JUST BEFORE THE WEDDING. yuId she reckoned would not object tc giving a newly-married couple din ner for send-off. It was not far from the dinner hour, and I extended tho invitation. The groom, however, failed to come, and we sat down to the feast without him. The woman did not ap pear much concerned over the disap. pointment.
 ''Later in the day a man halted his wagon in front of my place and asked the road to certain town. He was ar immigrant, and said he was on his way to the far west He asked if he could get something to eat, as was common with travellers in those days. and ] told him we had the remnants of feast which had been cooked for wedding but as the groom didn't come we had plenty left.
 He asked me if the disappointed woman took it much to heart, and when 1 said she didn't act as if she were going into decline. he replied that she must have good deal of sand, as he expressed it, and said he would like to see her.
 'She consented. and met him while he was eating the remnants of the feast. I had occasion to leave the room for a few minutes, and when re, turned they were standing together hand in hand.
 Rather than disappoint lady said the traveller, I shall take her my. self. Go ahead with the necessaries'

'tMoney Back If You Want It.''

Rochester, N. Y, Jan 29-The fol- lowing named are among the players who have signed contracts with the Rochester base ball club for the com ing season: William Lush of New Haven; Joseph Bean of Cambridge port, Mass; Frank Bonner of Worces- ter; Charles Morse of Auburn, Me, and William Clancy of Marlborough, Mass.
 The Waterbury Democrat says that Hugh Duffy, who is to manage the Milwaukee club in the American league, has made an offer to Joe Connor, and that Joe is likely to ac- cept 1t. Joe had better make inquir- ies about the backing of the club be- fore he ventures far from home on what may be a losing speculation. There is not much money in sight in this American league yet, and some of the players may have to hunt for pay before the season Is far along Bridgeport Post
 Boston, Jan 29.-Manager Selee has been busily engaged in negotiating for an outf1elder for the Boston club, and admits that his efforts have been crowned with success. While he de- clines to state his man until the play CTS organization has met, 1t is under stood that the player Is Sheckard, of
 
 cut down both his men and expenses at the same time. Kelly, Keeler. Jones and Sheckard will make an expensive quartet to carry next season, and Sheckard is the only one that the Bos ton people care anything about, or would pay any considerable amount to secure. Sheckard will receive the limit. It is known positively that Selee has been after this player.
 The Detroit base ball club will gather In over $5.OOO for players dis posed of to the National league, or it's equivalent in trade, if peace reigns in been sold in Cincinnati for S2OOO, FL berf1eld to Brooklyn for S1 200. Sievers to the same club for $1,O0O and Miller to Chicago for $1.OOO These deals were all made at the close of the play ing season and have not been an- nouneed because of the unsettled con- ditions. Elberfeld and Sievers are taken by Hanlon on approval, and if they fail to make good by May l they come back to the Detroit club, which will use Sievers and probably turn Elberfield over to the Baltimore team.
 Chicago baseball cranks say that James A. Hart was too liberal when he gave up Pitcher Garvin, Fist Base id1h IatHZeA auu 1nlTu baSen1Q Strang to the New York club for Jack Doyle. They contend that Doyles record as q disorganizer did not war rant such lfberality. Doyle will cap tain the Chicago team, and is expect ed to supply the ginger that was lack ing in the behavior of the players last season. But he is not considered a better first baseInan than Ganzel, even though the latter is an admittedly slow runner Strang is thought to be coming man. Veterans who have seen him play say that he should have been retained by Chicago to play shortstop. Garvin pitched winning ball last season. but his habits were against him. Only the other day he was arrested at Chicago charged with assault. The complaint alleged in court that Garvin. after knocking him down, placed beer glass on his face, md then jumped on it.. The New York club, therefore. was hoodwinked by the Chicago management into talk ing . rowdy away from the Windy City.

 Manager Parsons has in his mind a tourney in Boston at the close of the season between the leading teams of the Southeastern and Maine leagues.
 Lewiston beat Gardiner Saturday to 4. 'The attendance was not up to the standard,r says the dispatch from Lewiston, and then 1t is stated as 1000! Guess they're not padding things up there any!-Brockton Enter prise.
 Billy Parsons says Salem will have the best team it ever had. 1tis safe to predict that if the club is under Par sonss guardianship, as seems likely 1t will have the biggest crowds it has had for seasons. The name of Parsons is one to conjure with.
 There have been changes in all of the leagues. In the National, Aufort opened in Springfield, thence went to Meriden and New Britain. No other changes were made. Salem has opened four times in the Southeastern, Taun ton and Pawtucket each twice. Now Fall River Is to be tried. In Maine Bangor was admitted and Gardiner and Rockland dropped out.-Boston Herald.
