Tho annual meeting of the National
league is over, and what will come out
of it no one seems to know. One fac
ton claims to have elected a president
and back up their argument with good,
sonnd parliamentary ruling, while the
other side laughs and declares the cleo
ton Illegal. How it will all come out
remains a mystery to even those who
attended the meeting. One thing seems
certain. the league must do something
If it intends to continue in existence,
and 1t needs some one at its head who
can control the members so that
repetition of last weeks farce can
never see the light. The four clubs
who have fought and elected Mr..
Spalding believe they have such per-
son now to lead lem out Of the will
derness. Maybe they have, but until
the disruption among themselves
ceases the league can never hope to
again attain any place in the baseball
world. The owners of one of the clubs
seem to be fighting among themselves
and it was this that caused deadlock
in the voting. The magnates fought
among themselves like a lot of old
women at a gossiping party, each do
could against the other. 1t is no won
der the meeting ended as it did. and
1t is surprise that there is any por-
ton OF the league together at all.
Despite the legal complications exist
ing in New York, and the announce
ment by Andrew Freedman that he in
tends to remain in baseball, no matter
what it costs, James A. Hart. presi-
dent Of the Chicago National league
club, is more than satisfied with the
baseball outlook. and declares that the
National league undoubtedly will put
in profitable and prosperous season
next year. Mr.. Hart bases this belief
On his confidence that A. G. Spalding.
the new president of the National
league, will succeed in carrying out his
new policy to the very letter. Hart
also believes that Freedman will not be
in baseball-or. at least. in the Ma
tional league-neXt year.

TOYS OF VARIED DESIGN.
Paris Shops Contain Many Novelties Not
Seen Elsewhere.


Seen Elsewhere.
The worlds greatest depot for
Chsistmas toys is Paris, and in the
shops of that city are found some of
the most remarkable products of mans
ingenuity that can be seen anywhere.
Not only are these toys of interest to
the children, older people take great
delight in inspecting them
AT each yu.rtide an exposition of
toys is held in the French metropolis
Inc island opposite the tribune of JUS
tice is the place usually selected. On
one side OF the stairway leading to the
toy exposition you are confronted by
tablet telling that this place was
built by order of Napoleon Ill, en-
peror of the French" on the other by
a tablet commemoratIng his first visit
TO It in company with the empress:
over the door is the old untitled yearn-
1hgs OF the people. "Libertie, Egalitie,
F'raternitie,' and these playthings and
a number of uniformed gems d'armes
lead appropriately to the room full of
smaller toys which form the real eX-
position.
only toys costing from one to sixty
cents are admitted. But between these
values long range of wonders is die
played. One sees few toy kitchens, or
doll houses, or carpenter boxes. In
stead are toy toilet sets, with little
mirrors and powder puffs, for the en-
bryo coquette, soldier suits a-plenty
and gems d'arme uniforms. and, above
all. mechanical toys. A butcher who
being wound up, chops the meat on
the block before him into hamburger
steak, a gems d'arme who holds up his
club as II to stop a line of carriages;
an orange vender, who will walk across
the floor wheeling her handcart before
her; "bonne' with long streamered
cap on her head and a baby in her
arms; the whole population of Paris
In miniature; in short. all of whom
will act in becoming and Partisan
fashion, If you will turn the keys in
their backs.
There is clever little aquarium
made like picture Of the ocean bed,
with wrecks and seaweed on the sand.
1t is framed and hung against the
wall, but the fish in this marine paint
ing are alive and swim about in real
water.
The main interest in the exposition
is not, after all. in the toys, clever as
these are; it is in the fact that such
crowds press to see them-crowds of
'grown-ups," not of children. Hardly
one in ten of those who go is even &C
companied by child. The other nine
are simply big children, breathlessly
interested in every one of the toys
gasping with delight over the little
mechanical men, laughing at every
thing, watching open-mouthed the

place and cultivation, but all equally

ring season he became member Of A.
M. Palmer's stock company at the
Union Square theater, and continued
with Mr. Palmer at that house and at
the Madison Square theater for more
than twenty years, with the exception
of two years when Mi. Palmer was in
Europe. and then Mr.. Stoddart played
under the management of Shook and
Collier. He has a strong individuality,
and, although he finds it impossible to
sink his identity in a part, he is one of
the most impressive actors upon our
stage. From the beginning of his adult
career he has always chosen to play
old mems roles.

Some of the sanest and most bril-
liant players are devout believers in

to the unnatural and highly charged
atmosphere in which they live. or it
may be accounted for by the fact that
in our profession so many successes
and failures seem applicable only on
the theory of supernatural interfer-

night of a production may act upon

Last Monday evening Court Com

pass upon the case of Joe Dolon (or
Dollar) who was held to await the
action of the District Court. The Com
missioner had issued Habeas Corpus
papers upon the application of Dolon
who was represented by L. U. G. Titus.
County Attorney Jones did not protest
very strongly against the proceedings,
he explained that all he knew of the case
was from the Justices return to him and
that the short time he had had notice
OF these proceedings did not allow him
to look the matter up. Attorney Titus
pointed out some errors in the commit
ment and his view of the law was sus.
tanned by the Commissioner, who ordered
the prisoner discharged. Dolon left on
the Hunter the next morning for
Duluth.
