Things Jagged in Nationals.

II may or may not have been alto
gether Ran Johnson's attitude that has
clogged the wheels OF progress in Ma
tional League circles. Be that as 1t may,
the American League has already done
three times the business in less than half
the time the National League has been
taking off its coat While the American
League is not supposed to go into ses-
sion until this afternoon. the board of
directors got busy and disposed of the
most serious and disagTeeable task that
confronted the circuit in Jig time late
yesterday afternoon.
This consisted of an exoneration of the
New York American League club from
all charges of operating a sign-tipping
bureau at the Hilltop. The exoneration
was proposed by Frank ]. Navin, presi-
dent of the Detroit club, which team was
supposed to have had whatever evidence
there was in the matter. Mr.. Navin
grounds furnished him for such charge.
In view of the fact that previously no
rule existed making such a practice a
n1isdemeanor, 1t was resolved that, should
any club official be found guilty of sign
tipping in future, he should be barred for
all time from the American League.
The board of directors of the National
League convened late yesterday after
noon at the Office of President Heydler
In the st. James building. Horace Fogel,
the new president or the Pnilddeipnla
club, who claims to control the majority
OF the stock in the corporation made APP
plication for membership to the league.
His case will be voted upon today, and
there is little doubt that he will be quail
fed to the rank of thirty-third degree
magnate. The New York club asked that
the fine of s., 900 be inflicted on the Phil
adelphia team for FORGETTING a game at
the Polo Grounds toward the close of the
season. The various reports and general
routine were laid on the table until to-

 However, he was pushed into work and was for some time conductor of d Spanish railroad. Through reading of bad books he seems to have lost his faith and also joined Masonry.

A JUICY MoRsEL.

There stands on Prospect ave rv, next above the Tombler Flats and in view of Central avenue, an architec- tural gem of cut stone and pressed brick known as the Knickerbocker Hotel, small palace for the enter tainment of the most exclusive class of visitors. It was built by the archi- tect who planned the Park Hotel and many of our finest houses and bust ness blocks. and its actual cost does uot include his personal services for two years nor the many savings on
 materials of construction that he secured at contractors discount rates. The place was intended for catering to wealthy peopleIof taste and has

The dining room, offices and parlors are finished in hardwood and the ceiling of the dining room has the heavy beams and decorations of the Rathskeller style but more showy and brighter. Bevel plate mirrors are placed on all walls continuously around the dining room and above these the heavily nodded plate rail is designed to carry fancy platters, decorative steins. mugs, vases, etc. Tn kitchen and pantries have brick walls and concrete floors , and metal ceilings, therefore are fire. proof. Basement extends under entire house, with refrigerator and heating plants. Bedrooms all have porcelain layatories with hot and cold water, call bells, electric lights, etc, and bath rooms are convenient This choice building was completed just before the panic for tenant whose prospects were bright but who met
 numerous jolts and was prevented from taking possession. The owner had no money with which to buy fur niture except on credit as he had al ready borrowed nearly half the money the property could stand for, and was swamped when the panic arrived. The place is now running success

 but this hotel should be controlled by some well known caterer of widely known reputation, when it would be the ideal home for wealthy visitors who want quiet rest and luxurious comfort. The place having been taken at the foreclosure sale by the loan agent for a wealthy planter, it can only be bought at reduced price, far below it's value. by purchas- ing the equity of the former owner before his period of redemption ex- pires. which will be December 22, or in 30 days from date of this notice.
 The property was appraised by our three leading builders. including Mayor todd. at 26.000.o0. this ap. praisement having been made last winter in the hardest of hard times.

churches and convents were reduced to ashes and f30 persons were killed. The people demanded punishment of the scoundrels. A secret power ap- peared to protect him. First it was tried to deceive the authorities by saying Ferrer had left the country. As this did not succeed he was de- clared innocent and was held up as model educator, Now Macmillan liar den tells Us that the whole trouble started in Paris. France is angry at Spain on account of Africa. France is preparing for another reyolutbon-for that reason the well versed Minister Briant formerly an extreme social ist) has admonished all good French men, clericals and atheists, to be re- conciled and united, and but lately the defender of Ferrer and all of the enemies of the army, sang in every key the praises of the French army. Such man speaks thus only before war. For the same reason the ruling powers do not hesitate to open safety valve for the government boiler to let the dangerous steam escape and the news about Ferrer had to serve as such safety valve.
 For the rest the last will of Ferrer signalizes him clear enough. He ex- cludes his lawful wife and his daugn- ters from any share and leaves every thing to his "inamorata

women in the postal service a new

master was appointed to look after

the principal Office in the postal serv-
ice of Europe was held by a woman,

of the German empire, the Neither

was known as a master general of the

CUnCURA CURED HIM.
Eczema Came on Legs and Ankiee-
Could Not Wear Shoes Because
OF Bad Sealing and Itching.

II have been successfully cured Of
dry eczema. I was inspecting the re-
moval Of noxioue weeds from the edge
of q river and was constantly in the
dust from the weeds. At night I
cleansed my limbs but felt a prickly
sensation. I paid no attention to it
sor two years but I noticed a scum
IN my legs like fish scales. I did not
attend to it until it came to be too
itchy and sore and began getting two
running sores. My ankles were all
sore and scabby and I could not wear
shoes. I had to use carpet and felt
slippers for weeks. I got q cake Of
the Cuticura Soap and some Cuticura
Ointment. In less than ten days I
could put on my boots and in less than
three weeks l was free from the con-
founded itching. Capt. George p. Bliss,

Family All Present at the
End.

New York, N. Y.-Edward H. Har-
rinan died at his home in Arden, N.
Y.
Mr.. Harriman's death had been ex-
pected for several days. On last Sun
day he suffered a serious relapse due
to an tack of acute indigestion and
he vas unable to rally from the critic
al condition which then threatened his
life. With him at the time Of death
were all the members of his imme-
diate family and DR.. Lyle.
Mr.. Hartman died at his home on
Tower Island, near Arden, Orange
county. N. Y.
Nature Of illness Unknown.
Mr.. Hartman has been Ill for sew
eral months. The exact nature Of hi,
illness has been carefully withheld
from the public, but it Is the consen
sus of opinion that he suffered from
cancer OF chronic indigestion.
Several months ago he went abroad
to consult prominent European spe-
cialists. and then took the cure at
Badgastien. This did him little, if
any good, and he rushed home, arriv-
ing here OF Aug. 81. much before the
time he had set for his return.
He walked from the steamer to a
waiting tug, and later to q special
train, which took him to his mountain
home.
Secrecy at Arden.
Every newspaper man who saw him
declared the walk was a superhuman
effort to cause people to believe he
was not a dying man, thus making an
effort for the purpose of bolstering up
stocks.
From the day he was taken to Ar.
den it was thought he was a dying
nan. There have been frequent con-
ferences of noted surgeons and physi-
clans at the Hartman home. Their
comings and goings have been hidden
in deep secrecy. Finally a bulletin
was issued in which it was admitted
that Mr.. Hartman was a very sick
man, and said that the physicians,
while declaring an operation would
be necessary, had nevertheless deter.
mined to postpone it until Hartman

When he returned to the house he
was in a state of coma and had to be
carried to his bed, from which he
never arose..
Sunday and Monday there were
scenes of great activity about the Har-
riman home and it was evident that
the great financier was dying. All the
while the Hartman physicians were
optimistic. AS late as 9 o'clock in the
morning. DR.. Lyle, Mr.. Harriman's
private physician, issued a bulletin in
which he said Mr.. Harriman's condi-
ton was unchanged.
