WORLD OF SPORTS.

Baltimore Is sadly in need of good deld general.
 Fogerty, of the Philadelphia, leads the league as pilferer of bases.
 PittsburR now, has tho services of both Morris and Calvin, who has been out of condition for three weeks.
 Washington would like to purchase the release of Carroll. of Pittsburg. and the latter will no doubt sell him.
 Clements Is battling so we'll for the "Phillies" that Harry Wright has put him second on the batting list.
 The cause of Bastian's absence from the Chicago team is illness, malaria hav- ing again attacked the little short stop.
 Harvard Is now out of the race for the first place in the intercollegiate'race, and will have to play great ball to finish bet ter than last.
 Ryan Van Haltren, Duffy and Anson, the leading quartet of the Chicagos on the score card, have a better record than any quartet in the league.
 The Kansas City team is far different from what 1t was last season. The men play with life and ambition. The beauty of their work Is in the team. Every man seeme to have one object in view and that Is to win the game.
 O6se Dall patrons not only m Pnllaoer phia but all over the country are glad to hear of the success of John Coleman as pitcher. If he continues to pitch as good ball against the association clubs as he did against the Cincinnatis, the Athletics have reason to be proud. Col man Is good batter and general player.
 President 6terns, of the old Detroit League Club, says that there are S60, GOO to be divided among the stockholders and not $54, ,000. That will give no profit to speak of, said MT. Sterns. It costs nearly that to get tho team together and sustain tt.

There Is No Doubt

That certain stores in each line of busi- ness of this city sell goods at lower prices than others. The perpleNing question to many who are not already we'll posted is to know where to go and find goods marked at uniformly low prices. Some dealers in order to gain patronage offer baits. that is, they mark a line of goods at really low prices while the balance of their stock remains marked at high prices. Of course the general public soon find out these tricks and consequently these stores are not the headquarters for the multitude. The large crowds they advertise in the papers never "materialize." Everybody says that our prices are the lowest. You want to.. save money and we save 1t for you. Satisfaction guaranteed Or money refunded.

arasi.h Manuel of Arm. in 1g7o-7s.

The idea that tho British troops in the war of independence did not take aim, but isted from the position of "charge h.yoiAets,' is simply preposterous. At the hattie of Fontenaw, 17i5, Voltaire rclls chat two English blttalions, the guan. and the Royal Scotch met face to faca ;y battalion of French guards and n SSiss battalion at distance of fifty l,lces, The story is we'll known. The Eagli sh colonel, Lord Charles Hay, cried eu;, 'Messieurs, tirez." They answered "Hehare the French guelrd and never fire flSt.."
 The order to fire was given by the English, and from single discharge 399 ,aen "f the French guard fell, of whom Hinet en were officers. Of the Swiss guard nearly an equal mum OCT fell. As suredly these English troops took aim and i.lod from the shoulder. The story of their firing from the position of "cha, so bayonets" may have arisen from some .,crNuus soldier having leen seen to discita:se his piece in raj sing it to the shouiivr. It was not uncommon for an ensl'.N CT who did not know his business well, to invert tho picture, ahd so to represent troops as firing from their left shoulder.-Notes and Queries.

.>..-- ourious Mental Phenomena

X Heading Frcnch medical paper pub fishes an interesting summary of on ac- count recently communicated to the So- which are embodied some of his ex- perience ol the effect of ether on per- sons at the point of death. It Is we'll known fact that the dying are often able to see the principle facts of their lives. which otherwise have been forgotten for many years. clearly and accurately before them. The reason for this clafvoyance NJ. Fere ascribes to a sudden moditica- tion of the cerebral circulation, which can be brought about by artificial means Thus he tells of 0 case of patient who was..dying of consumption.
 He had already lost consiQusness. when having been revived by two suo- cessive injections of one gramme of ether the dying man slowly raised his head which on one near him was able to under stand. as they were Flemish. After some movements indicating impatienoe. he made a sign that he wished to write. A pencil and paper were then handed to hlm. and he wrote rapidly three or four lines, also in Flemish. This man. who was native of Antwerp, had lived at Paris for many years and never wrote or spoke anything but French, but when lect that language. Afterward 1t was found that his pencil note was about 0 debt of fifteen francs. which he had hor- rowed from somebody at Brussels in 1868 and which had never been paid.
 In another case the patient was dying of lung disease. He had tainted several times, and no longer replied to any questions put to him. His pulse was all but gone. but after an injection of ether he turned his head toward his wife, say ing rapidly: "You will not find that pin. for all the floor has been remade," which was an illusion to an incident of years before. After uttering these words breathing ceased.

ChivnlHOus Mexioa ms.

