Standing of the Clubs.

The race for the League pennant grows
more interesting each day. The Reds
have verified the prediction of majority
OF the baseball writers that the month of
August would witness slump in the
playing form of the Porkopolitans.
Bucks Braves. because of an early and
excellent Spring practice in the South,
took commanding lead in the race early
IN the championship season, and by good
work maintained the first place up TO last
week, much TO the surprise of many or
the admirers of the game all over the
country.
1t was predicted that a couple of
months playing in warm weather would
dissipate all the ills of Charley horse"
and glass arm" handicapping the Bos-
tons and the Baltimores, and that they
would then go into the front, and the
clubs of mediocre strength would find
their true level And all this has come
10 pass.
The pace now being set by the Orioles,
Beaneaters and Giants is much too swift
for the Brush Trial Heat Winners, and
when it comes to the scorching clip that
will be set coming down the hOmestretch
in October, why, the Reds viii not even
secure an ''also ran" position. Under
more favorable circumstances, the In
dams would have better standing, al
though II is by no means Ger ain that they
will not make il exceedingly interesting
for the leaders ere the ides of October.
Fierce as is the battle for championship
a int fr,C when
compared with the struggle going on be-
tween Washington, Louisville, Brooklyn
and ST. Louis TO reach the bottom of the
ladder. AT the present writing Sir Tim
othy Hurst's Trailers are the fayorites.
and with their 80 points lead and steady,
consistent losing should be booked to win
81 even money.
President Won der Horst of the Balti-
more Baseball Club passed through
Washington yesterday with his club,
which is on its way to Cincinnati. Mr..
Won der Horst filed with Mr.. Young, pres
sdent of the league, a certified copy Of the
injunction secured by Holmes from the
court in Baltimore enjoining the Balti-
more club temporarily from restraining
him. He did this to show TO the league
that the Baltimore club had complied
with the directions of the board of di-
rectOrs at the meeting. No further steps
will be taken by the league until the de-
cision OF the court. In case the injunc-
ton Is made permanent it is difficult TO
See how Holmes can be suspended.

stand of this company, which does a
very heavy marine insurance business,

Of affairs became threatening between
the United States and Spain a number OF
applications for the company TO write

I'VE do not think it proper said Mr..

Dfreful News OF the Storm King,
Relentless Fury

St Johns, n. T., March 26-The first
returning vessel of the steam SAILING,
heet that left for the seal fishery on

the direful news that forty-eight men

a BIG STRIKE IMMINENT.
General Dissatisfaction Prevails
Throughout Anthracite Regions.

Hazleton, Pa, March 26.-Grave ap-
prehension is felt here that a general
strike of the coal miners throughout
the anthracite regions of Pennsylva-
MIA is imminent. Work has been very
slack at the mines. This has entailed
much suffering and the families of
hundreds of miners are in want Cen
eral dissatisfaction prevails.
Nearly every mine worker in the dis
trict is member of the AIineworkers'
Union and, should a strike come, they
can present united front. which they
have never done before The unions
have had many local and district meet
ings of late and a general strike has
been discussed.
In connection with this assumption.
it is significant that the miners have.
during the past few weeks. been max
ing unusually heavy purchases of gro
ceries and provisions at the company's
stores. None of these will issue sup
plies to the men while on strike

SOCIETY IN WASHINGTON
A Number Of Elegant Dinners
Given Last Night.
The Fashionable World Conferred n
Garfield Hospital Yesterday
Afternoon.

There is Just enough probability of
war to set society in a ferment as to
what effect it will have on Vanity Fair.
The younger generation with no personal
experience to base theories on. are anus
ing their elders with amazing specula-
tons. but il is becoming notably evident
that the elders, generally, are not as
loquacious as they might be in the mat
ter of explanation-it happened such
long time ago!
One brilliant star in the Capitals social
Permanent owns surreptitiously to know
ing ali about everything that happened in
those days, both in Washington and
Richmond, but admits frankly that if she
were to give the world the benefit of her
knowledge it would expose her age, and
that, in turn, would bring on nervous
prostration. She has a contemporary,
however. 4 comfortable spinster of fair
| fat and forty, who, having reached that
state of contentment in which she neither
eXacts admiration nor receives it, likes
nothing better than to talk over war
times" when she was a beauty and a
belle.
Society was addicted to fairs for pa
/ triottc purposes in those days and when
lHo pretty SlllS We're not making fancy
! articles for rival booths, they spent
good part of their leisure in sewing and
preparing lint. Loyalty, sympathy and
tears We're the elements that dominated
almost every home, but there were merry
exceptions, and the dances and frolics Of
those troublous times were enough to
keep their participants in memories for
a lifetime.
Even in Richmond people went to par
ties and had good times though towards
the end of that terrible four years gowns
had grown shabby, and the dancers often
went TO bed hungry. AT first girls would
stay home from parties on account of,
say. patched slipper, but soon conYen-
tlonallty gave way to philanthropy, and
the same young women came to con-
slider themselves lucky to have slippers
at all.
1t was very happy conclusion to
reach, and, once attained, lasted as long
as the rebellion.
The reminiscent spinster, in speaking
Of her own girlish triumphs, likes to
marriage on the night that she wore
ball dress of rose colored mosquito
net, sewed with the rawlings of an
old silk stocking.
There may or may not be war but no
matter what happens, human nature may
be trusted to keep right on in the lines
laid down for it at the beginning of crea-
/ ton. People must cry and sorrow and
people must also dance and sing.
