THE LATEST ABOUT PFEFFER.
Fred, So It Is Said, VIII Retire From the
Diamond to = saloon,

CHICAGO, Jan. E.-TSpecial. lit developed
yesterday thai Fred Pfetfer's ball days are
really over. When It was announced some
rina ago that Pfefar might retire people
smiled and paid little heed TO the report.
They remembered that with the many thou
sand threats from ball-players that they
would retire, Jim Mccormick was really the
only one to make good his threat. 1t now
appears that Fred really meant what he
said. Last winter when the Players League
went under, one OF Fred's friends in Louis
Vile, Insn of considerable til and in
hugnce, sent Tor him and offered to provide
BIN with handsome saloon in the Falls
City if he would retire from the game and
take personal charge OF the place.
Fred considered the offer seriously for a
tine, aud was on the point of accepting it
when his reconciliation with Anson was
brought about. and thence his signing with
the Chicago club. His subsequent brea X
with the old man and his efforts in behalf Of
the ill-fated American Association club are
matters of recent date.

A marvellous L1ttle yorker In0t Is Now on
Exhibition in an Alcohol Jar.
NYACK, Jan. 17.-Taxidermist William
Felter last night brought to De Crafts S
drug store to put in alcohol a remarkable
little pig freak, born a week ago on the
premises of Alfred Higginson.
The little porker is ten inches long and
has pig body covered with thick white
bristles, but in its forehead is diamond
shaped opening lined with hair-like eye
lashes on all four sides. On either side of
this are pig eyes. The rest of the face is
monkey-shaped, and miniature elephant
trunk takes the place of nose or snout
The tail is a perfect rat tail four inches
long. Two of the feet are pig feet and the
others are like those of rabbit. The
mother is full-blooded sow, and the rest
of the litter were proper little pore ines
Felter bought the curiosity for 50, and
many people have seen and wondered at
the freak. All regret that its tenure of life
was SO brief.
