tional League. All summer ennis
saries of the new league have been
busy working to consummate the per-
fectlon of the new organization, and
they claim to have succeeded. This
circuit, which has been completed, will
be composed of eight clubs, and will
include Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wash.
ington, Brooklyn, st. Louis. Detroit,
Chicago and one other city in the west.
The managers for the new teams have
been selected, and, it is claimed, the
Brooklyn club will supply three. Hugh
Jennings is likely to be at the head
of the Philadelphia club, while Kelly
will go to Washington and Cross will
manage the st. Louis team McGraw
will, 1t Is asserted, at last achieve his
hearts desire, and be at the head OF
the Baltimore organization. The re-
naming managers have not been an.
nounced, but they are said to be we'll
balanced baseball men, who have had
years Of experience. The Brooklyn
team will be the principal loser in the
matter of players, according to the
story, as no less than nine of it's con-
tingent have promised to jump the
National League when the opportunity
presents itself.

Curfew Law in Richmond.

The city council of Richmond, Va,
is at present very much divided over
a contemplated curfew law. The ordi-
nance was introduced at the last ses-
sion of the council and it caused the
most heated debate. The question of
was finally raised,
and after a lengthy argument the or
dinance was finally referred to the city
attorney to pass upon its legality. The
city attorney was instructed that if
the ordinance was not constitutional
to frame one that was to accomplish
the same ends. The mothers and faith
ers and the children of Richmond are
very much interested in the proposed
law and nearly every one in the city
has lined up for or against the ordi-
nance.

HUNTING DEVIL.
Russian Superstition Leads to an Act
of FendiSh Atrocity.

A crime which brings one back to
the middle ages in its barbaric super
stition has occurred at a village called
Lepeshy, about two miles from Ko-
brina. A few days ago fire broke out
in the village, which, rapidly spread
ing along the thatched houses, con-
sumed eight or them instantly and de-
stroyed many sheds and barns. A re-
port soon spread that it was the work
of the devil and the villagers set to
work to find his human representa-
tiveS. A man was soon spotted, an
old resident, in whose house some
mysterious goings-on were alleged to
have taken place, and he was brought
forth, his eyes burned out with a red
hot iron and his body scorched, and,
although a crowd Of yokels arrived on
the scene, no one interfered Sudden
ly a more brutal peasant came up and,
seizing a chopper, hacked the poor
victims head off. A strict inquiry by
the authorities is now proceeding.-

Satisfied with American.

That Cleveland will be in the Ma
tional League again next season is the,
latest in the baseball world, but while
this rumor may attract attention else
where, it is not likely to be credited
here, writes a Cleveland correspond
ent. Dispatches from the east state
that the national organization is anx-
ious to get a foothold in Cleveland
again, but they do not state how it
is to be done.
This may be all very we'll from a
National League standpoint, but there
are several other considerations, one
of them is the American League and
another is Cleveland This city has
had enough of the National League
methods as they are conducted at pres
ent and it would only require little
time in looking over the situation to
convince the magnates of that organi-
cation of the fact. One question put
to Mr.. Frank deHass Robson, late of
Cleveland, would undoubtedly elicit
convicting answer.
The American League took a chance
in Cleveland when the other organiza-
tion declared that baseball was dead
here. Results show that the National
League method and not the game were
the cause of the downfall.
When questioned about the above
dispatch, the owners of the American
League franchise in this city smiled
audibly Neither Mr.. Kilfoyl or Mr..
Somers toook the matter seriously.
I've will be in Cleveland with an
American League team next season."
said the former, 'and we are not open
to propositions from the national or
ganization'
The second plan suggested would
meet with more favor and it is consid-
cred as quite com pliment to the
American and as quite a comedown on
the part of the National League, which
latter organization has evidently dis
covered that it must meet the former

