Ersslns Wlman Says Some Fine Thines About the Xntlonnl Game. Amid all the "worrit" of business and commercial interests Mr.Erastus Wiman, of New York, found time to talk exceedingly interestingly on baseball matters last evening at the Duguesne. There are lew if any gentlemen more genial and entertaining con versationalists than Mr. Wiman, and he simply becomes enthusiastic when talking about baseball. He has "had a long and ac tive experience in that line of pleasure and business; of course he does not believe in term ing it business, but believes It to be one of the greatest blessings that is within the reach of business men. Mr. AViman, without doubt, said some ot the finest things possible last even ing abont the national game. During a conver sation with the writer he said: "ow, in talking about baseball, let me ex plain a matter to the public which concerns me considerably. There have been reports in cir culation to the effect that I was inclined to back up the Ball Players' Brotherhood in their proposed fight with the National League. The rumor definitely was that I would find money and help to organize another league or associa tion. Bow, stones like these are wrons. When the brotherhood was first formed there was a prospect of a conflict between it and the League. I was asked what I would do for tne players, and I stated that I could only allow them the use of my grounds. This I would do for anybody, because it is to my benefit to have people visit my grounds. But to offer to setup a rival to the National League would be lolly. ADVICE TO THE MiAYEBS. "I cannot for a-momentfbelieve that the play ers will ever offer to do anything of the kind, and what is more, they could not command the capital to do so. They may have demands to make, and these demands may be right or they may be wrong. It is not within my province to say; but I have license to say that it would be foolish on the part of the Dlayers to force mat ters to open hostilities. The National League is one of the best managed organizations in the country. I have an idea when business is man aged in a right way. and when I say that I have 190 clerks in my employ, people will think I ought to know something about business. Well, I emphatically maintain that the National League is managed better than anything else I know of; indeed I argue that its management is better than that ot the United States Gov ernment, and I would rather trust the League fovernment than that of the United butes. t is the result of the good management of such gentlemen as J. B. Day, A. G. Spalding and "W. A. Nimlfck that the players are receiv ing such big salaries to-day. I think if this fact were better understood by the plavers there would not be so much grumbling and dissatis faction among them. Depend upon it that that is beneficial for the directors and stock holders of the club is beneficial to the players, and vice versa. A POWEBFUIi PACT. "The League management knows this, and the history of the organization is one clear and continuous proof of the fact. The plavers will do well to continue to trust to the honesty and sagacity of the League managers as much as possible. If that management had been bad ana aisnonest, most assureaiy mere wouia not have been such big salaries as there arc to day." Mr. Wiman continued: "I would like to be more closely interested in baseball than what I am, but I cannot possibly find time to carry out my desires. Of course you know about my experience with the old Metropolitan Club. I have nothing to complain of on that score. I feel satisfied that the gospel of relaxation Is one of the finest gospels that can be preached to humanity, and anything that will attract and pleasurably divert the attention of a man who is weary and worn out by business Is a boon. A game of baseball will do this; the points and general features are so beautiful and simple that no mental exertion is needed to understandthem. and we can become so in terested in the contest that for the nonce every care and anxiety is 'forgotten. I am a very busyman. I rise every morning at 4 o'clock, and as a rule I feel weary about 3 in the after noon. Then it is that about an hour and fifty minutes at a ball game comes to me as one of the greatest blessings of my life. We should all admire the game." LOCAL BALL GOSSIP. Secretory Scandrett Talk Abont the Home Pitcher. Bain was again very disastrous with the ball games yesterday. It vetoed all the League games. Three games, although not scheduled, were arranged to take place as follows: Pitts burgs at Washington, Clevelands at Philadel phia and Indianapolis at Boston. The game between Pittsburg and Washington will be played on-Friday. Yesterday morning Secretary Scandrett re ceived a' long letter from Manager Phillips in which the latter spoke highly of the remark able speed developed by Beam. Mr. Phillips thinks Beam will make a good pitcher. Secretary Scandrett went on to say that neither Morris nor Galvin has reported for duty yet, and that they will not be sent Hast. They will probably play in the Indianapolis scries, which starts here on Saturday. 