Special Correspondence
Bam Francisce, Jan. 4. Much has
been written of late years about the
Chinese in the United States and ether
countries, whither these peeple have
ought elbow room, te earn a. living and
one singular fact in Jehn's case has been
given much prominence nnd used as one
strong point against him that is the cus
tom generally observed by these people
of cenveyjng the bones of m their dead
back across the ocean te rejjose in their
native soil. The object of this trans
planting of the dead has perhaps net
been fully understood.
Aside from n sort of sentimentality
which inclines ene te prefer that Ids
bones repese in the family cemetery near
te the bones of his fathers, it makes but"
little difference te the majority of men
what particular spot of earth receives
back their dust. Net se with the China
man. Te him this question is net one of
sentiment It is ene of welfare. He be
lieves that nfter this life is ever, his
"6eul gees marching en," and its march
is retarded or nssisted much by the co
operation of his relatives, and particu
larly his male descendants.
The se called ancestral worship among
the Chincee has gnlvvn out of this en
deavor of the living te make smooth the
journey of the dead, The graves of the
dead are kept green by the male descend
ants through succeeding generations,
nnd this fact accounts for the great num
bers of well marked and preserv cd graves
found everywhere in China.
Once every year, en a regular date,
the graves are visited and the mound of
earth, which is oval instead of oblong us
with us, is repaired and looked after.
If the tramp of feeding herds of cattle
or buffaloes has beaten deuli the little
hill, or water washed away the eaith, it
is replaced and put in its eiiginul coni ceni coni
eorm shape. By the grave thus repaired
are left dainty dishes of boiled perk, with
rice and vegetables, and nlse wine, nnd
these lemain untouched by hungry beg
gars who pass them by, for the spirit of
the dead te feast upon. The rpiritual
portion of the feed only is consumed by
the spirit of the dead.
Paper clothing in gorgeous colors and
geld and silver paper tinsel, are likcvviwj
reduced te the sphit state by being
burned and are then used by the spii its
in the ether life. The se called "Jes3
paper," se liberally burned around the
dying couch of Chinamen, is for this
purpose. The peeple think the devil, flr
devils, cannot distinguish imitation from
real money, and it is te enable the dead
man's beuI te bribe its waythieugh the
devil's kingdom in fcafcty." It is the duty
of every Chinaman te perform these pest
burial tites at the grave of hia paternal
ancestors annually, and hence if one's
boncsajre left in a straiigei'sland. vv here
his descendants will never be nble te jter jter
ferm these lites, it issure te have a lone
ly nnd unaided journey through the sphit
land. The I caserns, therefore, which
prompt these peeple te convey their dead
comrades back te China are indeed pa
thetic. When a Celestial is sick unto death
the family resort te all manner of de
vices, as ludicrous as incffictital, te nave
the life of the patient. They knew but
littloef medicine or turgery, but they
seek either te blibe or frighten away the
spirits who are supposed te ceme te con
vey away the spirit of the dying.
Jess paper is burned in the hope that
the mercenary spirits may be satisfied
with a supply of the betis coin and
leave the patient. And if this deuce
fails, the most infernal neise is made by
firing of .heavily ch.uged cannon or
blunderbusses, and beating of gonge and
blowing of hetns, te frighten the devil
away. But all efforts fail, i.nd the sick
dies. They then direct their clTeits to
ward securing the welfare of the dead,
as nbove described.
The dead are prepaied for Initial by
being clad in their best clothes and the
body is put into a large, square wooden
coffin and packed in lime, the object of
the lime being te absorb the gases and
water of the decaying body and prevent
odors.
The dead aie often kept unbtiricil for
weeks, or, in boiue cases, years the tea
sons being iiucy. The most common is
a lack of funds te carrj out the pio pie pio
grammeof pajing a T.teist piicsi for
censuItingMth thu-spirit of the dead as
te where he vvislsts te be bin led and for
paying the owner of the land in vv hee
field the dead may locate his grave. I
liave seen hundreds of unbtiricd culling,
each of which contained a corpse, sitting
around the edge of a bamboo greve
awaiting interment. And many of the
ceflins had been there until they were
browned by the sun and rain, and rank
grass had grown up around them until
they wcre well hid and formed a favor faver favor
ite cover for tabbits and pheasants.
