Griffin's Desire to rfett Andy rwen ar.d Oiitr
Ixadlr? Tcjio.
It is to some extent with fear and trem
bling that I venture to say a few words
about the affairs of the national game to
day. All the harmony that we all thought
had been established at that famous Indian
apolis meeting seeras to have been knocked
into oblivion, and a? a result no matter
what any one of us says it is sure to rr.Cie
the serenity of somebody's mind. Xone of
us are above criticism by any means, but
there ought alnays to be a little of the gen
tleman at least in our fanlt-unding, and
when insult is intended there is absolute
evidence of a lack of intelligence and knowl
edge of the subject under discussion. For
instance, a day or two ago my friend, J. B.
Foster, of Cleveland, and myself were
. abused and crumbled at by a man who
knows so much about baseball that he really
cannot ecore a game. It really is people, of
that c!a3 who cause all the trouble and
misunderstanding, because, being devoid of
aknowledce and the question at issue, they
only try to keep themselves before the pub
lic by a species of blackguardism.
If there has been one thin more than an
other that has done the national game good,
that has planted it deep in the public senti
ment and that has purged it of all its most
objectionable features, it has been public
criticism. Men of intelligence, who have
taken, from their boyhood up, a natural in
terest in the game, have pointed a defect
here and a detect there. Methods that for
theime being were considered good have
been improved upon by real outsiders.
"Why, within my own personal experi
ence, I have known in Pittsburg, lawyers,
business men and newspaper men who have
expressed original ideas regarding the bet
terment of the game at a time when nobody
thought the ideas were worth listening to.
Some of these ideas are now in operation
and are the good features of tho panic to
day. But in the utterance ot there new
thoughts there has always been a gentle
manliness that demanded attention. I,
therefore, repeat that a man who has an in
telligence worthy the name and a new idea
to express never expresses it by blackguard
ing everybody else who has a different idea
Let us have all the intelligent criticism pos
sible, but one doesn't need badinage, insult
ing talk and poll parrot utterances.
Disputed Claims.
On Friday last I received a letter from a
very prominent official ot the I was going
to say National League, but it is the new
League. I am not at liberty to make the
letter or the writer public, but I can say
that in the letter the writer said that a lew
Tittsburgcrs have done very much harm to
the interests of their club by foolish, frothy
and wild talk. The writer mentions two
cases, viz., those of Lyons and Grimm, and
goes on to say that where there was a great
chance ot lavors being granted to i'utsbur:
these chances are now small, simply be
cause one o- two irresponsible people hae
made it their business to class everybody in
the new League, oxcept a ie-.v Pittsburg
officials, "rogues and rascals." Unfor
tunately it is true that there is
reason for an opinion of this kind,
but the people who know Pittsburgers
know that they are not vendors of
billingsgate talk and that we estimate the
gentlemen of the new League as men who
arc beyond roguery and rascality. After
all it is the "firecracker" individuals who
do the harm. They want to be busy and
they haven't auy original ideas that caa
produce good.
"Well, now, regarding the claims Pitts
burg and other clubs ha e on Lyons and
Grimm little can be said. In accordance
with a rule of this paper, we never pro
nounce nntil both idcs" are heard. As far
as known Pittsburg's claims for Lyons are
strong, although Picsident Young has
within the last few days talked about an
"understanding" that was agreed Jo among
the mrgnates at Indianapolis. It niav seem
trivial, but really this matter of an "under
standing" may cut a very great figure when
the final hearing of the question i:Aes place.
I am inclined to think it will. But
just as sure as we live Secretary S;andrett
is honestly positive that no su"h "under
standing" was made. All that we can do.
therefore, is to credit everybody witli
honesty of purpose and believe that the de
sire to do right will guide them.
There is apparently no claim at ail be
longing to the Louisville club for Grimm.
True, Louisville may have something of
which we in Pittsburg know nothing, but
as lar as known there is not the shadow of a
reason why Grimm should not stay in Pitts
burg and live up to his contract. Likely
enough there would not have been anv
trouble at ell about Grimm if one or two
people ha.l not publicly abused everybody
regarding ihe Lyons case.
Tho Tear's Rsispball Prospect.
It is not too early to form an opinion as
to what the baseball prospects of this vear
are. In all directions there are indications
that the season will be a very bright and
busv one. The very fact of clubs all around
fighting for this player and that player
shows how lively the interest in the busi
ness is. All these contentions now going
on will have good results as well as bad
ones. They will certainly arouse public
curiositv regarding the players in question
and will cause many pcopie to read about
baseball matters who otherwise would hardly
pay any attention to the game at all for a
long time.
It this interest is sustained the year will
certainly be a profitable one to those who
have money invented in the business and
this fact in turn will have its general good
effects on baseball. To me, the great and
oniy uauger mere is, seems to oe, tnc ex
periment of 12-clubs. The new organiza
tion's own weight may kill it That fact
that evert body connected with it is so much
in earnest about making it -a success may go
a long way toward smoothing down manv
difficulties that are sure to appear, but it
ever factional warfare or contentions crop
into the 12-club league we can rest assured
that it will soon hi rent asunder.
Each club is now rapidly completing its
quantity of player". Here and there a
player is needt-J, but the various lists have
all been so well tilled i'i that we can form a
good estimate as to the makeup of each
team. It docs no: require the second glance
to find that the Boston team are by far a
more powerful looking bit than any other.
Beyond all doubt the Bostons have a3 strong
a team as there were ever gotten together.
In every position they arc strong, that is,
taking past iccords for it But as Me all
know, we have had teams that looked for
midable on paper and that entirely col
lapsed w hen they got into actual contest.
lew York will nave a good team, and no
body i.eed overlook that tact, and t-o will
Chicaio and Brooklyn. How Pittsburir,
Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Cleveland will
turn out is very problematical. But I have
much faith in Cleveland and the Pittsburg
teams. They are not by any means showy
.aggregations, but they give promise of being
extremelv useful.
