18 THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1894-TWENTY PAGES. A MISERABLE RECORD This Year’s Local Team the Worst We Ever Had. WON THREE OF TWENTY-ONE GAMES Need for More Strictness on the Part of Umpires. BALE OF THE CLEVELANDS —__+—_- — HERE IS A “HOO- doo” in the Washing- ton club, and a large reward is offered for the lifeless remains of the pesky creature whom “Dame For- tune” persistently re- fuses to smile upon. While Earl Wagner had that black dog tied up in his back yard the Senators were playing winning ball. It appears that the animal was stolen the night the team started for Pittsburg to begin the western @eries, which has just ended with such dis- @ouraging results. While the Senators were away from home they played twenty-one games. Out of that Bumber they brought back but three scalps @angling to their belts when they crept imto the capital city yesterday morning. ‘That ill luck has fastened its clutches upon the local team cannot be successfully de- mied. At least five of the eighteen games they lost were wrestled from them by a Margin of but a single run. Now comes the announcement that “Count” Campau, the much advertised “star” of the Southern League, has pulled up lame. He was ex- pected to jump in and infuse new life and .Nigor into the team, but the “hoodoo” got fm {ts deadly work upon him while he was <= @ Senatorial uniform.

At this point in the conversation Presi- @ent Young took from his book case a of the League Ruies and read rule which applies to coaching. To enable those who are in the darkness on the sub- fect of the coaching rules to secure the Beeded light the rule ts here given: - “The coachers are restricted to coaching the base runner only, and not allowed to eddress any remarks except to the base Funner, and then only in words of neces- direction; and shall not use language which will in any manner reflect upon @ player of the opposing club, the umpire @r the spectators.” How many conachers observe this rule strictly? In almost every league contest the coachers stand upon the lines and shout and yell at the opposing pitcher, tell the Umpire to “get ‘em up,” and resort to all Kinds of the most disgusting personalities feflecting upon players and umpire. In a Majority of instances men are sent into the coaching boxes who cannot use the English language correctly and some of their expressions are not amusing, but thoroughly disgusting to a majority of the Dgople who patropize base bal} + The rule goes on to Say: “And not more than two coachers, who may be one player Participating In the game, and the other Player under contract to it, in the uniform of either club, shall be allowed at any one time.

In proof that Washington is a base ball eity in every sense of the word, nearly 2,000 spectators visited National Park yesterday afternoon to welcome home Schmelz’s “Hard Lucks” after their disastroiis ‘trip.’ The game was an interesting one, and, although Baltimore won, the men from the monu- mental city and algo a large number of Oriole rooters in the.st wel 1 uess- ing until the end of the nine phy ial 2 me A feature of the exhibition was the nag- ging indulged in by both teams, with the evident intention. ef intimidating.

