LtADING FEATCEE8 OF BASEBALL Almost the only topic that is discussed in sportim; circles nowadays is the coming plove battle between John L. Sullivan and James J. Corbett. Judging irom the inter est now manifested in the event, it wilt be one of the most exciting glove contests that i.ss tvcr taken place in this or any other countrj-. All sorts and conditions of men :,re more or Ic-s interested in the coining nttle, and its importance is keeping in the i scksround even such big contents as those i.etneen Dixon and Skelly and .Slyer and JlcAnlifle. During the last few days there have been column; and columns written about the "bis l-attle," Everbody who is in any way publicly identified with sporting afiairs has talked about the afiair aud made a "predic tion," and the date of contest is getting so near that to-day I propose to say something about the probable result of the contest. A day or two aco I was reacting the opin ion cf 200 or 3ti0, more or less prominent sporting men on the contest now under dis cussion. It was remarkable how large a num ber "tipped" Corbett as the winner, and it was also very amusing to note the number ol rounds some ot the predictors stated would be necessary to finish the con test. Duncan H. Harrison is sure that Sul livan will be beaten in one round, and Doni I inick McCafiery is just as certain that Sul livan will win in tour rounds. I mention ihese as samples, and also to show that iii the majoritr ot cases outside influences in erfere aud cause men to say what they don't believe. D. B. Harrison doesn't for a moment be lieve hat Corbett will deleat Sullivan in ne round; he only wishes that such would be the case because ol the business quarrel there was between Harrifon and Sullivan. Vnd I cannot think that McCaffrev really believes that Sullivan will defeat Corbett in tour rounds. Dominick has undoubtedly so warmly espou-ed Sullivan's cause be cause the Manhattan Athletic Club, which employs McCaflrey, is on the Sullivan side. I leel sure of this, because not tery long ago, during a conversation with me, Medtlrey did not c'ass Sullivan very high as a pugilist and declared that Corbett was the best boxer he, 31cCaffrey, ha J eer met. . McCaffrey' Y-ry Had Reasoning. Dominick McCaffrey, in a long statement published in au Eastern paper, aVpIays the lect that his conclusions are more the eflect of auiinose than good reasoning. Hestood in iront ol Sulliian more than six rounds a'ld wanted to go on to a finish. Later Mc Caffrey wa iu trout oi Corbett and got such a drubbing that he (McCaflrey) declared to me that lie would leae the businrss for ever. He plainlv told me then in Corl tt he had met his superior and I gave ttiis statement to the public at the time and iu this paper. According to the foregoing declarations and r.asontnjs Corbett is a better man than Sullitau because McCaflrey always claimed in my hearing that he should have been awarded the Cent acainU Sullivan at Cin cinnati. But now McCaffrey states that he will fight Corbett auv number ot rounds or to a finish. McCaffrey will do no such thing except it may be lor about four round, and I den't think he would !a-t that long at this stage of his lile. Dominick neer js what we can call a pugilist, and my great lear is that Corbett is more or less ot the same cla-s. I hae drjwn atteution to McCaffrey's statement and to Harrison's prediction to show that in discussing the probabilities of the coming encounter we mii( separate our sympathies troin the exercises of our under standing and allow lacs and records to guide us. On this occasion it will be my endeavor to do this and I want it distinctly understood that what I write are merelv opinions and may not be as crrect as the opinions of oilier people. I am not in fallible and what I have to say to-day may be greatly at variance with theresuitsol the battle when it is over. Pinbabi ilies oJtll" Buttle. To name the winner of the Sullivan and Corbett contest i, in my estimation, one ot the most difficult problems there has been lor a long time in the pugilistic world. Uotti men rave strong q alities that reonin raend, and it is foolf-h to dispense nith Corhett's chances by a wave of the hand. Hehasaclai.ee to win, and a better one than many people believe, and were it not lor one thing I would now venture to say that he would win. We'll discuss that presently. I have" always held that John L. Sullivan has been an overrated man as a pugilist. I say so state and I particularly leter to Sul livan as a prize-ring fighter under old-lime rnles. It is not likely that anybodv will dispute this conclusion, as tl e truth of it has been demonstrated so often. Nobody can forget the difficulty SullUan had to down a man like Kilrain in the prize ring. That effort alone, without citing others, is proof sufficient that Sullivan has alwSv-s been far short oi what his friends have