ST. PAUL TIRED OF IT.
The Ball Team There May Be Removed to
Fort wayne.


INDIANAPOLIS, May l3.-The possible trans
fer of the st. Paul club to Fort Wayne has
created considerable talk in Western League
baseball circles. 1t is understood that Presi-
dent Robinson, of the Clevelands, would
back the club If it should be transferred to
Fort Wayne.
eDoes Fort Wayne want to get in the
Western Lacquer" was asked of President
Brush.
Yes, think it does. If the st. Paul club
was being backed by some man who put up
his money literally he would have consider
able to say about the proposed transfer
But If the club was being carried by the
league. as is reported, it would have con-
siderable to say in the event of tranfer."
1t is strongly suspected that the st. Paul
club is being carried by the Western League:
and possibility exists that the latter VIII
find IL convenient to transfer the club to
Fort Wayne At Fort Wayne the CLUB would
command a better attendance and would
make more money. Tho ball park there is
only two and half squares from the Court

A Peddler's License Decision,

CARLISLE, May 13.-Judge Sadler to-day
handed down an opinion affecting soldiers
peddiing licenses. 1t has been the custom
for persons holding such licenses to buy and
sell butter eggs, etc, and Judge Sadler
holds that such barter is illegal and that
such license gives the right to hawk, peddle
and vend, but does not give the right to
buy and sell; therefore such dealers must
pay the regular license fee.

KNIVES IN THE AIR.

Democratic journals that have aided the
recent Blaine boom now chuekle over the
prospect of 4 war in the Republican party
over the nomination. They have worked
industrousy TO make trouble and are now
prematurely rejoicing over its faneied APP
peaTance. But there will be no contention
between Blaine and Harrison. The two
men have worked in harness together for
the past three years and have remained the
best Of friends. They are not going to de-
stroy this fine record at this day. Before
il was known that Blaine would be Harri-
sons Secretary of State an enterprising
Democratic paper represented Blaine
as so entirely filing the White House
that Harrison could not be seen ex-
cept at enc little corner window.
But somehow Mr.. Harrison has held his
own in the White House and elsewhere.
When Blaine has been absent on account of
his health things went on as if the great
Secretary were present. Harrison could
upon emergencies be both President and
Secretary of State. The truth evidently is
that these two great men have a profound
respect for each other. Harrison has been
ready 10 get out OF Blaine's way If the latter
wanted the nomination, and Blaine has
done his best to get out Of Harrison's way.
We cannot conceive of either of them pur-
suing course which would fairly invite
the hostility of the other One will proba-
bly, be nominated at Minneapolis. and the
one that is not will support the one that is
