Benin In 1890.


Civilization In Benin has clearly ret
regarded rather than advanced during
the last seventy n eighty years.
Among the few travellers who made
their way to Benin in the earlier years
OF the century was Mr.. John King, O
lieutenant In the Royal Navy, who
visited the place In 1920. The traveller
was received in a singular, though
amicable, manner by the King Of Be-
min. During the interview, n OF thu
Kings arms was stretched out hort
zontally and supported by a great Of
ficer, and the nail on n finger Of each
hand had been suffered to grow to a
great length to indicate that his high
station placed him above the necessity
OF labor" The King had at that time
1000 wives. but some Of these he would
give, upon occasion to any subject who
had performed exceptional service.
The practice of making human sacri-
fees was uniformly denied by the
tives, and Lieutenant King does not
seem to have witnessed any scenes Of
bloodshed while he remained in the
country. The traveller wal introduced
also to the Queen-Mother, who lived
In q separate court just outside the city.
The Queen Mother. like her son the
King. had nj Of her arms supported
by an attendant. She entertained
Lieutenant King with kola-nut and
other refreshments. and asked him in
Vulnerable questions. The Queen
Mother of Benin was dressed In clothes
OF European silk, and she wore n
broad brimmed lace hat IN her head.
Altogether, the city. with Its wide,
straight streets and meat and hand.

very favorable impression pom the

The Noted House Where He turned the
Financial Corner.
The homes of men Of place. power,
and position have always had. ms Is
natural. some peculiar fascination for
the world at large. Lately the build
er has been busy upon n house that
is situate Immediately to the south
east Of Marylcbone church, London, in
a singularly quiet little street called
Devonshire terrace. That house was
the residence of Charles Dickens, from
the year 1889 to the year 1850. "He

Forster. perhaps for the bit Of ground
attached to 1t; and II was with regret

The BaltImores This Year.

All the regular men OF the old team
seem to Justify the anticipation that
they have not deprecated, and some
of the younger ones will in the nature
of things be better. Nothing definite
can be told Of the youngsters until
they 60 through a season. Young
blood usually does wonderful things
in the privacy Of the practice grounds,
but when they face the big league
teams In the presence OF assembled
thousands there is occasionally a dif-
ferebt story to tell. So. all that can
be said Of untried talent Is that It Is
promising; and II you have noticed,
spring practice always makes every
one of them that.
There were some heartaches in town

Corbett had become 80 respondent over

similarly under existing circumstances.
But w major league men do not want
to see Rusie kept out of the game any
longer, and are also DESTROYS of helping
the New York Club in Its dilemma.
We do not care, either, to have the
reserve rule put to the test In court,
and believe that some compromise
should be arrived at. At the recent
major league meeting Wagner and !
protested against allowing Rusie's suit
for release from reservation to &C to
trial. but as the New York Clubs rep
~resentatives declared that they would
fight the case to the bitt or end We sus-
tanned them by a unanimous vote.
Shortly after that Wagner and l con-
ceived the idea Of compromising mat
tiers with Rusie himself, and as a result
a number Of magnates held a consul
tation in Washington. 1t was suggested
at that time that Rusie's back salary
might be made up by the various clubs
outside New York, which would act as
a sort Of balm for the players feelings
and make II an easy matter for him to
sign a New York contract. Some of
the men present objected to this plan,
but they agreed in the point that m
thing should be done to prevent the
reserve rule from being put on the
rack. As the matter stands now, 1t
looks as though some other agreement
might be reached between some Of the
major league clubs and the player,
providing one Of the clubs will make
the first love. AS John T. Brush is a
heavy stakeholder In the New York
Club, 1t appears to many that he Is the
nan to take the initiative. Possibly
We have no right to interfere with the
affairs OF the New York Club in this
matter, for the club is undoubtedly
right in the stand originally taken
againstRusie. For the good of the game
and the protection Of the fundamental
rule which governs professional base
ball, we feel that something should be
done. II Rusie remains idle another
season he will lose whatever effective
pitching strength he may have left
which would be a blow to the New
York Club, without a doubt. Presiden,
Freedman cannot very well recede from
the position he has taken all along
as he Is In the right, no Doubt: bu'
there Is no reaso why we should moi
induce the pitcher to give in, by ont
means or another"

Rsdbourue's Widow.

Two detectives arrived in Providenc.
recently from Bloomington, ILL.,, the
home of the late Charles Radbourne,
the widely known league ball player,
and at once began an investigation to
determine II he was legally married to
Mrs. Carrie ~Stanhope. 1t was fully
eleven years ago that Mrs. StanhOpe
and Radbourne left Providence and
went out to Bloomington, where the
latter's relatives live. Since then they
have been known az man and wife.
Since Radbourne's death Mrs. Stan
hope has asked for letters Of admins
tration upon the estate. The Rad
bournes allege that Mrs. Stanhope has
no claims as a widow. The detectives
assert that no marriage ever took place
In the west. There Is q hotel and con
siderable property at stake. The Prov
idence Evening Journal gives the fol-
lowing additional details: Hugh ].
Carroll has been retained In this state
to see what ear be learned concerning
R%adbourne's matrimonial experiences.
So far It has been impossible to find

on the question, and Mr.. Carroll has
about concluded that there is no rec
ord extant in Rhode Island Of the cere-
mony that made Radbourne a benedict.
It Is supposed here that the woman
who is said to have asserted her rights
to Radbourne's property Is Carrie Stan
hope, once a prominent figure In town.
She had a place at the corne Of Union
and Washington streets In the Bowery,
and occupied the upper part of the
building, which was the old Col. Ross
mansion. She came from Newport.
She was the wife of Charles Stanhope,
and had a son. Charles, by him. Her
maiden name was Clark. She had q
sister, Julia, who lived In Providence,
and later went west. 1t is reported
that Julia while on a visit to this city
some years ago declared that Carrie
had been married to Radbourne In H.
linois or some other state out tina;
way, and that people in this direction
knew nothing about the affair. 1t Il
