Base.

The revival of public interest in baseball
This year is due in a large measure to the
excellence of the clubs. This is partlcu-
larly true on the coast.
The four teams of the California Base
ball League were never equipped in the
matter of skill and proficiency as they are
this season. Some of the players now on
the coast have in former years shown well
in some of the best Eastern clubs, and
many of the others are competent to play
with the best teams in America.
This is as it should be, but as 1t has not
always been. However. the interest taken
in the game this year and the ample
patronage they are bestowing upon it is
proof that the fancy talent is appreciated.
1t shows the managers what the public
want, and in the future it is more than
likely that the managers will profit by
their present experiences.
The large number of good players in the
California League this year has suggested
that if a composite nine should be selected
from all the clubs of the league a team
could be got together that ought to be able

Tuesday, May so, at Metropolitan Temple.
The committee ON invitations reported
that invitations were sent out TO some of
our leading Irish and American citizens
and the responses received up to date gave
promise of large attendance of noted
friends of the movement.
Resolutions were read in support of the
meeting. as well as full list of the names
of the imprisoned Irish patriots, which In

THEOLOGY AND LOGIC.
The Small Boy Bothers His Big
Brother in a Terrible Manner.

Cincinnati Commercial-G 6 azette.
One of Avondale's well-known young
men took his small brother out to drive
with him in his new dogcart the other af-
ternoon and soon began TO believe that he
had an elephant on his hands, for that
small boy is Of an inquiring turn of mind
and can ask more unauswerable questions
in given space of time than any young
ster on the heights.
"Say. Charley." he suddenly began. els

Rather startled by the sudden query,
Cahrlis stammered: "W-why, yes. j guess
se-whv, of course-yes, God is every

"Why n-n--y-yes-er-that is, I suppose
-yes-why certainy-yes. He's in the
dogcart," faltered Charlie, doubtfully, Sc
he turned to bow profoundly TO two young
ladies of his set
"Well hen, say, Charlie. where is He
under the seat?' persisted the young
seeker for the truth.
But the young ladies were just then
smiling their prettiest and Cnarlie's mind
was elsewhere-and he absent-min dedIy
replied:
"Oh, yes, suppose So"
Fairly bursting with Indignation the
youngster jammed his pudgy fists into hfs
preoccupied older brothers ribs and cried
in voice that could be heard a half a
block against the wind.

UNDER HIS POWER
Young Men Are Hypnot=
lied for Pleasure.
An Audience of Fashionables Enter
tanned With High-Class Hypnot-
ism by j. Franklin Brown.

j. franklin Brown enterta ined select
audience in Metropolitan TEN Pile with a
series of hypnotic exhibitions last evening.
In Introducing himself he sal d it would be
his aim to give some idea of the growth
and methods employed by various hyp-
notists. a
In the early days of hypnotism it re-
quired from fifteen to twenty minutes
time to subdue the subject, but now the
hypnotic condition is produced in ten sec
onds. To give illustrations subjects were
needed.
"Will some gentleman step up on the
PLATFORM" asked the hypnotist.
Four young men walked forward from
the audience without hesitation, and
shortly alter man with bushy whiskers,
created laugh by shouting: I'M go too"
Brown asked for committee TO investi-
gate bis work, and DR.. William Simpson,
Mayor Eliert and General w. II. L. Barnes
took seats upon the stage.
To slow music the four young men
dropped into the mysterious shadow land
under the influense of dramatic passes. but
the man with the whiskers only grinned
and opened his eyes. He was put aside.
The subjects were placed in what was
called cataleptic and somnambuistic con-
ditions-One presupposing rigid state of
the body. the other rerfectly natural
condition only the subject could see
heaven, etc., in imaginary clouds.
Now, you have magnificent whiskers," 4"
said the hypnotist to one young man, and
the deceived youth stroke his chm and
appeared te imagine tempting oppor-
,tu ities-for The wind around his lower jaw.
Another was made imagine he had
tOothache. or that he was dancing, and
still another suffered needle and thread
to be drawn through his cheek without
wincing.
The principal subjec: was put into a
cataleptic state and his rigid body
stretched between two chairs. While
making a girder of himself he was used
as bridge for the hypnotist 10 sit upon.
They played imaginary dominoes with a
mythical Mr.. Brown, supposed to be very

to defeat even the giants OF New ork and
Chicago.
tits THE CALLS idea to name this COM
posite team. which should contain the nine
best players in their respective roles in the
entire league.
Of course considerable difference Of
opinion was found to exist among the
managers and baseball experts as to which
PLAYERS were the best in their lines. But
the difference is not so marked but what
1t was possible to strike what one may
term happy medium between them.
And then the weight Of public sent-
ment on the matter was carefully con-
sidered. The result Is that the chosen
nine, as a whole. meets with the aDproUa-
ton of most of the baseball experts and is
overwhelmingly indOrsed by the majority
of the patrons of the game.
THE CALLS composite league team,
then, is composed as follows:
Ptcher-Clark Griffith.
Third base-"Kid" Hulen.
Second base-Robert Glenalvin.
First base-Howard Earle.
Shnrtstop-William Peoples.
Right field-Fred Carroll.
Left field-Joe McGucken.
Center feld-W. Work.
Catcher-Peter Lohman.
The best expression obtainable of the
opinion of the public and the experts is
that the men named are the strongest in
the California League.
They are not only Of superior skill in
their separate lines, but are good all
round players besides.
They are thorough baseball men, compe-
tent in every position and gifted with the
intelligence which nowadays is indispens-
able to a scientific player.
Mere skill and brute strength will not
suffice under the present rules, and a
pitcher who cannot bat. catcher who
cannot throw, as we'll as any player who
has not the intelligence to act promptly
and to the best advantage under the most
| trying circumstances, are simply not IN 1t
| with the modern scientific baseball man.
Colonel T. P Robinson indorses THE

