CHICAGO, II., Dec. 15.—Mrs. Caroline Corbin, president of the Woman's Anti- Suffrage Society, has given her sisters who desire suffrage a blast that will be received with indignation and blushes.

LONDON, Dec. 15.—War interest is to- day almost equally divided between the Modder and the Tugela Rivers.

The railway from Estcourt to Durban is weil guarded by troops at all the bridges and the entire line constantly patrolled by Kaffirs to give warnings of the ap- proach of raiding Boers.

The latest news of Methuen comes in a dispatch from a telegraph operator at Mod- Ger River, dated Tuesday evening, who says: “Gun and Maxim firing has been ro- ceeding since 6:30 this mcrning. At 10 can- nonading was proceeding an dat 2 the fignt- ing was reported to be very severe. The Boer force along the river bank was being heavily attacked and is receiving aasistan® from the other, Boer forces.”’ This indicates that the Boers were having the best of tWe fighting, which had lasted from early until 2 o'clock in the afternodn, and was perhaps continued all day, Buller seems to be proceeding with the greatest caution, and evicently realizes the weight of the responsibility now upon him, but friends of the Boers here are saying that the only reagen that Buller has not been beaten is because he has not fought @ battle. Buller hae moved his artillery ap to with- in fairly close range of the Boer position on the Tugela, and for two days he has been throwing shells into the Boer lines with the view of calling out return fire and unmasking their batteries. But failed. Gen. Barton, on the advance line, ig reported to have 3% guns in good positions and the Boers are apparently pursuing the same tactics as at Magefrsfontein, not re- plying. with the view of concealing their position until the Infantry is brought into play. A diapatch, dated yesterday, from Chieve- ly, the advance post of Buller’s army, say®: “The Boers have not fired a shot, but have kept a dead silence along their strong lines on the hills north of the Tugela River, tncluding Grobler’s Kloof. “We could gee bodies of mounted men | \" aes 40 their camps.

Judson, John H, Overall and R, H. Kern ‘who ‘represent the Board of Police Commissioners. The document is as fol- lows: Relators admit that the police act, approved March 15, 18¥¥, reqaires the Buard of Police Com- Dissioners, annualiy, on the Slist day of March @ach year, to prepure in writing an estimate of the sum of money which will be necessary fur each current fiscal year to enabie them to discharge the duties imposed on them by the act, and to meet the expeuse of the police department, and to cer- tify the same to the Muuicipal Assembly; and Aiso requites such Municipal Assembly to set apart and appropriate -the amount so certified, and in case of refusal to set aside and appropriate the revenue necessary to carry out the provisions of the act, the Mayor and the Municipal Assembly may be eompelied by manhuamus to make such ap- propriation. Kut relators are unwilling to admit that this court has erred in deciding that the act itself miakes the appropriation so far as allowed and certined claims and saiary rolis are concerned. What the Legisiatute intended to do was to give the city an opportunity to separate its various funds and tl@s prevent the confusion, suggested by counsel for respondent, that is likely to resuit, if the funds for the support of the poiice are not separated. By requiring the officers of the city to audit and pay within ive days aiter being audited, the claims and salary rolis certified by the Police Board, such payment to be made ‘‘out of any mon- eys in the caty treasury bet appropriated to the Specific. purposes above enumerated,’’ the act qakes the appopriation so far as such claims and salary rells are coneerned, as decided by this court, ald in harmony with the decisions of other courts of high authority cited by counsel of relators thelr original brief, : Counsel ask ‘‘what are the city officers to credit ; the city hospital fund, to the lighting fund, to the interest account, or to the glaking fund prig: to any appropriation of these funds by the M@e- Ricipai Asseniviy?’’ The answer is plain: They re to credit nothing to such fuods. The Muni- ipal Assembly, and not these officers, may wake e appropriations for these funds, and when e, ey are sacred and cannot be used for police pur- . The payments are to be made out of oneys in the city treasury not appropriated t the specific purposes above enumerated, If noth- is appropriated for such specific purposes, then there is nothing in the city treasury to exempt from the. warr This eons to properly and punctually attend to its own affairs. who.e matter is in the hands of the municipal suthorities. They can prevent all the confusion huggested by counsel; but, confusion or no con- fusion, the Legislature seems to have considered the protection of life and property as of the highest importance, and to so have written the law that such pretection could be secured under all circumst ‘hs aniintetiel on: mandamus to set , #- 7 ances. that the act process, tions of policemen y -phould receive their pay. ng such questions might not cause inconvenience to the city, but the at such delay d , and s0 at his argumeptum ab ineonve city's k gs.

