Supt ap27-tr Also New York to | ROMANCE OF COL. FREY. Once a Poor Woodchopper, Now Presi- dent of Switserland. The following dispatch comes from Mid- dletown, Ohio: John A. Gratwold is a humble farmer, residing in Wayne township, but a few miles west of this city. A number of years ago, before the war, a stranger in desti- tute circumstances applied at his father’s home, in the same neighborhood, for food and lodging, offering to do anything in return for assistance. He gave his name as Frey, and stated that he had been exiled from Germany for a political offense. He was taken into the family, and in a few weeks sent with John, the son spoken of initially, to the adjacent forests, where for a whole winter they lived in a hut and chopped the wood, then so abundant in this part of the country, sleeping on the floor of their rude dwelling and cooking their own meals. Frey was a jovial, good-natured, com- Panionable sort of a fellow, and he and young Gratwold became very intimate. Frey told his past history, claiming to come of wealthy Swiss parents, and to have been a student in Germany, where his political affiliations caused his banish- ment. In the winter of 1860, after having Spent two years with the ) he left for Illinois, where he engaged as a& farm hand. In 1861 he enlisted in an Illinois regiment and served against the south. His mili- tary career was quite brilliant, and he Was promoted to the dignity of major of United States volunteers, He was captured at Gettysburg, and confined in Libby prison, where, after a few months of the agony attendant on this imprisonment, he was condemned to death, as a retaliation of the sentence which the Union powers had pronounced upon Capt. Gordon, a con- federate prisoner. Capt. W. Y. Stewart, another confederate officer, was held as a hostage for the threatened execution of Frey, and neither sentence was ever carried out. Frey was paroled at Aiken’s landing, Va. in January, 1865. He was broken down, and seemed to be on the very verge of death. His love for home became strong, and he resolved to brave the decree of Ge many and return to his native land to die. He recovered wonderfully, however, in the bracing air of Berne, and in a few years became prominent in politics. In 1882, it will be remembered, he was sent to this country as Switzerland’s represen- He resigned in 1887, and returned again to the land of his birth. His success in the political arena then became a matter of universal comment. He was secretary of war, and held other offices, and at the last election, as already dent of the litt! ublic. For many years the Gratwolds, in whose hearts he had always held a place, lost sight of their old employe and friend. Re- cently a letter came from him. The re- cipient was surprised, he was astounded, but investigation proved the truth of the writer's claim that the former woodchopper of Butler county is now president of the Swiss republic. BASE BALL NEXT YEAR. Anson to Retain His Old Place, but Others to Be Replaced. From the Chicago Herald. Adrian C. Anson will captain and manage the Chicago team next year. Since the sea- son closed St. Louis has turned adrift Man- ager Watkins; O'Rourke has been released outright by Washington, and genial Harry Wright has been “turned down” by Phila- delphia. ‘These three teams will certainly have new managers. Pittsburg, too, may join the list. Manager Buckenberger does not seem to be as popular in the smoky city as he was. There is talk that W. C. Temple, who resigned the presidency to Buckenber- ger, will again assume the office, in which case “Buck” is apt to be left out in the cold. Ward will continue to manage New York and Selee will remain with Boston. Fouts is a fixture in Brooklyn; Hanlon will hold down the Orioles, Tebeau will look after Cleveland, Comiskey will retain charge of Cincinnati and Barnie wil! again pilot Louis- ville. There are apt to be changes between now and spring, but eight out of the twelve clubs forming the league will no doubt start under their old managers. It seems certain that only six mai instead of seven as last season, will act in the dual roles of captain. Anson, Comiskey, Ward, Tebeau, Foutz and Hanion certainly will, and Arthur Irwin, the new Philadel- phia_ manager, will coach from the lines. Pat Powers is wanted by Von der Ahe, but the wily Powers does not like Chris, and St. Louis will have to look elsewhere. This ta- ble shows how the league teams were cap- tained and managed during the past sea- gon: Nash and Pfeffer are the only captains of last year who are likely to hold over. ‘The schedule will consist, as last season, of 132 games. An effort is to be made between now and the spring meeting to extend the opening, or home and home series, until the 1st of June. To do this it will be necessary to make each series consist of four games instead of three, as was the case last sea- sen. If this scheme is followed out the fur will fly when the eastern and western teams come together. By June 1 the clubs will have settled down to hard work and the first meeting of the opposing sections will be fraught with much interest. For in- stance, look at Chicago’s record in 1898. Against the western clubs the colts put up a miserable game and in the West vs. West series ranked as tail enders. Then, when the team went east it improved all around and in the East vs. West series ranked as good as third. In the home and home series the tall enders might eat up the stronger fellows, but when the trip began the reverse might be the case. Anson has not landed the