THE EXCITING RACE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP PENNANT—THE STANDING OF THE CLUBS—THE RECORD COMPARED WITH LAST YEAR'S—NOTES OF THE DIAMOND. The National league base ball season closes to- day, and at the present writing the result isin doubt. The games that are yet to be played, one in each of the western cities, may change the record materially, giving a new leader and shifting the place holders much like chess men. New York, though in the lead, has not yet won the pennant. Chicago, although Philadelphia has been shoved back from third place, is still liable to be returned to fourth, and the Cleveland Infants, though now leading the second division, may possibly have to transfer with Pittsburg and go down to that position with which Manager Loftus said at the start he would be satisfied. There are only two teams, the Hoosiers and the Senators, at ail sure of their places. Nothing could move them or rob them of the honors of the standing they have earned. They are the pitiful victims of the hidegus certainties that come to second class teams (although the Hoos- jers ought not to be such) in a first class organi- zation. AN UNPRECEDENTED RACE. Never before in the history of baseball has there been such a race. The winner has been an unknown quantity from tne start. There was no such preponderance of talent at the start that would be an indication of a walk-over, nd the uncertain nature of the race was in- rased when the new-comers. the Infants, ubed In meteoric style to second place, knock- ing the veterans out right and lett, only to weaken their grasp a little later i sink to their proper level. Just now there 10 assurance that Washington will be In the leacue in ‘90, The team has not done well this Fear, starting out under the handicap of poor imanagement, whieh crippled the really good ien of which it was composed until the change tor the better, which came later in the season, was too late todo any good. The work done by Mr. Irwin has been in marked contrast to that of Mr. Morrill, and itis quite certain that if the former had been put in charge of the team at the start the position of tailend would not now be filled by the Senatorial aggregation. There are indications pointing to a desire on the part of President Hewett to withdraw from base ball; it was a hobby of his father, and when the latter died his son acquired the team, with its trials, expense and vexations, by inheritance. He has kept his expenses down to aminimum this year, and has been fortunate enough to make a neat sum in the sale of the ball grounds and the disposition of O'Day and ers. Of course he will send in a reserve list ior QO with the rest of the league presidents, but this must not be taken as an evidence that Washington will have a league club next year. THE BROTHERHOOD SCHEME forming a co-operative league has about as much chance of being carried into operation as Wash- ington has of finishing in seventh place. The National league will go on as usual, and the an- nual biutf of the players will probably result in soime changes in the salary rules that will com- pensate them te some extent for their alleged grievances. There are several changes in the playing rules that should be made without delay. The pitcher should be moved back just a trifle, the foul tip caught within the ten-foot line should be called a strike, bases on balls should be counted as factors in earned runs, the bags should be made a little smaller if not sunk in the ground, and the umpire should be given larger and more arbitrary powers where- with to prevent captains from delaying games. LAST YEAR'S STANDING. In connection with the standing of the clubs it will be interesting to know that when the league race closed last year the clubs stood as follows: New York won 84, lost 47, percentage fl; Chieago won 77, lost 58, percentage .570; Philadelphia won 69, lost 61, percentage .530; Boston won 70, lost 64, percentage .520; Detroit z from Folly, Vice, Ignorance, Exresses or m, Enervating ‘snd unfitting the victim asiness, the Married or Social Relation.

THE GAMES ERDAY. Washington lost a ten-inning game to Indian- apolis, 6to 5. The poor fielding of the Senators was what caused the defeat, for they hit the ball in better shape than their opponents. Krock and Riddle and Fee and Sommers were the batteries. Krock pitched stronger ball than Fee, who was wild. but he received no sapport. Washington’ made 8 hits and 7 errors, and Indianapolis 10 hits and 2 errors. The Hoosters made 2 in the second, and the Senators 3; the Hoosiers tied the score In the fourth and the others made 2 more in the fifth; the Hoosiers tied the score again in the seventh, and won in the tenth. Rid- dle made 2 single hits aud 3 errors. Wilmot secured a home run. Boston just managed to win from Pittsburg in the ninth, 4to 3. Madden and Bennett. and Staley and Miller were the batteries. Boston made 12 hits and 2 errors, and Pittsburg 7 hits and 2 errors. New York batted a victory from Cleveland, 6 tol. The batteries were Welch and Ewing and Bakely and Zimmer. The Infants made 8 hits and 4 errors and the Giants 17 hits and 2 errors. Chicago Chicagoed Philadelphia 3to0. The points were occupied by Hutchinson and Darling and Buflinton and Clements.

