dead past. Remember, though, that McCormack and Klrkham aren’t in it now. ..Mac will probably be able to be in Wed nesday’s game. But we are not the only ftnes that the Cellarites will fix.

Why are they rapidly going to the top? Why has the tone of every paper in Georgia that has had anything to say on the subject, radi cally changed its tone very recently? An answer to all this: They have achieved success almost at once; they have done the all but impossible. How? Directly and indirectly, by a stock company. That’s the secret of it all. The management there is now local, Instead of being vested in one person. It is divided among resident stockholders, and so the Amerleus people have more In common with the team than the letters across the uni forms. Also the attendance is better, gate receipts have swelled, and salar ies are being paid. Do the results jus tify this? Observe the scores and you’ll find your answer. A properly managed stock .company 1s the true way to manage baseball. It's not the only way, and sometimes it is undesirable, but this latter is the case only under certain anil very rare conditions. And when all other means of life have, failed, the vitalizing influ ences of the stopk company rhrely ever fall to impart new life. Prece dents, too numerous to mention, can be quoted. It was this that kept (Co lumbia in the South Atlantic two years with a steadily losing team, and main- THE HIKES MU ILF MOORE IEIIH SENTEHCED TO Valdosta, Ga., June 4.—For the third time since the murder of the Carter children, J. G. Rawlings and his sons, Milton and Jesse, have been sentenced to hang. Judge Robert G. Mitchell came over from Thomasvllle this morning for the purpose of resentenc ing thebe men. ’the. sentences were read in the court-room between 12 and 1 o’clock this afternoon, the con demned men having been led from the prison cells to hear the awful words pronounced by the court fixing the penalty for the crime with which they are charged. There was only a small crowd in the court-room at the time, no one knowing that the men were to be again sentenced. Judge Mltohell asked each of them if they had any thing to say why the sentences of the court should not be pronounced, and both of the boys responded In short talks In which they asserted their in nocence and stated that their lives had been sworn away by Alf Moore and old man Carter. J.'G. Rawlings was the first of the men to be sentenced. When asked what he had tb say, he made quite a lengthy speech to the court, in which he declared that his boys had nothing to do with the killing. He said that they had not had a fair trial and that they had not been treated right. He expressed a hope that the court would see that he was telling the truth, but that their conviction was the result of misrepresentation on the part of those who had testified against the boys. He declared that the court and others would’find out at the Judgment seat that what he stated was the truth. RawlingB spoke entirely for the boys and made no reference to himself. Alf Moore was the last man sen tenced. He had little to say except that he had told the truth at the trial and that he believed that God was pleased with what he had done. Judge Mitchell In fixing the day for the exeeption had In mind the appeals which had beep made to the supreme court, and named the day that would probably extend beyond the hearings that are yet to be had. The boys said they would protest their innocence to the end, just aB they have been doing all along. Friday, July 13, was the day set for the execution. tained in that city a baseball senti ment that was hardly equaled by that in the towns that played winning ball the year round.

