Base BAN Notes.

The Cincinnati club plays here on Tuesday
and the LOUISVILLE Thursday, Saturday and Sun
day. After this week, the Indianapolis club
plays away from home for five weeks.
The turnstiles were not up at the new grounds
yesterday, but the gate receipts show that over
1000 people were in attendance probably the
largest crowd that ever saw base ball game in
this city.
If the indianapolis club wants to cut down ex-
penses it should release Sneed and Friess, and
put one of the change catehers in the center
field. Thompson can certainly outplay Sneed in
that position
Valentines umpiring for the last two games
has been excellent, his judgement in balls and
strikes being especially good He has been
treated discourteously by the audiences here, but
has shown himself to be a gentleman.
Manager Hacbett writes to the Cleveland
Herald that Harkins has mashed thumb, Me
Cor1nck strained thigh, Murphy lame leg,
Evans lame arm. Glasscock lame shoulder
and Bushong's hands are tender and sore. The
Cleveland club is evidently in bad luck
1t is reported that the directors of the Colum-
bus club have received offer of $4,000 for the
transfer of their nine to Newark, N j. The re
port is doubted, and some people assert that it
originated to affect the local feeling hostile
to Sunday games, without which the club can
not live.
The 'sBlaek Raven base ball club, composed
principally of young colored boys, has been or
ganized and last night elected the following Off
GERS: President, Larry MeKeon; vice-president,
John Thompson, of Canada; manager, Homer
June. The names of the players are picturesque,
they are: Alex. Williams catcher Sam. Dorsey,
pitcher: Rock of Ages Baxter first base; Pan
sly Blossom" Smith second base; 'Licoriee'
Jackson third base: 'Peekaboo' Beasely, left
field; "Never-sweat" Tyler, center field, and
'Dnk" Russells, right field.
To the Editor OF the indianapolis journal:
To settle dispute, please answer the follow
ing question: a.. Were Bob Ferguson, An
son, Larkin, and HaTbidge members of the
Chicago club in 1879 ". Did the Indianapolis
club wear white uniforms with red stockings in
1862
~. Arson, Larkin and Harbidge were with
Chicago that year, but Ferguson was at Phila-
delphia. (2). Yes.

The improved method by which it has been
possible reproduce pure of tarter has had an
important bearing upon the manufacture Of
baking powder. By the process heretofore gen
orally employed, it has been found impossible to
remove all impurities, more particularly the
tartrate of lime, which remained to such an eX-
tent as to greatly impair the quality of the cream
of tartar, and to interfere seriously with the
strength and wholesomeness of the baking
powders into which it entered.
In the process which is owned by the
Royal Baking Powder Company, of New York,
and exclusively employed in its extensive tartar
works, the imported crude grape acid Is SO
treated as to remove all vestige of tartrate of
lime or other impurities, giving product before
unknown-a chemically pure cream of tartar
By the employment of these superior facilities,
the Royal Baking Powder Company has made
the Royal Baking Powder as the chemists all
certify of the highest possible degree Of strength.
absolutely pure and wholesome, and with an
always uniform leavening power. 1t is for these
reasons that the Royal" never fails to produce
bread, biscuit cakes, etc. that are light, sweet.
digestble and wholesome; the eating of which is
never followed by indigestion, or any of those
physical discomforts attendant upon the par
taking of improperly prepared food. In render
ing possible the production Of a baking powder
possessed of these qualifications the improved
method of refining cream of tartar becomes at
once a matter of material importance 10 the
culinary world.

DIAMONDS IN WISCONSIN.
Gems Found in Diggings Near Waukesha-
Preparations for Continuing the Search.

MILWAUKEE,, May rs B. Boynton, of this
city, who is digging for diamonds near Wan
keska, Wis, found two in the gravel strata this
week. One of the stones was a splendid speei-
men, but the other was imperfect in crystalliza-
ton, and is what is known a tart diamond
After the gravel had been penetrated the hard
pan was struck, and he experienced trouble with
he water This week he will sink a
shaft five feet lower, and expects to
strike the diamond depository At the depth Of
fifty five feet diggers came upon piece of timber
evidently tamarack, in splendidly preserved con-
dition. 1t must have been in its present bed TOR
thousands of years, 1t was not in the least pet
rifed In the upper strata Of gravel BOynton
found quantities of topaz stones, malachites,
sardonyx, chrysolites, carneians and pieces
of garnet The specimens. are very fine
Such crowds have been attracted to the
spot that he has been obliged to build high
fence around the entire claim to keep them away,
thousands coming from the surrounding country
in one day. He is operating ON what is known as
the Kettle range of hills. They are mainly in
Waukesha county, extending semi-circularly
about one hundred miles, with a small spur in
Racine county. The range encloses a gravel
float which must have swept down from Michi
gan during the glacial period.

