“On or off the line, we're with the majority — ‘stuck’ on Pearline!" And they're right—you will ob- serve that their heads are level. Millions of women sing the same song as the clothes- pins.

These millions of women mean that they're using Pearline, sav- ing labor, time, and money with it, and have proved it to be perfectly harmless. Now, what do you mean?

EVILS OF RACING IN WINTER. Amateurs and the New Cycling Association, HOW THE “PIRATES” LOST GAMES. | Sensational Developments Promised in Burne’ Suit Against the Pitteburgs. | ‘The suit of ex-Managér Tom Burns against | the Pittsburg club for salary as manager will be called for trial at Chicago tomorrow. The | spicy developments will be fully in keeping with the rapid pace of that great city. They | will show that had the Pitteburgs been half os | proficient in ball playing during the reign of Burns as they were in hoisting in strong drink, playing poker and shooting the seductive craps they could have wou the penuant with six men and had games to spare. President Bucken- berger and Mr. Temple will be the only officials prevent, but the depositions of Secretary Scandrett, Miller, Mack, Farrell, Beckley, Ehret and other players will be taken,and, ifall reports are true, they will form mighty inter- esting reading. "It is said that among the inci- dents related in Miller's deposition will be one to the effect that on a certain occasion he and Manager Burns had opened a crap game in ths club's private office and were shooting on Secre- tary Seandrett’s private desk when that official entered the room and put them to flight. Other players have given day, date and inci- dents of many poker games in which the mana- ger was a star performer. These games aro said to have taken place at hotels, private rooms and various places, and the sport raged fast and furious until as early ax daylight on many occasions, with Manager Burns, accord- iug to the allegations, in the lead and running easily. It 4s said the stakes were frequently | | bigh and the contents of any one “pot” were | well worth having. VLAYEMS DRUNK ON THE DIAwonD.

Vigorous Treatment of Amateur Oarsmen’ At the meeting of the executive committee of ‘the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen Saturday afternoon in New York it was decided to beg erg the following oarsmen as ama- teurs for knowingly competing in an amateur race with a professional upon the occasion of the national regatta at Saratoga, N. Y.. July 26, 27, 28, 1 rowing in Everett B.C: entry: Willi Te. J. Bailey, ‘Mofitt, West End B. C., Boston. Dade, J. Fletcher, J.’ L.

