NATIONAL LEAGUE RACE
Baltimore and Boston Fighting Hard for
the Flag.
The games to be played by the Bal
timore and Boston teams this
week will decide which team
will fly the Leaguechampionshippen
nant. Not since the memorable race
of 1889 between the New Yorks and
Bostns has the fight for the first
honors been so exciting. The teams
are so evenly matched and they are
playing so consistently that the re
sult Friday, Saturday and Monday
is awaited with interest by thousands
of baseball enthusiasts all over the
country.
After the series with the New
Yorks the Baltimores will meet the
Bostons at Baltimore. The Bostons
are confident of taking two out of the
three games, but if they only win
one they still have afightiugchance,
so the critics believe. Selee's men
have three games to -play with the
Brooklyns, These and tbe Balti
more gamis are the only ones left
for the ex-champions te play. The
Baltimores, meanwhile, have three
regularly scheduled games with the
Washingtons. to be played on the
champion's grounds next week.
Win or lose the pennant, Boston
has earned the right to play for that
Temple cup, as there is now no one
chance in 400 that New York can get
there. The scries for the Temple
trophy will no doubt be started in
Boston in order to avoid -the cold
weather as much as possible, and
for the same reason the games will
be started as soon as possible after
the regular season closes, says Tim
Murnane in the Boston Globe.
All the money taken at the games.
goes into one pot, to be divided, CO
per C3nt to the winner and 40 to the
loser. The grounds are given free.
Each team will keep the extras from
privileges, such as score cards, etc.
The Bostoa club will have eighteen
players and Manager Solee making
nineteen to share in the division.

hereby ordered that the following

CRIMINAL INSANE.
Their Care and Treatment With the Su
perintendent of the Raleigh Asylum.
It has been called to our attention
that the act making provision for
the department of the crimnil in
sajie at the penitentiary also pro
vides that the care and treatment of
tbe criminal insane shall be in the
hands of the superintendent of the
Raleigh insaneasylum. Thus it would
appear that the appointment of
any person by Supt. Smith in the
capacity of medical attendant is not
legal. It would seem that the en
tire matter rests with Dr. Kirby.
We quote from the act creating the
criminal insane department :
"In this department for the crimi
nal insane, the races and the sexes
shall be kept in separate apart
ments, and shall be under the medi
cal care and treatment of the physi
cians and surgeons of the central
hospital at Raleigh. The principal
of the said central hospital is charg
ed with their care and treatment,
and may from time to time delegate
this duty to one or more of the sur
geons or physicians at the peniten
tiary; but the care, treatment and
cure of such criminal insane sl'all at
all times be under the supervision
and direction as herein of the said
principal of the central hospital at
Raleigh."
"The physicians of the peniten
tiary, under the directions of the
physician of the Raleigh insane asy
lum, as herein provided, shall be
the medical superintendent of the
insane wards hereiu provided for."

Dr. Lewis Writes the Governor Against
Receiving Fever Refugees.
Dr. R. H. Lewis, the secretary of
the State board of health, today sub
mitted the following letter to Gover
nor Russell:
"The letter of Surgeon Gen. Wil
liams, asking your approbation of the
extension of an invitation to persons
in the fever infected districts of tbe
South to take refuge on "the moun
tain plateau of Western, N. C,"
submitted to me for my considera
tion and advice in the matter was
received this p. m.
"Having duly considered the sub
ject I would respectfully say that in
my opinion it would be unwise to
extend the invitation. While I do
not think that at this season of tbe
year and at the elevation of our
mountain plateau there would be
any appreciable dangerof conveying
the disease of yellow fever to the
residents, I do believe that it would
be practically impossible to detain
the refugees upon the plateau suf
ficiently long to prove that they
were not infected, and that therefore
there would be a distant risk of
some of them going to certain sec
tions of our State that are suscepti
ble to the disease, notably our city
of Wilmington, and sowing the seeds
of a serious epidemic. One section
of tbe State might have to pay very
dearly for the advertisement of an
other, to say nothing of the economi
cal suggestion you make that a num
ber of helpless people might have to
be cared for at our expense. ''