Time will have to tell how our fonr new
comers trill fare. At present each seems to
be well satisfied with the outlook and there
isgood reason to think that Washington
will have a very strong and attractive lot of
players.
The County League.
Everything is now going grandly along
with the County League. They have made
a good Mart fornext season, and it is not
too much to say that the prospects of the
League were never better than at present
There will be a better class of players in the
League this car than there has been here
tofore, and tliis will tend to make the con
test closer and more exciting. The East
End Gyms will have a much harder lot of
opponents to face this year than they had
last year, and I would not be surprised to
find AVilkinsburg making things very
lively for the best of them.
Of course, East Liverpool has been de
nied admission to the League. Those com
posing the organization contend that they
desire to keep it strictly a county affair; in
deed, that is the onlyargument that could
be urged agiinstthe a'dmission of theLiver
poo'ites. Now, this must be quite a new
notion of the County League members, be
cause it is not a long time since there was
serious talk of having Greensburg and
Beaver Falls in the League. There was no
objection then about going outside the
countv, and these clubs did not enter the
League because of other reasons entirely
different from a desire to keep all the clubs
in Allegheny county. Certainly if East
Liverpool had been admitted to the League
there would have been increased interest all
round and the status of the League would
not have been injured in anv shape or form.
A Promising Gun Club.
During the week the local gun experts
have been very busy, and as a result we are
to have one of the best gun clubs in the
State What is known as the Pittsburg
Gun Club has been in existence for a long
time, but for some reason or other it
dropped from publio view. A number of
our bet shots are now members of it, and
they intend to develop it into something
great Mr. G. E. Painter is President and
Mr. E. E. Shaner Secretary of the organiza
tion. I know of nobody who is more active
and more enthusiastic in booming shooting
interests than Mr. Shaner, so that he is cer
tain to keen things going merrily along in
the Pittsburg club.
But the members of the club state that
thev intend to make a stock company of it
and have the organization run and managed
on principles similar to the famous Hur
lingham Clnb. If this is done then local
shooters will have nothing to complain of,
as there will be enclosed grounds and shoot
ing contests just as often as two or three
contestants want to have them. "We are
sure to have lots of shooting this year, and
we may expect to have the best shots in the
country contesting in Pittsbursr. There are
more good shots in toe United States to-day
than ever before, and contests of import
ance are consequently more numerous. It
is pleasing to find that Pittsburgers mean to
keep up in the procession.
The Ilomewood Hare.
Secretary McCracken, of the Ilomewood
Driving Park, a few davs ago gave an out
line of what he expects will be the pro
gramme ol the association during the spring
and sumrjer. Durins a conversation he
told me that in ail probability the associa
tion will have three stake races, two small
ones and one of 5.000 or 510,000. The idea
is a good one, and it is likely that it will be
carried into effect
It is proposed that the two small stakes be
for slow horses. This will give owners a
chance to have their "green" stock tried
without much expense, as the entrance fee
is to be comparativelv light The Secre
tary is also tolerably confident that the
directors will agree to have a 510,000 stake
race. If such a race is to take place it will
do much to advertise the Homewood track
thoroughly .throughout the entire country.
It is a pleasure to note that the associa
tion is in a good cond'tion, and that the
directors start off this year under much bet
ter circumstances than last jer.r. Should
the summer meeting be profitable the asso
ciation will be clear ot debt, and that is
very encouraging to everybody concerned.
Toem-r's latest Challenge
John Teemcr 13 a;ain before the world
with a challenge to scull Hanlan orGaudaur
or anybody c -e. These challcnires appear
with remarkable regularity and without any
result as iar as a race is concerned. I don't
mean to insinuate that Tecmer is not sin
cere in his challenges. On the contrary, I
think he is. But Hanlan, in all his talk, is
not sincere. The ex-champion of the world
knows full well that he cannot defeat
Teenier. The former's sun is rapidlr on
th wane and has been for a long time. Still
lie is diily declaring himself to the effect
that he'll row anybody. He knows he won't
do any such thing.
But whv cannot the leading rowers of the
world get up a big sweepstake event, and
contest one against the other to see who is
the best rower? There is some talk of hav
ing such an event as that in England this
year, and it is just the thing. Reports from
Australia state that Stansbury is anxious to
row anvbody. so that it is really interesting
to find three or four men anxious to row
anybody else, and yet they never get a race.
It is likely enough that Stansbury is the
test rower in the world to-day, but he onght
to be able to set a race or two if he would
leave home for awhile.
About JI10 I'njilUlK.
There is less prospect now of a battle be
tween F. P. Slavin and John L. Sullivan
than there has been for a long time. The
Australian has been unable to pioduce the
"needful," as his backer declines to put up
a forfeit at present for Slavin to fight in
America next winter. Much can be said in
favor of this objection, as there is much
that is ridiculous in a demand to have a
forfeit up for nearly 12 months. The Sulli
van partv also want it understood that if
Jackson defeats Slavin any match that is
made between the latter and Sullivan be
declared off, as John L. does not want to
fight a beaten man. It is unfortunate that
an argument of this kind has considerable
force in it nowadays. It has become the
custom to sink everything in the interests
of what is termed "reputation." The lat
ter is the stock-in-trade of those glovists
who are in the show business. Reputation
and noise keep them belore the public.