A. 0. in connection with the same race Mathew Formeneck, Mathew Hayes, James Dun- bar. A. W. Silk, John Olsen and Frank H. ey. A regolution was directing the regatta committee and of the national associstion to reject all entrios from the Everett Boat Club of East Boston until they give satisfactory evi- dence that these excluded oarsmen and officers are no longer members of the club. It was then decided to award the prize for the fice eight-oared contest at Saratoga to the intless Boat Club of New York city. The applications of Ricaard I, Kerrivan . Collins and Thomas F. Connelly of of Massachusetts for reinstate- ‘ied. At the evening session the time was spent in jiscussion of a place for holding the next | convention. Chicago, Saratoga, Baltimore and Detroit were represented. It’ was finally de- cided to hold the meeting at Detroit Wednesday and Thursday, August 9 and 10. Outlook for the Clevelands. Patsey Tebeau says of the Cleveland club for 1898: “We have secured three comers in Schel- Jerman of inst year's Buffalo team and Williams and Hastings of the Canton (Ohio) team. They ‘8 trio of youngsters who come to us highly recommended and from all I can hear of them they are good ones. We have necured a rattling good catcher in Boyd, who caught Schellerman for Buffalo. With Bord, Zimmer and O'Connor we will not be wanting in the catcher’s depart- ment.” He adda that there will be no changes in the outfield and that McKenn will be found at short range again, | Barns met him and asked him what be had beon | drinking. He replied that he had been toying | with a couple of glasses of seltzer and lemon, | | but asked that he be not reported to the home | officials, as he feared he would be released. | {t will be told that Manager Burns Inughed | and joked with the player, and it finally wound | up by Burns, the player and others boarding the train and starting a crap game. It will be| shown that on many occasions conductors made strong complaints about the open gambling on trains, but in some instances were unable to ‘THOSE WASHINGTON VICTORIES. The climax of the team’s experiences will be | reached when testimony will be introduced to the effect that on no less than half = dozen oc- casions during the reign of Manager Burns a majority of the players in the team went on the diamond and took part in games at various places when they were visibly under the in- fluence of liquor. _ Base ball patrons will re- member that after winning brilliant games at Boston on one trip the Pitteburgs were beaten four games at Baltimore and Washington. Some of these games are said to be in the list. There will be a big batch of this testimony and some of it will border on the sensational. WINTER RACING. Trying to Get a Bill Passed by the New Jersey Legisiature. The racing officials of the New Jersey As- sociation look wise but say nothing when they are asked if there will be favorable legislation in regard to racing in New Jersey this year. Many changes have been made in that state within a year, sothat everything looks favor- able for a bill that should prove satisfactory to all concerned. A man from Union county said the other day: “If we must have racing it will be far better to have a law that will control it than to have racing conducted as it is at present. Just look at the present state of offsire, Why, the law is openly violated in certain counties every day. If the reports of some of the papers that champion winter racing are true the racing as conducted on one lof the tracks i» certainly a travesty on the sport of kings, as it is called. I have frequently been called a narrow-minded crank, but if 1 am a crank what are the men who send poor horses and shivering jockeys to gallop around in alleged | races in such weather as we bave had in the | last ten days? If Tama crank for being radi- cally opposed to racing it is the men who countenance such racing as I have described that have made me #0. If the authorities do not molest such men Mr. Gerry's society and that for the prevention of cruelty to animals | might find a profitable field to labor in for the benetit of both children and horses. The poor, shivering boys who are employed on the winter race tracks, no matter how cold or stormy the weather may be, are compelled to ride the | horses of their employers. I know that many [of the racing men are warm hearted and | charitable toan extreme. I also am aware of | thix fact, that some of them are extremely ignorant and are brutal in their treatment of | the bors, who are practically children. So that exceptional instances of kindness to winter track employes do not count for much when the rank and file of advocates of winter racing are considered.” The board of control is to have « meeting on January 28, when an important measure is hikely to be considered which greatly affects the fol- lowers of winter racing. It does not look as if a meeting could be held with a quorum present, as A. F. Walcott isin Europe and J. A. Morris in the south. Philip Dwyer is also likely to be absent from the city on that day. However, the absent members may vote on the questions submitted by proxy. WHEELMEN’S NEW ASSOCIATION. Members of the L. A. W. Think There is a Small Chance for Its Success. ‘The formation of a bicyclists’ cash prize rac- ing association, which took place ini Philadel- phia on Thursday, is regarded by L. A. W. officials xe the initial step which will demon- "| strate satisfactorily that racing for cash prizes cannot be made & success. Racing men also look with disfavor upon the attempted introduction of prof evele racing upon a new plan by a syndicate of base ball men. President Bryne of the Brooklyn Base Ball Club, who is greatly interested in the proposed scheme of bicvelists racing for cash, is sanguine of the success of the new move- ment. He affirms that the National Cyclists’ Association of America is not antagonistic to the League of American Wheelmen, or in any way opposed to amateur cycle racing. Upon the contrary, the new asociation, he says, while controlling a different clase, will aim ‘to i prove cycle racing. LOST $100,000 IN BETS. Jonn 8. Campbell Was Unlucky in Back- ‘<x His Judgment. John 8. Campbell of the racing firm of Wal- cott & Campbell told Hyder Ali in Chicago the other day that while their stable broke about even on the season of 1892 he lost 100,000 in Speaking of some of the horses he said: “Old Cassius looks well and Pessara is as sound as a bullet. I did not enter bim in the Brooklyn this year, as it is a difficult matter to get a horse ready for such a race as that #0 in the season. He isin the Suburban, however, and if not given too mach it should be heard from somewhere along the route. He ought to have won last season. Taral's wife was very sick at the time and be was before was banded he in to her. Juét Hi & : F fs iy eg. if i vEErg Hf Pittaburg After Denny Lyons. President Buckenberger of the Pittsburgs has sent request to President Young that Denny Lyons, who was with the Giants last season, be placed on the Pittsburg list. It is hardly likely that Lyons will be called on to play third base. though he may be. Last sea- xon Lyons was all out of form. He injured his side badly early in the play and never got full down to condition. After leaving the Gian Washington wanted him to finiel with that team, but he refused, saving tl wanted to get himself in trim for 1893. He is said to be doing well now and expecte to pick up his old-time skill in batting. Chicago Wants an International Regatta. Ata recent meeting of the Chicago Navy tho constitution was changed so that the annual election took place on the second Tuesday in January instead of the second Tuesday fn March as heretofore. The new officers will take steps at once to have an international re- gatta held in Chicago or its vicinity during the coming summer. The idea is to combine the several associations of the United States into one great association. Invitations have already been sent to the clubs of all the leading colleges, both in the United States and Great Britain and Ireland, to attend an international regatta. Overtures have already been made by Geneva Iake and Oconomowoc people to bave the re- gatta held there, and one of those places will {probably be selected. A Sunday Prize Ficht. A fight for a purse took place between Danny Ryan of Philadelphia and Samuel Jackson of Gloucester in the parlor of a road house near New York yesterday afternoon, Only twenty- two persons were present. No admission was charged, the affair being an invitation one got- ten up to furnish some odd and select “sport.” ‘The invitations were limited to twenty and the purse was subscribed among the spectators, who were in almost every instance well-to-do lawyers, bankers and theatrical people. The gentleman who arranged the unique affair is known to the general public as a manager of amusements and may be guessed at by the mere mention of hia flowing whiskers. ‘The fightera were naked to the waist, and seemed well trained. Ryan had things practically bis own way and literally made a chopping block out of Jackson. A swing on Jackson's jaw in the sixth put him to “sleep.” The winner got $200 for his victory and Jack- son received #35 as a balm for his whipping. After the fight a supper was served, in which both boxers participated. Club Opposed to Sunday Fights. four vicious rounds were fought Sat- urday night by Joseph Lowret and Ed. Green, light-weights, before the New Orleans Athletic Club. It resulted in a draw, owing to the fact that Sunday had arrived, and to continue the contest would be a violation of the law. Shaw Pays $200,000 for the Privileges. F. M. Shaw of St. Paul has been awarded the betting and other privileges at Washington Park, Chicago, for the coming season for $200,000. Sullivan's jew Tone Toward Corbett. Youxastows, Osto., Jan, 16.—Jobn L. Sullivan, who has been playing an engagement here, in an interview, said: “My career, so far ts pugilism is concerned, closed with my fight with Corbett. I have retired from the ring and will not under any circumstances enter it again. What I want to seeis ifany of the others can hold the championship as long as I did. Ax for Goddard, when I meet him I will show him that I am ‘not a third-rate fighter, and there will be no articles of ma either. I feel kindly toward Corbett,‘und am satisfied he wil whip Mitchell if a fight is ar- ranged, and I hope he will, as I want to see the championship remain in America. Sporting Notes. W. B. Hawkins of Lexington, Ky., has pur- chased the famous stallion Egbert, eighteen years old, with thirty-six performers in the 2.30 list, for $12,500. Jockey Taral is under contract to Walcott & ‘Campbell until 1895. He will also have second call in Goodale’s services in the west. “Black and Blue” re; the entries to the Brooklyn the lightest lot of handicap horses that has been seen in years. Harry Jewett, the crack amateur western sprinter, denies that he ever stated that he could prove that Cary was a professional, Jockey Frank Goodale is anxious to shoot Jockey Ed Garrison at fifty live birds for any amount, to be upon. Hereafter the members of the Athletic Club of the Schuylkill Navy will be compelled to pay dioiasion to the boxing entertainments of that elu The election of Frank A.