Palmer re- tallated by saying that he had pulled horses again and again in obedience to Daly's or- ders, Palmer, in his early days, was a light-weight jockey for Daly. Daly, as soon as he received notice that the stewards had taken up Palmer's case, paid the boy the $25. He declined to pay it personally, but handed the money to Secretary Sass. THE COMING L. A. MEET. w. Active Preparations for the Trip to Denver, Colo. Railroad matters in the west having as- sumed a more definite shap2, the Denver | wheelmen feel more encouraged and hope that the late strike will not effect their great meet, which is to take place in that city August 13. At one time. they were rather dubious and thought the trouble might cause a slight falling off im member- ship. A large party is expected from Wash- ington and the railroads are making every effort to make the trip from this city a success. Many are pleased with arrange- ments made to take a Pullman or tourist car here and travel to Denver and return without change. They will also have the use of the car for sleeping purposes while in Denver, so that no arrangements will have to be made for rooms at hotels. Din- ing cars will be attached to all tra! and the price of meals reduced, so that this long and interesting trip can be made with com- fort and pleasure. ‘The Chesapeake and Ohio has been named as the official route for the league from this territory, and full information as to rates and arrangements may be obtained from Geo. M. Bond, passenger agent. Non-league members, friends of the wheelmen, are entirely welcome, and will be given the same rate of fare and accom- modation. On Wednesday, July 25, through the courtesy of Proprietor Little, all members of the league are invited to a Marine Band concert and “smoker” at “Casino Park,” Mt. Pleasant. Judging from former occa- sions this will be a great treat. Athletic Notes. The Canterbury Athletic Club have gone into camp at Colonial Beach, and for the next few weeks expect to make things lively, down there. A large number of the club members are along and they have secured a good site, where a half a dozen tents have been Fs ot and gaily decorated with flags and bunting. The club left last Saturday night on the boat and expect to stay three weeks. They are enjoying themselves in numerous ways, swimming, fishing, und do- ing the place. In the evenings they get to- gether and have about as jolly a time any of them could wish. The club is repre- sented by the following members: J. R. Cos- tinett, Jack Horner, M. Wilson, Hardy Wil Jores, Rodgers, Ewald Schneide:, Roth F. Schafer, John Reese, Harington, Mark Maloney, Ed Hagen, Jake Lus' y, Williams, Oppenheimer,John Dough- erty, and others. During the summer the gymnasium of the Y. M. C. A. ts being thoroughly overhauled. New lockers are being put in and the bath- ing facilities are to be improved. Some new appacatus will also be added, and the gym- nasium wil be in spick and span shape by fall. Instructor Sims has been on his vaca- tion through the month of July. _ SAVED BY LAMBS.