FIRE, SMOKE, WATER. Having Adjusted Losses by Water and Smoke, The Broadway Inaugurates a Sale That Will Be a Bargain Carousal for Shrewd Shoppers. “Tt is an ill wind that blows nobody goed.”’ The disastrous fire which burned out the Sanders Engraving Company and caused the Broadway great damage by smoke and water, will prove a biessing to the eager buyers of St. ‘Louis, who are trying to make their Christmas money goa long way. The insurance, amounting to thousands of oe oe been adjusted and the manag. 6 have termined to deduct every dol.ar of this mdéney from the already ruinous re- moval prices, which virtually amounts to giving away of damaged household goods. Magnificent couches, bed room suites and parior pieces go for tess than the original cost of the materials. Many articles are so slighthy damaged as to show no marks ex- cept upon the closest inspection. Just think of it, a dollar off for a scratch, $2 for blis- ters, $ for splinters and $10 for bruises. The damaged goods have been collected upon the fourth floor and of course comprise but a portion of the gigantic stock, but upon every floor will be found the choicest styles of the furniture world in quantity, quality and variety never before gathered . under one roof in St. Wouls. And there is not a chair, or a range, a rug or a carnet. that is not marked at removal sale prices that prove the impotency of comype..tion. Summed up in a brief review it can be said without fear of successful contradiction, that T Broadway has inaugurated the Century's Greatest Bargain Carousal, the logical results of which will be enormous crowds and tremendous sa-es. 4 Tt time the present quarters at Broadway and Locust must be evacuated and it has been irrevocably determined not to move a do)- lar’s worth of zoods to the new location at Olive and Eleventh streets. It is impossi- ~ . ble to fill mail orders during the period of this phenomena! sale. but it is worth while | coming miles to trade with the Broadway, Sale begins Monday, see Sunday's papers. Not Strewn With Roses. From the Pbiledelphia Record. “My path fn life is not strewn with roses,’’ re- marked the beggar ‘Then here's a cent,”’ eaid the kind-hearted old Mr. Fred Henze, formerly a member of the firm of Henze & Piatt, has sold his in- terest in the above-mentiored firm to Mr. F.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE, tagonist, of Walnut Park; Joseph Cappels, timekeeper, 4060 Page avenue; Louis N. Norteman, second, 2718 Dayton street; Wil- liam Clark, alias’ “Belfast Chicken,” pro- prietor of the St. Louis Natatorium, Nine- teenth and Pine streets: Price Lawson, colored, second, 1519 Chestnut street; Wili- liam Zachritz, second, 2818 Cherokee street; Charles Fitzgerald, second, Sixth and Elm streets; Char.es W. Whitney, Jr., manager, 140 Washington avenue; Tim Hurst, ref- eree, Lindell Hotel. Neise was an employe of the Western Fish and Oyster Co. He worked daily and did no training. He was married. His wife and two children live at the North Twentieth street address. He was 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighed about 180 pounds. He was % years old. Bellerson is 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs about 170 pounds. Laughter greeted the appearance of the men in the ring. Neise, billed on the pro- gramme as the “Lone Rabbit Hunter,” looked like a slim giant alongside of Beller- ston, “Champion of Utah,” as named on the programme. Bellerson is the typical comic paper prize fighter. His head is bul- ace tee aus ge rg ee immensely broad e, sharp eyes look 2 protruding moe & y out under a low, euerson was fat, his antagonist ver lean. They began to hemenes: ot an as er s0 soon as the word was given. The 800 or 900 persons in. the house wumited in an uproar of laughter. It was so funny Here were two men, one a great gaunt angular fellow, the other a squatty well- built but fat man, pounding each other for dear life and $25. Neither knew anything of the art of self-defense; neither cared, ap- parently, how much he was hurt. so he could inflict punishment on the other fel- low. They «truck with open hands, with the backs of their hands, they pushed and shoved, and did everything possible against each other except to use their feet. Being “‘dubs’”’ the timekeepers did not let them fight three-minute rounds as rules dic. tate, but shortened the rounds to suit the condition: of the men as the fight prog- ressed. They were advertised to fight 15 rounds, and the fight being so futiny, the management desired to give the audience as much of it as possible. In the early part of the fight Bellerson rushed Neise to the ropes, Neise clinched, and both fell through the ropes to the or- chestra stalls, a distance of six feet. They scrambled back to the ring and went at each other again. The crowd velled wild- ly; these “dubs’’ were game as well as funny. Neither man was hurt in the fall. In the fifth round one of Bellerson’s wild swinging blows knocked Neise to his knees. The referee rushed in and held Bel- lerson back, while he began to count, “One—two—three.”’ The crowd stood up and yelled. Neise remained on one knee For Over 17 Years the Sever ‘Sutherland Sisters’ Hair Grower and Scalp Cleaner have stood at the head of all hair prepara- tions.

