IN*SPORTING CIRCLES Tom Burns Wins His Suit Against RECOLLECTIONS. What « blessed thing is memory! How it brings up the pleasures of the past peg hides rie leasant- ness! You recall your childhood days, do you not, and wish they would return? You remember the pleasant associations, while the un- — ones are forgotten. Per- aps to your mind comes the face of some friend. It was once apale, sad face. It showed marks of pain, lines of care. It seemed to be look- ing into the hereafter, the unknown future. And then you recalled how it brightened, how it recovered its rosy hue, how it became a picture of happiness and joy. Do you re member these things? Many peo- do, and gladly tell how the ealth returned, how happiness came back, how the world seemed bright. They tell how they were once weak, nerveless, perhaps in pain, certainly unhappy. They tell of sleepless nights, restless days, untouched food, unstrung nerves. And then they tell how they be- eame happy, healthy and strong once more. You have heard it often inthe past, have you not? You have heard people describe how they were cured and kept in health? You certainly can remem- ber what it is that has so helped people in America. If not, listen to what Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller, who is known universally as the great dress reformer, says: “Six years ago, when suffering from mental care and overwork, I re- ceivedthe most pronounced benefit | from the use of that great medi- cine, Warner's Safe Cure.” Ah, now you remember.

Tom Burns won his suit against the Pitts burg club yesterday at Chicago and was given #1,500 damages. He could get no more under the Inws of the state, as a recent decision of the supreme court was to the effect that no one could secure damages for a future service. The 1,800 included the smount due Burns to date. An interesting bit of history was unfolded by President Temple, alleging that Burns had been forced on him by Anson. who had agreed tonign to manage Pittsburg for five years at €15,000 a year. Mr. Temple said: “The Pittsburg club signed Burns at $4,300 .a year for three years, mainly with the idea that Anson would sign with them this season. They had made Anson an offer of $15,000, vear for five years on a contract ——— space of time, the total being ote ‘Temple then believed that Anson would really accept the offer and join the club under those conditions. It was Anson's understand- ing, however, that the club should sign Burns for’ a three-year term first. Mr. Temple's original offer was $4,000, but Anson insisted ‘on raising this @500, which Mr. Temple finally The contract Burns signed was unique in base | ball.

The Chicago city base ball league has re- ceived an offer to sell lock, stock and barrel to a syndicate of Philadelphia capitalists, who are of the opinion that money can be made there during the world’s fair, despite the fact that the Chicago club has decided to play Sunday ball. Wednesday the syndicate representative, @ Quaker City lawyer, arrived in that city and saw the officers of the city league. He wanted an option on the property of the league, but this the officers re to give, telling him to make an offer in writing, which would receive due consideration at the Lem ope next meeting. The league's property consists of three parks, located in different parts of the city. It built and equipped these parks at considerable cost and has a good plant, as Sunday ball has always paid here. The Philadelphia syndicate expects to continue the league on the co-operative plan.

The collection, which will remain on view this evening and tomorrow from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m., embraces copies, in photography ‘or wood or’ steel engravings, of some three hundred and fifty of the most famous representations of the Holy Mother and Child, in all parts of the world, and includes the conception and portrayal of ‘the subject by one hundred and fifteen differentartists, ancient id modern, from Cimabue down to ‘those of the present day, some of whom hav instructive ind entertaining, from of view.

Bishop Potter, the new president of the society, said: “There are in nature certain forms of life which, after having done their work, ave superseded and disappear. The organism ii outgrown or outivorn, and, having performed its appropriate function, something else super- vines and displaces it. The old mechanism has fulfilled its end and to undertake to maintain it any longer would be to feed the shell of the crysalis after it has become a butterfly. This is as true of institutions as well of any other or- faniems, and it is because we cannot recognize t to be trne, so there are many excellent people who would tell us, that you and I are here to- night. “I have reflected. as I venture this evening to ask you to do, that while the principle of development, with its consequent principle of the progressive abandonment of inferior forms, does indeed apply to institutions as well as to other organized modes of life, this also is forever true that in the highest forms of life, which are those illustrated in humanity, we | observe traversing, 8o to speak, this iaw of evolution another law which may be called the law of reajjustment. that law is the story of the race. Trace it from the nings of history and you will see that everywhere that history is the record of the same powers, aptitude, gifts, eall them what you will, trained forever to new tasks, and g to now energies. And that I maintain the noblest office of an institution as well as ofaman. Thesavage man and the civilized man are one. They have the samo ‘hands and feet and eyes and brain. Yes, but the civilized | man has put these instruments, step by step, as he bas climbed up out of the barbarism into the | enlightened state, to new and nobler uses, and | so has grentened them and himself by their use. | “It is to such a task as I profoundly believe, | ladies and gentlemen, that this society is called today. “There is for it in the future a work no less noble, no less worthy of its best endeavors than any which it has done in its most prosperous days. The old methods be outlawed by time. For one, I may as well eay frankly, T believe they are. The old theories may wisely be surrendered in the face of facts with which it is idle to attempt to reconcile them.

