paull Chances of a Battle Between Dempsey and
Bnrle Sslntor's Feat.
"We are another week Dearer the end or
jth'e present baseball season than we were
last, Sunday, and I venture to say that
thousands of good honeit citizens will add:
KGroodneas speed the closing time.' The
season has been remarkable tor toe absence
fit that hitherto important question: "Who
rill win the pennant?" Indeed, this qnes-
Jf tion has been so seldem asked that one is
dat times led to think there is no pennant
race going on. However, the contests are
(going on, althongh the public cares little or
nothing how matters end. Pittsburg has
(two teams in these contests and neither team
likely to add much glory to Pittsburg,
ft the troth is that each day during the past
week has prompted the question: What
excuse is there lor the existence of the Pitts-Br-urg
N. L. Club?" There may be some
glope tor the other aggregation, bnt I con-
Efess that'I am unable to perceive any in the
Slot of players under the control of Director
P'lTeiL The Utter was quoted the other
(day aa saying that next season there would
Sbe only one clnb in Pittsburg. I don't
Sknow whether or not Mr. O'Neil means that
jihis team will be the surviving one. but I
nreallv ail to see how his team is going to
weather the storm that long. Creditors are
pressing the club with a tenacity that a wolf
will cling to its prey, and if all accounts are
true, creditors can get precious little satis
Erection from the magnates of the club. How
fever matters may turn out the fact of credi
tors suing the club for debu cannot do other
than act very injuriously indeed on the
club's t'uture. But I confess that I am un
able to form an opinion as to whether or not
we will have one club or twV clubs here next
season. Com.uon sense would prompt us to
think there would be only one, but it is hard
to divine what baseball people will do. I
venture one prediction, however, and that is
if there are two clubs here next year they
will fare worse than they have even done
this year. I would suggest that the parties
concerned make their minds up on the matter
as soon as possible.
Lola or Denials.
The magnates of the Players' League
lhavemet, and as a result of their delibera-
Itipns everyone oi tbem publicly denies tbat
Ithey are going to combine with the Anieri-
wean association. Curiously enough, bow-
ifever. tbey all state that efforts will be made
5?to arrange a series oi games at the close of
rloc cuuuipiuuBiiip be&feuu ueiweeu associu
Stion and Plav era' Xieague trams. If this is
idone tbe Association will be discarded by
Suthe National League, and it that won't
- ixnean a combination between tbe Associa-
1 tiouand Players' League I don't know what
will. But a National League magnate is
quoted as saying that he knows tor certain
.tlbat the American Association and tbe
Players' League will amalgamate, and that
EiVMhe amalgamation will be recognized by the
I National League. Ibis is wbat X suggested
Suast week, and at present I see no better way
out ol tbe present difficulty. 1 am still in--clined
to think that a huge plan of com-
jpromise is being batched, and X trust tbat
Ino enemy of the national game will try to
foil the eflorta being made.
Playing lor Cash.
IJ There is a feature growing up in baseball
that no intelligent and ardent lover of the
game can well appreciate. I refer to the
oow common custom of novice clubs, or, as
(some people call them, amateur clubs, play
ing tur stake money, in and about Pitts-
itburg we cannot hear of a game between anv
jsof our small aggregations, Irom the little
(potatoes to the county demons, without be
jjing made aware that the game is for money.
lEtakes vary in proportion to the wealth oi
Ithe members of the respective teams. Some
Pilsy or 50 cents and some lor $50, but the
briuer is uobelter than the latter, and the
-.principle is just tbe same and so is the inten-
Kstion. When the 50-cent players get richer
'i&they will become $50 performers, and proba-
653 bly win play tor a much larger stake. 1
E condemn tbe wnoie thing, and wbat I am
4abont to say regarding it I trust will cot be
taken in auynarsb spirit by those who Javor
fe this new gambling leatnre. I am inclined
sto believe that not a young player who has
and is indulging in ball games for stake
sioney has any other idea about it than the
lone which nromuta him to believe he is dn.
JL$fing what is best to popularize the game. A
s common notion among young baseball play-
nereis abroad. It is to the effect thai ii two
Ks clubs put up a stake to play lor the public Is
fled to believe tbat me game is "lor blood,"
land the game will therefore receive better
ipatronace. No greater mistake could be
siade. Un tbe contrary tbe best lriends of
itbe national game of the country will
have little or nothing to do with
tuch contests, and I contend that
every person who supported the gambling
system in baseball is doing his very best
toward demoralizing tbe games. A national
game should he as iree as possible from prin
ciples of gambling as contending for stake
'money. To play a match for so much monev
a side, as is being done at present, is a sure
Hethod of introducing very questionable
netbods into tbe game, xoung players
twill grow up with Terr decided notions
favorable toward betting monev on tbe re-
suit of any contest. I don't say that wbere-
leyer betting obtains tbat contests are qnes-
onable, but X du contend tbat betting when
(indulged in by those who have charge of
Ithe respective contests tends to lead tbe
"questionable methods. This surely means
ySthal a national game shonld be tree from
?these tendencies. Baseball in America, like
