Base Ball.

New York, May 31—Twenty thous-
and persons saw the New Yorks ad=
minister-a drubbing to the . Pirates this
afternoon at the Polo grounds, the
morning game having been postponed
on account of rain. It was all over after
the four innings when the Giants scored
runs on a double, a couple of singleg
and errors by Pittsburg. Tannehill
went in to pitch for Pittsburg but could
stand the pace for. only two innings
when Hastings relieved him and pitch-
ed good ball. Rusie was in good form
and pitched a pretty game. Scure,
New York, 10; Pittsburg, 2, :

Brooklyn, May 31—The Brooklyn
and Cleveland teams celebrated memo—
Tial day at Easton park this afternoon
and no less than 17,600 persons were
on hand to assist them, The morning
game was postponed because of rain,
Brocklyn hit Young treely in the first
two sanings. Payne pitched a masterly
game and kept the hits made off him
well scattered. Brooklyn, 5; Cleve-
land, 2.

Chicago, May 31—The champions} 8
won the morring game which was long
drawn out and loosely played. Pond’s
wilJness gave the local’s their four
runs. Score. Chicago, 4; Baltimore,
6.

The afternoon game was tull of life
and excitement and belonged to either
side until the last out. Both pitchers
wer, hit hard and freely. Corbett re—
ceiving perfect support, while Calla-
han’s was rather ragged. Pileffer’s
pretty work at second was 4 feature.
Game called at the end ot ninth to al—
low the teams to catch their trains.
Score: ‘Chica, 6; Baltimore. 6.

Philadelphia, May 31—The Phillies |
returned from their disastrous western ; Ct.
trip today and played two games with ! gal ability, force of character, aftable,

Louisville. The visitors took the
first by lucky hitting. Both teams
scored one in the third, but steady
pitching prevented scoring uatil the
seventh when, with two out and two
mea on bases, Clark litted the ball over
the right field teace. Score. Phila
delphia, 2; Louisville, 4.

Philadelphia shut out Louisville in
the second game. The features were
the perfect fielding of both - teams and
the number of Philadelphians who
scored afver receiving gifts from the
pitcher, Eight of the Phillies rus
were so scored. Score. Philadelphia,
14; Lauisville, 0.

Boston, May 31—Rain prevented
the Boston-St, Louis morning game,
aud in the afternoon game the slippery
grounds made good fielding almost im-
possible. St. Louis presented a crippled
team. Houseman being sick and Hart-
man laid off with a sprained ankle. The
Bostons batted heavily. Score. Bos-
tod, 25; St. Louis, 3.

Cincinnati, May 31—The senators
were defeated by the Reds this morning
in an exciting game. Both teams
played snappy ball. Score. Cincinnati,
4; Washington, 3.

Beckley was the feature. Score. Cin-

cinnati, 4; Washington, 3.

New Law Firm.
It will be seen from the card in to-

day’s paper that J. L. Fleming, ot this
place an¢ W. M- Bond, of Edenton,
haye formed a partnership tor the prac-
tce of saw. About two years ago Mr.
Fleming associated wita himselt Mr, J.
H. Blount and they

continued to~

‘gether until Mr. Blount’s death a short

time ago. Their prectice had grown
tobe a very large one both in the
county and supreme courts.

Mr. Fleming, the surviving member
of the former firm, is a young man of
sterling integrity, energy, push and
vim and with bright prospects as a
lawyer, He has many friends in the
town and county, and this together
with his knowledge ot the law and his
abtiity ag a speaker make a partnership
with a very desirable one.

Mr. Bond is from Edenton N, C.
and has already gained a reputation as
a lawyer, his practice extending inté

 

almost ail the counties of the First Dis
With a ripe experience, fine le-

address and personal magaeiism, he is
a worthy successor of the late lamented
J. H. Blount, and.a great addition to
the legal fiaternity gt the county. Mr.
Bond will come with his family and
make Greenville bis home soon.

This is a strong firm and we con-
gratulate both Mr. Bond and Mr
Fieming upon the prospect of doing a
lurge practice in this and surrounding
counties,

What are the sweetest things on earth?
A fragrant rose that hides no thorn;
Riches of gold untouched by scorn;
Lips that can praise a rivals’s worth,

A happy little child asleep;

Eyes that can smile, though they may
weep; *

A brother's cheer, a father’s praise;
The winstrelsy of summer days.

A heart where anger never burns;
A gift that looks for no returns:
Wrone’s cverthrow; paip’s swift releare,
Dark footstep guided into peace,

The light of love in lovets’ eyes;

Age that is young as well as wise;

A mother’s kiss, a baby’s mirth—
These are the sweetest things on earth,
—Century Mapazine.

 

 

What the Doctor Says of Spring-Time
Precautions,
That we can ward off the dread-
ed “spring fever” by ayoiding
worry. : 3
That worry, rather than work,is
resnonsible for many distressing
ailments.
That a hearty laugh will often
relieve the tension of an over
worked brain.
That a perpetual round of du-
ties has a depressing effect upon
the senses and the mind, and the
best relief from this weariness is
change of scene dnd air
That typhoid fever is due largely
to choked drains both within and
without the body.
That brisk walking, w.th deep
inspirations, with the mouth
closed, helps to sweep out the
products of waste, and also, by
expanding the chest, is an anti-
dote to possible pneumonia.
That it is very unwice io tempt
tne appetite of one who is indis:
posed, the cessation of appetite
especially at this season, is @
warning of nature that the system
is in such a state that food cannot
be easily digested, and 4 little
judicious fasting may be of great
benefit.

