TIE PRESIDENTS POLICY.

All manner Of stories are in circula-
ton concerning the views and policy of
the president. Truth Is, he is as badly
ratified by the uncomfortable predics-
ment in which he finds himself, as is the
! English Liberal party over the Psruell
en- brogiio.
He is jealous OF Blaine, and therefore
detests his reciprocity humbuggery.
How to kill the Blaine boom is puzzle
that deprlves Little Ben OF much needed
sleep. If that would do it, he would
tumble him out of the cabinet in a jiffy.
But is it polite to do 30? That is the
knotty problem.
They now say that he has undergone
change OF heart on the free coinage of
silver, which he is disposed to favor.
Playing into the hands of the gold bugs
at the last session of congress is. in his
opinion, the cause Of the political revul-
sion in the West. To regain favor in that
section, he believes that nothing more Is
needed but to conciliate the grange and
the alliances by conceding them free
coinage of silver. Secretary Window
opposes such makeshift policy. But
hang Window! Isn't lie a friend of
Blaine and Steve Elkns? Who cares for
that gang. IT they had their deserts,
they would soon be where mention of
them would no more be heard
opposed to the force bill? What good
can come of ldiSSez tdire in dealing with
the Democrats? Nothing but vigorous
and aggressive policy tempered with a
certain concession to the agricultural
GLASSES will suffice. So thinks Harrison,
If accounts Of him be true.
1t will not escape notice that he as
we'll as Blaine caters to the producing
class, the farmers and others, but In a
different manner. Blaine promises them
wider markets. and the president more
money. Blaine tempts them with a
dish of reciprocity broth, and Harrison
with platter OF free silver. Benjamin
has heard that money uplocks all doors,
and wins all prizes. He wants, there
fore, 10 employ It in securing q renomi-
nation for himself. He finds tina. he
can't stand upon his record; that 1t has
fallen into public contempt and that I'M
less he can buy popular favor with an
abundance Of free silver, his name is
McGinty. Hence his financial flop and
the grasping at straws.

pion be would appear like a boy, although
In weight he would hold his own very well.
His height is only about 8 feet 4 inches,
and his weight in condition about 100
pounds. Niooll Is of the same weight.
Nlcoll made his appearance on the track
during the year 1885. He took part In
many amateur walking races OF all dis
tances In the vicinity OF New York city and
met with success. He soon developed a
good style of locomotion, and at the end of
several years he was ranked among the
best. He competed In the championship
games in 1887, but did not win. In 1888 he
tool part In the American fixture again,
but was defeated. But he went to Mon
treal a few weeks later on his clubs team
and captured the three mile event in great
style, doing % min. ~ rs Sec, which was
the fastest time made there since 1888,
when U. p. Murray did 20 min. IL sec.
The season of 1889 opened well for him,
for he won a large number Of handicap
races, generally from scratch, in games
around New York and Philadelphia In
the fall OF last year he captured the three
mile championship walk of both America
and Canada. The American fixture was
held two weeks In advance Of the Cana
dian, and Nicoll vanquished his antag-
onists in the first flxture so easily that the
Canadian event was considered almost a
sure thing for him. He won the American
championship In % min. SO rs sec. The
track WAS very heavy owing to incessant
rain for almost a week, and the time does
not look extra fast on paper. 1t was a
most meritorious performance, and the
fact Of his winning the Canadian fixture,
where the track WAS good, In % min. Al 80
sec, proved that the speed which he had
shown the previous year was still In him.
His only noteworthy performance since
then Is his taking second place In the -four
milo scratch walk at the indoor games in
Boston, Mass, last April. He attributes
his defeat partly in this contest to the fact
that tho fudge OF walking was unfriendIy
TO him, and spoke to him about bis style OF
locomotion during the race, which made
him lose n little confidence In his ability to
show speed. Some judges consider his
style perfectly fair, while there are several
who do not think so.
His build Is very unusual and he Is de
cidedly thin. He has no tendency to &C
cumulRte flesh, and although he has a
good depth of chest his waist is unnatur-
ally small. He measures there only 90
inches, and that for a man six feet high is
most unusual. He steps out with a long,
FREQ stride, and when feeling well his style
OF moving impresses the majority favor
ably. MALCOLM w. FoRD.

