SPORTS IN GENERAL. What is Going On in Turf, Base Ball and Pugilistic Circles. ge oe que “HOWL OF THE PLAYERS.” Looking at the General Cat in Base Bail Taries From = New Point of View. , «The Washington club has offered the princely | salary of 1,700 to Jim O'Rourke. The orator fs exceeding wroth and threatens to retire from the diamond.” If ihe mutterings of discontent from the players are any indication the coming season will not witness the utmost harmony between player and management. The sport is bound to suffer in consequence: as a result the attend- ance will fall off. and as a further result the managements will lose money. Base ball mag- ates may make cheap bali nines, but they can- not make the public go to sce them. In this wholesale combine against the base ball players fhe magnates do not ear to have thought of the contingency of le becoming disgusted and staying i words. people will not er @1.50 to see a 25-cent company, either thest: eal or base ball. The magnaies have the powe to “squeeze” the plavers. They may think that every dollar ent off the salary will be clear | gain. They are liable to makea great big error | Tight there. Washington people will not go out | to see a nine of cheap players. They want a mine as good as the rest. The same feeling robably exists in eve: other league city. disgusted patrons will do here will be done elxewhere. If the word was given out} that the local management was intending to give the city the best team possible,and instead of selling and exchanging its best p! greater base ball enthusi- mown here in years. A d in other cities would | asm than has been similar course pur have the same effect. But 2 contrary ‘swhere base der orders to poliey is being followed. | i managers are proceeding beat down” the player to the | lowest limit, and when necessary to take minor | Jeague players. In Boston for instance, thd best bace ball city in the country, it is ead by the Globe: “The magnates are determited | to stand by their ultimatum if they have to| pick up « lot of minor league players to fill in. | “Perhaps the most striking illustration of the changes mapped out by the backers will ocenr in this city. “In cutting the team down to twelve men the idea i to let Mike Kelly and Chariey Ben- | nett goand keep Charley Ganzell, engaging a | Fising young player to help him out.” The Globe goes on to say of the general dis- content: “Not one mevery five of the first-class league players have for next season, and it looks as if the managers would have anything but apleasant duty to perform in getting the men Into line by April 1. ‘That the mess will make an awful howl when cut from 25 to 40 yer cent will be no surprise to those who know the Aisposition of the average ball plager.” person who wouldn't make an “awful how!” on having his salary cut 25 to 40 per cent would be a prize specimen for a curio. Now what kind of work willa player give who has been “held up” inthis manner? How much heart will he put in his plasing? If there is any decadence of public interest in base ball it is not caused by deiective rules, ‘but because the managers in their short- sightedness have disgusted both public and pisrere, There is vet time to remedy mistakes, at it is doubtful if the wise course is taken. Bowling at the Carrol! Institute. It was intended on Saturday night to select the team that is to represent the Carroll Instfiute in the friendly bowling games with the team of the Columbia Athletic Club, by having two teams play against each other, five ona side made of the best bowlers in the institute but this was prevented on account of the unavoidable absence of Bauby and Rice. ‘The five making the highest scores on either side would have been the team according to the plan as suggested by Tur Stan. A team which made good averages on a re- cent evening bad Albert Shulteis, Dougherty, Clark and Armstrong. This team will meet another (ne feam tonight and from among the men making the highest scores will be se- Jected the men who are to do battle for the in- stitute in the coming