AN UNPARDONABLE DEFEAT.
Th© Sandcrabs have gotten back in the
old rut and if they ever did play rotten
ball it was done with Houston yesterday.
There was nothing in the game after th©
fifth inning. Kaphan relieved Tevis, and
he passed four men and hit two without
throwing a strike. Whittenberg then went
in and the first ball he pitched resulted
in a double play. Tevis made a grand-
stand bluff in the siixth inning by picking
up a bat and threatening to go out in the
field and kill Preston for loafing on a ball.
It was only a big bluff, and no trouble
resulted.

EDMONDSON SOLD.
Says the Houston Post:
Bob Edmondson, the mighty swatter of
the Houston team, has been sold to the
Washington team of the American league.
Edmondson, however, will not leave here
until the close of the season of the South

price paid for Edmondson’s release was
$750.
Edmondson is the greatest all round play-

IN GREAT DEMAND.
Tfye demand for Chamberlain’s
George Simpson, aged 56 years, and a
Carpenter by trade, suicided last night
by shooting himself through the heart.
The tragedy took place at his home, 3327
(avenue I, shortly after 9 o’clock. He was
a victim of drink and had often threat-
ened to end his existence if he could not
conquer his failing for liquor. Having
been on a protracted sprae for the past
few weeks and growing despondent, he
determined to take his own life.
He returned home last night and his
wife in an adjoining room heard him say
that he was tired of life and that he was
prepared to die. She started for the front
room just as the report of the pistol told
her that her husband had carried out his
threat. The bullet passed through the
heart from a 38-caliber pistol grasped in
the hands of the victim, and death was
almost instantaneops.
Coroner Barry was summoned, and after
hearing the evidence in the case rendered
a verdict in accordance with the above
facts. The deceased had been a resident
of Galveston about twelve years and was
an excellent mechanic. A wife survives
him and is the only near relative living
in this section of the country.

WAITING ITS TURN5!
A lady in a small Alabama town had
occasion to call at the cabin of her
washer woman, Aunt Betsy, says Success
Magazine. While waiting for the article
she sought to be found she observed a
woolly head which appeared from under
the edge of the bed and asked:
“Is that one of your children, Aunt
Betsy?”
“ ’Deed, an’ ’tis, honey,'

“What ils its name?”
“Dat chile ain’t got no name yet, Miss

he asked. * Way up,’ replied St. Peter
‘For instance, a penny of earth’s cur-
rency would be equal to a thousand dob,
lars here.’ ‘How do you compute time?’
inquired the reporter. The good saint
smiled. ‘My son,’ he said, ‘one minute of
what yoy call time is tantamount to one
million years of eternity.’ Then the re-
porter slapped St, Peter on the shoulder
with his old, ingratiating geniality and
cried, ‘Lend me a ten, old man!’ And the

ALWAYS SPEAK WELL OF OTHERS.
There is a good old lady residing not
far from Albany who can not resist
speaking well of her acquaintances,
the New-> York Tribune.
On Thanksgiving day she told
colored man who did chores about the
place that he might go into the barn-
yard and help himself to a chicken. The
man obeyed with alacrity and was most
profuse in his thanks.
In the course of a few days the lady’s
husband informed her that on Thanks-
giving day neighbors had seen Mr. John-
son seize two choice hens from the coop.
“I did tell him to take one,” confessed
the. lady, regretfully, “but you know’,
dear, how intensely Mr. Johnson cele-
brates the holidays. Why, he simply can
not help seeing things double.”
THE RETORT HUMOROUS.
“You don’t seem to understand,” blus-
tered the man who was trying to make
his point with a university professor. "I
tell you, sir, I ought to Know. - m an
alumni of this institution myself.” “Are
you? That’s nothing singular,” was the
witty rejoinder, uttered so quietly that
the blustering man never knew what had
happened.
On another occasion the same professor,
having ordered from a muscc publishing
house a copy of a “Valse Impromptu” by
a certain French composer, received an
“Impromptu Waltz” by another man.
The publishers, when called to account
for their mistake, replied rather insolent-
ly that they had been in the music pub-
lishing business a long time, and had yet
to discover the difference between a
“Valse Impromptu” and an “Impromptu
Waltz.” Would Dr. Smith kindly state
to them the difference?
“Gentlemen,” wrote the genial pro-
fessor, in answer, “I have not, like your-
selves, been in the music publishing busi-
ness, and am therefore not fully qualified
to inform you, but since, in your ex
tremity, you have appealed to me, I
would venture to suggest that the differ-
ence between a ‘Valse Impromptu’ and
an ‘Impromptu Waltz’ may be simiilar to
the difference between a blind Venetian
and a Venetian blind.
“Yours very truly,” and so-forth.
“The Weigh or the Transgressor.'’