pennant for some years. Last season his team finished ninth, the lowest notch Chicago ever struck. | He was badly handicapped in the box last year, was weak nearly all the time at sec- ond base, and short and third were not at | all times satisfactorily filled. There was also trouble with the outfielder. It is not likely that the colts will win the pennant, but that they will land well up in the first diMsion ts a foregone conclusion. That gap at second has not yet been satisfactorily filled, but Anson is by no means idle and his agents are at work. There will be few changes in the make-up of the team. Chi- cago wants a winner, and the prospects for 1804 are more promising than since the brotherhood war nearly ruined the game. The New York Base Ball Club has signed “Jack” Doyle to catch for the Giants next season. This makes four men already en- gaged for 1894, the others being George Davis, third baseman; “Dad” Clark, pitch- er, and Edward Burke, outfielder. ——_—___+e+______ A Mining Opportunity Missed. 5 From the Butte Miner. “Speaking of gold excitements,” said George W. Beal in the presence of a little social gathering in West Park street a few evenings since, “reminds me of a chance I once had to purchase a placer claim in Con- federate gulch. The men who owned the bar offered it to me for $400 cash and were anxious to sell at that figure, but I hesitat- ed. Finally I told them I would have an expert examine and test the ground and if {t was what they represented it to be I would purchase it. This was satisfactory, and my expert made the test and reported unfavorably upon it. That settled the deal, and Iwent on my wayin searchof other fields. About two months later I returned to Con- federate gulch and found a six-mule team and a wagon behind it containing two tons of gold taken from a portion of the bar those men wanted to sell me for $400, The team was ready to start for Fort Benton, with the gold and was surrounded by thirty armed men, who were to guard the metal on the way. After I refused to purchase the ground the men concluded to work it themselves, and from a space of 100 feet square had taken the two tons of gold. I have not seen the ‘expert’ since then.” RES, A few workingmen were discussing names of great scientists in Manchester. The name of Darwin cropped up. One of the company, less learned than the rest, said: “Darwin, I kna that place.

The Jury Thought Druggist Nattans Violated the Law. ‘Yesterday afternoon in the Police Court, after The Star report closed in the drug store liquor case of Arthur Nattans, addi- tional testimony was heard, und it was sug- gested that the court adjourn until today, but Judge Miller said he did not want to keep the jury in court another day before the holidays. A recess was taken for sup- per, and afterward counsel made arguments im the case. Counsel for the defendant argued that the “Golden Fruit Tonic” was compounded and sold in good faith as any patent medicine and that the spirit of the law had not been violated. Prosecuting Attorney Pugh made a strong and plain argument, claiming that the con- tents of the bottle was nothing but plain whisky. Judge Miller laid down the Jaw for the benefit of the jury, calling their attention to the provision of the law requiring drug- gists to have a prescription presented for the sale of liquor. If the tonic was sold in faith as a medicine, although it con- tained a percentage of alcohol, the defend- ant should not be held liable. The judge said that the law was not :ntended to pre- vent the sale of legitimate medicines, but was intended to prevent the sale of intoxi- cants by means of any subterfuge what- ever. The case was given to the jury about 8:30 o'clock, and thirty minutes later a verdict of guilty was rendered. ‘Counsel gave notice of a motion for a new trial, which will have to be filed within four days. ee Mr. Reinhart Criticises His Critic, To the Editor of The Evening Star: Sir: In your issue of December 9 appears @ communication, entitled “‘Magazine Pic- tures,” in which a bitter attack is made upon the illustrations to Thomas Nelson Page’s article on “The Old Dominion,” in the current number of Harper’s Magazine, and in which I am accused of glaring an- achronism, inexcusable ignorance and atrocious negligence of chronological de- tail. It is really very amusing to imagine the lady who criticises these illustrations, taking down from their dusty shelves old volumes of Godey’s Magazine and rehabilitating the personages represented in my drawings with gowns taken from the latest fashion plates of her favorite war period, as a lit- tle child might cut dolls’ dresses out of regardless of th: ate ene eage utterly jens e e8s oO! a I suspect her of having the mind of a much more than I can see or of that trade who could say in writing of the young soldier in one of my drawings “that he is an of- cer, is shown by his sword” ant of the fact that privates of cavalry sabers—and wear then gives a lot of in- formation about officers which it is useless to repeat here, and to sew on my private’s coat another row of buttons. But saber from the straps I would recommend her to put on her glasses and she will dis- cover upon @ more careful and conscien- tous inspection of the drawing the long back strap immediately under his left hand. A young southerner from New Orleans, who had a brother killed in the confed- erate army, posed for the soldier in con- federate uniform, saber and all. I give this detail as a mere matter of fact, and it is to be regretted that my fair critic did not