Team Arrives.

The team arrived this morning, to-
gether with the Joliet team, and the
two aggregations are playing this af-
ternoon at the Twelfth street park
Manager Donnelly states that either
Clark or Cadwallader will be on the
firing line tomorrow Tomorrow's
game will be called at 8 O'Clock.
The team did not bring back very
formidable roll from Joliet. The
weather up that way has been poor,
yesterday being the first real good
day they have had for baseball. The
distance of the park from the city
prevents the attendance on weekday

The railroad managers must fear
strike of their employees, for they have
made bargain with Postmaster Gen
eral Payne to have the United States
mail carried on all trains, passenger
and freight The press report of the
arrangement states that this will pre-
vent any strike of railroad employees
being successful, as it will give the
president power to order United States
troops to the scene of the trouble and
prevent the strikers from interfering
with the operation of the railroads.
There ia one thing that may prevent
the carrying out Of this programme, as
congress must make the necessary ap-
propriations to pay the baggagemen
and others for the extra work. Unless
it can be shown that the public win &C.
cure an increased service that is neces-
sary there should be concerted oppos:-
ton against such conspiracy. Con-
sidering the risk they run and the hard
work they do, railroad men are the
worst paid Of any Of the expert work
ingmen in the country, and for the
United States government to use its
power by combining with the railroads,
to coerce them in case the men should
feel that a strike was the only means
Of getting fair treatment or pay, =
hardly fair play and should not b pa.

THE PASSING OF sARD1NE.

u.
Sardine, an ancient and patient team
horse Of Albert Miles string OF prize win.
ners, is dead. sardine died n natural
death after many years Of usefulness,
and was given decent burial, or, rather,
an incarceration, Tuesday night.
Albert Miles is the colored tcamstcr
who won the distinction Of cremating
the first dead horse in the new city Gre.
matory at Point Comfort Albert had
a mare by the name of LILY. When the
new ercmatory was finished, Albert was
anxious to see how the thing worked, so
he called Lilly up to him one day and
slew her on the spot The poor mare
was then nearly ready for the boneyard
and Albert had been expecting her death
almost at any moment. sg iil
Lilly was dragged to the cFematory,
cut quartered and thrown into the FIRE.
Either the crematory hadn't been put
into proper working order or else Lilly
was pretty tough piece Of horse flesh,
for she didn't burn up for a week dftdf
she was thrown into the fire.
50 when sardine passed to the Great
Beyond, Albert hurried him off to the
crematory. The horse was thrown into
the blaze Tuesday evening, and Wednes.
day morning Albert went around to see
how the incarceration was progressing.
He saw only the ashes of his faithful
Sardine.
All that was mortal of poor old sar-
dine had been entirely consumed by the
fire in the crematory during the night.
Albert emph@tically claims that the new
erematory is all right and in good work.
