BASE BALL BRIEFS.

No Cincinnati player who has not
signed a contract will be taken south
with the team next month.
Mr.. Boyce, the new owner of the Roch-
ester club, is said to be a millionaire.
Rochester needs such a man.
Tom Mansell, once a star batsman in
the association, is now making base hits
with a policeman's club in Kansas City.
Gus. schmelz says he will nave no more
active base ball in his. Selling sporting
goods is more remunerative and no roasts
go with it.
An effort is being made to resurrect Gil.
Hatfield, the old New Yorker, to manage
the New London, Conn, team next sea-
son. Gil. refuses.
Manager Hanlon denies that the Balti-
more team will be a farm for the Brook
lyns. 1t would be dangerous to base ball
if it were otherwise.
In Louisville last season 15,000 free adj
missions were given, exclusive of ladies'
days. This number will be cut down by
15,GG0 for 1899-say the directors.
ICY" Bowen. the Indiana twirler, who
was found wanting by New York, prob
ably will land in Detroit next season. He
has been claimed by the Wolverines.
Snapper Kennedy, who once refused
to become a Red, has signed to play in the
outfield of the Syracuse team. He is on
the road to the big league again.
The Short Stop Inn is the name of
Ed. McKean's recently purchased resort,
which is becoming quite a headquarters
for the Cleveland sporting fraternity.
Ted Lewis, the Boston pitcher, is a busy
man these days. He attends a school of
oratory, looks out for the Harvard pitch

Red" Ehret's venture into the saloon
and bowling alley business has been so
successful that he probably will not play
ball again. He is located at Colerain and
Marshall avenues, Cincinnati.
Bob Gilkes, the old Cincinnati boy. is
engaged in business in Toledo. He may
give up base ball next season, as Presi-
dent Strobel of the Toledo club, refuses to
come to his figures.
Mr.. Boland, one of the Buffalo member
of the New York Legislature, has intro
duced a bill that if passed will give to
the aldermen in cities powers to permit,
by ordinance, Sunday base ball in thai
State, under such regulation 'as will pre-
vent theLserious interruption of the re-
pose of the community" Mr.. Boland
says he will push his bill and expects it
will pass.
The Birmingham team of the Southern
league has made an offer to Monk Cline,
the veteran player. Monk has been out OF
the game for several years and has been
earning his bread with the Louisville Fire
Department. 1t is thought there is good
playing in him yet, and he has decided to
take another try at the game. Monk is in
excellent condition.
HEX Carpenter, the old third basemar
of the Cincinnati Reds, who has been a
Pullman car conductor for nearly seven

A PLAGUE OF THE NIGHT.
A Remarkable Number.of Cures Made by
the Pyramid Pile Cure.

Remarkable Number.of Cures Made b
the Pyramid Pile Cure.
About one person in every four
suffers from some form Of rectal
disease. The most common and
annoying is itching piles, indicated
by warmth, slight moisture and in
tense, uncomfortable itching in the
parts affected.
The usual treatment has been
some simple ointment or salve
which sometimes give temporary
relief, but nothing like a perma-
nent cure can be expected from
such superficial treatment.
The only permanent cure for
itching piles yet discovered is the
Pyramid Pile Cure, not only for
itching piles, but for every other
form of piles, blind, bleeding or
p%rotruding. The first application
gives instant relief and the contin-
ued use for a short time causes a
permanent removal of the tumors
or the small parasites which cause
the intense itching and discomfort
of itching piles.
Many physicians for a long time
supposed that the remarkable re-
lief afforded by the Pyramid Pile
Cure was because it was supposed
to contain cocaine, opium or sim
liar drugs, but such is not the case.
A recent careful analysis of the
remedy showed it to be absolutely
free from any cocaine, opium, or in
fact any poisonous, injurious drugs
whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile
Cure is probably the only pile cure
extensively recommended by ply
sicians, because it is so safe, so
prompt in the relief afforded and
so far as known the only positive
cure for piles except a surgical
operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile
Cure has become the best known,
the safest and the most extensive
ly sold of any pile cure before the
public.
Nearly all druggists now sell it
at so cents and 81 per package.
Address the Pyramid Co., Mar
shall, Mich, for book on cause and
cure Of piles and also hundreds of
testimonials from all parts of the
United States.
If suffering from any form Of
piles ask your druggist for a pack
age of Pyramid Pile Cure and try
it tonight.