Slavin cannot well find fault with Sulli
van's demand in view of the fact that
Mitchell declines to meet Fitzsimmons be
cause the latter has not enough of "reputa
tion." One of these days Slavin will be looming
up with plenty of money aud ready to make
a definite match with "Sullivan, and then
something else will occur to prevent any
match making. Thus the two men and
thir friends are kept well before the world
without doing anything but talk. This
suits tne snow Dusmess exactly, and one
partv is just as bad as another. The great
object of all is to "catch" the public. Lots
of them have caught on very well, and
quite a number are busy catching now, and
as long as they can make catches without
fighting bona tide battles depend upon it
they'll do it
lilcliellarul Fitzsimmons.
An excellent offer was made the other
day for a contest letween Mitchell' and
Fitzsimmons. The former declined the
offer, and stated emphatically that he was
done with finish fighting. I was somewhat
surprised to find Mitchell declining to fight
the tall Australian, as, in mv judgment,
Fitz would come ont second best against
Charles Mitchell. The latter, of course,
knows his own business best, and he may
have hid good reasons for declining the
otter. But the remark of Mitchell, to the
effect that he would not engage in any more
finish fights, has caused anv amount of cen
sure to be heaped on the Englishman's
head. This is not fair, and is not consistent
with the many excuses that were nade for
Sullivan when he stated that ho would not
fight any more tinder London prize ring
rules. Surely, if Mitchell's determination
is to be criticized, Sullivan should not
escape.
Bat now that a contest cannot be arranged
between Mitchell and Fitzsimmons, why
not get the latter and Hall together? There
are many good authorities who have seen
both Hall and Fitzsimmons who claim that
Hall is the better man of the two. "Whether
or not thi3 is true the fact remains that Hall
js a very good man, and a contest between
the pair of them would certainly be of
creat interest to patrons of the manly art
None of us can have an absolutely correct
idea of the abilities of Fitzsimmons until he
has met a good man someting like himself
in build. His contest .with Dempsey was
no test at all, inasmuch as there was such a
big difference between them in build and
strength. It may be that a contest will be
arranged between the two Australians be
fore long, and if there is there will be con
siderable speculation on the result
Griffin Is After Eowen.
Griffin, the little fellow who polished off
Larkin so easily, wants to have a go with
Bowen.- Referring to this match, a corre
spondent wrote from Bay St Louis tho
other day as follows:
"There is a good deal of speculation in
regard to the proposed match. Griffin is
now the champion in his class, and Bowen,
though again defeated, is looked upon as a,
good man. Every one who witnessed his
contest with Gibbons declares that he yearly
improves, and that his effort on the 29th
was his best Andy can stand a great deal
of punishment and can hit a terrible blow.
He has a good strong right, and has been
taught to use his left quite cleverly. Andy
Bowen has more muscle than brain, and
right there is where he gets left It is told
ot him that he watches the spectator more
than he does the man in iront of him, and
that when he makes what he thinks a fancy
cut he eyes the peoplo to see how they
take it
"The New Orleans boy has pluck and
never minds defeat One of these davs
Andy will win a battle by main strength,
and pcopie will call him a great boxer.
There was not a man in New Orleans who
would have admitted that Andvwonld have
lasted 48 rounds with Carroll and 28 with
Myer, and if he gets a chance next time
may do a great deal more. Carroll and
Gibbons, who saw both Griffin and Bowen
in their respective bouts, say that Griffin
can defeat Andy." Peihgle.
literary People Don't Always Agree.
Frank Leslie's Weekly. 3
Bronson Alcott, no mean literary censor,
pronounced "Walt Whitman greater than
Plato. Mrs. Gilchrist declared that his
words were like electric streams, and con
tained such wisdom, strength and sunshine
that fhe soul bathes in them renewed and
strengthened. But a writer in the Contem
porary Review in 1875 declared that if any
thing was ever atrociously bad it was the
poetry of Walt Whitman, and that it was
the philosophy of bedlam. And Aprittton't
Juurnalm thenext year arrived at the con
clusion that he wasin his literary life and
methods, a mere trickster. Yet Joaquin
Miller, about the same time, said in a lec
ture in Washington: "He shall live when
the dome of your Capitol no longer lifts its
rounded shoulders against the circles of
time."

Ukdkissed kids of a delicate pearl shade,

wide cravats, tied to not manifest the wear

Boutoxieiies of white flowers elaborately

men's wear.
Tub opera hat is a foreign renaissance
and a most praiseworthy one that tho
American fashionables are slow in taking
up. In London and Paris this feasible head
gear of evening wear is very pievalcnt.
There seems, by the way, to be a wide
range of taste in tho shapes of tho tall silk
hat. Somo very fashionable men aro wear

IfKW stylos in gloves como' out as the

There is a promise that somo new ideas in
underwear will be put on tho market, not in
fabric or make, but in the line of the open
front undorstiirt and tho iinder-knee-
brceclie, the success of which, will un
doubtedly be marked nom the.!' -'ginning.
It is said that there is a notir- .bio rush on
neckwear immediately after Christmas
which was unaccountable until it was dis
covcicd that the bujers wero of tho thou

them a scarf-pin, and as a result tliuy were
out looking for the best scarf to go with it.

The list of shirts for men's wear has Been
largely augmented during tho past few
j ears. It used to be the rule that the well-to-do
man bought each year a certain num
ber of white shirts. Xow there are "shirts
for day wear," "shirts lor night wear,"
"shirts for evening wear," "shirts for outing
wear" and "shirts for necllge wear. " And
these, you mind, all in a great variety of
styles.
The boutonnlera fad, which has reached its
zenith, has developed another tangent lu
decoration, undoubtedly suggested by tho
showy effect of the bunch of flowers In the
button-hole. " Recently a well-knownsociety
and club man of this town made a public
appearance wearing a miniature upon the
lapel of his dress coat. It was one of those
rare specimens about two inches in diameter,
jeprosentinc homo granddame of his lamily
more than luO years ago.
