CLOSING Up BUSINESS.
Minor Lcaguers Sny UncOmplime ntary
Things About the Big League.


The Eastern Base Ball League magnates
finished their labors in New York last
night. The question of the makeup of
next years circuit still hangs fire and will
not be decided for some time to come. 1t
is more than probable that the Scranton
team will not be included in the schedule.
The league concluded to leave the matter
70 the clubs for decision. This means that
the Scranton team will go. The present
owners are willing to sell.
Worcester Newark and Rochester are
after the franchise, and it was said that
the Newark representative would get the
plum. The question will be decided by
II all vote.
The drafting question was discussed. No
action was taken, but many uncompli-
mentary things were said against the
policy of the major body. At the recent
National League meeting the Eastern
League owners asked that the national
agreement be amended SO as to provide
that not more than two players from one
class A minor league club may be drafted
in one season. and that no player shall be
subject to draft who has not been on the
reserve list of the minor league club for
two years.
The major league decided to accede to
the request. but put in clause whereby
the big league may, after having negotiat-
ed with a minor league club for the re-
lease of player. deposit the stipulated
price with the president of the league and
take the player. In case, after a trial of
thirty playing days, the club decides to
keep the player, then the president shall
pay over to the selling club the purchase
price, but in case the player does not suit
the big clubs want the privilege of return
ing the player and put down the price
agreed upon.
1t was said that the Western League
owners agreed to this proposition, but a
telegram from President Ban johnson last
night seems to set this rumor at rest. The
telegram asked that the delegates sent to
Buffalo by the Eastern League to attend
the conference between the eastern and
western organizations be empowered to
vote upon the drafting question. This con-
ference will be held within the next month
Arthur Irwin escaped the wrath of his
brother "magnates'' without even being
closely questioned as to the charge that
his Toronto club was farm for Washing
ton No specific charges were made The
league voted. however, to enforce the rule
against farming. The question as to the
ownership of the Steinert cup for the
coming season also resulted in a victory
for Irwin.
The selection of umpires for 1893 was
left to Mr.. Powers, who was unanimously
Reelected president for his sixth consecu-
tive term.
The following were elected to serve on
the board Of directors: p T. Powers. Il
F. Bogart, James Franklin, c. T. Shean,
and George w. Cameron. Messrs. Irwin
Shean and Bogart were elected to serve
on the committee on amendments to the
constitution.
The delegates to confer with the West
ern League representatives will be chosen
by Mr.. Powers later.

the Nahna may be said TO possess a more

The apparatus used for freezing water

New York Letter to the Detroit Journal.
More German papers than Of any other
foreign language are published in New
York, the number being twenty-seven.
Some of the daiifes, like the Stats lei
tnng, are of wide circulation and influence
and are as much entitled to be termed
Newspapers as any of the great English
dailies, since they spend money lavishIy for
news and pay their editorial writer's well.
Some others, such as the Volks Zeltung
daily. and the Vorwaerts Saturday edition
of the same paper, are chiefly Of a propa-
gandist nature, these particular journals
being devoted largely to the spreading of
socialistic doctrines German labor unions
have their organs. too. such as the Ger
man-American Butchers Journal and there
are many class journals, instances being
the Amerikanisch Schweizer Zeitung print
ed in German for the Swiss; the Belletris-
tiches Journal, a literary weekly; the Medi-
cinische. Der Techniker, a scientific jour
nal. etc.
When the list was made out, there were
thirteen offices from which newspapers and
periodicals printed in the Hebrew char
acters are issued, but, owing to the prac-
tice Of getting OUT daiiies, weeklies and
sometimes monthlies from the same Office
there are more than thirteen titles. Some
of these publications are newspapers pure
In character, and m0ge are soc:alistic. Das
Abend Blatt Is one of the latter. 1t has
comparatively large circulation and is
said to be conducted with ability. None OF
tine publications printed in the Hebrew
characters could well be read by a student
since few among New York's Hebrew resi-
dents can read their own language their
medium of speech and writing being that
curious thing termed 'Yiddish."

GLASS Knobs FrO9n Mount Vernon,

washington Letter in Chicago Record
On the posts of onk Of the old beds in
the mansion at Mount Vernon are small
glass knobs with sockets drilled into them,
winch Mt little spikes. but do not fasten on
1t is perfectly natural for 9isitors to place
their hands upon the knobs, and those who
90 Immediately perceive that they can be
taken off. The next step is to slip them
quietly into the pocket and carry them
away as relics of the sacred place. Al
though an attendant Is employed to watch
ms room there are so many visitors that 1t
IS impossible for him to prevent such pill
lerlng, and the glass knobs have to be re-
paced Two or three times week during
.he pusy season. but that costs very little
troubie and expense. A factory near Pitts
burg turns them out FOR 30 cents a gross,
ana Mr. Dodge Is In the habit of ordering
Darrel OF them every spring. There are
several thousand of these glass knobs seat
tered over the world, in museums and pri-
vate collections of mementos and his
torical relics. Many more are doubtless
concealed Tor reasons of conscience and
rear OF discovery, but the guilty persons
need nave no concern. The original knobs
that belonged to the bed are safely laid
away In vault and IL they need more of
the same KIND they can order them from

Married the Wrong Man.

A strange case Of matrimonial duplicity
has come to light in the district court of
Woodbury. county, Iowa. A woman OF
Sioux City discovered that she had been
Joined in wedlock with the wrong man.
or at least not with the man she supposed
she was marrying.
In August. 1895. Emma B. Larson was
married in this city to a man whom she
supposed to be F. ]. Schultz. She says she
was not well acquainted with him when
she entered into the marriage contract but
thought he was all right. She afterward
learned that Schultz and another man
named Julius Karash lived at westfield, N.
" and were distant relatives. Although she
did not know Schultz personally. she knew
of him. and this became known to Karash.
The latter came to Sioux City. was intro
duced to Miss Larson as Schultz, and final
ly married her under that name. She lived
with him for several months before she
found out her mistake. and then threatened
him with legal process for hts duplicity.
He promptly left her. and she thinks he
has gone back to New York. However.
before he left. she says. he took 500 of her
money. saying he would invest It for her.
She now asks that she be granted . de-
cree OF divorce, and that she b permitted
