GENERAL SPORTING NEWS.

The Brotherhood scheme still attracts
the attention of the ball players, and as
days go by the assumption is gradually
developing into realty that the League
and Association have formed an alH
arce against the organization.
The League policy at this time is hat
OF tilling the Brotherhood mems places
with the best young players to be OBJ
tanned, and playing at cheaper rates, so
as TO diminish or wipe out all possible
profits for the Brotherhood teams, and
thus bring dissensions into their ranks.
Up to the present this method las been
clearly defined by the National League
clubs securing material in the Western
Association. In this the alliance has
shown it's hands, but thus far the Broth
erhood managers have withheld their
scheme. The Brotherhood men have
only one reason to offer for concealing
their plans. 1t is a belief that if the
League people knew the extent of the
revolt they would term nate the present
contracts at the end of the champion
ship season, instead of November l, and
that thereby members of the Brother
hood would suffer financial losses at a
bad time. This argument is not good,
for the reason that the courts would
oblige the various clubs to pay their
players for the full term covered by the
contracts.
The batting and fielding averages of
the principal players III the National
League for the season just ended are as

President MOOlseY.

Writing in the Atlantic about the late
President Woolsey of Yale, Prof. j. II.
Thayer of harvard SAYS: ''Of his prl-
vate worth this is hardly the place, even
were space left, to speak. His scrupu-
lousness was so punctilious that he had
been known to decline to use. in COM
pleting a personal payment, small
portion Of a sum of money in his pos
session belonging TO others, though.able
to replace the unauthorized loan within
FIVE minutes. On one occasion, a
foreign laborer, through Ignorance OF
our language and travelling usages, found
himself carried by the train beyond his
point of transfer, and compelled to lind
quarters over Sunday, stranger IN
strange city. The mans evident dis
tress moved the compassion OF his tel-
loI-travelers seated near him; but Or.
Woolsey, on alighting from the train,
was observed to track him through the
crowd, and give him the means of meet
ing his extra outlay. Over a temper
naturally vehement President Woolsev
had acquired degree Of mastery which
to his intimates was often marvel; and
he exhibited sometimes heroic silence
which was more than golden, was
sanity. His unseihshness was ideal.
No man, it may be asserted fearlessly,
vas ever taken to task by him for
sighting, either in reality or In appear
ance. his claims or merits"

The steamer Corona, OF the Ouachita
Consolidated line, left New Orleans at

midstream, just below the landing AT
Arbroth, and had just whistled to pass
the City OF st. Louis, fortunately coming
down at the time. The explosion had u
downward tendency, and blew out the
bottom of the boat, causing her to sink
mediately. The cabin WAS torn in
two, the rear portion floating down
stream and bearing a number of the

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. THE Rev. VIM.
Dave, pastor of Tabernacle Methodist
Church, and one of the most prominent
Temperance workers in the state, has
just returned from six months So
lourn in Germany and brings back with
him some advanced views on the tenn
peranca question-views that may make
him trouble in his church. To local
newspaper Mr.. DAVE said to-day: =:
when 1 went abroad l had precon-
ceived notions that the Germans
were bloaied, drunken people
whose strength was rapidly being
wasted in riotous living. Thought that
beer drinking was the greatest sin of the
age, leading to stronger liquors and
bringing ruin to all. | have changed
my mind. While in Germany | saw no
drunkenness except among English
speaking people. The beer gardens, rs
far as ! saw them, were respectable and
entertaining and as well behaved as a
large church supper or prohibition pic
mic. Families sit down together and
spend their evening amid fountains,
lovely flowers and enhancing music and
return to their homes as orderly as any
people from social gathering. In this
country the use of liquors is d curse, but
in Germany it is different"

He was accompanied by +. Ii. Toledano,

attorney, and came TO lay before the

against William Reid Lewis, United

by his attorney the story is like this:
Benezuli was a merchant in Tangier,

sui. About two years ago he was ar

alleged conspiracy to kill debtor, an
other resident of Tangier, bv employ

rived in New York, and will
stay in this country until
his case is determined. He asks that
suitable reparation be made him for the
indignity and sufferings endured be-
cause of the consul's acts President
Harrison heard the story through, and
after assuring the gentleman that the
case should have careful investigation
and attention, sent him to Secretary
