Kueessi, 425 7th St. “Trans Repaired.” FARRELL IN THE CITY The Well-known Ball Player Sees Mr, Earle Wagner. CAME AFTER SOME OF THAT $7,500 The ‘Duke of Marlboro” Now Greeted as King. AN UNSATISFACTORY MEETING | Charley Farrell, whe seems to have re- | placed famous Mike Kelly as “King” of the base ball profession, is in Washington. He has met what the New York club officials claim are his “enemies,” namely, Manager Schmelz and Mr. Wagner of the Washing- ton club, but they are by no means his | foes. Farrell arrived in Washington at a | late hour last night, and after witnessing | the fire on Louisiana avenue retired. | An interview was held between Treasurer Talcott, Director Wheeler, Manager Ward and Farrell in New York yesterday, and it ence of Farrell in Washington. Then a short conversation ensued, during which both gentlemen expressed it as their opin- ion that the New York club is playing a great game of bluff, and also stated that Farrell will not receive a five-cent piece from the Washington club. Mr. Schmelz | resumed his position in the field. A few minutes later, Farrell, attired in a gray suit, spring overcoat, undressed kid gloves, wearing a hat of the latest style, and smoking a cigar, entered the grounds and walked up to Mr. Wagner and the 1e- porter. The meeting was pleasant on both sides. When the players caught sight of the great catcher a shout went up from more than a score of throats, and Farrell was quickly surrounded by his old friends. “How's the king?” asked someone. “They're trying to throw the ki: replied Farrell, who up to this son had been nierely the “duke”—of Marlboro’. “Are you with the New Yorks?” came from Al Maul. Yo, just stopped over there for a little " was the answer. The players soon fell back, and Manager Schmelz was seen walking across the field. The much-talked-of meeting was about to take place. “Hello, Charley,” said Mr. Schmelz, with the utmost eftusiveness. “All right, thank: Charley said. “Where are you gcirg?” was the next question from the Washington manager. Farrel professed ignorance. “We've got nothing to do with you.” “Got no use for me! Then that's all I want to know.’ But he evidently did want to know more, for a moment later Farrell remarked that he wanted some cf that money paid to Washington by the New York manage- ment. Then began a conversation participated in by Schmelz, Wagner and Farrell, and which lasted nearly an hour. The whole situation was fully discussed. At one point Mr. Schmelz said to Farrell that the latter | had no contract with the Washington club. “Yes, I have,” he answered. “Weill, sign it, and let Nick Young decide the matter,” was Mr. Schmelz’s next re- mark. { .“No, T-won’t put myself that far in your | | Power." | The discussion was continued. Farrell | emphatically stated that he did not think is said that Farrell was again told that| STEINITZ LaskEm. | stencrz, casxem. $2,500 was the highest amount of money 84 P-K3 41Q-Kt PsP the New York club would pay him.

LASKER TWO GAMES AHEAD. | | | The German Expert Forces the Cham- Pion to Resign After 76 Moves. After a stubborn contest of seventy-six | moves Champion Steinitz had to resign the | eighth game of the chess match for the | championship of the world at New York yesterday. Lasker now leads with four games to two, two games ending in draws. | The players will rest for a week, and then | resume play under the auspices of the | Franklin Chess Club of Philadelphia. | When play in the eighth game was re- | sumed yesterday it was found that Lasker had selected for move 46, rook for rook's sixth. This move forced Steinitz’s reply, and when Lasker proceeded with rook to bishop's eighth the champion selected the only feasible move, queen to queen’s third. Black’s rejoinder came as a surprise, for most of the experts present thought that 48. RxR ch; 49. QxR, R—B 8, &c., would have brought matters to a climax. Steinitz made a galiant fight for a draw, but unavailingly. Little by little Lasker pressed his great rival, until there was no resource left for the champion but to re- sign. The score of yesterday's play follows: | Eighth Game—French Defense. \ Local chess players are cordially invited to be present at the Washington Chess Divan, No. 735 9th street northwest, at 8:15 o'clock | this evening, when Mr. J.

