Pennant Winner.
GENERAL BASEBALL NEWS OP THE DAT
President Hewitt, of the "Washington
Baseball Club, is inclined to quit the base
ball business at the end of this season. He
say his club is losing, and lie demands
assistance or he will dispense with the team.
There was an exciting game between the
Homesteads and the East End Athletics.
"WASHINGTON, September 21. President
Hewitt, of the "Washington Baseball Club,
has been the recipient recently of several
letters from Leazuc magnates urging him to
ftand firm and not permit the capital of the
"United States to be unrepresented in tho
big ball aggregation next season. This
stiffening process has become necessary from
the tact that Mr Hewitt does not regard with
l2vnr the prospect of laying out more money to
I jpnort a team here next season, when the re
ceipts tins car have shown a deficiency on the
right M'Jc of the ledger.
I'lius fir." said Sir. Hpwltt this afternoon,
"lime sunk J10.OU0 in ray endcaTor topTe
baseball patrons amii'eiueiit, and I am not
anxious to repeat the experiment unaided,
while lam not prepared to say definitely that
there will not be a club at Washington next
reason. I am sincere in my efforts to find a syn
dicate of gentlemen who will be willinc to help
me to bear the brunt of the expense. Ifo other
cluli in the League is carried on solely by one
man and baseball has not proven such a
bonanza as to cause me for an instant to think
of neglecting my business."
The statement of Prcsideat Hewitt leads
many to believe that Brooklyn will try for the
Washington franchise. It is understood that
Brooklyn is ready to join the League chiefly be
cause of the quarrel between President Byrne
and Von der Abe.
A GUEAT GAME.
Uomcsicnds nnd the East End Athletic
l'lny Another Tic
There was another exciting County League
game at Homestead yesterday between tho
club of that place and the East End Athletics.
The excitement was intense because of tho
closeness of the contest between the Athletics
and the McKeesports for the pennant. The
Homesteads were determined to k ock the
East Enders out if they could, and therefore
had Jones In the box. The game resulted in a
tic, however, and was called on account of
darkness.
The weather was chilly, but the attendance
was good. Jones pitched a splendid game. He
had the East End players at his mercy, they
only making three hits off bis delivery Errors
at critical times, how ever, were very cost..
Gunibert pitched a good game for the Ath
letics, but he was not so effective as Jones.

qnesnes yesterday in Cycle Park. The chilly
northeaster that blew across the grounds,
coupled with the lowering aspect of the day,

bling to witness our sisters in ball attire as
might have been expected. The very rough
character of the ground interfered considera
bly with tho speed of the young ladies after
flying balls. The ladies were victorious.

STOPPED THE FIGHTS.
St. Lonls Police Veto Two Contests Because
oflheFntal Battle. .
St. Louis, September 2L In tbe face of the
recent fatal prize fight at tbe Daly Bros.'
saloon there was an attempt to brine off a
"light to a finish" and a sparring match in tbe
western section ot the city last night. Givson
Bros, run a saloon in what is known as tbe
Cheltenham district and it was here the fights
were to take place. Artie Flint, a well-known
local png, and one Charles Fitzgerald, were
to spar lor points. Palsey Allen and Martin
Reagan were to fight to a finish. The police
promptly stopped the exhibition.
To-day warrants were issued for those Impli
cated in the Ahearn-Jackson fatal fight.

