OLD BALL PLAYER DEAD
Mike UreH. George Wright's Team mate at Washington Back in the Sixties, Passed Away in
 Ireland.

In the death of Col M Emmett Ure1, which occurred in Ireland two weeks ago, a famous baseball player of the sixties, passed away. He was one of the leaders of the game in the old historic White Lot, Washington, D. O., when the Nationals of that city were regarded as one of the strongest teams in the country.
 UreIl played second base on the old Union team of 1867 acting as Cap tain, which was looked upon at that time a post of great honor. After playing with the Unions several sea sons he joined the Nationals, and be- came one of the leading spirits of the club. He was a member of the Olym- pics of Washington, of which Nick Young was at the head.
 In those days Mike Urel1, with his flowing whiskers, facing Col. Jones, the pitcher of the Nationals, who also wore a full beard, presented a picture that. attracted attention. It was no uncommon thing, however, in the old days to see bearded men play ball, while the unpires usually appeared with beavers on their heads.
 UreIl continued his interest in the game throughout his entire life, and always argued that the game was just as good and strong in the old days, when. first bounce was out" as it is at present. He was a sure catch, and as a batsman ranked high, be- ing headed only by George Wright and George Fox, the shortstop and third baseman of the Nationals, re- SDecfiVely-

THOMAS SECURES DISAPPOINTMENT
 OF ARSON CASE

Edwin s. Thomas, secretary of the Democratic State Central committee and counsel for Ameen Sliby, a mer- chant charged with conspiracy to com- init arson, heaved a sigh of relief when Judge Gager of the Superior court ac- ceded to his earnest request for the continuance of the sensational arson case until the next term of the Su- perior court.
 Thomas is one of the busiest men in the State just at present, devoting all the time he can muster to the inter ests of the ticket. The case of Sliby promises to be a long one, and Thomas feared the trial would occupy much valuable time.
 Sliby is alleged to have consoired with Nicholas Smith, now a fugitive, and James Haddad, now in jail to burn the store of Smith at 2032 Main street.
 Haddad is now a witness for the State. Inasmuch as he is charged with conspiracy to commit arson on four points, and with assault with in tent to kill, States Attorney Judson said he believed it wouldn't make much difference whether the case was tried this term or next so far as working injustice upon Haddad is concerned.
 Judge Gager allowed both cases to go over to the next term. Haddad has no prospect of securing the desired bail. but Sliby is at liberty under bail of $5, 900.

v
 Chicago, Sept. 20.-HaI Chase, first basenan of the New York Highland CTS, is plotting to oust Manager George StaJings. Dissensions and open guar rels have split the team into factions and last night the trouble took on a decidedly serious aspect when the team rode home from Comiskey Park and the men nearly came to blows over the defeat of the Yankees.
 Chase refuses to talk about the ac- cusations made against him. Stall leave at once for his home The up- heaval may come today and Chase may be the head of the team before it leaves Chicago.

He also started into raising chick ems and his manager reported to him last week that he will have at least 2,500 chickens to market this fall, which is a very good showing for the first season.
 When he gets started on crops, cows, and chickens and the prospects it is hard to shut him off the sub- ject. His manager sends him a week ly report of conditions, and in this way the comedian keeps in touch with affairs on the farm while he is travelling with his company.
 MT. Hitchcock does not expect to make money the first year, but he expects that his profits in. two years will repay him for all his outlay, and give him a handsome margin besides
 Broadway and it's alluring lights have lost all charm for him now. It is the farm that attracts him. MT. Hitchcock is not the only actor farm CT for there are many other promi- nent stars who are practical farm CTS, and spend their time raising crops when not in the glare of tha foOtIightS.

THEATRE

William Craick and his father-in-
law, Jacob Schloer, have purchased the
interest in the Bijou theater which was
owned by his partner, Hugo Freels.
This eliminates Freels as a partner in
the business and makes Cracks own
ershij in the Bijou theater complete.
This ends the difficulties that. the
partners in this business have had in
the past year. 1t is understood that
Freels made the proposition to Craick
to either sell or buy at a certain fig
ure, and Craick bought.
During the last year of the partner
ship 1t was far from being pleasant
and Freels saw that the only thing to
do was to sell out his share in the the
ater or buy Cracks share
The deal was consummated yester-
day, and the money was paid over
Freels has not yet decided what he will
do, but it is possible that he will build
a new theater here this summer.
