The much-talked-of meeting of the National leaue was commenced at tbe Filth Avenue Hotel to-day. It is the most important meeting the League has ever held, as it will no doubt determine tbe future of the national game. The delegates present were: A. H. Soden and AV. H. Conant. Boston; C. H. Byrne and J. J. Doyle, 'Brooklyn; A. G. Spaldins, J. W. Spalding and A. C. Anson, Chicago; F. De H. Robinson, George W. Howe and Davis Hawley, Cleveland; John B. Day, C. T. Dillingham and Joseph T. Gordon, 2Tew Tort; A. J. Beach and John I. Rogers, Philadelphia; P. Palmer O'Xeil and W. A. Ximick. Pittsburg: John T. Brush and TV. H. Schmidt. Indianapolis. Besides these there were also in atteudance: ri. R. Van Per Hoist and William Barne. of Balti more: Allen W. Thurman, of Columbus, and Chris Von Der Abe. The representations of Baltimore and St. Louis were somen hat or a surprise to the dele gates from those cities, as none knew the others were coining. They did not represent the Association, but their individual clubs. The Association, it was said, had held a meeting, and, on the proposition to have tbe Association represented at the League meeting, the vote was a tie. Those who voted In the negative thought that it would not be advisable to attend this meetlnc, but one to be held later on, when some definite plan of action had been arranged. Nick Young presided at the meeting. KIHST RELIABLE SEWS. When the delegates were called to order the existing condition of affairs was immediately taken up. Allen W. Thurman was present. and started in his role of peacemaker. The delegates were in session until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when a ncess was taken for an hour. When they reconvened there was no further interruption. As a delegate came out, cue after another, to get a breath of cool air, perspiration stood out all over hit brow, show ing that the discussion going on inside was prettj strong. The first exact news that emanated from the meeting room was brought by A. W. Spalding, who said that tbe League had had bona fide offers to place a club in Cincinnati to be in the League. It was learned br a Dispatch le poxter from a thoroughly reliable source that the proposition talked over was for the merg mg of the three present organizations into two. The nrsi League is to be composed of 2sew YorK, Brooklyn ana . Philadelphia in the East: Chicago, Cleve land, Columbus and Indianapolis in the W est. 1 he second League to be composed of Boston, Philadelphia. Baltimore ana Washing, ton in the East; bt. Loms, Louisville, Pitts burg and Cincinnati in the west. The Dis patch informant said that according to this it was proposed to do away with 0'.Ncii's club in Pittsburg, for Al Johnson to leave Cleveland and take charge of the Cincinnati club. If this plan were carried through. Boston and Philadelphia would be the only two cities where there would be two clubs. A CONFERENCE COMMITTEE. It was at 9 o'clock that the first action was taken toward a cessation of hostilities by the .National League magnates passing the follow ing: Kesolved. That A. G. Spalding. John B. Day and C.

As soon as seme de cision is arrived at the League committee will report to all the League delegates, and the Players' League will have a meeting right away.

The National League will meet again this morning in council. AH IMPOSTANT BEQUEST. The Local P. L. Club's Opinion Asked About a Baseball Conference. The directors of the local P. L. club received a request yesterday to send a representative to the baseball conference, which is to be held at New York probably this week. The request was made by the President of the Players' League. Manage- Hanlon, President SIcC.il lin and Directors 31. B. Lemon and W. V. Kerr, of the local club, discussed the matter and concluded they could be represented by proxy. Mr. Lemon was urged to go, but his business would not permit his leaving the clly. Last evening 3Ianager Hanlon stated that the request only asked the opinion of tl e club on the action of President MeAInin in annnmr. ing a committee of three to meet three repre sentatives of the National League in confer ence. The local club indorsed the action of President 3IcAlpin, but it is also a fact that Mr. Lemon was requested to go and personallr represent this citj. The request from New York, however, shows that a conference has been made, and that an attempt will be made to end all the baseball humbug that has spoiled the season of 1K9Q. It Was Too One Sided. The local N. L. teamand the Oaklands played a one-sided ball game at Itecreation Park yes terday in the presence of 1C9 people. The Oaklands coula do nothing with Anderson, of the N. L. aggregation.