The custom of filling the coffin with
lime appealed te be generally piactieed,
and has been for a long tiiue. I once
came across an opened grave near a
Chinese city and I niaile a startling dis
co veiy.
It was that the grave had been opened,
mid the lime, new further eniiched by
the decayed bones, had been cniricd
away te fertiiize growing vegetables,
and the thick planks of which the coffin
wMinmli! had been htel.cn into small
pieces and cairicd away for fuel te use
in cooking feed. All that lemained of
the beggar whose bones had theie de
cayed in eidcr te fertilize cabbages, was
his long braided cue. The hair was ap
parently as fiee fiem decay as the day
the man had died. It was about four
feet long, nnd biaided with three
6trands, nnd lay just .vhere it had been
buried, no knowing hew many ycais.
It was a pauper's grave in a "potter's
field," and no new madegiaveshad been
there for many years, the surface of the
earth for miles around having long
since been filled with the dead.
Te what extent this species r ( vandal
ism was practiced I liave no means el
knowing. But this instance barely at
tracted the netice of passers by, which
leads me te Infer that it is net at all un
common. In n hillside near by were th
protruding ends of coffins, which had
been uncovered by the wealing of thu
earth into gullies, and when the coffins
thus became exposed te light nud nil
they seen decayed. The cavities thus
opened hecame the burrows of rac
coons, gophers and ether wild animals.
The graves of paupers are very shah
low. The law requires that the man
upon whose premises a pauper dies shall
bury the corpse, and the job is let te n
class of men who fellow the business,
nnd they expend as little labor as possi
ble for the biuall fee, and hence te open
this class of graves is an easy task.
The better te de jieople bury their own
dead, and it is this class of graves which
are looked after as before described. It
is a common custom for theso nble te de
se te liave their coffins made many yean
befere they die, nnd the Buddhist temples
nre used as waieheuscs in which they nre
i tercd. I liave' Been coffins thus fctered
uway whjcljvcre uniaue epecimciia of
workmanship, bring elaborately cam
and ornamented with coats of arms and
fantastic figures. As there are no hearrci
the funeral precession forms a novel
night, as the coffin is berne te the bury
ing spot suspended under pole berns
upon men's shoulders and followed 'by
the hired mourners and the music of ene
stringed fiddles and the cries of the paid
mourners. They are conveyed te the
placedf interment befere the grave U
dug, and set upon the ground while with
pick and spade the grave is dug. The
coffin is then lowered into position and
covered with earth, there being no box
or outer covering te the coffin, as prac
ticed in most countries.
Carved stones are placed at the grav,
if the family can afford it, and the social
rank is indicated by the height and
circumfercnce of the mound. I ence
climbed te the summit of a grave which
was 200 hundred feet high. It is at
Nankin, and is the tomb of the last
emperor of the Ming dynasty. It is a
tnile around the grave at the feet of the
mound, nnd it is inclesed in a high brick
wall and has a tunnel cntrance under
ncath the wall. Centuries liave passed
Blnce that inimense bank of earth was
thrown ever the bones of the dead em
peror, and scrub oaks and chestnut
trees have long grown ever the mound.
In front of the tunnel, under tha wall,
which is of arched masonry, is the ruin
of a magnificent porcelain temple, which
was demolished in the Bicge of Nankin
during the Jnpanese rebellion, in which
Chinese Gorden took part. The broken
porcelain bricks still lie in huge piles,
just as they fell under the blows of
cannon balls. Leading away in a half
circle for a mile stands an open column
of huge stene? statuary, which leads te
the tomb of the prince, ever which
stands an immense stene column, upon
the four sides of which nre chiseled in
Chinese characters 'the lincage and his
tory of the long dethroned royal family.
The statuary is in pairs, standing
sixty Bteps apart, facing each ether,
and between them is a paved read
some twenty feet bread. The figures
representnll the ranksef Chinese officials,
both military and civic, who did the bid
ding of the dead emperor. Alse, there
ni e elephants, camels, horses, bulls, liens,
tigers and ether large animals, with ene
pair of each standing and ene pair crouch
ing. The figures arc mammoth in size nnd
are carved out of blue limestone, and the
figuree as well as thepedestal upon which
they rest me each of ene solid fatone nnd
net built in sections.
