STARVING CHILDREN.
Striking Illinois Miners and Their
 Families in a Destitute Condition.
Boys and Girls Half Naked-SufYering
 Likely to Increase.

Henry D. Lloyd of Chicago, who has just returned from visit to Spring Valley, 1n., where he distributed among the destitute miners medicines furnished by charitable New York lady, writes long letter, in which he describes the wretched condition of the people there. He says:
 Among other means of getting intelligent and unbiased information as to the exact state of things, visited the Catholic school and the public school, in which, together, the teachers and many of the children. The sisters who teach in the Catholic school said that their children gave unmistakable evidence of not having sufficient food. Children would frequently fall asleep at their desks from weakness. In food was taken by children it was immedi- ately rejected by the stomach, showing how far the exhaustion of hunger had gone. In both schools numbers of the children were insutticiently clothed, little boys and girls of the tenderest age having on only some light sack or jacket. with no underclothing. One cold, bleak day many were barefooted.
 How the people have lived at all is n mys- tery: There have been during the last four weeks ending Sept. 9, five distributions by the relief committee, all in goods. No money has been given out and the extent of this "charity" is sufficiently indicated by the statement taken from the account of the committee that each family of seven, and
 
 entire period of four weeks, flour, meal. etc.. to the value of $5.SS, or S4 cents worth for each person for the whole four weeks. The mayor of the city, the editor of the Spring Valley Gazette, the Congregational clergy man, all the physicians of the place, stated without qualification, that were it not for the relief from without the people would have starved.
 Mir. Lloyd declares that the death rate is high there, and that it will be greatly iu- a c ha Q ,l clares that of his own knowledge the sick and poor have been refused medicines and medical advice by the poor authorities there. He urges that contributions be sent to these

 Orders have been given to hold 50,00O troops in readiness to occupy the roadway in the event of the Cars returning home di- rect,y from Berlin.
 EX-President Grevy thinks that the cleo tions will result in giving France 2 more stable government than she has had since 1870, and that the new members of the Chamber of Deputies are just what he re quired when he was President.
 Ex-King Milan telegraphs to his regents as follows: May good fortune attend the first Skuptschna elected under the new constitu- tion. I trust that it will assure the country 8 settled government.
 Henry Irving has invoked the aid of the lord chamberlain to stop Leslie's burlesque of him in ''Petticoats." The Gaety manager says that if he is obliged to suppress the character of Irving, he will substitute that of Kyrle Bellew.
 The Tagblatt, referring to the presentation by MT. Phelps of his credentials as United States minister to Germany, says that the Emperor's reply to the speech of Mir.

BASE BALL,

Brouthers has made his 10th hit of the season and his batting average was .3S1.
 "Pop' Smith was initiated into the Boston chapter of the brotherhood of league players last week.
 The ROckports have finished their brilliant season with a record of P games won, 9 lost and tied.
 Pitcher Henry Boyle of the Indianapolis club has been laid off without pay for his poor work. The matter will be brought be- fore the league brotherhood.
 Cobb, Aldrich & Co.,, the well known gro- cers of Boston, wired an offer of 1000 of their "Agnes Booth" cigars to the Bostons, pro- vldlng they won the championship.
 The best players have their off days. Null vey, as well as Nash, made three errors in one game last week, and there are no players ill the professor more steady or reliable.
 Manager Hart has contracted with G. rapher, to furnish him with large number of the cabinet photographs and superb groups of the Boston players to be used for adver- Using purposes on their California trip.
 Here is sample of Ewing's talk to Umpire McQuaid in the Indianapolis game which the Giants lost: ssPut your eyes in the front of your head. Be a man or monkey; don't be cross between the two. I don't think you're robber, old man; but if this isn't a case of petty larceny l never was out of jail.'
 The New Havens have disbanded. All the players of the New Haven nine will be re- served for next year. but it is not probable that all of them will play on the nine again. Whether it will be an American Association team depends largely on what the association sees fit to do. If New Haven is wanted req sonable terms can undoubtedly be arranged.
 Manager Bancroft well says: ''I trust that if New England league is started next year as much forethought will be given to living the season through as there is to winning the championship, which is an empty honor if done at the expense of wrecking the associa- ton such champions belong to. A champion ship pennant flying over vacant park is all expensive luxury, and promotes a state of affairs anything but healthy to base ball.''
 The New York syndicate of the brotherhood of base ball players has leased the two blocks of ground lying between One Hundred and Fifty-seventh and One Hundred and Fifty. ninth streets and Eighth and Ninth avenues for term of 10 years, at an annual rental Of $24, ,OOO. They also leased the new polo grounds at One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street, now occupied by the New York team, for term of 10 years, subject, however, to the lease now held by MT. Day for two years.

