14T- THE FJTTSBTJR&1 .DISPATCH, SUNDAY? JTJtTB-l; '1890 w k fr I REVIEW OF SPORTS h The Controversy Between John Ward and Spalding. SOME FALLACIES KOTEB. A Few Opinions Regarding the Two Local Baseball Teams. J. L SULLIYAN AKD JOE McAULIFPE One of the Interesting features of tbe week has been tbe controversy on tbe baseball situa tion between Messrs. A. G. Spalding. John 1L "Ward and some of the newspapers. When con testants begin to reason it Is a hopeful sign, and tbe discussion just referred to throws out a gleam of hope for the abolition of the conflict Ins; dates at least. The discussion, however, as far as .Messrs. Ward and Spalding are con cerned. Is not of very much benefit to tbe public because eacb gcnvleman will not tee anything; good on the opposite side or anything bad in bis own side. A partisanship of this kind diminishes the worth of the arguments or statements made because we know before hand under all circumstances Mr. Spaldinc will claim absolute rigfct for tbe National League and Mr. Ward will do the samo for his . organization. However, there has been much said that is interesting. The chief question at issue has been that relating to whether or not the Players League is responsible for the pres ent unpleasantness. Mr. Spalding contends that it has and Mr. Ward just as emphatically contends that it has not, and argues that tbe National League is responsible. As a non-partisan I claim that there is fault to be found on both sides, but that the new League is much more responsible for the trouble than the old one. My readers will remember that this has been my contention right along, and now that tbe question has become the leading one of tbe weekldeemit of interest to say something more on tbe matter. I do not for one moment ques tion the right of tbe ball players or anybody else to form a baseball organization and play in any city where they think it profitable. 'J hat Is an inherent right, and just as much theirs as it is anybody else's, but I do argue that the method of exercising this right or the means used in potting it into operation gave every in ducement to a bitter conflict; indeed, the cir cumstances were snch that nothing but a life and death struggle on tbe part of the National League could ensue. I am aware that Mr. Ward contends that tbe Flayers' League has made every offer to join in a national agree ment, and that it has also given opportunities to the old League to avoid conflicting dates. Now this mav sound all right until the methods of exercising the right I have referred to are fully explained, and as the question at issue is of such grave importance we bad better look into it carefully, so that we may be fully able to determine on which side tbe greatest fault lies. The Case Stated. What I contend is that the players left the National League in a way that left no roob for conciliation, and certainly no room for any doubt as to their object being tbe total exter mination of tbe National League. Now, I am not going to contend that tbe National League has any more right to exist than any other base ball organization. It has not; but we ought not to kill it without giving it a fair chance to defend itself. This is very essential particu larly at present, when Players' League authori ties are talking so much about obliterating from baseball all the -un-American" principles and mles connected with it. Well, then I contend that tbe players did not give the old League a fair chance to defend itself and I argue further that the players deserted the National League under the most questionable circumstances. I have argued this point before and at present I mcrejv wish to refer to it. Last year every National League Club fully understood that every player was sure to play with those clubs this year. The players themselves verified that understanding, both by tongue and pen. This assurance prompted expenditures on the part of tbe National League that certainly would cot have taken place had this understanding not existed. Even when tbe players were making their demands their leaders Dlainly stated that if these demands were granted there would be no split. But despite these proclamations and without any warning, the players in a body left the National League and with the full expectation that ibeir wholesale desertion would totally wreck the old organi zation. New capitalists were imported into the new scheme whose public avowals from time to time have given us to Dlainly understand that the death of the National League from its present territory was the great object of the revolt. This is a fair statement of tbe case, and I ask if under tbe circumstances there is not more blame for tbe trouble attached to tba new League than to the old J Can anvone of us who has a grain of courage, manliness or spirit of independence tbink for one minute tuat the old League could do other than defend itself and under the circumstances give or take no quarter! Why for tho National League to have reached out tbe hand of friendship to the new League would have been like a man aiuing ana abetting bis own mur derer, it It is this mode- of reasoning that lorces me to tbe conclusion I sow come to and I tbink that Mr. Ward is wrong when he contends tbat tbe new League is not respon sible for tbe present trouble. There was a way to avoid it,and that w ay I pointed out last year. Had tbe players fulfilled all moral obligations and carried out all common understandings tbey could have formed thnr organization this year. Had this been done tbere could not have been any objection, and they certainly would have had tbe goodwill of many more people than at present. But prospects of wealth were painted so extravagantly Lefore tbem that they did not for one moment stop to consider tbe right or wrong of the matter. They imagined an Eldo rado only a short distance ahead of thein, and they rushed font fully expecting that tbere would be no National League to bother tbem. This great mistake has beeen fully discovered, and it is now quite clear tbat the way sug gested by this paper last year was the best way. a Interesc in tbr Game Mr. Ward contends that public interest in the national game is not waning, and argues that tbere is more interest iu it now than tbere was last year. I cannot help