Hew Bemiris Alxrat tha Litest Emm cf i Big Ocnjrcniis Among the Hsgnttes. Headers of these reviews will, I hope, pardon me this week if I give baseball a sec ondary place on the list of subjects to be dealt with. The national name has really been so devoid of interest during the week, and a comparatively small number of peo ple have patronized it, that it seems to me other subjects concern the public much more at present than that of our once glorious national game. One feature of the week's doings has been of great significance and thert are many important considerations at tached to it. I refer to the application of a nr.r-er of London citizens for an injunc tion to restrain the Pelican Club from hav ing any more fights and "smoking" con cert in -. building. I intend to say a few words on the matter because it is of inter national importance and it reminds me that the methods of prize fighting to-day are much worse than the methods of years ago. I hold they are worse in every respect, and I have held the opinion for some time that it the law will not permit of two men testing their fistic skill in a remote spot "far Jrom the madding crowd" in the open air it is inconsistent to allow a battle in somewhat of a public building in the heart of a citr. Let us take the old method and after looking at it compare it with the Pelican Club or any other club's method of to-day, and I think we'll agree that tne so called pugilism ol to-day is more brutal and inhuman and more demoralizing than when contestants adjourned to some out-of-the-way and quiet spot and settled their ar gument on the greensward. Mark, I am not coins to offer any argument either for or against prize fighting. All that I intend to do is to try and show that its surroundings and influences are worse to-day than they were 20. 30 or 40 vears ago. when the "unco gude" were not so anxious to make morality by law. The OM Time Method. "When the grandfathers of to-day were young men, and even later, men who were pngiltsits and who bad ambition to become pugilists had supporters among the very wealthiest classes. But despite this fact the stake money to be fought for was extremely small compared with the extraordinary "purses" of to-day offered by parties who most live on the business. Hen like Jem AVard, Savers, Ben Caunt, the Belchers and others fought many a severe and heroic battle for ?o0 a side, and the spectators of these contests included some of the wealthiest and highest noblemen in the world. The custom was to adjourn from to a place remote from city, town or hamlet and fight only with those weapons that nature had provided. Those who did not believe in such contests would never be near it and need never see anybody or any thing connected with it. There was no plan or scheme such as "gate money," whereby so-called managers and other indolent indi viduals filched thousands of dollars from the public. All the money, excluding the small stakes, that the principals and their friends could expect to get was the money obtained bv selling the colors of the con testants. Well, under these circumstances and conditions many a famous battle was Jought and victory won. After the contests the spectators would return to their respect ive homes, and society or the world was not one whit the worse for it. In these days there was more honesty and honor and in telligence among pugilists and their sup porters than there has ever been since. The Now .Method. But a new method, the club method has been introduced. Rightly or wrongly the law has vetoed the old time way. The in crease of ruffianism and blackguardism at these open air concerts, no doubt, have , much to do with the severity of the law on the matter, and with the withdrawal of the patronage of the wealthy and educated classes irom the contests. "Whatever may have been the direct cause we have a new method, and I am not sorry to see the law and public opinion knocking it out. Let us look at the' modern plan of conducting a battle. There are two kinds of clubs that promote these contests more brutal than the old time way of fighting with bare hands. One club is run for the special financial benefit of an individual such as the Ormonde and the Pelican clubs. These so-called sporting clubs each has a pro prietor. Crichton Temple is the Ormonde Club and Ernest "Wells is the Pelican Club. These gentlemen are the money makers, and when matters are brought down to a fine point I think we'll find that these alleged clubs are hardly clnbs at all, but simply places run by single individuals to sell liquors without license and have money making prize fights with impunity. The other kind of clubs arc those whose treasuries are replenished by the fights and drinking that take place within their buildings. The latter are inn variably in the heart of the cities in whica we find them. A big purse is offered for battle and the club becomes famous. Two men are matched to fight with gloves and under rules that are infinitely more brutal than the rules of olden times. The fight takes place right in the center of the city. and night is made hideous with the mob that parades the streets and crowds the thor ough lares of the vicinity of the place of battle. Tricksters and schemers pocket lots of monev as a result of the affair, and in one night there is more prize fighting in fluences at work in that city than there would have been in 12 months under the old method. These clubs encourage the congregation of all the worst characters in the universe, and in the "United States this is particularly the fact. We only need take 2ew Orleans and San Francisco as illustrations of the fact They congregate, and like human vultures, live on the rest ofsociety. All these facts I