Observations

Speaking of the memorial fountain
Mr.. W. J. Abrams desires to place N
the government building yard here in
memory of Congressman Oscar Tur-
ner, ST., the Lexington Gs zette tell.
the following interesting story;
Oscar Turner vas q son of Judge
Fielding L. Turner, who was consid.
cred the greatest benefactor New Or
leans ever had. That city was the
most disorderly one in the United
States when Judge Turner was elected
police judge. The rich creole planters
from up the country used to tear the
town wide open, and the authorities
were afraid to tackle them. But Judge
Turner never WINGED, ana the first
cases brought before him were half a
dozen of these obstreperous planters.
He gave them fair trial, and sentenc
cd them to the ohsin-gsng TO work
on the streets. Their friends offered
large brides to the stern old msgis-
trate, but he was obdurate. They
then threatened his life, but did not
succeed in intimidating the judge.
All the town turned out to see
those elegant persons at their horrid
task, and they were compelled to
work out their sentence. After this
and few more cases of disorder
New Orleans became the most order
ly city on the continent.
There was great lamentation when
Judge Turner was compelled to re-
sign and leave on account Of his
health. All the respectable citizens
aud their wives turned out TO bid him
farewell, and lined the levee as he went
aboard ~ the steamboat that was to
bring him to Kentucky. He came TO
Lexington. and lived in the house now
occupied by Mr.. w.B. Emmal.

Why Sheckard jumped.

James T. Sheckard Joined the Orioles at
Savannah, Ca, yesterday afternoon, and
after greeting his new comrades he imme-
diately donned a uniform and took his first
practice with the team. This is wnat he
said in reference to his leaving the Ma
tional League:
Il feel now that am merely carrying
out the contract made with the Baltimore
club last year, which I made in good faith
and would surely have carried out had not
the Brooklyn club officials misrepresented
things to me.
II was deceived by their threats and
promises, and as soon as I saw things
clearly I did the only thing left for me to
do-try to make amends to the Baltimore
club. have always liked to play in Balti-
more and am heartily glad to get back"
The Orioles greeted Sheckard warmly and
he was heartily congratulated upon his
stand. His old National friends-KeIley.

KANSAS CITY's BIG SHOOT.
Eighty-Four Wing Shots Tie With
Straight Scores.

There were 419 entries In the Nitro Pow
der handicap, the event scheduled for the
second day Of the Grand American handi-
CAP live bird tournament at Kansas City.
Thlrty-two guns, each with straight score
of twelve birds divided the purse of 81, 100.
Nearly all of those who are entered for
the Grand American handicap faced the
traps yesterday. and each one was subject
ed to the same handicap he will have in
the big shoot, which started today. The
day was clear and cool enough to make
the birds active.
The handicap was intended to be a six
teen bird affair, but because of the large
entry list 1t was cut twelve birds and
only those who had a straight score at the
end of the eighth round were allowed to
shoot out the match.
Many of the prominent wing shots were
among the winners. w. r. Crosby, shoot
ing from the thirty-two-yard mark. made
straight score. as did w D. Bates. who
shoots with thirty-one-yard handicap. J.
A. r. Elliot and L. D. Fulford also killed
straight.
Among those who failed to make straight
scores were Fred Gilbert. Rollo Heikes. C.

Charles H. Ebbets says that he favored the
consideration of measure except the
playing schedule and the selection of UNI
pires at the meeting, and that the other
Spalding clubs stood with him. If the
question came up these clubs would stand
out for governing committee composed of
A. G. Spalding or James A, Hart, John T.
Brush or A. Soden and President Young.
On the other hand, 1t is believed Freedman
favors fight and the election Of a president.
Nick Young IL possible, E. R. Talcott if
Young Is out of the question. 1t is certain
test vote will be early heard on some
question to determine the solidity Of the
Spalding faction.
If any sign of weakness develops, Talcott
or Young will be present at the meeting.
Freedman is spelling for fight, and will
oppose Spalding in any capacity. 1t is also
stated that Dreyfus is looking for trouble
and will not consent to the slightest con-
cession. The threats that Freedman will
close the Polo grounds or that Dreyfus
will jump to the American League in case
either does not get his way. are regarded
as idle. Every one Is on the Qui vive await
ing the first issue Of the contest.

WILL GO INTO FORCE OCTOBER I
The New German Meat INSPECTION
Law,

1t has been officially announced in tbe
reIchsbiatt that the paragraph of the new
German meat inspection law, which is
claimed to discriminate directly and exclu-
sively against American prepared meats,
will go into force on October ] next. ac-
cording to a report made public at the
State Department today from United States
Consul Albert, at Brunswick. Paragraph
No u provides that no substances or pro-
cesses of any kind shall be applied to the
preparation Of meat intended for sale which
shall make 1t injurious to health The i'm
portation of such prepared meat from a
foreign country Is forbidden and no traffic
in it is permitted. The chemical substances
which are considered deleterious are:
Boracic acid and its salts; formaldehyde
alcali hydrooxie or carbonate; sulphuric
acid and Its salts; salicylic acid and its
combinations, and chloric acid salts The
provisions Of the law also apply to the
use Of coloring stuffs for meats and meat
products. However, the yellow coloring of
margarin and the colors applied to the
coverings of sausages are excepted
This provision Of the meat inspection law
was to have gone into effect in Germany

postponement is caused by lack of proper
arrangements for the entrance and inspec-
ton of foreign meats.
According to report from United States
Consul LANCER. at Solingen, also made pub

claim that the simple fact that meats pre-
pared with the chemicals named above

they do not work SLOW but sure damage.

stood, Is based on that ground.

James E. Ryan, the Outfelder, the
Latest Arrival.

James Z. Ryan, the clever outfieIder who
is to guard the right garden for the Wash
ington club the coming season. is the latest
arrival in the city, his name going down on
the Barton register last evening.
The Senators were somewhat slow get
ting to the park this morning and 1t was
IL o'clock before Carey, Coughlin, Orth and
Patten trotted on to the field each decked
out in about three sweaters. Manager Lof-
tus, Secretary Potter and Jimmy Ryan
went to the park together, reaching there
about 11:20 Manager Lotus tried to per-
suade Ryan not to put on uniform as
he gets into condition so easily that he
makes the other players look backward,
but the veteran went skirmishing in the
lockers for an old suit, and few min
utes was on the field arrayed in suit of
many colorS.
Ryan was accosted by an Evening Star
reporter just after he had gathered In a
long fly and spoke most enthusiastically
about Washington and its ball club. Said
he:
Il have always had a hankering to play
in this city and the Messrs. Wagner will
bear me out that tried to get them to buy
my release from Chicago back around '95.
I have a train load of friends in Washing
ton and many have been up to Barton's
already to give me the welcome hand
This years Senators look good to me-
but of course it doesn't do for the players
to boast too much. As an old hand in the
business the Washington public will have
some respect for my opinion and that is
the only reason why l have ventured to
express 1t. Several Of my friends have told
me that I am the only one the fans are
afraid won't make good but Mr.. Lotus
saw my work last seson and says that my
fielding and batting was never better AS
1 have wintered well and feel in tip-top
condition at the present time I don't see
why shouldn't play just as good ball this
season as ever did.
Il hope the Washington public will 'coZy'
to Manager Lotus. He Is one Of the best
in the business, and have known him for
many years. and I have been acquainted
with a few good ones He has an original
