 The Mexican Herald of the City Of Mexico comes out against the pro posed missionary crusade against the Virgin Of Guadalupe, saying that, as the American and English Protestants are enjoying the hospitality of the country, it is manifestly improper to criticize the cherished beliefs of the masses of the Mexican people. It was reported last Tuesday that the Amer ican Minister had succeeded in dis suading the missionaries from their contemplated action.
 The superintendent of the custom house in the port of Lower California called La Ensenada de Todos Santos ordered the custom house inspector of the district of San Quintin to go with a searcher to q neighboring ranch where resided a smuggler who had been denounced to the judge of San Quintin. The judge accompanied them, and before they got to the ranch, hot discussion arose between the three men. The inspector and the judge accused the searcher of try ing to give an alarm to the smuggler. Each one drew his pistol, and fired, both the inspector and searchcr being shot dead. The judge of san Quintin then surrendered himself to the au- thorlties.
 The American Minister to Mexico, Mir. Ransom, and Consul Crittenden have requested the Protestant mis- sionaries to not issue daily paper at tacking the adoratiOn of the Virgin of Guadalupe, it having been the inten- tion Of the missionaries tO circulate a paper broadcast during the coming coronation of the virgin festivities. The United States authorities at the Mexican capital fear a popular out break against missionaries and say that in such event the United States government would be placed in an awkward position, as missionaries would be guilty of having aroused the popular passions against themselves. Missionaries have been receiving an- onymous letters threatening them with death.

Wrenn and Chase Had "A Picnic With
Their Opponents.

NARRAGANsErT PIER, X. l., Aug. IA
Play was resumed IN the tennis tourna-
ment for the Eastern championships
this morning, at II o'clock, with Saumel
b. Neel, umpire, i'm the Wrenn and
Chase VS.. Parte and Fischer match, while
his brother officlated in the same capacity
in the Budlong and Talmage VS.. How
land and Foote match.
Wrenn and Chase started in their match
by making the first score love game
and won 6-2. The second set opened with
better playing by Paret and his partner
and they scored often on adversary's
errors. The set closed, however, with
four straight games by Wrenn and Chase,
who won 6-2. In the last set, every
thing went the way OF the CHAMPION and
his partner and the match closed with a
love set for Wrenn and Chase.
The Rowland and Foote VS.. Budlong
and Talmage match was certainly the
best tennis thus far in the tournament.
Both Rowland and his partner were in
fine form and played steady game.
Budlong was putting up good tennis,
too, but Talmage was apparently out
classed. The first set was the most stub

SOMETHING ABOUT WHIST
How 1t Was Played at 8uttonwood's
Last Evening.
A Choice Assortment of Prizes for
Wondering Winners.