thinking that a con tention of this kind indicates that tho con tender is of opinion that tbe new League is somewhat at fault. If it was the general opinion that the National League was respon sible for any decrease of interest in the na tional games, depend upon it now League sup porters would have beon clamoring right and lelt abont the decreased interest. I am per suaded tbat the fact tbat tbe majority of tbe public believe tbe new League to be responsi ble for most of the trouble prompts iU support ers to take the very avowed position that base ball interest bas not fallen off. Day after day we find tbe attendances are less than those of the minor leagues: on tbe public streets where last year scarcely auytbing but baseball was tbe tberoe of conversation, tbe game is now hardly mentioned. Mr. Ward, like many oth ers, refers to tbe attendance of the first few games. But, bless us, that is no argument. Tbe novelty orinnovation caused abnormal attend ances at tbe start and, reallr. under tbe circum stances, tbey should have been greater. As soon as tbe excitement, or rather curiosity, was over, what did we find? Why meager little crouds in almost every ball park. The numer ous attendances ranging from SO to 400, speak lot themselves. A Poor Poller. In one of bis letters this week, Mr. Ward makes tbe Terr significant statement tbat if there were no conflicting dates the two base ball organizations could be successful. This is exceedingly important, coming as it does from the recognized leader of tbe Brotherhood. But after making tbe admission, Mr. Ward inti mates that dignity prevents the new League from making any change of schedule now. The public can well understand now what the situation is a quarrel between two parties at tbe expense of tbe pnblic If Mr. Ward's statement means anything at all, it means if tbe public tastes were catered to both tbe Players' and National Leagues could get along all right. This means tbat tbe public desires a change, and tbat being so, why in tbe name of common sense is tbat change not made 7 Nothing surprises me more than to hear prom inent prscslcalobaiebair authorities like Mr. Ward talking about "tbey don't intend to weak en and change tba scbenle." Nothing could be more childish and more opposed to the promptings of a sensible mind. No greater proof than Mr. Ward's statement is needed to show that almost the only object of the Plarers' League is to completely exterminate the "National League; If this were cot so then Mr. Vvard would certainly not make any such statement as he did. It is cot too late to change the schedule, and if s change Is not effected at once the public ought to turn its back nn tba came entirely. One club at once is sufficient, with two games in tbe city at onco the na tional game becomes something of a nuisance. The Local Cuba. To talk about the local baseball clubs is to talk about something that is very disagreeable. I know that nothing is more distasteful to ma than to have to say anything about the clubs at present, because there is nothing pleasant to talk about. All tbat one can do Is to enumerate faults and make apologies far them. This is never a pleasant task; but regardless of wbat it is, we cannot pass me teams unnoticed. xast week I gave it as my opinion tbat tbe local National League club ban so far been a rank failure. Well, theWayers' League club is not awbit better. Muchuras not expected from tbe youngsters, but ei wbat little we did ex pect hasn't been fonbcosSng. There were great things expected fromthe "aggregation of stars," however, and not the smallest of any of the many hopes have been realized. I don't think there was ever a basakall clnb more dis appointing than the local P. L. club has been tbis season. No club has played worse, and we all thougbtrtliat no club would play better than tbe club in question would. Tho players have put off tbeir hands some of the rankest kind of baseball playing that has ever been seen. There have been one or two exceptions, cer tainly. Manager Hanlon has stood promi nently out ana above his colleagnes. He has been doing some great work, indeed, and deserves the plaudits of his ad mirers. But not a good word of any kind can be said about tbe majority of the team. I have always had my misgivings about tbe Infield, and I am now almost convinced that it is just about as poor as any tbat I know of. With tbe exception of Beckley, not a man is to be relied nnon either in fieldinc or battlnr. This is a cold and unpleasant fact. It is not a pleasure to me to have to state it, nut tbe time for praising everybody all round regardless of their true abilities is past. Some time ago I stated tbat it would be some time before we conld expect to see our pitchers in good condi tion. Tbey have not" arrived at tbat stage yet, and goodness knows when tbey will. There is considerable excuse for John Tener. He has bad much to worry him since the season opened, and to look alter tbe finances of the club and pitch ball is about too much for even a very big man like Mr. Tener. There is, how ever, something sadly wrong with the other pitchers. I am not in a position to aeflnltely know, wbat are the feelings of those directly interested in the local Player's club, but 1 am satisfied that tbey have not such a glowing opinion of baseball now tbat they bad some time ago. I cannot see how the players of the new local team have realized their salaries if somebody has not gone doarn into his pock ets, and very deep. The receipts most cer tainly haven't yielded those salaries, and if matters don't get any better, depend upon it, there will be a cbaage. Tbe hope of one club breaking down is keeping the other one going, and it seems tome that there is just as much reason to expect one club to collapse as the other. Heckcr'a Youngsters. There is not mncb to say about tbe National League club. The players continue to make a somewhat remarkable record, and ther will be home to speak for themselves to-morrow. Time develops the acom into an oak tree; the development is not very raoid, ot course, and if we have patience to wait long enough time may develoD Heckers youngsters into a base ball team. During tbe week tbere have been many rumors, as usnal, regarding the local National League club. It has been located