The Lnekv Dukr.
LoNBOir, September 21. Copyright The
lucky Duke, as Portland Is now universally I
called, won another 12,000 this afternoon by
his horse Donovan carrying off the Lancashire
plate, his old rival, Cbitabob, being second.
Donovan started with odds or 11 to 8 betting
upon him, while 1 to 1 was laid against Cbita
hob. The race was a good one, Cbitabob keep
ing ahead till within 300 yards or.horae, when
Donovan closed with him and won in the easiest
style by two lengths. There is not the slightest
question that Donovan is a long way the best
horse of the year.
SETTLED THE CASE.
The Dispute About the Trotter Howard Jay
Brought to an End.
SPECIAL TXLXOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.
SCRASTOif, PA., September 2L Personal
friends of Dr. B. H. Throop. of this city, have
finally persuaded tho aged physician to settle
up the famous Howard Jay suit which Mr. B
F. Hernck, of Elmira, brought against him in
the fall of 1SS3. Dr. Throop got possession of
Howard Jay soon after Mr. Herrick brought
him to Scranton. Mr. Herrick was bard up and
he borrowed 81,000 on the horse of Wm.Haggerty
and J. S. Waidcn, the agreembnt being that, at
the end of one year, Herrick should have the
horse on the payment of the loan and interest,
the three to share equally in the gelding's
earnings. In the spring ot '83 Hagterty and
Walden cot into a dispute over a driver,' and
Walden Induced Dr. Throop to buy Haggerrj's
interest in the horse. In order to make Hac
gerty believe that Throop had bought the
horse out and out a bill of sale wis got from
Herrick in favor of Throop.
Howard Jay's performances made the horse
very valuable. He was brought back to Scran
ton in the fall of the year, having earned 83,000
above all expenses. Walden was out of his in
terest in tbe horse by that time. In October
Herrick came here and tendered $1,000 bor
rowed money and interest to Dr. Throop, but
Throop wouldn't cive up the horse, declaring
that the bill of sale showed that he was the
sole owner of the trotter. Throop sold the
horse to Mr. J. D. Ripley, of New York City,
for $5,000, and in December Hernck sued
Throop in tho Supreme Court of New York for
S20.000 damages. In July, ,1855. Herrick got
judgment against Throop for $8,000 and costs.
On tbe payment of 810,000 Herrick withdrew
the suit; but the old man got only a small share
of tbe sum, most of it going to tbe lawyers.
Dr. Throop still hangs on to Howard Jay.

TEEMER MAY NOT ROW.
Ho Has No Boat Ready for the Loulsvillo
Regatta.
ISrrCMJ. TELEQKAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
MoKeesport, September 21. John Teemer
will probably be unable to enter the regatta to
be rowed at Louisville, October 2. Hereceived
word to-day that Ruddock is ill and in bed and
he cannot get his new cedar in time. He
immediately telegraphed to Maine for one. and
should it fall to come be will not have a boat to
row in. The one he claims Hamm run into is
past using again. Teemer expects to arrange
for a race with both O'Connor and Hanlan this
fall. He says that Searle is a whooper, but is
of the opinion that he could defeat him were
they evenly matched, that is if he could row
him in Australia or on the Thames in as good
condition as be, Teemer, could bring himself
while on this side of the water.
He is of the opinion that no American oars
man can go to England or Australia and ap
pear in the same condition that he can bring
himself to in this country, and feels that it
would prove tbe same to foreign oarsmen who
would come to America to row. He thinks he
could defeat Searle in America, and if be could
row and reach condition in a foreign country as
be can here, be would defeat him on bis own
water.
A MISERABLE COLLAPSE.
Nlklrk Declines to Run McCIellnnd
nnd
Sues the Stakeholder.
The one-mile foot race between E. C. Mc
Clelland and Ed Nikirk collapsed miserably
yesterday. As stated in yesterday's Dispatch,
Nikirk failed to put up his final 8100. Each
party had S200 up already. Yesterday morning
i;cn Trimber, McCIelland's backer, offered to
allow McClelland to run for the $200 a side,
although the articles demanded the stakes to
be $300 a side. Nikirk declined to even go
near the track.
In the meantime Nikirk had entered suit
against tbe stakeholder as a means of getting
his (Nikirk's) $200 back. This was a great sur
prise, and if Nikirs: can recover his $200, which
have been fairly and squarely forfeited, then
there is an end to all contests for stakes except
where contestants can merely depend on each
other's word. Articles of agreement will be
useless. The question, however, will be
tested.
Last evening the backer of McClelland called
at this office and stated that McClelland will
give Nikirk five seconds start in a mile next
Saturday for SoOO a side, that is, $300 a side in
addition to the $200 each now up.

