They are doing it because the latest man- dates from the powers of fashion indl- wate that ehirt waists and separa te skirts will be fashionable all through Octo- ber. and be- canse it is more than likely that the same styles which raled this season will be in vogue next season. Hundreds of women are hastening to take advantage of McKnew’s Mberal offer to sell all of his finest lapjet and lawn waists at half price. I know several ladies who purchased as high as a doaen cach at one visit. Being very well ac- quainted with the proprietor, Mr. Wa. H. McKnew, I asked bim if he really meant that we should be- lieve that he intended to snerifice his shirt waists at a bona fide reduction of half. “Most assured- ly,” he said. “I have sold thousands of waists at a good profit, and I can well afford to dispose of the several hundred remaining at a big loss in eder to clear up the stock and make room for fall and winter creations. “The waist you are now wearing cost you $4 in June—here it is now for $2—exactly half price— and you can buy any colored lawn or Iappet lawn shirt waist In the house at the same proportionate reduction.”” ‘This brings the cost of McKnew's finest and most elegant creations down to actually less than cost of waterials, and it is not hard to understand why so may women are buying his shirt waists so fre FASHION WRITER. ATTEMPT HIGHWAY ROBBERY, Michael Cudmore and Andrew Lynch Held for the Offense. Michael Cudmore and Andrew Lynch were today held by Judge Mills in $600 each for a trial before a jury on the charge of attempted highway robbery last mght on the Bladensburg road. The arrests were made by Poiicemen Flather, Rodgers and O'Dea, whose state- ment was that about 10 o'clock Sunday night word was received at the ninth pre- cinet station that a highway robbery had been attempted on the turnpike near Lang- don. Mounting bicycles, they hastened out the road about a mile, and there met J. W. Brooke and James O'Grady, both of whoin, it was stated, had been held up, as alleged, by Cudmore and Lynch. . Mr. Brooke, who is a merchant on Penn- sylvania avenue, stated that while cut driving with his’ wife and two children he Was stopped b a gang of five men, but pe by whipping up iis Mr. O'Grady said that he w = on foot from Langdon, whe h en to collect some money, wh also met a gang of five men, whom he }; posed to be tramps.

THE FOUNDLING HOSPITAL, Report of the Operations of the In- stitution During Last Yea A report of the president of the Wash- ington Hospital for Foundlings has been transmitted to Secretary Bliss of the In- terior Department by Secretary Louise M. Smithe of the institution. ‘The report for the fiscal year ending June 20. number of infants adopted during was 17, and that of deaths 40. average was 30 during the year. The larg- ¢st number of deaths occurred in Septem- ber, when there were eight, the largest number resulting from marasmus exhaus- tion, and were in a dying condition when received. Under one month there were 4, under two months 16, under three months 6, under four months 6, under five months 1, under six months 1, under nine months 1, under twelve months 2 and under eigh- teen months The statement of receipts was as follows: Dues and contributions, $1000.43; entertain- | ments, $213; United States appropriation | for year ending June 20, 1897, $6,000, mak- ing a total of $7,456.86.

Owing to the large number of children received during the year and the expense necessary for their maintenance, the re- port says, the directors feel compelled to ask that the appropriation of $6,000 be con- tinued for 1898 and 1899. The officials of the hospital are: Z. T. Sowers, president; Mrs. H. M. Hutchinson, vice president; Mrs. J. C. Smithe, secre- tary; W. F. Mattingly, treasurer. The directors are: Z. T. Sowers, W. F.

