ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
ROCHESTER, N. Y, February 23.-A
series OF revivals has been in ptogress in
this city for month past, principally in
the Asbury Methodist Church. Last Sum-
day night the Rev. Byron Adams, of
Plymouth Congregational Church, preached
a sermon on revivals in which he sharply
criticised them and likened the churches
where they were held to insurance, compan-
les who gave converts religious premium
for the safety of their SOILS. To-
day the Rev. DR.. Jones, of
Asbury Church, replied to M Adams
and preached to lay congregation. He
said Mr.. Adams statements were false, and
that his utterances were disgraceful
for a Christian minister to make. He
then defended the revivals, ami said that
the Rev. Mr.. Adams was narfow-minded
and illiberal.
He said he was a sort of "badk number"
minister preaching to an "old fogy" con-
gregation and hardly deserves the courtesy
of reply. He thought everyone ought
to pray for Mr.. Adams salvation, and con-
cluded in very excited state of mind.
The Rev. Mr.. Adams is noted for bis liberal
views, and has stirred up other clergymen
before. He Is the author of the work en-
titled Evolution in Religion" recently
published, which has caused much COM

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1sPArcHl
NEW YORK, February 2S.-The fact that a
syndicate has offered 81 600 900 for the National
Baseball League, as told in THE DISPATCH
to-day, caused no little surprise among the
baseball men in this city, and it was the gen.
eraI opinion that the Brotherhood is at the
back of the scheme. 1t is also thought that
could the Brotherhood buy out the National
League at the price named that it would be
much cheaper for them than to attempt to
down the League by opposition. The leaders
in the movement could not be seen to-day
owing to its being Sunday
Buck Ewing and Danny Richardson were in
town to-day and visited the new grounds of the
players club in Harlem during the afternoon.
Several of the hackers Of the club accom-
panied Ewing and Richardson 1t was decided
to call the grounds the brotherhood Baseball

gether, and within the next two weeks will
have them at practice. He is much pleased at
the looks of the grounds and is confident of
their being success. Two men will be en-
gagged 10 look after the grounds and see that
they are kept in good order.
A reporter of THE DISPATCH asked Ewing
whether he ever intimated to Mr.. Day that he
would treat with him regarding playing with
the New YoTks this season. mo word has
ever passed between us on the subject" was
the quick reply. 1T is a little curious to me
how ANYBODY could approach me on that sub
1ect after the frequent announcements have
made to the contrary. Still, out of respect to
President Day and Director Gordon, l met
thOse gentlemen by appointment and we had
very pleasant time, assure you. Mr.. Day was
willing 60 give me SIC. 600 year but refused
it, and told him was with the players TO stay"
Danny Richardson told DISPATCH reporter
that there would be no use of any man coming
TO him TO sign again with the New York League
club. He did not tell President Dav or Direc-
tor Appleton that he would sign with the Ma
tional League If they could get Ewing and

ParenfA-A Surprise That Failed to

NORWICH, CONN, February 23.-An ex-
tremely queer hymeneal performance was
that recently of Eddie Maturin, 19-year-
old Putnam lad, and Eddia Plant, IA
year-old maiden of the same ambitious vii
lage. That Edward and Eddia loved each
other had been a wide-open secret in Put
nam since the ten-dsys' fair in the
village in January. But the parents of
both children, after Edward had pro-
posed marriage, would not humor their
matrimonial intentions, and sternly toId
them to go to school and let we'll enough
alone. With characteristic Connecticut in
genuity, however, young Maturin thought
out scheme, whereby he felt sure he could
twist the stream of love about the parental
snag and win his bride with one bold master
stroke. He arranged climax for one night
that he believed would both surprise and
please the old folks at home, and it struck
Miss Eddia, who was apprised of his plan,
that she could afford to agree to any enter
prise on the part of lover who had as big
head as Edward seemed to have. She
agreed.
One night not long ago Eddie, after
supper, told his mother che guessed he'd go
out and spend the evenin','F or "mebbe he
might bring home friend to spend the
night with him. so he would like to have
his younger brother, who had been in the
habit of sleeping with him, take bed in
another chamber. To the proposition his
mother said "all right" and Edward went
away. Morning came, breakfast was nearly
ready and Mrs. Maturin stepped to the
chamber door and screamed up the stair
case to Eddie,
Not many minutes later the youth came
buoyantly down the stairs, lighter football
following his own, threw open the stairway
door, stepped out into the bosom of the
family in the kitchen, then paused, and
the family dumb with amazement, beheld
Miss Eddia Plant. now Mrs. Edward
Maturin, trip forth from behind Edward,
who at once introduced the young lady as
his wife. The surprise was out, and its
effect on the parents the young man saw at
once he had not oyerestimated; but the old
folks didn't seemed to be pleased. At first
they were speechless; then wrath reigned,
and has continued to reign since, Eddia was

is in durance. The parents of both are

CRAB ORCHARD, KY, February 49,
When DR.. E. 7. Stephenson died here last
night, the awful story of another victim to
the opium habit was completed. DR..
Stephenson came here ten years ago, and at
once sprang into popularity, not only ih his
profession, but socially. He became en-
gagged to a pretty young woman of Lin
coin county several years ago, but
about that time his friends began
to notice certain eccentricities of habit. In
due time it began to be whispered
that the young doctor was a slave to the
opium habit, and this was confirmed three
years ago when he was found raving in the
country, crying for his favorite drug.
He was sent to the asylum at Lexington
and few months ago was released. He
returned, but his mind and body were ire
vocably shattered, and death ended his suf-
fering last night The marriage never
took place.