Their Absence from This Campaign q
Notable Feature.
In no previous national political
campaign, writes Fannie B. Williams,
has the negro orator been so little in
demand as in the present one. There
Is something quite interesting and sig
niticant in the waning influence of tha
negro as a spellbinder. In the earlier,
days of freedom, when the cause OF
the newly enfranchised people was a
subject of popular interest, the gifted
men of the race formed striking
and interesting feature in the politi-
cal campaigns and were to be heard in
every part of the north. The great
Frederick Douglass was one Of tho
stars in the armament of spellbinders.
His noble personality and rare elo-
quence gave an added interest and
zest to the campaigns. Mr.. Douglass
prestige made the negro's cause i'm
portant in every political contest, and
his counsel was always sought and
respected. But Mr.. Douglass was not
alone. There were several colored
men in Congress and many others
holding important federal positions
in the southern states who were men
of much eloquence and effectiveness
on the political stump. Prominent
among them were Prof. Langston.
John r. Lynch, ex-Gov Pinchback.
of Louisiana, and the late Senator
Bruce. All these men were immensely
popular, much in demand and were
justly valued as adding strength and
picturesqueness to the fighting forces
of the republican party. Most of the
orators of the early days have gone
to their rest. John R. Lynch, now a
paymaster in the United States army.
and eX-Gov. Pinchback live in retire
ment and ease in Washington, and
are about the only survivors of the
post-bellum negro orator. They are
still loyal to the Republican party,
but they are seldom heard on the po-
litical hustings.

"In the matter Of strategy woman

take the car away down at Fourth
street. The other evening | was busily
reading my paper when woman got
aboard at Twelfth street. I glanced
up slyly, and saw that all the seats
were occupied. Hasty as my glance
was she caught my eye and that was
my finish. Smiling broadly, she came
over to where | was sitting and ex-
claimed, why, how do you do? How
are all the folks?' l couldn't place the
woman to save my life, but 1 lifted my
hat and replied that we were all we'll.
She must be some friend of the fam
ily,' I argued with myself, so l folded
up my paper and gave her my seat.
After she had settled herself comfort
ably she looked up at me in queer
sort of way and said: Really, I must
beg your pardon. I took you for Mr..
Jones. You look so much like him.
But she had the seat, and she kept it.
1t was a clear case of buncO."

GRATEFUL FOR KINDNESS.
How an Indian Rewarded Man who
---- Rendered Him q Seryice.

How an Indian Rewarded Man Who
Rendered Him a Service.
President Dwight of Yale college,
tells a good story of Indian wit and
friendship. Ii the early days of Litch-
field, Conn.,, an Indian called at the
tavern and asked the landlady for
food, frankly stating that he had no
money with which to pay for it, She
refused him harshly, but a white man
who stood by, noted the red mans
half-famished state, and offered to
pay for his supper. The meal was fur
nished and the Indian, his hunger
satisfied, returned to the fire and told
mis- benefactor story "You know the
Bible?" said the red-skin. The man
assented. Well" said the Indian,
"the Bible says God made the world,
and then he took him and look at
him and say, He good, very good
He made light, and he took him and
look at him and say, He good, very
good Then he made dry land and
water and sun and moon and grass
and trees, and took him and look at
him and say, He good very good
Then he made beasts and birds and
fishes, and took him and look at him
and say, He good, very good Then
he made a man and took him and
look at him and say, He good, very.
good Then he made woman, and
took him and look at him, and he no
dare say one such world" That last
conclusion was uttered with meaning
glance at the landlady. Some years
after this occurrence, the man who
paid for the Indians supper was cap
tured by redskins and carried to Cam
ada, whee he was made to work like
slave. One day an Indian came to
him, recalled to his mind the occur
renee at the Litchfeld tavern, and
ended by saying: 81 am that Indian.
Now my turn pay. 1 see you home.
Come with me-" And the redskin
guided the man back to Litchfield.-

