A BLOW TO HEELERS
In the Form of a Bill That Is to Be
Presented To-Day in Congress.
POLITICAL INFLUENCE EXCLUDED
In the Employment of the Laborers in
Uncle Sam's Service.
THE SILVER STRUGGLE NOW AT HAND
"Washington, March 20. Ecpresenta
, Andrew, of Boston, has completed the re
port upon his bill "to exclude political in
fluence in the employment of laborers un
der authority of the United States," and
will submit it to the House to-morrow. The
bill, according to the reports he has re
ceived, will affect some 21,000 employes,
and will require that henceforth they shall
be appointed and employed without regard
to political consideration. The report cor
rects a misapprehension which, it is said, is
held by some armv and navy officials, that
the system contemplated by the bill will re
quire certifications through the Civil Ser
t, ice Commission. The only purpose of the
legislation, Mr. Andrews, points out, is to
compel the appointment of properly quali
fied men in the order of their application,
and this purpose can only be carried out by
the officers authorized to give the employ
ment, without any cumbersome machinery.
Mr. Andrew gives a table, compiled trom
lecent statistics, showing that the official
force of the Government in the Executive
Departments is 173,700, and that of this
number only 30,726 are actually subject to
competitive examination. The report con
tinues: I'roTislons of Mr. Andrew's Bill.
The bill reported proposes a wide exten
sion of the non-partisan system, by a much
simpler method and at much less cost than
the examinations which have already Deen
made. It is not moposed to require com
petitive examinations or laborers, nor sub
ject them to any scholastic tests. The fram
ing of the rules by winch they are to be ap
pointed or employed is at the wise discre
tion or the Civil Service Commission, but it
is intended that these rules shall simply pro
vide for proper evidence of the physical
fitness and coodcharacter of applicants. All
that is to be required beyond tills is the reg
istration of applicants in the order of their
applications, and this will i equire, under a
proper system of rules, no more labor on the
pan or officers in charge or public works
und in the various departments than Is now
required to file applications or to make out
lists or employes.
The labor imposed upon appointing offi
cers ousht to be even "less than at present,
when the new system comes to be thor
oughly understood, because such officers
will be relieved from the pressure of out
side parties, and will have nothing to do
but make appointments in the order of ap
plications. It is left by the bill within the
discretion of the Civil Service Commission,
with the approval of the President, to pro
vide tests tor technical skill where it is re
quired, but these tests may be as simple
and as practicable as they would be under
any conscientious and intelligent appoint
ing officer. The commission is also author
ized to permit employment without any
k stem of registration, and at the discretion
of the employing officers where the exi
gencies of the service seem to acquire it
The System Simple and Practicable.
The simplicity of this system makes it
practicable to extend it to a much larger
number of men, at smallv expense, than the
system ot competitive examination could
readily be extended to.
The statement showing the number which
will probably be atiected by the proposed
bill gives 3,063 in the Treasury Department,
10.127 in the "War Department, 6,128 in the
Navy Department, and a total, including
the other departments, of 21.188.
Mr. Andrew states that the method pro
posed of excluding political influence from
the employment of laborers is notan untried
experiment, and he quotes the system in
augurated by Secretary Tracy, in the navy
yards, and in lorce in the cities
ol Massahusetts for the past seven
vears, in proof of this statement.
There are obvious advantages, Mr. Andrew
argues, in establishing by the law under the
protection of the Civil Service Commission
and applicable to all the departments, a
system of non-partisan appointments which
has already proved so efficient in improving
the service in the municipal work of the
cities of Massachusests and the navy yards
ol the TJnked States. The system should
be established by law to protect officials
themselves from importunity to overturn
or evade it. It should be established under
the protection of the Civil Service Commis
sion, in order that the commission may
apply the same ceneral system of rules to
laborers under different departments, and,
wheie the conditions are the same, make as
nearly uniform as may be practicable the
manner ol applications and the terms ot
employment.
A Glow at the Political iJeeler.
