DEATH OF H. wEsrENBERenR, sR.
A Good Man and Useful Citizen strick-
en- by the Grim Destroyer.

II is with deep regret that the
LEAF-CHRoNICLE announces the
death Of Mr.. Henry Westenberg r,
ST., which took place this morning
at 20 minutes past l0o'cock, Of pneu.
monia, after three days illness. Mr.,
Westenberger seemed to understand
that the end had come. He never
complained of the least suffering
during his illness, saying to the last /:
at is all we'll with me-"
Mr.. Westenberger was born in 1880,
He came to this country at the age of
nineteen, and to GAINESVILLE in 1856,
where he has since resided, rearing a
family of ten children, six by his
first marriage and four by his last, al
of whom survive him. Mr.. Weston
berger was a shoemaker by trade,
and a good one at that, He had a
large shoe store here during the war,
but later closed it out and retired to
his farm in the southern suburbs,
where he raised fine fruits, vegeta-
tiles, ETC., and was surrounded by
many comforts, while continuing
his shoemaking business in The city.
He was good citizen, pure Chris
tian, who carried his religion into
every day life. He was the gentle
man referred to by the LEAF. CHRON-
ICLE lately who had not in twenty
years retired without family prayer
or left home without giving his wife
parting kiss AS he lived he died,
not afraid to meet his God " hat
noble example he has left Of a
blameless life and humble, Christian
walk and peaceful death!
The deceased was a member of the
Methodist church, also a member Of
the Masonic fraternity and the
knights Of Honor. The funeral
will be ut the house tomorrow after
noon at 2 O'clock, with service by
Rev. Mr.. DodsOn.

THE BIRTHDAY OF A STATE.
Vermont to Celebrate Its Hundredth Ami
versary on Wednesday.

Vermont to Celebrate Its Hundredth Anni-
versary on Wednesday.
New York Sun.l
On Wednesday the Tooth birthday Of a
State will be celebrated for the first time in
this country, the little Commonwealth oi
Vermont having been admitted to the Union
of the original 13 on March 4, 1891. The
day is worthy of more attention than it will
probably receive, for it has double his
torIcal importance. The admission of
Vermont as a State was the last
striking event in the formative period of
the Government, following close upon the
adoption OF the Constitution and the
meeting of the first Congress, and being inti-
mately related to the jealousies developed in
the Revolutionary struggle. 1t was at the
same time the first striking event in the
period OF amazingly rapid development
which followed the closer union of the col
on:ss. The admi ission OF Vermont, and OF Ken
lucky on June 1, 1892, gave general notice
to an incredulous world that the new coun-
try was growing fast.
Comparing the gigantic New York Of to-
dav with its diminutiye Eastern neighbor,
1t seems difficult to realize that Vermont's
independence was so long and bitterly OPP
posed by the early Governors and people OF
the former. The famous squabble over the
boundary line between New York and New
Hampshire, which lasted 40 years and near
ly led to bloody warfare, was the only thing
which kept Vermont out of the original Co.
lo1ial Union.

A TALK WITH THURMAN.

White Wings Passes Through-Hopes OF
Getting Browning and OConnor.
A W. Thurman ex-President of the Ameri.
can Association, passed through the city last
eveningon his way to the League meeting at
New'York. He was met at the depot by Presi-
dent O'Neill and Manager Hanlon. The de-
posed President was in a very happy mood, and
talked very frankly about the baseball situa-
ton. When asked what he thought of the AS
sociation action he said:
"Why. Just as sure as we live, il is going to
the dogs; in fact, it is there now. They are a
funny lot of people who have taken the Asso-
citation in charge. 1t is amusing to hear them
talk about contract jumping, Why. weeks be-
fore they openly declared their break, they
were tampering with League players, and Won
der Abe really did sign klingman. They tried
in every way to get Pfeffer to join them, and
they had quite a big and secret scheme on hand
unknown 10 me. But they have made bungle
of it and now they are whining.
by the way" continued Mr.. Thurman, 'let
me tell you that if Pittsburg gets Baldwin and
O'Connor as a battery there is not a battery on
earth that will beat them. l don't hesitate TO
say that OConnor Is the most useful catcher IN
the profession. Why, he almost plays half OF
the infield. He is, indeed, great player and a
rattling hitter"
President o'Neill hadn't much to say. He
was of OpinIon that some kind OF request viii
be made by the Association tn the League mag
mates at New York. But" said Mr.. O'Neill.
there can be no compromise that will take
from us players that we have signed. We want
Gastright, also. He is too fast for the Assoca-
tim. The Association clubs cannot pay him
the salary he is worth. and he ought to be
handed over to us. Seer
Manager Hanlon will remain in the city until
this or tomorrow evening. There are yet strong
hopes of signing both Browning and O'Connor.
Judging from reliable informal ION received
yesterday. both players are inclined to come to
PIttsburg at a reasonable price. 1t will there
fore, be no surprise if both OF them are signed
to-day.

