From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The Indians are getting their first real taste of civilization in the reservation in Okiahoma. At the last session of the Ok- lahoma legislature laws were passed for- bidding polygamy among the Indians and requiring all future marriages to be ob- served after the English custom. On last Tuesday Flying Antelope; a young Ara- Pahoe brave, was arrested on the order of Major Woodson and arraigned before the probate court at Watonga for violating this aw. Mrs. Flying Antelope was also ar- raigned for the same offense. Mr. Ante- lope was married a few morths ago ac- cording to the rites and traditions of his people, and refused to be married accord- ing to the customs of the palefaces. Friends tried to persuade him to secure a license und marry according to law, but he de- clared that the customs followed by his ancestors for generations, ever since the first Arapahoe came from the rising sun, were better than the new ways of the white man. Fiying Antelope and his wife were each sentenced to thirty Gays, and they now languish in separate cells in the Watonga ail. Antelope saw the mob take Ben Mor- the negro, out and hang him last fall, and he is in constant fear of a repetition of that kind of work. Charges have been pre- ferred against three other young Indians, who will be arrested this week for vio, lating the marriage law. ———_~+ e+___ Spurious French Coins. From the PhiladoIpbia Record. The police of Paris recently discovered a regularly organized market place for the sale of spurious coins of France. It was xtensively patronized by waiters, who lay in a supply of the false coins to work them off on touris The large stock of false coins seized was found to be of quality su- perior to that generally uttered by coun- terfeiters. The idea seemed to be to safely insure small profits. For instance, a lot of pieces were found to have an al- builion value of three francs each. were sold to the waiter customers for ‘seach, allowing the dishonest er a clear profit of one franc. Few people look closely at a france piece, and a Y bad imitation can be su uily ut- tered in four cases out of five. The Tr almost ith the jus — is the price. A. Ryan & Co., 1238 9th. S.

September 5.— Whent From the Kansas City Star, A sample of wheat was received by a board of trade firm from Kansas a few days ago that was raised in 1886, and has stood in the stack for ten years. It was very choice wheat, tested sixty pounds, was bright and hard and in perfect condi. tion. The owner has stacked up twelve crops in succession, and is only now selling them. He is the owner of a farm rented on shares. The occupant has been paying rent with a part of each year’s crop, and it has stood untouched in the stack. One stack was almost wholly eaten up through the interior by field mice. The farm lies near Peabody. — 2 +—___ “Want” wds. in The Star pay because they bring answers. os) ce] $1.00 HAND-SEWED PROCESS. those doxfing tenn @5.00 To wT 00 3.50 ts sold else- ..

Louisville. 80 1266 The concluding game of the series be- tween the Pittsburgs and Washingtons at National Park yesterday afternoon brought to a sensational finish in the eighth inning when Umpire Kelley called the game with two out, two runs in, a man on third and one run necessary to tie the score. It was a bit of bad judgment on Kelley's part, as a few minutes mote would have decided the game one way or the other and prevented the dissatisfaction expressed by the indignant spectators. After making the decision that it was too dark to play, Umpire Kelley made his way through the crowd in the grand stand to Mr. Wagner's office. Several of the ladies in indignation shook their: fans and para- sols at the poor arbitrator, while some of the sterner sex let loose ejaculations re- garding lynching that were more forcible than elegant. But to say that Kelley was handied roughly or was nearly mobbed is the purest fiction. Washington specta- tors fully understand the difficulties that surround an umpire, and while they were indignant that their club did not have a chance to win out, the idea of assaulting the umpire was remote from their minds. One man walked up to Umpire Kelley as he was entering Mr. Wagner's office, and patting him on the back called him a good boy. Special Officer, O'Day thought it was a case of assault, Mhd came near running in the conscientious spectator. There was considerable disagreement amorg the spectators as to what Umpire Kelley reaily did. Several cf the spectators declared that Kelley had called Reilly out for interfer- ence, and a pretty problem would have come up had he done so. Reilly had scor- ed his run on Selbach’s out, and was out of the play that followed. How a player could interfere with a ball a couple of feet over the catcher’s head is a mystery.Wrig- ley might have been called cut on the technicality, but not Reilly. The umpire could not be seen by a Star reporter last evening. President Young had sent him elsewhere. This morning The Star man saw Catcher McGuire, and Jim says that Kelley called the game on account of darkness, so as to avoid further trouble, as the players of both teams were crowded around him, and all talking at onee. Secretary Robb, who was with Umpire Kelley in Mr. Wagner's office after the game, says that Kelley decided that Wrig- ley was out at the home plate en account of Reilly interfering with Catcher Sugden. President Young said that Kelley called the game on account of darkness and scouted the report that he had called Wrig- ley out on the interference. Mr. Young says that Kelley simply lacks judgment, and in time will do well. The’ president says he sat back of the catcher during the entire game, and that Kelley made very few mistakes on balls and strikes. If Kelley had declared Wrigley out for Reilly’s interference it would have made the third out, and the calling of the game then would have brought the contest to a close in a proper manner. Reilly had scor- ed his run on Selbach’s out, but remained cn the home plate, and as Davis threw the ball home to Sugden, he gave the Pirates’ catcher a push that would have prevented him getting the ball if It had been thrown accurately. “Instead the ball came home very high, but it is a question whether Sugden would not have got the bail at that. It seems to be a foregone conclu- sion that wnenever one of the Senators at- tempt to pull off a trick he is bound to make a mess of it. Several times in the rast this interference dodge has been re- serted to, but g ‘ays at the cost of the home club. Had Reiliy gone to the bench yesterday, Captain Donovan would have had no chance to kick, the mix up at the plate would not haye resulted, and the Senators might have had another victory to their credit. Play the games on their merits, boys, and it will pay you in the end. Umpire Kelley's chief fault is calling balls and strikes. His decisions on the bases were, for the most part, correct, but he lost his head in the eighth, when he called the game. The policeman who escorted Kelley from the groufids to the 7th street cars and then to the 9th street line says that the umpire told him that he had declared Wrigley out for Reilly's interference with Sugden at the home plate, and, that mak- ing the third out, he had declared the game called on account of darkness. Charley Farrell, the Washington catcher, who was in the thick of the fray around the home plate} says that Kelley made the declaration that the game was called on account of darkness, and made no men- tion of Wrigley being declared out.

