HfALTHY A man w i f h a thin head of hair is a marked man. But the big bald spot is not the kirid of a mark most men like. ^ Too many men in their twenties are bald. This is absurd and all unnecessary. H e a It h y hair shows man's strength. To build up the nair from the roots, to prevent and to cure bald- ness, use— BASE BALL. Thrresults of the league and exhibi- tion games played by Malone the past week have corroborated the opinion of the management and of those 1 versed in the garne that Malone has in her team a re- markable aggregation of ball player* and that they will win a large majority of the games they play. \^ By their'defeating Potsdam twice and by Ogdensburg losing to Gouverneur, Malone retains tbe lead in the pennant race and Potsdam drops to last position.

Buck Whittemore assembled his braves early last Wednesday, and, girding up their loins, they journeyed to Platts- burgh to meet the valiant braves vrfao wield the stick for that town in the first ball game to be brought about between representatives of the two towns since 1898. The latent base ball rivalry which had been slumbering for the past few years has broken out afresh anJhAre latest development in the case indicates that there will be plenty of fuel for the flame. Did \Buck\ and his braves sustain the honor of the \ hop picking town ?\ Ask any Plattsburgh \rooter\ and you cam read the answer in his face before the answer is returned. Rain threatened to spoil any chance of a game, but, after deliberation, it was de- cided to play; and, after persistent *' root- ing and tooting,\ about. 500 of the faith- ful were produced to view the contest, There was no doubt as to the result after the first inning, when Malone scored four times on hits, bases on balls and errors galore, and the only remaining question was how bad it would be. Wilder pitched for Malone and did himself proud, allow ing but four scattered bits. He was sup- ported in almost faultless style by the balance of the team. \Doc \ Belding \swatted\ the bail four times for singles and the whole team followed suit. Wheeler retired from the box for Piatts- burgh in the fifth and Lengthy LaDue essayed the task of \ stemming the tide \ with poor success. The features of the, game on the Plattsburgh side were the general poor playisg of \Hippo \ Blanch- ard^at first and the gang of \ cheerful toughs\ that assembled near the line and by mud throwing and howling endeavored to help the home team along. Tbe game was called at the end of the 8th inning, to allow the Malone team to catch the evening train. Following is the score of the second game ever won by Maione at Plattsburgh, \ tbe majority of those lost there being won by the assistance of the umpire.\ MALONE. A.B. R. I B. P.O. A. E.

On Wednesday forenoon last Mr, and Mrs. Millar Shonyo and Miss Margaret Miller, who acted as bridesmaid at their weddin^ a week earlier, suffered an experience which they will never care to have repeal ed again. It was a rainy morning, an . with a covered carriage they had started t< J drive to Burke. As they approaehei I the Mohawk & Malone crossing just easi of the fair ground, they beard no bell oi whistle of a locomotive, \nor the electri gong at the crossing,and Mr. Shonyo, wh< was driving, leaned far forward to see ii the track was clear. When they had pas sed the bank which shuts off the view 01 the track to the south, Mr. Shonyo dis- covered that an engine running light was right upon them, so-near that, though the horse was nearly across the track, he did not dare attempt to make the cross ing. He endeaviefed to back tbe animal off, but only succeeded in getting the car- riage clear oftligjails, the tender of the engine, wh^ n was backing down from Owl's Heart, striking the animal ii OF LOCAL INTEREST.

One of the Gouverneur churches sup- ports a big bulletin board on which the church announcements are made and socials and entertainments advertised.

A young son of Edward Jones, of Chat- eaug|$,narrowly escaped death by poison- ing last week, says the Record. \While playing about the barn the child found a quantity of pans green, and when found by his parents had eaten some of the poisonous stuff.

Washburn was in the box for Ma- looe and allowed but five scattered hits. Malone scored seven hits off Duquette, which, together with five passes and poor fielding, allowed us an easy win. Fea- tures of the game were the batting of Wilder and the superb fielding of the Ma- lone team. Following is tfcie score in de- tail: MALONE. A. B. H. IB. P. O. A. E.

Griffin, of Holy Cross, can't be secured, and Drinkwater.of the Courtland State league team, has concluded he will stay where he is. Remember that on Friday next Ogdens- burg plays a league game at Malone. You can rest assured that it will be well worth seeing. Ogdensburg has strengthened by the addition of Geager, a catcher, and Daley, a second baseman. Plattsburgh will visit Malone next week »nd try and retrieve their fallen fortunes. They will undoubtedly be greatly strengthened by numerous new playt-rs. There is no doubt but that the J game will be witnessed by every living j man and woman who can get to the Ma- ione grounds on the date it is played. Rain caused a postponement of Mon- til Wednesday, when it will be played and will be all tbe more exciting, as tbe visitors will have additional strength by that time. Excursion rates will prevail on the N. Y. Central and it is expected that the largest crowd of the season will be present. The Norfolk boom has opened in earn- est. The Remington Paper Co., of Wa- tertown, has T>ecome interested in the wa- ter power there and tbe right of way has been given for the proposed x ail road from the elevator at Norwood to the site of the proposed power plant. The options given on the power were to expire August 1st, but $10,000 was planked down to the own- ers of water rights tfce last of the week and the boom is BOW inflated with' some- hing more than wind.

Miss Miller's bead struck one of the carriage rods in the fall and she received a bad bruise near the right eye. All the occupants of the car- riage had numerous bruises oa the body. It was a close call indeed and the escape of the entire party was nothing short of miraculous. This crossing is one of the worst in Maione for teams going east, it being impossible to see up the track till the excavation for the road-bed is reached. An engine gliding down grade without steam would not be beard over the hill unless the bell was rung,and all the parties say\ it was not rung in this instance. The electric gong at the cross- ing, when it works well, is not half loud enough. It has not worked well lately As the next train which passed did not ring the gongjt is fair to conclude that it was still out of order. Only a short time ago a similar accident happened at the same crossing and Delpbonse St. Mary was hurt. The railroad settled his claim for $850. Some years ago the Dagenais brothers were run into, at the same point, but in their case contributory negligence was proved. The bank which obscures the track ought to be cat down. The horse and rig belonged to Phillips 1 livery.

One or two families are already located there and the Qtfaers will arrive in a few days. The new electric lightiag plant put in by the Berkshire Electric company was success- fully tested on Tuesday evfning, and gave good satisfaction. No camp in the entire Adirondacks approaches this one in mag- nitude and beauty, and the contractors, Branch & Callanan, have every reason to be congratulated upon the workman-like manner in which they carried tbe con- itruction to a complete and satisfactory finish.' 5 Capt. Fitch, of the U. S. Corps of en- gineers, who has been investigating the problem of deepening the Grasse river, finds that the work is simply a question of dollars and cents, the only matter to be determined being,. Will, it pay? At a conference of parjies interested in the ;anal and in Massena, it was staled that .Company was already organized which desires the canal power as soon as it can be secured for the manufacture of chemical products on a very large scale, that a big >&per and palp mill is under considera- tion which will get 4t=s pulp wood from Canada, add that &, milling company is kt process of organization* to erect a flooring Dill there with a Hiinfmnm capacity of' l,0Q0 barrels a day.