The _ referee stepped et and struck fiercely at each other. Neise dropped again, he referee began to count. Bellerson stood panting and glaring at his fallen antago- nist. rhe crowd cheered, drowning the sound of the referee’s voice. The referee beat time to the counts with his finger. At “nine” Neise struggled to his feet. He was all but exhausted. He staggered, but met his foe with his hands up. Bellerson rushed at him again and dealt him a biow in the face. Neise dropped his hands. He was blinded and attempted to grab Bel- erson’s arms. Anything to save himself. The referee jumped in between the men. He parted them. As he stepped betwen them Neise groped for the ropes. His hands were down, his head was down. Men about the ring shouted to Bellerson; the crowd was up and yelling. In the din Bellerson heede nothing but the destructive mania that the fight had aroused. with- in him. He ran around the referee, behind the staggering, groping Neise, and dealt him a terrific blow from behind. Neise collapsed like a punctured balloon, He did not fall forward or fall at full length. He simply collapsed and dropped Hfeless. His shoulder struck the floor first, then tis head. Those who were present say they did not hear the sound of his head striking the floor. No wonder, The crowd, worked up to the exciting anticipa- | tion of a knockout, broke loose with a din of. yelling that would have drowned a pis- to] report when Bellerson’s final blow was delivered. Bellerson saw that his antagonist was out of the battle and ran to his corner. One of his seconds, a man who had shouted fran- tically for him to not strike that last blow, struck him in the face, as he, the second, rushed past the victor to relieve the fallen Neise. The crowd continyed to cheer. The re- feree and a dozen others surrounded Nelse, who was limp. helpless and lifeless. They rubbed his wrists, threw cold water in his face and put ammonia under his nose. They could not revive.him. The crowd gradually ceased cheering.

Mr. John- son said his position in the matter of box- ing exhibitions as dictated by the inion of City Counselor Schnurmacher which wus given the police some’ time ago.

When she saw further pleading was use- less, she told him she wouid not retire for the night until he returned. About mid- night she heard the news, but refused to believe it.