They played whist at Buttonwoods last
night. Something like 81 ladies and
gentlemen, gathered at the hotel and
hung bags of beans about their necks
and settled down to business 1t was
hot outside, but that didn't matter.
Some Of the ladies wore hot weather
dresses, with automatic breeze distribut-
ing devices SO attached that each gentle
zephyr that CHANGED to stray into the
hotel was magnified and made to do the
work OF 70 distinct and successive zephyrs
by its constant reverberations as it played
at hide-and-seek with itself in the en-
deavors to get away. Some of the ladies
didn't have this kind OF dress, but they
kept cool just the same. Anyway, they
played whist, and the girl that trumped
her partners ace on the first time around
was just as happy as the girl that didn't.
When the game was over and the prizes
were distributed, there was lots OF fun.
There are lots OF incongruities in this
life, and these prizes cnly confirmed il.
For instance, J. B. Sweet, Jr., one OF
the most popular young men on the
grounds who doesn't care a rap for whist
and who only plays as a matter OF accom-
mediation to help others out, took the
first gentlemen prize OF duplicate whist
set. III anybody wants TO practice dupli-
cate whist, no doubt "Jed" would be
glad TO loan the set.
hasn't any hair on the top of his head,
he came in for couple of hair brushes
as the second prize. At the present time
he hasn't work enough even for a brush
that has lost as much hair as himself,
and If someone will come along with
bottle of something that will make moss
grow on stone or put new hide on a
tin trunk, no doubt he would be glad to
exchange one brush for a sample bottle.
Then Mr.. Frank Pearce, the owner of the
fin-keel 20-rater, Defender ii, walked up
TO the platform and was duly presented
a gold-headed cane as his share OF
the spoils. Now MIR. Pearce doesn't need a
cane. He isn't lame, either physically,
mentally, morally or spiritually, but he
does need a new hollow gaff for Defender
III, and IL anybody has such a thing, no
doubt he would be glad TO swap his
cane for the hollow gaff for the balance
of the season. OF the ladies prizes little
can be said. Like the rest of his newspaper
colleagues, the writer is very diflident in
the presence of ladies, and only gazed at
these mementoes OF science and skill
from n long way OF. Miss Mamie Sweet
carried away the honors of tho leading
lady in the shape OF a Dresden china
clock, while Mrs. Carpenter will wear a
new gold hat pin at the theater this
winter, and Miss Hamilton at her after
noon "whists,' will no doubt explain to
her guests that the table upon which
they are playing was the prize which her
skill brought TO her at Buttonwoods,

five YEARS..
Ex-Treasurer TayIor's Sen
tence at Hard Labor.

PIERRE, 8. D., Aug. IA. - Ex-State
Treasurer W. W. Taylor, who defaulted
last January, was called by Judge Gaffy
in court today and bad nothing to say.
The Judge gave him the limit Of the law,
FIVE years at hard labor at Sioux City
Penitentiary.
The court room was crowded to hear
judgment pronounced on the defaulting
ex-State Treasurer. When asked IL he had
anything TO say why sentence should not
be pronounced on him, Taylor in a low
voice replied: 81 have not. Z"
Judge Duffy then reviewed the case and
the different statutes bearing upon the
crime. He considered the much discussed
section, 1865, void, and did not believe that
two years sentence was intended to cover
such case as this. He considered that
Talyor's worgt crime was in attempting TO
force a compromise after gathering to-
gether all State funds he could lay his
hands on. A sentence OF five years at
hard labor was then pronounced.

A Prisoner Jumped From the
Big Steamer.
Thrilling Experience Of Police De-
tectiye al Newport Last Night.
No One Knows Whether tho Man Es-
capped or Was Drowned.

NEW YORK, Aug. a. Detective Ser
geant Lawrence Delehanty Of Brooklyn,
who went to Boston TO get the two men
supposed to be the thieves who enticed
Dr. Drury into a vacant house, beat him
and robbed him, got back home this
morning, but brought only one prisoner
with him.
The other man made his escape by
jumping off the Fall River line boat
Puritan. " Whether he was drowned or
swan out, or whether he intended TO
escape or commit suicide, only the man
himself can tell.
The man who got away was Edward
Warren Ball, 80 years old, who lived with
his father at Wood Haven, L. /. The
place at $3.50 last night. The. Puritan
was pulling into Newport. There was a
very dense fog. Delehanty says the
Puritan struck something. The cry
collision went up from the passengers.
The excitement was intense. Delehanty
was knocked back and Ball pitched for
ward. The shock broke his grip on
Balls arm.
He still held on to Ryls. Ball, however,
seeing his chance darted through the
crowd.
Delehanty tried to follow, dragging
Ryls along. But Ball was too swift.
Delehanty saw him as he turned at the
foot of the stairs toward the main deck.
From that point all trace was lost.
Delehanty hastened to the gangway, got
the officers of the ship to watch il, and
then locked Ryls in the stateroom. All
night he kept up the search, but Ball
could not be found. The Puritan, after
the impact, came to a stop. After the
fog lifted the officers learned the ship
had struck a rock. II Ball got off the
ship on that side, he probably had an
