JOHN T. BRUsH's PLANS
Will Try to Buy Out a Few League
Franchises.

New York, Dec. 28.-Later develop
ments in the baseball situation have
just been divulged by Col. John I. Ro-
gers, one of the four members of the
National League circuit committee.
1.-THE committee will not bid on all the
property of the four clubs that are to
be retired, and the players will not be
placed in a pool to be sold to the high
est bidders" says Col. Rogers. 1.-The
league intends to purchase the fran
chises of the clubs, and the present
owners will be allowed to carry on the
business of selling their players. They
can do it to better advantage than the
league. AS yet the committee has not
made a direct offer for any franchise.
4 expect that within the next ten
days John T. Brush, chairman of the
circuit committee, will see the Louis
vile and Cleveland owners and get
their figures. No fancy prices will be
paid. In fact, these two clubs will be
lucky to get anything for their fran
chises, as it would be almost impossi-
Bile for either club to go on next sea-
son.
After we dispose of Louisville and
Cleveland the Baltimore and Washing
ton people will be approached, and, un-
less they can be bought out cheaply,
the league will go on next season with
ten clubs This, no doubt, would make
an awkward schedule, but I think the
best way it could be arranged would be
to move the clubs around in groups of
two. disregarding entirely the dividing
of them into eastern and western sec
tons"

of Great Age.
Once Worn by Shakespeare and
Very Low Cut.
OTHER TREASURES
TREASURES
Of Immortal Bard Possessed,
is a Stuff Box.
Has a Vinaigrette Presented to
the Poets Wife.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 28.-Sydney
Vernon Blackwell, of this city, is said
to possess the most valuable Shakes
perean relics extant in the United
States. They consist of a. vest, a jewel
ed tie pin worn by the great bard, his
snuff box, a string of beads and
vinaigrette bottle presented to Anne
Hathaway on the occasion of her mar
riage with Shakespeare. Bakewells
Birmingham, England, and his ma
ternal grandmother was a daughter of
James Shakespeare, the fifth of the
Shakespeares in direct hneal descent
from the immortal bard.
The vest is of ordinary size, showing
that Shakespeare was not himself gift
capacity which he attributes to the
justice of the peace in his Seven Ages
of Man.
VERY LOW CUT.
The facing is a brocade of satin, with
numerous designs worked in bright
cOlored silk thread. 1t is lined with sa-
teen, excepting the lower part, which
is backed with kid leather. The cut is
extremely low, 20 permit of expensive
ruff1ed shirts common in those days,
and the buttons are small and covered
with black cloth. The relic is 300 years
old, and it is faded and frayed in many
places.
The bard's snuffbox is in a dilapi-
dated condition. It is of ebony, and the
tains about dozen small diamonds,
set in solid silver. The design is unique
and the silver is blackened with age.
This pin was presented to Shakespeare
while he was in London. A card writ
ten over two centuries ago is attached
to the relics of Anne Hathaway. The
beads are round and transparent,
streaked with red color, and vary in
size from a pea to ordinary marble. The
vinaigrette is cut glass, quite small,
with a silver top. Mr.. Blackwell also
has a workbag which belonged to
Shakespeare's mother.
THE OLDEST RELIC.
II is the Oldest relic of the lot, dat
ing back $40 years. 1t is handmade, of
a species of grass interviewer with a
silk design of the shamrock and the
thistle. Attached to the bag is a card
reading: This bag was made and
worked between the years 1850 and
1855 by Mary Arden, wife of John
Shakespeare, and mother of the re-
noWned William Shakespeare The
deIicacy of the needIework indicates
that five years might easily have been
spent in it's construction. In every in
and not Shakspere. There is no reason
to doubt the genuineness of the relics.
Mr.. Blackwell is a. man in moderate cir
cumstances, who settled here less than
one year ago. Every article possessed
by him has a complete account in
chronological order of its various own
ers from the death of Shakespeare to
the present time, and they are pre-
served with great care by Blackwell and
his family, who regard them as price

Over to the State.

Clifford Music, one Of the two boy
thieves who some time ago burglarized
Blackman's coffin factory, and who
more recently stole some articles from
Charles AfcClintOck's residence on Mon

Dolman again, this time on the com
plant of his father.
: When the boy and his accomplice,
John Hicks, were taken into probate
court after the Blackman robbery on
an application to have them sent to the
reform school, their parents blocked the
court by fighting the case, and Judge
Dolman could do nothing but dismiss
the application, as he has no power to
try a criminal action. But since the
boys committed the second robbery,
Clifford AIusic's father has seen the err
ror Of protecting the boy from correc-
ton, and he now makes application
himself to have the boy sent to the re-
form school for incorrigibi1ity.

General Otis Thinks, Where There Is
So Much Smoke.

Washington, Dec. 2s.-The adjutant
general has received a copy of an order
recently issued by General Otis, aim
ing at the suppression of bribery, which
it is reported has been extensively prac-
ticed in the Philippines. General Otis
says the persistence of these reports
touching both the military and civil
service in the islands has forced him to
the conclusion that there NAV be some
foundation for the general charge. He
cautions all commanding officers, heads
of departments, and others in authority,
to probe to the bottom any such re-
ports that may reach him and says that
offenses of this nature will be sup
pressed with a strong hand.

FALSE ALARM.
PresenceIof German Warships in Hay
tan Waters Meant Nothing.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-The German
Warships Nike and Won MOltke used as
training ships for naval cadets have ar
rived at Havana after a cruise through
West Indian waters. 1t was the arrival
of these ships in Haytian waters about
ten days ago that caused cOnsterna-
Tfon among the officials and people
there, as it was feared there would be
a repetition of the Leders incident and
another demand on Hayti backed up by
German naval guns.
It appears. however, that the cruise of
the Nike and Won MOltke was arranged
a year ago and the call at Haytian
ports was entirely devoid of significance
as the commanders Of the ships have no
instructions outside Of those pertaining
TO the regular cruise. On January s
they viii proceed along the Cuban and
Porto Rican coasts.
