Belief Still Strong That an Eigh'
Club League VIII he Formed.

Belief still strong That IN Eight
Club League VIII he Formed.
New York, Dec. 19.-After proiong-
ed session. or rather series or SEES
sions, the baseball magnates represent
ing the IL clubs in the National league
decided that IL club schedule calling
for 1854 games should be arranged FOR
next season, and the secretary was In
structed to draft two, one for three
trips east and west and the other Tor
four trips each way. In addition to
this a Mr.. Whitehead of Philadelphia
! received similar instructions, and he
has been requested to furnish copies
of the schedules prepared by him to
the presidents or representatives OF the
70 clubs at least two weeks before the
schedule meeting in February.
While these instructions ostensibly
indicate that the playing schedule has
been arranged and that the League
will consist of ~ clubs during the sea-
son of 1899, there are many persons who
claim to have an inside knowledge OF
the state of affairs who believe that I'M
DERIVING all this there is well defined
scheme to reduce the League to eight
clubs. A ~ club league has been
found to be too unwieldly an affair to
handle, and it is the concensus OF opin-
ion that an eight club league Is essen
tial for numerous reasons.
Under the constitution of the League
special meetings can be called at any
time, and it will not surprise any OF
the interested parties if one or more
sessions are ordered specially between
now and next February.

They VIII Get Millions.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Dec. 19-The Will
of George Richardson, son Of Joseph
Richardson OF spite house" fame, was
offered for probate Saturday and ad-
mitted without objection. The testator
leaves his entire property to his wife,
Rose H., and his daughter, Anna Rich
ardson, in the manner the law for intes-
tate estates provides-one-third to the
widow and the remainder to the daugh-
ter. The will was drawn on Sunday a
week ago, the day Mr.. Richardson died.
It bears simply his mark. as he was too
feeble to write his name. 1t is estimat-
ed that Mr.. Richardson's estate will
amount to several million dollars, in
GLIDING his share in his fathers estate.

no rights when 400 books have been pur

town rather than help to buy books for

they should they would be unceremoious-

ers who evade the law in this respect,
and they must be reckoned, as far as the

Better than Mamma. .

doubtless sore troubled over the politi-
cal outlook from the republican stand
point, and wondering where some of
the boys were goisg TO get food TO take
the place OF the political pie they have
been so long accustomed TO, when all
of sudden there came crack aud
crash of shattered glass. The Judge
did not know at first whether it was
some disappointed postoffice aspirant
wreaking his vengeance by means OF q
thundrous applause which was being
given Attorney General Boyle IN the
court room q block away. Upon look
ing out on the awning. however, he
saw three plump quail lying slaughtered
by contact with the glass in his Office
window. Judge Cole is undecided as
to whether the quail he had on toast
for dinner that day were sent as WAS
the mama of old. or whether the
tempter who erected the golden caIf''
about the same time, having kept tab
on events of the present century.
should be credited with them. 1t any
rate, he believes those quail we're better
than mamma; and all the other at
torneys in town are jealous of him be-
cause he has been permitted to eat
quail out of season.

L. n. YOutsler, deaf mute working
his way home to Denver, wrote for the
DEMOCRAT the following:
"Our badge is honor, our principals
are white, our defense is argument;
the heighth of civilization and fine arts,
and we are in possession of no knowi-
edge of which we are ashamed, or de-
sire to hide from the world. We be.
lieve that the dead has no right to
controll the living, and that virtue
rewards itself; that no man can get
so low that he cannot rise, and that no
man can either rise. stand, or fall
without q chance. We therefore stand
upon the dead level, and divide equal

While returning from Kansas Cit

While returning from Kansas City
last week We travelled for some dis
lance with three of Teddy Roosevelt 8
Rough Riders, who were returning to
their homes-two to Colorado and one
to Montana-and We had a long talk
with them. Their experiences before
Santiago were indeed interesting. One
of them had been wounded in three
places, twice in one leg and once in
the arm, and he lay on the battle
field day and night before getting
surgical attention. They all knew
Private j. r. Hall, formerly Of Great
Bend. They said he went through the
first battle at San Juan bill without a
scratch las he had written his parents
here the day after J, but two days
later, at the second battle of San Juan,
he fell in line of battle. The boys said
they saw him buried. They thought
be had been killed instantly, but had
not noticed where he had been shot.
Two of them had been in the hospitals
one at Tampa. Fla, and the other
before Santiago latter he was wound
ed) and they were not at all choice in
their language describing their expe>
rience in the army hospitals. But
they all swear by "Teddy"-say he is
a common man among his men, slept
in the same kind Of tents they did, ate
the same kind of grub, and was always
at the front with the boys in the hot
test of the fight.