in Indianapolis. Columbus and Detroit. The di rectors continue to deny all of those rumors, and tbey emphatically declare tbat tbey are in tbe ring to stay. If tbey are going to stay tbey must try and secure some better players. This is imperative because nobody can be expected to patronize a team such as the present. I am aware tbat they have done about as well as the local P. L. team, but my remarks apply to the latter team also. They must do better or by all means have the team transferred body and soul to some other city. About the PacIIIsis. There is not mncb to comment on this week relating to pugilism. There has been no promi nent contest and not as much talking as usual. In the early part of the week a statement was nublKbed tothe effect that John L. Sullivan and Joe McAuliffe had been matched to fight for 5,000 a side and tbe championsnip. I declined to believe that statement when it was first sent out, and later news states that the battlo will not take place. There are many things con nected with the matter that seem to say Mc Auliffe and Sullivan won't fight. The latter certainly could not well affora to fight Mc Auliffe for only $5,000 a side when he, Sullivan, has refused to tight otber men for a purse as big as 15.000. If Sullivan was in good condition I don't tbink that a battle between him and Joe McAuliffe would be worth seeing, McAuliffe is not in tbe same class as Sullivan, both men fit and welL But 1 am inclined to think that mncb of this alleged match making is for advertizing purposes. Each time an alleged match is made tbe world is told of it and curiosity is then cen tered on the principals. Svllivan is "on the road" and McAuliffe is also in tbe show busi ness. These facts explain a deal. Mr. Dndg-er Mitchell, Charley Mitchell Is not to be caught napping if he knows of it. He is a shrewd man in his day and generation, and what he does not know is scarcely worth while bothering up. Of late Charles has been talkinc considerably about fighting anybody. Slayin has come to the front with a business-liko challege. aimed particularly at Mitchell. The latter has responded, but only to let Slavin know that he P11") has an unknown who will fight him for 13,000 a side. This is a very nice way of dodcing the issne. bnt T nnnnt h iii ehould object He has offered to fight Sullivan, Jackson or anybody else. There have been many conjectures as to who the unknown Is. Some people say that it is Kilrain. This can hardly be. because Mitchell must know tbat Kilrain will have as much chance to defeat Slavin as a parrot has of knocking an elephant over with its tail. However I snticipate that Slavin will eet a match shortly. The best thing I know of would be an encounter between him and Jackson, An Enterprising; Club. On general occasions I have referred to tbe East End Gymnasium, and I do so again to tay that I am informed that boxing is to be made a specialty there that is. it is to be taught there by an able exponent of the art. I am glad to learn such sews because, of all the exercises that young athletes should indulge, in boxing is one of the very best. Tbe art Is easily learned; it is alwavs nsefnl and an excellent means of physical development: I wish the club every success. Prof. Kirschner is doing great things there and soon the club will be among the greatest in the country, its membership is in creasing every month and doubtless some prominent athletes will be developed in it.

Rad bourn pitches well at times; at otber times he is hammered so hard that tho outfielders have to call time to catch their breath when the can nonading is well under way. Albert Johnson's band of Cleveland warriors was the first West ern team to show up here, and they gave the modest Gumbert a trouncing that made bis admirers homesick. Faddy lebeau's wagon-tongue held an informal interview with Gummie's curves on two different occasions, and tbe balls tbat be nit went into uoston namor and are cow on their way to the home of Paddy's acoestors, close by tbe Cove of Cork.

But, talk about the crowds Hanlon clayed to here: why, tbey were monumental when com pared to tbe corporal's guard that Pittsburg played to in Brooklyn. Ward's team are called Scud horses," and they have won about eight games oa their own grounds when they were unfit for playing purposes.

X think It would pay better, for Brooklyn 1 needs some inducement to draw crowds in pay ing numbers. Comiskey's high-flyers and scalp raisers made tbeir appearance here on Queen Victoria's birthday (May 21). and not witintaniling their seven successive defeats in New York and Brooklyn, thev were greeted by a magnificent audience, numbering just 6,530 sonls according to the faithful turnstile returns. And what a game for Boston to lose t Our boys had tbe game well in hand until the ninth inning when Dan Broutbers dropped one of Billy Nash's rifle shot throws after two men were our. But this did not lose tbe game, for if Tom Brown had not collided, with Hardie Richardson tbe Chicagos would have been beaten. It hap pened in this way: Boston was one ahead with three Chicago men an bases and two hands eat; then a long fly tbat looked safe was hit in Richardson's direction, and he got under it only to have the ball knocked out of his hands by Tom Brown who bad also started after the flying sphere. CoinUkev's men won tho second game by one run,but the very tart playingof Tom Brown and a few others had a good deal to do wit!) Boston's defeat. It looked as if it would rain, and the attendance dropped to 1,800, but this was a big send-off compared with tbe crowd at the South End grounds, -where the Boston and Cincinnati League teams were try ing ft keep their blood warm before 354 specta tors. Tbis was the smallest crowd in ten years at the League grounds, and shows that in tbis great ball town a club must keep its ond up if it wants good palronaee. Sympathy is out of tbe question; good ball playing is .what tbe people pay for and want to sec. The Boston Leaguers are not creating a panic or setting tbe woods a-flre by their nriliiantachieveirents. Bobby Lowe is still unable to play, and his fino batting is sadly missed. Clarkson and Bennett, tbe great battery of last season, are out of con dition, and it is hard to tell how soon Bennett will be able