About Our Pirates.

The Pirates have been running in the
hardest kind of luck lately. Their pitchers
began to show championship form about ten
days ago. and it was hoped then that the
rcAEi would show its real strength. But the
friends of the club were doomed to further
disappointment. The temporary weakness
ii The infield handicapped the pitchers, and
several games were lost through unfortunate
Inisplays at critical moments by the men at
the far side OF the diamond. 1t is not my
purpose to criticise those players. They
Wrre doing their best 10 help win the games
and played really good hall with the few ex-
ceptions referred to- The errors happened
TO occur in close games, where not point
should have been mis- scd. The three Boston
dct,-ats were attributable more to hard luck
than TO poor ball playing. King and Bald
win pitched great ball in them and should
nave been victors instead of vanQuished.
The pitchers have more confidence In their
support now that Pete Browning no longer
covers left for the team. There WAS un-
doubtedly antipathy to old Pete among the
PittSburg players.-Spo7fiRg Times.

There is always something interesting at
Homewood Park Oh the Sunday before the
grand circuit meeting. Veterans who have
been following the circuit for years are on
hand TO tell what has been and what will be
according TO their opinions, and young men
inst beginning to reach out for fame in the
horse world are all to be met with. Horses
Of one kind or another are on the tracks
almost durinp the entire day. Yesterday
was no exception.
All the horses entered in the races, except
the stables Of ]. H. Goldsmith and Budd Do
bic, had arrived on the track yesterday.
These two stables will be on hand early this
morning. The last TO arrive yesterday was
Papa Hamlcn's string from the Village
Earl-I, and q fine lot of horses they are.
Justina and Belle Hamlin, the famous trot-
ting team, were looking as fine silk and
their veteran owner is confident that they
will do something wonderful this week.
Nellie King, another of the Hamlin entry,
was looking as clipper as possible. She is
in the 2:29 class for tomorrow and she is in
flne condition. Jocko, the Hamlin PAGER,
entered in the 2:l6 pace, also looked well,

Nr. Hamlin's stable is in first class condi-
zion.
Uncle John Turner was also there with
Happy Bee, Siglight and Abbie V, and Ed
Gears, who always has a f1rst-clasS PAGER or
two, was prominent, and so was the historic

will be a great one, as the best horses in the
country sre here to take part in it. J. H.
Goldsmith really has some excellent horses
entered and extremely fast time will be
made by the winners OF the various events.
The track was never in better condition,

self, when somebody started a story that
while in Worcester he had been guilty of
embezzlement, that he had deserted his wife,
and, finally, that he had yielded to the
temptations of women
A committee was appointed to go to
Worcester. 1t went, and soon came back
determined to make short work of the
pastor. The Rev. Mr.. Wilmington, when
confronted with the charges, was overcome,
and promised the committee to resign at
once, provided that they would be lenient
with him. He went to Providence, but his
trouble followed him there, for the Beers
Street Church sent letters there telling all
they knew.
Notwithstanding the work of the Investi-
eating Committee, a large faction of the
church did not want Mr.. Wilmington to go,
and is determined to have him back The
Wilmington faction assert that it is not the
pastors conduct that has caused his perse-
cution and dismissal, but that the real
trouble was sermon he recently preached
which touched some of the members in
tender places.
Unable to reinstate him in the Beers
street pulpit, his followers have secured
hall on Goffe street for him, and at the
prayer meeting on Friday night it was an
nounced that Brother Wilmington was COM
ing back to the city to vindicate himself,
and would preach to-day. The anti-With-
ington men were thunderstruck when they
heard the announcement.
A. D. Sanborn, a prominent politician
and pillar of the church, wrote the follow
ing notice, which has been circulated: "Hav-
ing heard that few disaffected and mis-
guided persons have engaged A. S. With
ington to preach tomorrow, think it is a
duty owe to the public to let them know
who he is He has been expelled from the
Advent Church for grossly immoral conduct.
and ought to be serving his time in the
penitentiary instead Of being allowed to de-
ceive the public under the garb of minis
ter of the gospel A word to the wise is
sufficient"
A big crowd listened to Mr.. Wilmington
to-day and the result of the contest is in
doubt.

