original challenge was rejected by St John and
he issued another The McKeesport sculler
has accepted this and still no match is made.
Two or three races between Teemer and Gau-
daur would be interesting. Although Teemer
has beaten the st. Louis man it is by no means

ought to have anything but the worst of two
mile race with Teemer.
Weir and Murphy.
One of the great events of the week has been
the battle between Ike Weir the Belfast Spi
DER" and Frank Murphy for the featherweight
championship of the world. The battle was
somewhat out of the ordinary. the way battles
go nowadays. There were sufficient number
of points in it to enable us to come to a conclu-
sion as to which is the better fighter of the two
and there were also plenty of bad points which
can be utilized to show that both men can learn
a little more. Doubtless the battle was in some
respects an extraordinary one. Il was terrific
and 1t was harmless. As a real battle it lasted
only very short time, and as burlesque it
lasted 50 three minute rounds. Not long
ago good judges would have laughed at
the idea that two pugilists, with hard gloves,
could have faced each other so rounds under
Queensserry rules. The great object of the
latter was to have nothing but real business,
which was thought to mean that any two men
fighting under @. r. would have to fight from
the word go. Such battles as that of Meyer
anu McAuuue anu weir anu murphy, INV
ever, put different phase on the matter. We
can now safely say that two pugilists can re-
main in a ring under Queensberry rules just as
long as sleep, hunger anu leg WEAKNESS will
permit them. Surely matters have come to
such pass that something ought to be done to
prevent such contests. In many respects it
would be far better to have no Queensberry
rules at all. 1 am aware of the many good
qualities of the rules mentioned, but doubt
very much whether or not two men of equal
weight fighting for the championship should
adopt them. Certainly it would be in keeping
with custom that is as ''old as the hills to
have every championship title contested for
under London prize ring rules

The Leasne Teams.

During the week all the National League
teams have been playing except, of course
Chicago. All of them have done tolerably well
except the Pittsburgs. indianapolis has had a
tough time with Louisville, but Shreve was
puzzle that the Colonels couldn't solve Cleve-
land vanquished the st. Louis LOT, nearly shut
ting them out New York has done well and
50 has Philadelphia. Altogether. judging
from general results, the teams seem to be in
tolerably good shape. New York at present
looks the most formidable.

The Work of the Club.

Nobody who is interested in the welfare of
the local team need be discouraged because of
the apparent poor showing it SO far has made.
The games and general circumstances so far
have been such that there really is nothing to
lead us to any reasonable conclusion regarding
the merits or dement's of the team. 1t GER
tainly would be unreasonable to expect the
players to be in anything like good condition
yet Until they are, that is, until they are in
sound playing form, it would not only
be premature but unfair to criticise.
Besides, we cannot expect a team
to play with that vim and determination in a
contest where there is nothing at stake that
would characterize them in a championship
struggle. 1t seems to me a fact that no team
could steal II bases on a pitcher like Pete Con-
way were he in earnest about his work Yet an
inferior aggregation like the Kansas City team
pilfered that many from HIM on Thursday
This, to my mind, proves the statement of Mr..
Phillips that the players are merely out for
practice. A few of the team have done well.
That perennial youth, Jimmy Calvin, has com
menced we'll So has Smith, Beckley and
Miller Smith, in fact can always do well in
the field. Lauer, the new catcher has given
excellent satisfaction so far, and altogether
there is not much to complain about yet.

Where Will Ward GOe

Another phase of the Ward controversy has
presented itself John NJ. has sternly refused
to obey the mandates of President ]. B. Day re-
garding the Washington deal and at present
the former is simply a reserved man. 1t is now
a certainty that he will not go to Washington,
because President Hewitt has very wisely COM
menced to expend that $1,000 in purchasing
two or three other good players. 1t may be
that President Hewitt's club will be all the bet
ter for Mr.. Wards refusal. Two such men as
Wise and Morrill,, together with another good
man. are certainly worth more than Ward in
team. Where Wards destination will be for
the season is hard to say. II President Day car
ries out his threats Ward Will play nowhere but
will simply be kept on the reserve list. How
ever, it seems that a result of this kind is not
at all likely to happen. L don't think that Mr..
Day has the least fear of Ward or the brother
hood. That body is practically useless in the
matter. but 1 do think that Ward is too
good man for Mr.. Day to put on the shelf
for a season. Sooner than do that fancy Mr.
Day would sell Ward to Boston. However it
is likely that Ward will remain in New York.