atfcricket in England, has become as popular
i!f it is because of tbe absence of gambling
$."psby thosewho have charge ot it, We all
teknow'bow letting degraded the game a few
rears ago when scarcely a player was be-
4yond reproach. The most pernicious tran
Tsactious in ball games took place daily and
.the game did not become worthy of national
HLpute until it was purged ot tbese ruinous
" features ot gambling. Those who love the
gime and who want to see it sustain its wide-
World Tnnlatinti RhnnlH email with pulnna
jS.ere all the prestige and popularity that
'HouoraDif dealing ana auii-gauioung tea
l! teres have won lor it. If the game, as a
national game, cannot live except bv con-
(faceting gambling leaturea with it, let it do
Sit by all means.
bundar'a Retirement.
A lew days ago a very definite statement
was published to the effect that W. A. Sun
ifday rus reolved to retire from the baseball
profession at the close of the season.
jf; Whether this statement is true or -not, I
. don't know. I have heard or redd nothing
-coming directly from Sunday on the matter.
'Colonel Sogers, of the Philadelphia N. L.
'club, states that ha does dot believe there ii
A'iD7 truth whatever In the statement. How-
erer it may be, I am inclined to believe that
jSandar' presrnee on tbe ball field will not
,,tbe of long duration. His mission in life
'seeoi's to be other than that of a professional
HH player, and, if ever words of praise and
fret were warranted, they are so in the
case of Sunday's leaving the ball field.
Words of praise to him are justifiable to
him for his honorable career, and, to the
baseball profession for having within its
ranks a gentleman ot such sterling worth.
Words of regret are sure to come from all of
us because the prolession is about to lose
such a bright and shining example ot
honesty, morality and intelligence. Tbe
worth of a nation does not altogether depend
on the deeds of warriors or money makers.
Tbe nobler principles of virtue as practiced
in the daily affairs of life are
one of the greatest sources ot the
snecess of nations and empires,
we can sav the same ot the national game of
the TJn'ted States. The success of the game
has not altogether been due to the "famous
star players" or to the deeds of wealthy
men. To the operation of those honest and
virtuous principles carried into daily prac
tice by sueh players as W. A. Sunday, is
due in a very great measure, much of the
success tbat the national game has achieved.
Tbat be has continued on his honest '-and
moral pathway amid the strongest tempta
tions and allurements of scores who have
been his colleagues, is certain, and that tact
only makes Sunday's baseball career more
worthy ot emulation. With Sunday's de
parture the baseball profession will lose a
jewel, and of a kind that it can ill afford to
lose at present. Surely ii ever a member oi
a profession deserved, on leaving it, to be
acknowledged for his good deeds, W. A.
Sunday deserves a testimonial from
the many admirers of baseball in
America. I know of no person in any
profession, or who has been a per
former or supporter of any public pastime
whose services have been more worthy of
acknowledgment than those of William A.
Sunday.
Interest In Baseball.
Atthebegining of this baseball season I
contended in these reviews that the conflict
between tbe Players' and National Leagues
would work great injury to the game. Be
cause of this opinion I was assailed by many
partisan writers; writers who were
steeped through and tbrongh in Flayers'
League sympathies. Of course, my
statement or opinion was generally de
nied, and I remember the amusing e:
lorts many people made in arranging
figures to prove that I was wrong. ' Well, I
mention this to draw attention to a state
ment made the other day by Manager
Evrin?. o the New York P. L. club. Mr.
Ewing in very plain and strong terms stated
that certainly the game has been inju ed,
and very much injured. He is .quoted as
going iuto details relative to the matter, and
the details show conclusively that the state
ment is correct. And irom his statement he
deduces tbe tact that something; must be
done to prevent an absolute downiall. Now,
this is nut my opinion; that is, it is not com
ing Irom me, but is tbe opinion oi Mr.
Ewing, a very prominent official of tbe
Players' League. Months ago I stated a
similar opimon, and now that Mr. Ewing
aud others of equal importance are certain
the game is being injured, certainly we can
put prejudice aside aud see what we can do
toward saving tbe reputation of our national
game. If we could only get rid oi our
prejudices on this matter all would soon be
right.
Tbe Local Regatta.
There is & hope of the revival of boat row
ing in Western Pennsylvania. An influ
ential committee has been organized to ar
range a local regatta tor amateur and pro
lessional scullers o Western Pennsylvania,
Eastern Ohio aud West Virginia. This
committee is composed of gentlemen who
have been long connected more or less with
aquatic sports. Tbey have also een known
all their lives as reputable citizens, and
some ol them have held aud are holding the
highest local offices at the disposal ot the
citizens. I mention tbis fact to point out
that tbe efforts to promote a regatta are
prompted only by a desire to see sculling
regain its ) restige in this city. True, the
proKsed regatta is not intended to be an
extraordinary affair, as I have just said its
great object is to revive an interest in scull
ing in and about Pittsburg, and surely this
is a laudable object. O' lourse reasonable
prizes iu kind for the amateurs, and in cash