NOTHING
Developed at Yesterdays Session of the In.
quest Over Mrs. Adams.

quest over mrs. Adams.
New York, February 15.-Fred E.
HOvey and DR.. Edwin F. Hitchcock
were the only witnesses examined in
the Adams inquest to-day. DR.. Hitch
cock attended Mrs. Adams after she
had taken the poison. No develop
ments of any note were brought to
light, and the mystery is as deep as
ever.
The witnesses were repeatedly led
up to a point where it was thought
something of a startling nature might
be evolved, when the attorneys would
branch off on a different line of cues
tioning.
DR.. Hitchcock was still on the stand
when court adjourned until tomorrow.
1t is now believed that Mrs. Moli-
neuX will not be called to the witness
stand before Friday.
Frederick Hovey, who was in the
Adams apartments when Mrs. Adams
died, was examined by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Blumenthal.
Mr.. Hovey said he knew Mrs. Adams
and her daughter, Mrs. Rogers, very
well, He a also well acquainted
with Harry S. Cornish. He had never
met Henry c. Barnet. Witness said
that at about 8 O'Clock on the morning
OF the tragedy he heard Mrs. Adams
say: Wait a minute while l get a
glass of water" There was an interval
OF a few minutes and he heard Mrs.
Adams say she was sick. Then he
heard the sound of retching and Mrs.
Rogers cried to Cornish to come and
help mamma" He heard Cornish 20
to the bed oom and then Mrs. Rogers
called witness to help. Cornish was
taken sick as he helped to carry Mrs.
Adams to a lounge. Cornish called to
the hall boy to, run for a doctor and he
himself ran into the dining room, took
the bottle of powder off the table and
rushed to a drug store. When he came
back he handed Hovey a phial and
said: Give her twenty drops in wa
ter" Mrs. Adams was not conscious
and it was impossible to get anything
into her mouth.
Then the doctor came. He said the
case vas serious and took some medi-
cine from his pocket. Witness did not
remain in the room and did not know
what the doctors did after he left.
The doctors and Cornish talked about
the contents CT the bottle. He could
not remember just what was said. 1t
was a general conversation.
H0vey said that the DON where Cor
nish slept was next to his own, and
that Mrs. Adams and her daughter,
Mrs, Rogers, occupied a room together
at the opposite end Of the fiat.

In my opinion Toledo would be a bet
ter city for the Western league than
Cleveland" said Manager Bancroft to the
Cincinnati Enquirer. Considering the
splendid team that represented the Forest
City, the fine ball Tebeau's men played
year in and year out, and the estimate
that Cleveland is by long odds the worst
base tall city in America is inevitable.
We have played in Cleveland under the
most suspicious conditions. We have
had the opening games or the season, as
well as holiday dates, and not once did we
play to more people han could be called
an ordinary crowd in a good base ball
city. III venture the assertion that the
Cleveland club has been given ten times
as much by the Cincinnati club for its
share of the receipts of games played in
this city as we ever received in Cleveland.
st. Louis in place of Cleveland viii mean
a great deal to the Cincinnati club fnan-
cially. The intense rivalry that used to
exist between the Cincinnati and St. Louis
teams when the famous Browns were at
their best will be revived. st. Louis with
a good base ball team will be a good base
ball city"

of the worlds record at the end of the
43rd hour in the six-days' bicycle race
at Mechanics Pavilion. To this in
crease the men have been adding rapid
ly by regularly travelling 10 miles to
the hour. The reason for this is that
the track is the fastest we con
structed.

WHITNEY is NOW A BREEDER.

LEXINGTON, KY, February 15.-Wil-
liam c. Whitney has at last bred a
thoroughbred, for on yesterday at La
pBeile farm, his valuable mare. Kildeer,
by imp. Darebin, dam Lou Lanier, gave
birth to a fine bay colt by imp. Meddler.
He is one Of the best colts foaled in Ken
lucky this season and Mr.. Headley says
he shows his excellent breeding so plain
ly that he attracts the attention of all
who have seen him.
Several other mares belonging to the ex-
Secretary will soon drop foals. His mares
are in fine condition, as are his $4,000
stallion, imp. Meddler. Reckon and Hol-
iday, two superior mares belonging TO the
Morrises, have each foaled colts by Han