Mr. Andrews declares, in conclusion, that
the bill proposes to take away from un
scrupulous politicians the opportunity to
dUert public funds to personal and party
ues by employing public servants as per
sonal and party tools. It proposes to re
lieve the people, when they go to the polls
to express their judgment upon public
questions, from the interference of thou
sands of employes paid lor by taxes upon
all the people, but employed and directed
a the tools of a faction or party. It pro
posps to thus increase the efficiency of the
public service, raise the standard ot Ameri
can politics and place all the workingmen
ol the United States upon an equality in
seeking the public service by the simplest
methods and at a profit to the Government
resulting from bfttcr scrvic" and better
work, rather than at the cost of needless
machinery and new expenditures.
GEN. M ILES AIHS HIS VIEWS.
lie Speaks Very Highly of the Army and
the National Guard.
"Washington-, March 20 General Nel
son A. Miles, in an interview, speaking of
the army, navy and National Guard, to-day,
said: "In proportion to our wealth and
population the army has been reduced to
the extreme minimum. It is small, but it
is most efficient. In intelligence, courage
and patriotism it will compare favorably
with any military force in the world. The
tame may be said of the National Guard.
A more intelligent and patriotic body of
men does not stand on the face of the
globe under any colors. Yet in order
to have them properly equipped and
properly prepared.so that they maybe one of
the pillars of strenirth upon which this
great Kcpublic rests, one ottwo things must
be done either the press of the country
must tell the plain truth and educate the
public reind up to our real condition and
necessities, or wc must meet some disaster
that may check our progress and burden us
w.th a national debt that would last lor an
other generation.
'There is some danger in our geographi
cal greatness. Our population may soon be
to large that people of the interior will be
come "indifierent to the interests of those
living on the frontier, and those who dwell
on the lrontier become careless as to the
weltare of Ihose who inhabit the interior.
Too much is expected of our navy. It is al
most ludicrous to think of holding the navy
responsible for 4.000 miles of frontier, occu
pied by 10,000,000 people, the possessors of
one-twelfth of the country's wealth."
THE SILVER STRUGGLE AT HAND.
Several Days or This "Week to B Glvwn Vp
to Its Discussion.
"Washington, March 20. The proceed
ings in the House, during the coming week,
will be more than usually interesting, as it
has made the Bland silver bill a special or
der for three days, beginning11 Tuesday. A
great many members desire to speak oa the
silver question, and an effort has been made
to reach an agreement between the friends
and opponents of tree coinage to provide
that the debate and consideration of the bill
by paragraphs shall run ,the whole ot the
Week. No understanding has yet been
reached however, as the silver men want
(he-agreement to include a stipulation that
a vote shall be taken at the end of the.week
withont indulgence in filibustering tactics
but the anti-free coinage Democratsare not,
os a body, willing to" bind themselves in
this particular.
Nearly all. the time of the Senate,
during "the open session this week, is al
ready practically allotted. The Indian
appropriation bill is to be taken up to-mor-'
row. "The West Virginia direct tax bill is
the special order tor Tuesday, and the
Senate has resolved that immediately after
this bill is disposed of, it will consider two
bills of much public interest, namely, the
Mississippi river and Columbia river im
provement bills, involving an aggregate ap
propriation of about $18,000,000, to be ex
pended in the improvement of these great
waterways. The most interesting proceed
ings of tfie Senate, however, are expected to
occur in executive session, as was the case
last week. The Bering Sea arbitration is
pending, and action upon it will doubtless
be taken as soon as possible after the re
ception of Lord Salisbury's response to Mr.
"Wharton's last note.
THE GEEAT NAVAL EEVIEW
That Is to Be a Feature ot the Qnadro-Cen-tennial,
Next Tear.
"Washington, March 20. One of the
appropriate features of the quadro-centen-nial
celebration in honor of the discovery of
America and the achievements of Columbus,
the navigator, is the proposed grand review
of the navies of the world in Hampton
Boads and New York harbor. The promo
tion of this review has for several reasons
been neglected. The exposition manage
ment have considered it outside their juris
diction, and Congress has thus far failed to
appropriate any money to pay the ex
penses incident to such a review.
To remedy this defect and put into run
ning order a movement of such interest and
importance to the whole Atlantic seaboard,
acitizens' committee, called a ''board ot a
promotion," has been organized in this city.