or tbe professionals, will be needed, but in
a district so vast in wealth and population
as this, the question of prizes can
soon be settled. As I understand mat
ters, the great object is to convince the
public that tbe proposed boat racing
is to be honest. The past has been so pro
lific of the most fraudnlent and crooked
events in the sport in question in and about
Pittsburg that the local public are not ready
to believe that sculling can regain its old
time honesty. I am not pessimestic on this
point, as I firmly believe there is as strong a
desire among the scullers now to have things
on the "square" as there is on the part of
tbe public The present degraded condition
of boat racing is a lesson to Scullers that
tbey will not readily forget. But the pro
moters of tbe regatta believe tbat with a re
vival of interest in trailing and boat racing
generaHv good men will be developed. This
(is a very reasonable anticipation. I know
of no city or locality tbat has more promis
ing young men as far as sculling is con
cerned than Pittsburg and its environs. In
England at present admirers of aquatics are
spending much monev to try and develope a
first-Class rower, and I am certain that they
have no better material at command through
out tbe entire country thau we have in aud
about Pittsburg. I am sure that no reason
able man will contend tbat boat rowing is
not one of the best sports we know ot. For
my part I would sooner see a good
boat race than any other kind of contest, and
I have never met a man who has complained
of witnessing a thoroughly good boat race.
It is a sport tbat men, women and children
all like to see, and sorry I am that its
prestige has gone donnsofar. Well, it is
to regain this lost prestige tbat efforts are
being in ad e to hold'a regatta. A successful
reiratta; and I see no reason why the regatta
should not be successiul, may mean that by
next season we will hare quite a number or
bona fide amateur boat clubs, and' their ex
istence will mean that we may depend on
the honesty ol the sport I am requested to
state that ill gentleman desirous of assist
ing in the promotion of tbe regatta can at
tend tbe meeting to be held at the Nata
torium next Wednesday evening at , 8
o'clock. It is also to be hoped that the di
rectors ot tbe Exposition will in tbeir wis
dom resolve to assist in tbe undertaking. I
am inclined to think that a successful
regatta this jear will mean a national re
gatta next year, and certainly tbe Exposi
tion directors would need nothing better
than that to be identified with.
. '
The Pnclllsts.
During the week there has been much
raid about a battle between Jack Burke and
Jack Dempsey, bnt as far as I am able to
learn there is'little chance of tbese two per
sons coming together. The Ormonde Club,
London, England, has offered about 4,000
lor a contest between Burke and Dempsey.
and it is likely tbat an offer of tbat kind
will not be inducement enough for tbe
American to cross the Atlantic I would
indeed be surprised f Dempsey were to go
to England for any such offer and nnder
any such conditions. But wbat is more im
portant, I would deem Dempsey a very lool
ish man to go to England and fight Burke,
except at a stated weight John Burke is a
very wise person in his day aud generation.
He is, not looking for hard nuts to crack in
the way o fighting men of his own particu
lar weight The other day Dave Campbell
expressed tbe opinion that Burke could not
fight much below 170 pounds, and Campbell
has faced Burke ere now. 1 saw Burke not
long ago, aud he looked a very big man, aud
'apparently would need lots of work to get
much below 170 pounds. Well, suppose
Burke was to be five or six pounds below
tbe weight named, be would be much bigger
than Dempsey, providing tbe latter was in
his best condition. And tbis difference of
weight would tell strougdn a fight toa'finisb'.
Nobody knows tbis better than -Burke, and
beyond all Burke knows that he is going
out ol his class when he challenge' Demp
sey. Were tbere two men to fight at legiti
mate middle weight I would prfr Demp
tey's chances, because I hold hia to be one
of tbe cleverest buxera of modern times; or
were tbey going to box fonr or six round at
catch weight I think I would be induced to
think that Dempsey would win. Of course,
Qdon't underestimate Burke's abilities. He
has held his own with some good pugilists,
and in the heavy-weight class at tbat But
were he to come down to Dempsey'a weight,
I fail to see how he could b in good condi
tion. It is, however, surprising to me that
the Ormonde Club does not offer a purse for
Burke and Toff Wall. I know that the
latter is willing to "go" Burke for n purse,
probably a little less than 4,000. The
truth is a lew weeks ago Wall and Burke
met in London and agreed to fight for a
purse, should any club offer one big enough.
But the club directors may think that the
weigbts of the men are too uneven, and
I am of the opinion that tbat
is the reason a purse has not been
forthcoming. Burke is ever anxious for
money and I know that he can get several
men in England to fight him for a purse, so
that I don't see wby he should be bo anxious
to fight an American middle-weight I be
lieve that if the Ormonde Club would offer
a good purse or a contest between Dempsey
and Wall it would be the most interesting
contest of this generation. Each is cham
pion boxer of bis own particular class in his
own particular ronntry 'and it is singular
that they have never met If boxing is not
absolutely prohibited in England during
next winter & won't be surprised to hear of
a match between Demnsey and Wall.
Certainly if ever they meet I shall expect
