(ieorite W. Uray.
Many expressions of regret at the death
of George \V. Gray, an employe of the
District, were heard at the District build
ing yesterday. Assessor Darnellle and Dis
bursing Officer Rogers. In whose offices

residence together to extend their sym
pathy to his wife.
The funeral took place thla afternoon at
.1 o'clock from the Second Baptist Church
(colored). Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, pastor,
officiated. Several handsome floral pieces
were sent to the residence of Mr. Gray
bearing the cards of District officials. A
number of fraternal organisations, of which
the deceased was a member, attended the
funeral In a body.
Gray's honesty proverbial. He was
trusted with the transmission of money
very frequently, and in cleaning the rooms
at night often found money which he In
variably turned iv* to the proper authori
ties the next day.
Gray's place will be filled by the promo
tion of Samuel Bates, an elevator conduc
tor in the building.

SPORTS IN GENERAL
Where They Play Today.
Chicago at Washington.
Cleveland at Philadelphia.
Detroit at Baltimore.
Milwaukee at Boston.
The opening game of the present series
at American Park yesterday between the
Washington and Chicago clubs proved a
victory for the Senators by the score of
5 to 2.
"Wee Willie" Carrick dispelled the idea
that he could win no more games this sea
son, on acount of the "hoodoo" that had
overtaken him, by pitching a masterful
contest from beginning to end and Anally
landing a victory'. Outside of the batting
by the Senators, Carrick has no one to
thank for the victory but himself, as sev
eral of the Senators were guilty of poor
base running and failed to field up to the
high mark they have set at different times.
Several times line drives went to the out
field and were momentarily fumbled, but
the Senatorial runners were not wide
awake and failed to take advantage of the
opportunities to secure additional bases.
Michael Angelo Grady shared honors
with Carrick on account of a magnificent
drive over the left field fence, which nett'??l
two runs. Grady has been owing Ban
Johnson many base hits of late on account
of his injuries, but he was due yesterday,
and the way he swiped one of Mr. Pat
terson's curves was highly exhilarating.
Manager Manning decided on drastic
measures after the poor exhibition of ball
playing in the second game Saturday, and
had all the Senators out for a hard two
hours' practice yesterday morning. This ex
tra work seemed to do them good, and the
men will probably continue at it until the
end of the season.
"Pop" Foster arrived in Washington yes
terday morning, and as it had been decided
to play Grady >n first, his coming was
most opportune. With a two weeks' lay off.
Foster went into left field and' put up a
splendid exhibition, making several hard
and timely catches, while at the bat he hit
the ball hard.
Patterson served up the ball for the White
Sox and seemed to have all his speed and
command, but the Senators rapped out
their "bingles" at opportune times, and the
timely batting is what drove runs over the
plate. The fielding back of Patterson was
all that could be desired, one play in par
ticular by Isbell shutting off at least a
triple and two runs. With two on oases,
Dungan sent a terrific drive over first, as
only Samuel can, but the big white-haired
first baseman knocked down the ball t nd
then fielded It to Patterson in time to retire
the runner. The play was of such a sen
sational character as to call forth un
stinted praise from the spectators.
Neither side scored in the first, but In
the second inning the Senators got two runs
over the plate. Grady was passed to first
and Foster placed a single in left. Cough
lin tried for a sacrifice, but he bullded bet
ter than he knew, as both Isbell and Pat
terson went after the ball, leaving first un
covered and the batter was safe, filling the
bfses. The Incident seemed to unnerve
Patterson for a time, as he sent Clingman
to first on balls, forcing home Grady. Car
rick then struck out, but Waldron sent a
long fly to Hoy, and Foster scored on the
out.
In the seventh Washington hung up
three more tallies. Farrell led off with a
single toward second and Dungan tried to
sacrifice, but popped up a little fly to Pat
terson. Clarke hit a hot one to Mertes,
who passed the ball to Shugert on second,
ki'.llng off Farrell. With two out Grady
sent a long fly over the left field fence for
a home run, Clarke crossing the plate
ahead of him. Foster followed with a
double to left and Mercer tripled to deep
right center, scoring Foster. Clingman
cksed the inning by being called out on
strikes.
In the eighth Chicago broke the ice, get
ting the two runs credited to them in the
game. After Hoy had filed out, Jones sin
gled to left, but Mertes forced the lat
ter at second on a grounder to Carrick.
Hartman hit a hard one Into center, which
Waldron made a good try for, but the
sphere got by him, and the hit w?nt down
as a triple, Mertes scoring. McFarland
then beat out a bunt, and while the Sena
tors were trying to retire him at first,
Hartman crossed the plate.
Fmpire Haskell had his troubles yester
day, several of his decisions being close
enough to be Irritating to both sides, and
aa Burke and Coughlin loudly protested,
the former was sent to the gates, while
the latter was put out of the game, Mercer
taking his place at third. Score:

