Athletics 11 Louisville I) St. Louis. 11 Washington.. 2 Columbus St Baltimore 3 BoMon 5 Cincinnati.. . 1 It is now becoming a sure sign of rain when Johnny Ward and hi Brooklyn team of ball jilaj er land hero. They arrived in the city yesterdaj amid the bet-t of weather, and before they had time to be beaten by our fluceers one of the heaviest thunder showers that has been seen here for a long time fell and vetoed the ball game." When these Brooklyn were last here they also brought the most miserable kind of wet weather. It would be unsafe to say how matters would have ended in yesterday's game had it been continued to the end. It was nearly a game. as the fifth inning was commenced and Old Sport Galvin had struck out. The Brooklyns were four and tho home players three, and that fact might have led the spectators to think the visitors would have been winners had tne inning been played out. But it is hard to say what the inning would have yielded. A Very Slim Crowd. Dcipite tho line weather that obtained before the game started there were only about 9! people in the park and this would go to show that the cranks are becoming a little weary of the business. Something is needed to stir up an enthusiasm or at least to try and stir up a lively spirit. The direc tors of the club yesterdaj- met, it was stated, to take some heroic action, but us usual, in Miine way or other, they were appnrently jioouwinKeu, uecause "noining our routine business, was transacted." That's what was reported from the meeting. This is un-loi-tunate, particularly for the club stock holders, as when they fail to display nerve and deal with affairs in a courageous man ner the public will have loss regard for them. It must, therefore be taken for granted. Judging lrom what the directors aid yesterday, that the team are still under as many managers as ever. The four innings that were played In yes terday's contest caused scarcely "any excite ment at all. The home plajers started out in a way that led people to believe that they were going to knock Lovett out of the box. Miller led off with a two-baggerto right cen ter and scored on a splendid single by Beck ley in the same direction. In the second inning after Retlly was out Galvin and Mil ler were each sent to first on balls. Singles byBeckleyand Bierbauer scored tho two rims. Ward's life hit and singles by Foutz and O'Brien scored the first run for the Brook lyn and Kinslow's life hit, and two long singles by Lovett and Collins scored the pair of tallies in the i-econd inning. In the fourth inning Kinslow reached first on a pardona ble fumble by Shugartaudscoredona three bagger by Ward. Nt Good Showing. The Brooklyns are the last team that will be here during this series of Eastern teams in the West, and so far the home players have won only two games. At first sight that appears to be n very wretched showing, but only eight games have been played. But it is fair to say that the team have on the whole played better ball during these eight games than they did for a very long time previous. For instance, on Julv 4 the home team should have won both games quite comfortably had it not been for two or three mistakes by Miller. And Miller's retention in the infield so long after it was seen that he was out of place w as one of tho-e persistent stupidities for which the ruling power of the local club has been re markable, and still the directors seem to be happy. It may ucthar themillstoneof over management that has been fastened to the neck of the team has done too mu -h mis fhiel now to be remedied tins year: but the players are all in good humor, and if there is a chance ot their finding out who is "boss" and from whom the are to expect their definite Instructions und admonitions thev may yet cause the Imsctiall world to look with amazement at some very remarkable lichicvements.

In this city there was an impossing procession of the Alsace-Lorraine Societies. The latter marched from the place Do la Concorde, headed by bands of music. Enormous crowds of pcoplo assembled In the streets through which the procession passed, and saluted tho men in line with cries of "Vive la France." Tho procession stopped at tho Strasburg statue and laid memorial wreaths, bouquets and tri-color flags upon it. There was no disturbance of tho peace. President Carnot held a grand reception while reviewing the troops com prising the garrison of Paris. The Celebration Began on Sunday. But Parsians did not await the arrival of July K to begin the celebration of thcgicat event with which that date is indissolubly associated the lull of the Bastile. The cele bration began on Sunday, with the general conference of the United Societies of French Military instruction, Inch was held in tho garden of tho Tuilleries. Yesterday it was continued, when President Carnot, in ac cordance with the Municipal Council of Paris, delivered an address on tho occasion of tho opening for public use of the new Avenue De La ltcpubhquc. -n enormous ciowd was present to greet the President, who delivered an oration eloquently eulogistic of the triumphs ofRc publicanlsm in France. It as here that tho sensational attempt of a madman to assas sinate M. Carnot occurred. It is conceded that had tho crowd been a less unwieldly one, or the police for a moment laggard, the would-be murderer would havo been torn to pieces.

A proposal to grant the Standard Oil Company a ten-years leaso of sites at Botterdam and Antwerp for the erection of oil tunks ha been discussed by the municipal authorities. The Chambre de Commerce et Fabrlques supported the pro posal. Several commercial houses presented a petition in favor of the rejection of the proposal, on the ground that the leaso would assist the Standard Oil monopoly and piove injurious to retailers and general con sumers. The Amsterdam Petroleum Harbor Com panv, which is npv using part of tho land to lie included in the proposed leaso. espec ially opposed tne proposal, urging that the Standard was its principal client; that if the btandaru obtained the hind it would honcctortli mannge its own business, and that if the Council acceded to the proposal the leaso ought to be coupled with the pur chase of the tanks, the Harbor company transferring them to the Standard. The Council rejected the motion for a temporary refusal of the grant, and postponed decision on the main question. MBS.