The Pirates tort off three runs in the first inning. Donovarg reached first on Tucker's error or. DeMont's assist, -Padden went to first on balls and’ Smithy sacrifice moved the runners‘up. a base eavh. Davis’ single scored Donovan and Padden, while the former stole second and scored on Ely's single fo Tight, center. i n the second they scored one more on Tannehill’s single to ete wacrifice by Donovan shoving him to second, from where he scored on Padden’s single to left. Their last two runs canre in the seventn. when after two mén had reached first and second, Sugden soaked a triple to right center, clearing the bases ahead of him. The Senators didn’t do a thing until the third, when they corralled two tallies Selbach heat out a grounder to second and went to third on DeMont’s’ nice two-bag- ger to left. Farrell's grounder was jug- gled by Ely and Selbach scored, DeMont going to third on the error and then home when Gettman’s hit forced Farrell at sec- ond. In the sixth Tommy Tucker made the third run on his drive into the bleachers. The Senators went to the bat in the eighth inning with the score six to three against them. After Tucker had gone out on a fly to right, Reilly sent a nice sin- gle into center, and Wrigley repeated the safe hit business by hammering a clean one into right. McGuire was then sent to the plate in Bresnehan’s place, and was rewarded with a base on balls, the three corners thereby being filled. Selbach then drove a hot one at Padden, who fumbled it, but managed to get it to first ahead of the runner. Meantime Reilly had scored and Wrigley had set sail for the same harbor. Davis then cut loose with the ball to head off Wrigley, but the ball went wild. about three feet over Sugden’s head and the runner scored. Captain Donovan then came running jin from. right field to straighten out the confusion, and see- ing a chance for a protest, claimed that Reilly had interfered with the Pirate's catcher. It was here that Kelly showed poor judgmént. He would not allow the protest against Reillf, but as he was no doubt heartily sick of the continued badger. ing of the players, he suddenly concluded that it was too dark to play, and he called the game. It was -tHen 6:30, two minutes after sunset. It was tough on the Sena- tors, but a life saver for the Pirates. The Sevre, therefore, stands at 6 to 5 in favor of the Pissburgs, as the two runs made by the Senators in the eighth, of course, go to their credit. WASHINGT’ PITTSBURG. RH.O.AE. R.H.O.A.E.