A Novel Way of Advertising.
Several men have bten engaged by Thorn
ton Bros., the drygoods merchants, 128 Fed
eral street, Allegheny, to visit every homo
in both cities and suburbs, with a" line of
samples, showing the qnality and price.
Each man represents a different department
and has only to show the goods. Positively
no orders taken bnt tbe samples given if
desired. Their object is to show customers
who trade elsewhere how much lower they
can sell them goods, and the wide difference
between cash and time prices. Thousands
of customers go into stores nnd have goods
charged, feeling they are buying goods
cheap. Thornton Bros, have a reputation
for giving the best value in either city, and
this move of getting tbeir cash prices before
the people, will not be appreciated so well
by their competitors as the consumers. Any
courtesy extended their representatives will
be appreciated.

A REQUEST TO RESIGN
The Trades Council Asks Mr. Marvin
to Vacate the Presidency
OP THE EXPOSITION SOCIETY.
It Eesults From That Musical Bow Over the
Great Western Band.
GOY.BBATEE WHITES ANOTHER LETTEE.
A Flan Arranged to Bare a labor Htmber ca toe
Ecienne Commission.
The Trades Council met lait night, de
nounced the action of Organizer Flannery
in admitting the Great "Western Band into
the K. of L.. and asked Mr. Marvin to re
sign as President of the Exposition. Gov
ernor Beaver arranged a plan to have labor
represented on the Revenue Commission.
The Trades Council of Western Pennsyl
vania met in regular session last night.with
Joseph L. Evans in the chair. It was a
large meeting and an adjournment was not
reached until almost midnight. The
trouble over the music at the Exposition
came up again and was discussed at length.
Finally the following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, The Trades Council of "Western
Pennsjlvania requested of tbe Directors of tho
Pittsburg Exposition Society, previous to the
opening of the Exposition, that they employ
only a union band for the season; and
Whereas, Tbe directors of the Exposition
Society havo never seen fit to answer tbe
committee relative to their action; and
Whereas, We know that the Great Western
Band, which had a contract with the Expo
sition Society to play the season, at tbe time
tho committee called was not a union band;
and,
Whereas, It is reported that since that time
the Great Western Band has been organized
into a Knights of Labor Assembly, though we
feel confident that but a minority of them are
Knights of Labor, the remainder being non
union men, or expelled and suspended mem
bers of the Musical Mutual Protective Union;
and.
Whereas, We believe that President Marvin,
of the Exposition Society, who bas been con
sistently inimical to organized labor, is largely
responsible for the employment of this band,
and the disregard of the wishes of organized
labor in the matter; therefore, be it
FLANNERY CALLED DOTVN.
Resolved, That tbe Central Trades Council of
Western Pennsylvania condemns the action oj
John Flannery, the K. of L. organizer, for or
ganizing part of the Great Western Band into
the K. of L, and that we place it upon public
record that his action has set at naught the de
mands of organized labor, and that he should
be avoided by every union man for his course.
Resolved, That while we believe the griev
ance by Organizer Flannery's action has been
partly transferred from the Exposition Society
to his shoulders and those who aided him, we
believe it would be for tbe best interests ot the
Exposition it President Marvin was requested
to resiem that office, and we hereby make that
request publicly: and
Resolved, That on account of the condition
which the musical dispute bas assumed, that
we leave it to the judgment of all union men
to patronize tbe Exposition or not, as they may
individually see fit to do.
The resolutions were adopted.
Secretary Ward read a letter from Gov
ernor Beaver, as follows:
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. ) .
Executive Chamber. J
Hakkisburg, September 18, I8S9. )
Mr. Charles 1". Ward, Secretary, etc., Jflttsburg,
l'a.:
MY Dear Sib Your letter of the 9th instant
has been received. I have bad a consultation
with tbe Attorney General since its receipt.
The conclusion which be has reached is the
only one which can be arrived at under the cir
cumstances, namely, that there is no way by
which the resolution, as it was messaged from
the Legislature to the office of tbe Secretary of
the Commonwealth, can be changed except by
the Legislature itself.
SECRETARY STEWART'S PLAN.
I have had an Interview this moraine; with
the Secretary of Internal Affairs, Hon. Ihomas
J. Stewart, in which we have outlined a course
which I think will be entirely satisfactory to
your people, and will accomplish practically
the same results as if tbe surprising and unac
countable blunder had not been made by one
of the transcribing clerks. Mr. Stewart and I
havo agreed that when the Revenue Commis
sion meets be will address a communication
to them recitine tbe facts of the run svnd
nominating a member of a commission to rep
resent the wageworkers as contemplated in the
amendment, which. I have no doubt passed
both Houses of the Legislature, but which was
omitted in finally transcribing the resolution.
This communication will ask that the com
mission elect a gentleman nominated by
him as a regular member of the com
mission; that the money appropriated for
compensation be divided among the several
members; that be be allowed to vote and sign
his name to the report just as if the omission
bad not occurred. The other members of the
commission will, no doubt, under tbe circum
stances, cordially assent to this proposition.
Several of them whom I have seen will.I know,
do so. This will enre all the difficul
ties and annoying defect which occurs in
.1. a .Mnlnhnn .nd .vill .va ..n,... ..An..!..
all the rights which they could have under any
circumstances. Tbe report of tbe commission
will simply be a recommendation in any event,
and will have no binding force that anyone can
take any exceptions to or advantage of the
omission.
NO BAD FAITH PRACTICED.
I cannot believe that any bad faith was prac
ticed in this matter, for the reason that I can
conceive no object in acting mala fide.
If tbe arrangement which Mr. Stewart
and I have agreed upon this morning is
carried out, even if there was bad faitb, wo
will circumvent it, and put your people in a
right position with the commission and before
tbe public
Hoping that this will be satisfactory, and
that we will be able to carry it out as proposed,
and desiring to co-operate with you in every
possible way to secure your rights in the prem
ises, I am very cordially vours.