The President of the Board is Hon. J. L.M.
Curry, late Envoy Extraordinary and Min
ister Plenipotentiary of the United States
at Madrid. In an interview to-night Mr.
Anderson, the author of the review move
ment, related a number of interesting facts
pertaining to the plan and scope of this pro
posed review. The exercises at the review
will be underthe auspices to theGovernment.
The work of the Board will end when it has
secured the co-operation of the Boards of
Trade and cities of the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts and necessary legislation by Con
gress. A WRECK AT GREENSBURG.
Many Cattle and 200 Hoes Killed The
Total Loss Amounts to Abont 8100,000
An Italian linn Down and Killed Just
Before the Accident.
Grees-sbukg, March 20. Special' The
most disastrous freight wreck that has ever
occurred on the Pittsburg division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, happened one mile
east of here this morning, about 5 o'clock.
An eastbound train ot empties running
20 miles an hour was stranded by a broken
brake, two of its cars being thrown over on
the south track. An eastbound through
freight an instant later dashed into the
wrecked cars, aud 18 cars heavily laden with
cattle, hogs aud merchandise, were hurled
over a 20-foot embankment.
There were in the lot about 500 hogs, and
at least 200 of them were killed. Two of
the cars were also loaded with cattle, and
more than a score were killed outright,
while several others had to be shot. Both
engines were wrecked. Cars were broken
into splinters, while merchandise was scat
tered far and wide. The engineer and fire
man of the eastbound freight jumped be
fore the collision occurred. Their engine
went down the embankment, and the cab
was filled with the carcasses of hogs.
Just before the eastbound train dashed
into the wreckage, an unknown Italian
walking on the track was struck by the
engine and crushed to death. The live
stock was owned by a man named Burrows,
of Ohio, and was consigned to the New
York market. The total loss to stock,
merchandise, cars and engines will not be
less than 5100,000. Trainmen say no one
can be blamed for the accident.
AN 0LE0 PEDDLER BESIEGED.
Uncle Sam's Minions Break Open His Shop
and Seize His Staff.
Steubenviile, March 20. Saturday
evening Deputy Revenue Collector Dean
attempted to seize five tubs of butterine in
the store of Jacob Malinski, a Bussian
Hebrew peddler. The law makes it illegal
to peddle oleomargarine and the wily Ma
linski had been peddling it under his
license.
"When the collector went up after the
tubs of the "oleo" he found the door barri
caded and locked. Malinski, who saw him
coming, refused to open the door, and Dean
was compelled to call several officers to his
aid. Malinski will be arrested to-morrow.
This is his second offense.

A TALK WITH THE GENIAL CAPTAIN
rraOM X STAFF CORRISFONDK1TT.1
Newark, N. J., March 20. The hand of
welcome usually extended a Pittsburg trav
eler is withheld iu the city of Newark.
There is a feeling of distrust, many a look
of suspicion when a stranger from the Iron
City first comes into this place, and, unless
the unfortunate man is not spoken to at all,
he will first be asked, "Are you a relative
of Captain "Wishart?" If Pittsburg had
dumped the entire criminal population at
Riverside in Newark's City Hall, or had by
magic power removed its cloud of
smoke to the clear sky over the New
ark park in which General Kearney's
statue stands, it wonld not have
received more words of abuse than when it
gave the passport to. Captain "Wishart
which led to his becoming a resident ot this
city. The training the ex-Law and Order
agent received in enforcing Pennsylvania's
Blue Laws is the weapon he is using to bring
about a Newark Puritanical Sabbath. His
love for law still exists, and he is paid the
same price for it that he was in Tittsburg.
He has nearly' the same statute to operate
under, but he hasn't a Eohe to help him
and in that fact "Wishart has found his
Waterloo. Since he came here he has made
many a bluff, wrote communications galore,
brought himself into public notice, but
nothing more. He has drawn his salary,
but as yet he has done nothing to earn it
He has at last found that "Wishart is not in
a majority.
"When Captain "Wishart came to Newark
about six months ago it was with the state
ment that Pittsburg had become his ideal,
and he wanted more worlds to conquer.
