1T WAS A GREAT JOKE.
Adventures Yesterday of Burnhan
the Laughing Umpire.

Adventures Yesterday of Burnham,
the Laughing Umpire.
From the Baltimore American.
Burnham, the umpire, smiled. He did
more. He laughed outright. 1t Is the first
laughing umpire in this world of curios,
and Burnham has a first mortgage as a
museum freak. To think of Burnham liv
ing in the same hotel with Capt. Arson
and laughing heartily within the hearing
of the old man himself, especially when
the veteran is singing under successive de-
feats. Yet those are just the things that
Burnham did at the Carrollton Hotel last
night. The spirit that could go through a
league game and laugh all the time. as
though it were the best joke in the world,
is not to be tanned by five minutes talk
even with your Uncle Nick Young, or to
tremble under the castigation of even so
mighty veteran as Arson. And so last
night Burnham laughed all the time as he
told of his adventures of yesterday. When
Durham came to the hotel desk yesterday
morning he found an ominous telegram
from President Young, ordering his at
tendance on the august presence at once.
When Burnham faced President Young,
shortly before l yesterday afternoon, the
umpire thought it the best joke in the
world, and his face was illuminated by
glorious smile, and when Young spoke of
the need of harmony, and told of Anson's
objection to him, and suggested gently that
Durham umpire in Washington yester-
day. and get O'Day to come here Burn
ham could hardly contain himself from
laughing, and told his venera BILE uncle that
he working for him, and would Just
as leave umpire here in Halifax, or at
any other place where the temperature Is
nearly right
And when a liveried footman came in to
announce that O'Day could not be found
at his hotel to notify to come here to UNI
pre-, Burnham thought it still better
joke, and when he and O'Day lodged each
other all over the capital streets, and 1t
all ended in both showing up at the same
time at the Washington ball grounds
Durham was all but beside himself with
tnirth, as he saw before him a day off, free
from all restraint on his good humor He
Just reveled in 1t, and, while driving about
Washington and eating good suppers never
gave thought to Arson and his troubles
Bannon's Suspension Removed
Thomas Bannon, the outfielder loaned
by New York to Scranton was suspended
last week for abusing Manager Barnie.
Bannon has since apologized to Manager
Barnie for the language ne used last week.
Mr.. Barnie accepted the apology, and re-
moved the suspension, which allows Ban
non to play ball again according as he
may return to New York. Mr. Barnle
would not keep him on the team Carbon
dale is raising a hue and cry because the
suspension is not lifted against Pitcher
Luby whom they want. Mr.. Barnie said
the directors feel that Luby struck base
ball bad blow. and that they would be
stultifying themselves if the suspension
were lifted.

The Coming Elections.
In this connection a prominent citizen Of
Alexandria country writes to The Star:
You seem to have begun a crusade against
the lawlessness and disorder in Alexandria
county, Va, and wish for your effort the
greatest success.
In connection with this matter is 1t not
well to invite public attention to the cleo
lions for county officers to be held on the
sd of May next, and aid the cause of the
reform candidates by urging all citizens
of the county to vote for them on election
day?
One of the most important offices to be
filled at this election is commemorative
attorney. 1t is understood in the county
that R. w. johnson, who now holds this
office, will be a candidate for reelection.
The conduct of his office during his pres
ent term has been farcical in the extreme
and his reelection for the term of four
years from July l next will nullify any
reform effort in this century!
There is, however, a candidate in the field
whose election will mean a new order of
things for Alexandria county. He is a
practicing attorney of the county and Of
the District of Columbia, and is known by
all as a man of the highest character, in
tegrity and ability. I refer to Mr.. VIM. w.

ton"
