The Milwaukee papers have commenced
claiming the earth again. The Wisconsin. in
its summary, claims that the Milwaukee
team won one of~the three games played up
to Thursday night. Reports that came to st.
Paul say that the Cream City team was badly
beaten in each of the three games.
st. Paul and Minneapolis are running a
neck-and neck race. The former has scored
three runs in three games and the latter
three in four games. Well, anyway, a series
between the two ought to be Interesting.
The Minneapolis High School club will
cross bats to-day with the Hamline college
boys at the Minneapolis league grounds. Best

Flour City boys, and the game will be called
at 5 O'Clock.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 4.-Mllwau-

brilliant game, easily defeating Kan
Sas City. The home team had McCarty,
who is supposed to be their 'crack''
pitcher, in the box, and the visitors
pounded him for sixteen hits. with a
total of twenty-one bases. The score
does not SHOW the extent to which Me
Carly was pounded, but it will be no
ticed that the most of the work was
done by the out field. The features of
the game was ShenkeFs playing. He
pitched Il great ball, fielded his position
greatly, and made clean home run to
right center. The Blues for the first
five innings were totally unable to solve
his delivery, but toward the latter part

OSHKOSH, Wis.,, May 4.-E. P. Sawyer,
in an interview to-day about the report
of his offer of S1,5e0 for the Omaha frau
chise, disclaimed any knowledge of any
negotiations such as represented. He
was inclined to the belief that the
rumors were started for the purpose of
influencing the Omaha public to turn the
sentiment there in favor of Sunday
games, so that an injunction putting a
stop to them on that day will not be pro-
cured by the opposition. In case, how
ever, Sunday playing is prohibited at
Omaha he thinks such thing as the
transfer of the team to Oshkosh is pos
sible, and he stated farther that in the
event of such an arrangement being
made he, for one, would be willing to
join a stock company and aid in sup
porting the nine.

Pecul1aritfes of Tigers


 One very curious point is the method in which the tigress teaches her cuBR Rte kill. This she does by disabling the animal At- tackled so that it cannot make it's escape from the cubs, who then complete the work. MT. Inverarity himself witnessed scene of this kind, or at least came on the spot just after it had been enacted, and when the marks were 50 fresh as to admit of the whole story being read at a glance. An old bull nilgai had been the victim, and the tigress had disabled him by breaking one of his right fore-legs just below the knee. She never touched his throat, the usual place of seizing, bat allowed the cubs to mangls the disabled brute. MT. Inverarity frightened the three tigers from the carcass and secured 6 photograph of it in it's then condition, showing how the throat had not been lacera- ted. He got second photograph next day alter the tigress and her brood had again visited the spot and completed their meal. In the end he succeeded in shooting the ti- gress and one of her cubs.
 MT InYerarity has number of other pho tographs, which show the appearance of ti- gers prey after the first meal. His experi- ence goes to-ehow that the animal first de- yours the hind-quarters, while if tiger and tigress are together the one eats at tne nlnd- quarters and the other at the fore-quarters. Again, when a tiger has not devoursd the whole carcass and returns to his kill the next night, he never eats at the same place, but drags of the remains of the carcass forty or fifty yards before beginning operations. Therefore sportsmen sitting over kill tic it by the forsleg to a tree. Otherwise the tiger would creep up and be off with it without stopping second.
 Mr. Iaverarity has timed tigers when at their meals and has found that full grown tiger takes two hours steady eating to finish the foreeuarters of q bullock. He dissipates the myth about the ''sledge hammer stroke of the forepaw of the tiger" showing that the tiger simply clutches with his claws ex- actly as a man might clutch aRother's arm with his fingers. He also gives variety of curious information about the immense dis tances tigers wander during the night; how they keep the jungle-roads and footpaths, avoiding the mere difficult tangled under- growth; how they are partial to dust bath on the roads, rolling about in it with evident satisfaction; how they do not like moving about in the heat of the day as the hot ground burns the pads of their feet and makes them quite raw; and how they are sometimes discovered sitting in pools of WA ter in the heat of the day.

