Deacon Moses Brown WAS man of great
patience but also Of so great frnuess that
some persons called him obstinate Thongb
never harsh in his treatment Of his oxen
and horses he always contrived to handle
them 50 that they were the best trained
animals in the neighborhood At last.
however, the good deacon bought an an

but about nine O'Clock in the morning he
suddenly stopped and obstinately refused
TO bulge. The deacon coaxed him, tried
to lead him by the bride, even whipped
him little, but all without avail There
the beast stood, and there he evidently
meant to stand just as long as he pleased

work with the oxen in an adjoining field,

Pretty soon the deacon hung the reins

asked Bill, apparently Of the nigh" OK.
Shouldn't wonder if he was goin to try

And so 1t proved, for in a moment the
deacon reappeared bearing two pieces Of
board and an old kitchen chair
Looks as though he meant to Sc down

The deacon, without saying a word,
placed the boards side by side on the har-
row, set the chair firmly on the boards,
took the reins in his hands, and seated him
self in the chair. Then he shook the reins
encouragingly, and called cheerily to the
horse
Come, go long, ye've got to harrer !"
But the horse did not harrow he simply
put his ears back and looked perfectly i'm
movable.
So all through the forenoon the deacon
sat perched on his chair, showing no anger
nor even lmpatience. Sometimes he sang
to himself a stanza or two of How firm

thing equally applicable to the case in hand
Occasionally he shook the reins and called,

that when the peaceful methods of fraud

But if the law is equal and the animosities

MILLERS NOT IN 1T.
Now 1t Is the Indians Who Drag
Them in the Dust.

In regard to the game between Mn
neapolis and Sioux City yesterday,
probably the least said the better. 1t is
sufficient that the game was lost, and
that in such wild and unsatisfactory
manner that the very few people who
attended were so badly disguised that
they amused themselves by halloing
for the Indians with all their might.
The visitors started off with five runs,
and it was as much as Minneapolis
could do to even tie that. Killen
was hit Tor two successive
home runs in one inning, and
then Mitchell was substituted. He
was also pounded for a home run, but
managed to hold the runs down for the
balance of the game. The Millers
played with little spirit, and lost the
game chiefly because they did not care
TO win it. Yesterdays game brought
out the fact that the interest in base
ball has died out somewhat since the
loss of the Kansas City games, and
large crowds do not attend. Bell pitched
for the visitors. and did good work, at
least the locals could not find his deliv-
cry, while the Indians batted like
fiends. The two games Monday and
Tuesday finish the season. The

ALMOST CLOSED.
The Season About Ended in All
the Leagues.