The brilliancy of the work in the grand national handicap at Dexter Park, on Long Island, yesterday will linger long in the memory of every man who saw the wind up of one of the biggest live-bird sweep- stakes ever shot in America, The handicap began on Thursday, with fifty-three experts from all parts of the country taking part, and it ended at 5 o’clock yesterday after- noon, with T. W. Morfey of Pater§on the victor, Capt. A. C. Money of Oakiand, N. J., second, and Fred. G. Moore of New York, third. Agreement of Turfmen. A meeting between the conference com- mittees of the new Jockey Club and the Coney Island Jockey Club was held yester- day afternoon. After a session of nearly three hours behind closed doors the follow- ing information was given out by Mr. Law- rence: “The rules to govern the Jockey Club have been accepted by the conference com- mittee of the Coney Island Club and that body has adjourned sine die. In the future we will abide by the rules of the Jockey Club. The rules of racing are sbout com- pleted and will shortly be published in book form, or in a paper known as the Racing Calendar.” Row at a College Game. : |he had? been treated at all squarely by the Washington club, and was answered that |all the unfairness was on the part of the | | New York people. | “In case the deal falls through then I’m out of the league,” the catcher went on to sa} y. “The New York people can't let you go,” was the reply of Mr. Schmelz. “They have | starred you as much as they could. They starred you long before they got you, and it’s a case of ‘have to’ with them now. The | New York public wants you and the club officials must, therefore, play you, and at your own terms, too.’’ This practically ended the talk and the! group started to walk down 7th street. Far- rell intended leaving for the metropolis at o'elock this afternoon, but, on invitation, decided to remain over until tonight in or- der to witness the game this afternoon be- tween the Kids and the Vets. All he would say in relation to the matter was that he was going back to New York and that he did not intend to take a seat on the bench this season. “I am not going to keep my mouth closed any longer,” said Mr. Schmelz later. “We have been trying to treat the New York club squarely and in return are being abused trom all sides. Johnny Ward is trying a great game of bluff, but he is not playing it right. “He ts the man who always stuck up for players’ rights. He was continually bucking against the management of the club where he played, and he always came out ahead. Now that he is a manager, he {s causing all this trouble and putting’ the Washington | management in a bad light merely for a | paltry $500. It is ridiculous. The idea of | the great city of New York not being able to pay such a player as Farrell as much money as the so-called one-horse town of Washington did! P to this point at least the great Meekin- Farrell base ball deal between the Wash- | ington and New York clubs rests practically | as it did before Mr. Farrell journeyed to Washington. It was stated by a spectator at the park this morning that his visit here | | Was at the expense of the New York club/ and was merely another of Johnny Ward's bluffs. Base Ball Yesterday.

The Sporting Life sagely remarks: It is not to be wondered at that every manager has a much higher opinion of his team than has the public, hence every manager who | has talked about his team is sure of victory all along the line. But the base ball public has a good idea of the quality of the vari- | ous teams and decidedly a more important one than the managers, and when every team as they appear now on paper are thoroughly weighed it will be found that there is not very much difference between them now and what they were last year. ee NO SYMPATHY WITH COXEY. General Master Workman Sovereign Opposed to Arbitrary Arrests. In talking of Coxey’s army General Master Workman Sovereign said, at Des Moines, Ia., yesterday: “I have entertained the opinion from its incipiency that it would either result in a failure or a fight, with the probability in favor of failure for want of public recognition and a hear- ing before Congress. But I regret very much to say that it is my firm belief that the action of the civil authorities at Alle- gbeny City, Pa., in arresting and imprison- ing the members of the commonweal army without Just cause or provocation, as stated in the pres: ispatches, will go very far toward aggravating the public mind and creating great public sympathy for Mr. Coxey and his followers. “Better let a hundred professtonal tramps go free on the streets of any American city than arrest and punish by fine or imprisonment one honest, sincere Ameri- can citizen, who by any peaceful method is seeking redress of grievances at the hands of this government. I have no sympathy with Mr. Coxey and his army greater than a common sympathy with every kind of movement intended to raise the American people to the necessity of economic reform.” } +o+—_____ ‘Woman Suffrage in Iowa. Action of great importance to the women of Iowa was taken in the legislature Thurs- day. The senate passed the house bill con- ferring on women the right td,vote for town, city and school officers aff on all questions of issuing bonds. This is the first time women have been given this right in Iowa. The vote was 27 to 20, with three absentees. Another severe earthquake shock has oc- curred on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.

