The region around Plainfield, Ind. is
very rich in relics of the Mound Builders
and of later Indians, and almost every
week some farmer brings into town a
collection of stone implements, rude or
naments and pieces of ancient pottery
which have been dug up on his farm.
The most recent discovery was that of an
immense spear head of slate, which must
have been welded by some giant of pre-

"THE KEEPSAKE"
Miss Ensler's New Play in Which She II
to Star Next Season.


to Star Next Season.
The story of Miss Ellsler's new play, 1.-THE
Keepsake is as follows: Christine Leroy,
called in the original Antoinette Kigaud,
played by Miss Ellsler, the part in France
having been in the hands Of Nine. Baretta,
is pretty young woman VINO has married
as matter of duty, NJ. Jules Leroy Frank
Weston), manufacturer. Her brother,
Philippe de Carlnont (E. r. Vanderfet). is
brave young orderly officer of General de
Prefond Ct. c. Bangs, and in love with
the latter's daughter, Marcelle Miss
May Walcott), who reciprocates. Before
tho play opens Christine has been imprudent
enough to enter into desperate affair
lidison in the original-with Robert LANDER
tin walden Ramsey, painter The
pieces IN evidence and which give rise to
all the complications, anxieties, misunder-
standings and suspicious of the plot, are a
miniature portrait of Christine by LANDER
tin which she has, and lot of letters which
he possesses.
When the action opens Lambertin is at
General de Prefond's, painting that
worthy's portrait. Christine is school
friend of Marcelle de Prefond, and as her
husband is detained at Tours On jury duty,
has come to spend the day with her. As
soon as she sees the painter she demands
her letters and their return is promised.
Then she pleads with the General for Phil
ippe and Marcelle, but he refuses to con-
sent to their marriage, as his wife before
dying made him promise never to let their
daughter marry a military man.
That night, when Christine is about to
retire, Lambertin enters her room by WIN
dow with her corn promising letters Her
husband, having returned sooner than ex-
pected, raps on the door. Lambertine is
secreted and the husband sent to sleep else
where on account of an alleged indisposi-
ton OF mis- wife Lambertin is gotten out
into the hall, but finds all the doors locked
He rushes through Narcotics room and
jumps from window into the park. All
would have been right did not the General
learn from servant the next morning that
a man had left his daughters room at nj ht.
Marcelle does not deny it, and Leroy, as
well as the servant, had seen him. The
General suspects that 1t is Philippe, the
sutton he refused.
Philippe denies having been the man. but
the servant brings the General the medal
lion of Christine, which he has just found
in the park Philippe recognizes it, and as
his sister looks at HIM beseechingly, he I'M
derstands that it is Lambertin who has
dropped it. He saves his sister by stating
that after all he was the man The Gen
erai Is about TO force Philippes reSigna-
ton, When Christine tells hIn what she
does not want her husband to know. The
General then rewards Philippe for the sac
ritice by giving him his daughter. Such Is

ITS SWAY STILL POTENT.
A Fourth of July Attendance which Proves
That Baseball Is, Ever, tho Leading


A Fourth of July Attendance which Proves
That Baseball Is, AS Ever, tho Leading
Sport.
The attendance this year at the League
and Associations games was the largest
ever known in the annals of base ball for a
Fourth of July in the " est and in the minor
leagues also the attendance was extremely
good, showing that the game has lost none
of It's intrinsic popularity as the National
sport, and that the gradual fall-off in attend
ancc during the season so far has been due
TO causes other than dissatisfaction with
the game itself. A close estimate shows
that 5000 people witnessed the fourteen
League and Association games PLAYED on
Independence Day-44 600 for the League
and about 81 coo for the Association. The
Philllcs at Chicago proved the best attrac-
ton, no less than 10000 persons paving fifty
cents each to see them play. The New
ork GLIB drew l4,000 persons IN two games
at Detroit, and the Athletic club called out
1900 people to see two games at st. Louis.
In the Central League 1900 people paid
to witness the two Newark Jersey City
games, and about 1900 saw the games of
the other clubs, a total Of p, 600 In the In
ternalonal Association the attendance was
extraordinary, in proportion to the size of
luS CiIlCS. syracuse turned out o,UUu. Troy
and Albany 5000. Buffalo Il, 900 and Roches-
ter 5000, a total OF 5000. In the New
England League 1000 people witnessed the
six games piayed-a strong showing, in
deed. In the South affairs were in stdtu quo,
owing to the uncertainty attending the
affairs Of the Southern and Texas Leagues,
and from the West the returns at this
writing are not all in. But the Western
Association certainly shosld have done as
well as the Central League and the Tri-
State League IN the aggregate, as weil as
the International Association, which ADDS
5000 70 the count, or IN round numbers
about 2Oo,0o0 people who paid TO witness the
various professional games. If statistics
could be secured Of the attendance at the
countless seTni-professional anu amateur
games all over this broad land on the Ma
ton 5 natal day, the figures would doubtless
be swelled to-a clear haIf-million. Truly
great Is sport that possesses such ab-
sorblng fascination for such vast multi

