THE BALL Pr AYERS WILL FIGHT,

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct 25-The Sporting
News of this city will contain tomorrow a
rather startling article on how the league
intends to fight the Brotherhood of Base
Ball Players. The scheme is nothing more
no less than the consolidation of the Ma
tional league and Americ n association
into one organization of ten or twelve
clubs, the Improbable cities of both bodies
being dropped, each club to contribute a
large sum toward a guarantee fund and
money in this fund will be used in the new
association in fighting the brotherhood
league should there be any in existence
next year. The information. it seems, has
been received from reliable source.
KANSAS CITY. Mo, Oct. 25.-Chris Won
der Abe of ST. Louis, arrived in here today
from Omaha with the Browns, who are
playing the Cowboys for the champion
ship of Missouri. Won der Abe was seen
by reporter tonight and questioned con-
corning the statement that the League
and American association and all other
clubs were to combine for the purpose Of
fighting the brotherhood. He said: "The
statement is authentic, but the scheme is
not fully enough developed for publica-
ton. So long as it has got out, However.
| will tell all l know about it, The pur-
pose of my recent visit to Chicago was to
consult with Mr.. Spaulding about the
amalgamation of the two organizations.
He looked with favor upon the scheme
and | believe it will be accomplished.
So far rs agreed upon now the
details of the plan are as follows: AS the
dispatch states, the new organization will
be composed of twelve clubs, four of the
weakest clubs being dropped. Indianapo-
lis. Washington and Louisville will not be
taken in and the Philadelphia league club
will buy out the Athletics. The players
then will be distributed upon some equaliz
alton plan yet to be determined upon. Each
of the twelve clubs will be required to
deposit 81 900 to general fund This will
he used in fighting the Brotherhood. The
gate receipts at all games will be divided
on basis of 40 per cent. to the visiting
and GO per cent. to the home club. That is
as far as the plan has been developed. A
special joint meeting of the directors OF
the different clubs will be held soon and
the scheme will be formally presented to
them then"

Girls with Goats Appetites.

Biddeford and Saco girls have some queer
tastes One lady makes an excursion to thu
brick yard each summer and lays in suppl!
of nice blue clay to eat through the winter.
Another's favoribe dainty is a soft brick, and
long experience has taught her how to select
the choicest specimens at a glance. Each Of
these ladies has lived to good old age to en-
Joy her favorite dishes One young lady may
often be seen picking from the sidewalk soft,
shelly rocks, and after a nibble to see If they
are just right. transferring the rock to her
pocket for future consumption. Soft clay
pipes, which one girl buys by the dozen,
ground up slate pencils, chalk, sea sand, white
rags, brown wrapping paper and starch are
among the favorite lu1uries Of others.
Perhaps the queerest taste OF all is that for
ashes. One young lady is said to delight in
coal ashes and to be often seen raking over
old coal ashes for lump only partially
burned, upon which there is nice, clean
white ash. Another has but recently broken

HERCULEAN STRENGTH.

Continually on the strain, or overtaxed
at intervals, is far less desirable than or :
binary vigor perpctuated by rational diet
and exercise, and abstention from excess.
Professional pugilists and athletes rarely
attain extreme old age. AS ordinary vigor
may be retained by wise regard for sani-
tary living, and for protection against
disease which timely and judicious medi-
cation affords, SO also it may be lost
through prolonged sendentary labor unin-
terrupted mental strain, and foolish eating
and drinking, the chief and most immedi-
ate sequence of all four being dyspepsia.
For this condition thus, or in any way in
duced, and nerve power, Hostetters
Stomach Bitters is the primest and most
genial of remedies. Not only Indigestion,
but loss of flesh, appetite and sleep are
remedied by it. Incipient malaria and
rheumatism are banisned, and kidney,
bowel and liver complaint removed by it.

The CASE NOT SERIOUS.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The cable dis
patch from Sidney of reported engage

Tamasese was shown to state department

KANSAS CITYS MuNlFIcENcE.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 25.-The city
council last Monday night voted an appro-
priation of $1,000 to be expend-
ed in the entertainment Of the
Pan-American tourists on the occasion of
their visit to this city. This evening the
mayor returned the ordinance authorizing
the expenditure to the council without his
approval. The council heretofore had not
needed the mayors veto of similar ordi-
nances and the returned ordinance tonight
was accompanied by written opinion by
the city counsellor in which the statement
was made that the city's charter would
not permit the expenditure of public
money in the manner indicated, and
warning the aldermen that should they
pass the ordinance over the mayors head
they would be committing misdemeanor
for which, if convicted, they could be
made to serve term of one year i'll the

An Interesting Discovery Made In Tn

Sierra Madre Mountains.
A Mexican archaoloCist. Senior Mar
ghiere. has recently made an interest,"
ing discovery of naturally mummiiied
human bodies in a cavern in the Sierra
Madre Mountains. The cavern is Of u
natural origin. and lies ut the height OF
about 1000 feet above the sea. The
mouth of the opening had been artifi-
cially closed with sun-dricd bricks and
stones. so contrived as not only 10 close
hut to conceal the entrance. In the
cave the dcssica;ed remains of four
human bodies We're found. apparently
all members Of one family. the father.
mother. a boy and "a girl. The bodies
We're in the position so commonly
given 10 the dead 10y American Indians;
they were in a sitting posture. the
hands crossed over the breast. and the
bead inclined forward tow ard the
knees. They all were placed with their
faces toward the East. and were
shrouded in burial garments.
In articles concerning these remains
the writer assumes that the preserva-
ton of the bodies was due to the pecu-
liarly high and dry atmosphere of this
southern cline and elevated level. In
this conclusion he is mistaken. for the
reason that. in nj least one case OF a
human body. discovered about fifteen
years ago in "A avern nea the Natural
Cave in Kentucky, n similar natural
d~esiccaiion had taken place. The re-
mains were those Of "A child twelve or
fourteen years OF age. The unfortu-
nate creature had evidently been lost
in the cavern. and had wandered until
starvation brought about death. The
position Of the body was that Of per-
feet reoose. showing that the sleep Of
exhaustion had passed into the res, o.

expression Of the face remained despite