BOULANGER EXPLAINS.
He Says The French Governments Money
 Beat Him.

Boulanger has spent the week in endeavor- ing to explain his defeat and to persuade the world that he is as big a man as he was q week ago. The only point upon which Bouanger seems to be positive is that electors were bribed by government gold, and ballot papers were manipulated by ministerial myr- midons. The anti-Boulangists have estimated the generals expenditure upon the recent elections as f.2, ,OOO, while Bouanger's partisans assert with much confidence that f.1O, ,0O0 ,O0O, at least, were taken from the secret service fund for the purpose of elec- toral corruption. Boulanger does not seem to realize that he has been badly beaten-so badly, indeed, that many of his time-serving followers are already deserting him.
 The general has issued an address to the electors of Montmartre, in which he says they have replied to the iniquitous charges of the Senate by electing him to the Chamber. The gov ernment, finding it's trickery of no effect, has resorted audaciously to the annull- ing of votes. This, the general declares, was an act of sheer brigandage. The rights of the electors and their privileges had been trampled under foot. The Republicans ought to see that the rights of the voters were re- stored.

Railroad and Financial Tips.

The "shake-up' of the past few days has apparently not changed the bullish under tone of the market. Sugar and Atchison were raided simply because they were not in position to resist an attack and the traders knew it. Lively covering of shorts turned the tide in the first-named speciality. The bidding up of money temporarily to 10 per cent. played directly into the hands of the bears.
 Eastern common will receive dividend. It will be 1-2 and possibly per cent.
 This information comes from 8 gentleman who is very intimate with Eastern matters, and who is always reliable in his statements.
 Boston X Maine will get it's full 10 per cent. of course.
 A rubber trust is now in the stocks. Those interested are Messrs. Converse of the Bos- ton Rubber Shoe Company, Coolidge of the Para Rubber Company, Evans of the American Rubber Company, and Bannigan of the Woonsocket Rubber company of Prov idence.

 The fifth race furnished sensation. The Finite lilly was warm favorite, Kempland a second choice. Kempland showed the way to the upper turn, where the Annie lilly ran up, and Reagan deliberately pulled her head and crowded Kempland against the rail, both drew his whip across Days face. After passing the stand, Day rode up to Reagan and returned the blow which had been given to him in the stretch. Reagan re- taliated, and an impromptu mounted battle o,t mtn nf his psadaIe with hlow iron, tha hut end of whip, and in tue melee Kempland was thrown down,

self: These are the BOstons, New Orks, Charlestons and Savannahs of the Pacific coast. But after all this summers journey ing and my other journeys westward in other summers, I found that had seen only a part of the American continent, for Alaska is as far west of San Francisco as the coast of Maine is east of it, so that the central city of the American continent is San Francisco.
 I have said these things about the magni- tude of the continent and given you few specimens of some of it's wonders to let you know the comprehonsiyeness of the text when it says that Christ is going to have do- miniOn from sea to sea; that is, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Beside that, the sal vation of this continent means the salvation of Asia. for we are only thirty-siX miles from Asia at the northwest. Only Behring straits separate us from Asia, and these will be spanned by great bridge before another century closes, and probably long before that. The thirty-sX miles of water between these two continents are not all deep sea, but have three islands and there are also shoals which will allow piers for bridges, and for the most of the way the water is only about twenty fathOms deep.
 The AmericO-Asiatic bridge which will yet span those straits will make America, Asia, Europe and Africa one continent. So you see America evangelical, Asia will be evangelical. Europe taking Asia from one side, and America taking il from the other side. Our great grand-chil. dren will cross that bridge. America and Asia and Europe all one, what subtraction from the bangs of seasickness! and the prOph. ccies in Revelation will be fulfilled, "There shall be no more sea-" But do l mean liter. ally that this American continent is going tC be gospelized? I do.
