Eurther "Details Tomorrow.

The "Parso1" has decided to wait
until tomorrow to tell you what he
thought of the Ladies' Minstrel, and
our local editor is given all the space
he needs today to write something to
pay for the complimentary" tickets.
Now don't get the idea that the Par
son will be as unwise as Elder C.. C.
Hill and try to roast" the m
The reason the "ParsCG" does not
consider the report OF Mr.. Evans re
liable all relates to that bunch of veg
etables he threw on the stage. He
bought them for Mrs. Evans, intend
ing to economic on flowers and help
eat the vegetables after the show.
But all the MINISTRIES were so good
that he didn't recognize his own wife
until she had been buried in flowers
by other admirers. The worst of it is
that he cannot explain, either at
home or through the paper.

WALDO.
BELFAST.

The bill introduced in the House
Dec. 2, by Congressman Burleigh fol-
the erection Of an addition or extern
sion to the postofTice and custom house
in this city was framed in accordance
with the recommendations of the sup
cruising architect of the United States.
While the custom house, which occupies
the second floor Of the building, has all
the room needed, the postoffice requires
more room and additional conveniences.
The business Of the Office has not only
greatly increased but the number Of
men employed in handling the mails
has been more than doubled by the adj
dition Of letter carriers and the estab-
fishing Of r. F. d. routes. The plans
call for an extension of IS feet at the
rear of the present building, and as the
government lot now extends 60 feet in
the rear it will not be necessary to buy
additional land. The proposed addition
will contain a room for the carriers. q
room in which to hold the civil service
examinations, much needed toilet rooms
and other conveniences. The extension
is greatly needed for facilitating the
public business, and Congressman Bur-
leigh, ever alive to the interests of his
district, may be depended upon to use
his best efforts to secure the necessary
nppropriation.--Belfa Journal.

4 BIG DEAL !


New York, Dec. 13-One of the larg-
est exchanges Of players ever recorded

que meeting here today when the New
York National League team exchanged
Frank Bowerman, catcher; Ferguson,

liam Dahlen, short stop; and John
Hannifan, substitute, for Fred Tenney,
first baseman, Thomas Needham,

Of the Boston National League team
The exchange was effected by John
McGraw, manager Of the New York
club, and JOS Kelley, the new manager
of the Boston club, who were in con-
ference for nearly an hour. Several
other deals for exchange of players
were under consideration, but none
was contaminated. Several Of the
magnates left for their homes tonight
The business transacted at the lea
que meeting included the adoption of
an amendment to the constitution pro.
viding that waivers of players once re-
quested cannot be withdrawn. The
managers agreed that the maximum
price at which a player might be pur-
chased shall be $500 instead Of $1,000
the previous limit.
The new board of directors met after
the adjournment of the league and in
creased Pres. Pulliam's salary by

tnond Lew Bailey's Broadway \. c.. Phil
adelphia. on Dec %.
The Sharkev A. c. Of. New York an
nounces that Sailor Burke and Walter
Stanton of California. will meet for six
rounds at that club Christmas day.
Maurice Sayers. the Milwaukee box
cr, is trying hard to get on a match
with any OF the boys in his class. The
contest with Kid Farmer fell through
because of the small house.
1t is rumored that there will be 9TH
er boxers who will make tho trip to
England if the money can be made so
easy. There does not seem to be much
LONG in the boxing line in this coun-
try.
When Jim Jeffries referees tile Attell-
Moran fight at Colma, Cal, on New
Years day he will get his usual fee of
1900. $500 from Jimmy Coffroth. the pro-
moter and $3.50 from each of the princi-
pals.
BARLEY Connolly of Portland. Me., will
meet Johnny Carroll of Brooklyn at Bos-
ton next Tuesday, while on Christmas
day Charley Hitte, who has engaged in
many private scraps. will fight jim DON
ovan.
New Workers. will have to take to

matching Tommy against Joe Cans or

| 1t is whispered that George Memsic is
hot on Battling Nelson's trail and that
the Bohemian will insist on the Dane
| giving him a match. If Nelson fights
Mcfarland he must also fight Memsic
and other leading aspirants before he
can readily dictate terms to Cans.
Tommy Murphy will not likely be
able to enter the ring again for at least
three weeks. The Harlem boxer had an
Operation performed on his nose. and
has been ordered to rest for a while
He will then meet Bert Reyes in a

Him Murnane's Baseball Chat.

It's 90 to l shot that Mr. Tenney will
never again put on a Boston uniform
Trade or no trade, the old first-sacker
is slated for some other city. He has
shown his teeth several times since
coming to the big meeting and has
tried ont Cincinnati, Philadelphia and
New York, and while only two clubs
have shown a desire to secure him
The consideration is rather weak.
Ed Hanlon is now in full charge of
his Baltimore team. He has sent aJck
Dunn to Chicago to mix up with the
American League magnates while he
remains nearer home with the National
League men.
John EvCrs, the Chicago second base
man. made a pronounced impression
among the ball players. He is not only
considered the finest second baseman
today in the world. but is a clever gem
eral and fun or baseball brains Com
ing from; Troy, Mike Kelley's native
city, he makes no bones Of the fact that
ho would like TO play in New York
John r. Brush. the New York mag
nate, said that he would have given
500 to have the newspaper men pre-
sent at the league meeting last Tues
day.
There is still lot of feeling against
Pres. Harry Pulliam. worked up by the
New York club, but the boy president
is in n position to put the screws to his
opponents. and they believe he is doing
ii with vengeance.
Some Of the delegates We're in favor
Of electing Pulliam for term of years
as all other baseball organizations arc
doing, but this was blocked by Brush
and Hermann.
! Manager Nal Eason of the Lawrence
club made deal with Pres. elmer Of
the Atlanta club whereby John Coveny
the Lawrence catcher, will go Soutl
next season. This will give Coveny {
chance to work in a more congenia
climate, and the chances are that h,
will make hit in the Southern League
Pres. Joiner started for Atlanta Thurs
day afternoon.

has closed a deal for First Basemai