The trouserings that are expected in tho
"smooth" goods as the cassimeres and wor
sted are now designated will be enlivened
Bomowhat beyond those of last season, in
contradistinction to the general outlook of
quiotude. Tho stripes in herring bona will
ba wider, and tho blues that w ill prevail will
be bluer than heretofore, but not to an ex
tent, in tho boldest flights of the designer, to
come under tho category of loudness.
It would be a beneficent idea for tho advo
cates of tho long-tail frock coat if they
could think of some good name by which it
might bo distinguished from the Prince Al
bert It is really a decidedly different gar
ment, its character being changed by the
rouh-fjeed, pliable material used in its con
struction, the variety or colors in which It is
made, the usual finishing in silk to the edge
of the lapel and tne shoit-waisted, long-tail
effects.
The distinction between the shirts for day
wear and evening wear is one that belongs
to tne progressive spirit of the fashionable
times. There was wont to be no difference
betwixt the shirt worn in the day time mid
the shirt worn in the evening, mu e that the
bosom or the latter must be immaculate.
But it is readily appiient that the shirt lor
formal occasions where it is shown prom
inently should bo in a finer grade, with a
better and a wider bosom, than that of the
workaday honrs.
Theee were a variety of deviations upon
the lapel'and cellar of the dress coats." Ono
howling swell had a velvet notch collar with
c'regnl.ition lapel covered to the edge with
dull ribbed silk. Harry Lo Grand Uinnon
wore a step-lapel mid collar or dull-flnlsu
silk, the effect being quite chic In its dimen
sions, lesser than the usual cut. Indeed, tho
smaller lapel on the dress coat is to be the
rule. Then there were step-lapels of cloth,
withTelvot collars, and tho shawl collar of
d,nll ellk was dominantly worn.

WAsnrNGTON, Jan. 9. The location of
the Republican Convention at Minneapolis
is the first recognition of the Northwest in
national politics. It will be by no means
the last The baby States of the Union
have some of the strongest men of the
country. They come from a region which
has everything to develop strong men and
great'men. Their muscles and their spirits
are toughened by their continuous fight
with the elements that oppose the settle
ment of a new country. Their blizzard are
the strongest, their winters are the coldest
and their air is the purest of that of any
part of the United States, and their repre
sentative men have fought their way inch
by inch to fame. There is scarcely a man of
prominence In the Northwest in the Senate
who did not begin life a poor boy, and thero
is not one who has not been a bread-winner
all his life.
Senator Sawyer, of Wisconsin, worked on
his father's farm in New York until he was
17, and then bought his time of the old man
for 100 and started out to wAk for him
self. His father was a blacksmith and a
farmer and Philetus did day's ?abor, hauled
woocl and anything he could turn his hand
to for the next four years.
llo Paid Twelve Hundred for One.
He made enoi'gh to pay hia brother the
flOO which he had loaned him to buy his
time, and he made a very fair living besides.
He worked in New York ten years longer,
and in thi3 time saved 52,199. His brother
made him a present of 51 more, and with
this sum ot $2,200 he took his family aud
went to Wisconsin.
Out of his fortune he has enriched all his
relatives, and he made Ins brother a present
of 51,200 a tew years ago, telling him that
this was the legitimate interest on the f 1 he
had loaned him when he started to Wiscon
sin, and that he had made about 1,200 for
every one of the capital he had at that
time. A large part of Sawyer's fortune
came from his lumber investments.
Shortly after his arrival there irm a big
auction sale of pine lands. Sawyer had a
map of the district, and he figured out on
what quarters the best piue was. In many
cases three-quarters of a section would be
swamp and the other quarter would be the
finest of timber land.
Sawyer went to the sale with this map in
his mind and the first day he bid upon the
best pieces, but he found that a party of
New York men were banking en his knowl
edge of the lands and were bidding ajjainst
him. Whenever he wanted a particular
section, these men would run it tip heyond
his figures and take it. He had a reputa
tion for knowing the State and they were
relying upon his judgment.
How Ho Took iu the Ifrw Yorkers.
The second dav of the sale, Sawyer got
one of his friends to bid on the pieces of
land that he wanted and he himself bid up
only the poorer sections. The New York
men still followed him and every time he
made a bid they increased it by a few dol
lars better. The result was that Sawyer's
a;ent got his lands for a song and that these
New York men bought a great quantity of
swamp and marsh. The day after the sale
had closed they came around to call upon
Sawyer and asked him what he thought of
their purchase. He replied that they had
gotten two or three pieces of good land the
first day, but, as for that they had bought
during the rest of the week, they had bet
ter take a flatboat along if they wanted to
get at them.
The history of Senator Pettigrew shows
how they make men in the Northwest Pet
tigrew came lroin Wisconsin to .Dacota, lie
was born on a farm iu Vermont and at 6
years old was taken to Wisconsin, where his
parents engaged in farming. The family
was poor, and young Pettigrew worked his
way through a two-years' college course and
got his tuition for ringing the college bell
and doing other chores of that sort. When
he went to Dakota to make a fortune he
walked, and he traveled over a good part of
the state carrying a chain lor tne sur
veyors. .
Unlit His Own to; Cabin.
He built the log cabin in which he lived
at Sioux Falls, aud in the words of one of
his friends, seeing that the place was a good
one, he stuck in his toes and stayed there.