NEW YORK, July 12.-The apple woman
who has stand near the south ferry read in
a newspaper to-day that young friend of
hers, Andrew Brennan, had committed
suicide by jumping into the river from the
steamboat John Sylvester on Saturday
night She was lamenting his untimely
fate when she was thrown into a perspira-
tion by vision. She crossed herself and
prayed for the protection of the saints. The
vision held up a copy of newspaper and
said: "Do look like L have been drowBad7
This is pretty thing to put in the paper
about man."
The apple woman became calm. She
recognized the vision as Brennan in the
flesh, and asked him how he got out of the
river. He said that he had fallen over
board while leaning or sitting on the aft
rail of the John Sylvester and that he had
swum to Governors Island. He was sitting
on the railing astern when the boat was
about quarter OF a mile off Governors
Island. He was singing, and as he whooped
up the last words of chorus his feet went
up and he fell backward into the water.
He said to-day: 'It seemed as if l trod
water for an hour to-day out there in the
dark while that steamboat was going away
from me- When L saw that they were
making no effort to save me L struck out for
Governors Island" Private John Briggs,
United States Army, was walking his post
on that side of the island. He notified the
guard that somebody was swimming that
way, and Frank Sanford, of Battery HI,
met the stranger as he struck the island
almost exhausted. Brennan was put into
dry blankets and put to bed in Castle
William.
After breakfast this morning ne took the
first boat for the city. He found his
mother on the doorstep. She had not slept
since the other boys had told her Andrew
was drowned. She nearly tainted when he
approached her. His sisters punched his
ribs until they were satisfied that he was
no ghost, and great were the reioicings

them in increasing the machinery of produc-
ton were eminently wise. But this is not
the case now. The country is so rich that it
has all the capital it needs for its healthy
progress, and the mode and the place of
spending its income has ceased to be i'm
portant.
The proof of this is found in the low rate
of interest at which capital can be borrowed
for judicious enterprises, and in the diff
Guilty of finding safe investments for it. This
being so, cannot see any ground for find
ing fault with Americans who prefer to
travel or live in Europe rather than in this
country, either to buy their clothes and
their personal and household ornaments
there rather than here.
A Trip Abroad Desirable.
As to the attractiveness of European
trip, can testify to it from experience. All
my patriotism does not blind my eyes to
the fact that in Europe natural scenery is as
beautiful as it is in America, while its cities,
public buildings and works of art afford far
more enjoyment than can be procured from
the same sources here.
About clothing / do not know much, ex-
cept that l found mems clothing much
cheaper in London than they are in New
York, and those expert in such matters say
that, while the workmanship may not be so
good, the cut is better. All my lady friends,
however, declare that London and Paris
made gowns are better than any they can
buy at home, and 1 will certify that their
wearers are very charming when arrayed in
them. Since it is the business of women to
make themselves look pretty, and they are
responsible for the result, 1 think they
ought to be allowed to select their own
means of adornment, and, since fathers and
husbands usually have to pay the bills, they
ought not to object to the saving that is
effected by employing the cheaper foreign
dressmakers
Besides this, the indirect advantages to
the country from the familiarity of its
citizens with Europe are a very considera-
BILE compensation for its cost in money. In
ventors and manufacturers pick up the
ideas and suggestions which they can turn
to good account in their business; archi-
tects, decorators and houseowners have
their tastes improved, and even in the
matter of domestic life every head of
household can get hints which will prove
useful.
The transmission of wealth from genera
tion to generation in the same families has
developed in Europe habits which con-
tribute greatly to the pleasure of life,
and our newly enriched people had much
better profit by their experience than waste
time in learning for themselves The
money spent in European travel is, there
fore, not lost, and that which we get in re-
turn for it, if not visible to the eye, makes
itself felt in the increased enjoyment of life
which it produces.