Many of Mr. Young's personal friends were aware that he has contemplated this move for some time, and it is believed the um- pire question in the National League has precipitated the president’s action. It has been only within the last two years that the magnates have made Mr. Young's posi- tion unassailable and pecuniarily gratify- ing. Since he has been made president-sec- retary-treasurer of the National League the duties pertaining thereto have multi- plied each yeu until it has been found necessary by Mr. Young that his entire at- tention should be given them. Recently it has been the pleasure of several mis- guided and hard headed magnates to refer to the government position held by Mr. Young in very s: ie terms, and per- haps these references, more than anything e have brought about the resignation. Base ball has grown to such gigantic pro- portions that Mr. Young will sind little (rou- ble in keeping employed, and from the pres- ent outlook the impending crisis on the um- pire question will for the p t suffice. Mr. Young was asked this morning if he had decided on any pla: s to his future movements, and he assured The porter that h2 had not. Mr. Your said: “I can find plenty of work right here at home for many weeks and months to come. Of course, I will do consilerable mov ing about until the season closés, keeping an eye on the umpires and players as well. But everbody knews my opinion on the umpire question. My staff is a strong one, has done good work this season, but the ible is that the players and certain man- their work at every oppor- and, of course, under the circum r work 1s handicapp ng officer of the big k ve the opportunity n ter of giving his colleagues g to on the umpire quest make it a strong one. is done to che ue Mr. xt win. good talking | and he should Unless something k the onslaughts of the row- | tute the up of the more club the national game will be ly injured. ‘The Orioles have made n object to at he umpire at ever ortunity and suece boldened ny other clubs With one club winning games by continual nagging at the umpire not d other ¢ ploy . Other clubs are just as anxious to win the pennant as the [alti- mores, and it is almost the universal opin- ion outside of the oys ty ib timores would not come one-two- three this seuson, or for the matter of that, any other season, had they played legiti- mate ball and left the umpire alone. ‘The only remedy in sight is for the magnates to abo z altogether the com- ing season. 1 deaden the game, of course, extent, but it won't kill it off pear bent The Senators at Home Again. The senatorial aggregation arri A home from Brooklyn yesterday, and open today °s of three games with the Phillies at National Park, and then three games with the Brooklyns follow. It is almost a waste of paper to criticise the playing of the Senators at this late day. Manager Wagner and Captain Brown have collapsed into such a state of disgust that words are lack to give expression thereto. It has taken some time to find out that several of the Senators are headless, and, what is worse still, record pl. Many local en- thus) ts cry out, ‘Trade them off for other pla but the hard problem con- fronts Mr. Wagner of inducing any one to take them. Money alone will hardly se- cure players this time of the year, and we have no players to offer in exchange that any one wants. That is really the. situa- tion in a nutshell. Suppose Mr. Wagner should go to the St. Paul management and offer $1,500 for Me- Bride, the hard-hitting outfielder, all a minor leaguer is really worth. The St. Paul people would probably say that they are willing to sell, as they are in the busi- ness for that purpose, but that their club is playing well, and they must have a man to take McBride's place who will satisfy their patrons. There's the rub. The St. Paul people know the Washington players as well as the Washington people know the St. Paul players, and gold bricks cannot be palmed off on them. To take a good man off of a minor league club at this time of the year would be almost suicidal for that club. The pecuniary part of the game must be kept in the background, or the people will take flight. From a ¢on- servative point of view it would appear thet ghout pv Mr. Wagver can do 1s to take £ {tip through the west, single out the players he believes possess the required ability to stay in the big league, make a present tactics ap- TFashagas seco tage age anscrge eros rs August== The month of preparation.

