RUMoRs ABOUT rHE G cLuB.

RUMORS ABOUT H LOCAL CLUB.
1t is rumored that the Indianapolis base ball
club will be transferred to Detroit, and will
supersede the players in the present nine there.
The directors and manager Of the local club
refuse to say anything about the matter, and
will neither affirm nor deny the rumors. 1t is
known, however, that negotiations between the
two clubs are pending. A meeting of the
directors of the local nine will probably be
held this afternoon to consider the
matter, and some definite conclusions will
doubtless be reached. Even if the club is
not transferred it will probably disband within
a few days. as the Western League is not likely
to hold together much longer. McKeon and
keenan, declare that they will not play under
the Detroit management, if the transfer is made,
and it is expected that Casey will join the Balti-
more club if there is any change in the Indiana
polls nine.
At Milwaukee
To-day's game between the MiIwaukees and
Keokuks came to an end in the middle of the
ninth inning, when the captain of the Keokuks,
taking exception to a decision of Umpire Hoover,
withdrew his men from the field. The game
was decided in favor of the M~ilwaukees, with a
score of 8 TO 0.

AT THIRD-sTREET NJ. e. CHURCH.
At the Third street NJ. Z. Church, which, by
the way, was the first church in this city to OBJ
serve 'tChildren's Day. the entire day, morn
ing, afternoon and evening, was devoted to
the children. Rev. j. w. Duncan preached a
sermon applicable to the occasion, and the Sun
day.school exercises were under the manage
ment of the superintendent, j. B. McNeely, the
church being handsomely decorated with flowers
and plants.
AT PRESBYTERIAN URIC
The services at the Tabernacle Church, yes
terday morning, were according to a programme
prepared in advance and distributed among the
congregation. The programme consisted largely
of responsive readings by the pastor, Rev. j.
Albert Rondthaler, and superintendent Of the
school Vinson Carter and the congregation and
school. Several songs were rendered by the
school, and the choir gave an anthem appropri.
ate to the occasion. The sermon was based
upon Isaiah's invitation, Come We and let as go
up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of
the God Of Jacob, and He will teach US OF His
ways and we will walk in His
paths This the preacher compared to an
invitation to a party here below; how the invita-
ton was delivered, and how it should be re-
sponded to; how the party is to be conducted,
and what will be done there. 1t was q very in
t~eresting talk, and brought the matter to the
clear understanding Of almost every one Of the

Byron Sunderland. Several churches
claimed the President as their own,
but he disappointed them and follow

Buffalo. DR.. Sunderland is one Of

In direct violation OF the will Of the
elders OF the church DR.. Sunderland
permitted Fred. Douglass. (the pro-
fessional negro,) to dellvera political
lecture from the pulpit of he church.
More than half OF the congregation
became 80 indignant that they left
the church and never returned to ii
again. The cream Of DR.. Suuder

New York Avenue Church, which
now claims to be the largest and the

CIeveland'S Secretary.
How Col. Daniel S. lamont Became

name va then freely mentioned. One
day there came a letter from Mr..
Lamont TO Grover Cleveland. In it
he did not want 10 be held RESPONSE
bic for what the aperA said about his
connection with the private secretary
ship, and hoped that Mr.. Cleveland
woul;! not hold him responsible In
fact, the matter had disturbed him
because he did not wish to be placed
in false position, and his letter was
prompted from these motives. He
had not thought of the office and had
not thought Of making any effort to
secure it. 1t was plain letter, from
a candid man, and different from some
of those who were scrambling for Of
fee. At that time Grover Cleveland
did not know Daniel S. Lamont, bnt
Mr.. Bissell, Cleveland's partner, had
favorable acquaintance with him.

Speaking of Col. Lamont, am re
minded that during Cleveland's pre-
r aration of the draft Of his inaugural
messa ge in Buffalo he sent for Col.
Lamont. He came to Buffalo and
assisted Mr.. Cleveland. Shortly alter
he returned to Albany, few weeks
before the inauguration, an Albany
paper purported to give an interview
with Col. Lamont, in which synop
sis was given Of what were intended
to be the points OF the Governors
forthcoming message. Somebody sent
the newspaper slip to The Governor
as a reflection upon Col. Lamont.
Speaking Of the matter few days al:

if the points published were true.
I don't know" said Mr.. Cleveland.
Somebody sent me a newspaper slip
containing an alleged synopsis. Where
and how they made it up don't

Judge COlhran on The Pistol.

In his charge before the court Of
Sessions at spartanburg thus speaks
Of. the peruicious. and evil habit Of
carrying concealed weapons:
"Can you imagine any use in the
world to which a pistol can be put
except to take human life? Can you
mend ploughstock with pistol ?
Can you make hoe helve with a
pistol? Can you repair any piece Of
your machinery that is broken with
PISTOL? Can you write letters or
keep merchants books with pistol?
What can you do with it except to
take human life? You cannot shoot
game with it; you cannot catch fish
with it. For what purpose, then, Mr..
For, man, is it carried? You know
for what it is carried-you know very
we'll the uses to which it has been put
You know that this country has
II aaa;s:I aaLh blood for the pasti ten

east were heavy losers. At first, when
the enthusiasm ran high over the re-

The demand ceased one week after

The dawn grows red in The East
With pomp and purple of gold,
And curtains of trailing misL
Arc in gauzy films uprolled.
The sun like painter comes
To ilumo The background gray.
And he wields his magic brush,
Though few know it, every day.
The birds awake when The dawn
Draws faint pink streaks in the East
And the bobolink and thrush
Rehearse for royal feast.
The robin, the llnnet, the lark,
Are songsters gladstone and gay;
The music they make is good.
And they make it every day.
The brook begins with its song
AT earliest morning hour,
And the bee. its soft drone Starts
In The wet and dewy flower.
The sound Of all growing things
Is heard in The wind harp's lay;
The song is of peace and love,
And earth sings ii every day.
There are children glad as dreams,
And they fill fair houses with light,
And their voices chime in chords
OF JOY from morn till night.
Triumphant the whole wide world,
The children dance and are gay,
The throb Of the rhythm is sweet,
And It's measured-every day.
There are battles for the right,
By men who are brave and true,
And the world will never know
Half the valiant deeds they do.
They make The sorry to smile,
They make the wicked to pray,
They make the brave TO dare,
And they do it-every day.