AWAY GO THE RECORPS. Nelson Beats the Stallion Trotting Record of the World and Hal Pointer Makes a New Hark at Terre Hante. Teere Haute, Ind., October 9. The three fastest harness records in the world. That is the mark hung up to-day on the Terre Haute track and it is likely to be shot at for many a long day. The fastest stalhou record. 2:11& the fastest mile ever paced or trotted in a race, 2.-0 and the three fastest heats in a race, 2aT. 2:1 2:13. Amphitheater, paddock and infield were filled to-day with spectators to witness the greatest card of events ever off erefl by a trotting asso ciation. It was a perfect autumn day. with a gentle breeze blowing, and the track was very fast. The groat attraction was tbe announce ment that Nelson would go to beat Axtell's time, 2:12. madeover this track last fall. About 3 o'clock the great Maine stallion appeared on the track, driven by his owner and driver. C H. Nelson, and was given a warming-up heat in 253, the last quarter in 32 A quarter of an hour later tbe purple cap ana jacket of the Pine Tree State horseman was seen. A great cheer w ent up from 10,000 throats as the stallion, with his smooth and fnctionless motion, came brushing down the stretch. The purple cap was doffed again and again. The second time down the word was giveu, with the stallion going smooth and rong with the runner back. Tbe rate was deceptive, nut tne lunongs neing compassed in 1 was a pointer to tne great ciiort tuat was on. The watches split at 32 seconds at tbe first quaner, the half in l.-oyi: the horse going en tirely on his courage. N ow the runner quickens his stride and moves up. and with bis ear' laid back, the great stallion catches the half, beats behind bim another link is let nut as he gamely fights against father time. To the three-quarter pole in 1:36J: and as he swings into tbe turn for borne all know that another record has gone down. Cheer after cheer goes up as be flashes under the wire in 2:1IJ and the dense throng realizes tbe importance of the event The driver, C. H. Nelson is scarcely permitted to salute the judges for dismounting orders ere the track is black with a wildly enthusiastic crond. Nelson is liftBf bodily from the sulky and borne aloft on tbe shoulders of tbe enthu siasts. Tbe s'allion's neck is encircled with a wreath of flowers and quite a time elapses before the every inch a king of stallions can be led off tbe track. The time by Quarter? was 32. K25J. 31K. Z&l.

The third heat was war again, and with tbe time 2.13, rounded out the three fastest heats ever gone in harness and that, too, by the de spised parers that are commonly supposed to find the last quarter very long.

Princeton mid Yale Football Authorities Settle Their Differences. Princeton, October 9. The Princeton-Yale game will in all probability be played at Eastern Park, Brooklyn. Captain Poe told a reporter to-day that tbe football management bad ex amined the grounds and was now considering Eastern park as the probable battle field. Tbe final Yale-Prlncoton baseball game was played there last June, and the Princeton men were woll satisfied with the arrangements and ac commodations made for tbe spectators, as well as with the field itself. President Wilson, of the University Football Association, said to dav: "Captain Poe and I are in favor ol Eastern Park. We have talked the matter over, and think it would be the better place. Itis much larger than tbe Berkelev Oval, and there is room for 7,000 inBtead of'LOOO people under cover as compared to the Berkeley stand, and tnis is a very important factor when tho chances of a wet day at that season are so great. The soil is better, and won't rex muddy like the Berkeley grounds, being of a sanay nature. We don't know bow Yale feels about it yet. but will before this week closes." Wilson, Foe and Max Farrand, of Princeton, and the Yale management will visit Eastern Park Friday next and are likely to come to a decision. There is scarcely a possibility that the Brother hood grounds will be chosen, as a good shower of rain makes it a complete gutter bed, as was tbe case the day of tbe Princeton-Yle baseball game, when the outfielders were obliged to run tbrougb'mud from four to eight inches deep, although in summer time. THE HOME FOOTBALL MATCH. Players Selected to Represent the Allegheny Clhb In To-Morrow's Contestj, The football team of the Allegheny Athletic Club has been selected to compete against the Shadyside team to-morrow at Exposition Park. Tbe makenp of tbe team is as follows: Rush liner, right end. Robinson; left end, H. Brown; right tackle, C. Townley; left tackle, J. Ham mond; right guard, Scott White; left guard, J. Oliver: center, John Moorbead; quarter back. W. a Carnegie; right half back, Harry Pry, Jr.: Iett half back. James McCordi full back. H. Oliver; substitute, O. D. Thompson. Tbe match will commence at 3:45, and if tbe weather is fine there will likely be a good contest. It is probable that the local team will play a match agaii.st the Chicago Athletic Club, shortly. The home players are getting very pretty uniforms from the firm of A. H. Pratt & Co. The gamo will be played during the prog ress of tbe amateur athletic games. Yale's Football Schedule. Niw Haven, October 9. Tbe Yalo Uni versity Football Association has completed its schedule for the season. Following is a list of tbe games arranged tobeplased: October 8, Wesleyan, 3Iiddletown; October 11, Lehigh, New Haven: October 15, Trinity.

