Wasps.

1t Is asserted by a correspondent Of
the Gardeners Chronicle that wasps
not only devour ripe fruits, such as
apricots, grapes and pears, but that
they extend their ravages to rosebuds
and blown roses. The blossoms and
buds covering two iourishing rose
bushes belonging to him were destroyed
by wasps, in spite Of the battle which
he waged with the insects Cor the pres
ervatiop Of his flowers.

A Queer Epitaph.

In a cemetery in Solomon City, Kan,
there is a small tombstone erected over
a child's grave, seemingly by its pa
rents, which bears this most singular
inscription: "A little weazen-faced
baby, head too big for its body; two
great staring eyes seeming to wonder
why it was born"

He Wants Moro Speed.

A Washington correspondent tells OF
a Western Congressman whom he once

have speed in our new Ships" he said;

never build another cruiser that could
sail less than twenty fathoms an

Gold Standard and Defeat.

Hon. William E. Chandler, of New
Hampshire, one of the leading Repub-
lcans of the party, and United States
Senator, says:-As to the elections they
prove with reasonable clearness that if the
Republican party permanently acquiesces
in the existing gold standard and gives
up the struggle for bimetallism that party
will be defeated in the Congressional
elections of 1898 and in the Presidential
election of 1900"
The Republican party has given up the
struggle and has come out for the gold
standard from the President down to the
smallest pot-house politician, and it is
failing and has failed to fulfill every
promise made during the election cam
paign of 1896 and the elections which
have taken place in 1897 show overwhelm,
ing losses to the party everywhere. The
party held its own in Maryland better
than anywhere else, only because the
Democratic party in place of presenting
the Chicago platform allowed German to
present himself That is what beat the
party in Maryland. Had silver, in place
of German, been held up before the peo-
pie the Republicans would have met a
crushing defeat in this State. If German
is set up next year in place of free coinage
the Republicans will sweep the state
easily.

What | Want for Christmas.

If l had the power to produce exactly
what want for next Christmas, I would
have all the kings and emperors resign
and allow the people to govern themselves.
1 would have all the nobility drop their
titles and give their lands back to the
people. 1 would have the Pope throw
away his tiara, take off his sacred vest
ments and admit that he is not acting for
Gods not infall;ble-but is just an
ordinary Italian. I would have all the
cardinals, archbishops, bishops, priests,
and clergymen admit that they know
nothing about theology, nothing about
hell or heaven, nothing about the destiny
of the human race, nothing about devils
or ghosts, gods or angels. 1 would have
them tell all their CLOCKS" to think for
themselves, to be manly men and woman
" women. and do all in their power to
increase the sum of human happiness.
l would have all the professors in col
leges, all the teachers i'll schools of every
kind, including those in Sunday schools,
agree that they would teach only what
they know, that they would not palm off
guesses as demonstrated truths.
l would like to see all the politicians
changed to states:nen,-to men who long
to make their country great and free,-to
men who care more for public good than
private gain-to men who long to be OF
use.
l would like to see all the editors of
papers and magazines agree to print the
hut t1,a fn avoid
all SANDER and Misrepresentation, and to
let the private affairs of the people alone.
I would like to see drunkenness and
prohibition both abolished.
would like to see corporal punishment
done away with in every home, in every
school, in every asylum, reformatory. and
prison. Cruelty hardens and degrades,
kindness reforms and ennobles.
I would like to see the nlillionalres
unite and for trust for the public good.
1 would like to see fair division of
profits between capital and labor, so that
the toiler could save enough to mingle a
little Tune with the December of his life.
l would like to see all international
court established in which to settle dis
putes between nations, so that armies
could be disbanded and the great navies
allowed to rust and rot in perfect peace.
would like to see the whole world free
free from injustice-free from super
stition.
This will do for next Christmas. The
following Christmas l may want more

President Young had wired Sheridan
Thursday afternoon to report at some other
city, at that time not being aware of the
trouble in Pittsburg.
Later in the evening Sheridan replied
TO Mr.. Young's telegram requesting that
he bc permitted TO remain in the Smoky
City, no dolbt desiring to demonstrate
that he had sand enough TO face an unruly
crowd and umpire the game, rotten eggs
TO the contrary Notwithstanding. Presi-
dent Young was SO much taken 10y the man

what hehad asked, and Sheridan umpiredin

way that usually chaTacterizes his work.
II is more than likely that the League
officials wiz take action in Hawley's case
after they have the evidence necessary TO
properly judge the whole affair If they act
promptly and justly they will be commended
by every respectable admrer OF the great

saults an umpire should be expelled from
the League. No matter how valuabk. he is
10 the club, his dismissal would be iusti-
fable. Only one lesson would be necessary

Tom Brown and the other members OF
the Washington Baseball Club who, with
exceptions, j. Earl Wagner has dubbed
cutters, did not play in the League circuit
yesterday. They evidently took d rest Ill
the Mound City, an d those who had a notion
that they could pick winners went TO the
races. AS that occupa ton is consider
ably more difficult than pla ying baseball,
the chances are on form they Were not
successful.
1t was learned last night that Mr.. Wag-
Der, owner, is now somewhere looking
after additional material and win spring
the new faces on the public when the team
opens here next Wednesday. 1t is not
known who he is after, but as there is a
universal demand for changes in the in
and outfieId, it seems that four Inen are
required who can materially strengthen
the team.
The most ardent rooters of the home team
are in hopes that Mr.. Wagner, knowing
what cutters are, win not land any more
OF that kind of men. There are plenty of
the scrappy kind, on the Tucker order,
andit vas thought that hen he purchased
the Beaneaters release he would not stop
then and there. but keep up the good work
1t seems, however, that about that time
he was influenced by a feeling held by
old players against youngsters SO decidedly
prevalent not only in the Washington. but
in most every teamin the major League.
President Young is having his troubles
just now with the umpires. The useless
protesting Of players has been so frequent
that the veteran head of the National
League hardly know & which way 10 turn.
However, he has one or two men on his
staff who have plenty of sand. One of
these is Sheridan, who officated at Pitts
burg on Thursday and was shamefully
treated by Pugilist Hawley and several
citizens of Smoketown apd vicinity, who
bombarded the umpire with eggs With n
bad odor.
Sheridan, however, had the requisite
nerve, and manfully stood up against the
