Eastcc Services Attract Large Con-

The Easter services held in the various
churches of this city yesterday attracted large
congregations and the day was a delightful
one, excepting for a strong northwest wind
which threatened to bring up rain storm.
All of the churches were magnffcently decor
ated with flowers and potted plants and the
musical programmes prepared by the choirs
were exceptionally fine. The customary Sunday
services were held in the prison chapel in the
forenoon and in the afternoon Bishop Gilbert
delivered his annual address to the inmates of

confirmed a class at Ascension Episcopal
church.

AK OF A PLAYERS UNION,

Special to the Globe.
ST. LOUIS, April 18.-There must be
an amazing Improvement in the st.
Louis teams form over their playing
today for them not to be regarded as
outclassed in the National league this
season. There was an immense crowd
of enthusiasts out to see what the 1897
Browns were like, and there was
scarcely a person in the crowd who did
rot go away disappointed at what they
saw. Charley Comiskey's team from
St Paul was the opponent. The
Apostles simply toyed with the st.
Louis players from start to finish and
won as they pleased, by the gigantic
score OF II to TO- For five innings the
visitors had the Browns shut out and
it was about that time that the crowd
became disguised and pulled as hard as
they could for Comiskeys band to give
the ST. Louis the star drubbing of the
season. The st. Paul team embraces
many faces familiar to old St Louis
fans. Glasscock, Shugart and McGiIl,
all Of whom materially aided their team
in winning, were at one time faVorites
on the st. Louis team. McGill seems
to have a good arm still and for four
innings Won Der Ahe's men could do
nothing with his delivery He then let
down as usual and hits were freely
made off of him during the remainder
of the game. The Browns rally came
too late, however, for when they started
in to score the ST. Pauls had gathered
IN ten runs. In the first inning the
visitors scored three, Hartman's tumble
being responsible for them. Then, in
the second, Cross made an inexecus-
able tumble and the visitors increased
their score to five. Cross made three
more errors in the game, and in each
instance the errors were costly
Evans, although hit early and often,
had the heart taken out of him by the
poor support accorded him while the
game was young. Hart was put in the
box in the sixth, but he had no encour-
agement to pitch his arm Off He was
wild at first, but soon settled down
and the visitors could do very little
with him. Dowd and Sullivan being
absent from the field may have weak
ened the Browns considerably, but
their absence should not have been in,
strumental in their playing as poorly
as they did. Over 1000 persons were
lin the stand. The score:

MILITIA ON BICYCLES.
Company e, of the Eighth New York,
Is to Be Mounted.

Is To Be Mounted.
There is no doubt but that the time is not
far distant when the bicycle will play an i'm
portant part In the national guard of the
country. 1t has already been demon strated
that its field of usefulness among the soldiers
is almost unlimited. Its adoption In the United
States army shows that it mast be of more
than ordinary value to the men of war, and
the use OF II in organizing companies of the
national guard is but natural sequence. The
first to take to it is the Eighth regiment of
New York, which has within its ranks a
regularly organized company of bicycle riders,
which has several occasions showed its
superiority over the men who are compelled
to travel on foot. The company is E. and
was organized last year. The men in the COM
pany are compelled to go through drills on
wheels as we'll as on foot, and are as pro-
hcient in the one as the other. On a number
OF occasions they have turned out in bicycle
parades, and always captured prizes, if not
for having the largest number of men in line
for having the neatest appearance. When they
are mounted on their wheels the men carry
their guns on the frames of the machines and
their knapsacks on their shoulders. It has been
shown that the men on wheels can cover four
times the distance of the men ON foot with
the same eXertion.
The men were granted special permit to
take their wheels to the state encampment
last year. They organized searching parties,
and time and again showed the advantages
of the silent steed for war purposes. Many
roads and byways were covered, and the main
body was kept in constant communication with
the messengers, VINO got over ground mucn
faster than could on horseback
Some time this season the company will
have a field day, and one-haf of the men de-
tailed to service with each of the two battal-
ions will start from different points several
miles apart. Each will endeavor to find the
other for the purpose of engaging in conflict
Company e, of the Eighth New York regiment
is the first bicycle company to be coupled with
a regiment of the national guard of the United
States. 1t was organized as an infantry COM
pany, but 1t was understood that any efforts
made in the direction of solving the question
of special utility Of the military bicyclists
would be appreciated by the brigade officers.
Many experiments have been conducted at
home and abroad with view to establishing
the exact value of the wheel, but so far only
two or three countries, including Germany,
have organized equipped any considerable
portion Of its forces with the machines al
though all have small number of men who
are practtced in its use. These men are used
as couriers to carry messages from point to
point in case of emergency. In England por-
ton of the force is organized as a bicycle
attachment and drilled as mounted. There are
about 1G0 men, and they have battalion or
ganization. Their drill tactics do not compare
however, with those of the New York bicycle
company, the principal features seeming to
be intended for spectacular effect.