HABSK?Sr RACES.
Grand Clrenlt Meet Opened at Read
vllle Yesterday.
The grand circuit annual meeting at
Roadville, Mass., ha<J an auspicious open
ing yesterday under the patronage of the
New England Horse Breeders' Association.
There were four events on the card and the
attendance was larger than usual for a
starting day.
Naturally the talent followed the 2:30 trot
more closely than the other events. This
race was for the Blue Hill stake of $3,000.
In this event Country Jay, the Kentucky
gelding, was the favorite, and won easily
in straight heats.
The prettiest racing of the day, however,
was in the 2.16 pace, which, although won
by Shorty, F. H. Reynolds' gelding, in two
straight heats, did not fall to the chestnut
without a struggle with Agnes Le May, a
fast rival in the first heat, and Ellio, a
dangerous competitor in the second.
The 2.13 pace was taken handily by Ju
nero, the black mare from Albany, who
badly defeated the favorites. Special Boy
and Belle Cannon.
A drizzling rain prevented the finishing
of the 2.25 class trot. Four heats were
trotted, however, with two good for Alberta
D., the bay gelding, who proved that he
has something of the "M. and M." caliber.
The gelding held high place In the pool
from the first, with Easter second, and the
field against both of them. The track was
In a fair condition.
Censns Office Again Win*.
The team from the census office added
another game to their already long list of
victories yesterday by defeating the nine
from the government printing office by 8 to
3. The census men put up a good game in
the field and at the bat, outplaying their
opponents at both stages of the game.
Ashley was on the rubber for the printers
and did _well for two innings, during which
his opponents only secured one run, but
in the third inning he went up into the air
long enough to allow them to score five
runs. After this fatal inning he settled
down and the best the printers could do
was to score two runs In the eighth inning
through the bunching of several safe hits.
Fulcher, who served the sphere for the
census men, had his opponents at his mer
cy, allowing but seven drives to go into
safe territory and was the cause of the
printers fanning the air ten times. The
only time^he printers were able to do any
thing with Fulcher's curves was in the
first and fifth innings, when they scored
one and two runs, respectively.
Amateur Base Hall.
The St. Elizabeth base ball team defeat
ed the team from the geological survey on
the asylum grounds Saturday by the score
of 14 to 9. The game was a poor exhibi
tion of ball playing, both teams making
numerous errors. Up to the seventh in
ning the visitors had practically won the
game, but by goad stick work the asylum
boys managed to turn defeat into victory.
The feature of the game was a fast double
play by Wahlen to Sullivan to Cary. The
batteries were Reamer. Wahle-r and Suit
for the asylum team and Torney and Bishop
for the visitors.
The Crawfords Rave , organized, being
composed mostly qX members of the for

The Parsons base ball; team defeated the
Arions of Washington two out of a series
of three games at parsons by the scores of
25 to 1 and 11 to 1, then were defeated by
8 to 7. The features of the games were
all-around playing of Cleveland, the one
armed man, and Hofmann, who accepted
thirty-seven chances, in left field. In the
three games without an error.
The Invinclbles defeated the Glynionts in
an Interesting game by ? to 1. The fea
tures of the game were the superb fielding
and batting of Cuibertson and W. Work.

Jimmy Michael BrcpUs Records.
Indoor cycle racing at Madison Square
Garden, New York, last night attracted
over 5,000 spectators to the big building.
The principal event on the card was a 15
mile motor-paced match race between
"Jimmy" Michael and Floyd McFarland.
Michael won easily, finishing eight laps
ahead of McFarland on the 10-lap-to-the
mile track. From the first to the eighth
mile Michael set such a terrific pace that
he broke all previous indoor records, Mc
Farland frequently losing pace in a vain
endeavor to keep up with the flying Welsh
rider.
McFarland's pacing machine broke down

