Controller Fitch gave out the following statement
last night:
controller Fitch said to-day that the reason he
had not been able TO recognize the certificate Of tho
secretary Of the State Commissioner OF Prisons in
regard to convict-made goods was that the law.
Section o5 Of Chapter 40 of the laws OF lsss-spe-
officially required such a certificate to be made a.
an act of the Commissioner, and 1t could not,
therefore, be delegated to subordinates

Electric Pacemnker.

Cycling Gazette.
1t is generally agreed that the limit of hui
man speed has been almost reached, and
if, when the limit shall nave been touched,
it is desired to secure even faster records,
pacemaking by mechanically propelled vehi-
Giles will become a necessity. What, then,
could be more satisfactory or liable to give
better service than pacemakiEg machines
driven by electric power, a power the
strength of which cannot be estimated?
Steam has so many disadvantages that
its use is growing less and less with each
succeeding day, while electricity continues
constantly to surprise the world, to increase
in popularity and to be in greater and
greater demand. 1t appears, therefore, that
able.
on the other hand, the first experiment
with electricity has been successful, and
worlds records have been broken by it's
use. If at the first trial electric ~pacemaking
machines develop greater speed than has
we not safely expect still greater develop
ments when inventive genius is applied for
the purpose of perfecting the driving appa-
ratuS?
There are now on the path in this and
European countries a dozen or more famous
record breakers who are known to have fol-
lowed the fastest pace they have ever been
given without exertion or inconvenience.
They have no detini idea of their speed
nor know what they could do If a Swifter
pace were placed before them. In the words
of the celebrated Dave Shafer, trainer,
manager and race-meet promoter, when
they're on they're on. and they amt no
quad can shake 'em." To such men as
these electric pacemaking would be a dis
tinct relief from the tedious bonds of hui
man speed and strength, SO far as pace
makers are concerned. Since it is skill in
generalship rather than any other quality
that marks the pace record breaker, what
is to prevent such experienced followers of
pace as Johnny Johnson, Jimmy" Mi
w. w. Hamilton from riding behind an
electric machine Keeling off mites in lis, or
covering a distance of thirty-seVen or thir-
ty-eight miles in an hours timer
Electric pacemaking has a brilliant fu-
ture. It's possibilities are limitless, it's prob
abilities beyond measure, its certainties of
speculative quantity.

JAPANESE M%ONSTROSITY.
Gigantic Skeleton Taken from the
"TOmb of the Devil"

NEW YORK, May 16.-The devil is in
New York. From a tomb in Japan he
comes, and has made his headquarters with
A. L. Cochran, a pharmacist. All that is
known of his satanic majesty is that the
place where he last rested is inscribed,
THE tomb of the devil" He consists of
nothing but a skeleton, but he is more
than seven feet tall and has many human
physical characteristics The head is twice
the size of that OF a man. while the arms,
legs, thighs, ribs and other parts are al
most twice as thick and large as those in
a human body. The head is the most re-
markable part of the monster. The mouth
is nearly ten inches In width and contains
two rows of the most forbidding teeth inn
aginable. They average one and a half
inches in length and seem strong enough
to tear a mans body to pieces in a very
few minutes.
On the top of the head a pair ofhorns about
three inches in length and placed in the
devil is generally credited with having. The
oriices where the eyes have been are i'm
mense, and the general appearance OF the
head is most ferocious and forbidding. The
hands, instead Of having, four fingers and
a thumb, as in the human species, have
three growths, which may be termed fin
gers, but the ends, instead of having finger
nails, have single pointed claws. The feet,
also, are without toes, as in man, but in
stead have three groWths, each about six
inches in length, and also ending in single
claws, like those on the hands.
With the monstrosity came this eXplana-
ton from Japan: This was found some
years ago under the old temple at kutsa of
Kamadani Mura, Shukichigort. Ikino Kumi.
The temple was the one In which the eleven
| faced Kwannon was kept. 1t was a very
old temple and had been standing for many
hundred years. This temple was pulled
down. In digging out the foundation be-
fore the erection of a new temple the work
men found an old stone grave, on the cover
ing of which an inscription was noticed.
With great difficulty this was ~deciphered
and translated as follows: The tomb of
the DEVIL Further Investigation of the
grave disclosed this skeleton. Toda Ka-
kushi. director of the Washington Hospital,
says it is the skeleton of a monster who
lived many years ago IN certain parts OF
Tanan