The Louisvilles open up their series tomorrow with the Senators, the game being called at 4 o'clock. The boy that carries the out-of-town scores to the blackboard is a player after applause just as much as the men on the diamond. He usually tells the scores to the spectators as he passes by, but yesterday he kept mum 0. the tenth inning result in Baltimore and ran all the way to the board. It didn’t take a hard guess to tell the re- sult from the boy’s actions. When the fig- tres went up telling of the Browns’ vtetory a great shout came from the spectators. No game was played at Boston yesterday on account of rain, and the postponed con- test will be played off today. St. Louis also has a postponed game with the Balti- mores. Only the fraction of .1 per cent separates the leaders. The catch of Elmer Smith's in left field off of Reilly’s terrific drive was a beauty bright. The big left fielder started after the ball with his back turned and as the sphere was passing over his head he just managed to get his hands on it. The ball struck the outstretched fingers and then bounded into the air about two feet, but Smith was going at such a good gait’ that he caught it on the rebound, completing a Magnificent play. Who says De Mont can’t play second base? He has been in nine games since O'Brien was released, has had fifty-three chances and accepted all but one, a mi: p-ay in his first day in the new position. ‘The little Gascon covers lots of ground and has become a “sure thing” on ground balls. Boston has seventeen more games to play on its home grounds, and the Baltimores twenty, so that there is plenty time yet for either of them to get out of first or even second place. It looks as if the three games in New York and the three games in Baltimore that both clubs have to play will about decide the contest for first place honors. An idea! Pittsburg is called the smoky. city on account ‘cf the many pipe stories that emanate from there. — Cincinnati ‘Times-Star. The New York boys will have six good herd games beginning September 16, three in Boston and three on the polo grounds with Baltimore. = Pittsburg drew 8,048 to three games at Philadelphia. In 1895 29,630 people saw their games, a difference of 21,582, or Fi,232 in cold, hard cash. The claim is made that Sudhoff, the Paducahite, who has pitched fair ball for St. Louis, has a Billy Rhines shoot that is @ puzzler. The most simple game in the world is base ball, when played from a good seat in the grand stand. Some of the most willing critics never take the pains to see a game. Carpenter, the new umpire, is the small- est man that ever held a place on the league's ‘staff. He is about the size of Hugh Nicol. However, he is said to have the nerve and pluck of John L. Sullivan. “If Pickering’s life depended on his suc- cess in an Indian uniform, he couldn't play better ball than he has been doing since he icined our team,” is Tebeau’s tribute to the ex-Colonel. Without Rusie the New Yorks now would be in the second division. And to think that the magnates did all this for the Giants by paying a salary which the New York club should have paid. Pretty easy tor Freedman. Far better lose championships forever than win one with the help of an unfair umpire. Games won with the aid of brow- beating and bulldozing umpires leave a ,bad taste and sooner or later will kill the tity that encourages these methods. This time last year Cleveland was within . points of Cincinnati. The Indians are wuch farther away now, but it behooves the Cincinnatis to get the scum off their optics, or there may be an epidemic of heart disease and sudden deaths among the fans in the forest city, occasioned by excessive joy. Newbern, Ala., comes to the front with the liveliest game of base ball on record. It was played by colored teams, anf at the end of five innings the score stood 5 to 5, three dead, four fatally injured and eleven seriously earved. The national game, kealth-giving and invigorating, must be preserved even at the expense of a few lives. One remarkable feature about the Balti- more-Cincinnati series was that the cham- pions made exactly the same number of runs in the six games in Cincinnati as in the six games played in Baltimore, namely, thirty-seven, and yet they lost every one of the games in Cincinnati and won every one of the games in Baitimore. “Bill” Eagan, the second baseman of the Syracuse Eastern League team, has been sold to the Brooklyn National League team for $500 and Canavan, formerly of Provi- dence. The deal takes effect after the cose of the present season. Horton, ex- Baltimore player, has been signed by the Stars, and will report immediately, A Pittsburg special says: Manager Don- Ovan of the Pittsburg club wires that he has protested yesterday's gume to have a decision on the rule requiring games to be called two hours before sunset. Washing- ton games are called at 4:30, and sunset yesterday was 6:20. Umpire Kelley ‘callea game after six and a-half innings. What a magnificent box office _proposi- tion the Cincinnatis are for the clubs they visit. They just play well enough to make the finest games imaginable. They give Spectators a run for their money, and then wind up by giving their opponents a boost ae championship race after a hard head ish. Arthur Irwin, manager of the Toronto club, was in Boston yesterday. He says that he is the sole owner of the Toronto franchise, having bought out George Wag- ner several months ago. If Mr. Irwin is telling the truth J. Earl Wagner of the Washington club has been jollying the newspaper boys about his interest in the Toronto club, as Irwin says he never had @ cent invested in that club.—Boston Globe. Irwin is doing the jollying. He will own the Torontas, but does not now. Manager Stallings of the Phillies yester- day signed a new infielder. His name is Abbattichio. He the Greenburg club, but he is not responsible for his name, his parents having sprung it on him in early youth. It’s all right, though. You can gamble that Jack Taylor and the rest of the outfit won't risk tubular Paralysis by trying to pronounce it. They'll call him Speghetti for short, and let it Bo at thar. The new umpires are not a bit backward about plastering on fines. They figure that the kickers are trying to dig graves for their own carcasses. “Carpenter,” says Morgan Murphy, “distributed fives and tens the other day like an auctioneer calling off responses to the query, ‘How much am I All the gang thought he was kidding, ae few days later they heard from Uncle The ownership of the New York club, which has been disputed at various times, and has been attributed to everybody of and around Gotham from James Bailey of Barnum & abs i y circus bieeigers is Teter’ settled hon Jast. “is now pretty gene: agreed that An- drew Freedman is the representative of Dick Croker, the Tammany king, just as I intimated in a Sunday ial not long ago.

