Claim Fails.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The Secretary of
Waterman, of Marion County, Kan, who
in 1854 by Kiowa Indians, that he lost prop
erty to that amount, but the claim not be-
ing presented within the period fixed by
law, he can not allow the same.
The amusements Of Halloween greatly
vary in different localities and among diff
ferent people. In some sections, parties,
where all the ladies are dressed in calico
or a kindred material, and their male at
tendants are arrayed in vests, coats and
neckties of the same materials, are the
vogue. Frequently the young ladies send
sufficient material like their gowns for the
gentlemen's outfits to the house of the per-
son who gives the party. Then, on an
evening a week previous to said party all
the gentlemen invited meet and select their
materials. This they have made into coats,
vests and neckties without knowing to
whom they are indebted. On Halloween,
as each gent walks into the recep-
tion-room, he selects for his part
ner the young lady wearing the
gown that matches his coat. Thus, ac-
cording to tradition, he learns his fate in
the lottery of matrimony. Another way
is for each lady to make a necktie from the
material like the gown she is to wear. All
these neckties are put in a box in the gen.
tleman's dressing room, and each selects
what, to him, is the prettiest and most
neatly made. He chooses, for his partner,
the young lady with gown to match. The
menu of this feast embraces nuts, apples,
doughnuts and cider. and sometimes
simple domestic cake. The gentlemen Of
the party should, to carry out the ''idea,S
crack all the nuts and then act as walters,
passing the refreshments to the ladies.
No servants should appear on the scene

Yerkes' New Men Get Into a Row in q
Grocery Store.
CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-Fridav afternoon
William Hord and Frank Guard, two Of
Yerkes' men who came here from Phila-
delphia to take the places of the North
Side strikers, went into Richtergh's
grocery store to buy some to-
bacco. Richbergh, who is in SYM
pathy with the strikers, knew the two
men and refused to sell them any thing.
While they were arguing the question Jo-
seph Youngblood, striker, and several
other strikers entered the store. AS soon
as the strikers entered Richbergh ordered
the Yerkes' new men to leave the place.
They refused to go, whereupon Rich
bergh and the strikers attempted
to eject them. A fight then en-
sued, during which Youn zblood was
struck on the forehead with hatchet in
the hands of one of the Philadelphia men,
but he could not tell which one it was.
Knives and razors were drawn and Hord
was cat on the head but not seriously
wounded. Just after the fight Hord and
Guard made their escape, but Youngblood
was arrested and locked up, but was re-
leased on bonds furnished by his father.

President Morton, of the Western as
ISOLATION, and President Thompson, of
the st. Paul club, went to Minneapolis
yesterday morning to meet the men
who wanted to take the stock of the
proposed new club, but found that only
two or three of them were willing to
put in their money, and finally f. A.
Leland said he thought further efforts
to get club in Minneapolis this season
might as well be abandoned. An
intimation came from Davenport that
club would probably be organized
there to begin playing out the Mime
apolis schedule on Saturday. The Min
neapoliS games of Monday and Friday
were forfeited to Des Moines by the
score of to 0. On Monday the Des
Moines men went on the field ready for
play, but President Morton told them
he would award them the game with
out their going to the trouble of
trip to the grounds, as he knew
there would be no team there to meat
them. Mr.. Morton said the Minneapo-
lis-Omaha forfeit at Davenport would be
thrown out of the record, but that all
other games would be counted until
there was a REIMBURSEMENT, in which
at least ten of the games with Omaha,
Kansas City, Chicago, Milwaukee,
Des Moines and st. Paul will be counted
and none of them very seriously affected.
Speaking of the coming season Presi-
dent Thompson said he thought the as
ISOLATION of next year would contain
teams from st. Paul. Minneapolis, Chi
cago. Denver. Omaha, Milwaukee, Kan
sas City and Davenport, Sioux City
or Oshkosh. Morton, he said, was anX-
ious to put in a team again, as he
thought one that would hold its own
with its competitors in the spring would
draw well IN the Garden city. Des
MOines, he thought, would probably
drop out, as the stockholders had lost
heavily Oh the high-priced club of this
year, and would not feel like mourning
any further risk. All the clubs, i'll fact,
had paid players more than they could
afford, and he had no doubt salaries
would be very much lower next season.

THREE OUT OF FOUR.
The Sioux City Team Downed
Again.

The total receipts at the ball game
yesterday afternoon were S7S, SO Man
ager Barnes had to go down into his
pocket for SO to make up the guaranty.
This was not because st. Paul people
do not like base ball, but Barnum'S cir
Gus, which draws better than mustard
plaster, was the counter attraction.
The game was long and tedious, and
was won by the local team without eff
fort. For seven innings the Corn Husk-
ers got but three safe hits, but in the
eighth started in TO pound Sow
ders as they did @oG Saturday.
Nicholas hit to right, SieDel to left and
Sneed got base on balls, with nobody
out. Reccius pounded the ball on the
bound to Pickett, who sent it to Corbett
and he to Morrissy in time to catch two
runners. Nicholas scored, but Powell
went out on a fly to Carroll. In the
ninth PhelaH got life on Reilly's error
and Veach's double brought him home
Brosnan hit the ball very hard, bat
Corbett caught him at first on a fine stop
and throw. and the next two men went
out. st. Paul scored one in the first in
ming on CAROLS infield hit, steal and
Morrissy's good drive to center. In the
third inning Broughton hit to center.
SOWderS' sacrifice sent him to second,
Murphy took base on balls and
Carroll landed the sphere over the
lattice work. three runs resulting. Nor
rissy went out, but Pickett got hit to
left and stole second. Earle took base
on balls and Reilly's double sent Pickett
home. In this inning foul tip drove
bar of Mobiles mask into his head,
causing a copious flow of blood from a
wound an inch long. Nicholas took his
place behind the bat. In the sixth
Nicholas mutfed Reilly'S third strike. he
stole second and scored on Corbett's hit
to center. Corbett purlOined bag two,
took third on Broughton's sacrifice and
scored on baik, the first one that ever
occurred Oh the grounds. Siebel was
about to let the ball slip from his fin
gers, when he stopped to recover him.

