"kid' Carsey's Hard Lines,

Many an old friend in this city of kid"
Carsey has been wondering where the lit
tie fellow will play next season. Carsey' s
heart was broken when the Philadelphia
club snapped him to ST. Louis last spring,
and during the remainder of the season he
was continually running away from and
going back to the Browns.
Other eX-Phladelphia players, like
Grady. Mailman and Turner, would have
liked to do the same but, unfortunately
for them, they were not in a position to
do so. Carsey was, however, as he was
last year, the owner and manager of the
team which played Sunday games at Wee
hauken. N. ]. He was thus in position
to do as he pleased to get even with Won
der Abe.
Now, unless the kid gets back under
the Won der Abe wing he is likely to be
out In the cold next season, for the
grounds on which his club played last year
have been leased to a cycling syndicate
Carsey is too good a pitcher to go to rust,
but unless he can patch up his troubles
with Won der Abe, or the latter trades
him. he will be unable to pitch ball this
year.

The basket ball team of the Washington
Light Infantry showed under the Mount
Pleasant Athletic Club team in a game
at the w. L. l. c. armory last night by a
score Ct II to 3. The Mount Peasants
showed improvement, but did not seem to
have the idea Of team play that has made
the Infantry aggregation such strong
club. TIE goal throwing of Shreve and
Burnett was the feature of the game.

Guessing at Next Seasons Schedule

Guesses about next seasons base ball
schedule are already being made, although
President Young has hardly begun his
task of making dates to suit twelve diff
ferent clubs, all of which are after the
''plums'' of the schedule. One thing is GER
tain-the season must begin on or very
close to April 10 in order to finish the
long schedule of 1854 games for each club
in the limited time that the contracts run.
The season, according to pretty well-in-
formed guesser, will begin with games be-
tween the eastern clubs in the east and
the western clubs in the west. The first
trip will be made by the eastern clubs
into the west, 1t is said, about April 26,
where they will remain for two weeks.
Upon returning there will be another short
east ast. east series. followed by visit
Of two weeks here by the western clubs
That will be the plan, it is thought,
throughout the season. Much the same ar
rangement regarding the disposition of
holidays will be maintained as in years
past.

Gift to It's Rector.

The congregation which sought to pre-
sent its minister with a Christmas present
in the shape of a bicycle was not success
fui in the wish as the clergyman decided
that its acceptance and riding would not
comport well with the dignity of his office.
The congregation was that of st. PauPs

Scully is held in great regard by the
members of his congregation, and they
were anxious to present him. some token of
their esteem. Many of the members of
the church are devotees of the wheel, and
a bicycle was one of the first things that
suggested itself as a suitable present.
fund for the purchase of the wheel was
raised, and one was ordered.
Just before the wheel arrived some one
heard that the rector had changed his
mind and did not care for a wheel. This
was rather surprise to its intended do

the strength of a statement that he had
made some time before, in which he had
said that a wheel would aid him greatly
in his parochial duties, and that he would
be glad to own one. The tender

that it would be better for him to consider

strained to refuse the bicycle
The young men who had bought the
wheel were fortunate in being able TO dis

cast about for something else that they
might give the rector. This was discovered

MIR. CHARLTON's LECTURE.
Will Talk On "The Making of Geor-
Gia" for the Colonial Danes.


Hon. Walter G. Charlton will deliver his
lecture on THE Making of Georgia" at
the Guards hall tomorrow night at $50
o'clock. This lecture will be given under
the auspices of the Georgia Society of
Colonial Danes, whose object is to pur-
chase the nucleus or foundation for lib
rary upon the colony of Georgia. These
works, when purchased, will be placed in
the Georgia Historical Society as loan
collection. There are many such works
which the society does not possess and
which are considered of Importance, espec-
tally in Savannah.
Mr.. Charlton has for years been a STU
dent of Georgia history. He is familiar
with it in all of its details. The early col
ony of Georgia, its populace, the struggles
of the people, their customs and laws have
had an interest and fascination for him.
which have led him to devote much time
to reading of them. Not only that but
Mr.. Charlton has given much time to spec
ial preparation for his lecture, and those
who are going to attend look forward TO a
most interesting treat. They will not be
disappointed nor is it likely that the Ia
dies will be in the proportions of the audi
ence.

LAwToN MEMORIAL NOT A CHURCH
The Inscription On the Building
MaY BE ChnngeH.

may Dt
Work on the Lawton memorial is pro-
crossing, and it is expected that Contrao-
tor Rabey will have the building complet-
ed by or soon after the time specified in
the contract, which is April l.
Col. A. f. Lawton, whose mother the
late Mrs. Sarah Alexander Lawton, ar
ranged for the erection of the building,
says the construction is progressing as ra-
pidly as could be expected and that he is
well satisfied with it. As every evidence of
care and good judgment is being exercised
in the building, he will not feel that any
thing will have been lost if it is not finish
ed on time:
Col. Lawton is DESTROYS of correcting the
impression that the memorial is to be built
as a church. He says ii will not be conse-
Grated, and that it will be emphatically a
building for the use of the public for de-
serving purposes. It's erection was desired
by Mrs. LaWton as a memorial to her
husband, the late Gen. A r.
Lawton. To endow the building would
have required too great an outlay, so it
was decided to tender it's use to the con-
gregation of the Second Presbyterian
church. By this means caretakers of the
property could be secured, and the ex-
pense that would have been borne by the
interest on an endowment fund avoided.
Whlie the building is to be used by the
congregation, it is to be held by it in trust
only. 1t will be for the use, as stated of
the pubic whenever any deserving request
is made for it. The congregation will be
compelled, under the terms of the bequest,
to recognize the request. No charge will
be made for the use of the building, only
the, expenses of heating and lighting, if
any, falling upon those using it. II is also
specified that the congregation is to have
its own choice of the times at which its
services are to be held. Applications by
other parties for the use OF the building
must not conflict with the hours for the
church services.
1t is thought of substituting the words
Lawton Memorial Halr' over the door of
the building for "Lawton Memorial" as
they now stand Col Lawton has not full
ly decided to have this done, but he will
if the impression can in no other way be
corrected as to the building being intended
for a church 1t is to present an imposing
appearance, and will be a great addition

Mr.. Charles III. Huston's Address ut

Mr. Charles Fl. Huston of Coatsville. Pa
addressed the young mems meeting az the
Young Mems Christian Association rooms
yesterday afternoon on the subject of
Christian principles in business. The ad-
dress was neither a sermon nor a lecture.
but simply friendly talk by a successful
business man to young men.
Mr.. Huston based his talk upon the con-
GLIDING portion of Christs parable of the
unjust steward, where Christ advises his
disciples to make to yourselves friends
of the mammon of unrighteousness.
Mr. Huston preferred the reading of tn,
revised version, which is make to your
selves friends by means of the mammon of
unrighteousness, as giving "A better idea
of the meaning of Christ. He urged that
It is the duty and privilege of the Chris

Christ. Not only the moral. but the ma

icy were dwelt upon and the promises of
Christ were quoted to this effect. as well
as various incidents from the speakers

FAVORS NEW STREET NAMES.
Alderman Smith wants New Names
for East and West Broad streets.

There is some talk in the city council
about changing the name of West Broad
street. The reason for such a change is
that the name is not euphonious, and
that 1t is misleading 1t was derived from
the street once being the western boun-
dairy of the city, which, of course, is not
the case now.
Alderman Smith will favor changing the
name and is inclined TO favor the name
broadway as a substitute. He thinks
this would have more of a metropolitan
sound and would not convey the idea of
boundary. The alderman also favors
