PittsburE Defeated Yesterday for
Observation-Disclosures Trophy.
Yesterdays game at Pittsburg between
the Brookiyns and the home team was the
deciding one for the Chrontcle-Telegrapn
cup as the champions won by the score or
6 to 1. making the series stand to l in
their favor. McGinnity did the twirling for
the Brooklyns. and although he was nit
comparatively hard his support was of the
git-edge order. shutting out budding raj
lies by the Pirates when hits meant runs
Lever began the twirIing for the Pitts
hurgs and Waddell finished out the game
bo.h being hit at critical points and given
only fair support. The series has been
decided wa4kover for the Brooklyns, out
paying the Pittsburgs at all points in all

bunker, was recovered nicely on her third,

THE SMOKE LAW.
RearreSt of Alleged ViolatOr for
INSTRUMENTATION Denied.

Mr. Campbell Darlington, attorney for
Mr.. Weigand recently requested the Dis
trict Commissioners to direct that The
charge preferred against his client of vio-
la,ing the smoke law be nolle pressed. as
was done several days ago in some eighteen
alleged similar asses. Mr.. "a rington stat
tha Mr. Weigand is comparatively IoDr
man, and that his place of business is near
the car shops in South Washington, where.
MIR. Darlington charged, there is cons ant
smoke from steam engines.
Il am sure, added Mr.. Darlington, " hat
II is not intended that there should be any
discrimination in This matter, and [ re-
spectful.y ask that. as the Weigand case
was pending with The eighteen cases that
have been dismissed. the same &C ion be
taken in regard to ii.
The Commissioners referred the matter
to the health officer, DIR. VIM. c. Wo D.

of viola tors of the smoke law, and that Of

CacriuSton'S request.

Woodward. lin which this department re-
quested that prosecutions for alleged VIC a.
tons of he smoke law be discontinued
such action was based largely on the fact
that the acts comp aimed of had been COM
mitied prior to the decision of the Court of
Appeals susa aiming the law for the prevcn-
ton of smoke and, therefore. at a time
when the validity of that law might have
been questioned. and partly because. in
view of the length of time which ad
elapsed since the acts were done, it was be-
Heved no good purpose could be accom-
pished by prosecutions The case against

party responsible for them had full knnwl-
edge not only of the existence of the act
for the prevention of smoke. but also Of the
j fact that II had been upheld by the Court
of Appeals.
The prosecution has not been instituted

because Of repeated and almost continual
violations, and that notwit hstarding the

toms Shamrock H..
S. Nicholson Kane of the New York
Yacht Club regatta committee. and ]. V.
S. Oddie, the secretary of the club, were
both seen yesterday in New York, in re-
gard to the plans entertained for building
a yacht to meet Sir Thomas Liptons chal-
lenger, Shamrock IL At present these men
have nothing to say for publication on the
subject
1t is limited that one cause for delay is the
inability of intending syndicate builders to
find out how they stand in regard to the
Columbia. 1t is statement accepted as
fact that c. Oliver lseiin does not intend
TO bulid a new defender, and tbs, coup.ed
with the reported remark OIL Nat her-
reSnor, that the Co umDla Is good enough
to meet and defeat the Shamrock, seems TO
suggest two th4ngs-tirst. that the HERE
shons have recels ed 40 order TO bu,ld new
defender, and second, mat IN case such an
order does not come to them they intend
to remain in the cup defending business as
much as the present Columbia can keep
them in 1t. In Other words, the present
Columbia will be raced Tor every inch
there is in her to beat any boat produced
by rival designer ia the preliminary trial
races. M. b.
So far, the small amount of information
received seems SO suggest that hew build
ing syndicate which might wish to employ
some other designer than Herreshoff will
seek acceptance as q defender under very
different conditions from those which
favored the Columbia undertaking.
In short, it isssaid that anybody who now
thinks of going In for cup honors with a
rival designer s product will have first to
fee pretty certain that his new craft will
be able to give the Columbia an undeniable
beating in majority of the trial races,
and that there can be no side arrange
ments by which the older boat can be IN
dnced to remain in second place while
appearing to do her best. Among those
who have discussed this point there have
been several who said that those interested
in the Columbia were fully entitled to make
the best possible showing with their boat
and to keep her in the ring for as many
years as she could be proved unbeaten
The question Of the delay in announcing
the possible builders Of new defender was
yesterday the one absorbing topic in New
York yachting circles 1t was noted that
G. Oliver Iselin, has not been reported to
have said that he would not engage in cup
defense next year. but merely that he would
not build nor be in building syndicate
for a new defender. and the chief question
seems to be, What does Iselin intend to
do? VIII he push the Columbia to the ut
most in the trial races, or will he practi-
cally lend the Columbia as q trial horse for
the new boat. with the general idea that
the new boat should defend II she be a fair

THE CONFEDERATE BONDS.
Wild and Absurd Idea That The
Will Some Time BE Paid.

