THE LEAGUE ADDRESS.
A Straightforward but Hard Hitting
Document.

The address Of the National league Of profes-
nonal base ball clubs on the brotherhood aues-
uon was issued yesterday. IL contains a con-
densed statement Of base ball history in this
country since the organization OF the league in
1870 III touches upon the reserve rule and
SHOWS now the game has improved under il,
and then goes into the details Of the grievances
alleged by the players. Touching brotherhood
matters the report says; AT the annual meet
ing OF the league in November. 1857, the broth
erhood asked and received recognition upon the
statement OF Its representatives that IL was or
gsnized for benevolent purposes and desired
to go hand in hand with the league in perpetu-
ating the game. increasing its popularity and
elevating the moral standard OF its players.
They disavow any intention desire 20 inter-
fere with the business affairs Of the league. the
salaries OF players or the reserve rule simply
asking that the contract he so revised thai ID
IN itself would indicate every relation between
q club and each individual player.
This brotherhood contract when accepted
and adopted, has never been violated by the
league either in letter or spirit and we chAl-
lenge proof in contradiction Of this declara-
ton"
To correct a misrepresentation in the public
mind as 20 the alleged enormous profits d.
ylded among stockholders of league clubs 10
may be interesting 10 know that during the
past hve-and only prosperous-years there
have been paid IN cash dividends 10 stock
holders in the eight league clubs less than
sl5OOoO, and during the same time league
players have received in salaries over 500 900.
The balance of the profits OF the few successful
clubs, together with the original capital and
subsequent assessments of stockholders Is rep
resented entirely in grounds aud improvements
Tor the permanent good OF the game, costing
about S6O0.OOO
The refusal OF the brotherhood committee
TO meet the league in conference at the close
OF the season proves incontestibly that the i'm

Mrs. Parnell's Troubles.

New York Correspondence Baltimore sun.
The people who have undertaken to exploit
Mrs. Parnelrs alleged woes can be relied on
to keep up the advertising racket it enabled
them to make. As the San explained today
Mr.. Parnell has received a generous tribute
from his fellow-countryme in the shape OF o
personal testimonial that put his Irish estate
out of debt. A hysterical female is writing him
''open letters" about his mother and talking
about the expenses of his bout with the London
Times. This nonsense is on a par with the rest
The expenses of the Times suit were paid out of
Il special fund of nearly SZ5O. 900 subscribed by
Irishmen the world over. Mrs. Parnell lost her
private fortune dabbing i'll Wall street, where
she posed as female tinancier, with the usual
result. No one knows more about the Parnell
family than the Rev. Patrick Cronin of Buffalo,
the first vice president of the land league. lie
says in today's issue OF his paper, the Catholic
Times, on the case: THE report of Mrs. Par
nells restitution has been used to reproach her
heroic son-as every report damaging to Ire
land is invariably used. We may as well frankly
say that Mrs. Parnell. admirable as she is, is a
trifle over generous, and that. if she have not
fair balance in her bank to be used as she
thinks best In her works of benevolence she
considers herself destitute and impresses her
view of matters on her acquaintance. Let
this hint suffice to those who wonder why
Charles Stewart Parnell should leave his
mother destitute. His mother is not destitute,
was never destitute and will never be destitute
Her view of her financial condition Is q hallu-
ciuation"

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT:
THE RAILROAD FENCE ON Z STREET.


Mr.. c. 81. Parker dropped into the District
building today, but with no intention against
fences or railroads. He said he merely wanted
to pay his taxes. Mr.. Parker seemed to be in
a very good humor over the recent order of
the Commissioners in reference to the fence on
Z street. He said that there would be no
trouble over the removal this time, the rail-
road company had already ordered the gates
from Wilmington, Del, and that in a few days
the street would be entirely clear Of obstruc-
ton.
TWO COMMISSIONERS ABSENT.
Neither Commissioner Douglass nor Major
Raymond were at the District buildings this
morning. Mr. Douglass was at the White
House as a member of the geological park COM
mission, which today presented their report to
the President Major Raymond was absent on
private business in New York.
CONTRACT AWARDED.
The contract for fitting up the new laboratory

tract for laying certain sewers last September
asking him to execute his contract or at least

A Political Sensation i'm Paris.

In the French chamber Of deputies yesterday
NJ. Leydet offered a motion in favor Of allow
ing the free manufacture Of matches. At
present company pays the state for possession
Of u monopoly Of the business. N. Rouvier,
minister of finance, offered compromise. He
proposed to withdraw the company's conces-
sion and to establish direct government monop-
oily. This proposal was rejected by q vote Of
3l2 to 236 and NJ. Leydet's motion was carried
292 to 232. The defeat Of the government has
caused a sensation and is looked upon as q bad
augury for the ministry.
Owing to the governments defeat on the
match monopoly question NJ Rouvier desired
to resign from the ministry Of finance, but
Premier Tirard dissuaded him from doing 90.

man for alternating her husbands affections,
and puts her damages at $4,000. Ken
dali is the noted horseman. Miss Holman is
very wealthy, and will be remembered as igur-
ing in another interesting case over year and
a half ago. when her brother. Luther Holman,
plotted to take her life. Luther wanted 10
commit the murder himself, his purpose being
TO get hold of his sisters money. The curious
thing about the case at present is the complica-
ton into which the two women have got the
banks A trustee process was served upon the
four savings banks of the city in which Miss
Holman has deposits by Mrs. KendalTs coun-
sci, and the attachment also covered her real
estate. Miss Holman, 1t is said. thinking 10
best to settle the case without publicity, gave
her note for $1,000. or Whereabouts. TO Mrs.

Important to Mutual Benefit Insurers.
At Trenton. NJ, Vice Chancellor Van Fleet
has filed his opinion in the case of Susan Brit
ton vs.. The Royal Arcanum, which is Of i'm
portance to mutual benefit insurers. The suit
was to compel payment to Mrs. Britton on
$1,000 membership certificate OF her deceased
son. When Brltton Joined the society he as
signed his certificate TO II. NJ. Brennan to Sc
cure a debt. The mothers name was not mem
toned in the application. Brennan was de-
scribed as a cousin, but was, in fact, no rela-
ton. The court holds that the object for
which the society was incorporated being to
accumulate a fund to be paid to the dependent
relatives of deceased members, Brennan has no
claim on the money. The fact that the society
was deceived as to Brennan's relationship does
not relieve it from liability, as the deceit did
not influence its action in accepting Britton az
a member. The society's claim that it cannot
recognize beneficiary not named in the ap-
paid to the nearest dependent relative Of the
deceased member, who is Mrs. Britton, the
plaintiff.
