Great Center Fielder to Marry and
Play in St. Louis.


New York. Feb 9-"Mr. and Mrs NJ
J. Griffin, st. Louis, Mo- is an inscrlp-
ton which may be found upon numer-
Gus hotel registers during the DaSeoall
season of 1900
For be it known that the great center
fielder, whose refusal to be transferred
from Brooklyn to St Louis without
proper consultation has deprived the
St. Louis team of a valuable player, mas
now recanted and is ready to turn hIs
face to the setting sun, and likewise
that he plans to take with him as VIE
and companion, a charming young Wo-
man of Utica, for whose hand and
heart he has long str1ven..
A close friend of Griffin, who 1t may
be presumed, has had an exceptional
opportunity to obtain the facts. said
Griffin will play in St. Louis this
season. There is not much doubt OF
that. His trouble with the Brooklyn
club is in fair way of settlement, so
that nothing remains but to come TO
terms with President Robson and
Manager Tebeau of the St. Louis club
Griffin has never had any objection TO
playing in st. Louis, as some neWSpa-
per writer's have stated. On the con-
trary, he likes the town and the people,
and has a very friendly feeling for
Tebeau and the RobisOns. l think If
the truth We're known, it would be
found that an affair of the heart, rather
than the controversy with the Brooklyn
management, is responsible for Griffin
isolation in Utica for the last year or
two"

LOVE AND PAIN.
First Is r'ltcd with spit Balls Other
Rubbed with Dirty Hands.


What a funny notion! 1t was at
temple in Kyoto says lions Herald.
Who would have thought to secure the
favor of the little winged god who is
more or less worshipcl in all lands on
February II. by pelting him with spit
balls, But, then, this god was not
like the cute little cherub who pro-
sides over the lovers destnies in the
United States. He is an immense, gro
teSque-lOOking creature, painted in
gaudy colors, sitting on lotus plant,
with a wonderful EXPIRE ssiJn of counte-
nance, half smile and half frown. His
wOrshipCrs who desire that their love
affairs may prosper write their petit
tons to this god Of the heart on thin
white tissue paper, put 1t in their
mouths and chew it until il becomes
pulp, and then throw it with all their
might at the grim old god. II it STICKS,
they go away contCnted, feeling that
their love affairs will surely prosper; If
it falls to the ground it is as III an
omen as falling upstairs. Not this
year" but next year, he or she may
nope for better luck. We saw many
hundreds of blasted hopes lying on the
floor at his feet, but face and BODY
wrcre plastered all over with the pray
crs OF the more fortunate. In another
temple the little black god of pain,
carved from ebony, sat on a platform
raised about twelve inches from the
floor. He is about three feet high. We
stood for long time watching the de-
voices as they prayed to him FOR heal
ing. At his feet was the inevitable
treasure chest into which few copper
coins were first cast, hands clasped,
bell rung, prayer offered, and then the
body OF the image rubbed just where
one has n pain or disease, after when
the same part of the body of the sup
plant is rubbed. This is repeated by
each person several times. This god
has stood there so many years and
been rubbed by the fingers OF so many
thousands OF sufferers, that his nose
and ears and general features have
been almost entirely rubbed off, until
he has no expression left, and his head
looks more like large nutmeg than
anything l could think OF. The place
where the eyes should be is rubbed
into) a deep cavity, for ophthalmic dis
eases are very prevalent in Japan and
China. One can reasonably doubt any
beneficial result when he sees scores
OF blind or eyesore people come up and
rub their own diseased eyes and again
