BASEBALL YARNS.

Old Pete Browning has practically
dropped out of baseball. but he will
always be remembered as one of the
queerest old chaps who ever played the
game. He was wonderful batter in
his day, but had a weakness for foam
ing breakers, which finally brought
him down.
Upon one occasion, after Pete had
won the batting championship of the
American association, the cranks of
Louisville, in order to show their ap-
probation of the sGladiator's'' work,
made UP a purse and purchased a fine
gold watch. A citizen was delegated
TO present the timepiece to Browning.
and when Pete came to bat in the first
inning of certain game, the citizen
stepped forward and, raising his cap,
said:
Mister Browning, the people of
Louisville, in recognition of your great
batting this year, wish me to present
you with this watch, which will always
remind you of their friendship
Pete took the watch out of its case,
turned it over in his wrinkled hand,
and then, turning TO the donor. he said:
Where is the chain?"

Ball players thrive on good food
when they are travelling. Some of them
go through the bill of fare at the big
hotels like hungry tramps at a cottage
door. Several years ago the New Yorks
were in Louisville. Dad Clarke and
Eddie Burke we sitting at the table
together, and Eddie said to Dad:
You give the orderi"
Dad picked up the programme and
was confronted with a long list of
French dishes, which Dad wouldn't
have attempted to pronounce for big
money.
Come herei" yelled Dad to the wait
er, and don't be swelling up in that
dress suit" Then Dad put his fore
finger on the bill of fare and let it slide
down past the various names.
Gimme some O. thati
Bring me a lot O. thati
Il want plenty O. that!
Lug along a dish O. this
Gimme a pile O. that stuff, and have

Wee Wee!" said the waiter, who
turned inquiringly to Burke. Eddie
waived him off with the imperious re-
quest:

Bill Schriver, the Cincinnati catcher,
was a trifie green when he first signed
With the Brooklyn club a dozen years
ago. Bill was a typical countryman,
but was such promising ballplayer
that the Brooklyn club decided to take
him on western trip.
Where are we geing?" Bill asked
the manager, as they boarded the train
at Jersey City.
Out west" was the laconic reply.
Then Bill sat beside a window and
gazed at the country. passing rapidly
by. When the train reached Newark,
Schriver looked around at the other
players and then sank back in his seat
He was apparently nervous about
something and kept fighting until the
train rolled into Trenton. Then he
grabbed his valise and batbag and
moved rapidly towards the door,
Hey, there. Bill" yelled the players,
where are you going?'
Why, amt this the end of our
route?" asked the catcher. How much
further have We got to travel, any
how?" When Bill finally reached st.
Louis he was in a sort of trance.

City councils committee on opening
streets is negotiating for the right of way
for the extension OF Henry street to the
Waters road. Some delay has been oc-
casioned by negotiations uron the matter
Of compensation to the land owners
through whose property the proposed ex-
tension will run. The estimated damages
on the land to be condemned, it is judged,
will approximate 5000 1t is understood
that the purpose OF the city authorities
in opening Henry street is TO make the
property contiguous to the extended part
subject to taxation.
1t cannot be questioned successfully that
there is reason in the proposition to ex-
tend Henry street. While this work is
being done, however. the city authorities
should see to il that streets are opened
in that part of the city whore property
is now subject to taxation without the
benefits of open streets. For instance,
Barnard street. just beyond Anderson, is
still virtually closed by the street rail
way lot. and Ninth and Tenth streets
and other streets in the neighborhood are
not opened through in some places.
The city owns or controls the right Of
way for East Broad street from Ander-
son to the southern limits, and some time
since it was understood that that street
was to be opened up at once, but it seems
the scheme was merely a flash in the
pan" There is not a street or roadway
between Bull street and the Waters road
opened through to the city limits, al
though the owners of property in that
section are made to pay taxes on vacant
lots at fun valuation. 1t would seem that
property which is already paying city
taxes should be provided with street ac-
commodations before streets are opened
for the benefit of property which is nos
upon the city tax books. The city should
return value received to its taxpayers in
the southern section before reaching out
to benefit those in the eastern section
Doubtless the extending of Henry strees
would be conducive to the growth of the
city, and the street should be opened; but
why not open oiher streets where
the rights of way have been secured with
out the expenditure of money, and where
the owners are paying taxes without re-
ceiving the benefits of open highways?

New Orleans Not Alarmed.

The people of New Orleans do not APP
pear to be alarmed by the ep, demic of few
er which prevails at Ocean Springs, al
though the latter place is only about 100
miles from their city. and is one Of their
chief summer resorts. And there is no
good reason why they should be. The
fever is of an exceptionally mild type
1t attracted attention as far back as July
s. 1t was not thought TO be yellow fever
then, and there are those competent 70
give an opinion in respect to 1t who are
stiH in doubt as to its nature. II the
physicians of any part OF th.s country are
informed in respect TO the symptoms of
yellow fever those of Ocean Springs, Bill
oxi, Pass Christian, Bay St. Louis and
New Orleans are. They have seen a great
deal of that fever at least tho older ones
have, ana hence ought to be well acquaint-
ed with it. Until about 1880 yellow fever
appeared in New Orleans pretty nearly
every year. 1t attracted only little atten-
ton unless it threatened to become cpl
demic, and the physicians seldom or never
made a mistake respecting its epidemic
features
The physicians Of New Orleans are
clearly Of the opinion that their city will
not be visited by an epidemic of yellow
fetfr this year. And the reports indl-
cate that they do not believe there will
be an epidemic Of the disease anywhere in
abe Cuff states outside of Ocean Springs
The Philadelphia expert, Dr. Geteras,
has found very few cases at ocean Springs
Of what he considers to be genuine yellow
fever. 1t may turn out, therefore, that
the Ocean Springs scare has very little
Foundation. II the epidemic is one of yell
low fever it does seem strange that the
character of the disease was not suspect
ed until a full month after it had made
its appearance, and, that too, in the face
Of the fact that the Ocean Springs physl-
clans know yellow fever when they see It
and the summer residents of the place
from New orleans are more or less famil-
lar with it, The people of the Gulf coast
towns and cities win hardly become yell
low fever refugees unless the Ocean
Springs epidemic becomes much more Sc
rious than it IS at present.

Various enemies of Grover Cleveland, at
sundry times and places and with many
embellishments, have asserted that he was
worth several millions of dollars and hint
ed that he did not acquire his wealth in a
strictly honorable manner. There have
been mean insinua tons of various sorts of
deals, too low to be dignihed with denials
by the friends Of that great man. Now,
however, we have the calumnies forever
set at rest by the sworn statement of Mr.
Cleveland himself to the tax authorities
Of Mercer county. N. j.. where he is now
living. His real estate and personal prop
erty he declares to be worth $4,000, as
near as he can estimate, a present values
Thus il appears that he is not only not a
millionaire, but not even a rich man, as
rich men are estimated in these days. This
exposure OF the falsity OF their assertions
and insinuations should make his traduc-
ers hide their heads in shame.
