A SHAKING UP.
The Phillies and St. Louis Make IN Elk.
change Of PLAYERS.


change Of Players.
Philadelphia. June The deal be.
tween the Philadelphia and st. Louis
clubs for an exchange of players, which
has been pending several weeks, went
through this evening. when Philadelphia
gave Mailman, Harley and cash bonus
for Dowd. Mailman and Harley will join
the Browns at Brooklyn. tomorrow
morning, while Dowd will report to the
Phillles in time to play. in to morrow
afternoons game with Pittsbuig.
Won der Abe wanted Grady included in
the deal, at first demanding three players
for one, but to this proposition the Phil
adelphin management would not listen.
AS 1T is, viewed from ST. Louis stand
point, Won der Abe seems to have the
better of the deal. Dowd is much faster
on the bases than Mailman, but Mailman
is undoubtedly the better fielder of the
two at second base and just about as good
hitter.
Harley is young player of great pro-
mise. He is n clever outfelder, one
of the strongest throwcrs that ever played
in the league, and at least as fast, if not
faster on the bases, as Dowd. He is n
good hitter and bunter He played with
GEORGETOWN University and Atlantic CITY.
The Philadelphia club has several more
deals pending. One of these will proba-
bly, send Pitcher Carey and Catcher
Grady to ST. Louis and another will dis.
pose of Thompson to one'of the Western
clubs. The idea of so many changes is to
get rid of some men who have been here
too long and TO secure new blood. Such
changes. it is thought, will benefit all the
clubs interested in the deals. The three
clubs with which Philadelphia are now
negotiating are st. Louis, LOUISVILLE and
Cleveland.

Crazy scheme.

mckinney, Texas. December l2.-Recont-
~ the editor OF the populist organ in this
county SHE'D letter OF inquiry to
United States Senator Marion Butler con-
eerhing the latter's opinion OF matters in :
.erhal of the populst fold. The following
iaeonic reply has just been received, in
winch the distinguished pop expresses him
self In vigorous terms:
Mr.. +. c. Thompson. Mckinney, Texas.
United States Senate, Washington II. c..
december MY Dear Sir. Your letter
received. The proposition to nominate a
presidential candidate in April OF next
year Tor the campaign OF 1900 Is. to my
mind, one OF the craziest propositions |
nave heard. To say that such proceeding
would be wise would be to say that we
mad discovered a man for candidate who
was bigger and stronger than the populist
platform. 1t would stop the campaign OF
education and shift the discussion OF is
sues to discussion Of men, The enemies
OF the principles of the peoples party could
not be better pleased, for they can not
race and discuss our principles without
being worEted
Permit me to call your attention to an
EDITORIAL in the last issue of the Caucasian,
which expresses my views on this matter
little more at length with be.t wishes,
am yours very truly, Marion Butler.
