COULDN'T HIT RISLEY.
Richmond's Poor Fielding nnd Er
rors Loose the Game.
Richmond, Vn., May 17. Ragged field
ing and Inability to hit Rlsley when
hits would 1m ve counted, lost the locals
a game today. Bishop was batted ficc
ly, but with tho suport usually given
he would have won. Ha: grove broke
the Ice in the eighth inning with a
home run drive to centre, and Seybold,
who batted for Bishop, got a two-bagger,
s-coilng a runner. Every run
Scranton made was through an error.

ELKS' MINSTRELS
A HUGE SUCCESS
LEADING CITIZENS AS BLACK
FACE ENTERTAINERS.
Lnrgo Audience at the Lyceum Sees
the Fun Makers Among the Popu
lar Elks Disport Themselves In
Old-Timo Minstrelsy Much That
Was Ludlciously Funny, but There
Was Much More That Was Artistic
and Clover No Audience the Ly
ceum Ever Held Laughed More.
If any one went to tho LMW tnln
stlels last night with the expectation
that he would hae to rely on ludriclty
for his laugh he was greatly nnd
ugreeably disappointed. Theie was
much in It, of course, that was up
toaiiously ludicrous. It wns Intended
that there should be. A local talent
minstrel show without It would be Hat,
stale and unprofitable. But this rcn
tute of the entertainment wns by no
means predominant. Some of tho num
bers weio of the professional standard,
and none of them that aimed at clev
erness were lacking In that quality.
One of them, tho competitive take
walk, was without question the best
thing of Its kind over presented hcie
The staging of th" peitonnuneo was
quite as elaborate as anything at
tempted by tho lending professional
companies and In everything that came
under tho score of the stage manager
there wns nothing amateurish. In
setting, costuming, arrangement of the
programme and nil that tort of thing
the show was particularly commend
able, nnd when It had concluded nt 11
o'clock there was nothing but the
warmest praise for the manager,
Thomas D. Vnn Osten.
THEATRE WAS P CKED.
NEery seat, box and logo in the
house wns tilled and ninny weie stand
ing in the rear and along the bides of
the parquet. It was a friendly audi
ence, of course, but it was also a thor
oughly amused uudl"nce H Is no rash
stutement to s.iy that more laughter
was neer crowded Into three hours In
the hlstoiy of the Lyceum.
To enumerate the noteworthy fea
tures would mean a lepetltlon of the
complete pi otri amine Some of them
moic than otheis might be mentioned
as having won especial applause. First

side-splitting to the danger limit but
artistic beyond all expectations.

vote of the audience the contest was
nai rowed down to the first two couples,
and finally Mi McCann and Mls-s
Ruddy weie awarded the take
Leo Coyne's specialty, "Hello, My
Baby," Thomas D. Van Osten's Im
pel sonation of Sousn, with the assist
ance of Bauer's band, nnd Mr. Klj's
whistling spee laity were the three par
ticularly clever numbcis. Mr. Coyne
and Mr, Van Osten were eaeh,recjl!od
three times and ut that the audience
wns not satisfied. Mr. Ely came on
unexpected and unannounced to take
tho place of 'Pianist Llnder, who at tho
last moment disappointed. He gave a
specialty that was fully ns clever as
his "Lazy Bill" In the Home mlnsttels.
THE TOPICAL SONGS.
In the topical songs Emit Schlmpff
and Will Welchel did most creditably.
Their hits were well put and they sang
with good effect. Large luscious bou
quets of rhubarb, radishes and other
fragrant spring-time garnlshlnus tied
with the most impossible-hued llbbons
were acknowledgements to the topical
songsters from ex-Sheriff Robinson's
box, where the Irrepressible "Billy"
Craig occupied a front seat.
The puiely musical numbers weie
lendered bj the Elks' quartette, John
T. Watklns, Phil Woiren, Dae
Stephens and John T Evans, and F,
C Hand and W, J. Alios The latter
two and Messrs. AVunen, Stephens and
Evans tendered ballads with chorus
accompaniment. It Is only necessary
to say that the chorus singing was one
of the most prnlsewoithy features of
tho whole entertainment. Th ability
of the soloists Is too well known to
need mention.
"Dave" Reedy's monologue was
bils'tllng with happy lilts, and was
cleverly done. Chailes A. Haitlej's
ventrlloqulcnl contilbution to the fun
tund was one of tho most liberal of
the evening. The finale to the (list
pnrt, "roily McGllllgan's Band." was
positively bad, bat ns it was intended
to be such. It must be recorded ns
being the most eminently successful
thing of the evening Buck dancing

