WHY HART WAS CHOSEN.

The American Association element. or
the Western combine of the National Base
ball League, is getting its work in quietly
on the Eastern clubs. The facts of the
case are pointed cut in the recent meeting of
the lea que, when it was proposed to elect
a fifth member TO the national board. The
Brush Robson clique pushed out their
paws to pull wires for the election of Frank
Robson of Cleveland, but, unfortunately
for them, st. Louis, Cleveland, Brooklyn.
Cincinnati and Louisville were the only ones
they could get into line, as the others looked
with favoring eye upon A. G. Spalding or
]. A. Hart of Chicago.
The very fact of Spalding's popularity
urged on the Westcrners TO try another game,
which. If they won, as they did do. would
give them u chance to still elect Mr.. Robi-
son. More scheme Matching was done, with
the result that the elccting OF a new member
of the board was postponed until November
Every one was on to the little game in a
minute, and it is said that Mr.. Spalding
has got on his war clothes. The action
of the Western combine ma y have the effect
of causing the Eastern clubs nd the Chicago
club to join together for the purpose OF
protecting themselves against the wiles
of the woolly Westerners.

CHICAGO DERBY is OFF
Big Stake Event at Hawthorne Will
Not Be Run This Year.
There Were Originally Two Hundred
'' and Sevenf y-four Entries-Turf
and Track Notes.

Chicago, Feb. 29.-Ed. Corrigan was here
yesterday and left for California last night.
As a result OF his visit the $25, 900 Chicago
Derby of 1886 was Officially declared off.
No payments have been made in 1t and the
first declarations are due next Monday.
There were 247 entries and the stake was
too costly to transfer. The only Hawthorne
stakes now alive are the Stallion stakes OF
1897 and 1898.
81 Mr.. corrigan will race in California until
June, wien the tracks close until October
by agreement. He will then divide his
time between ST. Louis, Latonia and Oak
ley. He has the right for the United States
for the Gray starting machine. We do
not need expert starters with 1T, said he.
1t is sure success with Jockeys, horses
and the public. We place our machine
scventy-fiye feet or so behind the post.
The start. is almost a standing one. but

SHERIFF WILKINS FREED

In, ,t.vg,


Urbana, Ohio, Feb. 2s.- Especial. This
town is greatly exercised over the remark
able rescue OF Sheriff X. =. Wilkins from
one or the worst forms OF slavery known 10
man. He has now fully recovered from the
results of his experience, and talks freely
AID gratefully OF his defivercr. In an inter
view today he said II have been a per
feet slave to tobacco for over twenty-five
years; smoked from twelve to fifteen
cigars Il day. November 4th last bought
my first box OF No-TC-Bac from Anderson
& Cramer. l had little faith, and TO my
great surprise, after using part of the third
box, | was completely cured and did not
have the least desire for tobacco. Today
/ feel better, | sleep better, think better,
AMI have gained 1btecn pounds III weight,
and there Is not u day PASSES that do not
recommend No-To-Blc to many of the to-
bacco users who ! know are destroying
Their lives and vitality by the use OF the
weed"
Further investigation revealed the ia ct
that there are 800 people living in this
town and the surrounding country who
have been cured by No-To-Bac.
Anderson Il Cramer stated that they were
the first to start the good work here. as
Mr.. Anderson termed II. "Ycs, we intro
duCed NO-TC- Bac into this town about three
years ago. The demand at the start was
very light, the folks had no faith in il, bu
we sold to a few people. and 10 our great
astonishment every one reported a cure.
Since that time we have sold hundreds Of
boxes, and every one under a guarantee 10
cure or refund the money, and, strange as
il may seem, we have never had Il call 10
refund money!
No-TC-Bac not only relieves the nervous
irritation and makes the use OF tobacco
entirely unnecessary, but at the same lime
builds up and fortiiies the general hysical
condition. AS n natural InvigoratCr and
stimulant we believe there is no preparation
in America to equal il.
tine public should he warned, however,
against the purchase OF any OF the many
limitations on the market. as the success of
No-TG-Bac C has brou sht forth IL hOstoT Coun-

eists. ard every tablet has the word No-To-
Bac plainly stamped thereon"

SKATES GIVEN AWAY.
Ice Palace Management Proposes An
other Souvenir for the Ladies'

Ice Palace Management Proposes An
other Souvenir for the Ladies'.
Every one OF the fair sex who buys a
book of ten admissions at the Convention
Hall Ice Palace, between the hours of l
and O'Clock next Tuesday afternoon,
will receive as souvenir pair Of hand
some Barney and Berry lady's skates,
presented by the management of the rink.
Those who received the skates on the
last souvenir day were SO much pleased with
their property, and the day was SO success
full in a financial way, that the management
determined to repeat, and next Tuesday
afternoon was fixed upon as the day.
On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
evenings at O'Clock Harry Park, the we'll
known fancy bicycle rider, will give an
exhibition Of high bicycle riding on the
ice. These exhibitions will be exceedingly
interesting, due to the fact that the ice
does not make quite as good surface on
which to ride bicycle as the ground.
Two hockey teams from Canada will be
seen at the rink Saturday afternoon and
Saturday evening. These are the Sham
rock and Montreal teams, including some
of the finest players in the Dominion. As
Canada probably contains the best hockey
players in the world, and as these are
the two best teams in the country, they
may be said to be the flower of the hockey
players of the world.
They will play a game of Ia crosse in the
afternoon, and a scientific game of hockey
in the evening. 1t is likely that the hockey
which these two teams put up will be en-.
tirely different from that which the people
In this vicinity have been used to seeing,
and the game should attract large crowd
to the rink Saturday at both sessions.

