what took place century ago as accurate
ly and as well as the events of yesterday.
He still earns his own living by making

NEW BLOOD FOR THE COLTS.
Young Man Named Arson May Be
Secured for Next Year.

chicago news.
a morning contemporary contains an in
terview with one Adrian Constantine An
son on the question of baseball present and
future Mr.. Arson saws many things which
show that he is somewhat interested in the
game and that he has a speaking acquaint-
ance with few of the players.
We do not remember of having heard of
Mr.. Arson before the publication of his in
terview, but it might be well for the per-
sons interested in the Chicago club to bear
Mr.. Arson in mind when making up the
membership of next years team.
1t has been evident in the last few years
that the Chicago club is in need of new
blood. 1t has met with a beautiful series of
defeats year after year. Notwithstanding
this the cl lb shows no signs of discourage
ment but, on the contrary eylnees an men en-
thusiaSm which bespeaks dead-game sport.
In our opinion. the engagement or some
young and talented person as captain
would be of immeasurable dement, TO the
club Youth is necessary in these days of
activity We believe by his interview that
Mr. Arson would be valuable acquisition
r. anv ciuh and particularly to Chicago
He seem to be bright young fellow VINO
would be willing. for nominal consider
alton to take the Colts IN mana ana make
them penant-winners.
II is said Mr.. Arson is not entirely a nov
ice in the national game: he IS a me member r,
uuet Club and has subbed In two match
contests with credit to himself and his fell
lows He is also the corresponding sec
rotary of the Tiddly Winks League and
considered one of the best exDonents of
thai daring game this side of the Rockies.
A. few weeks ago he won distinction in a
heated contest at blinu-mans buff and
could have been elected captain of the
guild If he had consented. Those who have
seen Mr. Arson play ring around -the-rosy
enthusiastically declare that he is the COM
ing champion of that greatest of great
endurance games.
If these be facts. and we have no reason
To deem them otherwise, we are CT the
oninion that Mr.. Arson can't be engaged
too quickly as either a member or captain
of the Chicago Baseball Club. The infusion
of new life into the aggregation of hobos
might be the making OF a good club. While
this is but a suggestion, we hope that Mr.
Arson will be favorably considered by the
club MANAGEMENT.

BROOKS AT RICHMOND.
Tells the Railway Men Why They
Should Vote for Sound Money

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
RICHMOND, Ind, Sept. 20-The most
successful meeting of the campaign in
Richmond, without regard to party, was
held last night at the opera house under
the auspices of the Railway Mems Sound
money Club. The speaker was j. r. Brooks,
vice president of the Pennsylvania. Ten
coach loads of visiting railroad men Were
in the city, four of them coming from
Logansport and six from Bradford O. The
most prominent Republicans in the city
took part in the meeting, $50 of them hav-
ing been appointed vice presidents and
they occupied seats on the stage The
speaker was introduced by Capt. Lee Var
yam. Mr.. Brooks was received with much
applause and he made a very creditable
presentation of the claims OF the advocates
of sound money His speech was well re-
ceived, and he made some telling thrusts
at the Chicago platform. Mr. Brooks closed
with an appeal to all voters not to throw
their votes away but to cast them for the
cause OF sound money. He advises the Pro-
hibitionistS to sacrifice their sentiments on
the temperance question to the great dam
ger of the country and vote for sound
money, and the other party members not
already for sound money to do the same.
Mr. Brooks said he most heartily approved
of the Indianapolis platform and would be
glad TO vote for the men nominated by the
gold Democrats. but, they could not be
elected. he did not wish to throw his vote
away. and would cast it for Major McKin-
lev. This statement was followed by APP
plauSe loud and long