SEASON IN TENNIS.
1t Promises to Be Interesting and
Lively.

With the passing of winter the tennis play
ers are beginning to figure on the seasons
possibilities. The local courts are receiving
their first coats Of lime and in many places
about the city and suburbs sites are being
cleared OF rubbish and court lines laid.
Probably the most important event looked
forward to is the proposed international tour

America will meet the four best English bred

HUNTER WILL NOT TALK.
He Is Urged by Friends to Remain
in the Senatorial Race.

FRANKFORT, KY, April 1S-Only
about half the members of the Iegis-
lature were in the city today, and an
unusually quiet Sunday was passed.
DR.. Hunter still declined to discuss
the recent development or to say
what his plans are. Many Of his
friends are urging him to demand an
immediate trial and that he stay in
the race at least till he is INDICATED.
Others, however, declare that any jury
that might be secured in Franklin
county would be prejudiced against
Hunter, and that he should let the
matter go over till September Only
a formal ballot will be taken tomor-
row, and interesting developments are
looked for Tuesday.

BASE BALL PLAYERS, UNION
May BE the Outcome of the Dissatis-
faction in the Two Leagues


CINCINNATI. O., April 1S.-The Com
mercial-Tribune says: There is to be some
kind Of an organization next season for the
protection of the players there is now no
longer any doubt The great majority of the
players in the National and Western leagues
are dissatisfied. They believe that they are
being made slaves of by the magnates. but
they are helpless. The changing of the con-
tract dates has been the bone Of contention
this season. The players claim that the
change in the contracts which does not
begin pay until April 10, and holds them
under contract until October Is, is a cruel
injustice. number of reasons for this
claim are advanced. 1t is held that while
the players are expected to report Just as
early in the spring for practice they are
not reimbursed until one week before the
season starts Then, in the fall Of the year
after the season is closed, the revenue of the
exhibition games, which formerly went to
the players, goes to the club.
Being shifted from one club to another
without being consulted is not to the play
ers' liking, and, it is claimed that the sal
aries are yearly being reduced.

JUDGE COL}0RN RETURNS.
CHICAGoANs SAY SALT LAKE
WILL BOOM NEXT YEAR.
Idle Capital Looking to the West
For Profitable Investments-Th
Committee On Educational Con-
vention Said to Have Prejudged
the Case.

Judge Colborn returned yesterday
from Chicago, where he went to urge
the claims of Salt Lake as the place
for the National Educational associa-
ton to hold its next meeting, which
occurs during the coming summer
When the association adjourned last
summer it left the fixing of the place
of its next meeting to a committee of
five, which met at the Great Northern
hotel in Chicago some ten days ago to
decide the point. Three cities-Wash-
ington, d. c., Salt Lake City and
Omaha were the principal competitors
and it was understood that two of the
committee were favorably inclined to
Salt Lake, two for Washington and
one for Omaha. The competing cities
were invited to send representatives to
meet the committee, and Judge Col
born was chosen to champion Salt
Lake.
1t, however appeared that the mem
bers of the committee had made up
their minds in favor of Washington
before they heard the representatives
of the other cities, and of course,
Washington came off victorious.
Judge Colborn, in his eloquent and
persuasive way, pictured Salt Lake as
the city par excellence for holding the
convention; but it was useless; the
case had been preiudiced
The judge says business is picking
up in Chicago, and there are those
there who say the first OF the tidal
waves of prosperity has reached the
Windy City. There is a great deal of
idle money which on good security can
be had at very low rates of interest
so low, in fact are the prevailing rates
in the east that capitalists are seeking
outlets for their surplus wealth in the
west, where good securities and a high
er rate of interest can be had.
Salt Lake and Utah, Judge Colborn
says, are greatly and kindly talked of,
and Chicago people who are familiar
with the business situation here pre-
dict that we viii have a season of
prosperity bordering ON a boom next
year.
