All the Colors of the Rainbow.

A FABLE.
From Great Thoughts.l
The sun was shining brightly; one
of his rays came in at the window of
room, and passing through glass
prism, fell In brilliant colors on the
white wall beyond. The colors began
to admire themselves, shown off as
they were to such advantage by this
becoming background.
"How gay l ami" said Yellow.
elbow gorgeous l ami exclaimed
Red.
"But Just look at my dalntiness,"
remarked Blue.
"And my richness" said Purple;
and so on, until, as you may have
observed before, self-admiration be-
gat depreciation of Others.
Then the colors began to dispute
which of them could show the best
right to lord it over the rest, and
make himself supreme. Each boldly
maintained his own claim.
Red insisted: II am the grandest
color, and all things should be red.
Mine is the fountain of life in mans
heart, and mine the browning grace
of woman, when my blush deepens in
her fair face. | glow in the bosom of

BASE DAlL MATTERS,
President Howell Returns Homs-Notc and

President Howell Returns Homs-NOte and
Comment-Yesterdny'A Games.
The Wheeling base ball club was
scheduled to open lis third series Of
three games at Hamilton yesterday, but
they didn't play, the gane having been
postponed until Sunday. President w.
B. Howell, who started out with the
team on this trip, returned home late
Wednesday night. He says the Sunday
games are keeping the Tri.State League
from being financially swamped. The
average receipts from a Sunday game
played in one Of the Ohio towns Is about
81 900, which, divided, gives each
club engaged $500. This, with what Is
picked up at the other games in the
week, enables the clubs 10 get along
very nicely. Mr.. Howell thinks 1t Is
discriminating unjustly against the
Wheeling club that Sunday games are
not allowed here, considering how open
saloons are allowed TO run on Sundays,
and that people In search Of amusement
in other directions are not molested. II
is estimated that the receipts from Sun.
day games here would average at least
$1,000.
President Howell says the Wheeling
team Is playing as good ball as could be
asked. The boys had the riot act read
to them regarding team work, and are
very sensibly following out the advice
given them. Kennedy, the briCkyard
"phenom," has become quite a star IA.
vorite in all the other cities ofthe League,
and there Is always good crowd when
1t is known he Is To pitch aud when a
hit Is made off him, the man making 1t
Is sloudly cheered.
Mr.. Howell yesterday received an offer
OF $500 from Manager Rowe, OF the Don.
yer club, for Kennedy's release, but de.
clined to consider II, It not being high
enough. He also received yesterday q
number Of applications from good men
for places In the team.
England, the one.armed pitcher from
Allegheny, was given his release yester.
day. Mr.. Howell said that he was sorry
TO have to let England 90, for he con.
sidered him good pitcher, but there
was such prejudice In the mind OF the
public against a one.armed man that
they were forced TO let him 70.
ltisin talking Of Umpire Brennan that
Mr.. Howell grows really eloquent. 1t Is
actually funny 10 hear him tell off game
at Springfield in which Stencil tried to
slide into third and was caught about
two feet from that base by Dunn, Bren-
nan rushed down TO the base, helped
Stencil 10 his feet, brushed the dirt off
him, and patting him on the shoulder
announced that he (stenzeD was all
right. The Wheeling boys were simply
raralyzed by that break, which was only
one OF the many. Mr.. Howell thinks
brennan Is wrong in his upper story.

A SENSATIONAL KIDNAPPING.

