HIS EYE ON THE LEAGUE.
President Byrne Wants Brooklyn IL
wHshington's Place,

President Byrne Wants Brooklyn in
washington's Place.
"There will be some big surprises in
baseball circles next winter" remarkeda a
gentleman who is generally accredited
with knowledge Of sporting affairs, last
night "Brooklyn will go into the League
and Washington into the Association"
"0h, don't spring that chestnut on
us II"
Chestnut yes, so il is. But it's being
a chestnut shows that it is not so improb-
able, but that many have discussed II. l
know the story was started last winter,
p but there wasn't much foundation for it
then. Brooklyn hadn't been doing we'll
enough in the Association to warrant her
admission to the League, even if President
Hewett we're willing to Withdraw the Ma
tionals which he wasn't. You know the
Nationals cannot be forced out. The
Nets case proved that. Mr.. Hewett felt
convinced that with stronger nine than
last year his club would pay and would
secure respectable position in the
League race. He stoutly declared his in
tention to stick to the League.
"On the other hand President Byrne
saw that the time for HIM to try for the
League had not yet come. He went to
work to strengthen his team and Won der
Abe was so accommodating as well as
short-sighted as 10 allow some OF his best
material to go. What is the consequence?
Brooklyn has one of the strongest mines
in the country and can go ont TO st.
Louis and defeat Won der Ahe's men on
his own grounds four straight That
Brooklyn will win the Association pen
nant there Is little doubt. If she does
not she will be very close second,
With such a prestige she becomes u very
desirable acquisition for the League.
Does any one doubt that Washington
would be quickly thrown overheard, If
IL were possible, and Brooklyn taken in 2'
Prospects with the Washington's are
different from what they were last win
ter. don't know whether the club has
made money or not but Judging from
/ Mr.. Hewitt complaints and the size of
the attendance, should say that it had
not. The fact is that people will not pay
so cents to see tail.ender play. Let
Washington go into the Association, and
with fighting chance for fourth place,
or even better, baseball would pay here
at % cents. Does any one doubtIt2
believe that Mr.. Hewitt does not. But
one thing is certain, if Mr.. Hewitt will
not go out of the League willingly, Byrne
will buy him out, put Washington into
the Association and Brooklyn into the
League. Now just watch things"

How She Endured Dissipation.

An observant and thinking Washugtonlan
while on the subject Of hard work which So
ciety women at the capital are compelled to
undergo, tells the story of debutante that is
worth the larger circulation which a re-recita
of it in the Free Press will afford
There was pretty girl, Miss X, Just the
girl for Washington to Eill Off in one season.
Her mother knew it. and it that mothers
knowledge and devotion that saved the girl
The mother watched her darling Chloe all win
ter with the faithful constancy of a piouS nurse
in the case of g helpless patient. She sent
another land an elder member of the family
into society with her, and she (the mother)
stayed at home and did the heavy work.
She kept everybody still and COM
palled favorable and soothing conditions,
so that her precious charge could sleep till noon
Then she lifted her out of bed, carried her to
the bath bathed her and never permitted her to
make the least eXertion in her own behalf She
rubbed her with dry towels, clothed her. fed her
with nourishng food, and in the afternoon made
the grand rounds as her escort. At o'clock
she brought her charge home. fed her and put
her carefully te bed. An hour before the time
Of setting out Tor the nights whirl she gave her
another bath and prepared her for the conflict.
She kept that girl going by constantly groom
ing her with exactly the same care that pro-
fessional pugilist trainer bestows upon his
charge before fight, or that a jockey gives a
race horse; and in the spring, when everybody
else was jaded out and sick and ready to drop,
Chloe was as spry as a cricket, and she captured
the best catch OF the season.

81 saw Judge Moulton, of Shebyville. up here
the other day. said an Illinois politician who
sat chatting with two or three friends in the
rotunda of the Palmer House. 1T was the first
time I'd seen him for long time. | used to live
down that way when he was on the Supreme
Bench and about the time he went to Congress-
and knew him pretty well. Ate at the same
hotel table with him the summer his wife went
to Europe. He's not much changed during the
fifteen years; a little grayer, and perhaps light
thinner, but pretty much the same Judge
that used TO be the butt of all Bayless Hannah's
and Judge Hess aud Pat Mtchells and George
r. Weddings jokes. Vending and Hess were
inveterste wags and 1t was their chief delight
10 worry Judge Moulton. Perhaps you don't
know that he's afflicted with myopis. but it's a
fact that he couldn't tell a brick house from a
haystack across the street, he's so frightfully
near-sghted. Vending used 10 say he some.
times made mistake and kissed the hired girl
on the stairs, taking her for his wife But that
was probably one OF Georges lies
Anyhow, the Judge is powerfully near
sighted. For instance, one day he was going up
10 the Court house from the hotel when he met
an amiable town COW on the crossing. The
Judge is a courteous gentleman, with old school
manners and taking the COW for a lady he
lifted his hat gallantly. With bow. a smile a
pleasant Good morning, madame, he stepped
clear off the walk to allow the object OF his def.
ererce to pass.
well, Hess saw 1t and told Mitchell, and
when the Judge got to the court house the whole
bar jumped on 20 him and guyed him unmerc-
fully. They got him madden than a hornet,
and after standing il about as long as he could
without fgtng he gathered up his umbrella and
hat and put out for the hotel Just as he was
in the middle OF the same crossing he met a
lady. but he wasn't to be fooled again by decep-
tive appearances, so, with q flourish OF his
umbrella, he shouted:
"Hwa there ~ We! Get off the walk

when he did realize his bhInder he didn't wait
fer dinner, nor for Hess and Mitchell and Wend

up his bag of briefs and III out on the noon

wife came home
But the story was not forgotten. aud Il used
to be told on him when he was running for Con.

She was Beautiful, but She Loved Pie.

A young gentleman of this city. says the New
York EUening Sun, has recently peen very
much attracted by the beauty and tasteful dress
of young girl of his acquaintance, and it was
observed by his friends that he was fast becom-
Ing quite devoted in his attentions. Nor did he
deny the fact when charged with tin fact
seemed rather hattered by the suggestion His
friends were therefore somewhat surprised
when his attentions suddenly ceased and he
was seen about no longer accompanied by a
pink-cheeked beauty, but in somewhat moody
solitude. When questioned he admitted that
the spell was broken, the Illusion shattered and
that henceforth he and the fair young charner
would meet as strangers. When pressed for his
reason he explained:
You see, ] took her to the opera one night
last week-best seats in the house. flowers, and
everything correct. Well, as | wanted TO do the
thing up in finished style, we went to Del
monicos afterward. l must own l was a little
uneasy when she studied the menu so long, and
began to wonder where could borrow enough
to see me through 10 the end of the month
But was just knocked perfectly speechless,
and looked at her with my jaw dropped when
she laid II down. and looking up calmly at the
dress coated Frenchman who was waiting
deferentially beside her, announced decisively
