Markoe was very often intoxicated In spite
OF his mistress disapproval On one occa-
sion he had been given some champagne by
the lady's nephew, and was very hilarious,
when she said to him: You are. drunk.
SIR, and had better go away. | don't want

Upon this he SUNK away and hid himself,

IL OH. In short while gentleman coming
TO call on Mrs. T. was ushered into the
room in which Markoe lay concealed.
presently the visitor heard severe, DIS
pleased voice saying: YOU'RE drunk, sir,
and had better go away. don't want to
see you till you're over it."
He caught up his hat and was in the act
OF rushing from the room when Mrs. T.
entered II, so he only uade her hasty bow
anu lett the house. The lady had heard her
words TO the parrot repeated, and under
standing that the caller had mistaken the
voice for hers was overwhelmed with dis
may at what the gentleman must have
thought Of her disc0urteous and outrageous
assertion. or rather accusation. She looked
Tor and soon discovered Markoe under the
folds of pOrtiere which hung across the
door by which she had entered the room.
she was about then TO write note TO her
friend apOlOgIZing for the occurrence and
explaining it to him, though she feared he
would scarcely credit the story, when. to her

from the gentleman she was writing to, in
which he stated that he acknowledged with
humility that he had perhaps taken too
much wine with his dinner, but had hoped in
calling on her that she would not have de-
tected it. AS she had done so, however, he
offered his most abject apologies and prayed
for forgiveness.
Mrs. t. declares she never told the story,
but it leaked out in some unaccountable
way, being really too good to be lost, and iC
is considered rather dangerous to mention
parrots to the gentleman in question.

Carroll, he says, is securing new men Tor
him In the East. On their arrival the oak
lands will probably cast aside their mourn
ing suits for something that will be In keep
ing with the new life which will then be III
fused into the aggregation.
OF course ii is improbable that Colonel
Robinson could part with Tip" but II the
Captain continues to play ball as ne ala In
San Jose last week it is not at all improba-
BILE that the Oaklands will continue to be
the tail TO the league kite.
One Of tho San Jose team was not in very
good form last week, and Manager Finn, on
being ''joshed" as to the club being dubbed
Firms cripples," quickly replied: Don't
be alarmed. 1t will not take more than
about two games to put an end to that Grip
pie business. Good players can be found,
and intend to have them"
Phillips, the Oakland short-stop, severed
his connection with the C0l0nels after the
game on Saturday at San Jose. He goes
to Spokan to join the club there.
Cobb has been pitching good ball for the
Friscos, and has been the mainstay of the
club this season.
Toby Lyons the pitcher released by
Harris, is pitching and playing the outfield
for the Salem Club of the New England
League.
Kid Speer is duplicating his work of last
San JOses to date.
Hoover, the catcher released by Saera-
mentO, was considered one of the best in the
country, but he was of no service to Sacra-
mento, as his arm was sore from the day he
arrived here.
The Oakland team of the present is not
the same team as OF yOre. Repeated defeats
have made them lose all the dash and bril-
liancy which used to characterize their play.
The San Jose team has been the surprise
of the season. Baseball experts unan-
mouSly conceded to them the honor of tail
enders, but they are fooihg them all.
Pete SOmers, the new twirler Of the
FriScOS, Is showing up magnifcently, and is
to all appearances very quick and lively
man on his feet
Jim Fogarty, who died last week, was a
member of the old Haveriys under Harris
management when he accepted the offer of
the Philadelphia. He played left field,
Levy center and Haney right.
The Sacramento team Is good one, but
it will be impossible for them to win the
pennant with their present chickering's and
discussions.
SWEET does not appear to exhibit the same
amount Of activity behind tue bat as he did
in 1889.
The Rochester team, which contains the
California quartet, Power, Bowman, Reitz
and Pete Sweeney, are tail-endeTS in the In
teTnatiOnal Association.
The Colonel is a much worried man over
the defeats OF the Oakland team. but he is
straining every nerve to secure new out
fit.
Finn is living on easy street with his
team and is giving his fellow-managers the
laugh every time he passes them.