think will show that morally prize fighting to-day is much worse than it was in the days I have referred to. The Brutal Features oflt. In the preceding paragraph X stated that the conditions of these club contests are much more brutal than the conditions of contests in former days. I will prove the statement. In former days all contests were under what is termed London prize ring rules. Under them a man has any ' amount of opportunities to drop down when he is exhausted and get a rest. Under the Queensberry rules, and what is called the revised Queensberry rules, however, a man must stand up and fight for three minutes. It he is knocked down by his opponent within that time he has to get up alone, and his opponent is invariablyin a good posi tion to knock him down again as soon as he regains his feet Fighting to a finish under these rules is nothing short of the grossest brutality. I have seen poor wretches knocked down and down until they lay t.ei.seless. They Jiavc Do time to regain their wind or there was no opportunity for (heir seoondi to handle them. The fact that glares are used seems to lead many people to imagine that the contest will be comparatively harmless. .No greater mistake could be made. Some very wise ppgilists have told me that fighting with two ounce gloves is considerably worse for the fighters than bare fists. I can well un derstand the truth of this statement. A con test hardly begins before the small amount hair in the gloves is pushed back from the knuckles and the leather of the glove soon becomes wet and bloody, and certainly a blow Irom a fist covered with material of that kind is much more brutal than a blow from a bare fist. But the latter day brutality has all been brought about by the interfer ence of those who hardly believe in or enjoy sport of any kind. It seems to me, how ever, that the clnb system will almost en tirely be vetoed, and if it is I expect to find some other method resorted to. If there is another method introduced I predict that it will be worse than the old method. Qnlte a Big: Claim. While I am discussing matters pugilistic, I am reminded of a very extraordinary claim that William Madden, manager of Joseph HcAuliffe, the pugilist, made the other day. The aforesaid Mr. Madden has told the world that McAuliffe and Slavin are to fight lor the championship of the world. Another extremely blatant gentleman, now in England seeking notoriety, has indorsed Manager Madden's declaration, and doubt less the pair of them have worked them selves into the belief that Manager Mad den's opinion is quite true. The manager ought not to stop at the world's champion ship, but ought to add "and of all the other planets." What earthly reason is there to say that McAuliffe has any claim to any championship? None whatever. He is. as we all know, a beaten man to start with. And Slavin: Where is his claim? I can find none. So far he has proven himself a very good second class man and may prove himself to be even better than that, but I don't think, nay, I'm certain, that not a man in the worla, who knows anything at all about affairs pugilist ic, will for a moment agree that Slavin has the least claim to any championship title at all. Where does Mr. Madden put John L. Sullivan? Certainly John amid all his variations has not forfeited that title he has won more than once. But once more financial reasons are , behind the ridiculous statement of Madden. His statement gives us to understand that as soon as the Slavin-McAuliffe affair is over, there will be a "tour" on the part of Mc Auliffe at least. Should he be the victor, the little champion of the world may be something attractive to gnll a portion of the public. However, the farcical phase of this business will be seen plainly enough. The trouth is, I don't expect to see McAuliffe ever champion pugilist of the world. Some Pertinent Remarks. The following interesting remarks,relating to the alleged difference of fighting a certain number of rounds and to a finish, are taken from the London Referee: At a so-called sporting club in the Walworth road, which suggests the famous lines "At a queer little club uhich was more like a pub" (unlicensed), the long-expected glove fight be tween Reader and Overton took place on Fri day night. Reader is one of the sol-disant champions at a given weight to an ounce who are now so numerous, and Overton, though spoken of as a novice from Birmingham, has a fairly good record. Ihls fight was to have been with small gloves, but owing to the set de livered at the "club" containing three left hand gloves and only one right-hand, the most convenient set that could be obtained was brought into requisition, and these happened to be of the large or ordinary and. compara tively speaking, pillow-case character. Never theless Reader managed nearly to knock Overton out with them. If the small gloves had been in use as per arti cles, it is more than probable that at this juncture Reader would have finished Overton off; and in this particular Reader was unlucky. Iben Overton, who was not to be disposed of off-hand, and who appears a rare sticker, pulled himself together and succeeded in actually knocking Reader out at the end of a short but somuu hat merry encounter. O ver tonnas admirably trained, and when he was m difficulties was nursed carefully, and brought round almost entirely by the skill and attention of his chief second, Baldoek. The fight, so the referee stated, was arranged to be of 30 rounds, bat If the referee (B. J. Angle) was not able to decide upon a winner at the end of that number he was empowered to order a continuance until the desired result was arrived at Previously to this it bad been stated, in print and by word of mouth, that