IN THE RESIDENTS OF THAT SECTION AT A MASS MEETING LAST NIGHT PLEDGE THEMSELVES To AID THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS IN ENFORCING THEM— A STANDING COMMITTEE APPOINTED. A mass meeting was held last nightat the Whit- ney Avenue Union Mission chapel by the citizens of the county for the purpose of considering the proper course to pursue to assist the Com- missioners in enforcing the regulations recently promulgated governing the issuance of liquor licenses outside the city limits. The meeting was called to order promptly at 8 o'clock, with about seventy-five persona present. Enthusi- asm was not wanting. Maj. B. F. Rittenhouse, treasurer of the Soldiers’ Home, presided. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. After some discussion the following resolu- tions were offered and unanimously adopted: Whereas the evils attendant upon the exist- ence of the large number of places occupied and used in this community for purposes of liquor traffic are of such magnitude as to se- riously impair its moral, social and financial development; and, Whereas the regulations recently issued by the honorable Commissioners of the District of Columbia governing the issuance of liquor li- censes in the county are an official recognition of the pernicious conditions which have so long prevailed in our midst, and as these regulations appear to be in the right direction to govern aba control this traffic, be it, therefore, Resolved, That, us becomes pubiic-spirited law-abiding citizens, we pledge ourselves to as- sist inevery legtimate manner in the enforce- ment of said regulations, Resolved, That a copy of this preamble and resolutions be forwarded to the Commissioners as an evidence of appreciation of their com- mendable action, In answer to the inquiry propounded by Mr. Reese as to whether the thirty saloons on 7tl street road were paying property Major Rit- tenbouse said that he had investigated the sub- ject thoroughly and found they were. STANDING COMMITTEE. The following standing committee was ap- pointed: W. A. Gatley, John Saul, W. J. Rhees, John Cammack, C. M. Heaton and J. B. Johnson. A paper, which had been prepared and was being circulated by the W. J. against seil- ing liquor within one mile of the Soldiers’ Home (except at the Schuetzen park), was pre- sented and received numerous signatures, Prof. Johnson moved that those present sign a noti- fication to the Commissioners that the signers would dechne to sign any application for a liquor license within one mile of their respect- ive houses. This, Mr. Johnson said, would be the means of showing the Commissioners that if their names appeared upon a liquor application it was a forgery, This motion was lost, and there being no fur- ther business before the meeting it adjourned to meet on the evening of October i5 at the same place, Among those present were Muj. Rittenhouse, J. B. Jonson, W. J. Rhees, John Saul, John Cammack, Prof. J. W. Hunt, Cyrus King, John Gass, Prof. Kenniston, J. A. Sterling, John Wineberger, W. A.

The banquet tables, at which nearly three hundred guests were served, were in their burdens exceedingly rich and tempting. It was, mdeed, to employ figure in description, as though our great s0- and literary argand burner had been sud- denly turned upon a scene of mingled artistic beauty aud tropical splendor to test the effect, and that the experiment had proved most gratifying to all concerned. ‘The appropriateness und significance of this celebration were strongly expressed in the place and the persouncl.