6TOLEN BASES. Cnadwlek's Opinion ns to What la u. Clean Steal. I notice that President Young decides that a base-runner should be credited with a stolen base under tbe following circumstances: tfor instance, Quinn was at first base and Ganzel at bat with two strikes and three balls called. As the next ball is pitched Qulnn makes a dive for second without knowing whether the umpire would call a ball or a strike. It turned out that the umpire called four balls, but Qulnn gets credit for a stolen base. This Is a correct de cision. In estimating stolen bases, there can not well be any arbitrary rule to govern every case, as circumstances so frequently alter cases. The effort t steal muit go Into the cal culation largely. For Instance, the moment tbe runner at first sees the pitcher's arm move to pitch, and he starts for second, be has at tempted to steal without regard to the action of the catcher or tbebatsmetuand if be reaches the base safely, he Is entitled to the credit ot tbe steal. Irrespective of a wide throw, a muffed tall, a passed ball, a called ball or a wild pitch; as the very effort to steal may help to cause either the wild throw or the passed ball, as also the muff at second. There are ordinary steals and clean steals, and tbe latter comprise the minority. But no base can be Justly credited as stolen, where tbe runner at first is induced to start for second after seeing the error made by the pitcher or catcher, to limit tbe credit of a stolen base to clean steals, would be discouraging to base steal ing, A runner will not take the risks under such circumstances that he will when he is given credit for his effort to steal irrespective of the fielding errors the effort may have led to. In order to encourage base-running, I think, a latitude should be allowed, which may justly be reduced hereafter. H. Chadwick. ASSOCIATION GAMES. The Cincinnati Beds Y1n an Easy Gnme From Louisville.

The Frlclitful Experience of a Young Woman In New Jersey. Orange, N. J.. May 27. A beautiful young woman was passing down Main street, and as she crossed Cone street felt a peculiar warmth at her back. Glancing over her shoulder she was startled to see tongues of flame flashing up. With a terrified shriek she started to run, when George Adamson, who was attracted by her screams, caught her in his arms and extin guished the fire. Tbe young woman was taken Into Philip Klngsley's office, where it was found that the fire had burned her newspaper bustle com pletely up, scorched the back of her dress and burned almost through her underclothing.

The Preacher Who Suicided Declared a Romantic Lunatic A Ladles' Mnu Who Considered Himself Socially Better Than He Was. rsrXCIAT, TELIGBAII TO THI DISPATCH.1 Baltimore, May 27. Further inquiry into the life of Bev. H. Greenfield Schorr, who committed suicide yesterday, brings to light the fact that he was romantically crazy. He was a great admirer of the fair sex, and was twice engaged to be married, once to a young lady in Pittsburg and at another time to a girl in East Baltimore. Both of these he broke off himself, and then sought others on whom to place his affections. His last flame was a young woman above him in station, and though he brought all his fascinating powers into play, he was unsuccessful in obtaining his inamorata's consent. It is stated that he contracted other en tangling alliances, which he feared would soon become known and lead to his dis grace. Those who knew him best say he was a great ladies' man, and being a fine conversationalist and very entertaining, made himself exceedingly popular. .The fact that he was ot humble parentage made him discontented with his lot. Nof even" his rector knew that his father was a poor cobbler, living in this city. His family antecedents he kept to himself, nor did they become known until after his death. The suicide's last request, that he be buried from the church, will not be com plied with. The bodr was given in care of the poor father whom he never publicly from T acknowledged, and he will be buried his parents' humble home. All day the little house was, filled by the morbidly curious, especially those living in the im mediate neighborhood. Bishop Paret will officiate at the funeral. The ministers gen erally believe Schorr to have been insane. CAPTDEING MONSTER SHAKES, Two Specimens of Unusual Size Secured After a Straggle. rBPKCIAL TELEGRAM TO THX DISPATCH. J Boston, May 27. Some heavy shark stories were told by two captains who ar rived in port to-day, which may have the effect of keeping some people out of the water the coming season. The sharks are of unusual size and seem to be near land. Captain- Thurston, of the fishing schooner Sisters, reports that on Saturday a week ago he was fishing about 20 miles off Yarmouth, N. S., when a huge shark was hooked by the nose with a cod-hook. They got the mon ster to the surface alongside the vessel and tried to get a stout new rope over his head, but he bit the rope right through again and again, as though it were cut with a sharp ax. Then they drove a harpoon into the back of his neck and held him while they got into a boat and attacked him with axes, killing him after a desperate struggle. The shark proved to be too large to take on board, so they cut out his liver, which filled 2 barrels, and took aboard the head and tail, letting the bodx go. This is oneof the largest of the species ever seen in .those- waters, being 25 feet long and weighing over two tons. His head was as large as a hogs head, and weighed between 600 and 700 hounds.

