New York, January 2O.-The ad-
1ourned meeting OF the directors OF
the United, States Leagues was held
here to-day. great portion OF tho
time being given to n discussion of
the constitution and by-laws OF the
organization. Seven cities put in a
bid for the eighth franchise. Neither
Richmond nor Reading Will be drop-
ped Both cities are IN the league to
stay. All reports to the contrary were
declared unfounded by President w.
a. Whitman. 1t is probable that Cleve-
land will be the eighth city.
Plans for a schedule, which would
not conflict with the dates of the
major league clubs In the cities to
be occupied by the now league were
discussed. 1t is reported that field
I'm New York had been secured at
Hundred and Forty-Flfth Sreet and
the Harlem RIVER. President f. c.
LandGraf, OF the Richmond club will
arrive In Richmond Sunday, and will
remain for meeting of the board of
directors of his corporation to be held
Monday. Everything was reported as
rosy In the United States League The
magnates are anxious for spring to
come and to sec the baseball players
report The finances of the organIza-
ton were reported in good shape, and
the reception given In the cities of
the circuit even more cordial than had
been anticipated.
Vice President Leroy e, Brown. of
the Baseball Corporation of Rich
nond, stated yesterday that he did
not believe the rumor, which came
from New York. that Richmond was
to be dropped In favor of Baltimore.
Secretary ]. G. Lazarous made the
same statement He remarked that he
would have been advised had my
change been contemplated. Later this
Wow was confirmed by telegram
from President Whitman. q copy OF

Neither of the men here can explain
how tho rumor started unless 1t
emanated from a source not in sym

WHEN THE TRAIN COMES IN.
In Country Towns It Is An Interest
ing Psychological Study.

A busy railroad station IS a grand
child's picture book for him who OBJ
serves it. All the child has to do is TO
look, the leaves are turned before
him There in all the colors of the
rainbow, are countless pictures to
cram himself with. And what is a
rather curious fact is that railroad
station may freely be classed among
humorous picture books. Other pic
ture books, such as church, theater,
Broadway, Fifth avenue, political
meetings, ball game. and so forth,
have, of course many funny pictures.
But, whether it is that almost all abb
surd people constantly travel, and
those with no touch Of the molly do
but seldom, or whether as here, moth
ing else goes forward seriously to oc-
cupy the attention, ones mind is left
more free to be struck by the ride
ulousness of all mankind, so II Is that
perhaps as humorous a place as one
may find is busy railroad station
And one must be very blase who no
longer feels an enjoyable stimulant
at the approach of an expected train
at the station.
The psychology of the arrival of a
railroad train at the station belongs
to the proper study of mankind. and
could be made into an interesting lit
tie monograph. As the train becomes
due one feels but half mind on the
the conversation, supposing one to be
conversing; the other half is waiting
for the train. One has. too, feeling,
faint at first, looming stronger within
one, against continuing to sit quietly
inside, (supposing one TO have gone
Within where one is. An impell-
ing to go see if the train is not com
ing numbs ones brain. A like con.
tagious restlessness breathes through