MEDICINE CO., Schenectady, N.Y. aod Brockville, Ont, for 23.50 | Chain bridge a few days ago for the purpose | The number of pigeon-toed women in| Washington is scmething remarkable. Of | course, there are swarms of pigeon-toed men, too, but no one ever looks at a man’s |teet.

There is more danger concealed in a pint of milk than many peopie imagine, and consumers of the lacteal fiuid cannot be too | careful in their inquiries as to where their daily supply comes from and the manner in which it is handled from the time it leaves | the cow until Mary Ann takes it in at the area door. Milk that has been cooled im- mediately after milking is harmless; if it is allowed to slowly change in temperature | it is proper to guard against it. The re- | searches of L. Pasteur on “Fermentation For the Last Fifty Years’ and V. C. Vaughn of Ann Arbor, Mich., on ‘“‘Tyrocox- icon"—milk poison—prove that milk which is not instantly cooled is very apt to be dangerous. At this season of the year,which is so critical for small children and babies, too much care cannot be taken about the milk, The beverage at a temperature rang- ing from 65 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit is an excellent medium for the development of disease germs, accumulated from the dust | in the air, from utensils and other sources. So, 1f you have any of the milk of human | kindness in you, see that your little ones | have milk of the cow that is free from even the slightest picion of faint. There is an awfully bright woman in this town, who has a great, big, good-natured and fairly good-looking husband, who dotes upon her. So far as his personal attrac- tions go he never gives them a thought, but she delights in giving him credit for being the most conceited mortal on the face of | the earth. The other night she took two/| friends to the theater—a mother and daugh- | ter—the former of whom has a great admi- | ration for the husband in question. Busi- | ness prevented his accompanying the trio, | but he promised to get to the theater in | time to escort the ladies home. The oid | lady looked around the house, endeavoring to discover the young man, as the perform- | ance drew toward a close, but her search | Was unavailing. ‘‘No,” she said, when she | gave it up, “he is not here, and 1 haven't | seen a man as good-looking as he is here, either.” This delighted the wife, and when she reached home she told her husband, when he arrived a few minutes later. “That was very kind,” he remarked on hearing of the compliment; and he added, “Did Mrs. B.'s daughter say the same thing?” ‘Oh, no,” returned his spouse quickly, ‘she Is younger than her mother, and has better eyesight.” . * An old Ife insurance agent, who has re- tired from active business, was conversing with a party of friends the other night, and | gave an excellent insight into the tem | which he adopted in his business, and which brought him substantial success. “I was aware when I entered the ranks of Lfe insurance solicitors that the first thing every mother’s son did when they got their | daily paper was to look up the marriage notices, set about finding out the permanent location of the groom, and wait until he re- turned from his wedding trip to swoop down upon him, and expatiate on the won- derful advantage he would derive from se- curing a policy in the Paysure Whenyoudie Company of Plunktown, Patagonia. I adopted the same plan, but found that every | other agent in town would mark the same | victim as myself. One day I met an old chum coming along the street, with his face aglow. He stopped, shook hands with a|/ really surprising cordiality, and then in-| formed me that his wife had presented him | with a baby. In two minutes after my con- | gratulations had been offered, and while we) were still sipping the health of the new | miss, 1 was talking life insurance to him. | 1 portrayed his increased responsibilities | and the rough time the little baby would | have if he was suddenly called and his wife | compelled to leave the infant every day in order to work and support it. That after- | noon he was examined, and in a week his | policy for $5,000 was in his possession and | my commission in mine. After that I let | new husbands slide and paid my attention | to new fathers. Every day I visited the health office and scanned the reports of births. Then I paid my respects to the men most interested in the events that made them necessary. I believe ninety out of every hundred of the thousands of policies I have written were secured from men who were in the flush of pride over paternity. Now, that I've retired, 1 don’t mind giving my snap away.” . es 8 © 8 Some of the piscatorial members of the Press Club went up the river above the of fishing. They hoped they would catch a bass; they thought they might hook a rock fish, and were dead certain they woultl pull in some toothsome white perch at any rate. So they started in high spirits and a four- seat Dayton wagon, equipped with live bait and worms and a generous luncheon. Shortly after dark the party returned. The members were morose and gloomy. “Hello, Charlie,” shouted a stay-at-home, “did you bring back any fish?” Yes,” was the almost surly response. ‘What kind?” “A box of sardines,” growled the disap- pointed angler. ee There is quite a journalistic wave sweep- ing over Washington, producing new daily and weekly papers at a rate never before known here. Not the least noticeable, though perhaps the least in size, of these new sheets is The Phoenix, which today boasts of its fifth consecutive issue. The Phoenix has not come with promises of making a new niche in public needs, nor of filling an old one, long void and aching. It simply starts, and with a delightful amount of pluck and enthusiasm that are good signs that it will weather the usual storm that attacks the prosperity of newspapers. The Phoenix is edited by two bright young men, whose aggregate ages do not exceed twenty-seven years; so as a total they are Mot tuo old to begin the life of journalism Twelve of these years are contributea py | Young Men’s Christian Association, | praved and shocking, but it is true, never- | Harvard College.

