Some persons witnessed Barnum & Bailey's circus yesterday afternoon, while about 1,800 others journeyed to National Park to see a base ball game, but were treated to an exhibition that rivaled the Sreatest show on earth. The story is briefly told. Manager Hanlon, Pitcher Tony Mul- jane and the Baltimore ball team came here for the first time this season. They played | base ball. Washington didn’t. | When the last man was out in the ninth inning the visitors mduiged in a club yell, the score standing 17 to © in their favor. For the spectators it was a painful contest. | It appeared as though each member of the home team was using every endeavor to joutdo his comrades in to making | errors and hitting at the ball without touch- ing it. Baltimore played a wide-awake, | hustling game that was refreshing, and after watching their work the reason for their leading position in the race is evident. Maul started in to pitch for the Senators, but was relieved by Esper. Toward the end of the so-called game little Jack Horner | was substituted for Mullane, but Manager | Schmeiz’s men still failed to do any stick work. Baltimore secmed to score as it | pleased, and Washington invariably assisted | with errors. Sullivan played third base in | place of Joyce, who wes hurt in Saturday’s game. The score: Wash’gton. R.

Marvel- oan Success After All Others Failed. Testimony of Well-Known People. ‘The wonderful never ceases to attract attention. ‘That relief can be obtained from the most severe and discouraging diseases by the peculiar power residing in one man’s hands {s surely no small wonder. That this can be doae, and ts done daily, has become @ matter of wide note and comment. Patients who have doctored for years with the best medical advisers im the country have laid aside their prejudices in favor of the ironclad.meth- ods of medical practice and adopted the magnetic treatment, to their lasting relief and happiness. Mus. Wakefield, wife of Rev. A.

Waketiell reports great benefit from these treatments givem him in the past three months, from peuraigia and numbness of the right by ya to eri side; also habitual constipation.

He decides di- rectly he sees the play, regardless whether it favors the home club or the visitors. He has had no idea of “roasting” the Wash- ingtons. On the contrary, he would like to see them do well. He expressed great ad- miration for the abilities of the Baltimores. Horner, who went in to pitch for Balti- more in the latter part of yesterday’s game, will be remembered as the crack pitcher of the New Haven club in the Atlantic League in 1890, when Washington was in that or- nization. He afterward played in Eastern engne clubs, and last winter did good work on the Pacific slope. Great things are ex- pected of him. ‘TENN NAMENT.

Mike Raedy Bests Tom Mcintire With- Mike Raedy, thé hard-hitting blacksmith, again proved himself entitled to the heavy- weight championship of the District of Columbia by defeating Tom McIntire, a Wilmington lad, at Steubener’s Road House last night. Two hundred and fifty of the local sporting fraternity made the journey. ‘They were disappointed in the outcome of the Raedy fight for it suddenly terminated at the end of the fourth round by Mcintire breaking his right thumb. They were am- ply repaid, however, in the bout between Joe Burnett and Howard Wilson. The lat- ter opened the evening’s entertainment with @ six-round go for a small purse. Wil- son's prowess in the ring is well-known and it Was thought that he would ha’ time getting the decision. He feat, however, through the generosity of the referee, who awarded the contest a draw. Up to the third round matters were tame, Burnett, who was making his debut in the squared circle, was a trifle nervous. He played @ waiting game, however, and always managed to counter when Wilson was disposed to mix matters. The fourth round proved a great surprise. Burnett assumed the offensive and rushed Wilson all’ over the ring. Wilson tried to follow a but his advances were met every time by straight-arm punches. Burnett, just be- fore the round closed, landed twice on Wil- son’s Jaw and the latter would have been put out had it not been for the referee, who stopped the fighters until the crowd had cooled its enthusiasm. The fifth round was @ repetition of the other and Wilson was tired when the round closed. Both men came up smiling for the sixth, and Wilson dropped repeatedly to avoid punishment. Although the fight up to this time had been clearly in favor of Burnett, the referee or- dered another round, and still being unable to decide, declared the match a draw at the end of the seventh round. There was a long wait, and then the stars of the evening, Raedy and Mcintire, were announced. Frank Kelly was chosen referee and stated the fight would be for ten rounds, a purse of $175 and the heavy- weight championship of the District of ‘Columbia. The first round was a tame exhibition. McIntire was fat, while his antagonist was in the pink of condition. Both men fiddled for an opening, and then Raedy landed with his left on his opponent’s jaw and eross-countered on his nose, drawing the claret. A claim for first blood was made and allowed. The second and third rounds were a trifle better, although it was ap- Parent that Raedy far outclassed the Wil- mington boy. When the fourth round was called McIntire hesitated. He pulled off his right glove and displayed a broken thumb which he declared was excuse enough for nim to stop. The fight was thereupon awarded to Raedy and the crowd quietly dispersed. White Leads King. A pool match for $500 a side was com- menced at the Times Annex last evening at Pailadelphia between Thomas Earle White and Harry King of this city.

