BROOKLYNS ARE HAPPY.

Edmard Hanlon, manager of the Brooklyn National League team and principal owner of the Baltimore Eas- tern League team, has been quoted as saying that without Sunday games the Brooklyns can never hope to sue ceed financially. Persons, who have been trying to read the handwriting an the wall say that it will not be a surprise some of these days if Han lon's Baltimores succeed Hanlon's Brooklyns ill the circuit of the Ma tional Leaglfe. If the Brooklyn club encounters the same vicissitudes this year that beset its path last season Hanlon may decide to pull up stakes. r. A. Abell, who owns 40 per cent. of the Brooklyn clubs stock, declined some time ago to make good losses and has not seen Hanlon's men play since. R. H. Van- derharst, the other 40 per cent stock. holder, has been critically i'll for some time. Just who stood for the losses at Washington Park last season is not known. but it is safe to say that Hanlon and Ebbets, who hold 20 per cent. of the stock between them, drew their combined salaries of nearly $16,OO0. ...

FRED" NAGLE SOLD.

Secretary Farrell of the minor leagues of baseball clubs announces that Red" Nagle has been bought of Hartford by Springfield. The selling price is not given. Nagle was the first Hartford player to report last season and he started out we'll at third base. The boys in the bleachers got after him strong one day and the next day Nagle was missing. Accompanied by his wife he left town hurriedly. Nagle will make a good man for Springfield and the playing of him at third will give Manager O'Neill an opportunity to play Tansey fin the outfield. Daly, who played with Hartford last season and who batted 21O, will also be with Springfield. t.-. -.

No Need to Burn Them.

A South Carolina Confederate Vet
eran, Major W. H. Manning, is in ia
vor of the burning of all the Confed-
crate flags lately returned to this
state by the war department, says the
Sannavah News. We believe that the
overwhelming majority of the veter-
ans and their wives and sons and
daughters will not agree with Major
Manning. It is true that the flags
were captured and "held by the enc
N.Y." but no disgrace is attached to
their loss by their original owners.
They were defended while it was in
human power to defend them. They
are relics Of one Of the most glorious
struggles in the history of the world.
They rae old and tattered and musty;
their colors are faded of age, and
some Of them bear the discolorations
of blood. But they are unstained Of
dishonor. AS reminders Of the great
and noble sacrifices of their follow
ers, they should, and no doubt will,
be treasured as long as it is possible
to make their threads hold together

Surrender-Other Crews
May Join Mutineers..

Odessa, 1880 a. MT is report

ders to call upon the crew Of the
Kniaz Potemkin to surrender and up
on their refusal to sink the ship.
Doubt is expressed as to whether

that the crews will rather join the
mutiny Thousands of citizens here
are leaving the city, vehicles Of all de-
scriptions being pressed into service.

American is pretty good fellow and

erage American is that they should
know one another better At the

have many grave problems before us,
but 7 know we can solve them, be-

tinue this government and continue

in the days of Washington, founded
this Republic and who, in the days of
Lincoln preserved it,
After word of praise for the G. A.

troops on the streets for the purpose
of maintaining military patrol es-
tablished with martial law, added to
the burden of the helpless citizens