Reader and Overtnn's bout was to be "to a finish." But as will be seen, this is a distinc tion without a difference. Whatever the referee may have said, and whatever be may have thought, what we got was actually a fight to a finish. Mr. Angle's statement is merely the modern way of evading the law that exist against bghts to a finish. As it hap pened, the tight and it was a very heavy and stubborn fight while it lasted-was settled at the end of the thirteenth round; but it was as much a fight to a finish in all its arrangement as if that fact had been stipulated in the ar ticles. Probably it was; we are told it was, though it need not have been, seeing that the new plan makes the thing exactly the same, no matter how it is stated. Presently we shall find two men especially if they are contend ing for a purse continuing np to the thirtieth round, or whatever is the number mentioned, and then the referee will order them to go on till one gives in. It is perhaps unlikely that two men contending for a purse only will go on for so long: still they might, and as it would be easier than knocking one another ont they may do so one of these da s. And So we mention the probability or possibility as a means to the end of illustrating our argument If this Reader and Oveiton's was not a fight to the finish we should like to know what is one. and also what the police, who a little while ago were so ready and even anxious to put down harmless display boxing with threats of punishing the boxers, and. other threats of taking away the licenses of people who allowed the boxing, have to say to this in novation. There is another feature of the fight which is well worthy of mention. Reader and Overton fought for a stake as distinguished from a purse L e., for money put down by their backers under old-style conditions. This accounts for the desperate way in which the men set about one another. Had the fight been for one of the purses so liberally subscribed nowadays, Reader and Overton might have tapped one another, and looked at one another, and cuddled one another, till both were sick of the performance; and thn one of them, as previously arranged, by tossing or otherwise, would have given in, and thev would have re tired to cut up the subscription. The attend ance at the Ormonde "Club" was not of the odor of West End fasblon,bnt savored strongly of the slums and the betting ring, as anyone can see for himself who chooses to scrutinize the list of "real good sportsmen" who were present Baseball Affairs. A titled poet says: Onr little systems have their day; They have their day and cease to be. If nothing else the poet's sentiment re minds us that the present ball season will soon cease to be. I don't think that many people will be sorry for it Pittsbargers, particularly, have had a very fnnny time of It, and I have an idea that those of us who patronize base ball will treat the business with supreme contempt next season if a repetition of this season's humbug is given. Of course one of the remarkable perlormances of the year will be the record of our own K. L. club. Witnout doubt in future years any club that attempts to beat the record of our wanderers will have to be something far from the ordinary. The truth is that one can scarcely believe it pos sible for a team of ball players to suffer so many defeats in one season as the players of the local National League team. They are a wonderful lot, no doubt But let me say a few words regarding the management of J. Palmer O'Neil. I really think that he deserves unlimited credit for having any team at all at the end of the season. Mr. O'fieil took hold of the team when it was in the most deplorable condition, finan cially and otherwise, Amid innumerable and very potent difficulties he has piloted that financially embarrassed aggregation Irom place to place, only to meet defeat after deleat Despite this, he has not only kept his team, such as it is, on the field, but hat received money for their appearance, and, I am told, sufficient money to enable the clnb to quit even at least on the season. What I contend is this, that whatever may be said ol Mr. O'Neil'i management, very few men would have had the nerve and the determination to stick to the contest that Mr. O'lfeil has shown. Why, he started in when the exchequer was empty, and has only continued the existence of the club by a remarkable diplomacy'. He deserves credit, indeed; and we should always bestow credit where it if due. It is nonsense to talk of "running away from the fight" because he transferred dates. Mr. O'Neil, like any other wise general, was compelled to fight in accordance with the material at command. His forces were so much weaker than those of the enemy that he would have beeu foolish to force the fighting. He had legitimate opportunity to turn round and in a sense regain wind. This was the only plan by which he could remain in the contest, and he wisely adopted that plan. In do ing so he did exactly what common sense would prompt any of us to do if we had the moral courage to do it Why, the very fact that Mr. OVNeil and his team are still in the ring shows that he has played his part well. He can now talk about his chances for next year with as much force and freedom as the enemy. I certainly do think that Mr. O'Ueil has played a very plucky part, to say the least of it But there "is another consideration. If, as we have been told, Mr. O'Neil ran away from the fight by transferring dates, the enemy ought certainly to have been benefited thereby considerably. I have yet to learn that the enemy reaped any great financial success out of this running away business. We may again be tol'd that the "running away"showedthatthe club wasn't wanted here, "i