tho New Jlerlhi ftiuo on Saturday in
Israel Bachman's field near town.
As had boon anticipated, tho game
was a ono-sidd affair. New Berlin

Considering tw fact s that New Ber
lin has bn '.organized for three
years and liVvinfc beaten both
Mitllinburg and beliusgiovo toams
this year while (he homo team prac
ticed ouly a ( times, the defeat is
nnl fin inglorioua one. Tho defeat
will hurt no One, but will servo to
show how much more practice is
required. Th"Nw Borlin boys
played a very honorable game and
will bo royally eloomed at any fut
ure time when the homo team is bet
ter prepared to tueel them. Tho Mid
dleburghers did some good playing
among others two double plays
were made. A great deal of loose
playing and aousideraUe fumbling
was done and that accounts for tho
largo score.

suggestion : The Summer's adver
tising can lie made profitable if
proper precaution aud skill bo ex
ercised in conducting it. The poo
ple are ready to avail themselves of
offers which appear to presont
means of economizing. And the
merchant who will advertiso an
article that is really serviceable, at
a price consistent with the times,
will find that he will get a good

The man who fails to advertiso this

The faculty of Missionary Insti
tute has been enlarged and revised.
A chair of natural sciences has been
created and Robert N. Hurtmau Ph.
D., of John Hopkins University, has
been elected to fill the osition. Rev.
J. M. Hantz A. M., lately of North

The addition of a now chair of sci

to allow specialties, together with
the conveniences of a now building,
will groatly enhance the utility of
this institution. It now has a com
plete college course, and confers tho

MiFr'Lisiiuiui Wateii Wohks. The
Mitllinburg water works fight still
continues. The end does not seem
any nearer than it was a month ago.
Tho throe Councilmou, who still
persist in voting against water
works when tho bono and sinew of
tho town aro praying and petition
ing for water works, aro not ouly
neglecting to do their duty, but are
standing in tho way of progressive
movements. Every towu has its
croakers and moss-backs and tho
progressive citizens of Mifllin'ourg
are not afraid to toll the outsido
world who they aro. Councilman Mil
lor has placed himself on record by
saying: "A majority of the petitioners
for water works are paupers." The
Telegraph meets this by saying that
it will pay the tax of every "paupor"
Councilman Millor finds ou tho pe
tition for water sorvico for tho next
ten years. It is not pleasant to
have a towu fight, but where tho
merits of tho case aro so dourly
shown, publio censuro and rebuke
should bo unrelentingly adminis
tered and we are not certain that
even this would be ainplo penalty.