Newark offered an inviting field. There
isn't a saloon in town that doesn't keep
open seven days in the week and 24 hours a
day. To close the cigar stores would1 raise
a greater cry of indignation than to
barricade the church doors. It might
be possible to stop the selling of
soda water because people want some
thing stronger, but outside of this
the reforms "Wishart dreams of havonot yet
become a consideration by any except the
very lew who compose the Law and Order
Society. "Wishhrt's attempt to makeNewark
a second Pittsburg is as near realization as
it would be for a solitary Gatling gun to
capture Gibraltar, but it the Gatling gun
were to be paid for making a noise it would
probably continue forever. So will "Wishart.
Few Friends and Lots of Knemies.
His official title, as indicated by his card,
is "Executive Officer of the Law and Order
League, of Newark." He has an office
down town on which Law and Order are
painted iu big red letters. He has a few
friends and an army of enemies. Among
the latter are the entire police force, the
Board of Police Commissioners, the Board
of Excise, the Mayor, the Prosecutor of the
Pleas, the last Grand Jury, the People.
"When "Wishart came here he wanted to be
a special officer and get a badge. He made
known the desire of his heart to the Board
of Police Commissioners, who naturally
asked for recommendations. "Wishart had
them. He produced a letter from
Rev. Mr. McCrory, another from one Hous
ton, aud several more from persons who are
probably well known in Pittsburg, but
whose names have never crossed the State
line. The Board of Police Commissioners
is composed of five every-day kind of prac
tical men, who weren't used to having Sun
day called Sabbath and looked upon "Wishart
with suspicion. They advised delay, and in
the meantime directed the clerk to get some
further information with regard to
the applicant. Superintendent of Po
lice Roger O'Mara was asked for a
recommendation and very kindlv sent one.
It wasn't exactly to "Wishart's liking. It
called him a fanatic and advised hands off.
"Wishart was shown the "recommendation,"
aud in his peculiarly fiery way denounced
O'Mara in language as strong as a Law and
Order man could consistently use. He said
the Pittsburg police were prompted by
spite to condemn him, and that O'Mara
in particular had an object of revenge. His
speech before the Police Commissioners was
both pathetic and oratorical, but it
failed in its object. Unlike those of
"Wishart, 'McCrory and Houston, the name
of O'Mara was well known across the State
line and in such a way that it carried weight
sufficient to block "Wishart's first game. It
wasn't considered prudent to absolutely re
fuse the latter's request, so it was laid on
the table. It is still on the table and will
stay there until "Wishart is too old for duty.
Wishart's First Bound-Up.
The next move of the Captain was to go
out on a Sunday "round-up." He toot a
detective and a note book with
him. The lormer was to corroborate
his evidence and the latter to
keep his expense account and refresh his
memory. The first day he was out he visit
ed over a score of places. It was supposed
that he took a drink at each one, and yet
there is no evidence that he got a "jag on. "
He was after information against violators
of the excise law, and by skillful work suc
ceeded in getting it. The work was neces
sarily skillful. It required opening a door,
producing money and calling for just what
he wanted. There was no trouble
in getting it, and after the first Sun
day's work "Wishart could undoubtedly
feel easy in the belief that he had earned
his salary. The next day he had the in
formation he bad secured neatly type
written and sent copies to the Board of
Police Commissioners, the Board of Excise,
the City Attorney and the Mayor. All
the communications were received" as curios
ities and then filed away on shelves that
haven't been dusted since before the war.
The only attention paid to them was by
Mayor Haines, who wanted to know who
that stranger was that had presumed to
dictate what the police of Newark should
do. "Why hejsn't a citizen yet," said the
Mayor in disgust "I must know who he is
before I pay any attention to what he says."
The Mayor has not yet been told who
"Wishart is, and true to his declaration he
has not paid any attention to the Law and
Order man's communication.
To the Grand Jury and Out.
