LEAGUE CONVENTION ADJOURNS Bteps Taken Toward the Enforce- “ ment of Contract Righta—Spald- ing's Views on the Brother- hood Scheme, The Bee Called the Tarn. Nrw Yonk, Nov, 15.—The Kansas City club has withdrawn from the American as- sociation and ten minutes later it was ad- thitted to membership in the Western asso- cintion, After the withdrawal of Kansas City, Phelps, of the Louisville club, was elected president of the association. The convertion adjourned this afternoon, to meet again to-morrow, Little was done this after- noon. Applications for membership were re- ceived from the Detroit ana Syracuse clubs, The League, New Yorg, Nov. 15.—The league conven- tlon adjourned at 3 p. m. to reconvene Janu- ury 28 ‘The entire session was taken up with a discussion of the brotherhood ques- tion, John Rogers, referring to the inten- tion of the players tn violate the reserve rule, offered a resolution that the league ‘will aid each of the membors in the enforce- ment of contract rights to the services of re- served players for the season of 1839-00, The resolution was unanimously adopted, dnd & committeo, consisting of Rogers, of Philadelphia; Byrne, of Brooklyn, and Day, of New York, was appointed to formulaté and carry out the best method of the en- forcement of the contract rights. Spalding, of Chicago, presented a resolu- tiou that no league club shall from this date enter into, negotiate, or contract with play- érs not under league rescrvation, or enter into negotiations with any club for the trans- fer of any of its players until February 1, 1890, That a committee of three be ap- Pointed, to be knowu as the negotiation com- inittee, to which shall be referced all appli- cations from players dcsirinr positions on Jeague teams, us well as upplications from club members of the national agroement wishing to di.pose of or releaso their play- ers, 'I'his was adopted, nud Nick Young, C. H. Byrne and Al Reach named as the com- mittee. After the adjournment Spalding smd he ‘was perfectly satisfied with the legislation and work effected, He added that the league, by the abolishment of the sales s) tem nnd classification rule, and by the pa) mentof $250 to Suicliffe, has given the play- rs more than they usked for, carrying out %h promise to them that the matter referred 10 in the June conference could be safely entrusted to the league for a fair settlement. In answer to a guestion as to the policy of the leawue toward revolting players, Spald- ing said that no one could speak definitely, but. his iden was that 1f they proceeded 10 put their scheme into operation the league clubs would make every possible effort to enjoin players from playing in another organiza- tion. The league has the cpinion of promi- nent lawyers that such injunctions will hold. In case they are not obtainable, there will be nothing lefs for the league to do but to expel players who enter nto the conspiracy, which Spalding says will practically mean their retirement from professional base ball should thieir scheme prove a failure. Mr. iflfldlnz very much doubts that the players ill succeed in effecting an orgamzution, and does not think that a majority of the players ‘will go into it. ‘fhe Feeling In Kansas City. Kaxsas City, Nov. 15.—|Spesial Tele- gram to Tun BEE.|—At no time has there been such interest in local sporting circles as when it yvas announced this afternoon that the'Kansas City team had left the American assoeiation and gone into the Western. 1t is asserted that President Spears had no such move in view when he left Kansas City. Complications arose at the meeting that de. termined his course. Local cranks will not be satisfied with a western club, and 1t is asserted that the move was only made in order that the local association would be empowered to hold its players until another move can be made. If the club remaine in the Weatern association, with limited sal- aries, Long, Hamilton and Burns will nov find it advantageous 1o stay in. «.¥on Der Ahe's Latest Scheme. .

But to sugment the association’s troubles and perplex ities, the Cowboys did not wait to be red, but yesterday withdrew from uhe ‘ussociation and within ten minutes were ad- mivted into the Western assoviation. Whale this s now common news throughout the country, TuE BE feols o justifinble fl:'ldl in the fact that it was the only pape the country that predicted this basa ball sensation. The Kansas City papers even ro- #used a telegram to the above effoct on Wed- nesday evening lust, stating thau thoy took 00 stock in the story and that Tne Bee was 4n no position to got hold of any such ex- clusive information, But, a@s 1o the effect upon affairs of the Western association, 1t s without a doubt the best thing that couid ever have happeued in the interesis of west- ‘ern base ball affmrs.

It has beena great year for swine shows, Over one thousand five hun- dred in Towa, over one thousand in Ne- braska, oyer five hundred in both Illi- nois and Indisna—such has been the numerical run of the exhibits, says the Breeders’ Gazette. Sales at all the fairs, especially those west of the Miss- isaippi, were brisk and prices were well sustained. An improved tone in the warket is noted in reports from the yards, owing to the strong demana on shipping account, so that, despite the bearish attitude of the packers, prices have adyvanced u notch or two. There is wnmistakubly 8 ready sale for the better clags of boars and sows which breeders have prepared for the fall trade, and altogether our swine-breed- ing friends huve little occasion for complaint.

Much of the hard work of converting pigs into pork is avoided by making use of various contrivances to faeilitate the work, The old way of scalding in a barrel with water heated in a kettle and turned into the barrel is vastly in- ferior to a long scalding trough made of lank, with o sheet-iron bottom. This to be so sot with stones nnd earth that the fire runs the whole lar;fl.h and heats the wuter very ngmly.

THE LARGESTCROPS EVER KNOWN An Enormouns Yield of Whenat, Corn, Oats and Cotton--Iron and Steel Mills Taxed to Th Utmost. A Brilliant Ontlook. New York, Nov. 16.—[Special Telogram ‘i Bee.]—According to R G.Dun & Jo., business continues healthy, confident and unprecedented in volume. Long ago it wis hold that the year's vesult would turn uboa the crops, and it is now cortain that the yield has been, on the whole, about the lurgest ever kaown, The question whether the wheat yield is 20,000,000 or 30,000,000 bushels below the maximum is not important. The cotton crop will much exceed any previ- ous one if the latest official figures are cor- recw. The corn crop will exceed any preced- ing one by 100,000,000 to 200,000,000 bush- els, The oat crop 18 also the largest ever knowa, and the shortage in potatoes and fruit is immensely overshud- owed by the gain in meats. The exports of provisions and oattle in October showed ugalust last year a guin of 68 per cent. ‘L he bank clearings show that the mcrease av Now York was 50 per cent for last week; at Boswn, Philadelphin and Chicago 17 per cent, and at all other cities 18 per cent. I'he capacity of iron furnuces in blast No- vomber 1 was much the greatest ever re- corded, no less than 165,765 tons weekly, against 151,059 October 1, u gain of nearly 10 per cent for the month, and ngainst 141,064 November 1, 1888, a gain of 17.5 per cent for the year. The weekly vroductio now greater than that of Great Britai close to the greatest ever recorded i country, being at the rate of about 8,300,000 tous yeurly, sfter allowance for the diffe ence betweon the capacity and tho actual outbut. Yet no excess of the production has been perceived und prices are firm at the re- cent advance, an_actual but small sale of rails at being reported. i3ar iron is strong av $19.50, nails in fair demand at §2.10, and plats, structural and sheet mills full of orders. ‘he one point of douot is whether the wuarrant system may not operate for thg time to conceal an excess output over the real consumption, and thus prepare for disastrons reaction later. The coal business is still dull. Copper has risen to 12}¢c bid for lake. Lead is dull and 10c weaker at 213{c. Woolen goods are moving fuirly and at concessions in prices. Manufacturers have been buying more freely. 1t is also reported thut 1mporters’ sales of spring goods have been the heuviest ever known, which, 1f true, threatens more competition than the manufacturers have aunticipatea. The boot and shoe trade continues large witn steady prices, and leather is steady. we clothing business is duli at Pniladelphia, with hard cotlections, and dull at Cnicago also. Speculation in products has been more active, with some advances in prices. For- eign reports helped a raise of 2 cents in wheat, but it came out Thursday that heavy operators who were buying at Chicago wero selling bere, and the sales at Now York were over 10,000,000 bushels that day. Corn is but 1§ of a cent stronger, pork unchanged, with @& slight advance in lard, petroleum only ashade higher, and oats 1 cent higher. Coffee hus been advanced % of a cent, but the Ldislnhulion is dull. Chemicals are uict. e speculation in stocks has made small progress. Railroad earnings are most en- couraging, showing gams of 121§ per cent for October, There is more than the usual uniformity in accounts from all parts of the country, for though Milwaukee finds busi- ness not very satisfactory owing to open weather and the demand for money decreas- ing, and some lines of trade are’ slow at Clovelund and' Philadelphis, the reports from other points are all fuvorablo as to the volume'of business, and in the ‘muin -as- to collections. The money market is easy at Chicago and Pniladelphia, but at from 6 to 7 per cent at Boston for ordinary commercial paper, and unchanged here at 6 per cent _on call. For- eign exchange is & shade higher, and the Bank of England lost $1,835,000 in gold last week, and the Bank of F'rance $260,000. But the largo exports lessen the demand on this market, the increase of merchandise values sent out from this port bhaviog been 247 per cenv for thetwo weeks of November, - though the imports ure also large. ‘The treasury has again avoided the accumulation of monoy, having paid out during the week $250,000 more than it has taken in.

