 referred to the spectators booted decision which the umpire made in good faith. Ev- cry boot was like so many dagger thrusts into his heart by a vengeful, jealous Bru- tus. Like all careful minded Kentucky um- pires, this one carried Q small gatling gun just below his right kidney. Instead of training the gun on his traducers, he calm ly walked behind the backstop and blew out his brains. For who would fardels bear, brave the wild crank's contumely, etc., if he his brains could scatter with six shooter? Good thing the League umpires are not so sensitive as was that Kentucky official else every backstop in the 12 cities would be plastered with brains. I never in all my 16 years experience with professional base ball knew as much kicking" to be indulg- ed in on the fields of the major league as has marred the early championship games thus far in 1894 But President Young has instructed his umpires to nip the evil in the bud, and they are doing it by 8 system of lavish, costly and painful fines Stages forfeit of that Washington game to the Brooklyns under a strict construction of the rules was the most autOcratic move made by any umpire to date. Yet it was merely strict construction of baseball law as it is written.
 have dwelt upon the great revival of the
 
 song without music, but I cannot refrain from adding 6 few words to express wonder over the demonstration at the Polo ground in New York On the opening day, April 28. There is no record in the history of the game wherein that demonstration was equaled. Rain began to fall on that afternoon before l o'clock, yet the multitude kept pouring into the ground with umbrellas up. The rain never wholly ceased during the after noon till about o'clock, but the crowd poured ill until more than 1S,Oo0 people were present to see game in the rain.
 And they saw it. The two clubs sensibly agreed that such faith and enthusiasm should have their reward. So, contrary toall usages, the game began in steady down pour of rain and was played for several in nings under such unusual disadvantages The immense grand stand, which seats more than 5000 persons, was crowded even to the aisles, and the rest of the throng sat or stood ill the rain unmindful of their drenching. Another surprising feature of the game was the presence, in spite of the elements, of several thousand ladies.
 The Polo ground attendance of over 50,. 900 spectators in the first seven games tells in thunderous tones of the games resurrec. tion. To this is added the unusual testi- mony of 34,000 people at the first two Sat urday games in Philadelphia.
 Oh, yes! It seems certain that the mag" mates will make money this year. Well, why shouldn't they? These men who have stood by the game when it was necessary to feed it with bank rolls to keep it alive lost during the disastrous ears of 1890, 1891 and 1892 more than $500,C0). New York alone sunk s200, 900 of the amount. Now, why should not their gameness be rewarded with chance to retrieve this loss? Yet at the first sign Of v

 What did tell you? It is impossible to Keep good man down. The salt of the earth will rise to the surface. Uncle Adri- annapolis Constantinople Anson is in har- ness once more, and if his string of Colts do not begin to move up to the front of the field under the old mans mount shall be very much surprised.
 If Anson's s pitchers would d. fitting work, his team would give satisfaction to Chica- goans. But with Hutchison pounded every time he goes into the box, with McGill and Clausen far from rounded up into form and with his other free raw material an un- certain quantity, Anson doesn't exactly know where he is at But now that he has put Ryan into the outfield and has gath cred up the reins in his own gnarled, knuckled and disjointed hands, you may expect to hear the crack of his whip and @ great clattering of hoofs upon the League highway. If anybody is deluded into the belief that this Gladstone of the national game is going to remain with tail hold on the League race, he is doomed to be unde- ceived very soon. Anson was never last in baseball in his life, and should such fate fix itself upon him in his declining years believe he would ''hs quietus make with bare bodkin" or corncutter.
 That reminds me of the latest sensation in baseball. An umpire committed suicide few days ago. They usually die at the hands of somebody else. This umpire lived in Kentucky, where a mans "honah, sah," is dearer than anything on earth except the reputation of his native liquors. In the case

An Era of Cheapness

Look out for it, everybody is trying to cheapen anything. no matter what you buy, whether to eat, to wear or to look at. When business is quiet they try to make profits by using cheap material. Better look before you buy. There are los of hollow boasts made about all kinds of goods. The firm that has built up a reput rtion by years of labor and square deal ing, that pays back money in any case where goods are not satisfactory, is a good firm to keep in mind these times.