Wild and Absurd Idea That They
Will Some Time BE Paid.
From the Atlanta, Ca. Journal.
1t is surprising that there are in England
many persoEs who still cherish the delusion
that the bonds of the southern confederacy
will be paid These exceedingly credulous
mortals are not all cranks. On the con-
trary. some of them men who have
been eminently successful in business.
They have an organization known as the
British Capitalist Association, and it had a
meeting only few days ago. The secre-
tary reported that the society had S4O,UUO,-
900 of confederate bonds and s250JO,OUJ of
the bonds of the states of Virginia, Mlsss-
Sippi and Louisiana.
The value of these securities was dis
cussed at some length. and several members
declared their faith that they would be
paid by the United States government.
These Utopians are as wild as those who
expect to get pay for their emancipated
slaves.
1t will be remembered that some years
ago there was quite demand for con feder-
ate bonds. They were advertised for in
| many southern newspapers and brokers
were commissioned to buy them. The last
appearance of this craze was in 1885, we
believe. and even then as much as S12 and
slo thousand was paid for confederate
! lanta who sold large quantities of the bonds
| at that time. There was a wild rumor to
the effect that several millions of gold
! which had belonged to the confederacy had
been found in London, and that the late
/ Judah P. Benjamin had undertaken to OBJ
| tatr pnssession of 1t for the holders Of the
! confederate bonds This was. Of coursefi a
| ction. but it gained very wide circula ton,
| both in this country and England
! We have not heard of any transactions In
| confederate bonds recently. but we have no
! doubt that If some shrewd swindler were to
| make the effort he could find many pur-
| chasers FOR them. The gold brick business
still thrives, ard there will ever be flies
to patronize all the moiasses that can be

An Active SeasOn Expected Around
the Local Clubs.
The fall and winter season of whist gen.
orally opens about the first of October but
the warm weather placed a damper upon
the enthusiasts at the start OF this year.
The recent cool spell has brought the en-
thusfatic followers of the game to the front
and as consequence the numerous whist
club parlors have been crowded during the
past week. Reports from the Washington,
Marlborough and Crawford whist clubs and
the Columbia Athletic and Capital Bi clubs
indicate an unusually active season ahead
Many new members have been taken into
the clubs devoted exclusively to whist and
the other social clubs have added members
to their list ON account of the prominence

ALUM BAKING POWDERS.
Congress Acting to Suppress Their
Sale.

The report of the Senate Committee
on Manufactures upon the subject of
food authorizations and fool frauds has
created a sensation in Congress and
awakened great interest throughout
the country.
If there could be published a list of
the ante of all articles of food found
by the Committee to be adulterated or
made from poisonous ingredients, 1T
would be of inestimable value to the
public.
The recommendations Of the Com,
mittee that the sale Of alum baking
powders be prohibited by law, will
make of special interest the following
list of anne of baking powders con-
tanning alum sold in this vicinity:

1t is unfortunate that many manu-
facturers of alum baking powders
falsely state that their powders do not
contain alum. 1t is only right that
should have correct infor-
nation as to the character of every
article of food offered to them.

Thinning Stone Fruits.

Experiments in thinning apricots,
plums and peaches have been in prog
ress three seasons. With these fruits
as with apples the effect of thinning is
not always as pronounced the follow
ing year rs had been expected. In
some cases there appeared to be real
permanent advantage and An increased
yield in succeeding seasons, and again
the effect, II any, on the crop of the
following year, was in some cases OBJ
scured by cause not understood and
no advantage from the previous years
thinning of the fruit could be seen. In
some cases trees which were heavily
loaded and not thinned gave even
greater yields the following season
than were obtained from correspond
ing trees on which the fruit had been
severely thinned.
Early and severe thinning in gen
eral increased the percentage of the
higher grades of fruit. Where the
fruit grower car obtain corresponding
ly better prices for fancy fruit the
thinning may doubtless be made prof
liable with selected varieties of peach
eS and apricOts and in some cases with
plums also. Chemical analyses of
fruits which were picked at different
stages were made in the chemical de-
partment which showed that the
amount of potash in the fruit Of one
variety of peach increased 493 per cent
from June "a to July 81. The nitrogen
increased 240 per cen and the phos-
phoric acid 327 per cent in the same
period. The amount of potash in the
fruit of a certain variety of plum in
creased in the same period 296 per
cent, the nitrogen 222 per cent and the
phosphoric acid 156 per cent. This in
dicates how rapidly the fruits take up
plant food in the very early stages of
their growth and emphasizes the i'm
portance of doing the thinning very
early in the season.-New York Exper-
mental Station.