The movement which resulted in the erection, of this building had ite origin some three years ago in a suggestion made in the course of an address by Thomas H. Wright, the past grand master. An association was formed, the ground purchased and paid for and a build- ing erected at a cost of about $40,000 which is credit to an organization that hashere amem- bership of over 7,000. ‘Last evening the members of the order as- sembled at Love and Charity Hall, and, headed by the National Band, marched to the new building, where the dedicatory servicer were conducted under the direction of the District Grand Lodge, District Master Daniel Webster Presiding, the chairman, the prendent of the uilding association and the committee in charge of the erection of the building. Thomas H. Wright delivered an address, in the course ‘of which he gave history of the movement. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING. The building is four stories high,with a cellar and a frontage of about fifty feet. It is built of pressed brick with brown-stone trimmings. It has a depth of about 100 feet. It is very conve- niently arranged for the purposes for which it has been erected, and is said to be the best lighted and ventilated building of the kind in the city. Iti heated with steam and band- somely furnished throughout. The first story has been rented for a cafe or dining room, and is the finest ever established for colored people in the city. Inthe rear of the cafe is a large supper room and two kitchens—one for the eafo and the other for use of the hall. The second story has a large entertainment room for social purposes, parlors, retiring rooms, cloak rooms, &c.. and is handsomely furnished.

The | fourth story has three large lodge rooms, with ante rooms, closets,éc.. and is designed for the exclusive use of the lodges of the order. On this floor there is also a large room set apart for the use of the directors. Much credit is due Mr. Thos. H. Wright, the president of the association, who by his energy and executive ability has contributed largely to the success of the enterprise. Mr. Wright has filled all the positions of this lodge—fre- quently represented it in the general meetings. ssociates on the committee are Samuel W. jon, David Warner, Charlee H. T. Over, William H.

The Briggs case will be appealed direct to the Presbyterian general assembly. In further- | ance of this action the prosecuting committee | filed last mght their notice of ‘uppeat to the | general assembly, which meets in Washington | onthe third Thursday of May, from the de- | ision and final judgment of the prosbytery of | New York, sitting in a judicial capacity on the 9th day of January. In its appeal to the general assembly the committee gives the following reasons for car- ing the case at once to the assembly: “Be- ving that the trial of said Dr. Briggs is one | of most important m history of the Presby- terian Church by reason of the dangerous er- rors alleged to be contained in the address of the said Dr. Briggs at his inauguration as pro- fessor of biblical theology in the Union The- ological Seminary, and beiieving that the dis- tinct and definite condemnation of these al- leged errors by the supreme judiciary of Pres- byterian Church is necessary in order to pre- vent their spread and influence in the denom- ination; and, while having the highest respect for the synod of Now York, believing that special responsibility rests upon the gen- eral assembly, which is charged with the duty of deciding all controversies respecting doc- trine; and in view of desirableness of the speed- iest settlement of this case do hereby appeal to and request your venerable body to enter im- mediately upon its consideration and judicial investigation of the appeal here presented, to issue the case and to finally determine the ‘im- portant question involved, 80 as to secure the purity and peace of church at the earliest pos- sible day.” +e MISS ANTHONY VICTORIOUS.

Norfolk is covered with snow to adepth of ten inches and the river is filled with ice. Only two schooners have arrived in twenty-four hours, and these came in for coal. An unusual sight is witnessed off Ocean View. Fourteen schooners are at anchor, all frozen in the ice, and two more are off Lynn Haven bay fiying signals of distress. It is impossible to reach them and their names cannot be learned. Few steamers are running in the harbor, and only two tugs seem able to move through the ice. These are the Thomas A. Bain, which is under charter to the Old Dominion Steamship Company, and the Viking. The latter is doing a big business in pulling vessels out of the ice. The steamer Dorchester, from Boston to Norfolk, got in shoal water’ near Willoughby Spit in the tlinding snow storm yesterday, and not being able to work herself on account of ‘the ice had to blow for assistance. The tug Viking responded and pulled ber through be- tween the Rip Raps and Sewell’s Point—an Unusual route into Hampton Roads for « steamer. Vessels are reported at the mercy of the floating ice in the bay. A three-mast schooner and four-mast schooner were said to be dlocked in just outside the road. The steamer New York of the New York, Pkiladelphia and Norfolk railroad, however, manages to get through the ice. Such scenes have not been witnessed in the harbor since 1857, With each ebb tide great fields of ice go out toward the ocean only to return in greater quantities when the tide changes. ——_-e.____ The Swedish diet has opened.
