KEEDIIA1I WIN'S A L1TELI BATTLE
-crKCtAL TILEGnAJT TO THE DISPATClt.t
New York, March L The first meeting
of the National League and American As
sociation of professional baseball clubs,
began to-day at the Fifth AvenueHotel.
The rival League amLAssociation magnate,
who less than a year ago were clutching
each others throats, elasped hands cordially.
National agreement committee, John L
Rogers, Zach Phelps and N. E. Young
went into session early in the morn
ing and did not finish till late
in the evening. The committee had
taken the old National agreement and the
Rosers plan as a basis to work upon, and
some radical changes were made. The
minors will be charged for protection to
players at the rate of 5150 for clubs in Class
A, composed of the Western League and
Eastern Association, anil 575 for clubs of
Class B, composed of all other mino oigan
izations. In regard to the drafting privilege,
the proposal is to give the major League
the privilege of drafting fiom tucmiuors
during a period between October 1 and Feb
ruary 1. In Class A the drafting is placed
at 51,000, aud 5503 for Class B clubs. The
minor leagues have the right of presenting
a reserve list on or before October 1. ,
Instead of a boud as formerly, each
league will be compelled to furnish a writ
ten agreement that it will liye up to all the
obligations of the asreement. It was 8:30
o'clock when the League went into its first
formal session.
The meeting was a short one, and ad
journed at 11 o'clock until 2 o'clock to
morrow afternoon. The only business
transacted was the appointment oi a Com
mittee ot five, consisting of Messrs. Byrne,
Day, EJliott, Stueky and Howe, to go over
the national agreement a completed by the
original committee and put it in shape for
presentation at the League meeting to-morrow.
Colonel Rogers was careful to explain
that tbfis move was in no way antagonistic
to the new agreement.
The Richardson matter was brought up by
President Day, and a warm discussion fol
lowed, but the preponderance of sentiment
favored sustaining the action of the Com
mittee on players.

THE DEVICES OF
HATUEE.
How Eome Mechanical Ideas Are Applied
, Without Mtan's Ma.
Most of tbe skillful devices invented by
men for doing fine work rapidly can be
traced to nature, where for countless ages
they have been operating. The discoverer of
each new appliance of mechanism might be
shown that his idea was as old as the hills.
It is suggested that the inventors of the
future will be those 'who carefully study
the natural world. The stones of the mills
are another style of tbe molar tepth, which
grind all the grist that feed men and
beasts. The hoofs of horses are
made of parallel plates like carriage
springs. The finest file of human manu
facture Fs a rough affair compared with the
Dutch rush used by cabinet makers. The
jaws of the tortoise and turtle are natural
scissors. The squirrel carries chisels in his
xnputh, and the hippopotamus is provided
with adzes, which are constantly sharpened
as they are worn. The carpenter's plane is
found in tbe jaws of the bee. The wood
pecker has a powerful little trip-hammer.
The diving bell imitates the water spider,
which constructs a 'small cell under the
water, clasps a bubble of air between its
hind legs, and dives down to its submarine
chamber with the bubble, displacing the
water gradually, until its abode with fishes
contains a large airy room surrounded by
water. In leaving its eggs on the water the
gnat fastens them'into the shaoe of a life-
'boat, which it is impossible to sink without
tearing it to pieces.
The iron mast of a modern ship is
strengthened by deep ribs running along its
interior. A porcupine's quill is strength
ened by similar ribs. When engineers
found that hollow pillars were stronger
than solid ones they only discovered a prin
ciple that is very commonly seen in nature.
A wheat straw, if solid, could not support
us neao ot gram. The bones ot higher ani
mals are porous; those of birds, where light
ness and strength are most beautifully com
bined, are hollow. The framework of a
ship resembles the skeleton of a herring.
Aeronauts try to copy the structure and
movement of birds. The shipworm is an
admirable tunneler, boring his way through
any submerged timber and lining the round
passage with a hard casing. The engineer
Brunei took a hint from this animal, and
was the first to succeed in tunneling under
water.