He engaged in surveying and the real estate
business, threw himself into the develop
ment of the Territory, and slowly but surely
amassed wealth. He is now but a little over
40 years of age, but he has an independent
income. He works, however, as hard as he
did when he was at college, and you see
plain, every-day common sense sticking out
all over mm. lie is tall, angular and loose
jointed. He weighs, I judge, about 150
pounds, and his long face, covered with a
thick brown beard, is more like- that of agood
country grocer or drvgoods merchant than
that of one of the la-de-dah members of the
Millionaires' Club. He dresses in business
clothes, wears a turnover collar and is" not
horrified when he looks down and finds that
the creases have come ont of the front of his
pantaloons and that the legs begin to bag at
the knees. He is known in Dakota as the
Pickerell Statesman, and he is considered
one of the sharpest and shrewdest men of
South Dakota. Some of his speculations
have been peculiarly fortunate.
A Itnco for Forty Thonsand.
He owned at one time the section upon
which the best part of the city of Sionx
Falls now stands, and he bought this with
the first ?1,000 that he had saved, having to
go 54,000 in debt for the balance. Shortly
after he had made the investment he found
that his title to the property was weak and
suit was brought against him to recover
three-fourths of the land. Matters were
so fixed that he could perfect his title by
going to Minneapolis and getting a man
there who had some claim to the land to
deed it over to him. He got this deed and
had just started for the Elation when he
learned that the other parties to the suit
were in town after the same deed. He found
before he left that they had gotten the deed,
too, and the first deed that was recorded at
Sioux Falls would be the one which would
hold.
Both parties were on the same train and
it was a question as to which would get to
the court house first Pettigrew saw his
rival get off end telegraph at the station
and he found that he had telegraphed ior a
team ot fast horses to meet him at the de
pot. He saw that his game was lost with
out he could checkmate his rival before he
reached Sioux Falls.
Fixed It Willi thn Engineer.
At the next water tank he got out and
slipped around to the locomotive and was
soon riding with the engineer. After a few
moments' conversation the engineer de
tached the locomotive Irom the tiain and it
steamed on ahead into Sioux Falls which
was three miles away, leaving the tram
with Pcttigren's rival in at the -water tank.
Ten minutes later the engine moved back
and a hull an hour after Pcttigrew's deed
was in the hands of the Eecorder, a carriage
dashed up to the court house and Pctti
grew's rival rushed in and sad that he
wanted a deed recorded immediately. The
Eecorder looked at the paper he handed
him and replied that he had just fin
ished recording a deed for that property to
Frank Pettigrew, and tlie-man knew he "was
beaten. Pettigrew, by that day's operation,
made 540,000 and this iormed the bssis of
his fortune.
Both of the Minnesota Senators ara self
made though Washburne comes of a noted
funily, and all of hi brother bar made
fortunes and fame. Old Israel Washburne,
of Maine, bad seven sons, and the cradle in
which the boys were rocked is kept in the
Norlands Library in Maine. It is made ot
pipe boards an inch thick, rudely dove
tailed together, and its solid pine rockers
are shaped like half moons. It is painted a
dark green and has been browned by age.
It has held four Congressmen and two Gov
ernors. Almost Ben I5ntler' Donble.
Senator Cush Davis, the other Minnesota
representative in the Upper House, is the
direct opposite ofWashburne. Senator Davis
looks like Ben Butler. He was taken for
Ben Butler's son not long ago when he and
Butler were stopping At the Fifth Avenue
Hotel together, and it is said that when he
was courtine his wife, with.whom it seems
he fell in love at almost the first sight, she
insisted that she had a photograph of him
taken when he was a soldier. He told her
that she must be mistaken, and asked to
see it She then brought out a locket in
which there was a photograph of Ben But
ler taken when he was in the army, and it
looked in fact very much like the picture
of Senator Davis as he is to-day. Senator
Davis was born in New York.
He went into the army as a private and
came out of it as a lieutenant and after the
war w as over he went to Minnesota to
practice law. He was Governor of the
State when he was 35 years ot age, and he
has had for years one of the biggest law
practices of the Northwest. His practice
is said to be worth from S20.000 to ?30,000 a
year, and he might be3 fich man if he cared
anything for the saving and accumulation
of money.
Is'apoleon Is nis nobby.
As it is he spends as fast as he makes, and
in 1881. when he withdrew from the firm of
Davis, O'Brien & Wilson, he was 520,000 in
debt Since that time he has paid off this
debt and has made enough to buy himself a
comfortable home and to make a little nest
egg for the future. I doubt, however,
whether he knows actually how much he is
worth and doubt whether" he cares. He is
a student and a lover of books more than a
lover of money. He speaks and reads two
or three languages and is to some extent a
hero-worshiper. One of the greatest men
who ever lived is to him Napoleon. He
reads everything he can get about Napoleon
and has a large collection of pictures of him.
He has 300 books relating to him and his
time, and he savs his collection will not be
complete until he can go to Europe and
pick up about 300 more.
Another man of culture among these
Northwest Senators is Senator Casey. He
is a farmer and has the management of a
hundred thousand acres of land or so in
Dakota. A self-made business man; he
talks several languages, has traveled widely
in Enropc and looks more like a New York
club man than a farm manager.
Two Fighters In the Senate.
The Northwest has two Senatorial fight
ers. These are men whose live3 have been
Bpent in the wildest parts of the frontier
and who have grown strong with fighting
among the Indians and the desperadoes. I
refer to Senator Georec Shoup, of Idaho,
and Senator Wilbur F. Sanders, of Mon
tana. Shoup is a tall, straight, broad
shouldered, blue-eved man. There is no
hair on the top of his head and he has not
even a scalp-loek. He lost his hair natur
ally, however, and he has had a number of
scrapes where he might have lost it from
the Indians. Born in the East, he started
out for Pike's Peak when he was 22 years
old, and during the war he was one of the
independent scouts of the Colorado volun
teers. A large part of his career during the
war was as a scout, and he has been con
nected with all the Indians and the desper
adoes of the West He is now at the head
of the Indian Affairs Committee, and he
has been Governor of Idaho and left the
executive chair to take his scat in the
Senate.