Now Haven: November 22, Harvard; November 27, Princeton. Sporting; Notes. W. H. Thompson-, the Staten Island crack cricketer, has gone back to England for good. Fariiell and Sanders, according to th figures, form the best battery in tbe Players' League. Hamilton Is entitled to the credit of being the League's great base stealer. He pilfered 92 bases. There is certainly any amount of wire pulling going on among tbe baseball magnates at present. It Is claimed that W. H. Morton, of the Salford Harriers, can run five miles In less tlme,than 2a minutes. Martin Duke, the pitcher whom Manager Hanlon expected to sign, has re-signed with the Minneapolis team. Kkddt" Mack, one of tha Baltimore club's best players, was yesterday fined S50 and sus pended for drunkenness. IT has become th fashion to speak of Anson's team as as an aggregation of younii colts, which Is wide of the mark. Anion, Burns, Carroll, Hutch inson and Elmer Foster are not spring chickens by any means. Kikzea Stone has entered suit against the Washington Park Association, Chicago, for?12, COO, the Hyde Park stakes, which Mr. stone's horse, Kingman, won at the July race meeting.

Medical 31en Have Reached a Stage From ITIiIcIi They Talk Hopefully. Professor Koch's investigations as to the feasibility of tubercular inoculation as a prophylactic has attracted much attention. The highest authority on pulmonary dis eases, Dr. Williams, of London, has said: "Surely the time has come when we can hold ont a fairly hopeful view to the con sumptive patient. "We can tell him that if he is prepared to make certain sacrifices of time, money and liberty, to carry out rigidly certain common sense rules which long ex perience of the disease inculcates, he may live for a long period, even for the ordinary span of life, and continue his occupations and duties," ' After treating 1,000 patienti, savs Dr. George B. Bradley in the New York 2Vt6 une, he retiorted: "The well class number 35 Per cent, the tolerably well 36L and the worse 28 per cent, the two first classes comprising 72 per cent of the whole." Loskoff obtained good results In 90 out of 112 cases. Sommerbrodkof, of Breslau, proved creosote beneficial in 5,000 cases. Marvelous results are being daily recorded, and pulmonary'consumption is undoubtedly amenable to treatment. During this depressing and unfavorable season let the so-called consumptive remem ber while he reads dispatches concerning Koch's researches that even now to quote "Williams again "under careful treatment life may be prolonged for many years in comfort and usefulness and in not very few casesthe disease so permanently arreslod that it may fairly be called cured." PICTOEED IK DEATH. The Corpse of Burrows, the Bandit King, Photographed. Birmingham, October 9. The dead body of the famous bandit king, Rube Burrows, reached Birmingham at 3:30 o'clock this morning and was gazed upon by hundreds of eager sight-seers as it Jay in the plain pine box. There came with the body the search party who had been scouring the wilderness of South Alabama ever since the robbery on August 29, bounding the modern terror. It had been decided that a photograph should be taken of the dead man and ac cordingly the coffin was erected on end in a corner. Burrows' Martini rifle and his pistol were placed by his side when the picture was taken. This morning at 11 o'clock the rude coffin was placed on the express car of the Katms City, Memphis aud Birmingham road, in charge of Detec tive Jackson and Superintendent Agee and will be held for lurtber identification, and then turned over to his father, old man Allen Burrows, for burial, if be so desires; if not, the express company will bury it. JUBILEE J0GGIHS AGAIN. The Spendthrift's Stage Aspirations Excite Adverse Comment. New York World. Tbe news that Jubilee Joggins has de cided to go on the stage is calling forth a good deal ol comment on bath sides ot the Atlantic. There is a feeling in theatrical circles that the limit is being pressed pretty closely in matters of this sort. John L. Sullivan, Sybil Johnstone and Mrs. Leslie Carter have caused a good deal of comment among old players here, but they have been swallowed. There is a feeling that Jubilee Joggins, however, is the last straw. Be is tne vacuous person who spent near ly 2,000,000 in two years, who never wore the same shirt or the same suit of clothes twice, who has gone through most of the courts, beeu in jail for swindling and forg ing, and is now rusticating In a gambling house inBcgent street. It is announced with great impressiveness that Ladv Dunlo has -made a vigorous and public protest against such persons as Jubilee Joggins being per tmitted to go on the stage. IP CITY IS THEIRS. Continued IYom First Page. and novel to them, especially the exhibit of farming implements which are constructed differently from the English make. The machinery was ably described by Messrs. W. K. Given