What labor and expense the building
of this grave and its surroundings repre
sents, may be judged when it is said that
it wns all done without the aid of ma
chinery or vehicles. It is all the record
of human nuiscle and perseverance.
The mound was carried there in bas
kets en men's shoulders, just as forts
and ether earthworks are dene at the
present day, no steam engines or even
herse carts being employed. The canals
are dug and embankments made by hu
man hands and the earth carried in bas
kets. When the Chinese first began te carry
their dead back fromCalifeinia the ships
charged the same for each ceflln taken
te China as they did for a live Chinese
passenger. Then the cunning heathen
cheapened the cost by filling one coffin
with the bones of many dead. The ships'
agents get en te this, nnd required that
each coffin be opened for iusiectien.
Then the ships steed in with San Fian
ciscan undertakers, anil requited that
metallic caskets beused, under pi ctense
that the health of the passengers and
crew was endangered by the presence of
the exhumed bones fromCaliforniacemo fremCaliforniacemo fromCaliferniacemo
teiies. This sealed casket is new re
quired for the transmission of these bones.
But the Chinese ovade this cxpensive
ruling by bleaching and cleaning tin
bones of their dead and packing them it
their trunks with their baggage. Tin
surgeon of ene of the Pacific mail steam
ers told me that this was a common
tiling, and it lequiies personal inspection
of every parcel of baggage te prevent it
being practiced by letuimiig Chinamen.
All who die during the voyage ate em
balmed and never buried nt 6ea. The
peculiarities of Biet Ilarte's "Heathen
Chinee" nre net confined te his manner
of playing poker or the cut of his coat,
but extend in even greater degree into
his treatment of his dead.

Berne Interesting Facts Drought Out In a
Tulk ulth retcr l'ltcliljniu
ISiwclal Corrcdiiemlcucc.
Kansas City, Jan. 0. During a recent
conversation with Peter Pitchlynn, the
great Choctaw chief, I learned that the
Choctaws liave a legend of-The Del
uge," and that they ence flattened the
heads of their children, lieth of which
facts I shall attempt te show is confirm
atory of their original habitat having
been far in the southwestern portion of
the continent, as they claim, and net the
northwest, as these whoudvecato the
"Lest tribes of Israel" theory plaim.
New the Mayas, theso strange peeple
who built the wonderful structures, he
ruins of which are found at Uxmal,
Palenque and clsewhere in Central Amer
ica, flattened the heads of their children,
and all the Isthmian Indians liave a tra
dition of a deluge (Atlanti's sad fate,
probably). Is it net prebable that the
Choctaws, as they claim they did, came
fiemthat legion, where at ene time in
remete antiquity, jostled, as it were,
with the Mayas, and brought here with
them soine of the corrupted legends of
that people!
The Choctaw tradition of "the del
uge," as related by Chief Pitchlynn, is
this: "Our peeple liave nlways had a
tradition of 'the deluge,' which happened
in this way: There was total darkness
for a great time ever the whele of the
earth; the Choctaw doctors, or mystery
men, looked out for daylight for a long
time, until at last they despaired of ever
seeing it, and the whole nation wcre very
unhappy. Finally a light was discovered
in the north nnd there was great rejoic
ing, until it was found te be great moun
tains of wntcr rolling en, which destroyed
them nil except a few families who had
expected it and built nn immense raft,
en which they were saved 1"
Of the primitive religious belief of
the Choctaws, as related by Pitchlynn,
the following is a synepsis: "Our peo pee pee
peo all wcie firm in the faith that the
spirit lives inn future state; that it has
te cress n dreadful, deep and rapid
stream, which is hemmed in en both
sides by high and rugged hills. Over
this stream, from hill te hill, there lies a
long nnd slippery pine leg, with the bark
peeled off, ever which the dead liave te
pass te the delightful hunting grounds!
On the ether siduef the btrenin there are
six inlt-ibitniits of 'the geed hunting
grounds,' with rocks in their hands,
which they threw at all who attempt te
ciess when they reach the middle of the
legl The geed walk en safely te the
'delightful hunting grounds,' where there
is ene continual day; where the trees nre
always gieen; where the sky has no
clouds; where there are constant cooling
breezes; wbeie there Is ene everlasting
scene of feasting, dancing and rejoicing;
where there is no pain or trouble and
peeple never grew old, but forever live
young nnd enjoy the youthful pleasures!