A Mother Walks into School Room and
Abduots Her ohild-The Teacher and
Pupils OysFpOwsFed and the Child
silsnesd.
CHICAGO, June 27,-The Hayes public
school was the scene of sensational case
Of kidnapping yesterday afternoon. Hat
tie, the l2.year.old daughter Of John and
Celia Thatcher, was stolen by her own
mother. The Thatchers were married in
Chicago thirteen years ago, Three years
after the marriage Mr., Thatcher gained .
suit for divorce, and the court awarded
him the custody OF the child, Hattie,
then 2 years OF age, Mr.. Thatcher gave
the little girl into her grandmothers
care, AT the close OF the public school
term one year ago Mrs, Thatcher, who
had made many attempts 70 obtain
possession OF the child, endeayored to
abduct her from the school yard. The
attempt was unsuccessful, as the child
was afraid Of her mother and refused to
go with her,
Yesterday afternoon, shortly before
school closed, a carriage closely curtain
ed, was driven up to the Hayes school
and woman alighted, She entered, the
school building and went directly to
Room s. The teacher responded to her
knock and the woman said she was Mrs.
Thatcher and asked to see her daughter
Hattie, but the girl refused to 60 to the
door. Mrs, Thatcher then apparently
went away, About five minutes later
the door opened and Mrs, Thatcher
dashed iuto the room. She seized the
little girl around the waist and started
for tho door. Miss Harmon interrupted
her at the door and made determined
resistance. Mrs. Thatcher was much
larger and more powerful than the
teacher, aud succeeded in getting the
door partially open, Miss Harmon
called for the pupils to assist
her and they came In body. Just at
this moment q young man, wearing a
very heavy mustache, entered the room,
and throwing Miss Harmon and the
children to one side, took the struggling
child from It's mothers arms and rushed
down the stairway, followed by the
mother. The man choked the child so
she could not scream. The Cabmsn
stood with the door Of the vehicle open
and they entered hurrledly. Then Mrs.
Thatcher applied q handkerchief TO the
little girls face aud she lay perfectly
quiet and the cabman turned about and
drove rapidly away. The police were
notified and are at work on the case.
The child's father and grandmother are
In much distress.

Temporary Refusal to Allow Chinese to be
Transported Across Continent.
WAsnINsroN, D. @. June 27,-Some
time ago the Treasury Department was
informed that it was desired to take
number OF Chinese laborers to the West
Indias, and application was made for
permission to take them through the
United States territory in transit, pro-
yided bond was given that none Of them
remain in this country. Tic matter was
referred to the Solicitor Of the Treasury
and he gave an opinion that there was
nothing in the law TO prohibit the land:
ing Of Chinese for the mere purpose oil
passing through the country. Secretary
Window, however, was not prepared 10
change existing regulations to this ex.
tent and directed a rejection OF the ap.
pliCation until the question could be
considered more thoroughly. Noiurthcr
action on the subject is at all likely,
however, as II is understood that ar.
rangements have been since made with
Canadian transportation companies by
which Chinese will be carried aCross tho
continent without tho necessity oil enter

THE RACES YESTERDAY


The Gentlemen's Driving Association
yesterday afternoon gave another Of
its pleasant race meetings on the
State Fair course, There were about
one hundred people present, fully one
fourth Of whom were ladies, whose pres.
ence added materially to the enjoyment
OF the occasion, There were two races
announced, a trot and apace, and It was
expected that there would be from four
to a hRlt,dozen horses In each race, but
as it turned out there were but two
horses in the trot and three In the pace,
DR., Refer drove his black horse in the
trot and Mr., A, Hamilton drove DIR,
Pipes little brown. Mr., Hamilton took
both heats easily, Dr.. Refers horse be-
having badly all through the race, The
time In each heat was about 2;40.
The entries for the pace were Mr.. A,
s. Lists "Dan," Mr., A, 7, Sweeney's
little roam, and large, handsome iron
gray stallion recently purchased in In,
diana, by Captain Tom Heskett. Mr.,
Sweeney was III and not able to drive,
and the other gentlemen, for that rea,
son, decided to keep down from behind
their horses aud let the trainers do the
driving. OF, Elsman was up behind
Mr., Lists horse and A, NJ, spellman
drove Captain Hesketts gray, The first
heat was o close one between the gray
and Mr.. Lists horse, and was won by
the former In 1886 Tho gray broke
several times, but never lost an inch,
and II anything, gained n tTiAe
on eack break, Mr.. Lists horse
paced without skip 10 the three.Quar-
ters, when he went up into the air Tor q
second or two, and In that time lost the
advantage he had held all along, Three
horses never had a prettier start in a
race than did the side.wheelers in their
second heat; q blanket would have
covered them all as they went under
the wire on the second score, and they
kept abreast TO the quarter, which was |
made in fast time and In such a pretty |
fashion that every one was delighted.
At the quarter Mr., sweeney's roam
broke badly, the pace being too hot for
him, while the gray and dan" travelled
on side by side 10 the hall. At thatpoint
one OF hDansP front weights came
loose, and he was at once left In the rear,
while the gray skipped to the mile, an
easy winner,
The judges stand was occupied by G.
Ed. Mendel, Harry Franzheim, Joseph
Speidel and S. P.Norton.
AS an extra attraction two well known
'ociety men, previous TO the races,
walked half mile for stake which they
ailed to get. They had the satisfaction,
however, OF having made the distance
n the good time ofI5;ls, and furnishing
plenty Of amusement for their many nd.
