THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C., = SATURDAY, JUNE 12, 1886—DOUBLE SHEET ANOTHER CLOSE BALL GAME. But the Nationals Were Defeated Again. AN ACCOUNT OF THEIK EXCELLENT GAME WITH THE PHILADELPHIAS YESTERDAY—OTHER GAMES, The Nationals played another excellent game Of bali in Philadelphia yesterday, but were de- | feated by a score of 4 to 3 in ten innings. They played a fine fielding game, but were surpassed | tm base running. The Philadelphia Press says Of the game: “The visitors made seven hits and all but two Shaw pitched a fine game for Bis team, and had it not been for some very elever base-running on the part of Andrews and Mulvey there {s no telling what the result Would have been. The short stop work of Irwin batting of Fogarty were spec- ch of a foul fly after a hard run in the fifth was a brilliant | hearty | @vation from the audience for bis pains. In the tenth inning Irwin stole a base bit irom ‘were scattered. ‘and Force and th Jal features of the game. Parrac's¢ Biece of work, and that layer receive: Start, who hit what looked good for a base, but im jumped into the air and pulled it down with his right hand. Of the nine chances accepted by Force, four were difficult stops. ‘The Washingtons were first at bat. Hines led Off with a single, reached secona on Fogarty’s wild throw of ‘Carroll's hit, and came In on Start’s sacrifice to Irwin. In'the second, Force Feached first un Bastian’s tumble, second on Giadmon’s hit and home on Hines” hard rap into left. In the eighth, with the score 3 to 2 An favor of their opponents, Start tied the score ‘on Mulvey’s past grounder and Knowles’ three- Duxger Into rignt-center. Grews started the ball rolling for, two bases, mole third and scored on Fogarty’s sacrifice. Hits by Wood, Cusick and Fogarty and Mul- vey's long fly ‘Into center gave the local men their second run. In the sixth Fogarty’s hit, Bis steal of second and third and Farrar’s sac Fitice gave the Phillies the lead by a score of 3 to 2. In the tenth, after one man was out, Mul- ‘Wey reached first on a sacrifice hit, which put Andrews out at the plate. He staried to steal second and crossed the plate on Gilligan's wild throw to Knowles and Hines’ fumbie. ‘The Times says: “There were two distinctive features of the game,the wondertul base running of Andrews, Fogarty, and Mulvey and the abort-stop play ot Irwin and Force.” Hines received two hits, Baker two, Carroll one, Gladmon one, and Knowles a three bagger. It would be very pleasing to the admirers of the Nationals if the nine could increase one side of their record column as ‘ast as they do the other, but so long as they continue to play ball as they dono one has a right to complain. They cer tainly are fine fielders, but only a few of them are good base runners, while they have but little luck in bunching thetr hits. It is diticult for an outsider to sce in what way to strengthen the nine. Every one who sees a game here bis more confidence when they see Phil Baker on first base. Crane is a magnifieent thrower, and occasionally hits the ball successtully. He is also a pretty sure catch, particularly In running in on a fly, but he shows poor, judgment of long hits, and doesn’t play with that suap that exe cites admiration. The Nacionals are much in need of another catcher. Gilligan has done splendidly, and if it had not been for him’ the won side of the Na- Uonals’ record would probably be 0. Should he be disabled, what chance would the Nation- als have now?’ It is true the management has been on the lookout for a good man, but while they are looking for him some other ciub gets him. This may be because the other club vio- lates the rules in approaching the piay gets him. The disbanaing of the Providence ¢lub bas given an opportunity which it is hoped will not be neglected. ‘The Nationals offered a round sum for Cook,of the Louisvilles, but three of the American clubs objected and prevented our getting bim. If they can get as good a man the team will be greatly strength- ened. OTHER GAMES YESTERDAY. At Chicago—Kansas City, 5; Chicago, 7. At Boston—Boston, 10; New ork, 1.

