ARsoR DAY.
MARCH IL

In another column will be found
the Governors proclamation ap-
pointing the 4th day of April as
Arbor Day. This is an exception
ally good year for tree planting,
and it is to be hoped that the citi-
zens of Nevada will observe the
occasion more extensively than
ever before.
The benefit to the State of tree
planting has been so often ex-
planned that very little remains t.
be said. But so long as the mil
enium remains so far in the dim
distance, people will have to be
reminded of their most apparent
duties, therefore, the APPEAL once
more would gently remind its
readers that nothing better can be
done for the future OF Nevada
than extensive tree planting. A
few acres of trees planted now
will make better investment fol
young boys and girls twenty years
hence than if the same amount OF
money were placed in savings
bank. Wood and timber is being
used so rapidly by the mines that
they are bound to be more valu-
able each year. The years will go
by and the trees will grow if they
can have chance. Give them
the chance and increase the value
of property in Nevada.

SOME INSIDE HISTORY.
A. C. Pratts Dealings With the Local
National League Baseball Club.

The friends of A. G. Pratt are highly indig-
nant at the alleged statement of Director ]. P.
O'Neil published in the Eastern papers to the
effect that Mr.. Pratt owes the Pittsburg n. L
club $500 for stock. Mr.. Pratt yesterday en-
phatically denied the statement, and expressed
his extreme regret that either Mr.. O'Neh or
any other Official of the club should talk SO un-
generously. Mr.. Pratt would not talk on the
matter, but an intimate friend of his said:
There are many curious things that can be
made known about the Pittsburg National
League Club, and if matters go much further
they will be made public. The club is in dire
difficulties and has injured the reputation of
the National League; in fact don't know why
ranks. Let me tell you a circumstance that
occurred lately between Mr.. Pratt and Messrs.
Nimick and O'Neil not long ago. "Peek-a-boo''
Mack, the ball player, was in this city and
needed S75 from the club to take him home.
Messrs Nimick and O'Neil asked Mr.. Pratt to
advance the money in the name of the Allie
gheny Base Ball Club. This Mr. Pratt refused
to do, but advanced it on the strengh of a due
bill signed by Mr.. Nimick. This bill called for
the payment of SIS on the following Monday
morning at 10 o'clock, but the money was not
forthcoming then. Mr.. Pratt then declared to
Mr.. 0'Neil that he would have nothing what
ever to do with any stock in the club.
Previous to this circumstance Mr.. Nimick
had asked Mr.. Pratt to take one-ffth of the
clubs stock for $1,000 but the price was re-
duced to $500. Mr.. Pratt then stated that he
would have to consult with Mr. Spalding on
the matter, which be did Mr.. Spaliing's
opinion was to the effect that If the officials of
the club had gotten the club into such uupopu-
larity and that if Mr.. Pratt's name would do it
any good he Mr.. Pratt, should have the stock
free. Mr. Spalding pointedly advised that no
money be paid for stock In the club. This was
as far as matters went. l am also informed
that Manager Selee stuck to almost all the re-
ceipts of the recent games between Boston and
Pittsburg clubs because of unpaid guarantees
at Pittsburg and that the club was near being
stranded"
Secretary Scandrett was spoken to on the
matter last evening" and he said that he did not
believe that Mr.. O'Neil had made any such
statement as had been attributed to him. be-
cause there was no truth in any such state
ment. Mr.. Scandrett said that he knew of no
debts that this club owed the Boston club. The
latter got all their guarantees while here MIR.
Scandrett very frankly and fairly says that the
club owes Mr. Pratt the money he claims, and
that Mr. Pratt does not owe the club cent
Thus matters stand between Mr. Pratt and the
most unfortunate baseball club that has ever
been in the National League ranks.

TENNIS AT sEWICKLEY.
More Exciting Contests in the Singles and
Doubles ON the Second Day.

Doubles on the Second Day.
The tennis tournament at Sewickley was con-
tInued yesterday under the most favorable cir
cumstances. The playing consisted of both
singles and doubles and was extremely good.
Some of the contests were excellent and only
the best kind of playing landed the victors
where they desired to be.
Play commenced with the singles, and Messrs.
Ewing and Vail were the first pair to resume
hostilities. Ewing was too much for his oppo-
Dent and won somewhat easily. Mr.. Christy,
the Sewickley champion, then tackled Mr. Ew-
ing, and one of the prettiest and most exciting
matches seen on the courts was the result. The
contest was a long and hot bne. Ewing played
a magnificent game in the first set, placing the
ball accurately down the side line and rallying
steadily. He won the set in grand style. In
the next two SETS however, the vigorous
Christy pulled himself together, winning both
and the match by admirable work.
MIR. s. w. B. Moorhead then had an argu-
ment with Mr.. r. r. Reed, and the latter was
beaten somewhat easily by superior play.
Messrs. Christy and Moorhead will play she
final match to-day and 1t is needless to say that
1t will be worth seeing. as both are good players
and are extremely anxious to win ;Brookes beat
Callow for the consolation prize.
The doubles were commenced, and in the first
round Ewing and Vail defeated Miller and
Osborn. libby and Kelly beat McCleary and
Moorhesd hadn't much trouble in disposing of
Christy and Brookes- The play was lively. but
the superior skill of the winners was too much for
the Sewlckley cracks. Much interest was GEN.
tered in the match and harder contest WAS
expected. f. x Barr and r. P. Nevin. beat
Rhodes and Callow after hard fight.
The attendance was much larger than on the
opening day. and the tennis of a much higher
order. Christy was enthusiastically applauded
for his victory over Ewing. The latter has
proven himself one of the best players in this
section, and is very popular player. Follow
ing are the results of yesterdays playing:
Singles-Ewiug beat Vail, 63; so. Christy
beat Ewing, 26; 81; 81 Moorhead beat Reed,
81; So
Consolation prize-Brookes beat Callow. 81;