mated from the brain, if not the heart,
called human.
Here we, with the same morbid curioS-
ity which brought the crowd of sight
Sccrs, looked into the room in which the
innocent young princes were most ioully
killed. and saw the spot where their
bones were recovered years upon years
afterwards, and borne to their present
resting place in Westminster Abbey, and
where innocent Anne Bolcyn was cruelty
bchcadCd i'll order to make room for an
other Mrs. Henry VIII, and where the
gallant knight, who first established our
own colony, was confined and doomed to
death; and then we painfully climb the
narrow winding stair to BcauChanlp
Tower, whose rugged walls of stone not
so hard us the hearts OF the tyrantS, are
indcntcd with scrolls and cmblcms,
placed there by the poor prisoners who
thus bcguilcd the weary days, of which
only too few were allowed them on
earth
At the Traitors gate, through which
the steps lead down to the Thames, we
fancy we can see the barge rowcd up to
deliver its burden, brought from the
Judgment scat of Westminster Hall into
the cold stern embrace of these massive,
rowning walls, from which there could
be no escape other than through the
gate of death.
Now is it not Il marvellous thing that
the outcome of all these horrors should
he a nation such as this, in which every
individual seems to feel Il personal inter
est in his sovereign? Would we not
more naturally expect that the people
would be reused to indignant rebellion
against government in which it was
ever possible for such deeds to he en-
acted? And yet the fact faces us that
Great Britain is the most powerful ma
ton of the world, and that its chici
strength consists in the absolute dcvO-
ton OF the people to their Queen. Oh. il
they would only teach their bakers how
to make decent bread, and their BARRIERS
to give Il comfortable shave, what glo-
rious Ilnd this would be-. r. W. i.

DESTRUCTIVE FOREST FIRES
The Atmosphere for Miles Around
TkiCII with smoke and CinSlerS.

Chicago, August 1.i.-A special from
Portland, Oregon, SAYS: The atmoS
phcrc for miles around is thick will
smoke and cindcrs, and burning brands
arc falling i'll showers. MI the north
western country seems to hc burning VI
in forest fires. The smoke has been 81
dense i'll Portland for the last two OF
three weeks that, Tor Il time, it was I'M,
possible to see far up the street, and the
sun and moon looked like balls of fire.
In the harbUr the smoke has had tho
effect of fog, and steamers have been re-
uuircd to blow their whistles every few
minutes to avoid collisions. 1t is est
mated that the total damage by for,
est fires in the northwest this year will
amount to S5OO,OO0. Several farm
houses have been burned, with stables,
produce and stores. Several thousand
oIds of wood have been consumed.
Yesterday the flames swept down on
the settlement OF Cedar Mills and left the
country barren. The people i'll some i'll
stances had scarcely time to escape, and
had to hurry through the woods, the fire
qeing so thick along the regular roads.
An extensive fire is raging i'll southern
Oregon, south of Rosebud, and num-
her of houses have been burned.
Some of the forest fires arc the work OF
trampS. If they are not treated well ut
any place, they start fires out utrcvcnpc.

men concealed in the house fred upon them;
Both men were slightly wounded, but succeeded

General Beaver.
Special TeleRrsmt to The Dispatch.
HARRISBURG, May 21-The Governor this
evening signed Senator Delamater's bill pro-
viding for the incorporation and regulation of
savings banks without capital stock, established
for the encouragement Of saving money sena-
tor Delamster introduced this measure at the
request Of Postmaster General Wanamaker.
It is similar to law in operation in New York,
The Governor also approved the bill to pro-
tect women and children who work in factories
and mercantile industries. It provides for one
State Factory Inspector at 8, 500 and six depu-
ties at $1,000 year. The bill is modelled on a
law of England, and was warmly supported by
Judge Kelly's daughter and 9th er women The
act forbids minors from being employed longer
than six hours day in factories
The Governor also signed the following bills:
Authorizing companies incorporated for the
supply of water to the public, or for the supply
of water and water power for commercial and
manufacturing purposes, to condemn property
and rights for the purpose of obtaining and
supplying water or water power; providing
for extension of time TO corporations that have
commenced work on buildings or other i'm.
provements.