The next effort of the Captain's was he
fore the grand jury. He was given a very
cold welcome by Prosecutor of the Pleas
Crane, but "Wishart is not used to any other
kind of a welcome, and appeared
with his usual blufE He had
the same information that he
sent to the Police Commissioners, the Ex
cise Board and the Mayor, and was willing,
hedeclared, to back his statements up with
evidence. The grand jury is supposed to
do all its business secretly, but in some
mysterious way it was allowed to become
known by the' police officials that' "Wishart
had gone out on a new line. The police
officials in turn gave their information to
the saloon keepers, aud the next Suuday,
while it was possible to get a drink, it was
a little bit harder than usual to do so. The
grand j ury had in the meantime told Wishart
that on that particular Sunday they would
make a personal investigation of the saloons
that were accused with violating the law.
The investigation was made, there was no
evidence fourid, and Wishart was given to
understand that nothing more would be
done. . ,
Since then the Pittsburg hero has been
trying to reconcile himself to defeat. He
has a Blue Law to back him of about the
same date, and if anything a little more
strict in Pennsylvania, '"but he
hasn't an alderman with the
authority to convict summarily, and with
out that right he is like a man in the deep
blue sea when some other fellow has stolen
hit life preserver. There are no aldermen

PITTSBURG DISPATCH.
is a similar office to a notary of the public
in Pennsylvania. A police justice could
fake Wishart's cases, but, as in Pittsburg,
there are only five of them, and there is no
more likelihood that Wishart's cases will
be received by them than there would be that
Judge Gripp would give McCIure a chance to
bring suit against a Sunday newspaper.
Even if Wishart should succeed in getting
a police justice to take his cases, they
would stilt go to ajuryon appeal, and if any
Law and Order man imagines a Newark
jury would convict a man for selling on
Sunday all that is necessary to remove
that idea is to listen half-an hour to curb
stone talk about Captain Wishart. The
Newark newspapers have made him almost
as well known as in Pittsburg, and it is not
the least exaggeration to say that his work
is as generally disapproved.
Benrdinz the Lion in His Lair.
The Captain's Home is a few rods from
Lthe city line, just beyond a cemetery from
the business part ot town, xne place is
reached by a horse car line on which the
horses go" so slow they have to be given
water three times in making the trip. The
house in which he lives is as small as the
Law and Order League Jin Pittsburg.
When I went to see him to-day,
Mr. Wishart answered the doorbell him
self. He has the same appearance he had
when prosecuting soda water dealers in
Pittsburg. It would be impossible to tell
that he is nearly a year older. His neck is
just as long, his mustache has the peculiar
droop and his nose the exact Roman curve
as when I first saw him in an alderman's
office when he appearod as prosecutor of a
Southside woman who had sold a milk
shake to a characteristic Law and Order
detective. There was a blank look on the
Captain's face when he was told that Pitts
burg people want to know what he is doing
in Newark.
"Of course, you know the good work Mr.
McCIure is doing in suppressing the sale of
Sunday newspapers," I suggested.
"It's a noble work," he replied. "I had
hoped to do it myself, but I was called to
another field."
"And how are you getting along here?"
"Well, that's none of the public's busi
ness,'' answered the Captain, suddenly
dropping his first effort to be unnaturally
pleasant. "I haven't been here long enough
to do much, he continued somewhat
civilly.
"How do you and the police get along?"
"None of your . I have no quarrel with
the police, and you can't pull me .into one."
"I understand the police have refused to
grant vou a special license?"
"Ask the police."
"Well, Captain, how do you like Newark
in caparison with Pittsburg?"
"I haven't been here long enouzh to find
out."
Hit Him in the Right Spot.
"How are the laws in New Jersey?"
The question pleased him. Wishart
would sooner talkof Blue Laws than read
a Sunday newspaper Monday afternoon, and
for over half an hour he explained the fea
tures of the law under which he hoped to
operate. He did not, however, mention the
fact that there is no provision for summary
conviction for violation of the Sunday law.
A man doesn't like to mention the princi
pal stumbling block to his success and
Wishart is no exception to the rule. He
said he was determined to enforce the law.
"And do you think you will be success
ful?" "Was I successful, in Pittsburg?" he
questioned in reply, with a smile that car
ried with it the evidence ot determination.
"Do you expect to enforce the Sunday
law with tegard to worldly enjoyment out
side of selling liquor?"
"I expect to enforce the entire law."
"And how are you going to do it?"
