He had one hand in the senate and the
other in the house. and regulated the con-
stitutior OF the patient, Nebraska. in u
most admirable manner. In his office hung
a page from The Bee wherein was printed
In large type synopsis OF the pledges Of
the republican party. When l was there
the last time they were all crossed out
except one, and that one has since been
crossed out, making a clean slate with all
harder or to better advantage than Gov
ernor Sheldon.
This is not at all to the belittlemsnt
Of the men in the ranks, the legislators
themselves in both branches. They were
the finest body Of men that ever gathered
under the roof OF the capitol Of Nebraska.
They were men upheld by their con-
stitutents and doing honor to them In turn.
Moreover they were men. who could not
be bought. Never have bills OF such great
import 10 the great corporation interests
been passed in the interests OF the common
people as during the present session. 1t
would have been worth much money to the
corporations 10 keep these things from
passing But they couldn't touch the legis-
lators. They stood as one man after they
knew they were right and the reforms were
carried to q triumphant success"

Most ball players are for that. but Chesbro is simply wonder in the devourlng line. and how he manages to digest all he puts down is a mystery to his team mates, particularly to Grif filth, who for years has suffered much with indigestion.
 Last season during the Yankees sec ond trip to St. Louis the big pitcher, on account of his quick methods of dispos- ing of his food, brought on indisposl- tion that made it necessary for him TO be confined to his bed and to require the services of a physician.
 When the doctor arrived at the hotel. Griff accompanied that eminent man up to Jacks room, and upon his inquiring what was the nature of Chesbros ill- ness Griff replied:
 "I think It's a clear case, doc, of nasty consumption
 "Ha! ha! ha!'' laughed the wise saw bones, as he looked at the herculean form and ruddy face of Chesbro; why there s no consumption about this young man."
 That's what he is suffering from all the same" said Griff. Why, doc that fellow there lying In bed ate two pounds of porterhouse steak with trimmings, in less than fifteen minutes, and if you can diagnose his trouble as anything but nasty consumption, then you surely must not know your business"

Brilliant work would retire each side in their respective turns when bases were occupied and 1t looked like no scores would result. In eleven innings the visit ors only got three hits and the locals only one more
 In the twelfth the visitors punched two hits and got a man on third and one on first, Sample batted for Billiard who pitched the best game he ever pitched here, and lined out a three-bagger SCOT ing both runners. It looked like defeat for the locals, but two hits came quickly and Harlow, batting for Chrichlo-y. made a long drive good for all four sacks and all three scored.

How Al orth Explained It.

When Dave Altizer joined the Wash : ington team at New York last spring in the first game he played in the big league he had run-in with the scrap py little Mir. Elberfield, and Davy show ed his gameness by the ready manner in which he started to mix it with New York S shortstop.
 The only thing that stopped the fist play between the two infelders was tn he quick work of Jake Stahl, who swung on to Altizer with a regular hammer lock hold.
 Some of the New York players caught the doughty Elberheld and so the two stars could do naught but express their caustic opinions of each other in san- guage that was penetrating, not to say picturesque.
 After the wordy battle and the two had forgotten the incident and were enga ged in the more innocent game of began talking to Al Orth. During the conversation the subject of the dispute between the two shortstops came up, and Harry asked Orth:
 What makes Elberfield such a pug nacious individual?"

What They Made of kIttredqe.

Malachi Kittredge. all through his base ball career, was forever trying to invest his money in some schemes or enter prlses where the returns would be large.
 Most baseball players try to get rich quick by wagering their money at the race track, but this was one of the games which never appealed much to Kit.
 He did take a flyer once in stocks when he was a member of Anson's Chicago team.
 At this time Hutchinson. the pitcher, was supposed to stand in with some prominent broker, who gave him sure thing tips, and after Kttredge had seen the pitcher come out ahead several times on the deals he determined to play the stocks himself He started in with $500, but before the day was over the sturdy little catcher was broke, and in no viable frame of mind when he showed up at the hotel that night.
 He told Anson what he had been doing and Anson asked:
 Playing the stocks, eh, Kit; what were you, a bull or a bear?"

What Sam Crawford Thouqht.

Ball players who aspire to lead the league in batting spend most of their spare time in watching their own and the average of the other swatting heroes. playing the great American game. And much comment do they make about the way the scorers mark up the averages.
 The scorers in each city, where there is a hefty boy who can hit 'em where they ain't. are always accused of padding the averages of the popular idol. Just now there Is a rumor among the American League ball players to the effect that the St. Louis scorers can see Niles, whether he makes hit or not and that they cannot see George Stone, when he does make a hit.
 Such talk as this has always been one of the erroneous, groucues fostered by ball players from time immemorial, and although there have been isolated cases where favortism haN been snown in com piling hitting averages. yet such conduct nowadays would not be tolerated even if the official scorers desired to pull off any such play But one cannot make the players believe this.
 The other morning Bill Coughlin and Sam Crawford were looking over the Diff Ing averages of the different players, and Sam said with note of suspicion in his tone as he looked at the names of the fellows who were aoove him on the list:

The Dadeville correspondent of The Age-Herald writes thes porting editor to the effect that the report received from Goodwater concerning a game played at Goodwater between Dadeville and Good water was incorrect. He states that after Goodwater had disqualified the regular Dadeville pitcher on the ground of some trifiing technicality. youngster was worked by the visitors and that the final scorc stood to 6, It seems that the umpire called the third man out In the ninth but the Goodwater players ruled contrarily. The correspondent says in this connection: After the game, their star player made a little speech some thing like this I don't care what the umpire says He is mistaken and we Will take this game in spite of him, for his eyes are crossed, and he has de- cided aCalnst us. his home team
