BOSTON. March 16.-President Soden, OF
the Boston Baseball Club says that 1t is
true that Andrew Freedman has not put
his name to the agreement signed by the
seven other magnates who have decided
to pay a sum Of money TO the four clubs
retiring from the National League. He
thinks that the trouble with Freedman is
that he has been asked more money for
some of the players he wanted than he
believes they are worth. but that the com
plant is only temporary, and that matters
will be fixed up so that the team Will be
able to make a respectable showing during

pated and Provided For.
In answer to many enquiries by inter
ested fans as TO the status Of affairs in
case Mr.. Freedman perststently refuses to
sign the agreement for a reduction of
the League membership; 1t can be stated
that just such an emergency-was provided
for. The arrangement H. brief is that the
other seven clubs will prorate and pay the
New York clubs assessment. Thus it can
be seen that Mr.. FreedmaTi's refusal to
sign will not in any way obstruet the
organization OF the eight-club league
J. Earl Wagner says that the formation
Of two eight club leagues IS not only nee
essary as a means Of projecting valuable
franchises. but will prove wise in the end
as a financial feature. Mr.. Wagner has
been advocating two eight-club leagues
for two years, and as IL is one Of his pet
schemes he is not only confident but en-
thusiastiC as to the outlook and says that
he can In a few days have his fences in
perfect order for a vigorous campaign.

PAINTED FURNITURE AGAIN,
An Old Style Rcappears In House,
hold Furniture Stores. ..4.-

hold Furniture Stores. ..-.--
The painted furniture formerly des-
cribed as cottage sets" passed out Of
style more than a score of years ago.
It was always looked upon as a rather
economical and modest substitute for
the black walnut carved set, or even
the more costly rosewood, which was
in those days the last word in modish
and expensive furniture. The cottage
furniture" could be of cheaper wood,
because the thick paint covered UP all
trace of it's quality.
Gloomy grays, dull green's. and steely
blues were the tints most admired in
this old-fashioned furniture. The back
grounds were relieved by crudely
painted punches of flowers, which orna-
mented-if anything so intrtnsically
hideous could be said to have that
effect anywhere-the head and foot of
the beds and were applied in more di-
minutive form to the bureaus and
other pieces of the "set." Cottage fur
|niture was always sold in a set.
1t was very cordially despised, after
taste turned toward the antique wooden
furniture, brass beds and all the similar
improvements, that came during the
past score Of years. The cottage sets
were relegated to the country residences
servants rooms, and other inconspic-
nous places. Since that time painted
furniture has not been seen until the
white enamelled chests Of drawers and
other wooden pieces began to appear.

with q combined docility and intelli-

training has developed to such degree
that they accomplish many feats SEEM
ingly impossible to animals of their

to supply the places of legs and arms,
they are most wondrous, winning and

plauds them, and the children just go
wild over them, and no wonder.

Now there are signs that the days Of
painted furniture may return, although
| it is not likely that the taste for it
will ever be strong enough to recover
the slightest favor for the cottage SETS
Painted furniture of the day is very
much more artistic and elaborate than.
its predecessor ever was. It is as ex-
pensive, too, as nearly any other kind.
and would never be bought for econ-
omy. White is the most popular color
for background. It is decorated for.

modern and best trained artists can
give them. There is as much differ
ence between them and the old painted.
pieces as there is between q crude.
chrome and a delicate water color.
Probably this same degree of differ
ence exists between all articles popular
for household decoration thirty years
ago and today. The old fashioned cot
tage furniture seems to have lisap-.
peared altogether and never likely to
reappear in any form. But Its direct
descendant, very much bettered and.
undoubtedly made much more expens

niture establishments as one OF their

/ Deborah Sampson, who enlisted In the

enlisted in a Massachusetts regiment
and served three years before it was
known that the brave soldier was
woman. She was taken i'll in Philadel-

he placed his hand over her heart, and
finding to his surprise an inner Waise

ripped it open. She was Immediately
removed to the matron's apartments
where everything was done for her

learning that his aide was woman,
granted her an honorable discharge,
and presented her with a. letter from
Washington commencing her services
The humble soldier stood before him
with shining eyes filled with tears, and
thanked him many times, begging him
to ask that her fellow soldiers be told,
and that he ask them to tell him if
she had done aught that was unbecom-

comrades and officers declared their
respect for her was unbounded. Upon

ONE POLITICAL PARTY THERE.
Small Per Cent of Electors Vote a

Small Per Cent Of Electors Vote at
Elections In South Carolina.
In nearly all the states of the coun-
try there are two political parties, and
in some states there are three, four
or five. In South Carolina, however,
there is only one party for political
purposes and usually at an election
there is only one ticket in the field.
The choice presented to the voters
is to support that one ticket or remain
from the polls, and 1t sometimes hap
pens that the number who remain from
the polls is considerably larger than
the number who participate in the cleo
ton. Thus, at the last state election
for governor in the state of South
Carolina the total vote there was
only one ticket in the fleld-was $4,000,
while at the presidential election Of
two years preceding the total votes was
S. 900. Thus It appears that at least
40, 900 electors took no part in the con-
test Of 1898 for governor, state officers
and members Of congress, against Is. 900
who did.
There are in South Carolina abut
