Here is Manager Mutrie's opinion Of An
son as reported by TIL New York Tribune:
There is a mai who gets a great deal Of
credit for things he never does" said Mutrie.
THAT Chicago infeld Is a remarkable one
and those four men are a genuine stone wall.
They work together like a watch and each
one knows just what the other will do in q
trying moment. There is the success of the
Chicago club. Arson, Pfeffer, Williamson
and Burns win all the games for Chicago.
His young pitchers and catchers simply
prevent the other mines from scoring
many runs, SO that stone WALL gets In the
runs and wins the games. AS soon as Arson
breaks up the infield Chicago's glory win be
gone. As long as he keeps that stone wall
intact he can continue to sell $4,000 pitch
ers, catchers and out1elders as fast as there
is a market foT them Now Arson got credit
the other day for taking Brothers out of the
pitchers position and putting In Ryan. That
move was a wise one and defeated the Giants.
1t was Pfeffer's suggestion, however, and
Anson acted on it instantly. 1t was
hard on poor Brothers, but Arson did
not care SO long as Chicago saved the game
by the change. Burns and Williamson are
also ever watchful for a weak point among
their opponents, and at once impart what
ever information they get to their captain.
They know all the tricks Of baseball, and
work them as well as Glasscock does, and
there Is no shrewder player in the country
than he. Ewing would be considered a great
captain, too, with such an inhefd of able
lieutenants.n

If the women's colleges would add t o
their course of study q series of very
plain lectures On the care Of health, 1t
would be worth any amount of Anglo
Saxon literature O N political economy.
Nothing would make a school more O
lar than to supplement such lectures with
strict personal cart Of the habits of each
pupil. 1t would become a "beauty
school" in the full sense OF the word, as
celebrated for sending put young ladies
with brilliant compilations as Harvard
for Its athletics. And why is It not as
necessary for young ladies to have their
faces chased as to have their manners
and their grammar corrected? Now, the
most high minded and fastidious Of Lady
Sylvias has a slender body, which works
over daily not less than seven pounds of
food and drink, or ought to, and throws
out no less than five pounds of waste by
its great ducts, the bowels and kidneys,
and its millions Of needle ducts in the
skin. Really this is very terrible for dis
c%ussion, and l warmly agree with her
majesty Victoria in thinking stomachs
entirely unfit for mention to ears polite.
But thousands of women are losing
beauty and dying of painful disease for
want of knowing the full significance of
their internal economy and the care they
owe it.-Shirley Dare.

Copal is allied to amber, but differs from
it in its age. being much more recent.
While insects are also common in amber,
they are all of extinct species, while those
in copal are still in existence. A peculi.
arity about copal is the appearance of the
outside Of he pieces as found in the
natural state. This appearance is similar
to the skin Of a plucked goose, and from
this similarity it derives its name. The
goose flesh appearance by some is sup.
posed to be due to the sand In which the
copal is found at a depth of q few inches
to six feet. But as all the Jumps are
oxidized on the surface, this would prob
ably prevent any action by the sand, and
it is more likely due to some kind of con
traction. The copal is found along the
coast of Zanzibar in the desert sand and is
dug up by the natives. They stick long
poles down into the sand and strike the
Jumps Of copal like they would strike a
stone. The pieces are of all sizes from
three or four inches through down to a
bean or pea size. The fine quality is used
to make the best coach varnish. The
gum is worth from fifty cents to 81. &C
cording to quality, hat is. according to
its clearness and the absence from i'm
purities.-New York Evening Sun.

