How TIE chicago Catnhsr was Discovered.
Chia&p Trssass
The following story Is told upon Always
There Sufciife, the Chicago goodlooking
and effective young catcher Of the Chicago
team: Some tine shout the middle Of last
season, Anson Williamson, and lot of the
biliardists Of the Chicago team were play
ing pyramid pool in the Lake City when
Sutchffe appeared among them. He was
then tall, ungsinly looking lad Of bucolic
appearance, and when he asked for ball it
was given to him in about the same manner
that 9 threecard-monte player gives one the
TIP and then Reeces the holder. In this
case, however, Sutclife refused to be taken
in. he beat the Chicsgos at their own
game, and made such an impression that all
hands calculated:
You're quite pool player"
"Yes," the rural youth drsvled in reply;
"but that amt my game al the samee."
1T amt" said Arson. "Well, what is,
then3"
"Why, base ball" said Sutcliffe.
Then he told the boys what q catcher he
was, and Just to get even they asked him
over to the ball grounds. Reaching there,
they sent him behind the bat, and then Or
dered Goldsmith and Cocorsn to 60 in and
kill him. They wore their arms out trying,
and what was worse, Suteliffe refused to
wear mask, and merely smiled when told
that Ay tip might hit him In the jaw and
break il, or knock out an eye, or something
else; and his whole demeanor was such that
Anson determined to engage him instanter.
He asked Sutelihe how much pay he want
ed and the latter replied that 81 9 day
would be about the right thing. Later his
salary was raised, and nov, ike plenty Of
other professionals, he rates bis services at
fancy figure.

EcDemocrsct should take it for granted
today that Judge JEFFERs is going to be
reelected without his vote. Remember
the Thirty-F Fourth Illinois Districts Demo
cratic wreck, and all because the voters
relied upon their strength and did not vote.
The REGISrER does not say such trick

Is the use of throwing temptation in the way

HUMAN ideas of justice are strange and
Inconsistent The old man, CHAEtEs WAR
RES, who was recently arrested in Lsmpss-
sas county, Texas, and placed in jail to
await the execution of sentence of death
used upon him twsnty,Eour years ago, has
been pardoned by the Governor. 1t will be
recoIlected that only few days ago certain
county officials represented to acting Gov
ernor GIBBS that WARREN was an escaped
prisoner, and asked that reward be offered
for his capture. The reward was offered,
and the shrswd officers, who knew just
where to find their man, brought him in.
The acting Governor declared with inAexi-
bic Roman sternness that WARREN would
have to suffer punishment; that the fact Of
his escape and hiding out for tWenty-tour
years was no reason why he should escape
the judgment Of the court. When Governor
IRELASD resumed his duties he took differ
emit view. 1t seemed to him that WARRES's
good behavior during the past quarter Of
century was an offset to the crime commit
ted in hot blood in the days Of his youth.
Hence the pardon.

DECORATION Day is likely to be generally
observed in this city. The banks all pro-
pose to close and many business houses talk
the same way. There appears to be more
interest manifested heresbouts on the sub
jcct this year than any preceding year for
some time back. This is q good sign.
Another good sign is the general disposition
on the part Of the G. A. R. organizations
in many sections this year to take into fell
lowship ex-Confederste soldiers. This is as
il should be. A household of brethren
who have commended one against
the other in bitter strife and
subsequently have broken bread together
in peace, do not wish to nurse any spirit of
resentment after lapse of twenty years.
IF therefore, an invitation were offered to
the resident ex-confederste soldiers in this
city to Join in the celebration of the day and
have the decoration include the graves Of
both the blue and the gray, it would indeed
be great day nobly aAd worthily cele-
brRfed

A Correspondents Question.

WHEELING, W. Va, May 27.-Hss it
come to this, that our City Board of Public
Works can when asked, refuse to give res-
sons to Council for rejecting bids Of respon'
sible contractors for city work and awarding
it to higher bidder1
From the letter accompanying the report Of
his honor the Mayor to Council on Tuesday
night last, it would appear that the Board
claims the power. Whatever may be the
merits of the case, such action was injurious
to the reputation of the contractors, whose
bid was rejected, and disrespectful to Coun-
ell, who represent the taxpayers of the city.
Whither are we drifting2 "TAxPAYERs."

JuDGE JEEFERS has made an efficient
officer. For two terms he has filed the
ofice of municipal judge ably and salts
fsciorily. The Office is one, above all others,
that appeals to the common sense Of the
community. The way for that sentiment
to be practically expressed is for the voters
to turn out en- masse and vote. There is q
loan ordinance also that is very important
and which should not be overlooked.

Chicks That Came Near Being Snakes.
g., E-,.ns,.o Cb,ooisl.

We had good breed of hens, and were
right proud Of them. Two were splendid
hatehers, Giddy and Golly. You may laugh
at the names, but they were given BY pet
sister. They were handsome creatures. and
never Matched less than fifteen out of six
teen eggs. One day my brother grsvely in
formed me that he had seen big snake in
q corner of the barn, and we set out to hunt
the snake. Aswe neared the place there
seemed to be an unusual commotion among
the hens, and Giddy and Golly were vociter-
sting on the edge Of their respective nests.
Then we were sure that the snake had been
brewing trouble, and forthwith searched the
barn until we found it Pinning it by the
head in its corner, cut it open, and there
were thirteen of Golly's big white eggs, still
warm and comfortable. They were at once
transferred to the nest making Golly hap
py over her recovered treasures. Well, the
thirteen eggs that had been in the snakes
nav were every one Matched.