and Emil Swerisser, assisted by a corps ot guides. The partv, which numbered abW 300, then sought the main building. The" lady visitors were most interested in the display in this department, and the art exhibit was commended highly by a large number of the party. After this the party went sight-seeing in the building by themselves in parties of twos and threes. , At 6 o clock they con gregated in the yard separating Machinery Hall and the main building. While here the visitors discussed the big exhibit and passed tbeir opinions on it. They compli mented the promoters of the society for hav ing such a creditable exhibit with only two years' experience. The local committee ex plained that the industrial exhibit was not to be taken as a sample of what the city manufactured, it being on too small a scale to ever begin to show what the city pro duces. Kidnaping Some of the Visitors. Mr. A. S. Morris summoned the guides of the Penn avenue excursion, and requested them to show the visitors as much of the mills ont Penn avenue as the time would allow. One enterprising manufacturer of steel castings who was determined that his works would not be missed, shouted, "All ab0ard for works," and a number of the visitors followed him to tbe carriages. where the manufacturer gave orders to the hnckmen to drive to his works, thus secur ing a visit from the visitors that he might have otherwise missed. The diQerent excursion parties were formed. The visitors had their choice of a trip down the Ohio to Davis Island dam, or to tne enn avenue mills, xne latter route was taken by the manufacturers of the" party, while the trip to the Ohio connecting bridge was taken in by the engineers, on the excursion steamer Nellie Hudson. Alter the delay of half hour the party numbering about 100 visitors and 50 of the local reception committee, left on the boat, the trip down being made lively by the stirring strains ot a brass band, which played all the national airs, just to make all aboard feel perfectly at home. No End to the Mills. As the steamer sped on down the broad stream, skirted on both sides by rolling mills, blast furnaces, locomotive works, oil refineries, steel works, and every conceiv able kind ot industrial plant, the foreigners stood on tbe deck awed bv the magnitude of this small section of Pittsburg and Alle gheny. Mile after mile was passed, and as the smoke irom a blast furnace would loom up lar ahead the visitors would ask: "How lardown do these mills reach? As the boat rounded at curve and the Riverside Penitentiary presented itself, one English gentleman asked, "Whose cistleisthat yon der?" Mr. Zug, of Zug & Co., informed the visitor that it was the penitentiaryXThe Englishman looked at Mr. Zug as if he dis believed him. He was convinced, how ever, when the boat drew nearer and he saw the Gothic window barred. Passing Oliver Brothers' lower mills at Verner, the long line of mills was passed and from here down the visitors admired the see -ery. A short stop was made at Davis Island, the visitors being prevented from seeing how the great dam was operated on account of the high stage of water. The return to the Exposition was without incident. DOWN IN A COAL MINE, FOREIGNERS SURPRISED TO SEE BY ELECTRICITY. MINING A Distinguished Party Visits the Mononga hela Company's Plant They Were Sur prised Bnt Denounced the Waste of Coal as Outrageous How the Machine Worked. A car load of delegates, mining engineers, -electricians and others interested in the coal business went to Willock station on the J Wheeling division of the Baltimore and Ohio Kailroad yesterday, where the mines of the First Pool Monongahela Gas Coal Company are located. The party was in charge of John S. Scully, owner of the mines and also president of tbe Hercules Mining Machine Company, which has several of its mining machines working in the mine. Tbe object of the visit of the partv was to witness tbe actual operation of tbe machines which are operated by the Westing-kouse-Tesla motor. The start was made from the Baltimore and Ohio station at 3:30 o'clock, and among tbe prominent gentlemen of the patty were Sir William Thomas Lewis. of Aber dale. South Wales, and one of the greatest cnal operators in the world: Franz Sommcrsbach, another extensive operator, of Bacbum. Germany; GeorgeSalter, a prominent iron manulacturer of We3t Brom wich, England; Herbert Harlakenden Gil christ, a deep-thinking metallurgical engineer of London; J. H. Pearson, one of Stafford shire's best known iron and coal masters; H. A. Wheeler, Adj. Professor of Mining at the Washington University in Kr, Louis; Arthur B. Meeker, of Washington, interrs oil in Ten nessee iron nulls; State Mine Inspector Blick, of the Seventh district: C. F. Scott, Electrician C. F. Scott, of the Westinghonse Company and Ins assistant, H. M. Reed: Manager Thomas B. McKaig, of the Hercules Company, and many others. Into the