claimed tor him as a prize-ring fighter. But Sullivan as a giove fk'htei and under Queensberry rules is another thing, 'lhat is Sullixan's own game, and do not let me ruffle the temper ot auv"ody when I say that he even lias not done anything very ex traordinary at that. He is powerful, tolera bly active and hat agoodeye and quick head. His wonder.ul power has enabled him to rush in and use his tremendous right hand and deal terrific blons on his opponents. But we must observe that the majority of John L's. opponents in glove contests have been of the most inferior class, and that when in front of very clever boxers his great right hand has not been so successful. Xo.v, do not let us forget titis, because it is very important. Where men have stood up mid fought Sullivan he has beat them down, but when his opponents have been shifty be has been in difficulties. In Corbett he will meet the shiftiest man he has ever met, because Corbett has the ad vantage of height and reach. The latter in tends to be as shitty as he can be and to keep Sullivan on the run all the time. This is the most important feature or the question. Will Sullivan be enticed to run about the ring? It he is so enticed he will be beaten as sure a we live. Don't be tooled. Sullivan i not in the best ot con dition, aud a very wise triend of mine who saw him recently says he will not be so on the day of the fight. But I do not believe that John L. Sullivan, now in full knowl edge of his shortcoming, will allow himself to be wearied to death br chasing Corbett. And if there is no chasing to be done, we may have another farce such as the Corbett and Jackson 'afiair was. A hrm nd Abont Corbott. Corbett and his friends do not for one moment hesitate to sar th it Sullivan will have little chance to hit James J. By this it is meant that Corbett intends to kee'p oat of harm's way as long as he can so as to have Sull.van winded and worried. This is quite a legitimate and wise plan. Bat if Sullivan resolves to do the same, what will the result he? There will be no contest, and it Sullivan presents himself in the cen ter of the ring I am fully persuaded that , the Olympic Club authorities will not al i low a repetition of the Corbett and Jackson burlesque, but give the contest to Sullivan. It Corbett was a thoroughly game man I am inclined to think that he would defeat Sullivan under any circumstances, but his lack of that genuine pluck that makes great lighters deteriorates him considerable He has a powerful blow, but he is invarisbly prevented from dealing out its full force by retreating when he is delivering it. There is cowardice in this, and it is exactly what Corbett did when he met Jackson. It is because of this lhat I am of opinion that he will be defra"ed, for the chances are always in lavor of Sullivan getting home a big blow now and then, while Corbett's lack of courage will handicap him in that respect. I will, indeed, be surprised if Corbett would stand the punishment Sullivan would, and, moreover, I don't think that Corbett can give as much as Sullivan can. Boxing and activity are on the side of Corbett and pluck and power on the side ot Sullivan. 1 believe the latter will win if Sullivan is in anything like good condition, but I cer tainly do not expect him to hare an easy task. The Oth-r Two Contests. Everything is going finely along for the contests between Myer and McAuliffe and Dixon and Skelly. So far there has mt been much speculation on the events, chiefly because the big event is overshadowing them. Latest accounts from the South state that McAuline and Skelly are doing very well. The "bloods" ot New York are confident of Skellr being victorious over Dixon, although I do not notice that con fidence being backed np by money. If Skelly makes a good fight with Dixon he will do well. Ot course he might win, but I do not th:nk he will. Dixon is iu excellent condition according to latest reports, and it is needless to say that Dixon and his friends are just as con fident of victory as they can be. If he is defested, depend upon it Skelly will be a real wonder. There is bonnd to be some heavy specula tion on the Mver and McAuliffe contest. I am informed that McAulifte is in fine fettle, and, while it is very risky, I venture the opinion that he will win it he enters the ring all right. His friends say he is all right at present. I have a great respect for Myer, and his victorv over Carroll won him many support ers. But some very good judges, including Fitzsimmons, state positively that Carroll never fought worse in his lite than he did against Myer. Tlieri is apparently some truth in this because I cannot forget that Bnwen defeated Myer aud Gibbons beat Bowen. The Hall and Pritchard Battle. To-morrow evening, according to arrange ments, Prit chard, the Englishman, 'id Hall, the Australian, will meet and .settle the question of