THE WHEELING CLUB.

CAPTAIN Jack Darrah came down
from Steubenville yesterday morning.
He has not yet closed with the owner
Of the park in that city for practice
work by the local players. and it is by
no means certain that he will. He has
been offered the use of the Toronto
grounds. an enclosed park, free OF
charge. and has also been offered the
Twin City grounds. In the event that
.ither OF these offers is accepted, it is
likely that a number of exhibition
yames will be arranged.

Tebeau apparently thinks his Cleve-
land farm at Fort Wayne has cinch
on the Interstate pennant. He has
condescended 70 write 10 Wheeling,
offering the local club the services of
three players who are not good enough
for Fort Wayne. It's dollars 10 dough-
nuts that Tebeau will start out with a
great flourish. claiming everything in
sight, and the same odds go that he
will be offering excuses before the In
terstate season is four weeks old.
Wheeling has no need of cast-off Fort
Wayne players.

Mr.. Charles BOsley has been elected
secretary of the local club. and will

attend to the playing end.
II is more than likely that Al. Wag-
ner and Barrett will wear Wheeling
uniforms during the season. Bucken-
berger has agreed 10 let them come 10
Wheeling, with the understanding that
they will not be called back to Toronto
unless Pittsburg demands Stuart or
Padden. The local management sent
4 telegram to Pittsburg last night &C
cepting the two players. AL Wagner
will be placed on third base. and Shaw
will do backstop work. Shaw can
throw like a shot. but he is a trihe un-
steady at times. This he will overcome
by practice.

Wages in 1900.

What we call the 'workingman, y
''the mechanic,' had no existence as
classes. Labor was performed almost ex-
cluoively in the South by slaves, and in
the North very largely by men and women
who for the time being were no better
than slaves. All over the free States were
thousands of lrishmen, Scntchmen, Eng
Hshmen, Germans, who, in return for
transportation from the Old World to the
New, had bound themselves by indenture
to serve the captain of the ship that
brought them over. S Jldiers in the army re-
ceived three dollars month. Farm hands
in New England were given four dollars
month and found their own clothes. I'm
skilled laborers toiled twelve hours per dav
Tor fifty cents. Workmen on the tulnpikes
than branching out in every direction were
housed in rude sheds, fed coarse food and
given four dollars per month from No
vember to May, and six dollars from May
to November. When the road from the
Genesee River to Buffalo was under con-
struction, in 1872, though the region
through which it went was the frontier.
men were hired in plenty for twelve-dol-
lars per month in cash, and their board,
lodgings, and daily allowance of whis-
key. John B. McMaster in January

She Had been Given Up,
Sarah e, Palmer TOwed Into Portland Badly
Crippled.

PORTLAND. Dec. %. The overdue
schooner Sarah E. Palmer, supposed to
have been lost, was sighted off the coast
this morning in badly crippled condi-
ton. The revenue cutter Woodbury. and
two tugs went to her assistance and tow
ed her in. Her bowsprit was taken short
off, her jibboom and foretopmast were
gone, and her sails rent or carried away.
She left Louisburg, Dec. Is, for Port
land, with 1900 tons of coal, this, of
course, brought her well down. She
struck gale when off the La Have banks
and was forced to heave to for SO hours.
The wind was blowing with hurricane
force, and there was binding snowstorm
that made it almost impossible to see
ahead. The violence of the gale made it
difficult to move, and the sea was con-
stantly breaking over her. The decks
were swept clean of everything movable.
The boats were smashed, the bowsprit,
jibboom and foretopmast were carried
away, and the sails blown Oft or blown to
pieces.
No one on board expected that, loaded
as she was, she could ride out such fear
full gale, but the morning found her still
holding on and the storm began to lessen.
With great difficulty they rounded Cape
rble gale. She ran before it for awhile,
but when off Mt Desert they We're forced
to again heave to- and the already crippled
and badly strained schooner was again
swept by the waves.
To add to the discomfort it was very
cold, ice made rapidly as soon as the
wind began to go down, and the men
were forced to cut it away.
But after the second gale went down
and they again attempted to reach this
port, their troubles were not over. When
50 miles off this coast she was becalmed
and the men were forced to keep constant
ly at work cutting ice, She was in dan
gerous position, being almost helpless
and exposed to very heavy sea.
When the tugs reached her, even when
reinforced by the revenue cutter, it was
only after repeated efforts and with great
difficulty that she was brought in.
She had been practically given up, and
the news of her safe arrival spread rapid
ly.

The January Arena is the most inter
esting number that has appeared in many
months. 1t is of special interest to legis-
latlve bodies, physicians and lawyers on &C
count of the article on ga Court of Medi-
cine and Surgery" written by A. B.
Choate, the prominent lawyer, at the le-
quest of leading physicians Mr.. Choate
intends to inaugurate movement which it
is believed by some of the ablest lawyers
and physicians will be of vital importance
to medicine and surgery as we'll as to the
public, as was the movement that resulted
in the establishment of trial by jury to the
public and to the legal profession. This
is the opening shot of campaign that
will be waged from The Arena s pages by
leading physicians, surgeons, and jur:sts in
the near future, and that will be carried
before the legislature in Minnesota and

Inc prison inspectors in speaking of the
several county jails have the following to
say:
Portland Jail has been quite full during
the latter part OF the year, having on Nov.
30, 1872 prisoners. Some complaint has
been made about the food, and while it is,
on investigation, found not to be of the
kind served by the leading hotels, it is Of
wholesome quality and of sufficient guam
tity.
Too much liberty has been given the
prisoners in the corridors of the York
county jail, resulting in poor discipline,
with frequent attempts to escape We
trust IN the near futere this evil will be
remedied.