INTERESTING NOTES EN ROUTE ————-——— Col. E. J. Johnson, who is commander of a horseback expedition from Mexico to Patagonia, writes as follows to The Star about gome of the interesting things he saw and heard en route: : We arrived at Wingate after the unpleasant journey across the moun- tains of the Navajo reservation, This military post is an oasis in the desert. Here one meets with the com- forts of modern civilization. There are about five hundred men stationed here, one troop of cavalry and a company of Indian infantry, enlisted from the Navajo and Apache tribes. The experiment with In- dians as soldiers has proved a failure, great difficulty being experienced in maintaining discipline among them, the Indian never having been accustomed to restraint. Once an Indian soldier is punished, his term of service is as good as over, for, after brood- ing over his punishment for a short time, he deserts, and once loose in his native moun- ant it 1s next to impossible to recapture On parade he makes an excellent soldier, learning the evolutions quickly and managing his horse with much more skill than his white comrade. He takes great pride in his dress and arms, which are al- ways in a state of perfect cleanliness. They ore always enlisted under American names, the Indian names being found too long for roll call. During our stay at Fort Wingate we met Lieut. Brainard, the sole survivor oy the three men who penetrated to the highest latitude in the arctic circle, viz., 84 deg. 23 min. He seems now little the worse for his great tmals, but informed me that he has never recovered the perfect use of his eyesight, which he lost temporarily on that expedition through snow blindness. After resting here for several days we once more struck into the wild country ly- ing south. For ten days we wended our way up mountain after mountain, but not of the bleak and desolate kind which lie to the north. We looked forward with interest to cur visit to the Zuni Indian town. Among the Zunts. While in the Zuni village we made ‘in- quiry into the customs of these people, and found that their moral condition was worse than the animals that swarm over this sec- tion of country. Their position as a tribe ts pecullar; neither the United States author!-_ ties nor those of New Mexico take the slightest interest3 imithem. They are left entirely upon thelr own resources, to eke out a miserable exfstence within a barren waste by raising: ttle corn and breeding a few goats an eep. Harassed on one side by their er, neighbors, the Nava jos, who steal thefr hprds, and on the ocher by the white who in the name of trade steals thei crpps, they avail, them- selves of the only method of retaliation known to them, and,steal in return. Liv- ing alone among thege people, entirely un- protected, are herelc ladies, who devete their lives to reclaiming them. Finding it impossible to qucceed with the older por- tion of the inhabitants, they have turned their attention to the younger, and great success have they met with. Taking chil- dren at an early age, they educate them, feed them and clothe them, and it was sur- prising to find in this town children of the age of ten to thirteen speaking English per- fectly, and when given a book, able to read @ page without an error. So soon as the girls leave the school, however, they be- come a marketable article, and are sold by their parents, and then their condition. is even worse than the girl who has had ro schooling. During the whole of our journey we have not found one missionary station. A start was made the next morning, and soon we crossed the border of New Mexico and entered Arizona. Our first halt was wade in the little Mormon town of St. Johns. Here we had a fair example of the great industry of this community. In the center of a great tract of barren country they have, by means of Irrigation ditches, succeeded in creating a perfect oasis, some of the ditches bringing the water from a distance of thirty miles. Here they raise all kinds of grain and fruit, for they readily find a market at the military posts of Win- gate and Apache, the cattle ranches also looking to them for grain to feed stock upon during the’ winter. The subject of irrigation is the great question throughout this country, for wherever water can be found the soil will produce any variety of grain or vegetable. With the aid of the government, in the way of appropriations for irrigation purposes, millions of acres of the finest land could be brought under cul- tivation. Rivers should be dammed and receivers made which in the wet season would fill up with a good supply of water. After several days of journeying we reached the White Mountain district, fam- ous on account of the late Apache Indian wars. A change here came over the coun- Instead of desert land, we had to 3 thickly wooded land. Pine and abounds, The open spaces are covered with beautiful grass, on which our stock flourished. Cool streams tore down the mountain sides. When in camp in the evening, guns and fishing rods were brought into play, and trout and quail relished. Only one thing marred our almost perfect happiness, and that was an anticipation. It was the road over the mountains, In the center of these mountains, at the junc- tion of the north and south forks of the White river, is Fort Apache, a paradise, where we were again hospitably received by the officers of the regiment stationed there. From Apache to Fort San Carlo, the Indian agency, the road was the most difficult we had as yet traveled—and by the kindness of the commanding officer at Apache we were accompanied by an Indian scout, a White Mountain Apache, who, in six days, saw us at San Carlos. After a stay of a few days at San Carlos we again proceeded on our journey along the Gila river. In this dis- trict we were informed that rain had not fallen for three years, The Apaches. Before leaving the Apache country we {Pinte it advisable to give in brie a few of the conditlong that We find the Ind'ans of this section living under. The wisdom of the Interlor Department in having appoint- ed a military officer as Indian agent is here demonstrated. The @rst effect has been to create a confidence in the man placed in charge of them. They respect a soldier. They fully appreciate the fact that they can get justice from him, and are consequently much easier to deal with. Under the agent’s instruction are .numerous white farmers, whose sole duty jcongists in instructing the Apache in-farming, and so well have they succeeded that along the Gila river from San Carlos to the border of the reservation fine farms abound, parley being the chief grain grown. It is Bold by the Indians to the government. It is almost incredible that these warlike people, who hardiy three years ago were the terror of the whole ter- ritory of Arizona, could in so short a space of time be brought to the condition of peaceful farmers, but such Is the case. Dur- ing our journey through this country we saw many specimens of their beautiful bas- ket work, some being so finely made as to be able to hold water. The designs on them are in many cases artistic, and had we not known that they were Apache work we might have concluded from the design that they had been made in Egypt. After camping one night at Fort Thomas, an abandoned military post, where a few hundred people exist, sustained by the idea that some day a railroad will be built through the section, we jourricyed on through, a barren country to Grant, the headquar- ters of the first United States regiment of cavalry, In the Valley of Death. Then we plunged into a barren country where the tradition was that grass had once grown, but now not a vestige of it was to be seen. The wells were dry, and the happy possessor of a spring made money by selling-water. Cattle lay dead in sight of one spring, the water too precious for them to drink. A sign to be seen and not to be forgotten was, “Pay for water or don’t water.” The Southern Pacific Railroad Company instructed their agents to charge travelers five cents a glass for water. This valley of death seems to have no ending. Day after day we traveled on. In one portion of ‘it, a pure alkali desert, named Sulphur Spring Valley, we witnessed ® magnificent mir To the south and east lay what seemed to be beautiful lakes, reaching for miles, mountains and trees being distinctly reflected in it. Well might the ae 8 traveler, crazed for want of ‘water, w this retreating lake until he gank Many have died in this valley. One of our found Iman wander- ing along in valley; lost, and famish- ing for water, he became mad. He was brought to a of safety, where he may recover, ‘Tombstone. An appropriate ending to this section of our journey: was the town of Tombstone. Hardly one year ago it was a flourishing Place of 10,000 inhabitants. Now its popu- jation ts about 1,000.