THE WASHINGTON SCHUETZEN-VEREIN AND ITS HISTORY—THE GROUNDS ON 7TH STREET —PROGEAM OF NEXT WEEK'S FESTIVAL, The annual German festival of the Schuetzen- Fest, or the shooter’s festival, is a great event in German social life and it is associated in the minds of the ofd and young with some of the pleasantest recollections of life in the Father- land, especially when in after years the Ger- man finds himself separatea by a long distance from the scenes of his childhood and early youth. He remembers the gathering of the old and young from all parts of the country, the social Interebange, the friendly contests of strength and skill, and the relief trom daily cares, which was secured by this holiday, in the fields, It was not a holiday for the men or the women or the children, but all joined to- gether in contributing to the general en- joyment, It is not surprising. that the Germans Who have leit their native country to make thelr home in @ foreign land should endeavor to revive a custom which Is associated with so much that Is bright and happy in their former life. The Germans of this city have for the past twenty-two years held an annual celebration which was intended to be similar to the old country festivals, and, as far as this could be done amidst the Aime! can surroundings and with no peasantry in their picturesque costumes, the reproductions have been exact and faithful. Whatever degree of attractiveness may be lacking in these re- spects is amply made up by the lacilities which are afforded by an ample park within easy dis- tance of the city. Some years ago a stock com- pany, chartered by Congress anc composed of the leading German citizens as well as many citizens of American birth, purchased twelve acres of ground on the 7th’ street road, which became the scene of these annual festivals, THE SCHUETZEN PARK, as it is now called, has been laid out in lawns with serpentine walks winding amid the trees and grass. Refreshment booths, music stand and a dancing pavilion have been erected at venient points about the grounds, while near the main entrance isa large and” hand- some brick structure, which is used by the as- sociation asa banquet hall anda place of re- ception. There are also bowling ulleys and shooting galleries, and all the tacilities for in- nocent sport, even to a greased pole, which the best conducted fest in the old country could ever boast. As may be readily understood these annual festivals have in’ the past been Jargely attended, and the members of the asso- ciation recall with pride fact that Gen. Grant, when he was in the city, attended their banquets, and that upon one oceasion President Jobuson was present at a festival and entered a Shooting coutest, when he succeded in carrying off the prize. ‘The guests of the asso- ciation on such occasions have been the leading citizens of the country, and it has always been the endeavor to show them true German hospi- tality. At other times whenever there has been public appeal made for charitable purposes the association has responded with money and With assistance, and the endeavor has been to Advunce the interests of the city and to act as | publie-spirited citizens should. So that when the great anuual festival comes they invite all to share with them in the fun and enjoyment which is provided. THE PRESIDENTS OF THE ASSOCIATION. During the twenty-two years of the existence Of the association many changes have taken place in the membership. ‘The first president was Charles Kloman, the second B. Henze. Yhen Mr. Jobn L. Vogt served tor two yeurs, and he was followed by Mr. Simon Woli, who served for nine years, and is now honorary vice president and & member of the board of ‘direc- tors.

During the riots in Belfast Thursday night thousands of workingmen gathered at the Bowen Hill police barracks, erying out that they would have ten lives for every one of the murdered girls. Archdeacon Lever and sev- eral Presbyterian clergymen implored the mob to disperse. Their addresses proved useless, and even while tne clergymen were speaking the rioters kept up a desultory stone throwing at the police. One stone struck a divine squarely in the face dud hurt him severely. Capt. Les trenge, the resident magistrate, was struck by @ brickbat in the head. When the preachers ceased the mob surged up to the gate of the barracks and etled the police to-come and take a square fight. The mov was dispersed by dragoous about 10 o'clock. In the meanume uother mob had taken possession of York street. ‘The wine store of a Catuolic named McKenns, was looted and the stock of Wines emptied in the sireet. This mov then proceeded to Mc- Closkey's tavern. ‘The police had taken warn- ing and got there first. A set fight wok place. It Was waged with desperation on both sides, ‘The police fired twenty-six rounds of buckshot at the rioters, but the mob finally drove them | 4way and sinashed McCloskey'’s tavern to Pieces, distributing the iun’s liquors to all who ‘would drink or curry liquor away. Several of the rioters were wounded in this fight. A num- ber of other taverns were destroyed ‘wud all | their stocks of wine, whisky aud beer thrown out to the crowd in the streets, who drank it Faveuously or carried it away in Jugs and buckets. “In the latter work scores of women | Mud children were engaged all the time the \ rioting lasted.

