rsrCCtAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
Cixcinsatz, May 11 "Calliope" Miller was
the bright particular star
to-day, and bo aided Herr
Schmltt in bis most ef
ficient whitewash act. It
drizzled all morning until
within as hour or two of
calling play. The sun then
coaxed 800 people out In
hopes of seeing a came,
i and one was plaj ed In tbo
mua. It waa just tbe day
for errors. McPb.ee made
a brave run for Hemp's
fly, but alippedand missed
it. Laltoqucputa fly Into
the seats and took third,
scoring a moment later on
Duryca's error of Kelty's
fl). The l'itlsburgers were
JfOtST AND CIIEEKFUL
Foghorn Miller and I.a Koque Indulged In a few
calliope ducts on the lines, which sounded like
msslc oroliLAssoclatlon times. The Colts were full
orthcellxlror lire. Grandpa Dunlap, who has
been pictured as having outlived his usefulness,
gota mote on hlmteir In the third, when chances
for runs seemed pood. He stopped Hollldaj's
grouaderand then doubled up .Mcl'bec, whose fl)
uau oeeninuuea bybunday. Duryea wasou sec
ond at tbe time, having been lilt by the pitcher.
Two more Keds reached first bae In the next Inn
ing, Knighton balls and Mullane on his bit, but
they were left. In their hair the Colts
JUMPED ON THE CYCLONE
with both reet. Boat hit safely Into right and
Berger followed with one to tbe left, bchmltt
sacrificed. Thenbunday pounded the sphere to
center Like an arrow from a bow the "Bug"
returned the ball, and as Berger came sliding In
on Koat's heels, he hit the ball In Keenan's hands
fur an out. Maybe they didn't open up savagely
on Durjealn the filth. Hemp and Miller made
great solid lrlcs, hut nothing followed andtbey
were left. Kelt knocked out the Beds' hopes In
tbe sixth by a running pull-down of Kelllv's line
Or in deep left. -Mullane as responsible ror
Benrrr's run In the sixth. Tony spared Boat.
Berger forced htm outwent to second on bchmltt's
scientific sacrifice. 6tole third and scored on bun
day's hit. The score:

FEA1TK TALKS AGAIK".
Tbe P. L. Secretary Explain tbe Cuuse of
Such Henry Hitting.
Chicago, May 13.-Sccretary Brunell, of the
Players' National League, said to-night: "The
reason for tho larger scores lb. qur championship
games Is not that our playing ball Is livelier, but
on account of tbe hard hitting being done by bats
men of our teams. No baseball organization
ever had so many crack batsmen In Its clubs. In
addition to the batting stars oftbe old League, wa
have gained from tho American Association such
men as Orr, Blerbauer, Slovcy, Griffin, Hhlndle,
MUllgan, Larkln, Browning, Vlsncr, Comlskey,
O'-SelU Latham and llojle. And Incidentally
comes base-running strength through Blerbauer,
Stovey, Urlflln. bhlndlc Comlskey and Latham.
What wonder is It that base running and batting
has Increased? But there are other reasons. The
weather has been against the perfect condition of
our pitchers: the. extra 18 Inches In the pitch
ing distance has made It necessary for them to
almost learn over again the eflector their curve
balls, and our larger grounds have Increased the
value or long bits as a factor In runs. The
pitchers with great speed have had tbe best or It
so far. With better weather, and after they Dave
mastered the Increased distance from position to
nlate. the Plavers' Learue nltr.hera will h all
right, and there will be plenty of small score
games, but not, I hope, so many asrormerly.
"The pitching distance was Increased to reduce
tbe number or small score games In answer to a
public demand as strong as that ror the double
umpire system, and more comfortable standi and
seats In baseball parks. The public pays well ror
Its baseball, and lias a right to ask ror any change
In reason. One or our principal objects will be to
satisfy such requests All baseball managers will
find such tactics more profitable than spending
time In literary and verbal howls about the death
or tbe noblest game on earth."

In speaking of long-distance throwing. Denny
Lyons says: "1 don't believe In long-distance
throwing. Jim Peeples was one of the boys with
an Iron arm. Be used to needlessly tarow the
ball all around. Look at him to-day. Harry
Stovev was very much worried after he made his

