MODERATOR SELECTED.


Editor Mutchmore VIII Preside Over the
Presbyterian General Assembly.
SARATOGA. May 1S.-The first days ses-
sion of the Presbyterian general assembly
usually arouses particular interest because
on that day the sermon of the retiring
moderator in delivered. and u presiding
officer for the ensuing year is elected. The
former is of interest to many because of
the opportunity offered to the speaker to
touch upon some of the burning questions
of the hour, and the latter because it some
per of the body.
In the case of the sermon yesterday ad-
vantage was taken of the opportunities of
fered, and many of those in attendance at
the assembly are openly criticsing the
moderator in that he gave particular at
tention in his discourse to Il matter that
is to come before the body on an appeal in
judicial case.
The election of moderator did not turn
on grounds of the orthodox or liberal tend
encies of the candidates. 1t was declared of
each candidate that he was Sound in the
faith" and in this was indicated the gen.
eral temper of the assembly
The successful candidate, Or. Samuel A.
Mutchmore, editor of The Presbyterian of
Philadelphia, was looked upon from the
first as the leading candidate. DIR. Arthur
j Brown was the home missionary candi-
date, but was probably hampered to some
extent by the fact that he had been the
pupil of Professor Smith, whose case is to
be considered later. The candidacy of DR..
Dinsmore Of California and If DR.. Gardner
of New York was outgrOWth of local
pride. There was EA"ral candidate
nominated, and such q one, it is said,
would have had no C!iaHc" of election.

Prizes For Football Kicking.

The prizes which are to be presented to tn.
candidates at Yale this spring for those who
make the best showing in the series of foot
ball kicking contests have been received al
Yale. There will be first and second prizes
given in each linc-drop kicking, puntin2
and place kicking. All the prizes consist
of silver loving cups, gold lined. Those
that will be given to the players for first
place will have on one side a player en-
graved on it in the act of kicking, and OF
the other the name of the association ant
the event for which the prize is given, be
sides a place to be set aside for the winners
name, says the New York Sun. Tho ones
for second prize are of a smaller and a diff
ferent form, with the name of the asSOcia
ton, event and a place for the winners
name on one side. The cups are said to b,
extremely handsome, and any o,:c in col
lege who has the least ability in this lin,
would do well to try for one.

HUYLER WESTERVELT.

and, as the Clevelands have had much
''easier" opponents in their April and May
games than they will meet on their June
trip east of the Alleghanies, it would be
well for their friends to wait till about
July 4 before they attempt to say just
what the team is going to do.
But to return to the pitching department
Of the League Where the Cevelands are
strong the Bostons are weak. The cham
pions have one good pitcher. Nichols, l
think, is doing the best work of any man
in the League. His winter trip to the Pa,
cific coast did him world of good With
Nichols in the nine it is almost a certainty
that the Bostons win. But the other pitch
ers of the team are very 'tacky." Stivetts
seems to have lost his once famous speed
and is being hit hard. Stalcy is an unsuc
cessful man, and l doubt whether he will
pitch good ball any time this season. Low
EFT is an experiment and is pitching Oil
probation.
In Pittsburg Eillen is roundingup, Gum.
bert pitches lin and out" and Ehret docs
very good work. The rest of their talent is
suppositional. Knell and Terry were sc
rank that both were released. Unless the
Pirates pitching department strengthens
and spreads out very soon the club will not
be in the race long
If the PhilHdelphias had the Cleveland
pitchers, the race would be u mere cantel
for them. Outside of their pitching they
compose the strongest team in the country
and the heaviest hitting nine since the De,
troits of 1887 But the Phillies never win
by small scores. They have to bat out ev.
erything they get. It will be mighty inter.
esting to watch the results when the Cleve-
lands meet the Quakers in Philadelphia on
June 7, s and O.
The Baltimores are at this time well fixed
for pitchers. McMahon and Mullane are
doing championship work, and Brown. theil
new pitcher, has shown we'll in the few
games he has played. This snappy, agrees
i've team is attracting wide attention by the
way they have been holding on to q one
two, three place in the race. The pace is
too hot for them, however, and they will
surely fall back as the season progresses
They may end fifth, but hardly better.
New Gork's pitching department prom
lses to be the best in the League, barring
Cleveland's, before the year is far advanced
For the Srst time in his career Rusie has
come to his work almost at the start. His
twirling at this time is as good as it was
any time last year, and when the hot
weather thaws him out for his best he will
have no peer in his position. Meekin has
already shown that the money paid for his
release, together with Farrell's, was not il.
expended. All he has needed was gooG
winning team to back him up.
German is late getting into form, owing
to Il spring attack of grip, which left him
somewhat weak. AS the club has no hur
ried use for him, Captsin Ward is leaving
him out of harness to get in good trim
Everybody knows what German can do
He is winning pitcher. In Clarke, the
champion pitcher of last years Eastern
league, Che club has u good man for whom
they have no active use. He is held wholly |
IN reserve.

