WAGNER And HANLON?
Did They Object to Paying Won
Der Ahe's Debt?
An Opinion in Baseball Circles That
They Were Slow In Joining
the Other Magnatcs

Chris Won der Abe. of St Louis, was
given his liberty yesterday. his friends
coming to his relief and paying the s.. 900
debt that had caused his incarceration
in Pittsburg.
Many of Won der Ahe's friends doubt
less, wondered why the means adopted to
get Chris out of trouble might not have
been used without letting the st. Louis
magnate get such a generous dose of Jail
life. 1t was a very simple and eminently
proper thing for the league magnates to
rally to Won der Ahe's assistance and
guarantee the small sum needed to obtain
his liberty. But il took them such
length of time to arrive at that determi-
nation. that most of the grace OF the act
is lacking. Il looks very much as though
this may have been the result of a little
scheme on the part OF Chris's ancient
enemies TO get even with him. In fact
that view of the situation is almost GER
tainly correct, rs President Young has
stated that the hesitation of the league
in coming to Chris's assistance was
caused by the objection of two league
magnates to the pro rata guarantee by
all the league clubs. Mr.. Young did not
state which of the two magnates regis
ttttu lHtli iBalIiSl liis Hiopbsl-
ton, but those OF the baseball public who
follow league politics are reasonably sure
they know which two they are.
There is no hesitation in asserting the
belief that Earl Wagner is one of The Two
raen who failed 60 lose sleep over Ckris's
incarceration. 1t IS emnently reasonable
to suppose that Mr.. Wagner would not
be enthusiastic In his efforts to save the
st. Louis magnate trouble. The merry
war carried on between the two since the
old brotherhood days, has never abated
to any considerable extent. as evidenced
by the regularity with which the gate
receipts were attached by the respective
proprietors of the two clubs after games.
The other manager who may be con-
sidered as a laggard in this subscription
scheme is Hanlon, of Baltimore. Little
love has been lost between those two
men for some years.

A certain eminent judge who was re-

about the facility with which he turned

he had learned that from what he saw

however, was not Disconnected.

Treatment that CURES
Curing Chronic Bronchial Catarrh by Mild Meth
ods-Provision for Free Trial Treat
ment-Mrs. Moncure's Case.
A FREE TRIAL. NO HIGH FEES.

Everybody has been reading of the
wonders accomplished as the result OF
Doctors Mccoy and Cowden's discov-
cries. The absolute and assured cure
OF Deafness in all its forms, the radi-
cal and permanent Mastery of Ca
tarrh in all its stages, the speedy and
complete triumph over Asthma with
all its agonies, and over ineipient Con-
sumption with all its terrors, has made
this treatment not only famous, but
an object of intense personal interest
10 all classes OF sufferers.
Deaf people who are constantly
reading the story of lost hearing can
not be free from curiosity as to the
nature of the new treatment by which
this splendid miracle of medicine is
now accomplished. Nor can the sick
who are constantly reading OF the cure
of Catarrh, Asthma and Lung Diseas-
es be free from Il similar passion of
interest over the treatment that ac-
complishes these almost equally mar
velous results.
And this offer of a free" trial to all
sufferers applying in person is made
for the immediate encouragement of
those naturally eager fer a personal
application of this wonderful treat
ment, and is made on grounds of SIM
pie business fairness TO all concerned.
All these people who have slight or
trifiing ailments, purely catarrhal con-
easily capable of a speedy cure
under the new methods, viii be charg-
ed only a trifiing fee, while those who
have difficult, obstinate or serious dis
eases requiring a special and long
care and attention, Will be
charged a fee commensurate with the
care and attention they require.

A Woman Detected Yesterday in Stealing
Goods in a Leading Dry Goods store.
A we'll known woman who resides
out the pike was detected yesterday
lifting" some goods in leading dry
goods store ON Main street. She wore
a long shawl and at a moment when
she thought herself unobserved, she
quickly picked up five-dollar box OF
linen handkerchiefs and slipped the
box under her shawl The act was no.
ticed by several of the clerks OF the
establishment and after she was
watched for awhile to see ii she would
take anything else, she was APP
preached by one of the statesmen and
accused of the theft. She acknowl-
edged her guilt but claimed it was her
first offense.
The woman did not seem much en-
barrassed and her statement OF for
mer innocence was not wholly accept
ed, as she also carried under her
shawl an unwrapped muffler which IS
thought to have been stolen in another
store. The proprietors of the store
agreed not to prosecute the woman ii
she would promise never to come IN
the store again. Local merchants
have frequently to contend with the
practice of shop-lifting but always dis
like to prosecute. 1t is probable, how
ever, that an example will be made OF
the next OffenSe.
