LOSING MONEY.
Secretary scandrett States How the Local
Club is n Loser.

Secretary scandrett States How the Local
Club is Loser.
1t is now stated on official authority that the
local ball club is losing money and has been
doing so at brisk rate for some time. Yester-
day afternoon, during a conversation on the
subject, Secretary Scandrett said:
Certainly we have lost money, this season
and blame it to the bad schedule arrange
meuts that compelled the club to be away from
home SO long during the good season of the
year."
"How much is the club out?" was asked
'Why, Pm not prepared to state that, but l
can say we're out considerably. However, /
hope to see the club quit even. / think it will.
because we have goodly number of home
games to play yet"
Mr.. Scandrett went on to say that certainly
no more players will be released this season ex-
cept money is offered for them. He said: II
consider that every player we have now is
worth money. and if we cannot sell any of our
men we'll keep them"
The statement that the club is not "even" by
any means settles question that has caused
considerable discussion. Secretary Scandrett
is not addited to saying what is not true, and
his statement to the effect that the club is con-
siderably behind financially will be read with
regret by all the friends of the club

SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK.
A Movement to Secure the Next Convention
for This City.


A Movement to Secure the Next Convention
for This City.
The Executive Committee of the Sunday
School superintendent Association met
yesterday afternoon and appointed CON-
mittee of two to arrange for general meet
ing of the association, at time to suit the
convenience of Rev. Mr.. McKittrick and
Mr.. Miller, who were delegates to the con-
venti on held in London this summer. They
were also directed to secure, if possible, the
attendance of B. f. Jacobs, of Chicago, a
prominent worker and a member of the In
ternational Association.
A movement is on foot to have the Nation
al Sunday School Convention meet in Pitts
burg next June, and this matter will
probably be taken MP by the local associa-
tion. 1t is thought that the Exposition
building will furnish good accommodations
for the meeting, but City Hall would do if
the other could not be obtained. These
conventions are attended by over 1000 del
egates, and generally remain in session ten
days. They have been a feature of Amer
lean Sunday School work, at intervals, for
more than half a century. The first was
held in New York in 1882 and
the tenth in 1887 at Chicago. It was at
the meeting in Chicago that action was
taken to make the conventions truly inter
national by arranging for the cooperation of
Sunday school workers all over the world,
and the holding of the convention at Lon
don in June last.
Each State. Territory and Province is en-
titled to one delegate for each A, 600 of pop
ulation, to be chosen by an international as
sociation. B. F. Jacobs, with whom the
Pittsburg committee is to consult, is Chair
man of the International Executive Com
mittee, and was largely instrumental in Sc
curing the adoption Of the international
uniform lesson plan.

The Parnellifes Endeavor TO Rcbuke the
Administration of BaIfour.
LONDON, August 21.-In the House Of
Commons this evening, in the debate on the
Irish Office vote, MIR. Sexton moved to re-
duce the vote by the amount of Mr.. Bal
four's salary. The principles of that Bal
four's rule, he said, were bad administra-
tion of bad law, arbitrary use of physical
force, and suppression of the truth. The
London Times had the whole Government
machinery at its disposal during the past
year, but the Parnellites were satisfied with
the result of the inquiry. So far one con-
spiracy had been revealed and another re-
mained.
The Parnellites intended to pursue the
subject until full light was thrown upon it.
They would doubtless reveal curious reptiles
and strange proceedings. Mr.. Parnell sup
ported the motion on the ground that Mr..
Balfour's policy appeared to be to incite in
strumenrs to exceed the law. The motion
was rejected, 112 to SO.