argue that the attendance at the games show that neither club is wanted here, and if two clubs are continued in this city my sincerest wishes that not a paying spectator will witness a game. At any rate I am convinced that with a reason able supply of cash Mr. O'Neil will always be a dangerous opponent He hasn't had that supply this season, and if he gets it for next seison he will be a valuable manager. Certainly be may have his shortcomings like all of us, but he has established the fact that he has nerve and business facul ties. Claims of the Local Clubs. Unfortunately there is still a very large amount of party feeling on this wearisome question of baseball. I notice with regret that some people persist in shutting their eyes to any good point in favor of the na tional League, and accepting everything as first-class that pertains to the Players' League. In figuring on next year's pros pects there are many curious claims and statements, and these vary in accordance with the predilections and prejudices of the writers. One party emphatically claims that they are in the field to stay, and with equal emphasis the other party declares they won't retire. Certainly there is a hope among the Players' League par tisans that the local National League club will vanish from Pittsburg; indeed, a P. L. friend of mine said to me the other day that it ought to go. Now this is just the ques tion I want to discuss. I have looked the matter over from every standpoint I know of, and for the life of me I can find no more reason for ousting the National League from this city than for dispensing with the P. L. club. At first sight this may surprise some of my read ers, considering the miserable show that the local N. L. club has made. However, I ask the plain question, What right has the P. L. club to remain here in preference to the N. L. club? I don't know of a solid answer. The right of priority rests with the N. L. club. But some P. L. supporters may answer: Because it is a better team. A thoughtful person wouldn't give an answer like that, because if the P. L." club's claim to remain here is based on its work of the ex piring season it has no claim at all. Like the N. L. clnb, it has been a wretched failure, and the two clubs at pres ent behind it in the P. L. race are probably the worst aggregation that have been in the city. I boldly make the assertion that no club whose perform ance is no better than that of the P. L. or N. L. clubs of this city is worthy of remain ing here. The motley crowds that have re cently watched the game here show lhat public opinion is in this direction. It comes down to this, then: that as far as playing and disappointment are concerned both clubs are about on a level; indeed, even when the P. L. club has had the field to itself here only about 600 peo ple have turned out to see it. But only wait until next season is the current cry. And here again the P. L. club is not one'whit better than the N. L. clnb. Manager Hanlon may say: We will have a pennant winner next year, but Director ,0'Neil can say the same thing and just be as earnest in nis statement, xnis wait-untii-next-year claptrap has lost its force by repe tition; and I hare precious little faith in the cry now, having so .often been deceived by it Well, then, I repeat that I fail to see in any shape or form any reason why the P. L. club should remain in Pittsburg in preference to the N. L. club, as far as a matter of moral or business right is con cerned, What I say about this city equally applies to Cleveland, and if there are any reasons showing that I am in error in the matter I trust they will be advanced, so that we may fairly get to a true conclusion. About Compromise Nollone. The chief object of the above paragraph is to show that whatever deal may take place in the baseball world, the rights of the Pittsburg N. L. have as much claim on protection as those of the local P. L. club. Of conrse if by a mutual agreement one of the clubs leaves the city, or even if one of the clubs leaves us without any agreement at all, is quite another matter, and does not in any way affect my argument There may and there may not be a compromise. When in this city Secretary Brunell said that his side would be quite willing to meet the N. L. and have a mutual agreement made, but I am afraid that were such a meeting to be arranged the P. L. officials would by their wild partisans be goaded on to make ridic ulous demands. There is any amount of room for a compromise, and I feel confident that one could be made which would be beneficial to all parties concerned. Before any arrangement can be made, however, each party must enter into the affair pre- Sared to exercise a give-and-take spirit loubtless, there is a deal of humbug among baseball magnates. Some of them strut around like a turkey gobbler.and have such inflated notions of their importance that it is difficult to do any business with them. But the season just ended has, be yond a doubt, shown that baseball players and baseball magnates have made fools of themselves. Whatever compromise may be made the players will not be as well off as they have been in the past. They have certainly blighted their pros pects for a long time to come. The P. L. will not keep inferior players on its pay roll next year and I expect to see that organization run on principles similar to those of other organizations. The high plane of charityjon which the P. L. started out has been a failure just as I said it would. Players who were of .no use have hrd to be kept all the season and a system of this kind cannot be maintained. Base ball clubs are not charity organizations, be cause after all almost everybody connected with them is out to make money. PBINQrB.

