Changes That VIII BE Made at the

The excellent showing that the Wash

southern trip has raised the hopes of the
numerous admirers of the national game
in this city as to the standing the
statesmen will have while battling for the
League pennant. That the estimate formed
of the present team does not bring 1t to
the standard desired is pretty well known,
but at the same time no hasty Judgment
should he formed as to the Statesmen's
abilities From the tclcgraphic reports 1t
would appear that jewels of the first water
have been found in Hoy and Wilmot, and
that the older members of the team have
taken a new lease of life from these two
ambitious youngsters exertions, as they
each and all are playing good ball. No
better exhibition of ball playing has been
shown this season than that given by the
Senators, and due praise should be ac-
corded them for their efforts

EXTENSIVE MEAT RAISER.
one Man Attempts to Clean Out the
Market House.


There was nothing slow about James H.
Wright yesterday afternoon as he entered
the Center Market. He looked like well
to-do man with mind intent on paying
for what he wanted TO get. He worked
strongly ON the good nature of g. J. Kill
liam, who was willing enough to sell out
his stall to him. Wright had different
idea, however, and that was to get what
ever he wanted and not pay anything for
it, Mr.. Killian soon discovered that fact
as his eye detected l3-pound piece of beef
missing. Twenty minutes later Mr..
Wright had made name for himself and
nobody was more anxious to make his
I'm few minutes Officer Mike" Brcen got
equally as eager. There was reason
for it. Enoch Moreand wanted
his chicken, w. +, Hunt
could not stand the loss of seven pounds
or choice corncd beef. Perry Riley missed
chickens also, and Louis Scheuch knew
that he did not get his money for the
choice, juicy, four-pound steak that had
been taken under his eye. There were
cuscd the same individual of getting them.
"Breen," said Mckay, I'VE must get that
beef raiser or there will be paralysis in
business"
The officers made good time from one
end of the market to the other, and soon
Mckay espied man with u much
spread-out coat. They got their man just
as he was making away with a small
ham.
Wright, when searched, was found to be
walking green grocery store He said
nothing, but acted like an individual who
was making big preparations for supply
ing boarding house. If he had been let
alone few minutes longer he would have
created panel in the market house. Last
night he slumbered well on an iron bench
in a cell at the lst precinct station-house
notwithstanding the five charges of petit
larceny against him.
