There is an air of waiting at President Hewett’s headquarters that forces the impres- sion that either sonre change is contemplated or some change has been effected and the re- sult is not yet exactly known. However, this may be the result of Mr. Hewett’s illness, from which he is expected to emerge and to make himself visible once more in a day or so. He has had a serious attack, and every one about him feels that he is very lucky to get out at all. Secretary Burket was in the office whena Sra reporter called the other morning, and Manager Sullivan came in later, but there was no news of consequence divulged. The schedule of exhibition games is about complete, with only a few open dates left, and presents quite an attractive program of bali-tossing between the Ist of April and the opening of the regular season. The club will not try any more ventures in the way of south- ern trips, or any other kind of trips, for that matter, except a run over to Baltimore, where they will play April1and2, ‘Then Baltimore plays here April 3, and from then on Capitol park will be the scene of a continuation of games. On the 4th and 5th nds City plays; on the 6th and 7th it is probable that Harvard's team will come, though not certain; the Uni- yersity of Pennsylvania club plays on the 8th; Detroit on the 11th; Cuban Giants 12th and 13th; Columbus (American association) 16th; Syracuse Stars 17th and 18th; Toronto 19th an 20th, and Yale 22d and 23d. THE REGULAR SEASON will begin very close to the 24th, if not on that day, which is the date selected by Mr. Hewett in his scheme. He is a member of the schedule committee, which will meet between now and the 5th of March to agree upon dates. Wash- ington cannot have any better schedule this year then it had last, unless President Hewett is able to secure one or two “plums” in the way of holiday dates in New York, Boston, or Chicago, where the crowds are enormous on such aday. Some little anxiety is felt by the local managers in regard to THE ARRIVAL OF WARD with the Australians, who are not expected to reach New York before the Ist or the 15th of April. The anxiety is not as to his final con- tract with the club, for that seems settled, but for the probable short length of time there will be for getting the team in shape under his management, Ted Sullivan takes a melancholy view of the continental trip of the Australians and expresses a fear that there may be trouble when they strike Arabia. ‘There's no knowing what the Arabs may do when they see such a gang of men coming into their country,” he says. ‘They'll be almost sure to take them for invaders, especially if they see them with their bats, and they may mob ’em.” THE CALIFORNIA WANDERERS, however, have encountered no such savage race, and have returned east, conquered only by the great boom they found in the state. ‘The real estate agitation has been so great in some of the cities that it was found impossible to secure suitable grounds, and when it was learned that the nearest grounds at Los Angeles was 5 miles from the city they gave up and came home. Whitney is the only one of the Washington men of the California team in the | city. He is looking well, feeling strong, and says that he has gained flesh. He has made a | protest to both Mr. Young and Mr. Hewitt against the classification of his salary under the | new rules. Both are of the opinion, however, that the sum fixed is sufficient in view of his record last year, and the figure will not be changed unless the private contract scheme can be worked. ‘The men who have now signed contracts for 89 are Haddock and Fearson, pitchers; Eb- right, Clark and Banning, catchers; Carney, first baseman, and Sweeny. The last man will robably do some out-field work at the start, ut he may be given a trial at third. Daily and Widner will, undoubtedly, depart for other diamonds before the season opens. O'Brien may go, and it is just possible that Wilnot and Donnelly will’ be gold, but any changes of this kind that are contemplated are kept verysecret. Ward is, undoubtedly, going to have a good deal to say in this matter. The men oo ae will undoubtedly remain are Whit- ney, Mack, O'Day, Myers, Shock, Hoy and Keefe. BASE BALL IN AUSTRALIA. The Melbourne Telegraph, after describing the game of base ball as played by the Ameri- can teams in Australia, and praising the skill and agility of the players, says: “The question arises: Is the ie likely to | become in Australia what it has become in America? It is perhaps premature to express any opinion as yet upon the subject, It is a quick. manly game, abounding in opportunities for the display of activity, proviso and nerve; but if the opinion freely expressed on all sides on Saturday afternoon counts for anything, there is little fear of cricket being set down from its high place amongst our manly sports in favor of its supplanter on the American con- tinent. * * © @ popular verdict seeme to be this—and we think time will prove it the correct one--that those who want a dare-devil, rough-and-tumble game will stick to football, and those who want a less rough game with bat and ball will adhere to cricket.” enscane tb acta Affairs at Falls Church, Va. Correspondence of Tae EVENING STAR. Faris Cavrca, Va., Jan, 25, 1889.—In the article in Tue Star of yesterday, relating to the death, of startling suddenness, of John Ball, there are some inaccuracies. He died from the rupture of a blood vessel, on the farm of Mr. John Febrey—not Henry—near this place. His son, Benj. Ball, resides at Woodstock, this state. Of his four daughters, Mrs. L. E. Prigg, of this place, is one, and Mrs. W. M. Ellison, who is the wife of the postmaster at West End, is another, and not Mrs. Dellinger. The revival meetings are still continued. Over ninety conversions are the resuit so far of the meetings. I saw to-day, in the open grounds, japonica buds ready to burst into blossoms. A letter just received from Mrs. Levi Parker, who, with her husband, is spending the winter with their son and daughter, near San Bernar- dino, Cal., states that there was a thunder shower there recently, a circumstance which the son and daughter had never witnessed be- fore during their residence of sgme years in that region.