The Suburban Winner. 1k1vood

Elkwood, the winner of the great Suburban,
Is a chestnut horse, 1873 hands high, by Eolus
out Of Minnie Andrews. He was bred at
the Virginia stock farm of Mr.. Thomas Dos
we'll, and was sold when a yearling. He
passed into the hands OF c. W. Medinger,
the Baltimore b~ookmaker, and ran a few
races for nat gentleman during his 3-year.
old career.
While at Saratoga two years ago Mr..
Walter Gratz bought him for $3.50. Elk
wood formed the nucleus OF Mr.. GRATIS
strong stable, and began winning at once.
1t was a common remark at the time that
Elkword could not win for Medinger, but
he captured race after race for his new
owne and became one Of the famous horses
Of the year.
In his 4-year-old form he ran and won
some of the best races in the country, includ-
ing his dead heat with Dunboyne at Sara
toga, when he repeated in faster time than
the original heat. He was beaten by Ban
burg In a match race for 5000 a side at
Sheepshead Bay last fast fall.
He was considered one Of the most con-
sistent performers on the turf. He has a
queer constitution. Owing to a throat
trouble he canno run well on a dark or
damp day.
This year he was named as a dangerous
horse in the Brooklyn handicap, but the bad
track and damp weather prevented his fac
ing the starter. He Is a hard horse to beat
when just right.-New York Sun.

The Iron Workers.

PITTsBURG, July 1.-Two more sigma
lures to the amalgamated scale were re
ported this morning. They were the
Laughlin Iron company of Leechburg,
Pa, and the FIndlay Iron company of
Findlay, o. This news was the occasion
of considerable rejoicing about the work
mems headquarters. The manufacturers
claim that the action of these firms was
counted on before the lockout began.
The shut down does not affect every work
man in and around the mills, as has been
reported. Many of these departments
that are not governed by the Amalgamat-
ed Association scale will continue in oper-
alton. Jones and I4aughlin. for example,
employ 1000 men at the American Iron
works, but only 1000 Of them are affect
ed. The others are employed in machine
shops and other departments of the mill.
They have iron, and if trade will warrant
it an effort will be made to purchase ma
terial in the East.
This evening Superintendent Walker,
representing Carnegie, Phelps & Co.,
signed the scale for all their mills except
the Homestead steel works. The Carne-
gle mills are now closed, but operations
will be resumed on Thursday. The Re.
public Iron company of this city also
placed their signature to the scale to-
night and will start up the latter part of
the week.

Cable Car

CHICAGO, July "A grip car beyond
control and running at the rate of eight
miles per hour through the business part
of tho city caused a lively scene last night.
The result was three badly wrecked cars,
many badly frightened and child
rem and some severe Commissions, but no
fatalities.
As the Clark street car came out of the
tunnel going south, the driver made an
attempt to apply the brakes, but without
effect, as a strand of cable had wound it.
self around the grip and was moving the
train at a dangerous speed. Just ahead
of this there was the Wells street train
filled with passengers. AT Monroe street
the Wells street train was struck and
thrown in a heap into the gutter. Two
blocks further on the flying train struck
the curve at Dearborn street. The cars
became disengaged from the strand and
ended its career by jumping the track.
The passengers on the Wells street cars
were extricated and several were found 10
be badly injured.
Mrs. Kahn of Wabash avenue had her
side badly crushed and was otherwise in
iured. Bessie Mitchell had her lower
limbs crushed, and a score of others who
refused to give their names received mi
nor cuts and bruises. The loss to the
cable company will be about $4,000.

Banker Nelson Sk1ps.

ATLANTA, Ca, July "A sensation
has been created by the disappearance of
Banker c. c. Nelson. When the book
keeper opened the safe this morning he
found it empty aud no trace Of his EN-
ployer. 1t has since transpired that
Nelson left on the II o'clock Western 4
Atlantic %northbound train. He took with
him a heavy %valise, presumably filled with
valuables. On Friday and Saturday he
went to the leading banks and sold ex-
change on the Chase National Bank of
New York. with whom he had been doing
business 1t is not known lust how much,
but the amount is roughly estimated at
49, 900. kilograms received from the
Chase bank to-day intimated he had no
funds there. His bank, the Northside
Savings bank, was a small affair, but he
had a good many depositors among poor
people. The loss to the depositors, it is
thought, will not exceed $4,000.