Bowels of the Earth. The objective point was about eight miles from the cits', and upon arriving at the mines, tbe gentlemen first Inspected the djnamos in tbe engine room. After Electrician $cott baa explained everything, lamps were lighte'd and tbe party entered tbe mine. Tho latter is a perfectly level opening in tba hillside, and there was no shaft to go down into a seemingly bottomless pit. Everything went well until the bead of one nt tbe gentlemen came into contact with a support on the ceiling of the low mine and then was heard a smothered exclamation that would not look well in print. After apparently tramping over a good section of the earth underground in a stooping position, the party entered one of tbe rooms wbere a solitary miner was found work ing a machine. The latter was a small, com pact system of drills and wheels set on a truck, with the drills pointed at theroal. 1 ho ma chine was run by a Tesla electric motor, and made but little noise. Aft(r piercing the coal in ono place the truck was pushed forward by tho miner and tbe drills began work in a new place. It took just seven minutes to put a dozen two-inch drills three and a half feet into tho coal oack) and whilo moving the truck It was not neces sary to ftnp the drill-'. Tbe machine covered a space of 20 fet-1 In one hour, and when ibe end of tbe "room" was reached a light charge of fowder was put in on top and the coal loosened. t was then readv to bo shoveled Into cars and run out of tbe mine. Criticising the Waste of Coal. Tbe visitors wero delighted with tbe operation of tbe machine, which it is claimed saves 31 cents per ton on the mining price to the firm. With tho use of the machine coal can be put on cars for 4S cents per ton, while tbe Pittsbnrs district price for mining is 79 cents. The miner who 1 una the raachina. it is claimed, can earn from S2 75 to 83 25 per dav, the ordinary output being about 40 tons. This is more than be could earn by tbe old method and does not have to lie on his side all day at his work. By tbe machine system of mining, instead of a miner be becomes an engineer. Tbe only fault found by the distinguished visitors was the great waste of coal, which tbey say they would not allow in their country. In stead of throwing away the small coal mixed with sbale, thev would have it washed out and save every small piece. The slack thrown away, they alo claimed, could bo used, ana in a year the proceeds would amount to consider able. After thoroughly inspecting tho ventilating apparatus, fans and everything but the mules, the partv made Its exit from tho mlno mnch pleased. The gentlemen returned to the city at6:3a AMONG "SOUTHSIDE MILLS. BRITISH VISITORS ENJOY A BRIEF TOUR OF BUSY WORKSHOPS. The Programme Was Far Too Long for One Day-Consecjnently the Visit Was Limited to the Mills of the Olivers and Jones & Laughllns. The tour over the Southside yas not near ly so extensive as it was intended to be, partly because it would have been a physical impossibility to go through wltH the whole programme, partly because the visitors were tired and partly because some of tbe establishments on tbe programme are common affairs in England and Germany. There were -not over twenty visitors in the party. They were escorted from the Exposition at 3 o'clock by Mr. D. B. Oliver, director of the Oliver & Roberts wire mill, at the foot of South Ninth street. , The visit to this establishment lasted about 20 minutes. Tbe time was spent studying tbe manner in which wire is turned out at the rate of 280.000 pounds a day, and it was tbe source of much interest to tbe British manufacturers. A short call was then made at the Oliver Iron and Steel Company's South Twelfth street mill, where the Clapp-Griffith process of mak ing steel is operated. Each member of the party "took notes" on .the explanations made by Mr. Oliver, who did not have much diffi culty in entertaining tho gentlemen. Tbe party was then driven to the American Iron Works. The visitors were disappointed at not meeting Mr. B. F.Jones, but be was un avoidably prevented from being present to wel come them. Ther were shown tnrougb tbe establisbment by Roland Gerry, of the firm, and Edward Matthews, the Assistant Manager. Tbe latter is a native of Bristol, England, and was acquainted with one or two members of tbe party. Tbe chief point of interest seemed to be tbe steel department, and especially that part of it wbere steel rods are rolled and pol ished by machinery at tbe same time. Tbe partv returned to the city shortly before 6 o'clock. UP THE ALLEGHENY. A TOUR OF INSPECTION OF PENN AVENUE MILLS. Watching theVJIIanufactuxe of Iron and Steel by the Latest Processes Surprised at the Employment of Colored Laboring Men A Special Test, At 3 o'clock a party of about 14 boarded a Penn avenue car and journeyed out to view some of the plants along the river. Among them wore James Piatt, of the Atlas