The gallant act of Sir Walter Raleigh, in spreading h,s cloak before Queen Eliza beth to save her feet from the mud, will always be remembered as an in- stance of knightly devotion. Yet the act has paiallels, all the more noteworthy i'll that they sometimes occur when the recipient ot the courtesy is no queen but an humble maiden. The author of "A White Umbrella in Mexico" describes such a scene:
 Oncc caught sight of a ceremony not often seen in Ecantevas, an,S rarely met with elsewhere, In the middle of the street. upon their knees on the rough stones, walked, or rather crawled, two native Indian girls dressei in white, their heads bare, their black hair streaming down their backs, thcir eyes atlame with excitement. Both ciasped to their breasts a small wooden cruciiiX. Surrounding them were a dozen half crazy dcvotees, whose frenzied cries swclled the chant of the younSos; pcaitcnt.
 Suddenly, from out u pulQue shop, on the opposite corner, dartod three meE, evidently peons. With a quick moyc- ment they divided the pressing crowd, prang ahca! of tho girls, and, taking their own Zarapcs from their Fl Sulders, penitents.
 As the girls crawled across them, the first peon would again seize his zarape, run ahead, and respread it.
 'It Is penanco. senor," said q by stander, mot often seen here. The girls believe they have committed some great sin. They are on the way to Los Reme- dios, the chapel that you see on the hill yonder. But for these drunken peons, they would leave bloody track '--Ex. change.

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.

X Valuable Horse Belonging to Wtl-

 There was lively runaway on Grand street this morning. One of Meigs X Trott's horses attached to a bakery wag- on ran away colliding, with one of Will liam Grilley's teams standing opposite his paper stock store on Grand street. The team collided with such force that the shaft of the bakery wagon was driven into the side of the white horse attached to Mir Grilley's wagon. Dr Bland was called but found the animal so badly injured that he ordered it shot

Farm -aAoRsoAoss.

4 recent communication from Stat
istician Dodge, Of the agricultural de-
partment, with reference to farm.
mortgages contains q volume Of sound
sense. He protests against the exag.
gcrs;ed statements made about farm
mortgages III the West. He says these
loose assertions are unjust to the ag-
ricuiturai classes. Two years AGO an
extensive investigation of the subject
was made. and it showed q decrease
OF farm Indebtedness during q period
nf ten years. In his letter the Stats
tician says:
There has been altogether too
much misrepresentation of farm in
debtedress. Farmers of the south,
ives, aud east, averaging BY states. are
in far better financial position than
they were ten years ago: No one will
deny this, unless he has q crankish
theory to sustain by sweeping asser-
ton. The mortgages Of farms be-
You'd the Mississippi are mainly for
buildings, implements and improve
ments, and improvements in the max.
ing of homes on public or other cheap
lands, or in part for the purchase of
farms or additional lands. Aside
from home investment no idea of
land speculation enters into the calcu-
lations. 1t is debt as profitable in
vestment-mortgaging to make money
by men of small means and much
enterprise, mostly young men making
a start in life. The whine over the
burden of such indebtedness is an i'm
putation upon the manliness of west
ern character As in all speculation,
there is now and then one proprietor,
lacking diligence or business ability,
who loses his grip, but the foreclos-
ures Of farm mortgages are almost
unknown"
The senate will probably insert u
provision in the bill for the census of
l $50 which will insure a thorough ex-
into the na ture and extent
of farm mortgages -Cs pital- Com

So far Colby is not particularly in
terested in the propofed judicial can
didates in case of the formation of Il
new judicial district. From Oberlin
come three candidates and from Good
ian,' comes one. We opine that the
candidacy of these depends altogether
on whether the shoe string or compact
districts be organized. In case the
shoe string districts be organized,
Judge Pratt will preside over the
courts of the northern tier, and there
is no doubt in the minds of those in
position to know, but that Chas. w
Smith, of Stockton, will preside over
the courts of the southern tier. If
Decatur or Sherman county wants to
enter judicial candidates in this race,
they must see to it that Chas w.
Smith is shut up in another district
or they may consider the lists closed
against them.

Sherman county papers are deman-
ding that Oberlln support their candi-
date for district Judge in return for
which these papers are attempting to
give their support to the retention of
the land office at Oberlin. Gentle
men, mark one thing: Oberlin will
promise you anything, and will per-
form nothing She wants it all her
self. The parties who visited your
county may have promised you the
support you seek in the matter of the
judgeship, at the same time, nearly
every man, woman and child ia Ober-
lin had affixed his or her name to the
petition of one or other of the candi-
dates for that judicial appointment.
In the same way the support of Ober-
lin was pledged to a gentleman of
sheridan county for the position of
receiver of the q. s. Land Office; and
in the same way, the support of Ober-
lin was pledged 10 q gentleman of
Rawiins county for the position of the
receiver of the U. s. Land Office. Sor-
~ are we to say it, but Oberlin and
Oberlin people want the whole thing
apparently, and are willing to buy and
pay for it in promises. IL Goodland
expects to get anything IN the future
from Oberlin by working against the
interests of the people of Sherman
county and majority in this land
district. be at once undeceived-Ober-
Inns promises are but wind.