their comparative pugilistic merits. There are one or to local sporting men who want to back Fritchard, but there is an absence of Hall money. As to the result of the battle I have no definite opinion to offer, because I do not know sufficient about Hall. For a long time lie lias only been a piuutst on paper and a boxer at the shows. If he is not bet ter than his contest with McCarthy showed him to be he will be beaten. Pritchard is a fighter, and if Hall beats him it is almost safe to say that Hall is a better man than Fitzsimmons. There is one feature we must not overlook, how ever. Pritchard has never faced a mau of Hall's build, and I dare say he has cot fought a man ot Hall's style of fiihtine. This may make quite a difference to Pritch ard, but it is hardly to be expected lhat Hall, clever though he may be, will be able to keep Pritchard away from him. Ih-w Trotting itecord. It has been long looked for and has come at last. The trotting record has been broken beyond all doubt, and Maud S is no longer the great alar she has been lor the past seven or eight years. To beat a trotting record is always remarkable, but when a second and a halt is chipped off the mark it is more remarkable still. Of course I am referring to the mark ot Maud S, because Mr. Bonner has always claimed that her mark of 2:08 was a bet ter : enlevement than the Z:0s of Sunol. Will it be still further lowered this year? and who will lower it? are two interesting questions. According to what Budd Doble, the driver ol Nancy Hanks, who made the 2:07 on Wednesday, says, that mure is quite likely to make her record still better this year. Doubtless Mr. Bonner will no do all in his power to try and retrieve the laurels lot by Maud S and Sunol, and we are sure to have Beveral efforts made to break the record again before winter comes. Hal Pointer's mile in 2:05J lowers the pacing record a lull second, and dethrones Johnston. It is worthy ot note that the performance of Hal Pointer on Thursday did not create a twentieth part of the en thusiasm that the leatot Nancy Hanks did. Already there are many people trying to detract from the greatness of Nancy Hanks' penormance. It is claimed that the pneumatic-tired sulky is so much taster than the ordinary sulky, as drawn by Maud S when she made her record, that the performance of Maud S is the better ol the two. This is only a m.itter ot opinion, aud does not alter the fact that Nancy Hanks trotted a full mile on a lair track in 2:07 The great object is to gel a hore to trot the full measured mile and on level ground in the quickest time. Good equipment, of course, is one of the essentials. The sulky does not push the horse; the horse draws the sulkv, and it is. therefore, the speed of the horse that counts. Maud S or Sunol may have been, or even may be, able to trot a mile in 2:07 harnessed to a pnenmaiic tired sulky, but they have not done it, and that is the fact we have to deal with. We never think ot detracting from the great feats of Zimmerman, the bicyclist, or Han la.ii, the sculler, by arguing that, taking modern improvements in bicycles and scull boats into consideration, present records ars not as good as those ot the old-timers. It is the quickest time from end to end we're aiming at, and Nancy Hanks so tar has trotted lrom end to end of a mile quicker than any horse the world has ever known. Jrwett's Recant Sprinting Record, There promises to be some trouble over the claim that Harry Jewett ran 100 yards in 9 4-5 seconds at Cleveland yesterday week. It is stated that the A. A. A. will investigate the matter, and I trust this will be done carefully. I am cot going to -say that Jewett did not do the feai claimed, but there are grounds lor au investigation, and it will be more satisfactory to all concerned it the record is accepted" alter a thorough inquiry. Certainly there is much more Srce in Jewett's claim than in the absurd claim of Swimmer Kenny, who, it is alleged, at Philadelphia not onlv took the cramps and beat the mile record, but actuallv swam the last quarter of the mile in less time than quarter record. It is claimed that the only timer who held the watch when Jewett ran bis race caught the time a "rbade better thau even." This man was George Collis ter, a very trustworthv man, aud although a "shade better" is indefinite, it is not 9 4-5 seconds. It Jewett ran 100 yards in the time credited, Stage.who was a close third, must be an even time man, and this is greatly doubted by everybody who knows him. The time, 9 4-5, is extremely fast, and depend upon it the records creditmen with doing it who certainly never did any such thing. It wilt be a pleasure to me to know that niter the most careful investiga tion Harry Jewett's claim is allowed. A bunt ISuaeba 1 Affair in General. I haven't much room left this week to talk about the aSairs of the national game, but happily