ASSED SUDDENLY AWAY. HAD BURIED 18,000 BODIES. He Always Intended to Dig His Own Grave, but Death Intervened Too Quickly. Joseph R. James, the old sexton of Wal- nut Hill Cemetery, in ‘Belleville, is dead. ‘The man who has buried nearly every- body who ever died in Belleville and the @urrounding territory is at last to be buried himself. He is to be laid to rest among thé thousands who have been laid to rest by him, . If the dead are capable of regretting things left undone on earth the greatest regret of Sexton James will be that he Was not able to dig his own grave, lt was his ambition to thus round out his grave- ng career. He has always said he would lie in a grave dug by his own hands. He was taken sick suddenly and Was not permitted to do this. r. James was sexton of Walnut ,Hill Cemetery 4 years. In that time he buried 18,00 men, women and children. This 1s about the present population of «Belleville, 60 that thefe is a city of the‘ living and a ay of the dead, side by side, and the ulation of each is about the same. The dy of Sexton James will be removed out of the city of the living into the city of the dead. . James arrived in Belleville in the fall of 1854 with his bride from England. He Was a lusty young Cornishman. The fol- sp Wing spring he was elected sexton by the City Council. On May 16, 1855, he went. up on the sidehill above the Freeburg aagall and dug a grave. That was num- r 1. Walnut Hill Cemetery was then away out in the country. Now it is in the edge of the city. Then there were only a few hundred graves in it. Now there are up- Wards of 19,000. * Through all ttfese years James had been the sexton. Year after ear successive mayors reappointed him and the council al- Ways confirmed the reappointment, gener- ary wastrout a dissenting vote. The sexton, as | rew old, became a little irritable and Jet it be geen that he considered the posi- tion was his for life, but he was faithful and efficient and nobody ever thought of Suggesting that he ought to be succeeded by a younger man. He had reared a family. out there by the cemetery and latterly his sons had assisted him with the work of ‘disposing of the dead. Still he never reiin- quished the direction of things. He converted Wainut Hill cemetery from @ bram).e-zgrown wood to a well kept, mod- ern park of the dead, with shaded drives and walks and vistas which would be en- tirely pleasing if they were not dotted by the marble signs of homes bereft and hearts broken. Iie was 75 years old. In spite of his age he gave his pergonat attention to every in- terment, if he was able to be, about. A few days before he was taken down with his fatal iliness a Post-Dispatch photog- rapher came upon him in the cemetery. He was just rounding off the top of a freshly made mound on which the sun cast the shadow of a marble cross which rose above an adjoining grave. The sorrowing treid- tives and the sympa ne friends had gone Slowly down the hill. 6 leaned on his spade as he spoke | “Yes,” he said, “I have buried about 1S,- 000 people in this cemetery. That does not include those TI. have buried in other ceme- teries, nor those I thave raised and trans- pigpte “If I have ever buried a person alive I have no reason to suppose it. Sometimes people, mostly women, come to me a few days after a relative has been buried and ask me to open the grave to see if he was really dead. Generally it is a woman whose child has been buried. Maybe somebody has said how life-like the child looked or suggested that it might not have been dead and the mother, unstrung and nervous 2nd imaginative, thinks over it till she ‘con- vinces herself that her child was not dead. Then she comes out here and asks me to open the grave. Ai "Il say to all of them: ‘If the child was not dead before, it is certainly dead now.’ “They go away then, but T suppose some of them continue te doubt as long as they live that the child was dead. “Some have had so strong a feeling that @ person had been buried alive that noth- ing I could say had any effect on them |}, and I have had to open the graves. case, however, did I find anythin céte that consciousness had retug’ interment. : "Ghosts?

The depth of the grief of the living is well shown by the attention they give to the graves of the tirely neglected after a few days or weeks or moanths.”’ +7 sexton said then, as he had often said before, that he intended to dig his own grave, He said when-he felt ‘this time was approaching he would dig a grave with great care and cover it up and let it wait until it was ready for him to occupy it. He would probably have carried out his intention if it had not been for an accident. A week ago he was taken suddenly ill. A doctor was called who treated him. He arose before his Strength warranted it. In attempting to cross the room the became faint and fell. His head struck a coal bucket and he was rendered unconscious. The doctor was called again.