Dr. Leonard officiated and there was a large number of the friends of the deceased present. The floral tributes were numerous,and soesoptiate music was rendered by a volunteer choir of young ladies. The ‘bearers were Senator PLAYING “FAN TAN.” A Chinese Gambling Room Raided Sun- day Night by the Police. Another Chinese gambling room has been raided in this city. As in the other similar raids the police found plenty of money. They found also filthy rooms, calculated to spread disease in the neighborhood. They also claim to have discovered plenty of proof on the premises to make a strong case against the proprietor of the place. It only remains now to hear what the gamblers wiil say when under oath, The place raided is No. 108 434 street, just below Pennsylvania avenue. The time se- lected was 6 o'clock last evening. At that hour the police were on hand. The sign hanging from the front door read: “KWONG CHONG LER, CHINESE LAUNDRY AND BOARDING HOUSE.” The raid, as in a previous, similar case, was the result of jealousy which existed between Chong Lee and Kwong Chong Lee, rivals in the Chinese gambling business. Chong is al- leged to have kept a house on Pennsylvania avenue and Kwong kept the place that was raided last night. Since the last raid ill feel- ing existed between the rivals, Their troubles ended in a trial in the Police Court a few days oa, Then they shook hands across the “bloody chasm” and apparently ‘all was well.” But Kwong Chong Lee’s enemies gave the tip to the police, and several days ago Policeman Costello swore out a raiding warrant for the place. The principal : GAMBLING 18 DONE THERE SUNDAY AFTERNOONS; that is, there are usually more Chinamen there on those evenings, and for that reason Lieut. Kelly selected last evening as the time for serving the raiding warrant. One of the dis- tled Chinamen was found who was willing get his “‘bludder” (brother) in trouble. He was to pay a visit to the gambling rooms and if the game was in progress he was to depart early and leave the door open after him. He went in according to agreement. After re- maining there a few minutes he opened the door and started from the premises. This was A SIGNAL FOR THE OFFICERS to approach. Lieut. Kelly headed the squad of policemen, which consisted of Sergeant Falvey and Officers Costello, Wall, Jordan, Schultze, Fenton, Coghill, Fitzgerald and Matthews. They were secreted behind tree- boxes, telegraph poles and lamp-vosts, both in the front and in the rear of the house. When the signal was given as stated above the officers made a rush and took the inmates of the house completely by surprise. For a few minutes the Chinamen stood dumfounded, but they soon realized that they were in the hands of the law. There were THREE GAMES IN OPERATION, in which more than twenty Chinese laundry- men and storekeepers were engaged. In the front room on the first floor above the base- ment Kwong Chong Lee kept a Chinese pro- vision store. The shelves and drawers were filled with provisions of various kinds. Several Chinamen Were in the store engaged in what the officers thought was some kind of a gam- bling game. In a narrow hallway leading to the kitchen was piled boxes of merchandise, but the officers managed to get through with some sassy & In the kitchen, pots, pans and kettles were hanging on the a while ona table was a pile of bowls and chopsticks, which are used instead of spoons to eat rice with. An old ‘‘tom-cat” was on — in the kitchen to see that no rat entered, devoured the rice on the table and escaped.’ Upstairs, in the back room, were a dozen Chinamen indulging in AGAME OF “FAN TAN.” In the center of the room wasa high table covered with matting. Around this table stood the Chinamen betting on a pile of money deposited in the center of it. With a long stick the “banker” counted out the coins, but before he could finish the officers were in sight. Then the money was grabbed and placed in a tin box. The betting is made on the number of coins left after they have been counted out in fours. Those who guess the number left win the “pot,” and the money is divided between the winners. The large front room on the second floor is known as the ‘blue room.” In this room the curtains and decora- tions are blue. There are two tables and two bunks in this room. A GAME OF POKER, In this room there was a game of poker in progress. Several players held one card each and were playing to win about $150 that was in the pot. They play er by dealing one card to each player. He gents “antes up” and then the cards are shown. Those whose cards are lower than jacks drop out of the game, Then another card is dealt to those who “stay” and the bettin, ory a Then the cards are shown and the best hand takes the ‘‘pot.” The Chinaman who was a conducting the game had $224. The bunks in the room-are about six feet long and four feet wide. A policeman explained that the Chinamen sleep, about six on each cot or bunk. They sleep with their knees raised because they say it makes them tired to stretch out. THE CHINESE PRISONERS, twenty in number, were then taken to the sixth precinct station. Some of them were taken in the patrol wagon, while others were marched through the streets. Upon their arrival at the station they were taken in the sitting room in the rear of the