Its siguificance was further emphasized in the personnel of the guests who gathered to do him honor, und bespeak conti ued prosperity, health and happine T assemblage included, in additio many who have achieved distinction as co-workers in the sphere already mentioned, comrades who had shared with Judge Moulton the dangers, the struggles and triumphs of the tented eid. The memories of camp, of court and of the ficld of reform were recalled ui circumstances which seemed to throw a new and brighter halo about them, The names of many prominent advocates of reform whose absence was a keen regret were frequently heard. Amoug these the name of Miss Fra: E, Willard, president of the National Woman's Christian temperauce union, dropped most frequent, ‘The family cirele which received this ova- tion and these congratulations from the hauds and hearts of hosts of friends included father and mother, sons Irvin and wife, Fredand Say- mond and daughter Virginia. It was broken only by the absence of Clarence, now in Wash- ington territory. Expressions of esteem and good-will took | form also in pictures of silver, in which culi. nary use and beauty were combined—presents which fairly loaded down the extension table in the private dining hall. Most notable among these waa a large benquet lamp presented by ittee of W.C.T.U. It ht appropriately have been inteuded in its use tosymbolize the bright and clear light which Advocate Moulton has frequently thrown upon legal documents drawn by him in the in- terests of the W.C.T.U.

What is Being Done to Improve and Beautify the City. ‘MR. SCHNEIDER BUYS HALF A SQUARE OF CITY GROUND—THE DEMAND YOR BRICKB— MONEY INVESTED IN OFFICE BUILDNGS— BOME HOUSES GOING UP, Several large office business buildings have been erected in the city recently, and their financial success has been so marked that similar enterprises are being started, During the past week preparations were begun for the erection of a large office building on 9th street near F street. In the immediate vicinity there are a large number of buildings especially given up to offices, the Pacific and the Atlan- tie buildings being the largest buildings of the kind in the city, While the new build- ings are well occupied the old ones have not been deserted, and the increas- ing facilities show how the demand has grown. There are other centers of busi- ness where office buildings have recently sprung up, as, for example, the vicinity of the Treasury department and the city hall. These struct- ures not only add to the business facilities of the city but they are, as a rule, architectural ornaments, What is no doubt regarded by the owners, at least, as their chief merit is that they pay well in the money invested if common report is correct. AN ACTIVE DEMAND FOR BRICKS. A prominent brick maker said the other day, in talking of the busy season which is drawing to a close, that he estimated that at least one hundred and fifty millions of brick had been used in the course of the season, He said that the demand had been unprecedented, and that all the brick yards had been worked to their highest capacity. Under the influence of this demand prices have advanced and men have offered higher rates and paid them, cheerfully rather than to do without the bricks and bring their building operations to a standstill, Although it is now rather late in the year still there is a good deal of building now going on in all parts of the city, Real estate dealers say that their lists of “houses for rent” are rapidly dwindling, and that nearly every thing they had for rent has been taken. The building operations have not had the effect thus far at least of overstocking the market with houses, Rents, instead of going down, as was predicted, have remained at the old figures and in some instances an advance hay been made. One of the leading real estate dealers told a ‘Srax reporter that he found the market rather quiet. While the rent department was active the sales department was rather slow and but little was being done in that line, MR, SCHNEIDER'S BIG BUILDING PROJECTS. Mr. T. F. Schneider, the architect, has bought from Mr. Henry A. Willard the north half of the old Athletic park grounds on 9th and S streets northwest. Mr. Willard recently sub- divided this square, running a street seventy feet wide through the center from 9th to 10th str , and is now building a block of twelve three-story Louses on the S street front from designs turnished by Mr. Schneider, It was the intention of Mr, Schneider to build his half of — the up solidly with filty- two th y