METHODIST LAYMEN.
If Their Movement Is to Succeed They
Must Have "a

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The call that appeared in a recent number
of the Journal for a national Methodist
convention of laymen will strike the minds
of many Methodists and others as an awak4
ener. The facts which it recites cannot be
called in question. 1t is astounding to
many Of the best minds of the church that
the proposition for equal lay representation
is being voted down in the annual confer
ences, and the just rights of the laymen so
deliberately set aside. TO every thoughtful
Methodist minister the request of the lay
man for equal representation in the councils
of the church should have been hailed as
one of the most cheering of omens. 1t
means progress in every good sense of the
term, and should have been so construed by
the ministry. Under the circumstances.
then, the call for a national laymen's con-
vention seems to have full justification and
the trait of a proVidential movement.
There are many things in the temporal
economy of the CHURCH which need a severe
business review, such as the practical lay
mind only can give, and such as will place
the church in better trim for the biggest
future that was ever before any people.
And now that the movement has been
made, let the ministry of the church give it
encouraging consideration. Let there be no
f~actious opposition. and let us hope that
this preliminary Indiana convention shall be
a large and encouraging one.
An Indispensable thing will be the estab-
lishment of an independent Methodist jour
nal. 1t was only by this means that lay
representation was secured in the begin
ming. 1t will be fatal to the present move
ment TO depend upon the official press of
the church. 1t is hampered and handi-
capped, as in the nature of the case it must
be. No great movement rests easy until it
reaches its logical terminus. and this move
ment will not rest until there is equal lay
and ministerial representation in the econ
omy of the church. An Independent paper
can most surely conduct the enterprise to
its good. And the place of the publication
of that paper should be in Cincinnati or
Chicago. the present greatest centers of
Methodism i'm the Nation
Let us rejoice that this movement is be-
ing made as a part OF the great evolution
of the church, and that so far it has moved
forward without any public manifestation
of acerimination-if indeed there has been
any of a private character.

Standing of the Clubs.
CANNOT PLAY on SUNDAY.
Cleveland and Washington Players
Arrested by Police.

CLEVELAND, o., May 1.-THE police
made good their promise to prevent Sun
day baseball in Cleveland if an attempt
was made to play to-day. At the end of
the first inning between the Cleveland and
Washington teams all the players on both
sides and Umpire Tim Hurst were arrested
and taken to the Central police station,
four miles distant, where President Robi-
son gave bail for the prisoners and they
were released.
The game had been extensively advertised
and in consequence there was a big at
tendance. All the railroads ran excursions
and a large number of enthusiasts from
surrounding towns arrived in the city dur
ing the forenoon. Soon after noon the cars
running to the ball park began to be packed
and long before the hour for the game to
begin the grounds were crowded. The turn
stile showed that ten thousand people had
passed the gates. 1t was impossible to adj
nit any more without letting them on the
field, and the gates were closed. Still at
least five thousand persons clamored for
admission.
At q conference this morning a pro-
gramme had been arranged by the police
and President Robson, of the Cleveland
club. Accordingly when one inning of the
SdlIlS Ildu D6eI DldySu Il OllC6 Captain I1llS-
lish and President Robson walked on the
field. The captains of the two tearns called
their men. Robson told them to get into
their omnibuses and go to the station. AT
the first sight of the police some of the
members of the audience Kissed and yelled
put them out" but very few understood
what was happening. Most of the specta-
tors remained in their seats thinking the
players would return and the game be re-
sumed. At last it became apparent that
the game had been declared off and about
half of those present awaited themselves of
the opportunity to get their money back,
the other being content to retain the
coupons emitting them to see the game to-
morrow or the one of next day.
The players took their arrest good natur-
eddy. The buses, one i'll charge of Captain
English and the other with Deputy Super
intendent Gates and Lieutenant Warner in
charge, were driven rapidly to the Central
station, where the players and umpire were
docketed. President Robson promptly gave
bail in the sum of 500 for each player.
They were then released and went to their
hotels. The members of the teams taken
into custody were Burkett, Mexican, Sock
alexis, Tebeau, Powell, Wallace, Blake,
thinner and Wilson, of the Clevelands, and
Brown, Setback, Demontreville, Farrell,
O'Brien, Cartwright, Abbey, German and
Reilly, of the Washingtons. 1t is probable
their cases will be called in the Police
Court tomorrow morning. They may be
continued, in which event another attempt
may be made to play next Sunday, al
though President Robson has no definite
plans. 1t is announced that the players
will be arrested again next Sunday or as
many times as they try to play.