for over a week, and he advised everybody to stay

Louisville, May IJ. As the great race for the
Derby draws near the Interest evinced In the race
Is evident on every hand and although the pros
pects seem to Indicate that It will be decided on a
heavy track this does not lessen Its Importance
one lota to the almost numberless racing clan
that have gathered aud are hourly arriving In
this city. At the track everything is a scene of
bustle and activity. At this writing upwards or
400 horses are quartered there and at (east 71 more
will arrive rrom Lexington to-nlgbt or in the
morning. Among this number arc a majority or
performers that have run with distinction. All
up the lino so far, and others or the class of
Spokane and Proctor Knott who are yet to face
the flag this season.
On the board to-night only six horses are
bulletined as starters In the Derby, making It the
smallest field, save In 1880-81, that has ever gone
to the post in this classic .race. What Is lacking
In numbers, however. Is made up In quality, and
the field as a whole is fairly good, sufficient to
Insure a great contest and a determined finish
which should be to the last moment in doubt.
Kilcy and Robespierre are coual favorites. When
tbe track odds are put up to-morrow, but one
horse in the race will be backed more heavily
than Bill Letcher, whose followers rati to figure
bow be can lose. On paper he seems to have a
great chance, his recent work having been more
satisfactory than any colt named as a starter, not
een excepting ltlley aud itobesplerrc. Prince
Fnnso has also been going like great guns, but
outside or his stable, lew bellcvo that he will be
able to Inst tbe Derby distance. As to Palisade
and Outlook, the other two starters. It Is the
general opinion that both are outclassed at tbe
distance and wclgbts.

STEYENSONATWORK.
Allegheny's Librarian Commences by
Putting in a Busy Day,
WHAT HE THIKKS HIS DUTIES ARE.
A Plan hj Which the Public Can Assist in
the Choice of Books.
AMERICAN AUTHORS TO BE PREFERRED
Librarian Stevenson, of the Allegheny
Free Library, pitched right in yesterday
and made a good start upon the duties of
the position to which he was elected the
night before. He made the rounds of the
Pittsburg and Allegheny Libraries, and
chatted with tbe heads thereof, and spent
the afternoon at the homes of several North
side gentlemen who rejoice in the appella
tion of "bookworm." He was seen last
evening at the Library and asked to indi
cate the general plan which his ideas will
tend toward in the equipment of the
library. He said:
"Chairman Dahlinger is an enthusiast
upon the library subject, and the result of
an interchange of our mutual ideas is that
the equipment of the library must be begun
properly, and with regard to the importance
of the inception of the library. Naturally,
what can be bought with 810,000 will be but
the germ of a library. It is hoped to re
ceive private gifts of books, and we have
agreed that the time has now come to for
mally invite cirts or contributions of books,
now that there 1b somebody to receive them.
A GOOD TIMS TO BEGIN.
"Anyone who desires to offer books to the
library should come forward promptly, for
the excellent reason that books in hand
will not have to be purchased. The
books can be sent to tbe library,
where they will be stored and listed, and
kept in good order until the work of cata
loguing begins. Chairman Dahlinger is
making up the sub-committee which wilj go
to Eastern cities. Tbe party will probably
start next Monday, and make a brief stay in
ench of the tbree cities agreed upon. I have
in hand a largo nnmber of catalogues oi
AmerlcMi and lorelgn libraries, and lists of
publications of the leading firms in this
country and abroad, and I bave addressed
communications to librarians elsewhere,
from which I expect valuable answers. As
to the time in which we may reasbuably
hope to open the doors to tbe public, it is
hard to say. The Pratt Library, of Balti
more, was not opened until the librarian
had worked nine months.
MAY BE IN THBEE MONTHS.
"Mr.' Benney, of the Allegheny Library,
who is well posted on such matters, told me
to-day that the purchsning, shelving and
cataloguing of 310,000 worth of books could not
fiossibly bedone by tbe most practiced librarian
nside or, three months. No time will be lost,
however, compatible with good work and care
ful treatment of tbe Interests involved.
"As to what, in my opinion, should constitute
a library adapted to the needs of tbe people of
Allegheny, I have devoted some thought. The
solid and ordinary works coming Into most
general demand must be the tirst considera
tion. To arrive at an idea of what those works
should be, the public should help us. What I
propose is as follows: We will have aeveral
thousand blanks printed, upon which will be
.paces for names add addresses, and blank
lines udoq which can he indicated favorite
. . ll.Z.J M ..
books and authors of the same. These blanks
will be distributed In the library, high school,
etc, and can be filled out and left at tbe Li
brary. These names would be a groat help to
the committee and librarian, as ne could then
tell what the people want and right there Is
the secret of the successful library. In this
line would be a plebiscite on popular books,
conducted by tbe newspapers, the submission
of lists of twenty books by pur local literary
amateurs or professionals, or any method by
which tbe public could have a voice in the
choice of books. Whatever books we have
should be more of the interesting than tbe ob
struse. I bave always maintained that book-
reading is one part educational ana nine parts
relaxation.
ANOTHEB ADVANTAGE.
"Popular literature has another advantage
it is cheap. Books of science or reference are
very costly, and should be considered further
on. They should be recommended by spe
cialists, such as Prof. Brasbear, Dr. Riddle, Dr.
Holland. Prof. Langley, W. L. Bcalfe and
others, who make special researches in special
lines. I am certain that the public will take a
lively interest In the library If it has a band in
tbe formation of tbe institution.
"There is one other matter tbat I wish to em-
Ehaslze. That is, the chance that we shall
ave in tbls library to bring into prominence
American writers and authors. I bave seen
American works deeply appreciated abroad,
while sinking Into oblivion at home. American
history, narrative, fiction, scloncc, and even
philosophy, comparos more than favorably
with the standard publications of Englishmen,
and in many respects tbe superiority is with
our authors. Tbore must bo left out of tbls
calculation, of course, Dickens, Thackoray,
Matthew Arnold, Scott and otber works which
no library would be complete without. But
tho principle exists, nevertheless, aud should
obtain recognition In tbls library.
'There Is abundant opportunity for good
reading matter In our own Btato and local his
tory, and I know of several collections of such
literature which may eventually come to tbo
library Intact. But the subject grows upon
one until It Is hard to be confronted with finan
cial limitations, with so much room for books
and such a limitless field of literature to choose
from."

