innocent, and I know my vindication
will come some day" He has been
given every opportunity to explain
what he did with the vast sums of
public money that were traced to his
door, but has not done so. He simply
declares that he did not steal the money
and asks that his declaration be be-
heved.
With the prison door open to receive
him he broke down, and terror took
possession of his SOUL He had seen
enough of army prisons to know and
appreciate the horrors of the conVicts
life. Every instinct of his nature re-
Boiled against the idea of being Gagged
for five years with a herd of common
criminals. and for a few days the doc
tors feared he would suffer nervous
collapse.
Then his pride reasserted itself. If he
had to be a convict he would, at least,
show the world that he was still a man.
He would let his enemies see the kind
of stuff he was made of and make his
friends believe that he was a persecu-
ted hero. So when the time came for
him to leave Castle William and start
to Fort Leavenworth he surprised every
one who saw him with CHEEKY smile
and a bearing that was anything but
detected
When he was ushered into the war
den's office at the old fort there was
another breakdown, but it was only for
a few moments. The warden knew the
thoughts that must have come to him
with overwhelming force. His comment
was that t2094 took his medicine like
man."
Since he has become a part of the
great penal machine Carter has had lit
tie to say to the few visitors who have
CHANGED to stop before his cell door. He
has stoutly declined to discuss his case
and has gone about his work with ap-
parent interest and zeal.
The prison guard who patrols the wall
on which the window of cell No. 2094
looks says that on one or two occasions,
when festivities were in progress in the
post ballroom he has seen a ghostlike
face pressed against the bars as late as
2 or 8 o'clock in the morning; and the
inside guard declares that on these &C
casions the prisoner has paced the floor
all night.
But what his imprisonment means to
him-what haunting memories and vain
regrets come to drive sleep away-hoW
it feels to be Stunned by his fellows
and driven to and fro at the point of
loaded musket-No 2O94 has declined to
say; and who but he can tell.

American LEAGUE Race.

The greatest upset in the American
League during the past week has been
the terrific slide of the white stockings.
After making better than the average rec
ord on the road Comiskey's team returned
home and celebrated the event by losing
four straight to Kansas City, reckoned as
one of the weakest in the lea que.
Kansas City'S victories over the white
stockings put them in fourth place in the
pennant race for a brief spell. The
chances, however, are against the cow
boys passing Chicago again this season.
Manning has a good team, but the fact
that the white stockings will be home for
a month gives the fans the idea that Chi
cago will be close to the top in a few
days Before the white stockings can get
higher, Cleveland, Milwaukee and Indian
apOlis will have to be disposed of. In
dianapOlis has commanding lead and
is, in fact, playing a. sensational game,
but the boosters will now be on the road
for some time, and slump may be look
ed for. Milwaukee will be at home, but
it has a more or less preearious hold on
second place, and there are only two or
three games difference between the white
stockings and the brewers.
Minneapolis has been playing a fair ar
ticle of ball during the week, and the mil
lerS Will be their own grounds for a
while. Buffalo, although capable of put
ting up q good article of ball, seems to
suffer from some unknown cause. Rum
ers of discussions are not credited, and
the bisons will probably pick up. Detroit
is see-sawing with the bisOns for last
place, but the tigers have taken the
last few days and shown that the team
is able to play good ball. Some one has
figured out that all the teams will be near
the 500 mark about July 4.

SORE AT M'GRAw.
Reason Given Why Umpire Emslie
Put the Player Out of the Game.

Boston, June 5-An the players feel
pretty sore about losing Saturdays
game, but agree that it was a great
contest from the Spectators standpoint.
Never before" said Tebeau this af-
ternoon, have I been witness to
game of ball like that. We lost it be-
cause McGraw was put out, but even
then we could have won it if it had
not been for a couple of errors and
some circus plays by Hamilton and
Tenny. Emslie was sore on McGraw
and put him out for that reason, and
not because Of his kicking. Mac hadn't
been doing anything at all, but just as
soon as he opened his head and asked
Emslie why Burkett was called out,
there was a fare-up on Emslie's part
and out Mac went"
"Emslie has been sore on me ever
since last season. said AIcGraw. He
and had a little difficulty, and he said
he would get even. This was his first
chance, and he took it, bringing a per-
sona1 grudge into a game of baseball.
If had gone so far as to be put out
for real kicking I wouldn't care a bit
or say a word, but 1t is mean for an
umpire to drag his grudges against a
player into a game"

Forged the Editors Name.

