MARLBOROUGH D" eel6-3t* JUDGMENT AGAINST THE POPE. Italian Court Decides He Must Give Up St. Joachim Church. A special to the New York Journal from Rome yesterday says: The law suit brought by the French Abbe Brougidon against the Pope in the Italian court here for the pos- session of the Church of St. Joachim, has been decided today in favor of the priest, and against the pontiff, who is condemned by the terms of the judgment to surrender the church in question to the abbe and to pay the heavy costs of the legal proceed- ings. It is constdered certain in clerical circles that the pope will, under the cir- cumstances, place the church, which js not yet entirely completed, under interdict und excommunicate thg abbe, who has thus been the means of placing upon his holiness one of the worst slights to which he has been subjected since his eleciton to the tiara. The Church of St. Joachim was destined &S$ a memorial of the jubilee which Pope Leo celebrated a few years ago, since which time the Abbe Brougidon, with the sanction of his holiness, has been collect- ing money throughout the world for the purpose of building this church as a last- ing memorial of the jubilee, and as a pres- ent to the pontiff. Enormous sums have been subscribed by the faithful and placed in the abbe’s hands, who seems to have been singularly unfor- tunate in his management of the affair, for, although a great deal more money bad been collected than was declared by the architects to be necessary for the construc- tion of the edifice, yet the abbe was obliged some months ago io get the pope to ad- vance him a sum of over 1,000,000 francs, in order to prevent the church from being sold by the sheriff for the benefit of the abbe's creditors. Leo, after furnishing this money, intrusted one of the cardinals with the duty of investigating the accounts as well as the financial condition of the en- terprise. ‘The discoveries which his eminence mae were of so startling a nature that the pope at once decided to take the entire affiir out of the abbe’s hands and to intrust the completion of the church to a commission chosen by himself. ‘This commission de- clined to permit the abe to have any fur- ther voice in the management of the mat- ter, and practically turned him out of -he edifice He thereupon showed fight and commenced a sult aguirst the pope, de- mandirg the surrender of the church on the ground that it belonged to him per- sonally and would continue to belong to Eim until he had definitely deeded it to the pe on its completion.

M. Chamberlaine; first vice presi- dent, Michael J. of THE FIELD OF SPORT Manager Hanlon Discusses Rowdyism in Base Ball. INVESTIGATION OF B. J. WEFERS Two Local Basket Ball Organiza- tions. NOTES OF THE PLAYERS Ane Bullnee sou sey ut Manage. Hanlon was interviewed yesterday as re- gards the make-up of the Orioles next season. The Baltimore manager would confess only to a longing for one or two experienced and strong pitchers, “hard campaigners,” as he expressed it. Said he: “The terrible mental and nervous strain, in addition to the great physical strain, upon young pitchers like Corbett and Nops where the championship came down to a single game was simply unbearable. Even an old, cool-headed, strong campaigner like Nichols showed the strain in both games, especially the last, when, if we had only had a man who could have stopped the Bostons for a few innings, he would have collzpsed. No wonder the young pitchers Weakened. But if we had had a man like McMakon, or Rusie, or Meekin, or Taylor we would have won that last game easily.” Althougk Mr. Hanlon will not admit it, it is thought that there may be some few important changes in the personnel of the Orioles next season. While there was no epen rupture, and while the players were on good terms with one another, the team lacKed *that perfect harmony and unity of purpose and method that characterized its work in previous years. The managerial bee has been buzzing, and there 15° no doubt that one or two or more of the play- ers would be glad to go elsewhere. It is likely that if satisfactory exchanges can be made any such player may be al- lowed te go. In fact, if he thought he could strengthen the team, Manager Han- lon would be willing to exchange almost any man in the club if the player were willing to go, which is a big consideration with Mr. Hanlon, wherein he uiffers from many others. Outside of half a dozen or more rows on the bail field, Mr. Hanlon said that he thought the general average of behavior by ball players was better this year than in previous years. The Baltimore team, he thought, had done less kicking than ever and had behaved well, and he thought that most of the teams had. He said that rowdyism on the ball field was largely the fault of the umpires, who allowed the play- ers to go too far. otwithstanding the many false reports about me,” said Mr. Hanlon, “no one 1s More opposed to rowdyism