there is not very much ol im portance to talk about. The contest lor the League pennant still goes on its exciting way, and it is very exciting. It is both pleasing and remarkable the way in which the Cleveland team are sticking to the front. I hope they will hold on to the end, because I lancy the national game will be benefited it some team outside our big and autocratic cities were to get the pennant There is any amount ot time for lots of changes in the race yet. Four or five of the j leading teams are so close together that ' ontr SM-iA i-if tham Si tioVtla trt land Itl Tl Pt 411 UUI U LIItUt o llftUIV IV - place. The New York team are making a game fight for it, but they are short ot pitchers. But the Eastern teams all have the better ot the Clevelands because the latter have to go Et yet. The Boston team do not look like winners, and the truth is they are a very lucky lot. xiiej aiso iihvc u uesire wueii turj c vo ing to try and lead the spectators to believe that they don't care about winning. Mike Kelly is conspicuous in this. True, the Bostons are a good lot, but they are not as good as some of the Boston rooters think f they are. Witho-it mentioning all the teams in ne tail suffice it to say that there is every indi cation ior a very exciting struggle Joralmost every position In the list .-om-thlnc; Abnnt Local Matters. While things are not as bright with the local club as they could be they are certainly not as bad as tliev might be, and let ns be thankful lor that" During the last week or two the team have been playing fine ball, and winning ball at that. It that is what cranks like to see they ought to turn out in larger numbers and see it The team have bad one or two unlucky spells, but don't let us die broken hearted about that Bed Ehret ninde an awful mis take Thursday, but we cannot make it any better by blackguaiding Ehret, censuring everybody and pulling our own hair. It was a mistake, and everyone jof us make them. Depend upon it, Ehret will be more careful in future. He is a great pitcher, a willing one and a successful one, and the best everybody can do is to be proud that we have a man like Ehret on the team. Deleat of the team hasn't half the effect on tne minds of the cranks as it has on the minds of the club officials. The intense desire of the latter is to have a winning team here, and to get that I know the gen tlemen are prepared to make any kind of necessary 'sacrifices; in fact, there never have been in Pittsburg officials of a ball club as eager to work and as willing to put up the cash to get anything that promises to make the team better. This is no senti ment It is jn, absolute truth. These facts certainly mean that the club and those con nected with it deserve patronage. One thing is certain, viz., that those connected with the club will never rest content until there is a winning team in Pittsburg. Ot this I am sure. Manager Buckenberger is getting all the players into excellent condition. Acci dents have overtaken one or two of them, but these mishaps are not serious. If the pitchers can be kept all right there is no tear ot the team. There has been lots of talk about the Washington team refusing to play the game ou Tuesday. However bad, good or indif ferent the decisions ot the umpire were during that game, fhe Washington team had no license whatever to leave the dia mond. That kind of hot-headed and child ish work should be stopped by all means. If ever there was an instance where a club should be fined $1, 000 for its team with drawing from the game there was one clearly last Tuesday. If it wasn't a case then the sooner the rule relating to such matters is stricken lrom the book the bet ter. Pbingle. END OP THE SYSfEM. No Mors ConvIc'S Mill Be tented Ont In Tennessee STXnpathv of the Pnple With the Miners Somo of the Prisoner Have Encuped. Timothy Moroney, of New Orleans, who is interested in the coal and iron develop ments in Tennessee, registered at the Du quesne yesterday. He has been in the mountains for a month, ami came through the section of the State where the miners are rioting. He stopped over here on his wayxto New York to see a friend. "The upshot ot the riots in Tennessee," he said, "will be to stop the leasing of con victs. It is the old system of handling prisoners that has been tried in all the States, but exists now only in the extreme South. Every other State abandoned it some years ago. Where the convicts are negroes they do not come into competition with the white labor. In Louisiana the colored prisoners are funned out to contractors who .use them to build levees in the swamps, work that white men can't do and would soon succumb under. Convicts are leased out in Georgia, and ex-Senatrr Brown uses them to work his furnaces and mines. "The press dispatches do not give any idea of the sentiment of the people. The public favors the miners