tonrney, and regular practice nights will be settled upon at once. ‘On Saturday night Kane bowled remarkably well. He made 157 in his first game, followed up by 201 in the next, and he broke the record of the alleys by bowling 215 in his third and lastgame. This places him in the foremost yank of bowlers here and still further strengthens the belief that the institute will have a very strong team to meet the C. A. C. bowlers. and there is no doubt that the institute will make a good showing, and, of course, their friends hope they will win at least one series. Pagilism Dead at San Francisco. The California, the Pacific, the Palo Alto and other protessional athletic clubs of San Francisco have closed their doors and declared all pending contests off. Boxing is now cer- tainly dead in San Francisco, all that remains to completely stamp it out being the governor's signature, which it is expected will be attached to the anti-prize-fighting bill at any moment. ‘Won by “Sullivan the Second.” ‘The twenty-round glove contest last night at the Gaiety Theater. under the auspieces of the Eclipse Athletic Club of Buffalo, between John L. Sullivan of the Southside Athletic Club and ‘Tim O'Day of Bradford, Pa.. for a purse of €300 and an outside stake of $400, was won in the second round by Sullivan by a knockout blow in O'Day’s stomach. (Crack Marksmen at Chicago. Eight of the best men from Philadelphia and New York gun clubs shot fora silver cham- pionship cup valued at €250 at Washington Park, Chicago, yesterday. Opposed to them were eleven members of the Washington Park Club. B. V. Jackson of Chicago killed twenty- five birds and won the cup. J. Seaver Page. J. 8. Thompson and Fred Hoey of New York killed ‘twenty-three birds each. E. G. Moore of Phi delphia and Capt. Mooney were close up with ‘twenty-two birds each. McAuliffe Accepts Abbott's Challenge. Richard K. Fox today sent a cable to the Sporting Life, London, England, to Stanton | Abbott informing him that Jack McAuliffe, the | light-weight champion, had accepted the chal- lenge he recently cabled to America, and that on Abbott's arrival McAuliffe or his backer would arrange a match. Abbott is the light- eight champion of England since Dick Burge has left that class, being unable to fight at the | light-weight limit. { ‘The Chicago Navy Regatta. ‘The international regatta to be held under the auspices of the Chicago navy will be de- ¢ided at Lake Geneva, Wis.

A Jockey Warned for “Pulling” in the Third Race. A slightly increased attendance witnessed the running of five rather poor races at the Ivy City track yesterday afternoon, and also wit- nested in the third race a piece of riding which should have received at the hands of the judges something more than the ‘‘warning” which was given to the offending jockey, Mason. The race was a dash of four and one-half furlongs, in which Ella (Mason), St. Patrick, Register and Anne Elizabeth started. Mason's orders were to take the lead and keep it. Ella opened at 6 | to 5 and closed at 5 to 1. When the fag! dropped she wasalength or two behind, but instead of Mason taking her to the front, as he was ordered todo, he never moved up until well in the stretch. when the mare came on well and strong. At the Inst furlong she was sec- ond, with the race apparently at ber mercy. But instead of keeping her going Mason delib- erately censed all efforts and permitted St. Patrick to win by about a length. Capt. Maddux, the owner of Ella. formal! complained to the judges, and Mason eaid explanation that he found the pace too fast and | felt that he couid not win. Notwithstanding such a worthless excuse, and despite the fact of very suspicions betting on the mare, the judges were content to let the boy off with a warning. In view of the very general belief that the mare was pulled it is hardly necesernry to say that the action of the judges wns no less a great surprise ‘meing. It is hardly necessary to say, too, that if the club wishes to continue its meeting it will have to adopt more stringent rules in the protection of the public.