houses this fall, but owing to the impossibility of getting ihe immense number of bricks required he will not begin bailding till early in the spring. when the work will be rapidly pushed forward and Mr, Willard will then ‘probably build up his remaining portion, The price Pp id by Mr. Schneider for the ground was hb. Mr. bont $100,000 building enterp Schneider's previous been of the largest in the city and among the most successful. ‘Lhe immense block which he is now completing on Qstreet between 17th and 18th streets and which is worth halt a million dollars is th largest enterprise of the kind in the city This Athletic park operation will cost over 0,000 when completed, SOME NEW HOUSES, Mr, E. W. Woodrutf is building a cottage on 17th street extended at the head of Howard avenue. The plans, prepared by Mr, Geo. W. Cooper, architect, provide a pretty modern frame cotta, ith wide, roomy porches aod a style generally that will make it seem to suit exactly a location ina spacious lawn where it will be built, ‘There will be turrets and gables anda high root covered with colored slate. ‘The houso will contain nine rooms and a large cellar. Mr, Cooper has also prepated plans for two houses to be built for Mcssrs. Barnes and Weaver on Maple avenue, Le Droit Park, and two houses for Mr. T. A. Harding. located on the triangle at the intersection of 22d street with New Hampshire avenue, Mr. G. W. Chase is building, from plans pre- pared by Mr, Cooper, a house on Maryland avenue betweon Sth and 9th streets northeast. It will contain eight rooms, a bath room, and lar under the entire house. ‘Khe house ie et wide by a depth of 50 feet and will be heated by farnace. ——$—___—. A Decided Revolution. When it is possible to meet the demands of developing business without change of location, and when the premises of an old established house are susceptible of expansion, improve- ment and positive revolution, without the ob- literation or impairment of old and familiar landmarks, a double purpose has certainly been accomplisied. ‘The opening at Seaton Perry's on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday last was to Washing- ton an occasion of no small historical aud com- mercial import. ‘To many of the older resi- dents of this city the Perry” building possesses all the attractive characteristics of an old friend, 1 when,during the summer. {t was noticed that 9th street side of the building was being en- y altered, some speculation was excited as to the possible extermination of “good old forms and outlines.” But Mr. Perry has not ouly improved his building by the introduction of 4 new entrayce and six large show windows, He has also beautitied the corner and adorned the street. ‘The ulterior motive of these changes was not, however, altogether embellishment. The dry goods business, which had been steadily grow- ing for nearly haif a century, demanded more expansive accommodations; and, moreover, in the spirit of trade advancement, Mr. Perry de- termined to transform his establishment from a “general dry goods” to a ‘department store.” To do this and to do it in such a man- ner as would meet the sanction and appre: tion of the trade that had been built up under the old regime—and it is safe to say no house in Washington has a finer class. of custom—Mr. Perry realized that he must reconstruct with a lavish and sweeping hand, That he has done so you will observe as you approach the building and notice the marked improvements upon the 9th street side. If you enter by this new door you will find that while the old store simply comprised the first floor and basement, there are now four stories giyen up to an immense dry aud fancy goods business, with new and extensive departments upon ‘cach land- ing, connected by elevator and managed by a small army of skilled salesmen and ladies, The noiseless and swiftly moving elevator is located in the rear of the building and trav- erses the four landings. The basement is no longer utilized for any business branches ex- cept as a dark room for the display of evening | goods. It is now the home of the superior en- gines und the steam-heating pint which sup- plies the entire building. on the secoud floor Yrout are the offices of the book keeper, eashier and the receiving and delivering de- partment, Adjoining these is Mr. Perry’s private office. ‘The cashier's office is the concentrating terminus of the pneumatic tube system of cash carrier, and is the only one of this kind in the city operated by steam. These tubes skirt the ceiling of the basement and connect every department in