show the same painstaking and conscien- tious attitude in attempting to find fault with my work. As to what a soldier would or would not do is not worth discussion here—the picture speaks for itself. Ha been three years with the Army of the Potomac, twenty-three years in the practice of my profession, gaining the first gold medal at the Paris exposition, the highest award given for drawings, I should at least be given credit for ordinary intel- Mgence in my work. In regard to the young lady’s gown, which your critic criticises, I can only say that it was drawn from one of the war period, miaus the crinoline, which Mr. Page and I both agreed would be simpler, more grace- ful and quite in keeping with the spirit of the time when luxury and fashion were sadly lacking in the south. My illustration of “The Staircaise of the Tuckahoe" was drawn to illustrate the in- terior of one of the old historical mansions of Virginia, mentioned by Mr. Page in his text, and I introduced two figures correctly dressed in the costumes of the first empire to give life and interest to the picture. Your correspondent deliberately “pre- sumes” in her “inexcusable ignorance” that it was my intention to represent the war period, and proceeds forthwith to paste a morning wrapper of that time—“from A. C. Stewart's"—over the graceful costume of the lady ascending the stairs. Very truly yours, CHARLES STANLEY REINHART. New York, December 17. een A SIMIAN JOHN L. He Pounded a Bulldog Until He Cola No Longer Hear His Heart Beat. From the Cincinnati Eaquirer. “The most novel fight I ever witnessed,” remarked Mr. James Meehan, “was between & bulldog and a monkey, down in Cuba. A friend of mine had a bulldog that had licked every canine on the island, and he was very proud of him. A gentleman from South America said that he had a monkey that could whip the bulldog, and the owner of the latter laughed at the idea. After some talk a wager of $500 was made, and the only advantage that the monkey was to have was that he was to be allowed the privilege of using a baton, about the length of a po- liceman’s club, but not so heavy. “The fight was in a public place, and in a it that was surrounded by an iron grating. ere was a big crowd out to see the fight. Of course everybody thought the dog would chew up the monkey. After a few minutes, however, the audience was surprised at the sagacity displayed by the monkey. The bull- dog would make arush at the monkey, and the latter would jump aside and allow the Dulldog to hit his head against the iron grat- ings. This was kept up for twenty minutes or more, and then the dog began to get tired. The monkey began to fight. He would let the dog make a rush and then Jump on the dog’s back and strike him sev- eral times with the baton. This was kept up for an hour or more, and finally the dog fell on the floor completely exhausted, and the monkey actually pounded him to death. The monkey would strike the dog several blows, and then place his ear to the canine to see if he still breathed. “Finally the owner of the dog agreed to give up the fight, but the monkey's owner told him that it was too late, as the mon- key would not quit until he had killed the dog. This was one of the peculiarities of the monkey. They always killed their vic- tims. The owner of the dog said he did not want his dog killed, and insisted on taking the monkey off. While they were taiking the monkey belted the dog several times with his baton, placed his ear on the dog, and with a sudden jump leaped on the shoulder of his owner and commenced to use monkey language. The dog was ex- amined and found to be dead. The people applauded the victory of the monkey, and it looked as if the monkey understood it.” oo —___—_ INTERCHANGE OF JAGS. A New York Police Magistrate and the Texas Drunk Doe Him. From the New York Evening World. A properly sombreroed Texan stood before Judge Hogan, in the Jefferson Market police court, yesterday morning, charged with be- ing drunk. He acknowledged the corn. He said he thought from the way he felt just then that he must have been intoxicated the night before, but he was a police magistrate himself in the lone star state, and if Justice Hogan were brought before him down there on a vharge of being drunk he would cer- tainly discharge him. Justice Hogan felt that this was an argumentum ad hominum that was 99 per cent proof, and let the pris- oner go. The justice now owes himself a first-class “bat” in Austin, where the Texan bench or- Naments or holds court. He has to his cred- it the freedom of that town to the extent, at least, of one full-grown adult's dose of jag. The Texas judge has put himself on record, and when Justice Hugan feels that he needs a little recreation with tanglefoot trimmings all he has to do is to pack his stip and fare forth for Austin, Texas. He may think after he has tackled Texas whis- ky that centipedes are making nests in his hair and tarantulas are biting buttonholes in the rim of his hat, but he will not have to pay a fine or go to jail. The Texas judge traded his courtesies a tittle too liberally, it strikes us. A Broad- way jag or a 6th avenue toot isn’t kneehigh to the wide-open ecstasy of a cactus juice orgy, and if Justice Hogan ever collects his obligations from his lone star brother of the ermine he will tind that he has got more in the trade than he bargained for. And the head he will have next morning will be much larger and more troublesome than the one that pulsated under the sombrero yes- , |terday morning. TRIBUVE TO HARBISON. Eminent Mea