office, where there was a pack of cards on_ the table. Some of them evidently thought they had struck another Chinese joint, for one of them picked up the cards and’started a game of poker, but the police interfered before much progress was made in the game, Then they were called to the rail and Clerk Garner registered them as follows: Lee Shong, Moy Shung, Hing Tean, Wong Dai, Lu Yuen, Moy Ki, Moy Bon; Jun For, Felix Moy, Yuen Wah, Moy Jung, Al Sing, Henry Lee, Key Lee, Wong Sing, Ah King, Lung Lee, Hong Wah, Moy Chew and Charley Stone. The opium and pipes found in the establish- ment were not taken away as evidence, as no charge of keeping an opium joint was thought of. CLAIMING TO BE A CLUB—JUST LIKE “MELICAN” MAN. Kwong Chong Lee has no fears of the law. He has heard of the clubs incorporated by “the Melican man,” who can play poker and not be molested, and, according to his state- ments, the ‘Celestials’ Pleasure Club” meets at the house raided. He showed Policeman Costello a book in which was written the names of the officers of the club, which were as follows: Jas. F, McGill, president; Jno, W. Campbell, secretary; Jno. Marron and Al- bert W. McGill. The incorporation purported to have been sworn to before Justice Clark. The case will be heard in the Police Court next Friday. ISR Nga Planets Visible in February.

On Saturday evening, January 26, was held at the residence of Mr. Lewis Clephane, a re- union of the republicans of 1855-'60—nearly thirty-five years ago. There were present but about thirty-nine of the survivors of a period when it was deemed disgraceful, even danger- ous, tobe s member of that party which had for its chief tenet a belief that all men were born free and equal. | The remnant of the survivors was warmly welcomed by Mr. Clephane, whose connection with the republican party dates back to a time when the advocates of those principles, now the outspoken sentiment of this country and of the whole world, were obliged to meet covert- ly, in order not to incur the violence of the large element of a 1 Oj d to human liberty, and he gave a concise history of the origin, growth, and progress of the national ee party. ere was, he said, an organization in those times known as the Republican club, an ad- junct to which was the semi-warlike tribe of e ‘‘Wide-awakes,” which, whenever it had oc- casion to parade, went armed, to resist threats of extinction indulged in by the crowds of roughs holding allegiance to the democratic party, and who were supplied with the muni- tions of war, paving-stones and bad whisky, by their richer fellows. The headquarters of this diul of men, having the courage of their convictions, was in the building known in those days as the “‘Wigwam,” but now the Tremont House, at the corner of 2d street and Indiana avenue, This building was attacked by the opposition mobs, armed with bricks and clubs, arguments always so ready in the absence of reason and principle. The old National Era, the war horse NDAY, JANUARY 28, 188 of the party from its infancy, was dead, but out of its glorious grave was evoked, like the full- atmed warriors from the head of the famed goddess, in a single campaign, as it were, the great republican party with Abraham Lincoln as its leader. In this building was a vast store of material, presses, and all the necessary equipment of a large printing establishment, and it was here, amid the full fruition of the hopes of the pioneers of the party, that a news- paper, the National Republican, was ushered into the ranks of the few papers which had dared to speak. There seemed, at this juncture, an impend- ing cloud over our political world, which was more apparent here in Washington than else- where. Business was to a great extent sus- pended; the north, as the distinction was made, seemed somewhat in fear at having had the temerity to elect a republican, a mudsill, and the lowering atmosphere of politics was blue and sulphurous with the maledictions of the defeated party. Threats were made, openly, that Lincoln would never take the oath of office; that assassination would intercept him, and that the south would take the government to its own use. But the President-elect, however, was sworn in, riding from the Capitol to the White House amply guarded, in procession, and the “Wide Awakes,” the little band spoken of above, was a part of the cortege, displaying, with conspic- uous promptitude and valor, its unique uni- form, its banners, and its undoubted adherence, loyalty to the party, and fealty, which sent the patriot Lincoln to the supreme place in the hearts of his countrymen, and to a position the highest in the world; Position, the results of which culminated in itardly act, but which id more to render the name of Lincoln re- vered than if he had been permitted to hve a thousand years, The parlors of Mr. Clephane were tastefully draped with flags, veteran, as was the company assembled, and which have borne a prominent part in all the events from 1855 to 1889—sad- dened by disaster, and in success, glowing with fervor in that glorious combination of colors so dear to the heart of every American. After a series of refreshments, congratulations, remi- niscences, and the good old song of “Auld Lang Syne,” in chorus, the party separated, but with measures taken to perpetuate