Wichita, June ut was discovered q
few days since by the officers of the
Fourth National bank that an unknown
man signing his name y. b. Jones' had
been promiscuously forging Col NJ. NJ
Murdock's name to checks and had
them cashed at the stores. Three checks
enumerating $44.75. were cashed in this
manner. All three of them contained the
signatures of Mr.. Murdoch, were drawn
on the Fourth National bank and were
made payable to J. 3. Jones. The fell
lows modus operandi was to present
the check at stores In payment of u
small bill of groceries. When they were
sent to the bank for collection they
were pronounced worthless.

Some Ball Notes.

Over 65, 900 pepople saw the league games
on Decoration day. This brought the at
tendance at the league games up to 600,
90, or about $4,000 for the eight clubs.
This, too, with twenty-three games post
poned by rain, cold weather and fire.
The winning pitchers this season have
been Bernhard, McGinnity, DOnahue,
Chesboro, Scott Dineen, Callahan, Car
rick and Kennedy While Bernhard leads
the bunch, closely followed by McGinnity,
ne has been hit for nearly ten hits to a
game, while McGinnity has held his oppo-
nents down to less than eight hits to
game. The strength of the teams has a
lot to do with the success of the pitchers

ing crossed bats with all the teams, Man
ager Selee said: we must have some
new players. Our boys fail to make good

National League Race.

Tom Lotus Orphans started in the
week within hailing distance of second
place in the pennant race of the National
League. Boston left the west for home
practically tail-enders. Boston and Chi
cago are practically rubbing shoulders
The race tells a story of two teams.
Chicago has now been in the east sew
erai days and has found it a hard row to
hoe. It met the Quakers and took lust
one out of the series. 1t started in by
losing two games on Decoration Day, and
the next day the inevitable happened and
Chicago's infield went to pieces at q criti-
cal stage of the game.
Boston's steady climbing has been as
much Of a feature as Chicago's slump. 1t
started out worse than it ever did before
perhaps. Now 1t is back home and the
way the Beaneaters are going through the
rest of the bunch IS q caution. During
the week the Reds met with the same
proposition and again the veterans won
an extra inning game.
What has happened to Boston has also
been true with the rest of the eastern
teams. All of them with the exception
of New York, have proved themselves SUI
perlor to the western teams, and, Judging
from the present forms, the only hope in
the west for pennant honors must rest
with St. Louis.
Philadelphia is still away in the lead.

POTTERS DIVORCED.
Bishops Nephew and His Actress
Wife Legally Separated.

Newport, R. L, June 5.-James Brown
Potter, of Newport, has been granted
an absolute divorce from his wife, Cora
Urquhart Potter. with custody Of his
daughter,in the appellate division Of the
supreme court sitting here.
The petition which Mr.. Potter pre-
sented to the court prayed for a divorce
alleging wilful desertion for a period of
more than five years.
In his deposition James Brown Pot
ter testified that he was married to
Mary Urquhart in New Orleans in
1877. They went to New York to live
where a daughter was born in 1879. They
lived together happily apparently until
1886, when Mrs. Potter. her daughter,
mother and sister went abroad merely
for the summer. Before going Mrs. Pot
ter spoke to her husband several times
about adopting the stage professionally
but was refused. When abroad the sub
ject was renewed by correspondence,
Mrs. Potter urging her husband to con-
sent without success. Then he saw a
cable announcement that Mrs. Potter
had signed with the Haymarket thea
ter, London. He Immediately cabled
her demanding that She cancel the en-
gagement. Then followed correspond
ence by cable in which Mrs. Potter said
she had set her heart on her art and
would not comply, telling her husband
that her name would be beloved from
the Atlantic to the Pacific and he would
be proud of her. He still insisted that
she should keep off the stage.
Mrs. Potter replied that she loved her
art better then life and would not give
it up. She said that these were not days
of dark ages when women We're slaves
In correspondence with Mr.. Potter she
said his family was nothing to her, she
hated the very name of his people and
that Mr.. Potter's Uncle Henry Qmean-
ing Bishop Potter was all fuss and
feathers, name and family pride. Their
daughter remained with her mother I'M
til the latter came to America, when
Mr.. Potter took her to Tuxedo. Mrs
Potter visited there to see her daughter,
but was received only as a guest, not as
mistress of the house. Again she saw
the daughter on the streets in New
York some years later and would not
have known her had it not been for a
nurse who had been in the family since
the birth of the child During the alb