and abuse of umpires than I am and have always been. ! I like to see aggressiveness and to see a player claim a decision if he is entitled to it, but this useless abuse should be stop- ped, and the umpires can stop it if they let it be understood that any man who does it will be immediately fined and put out of the game. In aggravated cases the umpire should send an affidavit reciting the facts to Nick Young, who should have power to suspend the player for a time and prevent his playing. That would stop it. The um Pires could stop it if they only would.” The proposal that no player should be allowed to speak to an umpire at all he declared was “all rot.” “The players are not a lot of dummies, and the public would object to such a foolish rule,” said the Baltimore manager. The present coaching rule is good enough, he thinks, and should not be changed, certainly not with the idea of further Te- stricting legitimate coaching. The public like lively coaching, and it is well that the rule adopted last spring was more liberal than the one first proposed, which allowed only one coacher, and that only when men were on base: BASE BALL NOTES. The Baltimore club at last succeeded in winning a game from the All-Americans at Dayton, Ohio, yesterday, the score being 10 to 1 in its favor. Only 500 spectators wit- nessed the game. Horton and Hastings were the pitchers, the latter doing poor work. When the Clevelands won the Temple cup series, Phil Knell received a full share, over $500, for simply going out on the coaching lines. Joe Sullivan, formerly of the Washing- tons, Philadelphia and St. Louis, is confined to his home in Charlestown, a Boston sub- urb. His case is hopeless, and his death is but a matter of a short time. It is said that old Sam Wise may be signed by Boston as a substitute in case Bob Aller. cannot be secured again. It would probably cause a queer feeling in Sam's breast to egain appear In the city with whose team he was so long connected, and of which be was formerly the star member. ‘or the first time in a number of years the Harvard Base Ball Club of 1898 will take a southern trip, lasting about ten days, during which time the nine will play the Universities of Carolina, Virginia and Georgetown and Johns Hopkins. The trip will be taken Easter week, permission hav- ing been granted by the athletic committee last Friday. A new coach Is to be secured, and the choice will probably fall on Hugh Duffy of the Bostons. Tim Keefe has had the place for a number of years, but the feeling is that a younger and more up-to- date man be secured. ‘TRIAL FOR WEFERS AND COSGROVE. ‘The registration committee and the board of governors of the Amateur Athletic Union have decided that the charges of profes- sionalism made against Wefers and Cos- grove are too serious to allow them to go urnoticed, and the two men are to have a public trial on November 13. A meeting of the governors and two members of the committee was held a few days ago, and this course was agreed on. The evidence against the men is in the possession of Caspar Whitney, a writer on amateur sports. It consists mainly of let- ters written to Harry S. Cornish and tnfor- mation obtained by the Knickerbocker A. director in New England from Dick Rus- sell, a Mr. Dowling and a Mr. Doyle. The charges against Wefers and Cosgrove are of a grave nature, and the trial is sure to attract wide interest in the athletic world. The investigation is the result of cor- respondence between Prestdent McMillan und James A. Aborn of Worcester, Mass., in regard to Wefers’ appearance at that place. The evidence against Cosgrove is a letter written by W. Deyo of Albany to H. S. Cornish. TO PLAY BASKET BALL. of Another League. There will be two basket ball leagues in the city this winter. Last week the Na- tional Basket Ball League was organized with the following clubs, and a schedule was adopted: Carroll Institute, Washington Athletic Club, Corcoran Cadet Corps. Last night another basket ball organi- zation was formed at the Washington Light Infantsy armory. The delegates present were: Washington Light Infantry, J. H. Atchi- son, 8. T. Shreve and 8. Porter- House; Eastern Athletic Club, Ea W. Raab and EA H. ——— — Ne Organization Local men. It was decided to allow the presi- dent the right to select the umpires. Mr. Sydney Beber was the first man chosen by Mr. House to be a member of the staff. The rules that were in vogue last season were adopted. While two delegates are al- lowed each club in the league, they will be given but one vote. A committee of three—E. Raab, E. S. Byrnes and Ed Neu- mcyer—to be assisted by President House, was appointed to look after the schedule ard will hold a special meeting Saturday evening at the armory to consider this matter. The season will in all. probability open the second Wednesday in November. The armory of the Light Infantry will be used for all the games, the delegates deciding that that hall furnished the best and most popular location for the contests. Each club will play two games, and as there ate now five clubs in the league, with a pros- pect of one or two more attaining mem- bership, the season will last for some months. Triple Century Bicycle Record. CHICAGO, October 19.