"school" It Is proposed to spend for
buildings, plant, etc., an Initial sum of
JS2.000, some J17.G00 ot which will be
contributed by the colonial office, the
annual cost of maintenance being esti
mated at $15,000 At the new school,
civilians who nie graduates of existing

the origin of ttoplcal diseases, with a
view to developing Impiovcd methods
of prevention and cure. Both objects

that phslcians and surgeons going to

Medical sclenco has recently assumed
an aggtesslve attitude toward the
pioblem of tropical disease. A number
of English, Coinum and Austrian bac
teilologlsts and phvslolans have icsld
ed In India and Africa for the e.xpiess
purpose of studvlng cholera, bubonic
plague, llnderpest and mal.ulal dis
eases. Pieventlves ot icmedles, an
tilogous to those devised foi the tieat
nient of smallpox, anthtax. dlphtheila,
etc. will, it Is believed, be ultimately
found for the maladies which icndei a
huge part of the c.iith virtually un
inhabitable for Euiopeans Large at

American und Spanish students to the
genesis of jcllovv fever, in the hope of
depth lug that pest also of its ten, rs
To a certain extent success has aheadv
licen attained. Rinderpest has been
brought under contiol, with important
results for the cattle Interests of South
Africa. Cliolei.i and the plague have
each been confronted with a virus In
oculation with which Is said tn afford
Piotection und hasten iccoveiy. It
seems to be definitely ascertained that
the bite of tho mosquito implants in its
Mellms system the poison that causes
maluilal diseases. Much, howevet, ic

diseases of hot climates.
Physicians nowadajs, in ,ew of their
many vietoiies over feveis of vailous
Kinds, uro no longer content to accept,
tiopleal pests as gifts of Providence,
to lie iccelved meekly along with the
weather as inevitable lesults of the
latitude. They look foiwaul to a time
when vast legions of the globe now
deseil, or inhabited only by inferior
lates, will affoul safe homes for the
people of tempeiate climates Malarial
levers at ptesent render untenable wide
mens of fertile soil. An effective pie
vcntlve, supplementing quinine, will
open to settlement extensive regions In
Central and South America, Cuba,
Afilen, southern Italy, the Euphrates
valley, India, the East Indies, New
Guinea, Tonklng, etc. The productive
capacity of the globe would be doubled
by a medical discovery that dealt suc
cessfully with miasmatic fevers alone.
Thepioposed "school of tropical medi
cine" is to bo welcomed, thereto! e, as
a first step of a concerted movement
for the solution of the most important
medical problem of our day. Geunany

rival English enterprise in industry
and foielgn commerce, and have te
cently acuited tropical possessions

Athletes Have Done Away with
tho Soulful Parlor Maiden.
Fiom the Now Oi leans Picayune.
In the past when a joung man went'
a-couitlng he dicssed in his best, wear
ing not only his company clothes, but
his companj manners. The glti, on
the cither hand, was powdered ' and
ci Imped out or nil eveiydny knowing,
and thev sat and talked of soulful
things and didn't find out a bit mote
of each othei's leal selves than if one
had been In the Klondike and the other
on the equator. Neither was conscious
ly trjlng to deceive the other, but. nil
the same, alter they were man led
there were many eiuol disillusion
ments. To tho new fad for athletics for wo
men wo owe a change Tho girl who
goes out a-w heeling with her beau and
tnkis the lain and sun nnd dust and
w ind and tan may not be a dlvinlt j to
him like tho pailor maiden, but she is
a human gltl, and he has a chnnte to
know her and Judge her on that basis
If sho still appeals beautiful to him
nnd hu Is still In love with hot, she has
nothing to tear Horn fading good looks
or wearing cuil papeis nnd wrnppeis
to bicakfast; wlillo if bo still appears
heiolc to her in knickerbockers and a
sunburnt noso sho jnay rest satisfied
that her love Is founded on a rock that
nothing can shake.
Asldo fiom this view of tho subject
Is the fat ninio Important one of rhar
nctei. A womnn's parlor views of life
may bo meiely theories that sho lacks
the strength und coinage to put into
uctuat practice, and hence utteily
woithless. Tho leal way to know u
woman is to go on an outing with her.
If she can bo cheerful in the face of
difficulties and cun makii allow aiiccs
for mistakes and fa I lines, if she can
ne-cept a substitute for the thing she
wants with good giate, then. Indeed,
she Is of the kind und qualltj that will
make her companionship a lifelong
pleasuie and benefit.
The woman, on her pan, has an
equally good chance to study a mail
She sees him off his guai d, when lie Is
no longer trjlng tn be a Pilnee Chai til
ing. It Is one thine to spring to phk
up a ladv's Immlkei chief in a pailor
it Is another to stay his lxu-o all da
to keen near a woman who Is a pour
lldei. That is the teal chivaliv n un
man may tiust to protect her In the
pro
T
day of slikness audt mlsfoitune and
would be patient nJfl foibcuilug with
her weaknesses.
