Temple cup series being played off in the
East because there would be more money
in it for the players is bosh. We can
pack tho grounds in Cleveland and charge
81 and 90 cents admission, and the
crowd will come in droves. Baseball has
been at low ebb in Cleveland during the
greater part of the year, but the magnifi-
cent work of the Spiders during the past
two months has aroused the most intense
enthusiasm. If Baltimore and Cleve-

they played in New York or Philadelphia.

DREAMED OF WEALTH


Rookland, Sept. "a A special dispatch
from Vinalhaven tells of queer happen
ing in that town. A short time ago Mrs.
Fred Snow had an unusually vivid dream
in which it appeared TO her that there was
large sum of money secretcd about the
house The idea seemed so improbable
that beyond passing the story round among
her ncighbors, nothing was ever done
about it.
Recently her husband decided that re
pairs and Improvements would have to be
made about the homestead before winter
set In, and work consequently began a
few days ago Yesterday, while removing
a portion of one Of the walls which had
begun to fall away, one OF the workmen
struck hammer against something soiiu
which fell out on to the floor with u
metallic sound,
The astonished carpenter found it to be
quite large bag which, upon being un-
tied, revealed quantity Of silver coins
Without stopping to count them he called
Mrs Snow, who sugg stcd that they look
to see if there Were more.
The search resulted in bringing to light
two similar bags. each of which contained
about n quart of coins. Some bore as re-
cent date as 1850, and the majority is
older, but there Is absolutely no clue to
how they came there.
1t Is understood that the three bags con-
taincl upwards Of $1,000 The money, of
course falls to the fortunate owner of the
dwelling.

GREEkHAlGE THE MAN.
Overwhelming Sentiment in His Favor Amono
Massachusetts Republicans.

Boston, Sept. 24.-Reports from Repub-
lican caucuses held in various cities and
towns of the state tonight SO far as re-
ceived show an overwhelming sentiment
in favor Of the RECONCILIATION of Gov.
Greenhalge for Governor. In large ma
Jority of cases the delegates were Instructed
to vote for him. Many delegates to the
state convention, who are uninstructed, ore
well known to favor his denomination.
A footing made about midnight, by no
means complete, in fact many caucuses
do not occur till tomorrow night gives
100 delegates pledged for Grcenbalge, 40
unpledged in doubt, and for Elijah A.
Morse In the sixth congressional district,
where delegates are to be elected to a con-
vention to nominate a successor to the late
Congress- Cogswell, William H. Moody,
thus far, is far in the lead. Reports from
the district say that the friends of Candi-
date George seem to be demoralized
Moody men claim Haverhill, and New
bUryport will, tomorrow night, surely
send delegates enough to nominate him
without doubt.
In the caucuses SO far reported, the A.
2. y. cut no very important figure In
Salem and Concord. where the organiza-
ton is reputed to have considerable
strength, its candidates We're defeated. In
several places where it was thought that
the organization would make fight, no
indication of its existence was manifested.

SCHOONER ERNEST r. LEE
Badly Damaged by Collision With an
Unknown Schooner.

New London. CT, Sept "a The schooner
Ernest Il. Lee. Rawding master, Iimped
in here this afternoon, badly damaged in
a collision with an unknown schooner at
l15, this morning, off Watch Hill. The
Lee was bound from New York to East
port, Me.
Captain Rawding said the weather was
clear, when the collision occurred. with a
fresh breeze from the north. When five
miles off Watch Hill, light bearing north
west, an unknown light schooner without
starboard light burning, bore down upon
them, coming SO close before it was seen,
that a collision was inevitable. 1t struck
the Lee on the starboard bow, cutting the
schooner to the waters edge, and starting
the foreoastle deck, carrying away the rail
and one jib. Another jib was badly torn.
The Lee was patched with canvas to get
in here.
1t is probable that the unknown
sohooner's jibboom struck the Lees fore
mast or it would have sunk the latter.
The Lee is owned by G. W. Lord and
Others of Calais, and in New York and
Portland. The vessel will await orders
here.

able adipose and had got no younger, she
is about to emerge from her self imposed
observation as the exponent of the princi-
pal female character in r. A. Barnct's ox-
trayaganza, Excelsior, Jr., y with which
Oscar Hammerstcin will inaugurate his
handsome Olympia in New York this fall.
Miss Templeton will not, contrary to the
general idea, offend the aesthetic by undue
plumpness. BY the terms of her contract
with Edward +. Rice, it is said, she is re-
CURED to keep her weight down to $50
pounds, and, according to those who should
know, she is now far below the limit. The
portrait given herewith would seem to
bear out that statement, as it is made from
d recent photograph and shows her as she
will appear in Excelsior, Jr"
In reality Fay Templeton is not remark
ably brilliant or aggressiyely commonplace
as an actress. But she was at the outset
of her career exceedingly vivacious and
dainty. Both of these qualities necessarily
gave way before the march of avoirdupois
and Miss Fay was then Just about the
same as thousands of other women of the
stage.
Now she is really very pretty again, and
as the role assigned to her is said to fit her
as well as the proyerbial glove she should
shine to advantage in Barnet latest full
mination. That is certainly her managers
expectation at any rate, for she is being
largely and very skillfully doomed.

The agents OF the Russian secret service

in Russia can tell whether member of

secret service. This fact brings us back to
the special significance of the situation

in Russia to a certain degree the conf
