of a large crowd A well-earned victory was scored by the Memphis team The game was In a tertaln degree interesting but not so exciting as the score below would indicate The contest wan wonderfully close throughout but was conducted in each a Ilitiess manner that little enthusiasm or tioeling was stirred up Neither team showed up to first rate advent-age The batting was by no means up to the standard while thefikaae running wm tame and coaching wretched Both teams did flue fielding Dieetel's two errors were the unly ones eharged to the locals but they were fatal The rest of the team played without a fault- Bradley In the box did most excellently a majority of the hits against him having been gotten in the first Inning before he was warmed up After that he pitched an good ball ag wa9 overseen here Reeder's catchof a tly that woold have given the batter a home run was the sensational feature of the game It was probably the finest catch that ever was made on the local grounds The visitors showed tip fairly well but don't seem to be the team they have been cracked up to be One thing is col Win Unless they improve very much they eau never come first or second in the pennant race If the locale bad played their game they would have won with ease They went into the contest however beaten and never did get down to hard work It was very much like the first game they played against the Shamrocks They went in frightened and lost Next day Wier having time to "size up" their opponente they won easily I Nneed's team is however much above the average Red is stronger than the one he managed last season McAleer in left is ene of the star fielders of the country His catches yesterday were fine Joe Crotty behind the batter Wally Andrews on first and the old reliable Davy

Lord Echo Chas Phelps and Mr White of the American Legation Lady 00i111 Campbell and Oscitr Wilde Some critics complain of her general antateurislines and say that her voice Is sharp and metallic and

batty News says: "Mrs Potter has valuable gifts She has a Good presence mobile features and a clear resonant voice which varies in expression but her method is over-elaborate The audience sighed for a little repoee To sum up she has manifestly great capabilities but it is no less manifest that the injudicious friends who have heralded the experiment by great promises have done her an service The Telegraph agrees with the News and adds: "'The play was badly selected Mo Potter would have been seen to more advaitv is in a classical 'mimic poetical drama She is emotional imaginative and forcilde

Company anti Anton Bernard a gardener were 3 victims of an msault which resulted seriously for both and almost fatally for one The Baines of the assaulting parties were Jim and Bill Sanders and a partner of theirs whose name couldn't be learned From all accounts their action was unwarranted and repreheneible in the extreme Mr Bich and Mr Bernard were standing talking togetber when the three came up One put his hand in Mr Bernard's pocket aid ou being ordered to take II away reached in his owu pocket and gettiug some rocks jumped suddeuly on the umuspecting wan and commenced to beat him up He very probauly would have kilted the gardelier had not Mr Rich luterposed and pulled him away This kindled the belligereut's ire against Mr Rich and he made at once for that gentleman knocking him down The other two joined in the attack and belabored their aged victim with blows in a brutal manner The affair caused considerable sensation In the neighborhood where it occurred Marshall and Deputy Tom Hobson went Out and searched for the two Sanders and their vicious partner BUIE was found and carried to jail but released on We own recognizance with the lujunction to be on hand at the

hint Anton Bernard a gardener came up and aokett about a frame for a hot-house Witt a we were discussing the kind wanted three men whom I don't remember ever having seen before walked upend without saying anything stopped near us One ran his hand in Beruard'a pocket When Bernard resented the insult and told him to take his hand out the man jerked up some rocks and struck him in the heed He oommenced then beating him up at a fearful rate I pulled the fellow away and told him that he would kill Bernard if he didn't quit About that thus the other two Who had gone out came back and they all three jumped on me knocking me senseless to the floor What grudge or ill feeling they could possibly have against me I do not know" Mr Rich's head and face were badly bruised up Mr Rich is one of the beet known beet liked and moat peaceable citizens of Nashville Mr Bernard was more seriously hurt than his rescuer His injuries are confined mostly to his head and face The name of the third assailant

'hair YORK March Ilearald Bite morning says: The articlea In the Herald on the question of convict labor are being widely read by workingmen and the plan suggested of sending law breakers to Alitaka where they would not comrade withthe free labor Of the various Statee but still at the same time beneat the Government and themeelves has met with many warm intioraentente A reporter conversed with a number of prominent workingmen yesterday in regard to the matter and here are given some of their opinions: Jtunita Downing of the Exectiffve Board of District 75 said: "If the scheme of eendiug convicts to Alaska is adopted I aril in favor of having the convicts build railroads in the new country and letting the Goverument operate them The scheme proposed is the best thing I have ever heard of in regard to convict labor It will be a good thing for the various trades which have antlered in consequence of State prison competition anti will be a good thing for the cAeavicts themselves I am in favor of giving convicts a speedy trial and betidi theta immediately to Alaska" James Magee Master Workman of District Assembly 75 remarked that he had read the article anti considered the plan a most brilliant one "It will better serve to settle the question of convict labor" he mid "titan anything I have heard of yet It will also be a groat preventive of crime At present convicts look upon going to Slug Sing more as a picnic than a punishment but when convicts know that they are to be seat to Alaska for a critue it will make them think twice before they violate the law The scheme if colonization is proved to be a good thing by the histery of Australia The convicts have become better men and have been a profit to the State" James Quinn Master Workman of District Assembly CI said: "Tile great problem Is what to do vett the convicts It is necessary that they should labor but the avarice of inclividuals has put the convicts into the position of being used for personal gain when if their labor had been used for the general gocd they would have been employed on roads etc While this has not been done In the past there is no reason why it should not be done at present Any system will be better than the one which makes the convict the competitor of the workingman" Andrew Best Secretary of the Empire Protective Association stated that he thought Alaska was a tine country for convicts where they would be bettor off than inside prison walls A large number of them would undoubtedly settle on public lands and become respectable citizens and In a new country they would forget the past and leave their old lives behind them He favored the scheme in every particular Total84 5 9 27 82 Summary: Two base Andrews Crotty First base base on being hit by pitcher Black 1 by Bnidley

been recommended by the committee for passage and they were so manifestly just and equitable that they were passed by both houses almost unanimously There is no more imbortant post and the Speaker of the House could not have placed a man there that would have filled It more efficiently and conscientiously than Mr Moody has dem He has not introduced as many bills as some other members but by being
