Merder had only one hit, but it was a beauty. It wouldn't be a bad tgga for the Senators to transfer the entire wester les sched- uled for National Park. The club toyld then remain in the west and save a few dclars. Arthur Irwin will manage the Senators next Season. Stick a pin here. President Young says he will not ap- pcint any one to take Snyder’s place on the staff of umpires. Emslie will work alone for the remainder of the season, and about $250 will be saved by the league. Boston has had more hard luck. Yeager was injured yesterday at Chicago, and with Tenney still out of the game the club looks to be In bad shape. “Boston and Baltimore, one and two. That's my forecast. Pin this in your hat and come around on the 15th of October and tell me how I stand as a prophet,” says Earl Wagner.—Washington Post. J. Earl had the Baltimores {n fifth and Wash- -gton in fourth place last June. With a little good playing and luck the Cincinnatis will have an excellent chance to again forge to the front In the next few weeks. They have nineteen games to play in a stretch in their own grounds before they leave on a trip. Boston, in the mean- time, will be battling against Chicago, Cieveland and Pittsburg. If the members of the board of directors wko handed down that famous decision in the Holmes case could hear the players discussing their intelligence they would probably wear ear muffs thereafter. The players condemn the board of directors, and they do not always use the choicest phrases in so doing. The National League evidently intends to Isten to the general demand for justice tor “Ducky” Holmes, the Baltimore player who was suspended for the rest of the sea- son as punishment for his share in the recent row at the Polo grounds, New York. President Ebbets of the Brooklyn club last night telegraphed to N. H. Young request- ing him to reopen the case. am not a member of the board of directors,” said Mr. Ebbets, “bat as a club president I believe I have the right to make the demand.” President Harry Pulliam of Louisville is the only member of the board of “hlund- ers” who so far has shouldered his share of the responsibility for the Holmes de- cision, which he did in an interview here yesterday. Manager Watkins took the trouble to wire Mr. Hanlon to meet him 80 that he might inform the Baltimore mana- ger how to evade the board’s decision, and he lays the blame for the decision else- where. It is understood also that Wagner of Washington let it be known that he advised Baltimore to go right ahead and play Holmes. Manager Ewing received a telegram from President Brush today in- structing him not to protest any games vecause of Holmes playing on the Balti- more team. The players are all well and eager to tackle the Reds.—Cincinnati En- quirer. ARBITRATORS DID NOT MEET. Directors Will Be Requested to Re- verse Decision in Holmes: Case. The board of arbitration of the National League did not meet at New York yester- day. President N. E. Young is ill and sent his son, Robert Young, secretary of the board, to act in his place. Of those In- terested only F. DeH. Robison of the Cleve- land club was present, and he and Mr. Young talked the situation over. Mr. Rob- ison said he was empowered to act for A. H. Soden of Boston and J. T. Brush of Cincinnati. It was decided to send a dispatch to the various members of the board of directors of the league asking them to reconsider thetr decision in the New York-Baltimore case in regard to the suspension of Holmes, and it was thought wiser to allow Mr. Young, president of the league, to cast a single vote for the board. Mr. Robison said that the board, in the opinion of nearly every one in base ball, had done wrong in susperding Holmes, who had a right to be officially accused and then tried. The board ought to with- draw its charge, and if It then chose to begin an action against Holmes it could do so. He said that the matter must be decided quickly. He said that the board of arbitration will not meet because it is positive that the board of directors will reconsider its action, If the New York club then chooses to make a complaint against Holmes it can do so. The other part of the decision, he sald, Was not unconstitutional, but