 John Clarkson, for whose release the Boston club paid the Chicagos slO, 900 less than half 6 score of years ago, Is ''Out of the game" When the Cleyelands released this once great pitcher, the man himself recognized his doom as a ball player, and instead of fighting against fate he went of the diamond without asking for another trial and will begin business at Lansing, Mich, this fall He has saved good deal from his salary and is not without capital to make his start in the commercial world
 The latest sensation in the baseball field was the series of three games between the New Works and BOstOns in New York, which were witnessed by 2S, GOO people. In these games the New York team gave tcs- timony that they are likely to be fighting it out at the finish with the present cham pions- IL now looks as if Boston and New York would be the cOntending teams in the end.

HUGH CAMERON. whiskers are lux uriant beyond all precedent The name of this unique individual is General Hugh Cameron, and his appearance and history well bear out the assertion that he is the oldest character Kansas has ever known.
 His home is three miles from Law renee, on the Raw river, at what is known as Cameron Bluff, and where he has lived for years known to his neigh bors as scholar, soldier, celibate and vegetarian He was born in Pennsylva- mia about 6S years ago and is relative of the Camerons who have been so prominent in Pennsylvania and national politics for years past. Over 30 years ago, when he was still in the vigor of young manhood, he appeared at Law renee He built a rude cabin, mingled little with his neighbors and lived as a hermit because the girl he loved tilted him on the day set for their nuptials.
 He declared that he would never mar ", and he never has. He swore he would work 20 hours a day, sleep four and eat no meat, and a Kansas newspaper man ayers thathe has faithfully followed this routine He also swore that there would be whiskers on the moon before he would shave his beard or cut his leonine mane, and his pictures furnish prima facie evidence that he has also kept this VOW. He braids his hair and whiskers and coils the braids around his neck. When his whiskers are at large, they tickle the grass as he walks along. When he wants his mule, he uses one of his braids as a lasso, it is said. but | this is without doubt a campaign lie. At the outbreak of the war Cameron was commissioned captain of Company F. Second Kansas cavalry, and served with gallantry throughout the war, leaving the service lieutenant colonel and brevet brigadicr general. He calls himself an independent tramp candidate for congress, nominated by the George Washington corps of home protection ists, and says that in his campaign the golden rule and the decalogue will bC as carefully observed as possible under existing partisan demoralization.

RIVAL WOMAN CANDIDATES.
Mrs. Flower and Mrs. Smith Both Seekin

Mrs. Flower and Mrs. smith Both Seeking
 the Ballots of Illinois Voters.
 One of the most interesting features of the Illinois state campaign is the fact that Mrs. J. NJ. Flower and Dr. Julia Holmes Smith are rival candidates for the office of trustee of the University of Illinois. Mrs. Flower was nominated by the Republican state convention, and her rival was placed in the field by the Democrats. The women of Illinois vote for school officers and hold school of fees, and the probability is that q large vote will be pollcd this year by the fair holders of the limited franchise.
 Mrs. Flower was born in Boston. Her father, Samuel E. Coves, was an inti- mate friend of Franklin Pierce, and when Pierce was president lived ill Washington. She was educated at Portsmouth. N. H., and at Eassar Col.

 BENNINGToN, Aug. 7.-At the time of the Revolution the rcgion now the stato of Vermont was No Mans Land" It had been claimed with the flercest colonial wrangling by New York and New Hamp- shire under conflicting royal charters. The English kings from Charles I down to George II set their seals to grants in the new world in the most rccklcss and con tradictory fashion, and the royal governors were scarcely less unprincipled. Under the confusion of conflicting claims swarms of spcculators came in from the colony of New York and attempted to oust holders under the New Hampshire grants. This was resisted hy the "Grcen mountain boys, " and society for 10 years before the Revolution was in n state of chaos. It was n Roland for m Oliver" and inno- cent grantCcs from New York were treated In similar fashion by land spcculators who claimed under New Hampshire authority. When the muuntainCCrs found New York surveyors, they toulS their chains and com passes and drove them of. If tho intrud- ers returned, these New England rcgu- lators applied tho beech seal " or as they otherwise put it, Chnstiscd them with 'twigs of the wilderness" These warn lngs werc diversified with various gro tesque but no less disagrccablc inllictions. It was in such n state of social anarchy that moro than one who became Rcvolu- tionary worthiCs got nodded and stamped, such men as Ethan Allen, whose fierce in vocation at tho storming of Ticondcruga, Tn the name of Jehovah and the conti mental congress, has become n historic cpl gram, and John Stark, the rough and ready commander of the Americans at the battle of Bennington.