t HOW IT IS DONE.
A Surgeon Who Removes Hair From Ladles
Faces With Electricity.
A source of great annoyance to a woman
is the growth of unnatural hair on her face.
Many women have hair growing upon the
upper lip, or on the cheek or chin, for the
removal of which, witnout the making of a
scar, they would be willing to pay almost
any sum of money. Various decoctions are
sold for the purpose of removing such hair.
They are usually called depiliatory reme
dies or powders. They merely destroy the
hair externally, without killing the roots,
and therefore are only temporary in their
effect. A surgeon who uses electricity as a
remedy yesterday said:
"The principal ingredient of those depili
atory powders is lime. The idea of using
lime was obtained from the tanning busi
ness, where lime is used to remove hair from
hides. The method which I employ is
called electrolysis, which means the decom
position of tissues by electricity. I use an
electric needle, which is made with an ex
ceedingly fine point. This needle is con
nected with the negative pole of a galvanic
battery. The point of the needle is inserted
into the follicle, alongside of the hair. In
about 20 seconds the hair is killed by tbe
electric current. The root or germ is de
stroyed, so that the hair never grows again.
I can destroy 12 or 15 hairs at a sitting of
half an hour. I have taken from the face
of a woman as much hair as I have on my
face."
The surgeon is a well-bearded man.
Continuing, he said: "It is surprising
the number of women who have blemishes
of unnatural hair. Thirty or thirty-five
women ont of every hundred have superflu
ous hair on their face some time during
their lives. I remove also moles, warts and
birthmarks. Small blemishes like moles
and warts are removed by tbe electric nee
dle, which takes them off permanently. In
the case of a birthmark, which is often large
and sometimes nearly purple.I nse a cluster
of six fine electric needles. They are in
serted into the mark, and the current
blanches or bleaches the skin near the nee
dles. There is a small amount of pain con
nected with that operation and it requires
some time, but the effect is permanent. X
use the needle also for the removal of in
growing eyelashes or wild hairs, which are
frequent.
HOT Ifl HIGH PAYOR.
It Is Claimed Doctor Are Not Wanted to
Tench Physiology in tho Schools.
On Friday night, the Allegheny High
School Committee decided to engage two
physicians, one male and one female, to
teach physiology, anatomy and hygiene in
the new High School. M. W. Lewis, of the
Central Board of Education, of Pittsburg,
was seen yesterday, in the absence of City
Superintendent Luckey, about this move
on the part of the committee.
Mr. Lewis stated that the Idea of getting
professional ladies and gentlemen to take
the places of ordinary teachers was qnite
novel. In the Pittsburg High School, ordi
nary teachers are engaged for instruction in
anatomy, physiology and hygiene. They
do their work well and thoroughly. Only
a certain amount of each subject is required
to be taught, and the teachers can teach all
all that the law specifies. Too
much instruction in these matters
would only overload the pupils. 9.1
they wanted to study these matters more
fully they might go to a university or medi
cal school. And whether the move of the
Allegheny High School arose from any
scarcity of good physiology teachers, Mr.
Lewis said that such teachers were to be
found in plenty. Whenever a vacancy of
the kind ocenrred in Pittsburg High School
there were always numerous applicants,
many well qualified for the position. The
Allegheny High School only offered a
salary of 1,000 to the proposed physician
tutors, while in Pittsburg the physiology
teachers get a good deal more.
Mr. J. B. Arbuckle, principal of the
Ninth ward school, Allegheny, said:. 'T
don't believe this nonsensical proposition
will ever pass the Board ot Control. Good
physiologists are to be found,and besides an
ordinary physiology teacher can devote all
his time to a class, while the physician will
probably have a little private practice to at
tend to in addition to his or her school
duties. Every other high school in the
country is satisfied with regular teachers,
and the election of physicians is only taking
the bread out of deserving people's mouths.
I am afraid the cranks have got several
fingers in the pie."