New York, Feb. 29.-Dan Stuart has lost

about $4,000 Some men would stop at
this. Not SO with Daniel Stuart. He pulled
off one fight. He is proud of that. All the

Julian did not say whether this offer
suited his man. Its away ahead OF the
London purse" he remarked.
A runior was circulated last night to the
effect that Corbett intended to climb on
the stage at Madison Square Garden tonight
and make a speech while hfs rival wasin the
ring. As Corbett was in n small town in
Michigan last evening it is doubtful If even
a fast special train could get him here I'm
time. Corbett is still anxious to fight
Fitzsimmons and now declaims the cham
pionship title. This is shown by the follow
ing communication:
Flint, Mich, Feb. 2s.
To Robert Fitzsimmons:
When retired from the ring it was with
the distinct understanding that if the cham
pionship was won by a foreigner l should
reclaim il. 1 hereby reclaim the title,
and as you also reclaim 1t, l wish TO

so doing show that you are not again avoid

Springs. / will gladly meet you before any
reputable club in this country or any other
that can guarantee a fistic meeting be-
tween US, for as much money as you can
raise, or for a purse alone. Immediately
or in any reasonable time; but In any event
you must deposit sufficient monetary
guarantee to insure your appearance in the
ring at the time agreed on, Idoing likewise.
Now, let US have a meeting and no more
examinations or newspaper talk. You are

place you name to arrange a match. If

OFFICERS TACKLED OSGOOD
Pennsylvania Famous Halfback
Among Captured Cuban Patriots.
Had Practiced SIiarp.h hooting for Near
lya MOntll-Much Discouraged
Over the Failure to Sail

Philadelphia. Feb. 29.-Winchcst steI Dana
Osgood, Pennsylvania S Old hGlfback whose
brilliant play made thousands cheer with
delight at Franklin field last fall, was one OF
the party of Cuban filibusters who were
arrested early Tuesday morning by the
revenue men in lower New York Bay. He
had scores OF friends in tie university
colony in West Philadelphia. hut few, If
any OF them, knew thasshe had started
for Cuba, or that he intended TO ioin the
iBsurgent ranks. Everybody thought he
had gone West te@train the football team
OF the University OF Illinois.
Several OF the professors at the university
are Cuban leaders. and more than half OF
the students are sympa,hizers. Many of
them offered to go TO fight fer the freedom
OF the island. but the answer has always
been that there were native Cubans, and TO
spare, ready and anxious TO join their
fighting brethren as soon as expeditions
could get away.
Osgood, however, would not accept that
answer, and, after burrying about for sew
cral days, went back TO tie ie9ders in this
city with the 81 rongcst kindofIecommenda-
tions, some OF them given by prominent
Cuban residents. He was accepted.
The Philadelphia party that was to have
sailed on the Bermuda was headed by Capt.
Gerardo NJ. Donencch. Almost every day
during the month or so that 0sgood was
waiting his moving orders, DomcDech went
with him TO practice craftsmanship.
They had repeating rifles ard rerolvers.
and USED TO go out Market street and over
Cobb's Greek to shoot at marks in the
fields and woods OF Delaware county.
Osgood proved 10 be as good n shot as a
football player. and Domenech was de-
lighted with the skill he showed.
The call 10 action came Monday morning.
Osgood had not flushed ms breakfast. His
baggage was ready, but the start was not
made until several hours later. Besides
Capt. Domenech and the athlete, the MEM
bcrs OF the party were PlaCfdo Guiteras and
Emilio Gener. All three of the Cubaus were
cousins OF Dir. John Gui,eras. president
of the Cuban Clubs OF Philadelphia ard
leader OF the patriot colony iu this city.
That night they boa rdied the tug McCaldeu
at pier 4. East River. New York side, and
proceeded down the bay, with about fifty
other Cubans. Some time after O'Clock
they saw the Bermuda, but there was
revenue cutter on either side, so the Nc
Calden kept a straight course.
She was followed by one OF the cutters
and hailed with an order 10 stop. The party
was put under arrest. Their hearing and
discharge has alread been Published.
Osgood was bitterly disappointed, and
when Domench. Guiteras and Geper re-
turned to this city refused to accompany
them. He is. however. in close communica-
tion with them, and. with the other MEM
hers of will t9kp first OnnDr-

GAMBLER SENT TO JAIL.
Notorious Gambler VIII Serve Veal
and Pay $500 Fine.

Notorious Gambler VIII Serve Year
and Pay $500 Fine.
Harry Gambler, salOonkeeper, gambler,
and one Of the most disreputable characters
of Jackson City, was convicted in the county
court at Alexandria yesterday for keeping
gambling house, and sentenced to one
year in Jail and to pay fine Of $500.
The jury returned the verdict of guilty,
and fixed the punishment after twenty
minutes deliberation. Gambler had been
under indictment for the offense since Au-
gust, 1894, and the case has been on the
docket ever since.
After the jury returned the verdict Gambler
arose and told the jury that they We're all
wrong.
"Give me fifteen minutes, and I'll prove
it," he said.
His time for proving his Innocence was
up, however, and he was escorted to the
county Jail, which is to be his domicile
for one year from date. This is almost
the extreme penalty Oflaw. He could have
been fined 1000 under the law, but
his term in jail could not be longer.
So far all the gamblers who have been
indicted in Alexandria county have been
landed in Jail by Prosecuting Attorney
Marbury.

'to say much about. When / found at
the start that could land on Fitz l felt
sure that he would be unable to defeat me,
and that would be the victor. What Oc-
cured the world knows. While l met

disappointed, have hopes of yet proving
that l am capable OF putting up good

great hopes of getting on another