The National Leagues territory
will be invaded by the American
League, with or without the perms-
sion of the former, says Washington
! dispatch. The expansion policy of
the American League on a scale APP
preaching national proportions was
! definitely proclaimed yesterday for the
first time by Byron Bancroft Johnson,
president of the American League,
who, with Mr.. Somers Of the Cleve-
land club, has been here studying the
local situation for the purpose of Or
ganizing an American League club in
this city Johnson, when consulted as
to the purposes of the American
League, said:
I'VE nave concluded positively to
j.include Washington and Baltimore in
our circuit next season, probably drop
ping Minneapolis and Kansas City,
and are now considering arrangements
for this purpose. We have finally de-
termined to come east, regardless OF
the circuit grounds. While We wish
to work in harmony with the major
league we nave SEGWu ldl sc anu SIl lollS
enough not to be dictated to, and will
choose our own grounds and infringe
on National League territory, even
without its consent, if our wishes are
not respected. We are bound for
Baltimore, where we will look after
arrangements for club in that city
in the next couple of days. From
Baltimore we will go to Philadelphia
and New York, to canvas the situation
in those cities l. will call a meeting
of the American League magnates
within the next 10 days, when a re-
port will be made and the matter
discussed. We have decided upon the
above program after long and care
full consideration. We have proved to
the satisfaction of all the American
League cities and demonstrated to the
entire country that we know how
base ball should be managed and i'm
proved as a sport We had remark
ably successful career, and with WASH
ington and Baltimore in our circuit
will be stronger and more powerful

To Head Off Opposition.

Two plans Of action, it is under
stood, are being considered by the Ma
tional League magnates to forestall
the organization which was formed in
Baltimore lately under the title of the
National Association, says the New
York Sun. One of these plans is to
re-establish the twelve-club circuit,
the other is to join the American
League in scheme so that that or
ganization can extend it's circuit to the
east. Should the first proposition be
taken up Washington and Baltimore
will be embraced in the circuit in the
east and Detroit and Cleveland in the
vest. 1t is rumored that if the Sec
ond proposition is deemed feasible,
that is, coalition with the American
League, the league will be composed
of teams in Boston, Philadelphia Bal
timore and Washington in the east,
and Cleveland, Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Louis in the west further
feature of this scheme would be that
the American League schedule would
be so arranged as to have games on
National League grounds in the east
ern cities and in St. Louis and Cleve-
land, while the clubs of the larger Or
CARNATIONS were travelling. The Ma
tional League, to carry out this, would
provide the grounds in the places not
the magnates are said to think, would
discourage the National Association in
that it would insure continuous base
ball in the cities which, it is expected,
will have association franchises

Revolution in Automobiles.
F. A. VERDI.

A new automobile has been invented
by a Russian named Hutal Serky. He
has discovered new system of loco
motion based on the use of a certain
kind of salt, the composition of which
is as yet his secret. Two pounds Of
this salt placed in the box of the au-
tomobile and subjected to certain
heat forms gas which puts cylinder
in movement. The automobiles that
were tried in Moscow produced the
best results. The emperor of Russia,
who takes great interest in this inven-
tion, intends to send Serky to Paris
to make known his secret. The Rus
sian press is of the opinion that it will
cause a great revolution in the trade.

Sullivan's Operation.

John l.. Sullivan was obliged to sub
nit to a severe surgical operation for
congenital hernia on October 25th at
the Polytechnic Hospital in New York.
The operation was successfully per-
formed by DR.. j. A. Bodine, but the
ex-champion will be confined to bed in
the institution for a month or longer.
The doctors, after the operation, de-
clared that he had been afflicted since
his birth, and spoke of his case as a
most remarkable one, attributing his
career under the circumstances alone
to his splendid physique; but Sullivan
appears not to have felt much incon-
venience from the trouble until recent
ly, when he felt frequent pains, and
consulted a physician to learn what
allied him.

If there were no other proof that
the foreigner has been in China for
many years, it could be shown by the
cemeteries. which are in some in
stances almost as populous as the
quarters assigned to living foreign
residents.
The reverence of the Chinese for
the graves of their relatives and an
cestors is we'll known, and it is rea-
sonable assumption that they would
respect the sentiment in the foreign
ers that moves them to dedicate in
closed and beautifed sections to the
last resting places of those who have
gone over to the great majority"
There are at least three different
