Brother Mcdowell gives this wri-
ter another specimen of excresence
from the repository of his amalgam,
located just below the secreting gland
which denotes the state of his am
biguity when there is disturbance
in the continuity of his vision of a
fat Office. This time he does not
write over some borrowed signature
from Weakley county, but hits square
from the shoulder, and the offending
of the F-CHRoNICLE was in re-
gard to the uniting of the Patterson
supporters with the wheelers in the
Upton county convention to instruct
for Buchanan. We gave the figures
and statement as reported by very
worthy, disinterested gentleman just
outside of Memphis, and we still
think they were as near correct
as the Toiler ever gives anything.

A new use has been discovered for cleo
trio light globes. The spring birds found
that they make excellent places in which
to build their nests, sheltered as is the
inner space from the winds and storms,
and many lively and lovely courtship
may be seen almost any day by glancing
at the top of the tall poles. The new COM
ers perch upon the edges of the globes and
keep and twitter to one another as they
make their Gonnubial arrangements. Then
they may be seen bringing their twigs and
bits of straw and twine preparatory to be-
ginning housekeeping.
A day or two later and the domicile is
all ready for occupancy. One may see the
nests from below through the glass. The
dear little fellows seem happy and con-
tented, although they live in the full glare
of light by day and by night. A birds
nest one expects to find hidden beneath a
branch in some cool, shady spot and not in
so conspicuous place as this. But if the
birds are happy there, it is to be hoped
that the faithful employees of the electric
light companies will not interfere with
them.-Boston Advertiser.

An abandoned cistern is often danger
GUS thiag, and should be filed as stag
nant water which may remain in it is a
common source of disease. If this cannot
be done at once it is good plan to throw
in proper disinfectants and gradually fill
1t up with sifted coal ashes. While the
cistern is being filled it may be covered,
leaving only an aperture large enough to
pour in ashes. 1t can be planted over with
a rockery, both to conceal what it is and to
draw attention to what might otherwise
be dangerous spot if covered by the
grass. The most beautiful rockery the
writer ever saw was planted over such a
cistern. IN villages where common and
permanent supply of water has been OBJ
tanned from the mountains, such abandon
ed cisterns are not uncommon, and have
been the cause of many accidents. New

The four Memphis Patterson pa
pers berate the Commercial and
Democrat terribly for publishing out
side sentiment from other papers
concerning Uncle Josiah. They de-
nounce it as an outrageous effort to
injure Mr.. Patterson in his own
town, or in other words they don't
want the Memphis people to know
what other folks think of the candi-
date. But they take particular
pains to parade everything a few out
side papers say offensive to Mr..
Clapp, who is out of the race. How
can these machine papers know that
the accusations in Mr.. Clapp's with
drawal card were false? Mr.. Clapp
is gentleman of as much veracity
and honor as Patterson or any of his
heelers.

quite outspoken yesterday regarding rumorS
that have been floating around about the Play
ers' league and its players. ''In the first place.
1 want to tell you that the Players league
will fulfill its obligations to the very letter.
You don't suppose that it would have gone this
far to prepare these beautiful grounds and 9TH
ers throughout the country If it intended to last
but month"; No, we're actually in much
better condition than the National league peo-
ple-and they know it. Aman who Is supposed
to hold q big hand in the affairs Of the
National league has been quoted as
saving he knew that tgo or three clubs
would not go West and thateif Western clubs
came hene they would be stranded. Ny opinion
Is the man at the time was not accountable for
what he said We viii 60 West, and the Western
clubs will ceFne East. Then we viii complete

Fogarty going to the New York IN. Id club
ssThere Is not the slightest particle OF truth in

well. and also know what am talking about

port about his signing with the New York lP. I'd

There were many remarkable features about
the ball game yesterday, which was between the

messed by well-pscked grand stand.
Conover was in the box again, for the third
successive game and made a marvellous eG-
hibition of physical endurance. Only four
hits were made of him, and he
would no doubt have shut the
home team out If he had received as good
support as Wehrle did. The latter
pitched we'll, only four hits being made by the
Statesmen until the ninth inning, when they
jumped onto the sphere in great shape and ended
the tie which had existed from the third
inning. The Fort Worths PLAYED hne

ST, LOUIS, MO-, May 1S.-Ehe city is laughing
at the peculiar predicament in which twelve
prominent citizens were placed yesterday by
their fondness for faro. A hourishing game has
been in progress on South Eighth street for
several weeks, the bankers profits dur
ing the past week aggregating SIC, 500.
Last night the police raided the Institution while
twelve church members were busily engaged.
The officers were stoppedSby an iron door, and
while battering it down with sledge hammer
the proprietor proposed q surrender. The
twelve church members objected, and finally
took vote upon the question of ad-
hitting the officers. we'll known poll
tician named Carmody objected, but
was overruIed by a vote Of II to /.
he then mounted upon chair and delivered an
impassioned address. The second vote resulted
in a tie. The police then resumed their opera
lions on the door, when the players agreed to
-capitulate, provided they would be allowed to
ride to the station in carriages instead of in the
patrol wagon. The proud politician, however,
rather than submit to arrest, got out Of window
and made his escape.

house yesterday afternoon. A club was
organized with the following constitution
and signatures: We, the undersigned, hereby
agree to form campaign club to be known as
the anti-railroad commission club. The OBJ
ject of said organization shall be to advocate
such means OF government as will tend
to promote the advancement of our state and to
oppose with frmness all measures that will
tard its development and the stability OF invest
ment, and especially to oppose the adoption of
the proposed amendment to the conatitution
authorizing a railroad commission, believing
that sucn measure is unwise, unnecessary apd
un-American. We believe that every man
has the right to manage his own
properly in his own way, subject to the general
law of the land, and that an attempt to take
and to invest the control of their property in
strangers to be selected on account Of their hos
tility to railroads will stop the wheels of
ment, unsettle business, destroy values
and tend to bring ruin on our people. (Signed)