Their supreme belief in their ability to bat out a victory at any time was the principal cause yes- terday of their sustaining the most un- necessary and humiliating and costly de- feat of the season. With any kind of respectable work at the bat the Baltimores could have won yesterday with ease. But, with careless confidence, they played along until toward the end, and then, when the time came to bat out the victory, they could not hit a little bit, and the Browns, with the aid of some very poor fielding, took the victory y themselves. They gave Baltimore e chance in the world to win. They pre sented the Orioles the tying run in the eighth inning, and then allowed them the ninth inning in which to make the | winning run, but Baltimore refused to take advantage of the chance, so in the tenth, just to end the contest, made the winning run thems It may be that yesterday's gam foolishly and carelessly thrown away be the one game Baltimore win the pennant. But more than the loss | of one game, or the over-confidence that caured it, is the lamentable batting slum into which the Orioles have fallen. W they can make but three runs on Sudhoft what will they do when they have to face Rusie, Meekin, Nichols and Griffith?) The little batting that has been done for some time past has been done by the so-calle weak batters. Come, boys, shake your- selves up and get to business. Bona Outplays Whitman. The final surprise in the national tennis | tournament at Niagara, Ont., came yes- terday, when M. D. Whitman of Harvard was beaten by W. S. Bond, three sets to two.

Yet that is what will probably be done, as it is ciaimed that he has outlived his usefulness. Gregor Nagele was born in Wittenberg, Germany, in 1831, and when in his teens came to Buffalo. Arriving there he found that he had lost his money, but with the sturdiness of his countrymen he came to Ann Arbor afoot. He was immediately en- gaged by the university authcrities, and his chief occupation since then has been to Landle cadavers. When some of the stu- dents went out body snatching, or “pros- Pecting,” as the old man calls it, he would hide the “stiffs” from the authorities. It is often said that if old “Doc” Nagele would tell all he knows haif of the sur- rounding community for a radius of a doz- en miles would be shocked. Indeed, he might tell you that your brother, father or mother, after they were buried, became subjects for the dissecting table in the ana- temical laboratory. In those days subjects for this work could not be easily obtained, but now it is all changed, as according to law all unclaimed bodies in prisons, poor- houses, hospitals, etc., are sent to the uni- versity, where they are pickled, and in due time the means of-making a layman into a doctor. There seems to be a difference of opinion as to whether “Doc” Nagele will be dis- missed from service. | Superintendent itor. Reeves says he will, while Dr. Vaughan says he will not. It is quite probable that he will, however, and that he will be pen- sioned, Take the Peunsylvania Railroad Through to Atlantic City next Saturday and Sunday. Only $2.

From the Sedgwick Panta; iph. There is probably plenty of corn in all the Kansas cornfields this year if the farm- ers only knew where to look for it. A farmer last week turned his hogs into the cornfield because there were no ears on the stalks and he thought the hogs might be able to live in the field. To his great surprise he noted in a few days that his swine were getting sleck and fat. Determined to solve the mystery, he watched the drove and noticed them root- ing around the roots of the hills of corn and erubbing out goods ears, on which they Were fattening. He attributes this strange phenomena to the drought, which has caused the corn to ear out so short that in many fields the ears form underground like peanuts or potatoes. _——— “Want” ads. in The Star pay because they bring auswers. eeecse o S08 Fall Shoe Shoe selling has alreac fondest anticipations. set “better Shoes than we ever The reason is—that we season advances—here are FOR GIRLS, sizes or box calf, with durab!