Senator Sanders is noted as having rid
Montana of the noted gang of ruffians which
overrnn the Northwest some years ago. He
was at the head of tho Vigilante", and he
has a number of times looked death in the
face.
A Itcvolver as nn Argument
At one time, when he was trying a case
in a Montana courtroom, the opposing coun
sel, who was sitting behind him, found fault
with the way he was questioning the wit
nesses and jerked out his revolver and said,
as he looked along its barrel at Sanders:
"If you put that question 'again to my wit
ness I will shoot you."
Young Sanders turned coollyaround, and,
looking into the ugly pistol barrel and over
it at the lawyer behind with a most con
temptuous smile, said: "It would be just
like you to shoot a man in the back."
He thereupon turned around and asked
the witness the same question over again,
and the counsel, strange to say, did not fire.
Had he done so the feeling against such a
cowardly act would have been surh that he
would have been surclv killed. Sanders is
one of the finest lawyers of the Northwest
He makes at least half the President's
yearly salary during the recesses of the
Senate at the law, aud he is raid to have
much of the snrcastic power of ex-Senator
Ingalls. He has been rather quiet in the
Senate so far, but during the coming session
he will probably make some speeches which
will astonish his fellow Senators.
KeepYonr Eyes on Them.
There are a fcore of other prominent men
from the Northwest at Washington. Every
one knows the reeord of William F. Vilas,
who, cold and clean-cut, is considered one of
the finest orators of the country, and who is
bound to make a great rcrjutation in Con
gress. Viias is in his prime. During his
whole 51 years he has never wasted a penny
either financially or intellectually, and he
has the accumulated savings of a lifetime to
use in his political and forensic struggles.
He will probably be a leader ot the Demo
cratic side of the chamber, and he is enough
of a politician to know that he has to take
care of his State and his section.
Thero is a large Norwegian element rep
resented bya number of Norsemen in the
Lower House of Congress which will in tima
make itself felt t
Both ot the Wyoming Senators are good
men aud Senator Carey is one of the finest
looking men in Congress. Warren has made
a fortune in the West and he is still under
CO. The prospects of young Dubois, of
Idaho, are good, and the same may be said
of his colleague, Senator Shoup. All told,
you will not find in Congress a set of men
who will average up better than these Sen
ators from the Northwest, and it will pay
the people of the United States to keep
their eyes on them.

A DIFFERENCE IN CHURCH DUTIES
rwniTTEI FOB THE DTSPATCH.1
As orthodoxy goes, nothing seems more
certain than that the heaven of the future
will be peopled with women by a very large
majority, while the great mass of men will
go to the other place. In his essay on
French women, Jules Simon makes it very
clear that Frenchmen hold.that religion is a
matter for women. France, he maintains,
remained a Christian country after the revo
lution, and since the establishment of the
republic, only through the women, who are
in that country the defenders and support
ers of the faith.
A constant effort is being made by those
in authority the Socialists, the politicians,
the philosophers to abolish all laws based
upon the union of Church and State, or, as
he puts it, "combining divine with human
legislation, or nnitmg earth with God."
To the furtherance of this end they are
taking the schools put of the hands of the
clergy, they are driving the chaplains out
of , the army, they are fofcing the Sisters of
Charity out of the hospitals. They are de
termined to have no God-in-the-Constitu-tion,
and to thoroughly break up the union
of Church and State.
Checked Only fcy th Women.
They, in short, go as far in this matter as
the women will allow them. If the good
sisters would let the men alone, we are
told, not a man would be married in church,
nor accept the bonds of marriage at the
hands of a clergyman. If the women did
not insist upon it there would be no relig
ious rites at funerals. In deference to the
women, men yield so far as the forms of re
ligion go. To preserve peace in the family
they dare not, says Simon, go too far in op
position to the Church. Louis Philippe, as
the story is told, in endeavoring to settle
one of the fights with the Jesuits, told his
Cabinet that he cared very little what was
done as long as they "did not get him into
hot water with his good Qneen."
From this picture of France, presented
by an able writer, it looks very much as if
the French heaven beyond the skies will
be given over mainly to the women, while
the fathers, husbands and sons will spend
the countless ages of eternity amid the
quenchless fires of hades. This scheme of
future happiness with the men mostly left
ont will hardly commend itself to the good
sisters who are fond of the beloved brethern
and desire their company, but if the condi
tion of things in France is such as repre
sented, it would seem as if there could he
no other orthodox or logical outcome.
Spanish Hen Will Bo Broiled, Too.
Another able writer on the subject of the
"Women of Spain," says that religion in
that country is largely confined to the
women. Men there, it is said, claim free
dom of choice. They are free thinkers, ma
terialists, skeptics, what they will, but they
insist upon it that their wives, sisters and
daughters must be pious and attend to all
of their religions duties regularly and
faithfully. The brethren there feel them
selves privileged by virtue of their superi
ority to break down the barriers of belief,
to throw off the restraints of religions duty.
to arrange their lives to suit themselves by
an "elastic moral svstcm
;ic moral svstcm" of their own
buttheideal woman of Spain to
devisinc
her countrymen is "pious, docile aud ignor
ant." During the last century is was considered
dangerous to permit a girl to learn to read
and write, on the score that if able to do so
she might peradventure correspond" with
a sweetheart A salutary ignorance,
absolute submission to father or
husband, devotion to the practices of re
lision, self sacrifice, self effacement were
considered the highest virtues of women.