to line tbem down to second. His arm is very lame, and he hasn't thrown a hard ball this season. Pop Smith was hitting in great shape during tbe fore part of the season, but at present he couldn't hit an empty flour uarrei it it came sailing over toe home plate. Of late Pop's bat holds a spiritual seance with tho atmosphere two or three times a day. Tbe Bostons and Clevclands (N. L.) played three games, and tbe Hnb team won two of the contests after bard struggling. Had Scbmelz's men any luck tbey would have won tbe games, bnt the men from the West failed to make sac rifice hits when they were needed. Tbe Bos tons won the first game in ten innings 1 to 0; but Cleveland had a golden opportunity to win in the ninth, when vounc Davis led off with a tbree-base hit. The next two men failed to sac rifice, and tbe third hand retired on a short in field bit. Anson and his men proved the best drawing cards of tbe season at tbe League grounds, and 6,500 people were present at three games. Tbis was not considered a big crowd at one game last season, but things have changed since tbe days of old when the League moguls were monarebs of all they surveyed. Tom Lottus dropped into town with the Cin cinnatis. and bis men found "no difficulty in trouncing our League team, who were sup posed to loot like pennant winners after doing up Brooklyn and New York. Tbe Triumvir's men are .now safely ensconcedin sixtb position. and they will stay there for some time to come if they don't take a brace in batting. Young Khines. of the Cincinnatis, pitched great ball here, and the favorable accounts of his work from other points show tbat the young fellow is made of tbe right material and cot a bit over rated. Harrington, who is receiver general for Rhines, showed tbat League company is cone too fast for him. These young men formed the battery of tbe Burlington team last season, and tbey work together and know each other's signs as well as a magician and his female attendant. They kept tbe Boston batters guessing all the time, and when the smoke of battle had cleared away, the beaneat era were accused of bavmg made four bits. The accusation was borne bravely by Herman Long and Tommy Tucker, two centlemen whose wild screeches on tbe coaching lines would chase a steam calliope out of breath for a summer engagement in a dime museum. Manager Hecker savs tbere will be no more conflicting dates; that the Brotherhood clubs will remain in the East when the League clubs are West. I think Hecker must be talking for comfort, and without any idea of injuring his lofty spirit, I might say, that bis club might be benefited by staying in the East until tbe threatening clouds roll by. It may give Hecker some comfort to know that a Boston phrenolo gist declares Jimmy Galvin's "bump of philp progenitlveness," large and well developed. ' Charles J. Folet. CA1PT C0HTB0L HER APPETITE. A Mother Who Beats Her Little Ones When Tbey Fall to Buy Her LIqaor. Assistant Agent Berryman, of the Hu mane Society, yesterday made an informa tion before Alderman AlcMasters against Mrs. Mary Ralph, of No. 4 Wick street, for neglecting her two children. Complaints have been made to the Humane Society be fore, alleging that Mrs. Ralph's habits were sufficient to warrant the removal of the little girls from her control, but on assur ance that better care would be taken of them. Agent Berryman allowed the mother to keep them. Her promises, however, 'have not been kept, and Agent Berryman de cided yesterday to prosecute Mrs. Ralph and take possession the two little girls. Their father lives on Marion street, near Magee street, bnt has lived apart from' his wile for some time on xccount oi ber intem perate habits, thongh providing for his family ever since the separation. The children were pretty little girls, aged 8 and 3 years. Agent Berryman states that they are compelled to go out and ouy liquor lor Airs, Italph, who is also described as a still handsome young woman. Sometimes when the children fail to get the drink she beats them, thongh when sober she is said to be a very affectionate mother. Yesterday afternoon, when Agent Berrv jnan went to the house, he was immediately recognized by Mrs. Balpb, who picked up the youngest girl in her arms, crying: "You want to take my babies away," and tried to escape with them. She was willing to make all sorts of promises, but a deaf ear was turned to all her appeals. A 8EBYICE OF BOKO To be Given To-Day br the Silver Lake Quartet, of New York.

DIYIHG IN TEN FATHOMS OF WATER Foes in the Giant Trldachna aid the Huge Kan-Eating Shark; HOW IHE BEAUTIES ABB OBTAINED rwRrrrzx FOB TUB DisrATcn.1 There is. perhaps, so more dangerous waterway upon earth than Torres strait, be tween Australia and New Guinea. The strait is narrow to receive the waters of a great ocean; it is shallow as well and crowded with hedges of jagged coral. Stndded with dangers though it be, Torres strait is yet crowded with a varied sort of vessels, in almost every month of the year, except when the monsoon rages. Either flock schooners and ketches from the Aus tralian ports, clnmsy galiots from the Dutch ports of Java as far as Batavia, slender prahns of the Malays from the islands of tbe archipelago, junks, with staring eyes, equipped by tbe Chinamen of the distant Philippines. Careless of the danger they cruise about the strait and come to anchor side by side, all led by the common thirst for gain, for down among the dangers of the reef lie pearls to reward the direr. They fish in company and load their ves sels with the great oysters, and then each parts to seek a lonely island spot where he may spread the oysters ont to die and yield their treasures. The Australian fleet makes use of a chain of sandy islands lying close to the shore of Carje York: the most con siderable of them bear the names of days of the week and the largest of themall is known as Thursdayjjlafld, on which may be fonnd the headquarters of the'trade. Away from the sea that lies in Bight of Thursday Island there is no law save the one of might, and the pirate makes the junks his prey with cone to hinder. Sometimes a Malay crew grown overconfident by its successes on the Manilla fleets attacks some vessel of the Butch or Englishmen. As the news spreads along the strait the vessels