Pesslmistic Hanlon.

Manager Hanlon Of the Baltimore
does not take rosy view of the sea-
son Of 1899. In recent interview he
said: IF the National league circuit
would remain the same as before there
are four cities which must be strength
ened. There are Brooklyn. New York,
Philadelphia and st. Louis. One thing
Is certain, the National league cannot
go along playing a losing game be-
cause certain towns are lamentably
weak. There is frightful expense at
tending the running Of ball team,
and 1t is not fair that team which
makes money at home should be COM
PEELED to carry along other clubs which
seem to have no good excuse for not
being strong and healthy. There is
lots of good material in the country,
and l think the time has come when
1t Is necessary for weak teams to
brace up. II there is not bracing up
in certain points along the line every
team in the league will likely lose
money next year." Talk Of weak
teams strengthening is pretty-but the
desirable talent that the successful
teams carry for utility purposes can
not be purchased.

What tho People May Expect.

An evidence of what the people can
expect from Republican congress was
given in the prompt passage, almost
without debate, Of what is known as
the anti-scalping bill, that is, the bill
to prevent the sale of railroad tickets
by others than the authorized agents Of
the roads. Mr.. Bland bluntly stated
that the purpose of the bill was to le-
CALLING pooling of passenger traffic, and
to take away from the states, as far as
possible, jurisdiction over this busi-
ness. Mr.. Updegraff (Rep.) Of Illinois
made a warm speech In opposition to
the bill. He could not, he said. allow
so monstrous proposition as this bill
contained, to pass without word. It
ought to be entitled, "A Bill to Sup.
press Competition in Passenger Traf-
fc." Debate was cut off, and the bill
rushed to its passage the-vote standing
III for and 1O1 against the measure.
This bill has been pushed by the
railroads in almost every conceivable
manner for the past two years, says
the Journal of Agriculture, their object
being precisely what Mr.. Bland stated,
to pool the passenger traffic of the
country and evade the restrictions Of
the interstate commerce law. II the
bill should get through the senate and
become a law. as 1t will during the
next session, II not this, the travelling
public will be at the mercy of the rail-
roads, and the people know very we'll
how to appreciate the quality Of that
mercy. But some day the people
themselves will own the railroads, and
then 1t will be different.

Fouling ON nails.

There Is one rule on the books that
doesn't reach two members Of the Bal
timore team. 1t is the rule In regard
to fouling off balls Intentionally.
Hughie Jennings and Billy Keller can
foul a ball almost any time they want,
and do it without resorting to the
bunt. They did it in a close game
against the Reds last season, and
against a pitcher less cool and DELHI
crate than Still Bill Hill, their trick
might have brought disaster to the
Reds. Several times Jennings and
Keller went to the plate bent on get
ting their base on balls. Time after
time when Hill put the ball over the
heart Of the plate they would foul 1t.
in order to keep from having a strike
called. 1t was the old Arlie Latham,
Blonde, Purcell and Mike Kelly trick
Of leaving the bad one go by and foul
ing off the good ones. A rule was
passed years ago to cut of these tricky
players, and 1t was successful. They
used to foul 'em by the bunting route,
and 1t was easy to tell when they were
breaking the rules.
Jennings and Keller have way OF
beating the rule. They don't foul
balls off by bunting. The swing at

ed to the right.
In one of their last Cincinnati gamer
they made Hill pitch about twice al
much as he should. At one time at the
bat Jennings fouled off ten strikes.
While Gaffney might have suspected
that they were trying to embarrass
Hill, it was hard matter to say posi-
lively they were doing it Intentionally.
He should at least have warned them

Richard MansfeId-At Last He IL tho
Best American Actor-Other Actors
of Note.

To the grand gallery OF figures hero
&c, fantastic and poetic, which Mr..
Mansfield, with the hand and brain of
genius, has created, he has now added
another. In this generation few Gre
atoms and few actors have been so dis
cussed, so praised and so pursued as
this Cyrano de Bergerac, and Mr.. Mans
field In the part Although the play
has been acted, in American, at least,
but few months. 1t is on everyone's
tongue. The day for which Mr.. Mans
field has worked so bravely, so insist
emily and with such singleness of pur-
pose has arrived. Where Sir Henry
Irving stands in England Mr. Mansfield
stands with u.s. No caviling at his
methods or means, no exaggeration Of
his faults can change this. The pro-
duction of "Cyrano de Bergerac" is not
necessarily the browning work Of his
career, and no matter how good 1t may
be hope there are many greater tri-
umphs yet in store for him. But the
point over which can readily imagine
Mr. Mansfield most rejoices is that the
American people are accepting him and
taking him to their bosom as they
have, in his lifetime at least, no other
actor of their own race and country.
Why, the way people are talking about
Mr.. Mansfield, he might have been
born in London or beside the sacred
Seine!
It looks as II Mr.. Gillette has made
another big hit in the way Of comedy
writing. This time he is an adaptor, as
he was to some extent in his last farce,
"Too Much Johnson" 1t is from the
French, this last piece, and is called
because She Loved Him &c." It is a
comedy rather than farce, although
the plot tends more toward laughter
than any serious emotion. In 1t j. E.

RICHARD MANSFIELD AS CYRANO.
Der, the character assumed by Mr.. Mil
Ter, has been given the sobriquet OF
"the master" in his boyhood because
of HIS dominant nature. 1t has adhered
to him through manhood, because its
applicability increased with years. He
is a self-made man who brooks no OPP
position either in business or at his
home, and has become the ruler of the
financial market. He plans to marry
his daughter to a favorite nephew and
to receive his son as partner in the
firm. The daughter loves elsewhere
and the son desires to enter the army.
AS they will not give up their plans
in favor of his he turns them adrift.
The daughter marries and her hus-
band, mining engineer, Is entombed
alive in a mining accident. Faber's
wife wants to go to her daughter in
her distress. "The master" refuses to
allow her to do so and when she per-
sists he tells her she can never re-
turn. The favorite nephew rJbs "the
