The Orioles Have Regular Feast of Spi-
(ers Day by Day.

Baltimore, Oct. 5-The Orioles took
their third straight game in the Temple
cup series from the Spiders this afternoon
by dint of brilliant playing, both Mt the
bat and in the field, together with u bit
of good lnck here and there.
The price of admission was reduced to
the old time scale, but the attendance
was not materially increased thereby,
although the weather was perfect and
other conditions all that could be wished
for, Many reasons are assigned for the
light audiences during the series in Bal
timore, but the best, probably, is that
Baltimoreans have surfeit of baseball
in the past two months, and SFsmple cup
games are no new things here, and ien n~A-
attract more than ordinary contests.
Actual attendance was not given to-day,
but it was about 5000
All hands leave for Cleveland to-mor-
row and the Orioles say there will be but
one game in the Forest City, which they
expect to win and settle the contest for
the trophy. The score:
Baltimore, 6 runs, hits, Q errors;
Cleveland, runs, 10 hits, errors. Bat
teries: Hotter and Robinson; Cuppy ana
thinner. Umpires: Emslie aud Sheri-

jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 5.-Not since
1876, when the Democrats won control
OF this commonwealth from the Republi.
cans, has there been SO much interest
taken n State election as is diplayed in
the contest that will be settled at the
polls tomorrow. In addition to the State
issues there are many county differences
to be adjusted ut the polls. AS rule
only Democratic and Republican tickets
are in the field, but in some cases there
are Populists and independent candidates.
The battle, however, is between the Dem
ocrats and the Republicans, and in the
fight for important State offices the Dem
ocrats will win by large majorities. Fifty
thousand votes will probably be cast, and
of these it Is estimated that BloXham
Democratic candidate, will receive be-
tween 1000 and 80, 900 for governor.
The officers to be chosen are: A gov
ernor, secretary of State, a comptroller,
treasurer, an attorney general, n super
intendent of public. instruction, a commits
sioner of public instruction, commits
sioner of agriculture, and justice of the
supreme court, each for four years; u
house of representatives, for two years,
half of the senate for four years and in
each county, county officers for two years.
The candidates for governor are Will
liam ID. BloXham, of Tallahassee, Demo-
GRAFT, an ex-governor and present State
comptroller; Edward r. Guuby, of Tam.
pa, Republican, and William a. Weeks,
of Vernon, Populist.
If, as seems probable, the legislature
shall be almost solidly Democratic, the
vote on joint ballot for ..United States
Senator, from present Indications, will be
thirty for the reelection of Senator Will
kinson Call, sixty against him and ten
doubtful.
In 1892 the vote for governor was as
follows: Mitchell, Democrat, 32,064;
Baskin, Populist, $500

New York, Oct. 5.-As Chairman Hanna
was leaving Republican headquarters this
afternoon he was asked what truth there
was in the report that he had written q
letter to an intimate friend in which he
conceded the election of Bryan because
Republicans were unable to contrc -

"a report has recently been circulated
In the West to the effect that Mr.. Hobart.
the Republican candidate for Vice-Pres-
ldent, is president of the hard coal trust,
which, it is alleged, has advanced the
| price of coal. When Mr.. Hobart's ntten-
ton was called to this, he said that while
he did not make it practice to deny cam
paign rumors, he felt that inasmuch as
| this rumor had been circulated through
the West, it was proper to make state
ment, the substance of which is rs fol-
lows:
Last December the Trunk Line rail
roads, east of the Mississippi, were called
upon under an agreement known rs the
Joint Traffic Association to select three
arbitrators to arbitrate the differences
which might arise between these rail
roads. Only trunk lines were included in
this arbitration. Coal roads were not
included, and the matters submitted to
arbitration had nothing to do with coal,
coal production, coal tonnage or the price
OF coal in any manner, form or shape,
either directly or indirectly. The selec-
ton OF Mr.. Hobart as q judge between
these railroads was because he had no in
terests therein in any form
Mr.. Hobart also distinctly stated that
he has no connection, direct or indirect,
with any such coal trust He does not
know of the existence of any such trust,
except as he has seen statements in the
papers,

national guard in Paris had been reor-
ganized. but Its officers had never been
thoroughly loyal to the Empire, many
Of them being royalists, and some radi.
cal Republicans. Their dlsaffection had
been heightened by recent events. but
they were nevertheless summoned to the
Tuileries; the risk was doubled by the
fact that they came armed. Drawn up

great doors were thrown open, and

nounced simply that he was hoping. by
the aid Of God ana the valOr Of his
troops, to drive the enemy beyond the
frontiers. There was silence. Then tax.

A Fault In Modern Wood Carving

The woOd-carvings ana wrought
metal work of the middle ages attract
the lover Of the picturesque by certain
Irregularities of line and angularities
OF curve and plane, which do no injury
to the whole, yet give 1t character not
found in the work OF the rounded,
sandpapered school of to-day. The tools
OF these masters were often crude. and
many OF these accidental accents We're
doubtless due to this fact. Yet these
men expressed grand Ideals. and their
work as It stands to-day has an individ-
uality which Is largely due to this very
picturesaueness. There are compare
lively few workers In wood to-day who
appreciate this quality, and only re-
Gently has really artistic wood-carving
been done by American carvers. One OF
our most eminent architects, In speak
ing of the desire OF his wOOd-caryers
to destroy all character by the sand
Dapering process, says that 1t Is neces-
sary to stand over these men and to
take their work from them while they
still consider 1t misunderstanding.