leave the fishery and hunt the rascal, down and failing to find the one who did the deed they fall upon some otber prahn and leave no man to be tried for piracy, since justice Jp rough and ready in the fishery. THE PEARL OTSTEB. Torres strait is shallowj it is filled with extensive submarine saca and coral rock, with a depth of water from three to ten fathoms. It is on these flats that tbe pearl oyster grows thickest, and here tbe diver seeks his harvest. The oyster which bears the pearl in its mantle or stuck to its shell has little resemblance to the oyster of food. It is oiten a foot in length and naif as much iu width; the shell is smoother and ar thinner, and usually of a dark red color. They lie upon the sand, and partly hidden beneath it, in close array, and the shells usually open against the prevailing current. Luckier than the beds of the edible oyster, these pearl oysters seem little troubled bv destructive enemies; the stjrfish does not touch them and nothing attacks them except a small marine worm, which bores through their shells, and even this is not a disad vantage, for the most experienced divers say tbat worm-eaten shells generally yield the largest and finest pearls. The usual equipment of a vessel engaged in the fishery comprises ten divers, who serve as sailors as well, a cook and two officers. Six boats are carried, light dicgheys which a single man can easily manage. As soon as there is light enough in the morning to see the course the vessel leaves its "rotting ground" and makes its way to the patch on which it is intended to fish. The anchor is dropped and the divers in pairs take boats androw a little distance from the vessel, usually a cable's length in each direction, and the custom of the fishery prescribes that no diver shall fish between tbe diver ot another vessel and his ship." One dives, the other hauls up tbe pearls and the diving stone. When tbe diver is ex hausted he takes the place in the boat and his companion takes his turn in the water. Thus they work ail day long .without inter mission, for the diver may not venture to eat until his day's work is done for fear of cramps in the water; a day's work is oiten 12 hours, divided between the water and the broiling sun, HOT?- THEY DITE. The diver makes'use of a stone weighing 40 pounds, to which is attached a light cord, fastened to the gunwale of bis boat and hav ing a loop for the teet at the lower end; a cord is fastened to this loop to hold the basket into which he gathers the oysters. The diving stone is cast over the side and hangs just deep enough forthe diver to slip his leet through the loop; he holds his basket on his arm, and carries a long knife in the belt, which is the only thing he wears. When all is in readiness his companion in the boat casts off the cord: the diver goes straight to the bottom in 10, 12 or 15 fathoms and rfpens his eyes in a dim green light, which gives a yellow hue to every object on the bottom. It is a peculiar experience to the novice making his first trip tothe bottom; when the cord is suddenly cast off he feels a quick tug at his ankles, as thongh lank hngers coming out of the sea had seized him; there is an instant oi quick falling, which sets his head awhirl, then he seems to float in the cool sea, he does not fall, the currents of water now gently up to meet him, he touches bottom with a jar and gently sinks to" his full length upon the sand. There is then no thought oi being at the bottom of tbe sea; with open eyes one seems to dream in strange green stillness stranger than auy light has ever been on earth, yet so com forting tbat tbere is no sense of strangeness. It seems that hours go by with no thought oi motion; tbe body slowly bends erect, while one wonders what power moves it, as some thing apart from himself. Again comes that feeling as of something clutching at the ankles, the grasp grows stronger until it seems almost to cut the flesh. Tbe man in stinctively kicks ont his feet to struggle free; the bottom falls, the man seems to stand suspended in mid space, while all things seem to whirl past nim from void above to green abyss below. He hears a splash, a humming rings in his ears, the soft green gloom has been driven out by a blinding glare; bewildered he floats upon the sea and learns that he has been below oue minute and has seen no pearls nor thought to look for any. Those who visit the fleet at work are seldom content to leave without one trip to the bottom tbey never bring up a single oyster. ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA. The diver, by his constant practice, soon loses these sensations aud acquires famili arity with the under sea. As .soon as he finds himself upon the bottom be opens his eyes ana nis mil length. With practiced hand he sweeps tbe oysters into his basket and seldom fails to fill it in his time below. When his basket is filled, or when he must come to the surface, he stands erect, gives a pull npon the cord as a signal to his mate; springing from the sand, he rises with out stretched arms above his head and climbs uoou the bow of bis boat to rest and watch his companion haul the stone and basket to the surface, and perhaps he speaks some boastiul words of the number of oysters which he gathered on that trip. When the basket has been emptied into tho boat he waits no longer, bnt goes again to tbe bot tom. Thus he makes from 10" to 15 dives in an hour and then ,hi mate takes his place, and for the next hour he takes his rest by the lighter labor of hauling up the atone. The novice.ctn remain below no longer, than a minute, and if he goes below ten fathoms will most likely come up bleedinp at the nose and ears; the skilled diver never comes up in less than 00 seconds, and often stays below to round ont the second minute, none of them feel any inconvenience at 15 fathoms of depth, and some go even deeper. For many years there has been in the fishery at Torris strait a diver of Malayan stock from Timor in the sea irho dives alone from a slight canoe; he never takes a companion with him, and always dives in 25 and even 30 fathoms to beds which no others can reach, and from these untouched fields he brings the finest pearls. The "basket" of the diver is a shallow net hung on a metal hoop and weighted by leaden