Works, Gloucester, Eng.; J. F. Hall, ot Norbnry, Sheffield, Eng.; George Siddell, Pltsmoor. Sheffield, Eng.; B, A. Hadfleld, of the steel works of the name at Sheffield, and Alexander Jack, general manager of the same works. Tbe first stop was made at Mcintosh Hemp hill's big foundry and machine works. Mr. James Hemphill conducted tbe visitors through tbe establishment, and subsequently accom panied them over the other plants. From the foundry the party went on to Park Bros. Steel Works, where thev were shown through a portion of the works. They next visited the Carbon Iron Works and shown ovor the entire establishment by Superintendent Losh and Mr. Matthew Graff, the latter gentle man explaining the different processes as tbey went along. Some of the party evinced great interest in tbe methods of manufacture and piled tbe officials and workmen with qnestions. The; seemed to be struck by the number of colored men at work here. Their next call was to tbe Pittsburg Reduction Works. Very much interest was shown in the method of reducing the aluminium from the ore by tbe electrical process. One of the tubs being ready, several ingots were cast from it for the benefit of tbe visitors. From this a visit was made across tbe road to the Adams direct process plant on Park Bros.' ground. The Messrs. Blair made extensive ex planations regarding the process, which were attentively listened to. Mr. Alexander Jack and Mr. Haafield, of Sheffield, were desirous of learning all there was to be told about it. At this time the sight seeing terminated, and bid ding goodby to Mr. Hemphill and the Messrs. Blair, tbe visitors returned home. THOSE ON THE OUTSIDE. SCENES AND ON SIXTH The Duquesne Clnb a Magnet to Which Was Drawn Large Crowds of People Anxious to See the Iron and Steel Kings. A large and curious throng surrounded the Duquesne Club house last evening and watched with eager interest the carriages bearing the guests invited to the reception of the iron and steel magnates, and Sixth avenue was lined with people. Carriages entered the avenue at Wood street, drove to the door of the club house and then back to Wood and other adjoining streets to await tbe pleasure of their masters. The carriages were often used by the police as a means of clearing the streets of the crowds, tbe driver being instructed to guide his horses through the crowds and cause a stampede. A student of human nature might have found a splendid field for operations in the crowd in .frnntnf t.hn Diinnpann Hint) fVr-M tin rnnld nave seen representatives of everv nation ana of every class 01 society. Juen in lull dress hung around on the outside anxious to finish a cigar before entering tbe club bouse. Here and there could be seen ladies of an uncertain age. whose dress and manner indicated that tbey were certainly not other than genteel, and their escorts were gentlemen of manly bearing. There were old ladic3 and 'little girls with prayer books and Bibles In hand, evidently going home from the prayer meetings in the neighboring churches. And there were others who. manners would indicate that they were not at prayer meeting, nor had tbey ever beard of such a thing. But no matter what clime or station they represented, all were there for the same object, and the many remarks passed wnuld give much food for thought, Tbe stone wall on the opposite side of tbe street was lined witb youngstenvwlio delighted to make remarks about tbe occTTpants of car riages, hoot at the drivers and do anything else that would cause some one to laugh. One boy or 10 apparently took great pleasure in ques tioning the propriety of tbe costumes of some of the ladies, and as tbey passed the windows of the club hbuse in promenade he would work the well-worn phrases about catching cold, offered to lend one a coat, suggested that another was old enough to know better, and so on. down the line. Of course, this did not botber tbe prnmenaders, because tbey didn't hear it, but it furnished a certain amount of amusement for the bystanders. Tbe scenes on Sixth avenue only go to illus trate two great phases of human nature, buw diiferentlv people enjoy themselves. Thoso on the outside langhed at tbe kind of pleasure en joyed by tbe promenaders in the club house, and as many locked out tlin windows and saw tbe watching crowd, doubtless smiled inwatdly at their ideas of pleasure.

James gives an interesting account in the Christian Union of the way that the New York Postof&ce handles its enormous mails. Of a new automatic contrivance he says: "The stamping is now done by a machine, which will cancel, postmark, count and stack the letters and postal cards at the rate of about 25,000 per hour. In two hours and two minutes it cancelled, postmarked, counted and stacked 46,480 letters and. postal cards.of which 21,000 were letters. The ma chine is driven by an electric motor, bnt can be run with foot-power like a small printing press."
