How They Stand.


The season just ended has not been as
prosperous with professional baseball as
the two OF three seasons preceding. This
is on account of the hard times. It is in
evidenced clearly from the fact that fewer
of the minor leagues have pulled through
the entire season. As far as the Nation
al League is concerned, the attendance
In the aggregate has been smaller than
last year. The conditions of the race
have been responsible for this to a large
degree. For instance, the clubs in good
baseball towns like New York, Brooklyn,
Philadelphia and Boston have never been
In 1t, as far as the championship was con-
cerned, for any length of time: while last
year nine clubs were fighting it out until
near the close of the season.
The business of the Chicago club, said
President Hart, has fallen off both at
home and abroad this season as compared
with last, the greatest falling off being
IN the away-from-home games, caused
by the reasons just stated. The attend
ance at home has been less than last year
because we have had poorer attractions
on holidays, Saturdays and Sundays, and
also because the team was a greater num-
Der OF games away from the pennnnt al
though occupying the same relative posi-
tion in the championship table as last
year.
To prognosticate the performance for
coming season is hard task. 1t is impos-
sib.e to foretell what will be the condition
of the men when they show up for work
in the spring. The best pitchers of one
season may be the poorest of the next.

Switzerland's Army.

Switzerland manages to keep up
an effective army OF nearly 100000
men at very slight cost of money
and time. The Swiss schoolboys
are trained in gymnastics, in the
manual OF arms, and in the elements
of company drill. The State en-
courages target shooting societies,
of which there are 2977, with
membership of 133,500, by sub
vention of nearly 100000 a year,
the results being that almost every
Swiss can handle a rifle. The SOL
diers serve ten years, between the
ages of % and 32, being called out
for drill on forty-iive days in the
first year and sixteen days in every
subsequent year. Each man keeps
his uniform, rifle and knapsack ct
home, and is responsible for their
being kept in good order, strict
inspection being held in each district
yearly. Consequently each soldier
costs Switzerland $35 year, instead
of the $500 that is paid by England,
the $225 by France aud Germany,
and the $ll0 by Russia. The Swiss
Land wehr, the men between 32 and
Al years, first organized in 1876,
numbers $4,000 men, and the Land
sturm, the final reserve Of all men
capable of bearing arms, is reckon
ed at 100000,

The swiftest Vessel.

The French Revue Industrielle
says that probably the swiftest
vessel in the world is the seagoing
torpedo vessel constructed at Havre
by the well-known house of Angus
tin Normand, the contract requiring
that it should maintain aspeed Of
twenty-nine or thirty knots an hour
under full steam. At its trial trip,
it seems, this vessel, the Forban, ran
a distance OF more than thirty-one
knots in an hour, this being equiva-
lent to about thirty five miles, prob
ably the greatest distance ever COW
cred by a seagoing ship in sixty
minutes-powerful engines being
necessary, Of course, to drive the
vessel through the water at such a
rapid rate. Although the displace-
ment OF the craft is only about leo
English tons, it carries engines OF
$3.50 horse power

DAMS a BANKER A eUAR1ER.
Bright Eewsboy Who Makes a
Friend by His Shrewdness

A banker who counts his wealth
by seven figures, and an exceptional
ly well-known figure on the streets
of Chicago, came out OF his Office
about dusk the other evening and
walked to the corner to take
north bound Clark street. car to his
home. 1t was mean, nasty, drizzly
evening. AS he reached the corner,
he stepped up to newsboy
bought the evening papers. But
when he felt in his pocket for
change he discovered he did not
have single penny. He fumbled
through one pocket, then another,
but the search was fruitless.
81 have no change" he said to the
newsboy, who had patiently waited
for his pay, as he handed back his
papers.
"Hain't yer got any money to-
night?" the urchin asked.
"Not cent" answered the banker.
"That's all right" said the news
boy. IL kin lend you some. How
much dyer wants"
The banker looked at the boy and
smiled knowingly. The unusual cir
cumstance of street arab proffer-
ing a loan to millionaire banker
struck him as being particularly
comical. He took a quick mental
survey OF the boy and decided what
to do.
"Give me quarter" he said, He
paid for his papers and pocketed
the remaining change. Then, turn
ing to the lad, he said;
Sits bad habit, that OF giving
credit to strangers or the street and
loaning them money You don't
know who | am, nor whether you'll
ever get your money back"
COB, | know you. You're presi-
dent o. that bank over there"
"Come to my Office tomorrow and
get back your loan" said the banker
as he walked to the cable car
And the newsboy kept right on
calling his papers.

BASEBALL.

If the people of San Antonio want a
baseball club next season, and they
all do, they must lay all grievances
aside and work tremendously.
The trouble is everybody thinks
somebody else is getting the best
of it, and nobody wants to see the 9TH
er man get it all without doing some
thing for the good of everybody.
There is yet no need for despair,
however, San Antonio has a chance
and a good one. News is expected
daily, but has not yet sufficiently de-
veloped for publication.
In the event this deal falls through
there is another plan, which seems to
be a very favorable one. 1t is to is
sue about 1000 tickets at 80 cents
each to entitle each purchaser adj
mission to one game. Everybody seems
to be favorably impressed with this
plan. and the cranks would even be
glad to give rs cents or 81 for a ticket
and many would give that much mere
ly as a donation. This is no presump-
ton of the writer The cranks have
expressed their willingness to do this.
and baseball crank never goes back
on his word.
A report has been current the past
two days that Mike O'Connor is in
town. If he is he is certainly keeping
very quiet about it. A deal is pending
with O'Connor. His terms are salts
factury, but there are others yet to be
heard from before the matter will be
decided.
AS soon as the question on a mana
ger is settled. arrangements will be
made for suitable park. Several
offers are under consideration.
letters have been received from
Billy Kohnle and Frank Ouigg. both
of whom were with DenisOn last sea-
son. They are good men and want
| to play in San Antonio.

THE SHAKERS DO THEIR DUTY.

THE SHAKERS DO THEIR DUTY.
IF man discovers a valuable med
icine," said Horace Greeley, 1t is his
duty to advertise it." Yes, and at
once; for suffering demands the spec
diest relief possible. But let the man
first be sure. Suffering had better
wait than be deluded by false hopes.
Medicine, like surgery, most often
seem cruel in order to be really kind.
On this principal the Shakers, of Mt.
Lebanon, N. Y, withheld their great
indigestion and dyspepsia remedy
from the public for several years. With
them rightdoing is everything-mon-
ey comparatively nothing. Hence the
popularity and success of whatever
they offer for sale. Having satisfied
themselves to be the merit of their
medicine by employing it in the worst
cases of digestive disorders in their
own vicinity for years, they did their
duty-they advertised it. under the
name of the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
In all cases where there Is distress af-
ter eating, pain in the stomach, chest
and back; aversion to food with the
resulting symptoms, such as head
ache, furred tongue, eructation of gas,
with weakness and loss of flesh, ETC.,
the Cordial has most happy effect.
Being itself a digested food with pow
err to digest other foods. 1t relieves the
weak and possibly infiamed stomach
of the labor it is in no condition TO per-
form, gives new strength to the body
and presently restores to the digestive
organs their normal vigor. Taken i'm
mediately after eating this remedy in
sures the digestion of the meal and
prevents the fermentation of the food.
which is the source of most of the af-
flicted symptoms which accompany
dyspepsia. 1t is also as agreeable to
the taste as it is potent as medicine.
To show their own confidence in 1t.
and to hasten its universal adoption.
the Shakers authorize druggists to sell
trial bottles at the nominal price of
ten cents.