"That will be made known later on."
Captain Wishart's mistake when he came
to this town was iu letting it become known
that he was going to try and give Newark
the same puritanical Sabbath he had estab
lished in Pittsburg. If he had attacked the
Sunday saloons alone, he would have had
many friends on his side, but Newark is not
prepared to go into oblivion one dav in the
week, and there are only a handful who
have come out openly on the Captain's side.
City, officials, newspapers and all men of
prominence are against him.

IT'S SURE TO BE A GO.
Priddy Agrees to Jordan's Terms and
Signs Articles.
THEY WILL EON IN PITTSBURG.
Eastern Gossip Abont the Approaching Sub
urban Handicap.
MOBE ABOUT BULLIYAN AND C0KBETT
It is now certain that Peter Priddy, of
this city, and Joseph Jordan, of Chicago,
will run a three mile race in this city. The
Chicago man sent word to the sporting edi
tor of this paper Saturday that he would
run Priddy in Pittsburg, and take $50 ex
penses and the receipts to be divided into
70 and 30 per cent respectively. Priddy
was seen and questioned on the matter,
and was quite willing to agree to Jordan's
demand. Consequently the following ar
ticles of agreement will be forwarded to Jor
dau to-day, accompanied by a forfeit of f50:
Articles of asreement entered Into this
day, March 21, 1892, between. Peter Priddy, of
Pittsburg, and Joseph Jordan, of Chicago, to
run a foot race of three miles at Recreation
Park, Pittsbursr, Pa., on Jlay U. 1S92, for $250
a side and the gate receipts.
The winner of the race to take all the
stake money and 70 per cent of the receipts,
and tho loser to get 30 per cent of the re-
ceipts.
Ea
ach party now puts up $50 with the Ciii-tM
caro lieraia, wnicn snail Do ttnal staKenoia
er. A second deposit of $100 to bo put up
with the stakeholder on April 1G, 1692. and
the final deposit to be made one week before
the race.
l'eter Priddy agrees to nay Joseph Jordan
$50 expenses to run In Pittsburg, said $50 to
be paid when Jordan arrives on the ground
to run.
The referee to be chosen on the track on
the day of race, and if the contending par
ties cannot agree on one, Jordan to choose
any sporting editor in Pittsburg to act. Tho
roleiee's decision shall be final, and he shall
act ns starter.
All expenses for grounds and advertising
to be paid out of the receipts.
Either party failing to comply with the
foregoing articles to forfeit all money up.
Signed. Petek Priddy.
Jordan states that he will sign the articles
as soon as he receives them, so that the race
is assured. The Chicago man is a complete
stranger to Priddy, and to almost all Pitts
burgers. Many people have been confound
ing him with Jordan, the amateur of the
New York Athletic Club. But the amateur's
name is A. A. Jordan, and he was a short
distance hurdle runner. But, whoever the
Chicago man may be, Priddy will make
him run. The latter starts training to-day,
and he is confident of getting into first-class
condition.
COBBETT AND SULLIVAN.
Interesting Opinions About Them by a
Good Local Authority.
A well-known local patron of pugilism and
pugilists sends the following to this paper re
garding the proposed battlo between Sulli
van and Coibett:
"Corbett is a clever coward. He proved it
when he met Peter Jackson. The latter had
only one leg and was unable to go after Cor
bett. The affair was so tame that the men
were hissed, and to this Jackson replied: 'I
am unable to catch him on one leg: let
him come up and make me fight.' Corbett
veplied: 'Come after me and mnke me fight.'
Such an expression never came from the
lips of a game man. Homage to the recol
lection of. the courage of the dauntless
Collyer, the unparalleled Billy Edwards and
the game Hebiew Barney Anion.
"A game man never thinks of what he is
going to get. His mind is fixed on what he
intends to give. Such weie Edwards, Col
lins and Aaron. The opposite extreme is
Corbett.
"Some people think that Snlllvan and
Corbett won't fight. Yes they will. Honor
to the once matchless Sullivan; he will never
ciawl out of a fight nor make u fake match.
Oh! for 18S1 whon Sullivan sparred in Old
City Hall here on his way to New Orleans.