Base Rail Notes.
Chicago again today
Lee and Katoll will probably pitch.
The Senators' pitchers are rounding into
winning form. Carrick certainly did him
self proud yesterdai'.'
"Pop" Foster's rtfturd' to the game was
by the brilliant rqqte. ', ^e "e'ded sensa
tionally and appeared to be very fast on
his feet.
Billy Cllngman trttfk care of all his eight
chances in clever ostyltj, and started sev
eral fast double plays. filly's timeiy sin
gle should not be forgotten.
The Senators lofdked strong yesterday
with Grady on 'Ir.-tt bade and Foster back
in left. This combination will probably
hold together for -ths pest of the season
unless some one .;alB hurt.
Little Waldron made k gallant try for
Hartman's liner into center and he should
not be censured beoiuse the ball got away
from hi'm. The lua.v demonstrated that
Waldron isn't afraid to take a chance for
a possible out.
Jack Farrell certainly had a busy day,
the grounders goiy^; at,.him persistently.
He had ten* chanceg ana managed to take
all but two of tSiem. In double playa
Jack's work belongs in the double-linger
class.
If the American League umpires wou d
distribute fines more promiscuously among
the players for protesting their decisions,
it would keep them in line. If there Is
anything a ball player dislikes it is to find
his salary short ten or twenty dollars on
pay day.
Tlie Pittsburg club is working the "lim
ited players" rule n'cely. The Pirates con
tinue to carry too many pien. but by tak
ing turns in giving the different p'ayers
ten days' notice of release, and then re
signing them, they manage to keep within
the letter of the law. Carr Is the latest
release handed out. while it Is. known that
there is no intention of letting the young
fellow go.
If th^ Senators could only pull themselves
together from now on a great finish of the
season la In sight. The twirlers can be de
pended upon to pitch" good brill und a lit
tle batting and accurate fielding will land
many a game these days.

Firth Market?Briefs.
The Treasury Department, under whose
control the enforcing of- the navigation
laws of the country is placed, is very vigi
lant In seeing that the regulations govern
ing steam and sailing vessels are obeyed
to the letter, and when an infraction Is
made known the severest penalties are en
forced. Recently the steamer Thomas L.
Worthley, which runs excursions from Bal
timore to Rock 2reek, was reported to the
Inspectors for carrying ninety passengers
in excess of 000, the number she was al
lowed. The charge was Investigated and
found to be true, and the owners of the
steamer had to pay a line of $100 before
the boat could make a trip.
The four-masted schooner Edith G. Fol
well, which arrived in port yesterday,
brings a cargo of asphalt from the Port of
Spain for the Barber Asphalt Company of
Georgetown. In consequence of having
sailed on one cour3e in a hot climate for a
long time, the asphalt softened and ran to
one side, and the schooner came into port
with a heavy list. Yesteruay the Balti
more utg Sarah started up to Georgetown
with the schooner, but about two hundred
yards wbove Long bridge, after passing
through the draw, she ran "aground and
was still there this morning. It is thought
a part of her cargo will have to be re
moved before she can go up to the wharf
at Georgetown.
The demand for fish at the 11th street
wharf market this morning was not heavy,
and the supply received by the dealers
from the fishermen in the lower Chesapeake

ages. The supply from the nets in t he
river was small. Prices this morning were:
For gray trout, $2.50 to $3 per barrel; but
ter fish, $2 to $2.50 per barrel; croakers. 2c.
per pound; rock, pan, 5c. to 8c. per pound;
rock boiling, 10c. to 12^c. per pound; white

to 10c. per pound; sea bass. 3c. to 5c. per
pound; catfish, 20c. to 3<>c. per bunch; eels,
25c. to 30c. per bunch; porgies, 15c. to 25c.
each; drum. 25c. to 30c. each; carp, 15c. to
25c. each, and hard crabs. $1 to $1.50 per
barrel, according to size and quality.
There is a very full supply of water
melons from Maryland and Virginia points
at the 11th street wharf today, about 100,
000 being on hand. The market is poor
and the demand is very light, and in con
sequence prices have dropped about $1 per
hundred. This morning selected melons
sold at $13 to $15; prime at $4 to $8, and
culls at $1 to $3 per hundred.

mpved from the cargo of the schooner Mal
colm B. Seavey, and an effort was made to
put her into the dock at Wm. A. Smoot &
Co.'s wharf at Alexandria yesterday, but
her bow took the mud Just at the entrance
to the dock and she stuck fast. She will
have to be further lightened before she can
be moved.
The tug J. T. Selectman, with three
scows and digger No. 3 of the National
Sand Dredging Company of this city in

of kidney disease. If

Bladder troubles most always result from
a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is
obtained quickest by a proper treatment of
the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you
can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and scald
ing pain in passing it. and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled to
go often during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold
