LAYS Two EGGS A DAY.-There is q
hen in West Baltimore which seems to
say by every cackle "Im the only hen in
town" She lays two eggs every day,
and her owner, MIR. David Zacharias,
says that when she does not lay both
eggs before dusk that she will not go to
roost until the other is forthcoming.
Mr.. Z.charias's other hens went on
strike at the unusual procedure, but as
the hen ch-lays-two.eggs-a-day did
not come to time they have with COM
mon consent called the strike of and
have gone back to their one-egg laying.
The pedigree of the hen is very high.
Her mother laid two eggs day, and
was the prettiest member of the flock
belonging to Patrolman Miller, Central
district. The Zacharias hen is only
eight months old. When she began
laying she laid four soft eggs day.
Tne pace was two great, however, and
was reduced one-half. Mr.. Zlcharias
contemplates going into the egg busi-
ness wholesale and will extend his two
egg hen breed.

Baltimore. Md. April PA movement
has been well started to have the prufes-
eIunal players OF the country form an
organiz atm for what they claim is the
preservation OF their rights. Yesterday
members OF the Baltimore team received
a communication from Chicago outlining
the purposes of the movement, aud the
progress it was making. In general lines,
the Baltimore pla yers are in sympathy with
the objects sought, and, I'm a quiet way,
1t was the chi ef topic Of conversation among
them yesterday So far as the home team
goes, what is TO toe done has not crystal
lied. They have no personal grievances,
and would do nothing to disrupt the pres
ent arrangement under which baseball is
managed. AT the same time, they believe
that if the players are banded together
I'm some way, it can be Of great benefit
70 them.
The movement to get the players to-
gether into an organization has become
widespread, and every player in the coun-
tryis being asked for his ideas on the mat
ter. 1t does not seem TO be a remuneration
Of the old Brotherhood ideas, but rather
sort OF labor organization. The devlop-
ments from this matter may become Of
widesFTeadinterest. There are some things
under which the players believe they get
all the worst OF it. The local players yes
teIday refused to talk Of the matter fur
ther than to say that they had received
communications, and that the matter was
giving them serious thought. Manager
Hanlon said yesterday that he had heard
nothing Of the matter, and that he believed
there was nothing init.
IL is understood that Pitcher Clark
Griffith, .'huId-out'' of the Chicago team.
Is one OF the leaders in the movement
Griffith has found ready aid I'm the mat
ter, and the most active missionary work
has been done in Cincinnati and St Louis
Griffith is personally holding out for an in
crease in his salary.
In presenting their arguments, the ag-
t0tors point out, primarily, what they term
the injustice OF the reserve rule, which
permits a skilled pla Yer TO he sold. like a
chattel, and forced to play with a team Oh
noNiouS TO him. giving him no voice in the
matter. Other reasons OF complaint are
the agreements among the club managers
regulating salaries; the power to fine, sUs-
pend and discipline player, without any
redress, ana the docking or men who have
been injured in the game for ,he time Of
their lay-off.
II is the contention OF those who are
working up the matter that if the players
are organized, individual members viii
receive a recognition, OF which many Of
them are now deprived. II is given out,
also, that tie magnates are aware OF the
movement, and have employed spoilers

that the magnates viii fight TO the end any
such coalition of pla vprs

OF the game between the Senators and
Giants at the Polo Grounds in New York
yesterday, o. T. Caylor says:
Rain has its varied uses SO has wind.
Thesetwo elements jumpedinto the opening
championship game of baseball at the Pole
Ground at ten minutes past O'Clock yes
terday aftem Don, aud did more in the space
Of few seconds To save New York from
the onus OF defeat Uhaa all OF Capt. 10 yce's
men did in two hours. Therefore rain and
wind each deserve an assist credit in the
score Of the contest.
Sixteen thousand spectators sat and stood
for 100 painful and nerve-racking minutes
watching the Giants perform in concert
about as unscientifiCally as baseball can be
played, unless il be burlesqued. If every
body present except, perhaps few nun
dred strangers didn't know that the eXhi-
btion given by the New York team yester
dag was travesty upon their true abili-
ties, the verdict would have been handed in
this morning that eleventh place in the
race s about their destination.
The attendance was not equal to that Of
former years on opening days. 1t was not
expected TO be Monday before a general
holiday was the worst possible date that
could have been chosen for an opening in
New York. for some thousands were de-
tanned by extra work in preparing for the
closing Of business today who otherwise
would have been sure Of attendance at the
inaugural championship ceremonies.
II was peculiarly grand standCrowd. In
former years the quarter stretch'' was
before game commenced. andthe bleachers
filled before all seats n the grand stand
were taken. Yesterday Gettysburg did
not reach flood tide until nearly clock,
and when the lower grand stand was
jammed from the frontrow to the Hobbies,
with several lines standing in the rear,
plenty OF seats could be had on the left
field uncovered stand, while the right
field worshippers of Tiernan and Beckley
might, by squeezing together, have ad-
mitted few score more to the seats upon
the unsplinuered side OF the shining boards
And vet several hundred insisted on the
privilege of standing along the ropes be-
yond right field. A close calculation,
based upon the seating capacity OF the
grounds, would make the crowd number
about 10 900 persons.
The large attendance Of ladies was the
most marked feature of the day, and for
some reason unknown great ma 5ority
of them mingled with the occupants of the
lower stand, thus depicting the usually
large array Of spring hats and hornets
which have heretofore been seen in the
upper tiers. The green and purple shades
of lovely head wear set off the audience"
to the best effect, but hardly harmonized
with the yellow work upon the field.
There was a long and enjoyable concert
by the Seventh Regiment band from the
south end of the grandstand, while the
Tooters and rCoteresSes were coming into
the grounds. At twenty minutes past 3
O'Clock the band went to the clubhouse
beyond center field, and met the Giants and
a smaller number Of Washington pla yers
Both teams lined across the field in single
column, and to the typical tune of "Zanzi-

FOUND FREEDOM In PRAYER
SupplicatiOns of a Richmond Sunday
School Seemingly Answered.
Prayers for the Release of Con.
victed Murderer Followed by a
Communication of Sentence.

Richmond, Va, April GA halo OF
sacred romance hovers about the case OF
Lee Hash, who will two months hence be
released from the Virginia penitentiary
He viii owe his escape from ten years
further imprisonment to the answer to
prayer.
Hash is a young man OF intelligence and
education, is highly connected and always
bore good reputation until he got into
the trouble that sent him to State prison
He is the only son of highly respected
GIayson county couple, who are now ed
vancing in years. He was educated at
Richmond College, and, like his parents, is
Baptist. Nearly four years ago he became
involved in difficulty with a rather dcs-
peraUe man, and shot and killed his antag-
onist. He protested that ne acted in Self
defense, but was convicted OF murder in
the second degree and sent to the Ieni-
tertiary for fourteen years.
Last November, when the Baptist General
Association Of Virginia met mere, the moth
er of Lee Hash cane to attend it, and was
assigned to the home of Major Lynn, SD
perntendent Of the penitentiary. She in
terested Major Lynn in behalf Of her son,
whose exemplary conduct and efficiency
as hospital steward had already attracted
the attention OF the prison authorities, AMI
conceived the idea of asking the Grace
Street Baptist Church, with which the as
sociatiOn met, to make the liberty Of her
boy a subject OF specia! prayer. DR.. Fl latch
er laid the matter before his people, and
with fearful eyes the great congregation
joined in earnest and repeated prayer.
Time wore on and the matter somewhat
dropped out of public mind, but on Sunday,
when the SUnday-schOol lesson was Yer,
d.. Hatcher read before the Sunday-schOOl
a letter from Mrs. Hash bringing the glad
things that Gov. OFerraIl had committed
her SON s term and he would be set free
July |. BY sin gular coincidence the sub
jcCt OF the Sunday -schOOl lesson which
had just been said was Peters release rom
prison through the prayers Of his brethren.
