Manager Hanlon. during conversation last
evening, told an interesting story regarding the
earnestness with which John NJ. Ward worked
for the organization of the PLAYERS League.
"Jobn Ward is remarkable man." said
Hanlon. when we were hustling in Pittsbure
to get stock purchasers for our club he showed
a wonderful tenacity Of sticking to his object
despite all difficulties. One morning about 9
o'clock. after he had taken a light breakfast.
we started out on the hunt for men to buy
stock. We travelled all day and we were return

him at the time. Cooper was locked up

straight story. -~..-n

ScullinG In Australia.

There is every reason to say that the Austral-
ian scuilers and their friends are trying to
make matters as unpleasant and as expensive
for William O'Connor as possible. The way in
which the Canadian is being treated on the
other side of our terrestrial ball is not at all
creditable to that new and enterprising genera
tion of sporting people. O'Connor went to
Australia for the express purpose of rowing
Stansbury or anybody else for the worlds
championship. But before o. Connor arrived
at the Antipodes series OF races was arranged
may have to remain IN Australia almost all the
year before he gets a race. That a fragrant in
justice is being done O'Connor have no doubt.
The proceedings expose the entire business.
We find man like Matterson rowing for
the worlds championships; why, he
couldn't win the championship of Pennsyl-
vania. But even after Mr.. Matterson is lost

Kemp and Matterson have an inning Kemp has

ship, at least that is the very foolish claim. 1
suppose that after Kemp and Mclean do their
act the winner and Stansbury will arrange a

Negotiations have almost been concluded for

Farrell will be very satisfactory to his friends

groups Of visitors Of both sexes to II in the
course OF the day. 1t was as genial day as

To-day the grave was thickiy covered with

A middle-aged woman. deepl " yeiled. stands

here who ecall the circumstances OF Gambet-

her that may not be without foundation.

There is no permanent monument over the

peserters From Civilization.

Tho crew Of the British bark Tewkesbury
were brought TO Portland, Oregon, In Decem'
ber. They had undergone q wretohed expe'
rience OF seven months among the savRges
OF Carolina Island in the Pacific, where they
were cast ashore by shipwreck early last
spring. They say they would doubtless have
been killed by the natives II 1t had not been
for an Englishman named CHARLES IRONS,
who had been left on the island four years
ago by trading vessel. IRONS has become q
savage himself. He has seven wives, and Is
really the ruler OF the little domain In which
he intends to spend the rest Of his life.
1t would be interesting to know how many
Europeans and Americans are scattered
around among little islands In the Pacific
that are seldom visited by vessels, and In
other parts Of the savage world, where, often
voluntarily. they have abandoned nearly all
civilized ways, and have become az barbar-
Gus as the people with whom they live. We
know only that hundreds OF whites are liv-
ing under these conditions. They are found
even In inner Africa. NAoHTIGALL's Ger

having deserted his master. MoNTAGU KERR
found Portuguese in the heart OF the con-
tinent among savages whom KERR was the
first explorer to meet TRIvIER's white
companion recently deserted him on his
trip across the continent. These renegades
are found among the employees Of trading
companies on the west coast, where they
sometimes take native wives and settle
down with the determination never to leave
the country. Others have even tried to ally
themselves with Arctic! nomads. In Nova
Zembla, a few years ago. two members Of
Norwegian exploring party chose to remain
behind In the huts OF some Samoyeds; but
two years later. having wearied Of their
savage and uncomfortable surroundings,
they appeared again in civilized land.
These deserters from civilization are as
rule, anything but ornaments 10 their race.
Often they seem to sink even lower than the
savages with whom they cast their lot. The
natives Of Fiji came cheerfuly under British
rule, but not 80 the fow white renegades,
most of whom stole away to less attractive
established in Fiji Travellers In the Pacific
testify that the most worthless vagabonds
among the islanders are tho descendants of
whites, who long ago set up very
large establishments here and there. Mr..
RoMILLY mentions one OF these old settlers
In Rotumah. He had lived there forty years,
and had become so thoroughly native that
he spoke English with the greatest difficulty.
Scores Of these men are found scattered far
and wide over the Pacific who have no occu-
patton, bitterly oppose any white men
that come to trade at their islands, and arc
content II they have a large household Of
wives and can live without work. One
traveller speaks Of these specimens as
merely English savages Of low type"
There Is abundant evidence that the Anglo
Saxon can transform himself into savage
with small loss Of time and with no violent
change in his mental constitution.

Col. Br,ce and the Candidate.

The exact truth about Col. BRICR's per-
formance in the campaign Of 1888 is stated
with force and brevity by the editor of our
esteemed Democratic contemporary. the
Amsterdam Sentinel Brother LoADwIoK
has heard the remark that Col BRIcE never
did anything in politics except to lead the
party to q great defeat, and he replies:
"Instead Of leading his party to defeat Mr.. Bncn
worked brAvsly avert defeat which was Rendsred
certain BY unwisO and untimey Presidential Mes
sage-this and nothing else. And We nnd isolated
Of foolhArdy fellows who would like to repeat
experiment"
Col. BRIcE did all that any human being
in his place could do to elect GROVER CLEvE-
LAND. He worked like Trojan, or like a
steam engine, just as you please.
If the rainbows led him of In the wrong
direction the fault was not his. 1t was the
fault Of Mr.. CLEvE1ANDs free trade friends,
who insisted that Minnesota and Iowa, II
not the whole Northwest, could be carried
for free trade candidate.
Col. BRIoE did his part. Mr.. CLEVELAND
owes him an immense debt Of gratitude; but,
we fear, 1t Is being paid in very small in
stallments and at very long intervals.
Brother LoADwIcK Is right. 1t was too
heavy job for BRICE.