That drags should be avoided
whenever possible, and that the
mouth should be thoroughly
rinsed and the teeth carefully
brushed after taking any kind 0i
medicine.

That when one is feverish all
drinks that are hvating or exciting
shonld be avoided. Pare tresh
water is best, then lemonade,
orangeade or teas made from some
simple aromatic herbs for quench-
ing thirst in fevers.

That every one with a tendency
to neuralgia, rheumatism sciatica

should beware of taking off their
flannels too early in the spring;

in fact, it is best’ to wear wool
nextto the skin all the the year
round, a8 in warm weather very
light weight flannels prevent
chilis after perspiration.

Leprosy 1 Baltimore.

There isa female leper at the
Johns Hopkins hospital this city.
She was taken to the instluiion
several §weeks ago, suffering
from what was supposed to be
askin eruption, brit aftera care-
ful diagnosis of her case by the
physicians at the hospital it was
discovered that the woman was a
victim of the terrible disease
of leprosy. When the truth of
the case dawned on the phy-
sicians the unfortunate wom-
an was isolated from the.rest of
the patients, and in that condition
she will be kept at the hospital
until arangements can be made
with the health authorities to re-
move her elsewhere. This wom-
an is a native of that city, and it
is thought contracted the ternble
malady a number of years ago
while in the West Indies.

worrying over the treatment of
the negro in the South, a colored
gentleman slipped into the Boston
fire department, and the people
up there feel like turning the hose
on themseives.”

There is a volume of truth in
these few lines.

The incident referred tois thor
oughly characterigtic of tha New

| England attitude toward the ne-

gro, remarke the Atlants Journals
and then that paper goes on {o
say:

The busvbodies of that region
are greatly worried over the social
line which separates whites and
negroes in the South, but are
careful to maintain similar dis-
tinctions in their own sections.
They how! because negroes are
not admitted to hotels in the
South where white persons are
entertained, and yet a venerable
colored bishop not long ago
sought adnnssion in yain to all
the prominent hotels in Boston.
They denounce the exclusion of
negroes in the South from. the
pest seats in theatres and from
railroad cars which are set apart
for whites, and yet they will not
give the negro a chance in any
ofthe higher industrial occupa-
tions.

There are no negro stone ma-
sons, brick-layers, plumbers, car-
penters or blacksmithsin Bostor,
while thera are huudreds in
Atlanta who work side by side
with white men and receive the
same wages for equal work.

The negro has a better chance
in the South in many ways that
make for his interest aud the com-
fort of himself and kis family
than he can findin New York or
Massachusetts.- Washington Post.

The Blind Chapisin’s Prayer lor Queen
Victoria,

It was a beautiful and gracious
tribute which ‘the blind chaplain

PRISONERS’ SIGNALS.

Ingenious Methods Which Convicts Have
of Communicating With Each Other,

The prisoners make every con-
ceivable effort to hold intercourse
of some kind with their fellow cul-

 

 

and solicitude—iutolerable to per-
sons of their class, who have ndt

ply them with food for thought.
Knocking on the walls of separation
between the cells, scratching sen-
tenceson the side of the baths or
the bettoms of the tins used to con-
tain their gruel and many other de-
vices of that inadequate nature are
instantly detected and stopped by
the officials. —

The chapel is perhaps the most fa-
vorable ground for enabling them to
let their presence at least be known

carcerated at an earlier or later pe-
riod from themselves.
and female prisoners ure, of course,

The maleé| porary sanity.-

both the male and female prisoners
faced the altar in their seats, and
over it had been fixed a very large
brass cross against the wall, so
highly polished as to form a very
good mirror. In its clear surface the
women saw the reflection of every
man as he passed to his place and
had enjoyed the spectacle with im-
punity till a wife, much interested
in the appearance of her spouse, had
made an imprudent remark to one
of the officers which revealed the
fact. The brass cross instantaneous.
ly disapppeared, and the blank wall
behind it no longer tells any secrets.

BLOOD HOUNDS NEEDED.
Just received a beautitul line of Sash none
Ribbon. Lana’s Cash House. Epiror Reriector—I wish to ask
without knowing anything asa to the
probable cost, if it would not be a good
investment for Pitt county to have the
Sherift keep one vr two blood hounds.
I think it would be the means of stop-
ping a great many thefts, especially the
petty ones. As soon as the dogs traced
a few thievts und they were caught,
others would see that 1§ woula not do
and abandon their pilferings.

There is hardly a week thai passes
but some intruder enters m. premises
and takes something away that I can
miss, aid no doubt many others suffer
similarly. 1 suppose it would be only
a small cost to the county to keep the
hounds, end the saving to the people
would be large. Tax PaYeEr.