The out-riders galloped in advance, clearing the way, and the American Minister was driven at a brisk trot across the North bridge and up the steep height on which stands the royal residence, overlooking tbe Maelar Lake and the Baltic Sea. . Outside the portal a company of soldiers were drawn up in line and presented arms.

Mr. Thomas was received by the two royal chamberlains and conducted between lines of high officers to the Grand Marshal of the Court, Count Rosen, by whom bo was ushered into the royal audience chamber, where the King was standing to receive him. m THE BOYAL PBESENCE. His Majesty wore tbe uniform of a general of the Swedish army and bore on his breast the star and cordon of the Seraphim, the highest order of Sweden, and the star and order of Stol, of the highest order of Norway. Tbe king was uncovered, and his white plumage and chapeau hung on his left arm. Tbe Min ister presented his credentials and said: Your Majesty I have the honor to place in your hand a letter from the President of the United States of America, accrediting me as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo tentiary to Sweden and Norway. It is also my distinguished privilege to bear with me from over the ocean the assurances of tbe high re gard and sincere friendship of the President and people of the United States for Your Majesty and the brother peoples of the Scan dinavian peninsula. It is not the first time this pleasant dntv has been intrusted tome. Once before Your Majesty graciouslv received me as the Minister of my country. I then represented S8 States and 55,000,000 of people. "Six years have flown by. I return the repre fentatlve ef the same country, but 42 stars now shine from tbe blue of our flag, and beneath its folds 65.000.000 citizens march onward to the peaceful conquests of industry. In this grand advance America gratefully acknowledges her indebtedness to Scandinavia. A LITTLE TAFFY. No people in the world receive a warmer wel come on our shores, none make better citizens of our republic than tbe sons and daughters of the lotty North. They bring with them the honesty and Industry, the patience and forti tude, the hope and valor, the love of truth and fear of God, that have ever distinguished the Scandinavian race and illuminate the pages of its history. Three millions of Americans are proud to trace their origin to Scandinavia. -True and loyal citizens of the Republic, they yet preserve a t arm place in tb eir memories ana hearts for Your Majesty's person and for their old home and kinsfolk In the North land. Their kindest, tenderest greetings I bring with me from mv own native land to theirs. In coming to Scandinavia 1 cannot feel that I come to a foreign shore; I return rather to my second home to a gallant land, whose monarch T hava learned to venerate, whose Deonle I re- spect and love, and among whom I have found neaven s pest gut 10 man. jjipiomacy ue.weea the two countries can never be to me a matter of indifference, or a cold, dry, uninteresting formality. It is my sincere desire to do whatever in me lies to advance the prosperity of Your Majes ty's Government and ceople as well as that of tbe United States, and so long as I represent my country I pledge my best efforts to main tain the good understanding and to draw yet more closely together the bonds of friendship which, uniting the two peoples In the early in fancy of the Republic before Washington was President, or ever our Constitution was adopt ed, have held unbroken through the lapse of more than 100 eventful years down to this day, and which, God grant, may endure forever." THE KING'S EEPLY. King Oscar in reply welcomed Mr. Thomas for the second time as Minister. He said he was gratified to receive assurances of the friendship of tbe President and the people of tbe United States, and was especially moved by the kindly greetings sent to him by tbe sons and naughters of Scandinavia, who were now in America. It was his earnest desire that the good under standing which had ever existed between tbe United Kingdoms and the United States might be perpetual. He was confident that Mr. Thomas who returned with .a friendship lor tbo brother peoples formed by old acquaint ance, and who was cemented now by even a stronger tie, would well and worthily fulfill bis mission in the North land. Upon his own co operation to this end Mr. Thomas could ever rely. BIOTING IN BELGRADE. Party Troubles Cnnse an Uprising, In Which Three Persona Were Killed. Belgrade, May 27.