The base ballists will quit playing and
go to getting ready to play the game of
their lives in 1891 in few days. The
championships of 1890 are all settled.
That in the Western association goes to
Kansas City; that in the Players league
to Boston; that in the National league
association to Louisville. The con-
test in the Western association has been
the prettiest in the history OF the Or
ganization. Denver, Sioux City, Des
MOines (now Lincoln), Milwaukee, Min
neapoliS and Kansas City have all been
in the lead at some time in the season,
and Milwaukee and Kansas City have
both been in the rear. The career of
the Cowboy team has been somewhat
remarkable. On its first Northern trip
it was pushed into last place by st. Paul,
and remained there until Manager
Hackett was deposed and Jimmie Man
ming placed in charged of the team.
Then the team moved gradually up
ward. displacing first one team
and then another, and finally land
has lowered about the top all the season
and has made a barrel of money by be-
ing neck and neck with first one team
and then another on their trips to Min
neapolis. On May 80 Minneapolis was
tied with Sioux City for the lead when
the latter reached the Flour City, and
on July Milwaukee played there when
the two teams were only game or two
apart. And so Sam Morton's luck ran
the season through. His one mistake
was in the release Of Foster and Hen
gle, for with them he would easily have
won the pennant.
In the Players league. Boston has
practically led all the season, and, al
though the next two or three teams have
never been far in the rear, the Hubites
ly strong to take the flag. Brooklyn,
New York, Chicago and Philadelphia
have all made strong fight, and close
the year pretty we'll in a bunch. Buffalo
is the only really weak team in the Or
ganiZation.
Brooklyn, with practically the same
team which won last ysar'S American
association pennant, bObs up this time
with the National flag. Cincinnati
looked like sure winner for some time,
then Philadelphia took turn at pace
making, but Brooklyn was too much for
both OF them. During the past few
weeks Chicago has been putting up a
star game, but started too late to catch
the leader. The New York team, which
fell down so badly early in the season,
has won almost every game Oh its West
ern trip, and is now right on the 500
mark. Pittsburg has made the remark
able record of losing over 100 of 40
games.
No town ever learned better than
Louisville the truth of the saying
nothing succeeds like Success" In
1889 the club had crowds of from 30 to
$50 people, and lost $4,000. This year
the crowds have run FROM 900 to 10000,
and the undivided profits amount to
$4,000. Only last Sunday, with the
picked-np Athletic team as competitors,
the attendance ran up to S,125. which
proves that home crowds love a winner.
whatever the prowess of the opposing
team may be.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 27.-The
question that is agitating the base ball
world now, is where will Kansas City
play next season. 1t Is given out as
certainty by gentleman who is sup
posed to be on the inside, that there
will be strong effort made to place
the club in the National league. 1t
is the intention to have Kansas City
take the place of Cincinnati in the event
of that city jumping to the Brotherhood.
Ii Cincinnati stays in then, one of the
weaker cities will be thrown out and
Kansas City will be given place. This
may mean that either Pittsburg or
Cleveland will have to go. Kansas
City during this season has been the
best ball town in the country, and
has had larger attendance than
The three games just played
with the Minneapolis team were wit
messed by $4,000 people, and the aver
age all through the season has been
greater than even Boston and New
York. This fact is taken as evidence
that winning team will pay in any
league or association. 1t has been given
out that place would be made in the
American association for the Western
association team that took the pennant,
but as MIR. Speas and the American asso-
citation are not Oh speaking terms
this will not apply to Kansas City.
What lends color to the statement that
arrangements are being made for the
ad mission of Kansas City to the league
is the fact that on Mir. Byrnes' last visit
to Chicago President Specs went
there and held a long consultation
with Spalding, Arson and Byrne
and it is stated that at that time it was
decided to make place for Kansas
City. Mr.. Speas neither affirms nor de-
MES this, but admits that he had con-
suItaton as stated. There has always
been strong friendship between Speas,
Spalding and Byrnes, and it is we'll known
that Mr.. Byrnes worked for Kansas
City's interests when the split came to
the American association. The Kansas
City club has made a pot of money this
season and is in good shape to enter into
competition for the best players of the
country. The signing of Elmer Smith
yesterday for next season shows that
they are letting no good man get away.

British Sports Are Disguised.

LONDON, Sept. 27.-The sporting fra
ternfty, who had been in an agony of
anticipation for months over the Nc
Auliffe-Slavin meeting, are now in
highly Disguised frame of mind over
the brevity and tameness of the mill,
so much to see and for which they paid
such eXtravagant sums. 1t is claimed
that McAuliffe's poor showing was due
to his having been weakened by too
fine training in the effort to reduce his
weight. The police report the affair as
orderly, and it is not believed that the
club or the principals will be put to any
trouble by the legal authorities.

pers make only the curtest criticisms on
the Slavin-McAuliffe fight. The St.

way the worse for the fight unless it Is
those who paid large sums to share in
mild entertainment. The Pail Mall Ga
zette says: "The spectators could not
congratulate themselves on having their
moneys worth of punching. The re-
suit is a strange commentary upon the
weeks of preparation the vanquished
boxer had undergone" Slavin will re-
tire from the ring, Detectives who were
present at the fight have reported to the
authorities that perfect order was OBJ
served and that the rules of boxing
were adhered to. 1t is not probable
that the police will take any further ac-
