In tho early part of the week tbo Lincoln baso ball team ran up
against a club tbat can play ball, and tbo other fellows bad all tbo
fun for three days. The Rock Island club has somo hard hitters
and a number of men on points that are, to uso a technical phrase,
"onto their jobs." Lincoln lost to Rock Island Monday and Tues
day; Wednesday's game was not finished, tho storm probably saving
the homo team another defeat. Thursday Jacksonville camo along,
and the Jacks didn't play such bad ball either, but Lincoln won by
a score of 21 to 7; this afternoon will finish tho scries with Jackson
ville. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday Lincoln will play Peoria on
the home grounds, starting then on tho circuit, playing at Peoria on
Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The first game at homo after next
week will bo Juno 8 with St. Joe.
in tho last week somo pooplo have expressed a doubt as to whether
Lincoln-, can play ball. If your faith in the home team is wavering,

TENNIS NOTES.
The arrangements hare been made for a local tournament in this
city this month. It will be held under the auspices of the Lincoln
Tennis Club at the Capitol courts. It will be a "knock-out" tourna
ment, which means that the winners must win over match played:
otherwise they will not be "in it."
Entrees may be handed to any one of the following gentlemen,
S. L. Geiehardt, W. E. Hard, Frank Blish, Avery Haggard or Harry
Hicks.
It is hoped that that the university club in particular will take a
lively interest in this tournament, and that there will be quite as
many entrees from there as from the Lincoln club. However all aro
welcome. Play will begin at four o'clock on Monday, May 21, unless
too many of the crantcs wish to go to the circus, which captures tho
town on that day. In that case the matches will begin on tho
following day at thesamo hour.
All players of tho city and suburbs are cordially invited to enter.
Each player will be required to enter before Friday evening. May
18th, and to pay an entrance fee of fifty cents. The money received
from entrance fees will be used to purchase a suitable medal to bo
presented to the winner in singles for all comers.
Drawings for matches will be held at the Capitol courts on Satur
day evening, May 10th, and the matches as then arranged will be
played without further confusion..
The events to be contested will be "all-comers singles," "all-comers
doubles," and any other events,, including "singles," for ladies, and
"doubles" for ladies, and "doubles" for ladies and gentlemen, which
are desired by those entering.
One of tho Capitol courts is now at the service of young ladies
who are fond of the game, and several have taken advantage of tho
privilege this week.
The university courts present an animated spectacle every evening
from four until dark. Look out for the "doctors" from the "uni."
One of them played eighty games two weeks ago. Ho says he is
ashamed to havo a woman beat him so he puts in all his spare time
with the racket.
Tho young man had stayed so long that Rwcot spring night that ho
had talked overy subject out except his health, and finally he got
around to that.
"I don't know," he said ' why it is. but I am beginning to havo
that tired feeling wo read about in the advertisements."
"So am I," she' responded rather heavily.
"No!" ho exclaimed, rapturously, at tho thought of a feeling in
common. "I wonder why it isV" . .
Ho looked at her tonderly.
"Really," sho murmured, "I can't say but havo you noticed tho
tho clock!"

THE MEMORY GAVE HER PAIN.
Tho bosom of tho savago maiden heaved.
"I can feel for the girl in tho story," sho sighed, "who had nothing
to wear. I remember "
Her eyes grew moist. ,
" how mortified I was when I found the moths had eaten my
canvas belt."

Young Wife (in tears) O Gerald! What do you think! The
canary has gone to laying eggs!
Unfeeling Husband I don't see anything heart-breaking in that,
Elsie. It's a perfectly proper thing for a canary to do.
Young Wife Yes, but I've always called it Ben!
Unfeeling Husband Well, you can call it Ben Hur now.
A HUMAN TOMB.
The only caso on record of a disconsolate widow swallowing tho re
mains of her dead husband is that of Art emesia drinking a glass of
wine in which tho ashes of Man sol us had been stirred for that pur
pose. The parties to this remarkable transaction were brother and
sister, also husband and wife. Mausolus was King of Caria, and
reigned about 300 years before Christ. After his death his remains
were burnt and tho ashes disposed of as related.