to see Dempsey a winner. He is superior
in build to Wall, the latter being short and
thick-set He, therelore, would be atn dis
advantage when trying to hit a man of
Dempsey' reach.
Overton and Header.
A few nights ago there was one of the best
battles in London that has taken place in
tbat city for a long time. The contest took
place at the Ormonde Club, and was be
tween Harry Overton and Bill Header.
Since the battle I have read in a newspaper
words to the effect that Keader cannot be
mnch good because he has been beaten by
Overton. This remarkWas made, no doubt,
because (he writer does not know anything
about Overton. He is one of the promising
kind, and was trained for his encounter br
Jem Carney. Like Carney, he is a native
of Birmingham. He is not only a promis
ing pugilist, but is a very good man already
and it will require a very good man to de
feat him. Had boxing been booming
in this country now, I think that
Overton would have been here this winter.
A very good authority told me not long ago
that Overton was the superior of anybody
his weight in E igland. Oi course, he has
not proven this, but wbat my triend said
was merely an opinion. The standard of
boxing in England it present is not very
high, but, if I am rightly inlormed, Over
ton is an exception.
Blnvtn ana BI'AnllOe.
Advices tell us that everything Is pro
gressing in the Slavin-McAuliffe match, and
providing the law does now interrupt, it is
safe to say that there will be a good battle
between tbese giants for a few rounds at
least Of course I am aware that many peo
ple deem Slavinacur. Mitchell,particular!y,
has a very low estimate oi him. Ou the
other hand, Tom Symonds told me tbat it
McAuliffe could not fait very hard and take
considerable punishment the Australian
wonld win. Said Symonds: "Slavin is
always prepared to stand up and give aud
take. He is not a quick man, bnt he can
hit Very hard aud stand some heavy tnumps."
However. I am still induced to think that
McAbliffe will win, although he is too big
to be an ideal pngilist Bnt I don't look
npon Slavin as a world beater. Ii I did I
would certainly think he would deleat Mc
Auliffe. There is sure to be a large amount
o betting on the result, as the two leading
pugilistic parties In London have become
interested in the affair. One party is back
ing the Australian and the other is backing
theAmeiican. Tbe club offering the purse
has already made a big success by it as far
as gaining new members is concerned, but
the law may veto the proceedings.
Bnlvntor'a Performance.
This has indeed been a remarkable year
for record breaking on the turf, and for a
time nt least the climax has been reached
by Salvator's new record of 1:35J for a
mile. This is a performance that a week
ago the majority ot patrons thought impos
sible. No matter how we look at the'feat it
is more remarkable than that or Ten Broeck,
who went a circular mile in 1:39. Two or
three years ago isnt sn tun patrons thought
tbey had a wonder in St Simon, who, it is
stated, ran a mile in 1:39 on the turf. No
doubt St Simon was a wonderful horse, but
I question very much whether he could,
when at his best, and under similar condi
tions, equal the performance of Salvator.
It is a pity that the English owners aud
trainers do not employ the time test lor
their best horses. Il they did we could soon
form a clear idea as to tbe comparative
speed aud stamina of English and Amer
ican race horses. Peingle.
TffTffR'BS.'RT.T! EOT) OP A DEBAUCH.
Tonng Man ot Good Fnmlly Dies From an
Overdose of ChlornC
Maeios, Ind., August 30. The most
startling sensation tbat has afforded food for
the gossips here in a lone time was the
death late this afternoon, of Gibb Scott, a
young jeweler, at tbe house of Kittie
Brown. Scott, who was 30 years
of age, came here five months ago
from Greenville, Pa., and entered the em
ploy of H. S. Mark, the leading jeweler
oi this city. He was a young man ot good
address, had excellent recommendations,
and was admitted to the best social circles
ot the city. His most serious weakness
was he would go upon an occasional spree.
On the 11th- of this month he left on a
short vacation for his home at Greenville,
and last Monday evening he reached tbis
city, and tbe end p a long debauch, at the
same time. Not wishing to f tee hisetnploy
ers in this dilapidated condition, Scott was
driven to the place wbeie he died, aud so
well was the secret of his presence here kept
tbat not over half a dozen persons knew of
his presence until his death was announced.
The inmatrs of Miss Brown's place state
that since yesterday Scott had been taking
chloral to quiet his nerves. About 3:30 he
complained of illues, and said be believed
he would go to bed. He undressed, and bad
scarcely pulled the covers oy,er hnu when
he had a slight convulsion, and with one or
two gasps he died. The Coroner found
among his effects a check on the Marion
Bank for f 100, a gold watoh and several
huudred dollars' worth of diamonds and
other jewelry.
Scott belonged to an excellent family, and
.among his latere of reccommendation was
found one written by the member of Con
gress from the district iu which he lived.
He was a Past Grand in the order of Odd
Fellows. One of the most deplorable feat
ures connected with the case is tbe fact that
be was soon to have married a young lady
at Greenville. Hi parents were notified
by wire ol his death, and his remain are
held subject to tbeir order.
A Great Discovery.
The fact that castor oil. as vile a medicine as
was ever. discovered, basso long held Its own
as a laxative, is because, until Hamburg Figs
were discovered, no medicine conld take its

