The Cleveland team was for years dubbed
all over the base ball map the Spiders
on account of the uruSual number of long
and lean players on the team. Jay Faatz
and other elongated players were members
of the team then, and the sobriquet was
we'll given. When Fine Water Sockaiexis
left Holy Cross College where he had
made fame as base bah player and sign
dubbed their team the Indians" Since
their games have been transferred to for
eign soil on account of lack of attendance
at games played in TIE forest city, the
team has most often been referred to as
"Wanderers," Tourists" or "Tramps"
The Cincinnati team has for years been
known as the Reds. a sobriquet fastened
on them many seasons ago on account of
the color of their hose. They are also
known as "Quitters," for not being able
to stand the pace, leading the field season
after season for about two-thirds of the
route and colapsng at the end like a
punctured balloon. They have remained in
the van longer than ever this season, and
at present have about an equal chance with
Boston and Baltimore for championship
honors. The Reds are referred to in GER
tain quarters Bucks Braves" since
Ewing, whose nickname is Buck became
their manager.
Brooklyn BrideEroOms.
The sobriquet of 'Bridegrooms' has been
allied with the Brooklyn team for years.
They earned the title by the marriage of
half a dozen or more members of the team
during a very brief space of time. When
the trolley car system was first introduced
in Brooklyn fatalities were daily, if not
hourly, occurrences, and the team is often
referred to by the more humorous scribes
as Trolley Dodgers"
1t has always been the Reds and
"Beaneaters" with the Boston team. When
the club first entered the National League
Ia NJ to
trimming of it's uniform and stockings.
They were at once dubbed the Reds" and
the title has stuck to them ever since.
They are equally as well known as the
"Beaneaters," given them for the alleged
fondness Of Bostonians for baked beans.
They go by the name of Champions this
season, for winning the pennant from the
Baltimores last season, and later defeating
them in the series for the Temple cup.
The Baltimore team is most often re-
ferred to as "Orioles'' and "Birdies" two
names they fell heir to on account of Bal
timore being the home Of the oriole BY
winning the league pennant three times in
succession, in 1894. 1895 and 1896, they were
dubbed the Three Timers"

holiday at the beginning of the week to

two Greek decorations for merit of which
the householder was the proud pOssessor,
and ticket for a public dinner TO an Off

This function was fixed for tuesday
evening The excitement of the burglary
drove all recollection of the banquet from
his head, and il was only when some
friends mentioned how charming his repre-
sentative was at the banquet that he re-
rnembered the disappearance of the ticket
which was marked "One guinea. wine in

that the burglar had not only appropriated
the admission card. but actually wore the
gentlemans Greek decorations at the din

the ticket holders cousin who was on his
holidays. and made himself so popular
among the company with stories of his ex-

An Eye-Witness Recites His Expert
cnces After the Fight.
From Leslie's Weekly.
Ths scenes and actions in Caney after
the battle are in a measure explained by
the impression that, following the taking
Of the town. the invading force would loot,
commit murder and rapine. Immediately
after occupation of the hill upon which
the fort is situatsd by our forces, the freu-
zied inhabitants began rushing up the hill
to make peace With the victors. 1 went
down into the town with a sergeant ard
eight men, with Instructions from Capt.
Allen of the cavalry to turn out all the
Spanish soldiers could find and break ND
their arms and send the soldiers up to the
fort. n
General orders had been issued forbidding
any one except this small guard to enter
the town, as there was thought to be
great amount Of fever, and also because it
was still occupied by the defeated SPAN
iards under arms. AS we went down the
trail across the river we met procession
such as never expect to see again. Hys-
terical women, paralyzed with the fright of
the whole long day; children of all sizes
screaming with terror and clutching their
mothers skirts for protection from men
who had killed their fathers or brothers,
as far as they knew, without cause. Some
little ones, with eyes wide open in mute
wonderment of II all; men of all classes;
soldiers who walked defantly with no ex-
cuse while others declared they were fore
ed into the Spanish ranks.
One poor, frightened woman Of about
fifty years. was carrying another, evidently
her mother-a woman who must have been
eighty or more. She was in her night
clothes. having Just been taken helpless
from her bed The younger woman was
carrying or really dragging, her by hold
ing her on her back. having the arms over
her shoulders. The older woman was much
the taller andher bare feet dragged upon the
jagged rocks in the path while she moaned
and cried incoherently. These peopls were
not of the poorer class, but evidently well
to do. / stopped O couple Of the Spanish

ELECTION LAWS

The Goebel bill which has been
passed by the Kentucky Legislature
has been the theme of such wide dis
cussions as to make election laws Il
timely topic even outside of the
atate of blue grass, and Bourbon.
The Goebel law may haye some bad
features from high moral stand
point but at the worst it only Sc
cures the control of the State the
party that has the right to control
it and which accords with the
genius of its institutions. Election
laws however generally have the bad
luck to be unpopular with one of the
two great parties, and if you hear a
fellow abusing a. statute of this kind
you may feel quite sure that he didn't
make it. We have an election law
in Virginia for example, which is
absolutely odious to a large number
of citizens who. continue to vote uder
its provisions, and continue TO swear
that they have been disfranchiSed.
1t is not half as partizan Il law as
these same fellows would enact if
they had the power. In fact they
have had the power in times past,
and what ever of fault or imperfection
may be charged against the Walton
law is bagatelle compared to the
wholesale bribery and corruption that
prevailed in this State during the
Malone regime, and. which would
prevaile today If the same people
were in power. Yet mild and
equitable from Il pratical standpolnt)
as this law is, the News would be
glad TO see it SO amended as to take
from these people their pat and per-
petual excuses for defeat, and show
them up for what they are-a pitiful
minority of the voters of the State.

We give below an extract which

1T is that man who has brain and

American Consul General Havana
would hardly have brass enough to

The Louisville Dispatch thus ex

candidacy of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee for
the seat in the United States senate
now occupied by Hon. Thoma S
Martin: the talk about Gen. Lees
candidacy for seat i'm the United
States senate from Virginia is being
revived since he has come promin-
emily before the public in the excite

Gen. Lee is man of great personal
popularity in Virginia for his own
sake rs well us for the sake of the
famil y of which he is IA worthy
representative. However, his posi-
ton on some of the political questions
of the day is uncertain. He was a
close friend of Mr.. Cleveland, and
undoubtedly sympathised with the
eX-president's financial policy. Like
some other Virginia democrats. 1t is
not improbable that he is willing TO
go with his party on the money
question. Virginia is ii Democratic
state. Senator Daniel is undoubtedly
