von der Ahe is having more trouble. Rob- tnson, his second baseman, is on a strike. Robbie sent a boy from the St. Louis grounds for pair of pants. When the boy returned the gatekeeper refused to admit him to the grounds, for which he roundly berated by Robinson Mir. Von der Ahe took Robin son to task on the grounds, and after some hot words on both sides, fined the player $25. Robbie" refused to go to Kansas City with the team unless the fine was remitted. The team, with the exception of Comiskey and Duffee, sided with Robinson and joined him in the strike The men finally, at Robinson's request, took later train. Von der Ahe has notified Robinson that he will be fined $25 for four days, and unless he then joins the team he will be backisted for insubordina- tion. Robinson declares he will not play un- til the fine is remitted

Parnen Causes a Sensation,

During the cross-examination of MT. Par. nell, Attorney General Webster quoted statement made by Mr Parnell in the House of Commons in 1881, to the effect that secret societies had then ceased to exist in Ireland.
 Did you believe that when you said it?'' asked the Attorney General.
 "No," replied Mir Parnell "At any rate it vas d grossly exaggerated statement"
 There was a buzz of surprise throughout the courtroom at this response.
 Did you or did you not" continued the Attorney General, 'intend to misstate the facts when you made that statement?"
 II have no doubt did, |" was the reply.
 The Attorney y-General-Deliberately3
 MT. Parnell-Yes, deliberately.
 The Attorney Gencral-You deliberately made the statement, knowing it to be un- true?
 MT. Parnell-Yes; or if not untrue very,ex- travagant and boastful
 The Attorney Gencral-And you have never since withdrawn it?
 Mir. Parnell-No; have not.
 The snonchalance with which the witness made these admissions astonished the audi dence and clicited misses.
 Probably" added Mir. Parncll, "the state ment was meant to mislead the House. l am afraid it did not, for the bill was passed. My purpose was to exaggerate the effect the League had in reducing the number of secret societies The League undoubtedly dimin- ished the number of secret societies, though it had not swept them away. as 1 stated"

THE VALUE OF LONGEVITY.

Dr. Felix L. Oswald, in writing of the value of longevity. says:
 "Can there be doubt that Burns and Keats foresaw the issue of their struggle against bigotry, or that Cervantes, ill the gloom of his misery, could read the signs of the dawn presaging a sunburst of posthu- mous fame?
 ''Spinoza and Schiller died at the threshold of their goal; Pascal, Harvey, Macauley, Buckle and Bichat left their inimitable works died at the verge of a summit which perhaps no 6ther foot shall ever approach:
 "Who knows how often since the dawn of modern science, the chill of death has palsied q hand that had all but lifted the vail of Isis temple? Or in how many thousand lives time alone would have solved all discords into harmonies? An increase of longevity would indeed solve the vexing riddles of ex- istence; it would furnish the peculiar endorse ment of Mr. Mallock's conclusion. 1t would assert their equalizing tendencies, it would supply a missing link in the arguments of that natural religion that trusts the equi. poise of justice in the apparent caprices of human fate.
 "The price of longevity would redeem the mortgage of our earthly paradise and it can be prolonged and should be with care and the use of proper medicine at the right time.
 Owing to the stress. the worry, and the an noyance of everyday life, there is no doubt DUC.L0uU Ce0S OI U0OuSunuS OI 1ueu dIU WOueu yearly fill premature graves.
 Especially after middle life should a careful watch be kept over ones physical condition. The symptoms of kidney disease, such as be- coming easily tired, headache, neuralgia, feeble heart action, fickle appetite, splendid persistent cough, trouble in urinating, etc., should be diligently looked into and at once stopped through a faithful use of Warner Safe Cure, which has cured tens of thousands of such troubles and will cure yours. |
 Experiencing no pain in the region of the kidneys is no evidence that they are not dis eased, as those great purifying organs have very few nerves of sensation, and oftentimes the kidneys are positively rotting and being passed away through the urine before the victim is aware he is suffering from advanced kidney disease, which is only another name for Bright's Disease.
 To preserve life and to be we'll while you live are two cardinal virtues, and it is time we'll spent to give this viIal subject earnest and careful attention, and to use the knowl- edge acquired in Q judicious and intelligent manner.

RIOT OF RAILROAD STRIKERS.
A Posse of Const bles Fire Into a
 Mob of Huns and Italians.

dispatch from Reading, Penn, says: A volley of a dozen or more rife shots was fir- ed into desperate gang of foreign railroad laborers on strike near Orwigsburgh One Italian was badly wounded, and two others slightly. The trouble began when the Huns and Italians demanded an advance in wages from $1 10 to SIPS, and were refused. They were employed grading the new road through the coal regions from the Schuylkili to the Lehigh. Nearly 100 men on Contractor kerns's section quit work, and, armed with pick handles, cart whips and clubs, they marched out determined to compel every man of the 400 on the grade to quit work and join the strike. Gaynor & Lea's men were first attacked and driven into the ranks of the strikers. The rioters then marched to Contractor Pickert's section. With great noise they rattled along the cut, with doz- en stalwart, big-whskered Italians leading.
 The strikers were warned off by the boss in charge, but they refused to listen to the warn- ing. They were told there were armed con stables among the men. At this the Italians attacked the boss with clubs. and were about beating him to death when the posse among Rickert's men seized their Winchester rif1es which were hidden in the cut, and fired away. The leader of the gang was the only man shot at, the others having fired in the air. The leader dropped, badly wounded. The others fell back, but the wounded man was carried to the shanties. The Sheriff, with twenty men, then arrived and arrested ten of the ringleaders. which for a time quieted the mob.

Race Troubles fin Canada.

The bitterness between the French and En. glish in the Province of Montreal, seems to be growing more aggravated every day, and the French Press is replying to the antilles nit agitation by attacks on the English mi nority. "La Patrie," the organ of the Pro- viDcial Government, hints that Morrison who shot a bailiff in Megantic, will escape justice because he is an Englishman, and draws parallel between his case and that of Riel 1t says:
 Morrison is caught. He will be judged This time we ask one law for all Morrison is a murderer. He has assassinated a bailiff, fired two shots at the policeman who went to arrest him. Let him pay for his crimes, and let there be no race considerations to save him from the gallows which he deserves Let the law follow its course. It is our turn to speak out, and the fanatics who for four years have insulted us will learn the truth of their own proverb, Every dog has his own day."
 These utteranees are causing good deal of irritation among the English portion of the community, and every effort will be made to save Morrison. The subscriptions to his de- fense fund already amount to S6,OOO and there will be no lack of funds when the trial comes of.
 The trial will probably be held at Sher- brooke, and Morrison can safely count upon the national prejudiees of the jury to secure a disagreement.