ilrs. Beverly Skidder and Charley De
vere satjn the richly-furnished parlor of
the Skidder mansion, with the gas turned
down to low water mark. Charley, who
was a wealthy banker, had just implored
her to obtain a divorce from her husbaud
during the week, and marry him on "the
next Sunday afternoon. He, too, was a
married man, and his wife was urging him
to obtain a divorce in order that she might
marry a man named Smith.
"I love you dearly, Charley," replied
Mrs. Skidder, as she placidly picked a long
golden hair that matched her own from his
coat, "but I am afraid that it would annoy
my husband 'a trifle. Of course, we having
been married for over a year now, makes me
think I am not entirely indifferent to him.
As I said, it might annoy him a trifle for
me to obtain a divorce withont consulting
him."
"Nonsensel I don't see what right he
has to be annoyed. To be candid, Clara,
society people are already .talking about
yon for not being divorced at least six
months ago." '
"Yon are right," replied Mrs. Skidder,
firmly. "It shall be done. But, still, I
am sure he is fonder of me than any other
attractive female, although I am his wile."
4 A FLOOD OF LIGHT.
"Don't fool yoursel , my dear. I know of
a young lady to whom your husband is very
attentive."
"I did not know of tbis, bnt one thing I
am certain: Beverly will never marry any
one but a proud society lady as my suc
cessor. I know him too well, and can trust
him on that score." .
"II he has led you to believe tbat his next
wife was going to be a society lady he has
deceived you most' basely. The girl I refer
to works in a button factory opposite bis
office. Myl how he does carry on with that
girll I verily believe he'bas developed
every muscle in his right arm making sig
nais'to her. Scarcely an evening passes but
what he sees her home."
Tbis was a terrible shock to Mrs. Skidder.
who thought that no woman was good
enough for her husband. She swooned
away. When Beverly Skidder came home
tbat night his wife lost no time iu upbraid
ing him for his conduct
"How wonld you like it," she asked in
dignantly, "if I should choose a butcher
boy for my next husband. Just to think
tbat you, for whom I had formed so many
ambitious schemes, shonld be in love with
a factory girll Oh, shame on youl"
A CBACKED EEABT-
"What you say about my being in love
with a factory girl is true," said Beverly
with great dignity. "About two months
ago I saw and tell in love with tbe loveliest
girl my eyes ever rested upon. That she
was honorably working for faer daily bread
made her aeem more noble in my eyes. It
grieves me very much to think that a wile
ot mine should ever have that low-bred
pride which makes it derogatory to a person
to be obliged to earn her living. You seem
to think that I should bave told you ol my
love for Kite Delaide. I would have told
you, for l tell yon everything, dear wife,
but know you uow that Kite Delaide, the
beautiiul factory gin, has refused to be any
thing but a sister to me, and my heart is
broken."
Never before had Mrs. Skidder seen her
husband's handsome face so distorted with
anguish. She placed her arm lovingly
around his neck, her pride completely,
routed.
"I had no idea you loved her so deeply.
But now that it is off perhaps it is for the
best I have a list of society, ladies pre
pared for von, Beverly, and perhaps it
would be Best for you to see them before
doing anything rash and have a talk with
them." - s
CHABOED -WITH TEirLTNO.
Mrs. Skidder had intended to inform her
husband of her intention to obtain a divorce
aud marry Charley Devere, the "wealthy
bauker, but when she reflected that it was
her duty as a wife to console him in his
misery, caused by tbe crnei jilting he had
received Irom Kate Delaide, she refrained,
although she knew that she wonld be bit
terly reproached by Mr. Devere former ap
parent indifference. Sure enough, when
Mr. Devere put in an appearance the next
day, and learned, that Mrs. Skidder had not
yet notified her husband of her intention of
obtaining an immediate divorce, a dark
cloud gathered on his brow.
"Clara," he said, sternly, "you are trifling
with the heart of a man who loves you
better than he does any wife he has ever
had, and I have had quite a number, yon
know. Besides there are other reasons why
our two hearts should beat as one by next
Saturday at the latest My preesent wife
makes home unpleasant to me becanse of
my slowness in making ber and her affinity
happy. The family clergyman who per
forms whenever 1 marry again, is going on
bis bridal tour next week, and the lawyer
with whom I have a contract by the year to
obtain my divorces is going off on a vaca
tion, so yon see how inconvenient this delay
is."
A SOLUTION AT HAKD.
While Charles was speaking there came
a sharp ring at the front door.
"My bujbtndl" exclaimed Mrs. Skidder.
"All the better! Let us ask his advioe."
The door was opened. It was indeed Mr.
Skidder, but he was unconscious, and was
carried into the house by lour men. He
had been tryiug to dispel bis anguish by
showing off his horsemanship in the park,
and been thrown off. In the fall his head
had strnck the gtound, and most serious re
sults were to be feared.
"Well," aid Devere, coolly, as he gazed
on the uniortunate man, "this sorter simpli
fies matters."
"No," exclaimed Mrs. Skidder. throwing
herseli upon her uuconscions husband, and
covering his face with kisses, "he must not

