ABOUT THE JOYCE DEAL.
Rumor Could Not BE Verified in Phil.
adeIphia.


Concerning the Joyce McC eye Cross
Grady trade, the Philadelphia Press says:
There was rumor in this city last night
that the officials of the Philadelphia and
Washington clubs had put their heads to-
gether and had decided upon trade. The
men reported to have figured in the ex-
change are Cross and Grady, whom, it is;
said, the Fhillies have let go for Manager
Captain Joyce, the third baseman of the
Senators, and Catcher McCauley, For Some
time the officials of these teams have been
trying to make deal, and while the Phil
adelphia club was said to be anxious to
have Joyce, they would not allow Hallman
or Thompson, whom President Wagner
wanted, to figure in the trade. President
Reach is out West with the Philadelphia
club and Col Rogers is at his summer cot
tage at Cape Nay, SO that yerificaeic.,
Of the rumor could not be secured last
night.
The Ledger Is against trade. 1t says:
story was currentin Washington yesterday
to the effect that Washington had made q
deal with the Phillies for Cross and Grady,
giving in exchange Captain Joyce, Catcher
McCauley, anda monetary consideration, but
there is hardly any truth in 1t. as the
Phiiadelphia team would be the loser by
such a trade, and the clubs owners ar
endeavoring to build up, not tear down, the
team.

OFFICIALS ARE RECOVERING.
Effects of the Recent Christian En-
dao vor Convauftou -s

Effects of the Recent Christian En-
deavor Convention.
The officials in the various departments
are just beginning to recover from the ef-
fects Of the recent Christian Endeavor CON-
vention. The medal for bearing the heat
and burden of the day must be given to
those who devoted their time and breath
to showing the visitors such things OF iu-
tercst as they desired to see, and answering
questions as to what was not visible to the
naked eye. ~
Some idea as to the number OF Endeav-
orers who inspected the different DEPART
ments, may be formed frem the fact that
during the six days of the convention nearly
$4,000 strangers registered in the office
of the Treasurer of the United States. The
record for the respective days, as shown by
the register, is as follows: Wednesday,
1000; Thursday, 5000; Friday, $500;
Saturday, 1900; Monday, 1000; Tuesday,
1900.
There have been all sorts of conventions
and public gatherings gsatthe National Capital
since the corner stone was laid upon the
banks of the Potomac, but never any
thing which gave the departments quite so
much trouble as the Christian Endeevorers.
Naturally the Treasury Department was
the Mecca for most of the visitors. The
hard times of the past two or three years
have left their impression even upon En-
deavorers. They We're painfully anxious
TO satisfy themselves that Uncle Sam
really had some money left.
Approaching this fact, and the possible
bearing it might have upon the future the
Treasury officials offered every facility.
Treasurer Morgan opened the great vaults
of the United States, employed scores of
additional guides, and gave the Endeavorers
comparatively free access to the Treasury
Of the United States.
Those of them who had been posted were
supplied with tickets or admission and
guides free of charge, ,.and. shown all the
lions of the Treasury. Naturally, the
chief attraction was the vauits.r'. 5..4