Thé best speed of the season by homers was made Sunday by the male birds of the Louis Mehler flight cf Philadelphia. The start was from Odenton, Md., at 9 o'clock, and at 10:56 a. m. ten of the seventeen let go were on the home trap, Coxey getting the lead in being first to pass the boos. His speed for thé 103 miles, counting time in, was 1,551.5 yards per minute, the mile in 67 seconds. From Benning, D. C., a start was made this morning by the Royal Blue Line fiyers of Woodbury, N. J., and the John R. Hans- berger team of Chestnut Hill. The champion flyer Moorestown was sent last night to Pensacola, Fla., from Phila- delphia, to be let go the first favorable i make the 960 miles journey home. lany birds of Philadelphia have been sent for this journey, but only two, Red Whigger and China Bill, have ever re- turned. These made the journey in about twelve day: Abbott and Bowen Fight a Draw. The Stanton Abbott-Andy Bowen fight at New borer last night ended in a draw of ten rounds. Young “Griffo” ‘Beat 1s Billy Murphy. “Griffo” got the decision over Billy Mur- phy in eight rounds last night at Boston. Penasyl ia, 26; Harvard, 7. The University of Pennsylvania base ball team had things their own way in the game yesterday with Harvard. The Penns batted and scored heavily in the third and eighth innings. The Harvards did not hit the ball well, and severai were left on bases Harvard changed her pitchers. Highlands Was replaced in the fourth inning by Wig- gin, who struck three men out consecutive- ty. In the ninth inning Ames went into the box, but it was too late to do any good. About 4,000 spectatore were present. Score: Pennsylvania, 28; Harvard, ————— A May Festival.

IN HOTEL CORRIDORS. “About the most despicable thing that one runs across at a watering or seaside resort is the professional masher,” said Israel Martin of Poughkeepsie at the Riggs House last night. “He poses for the ben- efit of susceptible femininity, and after a conquest or two of light-headed nurse girls or waiting maids comes to regard himself as irresistible and does not hesitate to ogle every good-looking woman he may happen to meet. I had the pleasure last Sunday morning of seeing one of the gentry treat- ed to his just deserts in the office of the St. Denis Hotel at Atlantic City. It ap- pears that the fellow had been a guest at the hotel for several days and took his meals at a table which was also occupied by a Philadelphia business man, his par- ticularly lovely wife and their little daugh- ter. None of the latter had taken the slightest notice of their table companion, and last Saturday morning the Philadel- phian left for his Quaker city office to set- tle up the affairs of the week. Along in the afternoon, so I informed, his wife was seated on the hot@l piaaga reading a book, when the masher came up and pro- ceeded to converse with her. She resent- ed his intrusion, but he coolly took no no- tice of it. In a few moments she arose and angrily informed her insulter that she would teil her husband of his conduct. “"Oh, no, you won't,’ said the fellow with effrontery. ‘You wouldn’t dare to tell him anything about our flirtation.’ “Late Saturday night the Philadelphian returned to his wife and baby. The next morning we were all startled by hearing howls and shrieks coming from the hotel office. It was evident that the lady had in- formed her husband. When I reached the scene he had just knocked the masher down with @ powerful blow in the mouth, and, josing control of himself, had begun kick- ing him violently about the head. Three of the guests jumped forward and pulled him away from his victim or he certainly would have killed him. When the proprie- tor of the hotel learned the cause of the difficulty he ordered the bruised and bat- tered victim of his own insufferable con- ceit to leave the house immediately, and while the latter was packing up his effects an officer arrived and placed both of the ties under arrest. They were taken be- ‘ore a tral who, upon hearing the evidence, immediately dismissed the com- plaint against the Philadelphian, at the same time taking occasion to compliment him upon the punishment he had inflicted on the insulter of his wife. I imagine that the board walk dandies who make life so unbearable to lady visitors to Atlantic City will be @ little careful this summer about whom they distinguish with their irresis- tible consideration.” “The bath tub is des destined to become a thing of the pas’ said Herbert Mitchell, @ Milwaukee builder, at La Normandie this morning. “The ower bath is rapidly coming into use as a household means of bodily purification. Most new houses of the finer variety which are being erected nowadays are equipped with shower rooms, as I suppose it would be well to call them, instead of the familiar apartment containing a tub and a stationary washstand. In a dwelling recently erected in Milwaukee there are two rooms such as I speak of. The walls are tiled to a height of four or five feet, the