—John A. Hoff- bauer, a nineteen-year-old member of the Lincoln Cycling Club, has completed a 300. mile ride and established a western triple century record. His actual time was 28:00:- 00; his elapsed time, 34:34:00. The mark was set over the Libertyville-Waukegan course. Georgetown University Athletics. The Georgetown University Athletic As- sociation will hold an athletic meet No- vember 6. There will be no scratch events, all being handicaps. All the’ leading col- leges and universities in the eastern states have been invited to send entries. ‘The card of events includes the following: One hundred-yard run, 220-yard run, 440 yards, S80 yards and one-mile runs, 220-yards hur- die, running high jump, running broad jump, pole vault, one and two-mile bicycle races and throwing the discus. Wefers is captain of the Georgetown ‘varsity teams, und if in good shape, can be relicd upon to carry off the sprints. —_s—_.. TRAINED LIBRARIANS, The Demand in America Largely Ex- ceeds the Supply. Assistant Librarian Spofford said today regarding the matter of having a course in colleges and universities in which to train librarians: The question as to the utility or neces- sity of @ division devdted to brary sciences in the program of university education is one which can be settled only by the facts as to public needs in that direction. Now, it 1s undoubtedly true that the demand in this country for skilled librarians has hith- erto exceeded the supply. “Multitudes of libraries, mostly, perhaps, small ones, have sprung up in all parts of the country, and each town opening a pub- lc library of course needed an expert libra- rian to organize and administer it. Hence the demand for librarians, not only for pub- lic free libraries, provided under state laws by local or general taxation, but many theroughly endowed by private lberality, which are becoming increasingly numerous. “Hundreds of such libraries exist, found- ed within the past few years—in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticit, New York and other statcs in the east and wesi. This rapid multiplication of libraries leads naturally to a demand for library education. “This demand has been filled in part by four or five schools of library science—oné in Drexel Institute, Philadelphia; one, in Piatt Institute, brooklyn; one in the state library, Albany, N. Y.; another in Chicago, etc. The establishment of the School of Library Science ia Washington, in Colum- bian University, is in harmony with the idea of turnishing the widest possible cul- ture in every science, which appears to be the of all progressive institutes of 1 ning. that librarianship is a science will net] be doubted by any one having the slightest acquaintance with its rudiments. To be equipped and qualified, to furnish full in- formation on any subject, one must under- go much experimental training, just as one cannot teach what he does not know. “Lhe class formed at Columbian, although as yet small, consists of ladies and genile- men who seek library education of their own volition, and the faculty have simpiy responded to a demand which existed for this class of instruction. ‘The voluntary character of the courses in this university is a praiseworthy arrangement, enabling any student to take an optional course. OUNCE OF PREVENTION. Method for Destroying Germs of ‘Texas Fever in Cattle. Dr. Norgaard, chief of the pathological division, bureau of animal industry, has returned from a trip of inspection of the experiment of “dipping” cattle at the Fort Worth, Texas, stock yards. As on his for- mer visit, Dr. Norgaard was greatly im- Pressed with the successful result of the “dipping,” which, as has been stated in The Star, is for the prevention of the “Texas fever,” so destructive to the cat- tle interests in the scuth. It has been es- timated that if the fever can be prevented, it will make a saving of at least fifteen to twenty millions of dollars annually to the stcck isers. Dr. Norgaard saw several hundred of the cattle driven into the vats of oil-covered water, and found on investigation that the ticks which cause the fever were killed by the operation. The only difficulty encoun- tered is the irritation of the skins of the animals by the use of the oil, but this has no lasting- effect. The paraffin which is used in the water to kill the ticks is now mixed with lard oil, and good results are found to follow from this, being just «s deadly to the pests which infest the ani- mals. . A number of states are now preparing to experiment with the dipping process, hav- ing received such favorable reports in re- gard to the operation.