If they could read, they were confined to
the prayer book and the catechism. This
was the "classic type" of the eighteenth
century, and the men of to-day, says the
writer," have not become resigned or recon
ciled to any change or evolution in women.
"Tne model wife of to-day is the same as
she was 100 years ago," notwithstanding the
changes of laws, manners and customs.
However radical a Spaniard may be him
self, however much he may have changed
with the temper of the times, however revo
lutionary in sentiment he hangs on de
terminedly to the old ideal woman who
must be ignorant, obedient and pious. Men
and not a few there are who have not
been to confession themselves for 30 years
would be greatly shocked :f their wives did
not faithfully attend to this bounden church
duty.
Men Aro Tricked Into Church.
Onlv women, says our writer, assist at
the religious exercises, such as "novenas"
and celebrations. While the women are
inside taking part in the services of the
church the men loaf around the' outside. To
such an extent have they abandoned the
'field of religion to women only says this
writer upon the women of Spain that the
clergy have invented a trick w hen they wish
to secure a male congregation. This is done
by announcing a lecture for men only, be
cause the subject, as to science, or morals,
or philosophy, is too profound for the
women to comprehend. Thus delicately flat
tered, and tickled by their vauity ot super
ior intelligence, the" men are inveigled into
church occasionally, and thus get a taste of
religious instruction.
But while men insist upon their wives
being pious, they do not want them too
much so, f-T many of them are jealous of
the influence of the clergy, and to this, cause
is owing much of the domestic infelicity of
Spain.
"Only two professions are open to women
in Spain that of tobacconist and queen."
To these have recently been added those of
telegraph and telephone clerks. The mid
dle class women, like those of France, have
an undying desire to be ladies, and an ambi
tion to do nothing at all in the way of mak
ing a living. Labor for money is by them
considered degrading and disgraceful. How
ever poor they may be, the daughters would
lose caste if they should go behind a coun
ter or engage in auy employment outside of
the home.
Hsrrlase the Pursuit in France.
Nothing is open to the girls of this class
but marriage, and if the "coming man" does
not appear their hopes lie dead and dire
misfortume marks them for her own. Jlar
riase beine the only pursuit open to them.
and with no aspiration beyond, the whole
family engage in the work of getting tho
girls off their hands. Meals are stinted,
and all manner of pinchin econo
mies are practiced in order that
thev may dress handsomelv and
ap'p'car at the opera, and co into society
iu such style.as will be3t aid them in secur
ing husbands. There seems to bo none of
the independence m-jnifested in this coun
try by women, who tnke as much pride and
pleasure in the excrciso of their talents as
dp men.
But to reach the end of their troubles in
marriage, it is a disadvantase for girls to
know much. Spaniards look with much
suspicion on any learning for women that
is not mainly a sham. A little smattering
of music and drawing and daubing, and
talking of French, to which their education
is largely confined, is all very well, but any
thing more is not desirable. Thus educated
it is hardly surprising that the V omen of
Spain are kept in submission, exhibit so
little energy imd display such narrowness
of mind. But as a small mark of progress
the author notes that while husbands still
prefer the old ignorant ideal in many ways,
7t that come 01 tnem are.Deglnnlng to
think that wives shonld know a-little of th
practical details of housekeeping at least
The Relation of 'Han and Wife.
But while the wife is expected to stay at
home and only go out to church, the stay-at-home
man is rather regarded with con
tempt. His days are given to business and
his evenings to his own amusements, in
which his wife has no share. For them to
appear upon'the street arm in arm in the
intimate habit of the English and Ameri
can people is considered very bad taste.
But while middle class women devote
their small minds and talents to an imita
tion of the nobility, and would think them
selves disgraced if they earned a salary,
the Spanish women of the lower classes are
condemned by poverty to labor of the hard
est kind. They till the fields, sow the crops
and cut the grass in additiontd their house
hold toil and nursing of children, but
there is no "howl" raised as to their
being out of their sphere. When women
desire places as bookkeepers or doctors, or
engage in any business on their own ac
count, even m this country they are told
that home is the place for women, and that
their sole business in life is to be wives
and mothers, but here as in Spain, when
they are forced by stern r.ec ssity to the
most laborious drudgery, there, is no moan
made over them as to usurping a man's
place. Poor women always have the tough
end of the row in Spain," and everywhere
else for that matter. "
Her 'Whole Training Is Bad.
By the author of this stud v of the "Women
of Spain" the faults and shortcomings of the
Spanish woman are imputed mainly
to the man, who models and gives
form to her character. She is trained to
his traditions and ideals. Marriage being
the one business held up for her ambition,
she is educated to suit the musculine views
and prejudices. Submission, obedience,
self-sacrifice are drammed into her by the
clergy as a duty. She is debarred from all
share in public affairs. All freedom of
thought for her i frowned upon. It would
be shocking and dreadful for her not to go
to church and be devoted to relieion. The
man claims freedom himself to be the wild
est radical, the most ardent Nihilist, the
reddest ot republicans and the most un
orthodox of Christians, while at the Eame
time he is unwilling that his wife should be
otherwise than superstitious, narrow
minded and pious.
This being the case here below, it becomes
evident that Spain is another country in
Europe where the women, being mainly
strictly orthodox in their belief, will find
"Jerusalem, the Golden, the Sweet and
Blessed Country," their home to all eter
nitv, while themen will be "walked off" to
endless fire and chains. Truly this picture
of the Snnnish heaven, as told of in "The
Spirit World," will be something wonder-
ivm to comempiaic wiiu lis luuuuua m
women and sparseness of men.
Women's Sphere in America.
That some American men are like unto
the Spaniards in their estimation and judg
ment of women cannot be denied. Many
well educated men have difficulty in get
ting rid of their prejudices in this respect.
