ANOTHER CLUB OUT
The Athletics Will Not be Able
 to Finish the Season.
NO MONEY FOR THE PLAYERS.
Much Indignation Expressed by the Men
 Who Have Accepted Releases.

A Day of Rain Prevents Several of the Clubs from Playing-The Brooklyn League Team Defeats BOstOn-Anson's Pets Still Winning-Only One Game Played by Brotherhood Clubs.
 PHnADELPHIA, Sept. 17.-The stock. holders of the Athletic Baseball Club held an adjourned meeting last night, when it was announced that because of the inability of the financial committee appointed yesterday to raise the neces- sary funds, the club will not be able to continue the season.
 The players, who had assembled in expectation of receiving the money due them, were notified that no money had been raised, and that those desir- ing their releases could have them. Much indignation was expressed by the men, and nearly all of them are said to have accepted releases. Sums ranging from $500 t o $500 are due them. Robinson, Shafer and Seward have suits pending for their salaries, and on the issue of these will depend the action of the other players.
 The players wore asked to make a tour of the West and take chances ol getting their money, but refused. The organization of a team to play out tn ( schedule Is remote possibility.

MIR. BLAINE'S LETTER
Be Writes Again on the Sub- ject of Reciprocity.
VALUABLE TO WEST AS EAST.
He Refers to Men Who Look the Stable
 After the Horse is Gone.

Several Bills Passed by the Senate-The
 Anti-LOttery Measure Now Goes to the
 President Action on the Kennedy
 Speech h-COngressman Quinn Says Gen.
 Grants Remains Will Not be Removed. BosroN, Sept. 17.-Mr. Blaine has written a long letter to Colonel clapP, of the Journal, excusing himself from attending the annual banquet of the Boot and Shoe Club.
 He declares that the reciprocity matter will be as valuable to the West as to the East. He insists that we can secure the trade for breadstuffs for 4O. .OOO. 900 in Central and South Amer ica and the West Jnuies if we deal wisely with them in the matter of admitting their sugars under special reciprocity regulations.
 "rhe worst proposition of all," he says, :" is put forth by those who say. I Let us put sugar on the free list now and next year we will take up the sub feet of reciprocity.' If 1 understand their logic, it is to make sugar free this year without condition, and next year to ask Spain if she will not kindly consent to grant us reciprocal trade Holding the complete vantage grounds themselves, the pr opposed policy trans fers the vantage ground to Spain. | 'Instead of granting a favor to Spain to-day, we are to ask her for 6 favor tomorrow. Those who take this ground belong to that class of careful 1 guardians of property who prepare A very strong lock for the stable after the horse is gone."

Then he can apply for loan, the cost of which will be SIS per month, including monthly dues) for 97 months, S126l, ,0O. Total cost, $12S6,00, amount borrowed, $1000,00. Actual cost of loans for 97 months, with the advantage of pay ing off the loan in small monthly install ments, S2S5,0O.
 The shares will likely mature within 100 months, which would consequently decrease the cost of the loan.
 The borrower pays the cost of his loan in monthly installments. On a loan of $1 ,OOO he pays $1O per month on the principal, and s per month for the use of the loan. But it should be considered that during the 97 months the borrower has saved the payment of rent, which would surely have amounted to greater sum than the actual cost of the loan.

 Could be used for a nobler end, Buying Lounges, Ranges or Chamber Suits, Our lives we soon would mend When Grant first thought to arbitrate, Twas thought that came from above; He knew that men from every state Could learn to Reason and Love. While this is good-yes, great and grand We cant forget our mission To furnish the public as they command And knock out competition.
