Men Who Made Brooklyn's Winning BASEBALL Team

ID ROOkLYN'S ball team won the n psnnant of the National league
 this year after brief but spirit ed struggle at the end. with the on rushing pirates of Pittsburgh. Just to demonstrate for the second time that they were the premier players of the big league, the Brooklynites engaged in cup series with Pittsburgh, as post-season attraction, and easily con- quered over the pirates. Why did Brook lyn win? That query is easily an swered now by the many who follow baseba.l-the team had the best pitch ing staff in the league for emergency work. it's batsmen were among the greatest generals. and the team work eXcslled even when individual batting suffered pronounced Siumps. Before the season began an eastern paper asked for opinions on the result af the psnnant race. In company wHl sew er2l others, l gave il as my opinion that Hanlon's team would again take off the pennant because of it's personnel. It had the pick of the men of Brooklyn and Baltimore to select championship ID material from and, better than all, it had the shrewd and lucky Ned Hanlon to enforcs discipline.
 Standing out in bold relief is the work of Pitcher Joe McGinty-he told me the other day that he never could understand how they began to spell his name McGinnity. This iron man." unhappily for Brooklyn and the fans, is determined to forsake baseball to attend solely to his iron foundry busi- ness in the Indian territory. McGinty is the pitching marvel of the year. He participated in 42 games, and he won

Michigan.

DETROIT, Nov. S.-Returns from the state up to 10 o'clock last night give President Mckinley plurality of 9O,S5S and Colonel A. T. Bliss, the Republican candidate for governor, 60,069. Colonel Bliss is running about 2O,C00 behind his ticket, and Mayor Maybury, the Demo- cratic gubernatorial candidate, is q core spending number ahead of his ticket. In 1896 Mckinley's plurality in Michigan was 56,17O. Governor Pinsree ran 10000 ahead of the Republican ticket that year, getting a plurality of 3.1O7. The Repub- licans have increased their majority in the legislature on joint ballot by seven. The Democrats have elected none of their senatorial candidates and only II out of 1G0 representatives in the lower house. Senator James McMillan's reelection by the next legislature is a certainty. The entire Michigan congressional delegation is Republican by largely increased ma jorities in most of the districts.

Mend:aC .n Ordinary Chain.

The operation of mendin~ an ordi- nary chain is the same whether a so- called stretched chain is to be short ened by the removal of a link or 8 broken link is to be replaced. One of the heads of the rivet is filed down sufficiently to admit of it's being driven out. The new link is then put in place, and new rivet inserted and clinched. In some forms of chains the outer faces of the links are counter sunk to receive the heads on the riv- cts. In such cases the head of the rivet cannot ba entirely filed away, but must be bored out by 8 drill, which. can only be done by a repair man or other person equipped with 9 suita bls tool.

CLEVELAND, Nov. B. Mckinley carried the state by upward of 60,0OO plurality. The entire Republican state ticket was elected by pluralities slightly below that of Mckinley. The Republic ans have elected 15 congressman sure and the Democrats sure. The Democrats lose the notorious John J. Lentz by about 15O votes. The Democratic Third dis trict and the Republican Twentieth tiis- trict are still in doubt. Both the Tkird and Twentieth are confidently claimed by Chairman Dick and will probably so Re publican. Congressman Burton was re- elected. His majority was not quite as large .. in 1898. Burton ran ahead of his ticket in the wards which go to make up the Twenty first district. There was never any doubt of his election.

ILLINOIS.
Yates CRcpo Hns n Large Majority.
 The Next Legislature.

AS -sSAt
 : CHICAGO, Nov S.-Additional re- turns received show that McKinIey,s plurality will run close to 100, 900 and that Yates for governor between TO- OcO and SQ.000.
 Returns received from the state at large de not materially alter the political complexion of the next state legislature The probability is that the Republicans will have majority of about 9 on joint ballot, which means a Republican sue cessor to Senator Cuiion- It is irnpossi- bic at this time to give figures with strong assurance of accuracy, but the next Illinois legislature will probably be about as follows: Senate-Republcans 34; Democrats, IT. House-Republicans, TO; Democrats. 74. The present house is Republican by ten, and the hold over sem ators give a Republican majority of eight in the senate, and the Democrats figure that with but slight gains they will be able to have majority Of one or two on joint ballot and thus replace Senator Gull lom with Democrat. In the event Sf their obtaining the control of the legs lature it is certain that Samuel A. Schu- Ter, the defeated Democratic candidate for governor, will be sent to the senate. "
 The Republicans, however, claim that there is not the slightest doubt of their having control of the legislature and give plausible figures in support of their as sertions. Some of them claim S5 mem berS of the house, but this is considered excessive by the conservative members of their own party.
 Later advices may modify the result as given above, but present indications give the legislature safely to the Republicans.
