DIDN'T WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
But the BOYS Had Lots Fun of When They
Went to ST. Louis.

Says st Louis correspondent: Mike
Kelly, the Chicago catcher, has more
friends in ST. Louis than you can shake
stick at. The people like him because
he plays to win, and he is the hardest
man to rattle that Latham ever got hold
of. When the crowd would yell and boot
at Mike he just smiled and closed his
left lamp. He was down town with
crowd the other night and some one
adorned his back with sign that read:
This man got $500 for not stopping
wild pitch Instead of getting mad and
Wanting to thrash the joker, Mike only
laughed and thought it was one on him
Mike is joker himself, and never allows
an opportunity to play joke on
friend to pass. Chief Lindsay, of the
Fire Department, hitched his horse in
front of the Young Mems Christian As
sociation building the other day, and
Mike and Williamson, on coming out
'spied the old man, and, being old &C
quaintances of his, asked him if they
could get in the buggy and drive down
the street for a couple of blocks. The
chief did not refuse them, as matter of
course, and the two Chicagoans, to-geth
er with one of the Browns, got into the
buggy. The brown-hosed comp anion took
hold of the lines, Kelly secured the whip,
and Williamson looked after the gong
mot chestnut gong either)th was fas-
tened to the dashboard of the vehicle.
The horse is one of those ''git-up. and
git" plugs, and when Kelly hit him
slash across the back with the whip, and
Williamson commenced to ring the
gong, he started down the street as if t'ls
whole town was on fire and he was oblig-
ed to get some where or other in a very
short time He fairly flew; the Brown
Stocking lad held on to the lines, and Kelly
to the side Of the buggy, and William
son kept up the music with the gong.
People left the back part of their stores
and came out in front to see the hose car
riage (as they supposed) pass, and pedes
trians flew for their lives. The black
charger kept up his break-neck speed
until the river front was reached, and
in turning a corner, he looked over his
shoulder and smiled at the three now
thoroughly frightened occupants of the
buggy, and thought it would be good
chance to upset the boys in the street,
but couple of big policemen got in
front of him and spoiled his fun and saw
ed the three baseball players lives. You
can't get Williamson or Kelly within a
mile of an engine house now.

The voice broke like a sob across the
stiffness, and the faithful friend pressed
close to his masters side. The strong
men who had faced death so unflinching-
ly all day quivered and shrank before
this new phase. Orphee looked longing
iy into the dying face as the white lips
murmured of by-gone days, of baby
hands and tender wifely kisses.
Miss Anna,'" the voice began again,
weakly, ''the boys all know and love her,
and then, suddenly recollecting, he turn
ed his eyes on the manly, bearded faces
around him and noticed their moist ewes;
then, with the old frank smile of appre-
citation, he muttered: dying tonight,
dying tonight. Sing it, Orphee."
The river rushed and sang, and the wind
sighed airily through the sorrowful pines,
but distinct and clear rose the voice of
Orphee, that sweet, high tenor, thrilling
with tears and pathos. It quivered and
fell as it reached the chorus, and the
dying tonight" was sobbed out on his
knees as he held the poor, cold hands
close to his breast. The wounded man
turned on the rough floor, the surgeons
desisted from their work, and one little
fellow, his breast shot to pieces, crossed
himself involuntarily, stirred by the sor-
rowful sweetness.
Again Parsons spoke:
"Be good boys to Miss Anna No
better, truer sweetheart could you find.
Say with me now, God bless Miss Anna"
And we said it with him.
Amen" he answered, solemnly, and
with spasm of pain he was lying there.
smiling tenderly, as of old, with "Miss
Anna" close to his breast
"And Miss Anna?'" asked the host.
''Was shot down in the first charge the
next morning"
There was silence for a few minutes,
and then Harrison ruised his glass and
looked around. In an instant the glasses
were refilled, and with reverentIy bowed
heads and hushed tones, the whole room
drank to the memory of ''Miss Anna"

OYERMORKING THE BRAIN.
Brain Workers Should Have a Large Reserve
of Energy exhaustion.
Youths Companion

Youths Companion.
Our article is suggested by one in The
Lancet on "The Wear and Tear of Lon
don Life" and we shall appropriate some
of its thoughts. Brain work, even in its
highest forms, involves purely physical
acts as truly as does that of the muscles
of the stomach. Excessive thought
means crebral hyperamia as inevitably
as excess in the use of gastric stimu-
liant means active congestion of the
mucous membranes of the stomach, and
just as habitual use of too irritating food
and drink may induce passive congestion
in the intervals, or the sequel of active
congestion of the gastric organ, so may
too persistent and excessive brain work
tend to the production of a chronic en-
gorgement of the vessels of the enceph-
alon" (the brain), with whatever the
physical fact involves or entails"
A perfect similarity of law governs the
development OF disorders of brain and
body. Now, as some have inherited a
weak muscular system, and others a
feeble digestion, SO still others, perhaps
in some respects brilliant, have con-
genital inability for considerable or
prolonged brain work, and are almost
sure to be injured by a continued strain.
The times demand IN this country, even
more than in England, that brain workers
should have large reserve of energy,
and capacity for producing force almost
indefinitely to meet the demands of ex-
ceptional exigencies. In our country
many enter the professions who are ma
turally equal to routine work, but are
wholly unequal to strains of com petition
and to the multiplied and varied demands
which so characterize our times. They
constantly and perilously strike the limits
of their congenital capacity.
It is equally SO in mercantile. Not a
few, who are equal to a small business.
find out that they are not equal to a
large one only after both physical and
financial failure. 1t is only less so in
sands attempt more than they are equal
to, the continual pressure of which results
in nervous exhaustion. Somewhat akin
to these are teachers III our common
schools. The early stages OF every pro
fession and business make peculiar de-
mands on the nervous force. And yet
thousands enter the teaching profession
who do not intend to remain in it. They
stay just long enough to overwork, and
to be injured, IN many cases for life. So
also, our political system constantly
brings forward new men who must fit
themselves for new and difficult duties
at an immense cost to the brain. The
physical condition of some of our public
men is simply prominent illustration of
this fact.