Things Women Want to KNOW.

French coats fall open in such easy
and graceful fashion this season that
they are called jackets to distinguish
them from the closely fitted coats of
last year.
The bolero is the name given several
short jackets that are a feature of French
dresses and promise to be as popular as
the Elton jacket of last year.
Black or blue serge makes an excel
lent dress for hard usage.
Tailors will continue to make long
coats, as many women Of fashion object
to short jackets even for warm weather.
The shirt waists made by tailors are
of cotton cheviots, madras or percale
in very light colors. They are made
with pointed stitched yoke and are gath
cred below the throat and at tho waist
in front and back They have standing
collars or else turned over collars at
tached to high standing band that is
fastened by two buttons.
Checked silks are very fashionable.
MORE silks and ribbons are in great
demand.

THE PRESIDENTS SUMNER HOME.
GRAY Gables and Its Surroundings Have
Been Greatly Improved.

Been Greatly AnpTONeus
Gray Gables, President C1eveland's
summer home at Buzzard's Bay, has
been considerably altered in appearance
since the presidents family left there
last September. An addition containing
practically six new rooms and hallway
has been made to the house, which looks
more imposing than it used to, and plate
glass windows have been substituted for
the old fashioned ones that formerly IRE
vailed. The piazzas have been enlarged
to twice their original depth, and the
number of new gables will make the
pretty name Gray Gables more appro-
pirate than ever when time and weather
shall have stained the new shingles to
match those on the older part of the
house.
On the westerly side Of the house a
new entrance has been made, and hall
runs through to the parlor, with rooms
on each side. At the right, on entering,
is the new private office of the presi
dent, whose windows afford full Wow
of the approaches to the grounds. The

And why? Because by his remarkable
pitching the Boston champions had been

hits from his delivery, two Of which were
scratches" His work had been steady,
and his victory was no "fuke." Even the
opposing champions recognized in him a

He is we'll educated, comes from family

than % or 90 years old. His abilities as
pitcher have been known locally for several
years, as he did successful work for amateur
athletic clubs in the vicinity of New York.
1t was only by much persuasion on the
part of personal friends that he finally
agreed to play professionally.
Of the pitching talent in the other League

reason of this in particular that the two
teams do not win enough to keep out OF

of the Various Clubs.
KID NICHOLS IS now AT THE TOP.

a Prediction That the Baltimores VIII
Finish No Better Than Fiftl-The Great
Work of Cleveland's Trio OF Pitchers.
Westervelt, New Yoris's Rising Star.
The Importance of good pitching was
never more forcibly shown than it is shown
in the National league today. 1t is this in
equality of talent which to great extent
is making the start in the championship
race so lopsided. The Cleveland clubs
twirlers have done by far the best work in
that Nne of the pitchers of the twelve clubs.
1t is case of three pitchers in great form,
each taking his turn in the nine and doing
winning work. Should Young, Clarkson
and Cuppy be able to keep up their present
stride, the Clevelands ought to win the
championship, for the team is evenly bal
anced, is capable of good fielding and need
do very little hitting to win it's games.
Young's success is a matter of course.
His work last year showed him to be en-
titled to rank at the head of the pitching
list. 1t was expected tina he would do
good work right from the fall of the flag"
But the execution done by Clarkson and
Cuppy SO far has been surprising Two
years ago Boston turned Clarkson adrift as
not good enough for them. l wonder what
Boston would give to have him back on the
nine today? For surely he has been pitch
ing this spring as successfully as he ever
did in his best professional days.
Cuppy was not in good health last year,
which he claims was responsible for his
poor work for the club.
There is no doubt whatever that the six
western teams of the National league are
weaker than the six in the eastern division

active part in Republican politics, serv-
ing as a member of the state central