such an anniversary in this country, an
allusion TO Abraham Lincoln as the savior
of his country being greeted with loud ap-
plause. The reverend gentleman said that
while there were heroes in graz as well as
In blue. the patriots all wore the same u:i-
form. Those on the one side were distin-
guished by love of country, their opponents
by love of locality.
The Federal soldiers, he continued, were
not only patriots and heroes, but we're also
the saviors of the Union. They had one
platform, with one plank-to perpetuate the
institutions which they had received from
their forefathers.
Many 81 these heroes Sleep" said DR..
Williams, "and many are every year pass
ing away to that beautiful land where there
Is no change or strife-that immortal cOun-
try where nothing can bring pain or sorrow.
You of the g. A. II. who survive. we honor
your lives, admire your patriotism and
thank you for your willing sacrifice, so
readily rendered for God, home and country.
GOD bless the ladies of the 6. A. r.. who
braved tempest of powder and storm of
shell on many field Of battle, labored and
prayed for their fathers, brothers and huS-
bands. Who knows how much Of victory

LHnDy Work in The Field Gave Sacramento the
Game at EmgTTTilIs-A Spirited Contest
in The Afternoon Which Frisco Won by
Clever W0Tk-A Prospective S1UtOlt
NiDDed in The Bud at San JOSS-AmdtsIT
Games.

In the expressive language of the score
book of this day and age the game at
the Haight-street grounds yesterday after
noon between Sacramento and Frisco was
full of ginger, whatever that is. Some Of
the PLAYERS were fuller of this invigOratng
substance than others. These were the
muscular young men of greater merit whose
bread is won in bondage in the house Of
Henry Harris. Their play fairly sparkled
with the efferveScent brilliancy of the GIN
ger infused into it, and they triumphed over
the weaker by score of 10 to s.
With the exception OF Cobb'S error IN the
third the home team played an errOrlesS
game. lie pitched a splendid game, but six
struggling hits being made off his delivery,
and the visitors lonely pair of runs were
highly priced on account of their scarcity.
France proved an easy victim for the heavy
sloggeTs in the local nine, and the way they
lined out the bali made his head ache.
Sharp fielding work characterized the game
throughout. though the Senators we're guilty
Of a few scandalous blunders. IT would not
be bad idea for the field hands OF the Capt.
toll City TO get some OF those llIe-netS Ike the
liremen use. With strong rope handles at the
corners They might have three OF four of
these nets stationed over the field already
spread out for action. Then when high
hy came out the ielderS could gather up
their net, stand underand keep the ball from
coming In violent contact with the cold, cold
ground Ike it did yesterday.
Two Of these distressing accidents took
place 10 the ninth inning. Danny Sweeney
sent p high one to Short left Work, Peoples
and Huston surrounded the spot Where the
bail was abeut to land, and, with a show OF
politeness seldom seen on ball field, each
waited for the other TO take IT, a few min
utes later Clark sent up a fly that came down
bsck Of the pitchers box. The entire lnfeid
Was there, each urging the other TO ORhead
and DO something. By the time they arrived
at an understanding it was eyerlasungly too
Iate
Nj Ward was In better form than he ap-
peared to be in Saturdays game and when
be vas called before the curtain for a neat
one-hauded stop of q hot liner in the third
inning, he fairly dubbed over with affability
and came marching in at the close Of the
inning with calm unTutfled serenity.
Sweeney played great game, taking In
no less than seven difficult flies in center
field. Pop SWEET led in the heavy hitting
department. lining out one home run and q
three dagger. Among the other features
was the neat and effective manner in which
Work and McGuiIk were headed of while
trying to seal second. Taken altogether it
was one eff the most interesting Frisco has
seen for some time. The score follows:
The morning call., 1891-05-25
He Had a Hemorrhaee,

Mr.. Clifford was walking along the side
walk, and at a point where scaffolding
was obstructing the way, he stopped and
looked intently down on the pavement. A
painter had evidently let fall bucket OF
green paint, and it was splaShed and scat
tered about most lavishly. AS he looked at
1T another man came along aud he, seeing
the first looking so intently, began close
inspection for himself. In city and q
crowded thorOughfare it does not take long
to collect crowd. In a very few moments
there was a complete circle around the paint
splatters, and still they kept on coming.
The outside ones began to crowd and push
TO get inside and see what the trouble was.
No one had spoken, until at last pan out
on the very outside, standing on tiptoe and
craning his neck to get as good a view as
possible, asked:
whats the matter In therep ANY one
hurt?"
''Oh, no." said the first man who had
stopped; II guess not; only an Irishman has
had hemorrhagc. Chicago Times.