he thought the fine of $1,000 on the New York club too big. He said that Mr. Brush and Mr. Soden, as well as the rest Ofthe base ball fraternity, considered the suspension of Holmes without a hearing unconstitutional, and there is no doubt that the board of directors would reconsider. GOING WEST. Three Tail-End Clubs Made the Trip Together. Between sixty and seventy National League base ball players were in Cincin- natt yesterday. Including the Reds, four National League teams took supper in the queen city of the west. On the Baltimore and Ohio fast express bound for the west were the three tatfl- enders of the league—the Louisvilles, Wash- ingtons and St. Louis Browns. Each team had its own special car, and Tim Hurst, the manager of the St. Louis Rough Riders, smiled all over when he made reference to the fact that the position of the three sleepers on the train was a good tip on the Positions the teams would occupy at the end of the season. The Washingtons had their sleeper at the end of the train, the Louisvilles had the next sleeper and the Browns were in front of the Colonels. “It's a cinch now that we will be as good as tenth,” said Sir Timothy. “We have had two of them behind us all night and day, and we'll have the same pair behind us at the finish. We came within an ace of hav- ing the Brooklyns with us. What a lovely package of hard-luck stories an enterpris- ing scribe could have gathered from that crewd of tail-enders.’"—Cincinnati Enquirer. TITUS AND STARBUCK. Their Race the Feature of the Meet- ing Tonight. . The entries to the fifteenth race meet of the season, held under the auspices of the Park Bicycle Club, closed last evening. The races will commence this evening at 8:30 o'clock and will be run off at the board track. Representative local riders have entered and some good racing ought to re- sult. There are four races on the program, which will result in six or seven ‘events, depending entirely on the length of the tandem heats. The only amateur event on the program will be a five-mite handicap. ‘There are otis no n fe events on the cart, The Meardae-to this to the tandem race, which requires two men to enter in order to be eligible. ‘The feature of the evening is the match fore 2 o'clock this afternoon from Phila- delphia, while “Titus arrived nearly the same time, coming over.fgm Baltimore. This is Starbuck's firs! to thig city. He is the only. Philad rider.of note who has not before raced in the District. Titus has been in the city_three or four times before and is well known. According to the rales of the race, the men will start from opppsite sides of the track, and the ride wili(tontinue until one of the riders overtakes the other.” A purse of $100 will be given to the winner, and also an a ditional. pur! amount pre- viously agreed upon, as}. sfecial prize, in case the five-mile mnt xhibition rec- ord is broken. The time fo this record is held by Titus, at 11.05. He also holds the flve-mile unpaced compptitton record, at 11.32, and the ten-mile unpgced exhibition record, at 23.00 flat. ‘The tandem race, whichis entered by a. number of teams, will be run in mile heats, the first team winning two heats to be de- clared the winner of the race. Titus and Starbuck are expected to form a team and enter, while the Turville brothers will come down from Philadelphia to ride. Both of these teams are anxiou8 to defeat the Sims brothers, especially the latter team, which comes to Washington with the ex- pressed jntention of beating Fred and Bille Sims. It might be stated that this is the first time the Sims boys have ridden as a tandem team in this city, In Phila- de!phia they are well kmown and have -de- feated thiséyear some of the crack tandem teams of the country. HE. L. Wilson and Bobbie Walthour will ride together as a team for the first time, and sométhing is expected of them. In the five-mile amateur handicap there are fifteen entries, with the possibility of several more before the race tonight. In this event some good time and nice racing is expected. E. L. Wilson, paced by trip- lets, will go against the five-mile track record. The officials of the meet will be as fol- Referee, Mortimer Redman; judges, Suuster, L. B. Graves, W. J.

