No Money in Base Ball.

''There is no money in base ball
nowadays" said j. f. Allen. one of
the Directors Of the Providence Club,
at the recent base ball meeting in this
city. 1.-THE time was when man who
put his money into 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 years ago.
and had no opposition, salaries were
low, and a player who received $1,000
for his seasons work did we'll. 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 tried to
outbid tho other. When the two or
CARNATIONS formed what is known rs
the National Agreement the clubs re-
tanned their players ut the same sala-
ries.
Several other associations were then
organized in different parts of the
country and were admitted under the
protection of the national agreement.
This served to make good players, es-
pecially pitchers, scarce and forced
salaries up still higher, until at the
present time a 6rst-class pitcher will
not look at a manager for less than
SO, 500 for season. RadbOurne, Of last
years Providence Club, received the
largest amount of money that has ever
been paid to ball player. His won
derful pitching. which won the cham
pionship for the club. cost about IS, 900,
as he did the work of two pitchers and
received the pay Of two.
''Somc of the salaries which base
ball players will get next season are

REFRESHING Genus.

The whirligig of journalism, like
everything else, makes a change, and
the style which used to make the whole
city shudder now falls. il it ever gets
up, like the "thud' which long be-
came obsolete. Now and then a new
reporter flashes up and undertakes the
old style of some worn out and tired
out and played out brother who. in his
day, was called the ''craek reporter Of
the staff" The descriptive man is do
ing space work on a weekly or maya

ambitions of IA young man who had
meant well enough, although | did

A Bit OF History.

Tho reign Of George Ill. of England
was the most openly dissOlute period
in the history Of Great Britain. Cab
met ministers slept under the wine
table, the head OF the church was
swollen with excessive drink, and the
duke Of Grafton, accompanied by wo-
men of most disreputablc character.
visited the theatre, Haunting the hand
kerchief of vile perfume in the faces
of honest people. 1t is related by
George Otto Trevelyan that one day
the King remarked to one of his favor
ties:
"They tell me, Sir John. that you
are fond of a glass of wine."
"Your informers have done me
great Injustice" replied Sir John.
"They should have said bottle. your
majesty"
1t was then that govt attained its
highest degree of perfection. A man
who did not wear split shoe was only
under protest admitted into the circles
of polite society. A "buck" of forty

There was a difference between him

Mexican OutraZeS.

Murders and Outrages at the hands
of Mexiccn bandits follow in quick
succession on the Texas frontier, says
an Austin telegram to The NeW York
Ucraii, and the maruders, having ac-
complished either their deeds Of blood
or their wholesale rObberies, cross
over the Rio Grandc. and are sccurt
under Mexican law from the punish
ment the courts of this state would inl-
pose. Gov. Ireland has written several
letters Of complaint To the department.
at Washington. nut still killing and
rapinc go on unchecked. until now
there seems no protection for the peO-
pie of this section at the hands of the
federal authorities. The latest report
Of murder and robbery comes form
Garlic Springs this forenoon, and. rs
usual. the outlaws took shelter on the
other side Of the Rio Grande. The
people Of that section are now up in
arms. prepared to defend their lives
and their property from further raids.
Trouble is feared. and in view Of that
fact Gov. Ireland tonight dispatched
the adjutant general Of the state to
the scene. Gen. King takes force of
Texas rangers along with him to pre-
vent bloOdsheSi, and. il possible. to
bring some of the more daring
criminals that infcst the border to
speedy justice.
Your correspondent saw the gov
ernor late this evening and he said.
with marked emphasis: 1--WE are, now
determined to protect ourselves, and
no nice distinctions of international
law shall stand in the way Of it. These
Mexican depredations must cease.
Men and women are killed by these
desperadOes on the bor,lcrin cold blood
anu their property stolen before their
eyes. but we are prevented by the alb
sencc of a treaty to reach the murder
ers. President Arthur has been advis-
ed of this fact. have been cores
pOnding with Secretary Frelinghuysen
for many months on the subject, but
all to no purpose. Now that the fed
eral government has failed to give re-
lief, Texas will hereafter defend its
citizens along the Rio Grandc, even II
it takes every man in the state and ev-
cry dollar in the treasury to do So"
These bold words of Gov. Ireland are
full Of significance, and fOreshadOw
the policy which the adjutant general
will pursue. Texas, as one man. will
sustain the governor. and even should
difficulty arise with Mexico. which
can hardly be avoided now, this state
is ready and able to take care Of itself.
Lively times on the border are now
certain, and if crash or collision Oc-
ours the authorities at Washington
will be held to strict account. The cor
respondencc between Gov. Ireland
and them will probably be published.

A Preacher in Court.

In the early days of primitive
MethOdism, under the labors of one Of
our veteran missionaries, Il VIGOROUSLY
bad character got converted. Quite
in harmony with the custom of those
times. he soon began preaching. On
one occasion he had large crowd Of
people gathered by the wayside, and
to these he preached furiously. An
oilicious policeman came up and took
our friend into custody. The news
spread like wildtrc that old Tom was
locked up for preaching. Had it been
said that it was for poaching no one
would have doubted it, but his preach
ing gave quite different character to
the affair. On the following morning
the court was crowded to hear the
trial. The charge was read over, and
the prisoner asked what he had to say
in reply. Now this man had been in
that dock so often that he did not feel
ut all concerned; he seemed quite at
home. Very quietly folding his arms,
he addressed the magistrate to the
following effect:
''Gentlcmen, do you mean bus
iness?"
business! business! Of course we
do"
"Wcll. gcntlcme n, please excuse me;
but il you mean business. allow me to
say that Of late a great change has
come over me. and | never now com.
mcnce any business without first pray
ing about it; il you please. well pray"
lie did not wait to know whether
they pleased or not, but with all the
fervor of new convert poured out his
soul in prayer. All in the court and
on the magistrates bench were deeply
moved, and some to tears. But he
prayed rather long, and. good rs it
was. they thought he might now close;
SO the presiding magistrate said in an
undertOne:
THAT will do; just stop him."
The officer, shaking our friends
sleeve, said. "Stop;" but he prayed
away. Pulling his sleeve yet more
vigorously. he said, "Stop man. stop"
but he prayed with increasing fcrvor.
One of the magistrates saw one of
our preachers in the body Of the court,
and calling to him said, mir. -. you
come and stop him." But our dear
old brother enjoyed this novel prayer
meeting too much to be induced to
stop it; SO he replied loud enough for
all to hear:
"Nay, nay. you've started him; !
can't stop him."
However, our friend in the dock
drew his devotions to a close, stood
upon his feet, and, again folding his
arms. said with becoming meekness:
snow, gentlemen. If you please. l
an, quite ready for business.
The prisoner was ordered into the
ante-rOom while the case was cOnsid-
cred.
One of the magistrates. moved to
tears. said:
I'VE have often had this man before
US, hut never under such circumstances.
If this is a sample of the work achiev-
ed by the labOrs of the Primitive
Methodists, wish them success wher-
ever they CO."
ut did not take them long to de-
eide that he had broken no law, and
therefore they would very gladly acquit
him.
"Well. gentlemen" said an officer
of the court, '.shall we call him in and
say he is acquitted?"
s'What? what! call him in! No,
never. or you'll have him on his knees
returning thanks. Let him 60 out at
a side-door, but tell him he is fully ut
liberty to carry on his good work.