floor is a composition of some- thing like fine asphalt, and in one corner is a shower bath, while a needle bath is le it. The advantages of such an apartment over the old bath room are mani- fold, and especially in a hygienic sense. The body of the bather, for instance, is never touched by the water that is soiled by coming in contact with it, as is the case in a bath room tub. The rapid spray of water deluging the body also promotes circulation and keeps the blood moving while the ablutions are in progress. Of course, there is a drain pipe toward which the floor gently slopes and which carries off the water as it leaves the body. I be- lieve the fine residences of the future will all be equipped with shower instezd of bath rooms.” “It is surprising how many inventors are engaged in working out a practicable automatic car coupler,” said A. J. Wool- ridge of Boston at the Ebbitt yesterday. “Patents have been taken out on hundreds of the appliances which seem at first glance to be just exactly what railroad companies have been fairly crying for ever since cars were first joined together to make a train, but when it comes to putting the articles in practical use they fail to come up to the requirements in one instance or another. ‘There is no telling what an immense savin. there would be in the life and limb of r; way brakemen and trainmen generally if @ perfect automatic car coupler could be made and operated. The casualty sheets of the Americen railways show a terrible sum total of injuries caused by their em- ployes being caught and crushed between cars, and the man who can lessen by his | inventive genius the big figures those sheets ccntain will not only be something of a/ philanthropist in the good he will accom- plish for his fellow-man, but will also be re- Warded with wealth that a Croesus might envy.” “Do I look very much like a tenderfoot? inquired a well-known and popular ne paper man at the Arlington last night. “Well, whether I am so regarded by my friends or not I don't know, but the able and oily ticket seller down at the Forepauga show must have looked upon me in the light of a soft and callow youth the other night, for he didn’t do anything in the world but try to flim-flam me out of a large and lovely dollar. I went to the circus, accompanied by two ladies, for whom I had aiready se- cured tickets uptown, and ! approached the box office van to get one for myself. I handed in a $10 bill, and {t struck me that the ticket vendor displayed unusual care in counting out my change. He picked up his silver, and seid, slowi, ‘Sixty-five cents and the ticket you got for thirty-five cents makes a dollar; four dollars makes five, and five dollars makes your ten. Here you are, sir!’ He evidently thought I would. shove the money in my pocket and move on with the ladies, but it struck me that the roguish rascal might have endeavored to take ad- vantage of my youthful inexperience. I stopped and looked over the change. The $5 bill was al! right, but the silv amounted to exactly three dollars and sixty-five cents. I informed him with gentle softness that ke | was exactly a dollar shy in the hawt met: part of his returns to me. * e itt | he exclaimed, quickly. I h: ded mn the silver, and he looked it over, and shoved it 1 to me, saying, grufiy ‘Why, there | is four sixty-five there! i counted It again | and found he wes correct. He had slipped } in the extra dollar that he should have put | there in the first place, and evidentiy saw that it was better to cast a slur upon my mathematical accuracy than it was to with- hold the dollar from my hard-earned sav- ings. I tell you that the average ticket seil- er of a cheap circus is about the oiliest thing when it comes to smooth raszality a man can find outside of the ranks of the bunco steerers that permeate Gotham depots about the time that the country trains get “Nine-tenths of the nervousness and ‘dis- eese in this country is due, I believe, to the almost general use of patent medicines and quick-curing nostrums which now! form almost the entire stock in trade in | every drug store in the country.” Dr. El- | mer Stratton of Buffalo evidently meant what he said, as he !eaned back in an easy peeture on a settee in Willard’s rotunda. “Almost every person who has an ache or @ pain rowadays, remembers having read an advertisement of some preparation that is alleged to have performed wonderful cures of just such symptoms as he is af- flicted with, and straightway off he goes and buys a bottle. To say nothing of the thousand and one kidney and liver and lurg and other remedies whose efficacy a: specifics are attested by numberless leged affidavits, the so-called harmless headache powders are proving the ruin: tion of American people, and particular’: the women, to a greater extent than any- ene imagines. The chief ingredient of nearly all of these powders, no matter what may be said to the contrary, is either morphine, opium, cocaine or some other pain-deadening drug.