BLACKBURN ANGRY.
Spurned CarIisle's PrOfHered Hand
and Used Hot Words,

NEW YORK, May 16.-Alfred Henry Lew
is, writing to the Journal from Washing
ton, thus descants upon a sensational meet
ing between Joe Blackburn and John G..
Carlisle: And now it would appear that
a time may come when we shall have blood
on the moon 1t will be a Kentucky moon.
Blackburn is in town. So, also is that ex-
secretary of homeless policies, John G. Car
Isle. They were not looking for one an
other, but this is a small town. Black
burn not only considers Carlisle as a gener-
al traitor to his party, but holds him to be
even a more pregnant form of political
riminal still. ackbu credits Carlisle
with being the first great cause of his
(~Blackburn's) defeat for Senate reelection.
las | stated, the two men were not look
ing for each other. But they met. 1t
was on the public causeway. Blackburn
was with Senator Shoup; Carlisle was with
Senator Lindsay. AS they approached
Blackburn's eyes began to blaze. Carlisle
did not note these hate lamps burning in
the Blackburn eyes. AS Carlisle came up
he extended his hand to Blackburn. Black
burn spurned it and drove Carlisle from him
with words of vitriol. Beyond the verbal
point. however, violence did not go. Car
isle is not recorded as making any retort.
Later Blackburn talked of pistols and de-
clared that a day would come when he
would make Carlisle publicly admit that
rogue 1t is the kind of promise Blackburn
will make a lively effort to keep, and eX-
pectation is therefore on a wire edge in
consequence

The Orioles stole twelve bases yesterday.
Monroe is pitching great ball for Quincy.
Eddie Burke is hitting 'em out in fine
shape for the Reds.
Kansas City is losing more close games
than any team in the Western League.
The MiIlers are playing better ball and
there is an improved feeling up at Mime
apolis-
Ritchey has fallen off in his hitting, but
is still playing a great short for Cincin-
natl.
Third Baseman Gray had an easy job yes
terday. Not a ball was hit within his
reach.
The attendance at the big League games
Sunday was large-at Chicago 1890. Cincin-
natl IL, 900, st. Louis 5000.
Pitcher Klobedanz aided materially Sat-
urday in winning his own game from Bos-
ton, getting two two-baggers.
The Chicago and Brooklyn shortstops
were kept busy yesterday. Dahlen had nine
chances and G. Smith ten, and neither
missed one.
There wss mourning in Columbus last
night. The mighty Pete Daniels, who ex-
losing a game, had been laid low by his own
catcher.
Burkett's name is beginning to appear
very frequently in the two and three-base
hit portion of the summary. He is rapidly
getting his eye on the ball and will soon
be up among the leaders just as usual.
It's pretty tough to have a game well in
hand up to the ninth inning, as Cleveland
did that second game with Boston Satur-
day, and then lose out. Boston pounded
out four runs in the ninth and won by a
run.
To-morrow's opening game at Minneap-
oils will be played at the Grand Opera
House and as it is the first game of the
Western campaign all baseball followers
here are anxiously awaiting the outcome.
The little men will begin play at 4 o'clock.
Wednesday will be ladies' day.
Mr.. Hart must nave felt Inundated at
the close of yesterdays gam when he
counted up the base hits made off him by
Baltimore. All the Orioles, except Quinn
and Reitz, pounded him for two or more
hits-nineteen in all, for q total of twenty
three bases. Besides, he gave six bases on
balls and made one wild pitch.
The Western League directors meet at
Chicago to-day. Detroit will receive con-
siderable attention through that forfeited
game here last month and Burnett's attack
on Umpire Ebright. Kansas City will also
have its inning owing to the recent slug
ging of Umpire March out there by Catch
er Fred Lake. The action of the directors
will be awaited with much interest.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
COLUMBUS, o., May 16.-Indianapolis
won the game this afternoon through the
courtesy of Catcher Fisher, who missed
three of his hances and hus threw smil-
ing Pete Daniels down, VINO had not lost
a game this season prior to the contest of
to-day. Daniels had been found for but
three hits up to the eighth inning and with
one out Hogriever popped up a foul fly that
fell into Fishers nit without that individ-
ual taking a step. He mad a careless
muff and then 'Hoggie" cracked out a
pretty single. Flynn flew out, and Gray,
Motz and Mcfarland all hit safely, netting
three runs and the game, as Columbus
could score but once in the ninth inning.
Wolters kept the hits well scattered with
the exception of two innings and was sup
ported in fine style, some fielding of a bril-
liant order being displayed by the Hoos-
iers. They were not alone in this, as the
Senators also did a few fancy turns and,
outside of the miserable work of Fisher,
the game was all that could be desired
from a spectators point of view.
A base on balls and three hits gave the
Buckeyes two runs in the opening inning
and in the third they gained another
through a free base, a sacrifice and a sim
gle. Wood made the first hit and first run
for his team in the third when he singled,
reached second on a sacrifice, went to third
on an intield hit and scored on Hogriever's
fly that dropped safe back of second base.
He also made the second run in the fifth
when he went all the way to third on
Franks muff of a line drive and scored on
a fly out to the same field, Fisher muffing
a throw to the plate which would nave re-
tired Wood. Attendance. 1000. Score:

Cleveland Plain Dealer.

~ NANNAA - AfNAAt 80
The outbreak of the Graeco-Turkish war
found even the ~well-appointed newspaper
Offices of the metropolis without adequate
maps Of the territory in which the fighting
took place-that Is, maps adequate in detail.
There were maps galore showing the gen.
eral outline of the country and the principal
towns, but none in sufficient minute
ness to locate the shifting scenes OF opera
tions. So maps were made from the best
information obtainable, but It is needless to
say that the most of them were inaccu-
rate. Indeed. the majority Of them would
have made a Greek schoolboy stare and
lead him to believe that there was much
in the geography of his country that he did
not know. The astonishing multiplicity of
towns on the maps would have con-
founded the senses of a Greek merchant.
The fact of the matter is that news CLEANED
fresh from the field of carnage comes In
from several sources. 1t is dispatched by
courier 10 various telegraph Offices and Oft
entimes an account of the same battle
may bear different Geographic dates. 1t
therefore requires but the misspelling Of the
name Of the town in which the battle oc-
Cured to set the mapmaker all at sea. In
his zeal to graphically depict before his
readers the exact location Of the battle he
~plasters his map with names Of places that
never existed; and thus the reader reaches
the conclusion that q whole district is In
conflict, whereas the fight IS confined to one
little town. and the student of Grecian de-
yelOpment becomes much confused at the
startling array Of towns which have sprung
into existence since he last studied ge-
ography.

BLEEDING PILES

And all other forms of this common and
often dangerous disease readily cured with
out pain or inconvenience
Thousands of men and women are af-
ficted with some sort of piles. without
either knowing the exact nature of the
trouble, or knowing it, are careless enough
to allow it 10 run without taking the simple
means offered for a radical cure.
The failure of salves and ointments TO
permanently cure piles has led many to be-
lieve the only cure TO be a surgical opera
ton.
Surgical operations are dangerous to life
and moreover not often entirely successful
and at this time are no longer used by the
best physicians or recommended by them.
The safest and surest way to cure any
case of piles. whether blind, bleeding or
protruding, is to use the Pyramid Pile Cure,
composed of healing vegetable oils, and abb
solutely free from mineral poisons and OPT
ates. The following letter from a Pitts
burg gentleman, a severe sufferer from
bleeding piles. gives some idea of the
prompt, effectual character of this pile
cure. He writes:
L take pleasure writing these few lines to
let you know that did not sleep for three
months except for a short time each night
because of a bad case of bleeding piles. I
was down in bed and the doctors did me no
good. A good brother told me of the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure and bought from my drug
gist three tifty-cent boxes. They cured me
and / will soon be able TO go TO my work
again. WILLIAM HANDSCHU,
Forty-sixth street. Cotton alley, below
Butter street, P%ittsburg, Pa.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not only the
safest and surest remedy for piles, but is
the best know and most popular. Every
physician and druggist in the country
knows it and what it will do.
Send for the little book on cause and cure
of piles, describing all forms of piles and
the proper treatment.
The Pyramid can be found at ali drug
stores at 30 cents per package.
