ANsoN YET UNDECIDED.
Will Know After Christmas Whether
He VIII Play Bail AGAIN.

Chicago, Dec. 21.-After a brief stop
in New York, Captain Anson has re-
turned to this city.
What about the reports of YOUR re-
tirement from the Chicago team ?' was
asked of Arson today.
You'll have to ask Spalding or some
of the people higher up about that" he
said. 1t is something which is in
their hands. I suppose 1 shall be con-
suited about it, but the settlement
rests with them
Have you any thought of mana aging
a western league team?'
The National league is good enough,
isn't it? Pretty good, should think.
L wouldn't want a western league team
no matter what town it was in. I'm
not looking backward. They have plenty
of managers in the western league,
haven't they? No; am not seeking in
that direction nor considering any Of
fers.''
In view of the reports of Chicago
baseball affairs Captain Anson's man
ner, rather than what he said, gave the
best index of his state of mind He
appeared to feel that there was still
lots of ball playing left in him and
wanted to continue, but yet seemed
conscious there was more likelihood of
his being retired than ever before This
he seemed to contemplate with a kind
of sad seriousness which all men feel
in giving up the work they have been
engaged in all their lives.
Mr.. Spalding, when asked about the
same matters, said:
Ihe Whole thing as yet is in a state
or negotiation. The rumOrS of AnSOn'S
retirement, 1 suppose, are revived lust
now because his ten years contract
with the club expires this year The
question will be decided at the meeting
which Will take place shortly after
Christmas 1 can give no forecast of
what will be done. but can say this
much: Anson will surely be consulted
in the matter and his wishes taken into
consideration. AS to what will finally
be done, you'll have to ask Hart. He's
the Chicago club and he'll know more
about it. If they don't want Arson to
continue with the club I am sure he
would be the last one to seek to re-
main"

THE FAvOR1TE GAME.
A Little Rough, but q Good Test of
American Endurance.

Football has grown in favor in Amer
lea until today it occupies most prom
inent place in athletic sports.
twenty-five thousand people recently
witnessed the game at New Haven be-
tween Yale and Princeton.
The work is tremendous and requires
young men of powerful physique and
good strong hearts and lungs.
The trainers quite universally forbid
the use of coffee because of its effect
on the heart.
A majority of the best and most
careful trainers are pronounced in their
recommendation of Postum Food Cof-
fee because it gives the athletes a
warm, delicious beverage, and. better
than that, it supplies in liquid form
the selected food elements, which ma
ture uses to build in nerve and muscle.
The careful selection of food for
powerful athletes furnishes a lesson to
the less powerfully built brain worker
who really needs more care in the Sc
lection of food than does the strong
man who can make a pretty good at
tempt at digesting almost any sort of
food.

TREASURY DEFICIT Is OLD
How George Seward Saved the States
Credit in 1896

r. S. Semple, who is collecting sta
tistics intended to show that the last
Republican administration paid for
contract work which was never done
and violated the state law by ordering
work on the building done when there
was no money in the treasury for the
purpose, says he has discovered that
the deficit in the treasury, about which
the Republicans complain so much, ex-
1sted one year ago, when the RepubIi-
can administration was in power.
A bundle of vouchers in the state au-
ditor's office, amounting to $4,000, were
paid during August, September and Oc-
tober, 1896, by George NJ. Seward. as
sistant state treasurer, out of his own
pocket.
Mr.. Seward filed the vouchers away,
and when the money came in after the
first of the year, he presented the war
rants for payment, and they are now
on file in the office of the auditor, bear
ing Mr.. Stewards Endorsement and re-
ceipt.
The warrants were not paid for want
of funds belonging to the state, but
no announcement of that complication
was given to the public. Mr.. Seward
saved the credit of the Republican ad
ministration with his private funds,
and the deficit which existed at that
time, was carried over and unloaded on
the Populist administration, which is
charged by Republicans with the re-
sponsibility of creating it.
This discovery" said Mr.. Semple,
places the responsibility where it be-
longs and shows exactly when the de-
felt existed. The Populists are not in
any way responsible for it. The diff
Guilty lies with the Republican legisla-
ey away by paying for work which was
never dOne.''

New York. May 26.-The cotton market was uninteresting today. The sales were small and the fluctuations narrow. Liver pool declined 1 to 11s sixty-fourths. Ihe spot business thsre was very restricteo, Our market opened from points down 10 z points up. The first sale of August was at 71S The offerings were light and after the opening prices advanced, August touching 7.22. But the trading was almost entirely local and the advance was not sustained. In the last half hour the bears made weak attempt to raid. On the market August de- clined to 7.16 and closed at 7.17 fiat, with the tone of the market steady. Southern ad- vices still complain that the weather is too cool for the young plants, but the general belief in a probable monster yield remains unshaken. RIORDAN &CO. :.