"He must not die? I don't understand

Charley very mnch surprised.
"Because it would kilt me," said Mrs.
Skidder jn despairing accents.

"Then tell me wby yon want your bus

is tome mystery behind this whioh I eannot

completely.
"That's so; yon wouldn't look very well
in black. Pardon me for suspecting you
unjustly. Clara. I should have known bet
ter," and pressing a smack of contrition on
her pale white brow, Charley Devere left
the house with quivering chin and a lump
in his throat, murmuring: "How could I
be so unjust to the woman I love?"
That night was a sad one in tbe Skidder
mansion, lor in tbe darkened room Beverly
lies at times unconscious while at others he
is delirious, and raves about Kate Delaide,
speaking of her in tender accents and beg
ging her to become his wife. During his
ravings he did not embarrass his legal wife
by mentioning her name at all.
A CALL OS KATE.
Next morning the proprietor of the but
ton factory was astonished by a visit from a
fashionably dressed lady, with a sad look in
her eves, who requested a private interview
with Miss Kate Delaide. It was granted,
and a few minutes later Mrs. Skidder finds
herself alone in the private office oi the pro
prietor with the young lady whom she has
heard her husband mention so often and so
favorably. Taking Miss Kate's hand ten
derly in her own, Mrs. Skidder said:
"My husband has told me about his love
for you, aud yonr cruel refusal to supplant
me in his affections, aud to become his wife.
I want to know what possible ol ion you

"Oh, do not say that he is dyine What

"Have you not heard that his horse threw
him in the park?" ,
"No, I have heard nothing. Oh, do not
say that he will not recover."
"You alone can save him. I am sure yon
did not reuse him because you did not love
him. There is no trouble loving him if you
really try." - ""
DAYLIGHT AT LAST.
"It was not became I did not love your
husband, Mrs. Skidder, that I refused, but
because mv Impression was that he would
aiterward reproach bimjsli for not wedding
some fashionable lady instead of a poor
factory girl. That is the reason I said no.
To tell the truth I am more deeply in love
with him than with anv fellow, married or
single, to whom I have.ever been engaged."
Then will you noftake it back? For
Beverly's sake, lor my sakel for Charley's

lovely face. He began to.im prove as soon as
.he felt the clasp of her warm finger, and be

the requisite points about tbe divorce.
Mr. Devere told his lawyer to hurry up
things, and the decrees of divorce were ob
tained Saturday, and an hour later Charley