I also differ with the earl as to two conditions upon which he alleges was based the interview— namely, that he was acting entirely on his own responsibility, and that he declined to hear or say one word to the detriment of the union. Earl Carnarvon didn’t lay down any condition previously. I admit that there was foundation for the third condition mentioned— thatis, that he hoped It was understood that he was not engaged in making any treaty or bargain. Earl Carnarvon said he sought the interview to ask my views as to a constitution for Ireland. It was soon obvious that he wished to give his own views. Replying to an inquiry in regard to the proposal to estublish. a central legislature founded upon county boards, Isaid that I did not think Ireland would ac- cept that as a settlement; that the central body ought to be @ parliament in name and in fact, having power to deal with the local government of counties. Earl Car- narvon stated that this was his own view, ‘adding greatly to the weight of Irish opinions, He also suggested basing the parliament at Dublin upon the colonial model. His opin- ions upon this point struck mp-as being the re- sult of much thought and study. I remarked thatthe protection ofcertain frish industries from Englishand foreign competition would be absolutely necessary. The earl replied: ‘I entirely agree with you, but what a row there will be in England.” 1 then left, believing that we were in complete accord upon the main outlines of @ plan for the settlement of the question of the government of Ireland. I have reason to belleve that the eurl imposed his views upon the cabinet, and that many of his colleagues shared his ‘views; also, that the earl resigned the lord Meutenancy of Ire- land because we did not give te conse rva- live a majority at the polls, I spoke at Wicklow and acted during the elections under te tm: pression that I had guiued from that Inter view. Mr. Parnell, in an interview said he did not intend to issue a maniiesto yet, but aiter the dissolution of parliament he would deliver _ad- dresses at Dublin and Cork, in which he would fully enuuciate bis view! The house of commous last night voted the necessary supplies and adjourned until Wed- nesday next. Mr. Chamberiain’s electoral manifesto was made public last evening. It declares that the government's Irish proposals have been con- demned in advance by every liberal statesman of the countr; What It Was. A large, irregular, knotty and unvarnished cane, with a buckhorn handle nearly as big as an ear of corn, slowly emerged from the door- Way of the Gilsey house reading room yester- day, and moved gently along. It was held straight up and down, about the height of a man’s eyes trom the floor, by along and slim arm, which terminated at’ one end ina yellow glove, and in the otter in a person who was ubbed “the wraith” on the day of his arrival at the hotel. There have been many curious specimens of the English swell in New York of late, but the wraith distanced them all without making an effort, His is the most remarkable getup, says a ‘correspondent of the Argo- naut, ‘that I have ever seen, and he is introducing the very latest ‘in the way of the London cabe habit with signal success. It may have been observed that a new fashion of carrying canes has come in of late. According to the iutest mode one should hever, under any provcation, touch the stick to the ground. It suould be grasped about mid- way between the ends, and heid in front of the walker with the handle well alot, The Anglo- maniacs who led the fashion in this sort o? thiag have already developed it to so fine a point that they seem to be fuliowing their canes about in- stead of carrying them. They are ail tar be- bind the Gilkey house ‘wraith, however. That pleasing specimen invariably lifted his éane to the height of luis torenead, pointing it in the di- rection he wished to go, mioved it ahead by ex- tending his arm, and then, with a vacuous and fascinating air, followed it until a post, a wall or some other object intervened, when he stopped, mapped out his course anew ‘and started over again. This sounds like the heightot absurdity, 01 course, butitis nevertheless true. The wralit had a downy and insincere looking moustache. He was bent nearly douvle—presumably irom. high living and dissipation—nis black beaver bat was set firmly on bis head, and one of his weak eyes lovked earnestly ut tlie cane through asingle glass. His clothes were of a most striking cut, the talls of nis coat—it was of what I believe Is generally known as the “cutaway” pattern—tell_below his knees, and a pair of trousers of such extraordinary width that they Jooked like meal sucks, wrinkled over var nished boots and white over-zaiters. All day loug the wraith had pursued ‘his cane ieebly, but with desperate persistence, ubout the corridors of tne hotel, toliowed by the awestricken gaze of at least @ thousand New Yorkers. I took the trouble to ask who he was, and learned that he was a col- lector of unpaid bills tor a London tailor, who hud an extended New York trade. Tuéy say that he Is the best collector on the face of the earth, for nothing ever fazes him, and he never goes for money without getting it! His method is simple. He dritts into business office at nine o'clock in the morning with the bill in one hand and his cane in the other. He presents the billand then steers fora chair, where he sis aud stares at the cane and waits’ until he is paid. ‘There he sits all day long, without lunch waiting patiently and emotioulessly.

Sizing Up a Railway President. From the Chicago Mail. John T. Lester, now a large stockholder and One of its directors, says that he bought his first hundred shares of Northwestern stock after sitting in game of whist at the Calumet with Albert Keep, the president.

