Pittsburg leads by very small fraction but the
clubs are so close that one game may change the
standing. The score In Chicago was II to p A
new man, named Byrnan, pitched to Daily for Chi

Candidates in the Fight.
CHICAGO, Jund 23.-The Daily -NetUs prints the
following letter from senator Ingalls,, received by
member OF the Kansas delegation in the repub-
lican convention:
VICR-PREsIDENT's CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON, June 16.
Yours OF the 18th at hand IL Goes not make
much difference who Is nominated, In my Judg-
ment. The candidates will cut but small figure
In the.hght. We can elect anybody, or we shall
fail The least conspicuous and, therefore, the
least complicated man Will be the best somebody,
like Hayes In 1876. Among all the men named there
Is not one "leader'-DO one whose personal or his
tOrical relations TO the people would make differ
erence OF 1000 votes In the canvass sherman,
Allison, Harrison, &C, have records that would be
awkward on the tarifl, the currency. the Chinese
question, &C. Depew's connection with rail-
roads and corporations would be a heavy
load, especially In the agricultural states We
might as we'll nominate Gould or Vanderbilt at
once. My impression is that Alger or Gresham
come nearer lling the bill than any OF the Others
with some fellow like Phelps, Of NV Jersey, who
could reach the conservative forces or the East
and get contributions from the manufacturers and
Wall street. But you can judge much better than
what is best after consulting with The delegates
have the use OF the wires during the conven-
t1On by the courtesy OF the company, and you can
therefore telegraph me fully at all times II any
thing OF interest transpires. Truly yours,

THE CHAMPIONSHIP RECORD.
Following is the present standing of the clubs

THE PLAYING OF THE SENATOR'S.
The week has developed the fact that the Sena-
tors can play good ball If they have the proper
kind OF leader. There nave been four games
piayed-ali with Phiiadelphia-of which three
were won and one lost. The record would have
been TOUR won had the Senators been well cap
talned on the held but the three that were won
served TO bring the nine from the tai-end to such
closeness TO sixth place that the Pitts
cons Cnrg men MN must be wondering ds what VIII
was to 3 against the PhllIes. o'Day and Glea-
son were the pitchers. The visitors hit harder
but the home men punched their hits and earned
D runs. ON Tuesday Gilmore pitched against
Casey, and had he been properly supported the
game would have been won. AS 1t was. with
coaching, the game went To Philadelphia, TO g.
The statesmen did some more OF their punched
batting on Wednesday, and Won, to4. Whitney
and Sanders were the pitchers, and the game was
neverin doubt after the second inning. on Thursday

game, and were going TO divide The honors, but

games the WasningtOns made 40 hits and 10 er.

pDias.
THIS IS better that the week before, when in five
gaines the home team made 40 hits and 20 errors
TO :1S hits and 26 errors by their opponents, In

The question now agitated by the patrons OF the
game here is, What shall be done with Gilmore?"

that result was not due TO his pitching entirely

The Family Oven in Greece.

these are needed The cooking is done, In

was any escape for the smoke, it was q

piles of stone. which supported fat slab,
to prevent the wind Of heaven from inter-
fering with the smoke But l found in

Hold 1t Over a Dax.

Let me tell you how l write mean let
ters and bitter editorials, my boy. Some
time, when a man has pitched into me and
''cut me up rough" and want to pulver-
ize him, and wear his CORY scalp at my
girdle and hang his hide on my fence,
write the letter or editorial that is to do
the business. l write something that will
drive sleep from his eyes and peace from
his soul for six weeks. Oh, l do hold him
over a slow fire and roast him. Gall and
aquafortis drip from my blistering pen.
Then, don't mail the letter and I don't
print the editorial There's always plenty
Of time to cruelty q man. The vilest
criminal is entitled to q little reprieve. /
put the manuscript away in a drawer.
Next day look at it. The ink is cold;
read it over and say: 81 don't know
about this. There's a good deal of blud-
geon and bowie knife journalism in that.
III hold it over day longer" The next day
read it again. laugh and say: "PshawP'
and / can feel my cheeks getting a little
hot. the fact is, am ashamed that I
ever wrote it, and hope that nobody has
seen it, and l have half forgotten the
article or letter that filed my soul with
rage. haven't been hurt, l haven't hurt
anybody, and the world goes right along,
making twenty-four hours day, as usual,
and l am all the happier. Try it, my boy.
Put off your bitter remarks until to-mor-
row. Then. when you try to say them
deliberately, you'll find that you have for
gotten them, and ten years later, ahl how
glad you will be that you didl Be good
natured. my boy. Be loving and gentle
with the world, and you'll be amazed to
see how dearly and tenderly the worried,
tried, vexed, harassed old world loves
you.-Burdette's Letter.

An Underbred Guests WAYS.

The disposition to regard friend S
home as hotel, and the repasts served
therein as free lunches, betrays the under
bred guest beyond the possibility of reha-
bilitation. One token of this inclination
is in the establishment of his contented
person in the most luxurious chair he
espies or lolling on the sofa. He carries
forward the neat design by lingering brio
a-brac, opening and shutting books, scru-
tinizing wall paper, frescoes and furniture
sometimes turning up the corner of a rug,
pinching draperies with haberdashery
touch, and, when not prevented by in
tractable casters, tipping his chair on the
hind legs
Why what the indignant military critic
of the jackson statue at Washington
called a ''r'arin" chair should express the
extreme of ease better than one left in the
normal quadrupedal position is recon-
dite question. 1t must, or it would not be
brought to the front so often that a chair
tipped backward might serve as the crest
of the Independent Yankee the world over
A further and quite indubitable evidence
Of quite at t-homeativeness is the subdued
whistle or hum with which the guest 1e-
gales himself when not talking He can
compliment his entertainers no more
highly than by becoming human kettle
on the hob, and singing himself up to tho
bubbling point of conversation.-Mari
Harland in Philadelphia Times.

Seeing the Color of Stars.

This matter of color is one of the great
est mysteries of sight. We frequently
read that in Arabia, Australia and the
Cape of Good Hope the stars are not only
much brighter than in our misty northern
sky, but they show their different colors
with great splendor. Very few people
here remark much difference, even in the
colors of planets. MARS" says New
combe in his Popular Astronomy" ''is
easily recognized when near it's apposi-
tion by its fiery red color" 1 have seen
Mars. of course. all my life, but my eyes
decline to think it fiery red It is to me
yellow, and only little more so than some
of the stars. The silvery radiance of Venus
is proverbial, yet if it's rays incline at all
to one of the primary colors, it may be
said that they are family tinged with blue.
People differ much as to the color of fixed
stars. never heard any one deny that
Lyra was white, but l have met with
those who declared that Aldebaran was
not fine red star; not red at all; and, in
short, that in the whole heavens there
was to their eyes no difference between
the color of one star and another Read
ing over the last two sentences to an OBJ
server Of the stars, he said 81 consider
Venus rather warm colored star, slightly
yellow. The blush tint that you speak
of better describes Lyra' We then
spoke of Sirius. Sirius is about the
same tint as Venus" he continued, "also
rather warm colored star" To my eyes
Sirius burns with a splendid white light.