Shake His Hand at $ Philadelphia. ‘The Union League of Philadelphia gave a reception ‘m banor of Ex-President Harrison last evening. AS egon as the word was giv- en the line of guests began to form in hall, and two abreast they marched into reception room to greet the guest of evening. The center of the handsome apart- ment was a big table loaded down with Plants and flowers, a space being left be- tween it and the four walls through which the company could pass without inconvent- ence. Returning the line passed out of a side door through the office and back into the hall. As each man grasped his hand the ex- President smiled and said a word or two of greeting. He shook hands in @ sturdy, old- fashioned way. Mr. Whitelaw Reid, Ex- Senator Edmunds and Ex-Postmaster Gen- eral Wanamaker were with Mr. Harrison. Among those who passed the semi-circle was almost every republican in Philadel- phia whose social standing was high enough to get him a card of invitation. Some were democrats, Gov. Pattison and Gen. George R. Snowden being two of the first to enter the room. Gen. Harrison shook hands very cordially with Gov. Pattison, and they wished each other a merry Christmas. Shortly before 30 o'clock the assembled company wended their way up the broad stairway, decorated with smilax, holly and twinkling electric lights, to the banquet hail, where the dignitaries were seated at a table to the north, while the bulk of those pres- ent took their refreshments —— or geet President John Russell presided and in the place of honor to his right sat the guest of the evening, Gen.

Pattison and John W;: After those who were fortunate enough to have seats had satisfied their hunger, and the general company had combated suc- cessfully with the waiters on the floor of the banquet hall, District Attorney seated at the end of the long Whitelaw Reid’s Talk. Whitelaw Reid was next called upon, and to a suggestion that he mount a chair in order to be better heard replied: “No; I shall not climb up, my last exploit having been to climb down and out of office.” Then taking up his address he said: “I am here only to express to the president of the Union League the thanks due for being allowed to participate in such a dem- onstration as this and not to touch on poll*i- cal or moral questions. I am not here in the capacity of a politician.” every meeting of democrats called to action for party purposes, whether such Albert then read the preambie resolutions on which the platform of the organization is based. ‘she preamble stated that the purposes of the state democracy involved nothing more nor less than the resolution of the methods, which made the party great in the past the abolition of the practices which threaten its disruption.

I honor their loyalty, although I do not always agree with their political ideas.” John Wanamaker was then called upon, but contented himself with a few words of thanks for the honor, after which the guests separated. —- eee ‘The Anchor Nurse. From the New York Times. When a billiard player makes a run of 500 points while scarcely moving the balls, at a game that was especially devised to hinder “close nursing” and to compel open- table play, it is likely that the end of that game is near. The balk line will probably follow “straight billiards,” which were made obsolete by the supreme skill of two or three performers in rail play and the “champion's game,” which never attained any considerable vogué during its brief existence. The concluding game of the “last tournament showed that Schaefer had beaten the game as he had beaten other games. His defeated opponents’ assertion that sockets had been prepared upon the table in which the balls rested would be more plausible if some evidence in support of it had been adduced. If the smoothness and equality of the table bed had not been verified by the precautions taken before the game, it would have been easy and simple to verify them afterward. There are instruments of precision more accurate than the disgust of a defeated billiard player, and by means of these instruments it could have been shown whether the balls had in fact been “anchored” in sockets artificially made to receive them. This verification having been omitted, it seems that the charges which it has neglected to verify may be dismissed. The anchor nurse is even more tiresome to look at than the “rail,” in which the balls do move, and, | as are the judgment of force and the iiteral “tact” which it requires, a display of it is not likely to attract the public. Cushion car- oms is the most probable substitute for it. This is a game that has not yet been beat- en. It has the advantage that the highest run made at it, now twelve years ago, was but 77, and that the highest recorded aver- age is 10. It has the further advantage that several players who would have no chance with Schaefer, Slosson and Ives at the balk-line game or at straight billiards, could compete with them on even terms at cushion caroms. The game cannot be play- ed, at least it never has been played, with- out calling for a pretty steady succession of brilliant and interesting shots, while it also gives ample scope for position play of a different kind from that ordinarily re- quired, and even, in gnoderation, for nurs- ing. It is very likely, therefore, to be adopted for tournaments, {f not for matches by the leading players. ot essreeatin te Sy Treasury Receip The “ten day: treasury statement is- sued shows the net gold in the treasury to be $82,787,000; currency, $8,683,000, or total, $91,420,000.