SIMPLY A FAIRY STORY.
The Wolverine Club VIII Not Be
Sold to Buffalo as Is Rumored,

Special to the Globe.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 21.-The Ex-
press this morning has the following on
the authority of "a Man Who Knows"
Negotiations are being conducted by
certain leading directors of the Buffalo
base ball club for the purchase of the
franchise of the Detroit base ball club
ard with very fair chances of success.
Detroit has become a very Door ball
town now that the Wolverines can't
play for the championship. and the di-
rectOr5 are losing money, and some are
reported as being anxious to sell out to
sell out to the highest bidder. Buffalo
is finely situated for a league CITY.
and the league magnates look
with favor upon the scheme.
Buffalo is great ball town, as
witness the large crowds at Olympic
park with a losing team. The negotia-
lions for the transfer of the franchise of
the DetroitS at the end of the season
are well under way and may be closed
up any day." A reporter called upon
President Cushman. of the Buffalo Base
Ball club, this afternoon, for a vertical
or denial of the report that the club In
tended purchasing the Detroit National
league franchise. President Cushman
gave the story his emphatic denial. In
other quarters the opinion was freely
expressed that while Buffalo was a
strong 25-cent admission city. it would
not support the National league admis-
sion fee.

FLOWERS IN MASSES.
How They Should Be Combined
for Beauty and Effect.

for Beauty and Effect.
Small, puny pieces of, for instance,
such free-growing things as the dwarf
phloXes, the aubrietias, windfowers,
and many other flowers that could be
mentioned, give no more idea of real
beauty than sprig of honeysuckIe
does of the plant when seen Chamber
ing over hedges by the wayside, says a
writer in Vick'S Magazine. Many Of
the most beautiful features in the gar
den are the masses of hardy flowers,
especially those of messy growth that
hang down over the lodges
and give brilliant patches of
color. 1t is when seen in
this way that we become enrapt-
ured with the simple beauty of alpines,
and wish that more would repeat such
effects and not kill the plants with kind
ness, as is too often the case, under the
impression that they are tender and
fastidiouS. Aubretias and many of the
rock pinkS need no special conditions
beyond sunny nook and plenty of
space to spread at will. 1t is when
they are constantly tempered with by
dividing that the plants are hindered
from making that progress that they
would do if left alone, as in nature. 1t
is, of course, impossible where the gar
den is small to grow many things and
have large patches of each, but it is in
finitely better to restrict the number
and do these well than have a lot of
weakly things that give but little pleas
ure.

BRANDING CHEESE.
The Requirement of the Wiscon
sin Law, and Penalties.

sin Law, and Penalties.
Branding cheese is made obligatory
by recent statute of the state of Wis
consin, the penalty of omission or false
marking being $50. The brand
must be ''full cream" half cream" or
''skim milk" as the fact may be. In
the state of New York the law is not
compulsory, but permissible, the state
furnishing the brand through the dairy
commissioner, the penalty being for
false branding OF an improper use of the
state brand. The full-cream cheesemak-
erS generally use the brand, so that all
cheese not so branded falls under suS-
picion Of being robbed of more or less
of its cream. The law has been bene-
fetal. 1t is hoped Wisconsin's more
stringent law will also prove satisfac-
tory. Butter ought to be branded with
tine name and address Of the maker, as
a guarantee of its genuineness, with
suitable regulations and penalties pro-
vlded. 1t is difficult to make dishonest
men obey laws that are Objectionable to
them, but the honest men cannot object
to putting the brand of honesty on their
goods. In this way, by branding the
genuine article as we stamp the genuine
coin, we give the consumer some guar
anty of the character of the goods he
buyS-and we punish the cOunterfeiter
and the dealer in cOunterfeitS, when we
catch them.

RAIN INTERPRETED.
Still There Was Some Pretty Ten
mis- Playing at Newport.

NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. 21.-In the sec
ond days play in the eighth annual
tournament of the United States Ma
tional Lawn Tennis association, the
first match was the finish of the match
of the first round between Ii. W. Slo-
cum, Jr., and w. Fl. Barnes. The first
set easily went to Slocum by score of
60. From the start it was evident
that Barnes was no match for Slocum.
This was verified in the next two sets.
for Slocum won both at Glove. This
gave the match to Slocum by score of
60, Go, Go. The next match was
the first of the second round, and was
between James Dwight and Emerson
Tuttle. Dwight won the match, 6-1,
Go, 6-1. Dwight plays a very hard
ball, places and smashes accurately, and
is as steady as clock work. If he keeps
up this steadiness he will win the
tournament. Seers easily beat Lee. the
first two sets and had four games on the
third set when the rain began. The
other games were all stopped by rain.

MONMOUTH PARK, Aug. 21.-The Sc

the two-year-old race cleverly, beating
Tipstatf by two lengths, the pair half
score of lengths III front of the field, of
which Sorrento was the leader. The
Choice stakes brought about good
struggle between George Oyster, and
each under a pull, for mile and
quarter. Then the jockeys got to
work. The Dwyer crack appeared not
himself, and George Oyster won by
| head. The Lion was never in it, and
Taragon who was put in at the last
moment was terribly shown up. He
was almost distanced. The first was
won by Joe Lee. third choice, by
length. Oriflamme was drawn in the
fourth race, and Hopocrite, the favorite,
won easily by length and half. In
the HUI race Tic 'OOOu tHlnS umpire
