BASE BALL LINGO.
How 1t Was Translated BY an Hone
Milesian Workman.

How 1t Was Translated BY an Honest
Milcsian Workman.
The other noon two of the crew of
old men employed by the board of pub
lie works to clean the streets, were eat
ing their cold bite on the curbstone at
Michigan avenhe and First street. Ono
Of them handed a portion of a news
paper to the other and said:
''Read me about the game of base
ball. My son Johnnie is just wild over
1t, and 1 want to see what it is that ear
ries the boy away" =
The other took the paper, located the
account Of the game and read:
"Getzein's work in the box has sell
dom been excelled."
..In the box? What did they have a
man in a box for? If a man in a box,
can play base ball then a man in a chair
can scrape off the pavement"
81 suppose it means he was in a cage,
out the paper calls it a box to case up
his feelings $. Let me read on:
"Deasley hit up a fly for Deacon
White to corral"
''What kind of a f1y?"
cit doesn't say. 1t may have been a
horse-fy which was bothering Mr..
Deasley."
"And what does corral mean?"
''Corral jewelry, of course. Let me
..Welch's corker was taken in by.
Hanlon, and"
"Stopm said the old man, as he
waved a piece of cold meat in the air.
s'Welch had u corker, did he?" /!
"He did" So. .s
"And Hanlon took it in?"
"That's what it says"
"And did the referee give the match
to Welch?"
'.It don't say, but if it was London
rules he had to. I saw a chap get a
corker at the Knockout the other night,
and he fell like a goldfish"
every well; read on"
'.Richardson hit a grounder and Get
zein beat it to the plate. Thompson
sent ~
''stop again! What's a grounder?"
"It's a blow below the belt"
"And that man Getzein was the same
chap they had in a cage at the start?
Who let him out. and what for?" +.
"Im givingyou what the paper says,
and here's more of it:
Grove sent up a pop fly, which Con-
nor mut1ed, Thompson going to" q
"Stop again! Put that paper down
on the grass, and put a stone atop Of it,!
It's no wonder the whole country is
striking for eight hours work wild ten
hours pay when the newspapers have
gone crazy. The horse-tiy which was
bothering Mr.. Dcasley was all right, but
a pop fly is an animal I never. heard of
and won't give in to. Mr.. Connormust
have looked elegant dancing around:
wild a muff in his hands to bat a pop fly
over the head!"
'Butit's the game" -
"sIhen it's no wonder my boy JoAlny
comes home every base ball day wild a
pale face and a cramp in his stomach.
and that half of the men in Detroit pull
out a base ball score whenever you ask
'em the time O day, Mr.. WEIGH"
s.What is it, Mr.. O'Flynn?"
::Give me a light for me pipe and we
will talk Gaelic to each other. Base
ball is too much for us."-Detroa Free

CUTTING, the man about whom the
United States and Mexico are likely
to have Il war, was sentenced to one
years imprisonment, and$6O0. fine, by
IA Mexican judge.
AFFAIRS between this country and
Mexico have decidedly warlike ap-
pearance. The Mexican Government,
regardless of the demand of the United
States, assert their right to try a citi-
zen of this country in a Mexican court
for an offense committed in this coun-
try, which our government is not dis
posed to allow. Great excitement pre-
walls on both sides of the border, and
"a conflict of arms is liable to occur at
any time.
THE war has been over more than
twenty years. We have yet in vogue
the system of war taxes, and the Re-
publican party, as such, is hostile both
toward any measure looking to re-
duction of these taxes and to apply
their proceeds to the extinguishment
of the interest bearing debt.

1t is estimated that Mr.. TiIden died
worth about SIS. 900, but it is not now
known how the vast estate has been
disposed of. For several years Mr..
Tildeu had intended to bequeath his
beautiful city residence on Gramercy
park with its large collection of rare
and carefully selected books. to the
city, for public library. In his will
he has made ample provision for its
transfer to three trustees for the pur-
pose named. Messrs. John Bigelow,
of New York, Manton Marble, and
Henry Watterson, of Kentucky, are
the three trustees. The value of the
building alone is nearly 100000, and
the library is worth at the very least
81, 100000.
