A UNION OF PLAYERS
In the National League at the Close OF the
Present Season is a Strong Probability.
The Causes.

i
Present Season is a Strong Probability.
The Causes.
St Louis. April 26.-The Post Dis
patch to-day says: If coming events
cast their shadows before. the end of
the base ball season just commenced
will witness one of the strongest coali-
tons of players that has ever existed.
not excepting the Brotherhood, which
seeded from the magnates and organ
lied a league of its own. The peculiar
conditions existing between the play
ers and the magnates are responsible.
primarily the reserve rule which
converts a sllillful ball player into a
chattel who can be sold and forced to
play with a team obnoxious to him and
with no voice in the matter; the agree
ment between the club owners regulat-
ing salaries: the power to fine, suspend
and discipline a player and with no re-
dress to the reformer from the con-
seQuent less of salary, and several
other grievances, among which are the
docking of men when unable to play
from injuries received in the game are
the causes which ase compelling the
active agents of the pastime to band to-
gether for self preservation.
The players believe, and with the
best of reasons, too, that with the sup
port of the men who constitute the
strength of the various teams, as an
organized body behind them, that the
rights of individuals would command a
consideration that does rot now exist.
This sentiment is growing tast and the
trail of the Chicagos lies over it all.
Just why this team should be the cru
saders in the movement it IS hard to
say.
capt. Arson is we'll aware Of the
feeling which exists. OF course, l
know there is a revolt he said, when
approached to-day.
CLARK Griffith is at the head of the
mutineers on the Chicago team, and he
has some willing lieutanants. Ihey
have been doing missionary work IN
Cincinnati. and | understand, intend 10
try il here, but let me say this, ana the
Captains face took on a serious eX-
preston. The ringleaders are known.
The League has spoilers everywhere
and no steps can be taken without the
club owners being posted as TO every
detail"
He intimated that it would be I'M
pleasant for the player who became too
Jealous in his reform movement.
The Brotherhood, the Captain said
in conclusion. was still enough OF re-
cent disaster to cite as an instance OF
the big Leagues ability to hold It's own
and weather all gales stirred up by
players
Clark Griffith, the pitcher Of whom
Captain Arson was so open in speak
ing of as the big chief Of llickers, is the
only man on the White Stocking team
who has not yet written his name on a
contract. 1t is understood Griffith is
holding out for $500.
In conversation. three or four OF the
Chicago players admitted that they eX-
pected to keep up the work and lose no
opportunities to gain converts. The
men would not say what policy they
would follow in case the magnates de-
clined to hear their grievances and
satisfy or partly satisfy their requests.

Sir Edward Arnold has written beau

Everyone goes there while in Honolulu,

sweeps the whole island. The land
slopes slowly to the sea on the south
for seven miles, and is occupied by
small farms of Chinese, japanese and
Kanakas. The farm of each nationality
may be recognized by the mode of irri-
cation and the crops grown. To the
north there is a sharp descent of fifty
degrees, right down over 1900 feet. The
whole island is spread before ones gaze
A mile away are hundreds of acres OF
green cane plantations, close beside
them are groves of cocoanuts, farther
away are the fields of rice, and round
about are pineapple farms. That area OF
dark green away off in the distance Is
coffee plantations. Streams of water

there, In the distance is the blue ocean
as smooth as a mill pond as far as the

However, IT is not the servants that
make housekeeping in London much
more difficult than il is in New York
We still adhere, TO the good old belief
that the servants are in. the house fol
our convenience, not we for theirs; and
they must conform to our customs OF

bine to make housekeeping harder here

climate. Climate is the great factor ir

shopkeepers buy from the market, and,
as they are regular customers. the
marketmen cannot afford to hurt the
shops trade by underselling them.
NO RETAIL MARKETS.
mo there are only two kinds of
places here for the housekeeper to buy
her food-the stores or the shops. Per-
haps you do not understand the dis
tinction we make between stores and
shops. A big concern where you can
buy everything meat, vegetables,
fruit silks, laces, bonnets, clothes, bi-
cycles, cigars, crockery, like your de-
partment stores in America-we call
store. The small place that sells only
meat or vegetables or stationery or
shoes is a shop. In the absence of re-
tail markets all provisions must be
bought either from a store or a shop.
In the army and navy stores, and the
civil service stores, and such places as
Shoolbred's, we can buy anything we
need under one roof. But for the army
and navy and civil service stores one
must be a member. and have a ticket.
And most people live so far away from
them that daily visit is next to impos-
sible. That is one of the disadvan-
tages of such a large city. So most of
us are driven to the shops. Have you
learned the names of the various kinds
of shops?
"Oh, have learned a few dozen out
landish Names" ths American replied.
"Cheesemonger, for instance; he's the
fellow who sells cheese. butter eggs,
and so on. And greengrocer; he sells
vegetables. And Itanan warehouse

a few olives, but sells sugar coffee, tea,
jams, jellies, and canned goods"

A FEMALE JEkYLL.HYDE.
This English Girl Possesses Marked
Dual Personality.