The fast mail service has caused an unex- pected eruptionin messenger circles, which may bo the means of bringing about more or less trouble, The difficulties lies in an or- der which reduces tho salaries of eleven men from $1,000 to $900. *“This reduction is made necessary,” says Chief ClerkCramer, hecause of the fact that we are compelled to increaso the working force of each crew from threo to four men. The old system re- quired only the latter number, who were graded as follows: Clerk, $1,300; assistant clerk, - 81,150 ana messenger $1,000 The mnext man, when it is nec- ossary to put another on, is always listed at 3 The establishment of this extra service has not broughtfus any wmore men.

A reporter off the Ventura (Cal.) Ga- zette was informéd vecently of a r markable exampla of sagacity, under- standing and obedience in n dog. The animal is what'{seatled ashopherd dog, is ten years olff,“was born ™ Montana, ad English the man of the . Schiappa_ Pietra ns a skoep-horder, itid, in his dutivs is ably sted by his dog. About a week ago laid the following extraordinary th ono of his employers: He s dog and a year's work nst 8100 that the dog would stay on the ranch alone, unattended by any human being. for five days: that the animal would take the sheep to pasture in the morning and bring them % the corral at night, and in fact look out for the sheepin every way as well as a man could. The bet was taken and tne Mexican, first hanging up plenty of meat for the dog to eat, gave his instructions to his dumb assistant and left the ranch, com- ing to town. Last Monaay the money was paid over by Mr. Schinppa Pietra, ng carried out for five days ctions of his master and win- ning the wager for him. The Mexican says his employers are very rich (and of course they are), but that they have not money enough to buy that dog. S Starved to Death in a Mine. The bodies of four of the men who were entombed in the Humilton coal it near Newcastle, N. 8. W.. were ound September 5, says the San Fran- cisco Chronicle. They presented one of the ghastliest sights ever seen in such a disastor, the bodies being reduced to skin and bone und all the surroundings showing that they had starved to death after making desperate efforts to escape from their living tomb, James Hodson was found first. He had an iron bar with shich he had tried to work his way out. Near him, but separated by a wall of coral which had fallen in, were found three other bodies. All were nothing more than skin and bone. From their position and the etate of the bottom of the heading it wasat once evident that the poor fellows must have died from starvation,andin their agony had paced up and down within the lim- ited space until a hard beaten path was formed. As the body of Hodson was separated from the rest by a close fall, it is considered certain that he proceed- ed in advance of the rest of tho party and was afterward unable to rejoin them, owing to the roof falling behind him. Evidence was abundant that the men had made desperate offorts to make their escupe, and Hodson, the foremost man, had tunnelled a distance of forty-four yards ;through the debris before he succumbed. - ST Cushman’s Mentho inhater cures catatrh, headache, neuralgis, asthma, hay fever. “Lxial free at your druggist.

