KING KELLY'S SLIDE
He Signs to Play With the
Boston League Club.
BASEBALL CIRCLES SURPRISED
To Receive the Biggest Salary Ever Given
to Player.

He VIII be Paid SS5, 900 from Now Until
the Close OF the Season OF '92-To Cap
sain the Team--He Starts This Morning
for Cleveland in a Special Car--The As
ISOLATION Very Bitter.
Boston, Aug 26.-Mike Kelly, of the
Boston Reds, has signed a contract to
Hay with the Boston League club.
The news that Kelly had left the Asso-
citation created the biggest baseball SEN
sation of the season. The financial con-
sideration which he received was enough
to stagger almost any baseball player.
His salary for the present time to the
close of the season of 1902, including the
bonus which he received for signing,
will be the unprecedented sum of $25, 900.
This is the top notch in the way of sal
aries to ball players, and is even more
than Mike himself ever dreamed of get
ting
In addition to receiving this fat salary
he has been appointed captain of the nine,
Bill Nash having resigned that position a
week ago.
Kelly left for Cleveland this morning
in special car chartered for the tri-
umphal tour.
The cause of Kelly's slide Is attributed
in general to the fact that he felt himself
to be too big a man to be ruled by the
Association authorities and in particular
to little row that he had with Manager
Irwin just before csle Of the games with
the Baltimores last week. Irwin wanted
Kelly to lay off. Kelly wanted to play.
Irwin carried his point, and Kelly has
been sulking in his tent ever since,
and all attempts at pacification have
failed.
Whatever the cause, Kelly has lost in
popular favor by his latest move. The
big mass of the Association followers are
very bitter over his departure.

making up of the train for Manchester
Warden Phillsbury, of the State prison,
came into the car here, and taking the
prisoner by the hand said: GLOW do you
do, Abbott?' The prisoner replied: 81
do not know you" He appeared to be
afraid of the crowd, and drew a sheet
over his face to prevent recognition.
Officer Foster, who lives near the War
den farm, on leaving Abbott, grasped his
hand, when the latter said goodbye"
and burst into tears.
Almy denies that he is Abbott. He
says he wants to be tried for the murder
of Christie Warden, butno branded as q

FAST, BUT A KICKER.
Short Story About q Horse That Yer
mont Man Once Owned.

Short Story About a Horse That a Yer
mont Man Once Owned.
"Speaking about horses" said Col.
Calliper, reminds me of horse that
was once owned by friend of mine
who lives at Storkville Center, VT: This
horse was just an ordinary hundred
dollar horse until he turned out to be a
trotter. He got SO finally that he could
move in pretty near three minutes.
That made him worth about three hun
dred dollars, which meant a good profit
for the owner; but, unfortunately, just
when the horse had come to that point
he developed also as a kicker He could
kick harder and faster than any horse
I ever saw. He kicked out one end of
the barn and smashed his stall and
broke up everything within reach, until
they put him in an iron stall, which
they had built expressly for him.
1.-THE horse could trot as fast as ever,
but his kicking knocked off that two
hundred dollars of value. If the owner
could have realized on the horse when
he was at his best that two hundred dol
lars at six per cent, would have yielded
twelve dollars year. My friend was
frugal man, and it seemed to him that
perhaps the kicking might be turned to
every day to cut up the fire-wood that
was used on his place, and he figured
out that the. time SO spent cost more
than twelve dollars a year, and that it
would yield at least an equal return if
devoted to some other labor. He de-
cided to let the horse break up the
wood.
Every morning they put some cord
| wood in the iron stall, and the horse
broke it up. For a time this plan
worked satisfactorily and proftably,
but one day when they dropped in a
cherry log the horse wouldn't kick. He
seemed to have discovered that his
energy was being used to benefit his
| owner, and he stopped kicking.
"Possibly in time he might have
again permitted the utilization of his
singular gift, but they didn't wait to
see; they sold him. My friend was not
a grasping man; he didn't even try to
get the price the horse was really
worth as a wood-splitter; he just let
him go as plain trotter."-N. Y. Sun.

Our thoughts are on Mantle,
AS we sit ut home to -night;
Our boys are learning arts of war
In case they have to fight
Ws've Grants, Snermans and Sheridans,
To keep the flag unfurled.
The blood is here, the will is here,
To face the entire world.
The girls are sad and lonesome,
They don't know what to do;
Their thoughts are on Mantle,
And their soldier boys 80 true.
They told us when we'd write tonight,
To tell them not remain,
Here's Jane and Ann and Kate and Fan,
Down waiting for the train.
They want the matter settled,
About their future life.
They think the Quaker Range the best

The chamber SGT of course We'll get,
And all that goes with that;
Extension table, lounges and chairs,
And things that suit our fiat.
SO hurry up, come home and buy,
And follow lifes pursuits;
You know we've got to judge the tree
According to its fruits
Our store is fpll and all complete
To home we'll make you stick;
So here's health to all the boys
Who are now in Mantle.
