C. B. POWERS.

The above telegram from President
Powers, of the Interstate league, is
self-explanatory. 1t is difficult to I'M
derstand what the other troubles"
are, about which he drops hint, if Mr..
Coyle and the creditors are satisfied to
allow Torreyson- to use the ball park.
So far as local encouragement is
concerned, base ball managers have
never lacked it, but Wheeling fans"
have received poor re.~In for their
patronage. Wheeling is ready now,
as it always has been, to support a
winning club. A tail-end team, or a
second division team, will not pay
here Manager Torreyson comes to
Wheeling with an excellent record as
base ball manager, and this fact alone
will give him the confidence Of local
lovers of the game to a certain degree.
To maintain that confidence, he must
deserve'it, and the only way to deserve
it is to provide a club which will win
at least half of the games it plays.
Ginger" and strict discipline are in
dispensible requisites to success, but
it is unnecessary to mention these mat
tiers to such an experienced manager
as Mr.. Torreyson.
Torreyson's base ball career in
Wheeling opens under unfavorable
conditions. He has a hostile public
sentiment to combat, with a tail-end
team which cannot hope to get place
in the first division of clubs. Under
the circumstances, it is hardly likely
that he can make any money in Wheel
ing this season-in fact, he is reason
ably certain to lose money. If he
strengthens the team, and patrons can
feel assured of witnessing good con-
tests at the Island park, he will at
least create a favorable sentiment
which will open the way for substan-
tial returns next season.
Mr.. Torreyson fully understands the
situation in Wheeling. His future
course will determine whether he pos
sesses sufficient managerial wisdom to
make the most of his opportunities.

The Luxury of Rubber Tires.

One of the most triumphant luxuries OF
recent device is the rubber tire on carriage
wheels. A luxury triumphs when it's alb
sence betokens antiquity and decay. Even
a public cab in New York which has not
rubber tires looks ancient and second rate,
and no amount Of fresh yarnish will make
it contemporancous or restore its stand
ing. The rubber tire is the next best
thing to continuous asphalt pavements on
streets which carriages frequent. A good
deal of nonsense is written and printed
about the prospective elimination of the
horse from tho landscape Of cities. 1t is
true that the hoofs Of the horse are not
well adapted for continuous use on as
phalt, and it seems also to bo true that
nothing better than asphalt has been dis
covered for paving. If new species Of
animal could be invented that was better
suited than the horse for hauling carriages
on asphalt, the horse might be crowded
out, but there Is no prospect of the dis
covery of such beast. The camel has a
foot which would doubtless take good hold
of IA hard, smooth surface, but camels are
not pretty, and camel hauling brough-
am up Fifth avenue would probably ex-
cite dcrision. Very likely the steam or
electric carriage will have some vogue, but
1t is an ugly vehicle and probably never
can compete in style with the carriage that
Is hauled by horses -Harper's Weekly.

Booths Pointer.

The Chicago Times Herald tells a story
Of the late Edwin Booth. A reporter who
was sent to talk with him prepared an
elaborate speech OF greeting to the great
actor when he should meet him. As he
entered Booths apartments the tragedian
came forward, shook hands with him
warmly and asked him to be seated. An
awkward pause followed. At longth the
reporter began his little speech, ending
with the statement that this was tho
proudest moment of his life. Mr.. Booth
preserved an unbroken silence. Apparent
ly he was revolving In his mind what his
iallcr had said. Two minutes later no
slowly remarked, Has 1t struck you, sir,
that I'm that State street murder this morn

How soms Penobseot Indians Fitted the
Punishment Ia the Crime.


According To the books that l studied
when boy" began an oldish man at tho
club tho other night, "the Indians looked
down on their wives and made them sim-
ply boasts Of burden. That may have been
so In some places, but IL wasn't always 80
or 40 everywhere.
"A good many years ago there were
some Penobscot Indians near my peorlc's
place In New Hampshire who evidently
thought good deal Of their squaws and
made one Of the bucks appreciate tho fact
that his wife was not beast Of burden.
This buck went on what We now call bat
and got drunk-'drank too much ocoapec
and cheepie (doyiD got In him. When he
came home, he was In bad humor, and
feet In the fire and burned them off,
"The other Indians discovered this very
promptly and tried him by u very sum-
that no should be executed at once, but
one of tho elder bucks interposcd and gave
this advice: No shoot, him. Make him
live long as squaw live. Him carry squaw
when she want walk. When squaw die
bimeby, then we shoot
"This advice appealed to the other men,
and they decided to punish the buck as
the old chief suggested. So the buck car
ried his wife around on his back whenever
the tribe moved, whenever she wanted to
60 any place. So far as learned, she did
not hesitate about moving around. OF
course the buck hated to carry her, but
tho beauty Of the arrangement was that
he didn't dare to Ill treat her, much less TO
kill her. because his life depended on hers.
II she died, he knew the tribe would kill
him.
"I don't know how long this punish
ment lasted, who died first, or II after her
death he was pardoned or executed. II