Christina Sues Otto for Leaving Her for Hortenz. A breach of promise suit has been begun against Otto Vangoin of Long Branch, who is engaged to be married to Miss Hortenz Katz of New York, who is a niece of Judge Goldfogle The plaintiff is Miss Christina Fiordiand of Port Monmouth, N. J., who lays her damages at $5,000. Vangoin is the pro- prietor of Otto's express and knows all the cot- tagers and hotel guests who spend their sum- mers at Long Branch. Miss Fiordland is a daughter of Christopher Fiordland, who owns schooners running between points on Raritan bay and New York. She is handsome and is twenty-one years old. For some years before the death of Vangoin’s first wife Miss Fiordland was her most inumate friend. Mrs, Vangoin died about two years ago, leaving two little children. Miss Fiordland left her home, went to Long Branch, and took the place of housekeeper in the home of her dead friend. Ina few months people noticed that Vangoin was very attentive to his hendsome young housekeeper. He escorted her to entertai ments, and, it is said, was never seen fn tl company of other women. Last spring their engagement was announced formally, and one Sunday the engagement party was held at the home of the prospective bride, and many of their friends were present to tender their con- gratulations, Miss Fiordland returned heme some months and, she alleges, began preparing her walding epparel. imeog tao draco obs bod made was an elaborately trimmed wedding own of white silk. During the summer, 80 iiss Fiordland’s friends say, Vangoin became somewhat cool in his attentions to her. In November Miss Katz, who isa tall and pretty brunet of slight figure, the exact opposite of Miss Fiordland, who isa short and plump blonde, came to Long Branch on & visit to Mrs, Harry Roemisch. On Thanksgiving evening Mrs. Roemisch gave a party in honor of her guest. Among those present was Mr. Vangoin, and he and Mass Katz were attracted toward each other from the moment they were introduced. Dur- ing the rest of Miss Katz’s visit Vangoin was very attentive to her, to the great surprise of those who knew of his engagement to Miss Fiordland. When spoken to on the subject Vangoin stoutly denied that he was engaged to Mins Fiordland and said that he had never thought of such a thing as marrying her. After Miss Katz returned to her bome in New York in De- cember Vangoin frequently visited her, and their engagement was formerly announced in the Hebrew Standard of February 10. Vangoin sent a letter to his father, who is a wealthy jeweler in Germany, and the father sent a valuable pair of diamond earrings to his rospective daughter-in-law. Vangoin gave ‘iss Katz a diamond engagement ring. When Miss Fiordland heard of Vangoin’s engagement to Miss Katz she employed Lawyer Joseph Reilly of Red Bavk to bring the suit tor | damuges against her recreant lover. The amount of damages was placed at $5,000 instead ‘of $10,000, as Miss Fiordland is more anxious to secure vindication than money. The mors fs the case was served upon Vangoin sos- terday morning by Coroner case will be tried at Freehold, .,in May. . will be the elaborate wedding outfit that Miss Fiordland had made in anticipation of her marriage. soe — FAVOR TO CORPORATIONS. York State is Cheated out of Taxes. The New York Herald devotes a page and a half to an article in criticism of the amount of taxes collected from corporations by the state of New York. The Herald charges that state Now and that corporations are especially leniently dealt with when they have contributed liberally to “election funds.”” According to the Herald the West Shore Rail- road Company paid but €7.17 as state tax last year, its capital stock being assessed at €10,000. The New York Central is also said to have paid much less than the law requires, its saving been placed at $150,000. Numerous other in- stances of insufficient collections are cited by the Herald, which also publishes an interview J. C. Hurst to E. Betz, lot 9! White Haven; €2,815.

EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. ©, TUESD. THE LIQUOR LICENSE BILL. It is Further Discussed and Amended, but No Final Action Taken. After Tar Stan's report closed yesterday the debate on the liquor bill continued, Mr. Vest entered his protest against the amendment which he claimed was making a distinction of a certain class and placing the inmates of the Soldiers’ Home on the same footing with minors and habitual drunkards, ‘Mr. Hoar thought it would be a wise and just thing to make some provision in the bill by which the system of waiting for the pay day of the soldiers to come and then stripping them of all their money, which is practiced by these sa- loon keepers, could be stopped. Mr. Hunton thought it would be invidious to single out a class and legislate against them. There were other habitus! drunkards except those in the home. gfe thonght if an amend- ment was offered to prevent the sale to habitual drunkards, whether inside or outside the home, it would commend itself to all. Senator Voorhees