A RUSSIAN PACKING COMPANY SELL ING BACON TO GERaiANY For a Less Price Than the Freight on Amer ican Meat Amounts To Favored by the Government Secrets of the Trade Learned by Spies. BT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. Losdox, July 14. In nn interview to-day tho Secretary of the Russian Bacon Com pany, whioh has recently established markets in London, Hamburg, Havre and Barcelona, stated that the company was confident that it wouldoust American bacon from the European markot. Germany and France, whioh disfavor tho Americanartlclo, not only permit but encourage the sale of Russian bacon within their territory. The Secretary gavo an interesting history of the inception and growth of tho now en terprise. Somo time ago 20 expert work men were sent by Bussla to Chicago, Omaha and Kansas City, who obtained employment In the great packing houses of those cities, and managed to learn a good deal about the general status and methods of the business in America. In duo time these men re turned home and made their reports, and upon the strength of their representations tho Government proceeded to erect an im mense factory near Graizl, 200 miles from Moscow, at a cost of $150,G0D, and leased it at n nominal figure to the company for two years. The Government also afforded tJio company special railway facilities, whereby it is able to deliver its product in London in ten day;) at 9 ponce per HO weight less than tliu freight costs from Chicago. Deliveries are made in Hamburg in seven days. Tiio company employs 15 Irish dressers, w ho receive jE2 u week. A host of other em ployes, all Russians, receive but 9 pence per day, so that the cost of labor is much less than in tho American cities. Graizi is situ ated in the center of a pleasant farming country, and commands a product of 18 000, 000 hogs immediately, with donble that num ber in prospect for tho near future. The company will open markets in all the Im portant cities of Enrope soon. Tho com pany's bncon sold in the London market to day at 41s per hundred woight. AMERICAN MUSIC THE BEST. The Mass Not So Artistic as the German, bnt Our Professors Ahead. Berlin, July 14. Walter Damrosch hPS left Berlin for Bayreuth. Ho expects to spend the entire month at Bayreuth to study the rehearsals and performances of tho Wagneropcras. To a press correspondent Mr Damrosch said that his principal object in coming to Germany was to socure a concert mastor for his symphony orchestra. "Our musicians are, as a rule, superior to those of Germany," said Mr. Damrosch. "The average musician hero gets $30 a week, while in New York he gets $130. In conse quence, tho best men flock to America. Our musical union is doing good work in keep ing up the prices, but I think they make a mistnke in compelling a musician to live six months in America before ho can prac tice his profession. It happens occasionally that players of a certain instrument and of sufficient ability cannot be procured in America. A miisician must tiion bo im ported, and should "he allowed to earn his living as soon as he lands. The hotter class of tho musical union are even now in favor of a repeal of the six months' law." "What do you think of music in Berlin?" "It seems to me," said Mr. Damrosch, "that yon have too much music in Germany: that it has become mediocre. Wherever you go vou find the inevitable biass or string band." "But you have heard little of German music, coming so late In tho seuson." "Well, I have the Tom Kunstler festival, the Singing Academy festival and others, but though you havo great artists in Ger many the ensemble is poor. Wo Americans demand much moro from each Individual member. Our people are not all musical, but those who aro are much more highly cultivated than the average German." The Watch Trust Still Lives. New York, July It. The report from Chi cago that the Jobbers' Association of Manu facturers of American Watches, known as the Watch Trust, has been dissolved, aud that the immedlato cause was the with drawal of the Elgin Watch Company from the association, is donied by James II.

The success of Mrs. Annie M. Beam, of McKeesport, Pa., in the treatment of dinrrhuoa in her children will undoubtedly be of interest to many mothers. She says: "I spent several weeks in .Tnhnstown, Pa., after the great flood, on account of my hus band being employed there. AVe had sev eral children with us, two of whom took the diarrhoea.very badly. I got some of Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhsa Kemedv from Kcv. 3Ir. Chapman. It cured both of them.

