Manager Van Haltren Sees Trouble
Ahead With the Oakland Team.

PORTLAND, June 4.-The Evening
Telegram today says:
'It is a gloomy future that looms up
before the demoralized Oakland base
ball team that left Portland last night
for a weeks series with San Francisco
in their home town. The practical dis
ruption of his team is the prospect that
is worrying Manager Van Haltren.
"All but four of the men, who are
youngsters in the game, must accept
a big cut in salary, beginning this
week. BY the rules of the National
Association the players can accept or
they can demand their releases. AS
every man is dissatisfied, they may take
the alternative and trusts to getting
places in the East. A player so doing
could not play with another Coast
League team, but would not be black
listed

NEW YORK, June 4.-The warfare
against the checkers initiated at Bel
mont Park has reached the Gravesend
track. 1t appears that w. fl. Timmins
started the crusade, complaining that
he, as well as other horse owners, were
being imposed upon by the operations
OIL the clockers. Timmins had two clev-
er 2-year-olds, one of which recently
worked faster than De Mund.
Checkers in the employ of bookmak-
ers had offered a blacksmith $500 to
furnish the name of the speed wonder.
Then Timmins started his fight. He
wants it kept up at Gravesend and
threatened If the checkers were not
barred to give trouble to the Brooklyn
Jockey Club
Timmins won The checkers go.

A Trip OF the Orange.

The Orange was the fourth locomo.
tive owned by the Erie, and the first
engine ever seen in Binghamton and
Hornell, the first to cross the portage
yiaduct and the first to sound a
whistle to the Genesee valley of At
tica.
The feat that first brought her
fame was made in January, lS42,
when she was used to draw special
train from Goshen to Piedmont, car
rying Gov Stewards message to the
New York SUM- This had been
brought from. Albany to Goshen by
post riders in a race between the
Sun and the Herald, to see which
could first get the message into
print. The Herald relied wholly on
post riders. The Sun supplemented
these post riders with the service
of the railway, and so ran the first
railway news service ever run. The
Sun had typesetters on steamer al
Pied mont, and when the Orange ar
rived with the document had it put
| into type on the steamboat, and bea'
| the Herald by several hours in hav
ing the message in the hands of its
| readers The Orange had helped en-
able the Sun to have the message fo

BLUE scHoonERs HIS Hooooo.
| Skipper Even Objected to Bringing
| Blue SIop-chest Aboard.

When the weather is contrary and
ugly and a fog blanket hangs closely
over the water the old salts OF this
coast look around to see if there is
blue schooner in sight, says the Ban
gor (Me.) correspondent of the New
York World. Should vessel painted
any shade of blue be in the harbor,
then the old-timers grunt and remark
that it is no wonder that the weather
is bad The blue schooner is consid-
cred rank hoodoo and is cussed
roundly every time she puts IN an
appearance
The schooner Donna T. Briggs is re-
garded as a sure enough herald of bad
weather, for not only is she painted
blue, but she is also a three master,
and when she appeared in Portland
harbor. recently, on passage from
Bangor to New York, all hands in the
fleet already anchored there concluded
that they might as well turn in and
have a good sleep. They knew what
was to follow, and it came-easteriy
winds, cold, snow and fog. Said Capt
Baker, of the little schooner Wild
Pigeon, when he made out the color
| of the Donna T. Briggs:
There's a blue schooner. That's
| what's making of this weather, and
| you won't see no change till she gets
outer here.
"a blue schooner is hoodoo any
way, and you won't find one cap'n in
a hundred that'n paint a vessel that
| color Once in a while you will see
some blue hatch-combings or a little
blue stripping, but it amt poplar
member once that Cap'n Eben Lewis
of Boothbay harbor was going to take
| new schooner, built somewheres
down east, and when he went aboard
he found they'd painted the matches
blue.
Here he says to the managing
| owner. you turn to and paint some
other color on to them matches, o.
you'll get another man to go in thi:
vessel.
They painted them matches a goo

Hysteria Contagious, Says Doctor.


Unless one agrees with woman
who says "Hysteria is not so bad, for
madness is better than the common
placeness of mediocrity and the dull
sanity that takes no flights" DR.. A. r.
Mitchell of Lincoln, Neb., is likely to
cause trepidation. At the meeting OF
the American Association of Railway
Surgeons in Chicago he said that hys-
terra was as contagious as smallpox
and unless there was training in
calmness much damage might be
done. Physicians should mix the
spiritual with their treatment of hys-
terra" said DR.. Corwin, who started
the discussion. Everybody wants SEN
sation 1t has crept into our school
board and into the lives of women
DR.. Mitchell said hysteria was looked
upon by most persons as an outbreak
of certain overtaxed, over-emotional
women, but the educated physician
knew it was a disease that might al
feet any man or woman DR.. JanetE
statement that we are all madmer
and hysteria is only a popular phase
| of a universal mental arrangement
sounds more agreeable, since it brings

AT BATTLE OF MANASSAS.
Gen. Alexander Tells the Story of the
First Signal of War.

In September, 1859, the writer was
a second lieutenant of engineers,
u. S. A, and was on duty with the
corps of cadets at West Point as as
-sistant instructor in practical engin-
-eering.
There, one Sunday morning, I be-
came acquainted with DR.. Albert j.
Myer, assistant surgeon, q. s. A, and
learned from him of the system OF
military signals which he had devised
and which he was then under orders
to develop and bring into practical
operation.
He had been authorized also to Sc
1ect some young officer to assist him
if his experiments, and our accidental
ACQUAINTANCE resulted in his making
application for me to be relieved from
duty at West Point and assigned tc
duty with him.
This was done, and I remained or
duty with Surgeon Myer from October
3, 1859, until March, 1850. The frs
three months were spent about New
York harbor experimenting and per
fecting our apparatus by daily ant
nightly signaling between Fort Ham
ilton, on the Narrows, and Sand.
Hook and Navesink Highlands. Then
everything being satisfactory, w
went to Washington and exhibited tn
system to the military committees O
both houses, which resulted in tn
passage of a law creating sigma

Latest Kansas Events.
To Force a Depot.

