The retirement of Arson from the Chi
cagoes takes an interesting character from
the ball field. Ansons career began in
1870 in Rockford, H., on the local nine.
He soon attracted attention, and went to
the Philadelphia Athletics. In 1874 ne ac-
companied the Athletics and Bostons on
the first transatlantic trip. He was even
then known as a strong player.
His fame, however, came since his con-
nection with the Chicago club, which he
Joined in 1876, and which, under his lead
ership, won the National League PEN
naut in 1875, 1850, 1881, 1882, 1885 and 1886.
In the sos no club was so well known
the country over as Anson's White Stock
ings. He played twenty-five years With
the same club.
From 1876 to 1891 inclusive, the lowest
position the Chicago club held was nth
in 1877, and 1t was almost invariably to
be found 'one, two, three" Men whose
names will be known as long as the game
lasts were under him. Pfeffer, Corcoran,
Silver, Flint Goldsmith, Gore, Ned Will
iamson Tom Burns, Mike Kelly and John
Clarkson were among his men. His gem
eralship was acknowledged by all. But
with the advance of years has come a de-
mand for young blood, and the veteran
has been retired.
During his connection with the Chicago
club Arson participated In 1858 full cham
plonShtp games. he was at pht SVSo
times and made 1904 base hits. His grand
average at bat for twenty-five years was
.322. From 1879, when the available re-
cords began, till the close of 1897, he had
II, 6O9 put-outs, 953 assists and 54 errors.
This gave him a fielding average for the
twenty-five years of 81
A man who can field 81 and bat .322
is welcome to-day In league circles. A
man who bats that hard in one year,
even, is a slugger.
He led the National League batsmen in
1879. 1881 and 1888. He was second in 1880,
1852. 1886 and 1887, and ranked well as a
hitter every year, excepting 1892, 1898 and
1897. when he was, respectively, forty
second, thirty-seventh and sixty-eighth.

Not only did Bishop Messmer take

but he told the members Of the societies
that the propaganda viewed with re-.

Catholics met with approval. The
words Of the pope, as they were deliv-

CAUSES A SENSATION.

Cars Peaoe Proposition Evidently -
Sincere as Unexpected.
LONDON, Aug. 29.-The czar's propo-
dtion for an international conference
for tho purpose of securing real and
lasting peace among the powers and
the termination Of the progressive in.
crease in ornaments. conveyed in q
note from Count Muravioff, the Rus.
slap foreign minister, to the foreign
diplomats at St. Petersburg, is likely
to produce o sensation throughout
Europe, and. coming from such o quar-.
ter and with such evident sincerity Of
purpose 1t is likely to have important
effects. There is no doubt that with
Russia taking tho lead in such step
Germany. France and the other M.
tions will be ready to follow.
Tho Text Of the Note.
In his invitation to participate in the
conference the Russian minister dwells
at length on the bad effect Of the con.
tinual increase Of armaments, declar.
ing that it strikes at the very root Of
public prosperity. Continuing he says:
Tho intellectual and physical strength
of tho nations-labor and capital-aro
mostly diverted from their natural appli-
cation and arcGnproductivcly consumed.
Hundreds of millions are devoted to ac-.
quiring terrible engines of destruction,
which, though today regarded as the last
work Of science, arc destined tomorrow to
lose oil their value in consequence Of
somo fresh discovery in tho same field.

PUBLIC MEN SILENT.

Religious World, However. Loud IN
Praise Of the Cars Move.
LONDON, Aug. 8Q.-The papers are
filed with discussions, comments and
opinions as to the peace circular q the
Emperor Nicholas. The most astound.
ing event could hardly have provoked
such attention as this coup. the carry.
ing ont of which is remarked on oil
sides as being impossible.
This being holiday season, it 10 hard
to obtain the opinions Of public men on
the subject. The religious world, how.
ever. loudly welcomes and praises the
cars noble initiative. Numerous
bishops have already publicly expressed
their views on the matter.
Among the statesmen interviewed
Sir Charles Dixie, Radical member of
parliament, remarked: "The Russian
peace footing Of nearly 1000, 900 regu.
lars, exceeds the peace footing Of Ger.
many, Austria and Italy combined.
Thus, it
Has Eeen in Russia's Power
to reduce the land forces by diminish.
ing her own in connection with similar
action on the part of Germany. French
public opinion is not prepared for dis
armament, which would mean. a.
things stand now, an acceptance Of
the Alsace- Lorraine situation. Naval
disarmament would be dangerous for
Great Britain. Any formal plan would
involve subsequent breaches Of faith,
but II Germany and Russia will cease
their forces we can follow
without . formal agreement.
Naturally all persons and societies
