How Young Ohicer's Words Were Twisted

by Trusty Servant.
She was very pretty girl. says the writer
of "Undertones" in the San Francisco
Chronicle. At least he says so, and never
contradict man in what he says about the
girl he is in love with. Why shouldn't
they all be pretty? Some of them are poor
and need prettiness. Some of them are
rich and can get along without it, but still
tell them they are pretty. Even if they
know you are telling what you know is not
the truth, they'll forgive the lie and admire
the liar. He was simple officer of ma
rines. He loved, but he was young, and he
calculated on having some fun before he
got married. so he loved-with a reserva-
tion. He had made an appointment to go
Ito the theater with her and her married
sister, and when the time came brother
officer was taken sick and he had to go on
duty in his place. He called coiored
servant, faithful and true. He could not
write a note, so he sent message.
"You tell the lady," he said, that some
thing has happened and I can't join them
at the theater. 1 am awfully sorry, but
can you remember something and repeat 1t
for me?"

CHRISTY Is CHAMPION.
He Wins the Tennis Championship Cup of
Western Pennsylvania.

western tenusylvantas
The last match in the first annual champion
ship tournament of the Pittsburg Tennis Club
was finished on Saturday, thus bringing to a
close the largest and most successful lawn
tennis tournament ever held in Pennsylvania
outside of Philadelphia.
The championship of Western Pennsylvania
was carried off by Mr.. Marshall Christy. of
the Sewickley club, after the most brilliant
AND hardest tennis playing ever witnessed in
this vicinity. Mr.. Christy, in winning first
''singles," became the possessor for one year of
the beautiful and valuable "challenge cup
presented by Mr.. ]. Z. Grogan. the ieweler,
the finest trophy ever offered to tennis players
hereabouts. By misunderstanding Mr.
Christy left for college before the match was
finished but upon learning that it was still un-
decided returned from Princeton, n. j., and
defeating Mr.. N. K. Coster won the cup.
When the cup is finished it will be on exhi-
bition at Mr.. Grogan's for few days.
Messrs. Christy and Woods, of the Sewickley
club, also won the double championship by
winning from Moorhead and Reed, the score
standing rs games to "a for the latter team.
This match also was without doubt the most
exciting. From the first game to the last
point, every point was fought for, and it was
only decided when the last ball was netted
Moorhead and Reed won second prize. doubles
and Robert R. Reed took second prize in
singles, defeating Mr.. NJ. K. Coster in the
final round Mr.. Thos. Ewing took the consoal-
ton prize, handsome smoking jacket offered
by Jos. Horne Co.
The next annual tournament of the club will
be held the second week in July. $780, and as
the college boys will have Just returned home,
and in their best form, some great contests
will be seen, especially the fight over the Gro
gan challenge cup.
The last tournament of the season on this
clubs grounds is being played off now. this
one being mixed" doubles for the benefit Of
the lady members.

sODEN's VIEWS OF 1T.
He Thinks the Brotherhood Scheme n Very
Big Bluff

Big bIuu-
fsPEc1AL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH:
BOSTON, September 29.-President Soden
doesn't feel at all worried over the rumored
scheme of the baseball brotherhood. I'm the
first place." said he, IF the scheme is started
we will hire a club of players and we can find
plenty of players the equals of those at present
playing in League clubs. They may not have
their regulations, but it won't take long TO
work that up. With our grounds and equip
ments we will be able to give as good exhi-
billions as the Brotherhood. We don't propose
to be run out of the business while we have
money to fight it. The players are simply get
ting themselves in a position where they think
they can dictate terms to the managers of the
League at the national meeting next month.
It's all big bluff. No business men are going
to invest money in such a risky adventure as
baseball has been. and trust the players them
selves to manageit These cooperative schemes
always fail and under this new order of things
it would be impossible to exercise any discipline
over the players necessary to put them in con-
dition and make them play ball."
President Soden didn't believe the report
that Director Conant had purchased the
Omaha club as he didn't think Conant took
enough stock in the Brotherhood scheme to
make such a move. President Young has no
hesitation in saving that when the annual
meeting of the League is held in November
the members of the Brotherhood will be ac-
corded respectful hearing, and honorable
concessions may be expected on both sides.
This is the idea conveyed by talk with Presi-
dent Hewett, of the Washingtons and he has
been in correspondence and personal communi-
cation with Messrs. Day, Spalding and Rogers,
all of whom have outlined the same policy.

Excitement About the Pennant Race-The
brotherhood Scheme.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DIsPATcH.I
New YORK. September 2S-As the League
season nears an end the baseball enthusiasts in
this city become more and more excited over
the closeness of the race They have not for a
moment lost faith in the champions The fine
work which they have done after leaving home
has assured the cranks that the team will bring
the flag back with them If they are able. 1t
looked at one time as though Keefe and W elch
had lost their grip to a certain extent, but the
nearness of the end of the season will serve to
keep them up and spur them on to do better
work. The whole cry. however. is let the best
club win.
The wild story of league that is to be
formed by the Brotherhood of Baseball Play
ers that was sprung on the public a few days
ago has kept the cranks busy for the past
quite certain that if such a league was to be
formed the clubs in this city and Brook
lyn would prove a failure at once and would go
under before the league was many days old.
Right on top of the Brotherhood story comes
another that was Just as silly. 1t was to the
effect that the Boston and Chicago clubs
wanted to buy out two clubs in Western
minor league. These sensations don't do the
ballplayers any good, and if they have
hand in the circulation of the
once, and their names placed before the pub
lie. As to the Brotherhood clubs in this city
and Brooklyn the story can be put down as
untrue. and the work of some space fiend. As
far as this city is concerned the New York
players are satisfied, and as to Brooklyn, we'll
they can put club over there as soon as they
like, but it won't take one silver quarter out of
the pockets of the managers of the present
Brooklyn club. The whole scheme can be put
down as an advertising dodge. j. II. NJ.