notch on Anson's colts 1t can be depended
on that when they come here for four games.
including one postponed, the Detroits will
down them. The ChicagoS have no longer
the terror for the Detroits that they had
To be sure they play sharp, tricky game,
but they have 20 pitcher who can puzzle the
Detroits as Clarkson did Their right
handed pitchers we can hit freely, and,
while Van Ealtren will occasionally puzzle
them, before the season is out the sluggers
will slaughter Mr.. Van. They have done it
before and they viii do it again
Various baseball oracies affect to believe
that the Detroits can not WIN because they
are deficient in fielding and base-running
These wise people could learn by looking at
the figures that the Detroits lead the
league both in batting and fielding The
fact is they are just as sharp in feldin as
any club in the league and good deal
more reliable. AS TO base-running, they
don't have to; they can knock each other
around. II the otherclubs IN the league could
hit foot ball half as well as the Detroits
do baseball, their owners would be happy
and have nothing to say whatever about
any alleged deficiency in base-runniDg. In
the b>Se-running teams like Philadelphia
and Chicago they have to do it, because
PLAYER who reaches first knows that in
large majority Of cases it depends on HIM
self to reach second, as there is no alarm
ing probability of the batter knocking him
around Thus they are obliged to take
chances. In the case of the Detroits, the
chances are all in favor of man who has
reached first being batted to second,
and hence, unless the case is desperate,
there is no use risking a put-out. With
Richardson, Brouthers, Thompson, Rowe,
White or Twitchell at bat and no one out,
I'll wager that Ward, Fogarty or any of the
sprinters would stand quietly at first and
wait for the base hit that was almost sure
to come.

Thaddeus 3. Wakeman, one Of the lead
ers of the Progressive Labor party in the
revolt against Henry George last fall, has
come out foD Harrison. Mr.. Wakeman is
well-lnown lawyer and last fall was the
candidate of the Progressive Labor party
for Attorney-GeneraL he said recently
that he felt confident that most of the
Progressivcs would vote the Republican
ticket next November
No formal party action has been taken"
he said, although there Is still al executive
committee in existence. with power to call
a convention. The majority of the party
seem to think, however. that the leading
issue this fail is the question Of protection,
and they believe that they can do more
effective work in that cause by quistly
working for the Republican ticket this year
than through d separate party orgauizn-
ton.
The Prcgressives are not, in any sense,
free-traders They made al emphatic pro-
test last fail against Mr. Georges free
trade and siugie:tax nonsense, and they
Will vote against his present candidate, Mr..
Cleveland. The Anarchists VIII, almost
without exception, vote for free-trade, for
that is right IN the line Of their attack upon
the Government. Bat the Socialists and
the more conservative labor mon arc alike
in favor Of protection. The Progressives,
who are mainly Socialists, are bitterly OPP
posed TO free trade
The Progressive Labor party poued seven
thousand votes last fail, but their canvass
was instrumental in turning many more
than that number away from henry George,
the free trade candidate. Most OF the mem
bers Of the party are Of foreign birth and
they do not want any European scale of
wages introduced into this country.

The old man always constructs criticism
of his men as personal to himself. His

"Anson is hard MASTER" said Fred
Pfeffer recently, g but I've no fault to find.
His discipline is ths salvation of the Chica-

I'm friendly to Kel and he knows it, but il
Nike had defied Arson as he did Morrill, he
would have been suspended and fined two
hundred dollars. Arson never lets any
player think his services are Indispensable
to the Chicago club He SAID to me once:
Il never let any player think l can't get
along without him.. 1t IS a rulnous policy
to play stars in ball club. The minute
one man is favored the others become jeal-
GUS 1t takes Arson about three years to
find out whether he can trust a new player
under all temptations. When he discovers
that the colt doesn't require any watching
Arson is the kindest and most tolerant
captain ia the profession. He will continue
to be bluff in manner and ironical in speech,
but the man VINO enjoys his confidence can
do virtually as he pleases. Therefore, say
the Chicago club IS, without exception, the
very best organization with which player
