THE BASEBALL CHAMPIoNsHIP.-The
Baltimore baseball club by its victory
over Cleveland yesterday virtually won
the championship for 1894, as it cannot
be displaced by its nearest competitor,
the New York club. They have only
three more games to play, and even
should they lose all of these and the
New Yorks win all of theirs, they can
not be beaten. The two defeats sus-
tanned by Boston in Cincinnati yester-
day also make it impossible for the
New Yorks to be forced out of second
place. Philadelphia holds forth place.
A narrow margin separates the Brook
and Cleveland clubs, but they will, in
all probability, finished in the order
named. The second division is led by
Pittsburg, followed by Chicago, whose
nearest competitor, Cincinnati, is but
two games behind. St. Louis is tenth,
Washington eleventh and Louisville
ri lgs up the res
Now that the standing OF the clubs for this
season, which closes on the Both inst, is set
tied, interest is conferred in the contest for the
Temple cup between the two leade,s--Balti-
more and New York. Manager Hanlon, Of
III, Baltimore club, and Manager Ward, of
tho New York club, have decided to play
seven or nine games after tho season is over.
Each manager believes he has the better team,
aud the games will doubtless be the most hot
" contested ever seen on the diamond. All
is decided save the number of games to be
played, and this will doubtless be fixed at
Hn,ne. An even number will be played in
New York and Baltimore. while the odd game
viii be played in q city yet to be decided

at Tolerton's Park yesterday evening.
The lake was dragged and the bodies OF
a woman and child we're found. They
proved to be Mrs. Charles Hunt and her
infant daughter. The child was strap

The Hurricane Doing Much Damage.

Inc hurTICdEc OOiuS uAuCi OdiudSc'
SAVANNAH, Ga, Sept. 26.-Every-
thing now points to the storm equall-
ing if it does not exceed in violence
the fearfully destructive cyclone of Au-
gust 1898. At Tybee the wind ranges as
high as seventy-ive miles an hour. At
low tide to-day the water there was
higher than at the highest tide. The
ocean is steadily encroaching on the is
land and it is thought that by night it
will be completely submerged. Those
ON the island will have to take refuge
in the light house and Martello tower.
The hotels and cottages appear to be
doomed, as the wind in Savannah is
now as high as As miles and steadily
increasing in velocity. The outlook is
very bad.

THE APPROACHING HuRR1cANE.-A

THE APPROACHING HURRICANE.-A
dispatch from st. Augustine, Fla, dated
yesterday evening says: "Trains south
OF here are all stopped by the storm,
which is increasing in velocity this
evening. The sea is q a of seething
breakers, and the great waves are rush
ing over the sea wall, the spray being
thrown fifty feet. Bay street is covered
with water. All crafts have taken to
Sebastian river. Anastasia Island is
submerged. A driving rain is coming
in gusts. All wires south are down."
A terrific gale is raging along the
east and west coasts of Florida and also
at interior points. Reports are meager,
rs the wires south of Jacksonville are
either down or are working badly. The
report of injury to shipping at Key
West cannot be verified, as the wires to
that place are down. A message reach
ed Jacksonville from Titusville and
Jupiter late yesterday afternoon that the
wind was blowing sixty miles an hour
at those places. Soon after the wires
to those places were reported down.
Trains from the south are delayed and
it will be tomorrow before anything
definite can be learned as to the effects
Of the gale. 1t is not thought, however,
that any loss of life has resulted. The
storm seems to be more violent in the
Indian river country than elsewhere,
and owing to its slow movement it is
thought that the orange crop will be
badly damaged. Orange men are afraid
that the results to the crop will be more
d disastrous than we're those of the great
storm of October, 1898.

New York Democrats.

SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 26.-Wm. G.
Whitney's decision that he would not
accept the nomination for governor
fl .shed over the wires early this NOM
ing and startled the democratic states
men who were booming him.
The machine democrats including
their sagacious chief David B. Hill,
were not surprised. They expected
nothing else. Mr.. Whitney's prompt
ness in arriving at decision prevented
any further p%rotraction of the uncer-
tainty concerning him, and left the field
to the other candidates who were tenn
porarily laid aside yesterday pending
Mr.. Whitney's arrival. With both
Gaynor and Whitney out of it the
Cleveland democrats and the reformers
have no strong man to put forward and
| the nominee must now be q Hill demo
crat or one whom the machine regards
favorably. The candidates left in the
field this morning are only John Boyd
Thatcher and Daniel Lockwood. David
B. Hill will undoubtedly be compelled
to either decline or accept a nomination
from the platform. He says that be
will positively decline no matter what
kind of a demonstration is made in the
convention. The probabilities are that
there will be a dark horse sprung at the
last moment and that dark horse will
be the present ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

1875 p. NIT now looks very much
like the following ticket: John Boyd
Thatcher for Governor; Colonel George
B. McClelland for Lieutenant Govern
or; Judge Titus for Judge.
The Tammany men in New York.
the Mclaughlin men in Kings and the
Herrick democrats in Albany, were
all given seats in the convention.
Perry Belmont, who was talked OF
for Lieutenant Governor, has declined
to accept and Colonel George B. Nc
Clelland is the most prominent candi-
date for the place.
The democratic State convention
was called to order by Senator Hill at
1:41 D. M. The committee on contest
ed seats has decided in favor of all sit
ting delegates except in Monroe coun-
ty where q reorganization is ordered.
The Shepardites of Brooklyn left the
hall when the report was read. The
Faircbild democrats from New York
also left the hall upon the adoption OF
the report excluding them from recog-
milton.
The platform congratulates the dem.
ocratic administration on the careful
and conscientious manner in which the
business of the country is attended 10
by the appointment of efficient
officers to the heBds of public de-
partments; congratulates the party
upon the repeal of the Sherman law;
upon the repeal of the federal election
law: declares that the abolition of the
Mckinley tariff law and the en-
actment of a new tariff measure
in accordance with the democratic
platform at Chicago; asserts that
the new tariff law will be a wise and
excellent substitute for the partisan McKin-
ley bill, ard, as a whole, will help the people
and the country; declares against future
amendments of the tariff by revision as a
whole. but contends that necessary altera-
tions can be made by the passage Of special
laws relating to the removal of the duty from
raw material only.

A DIVISION of the painters union OF
London have ~boycotted the Baroness
Burdett-C outts for permitting her sta
blemen to paint her stables with ready
made paint, instead of having her
painting done by union painters. OF
all the people in England, there isn't
one who has done as much for, or CON
tributed more to, the working classes OF
that country as the lady referred to.
But English labor unions e to have
no more common sense than those OF
this country. 1t wouldn't be in accord
ance with human nature for the Bar
oness to be as well disposed toward
them hereafter as she has been hereto
fore. And then, too, how can there be
liberty in a country in which a woman
can not have the work about her own
private premises done by her own en-
ployees? What would n of the
members of the painters union referred
to, think a tailors' union that should
boycott him because his wife made his
trousers?

There is literally nothing new to report
from the wholesale markets to-day; while
the merchants say that business is increasing
in volume prices have no tendency to adj
vance. Flour is easy. Wheat is very quiet
and the demand is almost entirely confined to
prime milling samples; sales 4S, 40, 81, 81
and SO, latter for longbcrry. Corn is steady
at 60 to 81 in bulk on cars. Rye is fairly
active at Al to so. Oats 35 to 81. We
again note that Eggs, Butter, Potatoes and
Produce of all kinds are sold quickly a. full |
figures. Bacon, Sugar and other Provisions
are firm. Millfeed is lower as the farmers are
feeding wheat instead. Hay and Straw are
weak.

THE ALLEGED abandonment of the
democratic party by the sugar planters
of Louisiana will not amount to much,
the loss being estimated at democratic
headquarters in Washington at, posi-
bly,, one congressman, but in Louisiana
at not even that much. The sugar
planters, no matter what the republi-
cans may imply to the contary, are
not clean daft, and as their Senator,
Mr.. Gallery, says, they know that
"their only hope for a tariff on sugar
rests upon the democratic party" A
large majority of the present demo-
cratic members of Congress are cuckoos,
and though the President tried to have
the last cent of protection removed from
the coal of Virginia, he favored the re-
tention of that on sugar. Mugwump-
ism and Surrender" may cause de-
lection in the democratic ranks in Lou
isiana, as they do elsewhere, but surely
DO such effect will be produced by a
forty per cent. protection on the pro-
duct of the sugar planters ofthat State

Shippers of Live Poultry.