Thus a habit is form- ed that is as hard to shake as any other, ard which is incalculably injurious to the nerves and especially destructive, if persist- ed in, to the mental faculties.’ The safe- guards of the law should be thrown around the r™nufacture and sale of all patent medicines, with a view to protecting the confiding public egainst its unquestioning trust in the alleged harmlessness of patent medicines.” “Every man who goes down to the sea in ships,” said Capt. Walter Heath, a transatlantic skipper, at the Riggs House last night, “is interested in the removal of the ocean derelicts which has been sys- tematically begun by the United States government, and in which the Britishers are about to actively participaté also. A large volume might be written upon the subject of ocean derelicts; they float hither and thither over the surface of the sea and appear to be guided by some invisible hand along the same paths pursued by ves- sels with intelligence at their rudders. The best instance I know of, showing the lon- gevity of the derelicts, and the immense amount of travel they indulge in, was that of the Jamestown. When the Jeannette relief expedition was at Reykavik, the capital of Iceland, in 181, a derelict delib- erately floated right into the harbor and up to the wharf. It was made fast by the Patives, who discovered that it was stored with yellow pine. The cargo was in an ex- cellent state of preservation, and the Ice- landers were naturally delighted, for they believed that they had lumber sufficient to last them for twenty-five years. Their nap- Piness was short-lived, however, for after the wood was unloaded and piled up, the Danish government stepped in and con- fiecated the whole business and started a lumber yard of its own. A member of the Jeannette expedition, upon his return to this country, made inquiries regarding the Jamestown, and it was learned, beyond any question or doubt, that the vessel had been loaded with lumber in Pensacola, Fla., in 1865; that her crew had been compelled to desert her shortly afterward, in the midst of a great storm; and that for six- teen years she been floating at the mercy of the elements, to finally bring up im the arctfe seas. “There is a fortune awaiting a man who can manufacture a durable wheel for use on electric cars,” said W. Kennon Whiting of the construction and repair department of the Baitimore Traction Company, at the Arlington last night. “The life of a wheel on a cable car is about 400 days, but on electric railways propelled by the trolley system, where the electricity is returned to the power house through the medium of the tracks, the expert does not live who can absolutely determine how long the wheels will last. They wear out in the most eccentric manner. A comparatively new wheel will be returned to the shop with its rim and edge worn off, while the wheel on the other side of the car, which has been in use precisely the same lerfth of time, will be found to be absolutely un- injured. No one so far has been able to discover the reason for this peculiar condi- tion of affairs. You know there is a motor attached to each axle. if it was discover- ed that the motor on one axle—the rear axle, for instance—drove the wheels attach- ed to it at a fester rate than the motor on the front axle prope.led its wheels, it would not be difficult to find out the cause of the unusual wear and tear, because the __— that were going at the more rapid rate would necessarily slide. But this can hard- ly be the cause, because, as I said before, the wheels on one side of a truck will be perfect while the others will be worn to the point of utter uselessness. Some of the best mechanical minds in America are now engaged upcen this problem, and its solution wil be hailed with much satisfaction by every car wheel manufacturer in America.” FOR GOLD AND SILVER. Prominent Chicsgoans Who Favor International Bimetallism. Chicago bankers and merchant princes and manufacturers whose names are widely known have come out for international bi- metallism. Marshall Fila, Lyman J. Gage, George M. Pullman and fifty others of wealth and importance in the financial world have signed a creed with bimetallism as its basis, and pledged themselves to pro- isote its adoption as an international sys- “STHS ts the outcsme'Gf s cbhference held @ short time ago by several prominent financiers. At this conference the following va commiitiee: “The committee is formed for the purpose of promoiing the establishment of interna- tional bimetallism upoa the general pian of the Latin union. but with a broader basis. ‘Those concerned in the movement, while earnestly opposed to free coinaye of silver or any increased use of stiver by this coun- try independent of international action and agreement, believe that the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act a: fords a fitiing and fortunate opportunity for the cause of international bi- metallism. They beiieve that the day is not far distant when the necessities of com- merce will compel the international use of silver as well as gold in the