Our stay here was as short as geri! for we expected to be able to make the military post of Huachuca the next evening, where we would be insured of comfort for man and beast, and right glad we were when we arrived there, for it is undoubtedly the most beautiful of west- ern military posts. Fort Huachuca was the only post where we saw negro soldiers, The twenty-fourth irfantry is stationed here. We saw many men there who had re-enlisted two and three times. Huachuca ‘was the last military post on our road to the frontier of Mexico, and consequently we turned our back on it with much re- gret, and after passing some abandoned silver mines, where valuable machinery was going to wreck, we arrived in Nogales, which was really our starting point, having taken six weeks to accomplish a journey from southern Colorado through New Mex- ico and Arizona, three weeks of which be- ing through through a section of country where the famous renegade Apache Indian, ‘The Kid,” is the bogie man of the whites, but without having seen a trace of him. ——_+e2+_____ LET HI Go. — How a Lynching in a Texas Town Was Averted. From the Detroit Free Press. There is @ town in Texas so poor and measly that its own inhabitants stay there only because they are as poor as it is, though, perhaps, not quite as measly, for they are conscious of their condition. What- ever else they are they have a strong sense of state pride, and they will hang a man quick for horse stealing as will the in- bitants of the most flourishing and_rich- est city In the state. Some time ago a stranger In the town was arresied on sus- Picion and held until the recent disap- pearance of two horses could be investigat- .

Excepting the White House, in and about which a large corps of servants are em- ployed, the Cornelius Vanderbilts, in their great New York house, recently enlarged to occupy one*whole side of a city square, require the constant attendance of a iarger number of domestics than any householders in this country. In the winter season, when Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt are at home and entertaining, twenty-two servants sit down to meals in their own commodious, cheerful basement dining room. They live in the house, and in summer are either put on board wages, or, if the Newport establishment is opened, are transferred there, along with some half dozen men from the private stables. These men, who do not live in the house, and who, with the three florists and one plumber, are known as the “outside help” by regular servants, brings the list of wage earners in Mr. Vanderbilt's private employ to the number of thirty-three. fow, there isn’t a housemaid, butler, valet or stable boy who does not feel him or herself in great luck to secure a place with the Vanderbilts. Employment under that roof means handsome wages, the most luxurious living and pleasant work. No- body 13 ever asked to bear more than a just share of the daily labors. On the top floor of the house are the serv- ants’ quarters, There is a nice suite, con sisting of sitting room, and what is known as “the office,” set aside for the housekecp- er, Mrs. Perkins.

Any domestic troubles are laid before her in the office; here the maids re- port to her every morning; here she keeps her books, and once a week has a half- hour’s interview with Mrs. Vanderbiit.

Under her direct control are the two laun- dresses, two Chambermaids, and two parlor maids, who know that they must not only obey Mrs. Perkins, but also have a care for the keen eyes of Mrs. Vanderbilt, who never corrects or forgives twice.