CITING JESULTS Showing the Power of Electricity for the Curing of Disease WHEN SKILLFULLY APPLIED The Difference Between Scientific and Unskillful Methods. VARIOUS NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS On the History and Uses of Electro-Therapeutics The Difference Between 'Rnbhing Doctors' and Scientists. INFORMATION OF STRIKING INTEREST Copyrighted. It is interesting to notice that the scienco ofelcctro-therapentics,whiclinowcommands some of the best skill and brains of the pro fession and Is represented in Pittsburg by such thoroughly scientific physicians as those of the Electropathic Institute, had like all of the great sciences and some of the great religions a vory humble origin. It is said that centuries ago the inhabitants of West Africa were accustomed to dlD their sick children in WRter where lay the electric fish called the torpedo. As late as the eighteenth century priests and paupers, monks and mountebanks were the leading authorities on this subject, the priests hon estly seeking to cure mankind with their accidental discoveries, the mountebanks striving, as they still do. to bewilder and deceive tho public with their dangerous mixture of imperfect knowledgo and low cunning. PHILOSOPHER AND FOOL wero then pretty nearly on the same level, with the advantage on tho side of tho fool, be cause through the very excess of his ignor ance he dared and ventured where the phil osopher knew just enough to fear to tread. Then, as to-day, howover, wo are forced to admit that marvelous results were obtained by mountebanks, quacks and emphics, re sults that only intensify the vast valuo and power of electricity in curing disease. Bat tho troublo with the work of such men is, that through their ignorance of the laws of electricity itself, no less than through their ignorance of the lmman body, thc make serious and dangerous mistakes. Where in one case they aolilcvo a success, in a vast number of cases they do incalcnable harm. In tho hands of such men, electricity is an. .uncertain and even dangerous power. In the hands of mon who are trained physi cians and educated and experienced elec trical exDcrts as well, it beconjes the safest, surestrfuid most potent agent ;or relieving suffering and healing disease that modern science has developed and brought into per fect use. Its simple naturalness and harmlessness when properly applied is well shown by the fact that children and weak women arc the most tolerant to Its use. Compared with the violent action of many of the drugs which it is supplanting, it comes like a gift of nature protesting against thohabituai derangement of tho system by noxious poisons taken through the stomach. To obtain desired results from medicines drugs must bo carried through tho body. To confine their action to any on8 point Is impossible. Electricity can be localized to a muscle or nerve or any one organ. .. We obtain from electricity permanent tonic nnd sedative effects that are far more wonderful even than its primary stimulat ing effects. It must bo borne in mind that it supplants by Its superiority ns a remodial agent the use of many drugs. It is not a specific. As quinine is not a specific forany disease unless it bo chills nnd fever yet it Is used freely as a tonlcin un indefinite num ber of diseases. So electricity Is effective of onderful results in any disease where local or general nutrition is Impaired. Is there any nncertalnty abont the use of electricity by skillful physicians? No. Its effects are simple, less complicated and more natural than those of drugs. We know more of tho rationale of electricity to-day than of that of any agency used for the cure of disease. We are not speaking now of those who annly electricity aftcrthe manner of nurses and "rubbing doctors." They do not use, but abuse it. We are sneaking of Its use by the skillfully trained physicians and electrical experts 01 cue i-.icciropiuiiic insti tute. In nervous diseases someauthorltics main tain that electricityaccomplishesits most brilliant results. We believe, however, that this is because the results in nervous dis eases are often the most immediate and ap parent, and because) a good result is assured in almost overy case of this class of troubles. The results in our experience which have seemed the most remarkable havo been in cases of paralysis, chronic rheumatism and consumption, which have been pronounced incurable nnd given up to die. .' Are the physicians of the Electropathic Institute specialists? No. That wofully abused word, which has from time im memorial served as a cloak for nnntterahlo and Infinite humbug, can hardly be applied to them. They are not specialists. Scientific electro-therapeutics lequires a scientific diagnosis, a knowledge of diseaso, roqnircs scientific application of electricity, a know 1 edge of the forces, laws and best methods and appliances of electricity. These re quirements lead into every department of medicine and surgery ns ell ot meclinnic.il electrization. It will he seen that the word specialist is not a broad enough term to apply. j I There Is as much difference Iwtween a 1 skillful and an awkward application of eloc- I tricity as there is between a skillful and an awkward operation iu. surgery. By the skillful operator and trained physician the element of pain is entirely avoided. The scientist Knows that the hest results are ob tained with a mild current, and in nervous dyspepsia, sleeplessness, mental depression, hypocondriasts, locomotor ataxia, muscular atrophy, and the vast varieties of neuralgia, tho treatment is the most mild and delicate imaginable, a gratifying change from the severe and drn.stic treatment by drugs. With those who having held two sponges to a patient, forthwith announce them selves ns electro-therapeutists, the physicians of the Electropathic Insti tute, have nothing in common. These are the men that bring discredit upon the scienco both with siho pro fession and the public, by overdoing the applications, not only in strength, but in length and frequency, by treating nil cases alike by rontlne mechanical applications, regardless either of the disease or the pecu liarities of the patient. Tho usage of elec tricity is a special study of the greatest practical Importance, the difference In re sult between a very gentlo and short appli cation and a strong and protracted one be-' ing all the difference between agreeable suc cess and very pulnfnl failure. To distin guish between the various gradations that lie between tolerance and susceptibility is tho business of a scientist, not of a mounte bank or a triflex.