If the plan of the Mercantile Club
does not miscarry, Kansas City, Kan.
will have the assurance of a railroad
depot suitable to it's size before the
Missouri Pacific Railway Company Is
granted a franchise for its proposed
Edgewater Connecting railway The
Edgeway franchise would give the
Missouri Pacific a short cut into the
center of town, and would materially
facilitate the handling of freight The
Mercantile Club asks that before the
franchise be granted, the railway
company enter into an agreement to
build a depot on the Kansas side cost
ing at least $4,000. If other roads
wish to join in the building OF
depot, each additional road must add
$50, 900 to the depot fund. There is
now a clause in the franchise prov1d
ing that the Missouri Pacific Railway
Company must build a depot on the
Kansas City side costing at least SIS,
600.

First Flower of Spring.

In the northern United States the
snowdrop is the only garden flower
that we can count on year after year
as the earliest sign of spring It's
pendulous white blossoms, with
"heart-shaped seal of green" sung by
Rossetti often appear before the last
snow has gone.
Luckily, even city families need not
be without snowdrops, for they have
been known to thrive in narrow pas
sageways between all houses. Most
dubious plants like the baking hot sun
of midsummer in order to ripen their
bulbs. but the snowdrop thrives best
in partial shade.
1t blooms earlier if it has a chance
at the March sun, but is one of the
very few that will flower regularly,
though less freely, in dense shade and

RUNNING SORES ON LIMBS.
Little Girls Obstinate Case of Eczema
Mother Says: "Cuticura Rene
dies a Household Standby"

last year, after having my little
girl treated by a very prominent
physician, for an obstinate case OF
eczema, resorted to the Cuticura
Remedies, and was so well pleased
with the almost instantaneous relief
afforded that we discarded the physi-
clans prescription and relied entirely
on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cuticura Pills. When we
commenced with the Cuticura Rene
dies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six
weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence OF
the trouble. We find that the Cuti-
cura Remedies are a valuable house
hold standby, living as we do, twelve
miles from a doctor, and where it
costs from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the mountain.

Historical Specimens.

Several boxes of archaeological
specimens have been shipped from
Lawrence to Frankfort, Germany, to
be placed in one of the great German
museums. The specimens were found
and prepared by Chas. H. Sternberg
of Lawrence, who is recognized as one
of the greatest collectors Of specimens
in the United States. Mr.. Sternbers
has spent his life as collector and
his work has added wonderfully to
the sum of human knowledge. Near
ly all of the great museums of the
world contain some of his works, only
a small part of which remains with
the State University of Kansas. The
story published a few years ago in re-
gard to the prehistoric buffalo IN
Kansas reached back probably 2O,OOO
years, but the specimens collected by
Mr. Sternberg are supposed to run
back 5,0OO,O 900 years to a time when
animal and vegetable life could hard
ly be distinguished one from the

The Khaki Uniform.

The khaki uniform has won It's
way to general favor, but the old blue
army shirt retains its place In the re-
gard of the soldiers. The war de-
partment allows it to be understood
that there will be no further attempt
to supplant the blue with the khaki
colored garment, on the ground that
the blue shirt is both more comforta-
bile and more serviceable than the
other. Besides, sometimes 1T is adj
yisable in military maneuvers to have

the old style of shirt available 1T is

May 1, 1861, 1 resigned, being then

turned east via Panama, and arrived
in Richmond on June l.
Confederate armies were being
formed at that time in West Virginia,
in the Shenandoah valley, at Manas-

Norfolk On arrival I was promoted
captain of engineers, and several APP
plications were made for me for diff

had been chairman of the military
committee of the senate when Maj.
Myer and 1 had appeared before 1t on
a number of occasions exhibiting the
military signals, so he refused all APP
plications for me, and, after making

On June 20 Gen. Mcdowell sub

for an advance upon Manassas juno
ton, to be begun on July 8, which had
been accepted. Most fortunately for
the cOnfederateS, however, the Ieoeral
army with all it's resources, was not
ready to start till July 16. Twenty
miles of marching and preliminary
skirmish used up four days more. and
only on July 81 was the battle deliv.

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there Is .

A deep well, to be sunk 1000 feet or
even deeper, is the big project that
was decided on at meeting OF rep
resentatives of lola factories. The well
will be sunk in lola, and will be drill
ed through what is known as the lola
gas pool, the original gas field in Al
len county. The purpose Of drilling
the well is to find what is under LIE
old pool There is a well develop sus-
picion that there may be gas there,
even larger quantities than is to be
found in the pool now being drawn
on, and if there is, lola and the fac
tory interest in this field want to
know it. The well will cost $4,000 to
SIS 900. depending upon the depth to
which it is sunk 1t may cost more
than that, but the amount which it Is
expected to expend is between $4,000
and $1,000 Practically every fac
| tory interest in the field has agreed
to bear a proportion of the expense o.
the we'll, and the lola city council by
an informal vote at it's last meeting
sanctioned a donation of $4,000 to the
project on the part of the city of lola
An effort will be made to have Gal
City and La Harpe donate $1,000
each to the work. These towns, o
course, are as much interested n

low any depth yet penetrated as Iol