bullets strung upon the mesh. Twenty shells are counted a "basketful," and if an experienced diver cannot gather that many in one trip below he seeks a richer spot; on good gronnd the expert will bring up three and four "basket fuls" in the net at once. DANGERS OP THE WOKK. It is not a trade for men of weak hearts, for the stopped breath and the pressure of 90ieetof sea water with its weight oi62 pounds the cnbic foot will bring on palpitation of the heart and burst the weaker vessels, causing distressing and often dangerous hemorrhages. Bnt the divers are all stal wart savages, in snch rugged health'that the Dhvsiolocieal danger never occurs to tbem. Two dangers constantly menace the diver and be mast always Keep tnem in mina, one in the water, one at the bottom. "Where grows the oyster there also thrives the giant trldachna, a monstrous bivalve whose shell is from 4 to 6 feet in length, firmly anchored to the bottom. It lies with its scalloped shells yawning a foot or more apart Let anything soft touch the soft folds of its month and the shells quickly snap together, and not a dozen men ont ot water could get them apart, far less the single diver, fathoms deep, who may have dropped into them or have inadvertently swept his hand within its shells when groping in the gloom. If such a fate befall him there is only one thing for him to do to amputate himself from the enormous mollusk and rise to the surface, fainting, bloody and mutilated. This bottom danger is a constant terror to the diver, the impassivity of the great clam is superior to all his courage, he cannot fight against a rock that yawns and closes with snch force as to crnsh his bones to splinters. BATTLES WITH SHABES. His other foe might seem to the men of the land a greater menace, bnt the diver iears it cot at all. This is the man-eater shark which here grows greater than in any other sea and is oiten found with a length oi 40 feet. The straits fairly swarm with these great monsters, yet the diver is in no danger as the stone qnickly drags him down, for his movement ia so rapid that before the shark can awaken to the knowledge that there is food in reach, the man has sunk far below. He is in no danger when at work, gathering the oysters, for these sharks are not ground feeders and even if they follow the man to the bottom will simply nose him as something strange. The danger comes when the diver rises to the surface, the shark hovering'overhead, sees the man rising from the green deplbs. Then-it becomes a combat between the man and beast. The diver seeks to gain the surface for a single gulp of air, and then attacks his enemy. As much in his own element in the water as the shark he dives and dodges, keeping always close to the hungry brnte waiting lor the chance to sheath his knife behind tbe pectoral fin; then he dives to avoid the death thrashing of the beast. Hundreds of sharks are killed every year by the pearl divers, and some times years elapse without a diver to tbe record of the sharks. When the sun is setting the boats return to their vessel, the last load of ovsters is hoisted aboard, and as tbe course is laid for the rotting ground the famished divers eat enough to make up ior their day's abstinence. Landing in a stench of horrible proportions the crew spread their day's take upon the sand 'close to that which 'they got the day before, and go to rest undisturbed by tbe feted odors of decomposition. In the morn ing they go forth for another day in the water. THE PBECIOTJ3 HEAPS. Meanwhile the others tend the precious heaps ashore, with arms always close at haad, and casting watchful glances out to sea, that they may not be taken unawares by prowling Malay pirates. The shells canght on any day remain alive for three days, subsisting on the water inclosed be tween their tightly-locked valves. After the third day the shells fipea and decay is rapid. Then comes the time ior washing, and then for the first time the resnlt of the catch appears. Shells and rotting flesh are heaped upon a coarse sieve and sluiced with abundant water, which leaves nothing in the pan but shells. These are carefully in spected, and those which contain baroque pearls cemented to the surface are saved. The remnant ot flesh is washed in sieves of even nner roesn, ana inns tbe pearls are graded as to size. Last of all, the remainder is lelt to soak in a sack of fine gauze, which holds the pearls and the finest grains of nacre. Then come thedealers,who grade the pearls by form, putting in the highest grade those which are truly spherical and those which have a perlect pear shape. After this comes a grading by water, which is the trans parency ol the surface, and by orient, which is the brilliancy of the matter within. William Chuechill. MUST HEVEB WHIP SO HAED. An Enersetlo Father Fined Heavily for Bimallr Dentine His Child. The people of the whole country for miles around Dinsmore station, on the Panhandle railroad, were in attendance yesterday morning nt the hearing of Peter Cunning bam, the brawny giant who was charged by General Agent O'Brien, of the Humane Society, with beating the person of his 10-year-old son Peter into a mass of cnts and bruises, with a buckled strap. The office of Justice, Tenan could only contain a few of the many who wanted to see the injured lad and hear his story, and of still many more who wanted to see what manner of man was tbis Humane Societv agent who would step in and arrest the big Scotch-Irishman, of whom thev all stood in fear. The only evidence offered by Agent O'Brien was that of the little boy, who re lated how his father had stripped him of his clothing, fastened securely a dog chain about his neck and then cut his bare body with tbe big, buckled strap. That told, the prose cutor asked to offer in evidence the lad's person, and in the presence of the throng, removed the little fellow's clothing, causing a sensation as his cut and lacerated body was caught sight ot by the spectators. Cunningham pleaded guilty, offering no defense. He admitted that the punishment was a nine severe, Dut insisted that that was the proper form of punishment. Justice Tenan fined him $30 and costs, and extracted a promise that he would never whip any of hii children in a severe manner again. An Old-Timer's Experience. "W.W.