COMBINES THE FEATURES OF THE MEREDITH AND CAMPBELL ACTS—FULL TRET OF THE PROPOSED MEASURE, GIVING ALL ITS PROVI- SIONS AND PENALTIES YOR THEIR VIOLA- nioxs. Atan important meeting held last Saturday of representatives of the several liquor dealers’ associations, the wholesale dealers and the hotel ‘and restaurant keepers an agreement was reached upon a bill which will be satis factory to all liquor dealers.

A prominent physician has gone so far as to estimate that fully three- quarters of all the deafness which has been re- Meved in the United States daring the past two years has been by the ald of this instrument, and he conalders it an easy triumph over this most dis- tressing aMiction. While the idea of such an instrument is not strictly new, yet the restoration of such @ large number of desperate and abandoned cases by ite ‘use has proven it to be of vastly more importance meridian: provided, farther, licensed any society, club or corporation, sell intoxicat- ing liqours between such hours as the board aforesaid may designate in said permit, Sec. 7.

THE RAILROAD QUESTION. The Commissioners Submit Their Report and Indicate Their Order of Preference. The report of the Commissioners, together with that of the report of Capt. Fiebeger upon the McMillan railroad bill, was submitted to Congress today. The Commissioners, however, amended their report by adding the following: The report of the Commissioners summarizes the order of their preforence as to said plans as follows: First. The route via K street south and the squares along Water street. Second. The elevated route indicated in Capt. Fiebeger’s report. Third. The depressed ronte made in accord- ance with Capt. Fiebeger's suggestion. “The Commissionera most respectfully and earnestly urge that one of the above three gen- eral plans (if satisfactory) should be adopt by this Congress, ‘The delay in the settlement of our vexed steam railroad questions is injuri- ous to the business and other interests of the city and delays much needed extension of facil~ ities by the respective companies. ee Charged With Wasting Water. The water mspectors had a number of cases before Judge Kimball today involving charges of wasting Potomac water, and fines were im- posed in several cases, Inspector McAvoy had two cases in which the judge accepted the per- sonal bonds of the defendants, In one case the lndy of the house was engaged in an attempt to thaw out the frozen pipes when the inspector appeared, She had succeeded in thawing the ice ont of one pipe and was letting the water run to clear the pipe. In the other case the housekeeper was at ber daily work and had emptied the slops in the closet and was flushing it when the inspector called. She ran to the door and he found the water running. ‘The judge suggested to several persons that more modern plumbing would sawe them ex- pense and they could have the changes made for less than they would pay in fines.
