Baltimore 3, Brooklyn S.


Brooklyn, October 14.-The season
ended here in a row. In the second
inning Sheckard assaulted Umpire
Hunt for calling him out on steal,
and then refused TO retire from the
game when ordered to do so. Hunt ap-
pealed to Captain Smith and Manager
McGraw without effect. He then ap-
pealed ITO Hanlon. who occupied the Pc
culiar position of president of the Bal
timores and manager of the Brooklyns.
Hanlon told him that he would support
the umpire in any action he might take.
Whereupon, the game was declared
forfeited to Brooklyn. The score at
that time was l to in Baltimore's
favor.
A game postponed from Baltimore
was then played, to appease the crowd.
Brooklyn won by batting Howell in
timely fashion. The Orioles tried to
delay the game by throwing the ball
over the lot in the fourth inning, but
were foiled. The Brooklyns won the
series eight to six, thereby taking
every league series. Attendance $500.

FAST BALLOON TIME.
Swiftest Trip on Record Made by
Prussian Army Officers

Berlin, March 16.-Three Prussian Of
hcers-Lieuts. Siegsfeld, Hildebrandt
est balloon trip on record Harthausen,
member Of the ballooning department
of the general staff, gave a thrilling de-
scription of his experience.
'On the morning of March we de-
cfded to ascend from Templehoferfield.
There was a strong, steady northwest
wind. Our plan was to descend at
Breslau, in Silesia, and be back in Ber-
lin the same evening.
I'VE had an ordinary military balloon
but heavily ballasted as 1t was we
shot up with fearful rapidity. The start
was made at 1910 p. m. The balloon
tore along over the plain watered by
the Oder. You noticed speed when look
ing down on earth, but looking upward
there was no sense Of motion what
i ever. You felt as if the balloon were
hanging still in the sky.
I'VE swept over Breslau at a height
of 1000 feet in a little less than three
hours. We made no attempt to de-
scend, the wind being too strong. We
were travelling at the rate of 68 miles
an hour with an ease, a smoothness
and delightful sense of exhilaration i'm
possible to describe.
Breslau was passed. The wind in
creased and we determined to offer no
resistance, but to turn our backs to it
and let it carry us where it pleased.
The balloon gradually rose, and at 3
o'clock we crossed the Austrian frontier
at an elevation of $500 feet at terrific
speed.
I'VE decided to sink the balloon and
safely brought her to a standstill at
the village of Baguska, in Galicia, 423
miles from Berlin as the crow flies, at A
o'clock.
This is the fetsest balloon trip on
record, the previous record being held
by a pair of French aeronauts, who
Travelled four hours at so miles an
hour"
This feat has excited great interest
here. The three officers were especially
cOmplimented by the Kaiser.

Archbishop Corrigan Tells How He
Once Aided q Burglar.

New York, March 16.-Archbishop Cor
rigan. speaking of the possibilities in
prison reform work, related a bit of per
sonal history which had long remained a
secret in his own breast
1t was at a meeting in the home of Mrs.
Westervelt to form plans to aid Mrs. Fos-
ter, the 'tTombs angel" in her work.
Archbishop Corrigan took an active inter
est in the proceedings, and after Mrs. Fos-
ter had told how her self-imposed task had
often been made lighter by the deeds of
those she helped, he spoke of an expert
ence he once had with one just out from
prison.

CRITICISM TALMAGE.
For His Manner Of Leaving the Wash
ington Church.

Washington, March 16.-Dr. Talmage's
manner of leaving the First Presbyter-
ian church continues to excite much in
dignant comment in Washington. Since
his marriage to his present wife he has
been more Indifferent to his parishion-
ers than ever. Mrs. Talmage was a
Mrs. Collier of Pittsburg, and woman
of great wealth. She has made herself
agreeable to the friends of the family,
who have nothing but kind feelings for
her. In many instances her tact has
made contrast to DR.. Talmage's
brusque manner, especially with those
who are lacking in prominence and
wealth. The parishioners of the First
church say DR.. Talmage goes about to
afternoon teas and receptions, but has
no time for parochial duties. His fine
victoria, lined with tan-colored cloth, is
one of the most snowy turnOutS of the
city. This came into the family with
the present Mrs. Talmage. 1t is seen
on the avenues and West End streets
every fine afternoon when DR.. and Mrs.
TalmaSe drive out.

THE IRON CHANCELLOR.
Immense Sale of His Memoirs-Rus-
STA Prohibits.

The Supreme Press department of
Russia, it is said, has set its seal of dis
approval on the Iron ChancellOr's book,
published in the United States by Har-
per & Brothers, and a strict censorship
has refused booksellers permission to
put the work on sale. Thousands of
copies are hidden throughout the en-
pire, waiting to be disposed of secretly
or for a relaxation of the censorship.
The question will be finally settled by
the minister of foreign affairs, and at
present is waiting for his decision. The
Press department took this action be-
cause the work contains many referen-
ces to subjects which are still tender to
Russian SensibilitieS, and which in the
cars realm are never mentioned. In
connection with this it is interesting to
note the reception which the book has
met in Germany. Six weeks ago 100, 900
copies had been sold, but if report is to
be credited that is but the beginning Of
it's circulation. On December 5th the
Berlin correspondent of the London
Standard wrote that $4,000 copies had
then been ordered, but as only 100, 900
copies had been printed it would be
months before all orders could be filled.
1t seems the German publishers esti-
mated that the book should sell at least
as we'll as General Grants Memoirs,
and regulated the size of their first edi-
ton on that expectation.
