NEWPORT NEWS ADVANTAGES
This Is undoubtedly the coming city
Of the Old Dominion. A new transatlan-
tic line has just been established be-
tween this city and foreign ports by the
United States Shipping Company, an
evidence that freight can be handled
quickly and ct less expense than at the
older ports. Property values are steadi-
ly increasing. Six months ago the real
estate firm of Powell Bros sold at auc-
ton the residue. about 500 lots. of the
property of the Newport News. Hamp-
ton, and Old Point Development Com
pany. Purchasers of lots generally left
their property in the hands OF Messrs.
Powell Bros for sale at an advance. 4
large percentage of this property has
been resoid for 100 per cent more than
it brought under the hammer. Tho en-
terprising firm of Powell Bros. e King
are making arrangements 20 wind up the
business of the Central Land Company.
Attention is respectfully called to their
advertisement in the auction sale col

Great things wero expected from Wiley

to the public by ingenious inventors some

Among recent discoveries is a very val
liable method Of transmitting tho power
Of tho hands to the pedal crank OF tho BIZ
oyolo which has just been completed. 1t
consists Of a lever pivotod at the head OF the
machine, connecting rod extending
downward therefrom, q rock shaft in the
Franc OF the machine, leaving crank
with which the connecting rod Is joined,
second crank on the rock shaft rod
connecting tho latter with tho pedal crank
OF the machine, handle bnr adapted to
osciilate, and means whereby tho oscillation
OF the handle bar Is caused to alternately
lift and disengoge the pivotpd lover.
This invention will enable the power of
tho arms, which has heretofore been wust-
cd, to be transmitted to tho pedals and aid
in developing speed.

WILEY DAVIS.

staff OF National league umpiros. II Is
much harder to gathor n FIRST class corps
OF nnpires than 1t Is to build up O win
ming bavsball tonnl, and the process Is
pretty much tho same in both cases-it is
netbssary to try q dozen failures to find
ohe SUCCESS.
With the superiority of the staff comes
less OF what Is called homo umpiring.
The new official is too apt to cater TO the
spectators favor, and that will surely lend
to trouble, for, once the rooters discover
an uIapirss anxiety to please them rathor
than to do his duty fearlessly, they will
play upon his weakness until they drive
him out Of the business. a result of this
system OF umpiring on tho merits of each
play Is smaller percentage of victories
for the home club.
In spite of tho new rules to prohibit
promtsouous kicking on the balli1ed the
evil gees on, not to saoh a general extent,
however, because the staff Is moro respect
ed. AS predicted, the umpires will not
take advantage of their power to put play
ers out OF the galne. Only two removals
havo occurred In the first month, and tho
Zines have been remarkably few. There Is
senseless kicking by players and always
VIII DO, bat spectators MS they learn to
place conhdonce in umpires, are becoming
more submissive. and whenever the play
era discover that they cannot work the
crowd they VIII play harder and kick less.
Another rule IL almost dead letter
Coaohers arc prohibited from addressing
their words to any player except base
runner, and then combining their remarks
to words of warning or direction. But
some uEnpires Disregard the rule entirely
Playors take advantage of the liberty to q
telling extent Whenever an opponent Is
met who can BIO "sent up In the air, by
taunsing. Pitcher Hawley is one Of that
kind, and 1t was the constant twittir q
from men On the line which sent him up
like rocket whom tho Washingtons mado
4 runs in one inning, and again whom tho
Now Yorks batted out n victory in tho
tenth inning.
Spectators have no idea of the figure
which badinage among players cuts in the
results of almost every game played.
Pitchers like Dad Clarke, Cuppy, Killen
and MoMahen like to taunt their batsmen.

iy goads tho batsman till his victim loses

CAYL0R'S BALL GOSSIP
a Chapter Devoted Chiefly to
Nick Young's EMPIRES.
THE STAFF is NEARLY PERFECT.

