Comisky, last years captain of the Gin
cinnati team, and who also captained
the famous st. Louis Browns" during
their eventful career in the American
association, will play with and captain
one of the teams of the western league
this season. Cincinnati has secured a
lot of young players from the western
league who are being tried for places
this spring.
In st. Louis the baseball cranks are
howl;ng with joy over the acquisition
/ Of Center Fielder Tom Brown. who has
been secured from the Louisville team.
He was once ranked as the fastest base
! rrnner in the league, and is still
thought to be phenomenal in this line.
He will play in the outfield for Cincin-
natl during 1895. st. Louis has also ex-
changed Pitcher Hawley for Pitcher
Ehret, Of Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh root
ers are glad to secure the services of
Hawley. for they believe him to be a
really remarkable twirler. as do MANY
of those in the east. Last fall Hawlev
pitched for st. Louis in the last series
of games against the Boston team, and
by his fine work in beating the Beam
eaters three straight games materially
aided New York to win second place in
the race for the league championship
pennant.
There have been a number of changes
in the playing rules this year. most of
which seem to be aimed at the better
enforcement Of the present laws rather
than new ones. The umpires will be
governed by much more stringent rules
than heretofore, and viii be subject to
fine, Just as the players are Another
feature viii be that the management
of the teams will not be allowed TO nay
the fines of their players. All have
agreed not 10 do this, and the men
Aed must pay out Of their own mosev.
This viii reduce the kicking and other
boisterous work of the unruly players
somewhat by their fear OF loss finan-
rally. Noisy coaching, swearing and
talking back TO the umpires viii be Sc
verely treated this summer.
As 10 other changes. perhaps the
most important is that which declares
tiat foul TIP caught within ten teet
OF the plate viii be counted as a strike
this year. No players other than the
catcher and first baseman will he
allowed to wear big mits, and only
small gloves viii be allowed 10 other
felGers and baSemen. Owing to the
confusion on the question OF base run
ming on short fly hits. the umpires this
year VIII call out At once on each fv
ball when two men are on bases and
there = not more than one out. whether
the ball i an i2fieid or an outtield hit.
On the former the base-runnerS cannot
be forced out, and ON the latter tney
e4u; hence the confusion in deciding.

TO AN AGED CHIEF
A Costly Monument to Be Erected
to His Memory.
1t Il the Old Indians Own Idea and VIII
Cost . Thousand Dollars - To He OF
Unique Design. Cut from
Vermont Marble.

The erection of a costly monument
In memory of an American Indian is
an odd thing, but when the particular
Indian to be thus remembered is still
alive, it make the matter all the more
unique.
a marble monument will soon adorn
the last resting place of Indian Chief
kahshalcs at Cape Fox, in Alaska.
typifying the tribe and its chief. Chief
Kahshakes is still alive, and though a
very old man is not likely, by reason
of good health. to be memorialized by
the creation of his own fancies. The
chief has had this object in view for
many years. and saved for that purpose.
He designed the monument, had one of
his own men carve out a two-foOt model
covering his allegorical creation, and
then sent the model to a well-known
sculptor, Mr.. a. C. Thompson, who has
completed the work.
The monument, which cost Chief
Kahshakes over 81 900, is of pure white
Vermont marble, and although the
sculptor was constrained to follow the
design as regards an uncouth figure of
q beaver, he succeeded in giving to the
shaft. the eyrie and the eagle an artistic
touch that reflects great credit on his
ability as sculptor, and which will no
doubt greatly please the old chief when
he sees it. The chiefs idea of his monu-
ment was pillar resting on the back
of a beaver, with an eagle on its nest,
surmounting the column.
Kahshakes' monument is an allegori-
cal representation of himself and his
tribe. The beaver symbolizes indus
try, the characteristic of the tribe; the
shaft the tribe itself, planted firmly on
the rock of industry; the eyrie is the
chiefs home, supported and protected
by the tribe, and the eagle about to
take his last flight represents Kahsha-
kes at his death winginR his way to-
ward the setting sun to join his fore
fathers in the happy hunting grounds
of the spirit land. This allegory, still
further carried out by the rude poetic
mind of the untutored Indian, is to the
effect that though the nest shall be-

All agree that the prospects for good
ball, large profits and extended public
interest were never brighter, end the
bounded enthusiasm. Of course each
city has its ''rooters." and all are
equally confident of the ultimate vic.
tory of their favorite teams. but the
league race is yet TO be run, and all
predictions are necessarily hazardous.

This unique monument, complete,
with a stone base under the beaver
when set up, will have a total height
of nine feet. The beaver on which the
shaft rests is three and one-half feet
long; the shaft of the eyrie is five feet
in height. The eagle in tho crouching
attitude of flying away from the nest
is fifty-two inches from tip to tip, and
thirty-six inches from bill TO tail. The
general effect of the whole monument,
though considerably modernized by the
skill of Mr.. Thompson. yet possesses
many of the characteristics peculiar to
the Alaska Indians.
The Indian tribe, of which old Kah-
shakes is the chief, is at Cape Fox, near
New Metlakahtla, and comprises about
1000 of the best and the most intelh-
gent of all the Indians that make up
Duncan's missionary post In Alaska.
The Indians at Cape Fox are remnants
of the ancient Chilkats.
In character these Indians are q
strange composition-unemotional, mo-
rose, unsympathetic, superstitious,
without the slightest idea of gratitude,
and having an astonishing respect for
the property of others When on q
trading journey, or out hunting, they
will leave their belongings hanging on
bushes all along the trail; and snow
shoes, sometimes a musket, blankets, q
leg of smoked bear, n dried salmon.
are frequently noticed along an Indian
path.
These Indians in the old DAYS dressed
IN skins, and had garments pictur-
esqucly fringed and tasseled. and
beaded and woven in with stained
swanquills. They wore bracelets OF
copper and carried copper spears,
knives and arrows. In those days no