in their fight I don't think convicts will ever be leased out a'jain in Tennessee. The contractors have given them up, and they say lrankly the system is too expensive. I saw soldiers all along the line of the railroad from Knoxrille. At Harriman about 75 militiamen were drawn upon the platform. They were surrounded by a mob ot people who guyed them unmercifully. Mot of the tr opeis were boys, and the poor lellows stood the taunts ery well. When the Captain gave the command to march some one in the crowd cried out, "promenade all." The people took it up and went through all the figures in the dance. The boys fella little sheepish, but they made no r plv. The general opinion is that the odious ennvet law wi'l be repealed by the next Legislture. The prisoners have to work very hard in the mines, and the at tacks of the miners have put them in a good humor. During the excitement 15 ot the convicts have already escaped. They hope the war will keep up for awhile." . TEE CORONA OF THE BTJN. Its Origin Slay Be line to Some Electrlo Manifestations. Youth's Companion. One of the greatest mysteries of science is that magnificent display of coronal stremers and soft banners of light that is seen around the totally eclipsed sun. Sev eral recent investigations tend to show that this wonderful phenomenon is of electric or magnetic origin. Mr. M. L Pupin, of Columbia College, has just furnished most suggestive (acts bearing upon this question, through a series of experiments ou electric discharges in imperfect vacua. Pnotpgraphs ot such discharges, made by Mr. Pupin, bear an astonishing resemblance to the solar corona. In ismucti as the space immediately around the sun must almost necessarily contain large quantities of vapors and meteoric dust, it does not seem difficult to conceive that a condition ot things exists there which is suited to electrio manifestations on an immense scale. Yet, after all, when we think of the tremendous energv of the sun, which is able to make daylight upon the earth, to warm with its life-supporting rays planets that circle around it at a dis atice ot tens and hundreds of millions of miles, and to awaken the magnetism of our globe until the air is aflame with auroral litrhts, we can hardly wonder that it should -cause the nearer regions ot space around its own sphere to glow with strange radiance. THE FAKMES IN POLITICS. The Froeress So tar Is Mosttjr Dae to Efficient Organization. 'Not a few of those who write upon the subject wonld have us thinktbat politics is not bis province; that the farmer's place is on the farm, his work the tilling of the soil, and that to the intellectual and monied class belongs the ability and therefore the right to construct the laws and take care of the country," says Newton L. Bunnell in the Worth American Review. "Too loug have the farmers by their con duct, if not in reality, conseuted to this state of things; but those good days of pro priety are gone. The farmer of to-day in sists upon meddling with politics, and even demands that those who legislate shall recognize his existence and the agricultural interests of the country. These interests have to some extent been recognized and these demands partially considered. That this is true is either directly or indirectly due to the farmer's agitation. In even so short a time have good results to the farmer .followed the work of the organization." INTO ANCIENT CHINA. Eli Perkins Finds the Celestials at Work in the Old Ways.

A most superb test of Chinese ingenuity occurred yesterday. A large, stout lady in our party, with jinriksha riding and hard traveling, naa usea up ner last pair oi French corsets. Its many nroken aud pro truding bones made it unbearable. When my tailor brought back a Tuxedo suit this morning, Mrs. Marsh said jokingly: "John, you makee corset?" John took the corset in his hand, ex amined its difficult mechanism, and said, "Yes me makee. Me can do." Mrs. Marsh gave him the sample, and this morning John sidled in sottly with two per fect corsets. They were absolute copies, one in pink and the other in black satin; aud fitted to a charml John's price was three dollars tor duplicating a fifteen dollar French corset Tlie'e are many sects of Christians in China and Japan, each teaching a ditlereut beliel about Christ and Trinity, that the poor Chinaman is all mixed up. First the Methodists, Baptists and Catholics asked the heathen to worship Christ or God. Then the Unitarians taught that Christ was only a goo i man like Buddna. Sir Edwin' I flu -nee on Rellrlnn. Then Edwin Arnold, the great Agnostto, came and put Buddha over Christ, made Buddha '-The light ot Asia." Going down to Ceylon Mr. Arnold showed his adoration for the tooth of Buddha, kept there as a relic To-dav I tried to get afthe belief of a converted Chinaman and asked him a few questions which he answered in pidgin English.