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHJ
TRENTON, September 2.-The Potters'
National Convention got down to business
to-day, and there was some excitement
caused by resolution introduced by Dele
gate Henry. of Toronto. o. The resolution
asks that the Potters' National District Sc
cede from the K. of L. Delegate Henry, on
introducing the resolution, stated that his
local assembly had adopted it and that he
was instructed to present it. There were
many advocates of the movement The
Toronto Assembly in the resolution sharply
criticises the X. Of L. tor their management
of the strikes of recent years. The potters'
strike in East Liverpool in 1888 might have
been successful but for the blundering of
the Knights The Toronto Assembly more
over declares that the K. of L. organization
is unpopular in the West and cumbersome
to the potters since the strike in that locality,
as its members are known and black listed
by the manufacturers.
Many of the delegates favored the
adoption of the resolution. They want no
iron worker or tailor to preside over body
of potters. During the discussion Of the
resolution the sentinel announced that John
j. Holland, of the General Executive Board
of the Knights of Labor, was in waiting
This was genuine surprise to the conven-
tion. The resolution was referred to the
Committee on "Good of the Order" and Mr.
Holland admitted and introduced. This
afternoon he addressed the convention from
a Knights of Labor standpoint, and en-
deavored to persuade the potters to kill the
seeding resolution. The resolution is to be
acted upon tomorrow.

FOR THE GOOD OF THE STATE.
A Marriage that will Strengthen Belgium's
Position In Europe.

The betrothal of Prince Baudoin Of
Flanders and Princess Clementine of Bel
gium, which has recently taken place, ex-
cites much gossip in European aristocratic
circles 1t is one OF those matches made ex-
clusively for state reasons. The young
Prince Baudoin is the son Of the Count of
Flanders, only brother of King Leopold.
The Count of Flanders has long desired that
his son should marry the youthful Princess
Clementine, the latest born of the children
of the King, thus consolidating the interests
of the two families.
As the King has no male direct heir.
Prince Baudoin is in the position Of heir
presumptive to the Belgian throne. He was
born at Brussels in 1869, and his fiancee was
born in 1873 The Princeis young gentle
man Of excellant education, and has a de-
cided taste for military matters. He IS
captain In the Belgian infantry, and holds
various honorary positions in the Prussian
army. Everything indicates that be will
have a peaceable accession to the throne, but
whether he will be able to maintain his posi-
ton in presence of the growing "earth-
hunger" Of Germany and France is another
question.
The marriage now projected indicates that
Belgium means to perfect and defend its au-
tonomy as long as it can.

ESPECIAL TELBGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
LOWELL, September 3.-William W.
Davis left Pittsfeld. Me-, in 1S49. to seek
his fortune in the gold fields of California,
and until within month nothing was heard
from him. His wife, Nancy. married again,
and has lived with her second husband
nearly 80 years. She heard that her first
husband had been killed by the Indians.
A month ago, however, their eldest son,
William 8. Davis VINO lives in this city,
received letter from Rockland, CAL. in
forming him that his father was alive, but
was sick and in need of assistance.
This is the first information that he was
alive his family had received. Naturally
the appearance of the first husband has
seriously complicated matters, and the
second marriage of 30 years. standing that
his wife had contracted under the impress
sion she was widow is necessarily void.

500 delegates present. 40 per cent of whom
are coIored. In his opening address Chair
man Degrees begged of the delegates that
they act harmoniously. When they got to

walk the streets of crystal with negroes,
Cinnamon and Turks. As for himself, he
knew no color line on this earth. His
declarations were greeted with much ap-
plause by the colored men.
Nothing was done to-day beyond effectlng

colored following pitted R. B. Hawley, of

desirous of forming an offensive and defensive
alliance with the Association, but that is posi-
ton which the Association delegates refused
to entertain. 1t was then suggested that there
be an interchange of games after the regular
season, and that met with some favor, but
when it came to a vote it was defeated by the
ballot of the Baltimore Club which is said to
be controlled by Charles Byrne, of Brooklyn.

CHICAGO, September 3.-While the
carpenters strike cannot be termed sue
cess from a radical standpoint, it is un-
questionably SO when viewed with con-
servative mind. Already 200 contractors
are paying or have agreed to pay the union
scale and agreements are being signed
rapidly BY men anxious to have their work
90 on without interruption.
Reports received at the headquarters of
the strike committe indicate that 4, 800 car.
penters obeyed the orders of the council
and quit work. About !, 800 men either re-
fused to strike or misunderstood the orders,
believing that, as they were receiving the
union scale of wages, they were not required
to 60 out. About 500 union carpenters are
still unaccounted for, and whether they r.
fused to quit or not could not be learned.
At all events there is only faint ssmbianoe
of strike in progress.