THE SURPLUS ALL GONE.
So Says n Telegram From Washington,
Based ON the Assistant Treasurer's
Fisures-Tanner and the Court

FiEures-Tanner and the Court
of Claims Made II Fly.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.i
WAsHINGToN, September 29.-The sur
plus is gone. According to Assistant Sec
retary Batcheller's statement, made several
days since, it had fallen from S107, ,0O0, 900,
at which pointit stood year ago, to 81, 900, :
600. This balance will be practically
wiped out by the reports and estimates now
being prepared for submission to
Congress. There are agencies pro-
vided for by law for ascertaining the
indebtedness Of the United States to its citi-
zens, which work noiselesslys but with
marvellous effect. Chief among these is the
Court Of Claims.
Commissioner Tanner was credited
with being the champion Surplus ripper"
He is not. The Court of Claims beats him
out of sight and does it. too, in entire accord
with the forms of law.
The Court has before it now Southern war
claims for supplies taken BY the Union
forces from loyal residents of the South
during the war, amounting to $3.50. 700, 900;
French spoilation cases amounting to about
$12, ,0O0,0 900 and suits brought against the
United States under the original
jurisdiction of the Court in which
the amounts claimed aggregate
$40, 900, 900. Looking the facts straight in
the face. as any business man would do in
figuring on his own affairs, Uncle Sam to-
day has no surplus to call his own.

SCARED BY A RED LIGHT.
Lazy Engineer Cured of His Habit Of
Sleeping While ON Duty.

Sleeping WnlIe ON Dutys
Chicago Herald
The recent railroad disaster on the Rock
Island has recalled a number of stories re-
gardIng the carelessness of engineers and
other men in the operating department of
railroads. An old railroader was telling
yesterday Of the time when he used to be
conductor Of freight train. 1t was his
misfortune to have an abnormally lazy engi-
neer. who would 60 to sleep on the slightest
provocation. Whenever the train was side
tracked 70 wait the passage of an express
train the engineer would lie down on his
seat in the cab, prop his feet up against the
boiler head and go fast asleep. He would
remain that way until the noise OF the n.y.
ing express awoke him. Then he would
yawn and prepare to pull out. The boys in
the train crew did not like this.
"Why can't he stay awake and watch for
signals as we do?" asked one of them one
night, as the long train was on siding
waiting for the arrival of mo. 6"
well, why don't you see that he keeps
awake?" asked the old railroader, who was
in charge of the train.
"I will" said the brakeman
With the assistance of the other boys he
firmly set the brakes along the train and
then hung red lantern from the roof OF the
engine cab SO that it was hanging in front
of the window just in front of the slumber-
ing engineer.
These preparations made he put his foot
on the oldfashioned crank whistle and there
was an awful shrek. The engineer jumped
up and saw the red light. Confused for the
moment he thought he was about to run
into the rear end of another train, SO he re-
versed his engine and jumped into the ditch,
nearly breaking his neck. OF course the
engine did not move peg. The boys were
all back in the waY-car by this time, and
when the sleepy engineer recovered himself
and limped up out of the ditch he thought
he must have been dreaming. However, he
lost years growth and never went to sleep
at his post after that. He was cured.

Rather Roughly.
Grass Valley tCal.) Union.I
The Salvation Army OF this place has one
Chinese convert, who takes his share in the
street exhortations, but has not yet been
promoted to the command of brass musical
instrument or bass drum. He is now
taking lessons in English in order to become
more proficient in the language. His
teacher is young lady, and few nights
ago one of her brothers thought he would
play joke on the Celestial by appearing in
a ghostly form, by wrapping himself in a
sheet and confronting the pupil as he was
on his way home The scheme dld not
work according to intention, for instead OF
taking o scare the Chinaman tackled the
ghost, exclaiming: me catchee one
Hebbil," and proceeded to pummel MS
ghostship in true slugging style.
Some companions OF the ghost, VINO mad
secreted themselves to see the fun, then
found it necessary to interfere and save the
joker from further punishment. 1t is now
understood among these boys that ghosts

who have enlisted as Christian warriors in

Postal Clerks and Scholars Want Their
Grievances Adjusted.
LONDON, September 29.-The postal
clerks held two large meetings to-day and
formally protested against the rate of pay
they are receiving and the treatment of
their demands by the secretary. They
have decided to form union, and a strike
will probably follow unless their grievances
are adjusted.
A novel strike has been inaugurated bv
the scholars of Harwich school. The pupils
demand shorter hours at lessons and better
teachers of the daily process observed.
They also denounced the masters.