Classifying the Gamblers.



Gamblers may be classed in three grades, ac-
cording to the injuries their gambling infiicts on
society: First class gamblers that officers or
directors of banking establishments; second
class, gamblers in securities and commodities
that are not connected with such establishments;
third class, questionable gamblers, that keep
'tlger" dens, "keno" shops, or gambling houses
of other unpopular names, that, in respectable
society, have not the stamp of responsibility.
The first class is the wiekedest and worst. The
second class is next in the order of righteousness
to society the third class is eeast Objectionable
of all Yet the third and beast injurious class OF
gamblers is the only one that the modern gov
eminent of the planet treats as criminal. If ii
is the Office of government to punish gamblers Of
the least injurious class, it is the most impera-
tive office of government to punish the most in
furious class the gamblers that call themselves,
by legal authority, bankers.

Household Hints.


Broom corn requires a rich soil. 1t returns
nothing to the land, ana is best grown ON mire
bottoms, where annual deposit of sediment
restores fertility.
If a room is i'll very general use have materials
that will bear usage. Hair cloth and cane fur
nture are not very fashionable now, yet if
one has them, they will look better at the end of
ten years wear thar the cheap upholstered col
ored furniture, of which so much is now sold.
Knives with ivory handles which have become
loosened or have fallen out entirely, can be
cemented at home with small expense by using
this cement: Take four parts of resin, one part
of beeswax, one part of plaster of Paris fill the
hole in the handle with the cement then heat
the steel of the handle, and press it FIRMLY into
the cement.
There is no reason why the kitchen should not
have something attractive in its surroundings TO
Tighten the lab0rs of those who are buried there
the whole day. Bay windows form attractive
feature in amy room, correcting the monetony of
a square shape, forming a pleasant nook for
work or recreation. A sofa lounge may be fitted
permanently around the bay, and flowers can be
arranged on a stand placed in the center.
A small piece of resin dipped in the water
which is placed in a vessel on a stove, will add a
peculiar property to the atmosphere of the room,
which will give great relief to all persons
troubled with cough The heat of the water is
sufficient to throw off the aroma of the resin,
and gives the same relief that is afforded by a
combustion. because the evaporation is more
durable The same resin may be used for
weeks.
The striped bordering of WORKOUT stair carpet
may be used with good effect. After it is care
fully cleaned, cut the border of, leaving mar
gin of the worn centre part for a seam then use
this for the border of mats made of pieces OF
carpet. A large mat which will do good service
and will look we'll too, can be made by sewing
two breadths together and then putting the Dor
der on. Dampen the seam and press it on the
wrong side with hot iron.

The first Sunday game of base ball IN tins city
took place yesterday at the new grounds on the
extension of College avenue just beyond the
city limits Fear of official interference and the
threatening weather doubtless kept many away,
but stin the crowd was so large that they could
not be seated, although there was capacity for
nearly ., 900. The Wabash ran three crowded
trains and there were private conveyances by
the score while many walked Considerable
difficulty was experienced in keeping the crowd
off the field so that the play could proceed, and
if the Sunday games are to continue, the man.

crowd was good natured and orderly, remarkably
so for such large gathering, and there were no
disturbances instances of drunken disorder.
Contrary to general expectation there was no
interference on the part of the ofcersof the law,
although it is understood that the players and
other attaches will be filed against to-day for
desecraton of the Sabbath.
The grounds, which are excellently arranged
and much larger than the Seventh street park,
were in very good condition, considering their
hasty preparation. Up to the fifth inning no
runs were scored, and the pitching was very
effective In the sixth there was brisk shower

Warming of a New Danger.
Atlanta Constitution.

Panieky times are favorable for the develop
ment of thieves and vagabOnds. We may eX-
pect to hear of burglaries and robberies more
frequently than before, and the police would do
well to keep a sharp lookout. Weak minded
men get afraid of a panic, and conceal their
money at home in an old sock, or in the ground,
have great faculty for spotting men who have
money about the house, and it is only question
of time for them to get it, unless the owner sits
up all night with a gun to guard it. Let the
police be on the alert.