The Texas CalmitY.

Advices from the towns on the coast of
Texas inundated during the storm few
days ago show that the calamity is even
worse than first reported. Measures for
the distressed are being actively pushed
at Houston, Galveston and other cities.
Members of he local committee say the
calamity grows with each hour. All
tidings from the devastated region make
the disaster far greater and more dis
tressing than was at first thought pos
sible. Mr.. Lasker, of the committee, was
one of the Thousand or more who fed for
| their lives the night of Galveston's great
fire. He also recently visited the drought
stricken districts of Northwest Texas,
but declares that neither of these calami-
ties compares in point of suffering and
distress with what he Witnessed at Sabine
Pass and Johnson's Bayou. The Mayor
of Orange telegraphed the Mayor of Full
ton asking for assistance to care for the
survivors who are crowding into that
place. The City Council appropriated
$780,
A dispatch from Orange says: 'sThe
steamer Lamar returned here last even
ing from Sabine Pass with go additional
sufferers, one-half of whom will 60 to
Beaumont as soon as transportation can
be obtained. The balance will rem AIN
here in care of the local relief commit
tees. Ten additional bodies had been
| found up to noon yesterday. The relief
committees of Orange have exhausted
all their supplies and funds. The
sufferers are constantly coming in.
! The relief committees have $50 now in
| their charge, and $50 more were expected
last night from Johnson's Bayou. Unless
more relief comes Immediately great dis

The Friendly Oyster.
baltimore American.

The oyster is again in our midst. The
oyster is a good thing to have in ones
midst. It creates a feeling Of comfort
and content, and answers completely the
old question as to whether or not life is
worth living. There may be better
aquatic things than the oyster, but their
names are not known. The gentle biv-
alive is the very essence of goodness.
The oyster is mankind's friend. 1t is
as modest as it is useful. In its youthful
days it afixes itself to an object. and
stays there until com pelled to leave. 1t
does not visit or CAD about, or go on
excursions. It sticks closer to its perch
than politician to sinecure. All 1t
does is to be there and get fat. AS the
tides pass by it opens its mouth and
takes in whatever of nutriment the cur
rents bring it. It is the picture of otlum
cum dignitate. For months and months
it stores away the succulence OF the
salted seas. Then some frosty morning
it Jumps into a dredge and leaves Its
watery home. 1t comes to the city, takes
I'D its residence in the raw box, and when
sable gentleman with knife threatens
to cut its throat it comes out of It's shell,
crawls upon the prongs Of fork, and
after passing through yawning cavern
takes a last, long dive into some human
depth from which no traveller returns. Its
little life is gone, but the man who takes
it utters benediction and calls for
another half-dozen.

The following are the biographies of
Chicago's new battery next year; Harry
I. P yle, pitcher, was born in Reading,
Pa. in 1862, and first played ball in 1882
with the Actives, of Reading, Pa. In 19-
SO he signed with the Wilmingtons. of
Wilmington, Del. He pitched in nearly
every game the club played that season
and made a great record In 1884 he
signed with the Lancaster club. The
greatest game he pitched with that club
was in Newark, against the Newarks.
Fifteen innings were played and the score
stood L to in favor of the visitors. In
1885 he signed with the Virginias, of
Richmond, where he and Kimber brought
the club to the top of the league. The
club was forced to disband through the
want Sf proper support and Manager
Hackett signed him with Newark for
1886. Harry never gets ratified and
pitches IN excellent form. He is a great
EASTER" and never weakens no matter
how hard he is batted. He is about s
feet inches high and weighs about 1s5
pounds.
Thomas P. DAILY, catcher, was born in
Philadelphia in 1885. He first played
ball in 1884 in the Somerset club, of Phil
adelphia, and the Milville club, Of Mil
vile, n. j. as catcher. He was consider
ed first-class player even at the early
day. In 1885 he signed with the Meriden
club of Meriden, Conn. He caught for
them until the club disbanded last year,
when he came to Newark. His work Le-
hind the bat is of a superior order, and
he Is rapidly developing into thorough
ly reliable player. de is considered a
first class base-runner. His hight 5 feet

When the Meriden club disbanded in 1885
Manager Hackett made d strong effort to
secure DAILY and Flynn for one of the
Newark batteries, but one succeeded in
DAILY. They will be found together in
Chicago next season.