Spectal, Correspondence of The Evening Star. FAIRFAX C. H., Va., October 18, 1997: J. Hoge Tyler, democratic candidate for governor, was booked for an address here today, but for some reason did not appear. There were, however, plenty of democratic speakers on hand. P. H. McCaull, the Lamb candidate for governor,.was also on the ground, and both wings of the republican party came together in harmony to hear him. Major O. E. Hine, regular republican can- didate for the legislature, made an able address of about half an hour. He vigor- ously attacked the present election law, and promised, if elected, to endeavor to secure a law that would insure fair and honest elections. He then introduced Mc- Caull, who spoke for about two hours and a half in his usual witty and spicy style, treating largely of national, as well as state issues. The first speaker for the democrats was Jos. E. Willard, their candidate in’ this county for the legislature. He said he was not a calamity howler, but charged that the republican administration had failed to furnish its promised prosperity. The in- creased price of wheat was the result of an act of Providence, which had brought illinois and Missouri. In the latter the ex- periments will be conducted under the aus- pices of the state board of agriculture, and in Illinois under those of the state live steck sanitation committee. The quarantine laws passed in regard to the cattle in the southern states are ended November 15, as the cool weather by that Ume is supposed to do away with the ticks, the transferring of which from southern to northern territory causes the infection. They go into force again February 15, but it has been suggested that the date be changed to January 1, as the other is too late. It is probable that legislation will take place in this regard at tne coming session of Congress. ——————— SWAM ACROSS “GOLDEN GATE. John Coughl: Remarkable Feat at San Francinco. John Coughlan, the long-distance swim- mer of the Dolphin Swimming and Boat- ing Club, yesterday accomplished the re- markable feat of crossing the Golden Gate at San Francisco. from Fort Point to Lime Point.

He was followed by Representative Jno. F. Rixey, whose speech was very brief, owing to an affection of the, throat. R. W. Moore charged Major Hine with having endeavored to disfranchise ex-con- federate soldiers when he was a member of the convention which framed the pres- ent stato constitution. Ex-Representative E. B.

The Bride is a Young Japanese Whom He Met in Tokio. A dispatch from London says the partte- ulars obtainable concerning the marriage last Saturday of Sir Edwin Arnold, tiie poet and editor, author of “The Light of Asia,” to a Japanese lady show that the ceremory took place at St. Mathias’ Church, Earls Court, London, in the pres- ence of Sir Edwin's brother, Sir Arthur Arnold, chairman of the London county council; the Japanese minister and their wives. Sir Edwin and Lady Arnold will reside at Bolton Gardens, London. The bride was bypughe from Japan and was educated in England. Her name is rot mentioned. In San Francisco, it is thought that the Japanese lady whom Sir Edwin Arnold married is probably one of two daughters cf a wealthy Tokio family who taught Sir Edwin Japanese, and who in turn were in- structed by him in English. It is to them that he makes allusion in “Japonica.” San Franciscunz who were living in Tokio five years ago, when Sir Edwin was there, de- clared that he was so enamored of every- thing Japanese that he could see no de- fecis tn the moral code of the people, and he adopted Japanese customs in household arrangements, which led to some scandal. It was reported at the time that he would have married one of the Japanese girls who acted as his teacher had it not been for the protests of his daughter. Transfers of Real Estate.

A dispatch from London last night says: The United States monetary commissioners have received no official information re- Barding the action taken by the British cabinet on Saturday last. Private advices, however, convince them that the cabinet has dealt the death blow to their mission. It is expected the commissioners will short- ly be informed that her majest ment regrets being unable to accede to their proposals, but is willing to listen to any other plan they may suggest. But both parties to the conference know that no other practical scheme can be advanced. In the event of the expected reply being received, the United States commissioners will return to the United States. It is learned that the only thing the cabi- net officially discussed in connection with the currency question on Saturday was Sir James Westland’s report. Sir James is head of the financial department of India, and his voluminous report took the strong- est grounds against reopening the mints. The commissioners believe their failure means that no further effort in behalf of bimetallism will be made for many years opposition of the bankers and of the Lon- don Times. Until these forces were aroused all signs pointed to the co-operation of the British government. eee FORCES HIS WAY. COLORED BOY to Get Into Mary- ite, Baltimore. Maryland Institute for Promotion of Me- chanic Arts resulted yesterday in the filing of a suit against the trustees by Robert H. Clark, colored, sixteen years old. Judge Ritchie signed an order citing the institute | to show cause why a mandamus should not | issue compelling its officers to receive Clark as a student of the institution. Under an ordinance »y which the city aids the institute, each member of the first branch of the city council has power to ap- point one student to the institute. Dr. J. M.