ABOUT _VJ MEN'S CLOAKS. {o— New York City Has the Lion's Share ofiuhe Trad=, Every county in the Unitea States is supplied more of Ibss with ladies’ cloaks made in the city, bf New York. Experis estumate the tofalvalue of ladies’ closks produced in the United States at $40,- 000,000 to $50.000,000 a year. About three-fourths ‘of the manufacturing of these cloaks is ‘done in the city of N York, siys the"New York Sun. Chi cago comes next, Cleveland next, Bos ton, PhihulelflhimvundCincillnuti dostill smaller clonk ~business. In the last seventeen yearsthe cloaks have driven shawls steadily out of the market, until they have almost disappeared. There is about $20,000,000 capital 1nvested in the ladies’ cloalk business of the United Statos. ,About, $7,000,000 a year is paid in wages to the workmen. To make $50,000,000 worth of cloaks uses up about. $25,000,000 worth of domestic goods and tritmmings every year. About one-half of the entire ladies’ cloak business of the United States is done by five houses in the city of New York, and there is. probably no business which has made such a sudden and vigorous growth as this one. The cloak business is exceedingly sensitive. The vagaries of female fashion must be studied and foresecen with the utmost discernment. The cloak must go over the dress, and when the dress changes the clouk must change. The ‘cloak manufacturers, therefore, watch the fashions anxious- ly. There isone house in New York that sells about $2,500,000 worth of la- dies’ cloaks every year. At the end of the scason they may have $50,000 worth of stock left, not more. They pay out about $300,000 in wages every year. They can turn out 7,000 cloaks a week, and in the busy seasou they have orders three weelis ahead for as many cloaks as they can make. The cloakmakers have agentsin Bu- rope on the aiert for novelties. They can take the finest Parisian cloak and veproduce it in three days; They have of late years wrested the bulk of the ladies’ cloak trade from the importers, There used to be 20 per cent of the cloaks imorted. Now there is . only 2% per cent 1mported, There are vari- ous reasons for this, One is the ease with which foreign-made cloaks can be imitated. The chief reason is thatall the materinls that make a cloak are lero, and if the munulacturing is done here the vagaries of fash- ion can be ensily followed. The im- porter of cloaks must order his goods months ahead, and by the time he gets them nere the fashion may change. ‘We are by no means dependent ‘upon foreign fashions, Awerican women do not hesitate to medify a new fashion and order garments with this or that change. Theselelianges the manufac- turer is quick to ‘@¥serve, and the result is vhat little ?fiiltlla every new style of garment develgps variations.

Mrs. Binney's affairs were so interwoven with those of her husband that she was com- pelled to go into the insolvency court, where the proceedings are now pending. ™ and Mrs. Binnoy were ried in Boston 1n 1884, The house at No. 275 Marlborough street was built in 1886, Twenty-five thousand dollars borrowed on a building mortgage to build the house, and later $i5,000, presum- ably to help farnish it. The house was lux- uriously furnished and a large corps of ‘ser- vants was hired. In the summer the family lived at Nantasket beaclf, where they had a fine residence and lived in elogant style, keeping up an unusually fine stabls. Some idea of the extravagance in which Binney has been induiging can be obtained by a glance at a bill in the insolvency court by one firm of dealers in cigars. From this it appears that Binney paid for cigars at the rate of $250 and $270 per thousand, his cigar bill at this house alons aggregating more than §1,100 for the five and a hall months next preceding his failure. Binney 1s about twenty-five yeurs old, but has the appear- ance of a man of thirty-five. He left the city on Saturday night. et S L) THE HOUSEHOLD. mar- Kor a Thanksgiving Dinner.

Put on pastry and bake. ; Thanksgiving Pudding—Grateall the crumbs of a stale loaf of bread, boil a quart of milk, and pour it boiling hot over the grated bread; cover it and let it steep for an hour, then set to cool. Prepare half a pound of currauts, washed and dried, half a pound of stoned raisins und a quarter of a pound of cit- ron cut in shps; add two grated nut- megs, a tablespoonful of mace and cin- namon powdered together. Mix half a Kound of loaf sugar with half a pound of utter. Mix with the bread and milk, add a glass of currant jelly and a glass of cider. 'Beat eight eggs very light and stir into the mixture.

