The Chicago Chronicle says: There is
now little doubt that the Western League
will start the season of 1900 with a ball
team in Chicago. 1t is practically certain
that LOTUS will bring his Grand Rapids
franchise here and be at the head of the
Chicago Western League team. 1t is prob
able, too. the Western League will attempt
to strengthen its circuit by placing team
In either Cleveland or Toronto, as several
Western League owners favor accepting
the National Leagues terms and taking
the Cleveland territory, in which case
Charles Comiskey, now at Minneapolis,
will be placed in charge of the players in
the Forest City. III all these things are
true there will be three baseball teams in
Chicago at the start of the season Of 1900,
the intention of the National League being
TO have matters SO fixed that the Western
League team viii be playing here while the
National Leaguers are on foreign ground.
This will occupy the territory during the
entire playing season, and leave no open
dates for the new American Association

The solution of the bitter controver-

The reasons for that union no longer

years ago. but the conservatism CT the

The strength of the Ritual move

'Popery' with steadfaSt energy, seems
to justify the prediction of one Eng

tarianism on the other. This may
not be a correct prediction, but it is
certain that many educated English
people, as we'll as many educated and

THE IMMIGRATION MATTER.

It'll Congress replaces them with 9th +

If the governor of any State or Ter

his policy either from a natiCnal or a
local standpoint, unless he pursued l.
policy at all and was governed only
by his own selfish views

Executive from a national stan 1poiuc

force the rule laid down in the plat

matter. That party declared its ''nn
alterable opposition to Asiatic immi-
grafton" But i'm fact dts opposition IS
a very 'falterable'' one. The special
organs of the party do not now dwell
on the subject.
Nor is there any wisdom in the Elk
ecutive pointing to it ais an authori-
tative way of dispensing of the labor

an obsolete affair.
But it would be reasonable, even If
not consistent, for the members of the
party to come forward in the present

For some years IN the offices of sew
eral very prominent stock brokers con-
nected with the New York Stock Elk
change was a small thin woman, who
dressed with the simplicity of a farm
er'S wife. She was known as the
photographer, and took the orders of
the out of town customers. She was
the daughter of one of the early mis-
stonaries to there Islands, and was
born on one of them. Her knowledge
of the prices of stocks, of the details
of the organization of railway COM
panies, of the plans of operators was
SingulaTly accurate. Prominent men
living in distant places became &C
quainted with her cover the wires and
several of them, after making an ac-
quaintance with her urged her to spec
ulate for them Thuriow Tweed, the
Republican leader of New York State,
was one CT these who had faith in her
these men who operated through her
made money, they rewarded her 1iber-
ally. At times she made large sums
of money. She did not appear to care
for it She loved to gamble she said.
One of the brokers in whose employ
ment she was urged her to put some
thing aside for a rainy day, and he
called her attention to the maxim of
Wall street that ninety out of hum
dred dealers in stocks went to the wall.
She refused to take advice. She be-
heved, ais most operators believe, that
her success was assured, and she CON-
fused what was due to good Judgment
with that which was due to good luck
She credited any success ITO her own
judgment.
When the decline in prices came,
her friends lost, because she, like all
other women, was an optimist in spec
uhation. Thereafter she might be seen
for many months fitting i'm and out
of the money brokers' offices, giving
Imaginary points to the operators, and
if they were used, getting some pit
tance out of the winnings. And she
continued 10 talk millions" with ease
and intel gence until she, like the rest,
disappeared from the street.
The hot of women who deal in stocks
and are really gamblers in stocks, is
most unfortunate in the event OF loss.
They cannot recuperate as men do.
The money they lose in operating
has not been earned, but inherited, and
the value of it is unknown to them.
As it cost them nothing to inherit i,
they believe that it really costs moth

When they realize the fact that non

They will endure great privations IN
diving. and Indulge in dreams OF great
successes on the exchanges, but they
are the bette noir of the brokers' Off
ces. In all respects, they resemble the
broken down gamblers who hover
about the faro banks, hoping that some
kind person will give them a chance
to play.