There was a iudicrous mix-up of the time-honored families of Jones and Smith at Union station Thursday night that nar- rowly escaped taking a serious turn and precipitating a panic among the anxious pa- rents concerned, David S. Jones, who lives on a farm near Springfield, Ill., boarded a train at that ace Thursday for St. Louis. He was on is way to visit his brother in Kansas, and accompanying him were his wife and his interesting ily of eight children, the eldest 12 years old and the youngest a ba’by in arms. ‘ When the train on which they were trav- eling reached Jerseyville, Albert Smith, who was going to Southwest Missouri to lind a new home, became a passenger. He was also accompanied by his wife and children, of whom there were nine, ranging in age from I to 18 years. The family of Smith took seats in the coach occupied by the family of Jones, and an acquaintance was soon tormed between the children. his led to the establishment of amicable refations between the heads of the familiés. They found each other agree- abie, and, when they arrived in St. Louis, took seats together in the emigrant waiting room. At supper time they pooled their lunches and shared the resuit. Meanwhile, the children enjoyed them- selves in various ways. ll of them re- mained together, and made such a crowd that they could not possibly become lost. So the parents did not bother themselves much about them. When the call for their trains was heard, Smith and Jones made a burried trip through the Midway and cor- railed the children, who were finding many things to interest them. They were back to the oe room, where wraps and coats were hurriedly donned, and the bag- gage of each a? was distributed among the larger children to carry. It happened that the train Mr. Jones and family wished to take was at one end of the Midway, while the one Mr. Smith was to travel’ by stood at the other. So it was not necessary for them to part immediately after leaving the emigrant room. Mr, Jones shook hands with Mr. Smith, told him how glad he wag they had met, and, directing his family to fol- low him, he started on down the Midway for his train. Soon both familes were on their trains, ready for their journey to begin. Suddenly, just a few minutes before the train was due to leave, Mrs. Smith remembered that she had neglected to give some cough medicine to her little 7-year-old boy, Char- lie. She took a bottle from a valise, and, pouring something from it into a spoon called © Charlie. A lad responded an slipped to Mrs. Smith’s side. She looked into his face and dropped the medicine to the floor. She gasped, turned pale and screamed. “That ain’t our Charlie,’’ she declared. “He’s one of the Jones family.’ Then she fainted. Smith grasped the situation quickly, and dashed from the car In pursuit of the Jones family. He had the Jones boy in his arms. Meanwhile, another episode, fully as excit- ing as that in which Mrs. Smith had fig- ured, was taking place in the Jones train. A lad supposed to be Charlie Jones was suddenly seized with a violent cramp in his stomach. He cried and moaned so pitifully that Mrs. Jones was moved to place t baby in the custody of one of her daugh- ters and turn her attention to comforting hi m. “Come to mamma, darling,’ she said af- fectionately, as she extended her arm to im. Charlie had his head tn his hands sobbing as though his agony was kill him, but he arose from his seat and toddied to his supposed mother. ‘Let mamma kiss her little boy and that will make him weli,” said Mrs. Jones. @fiartie removed his hands from his face, snuffed his nose and put out his lips tow- ards mamma. Mrs. Jones’ eyes opened wide in wonder as she looked at Charlie. Then she jumped to her feet and exclaimed: ‘My boy is gone with the Smiths and they have left us their Charlie. He was so muc nicer and they took him away."”’ And ehe did just what Mrs. Smith had done upon making the same discovery— fainted. But.Mr. Jones was equal to the occasion and, grabbing the young Smith fn his arms, started for the Smith train. By great good fortune he met Smith running wildly about the Midway with the Jones boy in his arms. He ran to him, and the reting of the two men was a joyful one. They urriedly exchanged burdens and apologies and rushed back to their trains, catching them just on the second they were leaving. The North Wind Does Blow. Keep it off.

LONDON, Dec, 15.—M. Delcasse, the French Minister of For- eign Affairs, is ‘reported here as having said in an interview in Paris: “T don’t believe the rumors that after the Transvaal war the British will attack France, but if so, she will find resolute adver- saries. Regarding Morocco, I have said that France has no in- tention to take it herself, nor allow any one else to take it. As for a Russian-French alliance, I have said their relations were never so full of confidence as now. “Apropos European solidarity, from the point of view of a naval war with Great Britain, there is solidarity ‘between al] States, Europe’s fleet may be destroyed, but if it takes six years to re- constitute an army, it takes a quarter of a century to reconsti- tute a navy. ‘Therefore, if Great Britain succeeded in Septrozing a fleet like ours, it would be all the more easy for her to dea afterward with weaker fleeis “ven if solidarity thus created does not exist, Great Britain knows we are not simple enough to allow our navy to be de- stroyed.

