Told by Gilmore of Federals.

PHILADELPHIA. April 17.-"It isn't
So" declared Manager McGraw of the
Giants when asked If the reports We're
true that three of his players had told
President Gilmore of the Federal League
while the latter was in Baltimore that
they would jump to the Federals if he
made them a satisfactory offer.

would-be jumpers was shown to Nc

was more loquaciouS. He said
Every member Of the New York club
has signed a two or three-year contract
and few of the contracts expire this
year. l have talked with nearly all Of
the players and do not think there is
anything to the rumor. l don't believe
there is a player on the New York club
who would break his contract, and. fur
ther, l do not think there is a member Of
the club who wants to. No one has a
complaint on his salary that l know OF.
and besides the salary the players can
always count on from $1.5OO to 5000
extra on each season through a worlds

Murray suggested sending a wire to
Gilmore accepting any terms he might
offer for the services of the team as a

Here's Their Opportunity.

On Tuesday in the Hous of Repres-
entatives the bill to reduce the pay of
the members of the Legislature from
$40 to S. per day was tabled by a vote
of 81 to 16. which rings it's death knell.
AS to the justice of this action, we do not
pretend to say, but We do say that the
sixteen members who voted against tab
ling the measure now have anexcellent
opportunity of immortalizing themselves
in the ewes of their constituency and
the world at large. If they are of the
opinion that the pay is in excess of the
value of their services, do not need the
money, or have conscientious scruples
about accepting it, let them donate the
amount in excess of the amount they
would have fixed as their pay to the
various charitable institutions of the
state. This course would not only ease
their Conscience, but would prove of
great benefit to the institutions who
would profit by their generosity. who
would arise and call them blessad, and
would strew their graves with flowers
when they have passed to their great
reward

Sixty Acre Crop Of Hemp Being Delivered
To Local Dealers.

comments in regard to the dwlndling of
the hemp industry in Kentucky would
doubt the correctness of their differences
could they see the big crop being deliv-
cred in Lancaster at present. Mr..
James B. House, a veteran hemp
grower and very successful one, is
just finishing the delivery of crop of
sixty acres, which he sold to Messrs
Hudson & Hughes, the local dealers,
receiving therefor $3.50 per hundred.
The crop is turning out about9OO pounds
to the acre, and was raised on a part
of the old Beazlev Bros. farm on the
Lexington pike. Mr.. House has al
ready contracted for sixty four acres
OF ground to go in hemp this year, and
will probably cultivate more tnan that.

Mr.. A. A. Surber, rs years of age, a

interestingly of his experience in Gar

and waded in fried ham and red gravy
with big pulled up biscuit to my elbows

Well retired early and had sweet
dreams of the fried ham and the red
gravy that was mine for the next three
months.
The LIST Monday in July with God
speed in my effort to teach young
ideas how to shoot when l arrived at
the log school house situated on nice,
beautiful grass plot with plenty of
shade for comfort. By nine o'clock /

There were three pecularities about
this school that challenge the peda-

out of the 80 were brothers and sisters

and heard no more from them for
about % years, the boy became a pros
porous young farmer, the girl married
a sober. steady young man and was
queen over her little household of three
children, so the school was kept on till
the evening after the battle at Rich
mond. KY. Three gallant Knights of
the Confederate army rode up to the
door, dismounted, and stood looking
around, they offered three cheers for
the nest of redheaded Peckerwoods
and turning to me said: ''you will have
to watch these very carefully or you
will find some of them burrowing into
some of the sugar trees" turning to me
again and thinking that was of mill
tary age they ordered me to raise my
hand and they administered the oath of
allegiance to the Southern Confederacy
I did so and was glad to get off SO
easy. OH the fried ham and red gravy
! will never forget it.
