Baseball Magnates Are Still at Odds.
WoonsoCket Lost al Basket Ball.
Bowling Scores on Local Alleys.

Andrew Freedman yesterday, over the
iong-dlstance telephone TO Boston, asked
A. H. soden, president OF the Boston
club ths drift Of his letter in answer TO
A. C. spaldings recent circular letter TO
the National league magnates, request
ing them TO give their opinions as to how
the baseball situation could be settled
"As near as I can remember" said
Mr.. Freedman, "Mr. Sodens reply was
about like this: The baseball matter is
I'm the courts. and / am perfectly salts
cision is reached
This was the letter that Mr.. Spalding
refused TO make public until authorized
by Mr. Soden.
The suppression OF the letter caused
much speculation, and there were ru-
mors that the Boston club was about
TO join the Spaldng faction.
John T. Rogers, treasurer of the Phila-
dephia National league baseball organ
ization, today gave out a lengthy state
ment which deals principally with the re-
cent meeting of that body in New York
and is supposed TO represent the views
of the Pittsburg, Chicago, Brooklyn and
Philadelphia clubs on the present dsa-
greement over the election of a president.
He charges Messrs. Soden and Billings
OF tie Boston team with having broken
their pledges 10 support A. q. Spalding
for the presidency and says that the ex-
Cuse Of Conant of Boston that he did
not want to sec Spalding forced over
Freedman's head Is most lame and i'm
potent"
Continuing, Colonel Rogers says: ''dav-
ing resolved that the laws of the entire
league must be enforced by one thor
oughly conversant with the game, as
sport overwhelmingly a business,
and believing that no man possesses in
SO marked "a degree those qualifications
as does A. G.. Spalding. they will nail
his candidacy TO the masthead and pro-
Ceed TO the 9th. and II necessary TO the
E700th ballot TO accomplish his election"
Colonel Rogers then makes plea for
harmony, concluding as follows:
"The olive branch that was held out
at the meeting 10 the New York, Cincin-
natl and st. Louis clubs-for Boston is
with us-in still extended toward them
in all sincerity we ask them to accept
St in the spirit 1t IS rendered. and inas-
much as they have no genuine candidate,
TO come to the front and cheerfully rau-
fy the election OF a. G.. Spalding as
president OF the old National league and
give TO his administration full, loyal
and faithful support, STRENGTHENING his
powers where needed. unhampered by
boards of control OF other nonsensical
handicaps."

EAST PROVIDENCE.

There was a case OF cruelty to horse
on Taunton avenue this morning THAI
should have led to tho arrest of some
one.
The horse was attached to n lumber
reach. but was loaded with shafting and
hangers and the load was so heavy that
the animal was hardly able to haul &c
up the hill, and the road is in a horrible
condition, being covered with snow and
ice.
The driver kept the middle OF the car
track and this necessitated the running
back onto the switch at the top Of the
Hill several cars from near the bottom,
as IL was plainly evident that the faith
full animal could not pull the heavy load
ON the side OF the track
When the top OF the hill was reached
the a.-na tremblcd like leaf and
many Nmments were made by those who
witnessed the incident.
Joe Burns, of Fan River. was arrested
on the square last evening for being
drunk. and the police found quite "a sum
OF money among his effects when he
was locked up.

Demonstration Too Effective.

Two maiden sisters of mature years
had been to a temperance lecture. To
demonstrate the disastrous effect OF
alcohol upon life, the lecturer had
poured a portion Of whisky into a glass
which contained water and mass
OF lively animalculae of different un.
slightly shapes and sizes. The sesult
of the mixture was that the shoals
of ugly looking fishes were soon be-
reft of life and were seen floating
helplessly in the water.
On the way home, when nearing a
saloon one sister remarked to the
other:
Mary. will you go in and get some
whisky?"
Some whisky" astorishingly rn-
marked the other.
Yes. dear, for l really can never
again drink water with all those hor-
rible things floating about. would
rather drink them dead than alivs."

True Success In Life.

There are scores of living men who
might be mentioned who have at.
tanned to all that goes to make up
success as 1t is commonly estimated.
says the San Francisco Chronicle.
They have wealth, social and political
influence and popularity: they have
everything that heart can wish, and
yet the man of the world of the aver
age sort would not for n moment nd.
NIT that his success Is to be com.
pared with that of the man who has
lost everything yet has served his
country as patriot, has made the
foundation of the state little strong.
or. the life OF a common people lit.
tie sweeter and happier, has given to
his family and his friends an example
Of unspotted rectitude, and in doing
these things has missed personal ad-
vancement and pleasure.

WHEN SNAKES TAKE FLIGHT

Occasionally temperate man is

these is Gen. Milton Moore. The gen.
eral reads everything he can find bear
ing upon the habits and habitats OF
the snake society, and for that reas-
on he was particularly interested IN
meeting ex-Private Alexander Mahl-

returned from South America.
"Mahlstrom told me-" said Cen
Moore yesterday, that the snakes in
Central America are torpid and stupid
to a degree, though some of them are
violent enough when disturbed. They
I never knew them to bite an
overland trailer. l crossed the
plains thirty years ago, and many
times since, in the freighting busl-
ness. 1t was my experience that
the sound Of the approach OF cat
tie or buffalo sent the snakes about
their business. We lay on the ground
where snakes were thick in our ab-
sence, but scarce in our presence. A
snake must have some sense, and he
must reflect that whereas he might
put a lone man to flight, he had not
ghost of a show with herd of cattle
or buffalo tramping him. So he runs
when he hears the caravans coming. l
never knew them to bite a man while
l was going over the trail. l recollect

heard the hoof beats and started on.
A rattler cannot run straight much
better than a Swede turnip can roll
straight. He wobbles. This fellow
was terrified, for he took off. A quick
walk was as fast as he could go. dis

revolver and began firing at him. The
first shot clipped him and made him
furious. He hissed and shook his tail
with a vengeance. But he heard my

it was my fifth shot that broke his
back. The snake is a coward. d."-kASt