NEW YORK, February 23-The excitement
among billiard players over Saturday nights
assignment Of players for Monday at the tour
ney did not abate to-day. George F. Slosson
repeated with emphasis his assertion that he
would forfeit the afternoon game with Cation
unless the schedule was changed. He views
the assignment to play in the afternoon In the
light of deliberate attempt to belittle him, and
complains that there is unfair discrimination
against him and design to make much of
Schaefer. He says Mr.. A. F. Troescher of the
Brunswick Co., is not party to it. The blame,
he says, lies with Mortimer Humphreys, the
manager Of the tourney.
Billy Cation kicked hard against the schedule
Of games, TOO, but said that he would go ahead
and play as announced if the schedule was ad-
hered to. He declared to play 1000 points at
time would be terrible strain, but that he
consoled himself with the reflection that he
might live through it all. He added that 'inas-
much as the players had agreed to submit to
the management of the tournament by
the Brunswick Company they really had
no sound reason for refusing to carry out the
agreement even if unreasonable things were
demanded of them by the man 'gement. Up
to IL o'clock tonight no news had been re-
ceived at slosson's Of change of the schedule.

WASHINGTON, February 23.-All WASH
ington is laughing at the gullibility of the
social lions of Boston, who fostered the sol
distant noblem4n, Count Zubof. The ex-
posure of the swindle was eagerly read, and
in several literary circles the exclamation
was: "Poor Howell; another of his lions
turns out black Sheep"
Nobody enjoyed reading the story better
than Baron Rosen, the Charge d'Afaires Of
the Russian Legation here. The Baron was
all smiles when the World correspondent
called at the legation this evening.
"The Zubofs Of Russia are certainly very
good people," he said, ''but 1 don't think
any of them have ever been in this country.
1 feel certain that none of them is here now.
About the person who has been masquerad-
ing in Boston cannot say anything, ex-
cept that if member OF the Zubof family
had been in Boston so long we at this lega-
ton would have known of it."

With a Disappointment.

The Young Duke of Orleans Hopes Meet
With n disappointment.
PARIS, February 2S.-The leaking out of
the Governments intention to release the
Duke of Orleans caused the Radicals in
the Chamber of Deputies to propose
that immediate amnesty be granted to
all persons found guilty of strike offenses
during the past decade. The proposal was
carried by the vote of 221 to 1872, and will
be the first subject for discussion tomorrow.
1t is expected that the proposal will cause
great excitement, and that the Government
will oppose the motion.
In the meantime it is probable that the
Duke of Orleans will be removed to the
prison at Blave, Cironde. The young Duke
evidently expected an immediate release,
having settled his restaurant and other bills.
His meals for two weeks cost $500.

method Of collecting statistics. We now
have reports from 13 States. The effect is
to make people familiar with our cause and
| to get them to examine our condition. When
people mix with us and learn the truth
they will come to the conclusion that our
side is the Just one"
"As to arbitration, how is that progress
ing?" inquired the reporter.
"The working people look upon arbitra-
tion as a thing that ought to be voluntary
and not compulsory. The very term arbi-
tration implies that there shall be two par
ties with conflicting interests submitting to
disinterested Judgment. believe that ar
bitration can only be successful when the
working people are thoroughly organized,
with power to inhict injury as well with
susceptibility Of receiving it.
PERFECT EQUALITY NECESSARY.
ITO have fair arbitration the workmen
must stand on perfect equality with their
employers. 1 think that Cancellation is
taking the place Of arbitration. 1 mean
that committees of both the employed and
employers meet for the purpose of talking
matters over and redressing real or imagined
grievances. Some people want to look
upon this as an unWarranted interference
with the business of the employers. But, as
a matter of fact, it is simply representation
bv counsel. Those men who are generally
selected are those who have given the sub
ject special consideration, and are the best
qualified to talk with employers"
"What are the prospects for co-opera-
tion?"
''Very remote. There is no such con-
dition of things here that there was in En-
gland to promote the establishment of Co
operative stores, which at first were an i'm
mense saving to the workingmen. There
has been, therefore, no such extensive at.
tempt to introduce cooperation for con-
sumption here There has also been but
slight effort to organize cooperation for pro-
duction. We are satisfied that the effort of
the trades union movement so far in this
country has been to benefit both employer
and employed. The unions are stronger
and the employers are better served than
ever. There is no danger to anyone from
the organization of labor and benefit to

THE BOYCOTT ALL RIGHT.
"How about bovcotts?''

"How about boycotts?"
ST believe in the boycott as a potent
weapon to be used only with the very great
est care, and never without absolutely sufi-
cient cause"
SIS it not unlawful to boycott7"
ST think not. 1 believe that what it is
perfectly legal for anv one person to do it is
perfectly legal for another person or any
number of persons to do. believe that
if this should be properly tested on its mer-
its the higher courts would not uphold the
lower courts in their construction of the law.
What I mean by a boycott is a refusal to
purchase or to deal with, or to associate with
another. some cases the union has i'm
posed fines. In do not believe the union
should be sustained in such course, but
do believe in the right of citizen to boycott
whomsoever he pleases."