Howell, who won the Diamond sculls at the Henley regatta In England this year, arrived in New York on the Teu- tonic yesterday. Mr. Howell has just com- pleted his course at Trinity Hall, Cam- bridge. Mr. Howell, according to the New York Tribune, is a bronzed, athletic-looking young man, cver six feet high, though of rather slight build for a champion oars- man. Few would take either himself or his brother for an American. They have both Hved in England for several years, and in speech and dress appear like other young English ‘varsity men. Howell be- came an undergraduate at Cambridge in October, 1894, and almost immediately gained a reputation as an oarsman. He rowed in his college’s first boat which had the first place on the Cam in 1894. In the following year he was one of the crew which beat Cornell at Henley for the grand challenge cup, and also rowed for Cam- bridge in the inter-'varsity race. Last year he represented Trinity Hall in the contést for the Diamond sculls, but was beaten by ‘Ten Eyck. In the same year he finished second for the Wingfield cup. This year Mr. Howell won both the Dia- mond Sculls and the Wingfield cup. He broke the records in both contests. For the Diamond sculls he covered the distance in eight minutes twenty-nine seconds, six seconds less than the best’ previous record, that of Ten Eyck. In the contest for the Wingfield cup he beat the record by thirty- three seconds. In the first heat for the Diamond sculls Mr. Howell beat Everitt of the London Rowing Club. In the second heat he beat Stout of the London Rowing Club, and in the third heat he beat the well-known Blackstaffe of the Vesta Row- ing Club. Mr. Howell refused to say anything about the question of the barring out of Ten Eyck by the Henley committee this year. Mr. Howell's brother, who arrived with him yesterday, and who, has,just been en- tered as an undergraduate at Cambridge, hinted, however, that it“waS possible that the criticlsms which have #een made in this country about the committee’s action had been justified. It is certain, judging from what he said, that there is not much difference of opinion in England as to Ten Byck's right to row in amateur races. RACE YACHT ORDERED. Duke of Abruzzi Orders Qne for Trial Spins With the Shamrock. LONDON, August 25./The Duke of Ab- ruzzi, nephew of King Hunvbert of Italy and an officer in the Ttallan nivy, has com- missioned Mr. G.

FROM CAMP 70 HOSTILE COUNTRY Robert Smith Tells Story of Voy- age and Conquest. CAPTURE OF LADRONES Mr. Robert Emmett Smith of 3007 P street, a survivor of the late war, a mem- ber of the Grand Army of the Republic and formerly a Heutenant in the Old Guard, has received a letter from his son, Robert Smith, who is now at Manila, in the Philip- pine Islands, as.a member of the 1st Oregon Volunteers. The letter is, in part, as fol- lows: “We arrived here after an eventful voy- age of thirty-five days from San Francisco, Cal., at 5 o'clock in the afternoon of June 30. We came into the harbor amid the deafening salutes from Dewey’s fleet, and the whistling of all the other crafts in the water. “The Baltimore and Charleston were in the lead, and our three transports—the City of Pekin, the Australia and the City of Sydney—with 2,500 volunteers on board, bringing up the rear. “At the Ladrone Islands we captured all there was in sight so far as soldiers were concerned. At the island and near where the Charleston blew up the fort I got two fine sea shells and a small plece of the fort. “Dewey has us between three battle ships toright—the Olympic, the Raleigh and the Baltimore. The bay is alive with the fleet and coaling vessels. Every few minutes they threw the searchliehts on all of the ships, and it is truly a picturesque sight. “We ere at Cavite tonight and expect to go into camp at the Cavite barracks tomor- row. fn three days more the second trans- ports will be here, and then we march on to Manila. Al! our boys are feeling fine and anxious for a fight. In case I should fall co not grieve after me. Certainly a @ life given in the cause of liberty, and that Hberiy emanating from the grandest coun- try on the face of God’s footstool, is simply dying as men should die. Instead of shed- ding tears of regret at a soldier's fall, tears of gladness should flow freely. out on those skeletons of Spanish vessels with a smokestack sticking out of the wa- ter here and there I thought how much more would be our cup of consolation to see the water lned with such wrecks.” Grand Ovation. In addition to the letter, which was evi- dently held pending the departure of a 1 steamer for Hong Kong, he says: As it is July 1 and I have a few minutes to spare, shall write a little more. Ad- riral Dewey has just left our boat for the islands, after a long interview with Gen- eral Anderson. As soon as he and the staff returns all of us will be taken ashore. Talk about patriotism asserting itself! I never saw its equal. While Captain Gi of the Charleston was firing on the fort at Guam Island, during the short interval be- tween shots the cheers from our three boats made one continual ovation. At the time the stars and stripes were placed over the fort old glory never fluttered more proudly, and there were thirty-six feet of her, too. Soldier's Diary.