"The wicked en the leg see the stones
coining and try te dodge, by which they
fall and go down thousands of feet te the
water, which is tUbliini: ercrtutt ruiks
and is stinking with dead turit and ani
mals, where they are carried around and
brought continually back te the same
place in whirlpools; where the trees are
all dead, and the water full of toad:,,
lizards and snakes; where the dead are
always hungry, but have nothing te cat;
are always sick, and never die; where
the suu never shiner, and where the
wicked nre ever climbing up by thou
sanus en the sides of the high rock, from
which they can overlook the beautiful
country of the 'geed hunting grounds,'
the abede of the happy, but never can
reach it."

Washington, Jan. 0. Again the peo pee pee
peo of the capital city and of the country
have a vice president. They were re
minded of that en New Year's day, when
for the first time in sixteen years the
wife of the vice president steed In the
line of ladies at the president's right
hand en the occasion of tb.p annual re
ception at the Whlte IIouSe, and for the
first time in many years the vice presi
dent and his wife gave a grand reception
at their own rcsidence. The peeple nre
likely te be often reminded of the exist
ence of the vice president nnd his wife,
for ene easily perceives a determination,
a v.cry praisewerthy ene, en the part of
Mr. and Mrs. Morten te make all that
can be made of their offlce and station.
A singular fatality has attended the
offlce of vice president for a long time.
Mrs. Schuyler Colfax was the last vice
president's wife who was able te take
her proper place In the social world.
She was a lady much admired here, and
from the day of her debut in Washing
ton society, New Year's, 1809, till her
husband's retirement from office, she
bere a prominent part. Tlie next three
vice presidents Henry Wilsen, William
A. Wheeler and Chester A. Arthur
were widowers. Vice President Hen
dricks did net live long enough te en
able his family tocentrlbuto much te the
social activity of the capital. Mrs. Mor Mer Mor
eon cemes, therefore, te fill an aching
void. She brings great wealth, abun
dant culture, long cxpcricnce and rare
tact te her task of taking the social lead,
crship of the new administration which
Secretary Whitney's wifoberointholasfc
one.
On going from the While Heuso te the
Morten mansion en New Year's day I
could net help contrasting the two build
ings, te the former's disadvantage It is
a fact that a private heuse in Washing
ton seems better adapted te social and
ceremonial events than the president's
house, in which the whele public should
take se much pride. There may be a
little inore room in the Whlte Heuso
than in the Morien mansion, but the lat
ter excels in beauty and conveniences.
At the White Heuso an amusing incident
occurred just as the nnnual reception
was at its height. The diplomatic corps
was passing along in a brilliant line of
geld, Bilvcr and gay colored trappings
nnd uniforms, greeting the president and
the ladies of his court, when seme ene
in the blue parlor, where wcre congre
gated the members of the cabinet and tha
beauty and fashion of the city, com
plained of the temperature,
i And what de you suppose then hap
pened? Postmaster General Wanamaker,
who is very zealous about proper ventila
tion of rooms, called ene of the servants
of the house, the veteran PenJell, and
Pcndell presently appeared bearing in
his hands along pole with a hook en ene
end such a pole as is used in seme old
fashioned churches te pull the windows
down. That is what Pcndell had it for,
but in order te get into the blue parlor
he was compelled te drag the long stick
threugli the line of diplomats and ever
the heads of the ladies of the cabinet
and special guests in the rear of the
president and his assistants. Count Arce
Valley, the German minister, wns pass
ing just then, and he looked up at the
pole nnd at Pcndell with his ene eye
glass In a half surprised manner which
was very suggestive. It was well he did
se, for at that moment Pcndell turned
from the passageway te the blue room,
and the count came near having his sin
gle optle knocked from its roosting place
te the fleer.
In the Morten heuse there wcre two
entrances, conveniently arranged as te
the drawing rooms nnd the cloak rooms.
