The game of ball at tbe home park
last Sunday between the Alliance team
and a picked up nine drew a fair sized
crowd and was full of fun so far as
comical plays and stunts were concern
ed, but to call it a ball game would be
a misnbrrter of the national sport. Tbe
score was 16 to 5 in favor of the best
team, of course. "Muggins" and Pedro
acted as battery for the scrubs while
Steele and Freer held down their op
ponents to 5 runs.
The next game will be played here
next Sunday with the Maywood team,
which hails from Furnas county and
comes with the reputation that they
are invincible. Well, that being the
case, we may look lor a lively stunt as
the Alliance team is in that same class
and perhaps this time they will have a
game worthy their mettle.
Mort Smith of Bridgeport was in the
city yesterday to confer with the local
base ball management for the purpose
of forming a series of games between
Sterling, Bridgeport, Sidney and Al
liance. This would make an interest
ing feature. The compact will be com
pleted and the dates for the games an
nounced later.

A JUBILEE JOKE.
Lady
Churchill's Bustle That Played
"God Save the Queen."
Everything thnttyear (Queen Victo
ria's Jubilee year)' was dubbed "Jubi
lee," from knights and babies to hats
and coats. "God Save the Queen" was
hoard nd nauscnm on every conceiva
ble oecaslou until the tune became
an obsession. This led to a practical
Joko at tho custle which caused much
amusement One morning, speaking
of the jubilee craze, I pretended that I
had received as an advertisement a
"Jubilee bustle," which would play
"God Save the Queen" when tho wear
er bat down. This, of course, created
much curiosity and laughter. Having
promised to put It on, I took my hts
info my confidence. An nld-de-camp
was pressed into the service and armed
with a small musical bos was inado to
hide under a particular armchair.
While the company was nt luncheon I
retired to don the bo called "Jubilee
wonder," and when they were all as
sembled I marched in solemnly and
slowly sat down on the armchair
where the poor ald-do-camp waB hiding
his cramped limbs. To the delight and
astonishment of every one tho national
anthem was heard gently tinkling
forth. Every time I rose It stopped;
every time I sat down it began again.
I Btlll laugh when I think of it and of
the astonished faces about me. "Rem

A GREAT STATESMAN.
Humorous Incident of Gladstone's
Rl-
valry With Disraeli.
An anecdote of Gladstone at the time
of his greatest rivalry with Disraeli Is
often retold. At a dinner party the
subject of Judaism cropped up.
"Admitted," said Gladstone, "that
the Hebrews have given tho world a
philosopher In Spinoza, musicians In
Mendelssohn and Meyerbeer, u poet in
Heine, the fact remains that they
have not produced a single statesman."
There was silence for a moment. Ev
ery oue knew of courso that this was
a direct allusion to Disraeli. Then one
of the company stepped Into the
breach.
"Mr. Gladstone," he said, "as a mat
ter of fact tho Hebrews have produced
a statesman and one of the greatest
tho world has seen."
Tho fighting instinct of Mr. Glad
stone surged up at once. "May I ask,
sir," he said pointedly, "who was this
nebrpw statesman?"
Every one, anticipating a more than
lively scene, waited In tense expecta
tion for tho answer. It came in tbe
quietest tones, "Moses, sir." Every
one smiled, and Mr. Gladstone joined