the organization, tie inp ta Sa FOR POOR BOYS AND GIRLS. Jacob Tome’s Plans for a Free Training School. Baltimore telegram to the N. Y. Tribune, Jan. 26. The endowment by Jacob Tome of a free seminary and manual training school at Port Deposit will not be $500,000, as reported, but will be nearly 3,000.00, if not more. His plans are fully formed. and work on the semi- nary will be vigorously pushed, Port Deposit is a town of about 2,200 population, on the east “Two,” “Three,” “Bully!” &. Gen. side of the Susquehanna river, It is there that Mr. Tome arose from penury to wealth, He could not be induced to talk of the school ubtil to-night, when he said: “I want to give poor boys and girls a chance. I know what it is to fight your own way in life, and if I can I want to try and make the road a little smoother for others. My purpose is to erect the necessary schools and workhouses for five hundred children. I want them to have a a ducation and sound manual training. ‘he boys I want to teach the use of tools, and Iwant them to learn the groundwork of any trade they may select. The girls will be taught to sew, to work, atid to cook; and then they may learn telegraphy, shorthand, typewriting, and the other occupations in which other youn, women are engaged. The school is designe primarily for orphans of residents of Port De- it; second, for children of residents of Port syeniaing third, for orphans of residents of Cecil county; fourth, children of citizens of Cecil county, and if there are then still accom- modations left, all Maryland shall have achance. It will not a be a boarding school. I desire to keep my plan free from the idea of a charity house, Iexpect to set aside $2,000,000 as an endowment fund. I intend to erect several buildings on two acres of ground, which I have eget od They will cost probably $500,000, and I hope to start work on them next year.” It is probable that Mr. Tome will make the endowment three million instead of two. He is much interested in the work, and in wishing to see it accomplished before his death, is fol- lowing the wore oe of Isaiah Williamson and Enoch Pratt. The school is incorporated as “The Tome Male and Female Seminary of Port Deposit.” The incorporators are Evalyn 8. Tome, John A, J. Creswell, Wm, J. Jones, Henry C. Nesbitt, Samuel H. Rowland, John M. Clenahan, Thos, C. Bond, Robt. C. Hopkins, and Peter E. Tome, all of whom are residents of Cecil county. Mr. Tome is a self-made man. He was born August 13, 1810, in Mannheim township, York county, Pennsylvania, of Ge: man parents. His early educational advanta consisted of a few short winter sessions at a district school. For several years he hired out at farm work in Pennsylvania, His first step upward was asaschool teacher. He fitted him- self for the place by idles study, and for two years charge of a school near Elizabeth- town, Laveaster county, Pa. In 1833 he went to Port Deposit and got ees in a hotel, afterward securing a cler! ship with lumber dealers in that town. His activity and earnest- ness attracted attention, and David Rinehart, a banker and lumber merchant of Marietta, Pa., 0} d a business connection, putting up .000 against young Tome’s service. The firm of Tome & Rinehart was thus started, and for sixteen years its success was uninterrupted. In 1851 Mr. Rinehart died, and the accounts showed a capital of $100,000.

Allison has been trying the experi- ment of living on meal and water for a month. His daily allowance was one pound of whole | meal, made intoacake with distilled water, and one quart of water. His account of his condition after a week is theering. In the first few days he felt hungry, but about the fourth day this disappeared and he had no craving for other food. iis brain was clear, his lung ca- sight and hearing had improved. He had lost seven pounds weight, but seems to this as rather an advantage. Altogether he feels thoroughly satisfied with his experiment. It isa very economical one, the wheat for seven days having cost only eight pence. This, he says, is living on almost a penny a day and en- joying it. SRE ee hs heats The Hospitable Dog.

Here is a good story told of Roddy’s confed- erate cavalry: One day the troopers were about to go into battle dismounted, leaving every fourth man to hold the horses. The men were drawn up to count from right to | left. Of course every fourth man felt jolly, and this is the way the count went on: “One,” “Two,” “Three,” “Bully!” “One,” Roddy heard each fourth man call out “Bully.” His face flushed. When all had called off he said: “Numbers one, two and bully will go into the fight as dismounted cavalry. Number three will hold the horses.” There were a good many sick “bullies” that day. = eee What They Wanted It For. From the New York Tribune. A venerable, white-haired clergyman of Phil- adelphia has recently been much gratified at receiving several requests from ladies for a lock of his hair. But the other day his wife received a note that put a different light on the subject. It ran as follows: “My Dear Mrs. X.: Won't you please ask your ood husband to send me just a little lock of fis hair. We have all been taking lessons in making hair flowers. So many of the other girls asked him and he sent it to them, but I thought I would rather ask you to get it for me.
