Extravagant Salaries for Players Said to
Consume Most of the Receipts
'There is no money in base ball
nowadays" said j. F. Allen, ore OF
the directors of the Providence Club,
at the recent base ball meeting in this
city. 1.-The time was when a man who
put his mouey into a club was quite
sure of coming out more or less ahead,
but that is past. When the National
League had control of all the best
players in the country few yeas ago,
and had no opposition, salaries were
low, and player who received 81, 800
for his seasons work did well. In
1881, when the American Association
was organized in opposition to the
League, the players salaries at once
began to go up, as each side ;ried to
outbid the other. When the two or
CARNATIONS formed what is known as
the National agreement the clubs re-
tanned their players at the same sala-
ries.
Several other associations we're then
organized in different parts of the
country and were admitted under the
protection Of the National agreement.
This served to make good ball players,
especially pitchers, scarce and forced
salaries up still higher, until at the
present time a frst-class pitcher will
not look at a manager for less
than $500 for a season. Rad
bodrne of last years Providence Club
received the largest amount of money
that has ever been paid to ball player.
His wonderful pitching, which won the
championship for the club. cost about
$4,000, as he did the work of two
pitchers and received the pay of two.
''Some of the salaries which base
ball players will get next season are:
O'Rourke, Gerhardt, Deasley, Ewing
and Ward of the New York Club,
$4,000 each. Mullane was to have
played with the Cincinnati Club for
$4,000. Dunlap has contract with
the new League Club of St. Louis, for
$3,400. These are only a few of the
higher prices paid, while the number of
men who get from $4,000 to $4,000 is
large. At these prices a club with a
team costing only from S15, 900 to
$4,000 is lucky; but it has not much
chance of winning the championship.
To this expense must be added the
ground rent, the salaries of the gate
keepers, and the travelling expenses,
which will be about as much more.
"As a high-priced club, the New
York Club leads, while the Metropol-
itans are nearly as expensive. The in
come of these two clubs last year was
nearly $4,000 yet the Metropolitans
lost money, and the New York Club
was only little ahead. The first year
the Metropolitans were in the field
their salary list was light, as were their
travelling expenses, and at the end of
the season they were over $4,000
ahead. IN 7. San.

LUXURIATED ON APPEARANCES.
How q Trunk Thief Passed as Rich Young
Swell at Saratoga Hotel.

New YORK, Oct 9-Early last summer Mrs
A. M. Lancaster, of Honesdale, Pa, while re.
turning from trip to Boston, had her trunk,
containing a valuable wardrobe, important pa
pers and articles of great value, stolen. 1t had
been properly checked in Boston. The railroad
authorities traced it to Albany, and there all
trace of it was lost.
About this time young man dressed in the
height of fashion aud giving the name of Clarence
Depuyster, of New York, became guest of a
SARATOGA hotel. His baggage consisted of one
very large trunk and fine alligator skin bag
AS the guest was evidently one of the best class
he was not troubled with any reference to his
bill until near the close of the season. His bill
was presented; he took it to his room, and that
was the last that any one in the hotel ever saw
of him. The trunk was left apd proved to be
Mrs. Lancaster's. 1t has been forwarded to her.
Everything was in it that she had putin it four
months before in Boston The young man had
removed the check and lived on the appearances
of the trunk and alligator bag during the sum-

SPECIAL POSTAL DELIVERY.

The System Not Very Successful at Present,
but Better Things Are Expected.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 9.-Reports from the va
rious offices in which the special delivery service
has been established show that thus far it has
not been used by the general public to any great
extent, and that the boys who have been en-
ployed to carry special delivery letters have not
earned to exceed a few cents day, and in many
instances have been positive losers. through the
fact that they have been compelled to pay car
fare. In the city Of Washington. for instance,
one boy who has been at the work since the
service was established now. for more than 4.
week, has been able TO earn in that time only
81. &C. and in several instances he has expended
ten cents for car-fare for each letter delivered.
It was thought at the time when the service was
established that the boys would frequently have
several letters TO deliver in locality, and that
they would be thereby gamers 1t is a fact.
however, that boys thus far employed have had
but one letter to deliver, and then only at con-
siderable period apart One trouble has been

worth to permit the slightest leakage at the
Government Printing Office. Only two copies
of the Presidents message, one for each press
association, will be printed this year. The type
setting and press-work on the message will be
performed by Public Printer Rounds Foreman
of Printing Bryan, and two clerks in Mr..