the store with the business office, and some idea may be obtained of the rapidity of transit ac- quired by this system when a salesman may lace a carrier in the tube and in ten seconds i will be returned to him from the office, It is accuracy and expedition realized. ‘This sye- tem was put in by the Meteor Dispatch Com- eed ot New York and is the same first used ere in Tux Evexrsa Stax office and by the largest mercantile houses in the principal cities of the couutry. In order to convey to the reader some defi- nite idea of the extent of the department s: tem, aa introduced by Mr. Perry, it may stated that on the first floor are to be found the mn suitsand dress fabrics in er cotton, silks and velvet, mourning goods, ki loves, hosiery, umbrellas and parasols, hand- erchiefs, notions, buttons, dress &c. The second floor is given up to table bed line: i flannel SORRY INTERNATIONAL PILGRIMS. Not Sorry for Themselves, But Those Left Behind. PLEASANT INCIDENTS ALONG THE ROUTE—DEL- ROaTES EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS UPON WHAT THEY HAVE SEEN—COL, WILSON’S BOSPITALITY AT WEST POINT—GEN. KELTON IN & FIX, ‘Staff Correspondence of Tur Evexrino Stan New York, Oct, 4 Nearly every one of the delegates to the in- ternational congress who was on the excursion train yesterday said he was sorry, and their tones and gestures were proof of the genuineness of their grief. But they were not sorry for themselves; they mourned for the absent ones and seemed to be continually regretting their absence. Everything was as pleasant as money and the Pennsylvania railroad could make it and those who slighted the invitations so freely proffered them will have nothing over which to congratulate themselves and they will have lost at least two days of such pleasant travel- ing as the ordinary pilgrim knows nothing of. Sixty-four delegates and attaches were down on the printed program as members of the excursion party, but the greatest number that put in an sppenrance was forty. ‘The Argen- tine Republic was without a representative and so were those portions of South America known as Chili and Ecuador. A fraternity of good feeling was apparent as soon as the com- fortable easy chairs in the smoking car were filled and within an hour thereafter everybody was of satistied that everybody else was a jolly good fellow. This disposition to be friendly was even more marked after Inunch had been disposed of, and what aluneh! Any one who didn’t know any better might well be excused for denominating it a full-grown ban- quent, minus only the post-prandial orator: ‘The exquisite appointments of the dining c: were commented upon admiringly by the gen- tlemen from the south, and one of them sorrow- fully remarked to a companion, “If we collide with anything these beautiful decorations would all be smashed up.” From his manner he had evidently teft the possibilities of human wreckage ont of his calculation and anticipated nothing more than ruined cars, ONE DELEGATE’S IMPRESSIONS. “What strikes you as the strangest thing y have seen since you started from Washington’ was the question I addressed to one of the most prominent foreign delegates as the train was speeding across the long, low stretches of sandy | meadows which are Jersey's own, | “Your love, asa people, of publicity—of ad- | vertising”—and he pointed to a huge. ram- shackle barn, which was covered from the ground to the roof with flaring recommend: tions of somebody pre is nothing like that in South he contin “but I wish there was.

Goats ond ducks seemed to flourish, but the specimens of humanity which were visible looked as though a breath of pure air aud a good square meal were prime necessities, It was a relief to get out to the country beyond, where the yellow stubbie, the green herbage. andthe niany-hued autums leaves compete with the more business-like growth of acres of purple pickling cabbage and make the land- scape appear LIKE A HUGE CRAZY QUILT, The weather was all that could be desired and when the train emerged from the tunnel just south of Haverstraw, tho scenery of the | Hudson river became visible for the first time. auch of fith ishinents which Conversation slackened pe ly and the | natural beauties of the rogion were admired, They make brick at Haverste at is the main, in fact the only industry, but they don't use much of their own goods for nearly e y house in the busy little pla of the legates made y and | several of them wanted to know the reason w should Haverstraw dew patronize the lumber | rd_all about the un- veiling of the portraits of Grant.

