There is a fine specimen of the Victoria Regia on exhibition at the green house of the Chevy Chase Land ¢ pany at Chevy Chase. This plant is the only one this side of Philadelphia and is the survivor of sev- eral attempts at its culture in the Dis- trict, three plants of this species having died at the Botanical Gardens within the last year, not having reached the blooming stage.

Se Something About til Plans of the Origi- nator, Players. to Recetye yOne-¥o: rt) Profite—No War on the League Inténitea, > None of the statements regarding the Projected National Ball Association have been accurate fm all thelr detalls. It is not designed to war dn the National Base Ball League. Contracts will be respected and games will not be played so as to con- flict with league games. This was the great mistake made by the Players’ League in 1890 and was the principal cause of the failure of that organization. There was no falling off in interest that year, for the rec- ords show that more people attended the base ball games that year than the year before. The new association people believe that there is room for two base ball associ- ations, just as there Is room for two the- aters in such citiés as are in the big league. A Star reporter was informed some time ago by one who fs interested in the new association regarding the plans, In the east Boston will be dropped. The eastern cities will be New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and perhaps Washington. ‘The western circuit will be Pittsburg, Chicago, Milwau- kee and either Cincinnati or St. Louis. From this it can be seen in what an un- finished condition the plans of iae managers are. Many statements were printed making guesses at what was intended, but these were allowed to go unchallenged in order, Probably, to mystify the league officials. But the recent premature publication of part of the association's plans has iet the cat out of the bag. it is claimed that ample capital will be behind the new organization. HM. Db. Quinn, owner of Athletic Park, Milwaukee, is at the head of the association club in that city, It is asserted that a millionaire ts be- hind the Chicago club, and another (not Al. Johnson) behind the New York club. The Philadelphia league club officials are not unfriendly to the new association, while the Philadelphia newspapers all welcome a sec- ond base ball organization, provided it does not wage war on the National League, As already stated, this is not intended. In this city things are sull in an uncer- tain state. A number of gentiemen interest- ed in base ball have been discussing the matter, considering the matter of grounds, ascertaining what support the street car lines would give and going over the list of eligible players. After the meeting in Phila- delphia this week affairs will be more de- fined. 4 The Boston club will be taken bodily to New York city, and it is expected to be a big card. Although the New Yorks beat out the Bostons in the league race, it is generatly recognized that the Boston play- ers were disgruntled the whole season and did not put much heart in their work. Few doubt that they could defeat both the New YorR and Baltimore clubs in a series of games. The Bostons are pleased with the idea of the tfansfer, and they are ex- pected to play crack ball, When the New rk league club is in the west the New York association club will be at home, and vice verna. : As it is, under the present system, New York base ball patrohy are without base ball just half the season. The case is the same in every leagu@ ‘city. What the asso- ciation proposes is ‘to occupy these open dates. They hold that the league would be a dog in the manger to object to any one filling these dates. ‘If war in base ball comes, it must come frojn the league, they say. They will respect the leagues legal rights, and will benefit only from that patronage which the league cannot possibly enj e instance, the local base ball cranks get “base ball hungry” here in the summer when the nine ts away on its trip. A first- ch club playing chere in the interium would be bi ed by the Washington fans, Then, too, greater interest would be aroused by the relative merits of the two, the asso- tion people say... ParUsans of each would arise as in the old days of the Creightons. There would be, say the association pro- jectors, a heaithy rivalry, an open competi- tion, but not war, It is not intended to “bull* base ball sal- aries. This iv a sort of war that Is wasting to those who hold the purse strings, the association men acknowledge. Players will be signed at their last year’s salary, but they willl be given an inducement to be faithful to the organization by the promise of one-fourth of the profits. It will not be a co-operative affair, where the workers must stand the losses if there are any. The players are sure of their pay in any case, but if they make money they will get some of that. The Boston players have already signed with the new organization, having person- al contracts. Considerable consternation was caused in Boston recently when they rejected Manager Selee’s pleas for their autographs, At that time they were under sontract to the association. It is proposed, though not settled, to drop che name of the city in which a club is lo- cated and give It a distinctive sobriquet. For instance, the Washingtons may be known as the, N:tiprals, the Phillies as Athletics, the Brooklyns as Atlantics, the New Yorks a# ‘Metrapolitans, and so on. Around these names cluster recollections which endear them to all lovers of the na- tional game. The greatest contests were waged under these titles. Then, too, it will have the advantage of not being confusing, as the use of one title by two clubs was in the brotherhood year, compelling one to specify “league” or “brotherhood” in re- ferring to a club. The olive branch is the new league's symbol. Pfeffer Talks of the Association. A Pittsburg special says: “In a letter to a Pittsburg friend, Fred Pfeffer, the sec- ond baseman, says that he will not only manage the Chicago National Association Club, but that the members of the present and National League Club will rep- resent Chicago in the association. Pfeffer is outspoken in the assertion that the en- tire Boston team has been captured by the league rival. He also says the New York club cannot begin to pay Pitcher Rusle the y the Chicago Association Club will er him. it is ext go to Chic the Cleveland club wi AMONG THE COLUMBIAS, Gossip of the Wearers of the Winged we President Alex. Grant of the Columbia Athletic Club has reorganized the amus: ment committee. It comprises those who have jong paid attention to the theater and things pertaining thereto, and nearly all are in touch with the entertainers of the city, Alex.