The African Diamond King.

The new premier of Cape Colony. Cecil
Rhodes, is attracting marked attention in
England, where he Is at present on busi-
ness visit. His career in South Africa,
which has been one of the most romantic
and adventurous, has placed him in the
foremost rank of Anglo-Alrican notabilIty.
Within few years he has achieved the rep
utation OF statesman; the title of ''The
Diamond King" and is generally accepted
as the leader or men in Africa. He is one
of those who believe in settling the Mashon-
aland troubles with the natives in peace
full manner, and if the latter are not DIS
posed that way to use force, and he talks
like man who would be abundantly able
to bring about an. arrangement either way.
In appearance he is much older looking thar
he really is. aud physically seems the en-
bodlment OF quiet force. He is not prone to
conversation, but when so engaged is always
interesting, from the fact that he never talks
but on subjects with which he is thoroughly
familiar.

The State of Siege Still Being Maintained at
Buenos Ayres.
rBY pUNLAP's CABLE coMPANY.l
LONDON, March 2.-The Times has Just
received the following cablegram from
Buenos Ayres, which it will print to-mor-
row: "The state of siege continues in force,
but e1cites but little interest. The absorb
ing topic in the public mind is the prepara-
tion for the reception or General Mitre. who
is expected to arrive about the 10th. The
President and Ministers, on being inter-
viewed, say that the proclamation OF the
state OF siege was necessary check on the
conspirators and Anarchists. There are
1000 troops in Garrison here, besides large
police force, but there is no immediate pros
pect of any disturbance. Indeed, the settle
ment of all existing difficulties is hoped
for through the intervention of General
Mitre.
Meantime business is at standstill, both
town and country discounts being curtaied.
There is a general distrust OF all news from
Chile, there being no through communca-
tion. 1t is reported, however, that Iquique
is still in the possession of the revolution
ary party, but the information regarding
the result of the late severe fighting is con-

A. G. Spalding Talks About the Situation in
Very Sanguine Style.
New YORK, March 2-The vanguard of the
army of baseball magnates that is 20 manouvre
in this city this week arrived in town last night
in the person of President A. G. Spalding of
the Chicago League Club. He was asked what
he thought of the new baseball war;" and an
swered in this style:
War? What war? Why, there is no baseball
war. The National League will merely allow
the Association to run its own race At the
schedule meeting of the League on Wedne sday
our schedule will be adopted and The Associa-
ton can conflict or not, just as it sees fit. The
League schedule will be practically the same as
in former seasons. In Boston the League Club
will play on Decoration Day and on the l7th of
June-the two holidays that have always been
sacred to the Boston TrIumvirs. The Associa-
tiou can take these dates, too, if it chooses to
do so, but we will not be responsible tor the re-
suit.
The Leagues policy is to avert trouble if
possible aud TO smooth over the present diff
Guilty if practicable. We have all the PLAYERS
we want and will be well equipped when the
season opens. The Association men can have
what PLAYERS they can get but it is apparent
that all the big League stars, as well as the for
mer Association players OF wide reputation are
anxious to play with the National League and
under the protection of the national agree
ment. You will find very few men OF sense
juinlng an organization that is already
dOon1ed.H -