currencies throughout the world.” Franklin H. Head, who was appointed secretary of the committee, at once set about finding others of the same belief, and up to the present time has secured the sig- natures of over fifty prominent gentlemen. In addition to Messrs. Field, Gage and Pull- man the list contains the names of Philip D. Armour, Franklin MeV. eagh, H. Por- ter, John R. Walsh, H. H. Kohisaat, 0. W. Potter, John DeKoven, J. W. Doans, T. B. Blackstone, Victor F. Lawson, Wm. Penn Nixon, Joseph Medill, Robert T. Lincoh Erskine M. Pheips, Marvin Hughitt, H. Higginootnam and many others well known in the commercial and financial world. Speaking of the matter, Mr. Head said: “if Engiand will enter an international agreement to accept a bimetallic system every other great power will do the same, and gold will cease to appreciate, prices will Stop falling and prosperity will be univer- sally restored. If there is not some kind of change soon India will be as bankrupt as Argentine, Guatemala, Turkey and Egypt are now, and England knows it. That is why the time is ripe to make a move for international bimetallism. Universal re- monetization of sliver is what we want. To adopt free coinage in this country in the absence of such an agreement would be fatal to us. Let all the nations adopt it, a we shall see an end of the world-wide ssion in prices which has followed the dermoaetization of silver in 1873. ‘Our committee will soon be organized, and then we will be heard from, possibly in a memorial to Congress or in international monetary conferences.” +00 The Shakespeare Club.

Sn cil ne DOL Tak ee ee ee A WATER CYCLE, The Craft in Which an Englishman ‘Will Cross the Atlantic. During the present month an attempt will be made by William Oldham, a resident of Nottingham, England, to cross the Atlantic on a water cycle. Oldham is twenty-nine years of age, and @ member of the army re- serve. He served with the colonies for ten years, mostly in India. While in India he studied the art of navi- gation, and got the idea in his head that he would some time endeavor to cross the At- lantic in the smallest boat possible. His craft is of remarkable construction and is the smallest boat that it was ever proposed to use for such an adventurous voyage. It was built entirely by Oldham. Its dimen- sions are ten feet six inches in length,three feet beam and two feet six inches deep, with a draught of twenty inches of water. It is constructed of the best iron. The plates are one-eighth of an inch thick, and these are supported by one and one-quarter inch angle iron ribs. With a view to mak- ing the most of its very limited capacity,the littie vessel's bottom ‘s flat, with a wooden floor over the iron. In it is constructed a small cabin rising nine inches above the deck. It is four feet |_ jong and two feet broad. It has seven win- dows, two in front, one locking each side of ihe mast, two gm cosh cite ide and one at the ry the windows can be opened and are water tight when closed. They are glazed with quarter-inch glass, in pieces four and @ half inches long and three inches deep. At the top of this cabin is a water-tight hatchway sixteen inches square. The boat is provided with a brass screw, worked poe inside by the hands and feet in a similar manner to a bicycle. This mechanism is for use when the weather is too bad to permit the use of sails or when the boat may be becalmed. It is also intended as a form of exercive fox the occupant. The mast and bowsprit are constructed of iron pipe, with steel wire ropes, and there is, of course, a small steering wheel. Noth- ing in the boat is movable. ‘When ready for sea the boat will weigh about fourteen hundred weight. In this ex- traordimary craft Mr. Oldham will leave Nottingham toward the end of May for New York. He expects to reach the latter Place in six weeks. eo —___ All in a Name. From the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph. The N. K. Fairbank Company of Chicago have lately brought suit in the United States court against W. L. Henry of this city, for $5,000 for infringement of their trade mark “Cottoliene.” The N. K. Fair- bank Company sets forth that they origi- nated, prepared, and put upon the market a Pew food product consisting of refined cot- ton seed ofl and a small proportion of beef sust, making a pale yellow material of the corsistency and substance of lard, almost Without odor and intended to take the place of lard in cooking. In order to indicate the source and genu- ireness of their new food product, they originated, coined, and use as a trade mark the word “Cottolene.” The healthfulness ard many other advantages of Cottolene over lard were so apparent that Cottolene became at once very popular and is now largely sold all over the country. The new food product and its name “Cot- tolene” have become =< poe known as the product of The N. Company. The trade mark is asacrtcen as a “trade mark for oleaginous food substances, etc.,” “consisting of a head or neck of a steer or other bovine partially inclosed by sprigs and branches of the cotton i.” The N.:K.
