Ope of the moet amnsing games of base' ball we have aeeo this seaaoa was played on the grounds in rear, of Paradhe Park Friday afternoon between tUOoboCreek Club and a •crab nine of towa boys. The Coon Creek boys 'challenged oar boy* on Thursday lor a game.. Two or throe of the Thomasvihe team are absent and two or Hues are disabled, and so the challenge was declined. Thp Coon Creek club failed to receiye the message and thinking everything was all right, they came down ready for playing. They were anxious to play and in order to accommodate n, a scrub nine was ecmptd to gether and at three o'clock both learns reported , at the grouads ready for playing.

Dear Tnsas Enterprise: When I last wrote I was about to ttart across tbe mountains, or as ter I wished to go 00 horseback, with Sam Wallace, ol FUaddphia. We hare reached thia place, 10a mile* from Colotado Spring*. Oar gray colta being joong would prance, They kept op a tattoo oa our pants, So being sort we’re stopped to rest, We know you, too, would thiak it best. . This is a pretty little town in a valley. It has an attitude ol 7,970 thet aod is stmt in by lofty now tipped peaks, ex cept to tbe South, in which direction the valley extends several miles. Like every other place I have seen in (he state, dure is almost absolutely nothing doing. The Princeton ts Ihe finest hotel in the place. It is named •he highest peak in right, which is several hundred feet higher than Pike’s. When we opened the book to register, our.eyes fell on tbe following: “Monday, July 34th, 1883. To day this hotel closes until silver is again made money.* We could only get rooms, which we were glad to se cure, and we got oar meals elsewhere. Every where we go hotels, business houses and dwellings are closed and of ten entirely abandoned and advertised tor sale or rent. There are practically no tourists, icvalids or drummers the state. Neatly everybody seemrjo! idle. Silver, silver, ail -sr, is the all absorb ng topic. There Is a great d-.-al more silver on the tongue than ix the pocket, and everybody abuses Cleveland as though he was personal ly responsible for their having no money. Men no longer have confi dence in men. They seldom pass each other on the highways, even in broad day time, without grave suspi cion. For instance, yesterday about four miles trern here we passed a man on horseback; before we were speaking distance, bis Winchester was out, his finger on the trigger and his thumb on tbe hammer. At the self same moment my hand grasped my "thiity eight” and Sam had his Marlin t n position. This situation prevailed until we were out of reach of eat h other. This is the usual way ^greeting is made. Men dare not take any chances. Too many are held up and robbed by some ot the hordes of men upon whom enforced idleness has in duced the desperation of hunger. Hundreds of men willing to work are being fed by the government In order to prevent starvation and crim,. Often the east bound trains are cap tured by large bodies of men and the crew forced to run the train eastward wi hout collecting fares. In coming here we crossed ‘ South Park" which is a valley, yet has an alti'udc of about 8,ooo feet, is three miles w.de and perhaps twice that leng h,' It is covered . with nothing but grass, which looks as thopjh Ladd Bailey bad been over tt.with a pair ot horse clippers. It is poor support lor the birds of cattle which traverse aod it is no wonder numerous carcass- stud the country, particularly around sandy depressions, which ap pear to have once been water boles. For quite a while we followed up the Platte river, which at that point is a small swift stream, ted by springs ud melting snow from the^mountins. There are a few wohres in this section yet and occasionally the traveler is disturbed by the plaintive wail of a mountain lion. His ciy is to like that of a child in distress that one might be earilymistaken for theother. I’m not going to tell too many tales out ot school bnt I know that this error will not be committed a second time by the tame person. The sheen of sharp ivory, bright demonisb eyes and a suggestive auari are too much even for a “38” unless there seems no other avenue of escape. One feels u instinctive desire to see hi* pa. Along the fine of the Colorado Midland railroad, which was built through tbe mountains about six years ago, there are a good many randies, bnt stock is tbe prindpal production. This is the tend of beef. No hog and hominy here. I’ve seen bnt three hogs and not a grain of ccwn since started. Nothing bat hay, Irish pota toes and a lew oats are raised.

Cleanliness—Suggestions. Editor Times-Entertrise: It has been truly said that “cleanli ness is next to Godliness,* and that order is the first law - ot These maxima an true, not only in individual life, bnt in community life as well. Bnt rarely has it ever been so necessary in the hixtory of oar city that everything be kept scrupulously clean tujust now.

The authorities have had the weeds in the streets cat dawn, bat left to decay on the ground. But almost every no. tenanted lot, and many that are oc cupied, are a mass of all aorta ef weeds and decaying matter that must nec essarily impress onr whole atmoephere with malarial poison. All well ordered cities not only at tend to sewerage aad draiaege. but compel ever, citizen to keep their private premises in fiat class order, especially iinhe rammer and fall, and in times of epidemic.

The Spanish steamer Julia came into port yesterday morning tor the purpose of conveying destitute Cu bans to their native tele. The veseel’a arrival was hailed with delight by a majority of the Cuban residents, ts they saw in her a means of getting back-to Cuba.

A good many more went across on the Mas Itte rumored that another steamshipiwifi arrive here to-osorrow for the purpose of conveying as many Cabans aa desire to go to the Queen of the Antilles. Brunswick Quarantined. Upon receipt ol the news Sunday morning that’ there was a case ol yellow lever in Brunswick, Mayor Hopkins immediately called a meeting of the Chy Council and Board of Health, toponiktef the aviaabQity of est*blishio| quarantine against that place. It was the universal opinion that such steps be taken and .the mayor at once put in force the retro lations, and had an Inspector meet the noon train from Waycrots. There are quite* amber ot Thom, ville people oq.St- Simons Island and the question was brought ap as to whether they would be aflowed to re turn home. The members of the two boards were oi tbe opinion that the law shouldapply to all alike, and was canted that these parties could not enter the city without bring de tained at quarantine station the legal length of time.

Atlanta, Ang. 12.—Stale School Commiarioner Brad well this afternoon completed the consolidation ot the public school census which was re cently taken in the various counties of the state. Tbe consolidation shows important point in the advance- mentof education in Georgia. There has been in the last five yean an in crease of about 8 per cent in the school population and tbe decrease in illiteracy has been marked. Savannah leads alt other cities in the state in this particuler. Out of every 400 whites there is only 1 who cannot read and write in that city. Commissioner Brad well is of the opinion that no other dty in this country can make such a remarkable showing. The credit for this is doe Savannah's splendid public school system. In 1888 there were 140,000 men in Georgia who could nut read and write.' The percentage of illiteracy among tbe whiles ie now eleven end twenty-eeven among the blmckr. There are more males in (be public schools in Georgia than f- ua es. the total number of males being 306.594, and femaliB 296.374. riix hundred and four thousand nine hundred and seveotv-onc is the total school popu lation, snd there has been an increase of 44 690 since tbH8. Atlanta's school (lopuiurion has in-J., created 23 per tent, ilt five :■ Hrs among ihe whites. One in one hun dred between the age, ol 10 aod 18' cannot read ami -irite. The average of white and biac-t being five in the hundred. There are 356,380 white iUiteratea in the state, and 78,889 are colored, or 11 per cent- of the white population and 27 per cent, of tha colored population is illiterate. Geor gia has 4,605 white schools and 2,680 school tor colored people, and the number of teachers in these schools is 10,000 in round numbers. Twenty- five thousand five hundred and thirty- one children in tbe state have never attended public school, and 6,000 have attended private schools, but never went to the public schools. The amount is $1,250,000. The oldest newspaper in the world is said to be the British Press, which - was first issued in 1662, and has just celebrated its 281st birthday. The people are ia no mood to tole- ' rate any "jingoism’' on the part of congress. They demand prompt, in telligent and patriotic action. Grover Cleveland will be remem bered as a democrat, aod as a broad and liberal statesman, long after tha men who are assailing him have been forgotten. Southerners nowadays smoke cigan 'made by southern workingmen ont of southern raised tobacco. This is true •ouebern progress, says the Savannah Press, Ouly two Georgia congressmen, ’ Livingston and Moses, 'attended the silver conference ia Washington. Republicans and third party men participated. Mr. Carlisle, secretary of the treas ury, has ordered fifty millions of car- rency to bs made available in the sooth for the purpose of aiding ia moving the cotton crop. Mr. Cleveland having laid the foun dation for the work to be done by congress will return to Gray Gables. He proposes to stay there until about the 1st ot September. All agree that the pledges made in the Cbibago platform should be re deemed. On tbe free coinage question many have not studied the exact language of the platform. Referring to Ibis the Telegraph says: The question has not been tiiily sauted. The democratic* platform declares for free coinage —but not for the free coinage now demanded, and which certain men and newspaperi are trying to make the test of loyalty to the democratic party. The platform attaches conditions when it declarer for free coinage which are vital and which they ignore. First, it insists that there shall be no discrimination against either metal. They insist that less than a dollar's worth ot silver, at the market price, shall be made into a dollar. If this were done there would be discrimina tion against the. gold dollar, which WiQ aland Senator Hill’s teat ot Ihe •ratting pot, and tire platform would be violated. The second condition is practically a repetition of the first. Ii u ‘.hat the gold and silver dollar mas’, be of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value This eoald no: oe unless the metal silver dolar were worth ss much as that in ihe gold dollar ia the markets ot the world. To put less in be to violate the platform^ Representative Hall, of Minnesota, declared there are $21,000,000 of pen sions paid annually to. non-residents and non'eitizens of the United States which ought to be stopped. The Sparta Ishmaelite says that it is not within the reach ot human wis dom to devise a scheme for keeping money in a section whose people make it their mission in life to sprad all they can make on the products of other sections. woman who had been a bride bnt two months procured a divorce in Superior, Win., the other day, be cause her hubby refused to scratch her back. The fellow, it seems, failed to come to the ‘'scratch." The August!: Evening News offers the following advice to Congress: Repeal it, gentlemen, at once,- without condition and without de bate—that silver purchase law, we mean—and then talk about eUver coinage and ratio all rammer, if yon desire.
