BASE BALL MAGNATES
Assembling For Annual Meeting freedman
Retires From Management Of New York Club.

New York, Dec. 12.-The annual meet
ing of the National League and American
Association of base ball clubs will begin,
tomorrow, at the Fifth Avenue hotel. The
session promises to be a most interesting
one, as matters of the most vital impor-
lance are to be discussed. Among those
who have arrived to take part in the pro-
ceedings are President and Secretary N.
E. Young, Washington; James a. Hart,
Chicago; A. H. Soden, Boston; John r.
Brush, Cincinnati; and Receiver B. S.
Muckenfus of the St. Louis club. The
rest of the delegates are expected here by
tonight.
Chris Won Der Abe of St. Louis, is on
his way here, and his fight, with Receiver
Mnckenfus as to VINO shall represent the
st. Louis club at the meeting, promises
to be one of the hottest kind.
Among the matters to be taken up, the
the powers vested in the board of disci-
pine to punish "kickers will develop
some lengthy arguments. The shortening
of the playing schedule will also be con-
sidered, but it is not likely that any def
mite action will be taken and the schedule
for next year Will remain the same as
last season.
Local enthusiasts were agreeably sur
prised when 1t was announced, this morn
ing. that John B. Day would control the
New York players next season. President
Freedman made this announcement and
said that he would not have time to at
tend personally TO the affairs of the CLUB.
owing to the pressure of other important
business. Mr.. Day would be elected a
director and appointed manager at the
next meeting of the club. In addition TO
these proposed arrangements, Mr.. Freed
man has decided that the services of
pitchers Rusie and Meekin and Second
Baseman Gleason are to be dispensed
with. Mr.. Freedman will not attend the
meeting and he has entrusted the inter-
| ests of the New York club to Messrs. So
Iden and Conant of Boston, 8.

Misstatement About City Hospital.
The Waterville correspondent to tn
Lewiston JoIlrnal saws.

The Waterville correspondent to the
Lewiston Journal says:
The city of Augusta has sent the
town Of Fairfield bill for $500 for
care of one George Preble who, it viii
be recalled, fell from a chimney in
that city, last July, and thereby frac-
tured his thigh He was taken to the
City hospital and a physician set the
fractured bone but it didn't heal and
he was taken to the General hospital
at Portland to have the thigh treated,
being there at the present time. The
town of Fairfield contend that the bill
is eXorbitant but offered to settle for
$500, rather than go into litigation.
Augusta refused this overture and is
to sue the bill. Now Preble backed by
the town of Fairfield plans to sue the
Augusta physician for a sum which
will more than offset the bill upon the
allegation of improper treatment; and
there is likely to be quite scrap be-
fore the thing is Strengthened out.
(The above item so far at least as
it refers to the Augusta City hospital
is absolutely incorrect. No man by
the name of Preble has ever been I'M
der treatment at that institution.
Neither has any accident case Of this
description ever been cared for there.

Jogging His Memory.

One day little girl accompanied her
mother on shopping expedition. At
one of the shops they were about to
visit the proprietor was in the habit
Of presenting the child with a doll.
AS they approached the shop the little
one appeared to be very uneasy.
Mamma" said she, suppose Mr..
Brown forgets my doll"
"Oh. he won't forget" said the
lady, reassuringiy.
But II he does" persisted the child.
well. then." said mamma, I'VE
must jog his memory"
They entered the shop, and the lady
was soon deeply engrossed in her bar
gain-hunting business. After this was
completed to her satisfaction she turn
ed to 60, whereupon the little one
clambered on to a chair and tanned
the proprietor rather smartly on the
head with her tiny parasol. What
eve. are you doing. you naughty girl?"
exclaimed the mother.
I'm Jogging his remember" said
the child.

MINNIE HAUcK's DEBUT.
The Pima Donna Recalls Her First Ven
ture on the Stage.

turs the Stage.
Minnie Hauck. the famous prima-
donaa. has written the following in
arce on the stage. She is now living
retired life in Germany. for her days
of vocal triumph are over, and she
looks back with special pride to the
first faltering steps in her long and
successful career. She writes:
81 was Just about six years old when
I made my first appearance on the
stage. This was in Kansas City,
where l was then living with my
mother in one of the peculiar hotels
of that time. To-day Kansas City Is
a town of 100000 inhabitants. In
those days 1t was village. with many
OF the characteristics of backwoods
town. In the hotel at which we were
stopping, all the theatrical companies
we're wont to come and it was an oc-
casion of intense pleasure for me to
sit at the long dining table and listen
to the conversation of the actor folk
CT that time.
~ "hSh was dDOuI OLA yNoiS o'N
there came to Kansas City company
Of actors who had arranged to give q
performance Of popular play called
THE Golden Farmer" In this play
there was part for child Of six. 1t
was rather long and full Of sentiment.
1t so happened that while we were sit
ting at the table the director turned
to my mother and told her that the
play would probably not be produced
that night as the little girl cast for the
child's part had been taken Ill. I
can't tell what prompted me to speak
but I begged the director to let me act
as a substitute. He told me 1t was i'm
possible as 1t had taken weeks to train
the other child and he felt certain that
I could not learn the words in the few
hours left before the curtain went up.
I begged so piteously that he finally
consented to let me make trial Of it.
"For two hours went through the
part in the hotel parlor and when the
curtain finally went up on the play
and the cue came for me to go on, all
nervousness left me and l acted the
part with the feeling Of an adept.
"I was called before the curtain four
times and made a tremendous hit. The
director begged my mother to let me
travel with the company, but she re-
fused, and that night I remember when
I went to bed put my arms around
her neck and whispered I will 60 on
the stage. mother. and become great
actress Since then have appeared
many times before the public in all
the great capitals Of the world, but
can never forget the happiness that
followed upon the heels Of that first
triumph" ~

This Will Interest Pensioners.

A case has just teen decided in
the supreme court by Judge Dwight
which will be ofinterest to pensioners.
1t appears that Mrs. Ann Costello, of
Marengo, the widow of a pensioner
of the late war, was indebted to
Luther A. Smith, of that place in the
sum Of 5000. Mr.. Smith succeeded
in getting his claim into an execution,
and last summer attempted to sell
Mrs. Costellos home to satisfy the
execution. Mrs. Costello brought
suit against Smith and the sheriff of
Wayne county, through her attorney,
De L. Stow, of Clyde, to restrain them
selling the property. The case was
tried before Judge Dwight at Lyons
In January last. The court has just
granted an injunction forever restrain
ing the sale of the property.

Don't Wear Night Dresses.

A New Yorker who visited Canada
some time ago made trip through one
CT the North Western Territories and
spent a time as the guest of rancher.
II fixed him up as we'll as I could"
the rancher relates, "but he complain-
ed that he did not like sleeping with
his clothes on. So after the first night
/ stretched a cowskin across the shack,
aud told him he might undress II he
liked. He took off most of his gar
ments and put on a long white night
dress. In the morning my foreman
came in while the gentleman was still
sleeping. Observing the white night
dress, he said, in a whisper:
"'Rather sudden-eh?'
"'What?' I asked.
1.-The death of the old man.
"'IIe's not dead-he's asleep I ex-
planned.
"'rhen what's he wearin' them
billed clothes for?' was the reply.
Never saw chap laid out in billed
clothes afore. 'cept he were dead"