Under the circumstances prudence would suggest making a sup- plf’ to last all winter. It keeps well in self-sealing jars. Cooking in Copper. The French always cook in copper, says London Truth, All meat, from veal to game, thatisusea in a made dish is first fried in butter, which can only be done properly in a copper vessel, be- cause its heat is evenly diffused, and it does not grow rapidly very hot or cold, Batter melted in an iron vessel, even though it have a porcelain lining, soon blackens. Potatoes fried in butter in a coppbr saucepan take a beautiful golden tinge, In anironone they get black. That glory of the French cordon bleu, **canard aux navets,” would stick to the bottom of any but a copper stewpan,and get burned' 1if not constantly stirred. Now, frequent stirring involves a loss of aroma. What I have said of duck appliest 0 “boeuf a la mode,” or to “‘poulet a la Marengo,” or shoulder or mutton braise, or ‘‘gibelotte de lapin.” ‘When new to France, I set myne;f up with a batterie de cusine bought in Bel- gium, It was of iron, enameled with blue without and within., Having one day invited a dozen or so friends to din- ner, I secured the services of a chef. I shall never forget how, on being taken into the kitchen, he folded his arms and eyed the utensils with which he was to operate, ‘‘You want, seri- ously,” he“eaid, ‘‘to lay before your guests & dinnor which they will eut with pleasure?” *Of course.” *“Well, as it18 impossible to work with that batterie de cuisine,and it is too late ot et anothor, I beg leave to go away. 'he vessels you have are only fit to scald vegetables.” In England there is an exaggerated fear of verdigris, which, however sick- oning, is really never fatal in its eflects. But as the prejudice is strong, it might be well for manufacturers to guarantee absolute safety by using nickel instead of tin lining, Nickel hardly ever wears out, and is easy to keep clean. A Cup of Tea. It seems a simple thing enough, says the London Telegraph, yet of the mil- lions who use this refreshing and agree- able bevarnie o very small proportion understand how to prepare it. But if not properly made tea is deprived of a great deal of its value and sometimes rendered absvlutely injurious. The water to be usea should beil, and it should be roured on the “tea immedi- ately it boils; if allowed to oyerboil the peculiar property of which acts upon te eventually disappears. Tea should not be a decoction, but an infusion. If allowed to stew it becomes little better than & decoction of tannic acid. Tea that is overdrawn is hurtful to the nerves and to the digestion. As to the boiling water evaporates and precise number of minutes which should be devoted 1 the process of drawing, some peoplo will say five tinutes, some seven, some will perhaps go s far as ten, but our experience is in favor of six; this suffices to bring out the fNavor, quality and strength. Just as much tea as is wanted should be made—no more. Make fresh tea as often as it is vequired. The re- plenishing of the teapot with fresh hot water 18 very ohjectionable. As the thorough heating of the receptacio isof the first importance, the teapot should be made thoroughly hot before the tea is put in it. The earthenware teavot is preferred toall others by many connois- seurs, and it is superfluous to say thut whatever utensil is used for this pur- pose should be immaculately clean. Ten is an extromely de e article, 1ts susceptibility to the odor of commod- ities near it is a source of danger and deterioration, as it readily takes up the smell of Coffee, cocon, spices, cheese, bacon, or other articles of pronounced odor. The complaints sometimes made about ten would probably notarise if al- ways kept in places froc rrom such con- tagion. Teashould be stored in a warm, dry place; unnecessary exposure to the airshould be avoided. Bven' whe curely packed in the leaden ch i which it arrives in England the change from the glowing heat of eastern skies to the damp and humid atmosphore of this climate deprives tea of much of its beautiful feagrance. on of much better quality than is disponsed at our railway stations and rofreshment rooms can be bought at 2 shillings per pound. A pound of ten would make 128 cups. This is considerably less than afarthing percup.

