lost money. The National league and
American association magnates are say
ing great deal. but the more they talk
the wider becomes the breach between
them. President Phelps courteous note
inviting series of games between the
two Boston pennant winners was courte
ously answered by President Young,
league clubs cannot play with clubs
not under the national agreement.
The league thus reiterates its po-
sition that no settlement need be sug-
gested except OH the basis of the ma
tional agreement. This state of things,
however, does not unduly excite the
American association people. They got
rather the worst Of it the past year, but
they evidently propose to stay right in
line and make 1t as merry as possible
for the older organization. They are
already laying plans for work right in
the camp of the enemy. Articles of in
corporation have been filed at Spring
field for club in Chicago, and the news
comes pretty straight that Fred Pfeffer
is to manage the American association
team, and take with him more than
half the men who have made up Capt
Anson's team this year. 1t is stated
now that Columbus will drop out, Chi
cago taking the place, and that there
will be no other changes in the associa-
ton.
But this is very improbable. There
is possibility yet that the American
association will be a.twelve-club affair.
A stupendous move like this might aid
it to eclipse the league altogether. st.
Paul and Minneapolis should bestir
themselves and make bid for a place.
A wealthy man or two in each city,
acting in conjunction with the city rail-
way people, could put in Twin City
team which would represent the cities
in fine shape, and prove a money-win-
| ner, too, provided the grounds hwere
| properly located. Kansas City is al
ready laying pipe to get into the Ameri-
| can association, and Omaha, too, will
soon be making bid. A title hard
work right at this juncture will turn
the organization into twelve club af-
fair with st. Paul and Minneapolis right
in the front file of the procession.

There is talk in base ball circles of a
Minnesota or a Minnesota Wisconsin

WILSON'S DISGRACE.
a Member of the Kansas CITY
Team Deserts His Wife.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 1O.-When
the Kansas City baseball team returned
from its last trip before disbanding
Catcher William Wilson did not accom-
pany it. He left the team at Council
Bluffs while it was waiting for a train
to Kansas City and it now transpires
that he has deserted his pretty young
wife, leaving her sick and with Scarcely
penny. She has been i'll for about a
month and at one time her recovery was
despaired or. She is now at st. Joseph's
hospital. Manager Manning did not
learn of her condition until few DAYS
ago, and then he made provision tor her
immediate wants. A subscription was
taken up among the players and a suf-
icient sum raised to send Mrs. Wilson
to her parents home in Plttsburg when
she is sufficiently recovered. When
last heard from Wilson was in Omaha
on prolonged debauch. The couple
had been married less than three years.
She was In convent when she first met
the stalwart catcher, and left it to marry
him. Her marriage was much against
her parents wishes. Wilson PLAYED
with the Pittsburg club in 1890, and
from there came to Kansas City.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 1O.-The report that
the negotiations with the English
shareholders of the Ohio & Mississippi
Railroad company for the consolidation
of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwest
ern and the Ohio & Mississippi
have been substantially completed
is accepted as correct. 1t is
stated that the arrangement con-
templates putting the Ohio & Missis-
sippl into the very best condition and
equipping it thoroughly from end to
end. Over 100000 will be spent in
improving itand the rate of interest
upon the bonds reduced, the Baltimore
& Ohio being responsible for the re-
duced interest. 1t is believed that the
earnings of the Baltimore & Ohio will
largely increase and its operating ex-
penses correspondingly decrease, and
thus result in advantage to the share
holders of the company.

Remarkable Piece of Work by q

The following comes from England:
Yesterday sporting circles on Tyneside
were greatly excited over the attempt
of j. B. Radcliffe, of Newcastle. to row
a quarter OF mile. swim quarter of
mile, run quarter of a mile, ride hi :
cycle quarter of mile, all in a quar-

Scotswood, near Newcastle, in the pres

Splendid weather favored the perform
ance. The distance was rowed in
minute and 43 seconds, and then Rad
cliffe tumbled from the boat
into the river and swan to
the quarter-mile flag in 5 min
utes and 80 seconds; taking 53seconds to
put on his shoes. Radcliffe started run

game was called. Good playing was
seen on both sides, but at the close of
the eighth inning it grew so dark that
the game could not proceed. The game
came to close with a score of 10 to IS
in favor of the Northern Pacifcs. The
prominent feature of the game was the
battery work of the Northern Pacifcs,
Spears tanning out thirteen, and but
four safe hits being made off him.

pared by Prof. Herbert B. Adams, of the
Johns Hopkins university, entitled, "Uni-

