sHAcKARp,s GREAT PLAY.

Sheckard's dash, however, stands out
as the greatest of the season on the
local grounds. With two out and a
run needed to tie, it required just such
an unexpected squirt as that made by
the speedy left fielder TO win the day.
With the crack of the ball, as Dolan
smashed single over Dement'S head,
he was off like pistol shot. There
were murmurs of surprise, mingled
with alarm, when Sheckard turned
second and kept on TO third as Hamil-
ton stopped TO take the ball. The
murmurs were changed to shouts OF
Joy as the ball eluded Hamilton and
was fumbled by Slagle. Past third
shot the reckless Splinter, cutting the
base,-it was claimed, by several feet,
although the umpire failed to see It.
The ball was relayed to the plate in
fast time, faster 1t seemed than the
crowd wished 1t, but Sheckard was
alert, and. as Moran received the
sphere, he hurled himself at the white
washed slab an instant before the
catcher's hands came down. At least
so Emslie decided, although Sheckard
did not touch the plate. Moran gave
no notice of this, however, and while
he stopped to argue with the umpire
over the decision, Sheckard walked
back and performed the necessary duty.
This made the run doubly certain, and
the crowd, which had awaited the UNI
pire's decision with bated breath, went
beside itself with delight,-Brooklyn

Fred Pieffer, Chicago's old second
baseman, is still in the game. He is
manager of the White Sox of Chicago
and has on his team George Tread
way, formerly of Baltimore; DR.. Har-
ley Parker and George Long. brother
OF the Boston National league captain.
AS a base-running aggregation prob
ably worse lot never were in one
bunch than makes up the present New
York team. 1t is not because the men
are especially slow, for, with the ex-
ception of CAMEL, Hickman, Bower
man, Warner and Mathewson, they can
cover ground fast enough, but because
they have neither the Judgment nor
the ability to start properly.

FILIPINos AS FIRFMEN.
Five Hundred to he Enlisted in the
Naval Service.

Orders were telegraphed Saturday by
Secretary Long to Rear Admiral Remey
at Manila to enlist 500 Filipino natives in
the naval service Of the United States.
These men are to be employed as firemen
on vessels of the fleet in the Philippines.
Experience has shown that white fire
men on ships on the Asiatic Station soon
succumb to tn eXertion Of working in
the engine rooms on account of the added
enervation of tropical heat and Admiral
Remey asked for authority to employ
Filipinos 4 limited number of natives
have been working in the engine rooms
of the smaller gunboats captured or pur-
chased by the Government from Spain.
but these were not regularly enlisted
Their service has been satisfactory.
1t has been necessary to send most of
the white firemen to Japan for recupera-
tion. The expense of doing this will be
saved by the employment of the Filipinos
who rapidly recover in their own climate
from the effects of overexertion in the
engine rooms.

ART GALLERY FOR THE BLIND
Disposition of the Busts Mt the Con
gressionnI Library.

There is large collection of busts and
relief portraits of authors, poets, musi-
clans, statesmen, and other distinguished
persons in the copyright division OF the
Library of Congress, accumulated dur
| ing many years. Until recently they were
not so placed that they could be enjoyed
by anyone, but in going over the work
ing divisions of the Library, Mr.. Put
nam. the Librarian. came upon the col
lection and conceis ed practical plan for
its disposition.
A shelf within easy reach will be put
about the walls of the rooms in the Lii
rary devoted to the blind, and upon these
will be placed the portraits. They can
thea be readily handled by the sightless
and through the tips of their fingers they
will come TO know the features and char
acteristics of the people already known
to them in literature.
To Ellen Terry is due the suggestion
which has been carried out by MIR. Put
nam During her last visit to Washing
ton she met number of those who fire.
quent the reading rooms for the blind
at the Congressional Library and sent
them tickets to one of her matinees. Al
ter the performance she invited them up
on the stage and allowed them to hold
fingers over her face, that they might
see her" This so touched her heart that
she had a portrait of herself made in re-
lief and sent to the reading room for
them.
At the time of the death OF ex-Presi-
dent Harrison the blind were much inter-
ested in him and his history. and We're
given some interesting talks by different
people A bust of the general that had
been sent to the copyright division dur
ing the Worlds Fair by a well-known
Japarese artist was sent to the reading
room and the blind people exclaimed in
breath, How like the japanese our
President was" Sure enough the little
Jap had elevated eyebrows and other
wise given to the really good portrait of
the ex-President a decidedly japanese
cast of countenance
When told this incident Mr.. Putnam
at once decided to place these bust por-
traits in the reading room for the blind
il is no longer the custom to send either
bust or relief Of the subject for copy
right. but instead a photograph, so the
collection will not grow

THE CONVENTION.

The constitutional convention In

consideration of the majority report on
the Bill of Rights, and passed it section
by section as it came from the commit.
tee until disposed of, except four Sec
lions, upon which members gave notice
they desired to speak.
This is regarded as formal, and it is
believed the report, as q whole, will be
adopted.
A large number OF amend On en.s were
prop o,ed, and these led TO short
speeches by such leaders as Senator
Daniel, Col. Petit and others, but no
material changes were made. This
part OF the constitution will be disposed
of without delay-perbsps today-but
under the resolution adopted on Thurs
day the preamble will not be further
considered until the constitution has
been formulated. IL is 10 this hat the

sorbing question comes up again there
will hardly be as much discussion as
there has been 10 the past ten days.

regard to the colloquy between him
and Mr.. Glass the day before. He
stood over the petite member 10 trout
of his desk shaking bis finger 10 the