Glass, “but were unpre- pared.” The captain replied: “What salute, sirs? This is a hostile vessel. War exists, sirs, between United States and Spain.” Both were surprised and 2xcited at this reply. Capt. Glass continued: “Now will surrender yourselves Pi war. Where is your governor?” “At Ayavio, six miles from here,” the reply. “I will parole you,” said Capt. Glass. “You must have your governor aboard this ship at 4 o'clock. You ean now leave and go ashore.’ A small boat still flying a Spanish fiag returned at 4 o'clock with note from gov- eihor refusing to come aboard, but stating that he would meet Capt. Glass ashore at 10 o'clock in the morning. Capt. Glass ob- jected to this, and came eboard the Aus- tralia to hold an interview with Gen. An- derson.

In addition to this, the Spantsh officials claim- ed that they had no clothes and had not bade their families good-bye. The leuten- ant informed them that the governor could s2nd word to his family and also the fami- Hes of the other officers, all of whom would be permitted to come aboard the ship to see them.

The Spanish official claimed that it was impossible to do this in so short a time, but he was given ten minutes in which to write the order.

On2 of the first alleviations in the endur- ing of hot weather is the thought that it will soon pass away. Even in the midst of @ prolonged heated term we have always the knowledge that somewhere in the world there is br2wing the blessed change which will bring us cool breezes and grateful showers. Then, too, what would we do without summer? And what would summer be were there no -heat? It is the inte} heat of the sun which is ripening the corn ng the cluster, and bringing to pass endid harvests which will presently into barn and bin. All next Winter we shall be enjoying the fruits of the hot weather, which is t arily t densome during the midsummer da may greatly soften the strain of heat letting the mind dwell these pleasa’ and attractive features, resolving never to fret and fume, let th be what it may. Nothing is so fretting, and the person who can ki mind easy will suffer much less bodily dis- comfort than the one who ows herseif to be irritated aad dist d. Among the alleviations possib rybody is to go right on with whi rork is in hand just as if it were coc da sensible Woman the other day taiking to her maid. It was in the country.

Strange Ideas of Economy, Politeness and Gratitude. From the St. Loufs Republic. — The spirit of economy in the Chinese race transcends all that can be imagined. The smatiest particle of matter ts utilized. The old cast-off account book of the merchant is cut into piecés and oiled to serve, instead of glass, in windows or lanterns. A coolie who has a six hours’ march with a heavy burden will return to his point of departure withour having broken his fast, in order to save the two cents his breakfast would have cost away from home. Nothing is more curious than to see them eat, although, with their famous chopsticks, they do not per- form all the wonderful feats generally sup- posed. They put their food in bowls or saucers and with the chopsticks they raise the pieces of meat or fish to the mouth with sufficient grace. Each has a bowl of rice, which he holds near his lips, and with the aid of the chopsticks he pushes the con- tents into his mouth. It fs curious to see them pick up with their chopsticks the grains of rice that fall on the ground. The children are tatight this art from their earliest years; nothing must be lost, not even the smailest grain. Europeans regard politeness as an ex- pression of those qualities of the heart Which render the person who desires to be polite agreeable to those with whom he is thrown. The Chinese look upon the matter from an entirely different standpoint. The Same sentiment which accords importance to the preservation of dignity regulates his actions as regards politeness. Here is an example of their politeness: A Chinese ar- rayed in his most beautiful costume, who presented himself at a house, disturbed a Tat which was enjoying himself in a jar of oil. The rat in his flight overturned the jar upon the visitor, whose dress was ruined. While the unfortunate visitor was still pale with rage his host entered the apartment, and after the usual salutation the visitor explained his misadventure: “As I entered your honorable apartment I had the mis- fortune to alarm your honorable rat, which, times a day for p2rhaps six weeks; but the brisk, cheerful, bri heuse-mistress did not sit down and complain. She went about the work cherily, saying, “I've always found it better not tosay, ‘I don’t sec how I am ever to do this,’ or ‘there is so much to be done, and I am so tired,’ but rather, ‘let me see how soon I can Siaish this and ha’ it out of the way, and then I can go on something else." The habit of keeping one’s hands and brain busy with one’s usual work has a great deal to do wit making one comfortable, 2ven though the thermometer registers an unusual deg: of heat. The busy person goes on ynd Goes net mind what is distressing