To-day there was a trreat fete in the Chinese garden outside of Shanghai. It was a Dragon festival. In the procession was a gaudy dragon 60 feet long. Here I saw women with all kinds of feet, little feet four inches long, medium feet and big feet I find there is no cast connected with little feet. Poor women in obscure and filthy quarters have them as often as the wealthy classes. It is simply vanity. It is common to see women in rags hob bling along on stumps of feet as ungainly as a man walking on wooden legs. If it were not for jiurikshas and wheelbarrows, many of them would never go a square from home. They are very proud ot tne deformity and grin all over when an Ameri can lady notices them. I have been told repeatedly in China that no Chinese lady ever allowed a photo graph taken of her feet To-day alte buy ing a Hawthorn vase and a bolt of Chinese crape of a rich China merchant, I j revayed upon him to let a Kodak be taken ot his wife's little feet "Such preyy pretty feet" I said admir ing the little silk baby shoes. PhniosraptilnK a Lady's Feet. The merchant assented after much reluct ance and I was able to snap mv camera at the lady's extremities. The initial illustra- tlon of this article is from the photograph, and thus the reader is now looking at the first photograph of the tiny foot of a Chi nese lady weighing 150 pouuds. Her teet are only lour inches long. I found the four small toes rolled under and entirely imbeded in the bottom of the foot Only the big toe went to the toe of the shoe. It was not a foot, but more like the thigh 1 one of a chicken a triangle of solid flesh and bone. The lady could walk very well, bat with a hobbling gait The Talus of a Dollar There. In traveling in Japan and China I find that every 15 1 bronght from America in silver, P'per or gold is worth $7 85 in Mexi can dollars or Japan yens. A yen is a Japanese dollar the size ot onr dollar and containing 100 cents. So a thouand Ameri can dollars me ins nearly $1,600 here. If our silver was not on a gold basis it would buy no more here than the Mexican or Japanese dollar. To-day I asked my Chinese banker about the decline in silver, for it has come like the scourge to China and India. "Yes," he said, "Mexican dolla got velly small. Chinese t-iel lonce worth SI 60, now worth only ?L Japanese dolla allee same Mexican no good." "Singapore rnpe," continued the China man, "once north 50 cents, now down to 31 cents. Melican dolla he all lightee. He got gold beliend him. No gold beliend rupee. Filteen ounce silver once makee ounce gold. Now 17 18 ounce silver no makee ounce gold." "But the American free coinage bill will compel our Government to buv more silver and make them into dollars," I said. "What Melican man do with so many dollar put him in a gndown?" he said, re ferring to the "godown" in Japan and China, where the store valuable goods to protect thcui'against earthquakes and fires. Not Favorable to Free Colna-e. "No, pile them up in the sub-treasuries," I said. "Secretary Charles Foster will store them awav." "But Mm by Chala Fosta must sell. He have too much dolla. Who will buy? No one. Evelyblody sell. Down go dolla. Take gold away from beliend dolla; he no good. Noblody buy him. Evelvblody sell him Melica dojja bim by bad all same Mexican. Chala Fasta he bust up Melican man's bank if he Take too many dolla." Evidently John Chinaman is not for the free coinage of silver. When I asked Mr. Jansen, who is one of the substantial men ot Shanghai, if the rail road would come again to China, he said: "Yes, it will come azain, and the next time to stay.

New Improvement on the Tricycle That Will Enable It to Float Chicago News Record. The people along Ozden boulevard, near Douglas Park, at 9:30 o'clock yesterday morning stopped and looked with a wonder at a slender man who was riding a queer machine toward the park. The amazement of those who followed was not diminished when they saw the man ride into the park, down the drive to the water and oat on the lake. The man was T. J. Olsen, a boot and shoemaker. The machine somewhat resembled a tri cycle, but on the spokes of the drive wheels there were paddles and the little wheel was covered with sheetiron and served as ,a rudder. Underneath the main axle and about fonr inches Irom the ground two boats 6 feet in length and 18 inches beam, about two feet apart, like the halls ot a cata maran, adapted the queer craft to the water. The speed attained was equal to that of a rowboat, and Mr. Olsen claimed it was more easily propelled, NOTES AND QUERIES. Pittsburg Has Many Pigeon Fanciers of High and Low Degree. INCOME OP ENGLAND'S QUEEN. Origin of the Topnlar bjeetlon to Hsj u a Wrdding 11 onto. HOW ENGLISH fcPARKOWS CAHK HEEI rWBITTXN FOB THX DISPATCH. I Many people of refinement and intelli gence in Pittsburg keep a few pretty pigeons as pets. There are possibly a hundred or more. A prominent banker who resides in the East End has his cot of fancy Pouters and Fantails, and every morning and even ing with clock-work regularity this gentle man of wealth seeks his pigeon loft to enjoy the odd pranks of his pets, feed them and see to their comfort For 15 years this man has had a flock of pigeons. Another man a painter living out the Pennsylvania road has a still larger collection, comprising some very rare and valuable fancy pigeons, Carriers, Pouters, Fantails, Turbits, Owls, Tum blers, Trumpeters, Swallows, Barlos, Ant werps, and nearly all the choicest varieties kuown as fancy pigeons. This gentleman has been keeping fine pigeons for 20 years, and his collection represents many hun