FARMS AT A LOSS.
A Big Russian Proprietor
Tells Why.
His z5,000-Acre Farm Requires
5000 Laborers-Wants Our
Machinery.

Nicholas Shabalsky, wealthy Russian
who halls from Slavianak, in the govern
ment of Kharkoff, a district on the shores
of the Sea of Azof, was among yesterdays
arrivals at the Palace Hotel.
NJ. Shabalsky is one of the largest land
owners in the south of Russia and as
mammoth farmer wields considerable in
fuence in the province where he lives and
gives employment to a whole army of
peasants.
When seen by CALL reporter at his
hotel last night he said: "Icame over to
this country to see the great exposition.
Travelled in company with some of the
Russian commissioners from Europe, and
from their anticipatory descriptions I sx-
pected to find the Worlds Fair in perfect
order for visitors
"But in reality the Exhibition was so m
perfect at the time, and everything so
unfinished that I came away in disgust,
and intend to spend month or two in
travelling through the different States, by
which time l hope TO find the buildings at
Chicago ready for visitors.
''The agricultural department of the
show is what is attracting my attention,
as am anxious to inspect and purchase
some of the best and latest machinery for
use ON my farm. Hitherto, / have en-
poyed very little but the most primitive
methods in raising and gathering crops,
and have found the work very unsatis-
factory.
81 have something like $4,000 acres of
land altogether. and to work this used to
employ from 1000 to 5000 men, but found
1t so difficult and vexatious to manage
such an army that a few years ago l gave
mp cultivatiDg on such large scale and
leased the major part of the land to tenant
farmers
"The Russian peasants are by no means
the serfs of thirty years ago and have soon
learned the rights Of liberty, of which they
avail themselves as freely as the American
laborers, seldom losing an opportunity to
90 on strike just when their services are
needed the must.
with some modern American machin-
cry hope 10 overcome much of the labor
difficulty and gather my crops without an
annual con flict with the peasants.
''This is my first visit to this great coun-
try, and of course need scarcely say ]
am delighted with it. L DO not wonder
that so many of my countfymen choose to
| live here.
"Where live, among the Cossacks of
the Don. there are vast numbers of peas
ants who are just held down for life
through financial transactions with usu-
rers."
NJ. Shabelsky is not by any means what
is usually regarded as a typical. farmer
He speaks English and several other lam
guages fiuently, and is literary man OF
some note in his own country. Among

All FOO'S PLUNGE.
A Wild Chinaman's At
tempt at Suicide.
HE TRIES THREE METHODS.
Cuts Ills Throat, Shoots Himself and
Then Jumps Into the Waters
of the Bay.

Ah Foo, tough-looking Chinaman,
made bic for an obituary notice by
jumping into the bay at the foot of Market
street early this morning.
He was fished out OF the briny deep by a
policeman and sent to the city prison.
From thence. after having been interro-
gated by fellow -countryman who knew
little English, he was sent to the Receiving
Hospital.
All Foo told the prison officials that he is
a laundryman and was tired of life.
There was broad red scar on his throat
which he said had been made by a razor
in his own hand.
He had on several coats, which, dripping
with the water of the bay, were stripped
from his yellow body by the officer who
took him to the prison.
In one of the pockets of the innernost
coat was a silver-mounted opium pipe.
1--WE had better send him to the Receiv-
ing Hos pital," said Sergeant Bidwell.
"Are you sure that man is not wounded
in some other place ?" asked a CALL re-
porter.
''Strip him and see." was the answer.
All FOo's many coats were removed and
bullet wound from which blood was
pouring was displayed few inches below
and to the right of the navel.
The wounded man said that the wound
was self-inflicted; that he had tried to cut
Ix;, hot hi fbok ha
thrown himself into the bay.
81 think he is crazy or is under the in
f1uence of OPIUM" said the sergeant, and
he then called for the patrol wagon.
'Take this man to the Receiving Hos
pital." was the order given to the driver,
and the man was taken to the Receiving
Hospital.
Ah Foo before he was taken to the hos
pital said that he had had some trouble
with some of his countrymen.
When asked what it was he replied,
''Me no want tell"
Being urged he said that it was trouble
about money due him.
Being told that that was but slight
cause for trying to kill himself he said
You no sable all; too much; no can tell
No amount Of coaxing could induce him
to tell what it was.
Whether the Chinaman attempted to put
an end to his life to avoid punishment at
the hands of highbinders Is something that
set the officers wondering.
At the Receiving Hospital the surgeon
examined the wound on the neck and the
one on the abdomen, and declared that
neither is of dangerous character.
