Not "a FraternaI Organization.

ST. LOUIS, May 13.-Judge Amos VI.
Thayer, of the United States Court of APP

that the National Union was not a fraternal

must be governed by the insurance laws OF

the case of the National Union VS.. Arcadia

How the Clubs stand.
A PRoTEsTED GAME.
Either the Boosiers Numbered or the
Umpire Wronged Them.


Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MILWAUKEE,. Wis. May BIN the ninth
inning to-day the Indianapolis team left the
field thinking that umpire Jevne had called
Spear out and that 1t had won the game by
q score OF 2 to 6. On the play which the
champions supposed retired Spear Stafford
scored the run which tied the score
After wasting fifteen minutes in getting the
crowd out OF the grounds and finding that
the indianapolis team had left the field Jevne
gave the game TO Milwaukee by a score c.
. to o.
The way the trouble came was as follows:
When the Milwaukees went to bat in the
ninth the score stood 7 to against them.
Nicol went out on a fly to Mccarthy and
Weaver did likewise on fly to Hogan. Then
Harmon hit for two bases. and Twitche,l fol-
lowed with single. Stafford scored botE
with two-base hit to left Schiebeck made
an error on Taylor's grounder and Watterer
was given base on balls. Then Spear hit to
Roat. Roat threw to second to get weterer.
but failed. Stewart threw TO Motz to get
Spear at first and failed, and Stafford scored
with the run that tied. In giving his decision
on Spear at first Indianapolis understood
Jevne to say that Spear was out. But this
seems to be a mistake. Jevne was seen after
the game and he stated that he had called
Spear safe and could not understand why
Indianapolis left the field. Manager Watkins
stated tonight that the game would be pro-
tested.
Up TO the sixth inning the score was tied
In the sixth inning. however, the champions
legan to draw away and they scored three
or home run by Mccarthy. singles by
Stewart and Hogan and a sacrifice by Buck
ley. A triple by Hogriever and single by
Roat scored another in the seventh, and the
game then went on until the ninth, when
the misunderstanding came. Score:

Eddie Mcfarland was put on the bench

played by the Browns. Along came Won
der Abe and reinstated him. This misman-
aged team is having more trouble than ever
this season, and IL is pretty saf5 TO believe
that Mcfarland wishes he were back with
Indianapolis. Well, the feeling Is recipro-
Gated here. Mcfarland would put Watkins
team in championship form again. Wood is
too erratic- He is a good substitute catcher
and that is all.
Some thirty-third degree fan writing
from Marion says the people in the vicinity
or Converse. Ind, have an idea that one
Arrick is playing with Indianapolis under the
name OF Wood. Well. this Is the best yet.
Bob Wood has been with Indianapolis for
two seasons and halls from F'indlay, o. Ar

then dr-fted away, goodness knows where
how and when. He was unable to hold

admlring uncle and the doting big brother,

baby into a basket or other contrivance and
giving the youngster a ride on the bicycle.
must forego that sort OF amusement or in
cur the liability OF prosecution. Such is the
edict of the Illinois Humane Society. The
officers of the society have been giving the
matter serious investigation. The brunt OF
a shock when a collision occurs is only one
of the least objections raised. Medical ex-

children propose to invoke the aid of the

CLEVELAND, o., May 1.-THE Plain
Dealer this morning contains half-column
editorial in reference to BASEBALL and the
lack OF interest in the sport ir this city. 1t
says one reason for the great falling off in
attendance at the games is the popularity Of
open-air exercise. Baseball is enjoyed from
the standpoint of the onlooker, and the only
exercise for the spectator is in the way OF
riding on n street-car to and from the
grounds. the plain Dealer thinks 90 cents
dear for a couple OF hours of pleasure or
disappointm as the case may be-" Judg-
ing from the present conditions In Cleveland
thus far this season, the Plain Dealer be-
lieves baseball in a professional sense will
soon be 4 thing OF the past.

something of disappointment, not that Ben
Elder. the winner, had an easy victory. for
Semper Ego made him extend himself at

was expected that Ben Brush and Ben Elder

Dwyer gave w. Michigan a check for
$4,000 and became the owner of Ben Eder
He scratched Ben Brush. and Sims, wearing
the colors of Mike Dwyer, had the mount on
Ben Elder. Sir Vassar and Loki were also
scratched, and when the flag went down
there were but four contestants for the Sec
ond largest stake of the new Louisville
Jockey Club. Ulysses shot out in front for

Williams pulled him up to a canter. There
was but one horse in the race that could
interest the Fonso colt, and that was Semper

Sherrer set the pace with the son of Logic
All the while, however, Sims had Ben Elder
at his girth, and when the turn was made
in the stretch Mike Dryers new purchase
was scant head in front. Sherrer worked
with might and main on Semper Ego, but
the colt was not equal to the strain, Ben
Elder passing under the wire winner by a
head. But he did not win without urging,
although every time Sims drove the steel
into Elders side he responded nobly and
finished with something to spare. While the
fields were not so large as on previous days.

Good Templars Dlsband.

AT the last meeting of the Good
Tcmplars' lodge it was voted to SUR
render the charter and disband the
organization. Woodstock Lodge
was organized March e6, 1879, and
for many years was active and very
successful, doing excellent work in
its field here. At one time the
membership was about $50, but of
late years there has been lack of
interest in the lodge, shown es-
pecially by light attendance at the
meetings and falling off in member
ship until it was reduced to about
ninety. The expenses kept up,
however, and it was deemed best to
disband, as they became too heavy
for the few interested to boar.

Putting In a Separator,

A. E. Spear of Hartland, who
was mentioned by The Age two
weeks ago as having the plan under
consideration, is now putting in a
separator at b. +. Standish's tam
merry building and it will soon be in
operation. Besides the separator,
which will be run 10y water power,
there is a milk vat, which will hold
about three tons, and also heaters
and cream watts. The separator is
able to handle the product Of five or
six hundred cows. The cream will
be taken to Mr.. Spears dairy at
Hartlard. and he will be in charge
here. Mr.. Spear has been urged to
put Il separator here for some time
and the enterprise will doubtless be
successful. He will probably put in
one at South Woodstock in the
spring.