was an rdvocate of mild stimulants for the old soldiers, and quoted Jefferson in support of his position. No wine or beer-drinking nation, he said, had ever been a drunken nation. Beer and light wines were antidotes to drunkenness, He favored the iasuance of a regular beer and wine ration to the inmates, as was done in every volunteer home throughout the United States. Mr. Hoar then spoke still further in snpport of his amendment, going over practically the same ground. PRACTICALLY FREE RUM. Mr. Hawley said he had supported the bill with all his mfluence, as the District’ just now had no law, and there was practically free rum, and prohibition in the District would also amount to free ram. He was an advocate of high license. ‘The bill wax not high enough, but was better than no law ut all. The fact ‘that there was now a grogshop for every 115 inhabitants in the District.was extremely dis- creditable. Mr. McPherson supported the amendment, while Messrs. Hill and Fauikner opposed it. On a roll call the amendment was lost by 42 nays to 20 aves. Mr. Hoar offered an amendment that noth- ing in the act should be held to repeal sections 781, 782 and 783 of the Revised Statutes, provid- ing’a penalty for selling liquor to wearers of the United States uniform. Mr. Hill enid the question had been passed upon a few moments before, and moved to lay the Hoar amendment on the table, which was done. + Mr. Hansbrough offered an amendment, which was adopted, changing the word “reg lnr™ to “reputable” where it appeared before the word “physician.” SCHOOLS OR HOUSES OF WORSHIP. Mr. Gallinger offered an amendment forbid- ding the sale of liquor within 400 feet of a private school or house of worship. ‘The amend- ment wax adopted. Mr. Gallinzer then offered an amendment in- tended to perpetuate the provisions requiring an intending saloon keeper to secure the con- sent of residents upon exch side of, the street. ‘On motion of Senator Faulkner, by a yea and nay vote, Mr. Gallinger’s last amendment was tabled, the vote standing—yeus, 29: nays, 22. Mr. Gallinger offered an amendment fixing the wholesale liquor license at $500 and the bar room license at $1,000. The aye and nay vote resulted: Yeas, 29; nays, 21. and the amendment was tabled. THE EXCISE BOARD TO REPORT TO CONGRESS. ‘Mr. Gallinger offered an amendment requir- ing the excise board to make a full report to Congress of the number of licenses issued, con- victions for violation of the law, &c. Agreed to. An amendment forbidding the employment ina saloon of any female under sixteen yea of age or persons formerly convicted of crime was agreed to. Mr. Peffer then took the floor and made a Jengthy speech against licensing the rum busi- ness in any form. When he concluded a special order waa given way to and the bill went over without action. < AFTER THE CROOKS, LOOKING Inspector Hollinberger’s Detect Pickpockets and Other Crimimals. Inspector Hollinberger has made up his mind to keep the city us clear of crooks as possible during the inaugurution and to that end he has already mapped out a program for the officers under him. The members of the detective corps have been assigned to look after certain hotels and officers have been selected for duty at the railroad depots. In selecting officers for these important places Inspector Hollinberger chose men who have had experience in that line of work. Offi- cer Horne, who was s member of the detective corps for a long time, will take care of the crooks who arrive over the Baltimore and Ohio road, while Sergeant Acton, also a former mem- ber of the detective corps, will look after the Baltimore aud Potomac station. The detectives who are to come from other cities will be bere shortly and they will work in all parts of the city, expecially in the crowds. Yesterday afternoon Detective Carter met a well-known confidence man on the «treet, and he told him toappear at police headquarters to- day. ‘The man appeared according to promise and was offered transportation to Philadelphia, which he refused, saying he could get that fur without the assistance of the police depart- ment. H Richard Evans, the confessed crook who was arrested in the Center market Saturday, as pub- lished in Saturday's STAR, was sent out of town today. He was sent as far as New York. George Weston and his wife, the young couple arrested here a few days ago, were also sent out of the city today. ‘They were rele: by Judge Kimbail to leave the city Friday, because of lack of funds they could not leave at that time. > ‘The Central Union Mission. The Central Union Mission bas purchased for $56,000 the old city post office building on Louisiana avenue, and is now engaged in the alterations necessary to provide an auditortum large enough for its Sunday night audiences, There has been paid in cash or subscribed to be paid about £24,000, but it 2 the earnest desire of the building committee, which composed of some of the best known bt menof Washington, to pay the cost of the property and improvements at once and have iy clear of debt.

