SALTWATER EXCITED.
Much Money Changes Hands on
a Bateau Race.

Special to the Globe.
SALTWATER, Aug 2-Reilly's bateau,
with Reilly bow and Connors stroke.
were beaten in the two-mile race this
evening with the other boat, Barron
bow and Sutton stroke. The winning
bateau came in about one and half
lengths ahead, according to the opin-
ION of the judges, though the crowd
Judged the distance all the way from
two to five lengths. 1t was close race
right through and would have been still
closer, or possibly the relative positions
at the close zould have been reversed
had there .sen clear water. Reilly
claims, and his statement is borne out
by the patrol judges, that twice he was
obliged to stand in the boat and pull
away drift that clogged the bow. He
did this once going down when opposite
the planning mill, and also coming back
when off the saw mill. His course was
for some distance covered with bark
and debris from the logs. Reilly, how
ever, claims no indulgence on account
of this impeachment, but says he shall
call upon Barron and Sutton for another
race and will put up stake of $500. In
the send-off both got fair start. Reilly
having the Minnesota shore. Connors
seemed to pull little too strong for the
bow and did not keep a straight
course, there seeming to be a
constant tendency to land down
near the mill. Barron turned the
buoy about three lengths ahead, accord
ing to Thomas Organ, of the patrol. and
came up the home stretch very prettily,
leading all the way. Probably I.5OO
people witnessed the contest. and $1,000
changed hands on the result.
The finish was made amidst a
din of steam whistles and shouts of the
crowd. The time was twenty minutes.
The judges were W. G. Masterman, G..
E. Mosier and Jud Nc Cusick, and the
patrol Thomas Organ, Pat McAlpin and
John Kitty. Barron and Sutton earned
their victory nobly and bear it modestly.

Four Leagues.
The Western association fight is grow
ing deeply interesting again, the MIN
neapolis team having secured possession
of the toboggan slide with the evident
intention of landing in fifth place. 1t
is becoming all too obvious that Samuel
Morton has made a big mistake in re-
leasing Hudson and Myers, and
suspending Foster and Hengle. With
this great quartette the Mime
apoiis team was one of the greatest in
the league; without them it is in the
class of the st. Paul aggregation of
stars and cripples. If Mr.. Morton
doesn't do something Immediately to
strengthen his team, the pennant of 1890
will not come to Minnesota. One game
in seven on the trip is not record Of
which to be proud. Milwaukee has won
only two genes of the last seven, it is
true, but the Brewers are doing good,
steady work, and promise to be in at the
death late in September. Kansas
City is crawling up day by day, and Is
really in better trim to take the pennant
than any of It's competitors. Denver, too,
isn't PLAYING a bad game, and has fair
chance to land about third. Sioux City
is Just about holding its own, having
won four of the last seven games ON It's
own grounds. Omaha has won syery
game since it's return home, and early
disastrous work is all that prevents the
Nebraskans from being close to the

EXPENSIVE BUT NICE.
The Good and Bad Points of Harl
Playing Among the Ladies.

New York Sun.
Harp playing is very pict
and artistic accomplishment, which
constantly finds new votaries. A pretty
woman with a golden harp against her
shoulder, her slender and supple wrist
outlined against its strings, is so sug-
gestive of cherubim and Seraphim, of
white wings, so enveloped IN a misty
atmosphere of saintlineSS and general
loveliness that man can't even think
the profane things that he says boldly
about the piano bangor and violin
scraper, even if no two strings are
tuned in the same key.
But harp playing is one OF the most
expensive Iuxuries a woman can in
dulge. The long-suffering spianoforte
is as patient as twO-humped camel,
and bears uncomplainingl the practice
abuse heaped upon it, but harp wears
out easily, the whole mechanism going
to pieces sometimes all at once. like the
time-honored ''one-horse shay" The
little Grecian, the cheapest of the
harps, costs $500; the 'semi-grand," the
most popular variety, is usually $3.50;
and the "grand'' is SOLD as high as
$1,000.
In addition it is very expensive to
keep them in condition, their trim be-
ing affected by every change in the
weather and having to be renewed at
least every second year.

JUST LIKE A JUG HANDLE.
Cowboys Defeat Millers in a One
Sided Game.