LZTTXS TO TB DISPATCH.
No part of the country abounds with so
many institutions lor the poor and a filleted
as the part of the New Jersey coast, near
Asbury Park. On First avenue in Asbury
Park is a large boarding-house, known as
the Sea Best Here poor working-girls
Irom the city are entertained nicely at tbe
bare cost of table board. None are per
mitted to remain over two weeks unless
there should be left ample room for tbe
many applicants. The average price per
week is about $3 B0. A number of promi
nent and wealthy ladies are the patronesses
of this institntion.
In Oceau Grove is' Elim Cottage where
poor ministers and young men, studying
for the ministry, are welcomed and well
cared for at H per week. All denomina
tions are welcomed. A similar insti
tution is at Bradley Beach where poor peo
ple who are worthy have been entertained
all summer free of cost They occupy a
large house directly on tbe beach. The cost
of this place is borne by James A. Bradley,
of Brooklyn, the founder tf Asbury Park.
At Avon-by-the-sea, or Key East, a Home
for Incurables has for several years been
supported by Philadelphia Indies. Here
the crippled children irom the Quaker City
are given a summer outing and medical at
tendance. In addition to all this, a Memorial Hos
pital has just been established at Long
Branch; and a branch of the New York
house of the Good Shepherd, at Asbury
Park. All these institutions receive liberal
support from the summer visitors.

the disturbance, and of these 14 were ar

Superintendent Evans, who was badly mal

HAD IT DOWN FINE.
The sun had just broken over the tops of
the Ozarks one warm morning in summer.
The mist that always settles thickly over
these half mountains with tbe night all, was
going to pieces and disappearing as the sun
rose higher, leaving the green and dense
verdure heavy and wet with the dew. Id a
cosy nook, on a log, overhanging the wild
little stream that dashed down from a gush
ing spring above, a native was seated,
earnestly playing a jewsharp.- He twanged
the vibrant metal with his thumb, keeping
time by splashing one of his bare feet in the
clear water below. After ten minutes, dur-
ing'which time the,sun bad got high enough J
to shine straight in his eyes, he took tbe
harp from his month and, wiping it on the
leg of his trousers, exclaimed: "Thar I Ef
thel don' settl' 'er, whut will ?"
Before he had spoken another word a
stranger stepped from behind a big tree and
addressed him: "That was the best tune I
ever heard on one of those Instruments."
The mountaineer looked at the stranger a
moment and then, drawing himself up in a
knot on the log, said: "Dye mean it, mis
ter?" "Mean it? Of course. "Why do you
ask?"
"It's lak this, mister. Yer see. I hev
be-njest on the aige o' jinin' tb Simpson
gal, over 'n th' holler, fer more'n er yar, an'
when th' poppin' time kern, she up an' says
thet I kain't hev 'er 'less I kinplav thcr
.jews'a'p. I bin practicin' hyar on this log
ler nigh a month now, I reckon, ev'ry day
in th' mornin' 'tore sunup, an' I wuz think
in' ez I sot hyar, ez el I didn't git th' bang
o' it purty so'on, it'd be gooilby, Sal. But
yer made me feel better, stranger, an' ef yer
roun' these parts nex' week, jes drop over
on ther slope, 'crost tb' way, an' ye kin be
my best man."
As the stranger moved on down the path,
the mountaineer struck up his tune again
and played with a vim that was evidence
tbat the stranger had been telling the truth.
Along with the fiddle, tbe jewsharp still
ranks high as a musical instrument (in the
mountain region of Arkansas and Missouri.
A native who can't play the jewsharp is
looked upon as having very poor prospects.
WILD BILL PETRIFIED.
There is a story going round Seadwood
that Wild Bill's body is petrified. When
the bullet from McCaul's six-shooter pierced
the desperado, his body was buried in the
old cemetery, at Deadwood. Several years
later a dapper-looking fellow came to town.
He was a mystery to the camp. He had
plenty of money, spent it lavishly upon
himself and seemed bent on some lr.ingeJ
mission. Undertaker Smith had charge oW
the removal of the bodies irom the old
cemetery to the new burying ground on the
hill. One day the mysterious stranger in
camp apornached the undertaker, who was
a good old fellow from the East
"I hear.'.' he said, "that Wild Bill's body
is petrified.'"
"Petrified I" exclaimed the honest old
undertaker, "I took it up the other day and
there was no petrification abont it then, it
was simply heavy. It was dried."
"I know better," said the strangei "I
bave it from tbe best authority tbat Wild
Bill's body is petrified. I am willing to
whack up a certified check ior $15,000 if yon.
will help me snake Bill's body out "of the
bill."
Undertaker Smith would not listen to the
proposition.
"Ii yon want to get Bill's body out of the
grave, he replied with considerable em
phasis, "you must get away Irom me as
soon as yon can. I won't have anything to
do with it"
The mysterlons stranger loitered about
town; a day or two longer, and then mys
teriously diappeared. Six months later two
more mysterious men appeared in the camp.
They loitered about tbe streets and tbe new
cemetery as the other stranger had done,
and they, too, mysteriously disappeared.
The story of the petrification of Wild
Bill's body spread as mysteriously as was
the coming of the resurrectionists. Bugged
men who knew and loved Wild Bill went
up to the new cemetery and looked at tbe
new mound of chipped quartz and black
stone. It had not been disturbed, even the
strange red flower which is as crimson as
the career of the man who sleeps beneath
the bullet-riddled headboard, was still
there.
Wild Bill's body may be petrified. His
friends would like to believe it is, for it
would piove that the handiest man with a
cix-shooter that ever lived was too good to
spoil.
KIND-HEARTED GULLS.
"One bitter cold day," said the old trav
eler, "we a shipload, of ns were lying at
the whan at Astoria. The river was frozen,
we were waiting for the ice to break. As
toria, on its innumerable piers, with its dull
storehouses, and its scattered houses strag
gling up the hills among the burnt pines
does not offer many attractions to the tour
ist at any time. When it is buried in snow
it is desolate. The long days were un
broken by any event. The ice seemed to be
getting firmer. We were perishing with
ennni. That is how we got to watching the
crows. These poor things were dying with
starvation, and they could not resist the
temptation to hover about tbe ship. They
could not get the lood out of the water, but
stood on the blocks of ice, and looked en
viously down into the waves at the drllting
nits of refnse. The poor black wretches
could not stand still on the ice, or tbeir feet
would bave been frozen fast, so they shifted
from one leg to another in a manner which
gave them the appearance of dancing.
All about, with screams and flipping of
wings flew a flock ot gulls, snatching the
food from the water, and fighting in fierce
good fellowship. Soon we noticed a sort of
understanding between tbe black birds aid
the white ones. For awhile the sable birds
pranced and danced while the gulls busied
themselves picking np bits ol food and de
positing them within reach of their starving
neighbors. And we ail looked and won
dered to see the dumb creatures helping1
each other in their sore distress, and pon
dered on tbe language of those creatures we
arrogantly call dumo.
FIRED OFF THE FREE LIST.
"These are hard times, Jerry," observed
the dejected policeman as he leaned np
against the fruit stand and his fingers
mechanically closed in on the finest speci
men in the orange pile.