The statist of Towdyism on the base ball field this season_show a very discredit- able state of affairs. The players in the National League. appear more like rowdies, pvgilistic and foul-mouthed, than ball play- ers among whom a)carefully made set of rules might be expected to insure perfect order and decency of behavior. We beileve that, as between the miscon- duct of the players and that of the crowds seeing the game in the vartous cities, the players have been the cause. The Ameri- can crowd is proberbially :fair and orderlv, and, if it is otherwise about the ball field, it is because of the frequent breaches of discipline and good manners on the part of the players themselves. And all this rowdyism is useless. The rule of the game forbids an umpire to re- verse his decision, and yet the captains and other members of their clubs regularly de- mand of the umpire, always with abuse and sometimes with threats, to violate the rule, Of course the responsibility for this lies with the owners of the clubs, and not with the players. Let the owners pogitively for- bid these bratal interferences with the game and its discipjine, and the sport will get back the good repute which it has lost. Make the umpire like the man at the wheel. No talking to him. - THE SAME OLD story. The Senators Again Defeated by the Brooklyns. It was the same old story at Brooklyn Saturday. ‘The Senators played. wretched ball and the Bridegrooms won easily by the score of 9 to 1. On account of King’s illness, Mercer had to be used the second time in Brooklyn, but strange to say his work was very good in the face of dis- heartening support. Payne did the twirl- ing for the Trolley Dodgers and kept the hits of the visiting team so scattered that it looked at one time as if they could not get a man nearer home than second base. But in the fourth inning this happy re- sult was accomplished, one run bdeing scored, and then the Senators conciuded they had performed their day’s work and quit, blanks coming their way for the re- mainder of the game. With che Brooklyns it was quite different. Very little cherry pie has come their way this season, and knowing a good thing when they sce it contirued aibbling at it until they had ac- complished the wonderful feat to them of Pi ig up nine run: nd winning their third consecutive game. The game in its en- tirety, from a Washington st andpoint, can be described as a psrody on base ball, and not worthy of the players that represent the national capital.

I'll admit that the schedule should be changed so that the western clubs would get a chance to finish on their own grounds once in a while. Turn about is fair pla: It has leaked out that when the New Yerk club and the Loulsville club got their heads together to make that trade of Mc- Creery for Clark, Mose Freedman com- pelled President Pulliam to sign an agree- ment that in the event of Clark going to Louisville he would not be transferred or traded to Cincinnati. Anything bearing the name of Cincinnati is despised by Mose. He is afraid that if any of his cast-offs come here, where they receive good treat- ment, they may come to life again, as was the case with Burke and Beckley. Mose didn’t want to take 4 chance of showing his ignorance regarding players, so he had Pulliam sign that agreement.—Cincin- nati Enquirer.

Balk Line ran Henry Launt to a nose on the post in the third race, and was after- ward claimed by J. H. Smith, whose horse Elkin finished third. Balk Line was bid in for $500. As a result of a quarrel between Starter Brown and Romeo Respees, Newport came near losing the services of the formes. Respees claimed his horses were not being located fairly at the post. Brown tendered his resignation, but the directors refused to accept it. The judges ordered Respees to apologize for his language toward Starter Brown. The racing Saturday was very ex- ¢iting.

Bertha Utiger, Katie hooi Girl, Bob White and URPRISES AT COLUMBUS. Two Races Require Six Heats Each to Decide. The grand circuit meeting closed Satur- day afternoon at the Columbus Driving Park. There were surprises galore. The 08 pace was the big race, there being eieven starters. In the pools Heir-at-Law sold favorite, while Frank Bogash brought 80, Planet 60, Directly 10, Spinxetia 5. Aileen, a mare that had not raced for more than a year, having gone lame, won the first heat in easy style, while Rogash nar- rowly escaped the distance flag, and Planet trailed in in ninth place. Bogash wen tne second and third heats in fast time. In the fourth heat Directly carried Bogash to the half mile in 1.01 1-4. This pace proved too hot for Bogash, and he could not finish better than third, under the whip, while Planet, who had not previously finished better than seventh, took the heat in 2.05 1-4. Planet won the last two heats and the race wjth ease. Previous to the race Bogash, who was owned by Frank gash of Fort Wayne, was sold to Geo. Vandyke of Canyon, Mon., for $5,000. In ‘the 2.14 trot Oakland Baron was al- most a prohibitive favorite. He won the first two heats, being compelled to clip a second and a half off his record in the sec- ond. As it was evident Ruby was not driven out, Crane, her driver, was fined $100. After the decision of the judges Col.
