AN UNCREDITED RUMoR.

Gen. Weyler Did Not Prevent Consul Cen
eral Lee Visiting American Prisoners.
A New York Herald special from
Washington says: State department
officials are slow to believe the report
that Captain General Weyler has any
intention of preventing Consul General
Lee from visiting American prisoners
in Cuba. Any action by the captain
general having this in view would call
forth a strong protest to the Spanish
government.
The right of representatives of this
government to visit Americans in pris-
on has never been questioned. and the
administration would not permit in
fringement of it, especially in Cuba.
The frequent capture of Americans and
their imprisonment there especially re-
quire the services of consular officers
Rpd the necessity of the latter talking
with their countrymen.
The authorities say If any Americans
arc in confinement in MORO Castle, or
any other place, held by the Spanish
troops, Consul-Genersl Lee has the right
to visit them and Spain will not be per-
mitted to controvert il.

CARDINAL SATOLLI RETIRED.

Monsiguore Falconio, Titular Bishop of
Acerenda. Named In His Place.
Cardinal Satolli has been relieved and
his successor appointed. Private adj
vices received in Washington from Rome
are to the effect that Mgr. Falconia,
titular archbishop of Acerenda, will
succeed Cardinal Satolli as apostolic
delegate to the United States at an early
day.
A visit to the cardinals house elected
the information that Satolli will not
be present in Rome at the consistory
June 25. He will wait until the next
meeting of the kind to receive the hat
from the pope. Nothing was known
there regarding the appointment of his
successor, but the indications are that
Satolli will remain in this country until
Archbishop Falconia arrives. AS the
archbishop's name has not been men
toned in this connection either in Eu-
rope or in the United States his APP
pointment comes as a complete sur
prise. The best opinion indicates that
the change will be. announced on the
25th.
Mgr. Falconia is So years old, an Ital-
ian by birth. He has spent Is years
in this country and Canada.

Plunger, Dying In Poverty.
A Recorder special from Boston says:
Rodney Fiske, the famous young mil
lionaire from California, who startled
Wall street few years ago by his wild
speculations, and who disappeared mys-
teriously a few years ago, after squan-
dering his original legacy Of $780,
900 and the millions he added TO it, is
dying in New York city, penniless and
dependent upon the hospitality of COM
parative strangers.
The wrecked Napoleon of finance is
harbored in the humble residence of
Ottie Cunningham, and only disclosed
his identity when informed that death
was near.
Young Cunningham became acquaint-
ed with Fiske, at the Candee rubber
works in New Haven, where the broken .
down millionaire was working as an
ordinary factory hand. They roomed
together, and when Fiske became i'll
Cunningham brought him to his home

some Feline Army.
What to do with the army of stray
cats is problem that Washington will
be called upon to solve before great
while. The city is overrun with tramp
cats and they make the night hideous
with their yowls. A nervous citizen has
filed a complaint with the district au-
thorities. This citizen suggests that
some humane method of putting the
cats to death should be adopted by the
city. The government is largely respon-
sible for the plague. A few years ago
the treasury building became overrun
with rats. After every way of exter-
minating them failed, several hundred
cats were turned loose in the vaults.
The rats soon disappeared, but the cats
increased rapidly and became great
nuisance, not only in the treasury

DEACON NICELY IN A BAD FIX.
His Arrest Follows a Refusal to b,
Blackmailed.

Zachariah Nicely, wealthy resident
and deacon in the Methodist church,
was arrested at Shelbyville, Ind, the
other morning on grand jury war
rant. He gave bond in the sum of
$1,000. Nicely came to this county in
1869 from Lawrence county, O., where
he was married in 1s49. A few weeks
after marriage his wife abandoned him,
going to Virginia. After coming to
this county he was taken sick, and
wrote for his wife, thinking she would
come. Instead a letter came stating
that she was dead. He recovered and
married Sarah Bales, who proved good
and devoted wife, and who assisted
him in accommodating nice fortune.
This fact seems to have reached Vir-
ginia parties, who, he says, recently
wrote informing him that unless he
would send them $1,000 they would
expose him, stating that his first wife
was living, which is true. Nicely re-
fused to do this and his arrest is the re
suit

