THE LEAGUE PENNANT.
Of the Cities Now In the National
League Only Four Have
Had the FLAG

A few cities seem to have monopoly
on champion pennants. There are cities
have never fioated a league trophy. If
Brooklyn lands the pennant this season
and at this stage it seems to be about 2
to l that HanlOn's crew will finish first, it
will not be new experience for the City
of Churches.
Brooklyn has already had two pennants.
The American associatfon pennant Of 1889
was won by the Brooklyn team and the
National league pennant of 1890 was cap
tured by the same team. Since then Bos-
ton and Baltimore have divided the PEN
nants. OF the cities in the National
league circuit only four have float
ed league pennants. Chicago IS the only
one of the present western cities that ever
had that honor, and the Windy City has
hOated it four or five times Philadelphia,
Washington and Pittsburg have hammer
ed away season after season without
reaching the goal. Boston, New York
Brooklyn and Baltimore have had q mon
opOiy- Cincinnati never had a pennant. ex-
cept the American association pennant
Louisville has only had one pennant, and
that was a very cheap one.

Sewing Glasses In School

[F'rom the Philadelphia Press
An Industrial school for the instruc-
tion of young girls in the art of sewing
has been conducted at Titusville for the
past five years, with an average at
tendance of about one hundred girls at
each session. Now the ladies in charge
have formally petitioned that sewing
be made one of the studies in the pub
lie schools of the city, and have made
an offer to the school directors to pay
the expenses of the first years expert
ment, in order to demonstrate its ad-
vantages. Sewing is taught in very
few of the states public schools, al
though in Warren the study has proven
a useful addition to the curriculum.
School controllers are empowered to
introduce sewing instruction by an act
of May. 1895, which provides that in
every city of the second or third class
there may be established and maintain
ed studies in the mechanical arts and
kindred subjects.

CANTACUZENE PLEASED.
Newport Making Tt Pleasant For Miss
Grants Prince.

Newport, r. I, Sept. 11.-Newport is
doing everything possible to make it
pleasant for Prince Michael Cantacu-
zene and his fiancee, Miss Julia Dent
Grant. Saturday night Mrs. Potter
Palmer gave a dinner at Beaulieu in
honor of the prince and his bride-to-be,
and this evening the young people were
entertained at dinner by Doctor Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew. This affair was held in
the Governors room at the Casino. The
company included Mr. Reginald Tower,
charge d'afaires of the British embas-
Sy; Lady Bache Cunard, Senator and
Mrs. George Peabody Wetmore, Mrs.
William s. Post, Miss Anne Depew
Paulding, the Baron Herman, Mr..
Henry Minot, Mr.. George Griswold,
Mrs. L. Leroy Emmett, Mr.. Chauncey
DepeW, jr., and, of course, the prince
and Miss Grant. A dainty centerpiece
of flowers made the table unusually at
tractive.
The prince is making friends rapidly
and is taking a deep interest in all the
dOings of the young set of cOttagers.
He is enthusiastic in the matter of out
door sports and has offered some pret-
ty silver cups as trophies for a polo
match between the young Messrs. Pal
mer, Mr.. Robert L. Gerry, Mr.. Fl.
Roger Winthrop and other young men
whom he has met.
It was formally announced today that
the Grand Duke Cyril of Russia would
pc 1fInCe CanLacuZene best man on
the occasion of the wedding, but only
nominally, for he could not come over
for the event, and, accordingly, he has
asked Count Cassini, the Russian am
bassador, to act as his proxy. The
count, however, is in Europe in search
of health, and so he in turn had to seek
a proxy and invited Mr.. Honore Pal
mer, cousin of the bride, to act for him.
Mr.. Palmer will therefore accompany
the prince to the altar as the repre-
sentative of the Russian ambassador,
who in turn will be the representative
of the Grand Duke Cyril
According to a Russian custom, the
prince has asked the Grand Duke V1ad-
imir of Russia, an old friend of his
father, to be what is known as the man
of honor for the occasion. The Grand
Duke will neither be present nor repre-
sented, as ne need not be to carry out
the idea of his position.

JEALOUS OF GENERAL LAWTON.
''Otis is deeply prejudiced against and
jealous of Lawton and has done every
thing in his power to keep Lawton in
the background and prevent him from
making a reputation.
THE secret of the whole trouble here
is that the government has left a small
man to deal with the most delicate
problems, requiring broad statesman
ship.
I wish the etiquette offcialdom
might permit Dewey and Schurman to
speak to Mckinley and the public con-
cerning Otis as freely as they have to
the newspaper men. These two are the
only men of the calber of statesmen
the government has sent here.
otis is a bureaucrat who never
leaves his desk, has never seen his SOL
diers in the field and insist upon man
aging both the civil and military
branches of the government, although
either one would fully occupy a very
able man, because he trusts no one but
himself and withaI has a faculty for
antagonizing everyone with whom he
has to deal. as he has antagonized the

DELEHANTY AND BURKErr.
Fighting For the Lead as Premier
Batters of the League.

there will be a battle royal in the base
hit line, with Delehanty and Jesse Bur
that a couple of games might reverse the
lead any day, while nobody aside. from
Hickman, who has played in but few
games, is near enough to interfere with
the mighty pair.
The batting all along the line shows bet
ter than last year and up to the stan
dard of 1896. Base hits are more plentiful
everywhere and the leaders are, if any
thing improving, as is shown by the diff
ference between Keeler,s -S79 last season
and the -416 now carried by Deleh2nty.
McGraw still leads in runs scored and
stolen bases and Ely in sacrifices.
Jack Dunn leads the pitchers in fielding,
old Chief thinner the catchers, Beckley
the first basemen, Reitz the second base
men, Cross is far ahead of all at third,
Davis tops the shortstops and Hamilton
has a margin in the Outfield.