 MT. Royal was elected to the Domin- ion parliament in 1880 by Manitoba constituency and succeeded in having a committee appointed to study the feasi- bility of railway from Winnipeg to Hudson bay. Out of this came the in corporation of the Hudson Bay Rail way company, which will probably one day exert an immense influence on the development of the Canadian northwest. In 1888 Mir. Royal was appointed lieu tenant governor of the Northwest Terri tories, position which he held for the regular term of five years to July l, 1898, and in which he was continued until last December.
 In his social life Mr. Royal is charm ing, and his conversation is most at tractive He is possessed of a thorough and varied learning, speaks with facil- ity both French and English and is equally popular with the leading men of both political parties. His intimacy with Licr4e,;snt Governor Chapleau is personal as well as political, and sig nif1cant szzYnor has it that the manu- script of his pamphlet was submitted to and approved by MT.

prosperity comes vne muI-

prosperity comes Uue InuU- tering of the ball players. Though they carried of the greater part of the money which was fed into the game in those three years, they are ready to try to garrote the magnates as soon as the latter get few dollars the best of the business. The Bos- ton players are loudest in their demand for higher salaries, and they even go so far as to make threats against another year. It is not likely, however, that these threats can be put into execution. The lessons of the revolt of 1890 and 1891 were too dearly learned and are still too wildly rememb ber- ed, and the mistakes of those years will not be repeated. Should the year prove finan- cially successful, salaries will gradually be increased, but they'll never reach the ruin- ous size of 1890. Nevermore!
 The news of the death of the veteran Bob Ferguson in Brooklyn on May sent feeling of sadness to people wherever base ball as game is known. He was one of the most famous of the ''old guard" His fame was won as second baseman and cap tain of the old Atlantics of Brooklyn in the sixties and seventies, and it was his work and generalship which went far toward bringing to the Atlantics the glory of de- feating the Cincinnati Red Stockings in June, 1870, and ending thereby their re- markable chain of victories.
 In later years he became an umpire of recognized fairness and merit. Then he tried to manage the Metropolitan team when Erastus Wiman owned the club, but was not a great success in that line. Nc man ever played ball who was more highly and widely respected than Robert Fergu son. His honesty was always above suspi- cion, and scandal never breathed a word against his upright life professionally.
 The National league has in its ranks this year about 15 left handed pitchers. Of them all it remains an open question which is the greater-Kilen or Breitenstein. The lat ter .tood third in thefist of all the League players last season. He performed the re markable feat of shutting out the Louis villes without hit and would have done the same to the Brooklyns had it not been for scratch single on ball which dropped before the plate. His work this year has been almost invincible and his friends ex pect to see him very nearly lead the League pitchers. Theodore is Q St. Louis boy by birth, is 24 years old and quite favorite at home and abroad.

Especial Correspondence.1
 DENVER, May 2. - The railroad has killed the stage in this as in nearly all other localities, and away back in the six ties they tell mo that ono great stage system comprised 1,GOO horses and 100 coaches, end where stages could not go they put cn pack trains, for they were bound to got passengers and mails through somehow During tho winter months in the snow belt of tho Sierras they ran sleighs Virginia City and the Comstock lode in Nevada were one objective point In these days, and the lines never stopped running for storm, heat nor cold. It cost S1OO, 900 to build the road of one line, to say nothing of the equipment An, but those were piping timesl So they tell me here.
 But those marvellous Rio Grande rail- roads that climb mountains like sand hills are pushing the stage, with its four-in- hand, its reckless drivers, it's mad whirl around precipices and its flight down mountain sides, to the wall. With the passing of tho stage from the Colorado mountains will go many a romantic ad- venture, many deed of daring and many a tale of a hair lifting nature. The road agents, those delightful rascals who have entertained us so many years with their audacious exploits will perforce degener- ate into mere commonplace, humdrum train robbers. The jaunty, devil-may-ca young drivers, whose picturesque costume is a cross between that of a cowboy and miner, will find their occupation of soaring timid eastern people to death gone. Alas, other times, other manners! What a pity that the old fashion is continually depart ingl
 Tho most romantic stage ride in Colo rado today is that from Ironton to Ouray, the gem of the Rockies.