Basque Is spoken by about 100,000 persons, who are naturally proud of a language that Is their ex clusive possession, for it Is unlike ev ery other spoken tongue, nml the as sertion is commonly made that to un derstand It one must have learned It in the cradle. This peculiar property gives In the mind of the Basque people- support to their belief that It was the language of Adam and Eve. The same claim 1b advanced, though, for Breton. The Romans when they conquered Gaul compared' Breton ,to croaking of ravens. About a million people speak Breton. Then there arc Flemish, still spoken by n comparatively small num ber In northensteru France, Catalan In the Pyrenees-Orlentnlcs and Langue doc and Provencnl, whose gradual ex tinction has been delayed mainly by the efforts of a few literary enthusi asts. fine gentlemen, their dandles. To rank in this class the young man Is com pelled to lace ids waist and to have a hose ornament of polished obeli. But, as an explorer sayB, "very few young blades can afford to possess one, and accordingly it may be lent either for a consideration or ns a very special fa vor. The possessor of one of these or naments jcould easily buy a wife for It, and sometimes It Is paid ns a tribal tribute by one should ho hnve to pay blood,money or be unable to give the statutory pig as atonement for a mur der.” Papuan husbands, too, have a primitive way of dealing with their re calcitrant wives. A man named Gedon bad a shrewish helpmate whom be at tempted to tame according to this method: “He would pick up a billet of wood when she wub halfway through a tremendous scolding and give her a terrific blow over the back. Thereupon ensued pandemonium. The other nfen and women would guther round, jab bering, but they would moke no at tempt to stop tbe beating once It bad begun.” Ancient Roses. Flinders Petrie, the archaeologist, while excavating nmong some ancient Egyptian tombs, found a wreath of roses which had been bound Into a gnrinnd and burled with the dead thou sands of years ago. M. Crepln, the bot anist and mlcroscopist, made a care ful examination of this queer find and prepared a paper on it which ho rend before tbe Royal society of Belgium. From this paper It appears that in places where the flowers were matted together they still retained their color ns well ns a very faint odor. The species to which they belong Is now ex tinct, but a rose resembling them in several particulars Is still grown in Egypt and Abyssinia. “A Dare BodLln.” “Bare” means “mere” as well as “naked.” and I cannot doubt that by “bare bodkin” Shakespeare meant “mere bodkin,” the point of the passago being with how contemptibly small an Instrument we could, If wo chose, put an end to life and all its bother. “Bare” probably was used Instead of "mere” for the sake of effective alliteration. (Cf. with Hamlet’s “bnre bodkin;” Richard II.’s “little pin,” . Ill, 2, 109.) For “bare” in the sense of "mere” I need cite only “bare Imagjnntlon of a feast.”—London Notes and’Queries.

On these four days.(and none else In tho year) The sun and clock both the same tints declare. . - The best safeguard against head ache, coqstipatlon and liver troubles is DeWitts Little Early Risers.

Eight men exclusive of the butler are required to servo it dinner, of twenty- four covers, one belug allowed for ev ery three diners. Another Is stationed in the pantry to “run In” tho courses. Absolute order and silence reign among these men, who perfectly under stand the butler's cabullstlc signs. Electric signals pass constantly be tween chef and biylor. From tho seat ing of guests until the ladles leave not more tlian elghty-live minutes should elapse, for loug dinners are considered bad form. Upon these occasions scarcely a member of tbe domestic corps escapes some special duty. The housemaids assist tbe pantry maid. After each course twenty-four silver plates and countless small sliver must be carefully cleansed, wiped very dry and then polished with chamois before being put nwny. Nearly 200 pieces of engraved crystal warq, must be washed and polished, and It Is too costly and brittle to be hastily hnndled.—Every body's Magazine. Ghost or Illusion f A minister of tho gospel, according to this talc, was walking to and fro In a long passage that ran through the house and meditating upon his next sermon. There brushed by him a housemaid. He watched her pass and enter his study. Fearing that she would disarrange his papers, be hurried after her, went Into bis study—and no one was there. No means of egress was possible but by the one door through which he had seen the girl en ter. \ Ho rang tbe bell and—the house maid came down from tho top of tbe house, where she had been performing her duties. And the unusual part of the story Is that nothing happened— no one sickened and died. The young woman married hupplly. And yet that minister of the gospel is sure that lie saw that housemaid pass him. Nor to this day does his stout and happy ma- trail know that she was ever In two places at’once. Wealth In Old Romun Times. Our wealth, as much ns we boast of It, Is comparatively puny ns compared with the wealth of men of old. There was Mark Antony's house that was sold to Messala for over $300,000, and Seaurus' villa was burned at a loss of over $12,000,000. Otlio spent over $14.- 000.000 In finishing) one wing of a palace commenced by Nero. Nearly $30,000,000 was found in tbo coffers of Tiberius, nnd Caligula spent 1t all In less than a year. Paulas could make a trilling present to tbe mother of Bru tus of a pearl Worth over $30,000. So let us' bo modest. We are a cheap people, even the wealthiest of us.
