heard one summer true story.
which was narrated by q clergyman
to a group OF young folks on a hotel
piazza. shall not tell bly, name be-
cause / know the story better than
the historian
Several years ago this gentleman
was living In the German capital with
his family. There were many ntiw
sights and sounds to interest the
American family, but nothing more
fascinating than the colony of white
storks which settled ON the adjacent
housetops and made a bird village of
the nestled chimney stacks.
The birds had such an air of pro-
prietorship and general coziness that
some member OF the family insisted
that that particular part of the city
was the regular summer home of
these tourists, who return ed to their
old quarters each season in human
fashion. This idea was not accepted
as fact, and there were many specu-
lations as TO some possible means of
testing the theory. Not being up in
the stork language, no ON could ask
questions and get answers. neither
could any mortal remember the fine
points of stork physioghomy from
year to year.
A plan was finally decided upon,
and one particularly aristocratic
monarch-of-all-I.survey looking bird
was enticed by good dinner into the
garden. There was q silver ring
placed about his leg, on which was
engraved Berlin. 1885. He then

the long winter, and at the first sign
of spring eager eyes watch he'd for the
return of the travellers.
After many days distant line Of
storks far up in the blue came into
view. Over the clergyman's house
several detached themselves from the
sky caravan and lowered around the
dwelling. A tempting feast was pre-
pared, and presently the weary pill
grims fiew down into the yard.
Friendly eyes watched 9 very move

THE TOTTERING GAMBLERS.

| AS The News stated the other day.
there is no new story TO tell about the
Narragansett Gambling Association
The News told it all, simply, earnestly
and exhaustively. There is nothing to
add. And as The NEWS suggested
there was no necessity Of doing more
than call public attention to the evil.
Public sentiment is already doing the
rest. The people are staying away from
the race track. Few except those who
enjoy betting as daily pursuit 70 there.
There are not enough of these hero
abouts to make the meeting profitable.

great outside public will not be so
tempted now that the facts of the purpose.

''talent' when this casualty happened
for the Lord was, as The Journal
frankly states, first choice In the fourth
race of five furlongs," in the commod-
ious betting pavilion. No wonder the
talent were Mortified. That was not the
worst of it either. Some Of them "went
broke" as well as being Mortified.
And this interesting technical in
formation which THE NEWS delights
to avail itself of in the columns OF its
esteemed contemporary The Journal,
isn't limited to the columns of free
advertising given the Narragansett
Gambling Association. 1t bobbed up
in the Scituate murder report
this morning, from which it
is learned that "doubtless
he murderer was but a few furlongs
ahead Of the boy when he reined the
little mustang in" There's suspicious
tone to those :" few furlongs," and the

that the sporting reporter has got
tangled up with the murder reporters,
and that the gambling meeting at Mar

department of great newspaper.

BASEBALL.

Baseball seems TO have paid in Provi-
| dence this season, as the directors of the
club have declared hundred per cent.
dividend besides retaining $1,000 sur
plus.
There is no doubt that this gratifying
result might have been attained last
year or the year before had the club
been as skillfully handled and made to
play ball as they have played this year.
Regrets no not avail, however, and
are not called for in this joyous season
OF pennant possession.
Providence has again taken her place
as the premier baseball city of Nsw
England, and the News hopes that none
OF the rumors regarding next season will
operate to the disadvantage Of the
national game next season.
There has been some talk about this
city being a National League post next
season. 1t is question if
such an event would be advan-
tageous, on the whole, to the
game here aud the public's enjoyment
OF it. 1t is not necessarily the big league
clubs that play the best ball, and prob
ably we should find Providence a minor
factor in the National league, for time
at least.
There has also been some rumors that
new association, partially organized,
Providence as one of
Its playing towns. The news
given out about this has led TO
a suspicion that the Eastern league
might be displaced by the new
conner, which would place its clubs in
some Of the towns of the Eastern cir
,uit and include also a number of the
,ities already supplied with national
,lubs.
Whatever happens, it is to be hoped |
hat the lovers and supporters of the
greatest OF American games will see to |
that the sport is duly diamonded in
Providence next year.