Even some of the school princi
pals in this enlightened city of
Pittsburg cannot conceive how it
can be possible for a school, nnder charge of
a woman, to carry off the honors. For a
woman to manaze a school as well as a man
is to them something they cannot under
stand. Eatner than admit such a fact, they
prefer to "Doubt truth to be a liar." Then
there's Brother Bnckley. He cannot be
persuaded that the best Methodist woman
alive should be allowed to speak from the
pulpit He would not let Susanna Wesley
speak out in church if she were on earth to
day. Plenty of others too are to be found who,
like the Spaniards, are fain to hold on to
the ideal woman of a century ago. But
these grow less in number as every day goes
by. The one drawback or danger that may
be feared is that the hordes of ignorant that
are landed upon our shores in every ship
bring their prejudices with them. How
ever, with the pulpit of a free press, with

the awakened intelligence of women, and
diner in almost every man's soul such a con
dition of affairs as exists in Spain will ever
be out of the question of progress in Eng
land or America.
It is a matter of some moment perhaps to
those who puzzle themselves about the
"great herealter" to know how things are
to be conducted in heaven with not enough
men to go round. Will it be like the
church upon earth men in all the offices
whiie the great majority of women are mum
in the pews? One of the authorities on the
"spirit land" says that those who missed
their "kindred souls" upon earth will find
fhem in heaven. This seems a little
dubious under the circumstances as related.

The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.
Gentlemen: It is with great pleasure that I
write of the benefit derived from your
remedy, Pe-ru-na. My little boy, about
12 years old, has always been troubled
with catarrh! very bad several years, and I
had great fears of his going into consump
tion. He had a bad cough that I could not
check, and his head was in a terrible condi
tion. His head discharged so much foryears
that it was a charge on my mind to keep
him supplied with handkerchiefs. I had to
use every rag that I could get at hand. It
was astonishing how he could discharge so
mnch from his nose, I commenced to give
him Pe-ru-na about a month ago, and the
discbarge from his head is entirely stopped,
and also his cough. He now docs not have
to use a handkerchief at all. The Pe-ru-na
seems to act like magic in his case. Heel
as if I cannot find words to express my grat
itude for the medicine; but I do regret that
I never tried it before. I thought there
was no cure for him, and had given up try
ing to have him cured; but when I" saw the
disease ao thoroughly explained in the
paper by Dr. Hartman I thought I wottld
try his medicine. I never will be without
Pe-ru-na in the house, and I will recom
mend it to all my friends.

Used accordinz to the directions, Pe-ru-na
will secure the family against catarrh,
colds, coughs, pneumonia, pleurisy, bron
chitis and consumption. It is a fact of ever
iucreasing astonishment that so many other
wise sensible and provident people will, ior
the neglect of so simple a precaution as to
have a bottle of Pe-ru-na at hand, bring
.upon themselves the needless suffering and
foolish expense that a professional man is
forced to witness everyday.
A eold in the head, wnich a single bottle
of Pe-ru-na will cure, soon becomes a case
of chronic catarrh, which will require many
bottles to entirely cure. A sore throat,
which one bottle of Pe-ru-na will care, soon
becomes chronic pharyngitis or enlarced
tonsils, which will require many bottles.
A slight cough, which, without a vestige of
doubt, would soon disappear with theiise
of Pe-ru-na, becomes chronic bronchitis,
which will reqnirea persistent use of Pe-ru-na
for some time Every practicing
physician sees many cases of consumption
each year due directly to neglect of coughs,
colds, etc., which, if Pe-ru-na had been
kept in the house and used according to
directions, would have been prevented.
In no other department of domestic ar
rangements is there such stupendous disre
gard of the welfare of the family as in
guarding against the common ills of Hie by
the use ol efl'ecti.c and reliable family
remedies. If the following advice could
reach every household in the land, and with
such eloquence as to win obedience, it
would convey a blessing to each of a value
that would be difficult to exaggerate. The
advice is this: Get a bottle of Pe-ru-na,
lead the instructions on the bottle until
thev are thoroughly understood, do exactly
as they direct, and no catarrh,, cold, cough,
sore throat, bronchitis, plurisy, pneumonia,
or any other climatio disease will disturb
the peace of the household so long as this
is continued. To have this remedy- at hand
before the attack comes, to become intelli
gent as to its use, is only the most common
foresight used ia all othpr departments of
ordinary business.

AEBITEATI0H WITH CHUS.
We Had Trouble Once Before and the King
of Belglam Settled It.
"It would be no cause for surprise, said
a Government official in New York, the
other day, "if the questions pending be
tween the United States and Chile should
be submitted to arbitrators and thus ad
justed satisfactorily. This course has a
precedent as to the two Governments. The
'Macedonia Claims,' as they were called,
were thus settled over 30 years ago. These
claims grew out of the seizure of a lot of
silver on the order of Admiral Cochrane, of
the Chilean navy in 1821. The silver was
on board a merchant ship and was the
property of citizens of the United States.
This Government demanded indemnity,
which was refused, for reasons I now do not
remember. There was a long diplomatic
controversy. In those days the communi
cation was slow. At any rate it was not
until 1853 that the two contesting Govern
ments got together.
They finally agreed to submit the facts of
the case, with the necessary briefs, to the
King of Belgium as arbitrator. This con
vention was ratified by both countries and
was proclaimed by ourGovernment'in 1859.
The matter in dispute was thus disposed of
in a sensible way without a resort to arms.
Arbitration has since then been accepted by
all civilized nations as a perfectly fair and.
honorabte means of maintaining national
dignity and individual rights and there is
no reason whv it should not be applied in
this case. There is no reasonable excuse
for war between nations honestly entertain
ing a mutual desire for peace."