HEBE is one object at which I always shy more or less when forced to pass . it alone, and which never fails to give me a sense of uneas iness and a disposi tion to look over my shoulder for half a mile or so afterward. This is the vacant and deserted house, and it is particularly pregnant with sinis- The White Face, ter suggestions of wandering lunatics, escaped convicts, lurking murderers and other fugitives from the law, just at dusk, with its vacant or boarded-up. windows, and its door gone, or, worse yet, hanging half ajar, for legions of evil things to skulk behind. Yesterday evening I came past such a little cabin, with one tiny window opening which had never had sash or shutter, and a doorway from which the door was gone. . I had passed it often before in broad daylight, and it had always seemed particularly blank and innocent; but now, as I rode reluctant ly up in the early twilight, the strained feeling of apprehension ana prospective terror one experiences as a narrator ap proaches the irightful part of a bogy tale was strong upon me. A -WHITE-PACED FTGUBE. And sure enough, there was a tall, dark figure, surmounted by a long, cadaverous, whiteface, standing within the doorway. I fairly choked with senseless fright when I saw it slightly nodding at me, and heard it muttering or grumbling to itself, but mak ing a desperate effort, I called out, "Good evening," in such a voice as I could com mand. No reply, but another nod or two and a heavy, snoring sigh. So I tried again, with "Howdv."and as this elicited no response I was just about to give my horse the whip and fly the spot at all risks, when Phebe A Terrified ilmnlaineert suddenly whinnied out loud. There was an answertag neigh from the tall, dark figure in the cabin, and a black horse with a blaze face trotted out toward usl' I thought of "Harry and the Guide-post," and other small tales with abnormally de veloped morals, and loudly laughed out right. GHOSTS OE APPLEJACK. As I came the last mile ,or two of my day's ride Iwas entertained by the best ghost story I have ever heard. I call it the best because, while a simon pure ghost story, and the narrator was himself witness of its horrors, he was so plainly truthful and sincere. The prodnct of unlimited ap plejack I grant you it might haye been, but He never luveiueu Ik uc wuuiuu uaio m- vented anything. I was riding along, still laughing over my late adventure, when I overtook him, a typical Carolina mountaineer, with an open, childlike face, hay-colored hair and inex pressive light eyes. He bad the familiar rifle over his shonlder, and a conple of hounds trotted at his heels. He responded to my salutation with native politeness, and none of the mountaineer reserve and taci turnity that you sometimes find among these people. We'discovered that we were going to the same settlement and fell into desultory conversation. Presently he asked: ."Aint ye 'feard f travel this kentry by yer lone se'f this away?" ASLEEP IN THE MOtTNTAINS. "Why, no," said I, "I have a good pistol and I'm not afraid anyway. What would harm me?" "Nothin' that pistols kin reach," said he. " 'Taint o' no varmints ner folks I'm afeard" then with a sudden dropping of the voice, "Ain't ye never seed no ghoses?" Then he pointed to a mound and told his story. "I'd ben ont huntin' late one evenin' an' wuz tar'd, an' 'stid a-goin' home, I jes' dumb up onter thishyer knob, and laid down on that tbar big rock; Pete and Bus ter was 'long 'o me," looking at the hounds.

'"Bout an hour by sun little Pete come a bustin' in an' says: 'Pappy, iemme take ther gun jest a minit; they's a rabbit a set tin' right over hyer in the nigh pastur, tat ez er hog.'

"I heerd a terrible roarin' ekal to a can non purty soon, an' threckly in come Pete a cryin' an' some several teeth knocked out " Did you git ther rabbit, son?' sez L "No," sez Pete; 'the blamed ol' gun kicked tell it knocked me flat o' my back ' We all had a big laugh at Pete'fer tryin t' kill a rabbit with a gun loaded fer kuklux, an' that was the last we thought o' the gnn. v WHISKY AND BULLETS. "We'd ben in bed some little time when I heerd the dogs bust out at somethin.' I walked out on the piazza an' couldn't see ner hear nothin', bat I hadn't no more'n got back to bed 'n the dogs charged out agin. I went out agin, an' I says 'Lor', here they come sure enough"' Fer I seed some un t'arin' up Torn the creek, an' 'lore you could think, a feller in a long1 yaller coat, nigh about fo his heels, some quare kind o' hat on 'is head, an' shiny saddle bags, jumped over the bars out here side o' the house lot, an' jumped his horse over aylter 'im. The dogs r'ared out on 'im agin, 'an he pulled out a pistol an' let in t' firin' at 'em. 01' Watch broke an' run roun' the house, an' t hid hisse'f, but Tige stood fire like asoldier, est inside the yard gate, with all his teeth a-showin. "I got back inside the door an' belt it jest so's I c'u'd see out 'Look a hereP What d' you want, says L " 'You come out an' I'll give you a dose too,' says be. Jest then he fired another shot at Tige, an' 'stid o' hittin' uv him, it went over into a passel o' geese 'at some o' the chiren d let in the yard in the evenin . It hit a ol' gaynder, an' what weth his flappin' aronn' sqnallin', Tige growlin' an' barkin', the feller a whoopin' an' shootin', an' all the chil'en a cryin' inside, we had the most terrible interruption here fer a spell ye ever heerd. "When he made that remark about givin' me a dose, too, he turned an' fired to's the door, an' I clapned my han' up fer my gun, 'lowin' to lei im nave tne null ur com bar'ls. "Nary gnn! So I grabbed fer the pistol. .'Twarent there; nothin' but the little hatchet! 'Well, they've got me this time,' says I, 'shore.' " 'Who air you?' I hollered. " 'John W.