It was the evident pleasure which was visible upon the face of the Secretary of War, From the time of his entering the hall until he left | for New York his visage was decorated with a broad and satisfying smile. He greeted eve body with the utmost cordiality and while the speeches (including his own) were being made | he looked as though this “world could add | nothing to his happiness. His condition was infectious, for ina little while the smile was | taken up pretty generally and all was very pleasant, You can’t talk to those cadets of the | stern Secretary of War; they have seen him and they kuow better. COL. WIL8ON’S RECEPTION, The reception tendered by Col. John M. Wil- son to the excursion party was an extremely pleasant affair with much more of Washington in it than West Point. As a matter of course the gallant colonel and his wife were the cen- tral figures and all Washington society knows them, Then there were present such well- known people as Adjt. Gen. Kelton, Col. Barr, Gen. Van Vlict, the members of the congress (many of them of the legations at the national capital), Mr. William F. Curtis, secretary of the congress, Capt. Burke, Lieut. Lemly and a number of army and navy officers who have adorned Washington with their presence at one time or anothor. The affair was a complete success, the foreign delegates being especially charmed by the ladies who had come to see what they looked like, Adjt. Gen. Kelton was not just as happy as he would have been under more favorable circumstances, The general only accompanied the party to the Point and had no intention of going any further, but through some biunder his trunk was sent on to Boston with « lot of other baggage. On its face this would not seem to have been a very serious dis- aster, but it was for the trunk contained the general’s senna uniform, which he intended to wear in honot of his old friend Col. Wilson and of the occasion, But no trunk no uniform, and the kindly, suave old officer had perforce to greet his friends arrayed in the suit which he had worn up on the train. He would not even compromise on a proffered dress suit, Col. Wilson looks much better since he went to West Point to live, and he says he feels bet- ter, but he has a very soft spot in his tender heart for Washington and Washingtonians. “Tell the folks down there,” said he to me last night, “that I'm still trying to do my best and to deserve a few of the complimentary thi they have been pleased to say about me.” A NICARAGUAN CADET. When the members of the excursion party awoke this morning at Cranston’s West Point hotel and looked out of the windows all the surrounding arene f was completely enwrapped in athick blanket of fog. Breakfast was hastily disposed of, the big "busses were called up to the front door and the crowd started for the Military academy, where Commandant Wilson was ready for spection. The ride, about a mile and a half, was in itself a treat, for although there is a good deal of fresh air in and around Washington, still I don’t think any- one will claim that it ioe = ence os the atmosphere which made day delicious at West Point, The gentlemen from South America were extremely anxious to see their yo fellow-countryman, Cadet Jose Urteche, an Col.

Delafield was jandant, One morning Cadet Wilson received a telegram from his home in Washington informing him that his mother was dying. He at once applied to the com- mandant for permission to start for home that he might, if possible, reach her before the end came, His request was met with a gruff re- The boy uttered no word of complaint, although his heart was almost breaking, but» tear trickled from beneath an eyelid and rolled down his cheek. The general saw it and in thunderous tones he ordered the cadet from his presence because of ‘unmilitary conduct in allowing himself to cry in the presence of superior officer. “That was a cruel thing. commented the colonel. after soy | is story, “and I trust I shall never be ty of such brutality.” THE CRUISE OX THE YORKTOWN. Very pretty indeed was the United States cruiser Yorktown as she lay out in the Hudson this morning awaiting the arrival of her dis- tinguished passengers. There is a homely old “Handsome is that handsome does,” this be true there is no prettier com- bination on the surface of the great deep than the Yorktown and her officers. It was a pleas- ure trip from beginning to end, illumined b: clear skies, bright sunshine and a lunch that was at once substantial and ornamental, Every- body regretted the end of the only too brief voyage and if the officers of the Yorktown are to be believed they were just aa sorry to lose their passengers a8 their mgers were to say good bye to them, "a HE. — Dr. Coues and Madame Blavatsky. Dr. Elliott Coues of this city in an inter- view in Chicago yesterday said that at a convention of the theosophista, with whom he is associated, held in that city Tuesday, res- olutions were adopted expelling the noted high priestess of theosophy, Madame Blavatsky, and her New York representative, William Q. Judge. ‘The action was taken, so Dr. Coues says, be- cause the madame aud Mr. Judge are inspiring attacks upon Dr. Coues in the press. It seems, says a Chicago dispatch, that, although an avowed theosophist, Dr, Coues some time ago pubhely denounced Mademe Blavatsky as a “fakiz.” At the convention of ber adherents held in Chicago in April Dr, Coues was de- clared expelled, The doctor is professor of anatomy in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, a Transfers of Real Estate.