An effort will be made, though, to have at least one or two professionals in the house every Saturday. Those connected with the various theaters and who have the enjoyment of the club boys at heart have signified their intention ‘ork for this end. Samson, the strong . is a ten-day guest of the club now. Sandow was a pupil of his, it is said. Arrangements are being made by the amusement committee for the securing of a date at one of the first-class theaters for the proposed December public athletic exhibi- tion and entertainment, A minstrel show of den thne Will be one of the features, elb’s principal exponents of wit, laugh: ter and originality appearing in burnt cork. Bert Rildle has promised to hustle for its guccess, and Hub Smith has said he will write a sketch. The Columbia Athletic Club, owing to its size. no doubt, contains more talent than any similar organization in the District. There are among the members artists, ex- actors, singers, violinists, pianists, bamjo- ists, players of the mandolin and the zither, recitationists, com, writers, ath- letes, literary men, excellent story tellers, splendid politictan: ro %, representatives of the scores, All yers, ysicians and mercantile life In spirits. The usual “ian given ‘his winter, They have proven so popular that a discontinuance would cause a stren- uous protest to be sent up by the club's fair tyneth th m recep- ether there will be any night tl though, is a question yet to be de termined. There has alw: some op- position to these events, and it {s said that of late it has grown instead of decreased. Among the Visitors of the club last week were arlie Goodthunder, Clark Spotted Bull and Napoleon Wabasha, Indians and sons of chiefs. They ie here as repre- sentatives from Minnesota to the Brother- hood of St. Andrew ccavention. All were well educated, Napoleon rs orgs excep- tionally good English, as also did Charlie. All were beautiful penmen. One of the vis- itors became ureasy when he found himself in the midst of a crowd, and fell off into a quiet corner, where he sat the remainder of the evening. The red men came up with Mr. Yundt, father of the violinist of the Tuxedo Musical Quartet, whose members last winter were such favorites of the club during their stay in Washington. The Tux- edos are now touring New York state. Mr. Yundt represented a Kentucky branch of the brotherhood, Big, jolly Bert Riddle has taught the club singers a new song. He caught it way out in the far west, while on a theatrical tour. The chorus, when led by Bert, has an al- ternate suddenness, and that enthuses both singers and hearers. It runs lke this: Re upright and honest, Fearless and bold, Re-mem-ber that henor is p-u~ gold! You may not be a hero, But when you come back— Y-o-u-r m-o-t-h-e-r will be proud of y-o-u, Her—own—boy—Jack! ! The words of the first, second and fourth lines are sung with abruptness, being jerked out and beheaded almost before they are born, while those of the third and sixth are prolonged till the breath is exhausted. The tenor gets 1 on the sixth line, carrying the last word skyward. The seventh is bitten off with a suddenness and thrown away In chunks, until “Jack” is reached, when there is a grand, united and forcible outburst that 1s cut Into just as tt begins to swell to co- lossal proportions. “My girl's a corker, She's a New Yorker,” etc., is another song that has caught the boys. it’s from Pittsburg, they say.

W., WAR ON VOLUNTEER GARBAG 2 ME Countrymen Prosecuted for Not © plying With Regulations. Garbage Inspector Howe is making war on the countrymen who are hauling gar- bage from the city to their homes in ve- hicles of a character not approved by the health officer, and also for hauling the gar- bage without a permit. Several arrests have been made during the past few days, and Judge Kimball disposed of them today by imposing fines. One of the defendants, @ colored man, from Anacostia, named Richard L, Berry, has been hauling gambage from ex-Commissioner M. M. Parker's house for two years, and he thought he would not have to have a permit. Some time ago he was arrested for keeping hogs in Anacostia and compelled to get rid of them. His ex- cuse today was that he carried out a small quantity of garbage for his chickens. After his arrest he got a permit, but this permit did not cover the work he was really doing. Judge Kimball, during the course of the hearing, said he thought the country people should be encouraged in this business of collecting garbage, for it will sulve the gar- bage problem to some extent. “Only @ short while ago,” the judge re- marked, “I had occasion to go down the river, and just across the District line I saw @ big scow, filled with decaying vegetable matter, anchored between the channel and the shore. If these country people will car- Ty away the garbage it will be much better than hauling it In open scows and then anchoring the scow off the bank of the river and have the foul odor permeate the surrounding country.” In conclusion, the judge told the defend- ants that they must comply with the law if they wanted to keep out of trouble. —__—- FIRE AT THE BELVEDERE.

An alarm of fire was sounded, and the fire ccmpanies reached the scene of the conflagration before the flames had made much headway. Mr. James do not “catch cold” if we are in good condi- tion.
