An EIghteen Carat Fake.

People interested in base ball affairs,
says the Omaha Bee, can make up their
minds that the much-talked of brother
hood scheme is fake made out of whole
cloth, and can be dismissed without
further apprehension. The national
league is in no possible danger. All Of
the safeguards that have been thrown
around the great national game have ema-
mated from the league. The tu-partite
agreement, its successor, the national
agreement, the reserve rule and all other
sound and practical measures which have
assisted in elevating the standard of the
sport in its present high position came
from this grand old body. Sunday play
ing and liquor selling are not tolerated on
league grounds, and in case of an uprising
among disgruntled players, who are all
paid three-fold more than they are worth,
the people will remember these things and
stand by the league which has fostered
the sport and made it's perpetuation pos
sible. However, it is boldly reiterated
the whole matter is fake of the first
water.

The standing of the clubs in the Vest
ern association was not materially affected
by the one or two games played on the
Sunday which closed the season. The
order of the clubs as heretofore given was
that which was maintained to the last with
only Slight variations in the matter of
percentages. The final standing of the
aggregations was: Omaha 665; 1t. Paul,
6l9; Minneapolis, $40; Sioux City, 5O4;
Milwaukee, 4S3; Denver, 421; st. oe, 1863:
Des Moines, 361.
Excitement among ball cranks found
opportunity for venting itself in the
league race which closed with SATURDAYS
games. On those games depended the
standing of four clubs. If New York had
lost and Boston won the final games, the
Beaneaters would have been winners Of
the pennant. Had both won, New York's.
supremacy would have been represented
by single game less lost in total of 126,
played. Had Philadelphia won it's final
game with Chicago, the third place would
have been secured to the Quakers on an
equally insignificant margin. But these
things did not happen. New York won on
Saturday, and Boston lost, so that the
Giants have a clear lead; likewise Chicago
beat Philadelphia, and ended secure

A Milk Peddler.

Court Commissioner Edmund Tauszky.
of San Francisco, has rendered report in
the matter of John G. de Silva, an insolvent
debtor, which will be of interest TO all
''milkmen" and Others who sell their wares
from wagoa. In the case in question De
Silva was the proprietor of the st. George
dairy, and was forced into insolvency by a
number of his creditors. His petition
stated that he was a dairyman and ped
der of milk" and he, therefore, claimed
as exempt from execution, two horses.
their harness and one wagon, by the use OF
which. as peddler, he earned his living.
The Receiver opposed the claim, holding
that as De Silva owned twenty-five cows,
four horses, bull and other property, ana
employed man as mixer, he could not
properly be termed peddler.
Commissioner Tauszky held that from
the Act, the decisions of Eastern Courts
aud the definitions Of Webster, that De
Silva was peddler, and that, therefore,
the property claimed by the insolvent was
exempt from execution. The claim that
De Silva was peddler was based upon the
fact that he sold no milk at his dairy, but
that he carried it all over the city in serv-
ing his one hundred customers, and also
that he sold it TO persons on the street
whenever he was hailed for that purpose
Furthermore, the milk supplied by his
cows was frequently insufficient to meet
his sales and he was obliged to purchase
additional milk from the milk depot

Metropolitan Thea,er.

Frederick Warde, the tragedian, had a
very large audience last night, despite the
heavy storm. 1t was an audience of high
character, and in that respect special ac-
acknowledgement of the superiority of Mr..
Warde's dramatic ability. The play was
" Virginius," with Warde in the title role.
1t was a consummate performance. The
company throughout is strong and afforded
the star the support essential to the char
acter of Virginius being well drawn. That
role in his hands was the coinage of art il
was such finished work as deserves to be
placed abreast of many of the triumphs of
the genius of Edwin Booth. The actor
identified himself so completely with the
part that the audience forgot it was the art
of playing and were carried irresistibly
upon the wave of feeling he awoke. His
Virginius accomplished a three fold
result. 1t satisfied the craving
for completeness in artistic effort-which is
an instinct of the mind; it quickened the
tenderest sympathies to an ecstacy of pain.
and sTayed the audience by intellectual
power. Some idea of the enthusiasm of
approval on the part OF theaudience may be
conveyed by the statement that at the close
| OF the fourth act Mr.. Warde was three several
| times called to the footlights. and on two
other occasions twice in succession. To the
excellence of the work of L. j. Henderson
Henry Weaver, Jr., Z. Deiemater, William
Stewart and Miss Adele Barrymore, much
of the completeness of the performance was
due. Tonight THE Mountebank," with

The ELECTION YESTERDAY.

Mixed Result.

Mixed Result.
The election which took place in this
city yesterday was an interesting but pecu-
liar one. The weather was stormy through
out the day, the rain falling in torrents at
times, but the ardor evinced on all sides in
" knitting" trading and scratching was not
dampened, and was study to witness.
This evidently was not confined to any par
ticular faction or candidates. but was quite
general and worked peculiar results.
The result of the contest for the office of
Second Trustee, in which the Republican
candidate was defeated by small majority,
was generally recognized as due to COM
bination of three causes. The first and
most conspicuous was the effort of local
bank to continue the city treasury ship
in one of its officers; second, the combina-
ton OF the saloon interests against the
head of the Republican ticket; and, third,
the struggle and trading between factions
for the control OF the Fire Department.
These causes were supplemented by trading
on the part of friends of candidates. by
which the heads of the tickets were made
to suffer.
TIE contest for the Office of Fire Com
missioner was, if anything, sharper than
tnat LOT SECOND trustee, anu resulteu III
the re election of w. D. Comstock by a
very large majority. To accomplish this
even the head of the Republican ticket
was punished.
The total vote yesterday of the city was
726, being 272 more than was cast in
March, 1883, and 1880 less than the total
vote at the Presidential election last No
vember.
The result of the election yesterday was
the choice of the following:
William Mclaughlin, Second Trustee,
Democrat.
E. H. Mckee, Auditor, Republican.
]. J. Buckley, Assessor, Republican.
Geo. A. Putnam, Collector, Republican.

The Sacramento Illustrated Cactus
Carl Browne, of Los Angeles, artist and
editor Of the Cactus. has issued an extra
number, sixteen pages, of that paper in
honor of the Inauguration of President
Harrison. 1t is a unique paper, with some
good and some poor drawing in it, but the
portraits of General Harrison, Vice Presi-
dent Morton. ] G. Blaine and very many
of the profile views of members of the
Senate and Assembly are good. They are
finished in gold and black, and must have
cost the publisher great deal of time and
unlimited patience. There are some excel
lent photographic views of public and pri-
vate buildings in Sacramento IN the main
sheet, and page of autographs of legisla-
tors beneath good picture of the Capitol
The inside eight-page sheet contains
a fine reproduction upon a smaller
scale of the RECORD UNIONS " Bird s. Eye
View of Sacramento" with the accom-
panying text. This is the best work of the
artist, and does him great credit. There are
several portraits on this page, one of which,
crowning it, is that of Senator Stanford.
There are also well-drawn-but with too
strong contrasts of light and shade-por-
traits of Colonel C. F. Croker and Colonel
Creed Raymond, occupying full
page. The text matter is mainly bio
graphical. The paper is very largely an
illustrated homographic chart. 1t is Gre
ditable to the pluck and enterprise of its
artist proprietor. and certainly deals well
and fairly by Sacramento. The REcoRD-
UNION acknowledges the full credit given it
by Cactus for the copy of the view Of Sac