Senator Carlisle's Health and Bis , Habits of Application. HIS EAHK IN THE UPPER HOUSE. Ex-Senator Garland Is Ifeir & Beelnss and Abjures Newspapers. MEMOEI OP BPOONBE AJfD IJfGALLS rCOERZSrONDENCS Or THI DISPATCH.! "Washington, May 31. Ex-Speaker Carlisle has jumped into tbe thick of the work ot the Senate, and it is something of a question as to whether his constitution will stand the strain of his new position. He has one of the hardest committees of the Upper House, and he is, ot course, am bitious to distinguish himself. I took a good look at him as he sat on his spine in one of the red leather seats of the chamber to-day. His desk was covered with letters and documents, and his tall, thin frame seemed more stooped than ever. As he raised, his face to vote upon a measure, I noted that it was pale and sallow, and his eyes seemed to have sunken deeper under his high, broad forehead. Senator Carlisle is fully six feet tall, but he does not weigh more than 150 ponnds. His complexion marks him as a man with a liver, and he walks about packed full of the malaria secretions which fill tbe air of the Ohio river bottoms, added to those which which float np from the miasmatic Potomac He has the student's stoop, and he has never been a disciple of physical culture. He pays no attention to his diet, and he plods away day and night at bis studies. He gets up an hour before the rising time of the average Senator, which is at 8 o'clock or later, and he works in his room until he goes to the Capitol. ONLY BESTS WHEN HE SLEEPS. He eats his lunch in less than ten min utes and he otten works while he is eating it. When he was Speaker he lunched in his private room, and it is said that he never took a lunch while the House was in session. He is not fond of society, and he goes about juit as little as he can. He is a man with no recreations whatever, and his great brain only rests when he sleeps. etui speaker Carlisle does not look much older now than he did when he came to "Washington 12 years ago. He was then 43 years old, the same tall, pale, thin, black haired, gray-eyed, smooth-shaven, dignified man. He lived for years in boarding houses and hotels, and it has only been a short time since he bonght a place and went- to housekeeping. He paid, I think, $24,000 for bis home. It is located within three squares of the "White House on K street, and is in the most fashionable part of the city. Mrs. Carlisle presides over it. She is a tall, well-formed blonde lady, possessed of fine social qualities, bright and well educated. She takes very good care of Speaker Carlisle, and it is due to her that he stands the strain of his work as well as he does. Senator Carlisle will be a stroncer man in his present position than he was in the House. He is more of a logician than an orator, and his speeches are more noted for their thought than lor their brilliancy of diction. Spreadeagleism has practically died out in tbe Senate. Tbe great speeches have become like those oi the English Par liament, TALES BET1TEEN THE SENAT0B3 uttered in a conversational tone, and it is ideas rather than words tbat tell. Carlisle will be at the head of the Southern men of the faenate. He will rank with Butler, Vest and Morgan.and will be the peer of any man on his side of the chamber. He is in character more like Joe Brown, of Georgia, than any of these men, and he will cot have, to wait like the average new Senator for two vears to make himself felt. The change from Beck to Carlisle has been no loss to the strength of the Senate. The same can hardly be said of some of the other changes which have taken place within the past few years. Neither of the Senators from Ar kansas have tbe same prominence tbat was ceia Dy ex-Attorney Ueneral Garland, and Senator Gray does not figure as a national character as did Thomas F. Bayard. "Wal thall is undoubtedly an able man, but he has not as yet reached the proportions of Lucius Qaintus. Cincicnatas Lamar and the millionaire Farwell, though he is a good man in committee, has no such place in the public eye as was held bv John A. Logan. In the whole United States Senate there are not more than a dozen men who have national prominence and whose minds af fect public legislation. The average visitor to the Capitol bas to ask when told tbe names or the 60 other odd Senators as to whether tbey belong to the Senate or the House, and their personality is unknown. GARLAND A KINS OF RECLUSE. Speaking ot Garland I saw him walking down F street yesterday with a black slouch hat pulled down over his smooth shaven nut-cracker features. He has a law office near tbe Ebbitt House, and is, I am told. .getting into a good practice. He once told me tnat ne liked tbe law better than the Senate, and he has bought a house here on Bhode Island avenue, and has evidently settled to stay. He still owns, however, bis estate near Little Bock, Ark., where he has some hundreds of acres of forest, and in the midst ot this a log cabin which be calls. Hominy Hill. There are no roads which lead to this cabin and it is in it that Garland spends his summer vacations. "When he enters it he gives orders that no mail or telegrams are to be brought to him, and he has all the pleasure of solitude. He has cut himself as far as possible off from the world here at "Washington. He does not go into society and does not take and will not read a newspaper. He got so sick of seeing the daily journals at the time of tbe Pan-Electric scandal, that he swore they were all bad and he would have none of them, and more than this, be sticks to his vow. Whether he will get into politics again it is hard to say. He still holds his residence in his State by this Hominy Hill property and, it is not an impossibility that he mav again come to the Senate. Oue of Garland's law partners is" General James W. Denver, a tall, fine looking man ot over 70, who has made as much history as any man in Washington. He was in Congress from California belore the war.and though he bas always been an opponent of the code he killed a man in A DUEL IN CALIFOBNIA. He was Secretary of State of California at the time, and, as such, was attacked by a man named Gilbert, who was editor of the Alta California. General Denver replied to this attack and Gilbert challenged him. Denver accepted the challenge though he knew that Gilbert was a deadly shot. The weapons were rifles, and Denver received Gilbert's fire and shot off his gun into the air. Strange to say Gilbert failed to hit bim, and when General Denver started for ward to shake hands Gilbert refused and stated that he was bound to kill Denver or be killed himself. At tbis Denver decided todeeud him&elf, and at the next shot Gilbert fell pierced through the heart. I met Geqeral Denver last night and asted him to tell me the story of the naming of Denver city after him. He replied that it was when he was Governor of Kansas in 18o8. A number of Governors had tried to control the people and had lailed, when Buchanan