AK UNAPPBECIATED GOD.
ThoDlvInlty of Iho nemben New Zealand
em Returned toTbrmby Mall.
New York, May K Tbere was a heathen
divinity in one of Uncle Sam's mall bags tbat
lett thi3 city, westward bound, last night. It
was tbo Maori god, which has been in tbe seiz
ure room of the Custom House for about a
month unnoticed except by irreverent report
ers who havo written scofflnc things about It.
It will arrive at San Francisco within a week,
and will be transported tbence to Auckland,
whence it came to the unappreciative western
world months ago. 1
A wealthy antiquarian connected with the
Musenm of Natural History asked Messrs. Ar
nold, Cheney & Co.. importers or tbls city, to
get him tbe stone deity about a year ago. They
wrote to their agent in Auckland, who told a
Mr, Dauneforth, dealer In antiquities, to get
the idol, Mr. Dauneforth got it and sent it
here with a letter, In which be wrote that the
god was a rare one, and wortb $200.' It came,
accompanied by a book telling all about it. The
postofilce authorities turned It over to tbe Cus
tom! House, where the sacrilegious scribes
saw it. Tbe antiquarian thonght the Jests
wrrltenl about tbe prod had hurt Its
value, and he refused to pay 1200
for it, even though ho could have
itadmlttted free of duty as an antiquity. It
was assossed bv tbo Custom Honsn nntbnritlea
at S160. Anybody who wanted It wonld bave to
pay tbo duty of 40 per cent, or Sea Mr. Hecley,
of the firm of Arnold, Cheney ilCo., said he
couldn't find anybody willing to pay CO cents
for tho idol. He thought tbat tbe only thing
left tor him to do was to send it back to tho
man who prized it most, Mr. Dauneforth, of
Auckland. He got permission from tbe Law
Department of the Custom House to do this,
bad tbo god released, and directed it and tho
book that came with It to tho homo of its wor
shippers. Mr. Secloy says as a mascot tbe god
Is no good, as it cansed tbe firm lots of monoy.
MUCH STBAKGEB THAN FICTION.
A Switch Turned While it Train I In Mo
tion, a Smnshup, nnd a Doatb.
Novelists aro often accused of drawing
drafts npon their imagination which no senslblo
reader can honor, but a fatality at East Pales
line, O,, last night, must be placed to tbe credit
of thoso real-life Incidents which abash tbe
powers of tho most fertile mind. A Fort
Wayne freight train was ncaring East Pales
tine last evening, when a hrakeman whose
name could not be learned, ran ahead of tho
train to throw a switch. He met with some
difficulty in handling the switch bar and it
suddenly gave way Just as tbo lorward trucks
of the first car passed and the change in the
switch threw the rear trucks of tbo same car
upon anotber line of track.
The car lurched aud toro apart and two others
crushed In upon it, making a frightful wreck
and killing the brakoman Instantly. His re
mains were brought to Allegheny and taken to
Undertaker Lowry's establishment on Ohio
street. Traffic was not delayed very long. Old
railroaders say tbat such an accident Is quite
without precedent in the history of railroads
ur rauruaaiufr. xne uniortunate victim was
crusbed out of all semblance of humanity.