Peeple could ceme in by ene deer and
go out the ether. But at the Whlte
Heuso the arrangements in this respect
were most miserable. Only ene deer
was open. Through this peeple wcre
arriving constantly, be, of course, it
could net be used as an exit. Shortly
nfter greeting the president, the mem
bers of the diplomatic cerp3 had te take
their carriages and drive te the rcsi rcsi
deneo of Secretary Blaine, where they
wcre te partake of the annual diplo
matic breakfast. But in order te leave
the building they found it necessary te
go out through a window and walk
across a temporary bridge. Here they
emerged right in the thick of a crowd of
grand army veterans who wcre coming
te pay their respects te the president.
The veterans had been standing for nn
hour in the rain, and many fine costumes
were soiled, nnd many pretty tempera
temporarily ruined by the enforced con-
The vice president lias net as much
actual power as ene of the senators ever
whose deliberations he presides. He can
neither speak nor vote, but must sit nil
the day long, merely echoing the re
quests and formal references of business
offered by the men of real power in that
body, the scnateis themselves. Senater
Sherman presents a resolution aud asks
te have it referred te the cemmittee en
foreign affairs, of which he is himself
chairman. The echo in the chair sings
out, "Te the cemmittee en foreign af
fairs." Aside from simple duties like
these the vice president lias te recognize)
"the senator from Massachusetts," or
"the senator from Kansas," or whatever
the state may be, when a senator claims
the fleer, and devete the remainder of
his time te nn effort te keep awake. A
president pre tempore of the senate is a
veritable king in power compared te the
constitutional president. He can step
down from the chair and speak, he can
sit in the chair nnd vote, and as the rec
ognized leader of his paity in the senate
he lias trumendeus influence upon legis
lation. It is pretty certain that the framers of
the constitution did net intend making
this offlce ene of such little importance.
They did net foresee that it was te be be bo
cemo a sort of fifth wheel In the govern
mental machine. The first' president
ran the country nearly six months with
out n cabinet officer, and during that
time frequently calleil" uen the vice
president for ndviee and assistance. The
earlier vice presidents wcre all treated
with ii)me consideration than Is new
accrnded the occupants of that elllce.
Mr. Morten will net be able te change
the system which lias been be long in ob
taining Ha crew Hi. He must low te tlie
inevitable. 1 Happen te knew that Mr.
Morten, who Is by no means a brilliant,
but an earnest and conservative, matt,
has for months been studying with a
geed deal of application and real te pro pre
pan) himself for the discharge of his
duties as presiding officer of the senate.
Inastnuck) as that task is imposed upon
him by the constitution, it is his desire
te perform it as well as possible. It is in
tlie social field that the vice president
will be compelled te seek his greatest
triumphs, and in this there is a peculiar
flttlngncss, from the fact that it was a
vice president who made the social laws
which te this day govern at tlie national
capital.
Washington had net been long in offlce
befere he dlscerned that pelite society
of an official sort needed rules and forms
if it wcre te proceed harmoniously and
successfully. In ether words, the new
rcpublie must have a social cede, un
written but obligatory, as well as a stat
ute book. Se he asked the vice presi
dent, Mr. Adams, and the members of
his cabinet, Jay, Hamilton and Madisen,
te prepare a plan of court etiquette.
The rules presented by Mr. Adams in rc rc rc
sponse te this request wcre substantially
adopted, and have continued the cedo
of -manners at the cxecutive mansion
through all administrations, that of Jef Jef
fereon alene executed.
GRAND OPERA HOUSE AT PARIS.

The 0 rami Opera house at Paris, although
It was completed in 1874 by the republic,
rtands a monument te the second empire. In
1800 it was doclded te build a memorial of
ihis. period of peace and prosperity which
fceuld stand for all time. One hundred and
toventy-eno plans wcre received from tlie
uest celebrated architects of the day, Charles
Bander being the successful candidate. The
building is tbe largest of Ita kind in tlie
world, covering an area of 13,500 square yards,
r nearly three acres, the great St. Peters
Ourg theatre, next in size, covering ene and
eno-sevcuth. Its cubte mass is 4,287,000 feet,
Munich, the next In point of bulk, being
l,2U5,000. It is heated by fifteen furnace
wd lighted by 0,000 gas jets supplied by ten
lilies of pipe, and tha reservoirs in basement
ind en reef providing against (Ire casualties
Beld ever 1,000,000 gallous of water. The
rreund site cost f 3,000,000, the building ever
(9,000,000.