A READY WIFE.
Philadelphia Bulletin.
The late Oliver Sumner Teall, during
the enthusiastic campaign that he con-
ducted in New York in behalf of woman
suffrage, attended one night a dinner
given by a woman’s club in his honor.
Mr. Teall praised at this dinner the
ready tact and the resourcefulness of
v/omen. Then he said:
“Let me illustrate with an incident the
quality of which I speak.
“A clergyman, a distant relative of
mine, lives in the country. His richest
parishioner is a certain. Mrs. Dash Blank,
an influential old lady, but a great bora
as well.
“Mrs. Dash Blank called at the rectory
one afternoon. My cousin, busy in his
study, kept out of her. way. He left to
his good wife the task of her entertain-
ment.
“A couple of hours passed. Then my
cousin, at work at his desk, heard foot-
steps in the hall, the closing of the front
door, silence. Glad to think that his wife
was relieved of her visitor, he walked out
on the lanuing and called upstairs:
“ ‘So that old bore has gone at last,
has she?'
“The sweet firm voice of his resource-
ful and tactful wife replied:
“O yes, dear; she has been gone several
hours. But dear Mrs. Dash Blank is here
now. I know you will want to come up
and speak to her.’ ”

anxious to be in the game and has fre-
quently caught ope day and pitched th©
next. He is a fast fielder and covers a
large amount of territory and has a
powerful wing, being able to hurl the
ball from the outer rim of the ball yard
right into the catcher’s hands.
Edmondson’s specialty is in clouting the

hitter that has been on the local team
since the days of “Scrappy” Joyce. Bob
has never batted less than 300 in any of

BRONCHOS TOOK THE GAME.
San Antonio was the winner in the game
between the Bronchos and the Lumber-

contest was lively and good work was
done on both sides.
tries. Of particular interest in the re-
port of Consul General Robert P. Skin-
ner of Marseilles, who says that the last
word in regard to the industrial uses of
alcohol has not yet been said nor does he
anticipate that American expectations in
regard to the general practicability of this
fuel as a motive force are gciing to be at
once realized. So imperfect does the
French government regard the methods
now in use for rendering alcohol unfit for
consumption or of utilizing it as an illumi-
nant, that prizes have been offered to the
person offering the most advantageous
ideas on the subject. Nevertheless, th©
reports in the aggregate recognize the
possibilities of denatured alcohol based on
th© trials already given it abroad.
GOES TO AUSTIN.
It was stated today that the Austin
league team has purchased the release of
Alexander from San Antonio, who has
played in the Texas and Southern leagues
for several years and is recognized as a
fast man. Alexander is said to have had
differences with the San Antonio man-
agement, and, though a valuable man,
was useless to that team, and was dis-
posed of to Austin. He will make a splen-
did addition to that team under Capt. Gill,
who has had no dissensions in the ranks
of his players. Austin is out for the pen-
nant in the second half, and the fans are
supporting the team as Austin never did
before.

Inquiry Into Evil Expected to Reveal
Astounding Statistics.
Washington, D. C., —ug. 7.—Some start-
ling figures as to the number of divorces
in the United States during the past 29
years are expected to be brought to light
as the result of an investigation which
will soon be undertaken by the census
bureau into that subject. Census ot’tlca
officials telicve that the inquiry into th©
divorce evil will dexelop the fact that
since the last census was taken in 1886
there have been something like a million
marriage ties broken. They base their
predictions on the ease and facility with
which divorces are now obtained.
The inquiry will be a thorough one, and
will have to de not only with marrlag©
and divorce and indictable offenses, but
will also include lynchings, suicides and
homicides. Every city in the country, in-
cluding Detroit, Mich., will be searched
for statistics.

Marriage ds the Object of a Club Formed
in St. Louis.
St. Louis, Aug. 8.—The “Matrimonial
club” is to give a picnic at Maple grove,
two blocks north of Delmar garden, next
Saturday, object matrimony. The pur-
pose of the club is best set forth in a
public circular, which says in part:
“Many young men of the West End,
having grown tired of their single blessed-
ness and resolved to better their condi-
tions if they can, have organized a club
to be known as the Matrimonial club,
whose object it is to give a series of mat-
rimonial picnics and balls, to bring the
unmarried element of St. Louis together
in a congenial, friendly gathering. We
realize that there are thousands of good
young women and men in this city who
would be only too glad to get married and
settle down if they could find suitable
partners. We feel that if this vast army
of young people can be brought together
with the right spirit, that it will offer ex-
cellent, opportunity to relieve the city of
its congested condition of unmarried men
and women.
“The servant girl problem, the factory
girl, the dearth of marriages, etc., are
questions that interest everybody. Every
day we see our sisters entering ^he work-
shop and required to do work intended for
men, instead of being permitted to re-
main at home to beautify the household
for the stronger sex and .add the sunshine
and happiness to our lives for which our
hearts crave. We believe that the best
remedy for all of these ills is to place
the girls in their own homes, where they
really belong, and wa believe this result