Tne ashes are of a dazzling white- ness, and though in winter the snow and ice lie thick the fire and the noxious gasses seething through the porous soil are ever contending for the mastery. The view from the mmit of Etna is indescribably grand. The sunrise is magnificent, and when once bathed in the Ital- jan daylight the scene isentrancing. The moun- tain, with its circuit of one hundred and eighty miles, is the one prominent feature in the Sicil- jan landscape, and irom its lofty summit, ten thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven feet aradius of one hundred and filty miles, con prising an area larger than Ireland, can be scanned. All Sicily is spread before the eye as itit were a map. On the south is Multa, on the north the Faro of Messina, the Neptunian Mountains and the Li ri Islands, while to- wards the west there is little difficulty in mak- ing out the Pizzo of Cosleone, and Cammarata, and the yadian Isles, immersed in a sea wh tor is as blue as the great shadow of Etna is purple, “It Is hard to imagine that this volcano, ‘famoso, terrible, immense,’ the wonder of every age, and the theme of a hundred poets and historians, has been in almost constant ion since’ the earliest period at which books take uotice of it, Pindar’s picture ot ‘the rivers of fire vomited forth from its inmost caverns, and the floods of fire that gave only smoke in the daytime, but in the darkuess took the form of sheets of crimson tire rolling down into the deep sea,’ might stand for a graphic description o1 the scenes that have been wit- nessed many a time during the twenty-four centuries which have passed since the Theban Poet composed choral songs for Hiero, of Syra- cuse. ‘The forge of Vulcan’ has always been lighted, unless, indeed, the tact that.

It hap- pened that at social gathering a young gen- tleman, who had been attached to some lega- tion abroad, made use of the word “classify” in seense that excited the disapproval of Mr. Ran- dolph. He was quick to resent it, “It is extremely unpleasant,” said he, “to hear careless or ignorant persons debasing the language by a wrong application of words or phrases. Now, sir, you have used the word classity in a’ connection that is entirely wrong. The young attache, dreadfully mortified, col- gred deeply and retired from the conversation.

Pray, sif,, what is the meaning of classify?” “Well,” returned Mr. Harris, good naturedly, “I don't know that I can give a technical dei nition of the word, but I can illustrate itsmean- ing. For instance, I can classity the books of your library by the size of the volumes; or lean Classify the members of the Richmond bar by the initial letter of their names.” “I thought so!” said Randolph, “you know nothing avout it, Suppose I should classity, as you term it, the books of my library by the size of the volumes, a pretty mixture Ishould make, Or, suppose 1 Should classity [here a sneer] the members of the Richmond by the initial letters of their names.

A FEW NOTES CONCERNING THE FIGURE, WITH SOME COMMON EH REMAKKS, From Talks with Homely Girls “The beauty of the temale figure,” says Leigh Hunt, “consists in being gently serpentine.” Suitness is utterly ungraceful. The movements of an unconscious child are the perfection of grace. They are easy, unstudied, natural. The throat should be round and pillar-like. The waist shouid be twice the size of this “tower of ivory,” not, as fashion has too often made It, nearly the Same size. The shouldems should be sloping, and not tuo broad; neither should they be too Barrow, butoccupy that soft and rounded mean that is offered in Milo’s Veaus. The figure should be, above ull, easy; tov small a waist is an actual delormity, aud ‘young ladies who are foolish enough to ‘imagine that a waist of eighteen inches Is lovely should bear in mind that the famous statue or the Venus de Medici, the acknowledged highest type of femald beauty, measures twenty-seven luches, Tue hips should be high in a woman, and wide; the feet small, but in due proportion to the height of the figure; a high instep is beauti- ful, and a hollowing of the sore is cousidered by the Arabs a mark of high birth, The arm is seldom sufhiciently developed in the modern woman of iashion to reach the standard of clas- sieal beauty; she does not use her limbs, and particularly her arms, sufticiently to give them tue muscular growth o: whica they ure capa- bie. ‘The arm should have a round und flowing outline, with no sharpness at tne elbow; it suould taper gently down to asmaul wrist. Thin arms are ugly und require graceiul movements to conceal thelr sharpness. A white arm is beautiful, but @ dark-complexioned arm may be more beautitul if it is beter shaped, form being the chief loveliness of the arm Keeping the elbows away from the sides, sucking out at au angle, is very ungracetul, aud folded arms, a lu Napoléon, or hands in the Jacket pockets, de- tract irom i¢minive grace. ‘Too great stoutness or thinness is to be avoided, the former by vigorous exercise and cureiul let, eschewing those toods whicu are known as flésh-turming aud fat-creating.