But 'is pistol only snapped, an' I see 'twuz all shot out " 'Come on out, Hollis, he says, 'an' hoi' my mule for me. He's drunk an' won't let me git back on 'im jest keeps a turn in roun' like a blamed ol' pair o' windin' bladesl' " 'Put up yer shootin' irons,' says I, 'an' I'll come out an' he'p ye." "Shore 'nough 'twuz Pettigrew, 't lived up to'ds Tenn-essee on Koarin' creek. He'd ben down in Yancey to some convention er 'nother, an' wuz bilin' full o whisky.

The Electric light's Effect on Pilfer ing on Sugar Estates. HEADACHE FROM EYE TROUBLES. Plaster Houses Are likely to Become Cheap and Popular Soon. AH ARTIFICIAL 1T0EI AHD MUSK fTBtrARKD roa Tins Disri.TCH.3 The electric light is being introduced into the "boiling hduses" of Demerara and West Indian sugar estates. The value of this in novation can hardly be conceived by those unacquainted with the conditions which exist on cane-sugar plantations. On some properties it has at times been the practice to make an appreciable reduction from the estimated yield of sugar in consequence of the quantity of cane, canejuice and sugar stolen by the negroes during "crop time." The night is the time when "Master Quashie" gets in his fine work, and a right smart thief he is. The "overseer," who has charge of the sugar in the boiling and curing houses, has to be always on the alert, but still the negro ts too much for him. Many of the boiling houses are very badly lighted, and, after days ol work and nights of watching, the drowsiness of the fagged overseer is in creased by the dim light of the oil lamp, and while he slumbers the plunder is goingjon. With a well-lighted boiler house, however, the chances of theft are minimized. The overseer is morecbeerfuland less likely to be overcome by sleep, and everything that the "hands" do is distinctly seen. The negro is not likely to appreciate the sesthetic beauty of the electric light; he will rather gaze on it sadly, exclaiming: "Bnckra (white man) know too much," and think of the days7 or rather the nights, when in a few minutes he could purloin enough to pay his family expenses for a week. The introduc tion of the electric light will be the death blow of petty larceny of "produce" in sugar plantation boiling houses. Waste ofFood In America. In the use of food the Americans are lav ish, and even wasteful. In calling atten tion to this fact, J. K. Dodge states that Great Britain consumes an average meat ration not over two-thirds as large as the American, Prance scarcely half as large, and Germany, Austria and Italy still less. The average consumption of meat in the United States is probably not less than 175 pounds per annum. Of other civilized nations, only Great Britain exceeds 100, and many scarcely average SO pounds. The consumption of the cereals in this country, by man and beast, is three times as much in proportion to population as in Europe. For the past ten years the average has been 45 bushels for each unit of population, wnile the usual European consumption does not greatly vary irom 16 bushels per annum. While all this is not used as food for man, no small part of it contributes to the meat supply. In the consumption of fruits the difference between this and other countries is marked. Small fruits, orchard fruits of all kinds and tropsical fruits, as well as melons of many varieties are in profuse and universal daily use in cities and towns, and in the country the kinds locally cultivated are still cheaper and more abundant The consumption of vegetables is not excessive. Cement Mortar Under Water. The use under water of sacks of cement mortar is in certain cases of the greatest ser vice. It is probable that no other process will permit work under water which will secure so perfect a contact with old ma sonry. A notable example of this may be cited in the viaduct which is now being built across the Loire for the railroad from Bourges to Gien, France, which has the foundations of its piers in pits dug through a water bearing sand to the marly limestone which forms the subsoil of the valley. In some of these excavations the bottom 'is dis turbed by violent currents of water coming either from the water-bearing sand into the pit, or from cracks which are frequently met with in the limestone, and the waters of which spout out in the bottom of the ex cavation. This water could not be carried away by masonry channels or drains since the mortar would be at once washed out. The use of cement in sacks allows the en gineers to obtain a pavement or fonndation for the bottom of the pit almost solid, and fitting itself perfectly to all the irregulari ties of the bottom, thus allowing the con crete to be set with perfect security. " Steam Lifeboat. The tests of the steam lifeboat which has just been brought out in England have proved remarkably satisfactory, the maneuv ering powers of the boat being admirable. Going at fnll speed, she made with the rud der, a half circle in 35 seconds, and the full one in CO seconds. Going slowly, with rud der and turbine, the full circle was made in 40 seconds, and with turbine alone in 52 