A straight piece about vwenty inches 1n. length by nine in breadth was turned back at one end about one-third of its length to form the pocket und secured to the back by wire sewed across the ends. The pocket thus formed was filled with wet moss and flowers thrust into it.

A writer in the Scotsman has un- ,carthed an amusing ancedote of Thomas Carlyle as u country “dominie,” for the accuracy of which "he vouche: the St. James Gazette. It was told in 18 by a Cupar Fife lawyerand provost, who had been one of Carlyle’s pupils at Kirkecaldy, to the writer snd Hugh Mille: The interest of this gentle- man’s reminiscences of his old school- was heightened by his utter un- consciousness that his old dominie was the Thomas Carlyle who was then be- ginning to be kuown to fame. The old gentleman described the older race of Scottish schoolmaster i school honrs wearing their hats—at least keeping their heads covered, and many of the boys, viewing the peculiar angle atwhich the hat stood upon the hoad, and how near it came to the e brows. could conjecture 1f the savage mood were to be that day predominant. “But my teacher,” said the provost, “a strict and gloomy disciplinarian with the name of Carlyle, never wore his hat in the school; and, indeed, his brow was sooverhung with dark threat- ening, and his large glowing eyes con- atantly shot forth wrath, while his pro-~ truding chin was laden with scorn, that no extra expressien to alarm us was needed from his lum-hat! He did not thrash us either yery often or very se- verely, but we had a fear that, if pro- voked, he would go great lengths in punishment. I have seen his mere scowl hush at once the whole school. The biggest and the boldest boys spe- cinlly droaded bis grins and his mock- ing words, How savagely his teeth were wout to grind out the term ‘dunce’ or ‘blockhead.’ ” Hugh Miller here interposed by ask- ing: “‘Did your teacher ever burst into a strange laugh in school?” ““That is a very odd question,” returned the Pro- vost. “Why do you ask? But now that I remember, he had at times a very extraordivary laugh that made us all ‘stare. It had a train of queer chuckling which exploded in a succes- sion of loud and deep guffaws that shook his whole body and displayed all his teeth like the keys ‘of a piano. He then clapped his handsoa the book held against his knees; yet none of us ever knew at whav he ‘was laughing. He had a grim smile in reproving pupils, and a habit of tapping their heads with his konuckles as he told them thei heads would never be worth the price of hats, or the charge of a barber, though mammas and aunts had that morning combed, kissed and blessod them in pious wonder—us il they were teeming with the sublimest iuventious and designs.” The provost saw that Hugh Miller and some other guests were listening eagerly, and he proceeded: “One morn ing, a few minutes before the school hour, when most of the pupils had ar- rived, and—as rain was falling—they had gone into the school, a donkey, which had broken loose from -its tether on a grassy spot near, was entering the playground. Bill Hood and I were so faron our way; and Bill, who was a stout und frolicsome lad—the ringleader in many sports and tricks—rushed to mount the animal, and began to guide and forco it into the school. With desperate spurring, the donkey was in- duced to carry its rider over the thresh- old; and what a reception both of them got from the juvenile crowds! Bags of books. were at once fastened to the tail and around the neck of the ass; and 60 busy were Bill and half a dozen com- punions in urging the brute to a canter round the school, and to ascend the short stair of the master’s desk, that they did not notice how time was speed- ing. and before they could remove the strunger Mr, Carlyle appeared. We expected a tremendous explosion of wrath, but he burst into a roar of laugh- ter—such ® roar, however, as, instoad of tempting us to join in it, produced a sudden and complete hush, and that roar was renowed again and again when the ass, withdrawing its forefeect from e S e SICK HEADACHE CARTER : these Little Pills, They also relleve tress frora Dyspepsia, In- TORPID LIVER.

He did not require tho other scholars to attend to their sovoral school lessons, but silently permitted them to stand as spectators of the gro- tesque procession. Then he himsolf, seated withio his pulpit-like desk, sur- voyed Bill and his companions with a strange mixture of mirth, scorn and fury.