BISHOP FEAB0D HIS PATE. a His Physician Tells of a Long Trance the mind Reader Once Hnd. rSPXCIAL TZLXOBAU TO THE PISPATCH.1 New Yoek, May 27. The inquest into the death of Bishop, the mind reader, was continued by Coroner Levy in the City Hall, to-day. Dr. Thomas S. Robertson testified that he attended Bishop contin uously from February, 1887, to September, 1887, treating him for epilepsy, rheumatic fever, and various other ailments. Bishop was the most nervous man he ever saw, and his disease was a hysteroid form of epilepsy. Bishop had had two fits in Dr. Robertson s office. Tbe first time was after an operation, when he went into a semi-convulsion and remained unconscious for four hours. He foamed at the mouth, grew slightly rigid. and then relaxed. His respiration was im perceptible and the pulse failed at the wrist, but could be found iurther up the arm. He was apparently dead, but the application of ordinary tests disclosed the presence of life. His skin was pale and clammy, but his in ternal temperament remained normal. Dr. Robertsonsaid that Bishop had ex pressed to him his fear of being sometime mistaken for dead while in a fit, but had never said anything about fearing dissec tion alive, or had never told him of any precaution he had taken to prevent such a fate. W. Hawks, the undertaker who had charge of the oody, said: "In my opinion, from every indication he was dead then. Nothing occurred up to the time of the 'autopsy to change my opinion." He had been an undertaker 22 years, and testified as an expert on corpses. Daniel J. Hawks, another undertaker's assistant, corroborated the story. The inquest was adjourned until 11 o'clock to-morrow morning. The Coroner announced that he expected to finish the inquest to-morrow. NOT AS POPULAR AS HANGING.

CAMPBELL & DICKv FREEMASONS' HALL, FIFTH AVENUE. mv2J-TT3' mL iiiift? i ' SllfCJilff I THE MANAGEMENT OF DOGS. Editor American Sportsman: I was much pleased and greatly interested in the article on the dog and their management that appeared in the Sportsman from the pen of Mr. Hugh Dalziel. To advance the growth and beautify the coat, he advises the use of cocoanut oil. Right But do your many readers and lovers of the dog know that there is within their reach a more simple and easier obtained article and at far less expensevthat answers the same purpose of the oil. This is nothing more nor less than Ivory Soap manufactured by Procter & Gamble, of Cincinnati. I have used it for many years and far superior to anything I have ever ing setters I have never found its wonderful, and for sores and eruption of any kind invaluable. It leaves the skin soft and clear, furnishes life to the coat, produces a beautiful growth of feather and leaves it smooth and glossy and free from harshness. I use it with lukewarm rain water, which I find is the best This forms a rich, oily lather, and helps loosen all stubborn scales and blotches of the skin. To those putting dogs in condition for show purposes it is first-class, and does away with the use of oils, eggs, etc. I have no purpose in advising the use of the soap only for the good of the dog. I have no interest, directly or indirectly, have never met, nor do I know any of the manufact urers. But I must give them credit for giving us the best soap for kennel purposes I have ever used John Bolus,, A WORD OF WARNING. - There are many white soaps, each represented to be '' just as good as the 'Ivory'j . uiey ttnc IIUI, DUl line an luumcucua, nf 4Un .,t.:..n Ats fm "Itrnrv" n9n rnA Ivory" Soap and ui UIC gtuuilici rldft IWI Copyright 1SS6, by P .A. 1?