But few of them, perhaps, | know that Mr. Sims has been, in times gone by, one of the fastest runners in the world, having won prizes in England, at Birming- | ham, Oldbury, Leicester, Coventry, Oldham, | Bury, Rochdale, Aston, Liverpool and Shef- field, where some of the races were entered by men from almost all over the world, as many as seventy having been in one indi-— vidual race. The individual prizes were sometimes as high as $500, but this amount ‘was a very small fraction of the money | which went from one pocket into anoth- er over the results of the races, some- times as much as $200,000 changing hands over a single event. Professor Sims, however, has no toleration for the methods | employed, or for anything so closely con-/| nected with gambling. When he joined = | burned his records, desiring, as far as pos-| sible, to wipe out all traces of that part of | his life.

TSE ST IN HOTEL CORRIDORS, “The gilt-edged youths of Gotham have adopted a new means of nocturnal amuse- ment that is as brutal as they think {t de- lightful,” said Walter Floyd, the New York broker, at La Normandie yesterday. ‘The latest fad is cat hunting. You are familiar, of course, with the crusade against cats which the women of New York started some time ago from humanitarian motives. They regarded every cat that prowled around the city as being homeless, and, therefore, tired of life, so they went around catching them and putting them to death by means of anaesthetics. The young bloods have followed their example, but in a differ- ent manner. Homeless felines are their ob- jects for annihilation also, but they use bull terriers and fox terriers instead of chloroform. You can imagine what a fight there is when a vicious dog of either of the species named tackles a cat who recognizes that it must battle for its life. The young men who pursue this brutal pastime make | regular engagements with each other for a | cat hunt, and really dress for it. They wear old clothes and rubber-soled tennis shoes So that they may keep up with their dogs | and not attract policemen with their noise | in running. I heard two well-known young | men at the Brunswick one night recently gloating over their experiences of the night before and describing to an interested group the great fight that occurred when their dogs attacked a cat on the steps leading into Mrs. Paran Stevens’ residence, and the cute way in which they escaped from the police, who were attracted by the noise of the battle. I know all this is utterly de- theless.” An American who has spent several years in Italy and studied the conditions of that country with great interest is Edward C. Eliot, a relative of the famous president of day he talked on the subject. “The present disastrous condition of Ita- ly,” he remarked, “is the result of an at- tempt on the part of the Crispi government to uproot the Catholic religion, and in this way diminish the power of the pope in Ita- ly. The attack was first made on the| schools, with the idea to not only destroy the teachings of Romanism in them, but to allow no other teachings to take its place, aud thus let practical atheism supplant the former faith. In hundreds of instances the teachers were expelled, to be succeeded by Then, too, to keep down the religious feeling the sacred- ness of Catholic festival days has been de- stroyed. This has been brought about by the government orders to take the larger scholars in the schools and march them off to some other festivities while the services appropriate to the day were belng held in their church. Many active adherents of Crispi are the owners of factories, and they have entered into a scheme of radical poll- ed, which by the judicious expenditure of money keep many peasants from going to church by entertaining them with gaieties. ‘These are a few of the means by which the government is seeking to crush Catholicity out of Italy, and altogether are responsibi for the appalling condition of the country “The British government js forever ex- perlmenting with its fighting appurtenances in order to ascertain just what it can do in case of trouble with some other country,” said Joseph Markell of Boston, at the Ebbitt. “For some time past it has) been trying to find out just how long it) would take to get its men and supplies} across the American continent in case of a/ difficulty wit Russia.

We need more wash- ing, and we won't have so much disease. 1 hate to see a man who can’t go out on a winter day without coming back snuffling. In nine cases out of ten he needs a bath more thar he does cough mixture. The feet and legs and body need cleansing every day as much as the face, neck and hands. There Is no necessity of plunging into a bath tub ard soaking. A quick rubbing of the body with a cloth after immersing yourself in water of congenial tempera-| ture is all that is necessary. Hot baths | and cold baths can be withstood by only a few constitutions. The Lord intended that we should keep every pore of the body open, and gave us wateP to do it with.

I’m a crusader for cleanliness, and it would be a good thing it every physician would be one too. I al- ways ask a patient what his bathing habits are, and I'll wager a cigar that not one doctor in a hundred does the same thing.” ————-eo—___ FOR LIGHTING STREETS. Am Amendment Aimed at the Use of Gasoline. The street lighting department of the Dis- trict government is up in arms against the proposed amendment of Senator Quay to the District appropriation bill, which pro- vides that no illuminating fluid under 150 /| degrees fire test shall be used in the lighting | of the streets and avenues of the city. | Such an amendment, if adopted, it is claim- | ed, would shut out lighting by gasoline, for which there is no fire test, and would result disastrously for the city’s interest. | Some time ago, when, in accordance with a resolution of Congress, the Commission- ers invited proposals to light the city, but two were received. One was from the Wheeler Reflector Company of Pennsylva- nia, and the other from Nicolai Brothers of this city. The local firm underbid the Penn- sylvanians on vapor lighting, while the Wheeler Company was a few cents lower on oil Lgating; but the lighting of the streets by oil, the Commissioners concluded, be- longed to the dark ages, and a contract was awarded the local firm for gasoline light- ing, upon the condition that an appropria- | tion was obtained for the work. As stated above, there is no fire test for gasoline, and the adoption of Mr. Quay’s amendment would compel the Commissioners to resort to oil lamps. When the matter was first col lered (and the subject was carefully investigated), it was unanimously agreed that the light from the gasoline lamps was the equal of gas in point of briliancy, and in many other respects was superior. According to a statement furnished the lighting department, the following cities use gasoline lamps: New York, Chicago, Phila- delphia, St. Louis, Boston, Baltimore, San Francisco, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Milwau- kee, Minneapolis, Omaha, Neb.,’ St. Paul, | Sveueticg ONE ENJOYS Both the method and results when Syrup of Figs is taken; it is pleasant and refreshing to the taste, and acts genily vet promptly on the Kidneys, ~iver and Bowels, cleanses the sys- tem effectually, dispels colds, head- aches and fevers and cures habitual constipation.

Property owners in the vicinity of 65th street and Madison avenue, New York, held a meeting the other night at the residence of A. M. Palmer, 25 East 65th street. They discussed what legal measures can be taken to prevent John Jacob Astor from build- ing his stable at the corner of 65th street and 5th avenue. The call for the meeting was signed by A. M. Palmer, Frank Rus- sak, Dr. Hubbard W. Mitchell and Dr. B. Sachs. In the opinion of a prominent law- yer, Mr. Astor could be enjoined from bulld- ing a stable on the ground, that the noise of the horses would interfere with the serv- ices in the synagogue adjoining. The com- mittee, it is said, will try to secure the in- terference of the board of health. ——__-+-e-—___ Philo P.