fSPECIAL TELXOI1AM TO THE DISPATCH.1
New York, May 13. The corner-stone
of the new Musio Hall at Fifty-seventh
street and Seventh avenue was laid this af
ternoon in the presence of COO representatives
of all the large musical organizations in the
city. Tbe exercises opened at 4:30 o'clock
with a blare of trumpets. Morris Reno,
President of the Mnsio Hall Company,
made the introductory address. Every New
York musician, he said, ought to rejoice that
New York musical societies were about to
have a common home: No kind of music
would be excluded.
This common home of all New York
musicians would be due to tho generosity
and public spirit of Andrew Carnegie,
whom Mr. Beno then introduced to the
audience. Mr. Carnegie simply said that
he was glad to call on Mr. E. Henry Hyde,
President of the Philharmonic Society, to
tell the friends of mnsio what they might
expect from the new hall.
TURNED EABLY TO MUSIO.
The first things man made alter getting
shelter over his head, Mr. Hyde said, were
a harp and an organ; that is, a stringed and
a wind instrument. This fact was signifi
cant of tbe inherent desire of every human
being for a mode of expression sweeter than
language. The musical art, developed from
this little peginnlncr, had reached to-day
near to perfection. New York was one of
the greatest musical cities in the world ana
excelled in every variety of music. The
kings and qneens of song and instrument
made pilgrimages to it. AH such travelers
and all lovers of music here wonld soon find
a hospitable home in. the new hall which
had first been planned by Mr. Carnegie and
would be helped to completion by his gen
erosity. The new hall would have all the
conveniences to sight and sonnd that tend to
keep the musical performer and his hearers
in harmony.
"All success, then, to tbe Musio Hall
Association, to Mr. Carnegie and to Mrs.
Carnegie, who is about to lay the corner
stone." -
Mrs. Carnegie patted with a trowel the
bed of mortar under the suspended stone,
and when the stone had settled into place
she gave it three taps with a mason's mallet.
The band played and everyone shouted
"Carnegie." Mr. Carnegie responded to the
call by explaining that be was nut the only
builder nor the future owner of the new
hall, but that many others had contribnted
proportionately more of their wealth toward
erecting it than he. Music, he thought, was
kindred to all good things, and therefore
the music hail, when completed, should be
open to charitable enterprises. He hoped
the hall would become as celebrated in the
history of New York as Fanenil Hall had
been in the history of Boston.
CHEERS FOB CABNEOIE.
Mr. E. Henry Hyde proposed and led
three cheers for Mr. Carnegie. The box
under the corner-stone contained the his
tories of the Oratorio and Symphony Socie
ties, the by-laws of the Symphony Society,
Mnsic Hall Association, Philharmonic So
ciety, programmes ot nnmerouscity mnsical
organizations and lists of tneir officers, a
copy of "Sulimeth," by Dr. Leopold Dam
roscb, specimens nt' circnlating coins, copies
of to-day's daily newspapers and pictures of
Andrew Carnegie and Dr. Damroscb.
Tbe new Music Hall will have a frontage
of 175 feet on Seventh avenue and of 150 feet
on Fifty-seventh street. Its height will be
121 feet. The basement extends 26 ieet
below the curb. The building will contain
three large concert rooms. The big hall,
with a seating capacity of 3,000, will be on
the first floor, and another hall in the base
ment will seat 1,200 persons. The room for
chamber music will be in the lateral build
ing, an annex on the east side of the main
building, and will accommodate about 550
persons. Tbe materials will be speckled
brick, granite and terra cotta. The main
entrance in Fifty-seventh street will be be
tween Aberdeen granite columns, and will
lead to a vestibule 70 feet wide and 36 feet
high. The cost of the whole strncture will
be about f 1,200,000.
WANT PBICES MAINTAINED.
Class Manufacturer Trying to Prevent Cut
ting: by Jobbers.
Chicago, May 13. A committee of
seven members of the Sheet Glass Manu
facturers' Association, appointed at their
convention in Chicago last week, were in
conference to-day with about 30 of the lead
ing glass jobbers of the West.
The manufacturers havo decided to shut
down their blasts on the 1st and 15th of
June in place of the customary date, July
1, this action being dependent, however,
upon an agreement by the jobbers to main
tain prices at the present rate, tbere having
recently been auite extensive cutting in

Be careful of your diet You do not need

winter.
Bering may be beautifnl. bnt it is treacber
ous. Do not let it deceive you into a cold, at
fever, malaria or pneumonia.
Do not throw off your winter flannels too
early. It is better to suffer a little inconve.

If you feel tired, feverish or overheated. do
not rush off and take "spring medicines."
Cool yourself down and In this way help you:

If you feel hot and thirsty, do not drink largo
quantities of water or other "Ions" drinks. It
is much better to take a little pure whiskey and
water, which will quench tbe thirst, tone tha

Remember that only pure whiskey should
ever be taken into tbe system, and that tbe

MARQUIS de LAFAYETTE,
Washington's great friend and ally of Revolutionary
days, was descended from an. ancient family of Au
vergne, in the Upper Loire. He went to America early
in his career and espoused the cause of the colonists.
The great aid he gave them in their struggles was not
forgotten, for when he visited this country in 1824
Congress voted him $200,000 and a tract of land.