UmpirinE Diminishing Evil-The Rule
Against Chatting Should BE Enforced.
Wiley Davis on the EARN"
Uynpiring in the National league is
about as nearly perfect at this time as 1t
has ever been. 1t does not mean, however,
that perfection has been almost attained
In tho art aby moro than a local revival of
religion means the coming of tho millen-
MUM. Perfect umpirlng Is as impossible
as sinless life. But Nick Young's pres.
emit staff Is, rs a whole, by far tho best,
the most competent, ever got together.
With one or two exceptions, thoy are vot-
erans-men who have served more than
two seasons and have held their positions
Emslie, Hurst, Lynch, Keefo and Sheridan
have boon tried and not found wanting.
Weidman and Henderson have yet to es-
tablish their abilities to stay In that COM
pany. Their task Is all tho harder for the
reason that the work they do will be con
trasted with that OF the seasoned bers
OF the staff and judged accordingly.
Mr.. Young has had an Augean task In
building up his present staff, and 1t was
accomplished only after years of failures
had offset every successful appointment.
Tho death of John McQuaid lii 1894 made
vacancy which was hard to fill, and the
temporary retirement of Lynch last season
was q handicap which was felt throughout
the circuit. Lynch is now back In his old
place, Sheridan of the Western league has
stepped into McQuaid's shoes, and Mr..
Young finally laid aside his prejudice to
Hurst, on account Of tho latter's associu-
ton with glove fighting. and added him
to the staff of seasoned ofIioials.
Theirs are many mistakes made by these
successful umpires, but all are men who,
by seasons Of service, command a certain
amount Of respect from tho players. They
have the courage of their convictions, and,
TO certain extent it is respected AS
soon us the players understand TINT an
umpire cannot be bullied they will become
more submissive to his decisions. That Is

Arrangements to Unite the Silver
Forces in One Grand Phalanx.
fSnecfal to The HeraId.l


BOISE. Idaho, Aug. Ex-senator
Dubois, Congressman Wilson, j. H
Hawley, a prominent Democrat, and
S. H. Hays, ex-chairman of the
Democratic state committee, have
gone to Pocatelo to meet Mr.. John
son, of Kansas, member of the
Democratic national committee,
who was sent to Idaho to arrange
a complete union of silver forces.
The conference will have a most
important political bearing. Demo-
cratic and Populist leaders here are
angry over Dubois appointment by
Jones as a member of his advisory
board and declare the Democratic
Populist fusion ticket will not, as
desired by the national committee,
be hauled down to give place to a
combination ticket put up by silver
Republicans. The national commit
tee, it is claimed by Dubois men
here, will recognize a silver Repub-
lican ticket to the exclusion of all
others. George Ainslie, Idaho mem
Der of the Democratic national
committee, was asked by wire by
Johnson TO meet him in Pocatello.
Ainslie replied he had an office in
Boise and if Johnson wanted to
see him, he would find him there
during business hours.

KIPIING GOES TO ENGLAND.

here and has left town to sail from
New York to England, where he will
make his home for an indefinite period.
Before leaving town he refused to
state how long he would remain abroad
or whether he would ever return to
America to remain permanently.
The reasons given out some time since
for his departure was his relations with
his English publisher required his pres
ence on that side of the water, but the
suddenness with which he determined
on departure after his trouble with
his brother-in-law and the subsequent
appearance in court which he was re-
quired to make has led to the opinion
that family rather than literary cir
cumstances are accountable for his go

GONE TO THE WALL.
An Elevated Railroad Goes Into the
Hands of a Observation-Disclosures
Shoe Company Fails.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Aug. 31.-The
Kings County Elevated Railroad COM
pany, capitalized at 81, 900, went into
the hands Of a receiver this morning.
General James Jourdan, the president
of the company, on the consent of all
parties, was named as receiver. The
cause of the step was the inability of
the company to meet accruing bond
and debenture indebtedness, owing to
the injuries that the trolley cars have
done to their business. Since the troll
ley cars were introduced the receipts
have fallen off over one-half.
General Jourdan, the receiver, says
that the receivership is only temporary
and the company will resume i'm a very
short time and settle all outstanding
obligations promptly.

FRESH AIR ron THE SENATOR'S.
Especial 90 The Herald.)


WASHINGTON. Aug. 31-Putting
the new system of ventilation in the
United States senate chambers is well
advanced The floors of the galleries
and the senate have been removed and
iron and yellow pine rafters, under
which the ventilaiting apparatus is to
be located, have been put in place to
receive the new flooring as soon as the
ventflating pipes have been supplied
The great ventilating pit, commune
eating through an underground passage
with the granite shaft west of the north
wing of the capitol is exposed to view.
1t was over this pit, sixty feet deep
and twice the diameter of an ordinary
well, that Senator Hill sat until he re-
moved to a place on the west end Of
the Democratic side of the chamber.
Refhting the senate with a system of
ventilation will probably be completed
before November 1, but time will be
required in placing the somewhat intr1-
cate apparatus which will convey fresh
air to every seat in the chamber on the
floor and in the galleries.