The spacious steps are of St Olie sand
itene, the ground fleer of Larrys free stene,
(domed by numerous statues, while higher
it 11113 the balcony or loggia. Sixteen Bava
rian stene monoliths stand out against a
background of red Jura stene. This glaring
:oler contrast at first met criticism, but was
vldcntly left te be toned by time. These
telutnns are connected by balconies of pol pel
shed stene with balusters of green Swedish
imrble, and with them eighteen columns of
peach blossom marble, with gilded capitals,
rhese columns sustain a rideau or curtain of
Jura stone, sheltering tbe lecgla, ornamented
(vlth gilt brenre busts aud brackets. In
jrder te increase the altitude of the building,
the attle above, rich in sculpture, has Its
oackgreund incrustcd with a golden mosaic,
which gives wonderful animation te the flg
ares and arabesques by its changing reflection.
Higher up a row of gilt bronze masks ruus
along the frontage, and higher still, abeve
bands of violet brocatelle marble, are gilt
bronze groups In the angles. Frem a mero
distant point tha effect of the frontage is
completed by the cupola of the auditorium,
topped with a cap of bronze, lightly adorned
with gilding. On the gable end of the stage
reef Is Lequentne's "Pegasus," and at cither
end of tbe main reef structure Millet's neble
bronzes, "Apelle Lifting His Gelden Lyre."
The lateral frentage of the heuse Is less or
nate, and both marble and brouze are less
freely used.
The bewildering cfToctef this maze in form
and power incoler makes itdifllcult te deter
mine the value, of the harmony in this elab
orately wrought design. Tbe flight of steps
leading up te the pillared portico te the prin
cipal entrance that ts half hidden from tlie
front has been pronounced a flaw by critics.

Explanation of the Fntiinu "Agrrrmrtit"
About Which Se Mitrh Han ttcen Said
of Ite llnnrlmll I.nw In nt Variance
with Common Law and In Very Aililtrnrjr.
lien Mulford, Jr., of The Cincinnati
Times-Star, who is ene of the hi Ightest w tit
ers en baseball topics In America, and ene of
tlje best also lwcatie he telfs n story In n
plain, evcrydny manner, easily undcrstoel
nnd right te tlie point eery tltue,has aptly
sited up the tmFeball war In this sentence,
"It Is n rampalKti fur the preservation el
basctiaU law en ene tlile and ft destruction
en the ether."
It is frequently asked what is tlie differ
ence between bneball law and common law.
The answer is that baseball law Is n law unto
itself. It is n collection of arbitrary cus
toms, adopted by the baseball men, that nr
net In accord with common law.
These arbitrary customs nre at variance
with common law, and there Is no doubt
whotevcr that the courts would decide, if
appealed te, that the customs refericd te nic
net legal; but the courts have never been In
voked, un the priuciple that you am bring n
horte te water, but jeu cannot make hint
drink. The courts might declam that it wai
illegal te suqiend n pla)cr or say that lit
should net be hired by any ene eU-, but th
courts e-css no power te compel a iiersen
te hlre another, unless that pen-en desires te
de se willingly, nnd hence the magnates hai
tcen able te enforce baseliall regulations.
nnd have built up a set of regulations, ltb
precedents te govern tlictn, which have ly
ceme known ns baseball law.
The National league and American associa
tion, together with the miner association!
combined under the national agreement,
have for years been nn ergnulrcd ti ust which
controlled nil baseball interests, nnd when
ene considers the cnei ineus power they hnv
wielded ene fs nmazed that they have net
unl It mero arbitrarily nnd det-jietlcally that
they haie.
The basis of all bnseball'law Is the national
agreement and the customs which have ob
tallied in interpreting its piovlsiens. Tlili
famous document is an ngi cement by and 1k
tween associations binding themselves lit cer
tain forfeitures and ciialtics te Keep tli
compact Inviolate. Tlie p.u ties te It are tli
National league and the Amet lean ossecia
tleu. There ere temn supplemental nrtlcle
known as articles of qualilled admission te
the national ucteement, under which niluei
baseball organizations are admitted te tin
protection of the national agreement.
