FIeHT AMONG FEDS
President Gilmore Says Play
ers WIN BE Pooled.


New York. Feb. 25.-James A. Gu
more, the energetic president OF the
Federal League. must hurdle q real
obstacle next Saturday at Chicago. He
has called a meeting of his followers
in the windy city on that date. at
which he proposes to arrange among
them some amicable settlement rela-
tive to q division of talent that will
best balance his field OF eight clubs-
President Gilmore has said repeat
edly, and still sticks to 1t, that the
such manner as to divide playing
strength az evenly ~ possible. Otto
knabe and Joe Tinker have both de-
clared they will not countenance such
q move. They say they have hustled
all winter for the best available talent
and that less energetic clubs should
not profit at their expense.
Ned Hanlon, the moving spirit Of
the Federal League. would not ex-
press final views upon the matter but
1ntimated that he would oppose pool
Ing In any wholesale form.
I'VE are in better shape so far as
players are concerned than some Of
our rivals" said Mr.. Hanlon. "but we
are not going to let sentiment stand
in the way Of giving Baltimore the
very best we possibly can. Perhaps
we can spare q few Of our PLAYERS to
bolster up the less fortunate clubs and
will be only too willing to do SO. But
such must be content with our sur
plus. They need expect none Of our
best men,"
The visit Of Hanlon to New York
while Gilmore was here has revived
rumors OF an invasion OF New York
city proper. or that portion Of the
Bronx just the other side Of Harlem.
Gilmore swears upon his honor that
the Federal League will do business
as at present constituted, though he
will not deny that he has more or less
worry over Buffalo. Bronx fans think
tnat before long an announcement
will be made to the effect that the
bison city team has been transferred
to their back doors

work. Belknap. however, was pinioncd
beneath the falling timbers and his
body was not recovered until the fire

neighboring buildings caught fire, but
quick action on the part Of the fire
department confined the blaze to the
glove factory.
The Hamilton firm also has facto. les

.er and to the fact that cables were diss-
appointing to the bulls. There was a
steadying influence, however, in foreign
bids close to the market. Prices opened
a shade to h@Ac lower and after a tenn
sag.
Subsequently exports turned the market
In favor OF the bulls. Closing prices were
easy. though at a net advance of a shade.
CORN-Corn hardened as a result of
cold weather and the decreased visible
supply. Opening figures which varied
from Asc on to a, shade advance were fol-
lowed by a material upturn all around
Assertions that farmers were not selling
tended to sustain the advance. The close
was nervous. A@zc to &c above last
night.
OATSEnlarged consumption Of oats
for feed gave confidence to bulls in cats.
The market therefore readily sympathized
with the corn bulge. .
OVISIONS-Provisions rose on ac-
count Of the smallness of hog receipts.
Initial sales were a shade to TIC higher
and much Of the gain continued to be
held.

A monument was recently unveiled to the memory of Henri Poincaire, the famous mathematician and physicist, who was a cousin of the president of France. The occasion recalls story or two of his remarkable absent-mind- edness.
 Almost every day Poincaire left his money lying about somewhere. Final ly his mother sewed his purse into the pocket of his coat. But one day, when he had dressed in hotel, he put on his overcoat without the coat, and left that lying on chair. Need less to say, he never saw the purse again.
 One evening he was looking in a closed bookcase for manuscript During the search he set the lamp on a shelf in the case, and in moment of abstraction closed the door of the cabinet, and sat down in darkness After he had pondered for time on the disappearance of the light, he came to the conclusion that he had suddenly become blind. That seemed to him quite possible, since his eyes were weak, anyway and he groaned at the thought of his deplorable con dition. Suddenly, to his surprise, a stream of light appeared coming from the adjoining room and he remarked with much satisfaction: My sight seems to have come back again" Not auan than did he think of the lamD in the bookcase!
