CHARLES H. BYRNE DEAD.
One of the Best-KnOwn Baseball
..Magnates" of the Country.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Charles H. Byrne,
who was president of the Brooklyn Baseball
Club died at his residence in this city to-.
day. Death was due to a complication of
diseases. Mr.. Byrne had been unconscious
since Monday of last week and death had

The history of modern baseball is con-
temporaneous with the active life of Charles
H. Byrne and to him has been given the
credit for many of the features of the game
which have given it its national character.
Mr. Byrne received his education at st.
Francis xavier's College. After graduation
he engaged as a newspaper reporter. In
1853 he branched out as a baseball manager,
as a member of the firm of Byrne, Taylor
e, Co. which organized the Brooklyn base
ball team and entered the Interstate
League. The Brooklyn club joined the
American Association in 1884. Mr.. Byrne
caused a sensation in 1885 when, having as
ISOLATED himself with Messrs. Abel ana
Doyle he purchased the entire Cleveland
league team, paying therefor the sum OF
$40 COO Byrne also secured Collins, of Louis
Vile. and Burns of Baltimore, two crack
Pvrne was not successful and in 1886 he
bought out the entire Metropolitan team
This deal was quickly followed by the pur-
chase of Dave FoutZ, Bushong and Bob
Carruthers from the St Louis team Tor
were rewarded by securing the pennant of
fhe American Association in 1889. After
this the Brooklyn club joined the league,
when the brotherhood revolt broke out. BY
his honesty and enterprise Mr. Byrne made
the American Association "a power and
forced the National League to meet II half
way in a consolidation agreement,

New 1OrK Evening POST.
During the week three new military at

United States at different embassies and le-
cations. Lieutenant Colonel Alfred r.
don; Major William r. Livermore, of the
engineers, to Copenhagen and Stockholm,
and Captain Alexander Rodgers, Fourth
The appointment of the first-named Off
Ger has created great deal of surprise in
army circles and will probably astonish
the diplomats in London not a little as no
other country than this would think of
sending a paymaster on such a mission.
The position of military attache to a for
eign embassy is an extremely valuable one
for any officer who desires to increase his
professional knowledge, as 1t carries with
it unexceled opportunities for seeing how
other countries prepare to carry on war,
and generally results in surprising aWak-
enng of the officers detailed, who, like most
Americans, are apt to believe that there Is
no room for Improvement on this side of
the water. To send TO such position an
officer whose functions are relegated In
some foreign armies to minor officials, and
which are purely civilian rarely requiring
the wearing of a uniform, is to show a
great lack Of consideration for the officer
and the government he is sent to.
Yet this Indifference to foreign govern
mental feeling is no new thing. 1t is only
few years since Emperor William expressed
his disgust at having to receive at his court
from this country a young captain of en-
gineers, but few years out of West Point,
and of no experience or personal presence
had at least the tempo rary rank of colonel
and were picked men, so that. as the engt-
neers are the lowest branch of the German
service. there was no good ground for his
astonishment, which doubtless has not been
decreased by the fact that he has since
had lieutenants as representatives of our
army, who were also without proper allow
ances with which to keep up the dignity of
their positions. Still more recently there
was sent to another country ay-haired
lieuten mt a veteran of the civil war. who
had served in his regiment Sor twenty-one
years without reaching his captaincy and
without in any way distinguishing himself.
The court authorities were utterly unable
to understand this for in Europe q gray
haired lieutenant means professional fail
ure and, as the officer could not speak the
language and had no means besides his
small pay, he was naturally the cause OF
considerable gossip and wonderment, and
found himself in most embarrassing sit
Uation.
There have been as representatives of the
United States. notably at Vienna. men who
have well represented the country, and
whose professional papers and reports have
attracted great attention when shown TO
military men. These articles have not. how
ever always been published or circulated
freely. 10 the great disgust and discourage
ment OF the writer's, who naturally dislike
