DIAMOND DUST.

Anson will no longer play baseball
with the Chicago club. If the word OF
one of its heaviest stockholders goes for
aught. This gentleman stated positively
within a week that Anson's contract
with the local club would not again be
renewed. He said that the veteran, an
athletic wonder, is done for. He has
outlived his usefulness, and to continue
him further in service would be open
defiance to the general clamor for his
retirement. Should the far-hcaded big
man be retired he will want for nothing,
since he is the richest player i'll America.
Those who have been in the enjoyment
of Anson's confidence assert that his be-
longngs will aggregate close on to
100000. Were he pennilcss his stock
in the Chicago Ball Club would keep
him comfortably for the rest of his days.
William T. Wardcll, who was the Pro-
hibtion candidate for mayor Of Greater
New York, was Il member of BuftaloS
first base ball club in 1866. He is now Il
prominent officer Of the Standard Oil
Company.
There is Il prospect that Il California
League will be organized Immediately
after the holidays.
Umpire Snyder has been offered the
management of the Norfolk Club next
season, but prefers position on the
National League staff Of umpires.
The majority OF the League clubs
should have a very even chance for the
pcnnant next year. The change in the
schedule plan should result in preventing
long winning and losing streaks, and
then again the season is longer, dating,
as it does, from April Is to October 10.
According to Comiskcy, the hit-and-
run sclcmc-that is the base runner
starting ut signal OF the batsman-was
worked as far back as '76 by the Chicago
Whites. Anson substantiatcs this claim.
The Cincinnati critics demand Dummy
Hov's retention in the outtield, no mat
ter what other changes may be made.
There would be no regrets if "Dusty'
Miller were fired, as he is charged with
swell-hcadcdncss.

Anson will again manage the Chicagos,

House Occupies the Morning in De
nOuncing the Senate.


Washington, March 2.-The House
was prepared for long and hard
days work when it met ut 10 O'Clock
today. Even at this early hour the rO-
tunda and corridors of the capitol
were thrOnged with sight-Seers and
the galleries crowded to repletiOn. The
traditional and long standing jealousy
between the House and the Senate is
the cause of the resolution which
DOckery, Democrat, of Missouri, i'll
trOduced at the opening of the session
asking for inquiry into the reason why
the platform upon the eastern terrace
of the capitol. where Mckinley is to
he inaugurated, was located entirely
in front of the Senate wing. Hereto
fore the platform was built out from
the main entrance and neither House
had cause to feel sighted. Under the
rules it was referred to a committee.
Richardson. Democrat, of Tennessee,
suggested an amendment to ascertain
what authority existed for the cree
ton of platform anywhere on the
piaZa. The House waited about half
IN hour for the appearance of confer
pncP rpportS. The District of Column

which came over from the Senate
were sent to the conference. Hopkins,
Republican. of Illinois. tried to get n
separate vote on the Senate PROPOSE
ton TO fix the price of armor plate at
$500 per ton. He wanted that amend
ment concurred in. He said an Hi
nois steel company was Incorporated
TO furnish the government with armor
plate for which we are paying $3.50
per ton.

rect to His Hotel.
Washington, March 2.-During the
night whistling and playing of bands
and the cheering of railroad employees
was heard at every station until short
" after daylight, when the Harris
burg station was reached. Major and
Mrs. Mckinley arose soon after leay-
ing there and breakfasted in their
own car and the other passengers
were all up early to enjoy the scenery
rs well as to partake of breakfast in
the flower laden dining room. Presi-
dent elect Mckinley and party arriv-
"a here about 11:15 O'Clock and were
driven to the Ebbitt house, where they
will be Quartered until the president
elect takes up his abode in the White
House on the afternoon of March 4.
In accordance with McKinley's ex-
messed wish. there was no escort or
display connected with his entry into
the national capital. 1t had been ar
ranged that a company of militia
should receive and escort him up the
avenue, but the preSident-elect vetoed
this program, so there was only a for
nal reception. He received the greet
ing of a small committee of prominent
local residents of Washington. There
was. of course, an informal demon
stTRtiOn by the public.

Respect for law and order has

of our beloved country brought into
closer bonds of fraternal regard and
generous cooperation.
For these great benefits it is our
duty to praise the Lord in spirit of
humility and gratitude and to offer
up to Him our most earnest suppl-
cations. That we may acknowledge
our obligation as a people to Him,
who has so graciously granted us
the blessings of free government
and material prosperity, I, William
Mckinley, President of the United
States, do hereby designate and set
apart Thursday, the 25th day of
Novembec, for national thanksgiv-
ing and prayer, which all of the peo-
pie are invited to observe with APP

"On this day of rejoicing and

perfect gift for the continuance of
His love and favor to us, that our
hearts may be filled with charity
and good will, that we may be ever
worthy of His beneficent concern.

washington, Nov. 17-Postmaster
General Gary has made his first an

notable feature is the strong advocacy
Of postal savings repositories, scheme
over which Postmaster General Gary
has worked for many months in the

time is ripe for their establishment and
that the adoption of a well organized
system would confer a great boon upon

master general says;
MANY millions Of dollars are un-
doubtedly secreted by people who have
little or no confidence in ordinary Sc

government undertook this task, the
service would undoubtedly be gladly
accepted by the people. Their faith in
the government is unbounded Their
little savings, which separately could
hardly be put out at interest, would
amount in the aggregate to a sum that
could be invested to their advantage.

A Word with You.

1t is worth your while to give at
tentiOn to some reasons why you
should be a reader of The Philadel-
phia Press.
The Press is the greatest home
newspaper of the United States. It's
record of each days events, in all
parts of the world, is more com
plete than that of any other paper.
1t has no space for sensationalism
or anything tending to lower the
moral tone.
No other Philadelphia paper has equal
facilities for obtaining prompt aud accur-
ate reports of news events, wherever they
may occur. Reporters for The Press are
in every section of Philadelphia every day; ;
special correspondents of The Press are
stationed at every county seat and import
ant town in Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Delaware and Maryland, and at every
news center in the United States and the
old world
No other Philadelphia paper
equals The Press in its special de-
partments-the woman's page the
literary page the market page the
pages devoted to church news,
school news, society news, G.. A. R.
news, sporting news, etc.
The Press is an advocate of the
principles of the Republican party,
but it prints the news Of all politi-
cal events more fully than any other
paper hence The Press should be
your pape3, no matter what your
political opinions are, if you wish to
be well informed. In word, The
Philadelphia Press prints all the
news all the time.