NEW YORK, Dec 15.—An eclipse of the moon Saturday even- ing is promised for those parts of North America and Europe where the weather is favarable for observation. . The first emcroachment of the earth’s shadow on the luner disc | should occur at 6:45 o’clock, seventy-fifth merician time. But it will probably be 10 or 15 minutes later before the outline of the moon is perceptibly affected. The shadow will creep further and further on to the moon until at 8:26 o’clock the greatest degree of obseuration will be reached. The astronomers speak of this eclipse as ‘partial’ because only 996-1000 of the surface will be hid, according to their calculations, but imasmuch as that remaining 4-1000 is an exceedingly small fraction, it may be essumed that to one without a powerful glass could see the very thin line left un- covered.. To all appearance the eclipse will be a total one for a few minutes, just before and just after 8:26 o’clock, seventy-fitth meridian time. The shadow will then slowly pass off, and at 10:06 o'clock the moon will again be altogether clear. REMEMBERS ALL HIS FRIENDS. The Will of W. G. Saunders Gives Something to Everyone !

David Jameson Patterson, pastor of the Second United Presbyterian church of Brooklyn, is dead at his home in that borough, aged 8 years. He was licensed as apreacher in 1846, and traveled on horesback from Ohicago through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, New York and Vermont. To his Brooklyn congregation he was known as “Father Patterson,’ and as the father of the Presbytery. He was versed in astronomy and archaeology, was a stro advocate of temperance and d an intimate acquaintance wit Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Syrac and Arabic. Rev. Dr. Warren Randolph.

The shopgirl, seamstress, housemald, are as scrupulous in regard to these three car- dinal ints as the mistress in her XIV. boudoir. But on this side of the water, where it costs half a week’s wages to get one's hair dressed by an artist, few of us learn the correct way of approaching those beauti- ful arrangements known as French twists, the figure eight and the coll. It is, therefore, with particular pleasure that I avail myself of Mr. R. H.

I have never been so done up as after a struggle in the at- ihe i Wwiel. tempt to “do up” my unmanageable locks after a new fashion. The first thing to be accomplished, as we know, is to make a fastening. There are four ways of doing this—the bind, the plait, the ‘“8’’ and the twist. To make the bind take a piece of ribbon about 16 inches long. Hold the hair in the left hand with the thumb on top. The hair should be well combed and straight. One end of the ribbon must be placed under- neath the thumb, after: which it ‘should be twisted round and round the hair close up to the head. The ends of the ribbon should then be tied. In the twist the hair can be fastened without interfering with the parting. The hair for this purpose should be twisted for about three or four inches and Hhift up straight after ae divided into« two portions, one being held by the left hand while the right makes a half turn, form- ing a ring, as seen in the picture.

Rucker, president of the United States Monetary ‘League, and authorized by the Governor as a representative of Colorado, has gone East to bring a test case of the standing of sli- ver and of the right of demonetigation un- der the Constitution of the United States. The suits against the Government has been begun by an action in Denver. It comes up by the United States Monetary League giving the State of Colorado as a present a silver brick, repreeenting $100 at par ratio. The Treasurer of the State has formally presented the brick to the State. The State, thereupon, sends the brick to the United States Mint at Washington, with the de- mand that it be coined into 100 silver dolara, ‘This demand, of course,” says Mr. Ruck- er, “‘will be refused. Upon the refusal, suit will be entered in the United Stated Su- preme Court, demanding that the builion be coined,”’ In brief, the Supreme Court must pass on these claims: Firet—That the Constitution places both precious metals, gold and silver, on an equal basis aS money.