A large multitude of men’ and women are now occupying posi- tions of honor in the~ city. and in the churches who before the mistion reached them were living in drunkenness and degrada- tion and many of them in crime. ‘The mission aupeals to the citizens of Washington for the $40,000 more needed to complete the payments for the property and improvements, Shall it ‘appeal it v To be sure the work is not for jasbington alone, for strangers from all over the United States have been converted by the mission, but the mission does not want to f phone its plea to other citiesand thus ac- nowledge that Washington cannotraise $64,000 for missions and missionary work to be done in her own city.

Some of the costumes designed for the big balls of February were dainty,’bewitching bits of brilliancy in which fancy and color run riot. One was an oriental, houri-like, diaphanous costume of white tulle and spangled orange Turkish silk. ‘The skirt was of many thicknesses of tulle, which swirl their short lengths langorously about the ankles of the houri, Her hips were bound with the silk embroidered in rich threads of orange and bangles of silk. A sash was also knotted around the silk and its ends were bunches of bright-colored flying ribbons. A loose tunic was bound beneath the breast with twisted silk, and from the shoulders streamed other dozens of the brilliant ribbons, IN FARCY *Another was for “Little as the French woman ever young maiden.

To the Faicor of The Evenuue Star: A mournful wail arises to the effect that the old people are monopolizing society and sub- stituting stiff and solemn teus for the gay and festive dance. The dance does seem to be slowly but surely fading away until it has reached its last stage in the grand, gloomy and peculiar ‘slow waltz.” This may be attrib- uted to the fact that there are but few “young people” any more, for surely no real live young folks with springs in them couid have the pa- tience to go through with such a melancholy ghost dance. This style seems to have super- teded all real dancing nowadays. For two or three seasons past the waltz has beon getting slower and slower, somewhat of an improve- ment on the rapid transit style of waltz at one time in vogue, which wilted the dude's collar and his fair partner's bangs. But we can have too much of a good thing, and at present the slow waltz has slowed down till the next stage will be a dead stop. In view of this state of affairs tbe solemn teas need not interfere with the enjoyment of these ‘old young people, for by another season the dude and dudine will havearriyed at a complete stage of exhaustion. Then if the dowagers will only provide easy chairs at their teas, where these tired young people can rest undisturbed by the music of an orchestra, society will mean solid comfort, An invitation to dance will then be as foliows: “May I bave the pleasure of the next still waltz?” And when the maiden assents the young man can just sit down by her and put his arm around her and be relieved of the necessi of dragging her around the room saat prea —————— Wm.

My eyes felt as though they were being: drawn In through the top of my head. I must con- fess I was feeling sick. A friend, who had only taken a few doses of Paine’s celery compound herself and had received much benefit from it, said ‘Won't you please try some of my com- i?” Well, I took some.

I sleep like a log, and my head must be a new one, as I have not hada | bad headache since I began taking the compound. Ican get up two fights of stairs all right now and fecl so much better that I wish every one in the world who ever had these feelings would just try one hottie of Paine’s celery compound and be con- Vinced of its worth. Icannot say too much in its praise.” And Mrs. 8 C. Perkins of the same place, whose Portrait is given above, says: “For three years I Was in a very weak and debilitated condition. I tried mang physicians, but could get no relief from any of them. “I tried Paine’s celery compound and to that T owe my complete restoration to health. My nerv- | ous system was a total wreck and I was unable to | do my work much of the time, but now Iam doing my own work and can sleep weil nights—the re- sult of taking three bottles of the compound. I recommend it to all who ate suffering from dys- pepsia or are ‘run down.’, I do not think that I could say too much in favor of It.” ‘Thousands of such letters from every state in the Union might be printed, but these years of splendid results have soconnected Paine’s celery compound with success that the name itself has become a perpetual letter of recommendation.
