How They Stand,

The season just ended has not been as
prosperous with professional baseball as
the two or three seasons preceding. This
IS on account of the hard times. 1t is in
evidenced clearly from the fact that fewer
If the minor leagues have pulled through
the entire season. AS far as the Nation
al League is concerned, the attendance
in the aggregate has been smaller than
last year. The conditions of the race
have been responsible for this to large
degree. For instance, the clubs in good
baseball towns like New York. Brooklyn,
Philadelphia and Boston have never been
in it, as far as the championship was con-
cerned, for any length of time; while last
year nine clubs were fighting it out until
near the close of the season.
The business of the Chicago club. said
President Hart. has fallen off both at
home and abroad this season rs compared
with last, the greatest falling off being
in the away-fr0m-hOme games, caused
by tie reasons just stated. The attend
ance at home has been less than last year
because we have had poorer attractions
on holidays, Saturdays and Sundays, and
also because the team was greater num-
ber of games away from the pennant. al
though occupying the same relative posi-
ton in the championship table as last
year.

Larger than n State.

: The largest ranch now running in
the United States is situated in the
{ tate of Wyoming. The dimensions
of this immense farm are of such
mammoth proportions that figures of
it appear almost fabulous and beyond
belief. An idea of its Dimensions may
be gained from the fact that the State
of Rhode Island could be dropped into
the middle OF it. and yet leave u mar
gin OF some twenty miles all around it
and it is stocked with ulw2rd5 OF
100000 ANIMALS of various kinds, in
cluding horses, cattle, sheep, goats,
hogs and haif-bred buffalo. The in

Feline Subject Cor the Kec1cy Cure.

There is cat in Chattanooga that
should take the Kelley cure. He came
to a saloon as kitten and acquired
the habit when thirsty, of drinking the
beer that dropped from the faucet of
the cooler. He did not like it very
well at first, but the habit grew ON him,
and soon all that was there would be
Tapped up, and the cat would then
curl up and sleep off the effects of his
potstions. Finally the bartende:s
would draw saucers of beer for him
and the cat would staggcr about the
room unmistakably drunk. Occasion
ally he will go on sprees, and for days
together it seems as though he could
not get enough. After taking a zig
zig course over the house he will curl
up and go into drunken stupor for
hours. No signs of deliriuin tremens
have been seen yet, but considerable
curiosity is manifested by habitues OF
the place as to how long he can keep
up his present rather rapid pace.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat.

'Gfty-cent dollar and the deposits in

No Hannaite orator or newspaper has
yet explained how coin with value

ate or duly stamped silver coin, the

Recently Boston new bureau, con-
trolled by gold fanatics. sent out for
publication in the Mckinley press Il
statement that since the Chicago nOmi-
nation, deposits to the aggregated
amount of six millions of dollars had
been drawn out Of savings banks in

conclusion being emphasized by the

EIGHT DIFFERENT TICKETS.

Multiplicity of Presidential Nominal

Says Washington correspondent:
There are now eight presidential tickets
in the field. Some of the tickets are du-
| piications. Nevertheless they were nom
mated by separate national conventions,
! duly called, and in some States, as, for
instance. in Ohio and Illinois, where
State legislation controls the method of
| printing the tickets for presidential cleo
tors, this multiplicity of tickets is likely
to cause confusion. In the order of their
nomination the tickets are as follows:

In Pittsburg, the same authority
states the contributions at $4,000,
raised in one week from the moneyed
Institutions. Every railroad has been
put under tribute. All the gigantic
trusts. combinations and syndicates
have been assessed and have respond
ed. The State of Pennsylvania has fur
nished or will furnish to the Hanna
bossed party at least one million of dol
lars towards the election of Mckinley!
The danger is that the presidency
may be not fairly voted, but foully
bought with money. But we believe
that our people will resist temptation

1t is stated that the visits of work

exceeding five hundred thousand dol

In some large factory announcement
is made that on such a day special
train will leave that place for Canton
to visit the Republican Presidential
candidate. and all voters who desire
to accompany the expedition are in

a meeting is held and each workman
willing to go is charged half Il dollar