Special to the Globe.
KANSAS CITY, Aug. at was long,
tedious and one-sided game to-day, won
by the home team from Minneapolis by
superior playing at every point. The
pitching of Smith was in his usual
form and the visitors could not touch
him. The run that was made came
from two errors by Holland in success
sion, and when it was made the Blues
had SUCH a lead that it did not
scare them. The pitching of Duke
was simply rotten. He had no
command of the ball what
ever, and whenever he did get
it over the plate he was hit so hard that
runs were sure to follow. In addition
to this the field work of Minneapolis
was very ragged. There were 1000
people on the grounds, the largest
crowd ever seen here except on Sun
days and holidays. With the exception
of the two errors of Holland, and the
wild throw of Stearns, the playing of
the home team was first-class and
showed that they were in to win from
start to finish. Even when the lead was
eleven to nothing they did not let down
in their playing and won much applause
from the spectators. There were no
features worth mentioning, as it was
too one-sided to show what the visitors
did Score:

COURTEOUS TREATMENT.
A Shop Cannot Afford to Neglect a
Customer.

customer.
Dry Goods Review.
No concern. however large trade it
may have, can afford to lose its smallest
or most insignificant patron. Courteous
treatment will make a customer feel at
home. A real wish to oblige is the cor
ner stone of success in sale. To be a
good salesman one must have fair
share of common sense, lots of patience
and put in plenty of hard work. There
are some folks so mean that they do not
deserve careful waiting on, but they
carry good money. Let your best hand
wait on this class of customers, give
them every attention possible. and,
after shopping all over creation, they
will finally come back to you to buy.
Take pains to sell the first article
often hangs the whole bill of goods.
The science of selling is to be able to
find out what your customer Is looking
for and then supply the want with the
article or substitute. A substitute is
often more satisfactory to the buyer
than the article asked for. In showing
goods don't be lazy, but open them up
so the color and quality appear to adj
vantage. Never hurry your customers
or show Impotence if they are little
slow. If customer has real or fan
cied grievance against you, settle it to
his or her satisfaction. Do not by over
urging force patton to buy what she
does not want, and, on the other
hand, don't allow your patrons
to slip through your fingers like water.
If possible, become we'll enough &C
Qualnted with the faces and names of
your trade to recognize them when you
meet them outside of your own store.
When customers enter the store don't
keep them waiting, but step up at once
to serve them. Don't let your statesmen
attempt to be funny among themselves;
customers may think they are being
ridiculed. Treat every man, woman
and child with respectful courtesy and
prompt attention. Sell for cash as far
as possible, but make no long credits
under any circumstances.
To summarize. the merchant needs
capital, ability, location, stock, correct
prices, wise advertising and careful at
tention to patrons. Any house which
can fill these conditions is certain, in
the long run, to come out ahead in the
race for success.

Mountain Of Salt.

st. Louis Republican.
A mass of 9O,OOO,OOO tons Of pure,
solid, compact rock salt, located on an
island, 1876 feet high, which rises from a
miserable sea marsh on the route from
Brashear to New Iberia, up the river
Teche in Louisiana, is one of the WON
ders of the world How this island,
which contains over 800 acres of excel
lent land, ever came into existence in
such a locality is matter of conjecture.
Vegetation is prolific, and the scenery
is beautiful and varied. In the center
of this island. which is the only solid
spot in the vast expanse of sea marsh for
miles around, rises Salt Peak, the larg-
est body Of exposed rock salt in the
world. Having never been surveyed,
it's exact extent is. as yet, unknown.
However, Engineer Brown, who has
but recently visited it, says that there
are not less than 90,000,OOO tons of pure
crystal salt in sight. The dazzling
clearness of Salt Peak forms striking
contrast with somber lagoons, bayous
and salt marshes which surround it on
all sides.