seconds. By working the levers on deck the boat was brought from full speed to a dead stop in 32 seconds,yind from dead stop to full speed in 4 seconds. These tests show how entirely the boat is under control of the offi cer on deck, no communication whatever. oeing necessary witn tne engine room, as the machinery always runs in one direction. The consumption of coal under forced draught is said to be little more than two hundred weight per hour, and the supply will last for 30 hours. The steam lifeboat is likely to come into general use on dangerous parts of the English coast Eye-Ftrnln and Headache. A New York pnysician, who has for sev eral years been studying the relation of eye strain to headache etc., in children, has published the results of his labors. He finds that cases of short sight, far sight, and irregular sight, often go unrecognized until the continued eye strain results in a chronio headache and lassitude, or even more serious nervous disorders. The most approved mod ern treatment in certain cases of headache is to order the use of spectacles. To Make Artlflcnl Ivory. A correspondent sends The Dispatch the following directions for making artificial ivory. Burn bones in an open grate. Trit nrate the burnt bones to an impalpable powder. Wet the powder with a hot solu tion of glue and work it into a plastic dough. Hold the dough into any desirable form and then let it dry. Soak the dried article for 24 hours in a saturated solution of alum. Fine Tree Soap. A patent has been taken out for a process for utilizing the resinous matter present in the needle-like leaves of the order Pinna. By extraction with alkali a resin soap is formed, from which the woody fiber can be removed, and which, on the addition of fat and completion of the saponification, yields an ordinary soap, containing resin and fatty acids. Artificial ainsk. The comparative scarcity of 'musk and its wide use in pharmacy, makes the discovery of a substitute of some importance. A sub stance has beeu prepared, which, though not identical in composition with natural musk, yet is possessed of its peculiar smell. It is not poisonous, and is now being pro duced on a manufacturing scale in Ger many. Dancer In Anilprranr. One cause assigned by several physicians and druggists for the increasing number of victims to the opium habit is the use of anti- .$" pyrene. A great number of young women, especially female clerks, take antipyrene in such quantities that it finally loses its restor ative power. They then resort to morphine. High Speed on the Ocean. It has been said that when the danger of collision arises, if a vessel is slowed down she will have timeto get out of the way. This, as a matter of fact, is a fallaoy. The faster a ship steams the more fully is she under command of her helm, and this is especially true in the present day of steam steering gear when the quartermaster has unlimited power at his command to pnt the helm over quickly. Ocean liners will never go slowly enough to enable them to stop and go astern in the event of meeting in a fog. Captains will always depend on the manenvering properties of their ships, and, as already stated, the faster they go the more quickly will the rndder act so that speed, which from one point of view is an element of danger, has ts counterbalancing advan tages. The opinion of our best skippers in clines toward the greater safety for their ships being obtained at high speeds, in tha matter of danger from collision in case of meeting other steamers in a fog. tens! tire Scale. A great many ingenious devices owe their origin to taking some old familiar appli ance and making it serve a new purpose. Hardly any invention is commoner than a pendulum clock, and yet from one of its parts an American inventor has developed a scale 'much more sensitive than the best knife-edge balance. If the wire rod by which a pendulum rod hangs is examined, the upper end, where it'is fastened to the clock frame, will be found flattened into the form of a spring. As a spring the metal sways to and fro with the minimum of friction. Suspending the horizontal rod of his balance from just such a spring, the inventor has been able not only to construct an exquisitely sensitive scale, measuring one part in 2,350,000, but also to build a testing machine, in which steel bars are drawn out and broken as easily as ii they were glass, and In which the force at work is indicated with the utmost accuracy. The Amerlcnn Citizen. The American citizen is not content to exist as a mere animal. Physical well being does not limit his desire or aspiration. He is especially solicitous for the welfare and advancement ofjiis children, and freely depletes a limited income in their education and training for a career in life, often upon other than ancestral lines. This tendency may become excessive, and is already, to some extent, creating a distaste for useful industry, and a desire for conspicuous posi tion, for accumulation without labor, and speculative rather than productive occupa tion. Thus the average American lives npon a high plane, exciting