dred dollars invested. Pigeons that cost from $10 to (100 per pair are among this col lection. Still another man, living at Dallas station, owns a flock of long distance Antwerp Car rier pigeons which fie- now is training westward, expecting to liberate them at the World's Fair during the Pigeon Flyers' tournament He has birds in his loft bred irom flyers of 800 and 1.000 miles, and many of them have to be shut in, because they would fly back home to their former owner if they were permitted their liberty. He permits the yonng flock to fly about his home. Each week finds six or eight beauti ful Antwerps stowed away in a basket and intrusted to some of the express messengers on traius bound westward, who liberate them at the station that baa been agreed upon, and in a few hours they are found in their loit as happy and as full of lite as if nothing wonderful had been done by them. Antwerps are usually trained westward from their loft, seldom eastward. They have the wind current with them, which is an advantage in last traveling. Several society ladies are among Pittsburg's pigeon fanciers. One fancier in Baltimore erected some time ago a good pigeon house costing $7,000, and his flock of Short-face Tumblers represent a money value ot from $2,000 to 4,000. This man is one of the leading mer chants ot Baltimore, past 60 years ot age, and has been keeping pigeons tor about 40 years. He has every work published on pigeons, and for many years has sought his greatest pleasure and relaxation from the world and business in his pigeon house. He thinks it is the best investment a man can make for rest We have had a discussion as to tne num ber of genemls titers have been in our army; will you enllghteu ujon tnesniJeciT B. AHD F. If you refer to all the officers entitled to be called "generals" who served in the army, we can't give yon much light There were 333 Major Generals and Brigadier Generals in the Union army during the war, and probably about as many in the Confederate army. Then there were others before the war, and there have been 100 or so since the war. But if yon relet to the officers who have held the rank of General of the army, we can enlighten you. Wash ington, though generally supposed to have been created General ot the army, never held the rank; it was created for Grant, by act ot July 24, 1866, and he was promoted the next day. The grade was limited to Grant and Sherman by name. Grant resigned March 4, 1869, and Sherman, who had been promoted Lieutenant General the same day Grant was promoted General, succeeded him as second General ol the army. Sheridan became Lieutenant Gen eralwhen Sherman became General and re mained in that grade until 1888, when a law having been passed reviving the grade of General, he was promoted June 2, 1888. When he died in July, 1888, the gra les of General and Lieutenant became extinct The highest rank in the army now is that of Major General commanding the army. What Is meant by the word "cloture?" During; tlie disensMon or the late ilver bill It at suiMested thai the Ilouse Committee on Bules might "bnn ' in a cloture rale." M. H. B. Cloture means the closing, the shotting up of anything. The word was originally French, and is applied now only to pro ceedings taken in a parliamentary body to pat an end to a debate. The previous ques tion is a species of cloture. The worth was brought into us; in the British Parliament some ten years ago. Until that time there was no rule to prevent a member from talk ing a year at a time; and the Irish members preveuted anything from being done bv talking, talking, talking. Finally the idea ol shutting tbem off was acted upon, and the process ot cloture was brought over from France. Now in Parliament, when a member ot the Government moves the clo ture, the Speaker put the question that the debate be now closed; if a certain pro portion of the members present vote in the affirmative, the debate is closed and the question put With us the proposed clo-. ture rule would have been to the eflect that debate on the bill should last a certain length of time, and that then the question should be put In England they now call "cloture" by the better name "closure." What Is the Income of Queen Victoria? S. F. Habbisov.. She gets as Qneen 385,000 a year, equal to about $1,925,000, and as Duchess of Lan caster abouf50,000, equal to about $250, 000. Her private investments are believed to be considerable, though Mr. Henry La bouchtre, who sat in the Parliamentary Commission which investigated her busi ness methods at her request, s.iys that they are much less than is usuallv believed. The "civil list" is not all at the Queen's dis posal, however; 50,000 go to her for her "privv purse;" lor the ralariesot her "house hold" she gets 131,260 and for its ex penses 172,500; lor the royal bounty, to be expended in certain ways, she has 13,200; and for various purposes, "sunilries," 8,040. She gets less than any other sov ereign of the first rank, and less than her predecessors on the throne of Great Britain, George III, who got 800,000, and one year got 900,000. William IV. got 510,000; but when Victoria succee led him it was agreed that various salaries and pensions should be taken from the civil list, and paid out of the consolidated lands, and that the civil list should be reduced. What is the difference between a Minister andaConsnlT. J. 8. N. C- A minister to a foreign country represents bis country in that to which he is accred ited; his person and residenoe are sacred bis residence, wherever he may go in lhat country, being considered as part of the country from which he comes he cannot be sued for any debt, he can bring in goods tree of duty, and is entirely above the laws of the country wherein he resides. A con sul is an official of a lower grade, thoueh in onr service he is apt to be vastly more use ful than the minister. He looks alter the business interests of the citizens of his country; he is a notary public in his dis trict tor people of his country; he signs shipping papers, protects Individuals and calls on the minister to help when neces- I sary. Oar console make reports to the J State Department on business afiairs and methods In the countries to which they are sent; and in everv way they are required to act as business agents for the people of the United States and to assist in extending our foreign trade. What la the meaning of the word "Home stead?" Old Beader. The word is compounded of the Anglo Saxon home, the secret or sacred place of a family, and stead, from the Anglo-Stxoa stede, a place; so the word means the home place of the familv. By onr land laws a homestead is a tract of land, 160 acres in extent, given to a bona-fide settler by the Government on condition that he shall reside upon it and cultivate it tor five years. The laws recognize the etymology bf the word, seemingly, for they give a homestead only to heads of families or possible beads. What were the Trenoh Spoliation Claims? S. M.C. They were and are claims accruing in 3799-1800 to onr citizens against France for damages done by French cruisers at a time when war between the United Slates and France was almost ready to be declared. When the Uniled State bought Louisiana from France, it was agreed upon by the two countries that each should assume certain claims against it by citizens of the other. The United Stales has not paid them, thoueh the claims were approved by the Court of Claims, and though at least one bill has passed Congress appropriating money to pay them. Why Is there a popular objection to get ting married in May? J. S. The idea that May is an unlncVy month for weddings is as old as the time of the Bnm-ins, for Ovid, who lived about the time of Christ, speaks of it. The belief had its origin, probably, in the fact that daring the month the Romans celebrated the festival of Bona Dea, the go.ldes and patroness ot un married women, and the festival in honor of the dead. When was the "English sparrow" Intro duced Into this conntrj ? Avis. In 1862. New York City had been suffer ing from a plague of caterpillars, which is described as hxving been most horrible,, the worms covering the sidewalks and falling on anyb dy who might walk under the trees. To rid the city of the caterpillar, a few sparrows were imported; the next year the sparrow was in full possession. From New York City it has spread over most of the country. What Is a "Hmmy"such as burglars use? The name sounds mysterious. Scbscwbeb. A jimmy is simply a short crow-bar; a sectional jimmy is one in sections of say one foot in length, which are screwed together to make it of the necessary length. One end of this jimmy is turned np a little more than the end of the ordinary crow-bar. The jimmy is an example of a simple lever. Who was the greatest General or the civil war? Veteran. The most successful, of course, was Grant; bat the ablest strategists and most skillful handlers of men, according to European critics German and French were Robert E. Lee, George B. McClellan and William T. Sherman. 05 1HE ST. LAWBEUCE. Pittsburg Feopls Having a Delightful Tims on thft Ts'and. CtATToir, Aug. 19.

"Cablegrams from London during the elec tions have bad several references to 'taggot voting,' toVarhich is attributed in a large degree the great reduction in Mr. Glad stone's majority in his own constituency," says a writer in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat ""This faggot voting is a peculiarity ot En glish and Scotch elections and is the result of the right of cumulative voting, which still exists in those ennntries. A man can vote in as many constituencies as he pays taxes in, and the possession of a cemetery lot is sufficient to give the qualification. Sev eral men vote as manv as twenty times in one election, and in Midlothian the Tories have subdivided hundreds of acres into imaginary town sites and given lots to non resident voters. "At the 1885 election over 2000 non resident or faggot votes were recorded against Gladstone, and the enormous poll this year makes it look as though the num ber had been greatlv increased."

"Hera at our very door lies the island of Cuba, a country as strange and foreign to oar own as is any portion of Southern Europe or the South Sea Islands. Its chief city, Havana, is old enough to satisfy the antiquary, aud the life of the common peo ple of the interior is as primitive as in .Egypt under the Pharaohs," says James Eeeve in the ChaxAavqium. "The vast majority of the popnlation of Havana, and indeed all Cuba, is wretchedly fioor. The streets are filled with abject ooking creatures, not only ill-clad, but maimed, deformed and poorly nourished. Men who are well dressed, and whose ap pearance betokens them prosperous citizens, are rare. A comparison between tbem and the people who throng the streets of Boston or New York, Cleveland or Cincinnati forces the conviction that theiraverage is low in morality, in worldly prosperity, and in happiness'and Intelligence. "Some ot these conditions are the natural result of Cuba's subjection to Spain. This island has been Spain's cocoanut, from which Spanish greed and rapacity have been sucking the milk for hundreds of years."