form an association Of their own. In
deed, the organization now known as
1.-THE brotherhood" was then In exist
ence In embryo, for Ward, who is q
very clever lawyer and organizer, had
worked at 1t under the promptings OF
his wife, necessarily. He needed but
capital to make it effective, and when
it was forthcoming the Players organi-
zation, 1.-THE brotherhood" sprang into
existence almost at bound. The best
laid plans of mice and men gang aft
aglee, and it is often even SO with the
plans of lovely woman. There is little
doubt that Helen Dauvray expected
that the formation of the brotherhood
popular stroke. When she heard the
play by her husband, Buck Ewing
or of Kelly, 1.-THE $4,000 beauty"
and saw the amount of space and atten-
ti0n given them in the leading papers
OF the land she naturally compared
their popularity with that of members
OF her own profession. and she natur-
ally reasoned that if a star actor could
with his company command the major
portion of the receipts of theater. why
should not the star players of base ball
be something more than merely salaried
men and their managers ''magnates."
But above all things the wife of star
actor was equally high in
The Social Scale
with the wife of his manager. Why
should it be otherwise in base ball?
ut should not" she reasoned, and it
should not, she resolved. The result up
to date has not been exactly what any
OF the parties in question expected.
The brotherhood has certainly crippled
the league, how badly just now no one
can say, but 1t has not wholly supplanJ-
ed it, as it expected it would, and the
future of professional base ball is very
dark indeed. The feeling between the
old and the new magnates is as bitter as
ever, and instead of getting together
and forming new organization in
which all should benefit, each seems
bent, like Kilkenny cats, on annihilat-
ing each other ;and the public, the
golden goose which furnished the
ovarian fruit on which all thrived,
apathetic. Even now we are told that
the supply of admission eggs is not
at all equal to requirements, let alone
expectations of the confictants. and
there are those pessimlstic enough to
declare that abe goose is shriveling up,
and will soon cease laying altogether.
Forbid it. all We hosts of cranks
who used to make the grand
stands and bleaching boards pop
ulous and vocal with your pres
ence, and your shouts and groans.
Meanwhile the demand for base ball uni
forms, bats, balls. and other parapher-
MALTA of the game is daily diminishing.
The big wholesale dealers will deny
this, but inquiry among dozens of the
retail stores convinces me that the sales
of the goods mentioned this year will
be fully Is per cent less than they were
last year. Perhaps if Mrs. Spaldin g had
made more of Mrs. Helen Dauvray- Ward
all this might have been averted. Vino
knows? MACON.

The Players league teams, with the
exception of Buffalo. are the best
watched of any in the country. The
Boston club remains at the front by a
considerable margin, although travel
ing, and it seems pretty sure that the
pennant will go to the Hub. Brooklyn
Is next. but has only margin of two
points over New York, which is
the Boston teams most formidable
rival The Phillies, however, are
within point of New York and are
very hard to shake Off. Comiskey's
all-star Chicagos don't seem to be equal
to the task and are apparently about
ready to anchor in fifth place. Cleve-

strength has been added to the Buffalo

is Willie Morris bette noir, and he
knows it so well that he can only pitch
a half-hearted game against them. Still
st. Paul hammered out twenty-three
hits, enough to win three ordinary
games, and made both McNabb and
Flood feel weak. Everybody took
a whack at the ball, Murphy leading
with four clean hits. In the fourth in
ming, with the score standing 16 to
against them, the Apostles pounded out
thirteen runs and sent eighteen men to
bat, finally ending with two men on
bases. Mains seven bases on balls lost
the game, as every one represented ult-
imately developed into a run. 1t was
anybody's game to the eighth inning,
when Denver came up with five runs
more and cinched the victory. The

Another of those mysterious suicides
of army and navy officers which have
been causing such sensation of late in
the Russian capital took place yesterday
in the public baths on the Puschkin
street, near the Nevsky Prospect. A
well-known captain of the imperial horse
guards, NJ. L., engaged two rooms
there. as if for the purpose of indulging
in Russian bath, but when the attend
ant offered his services. as is usual in
such cases, he refused them and locked
himself in. This aroused suspicion, but
no further notice was taken of the mat
ter. Ten minutes later pistol shot
was heard and several of the employees
rushed up and tried the door. but were
unable to effect an entrance. The police
were then sent for, and after breaking
into the apartment. M. L was found
in pool of blood. No papers were
found on his person. l have not been
able to discover what documents were
found at his lodgings, but the belief is
current that this is another political sui
eide, although it is right to say that this
is only rumor-a very probable one,
no doubt, but of which have no posi-
tive proofs. The suicide will be an

NATIONAL LEAGUE.


A peculiar thing about the National
league contest is the fact that the four
leaders have moved up to first place
upon meeting the Pittsburg team. First
Cincinnati got good hold on the lead
by taking long series from Pittsburg;
then Philadelphia moved up in the
same way, and now Brooklyn takes
its turn. Boston is in hailing dist
lance, and can easily take the
place of honor on meeting the Smoky
City weaklings. The other four teams
are out of the fight. Chicago will just
others considerably below it. From
present indications it seems certain all
the teams in both leagues will go
through the season, though most Of
them will lose money. On the Western
tour the Players league is outdrawing
its arch enemy. The record follows:
