They Had Screwed up the Door.

During the war, when patriotism and SEN

two houses of congress were increased
weekly to make room for wounded soldiers
who had been discharged from the service.
DoOrkeepers. messengers, and watchmen
were so thick around the capital that they
were In each other way. Judge Holman
happened to be in the basement one day,
says the Washington Post, and endeavored
to go through doorway, guarded by a
one-legged veteran.

guardian of the portal, unconcernedly.
Il am member of congress-, said the
judge quietly.
Il don't know as that makes any differ

was naturally excited

by circuitous route the judge, through
comnittee-rooms, reached the other side
of the door. Sure enough there sat another
veteran leisurely reading newspaper.
He was equally frank in announcing that
the door was screwed fast.

FIJI newspaper, and end off with wishing
that there had never been women invent
ed But he dosen't mean that, and his
long suffering sister knows it, and judges
him accordingly.
When the young man is walking with
the girl of his fancy, how he does hate to
have his sister come along and join them
That is very good illustration of the
truth of the old saying, 1.-TWO are company
three are crowd.
He grows hot and cold in moment
He is never at his best when his sister is
present, with her half scornful eye upon
him, and he knows it. And he knows that
if he plays off any of his sentimental fine
airs ON the other girl. that sister of his
will note it down, and the first time he
falls under her condemnation she will twit
him with it before the whole family, and
they will all enjoy hearing her do it.
How free he is to admire the crazy quilt
of some other fellow sister! He calls it
artistic, and beautiful, and wonders how
she ever had the patience to do it; but for
more than year he has been making fun
of his sisters efforts In the same line, and
denouncing the whole thing as fit work for
nobody but lunatici
At home the sound of the piano, as
manipulated by his sisters, nearly drives
him frantic, and he compares it to cat con-
certs, and the wall of a dying pig, and
takes refuge in the kitchen to escape it;
but when some other young mans sister
fingers it, and at the top of her voice pro-
claims that though men may come and
men may go, yet she goes ON forever, he
listens in rapt ecstasy, and turns the leaves
of the music, and adjusts the stool, and
regulates the gas jet, and assures her that
he could listen all night and never. know
fatigue!
And he believes it, and so does she, and
both are happy; and though his sister may
laugh at it all, she will take her turn in
the Fools Paradise when some other girl s
brother comes along, and pours some of
the same sort of nonsense into her ears.

GAVE UP TIE GHOST.


No More Baseball In This city UntIl
Next Year.
For the remainder Of the year the
Washington baseball enthusiast will
have to struggle along without seeing
his lavorite game, except as played by
amateurs. or when some Of the League
or Brotherhood clubs can be induced to
transfer a game OF two here. Sullivan
has rClinQuished all his efforts to keer
a club here, and, although he managed
to get team together, they gave such
a sorry exhibition against The Columbis
Athletic Club on Saturday, that Ted
thought 1t wiser not to have them stack
up against any heavier clubs, and SO
regretfully gave up the ghost
Yesterday he signed TO manage the
Pittsburg League Club and assumed
charge Of that team to-day. He took
with him two of WashingtOn's old
pitchers, Underwood and Phillips, and
Gleason will probably be signed also.
Looking 10 next year Il seems prob.
able that Washington will resume its
position In the League. The wav will
be easily opened for Il, and past ex-
periencc has demonstrated that with
proper management and fairly good
team itwould be successful. Washing.
ton can never be represented in a minor
association and hope to have a success
ful team. There Is not the interest In
a minor league club as there is in one in
a major league. This was proven this
summer.
There will be an attempt made to
try TO induce some of the League teams
TO transfer series Of games here so
that The Capital will not be entirely
without ball playing.