HE NEW LEAGUE WILL SIMPLY SERVE TO INCREASE ITS AREA. ne ee ee WINNING TEAMS SINCE 1890. This Year’s Race So Far Has Been One- Sided, but Better Things Are Promised From This On. There can be no doubt but that two as- Bociation football leagues in St. Louis will Stimulate interest in that game, increase its areas and make new patrons for it. The association game now played is the most interesting of all the winter out-door Sports, and it should have a far larger list of patrons than it has now. he new organization’ will make new friends for the game and so increase the partonage that the leading contests will be Witnessed by far larger crowds than see them now. The association game is nearly ten years old in so far as its birth in St. Louis is concerned, but it is not much farther ad- vanced than it was in 1898, when the first asociation league was formed in this city. Indeed, the game was perhaps better off in 1890 than it is now, for then a six-club league flourished, where the present lead- vevd ae organisation can only boast of four The League of 1890 consisted of six clubs, and the Kensingtons won the pennant thar S€ason, am] again the following one, but in the season of 1892-93 the Blue Bells took it away from them, Later on a rival agsociation, known as the. Sodality League, was formed, when the St. Teresas first became prominent. They won the pennant two seasons in suc- cession. After the close of that season the cham- ore of the rival organizations contested or, supremacy, and the St. Teresas won from the St. Lewrence O’Tooles in what was said to have been the greatest game ever played in America or Evrope, the score being one goal to nothing—and the one g0al was made just in whe nick of time before the limit expired: at was gin 1893, and the next year the St. Teresas “defeated the Diels, champicns of the other association, by a score of 2 to 1. The following year the rival associations consolidated into a six-club league, and again the invincible St. Teresas finished first. In 1896 the St. Teresas withdrew, and the Cycles won, but in the finals were de- feated by the St. Teresas aS mentioned heretofore. In 1897 the Association was formed of the Cycies, St. Teresas, Shamrocks and the Cap pels. The Cycles won from the St. Teresas, the Shamrocks finishing third and the Cappelis fourth. Last season the As- ation clubs were the Shamrocks, the Cagpols, the Cycles and the St. Teresas, but after the season opened the last naméd club was replaced y the West Ends, which, however, contained all of the St. Teresas’ players.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—At the rate at which the National League is doing the work, it will not be completed for several days to come, From present appearances it is scarcely probable that the annal winter meeting will have been completed by Saturday it may run into next week. "Tt le : ble, yes,” said one magnate to-day, “that the league may adjourn until next spring without having decided many of the questions before it. “There are matters under consideration that are of such importance to the general weifare of the national game that we are simply compelied to handle them. with tne utmost care. To hurry matters along faster is impossible. The honor and in- tegrity of baseball, to a certain extent, are at stake. At the proper time the public will be made acquainted with what we have been doing, but at the present time absolute secrecy will be maintained.,’’ The board of directors again monopolized things last night as it did on Wednesday. For six hours the board was im executive session. At the conclusion of the meeting, President Young said: ‘Tine board of directors has completed its labors and ¢leared up all the business before ft. What action has been taken or what matters were discussed at Thurs- day’s session cannot be made public. The oabiio will get all the information neces- sary when the board makes its report to the league meeting to-morrow.” - Mr. Yeung announced that another meet- ing of the national board of arbitration had been called for to-day. At the con- clusion of its session the reguiar meeting of the league wi.l be convened. The fact that another meeting of the board of ar- bitration has been called is a significant fact, and it was whispered about the Fifth Avenue Hotel that the directors would re- quest the national board to reconsider cer- tain questions. ' When pressed upon the subject one mag- nate said: ‘“‘The national board thas been called together to consider some new mat- ters that have arisen. What these matters are I cannot say.’’ When asked if the national board would be asked to review its action in the New York-BrooklynrSyracuse wrangle over Wrigley, the magnates maintained a dis- creet silence.

Opinion as to the reduction seheme is | divided among the outsiders. Some believe that the circuit will be cut at all hazards, while others beHeve that the league will go on next season with 12 clubs. Still oth- | ers, say that two clubs, Louisyille and Cleveland, will be dropped, Dr. Lee Hunt Stuckey, the controlling | spirit of the Louisvilles, says that his. franchise is in the hands of the league. He will continue or get out at their pleas- ure. Dr. Stuckey proposes that the league control and hold his framchise, and, in re- turn, give him a certain percentage of the | gross receivts. It is said that the board of arbttration will soothe the minor leagues by agreeing to raise the draft price from $500 to $1000. That Fred Clarke will manage the new Pittsburg team is now/a settled fact Patsy Donovan, the former manager, and ‘President Dreyfus had a conference Thureday, at the conclusion of which Dreyfus promised an unconditional release, oneviaine Clarke agrees. .