Commission merchants would like to
call attention of shippers to few
points. Shippers should see that the
coops are in good condition before using,
so chat they are not liable to come
apart while in transit The coops
should also be high enough to allow
whatever kind of poultry is shipped
room enough to stand up. Low coops
should not be used, it not alone being
cruel, but great deal of poultry is lost
every year by suffocation. Coops
should not be overcrowded. In shipping
hens and roosters they should be kept
separate. Nothing depreciates the value
of fine crop of hens as much as TO
have number of old cocks among
them. Shippers often wonder why
they don't get the highest market price
for their stock. In most cases this is
the reason good stock always COM
mands quick sale at best prices.
Poultry should be shipped so as to
arrive on the market from Tuesday to
Friday. Receipts generally increase to-
wards the end of the week, and there is
enough carried over stock ON hands
Saturday to supply the demand. Mer-
chants, rather than carry stock over
Sunday would sell at sacrifice, as the
stock, when in coops, loses considerable
in weight by shrinkage, and does not
appear fresh and bright. Besides Mon
day is usually poor day to sell poul-
try

treme sensitiveness of her nervous Or

danes, residents of the village, were
participants in this mild festivity.
AS the guests were seated around the
table, the summer boarder chanced to
look out of the window and saw Jenk-
ins Sanderson approaching the house
with message for his wife. 1t was
the summer boarder's first sight of him.
"Oh, mercy on us.n she exclaimed in
shrill dismay, dropping her tea cup
with clatter; lust see! Who 8 that
awful looking man coming up the path?
He has frightened me almost out of my
wits!"
The embarrassment of the other
guests was painful for moment, but
no longer. Mrs. Sanderson gazed calm
ly out of the window and then turned
her mild glance upon the hysterical
boarder.
"Why, ma a'am," she said, TRANQUILITY,

awful looking man, but God made

We have sometimes seen form of

be half covered with dust or mildew.
So religion, which is more precious

Facts About Tons.

1t may interest the boys to know that
nearly all the tops they spin are mad :
in Pennsylvania. In one town in that
State there is a factory which employs
over two hundred hands. Tops are
made of lockwood, maple and litnum
vitae. Taking all kinds of tops to-
gether, a larger number of maple are
sold than either of the other woods;
lockwood comes next, and next lignim
vitae; but in the aggregate amount of
sales OF each kind the lockwood tops
are first, the maple next and the lignum
vatae last. Not many lignum vatae
tops are sold, on account of their cost.
The lignum vitae tops are sold more in
the south and in the northwest than in
other parts of the country. 1t may be
of interest to note that most of the iron
pegs used in peg tops are cast in
Newark, N. J.-Hartford Post.

HISTORY as a Eield for Rerinpers.


1t has been suggested that l should
say few words on the subject of his
tory as field for beginners in author
ship. If we are to assume that the
young aspirant for literary fame is to
depend upon his pen for support, l
should certainly consider it an act of
folly. If any beginner in this branch
of literature, entirely dependent upon
his labor, has ever succeeded, knowl-
edge of his phenomenal case has never
reached me nor do l know of any sue
cessful historical writer of mature
years who has relied solely on this kind
OF literary work for his support. Ban
croft could not have lived comforta-
bly, on his well known work, nor Mot
ley, Prescott, nor Parkman, on the
proceeds of their brilliant historical
writings. These men all inherited or
married fortunes. Indeed, it is ques-
tionable whether literary career can
be commended to a beginner in the his
torical or any other field, unless it be
accompanied by an income, however
small, derived from some other source.
If the aspirant for historical writings
is so situated that he can write de-
cade for his literary harvest, like the
authors just mentioned, then, assuming
his or her possession of the requisite
qualifications, natural and acquired,
know OF no branch of authorship more
delightful, and more likely to bring re
nown and reasonable pecunisry results,

much change on the farmers of this

these hard times because they voted
tho Republican ticket at the last Presi-
dential election, 30 they are not going
to suffer for the folly of those who
voted the Democratic ticket. Some
hard headed Democrats are still claim
ing that the Democrats are not respon-
sible for these hard times. If they are
not responsible they are in the wrong
place. They are making themselves
responsible by not acting. The man
agement of our Government is in their
hands, If they can not bear the respon
sibility let them surrender the Govern
ment to some party that can bear the
responsibility. The Sunday School at
Knob Creek is fourishing at present; /;
everybody seems to be interested in the