appointed Denver, and he brought order ont of chaos. A party of men were authorized by him to select a county seat. These men chose -the site of Denver, and named it after bim. In the papers organising the town they donated him one of the original shares of It, and bad Denver been able to have gotten this, it would have been worth a fortune. The rascally Judge, however, who handled the papers erased General Denver's name and put in his own, and the result was that the General got nothing but the honor. He if, n.owTr, rich, and among his possessions is a 3,000-acre farm in the 'finest part of Southern Ohio, where he has a pleasant home and a big library. JUSTICE LAMAR'S KINDNESS. The effects of the grip are still felt in "Washington. Governor Andrew G. Cartin had three different attacks of it, and was kept for a good part of the winter in the Arlington Hotel by it. Justice Lamar grappled with the fiend early in the season, and he looks 20 years older from the effects of his straggle. I saw him this afternoon riding from the Supreme Court to his home on Massachusetts avenue in a red .herdie. His shonlders are stooped, and he has lost 30 pounds daring tbe winter. At the trans fer station opposite the White Honse a crowd of Treasury clerks pushed their way in and took the remainder of the available standing room. Justice Lamar was sitting at the extreme end of the car, near the door, when a little, white-haired old lady ap peared behind this crowd of clerks and begged the gentlemen to move up a little, so that she could get a place to stand. The car was so lull that it was perhaps 30 seconds before any of them moved, and, iu the meanwhile, Justice Lamar, old and en feebled as he is by the grip, arose from his seat and asked the lady to come in and take his place, saying that he intended to get out very soon at any rate. The old lady did not know who was offering her the kindness, and she accepted the seat. The Justice of the Supreme Codrt stepped out and waited on the sidewalk lor the next berdic, which he took as it came along five minutes later and rode to his home on Massachusetts avenue. This action of Justice Lamar is, however, a type of the politeness of the statesmen from the South who are here at "Washington. A. MATTEE OP MEMORY. Senator Ingalls is still receiving letters regarding the eulogy which the Kansas City correspondent savs he nlasiarlzedfrom Mas. silon. The Senators generally accept In galls' explanation that he wrote the matter down in a commonplace book years ago, and that his memory dropped it down into his moqth when he was on the floor. Ingalls never forgets a thing when he once writes it, and he has one of the best memories of the Senate, Senator Spooner has trained his memory so that he now never makes a note for a speech, and he relies entirely npon it to keep track of his engagements. He tells me that he can start out to do 20 things and he will come back having forgotten none of vuem. jais nrst experience at memory cul tivation was when he was a young lawyer. une aay ne was overrun with work. His wife was sick and he was tired ont. An important case at this moment came up for trial and he was so fatigued that he concluded that he would not take notes. That night be tried to remember the testi mony, hut he found his head in a jumble. He leared to lose his case and went to bed much worried. It was the same way in the morning, and he was in despair when he arose to make his speech to the jury. The moment he began to speak, "however, his faculties asserted themselves. The tes timony came before his mind as plainly as the handwriting on tbe wall in the palace at Babylon and he won his case. He has never taken a cote since then, and he says he believes that anyone can train his memory as he pleases. BUTTEE'WOETH AND THE TAILOR. The tailors of "Washington are much ex cited over a letter which has been published in the newspapers stating tbat they expected to make 100 per cent off every suit made for a public man, and that they are forced to do this in order to cover bad debts. The"only mercnant tailoring nrm iu town which charges cash is one which is noted for its three-dollar pants, and the overcharging of the others has become the subject of con versation among the statesmen. Some of them were talking about it last night, when Ben Butterworth told an inci dent of his school days. "It happened," said he, "when I was studying law. One of my friends urged me to get a new suit of clothes. I told him I could not. as I had no money. " 'Get'it on time,' said he; 'the tailor will trust you. " 'But," said I, 'suppose Ican't pay when the account falls dne?' " '"Well,' said my friend, 'if you wear your old clothesevery one will look down on yon, and thechances'are that the tailor will be among the crowd. If you buy a new suit you will stand all the better with the rest of the world, and you have only the chance of losing the good opinion of your tailor.' "The result was I bought the suit, and cirenmstances were such that I was ready to pay for it" Feank G. Caepenteb. HAS MADE HIS hECORD. Thlrty-FIva Tears ofContlnnons Service A Railroad Dlan Who Haa Much lo bo Prond of aiaater Slecfaanlc Parkin's Riot Record. George J. Parkin, of 294 Washington avenue, Allegheny, has made a record in the railroad service that any man should be proud of. He entered the employ of the Pittsburg, Fort Wavne and Chicago Bail way Company when, it was known as the Ohio and Pennsylvania Company, and has held the position until recently, serving in the capacity of master mechanic of the Eastern division. He has been in continu ous service since 1855 and has always been held in high esteem both by his fellow em ployes and superior officials as a man of strict integrity and a capable and efficient offieer. Mr. Parkin resigned his position a few days ago. Last night a large number of his old friends gathered at his home. During the evening Mr. Parkin was presented with a handsome gold watch and Mrs. Parkin was given a silver water service. The watch was presented by Stephen H. Morse, on behalf of the Eastern division engineers and the water service was the gift of the em ployes of the road. Mr. Parkin was taken by surprise, bnt was equal to the ocr-asion, and responded in behalf of himself and wife, acknowledging in grateful terms the tokens of regard from his old friends and co laborers. Mr. Parkin is well known in Allegheny. He served six years as a poor director. He did enective work for the Pennsylvania Company daring the riots of 1877 in pre venting the strikers from setting fire to tbe railroad shops. At the point ot a gun he held the strikers at bay, thus saving the company from heavy losses. He was a leader in ward politics abont that time, being a running mate with Captain John F. Dravo. His father was the first ticket agent in the Allegheny depot of the Ft. Wayne road. Mr. and Mrs. Parkin will l.-ave In a few days for tha West, where he may locate permanently. George J. JParkin.