In a letter dated May 26, 1886, addressed by Dr. Domingos Freire, of Rio de Janeiro, to Dr. Joseph Holt, president of the Louisiana state board of health, the following interesting statement was made, presenting a summary of THE ART OF BRIBERY. DiMicalty of Giving a Bribe to the Right Man, and Some Way» of Doing It. “You talk about bribery and corruption in politics,” said an expert toa St. Lows Republi- can reporter, “and itis easy and consoling to talk that way, and I don’t blame you for it, But did it ever strike you that it was not such an easy think to brite aman? You have to have more than money to do it; you have to have the confidence of the man you are work- ing. You have to know how to get at it prop- erly. Now I have been about legislatures and the like as much as anybody, and I have seeu as much money pass as any man, and I claim that nine-tenths of the talk about bribery 1s bosh—pure bosh, The one side is willing to bribe, and the other is yearning to be bribed, but it Is one of the hardest things going to get the money out of the pocket of the man who wants legislation in the pocket of the man who hasit tosell, The party of the second part has got to know who he is taking it from. He has FOE (2,95 himsel! tor possible investigations, He as Zot to cover his tracks, in a 80 that he ‘will not be found out.” ‘And how?” That's just the question. In the days when Wakefleld was running the town the gamblers money was paid over in a little room on the top floor ‘of the building on 4th and Chestnut streets, but I would have defied any grand jury to have made a case out of it, Wakefield and the man who was to give him the money sat down ata littie table and played seven-up for bundred-doliar points, When Wakefield got his thousand dollars the game ended, and the boys got value received, too, or thought they aid, which amounted tothe same thing. Then there is the overcoat racket, but that is ax old as the bills and has been played everywhere. The bribee ieaves his overcoat hanging in a closet aud finds a mysterious package of bills in it, Sometimes, as was done in our state fegisla- Uire on one occasion, a tip on stock is given and the stock then manipulated so that the reward comes in, Once I saw a man pick up off the floor and hand to a delegate a bundle of green- backs ‘that he dropped’ just as he was going to Vote the other way. ‘That lucky find changed him, It js all in the way that itis done, Some- times, as Tsay, the great trouble is in ‘finding the parties that the people in power would deal with, For instance, it was pretty well known in this city some time ago that a 1ew thousand dollars would havesaved a noted criminal fro the penitentiary, but the right man to deliver the money could not be found, and conse- quently nothing was done, Well, I could have jound a vehicle for them if they had usked me, St. Louis’ history Is full of such episodes as that, and I always think it isa pity when 1 hear of eases of that sort, where both parties want to trade and yet ca't make # dicker owing to jack of coniidence. It looks like such a waste of good money that might have been hived.” ae The Georgia Dialect.

These expressions must sound strange in’ culti, vated ears, accustomed to Bostonian English, and yet there are several inillion of people w use ‘them constantly. “Stop” for “le: alone” is peremptory, and conveys U meuningot the speaker.

The base of iron is composed of four pyramids, each one square, fifty feet a side,and diminishing toward Ute top, which is twenty feet aside. These four PyTamids are separated from each other by @ space of 300 feet, and tor stability they are an- chored in solid masonry. Two hundrea and thirty feet above the ground these pyramids are united by a gallery fifty fect wide. This gallery, which is covered with glass, will be used ior restaurants, soirees, &c.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser, Sm: The Boston Traascript, in an article cop- ied by you on Saturday last, offers a taretched theory to account for the feats of the “glass eaters,” a theory which discredits the eating and imputes fraud. Would it not be better to accept the simple fact that, while ili-conse- quences may, and sometimes do, follow the indigestion of comparatively small and inno- cent foreign bodies, such as the seeds of orange, lemon or grape, yet such is the provident curé with which nature protects the ulimentary caual, when ignorance, carelessness or vulgar bravado has commited to it presumabiy nox- ious or dangerous bodies, that Liese viciations are generally void of any serious results. In Christison on “Poisons,” an authority which the Transcript will scarcely question, chupter 25, “On Poisoning by Mechanical Ir: ritants,” may be found some light upon this matter: “That large and even angular bodies do not always cause serious mischiel; nay, wat they have been irequently swallowed without any material injury.” “Dr. Marcet's sailor, in the course of bis life, had repeatedly swallowed several clasp knives in quick succession, and nevertheless recovered perfectly witer some days of slight illness.” “As to prune and cherry stones, buttons, coins, needles, pins and te like, they have been’ olten taken, aud even sometimes in large quantities, without any harm.” ‘AS to glass: “After some experiments on animals, gaye a boy fifteen years old several drachms of pounded glass without observing any bad effects.” In Jamaica, West Ludies, “an attempt wasmade by a negro to poisoa & whole family by aaministrating pounded glass, but, although @ large quantity wus taken by the brates kept me from again jalling into the stupor which ineans death.

From the Cleveland Leader. ‘The different methods by which a man may be bribed are legion, I heard of @ case that oo curred in ove of the South American states, the story of which will, in this connection, bear repetition. It goes without saying that bribery among the Lutin race in America has been re- duced to a science.