DR.. Wilson recently exhibited to the
London Clinical society a girl of IA,
who possesses a dual personality. In
the natural state she is a good, honest
girl, but in the abnormal condition
talks like a baby, indulges in theft
and draws good pictures, though when
in her natural condition she cannot
draw a square. She was normal up to
two years ago, when she had an at
tack of la grippe, accompanied by de-
lusions and hallucinations. and her
recovery was attended by a mental
change in which she gave fresh names
to every one, calling father Tom, her
mother Mary Ann, one brother Jim
and another Doctor Sam. She has
excited the keen interest of the faculty
and is considered the most remarkable
case of dual consciousness recorded
in medical annals. Whenever her alb
normal state was about to assert itself
she cried out: 1T is coming" push
ed aside with her feet whatever was
amusing her, shook, quivered. turned
a somersault and exclaimed. "Hallo!"
as though she had just arrived, and
when restored to her normal condition
resumes the occupation in which she
was engaged at the time of her sez-
ure,

imported eggs, we usually get from
twelve to fifteen for a shilling.
Prices? Well, our London prices
for most food products are at the very
least 20 per cent. higher than you pay
in New York-and for inferior food, as
1 regard it. Much of our beef comes
from America, and so should be as
good as yours, but our butchers do not
understand cutting 1t SO we'll. We have
no such thing as a porterhouse steak,
you know. What we call the rump
steak is supposed to correspond with
the porterhouse, but there is a vast
difference. The rump steak has no bone
in it, and it is not far removed from
what you call a round steak in Amer
let. For all the good cuts of beef we
pay from 2S to 80 cents a pound in your
money.
"You can judge most prices by the
price of beef, invariably. For good salt
pork we pay % cents a pound, and the
same for fresh pork. Butter is 2S and
80 cents pound. For new potatoes We
pay cents a pound coffee, 40 cents;
mutton, 25 cents; cream, 81 a quart, re-
duced to your currency. Good aspara-
gus is rarely less than rs cents a bunch,
and often much more. You know our
English asparagus is of no account
whatever - miserable little spindling
stuff. All the good asparagus is i'm
ported. Flour? l can hardly tell you
the price OF flour. OF course. most of
our -four is American. over there you
quote the price by the barrel, but here
we'd as soon think of buying a box of
tea as a barrel of -four. We buy
small bagful at a time-ten or twelve
pounds.
THE only approach we have here to
your comfortable American practice OF
the lady of the house going to market
in the morning accompanied by her
maid with big basket is in the French
colony. The French women bring that
| habit with them. These drawbacks
that have mentioned are only a few
of the trials Of housekeeping in Lon
| don. Our late hours make things q
little worse than they would otherwise
| be. And II is not from choice that We
are so late, but on account of our lati-
tude. You see, at this season IL is not
fairly dark here before half-past nine;
and no matter how early we dined we
would hardly care to retire until a few
hours after dark.
II think must send the maid out 20
the pork butchers for thruppence
worth of Ice. You see, have contract
ed some OF your bad American habits.
Ice water is bad for the stomach and
deadly for the liver, but II is very con-
! soling in this hot weather" 80

From the Arena.
The white people Of this country are
wofully ignorant of the true intellec-
tual status of the negro. The Southern
people boast that they are thoroughly
acquainted with the negro, but they
are greatly mistaken. Their knowl-
edge in this direction does not extend
beyond the ignorant negroes in their
employ. They know absolutely moth
ing of the educated negroes of this
country, with whom they do not come
in contact. Very few Southern white
people know that we have such schol-
arly men as Greener, Crummell,
Langston, Blyden, T. McCants Stew
art, Bishops Tanner and Lee, Bow
ems, Coppin, Reeves, f. J. Grtmke, and
Crogman, who do not suffer by COM
parison with the foremost scholars
of the nation; that we have thousands
of young men who graduated from
first-class colleges; that we have not a
few men who graduated from the same
colleges from which the greatest men
of the nation graduated; that we have
women whose literary and musical at
tainments are equal to those possessed
by the most cultured white women OF
this country; that we have over a hun
dred authors whose writings could not
be differentiated from those Of white
authors by the most critical minds;
that we have three hundred editors
who compare favorably with their
white peers in journalism.
Nor do the Southern whites put
themselves to much trouble to gain
information concerning the intellectual
statue of the negro. They will not
! visit our schools and other places
intellectually of the negro. There are
| forty-four schools in this city Jack
sonville, Fla,) for the higher training
| of the negros, and 1 venture the as
sertion that there are not half dozen
| Southern white people in Jacksonville
who have ever visited. these schools.
There is Atlanta Ca, with her Atlanta
and Clarke Universities, her Morris
Brown and her Spellman seminaries,
and her Cannon school of Theology;
and there is Nashville, Tenn, with her
Fisk, Roger Williams and Central
! Tennessee universities, with her hun
dreds of brainy Students; and yet, ex-
| cepting the few white men who have
visited these schools to see whether
not a dozen white persons in the two
placs have visited them. Nor will these
pople read negro literature. from which
they could get an idea of what the ne.
gro is intellectually.