Had such a man as Corbett been in front of
Snlllvan then 20 men with stable forks
wouldn't have kept Corbett inside the ropes.
But time will tell and dissipation will tell
as much as time. Jem Mace, the champion
of champions In his day, could not stand
three two-minute rounds in front of Mitchell
because of time's effects. Coibett i nlone
depending on Sullivan being no longer Snl
llvan. The latter is three years older than
when he failed to deteat Mitchell, and his
life has been last. A draw tor Corbett will
be a victory, and lie thinks he will weary
Sullivan. If Sullivan gets near his old form
Corbett will be a cur."
THE STJBUBBAN HANDICAP.
Teuton May Not Start and Tournament Is
in Good Shape.
New York, March 20. Special. There is
considerable speculation going on relative
to the Sutmiban. One of the most exten
sively touted horses for tbe big races last
season was Teuton, but it is now said that
the horse may never face the flag again.
Although James Murphy, his trainer will
attempt to train him for the Suburban, he is
yeiv doubtful if he can stand It. The old
trouble, Mie middle tendon of his toreleg,
which gave out nearly a year ago In his
preparation for the Brooklyn handicap, has
again shown itself, and when he Is put to
the test he will piobably go lame. Teuton
was entered in both the large handicaps this
3 ear, and was declared out of the Brooklyn
only a short time ago. Should he fail to
stand up under liis training lor the Subur
ban, and it is exceedingly probable that he
will, he will be permanently retired lrom
the turf.
All of Foxhall Keene's horses are in good
shape, and tbe big horse, Tournament, is
fust getting in condttion under the careful
handling of Albert Cooper. Tournament
has many friends, and if lie is fit when he
goes to tho post for the Suburban lie will
carry a pot of money. Alonzo is Mr. Keene's
nomination for the Metropolitan, and he
may make the others, including the much
touted Slelpner, hustle to beat him In.

Louisville, March 20. Manager Chapman
engaged Jimmy Wol f yesterday to play with
the Louisvilles this season. He will be used
as a utility man. However, if Wolf legains
his old form as be expects, he will be In the
game every day. He was handicapped last
year by too much avoirdupois and bad luck,
lie weighs less now than ho has for several
years. The engagement of Wolf will be
recognized as a wise move. Many people
have asked Manager Chapman to give W olf
another chance. "Jimmy" is a laithful, hard
woiking player, who gave the Louisville,
club the best of service for several years,
and deserves some consideration.

HOW HEJSCAPED.
A Man Who Preferred Death Bather Than
Suffering What He Did.
The man who shot and killed himself at tbe cor
ner of Travers street and Webster avenue on
Thursday, was Identified as Joseph Scheppier, a
saddler, of No. 230 Mott street. He bad been
suffering from rheumatism for 12 years, and on
Wednesday night he told his sister, Mrs. Bam
berger, of No. 21: Chrystle street, that he could not
stand the pain any longer. The sum of 22 95 was
found In bis pockets. The sister will bury the
body. Xea TorkSun.
Sad; but how many men and women do the same
sad things I This man had a special reason for kill
ing himself. He could no longer stand the pain
from rheumatism which he was enduring.
Huw foolish I
Yes; but have you ever suffered as he did? If
not, do not condemn him yet. Agony is awful.
Should it be endured? No; it should be cured, or,
rather, prevented. That is all very well you say,
but not an easy thing to do. Isn't It?
Listen.
Pror. Phelps, of Dartmouth, knew this fact, and
what did he do? He made a new discovery. "Was
It an ordinary discovery? Not In the least. It was
one of the greatest of the present century. It was
sclent! fie and powerful. It would cure rheumatism
In the worst cases and prevent It In every case.
It has become marvelously popular. It is nsed
almost universally to-day. In a word, it is Pames
Celery Compound.
Pinched and pained from change of air, weak
and worn by disease, with joints springing In
agony from their sockets, mat,y men and women
feci that death would be a glad relief. It Is weak
ness to think so. but it is impossible to continue
enduring tbe agony. There is no need, however,
to die In order to stop It. Instead of killing oneself,
one should kill the pain, and we have pointed out
above how this can be done.