 There has been any quantity of loose talk during the last few years about social prob lems, and some of it has been of dangerous character, because productive of false views about important matters. Lately there has been some effort to correct these false views by means of the presentation of facts whose existence has been too long ignored.
 One of the theories of some who call them selves social reformers has been that there has been and is altogether too much stun- earned inerementn for the good of society, and that this unearned increment really be- longs to others than those who have been so fortunate as to get it. But there is another side to the story, and side which is very well worth attention at this time. In an article in the current number of the Popular Science Monthly Joel Benton, Esq, considers the stEarned Decrease" in landed property as opposed to the 'unearned- increment" MT. Benton argues that if society is to be made responsible for the 'sunearned increment" !" then, as in the cooperative business plan, it should also shoulder the learned decrease" and make that square with those upon whose hands the land has fallen in value and who know nothing about any stincrement" what- ever. MT. Benton shows that while the city lot may grow in value phenomenally, and thus become source of wealth to it's owner, it does not do 50 even in majority of cases, the instances of the growth of the "unearnsd increment" being really the exceptions even among city land owners, while among the great mass of farmers throughout the country there is, in their business as in all other lines, an average of loss and failure which leaves large amount of learned decrease" to offset the "unearned increment" with, in great many sections, a large balance upon the losing side. All through the hill towns of New England, and generally east of the AlIeghany mountains, farms can be bought almost invariably for much less than the original cost of them plus the improvements, and few farmers having lived and toiled upon the land can then sell it for what they gave for it. In any scheme looking to an equalization of affairs this "earned decrease" must be provided for as much ae the ''un- earned increment, "and no one-sided arrange ment which does not take that consideration would be fair or equable.
 This is forcible and entirely fair. Many 8 man who reads it will heave a sigh and wish that society would shoulder his part of the learned decrease"

 The summer solstice comes on the 20th at 7h p. m., when the sun reaches his extreme point of northern declinatioR and summer reigns supreme in the north temperate zone. The summer solstice is the most interesting and suggestive of all the great time-marks, the culmipvtion of summer glory, the gala day in our zone of the power that rules the solar family, the day when his smiling face is turned directly on our domain, to be grate ful for the morning that witnesses his SIr- thest progress northward, for the moon that marks his highest meridian altitude for the evening when his beams finger longest above the western horizon. At the eliminating point of solar intensity the picture changes. Before the sun sinks below the horizon on the 20th his face will be turned from us, a fraction of light will be lost to the longest day, fraction of darkness will be added to the shortest night. However, the sun seems to stand still in the heavens for several days after the solstice, so, though the greatest in- tensity of the suns rays has passed, the heat garnered up by the process will still be man. ifest during the weeks that follow the sol- stice.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

It is said that bald-headed Indians are be- their best in times past to make white men bald, and they cannot fairly complain now if they become SO.
 In nine of our manufacturing States the laborers working under a protective system have in savings banks over thousand mill lions of dollars, while the vastly greater masses of workingmen in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, the whole United King dom, all working under ffSe trade, have less than four million dollars in savings banks.
 There is a good deal of talk about business depression, but it is estimated that 12 1000 miles of railroad will be built this year. Last year the mileage was nearly 13,000, which excslled any previous years record in rail- road construction. California, Georgia and Alabama witness the greatest development, while there has been great activity in Mis- souri, Kansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Texas.
 The government bureau of labor will have duties of the most general character. A commissioner is to be appointed by the Presi- dent, subject to approval by the Senate, to serve for four years-at salary of 5000. He will be provided with corps of clerks and stenographers, and is to investigate the state of labor in regard to capital, espe- cially looking into the condition of the workingman to learn of his wages, hours of labor and chances for material, mental and moral improvement.
 
 It is sometimes dangerous to put on airs where people know you. A newly appoint ed colored policeman entered a street car in Philadelphia. His uniform was spotless; his brass buttons shone brightly. and he carried himself with the air of a Spanish hidalgo. As he gazed around the car his glance fell upon an aged colored woman, who was car rying home great bag of clothes from the laundry. The recognition was mutual. 'sWhy, foh de Lordi" she exclaimed, joyous ly, eff dis aint Eli. Why, chile, sca'aely knowed ye. How you have growed. Is do ole man at de alnshouse yet. Eiir'
 The name of Theebaw, formerly king of Burrnah, has almost passed into oblivion so far as the general public is concerned. It has been revived in England, however, owing to an inquiry as to what has become of the treasure once possessed by Theebaw. When Mandalay was captured by Sir HsnryP Prender- gast in 1885 Theebaw's palace contained booty valued at twenty lalhs. Theebaw was permitted to take away with him few valn- able articles, but the larger part of his for tune was seized by the English. And now, after an interval of three years, certain in- auisitive Londoners are wondering what became of the rich spells which fell te the eonquerors.
 It is already evident that the Democrats are not going to have things to their liking in ! the Senate. The election in Oregon has pre-
 cluded all probability of working majority | for the Democrats. Should they retain all the States they now have and secure one more Democratic Senator in the place of Rid dleberger, they would only just equal the \ Republican Senators in number. In tha
 case, with the further condition of electinf their Vice President, the Democrats could
 control committees and in urgent cases de