The celebrated agreement which has been
the corner stene of the success of baseball
contains ten articles. Tlie first ene provldei
for its name, The second explains the con
tracts betwoen clubs aud players, and pro
vides that such contracts shall net be made
prier te Oct. 20 of each year, and prceeribci
for the suspension of the player and f.YX) line
te the club for a violation. Aitlcle 3 pro
vides for the trcatment of suspended playcn
by ether cluba and prohibits them from play
ing with or against teams of which a dis
qualified player U a member.
Article 4 is the reserve rule. It grants
each club the )ewcr te select the iiamcs el
fourteen plajers under contract with them en
tlie 10th day of October in each J ear and pro pre
tcts them In the continued service of such
players by making the players inellglblu tc
contract with any ether club a jiarty te the
agreement except as may be provided In lu
terms, and clubs aie also permitted te add te
their list of reserved men the names of any
players who may have been reserved by
them In prier ycai s w he have ret used te con
tract with the club reserving them, thus in
stituting n perpetual bar from baseball fet
theso players who declined te remain with
the clubs which hnd reserved them without
obtaining a proer release
ArtlcleS gev cms the releases of plajers.
When n man is released Ids services are sub
ject te the acceptance of the ether clubs el
his association f or a ei ied of ten dnj . A flci
that the player is f ree te go w here he pirates.
Article 0 gives the clubs territorial rights in
the cities where they are located, nnd pie
hiblts any ether club from being located
there without permission, and the nrtiele alst
provides for the I esignatleu of clubs dining
the month et November. At tiele 7 provide!
fur the expulsion of clubs f i em the bcncflti
of the agicemcnt for playing games ugaiust
any club presenting en its nlne an Ineligibli
player. Article 8 gives each assoclatlec
power te make lules for therential ilisclplliu
aud compensation of its players. Articles I
and 10 provl'le for a beard of nt liltniterx
consisting of three each from thotwemajoi
organizations, te whom shall full the duty el
interpreting the agreement and deciding al
disputes arising tinder it,
The qualified articles are thirteen lu mini
ber, and previde for the protection of iiiinei
leagues, and preset Ibe the amount te be paid
for such protection, which Is 1 1,000 for foul
clubs, f 1,000 for six clubs and ?'-',000 ferelRhl
clulw. These nt tides are v cry complete ant
cover about every point that could peasiblj
arise between the parties thereto.
This, in brief, is the national agreeuicut
It is the law and the beard et arbitration ii
the court of last resort. Many of its provis previs
ions und the usages which have giewn uj
under it nre obnoxious te fair minded H-epl
en a first acquaintance nnd ohjts:tleuublt. id
ways, hut experience hag shown that thest
regulations ero absolutely necessary, liat
players need te be governed with a strong
hand. The stability of baseball demands thai
clubs shall keep well uleiigwlth the proces preces
sion, but they cannot de se If their playcn
can desert them at any moment.
There must be something mere than a com
men law punishment for violators of con
tract, and there must be something te punlst
clubs and associations for violation of con
tracts en cither side than a suit for damages.
In the past it has ben qulte as dilllcult tc
keep the inugnates in line ns the plajers; In
deed, mero se in soma icspects, aud nothing
bliert et the Iren clad national fcn-wucnl
would have done it or will de it In the fiuuru.
"We has e a specimen of what would liiipixii
without It when the clubs liustle te obtuie
the services of a ew plajer who has made a
mark, and the constant disputes coining be
fore tbe beard of arbitration show what most
of the clubs would de if they had a clmnee.
As for the players, the events of the last few
mouths in the signing et double centiacti
and the bargaining and "sbenaniilgau" in
dulged in are geed indications of the kind of
practices that would becoine general vveri
there net soma Iren Iwund rule te held both
magnates aud players te a given line.
It is this basuball law which has made the
national games such n proqxreus finan
cial institution, and made it jotssIIiIe for ball
players te get suth princely salaries. Its dt
structien would mark the decadence of the
sport, end make It unprollteblo professionally
without a tremendous reduction in salai Its.
The natural result would of com se be a la
tum te the present system or lemethlng very
close te it In time, but the experiment would
be a costly one te every euu who new secuici
a living from the game of baseball.