NEGROES IMMERSED.
one Hundred baptized in Christian Creek
at wniiamsville, Mich.

at wnliamsville, Mich.
From all parts of southwestern Michi-
gan people flocked to the little hamlet
of Williamsville, Mich, the other day to
witness nearly 100 negroes baptized in
Christian creek.
The candidates for baptism, when
ranged on the bank of the stream, made
an interesting sight. Some of the men
were dressed in black, while others were
clad in calico shirts and overalls. Some
of the young women were decked out
as if for picnic, and some of the older
ones had added flower or bright-col-
ored ribbon to their apparel.
The first candidate led down to the
water was the "dude" of the party and
his attitude as he paced down the steep
incline caused some merriment. AS he
was immersed he slipped and foundered
about in the water. Audible comments,
not always fattering to the candidates,
were made by some of the older con-
verts, as several reformed young men
were immersed.
One of the last persons to be baptized
nearly proved conundrum to the mas
ter Of ceremonies. She was short and
thick and floated on the water like a
cork, while the preacher struggled to
push her beneath the surface. At
length she started to float down stream,
when one excited convert unable to
further control himself rushed down to
the brink of the stream shouting:
dip her, dip her, Mistah Preacher;
her sins are leaving her in clustahs."

Iowa Saloontst objects to the Building of
an NJ. e. Church.
Can a saloon enjoin the building Of a
church? is question puzzling the peo-
pie of Madrid, Boone county, Ia. D.
Arie owns a saloon in that town, oper-
ated under the mulct law, which forbids
saloons within 300 feet of any church or
school. Lately the erection of a
Methodist Episcopal church has been
commenced within 300 feet of the saloon,
and Arie claims that either the saloon or
church must be outside that limit. AS
the saloon was there first, the claim is
made that the same law that prescribes
the rule for the saloon operates as bar
to a church being erected within saloon
territory, and threatens injunction pro-
ceedings. The courts will settle the
matter in some shape, either through
the proposed injunction or proceedings
to close the saloon after the church is
built,

SATURDAY, JULY II, 1896,
RULES FOR HAND POLO.
New Game Suitable for the Gymnasium
and Tennis Court.


New Game Suitable for the Gymnasium
and Tennis Court.
There are many outdoor games for
summer, nearly all of them the grad
ual growth of years; but gymnasium
games have to be invented, and good
ones are few at best.
Handball, a fine game, cannot be
played by more than two on a side.
Basket ball, upon its introduction, was
hailed as the ideal game, but time has
shown that it permits of quite as much
rough play as football, while the diff
ficulty of making a goal is discourage
ing to beginners.
A new game called hand polo, suit
able for the gymnasium or tennis
court, has just been invented in New
York.
A few evenings ago it was formally
launched by the first match game of
hand polo ever played. The rules of the
new games are now printed for the first
time, as follows:
Two goals must be provided, each
seven feet high and seven feet wide,
placed in the middle of line drawn
parallel to, and not less than three feet
from, the end of the court or room.
The ball used may be either the as
ISOLATION football, or regulation bas-
ket-ball.
\ Each team shall consist of one goal
keeper, one center and four players in
line; or such other number as may be
agreed upon. The goalkeeper must
wear colored cap or other distinguish
ing mark.
Shoes without heels or heavy soles
must be worn by all players.
The captains shall select the referee
and umpire; toss for choice of goals,
and be entitled to call the attention of
the referee or umpire to any violation
of the rules which they think has been
made.
All disputed points and matters OF
appeal that may arise during the ref
eree's continuance in Office shall be left
to his decision, which must be final and
without appeal, except as to the inter-
probation of the rules.
The referee shall be judge of the
game. He shall decide when the ball is
in play, to whom il belongs, shall keep
the time and decide when a goal has
been made.
The ball is put in play by placing it
upon the floor in the center of the room,
