The Bare Floor Fad.

1t is a comfort occasionally to hear
some one lecture upon houses and house
furnishings who does not insist upon
bare floors. Mrs. Henry Whitman, the
artist, talking on the subject in Boston,
recently, said that bare floor did not
carry out entirely the idea of comfort,
and that carpets which are simple and
in good taste are to be preferred. eve
are getting too horribly picturesque"
she said, land the result is a sort of
chaos. Art" she went on, sis most in
elusive thing. It never leaves out any
thing essential to life. We should not
try to be picturesque the living in a room
makes it that. If law and order are rec
ognized, things will gravitate to their
proper places and the balance be pre-
served"

FIVE PARDONS GRANTED.
Sick Prisoners Who Can Live but
a Short Time Given Their
Freedom.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 19.-The Pres
ident has granted pardons in the follow
ing cases:
Marion Haldermen Of Arkansas, convic-
ted of larceny. The only result of the
pardon is a restoration of citizenship.
Arthur d. Andrews of the Southern dis
trict of California, convicted in 1894 Of
violation of the postal laws and sentenced
to three years in prison and to pay a fine
of $1,000. The pardon is granted on the
ground that since his arrest Andrews has
already served longer term than the SEN
tence imposed.
Jack Wilkinson of the eastern district
of Texas, convicted in 1896 of assault
with intent to kill. The papers in the
case show that the prisoner can live only
a short time. This is also the basis for
the pardon in the case of Joseph Aired
Of the eastern district of Missouri who is
under sentence for counterfeiting money.
and also in the case of l.. S. Whitfield of
the northern district of California, also
convicted of passing counterfeit money.
Pardons were denied in the following
cases:
Walter A. Miliken and John Jamisc~,
Southern district of Ohio, convicted in
1891 of passing counterfeit money. Her
man Hausler of the district of Kansas

Charles Hubbard, Eastern district of

GUARDING THE GUNS.
Utmost Vigilance Exercised at the
Fortifications on Paci-
fiC Coast,

San Francisco, Cal, Feb. 19.-The Call
says il IS definitely known that the de-
partment at Washington has wired Gen.
Shafter TO use the utmost vigilance in
guarding the guns Of this harbor. The
telegram from Washington to Gen. Sh;-::-
ter IS elaborate and gives Instructions in
detail regarding the desired preparations
Gen. Shafter, who was in Bakersfield
when the message came over the wire,
also ordered necessary precautions. In
obedience to orders the guards at Fort
Point. Lime Point and at the mortar and
dynamite batteries were doubled. Yester-
day the regular force of patrol guards
was largely increased.
The instructions from Washington go
further than directions for added vigil
lance in guarding the heavy ordnance
Orders came to have ammunition ready
for immediate use A careful inspection
of al the batteries has been ordered by
Gen. Shafter. He gave his orders by
Wire from Bakersfield. Every gun is
being infinitely inspected. The stock of
ammunition for the II and 1O-inch rifles
and the mortars is not very large, but is
sufficient for any immediate requirement
in the event of hostilities between the
United States and Spain. The reserve
supply for the batteries of this harbor is
stored in Benicia arsenal.

ers if Vanderbeck will notify him of the
kind wanted. Thomas is returned, of
course, as the Colonies have enough
pitchers already. Second Baseman Smith,
ShOrtStop DOlan and Outfielder Nance are
about the only men this club can spare.
Smith is a good man, an excellent hitter,
and fast, clean infielder, who only needs
another seasons experience in minor COM
pany to fit him for National league
service. Dolan's lame arm last year got
him into disfavor with the Louisville root
ers and now there is no place for him
since Ritchey's transfer from Cincinnati.
Dolan is al fright again, though as his
throwing in practice at the park this week
shows his whip" to be as good as ever.
Dolan ought to be a star in the Western
league, as he is a daring chance-taking
fielder and hits well. Nance may also be
''farmed" if billiard shows up best. The
stout little Texan hit in the hardest kind
Of luck after joining the Colonies last
year, but Manager Clark would not think
of releasing him outright or selling him.
There is no better hitter in the business
than the Kid" and he covers acres of
territory. If the deal with Boston for
Camel goes through Vanderbeck may be
able to get Catcher Fuller, whom the Col
onels purchased recently from Cedar
Rapids. Vanderbeck can get these farmed
players by the time Detroit fills its exhibit
ton dates here in April. Richter is keep
nasium work.
Dave Sullivan said to reporter of the
Sun that he would quit the ring inside
of six months, unless he can get some
thing to do. They all seem ara afraid to
$1,000 with Al Smith as forfeit so long
that [ fear it will soon grow musty. I
can't get on match even if l go ont
of my class. Tommy White, who, [
think, is easier than any man in the ring,
won't tackle me even if give ten pounds
to him. Sammy Kelly, Billy Rotchford
and Pedlar Palmer also refuse to accept
my challenge. To get these men to fight
me l will agree to forfeit every cent of
the purse if | don't whip them. | aim
this def especially at Kelly and White"
AS made up at present, the Buffalo
team will have Field Clymer, Shannon
and Greminger in the infeld with
Householder as substitute: Gilboy, Law
renee and Grey in the Outfeld; Smith,
Diggins and Urquhart behind the bat,
with Mitchell, Cochran, Gray, Brown
and Mains to do the twirling. In the
quintette of pitchers there is not single
left-hander. Manager Rowe would like
to get Il sOuthpaw, but he cannot find
one whom he considers desirable.
The bout between Joe Hopkins of New
York and Tommy Hogan of Chicago, be-
fore the Rienzi Athletic club at Roches-
ter, was stopped in the fifth round and
the decision was given to Hopkins.
Hogan deliberately fOuled the colored lad
with his elbow at every opportunity.
Fred Clark, manager of the Louisville
team, was i'll Chicago yesterday. Clark
said his team would take it's preliminary

No player in that league will receive more
than 5000 per month unless he be the
manager of team, in which instance he
is entitled to bonus. There is an iron
bound agreement between the Eastern
and the Western leagues not to pay a
player more than 5000 per month, and
that agreement cannot be broken. The
gentlemen who have their money invest
ed IL these two minor leagues do not
intend to give all the profits to the ball
players. Past experience has shown that
we cannot afford to pay fancy salaries
When man can make 5000 per month
for five or six months he is not doing
poorly. That IS all player is worth to
our clubs. When he develops and his
services are worth more than our limit, he
is ready for the National league, where
bigger salaries are paid. The players will
nave to drop in line and accept our terms
or quit the game. The Western and the
Eastern leagues are the two principal
minor leagues in the country. A player
who will not accept our salary limit must
either play for less in some other minor
league, if he is allowed to play at all, or
quit. That is the whole thing in Il nut