the envy and emulation of people of other countries, and inducing extraordinary immigration. Plaster Houe. An innovation in building has been sug gested, which, although it can hardly yet be said to have been fairly tested, seems to pos sess excellent points. The framework of a house is erected in the ordinary way, and for large buildings iron or steel may be used. On the studding of this framework a metal lathing is nailed, which covers everything excepting the doors and windows. The meshes ot the lath are diamond-shaped, and the surfaces are turned at an angle. The lath is first coated with a mixture of mortar and cement, afterward is added an inch oi cement, which is finished and lined in imi tation of any kind of stone. The cost is said to be but little in excess of that of the ordinary methods. Photographing Clondi. A good suggestion has been thrown out for the benefit of those who have not had much experience in making cloud negatives: If the sun is to be included in the picture, films of ground-glass backed plates should be used. Any lens which will take a good landscape can be used, and its smallest stop should be employed. As a rule, the ex posure will be about one second on a slow plate, but in the case of red sunrises and sunsets, this may otten be increased to as much as eight or even ten seconds, unless isochromatic plates are available. The de velopment must be very carefully watched, and not carried too far." Prof. Shaler'a Opinion. Prof. Shaler is of the opinion that what is popularly termed natural gas is destined to speedy exhaustion, but be thinks its effects on the economio methods of onr civilization are certain to be enduring; and that the superior cleanliness and convenience of gas as a fuel will bring the world to the use of manuiactured gfls for fuel purposes when the supply of natural gas has given out, and in those localities where the geological formation is such that the discovery of natural gas can not be hoped for. Floating; Sawmill. A floating sawmill is found to be a use ful adjunct to the business of a lumberman. The craft usually employed for this purpose is about 40 feet by 80 feet, and draws about 18 inches of water. All the hands con nected with the lumbering work live aboard, and the boat travels up the river, stopping whenever a good lot of timber is sighted near the banks. Keeping Post From Decay. Sulphate ot copper is recommended for keeping posts and timber from decay. It is Btated that in Norway telegraph poles are preserved by boring inch holes and filling with sulphate of copper crystals, and after ward plugging the holes with wood. The crystals gradually dissolve and permeate the wood, turning it to a greenish color. FOB COSTEMPT OP COTJET. A Very Small Inheritance Canning a Large Amount of Trouble In the Orphans' Court yesterday a rule was issued on Henry Schild, Jr., adminis trator of Henry Schild, to show canse why he shonld not be attached for contempt of court. The rule was issued at the petition of Mrs. Anna E. Dickerson. She stated that by the final decree of the conrt in settling the estate of Henry Schild, she, as next of kin, was awarded $16 04, which the adminis trator was directed to pay. He has neglected to do so, though he has had abundant time and been requested to, and the court was asked to attach him for contempt. THE NEW STYLES Henry F.

School Directors Ask Conrt to Re voke a Wholesale License DUQUE8NE WANTS TOBE A BOROUGH A Convict's Wife Asks for a Severance f Her Marriage Ties. ONE DAI'S W0KK INTHECOTJKTT C0DET8 Judge Kagee yesterday issued a rule om James Tuitle, a wholesale liquor dealer at the corner of Smallman and Thirty-first streets, to show cause why his license should not be revoked. The rule was granted oa the petition of the members of the School Board of the Springfield sub-district, Twelfth ward. In their petition they stated that tbey wished to call the attention of the Court to a matter which, in their opinion, demands the immediate attention of tne Court. Tuitle'a place, they said, is a one-story, two-roomed bouse at the corner of Smallman and Thirty-first streets, and the Court granted him a wholesale license dur ing the present year. Prom their personal observation and from reliable information received they have) reason to believe that liquor is sold and consumed on the premises, which they be lieve is against the provisions of the law. This has the effect of causing considerable drunkenness and rowdyism in the immediate neighborhood and is detrimental to tha morals of the children attending school. As the school yard immediately adjoins this saloon, thereiore they, in the interest of tha school children and the neighboring citizens, asked for relief by such action as the Court could bestow. The petition was signed by E. B. Elliott, J. C. Boas, Louis Baker, C. P. Sheers, David Henderson and Dr. J. A. HcCready. WARTS TO BE A B0E0UGH.

The present petition, however, is signed by a great majority, and a request is mada that the petition be presented to the grand jury, and the court made au order accord ingly. TO BE IEEE TROTS.