ITS BUSINESS CLOSED.
The Flood Committee of Pittsburg Tarns
Over AHlho Money to tbe State Anlhor-Ities-Not
Afraid of Criticism.
The Pittsburg committee for the relief of
the Johnstown sufferers held a meetine at
the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce yes
terday. Chairman-McCreery occupied his
official position and all the other members
were present. Several small bills and mat
ters oi minor importance were arranged and
then the matter of disposing of the balance
of the fend, about $160,000, now in the
hands of Treasurer Tnompson, was taken
up. This was arranged by the following
resolution:.
Besolved. That this committee, aware of tbe
grave difficulties that have prevented a wise
and equitable distribution, at an earlier date,
of the funds at tbe disposal of the Bute Com
mission, and recognizing tbe care and labor
bestowed by them In discbarge of tbe onerous
duties laid upon them, would hereby express
their general and hearty approval of tne man
ner in which tbelr wort has been done.
Discontent with the awards in som e quarters
is to be expected. It 'is impossible to please
everybody. Criticism' from tbe wise few who
alwars know Musfwbat ought to be done in all
circumstances" will follow, as it has preceded,
tbeir action, but the commission can safely
commit the final reu6rt of their work to the
judgment of the generous donors, whose gifts
they have sought with sincere purpose wisely
to disburse. '
We, therefore, direct onr Treasurer, William
R. Thompson, to transfer to the State Commis
sion tbe sum ot 1160,000 to he used, with our
previous transfer of fiOO.000. at the forthcom
ing distribution in Conemaugh Valley.
The resolution was adopted, and Treas
urer Thompson will at once turn over tbe
money to the State Commission. The
first transfer of 5400,000 was made on July
26, and that together with the 5160,000 will
make $560,000 to go into the next award to
the sufferers, all coming from this city.
There is still a balance, of a few thousand
dollars left in the hands of Treasurer Thomp
son, the committee thinking it best to re
tain it for use in caring for an isolated case
here and there.
There was also an auditing committee
appointed to go over the accounts of the
Treasurer, composed of Controller E. S.
Morrow, of this city; Governor J. B.
Foraker, of Ohio; Governor George Luce,
of Michigan, and Mayor De Witt C.
Creiger, of Chicago. Treasurer Thompson
will get his accounts ready for this commit
tee, when they will be properly audited
and made public through the proper chan
nels. The famous letter of Governor Beaver to
Chairman McCreery, relative to the disposi
tion of that 5125,000, was not considered,
though the members talked about it in a
good natured tray after the adjournment.
The meeting adjourned to meet again at the
call of the Chair.