truit man. "It's all we kin do to make a

over to the inspector of rifle practice
at tbe same time. Tbey will be sent to Harris

Captain James M. Laird, of Company I,
Tenth Regiment, at Greensburg, bas issued a
circular to tbe company commanders through
out tbe State in which be asks for tbe return
of seven Springfield rifles wbicb were lost or
stolen from bis command during last cmp.
Captain Laird is an old member of the Guard
In tbe State, aud It Is strange that he should
plactrauy hope for the return of bis guns in
such a circular as he bas issued. The tendency
oi. most companies to naug on to otner people s
property precludes the luea of Captain Laird
ever seeing bis rifles again.
The High Bridge range, of tbe Elgbteentb

Adjutant General Hastings bas issued
an order authorizing tbe formation of a new
Company K In tbe Second Regiment to take
tbe place of tbe one mustered out during last
camp for insubordination. The action ot tbe
Adjutant General's office In filling up tbe Sec
ond Regiment so quickly is considered rather
strange by officers In this vicinity, when It Is
considered that both the Fonrteenth and
Eighteenth Regiments bave been asking fur
additional companies for several years past
and both organizations In matter of efficiency
have been ranking tbe Second. The excuse
given the Pittsburg regiments for not giving
tbeir demands attention bas been tbat the au
thorities at Uarrisburg favor reducing tbe size
of tbe guard In tbe State rather tban In any
manner adding to it. Probably 20 applications
from organized bodies desiring to form compa
nies in tbe Pittsburg regiments have been on
file In tbe Adjutant General's office for the
past three years.

a hawking and spitting up of a toueb mnens. I
bad tried almost everything I could think ot
myself and was suggested by friends, till I was
discouraged. Wben Dr. Byers examined my
nose and throat he said that all tbe trouble was
caused by catarrh, and tbat I might swallow
enough medicine to float a ship and would
never get better withont tbe aid of local treat

soon learned by experience that bis theory waa

My monthly drug bills amount to as much as