to the other who sits down and allows himseif to realiz: hew very warm she is. Cold water poured slowly over the wriets ard hands will make one feel cool quicker than almost anything else. Frequently dur- ing the day to bathe the fac? and hands in cold water slightly perfum: a pleasant solace. The judicious person avoids drink- ing too freely of iced water, and while ccid lerconad>, raspberry shrub, and other pl ant home-made drinks are tak without danger, it is well not to overdo in this. Ex- cessive indulgence in cold rinks does nut really take away thirst. A small piece of ice heid in the moyth and allow2d siowly to dissolve is often more beneficial than a cold drink. A saucer filled with cracked ice is a great comfort on a hot day. Invalids who cannot be allowed to drink water too freely miay often take cracked ice with perfect sufety. A fan occurs to every one as the natural remedy in a heated room, and the electric fan maintaining a pleasant curreat is in- deed a boon. When on: must herself wield the fan, it is an open question whether the exertion dees not cost as much in the way of fatigue as the situation it was intended to relieve. Fans, howsver, are so prett and they so beautifully finisa a toile that women most reluctantly give them uy One thing by way of caution may be sal and that is to be careful when you fan yourself that you do not fan your neighbor. ‘the person who sits in front of you in church or tn the theater may not wish to be fanned on the back of her ueck. Many a case of neuralgia or rheumatism is trac: able to the energetic fanning from which there has been no escape. As a rul>, the person who fans another in this thoughtless manner is unaware of the discomfort she is inflicting. She never seas when the vic- in taking flight, overturned your honorable Jar of of] upon’my miserable and insignifi- cant clothing, which explains the contempt- ible condition in which you find me in your honorable presence.” To determine your conduct when a Chi- nese offers you a present is the most difficult thing in the world. Certain things are not offered to be accepted, and others may not be refused peremptorily. In a general man- ner, nevertheless, one may accept, under- standing perfectly that the gift must be returned a hundredfold. DRAINING PONTINE MARSHES. Will Ada@ Thousands of Acres Italy’s Arable Land. From the London Post. The famous Pontine marshes are soon to be drained by German enterprise. A Ger- than officer named Von Donnat has been studying for ten years past the best means of draining the district, and his scheme is now being considered by the superior coun- eil of public works. Not only German science, but also German finance, ts to be Intrusted with the work, for a member of the Prussian house of lords has recently Fme to Rome to settle the financial de- of the ir. The scheme consists in the construction of embankments built so as to r2gulate the flow of water from the to | Mountains to the sea, and all round the Marshes a large canal is to be dug to re- geive the water drained from the swamps. The whole of the interior of the. marsh is to be drained by a syst2m of smaller canals iepresséa ots which any < ‘Spot ich it might be to drain_in this a work, the when cultivated, would pak ‘an annual revenue of 8,000,000 francs. t:m moves uneasily; she does not notice lcoks, however significant; and even the adjusting of a collar or a wrap to p:otect the other's neck makes no tmpression upon her. Fanning on the back of unother per- son’s neck is an act of sheer thoughtless- ness, and p2ople who are thoughtless m ore direction are apt to be thoughtless in many. Among the bits of advice to be given for hot weather, an obvious one to the house- Keep2r is to dispense as far as possible with the kitchen range. Jt requires a great volume of coal to do its work, and it rends out a corresponding amount cf heat. A rtable stove, in which oll or gas is the eating factor, will do the cooking of an ordinary family, and the heat of the rang> may be thus eliminated from house and the family life. We need le meat in hot Weather than at other times, and a diet larg2ly composed of milk and fruit is to be recommended to all who prize cvolness dur- ing the summer season. A freezer, as a part of the kitchen furniture, proves a beon, as delightful desserts of frozen creams and fruits may be made home at small expense provided one has @ freezer of one’s own, Returning to the suggestion with which I began, I must remind you that one of the best alleviations of hot weather is an agreeable book. To sit in the veranda on an easy chair or Iie in a hammock with a pleasant book for a companion is to for- get alt about the weather and the climate. Do not keep th> house too light. After a thorough morning airing it Is better to close windows, draw shades, and exclude all out-door air as much as possible until the evening. Screens will protect one from flies and mosquitoes, and these intruders kept off the premises, one may wait with Philosophy for the advent of a cool wave. see. = - Appropriately Named.