eral hurrah. Richard Mansfield and Rose
CoghlAn were the theatrical stars on these
occasions.
The Brooklyn theatre will be remember
ed by play goen and others whose memoir
les run back for fourteen years as the scene
of the most frghtful disaster hat ever
happened on this continent In connection
with the stage, 1t was the burning OF the
building on the evening of Dec. s, 1875, and
the loss OF 2o5 lives. The building that was
burned too at the corner OF Washington
and ms streets. The house was OF
brick and nicely decorated. The Conways
opened the theatro with Bulwer's Money"
In October, 1871, and held the management
for four years. After the death OF Mr.. and
Mrs, Conway their daughters, Minnie and
Lillian, continued to manage the theatro
for a few months with poor success. Then
Theodore Moss. OF Wsllack's. took the
theatre for a short time, and was succeeded
by Messr. Shook and Palmer, of the
Union Square theatre, who remained in
possession OF the theatre until Dec. 8, 1875.
TIL curtain had risen that evening on the
last act OF the Two Orphans" when Kate
ClaIton, who was playing the leading part,
heard the actors behind the scenes exclaim
''Ths theatres on nreI''
The flames spread rapidly, and soon the
flames were leaping up the gallery and
spreading in great crimson sheets over the
auditorium. Then began a frightful strug-
gle for life. CONSERVATION spread through
the large audience, and men and women
tramplsd upon each other In their efforts
to escape. Those In tho gallery became
wedged In the narrow stairway leading to
the street, the entrance to which had been
closed by the police In order to shut of the
draught, the officers not knowing that tn,
was checked with ruggli
victims. These were speedily suffocated
The roof fell In upon their heads, and tn,
stairs gave way beneath them. Two of tn,
sectors, Henry /. Murdoch and Claude Bur
roughs, were burned to death while tryins
to save their wardroh@z
On the morrow, when the fury OF the FIR,
had spent itself, piles of bodies were re-
moved from the ruins. Two hundred and
ninety five person. are known TO have per.
lshed IN the flames and OF this number less
than 100 could be identified. Forty thou
sand dollnrs was raised by subscription for
the benefit of those rho had been widowed
and orphaned, and q public funeral took
place o n Saturday, Dec. 9, with the city
authorities and the military In the cortege.
1t was an imposing and solemn pageant,
and upwards Of 5000 persons witnessed It.
Ths nknow were buried In one grave In
Greenwood cemetery and the city erected
an imposing monument over the sepulcher.
The ruins of the theatre lay undisturbed
for two years. The building demolished
on June . was then erected and on Oct. 4.
1879, It was roopsned by Haverly. During
the past eleven years some Of the most
prominent actors in the world have played
pom its stage.

Although the subject of this sketch, by
reason OF his length of service, and because
-alh nnmDlete control of the
Chicago team. Is generally KNOWN q. oid
Man Anson," he is far from being an old
man. He was born thirty-dve years ago,
In MarshAlltown, Iowa His baseball
career began with amateur mines of his
native city In 1859. He remained an ana
teur until the end OF the season of 1870.
Bis first professional engagement was with
the Forest Citys of Rockford, Ill, in 1871.
Almost from the start Arson was a brill.
liant success as al all round player. He
gained such n reputation while with the
Forest Citys that he was engaged In 1872
by the Athletic club, Of Philadelphia, Pa,
which was at that time the champion or
ganiEation, and played with that nine
when Dick" Mcbride was the ideal
pitcher of the baseball world and Ferry"
Malone hardly less celebrated as n catcher.
In 1875 he went TO Europe with the Ath-
letios, and there Hstonished some of the
English cricketers by the way be handled
the willow. In the match with the "An
Ireland" eleven he made the highest indi.
vidual score. In 1870 Arson Joined the
Chicago club.
Az a fielder "Anse' is a little worse than
most Of the first basemen in the league,
according TO the record, but according to
the chances he grabs at he will take a back
ssAt for none of them. President Spaldiug
reposes implicit confidence in the long
headed captain, and between them they
are a pair that has more than once beaten
threes.
On the field Arson, in spite of his kick
ing" and his bulldozing of umpires, which IL
quite as notorious as that OF Ewing, and
oftentimes more to the purpose, Is univsr
sally popular. His value As a player, cap
tain and manager cannot be oyerestimAted,
As may readily be judged by the able way
In which he has, during the past three
years, brought his almost experimental
teams to the front His methods are more
of the driving han the persuasive kind,
and the rigor with which he holds players
up to their duty does not make him over.
popular with them And yet few men
who ever worked for Arson have other
feelings toward him than intense admira-
ton and respect.
In private life Arson is one of the most
Interesting and pleasant companions one
can ask for. he Is n great tAlker. There
are four subjects on which he will argue
with anybody: baseball, politics, billiards
and his trip around tho world. He is n
fine story teller and can spin yarns as long
as he can keep awake. He has been called
the Rider Haggard OF baseball" and so
far as the ability TO tell an interesting mar
rative goes the appelation Is correct.
Anson has been the source of great In
SEPARATION to baseball writers for a de
cade. He loves to talk TO the scribes, and
nothing that is written about him worries
him In the least so long as he is not lied
about. 81 like IT, be told the writer once

That celebrated amateur billiardIst of
st. Louis, Wsyman C. McCreery, received
such an overS helming defeat lately in
New York city by George F. Slosson, at
the II inch balk line, that he thinks better
han ever of the professionals game. The
match was that Slosson should make 800
to McCreery's 1855. When Slosson finished
the game his opponent had ia, and the
latter remarked that Slosson was fully as
much OF a race horse az he Is cracked up to
be. McCreery is considered better than
my other amateur In America at this
style Of game.