THE LI0H AESEB DEATH
Lies Down efore the Eire and His Ekln
Slakes Snperb Kug,
The most superb of for rugs are made
from the skin of the lion. When the lion
is five years old his mane has attained its
full growth, and he is then ready to be sac
rificed at the altar of civilization. Next in
beauty comes the tiger. The graceful, cat
like neck and sleek, glossy skin make a
truly effective rug indeed, niany prefer it
to the lion skin. The bears, and especially
the grizzlies, are very popular. The white
polar bear is arranged in a very realistic
manner, with his great mouth open and
formidable claws projecting grimly from
the soft fur. All these animals are dis-
E laved with one-quarter, one-half and full
eads that is, raised and stuffed in these
shapes. The last style is the handsomest,
of course, and the most desirable rags are
tha-animal shapes with the head arranged
as in life.
However, there are many other rich rugs
made of the skins in oblong shapes, and
these are, in many cases, to be preferred,
for one of the heads placed by a door or in
the center of a room, is likelyto prove a
general stumbling block. Very effective
rugs are made of the white Iceland sheep
the hair is long and fluffy, and perfectly
white. Black sheepskin rugs are also seen,
some being made of the genuine black Ice
land sheep, while others are dyed. Bugs
of brown bearskin bordered with black, or
black bear edged with gray wolf, or white
bear trimmed with black, and of bearskin,
wholly of one color are much liked, and
their long hair gives a room a wonderful air
of comfort. The skin ot the axis deer is of
a tawny brown color, showing white spots,
and is not long-haired, but very smooth; it
is bordered in colored wool seal, making a
rag that is especially suitable for a bath
room, since neither of the pelts is affected
by water.
THE BED HE W0BE
Was All on His Head, bat He Was Not
Ashamed to Own TJp.
Mrs. Van Wagonner, while on her recent
supervising visits to all the Pittsburg
schools to note the progress of drawing,
was catechizing the scholars of an East End
room on their ability to distinguish color.
Said she: "All stand who wear red to-day."
A number arose, among them a boy on
whom the lady could not notice anything of
carmine tint. So she asked: "What do
yon wear that is red, little boy?"
And his answer shows that there is one
youngster not ashamed of his Titian-dyed
locks, for he replied unflinchingly: "My
hair is red."
Eis hair did surpass in color any of
Titian's famed beauties.
LUCKET IN A C0TJHTBY SCHOOL.
How Twin Girls Managed to Keep Him
From Distinguishing Them.
Superintendent Lacker tells a good story
about his experience as a country school
teacher. He bad in his school twin sisters,
who were as like each other as the proverb
ial two peas in a pod. One day one of the
barefoot twins stubbed her toe and black
ened it On inquiry Mr. Luckev found it
was Mary. ""Well,''' said he, "Mary, as
long as your toe is black I will know you."
But that afternoon there were two black
ened toes, for Mary's sister had blackened
her toe with stove polish, and for that
afternoon the old trouble of distinguishing
them continued.

BAEBILLAS SCHEMIKG
To Get Ont or Guatemala With the Wortant
II Has Amassed There.
Saw Fraucisco, March L The steamer City
of Panama arrived from Panama and way
ports to-day. At latest accounts Barrillas,
the defeated Presldental candidate of Guate
mala, was endeavoring to Ket out or the
country with the fortune he bad amassed
since he has been in office. Lienflesta was
elected to the Presidency, but
when the stenmer lett Guatemala
he had not yet taken his seat, and
it is thought ho may never rule over the
destinies of the country. One of the candi
dates for the Presidency was young Barrios,
and Barrillas, it is stated, is doing every
thing in his power to conciliate him. Bar
rillas had promised Barrios the support of
his troops on condition that Barrios will see
him safely out of the country. If Barrios
attempts to take office, serious trouble is
looked for.
