The Cincinnati Baseball DISPUTE.


CINCINNATI. March 2s.-Judge Bates. of
the common pleas court, today. upon the
application of the Association club, en-
Joined the League from paying to John
son draft for $4,000 given him for his
interest in the Cincinnati franchise.
Among the theories as to the effect Of this
decision Is one that it will enable the As
ISOLATION to obtain an order for receiver
for the Cincinnati club, with the sale Of its
effects, so that they can purchase the
grounds now claimed by the League club.
The League delegates. who have been in
session all afternoon, stated that they have
practically closed an arrangement to place
the Cincinnati club in the hands of Brush.
of indianapolis, and his associates, who
are Cincinnati men.
The League delegates have deposited
money, subject to the order of Treasurer
Young, to be paid johnson upon his COM
pliance with the requirements Of the con-
tract. The restraining order, they say,
will have the effect Of preventing Young
from paying johnson in full at present.
Before leaving for home tonight the League
delegates ratified the contract between
O'Neill and Johnson relating to the pur-
chase Of the Cincinnati club.

Natnre,s Razor strop.


There are now blooming in St. Au-
gustine sixteen plants of the agave Vic
toria regina species, or what is com
monty called the century plant. A
towering column rises out of the center
plant TO the height of sixty feet, but it
is often relegated TO the rubbish heap
as worthless, for the. reason that as a
thing of beauty it has no further
charms for the eye. Yet many thou
sands of the shaving people of the Old
World utilize this shaft of the plant.
They make use of it as a razor strop.
Mr. W. Chambers, auditor of the
East Coast railway line, has had one
in use for many years, and it shows not
the slightest defect from wear and tear.
The strop is made by taking the shaft
Of the agave and cutting it into
lengths of twelve inches; these are split
into four, or as many quarters" as
possible allowing TO each piece suf-
flciency Of the pulp or heart of the
stalk TO present a surface of not less
than one inch, on which to strop a
razor The heart hardens in time and
presents a fine, soft and naturally lu-
bricated surface for stropping razor.

Eugene Field, Of Chicago, whose del
icate humor and verses Of pathOs have
given him a reputation not bounded by
the confines of this country, is about
forty-fve years old In personal ap-
pearance he is long and lank, and the
hair on his head and face is not abun-
dant Few men probably possess wider
extremes Of character, and in nothing
is this shown more plainly than in his
writing and in his treatment of persons.
lie has made many enemies, his tempta-
ton to satirize friends as well as foes
being under little restraint, while the
propensity TO play pranks which marked
him while a schoolboy at Monson,
Mass, is still strong in his nature
The bump of veneration was evi
IDENTIFY left out when he was made, and

Tar and Feathers in 1880.

In England the penalty of tar and
feathers was introduced in 1889, when
Richard |, before setting out for the
Holy Land, ordained, in order to pre-
serve the discipline of his feet, that
whosoever should be convicted of theft
should first have his head shaved; that
boiling pitch should then be poured
upon it, and cushion Of feathers (de
la plume d'oreiller) shaken over it, He
was afterward to be put on shore at the
first place the ship touched at; though,
after a baptism of boiling pitch, the
poor wretch, fancy, would have little
life left in him. In modern times the
practice has found favor with the popu-
lace as a means of readily executing
Justice on an offender whom the law,
perhaps, shows no anxiety to reach
