about half finished Ny experience CT years
has taught me that no storm. however
threatening In its approach, has ever been
able to put a baseball audience TO rout
before it broke, and even then spectators
on the open stands do nothing but seek
shelter elsewhere. Had a game been in
progress at Sportsmen's park many would
doubtless have been killed or injured, for
the fair grounds, where such havoc was
played is situated directly across the street
from the ball park. Baseball special tors
have been peculiarly fortunate in escaping
injury from storms. This seems remark
able in view of the fact that the hours
when games are played comprise that par
ticular part of the day when storms usual
ly prevail can recollcct but one instance
when danger from storm even threatened
spectators. The time referred to was sew
eral years $50 when a small tornado
swooped down on the Pittsburg grounds
while "a same was in progress ana unroofed
some of the stands without doing more
personal damage than to cause great fright.
Now that the break has come and a base
ball grand stand has been twisted up by
the storm king there viii be more uneasi-
ness displayed by spectators at the ap-
proach Of threatening clouds, for it is
well grounded superstition that calamities
come in aroups-usually of three. That
theory was carried out when, within few
months in 1894, tho grand stands at Bos-
ton, Chicago and Philadelphia burned,
thereby putting the lives Of spectators in
Imminent danger. Later the Baltimore
clubs buildings went up in fames and,
though the news was never published, Two
other grand stands in the National league
circuit would have been lost that season
except for the exercise Of extra vigilance
on the part of local officials. The year 1894
was a year CT fires. Is 1896 to be q year of
destroying storms?
Now that President Young has notified
all parties concerned that the National
league board OF directors refuses to con
yene in special meeting to hear Rusios ap-
peal for release from reservation by the
New York club the question arises, What
will Amos do next? 1t must be patent to
the dullest mind that the magnates will
uphold the New York club in it's stand
against the rebellious pitcher. Rusie was
playing for his release and somebody made
him believe he would get it from the board
of directors. Now that such hope is re-
moved his early surrender is not improb-
able. o. p. CAYLOR.

HOW FRANK MAYO DIED.
Like One Going to Sleep-An Ignor-
ant Doctor 1Eisinformsd Him

Omaha, June Crank Mayo, the vet
eran actor, died on the Union Pacif1c's
Overland Limited While en- route to
this city yesterday some time before
noon.
He had given no sign that he was i'll,
although for a year or more past he
had been afflicted with pains in his
chest These pains generally occurred
at night after Mr. Mayo had finished
acting. He had been examined only re-
Gently 10y a physician Who told him that
he need have no fear. that the pains did
not indicate heart trouble nor were
they to be regarded as serious
The great actor found surcease for
these pains by sitting up at night 1t
was no surprise then that he told the
members of his company that he would
sit UP on Sunday night
Roland Reed the actor, was also on
the train and the two spent Sunday
evening chatting together until some
time after midnight.
Mr. Mayo appeared to have rested
well during the night, as he was up
early, and when the train stopped at
North Platte he took a brisk walk up
and down the platform of the station.
He returned to the smoking room, and.
leaning his head on his arm, fell
asleep. The members of the company
left him. knowing that he did not care
to be disturbed ia his sleep When it
had passed noon, however. some of the
members became alarmed, and Mana
ger w. j. Block went in the room to
awaken the actor. There was nothing
that could prevent ones thinking that
1Ir. Mayo was merely asleep but il
proved to be the sleep from which he
never awoke.
The manager made the startling dis
cOvery shortly after 4 o'clock. Physi-
clans were summoned to meet the train
at Grand Island. They announced that
ar MayO had been dead between one
and two hours. From appearances his
death seemed to have been a peaceful
one. and one that was i'm harmony with
the mans whole life, There was not the

prior to 1873 without waiting for the

else the right to redeem greenbacks,

NEW MEXICO TRIES AGAIN.
Delegate Catron Makes One More Eff
fort for Admission.

Washington, June 9.-Delegate Catron
of New Mexico, has reported to the
house from the territories committee,
the bill for the admission of that ter
ritOry to the sisterhood of states. Ac-
cOmpanying the bill is a long report
submitting reasons why New Mexico
should be admitted into the union. This
report reviews the financial condition
of the territory, speaks of its resources,
based on the figures Of the last census,
assumes that the population at this
time is not less than 200 900 and recalls
that as far back as the fOrty-third con-
gress a bill for admission passed both
houses. The senate, however, made
amendments to the bill at that time
and it reached the house too late in the
session to secure action on the amend
ments
The report declares that the people
desire statehood and the territory has
persistently demanded 1t, says the pas
sage of the bill is urged by both the po-
litical parties of the territories, then
argues there appears to be no reason
why congress should further delay the
admission. Under the most adverse
circumstances subjected to the incur
siOns Of hostile Indians until a compar-
atively recent date and with foreign
capital forbidden to invest in real prop
erty in the territory, the territory con-
tinues the report, has shown to the
world a capacity to progress and she
has advanced much faster than the
average ratio of progress in the United
States in every material particular
since annexation.
1t is confidently submitted that New
Mexico has the resources sufficient to
guarantee a stable and substantial
state. Five members of the committee
have united in minority report Op-
posed to the passage Of the bill.

HAVE YOU FURUNCLES?
That is What These Doctors Call Just
Common Boils.

At the meeting of the Topeka Acad-
envy of Medicine and Surgery last
night DR.. J. L. Gilbert introduced his
new germ or bacillus, which was ac-
cidentally discovered by him while
making an analysis of the city water
DR.. Gilbert is quite proud of his bac-
THEOLOGICAL product and spoke in a
a fatherly manner of it's habits and
home life. He said that it was of a
tender nature and preferred a warm
climate, $50 degrees Fahrenheit suiting
its taste perfectly. In this it is unlike
its bacterial relatives, as all forms of
known bacteria thrive best at a tenn
perature of SO degrees. DR.. Gilbert
viii experiment with the germ for the
purpose of determining to what extent,
if any, it endangers human life by the
production of disease.
"Furuncles'' was the subject of a pa
per read by DR.. Harriet Adams which
was productive of much discussion. To
the uninitiated furuncles are commonly
known as bOils.
Dr. W e. McWey presented a paper
on the possibilities of Consumption"
and the meeting closed with a report Of