The same Benjamin Harrison who

"The men of the south realize to-day, as
they never did before, that we have in

nation of which they are proud. 1t is
no longer, as formerly, I am a CAROLYN
ian,' Il am a Georgian or I am an Ala
bantam 1t is, instead, I am a citizen

a step in the universal progress which
we as Americans are experiencing, and

the ameliorating influence of the second

The Mexican swell rides on a saddle worth
a fortune. 1t is loaded with silver trim
mings, and hanging over it is an expensive
serape, or Spanish blanket, which adds to
the magnilcence Of the whole. His queer
shaped stirrups are redolent of the old
mines. His bride ia in like manner
adorned with metal in the shape of half a
dozen big silver plates, and to his bit ID at
tached a pair of knotted red-cord reins,
which he holds high up and Loose. He is
dressed in a black velvet jacket fringed and
embroidered with silver; and Il huge and ex-
pensive hat, perched on his head, is tilted
over one ear. His legs are encased in dark
tight-ftting breeches, with silver trimming
down the side seams. but so as, in
summer weather, to unbutton from
the knee down and flap aside. His
spurs are silver, big and heavy and
costly, and fitted to buckle round his high
cut heel. Under his left leg is fastened a
broad. bladed and beautifully curved
sword, with a hilt worthy a prince of the
blood. The seat of this exquisite is the
perfect pattern of a clothes pin. Leaning
against the cantle he stretches his legs
forward and outward. 1t is the very con-
verse of riding close to your horse. In what
it originates it is hard to guess, unless bra
vado. The cowbow, with an equally short
seat and long stirrups, keeps his feet where
they belong, and if his leg is out of per-
~pendlcular, it will be 80 in the rear.-Har-

In his address at the university of
Michigan last Wednesday ex-Secretary
Bayard struck out pretty nearly the
line of thought followed by ex-President
Cleveland at Providence on Saturday
the evils of legislation for the benefit of
special classes and individuals. He
said:
/ wish to draw your attention to the re-
suits of the perversion of the most essential
and far-reaching of public power, that of
ta1ation-by the insertion of personal in
iuences and for personal erds-of provis-
IONS in our tariff laws, which, being expe-
ditiously adopted under the operation of
the previous question, are upon closer ex-
animation discovered to contain conse-
quences-never discussed-not understood
by the legislature which enacted, nor by the
d~efenseless public which in the end was to
suffer by them. On the dockets of the
United States courts, cases arising out of
disputed interpretations of the tariff are to
be found and are numbered by the thou
sands. When the phraseology of all the
various provisions of the tariff have been
collated for joint and several constructions
under the critical analysis of learned
judges and we'll instructed counsel, aided
by experts and specialists, some excessive
rate of duty is at least settled. A meaning
is found which was placed in the public law
by the cunning hand of private interest,
and hidden by a complication of language
and the detachment of controlling words
placed in some unsupported and remote re-
cess of the statute.
In no other way can duties absolutely
prohibitory be accounted for. BY such
means duties are not laid for the common
defense and general welfare, but for pri-
eign nations" is not regulated, but prac.
tically prohibited by private dictation, and
the interest of the fundamental law is
evaded or overthrown. Sometimes the de.
sired profit is attained by . reserve of these
methods, and extensive entries are made
by the initiated of certain merchandise
under high rate Of duty, which are paid
but under protest. Gases are permitted tt

AT THE BAR.

1t was a singing accusation that Q
member of the United States supreme
court hurled at the American bar on the
occasion Of the opening of a new court
of appeal in Philadelphia the other day,
In his address Justice Bradley freely
declared his firm conviction that the
existence of lynch law within this com
monwealth was due, and solely due, to
the failure of the courts to administer
Justice. The fault, he was positive, did
not rest heavily on tho shoulders Of the
occupants Of the bench. But the
learned justice had no words strong
enough to characterize the pernicious
practice that prevails among members
Of the bar of taking appeals in all man
ner of cases, frequently on the ground of
most frivolous t~echnicaiities.
There was ample reason, he main
tanned, for condemnation Of the bar for
insisting upon minute points and refus-
ing to accept the decision Of the courts
of first instance and seeking an APP
peal to the court of last resort in
every case on every trivial question.
A comparison of the practice in this
country, he went on to say, with that OF
England was far from complimentary to
tho American legal fraternity. The
barristers of the old country would feel
a blush of shame to carry cases before
the courts of appeal that are constantly
pushed and brought before similar
courts in our own country. Ac-
cording to the justices views
there exists in the English bar
a love Of justice, created either by
their education or their surroundings,
that makes them more regardful Of the
honor OF the court and Of themselves.
In justice to itself, he insisted, the bar
should seek to reform in this regard.
Coming, as it does, from such a high
quarter, the reproof deserves to be re-
ceived with all due respect. 1t is GER
tainly sweeping enough in its denuncia-
tions, almost unnecessarily SO, as it
seems to the outside critic. But there
is no denying the fact that the speaker
has had ample opportunity Of knowing
whereof he speaks, and further it is not
TO be expected that a nan in his posi-
ton would rashly commit himself to a
premature or hasty opinion. If we arc
to accept his experiences, the practice
he complains of is provocative of seri-
GUS delay and frequent miscarriage in
the administration Of justice. Grant
that, and he is undoubtedly in the right
in maintaining that reformation is abso-
lutely necessary. The people of this
country will lend him their serious as
s~istance to do away with an evil that
falls back upon their own heads. 1t was
certainly significant that or the same
occasion one Of our most distinguished
lawyers was constrained to admit that
the legal profession to-day is below the
standard Of thirty years ago. He even
went further, when he followed the jus
tees lead in yielding to England supe-
riority of practice and administration.
What is the bar going to do about it?
