The statement comes from a sup posedly authoritative source that no steps toward a llnal settlement of the Tebenu matter will bo taken by the League until tho annual meeting of the League directors in October, when the dire will come up for formal discus sion. How the uise will llnnlly be ad judicated can now only bo giieshod at. President Hyrne. ot tho Hrooklyn elub, who has hitherto remained silent, Is now quoted by the New York Sun us s.ilng: "The League's board of dl icctors had no jurisdiction f 11 4 ho innt pr, nnd could not constitutionally in flirt thnt line.

At tho mil mooting ot the League hi Chicago this enso will cause a big argument. Tho League as a body might by a majority voto cciisuro Te heau, and Killen, too. for that mntter, as the kilter's ofTcnee tho other dny In Cincinnati was Just us bad as tho (jfrvolaud player and order them to pay fines. Hut as thorn Is nothing In tho League's constitution to empower tho directors to rule In Biich matters the decision In Tobeau's case l.iny be turned down. At nny rate theio will bo n hot tight over tbo matter." It Is now hinted that, as a sop to public opinion and to cover nny retreat In the Tehran case, tbo League will probably make hoiiio new rules providing for Bo veto punishment for players who In dulge In pugilistic encountcis on the Held and are arrestPd and fined In the police courts. A Nnw Vork I'ljr. Frank II. Connnughton, of tho New York ten in, wus born January 1, 180'). at Clinton, Mass., and It was at his nntlvo place that ho learned to play ball. Ho was connected with several prominent nmateiir teams at Clinton, and his bard hitting nnd excellent work behind the bat led to his first pro fiHstounl engagement, in 1MM, with tho W'oonsockot club, of the New England league. Connnughton began the season of 1892 with tho l'awtucket team, and remained thero until tho club was dis banded, when ho finished the season F. H. CONNAUOHTON. with tlie Lewlston, (Me.) club. In 1893 Manager Manning signed him for his Savannah team, of the Southern Icnguo, and ho remained there until that league disbanded, when ho returned north and finished out tho season with tho Lewlston club, of the Now Hng land league. In .lanuary, 1894, Con nnughton signed with tho Hoston club, of the National Ieaguo and American association, as one of Its catchorsf ami during the following reason he took part in 'M championship contests, In :i' of which he filled tho short stop's position In a very creditable mnnncr. At tho beginning ot the season of 1805 Hoston released him to Kansas City, for which club ho did such brilliant work as short stop that the New York club, In the fall of '95, purchased bis release. Connnughton is r.ft. ain. tall, and weighs about 105 pounds. He has played In all the lull Id nnd outlleld positions, as well as behind tho bat during his career, and has always ranked high as a batsman. "oll h I.IvIhr I'liturm. There was quite a time over at tho Hotel North, In Chicago, where the Colts and their families were domicile! the other evening. Having nothing to do.

The greeting on Monday morning had the peculiar Intonation that In dicates a suspicion of a prolonged search for relaxa tion on Sunday and Its subsequent ef fect on the nervous system, says the New York Time-?. "Look tired! 1 am tired, and I'm cross nnd ugly. Do I look ns If I bnd been attacked by nervous dyspepsia, almost exhausted by St. Vitus' danre nnd then left on the rack for hours?" "Well, not quite that, old man." "Then I'm In luck. The fact of the matter is that I was out of the house only three hours yesterday and then 1 went to Harlem and back In tho cable ears. They were tho only restful hours I had between early In the morning and midnight. Why? Hecausc I was the victim of the conlldence of two of my neighbors who hae closed their premies and gone to the country and have left servants lu charge. Do you catch on? Well, some of your funny friends on tho press don't come any where near the actual facts when they bring out every year tho pen-worn descriptions of the antics of servants during the absence of families. If my neighbors' servants would dress up In the ilnerles of their mistresses, and occupy the parlors. I wouldn't mind, because the damage would bo to the feelings of those who should bo concerned, but when they In vite their sisters, cousins, aunts and nearer relatives to jamborees In tho rear yard or basement and disturb my peace of mind I'm ready to kick. "The rear of my hout-e Is about thir ty feet from the side of a large apart ment house that has tenants that are as quiet as they can be, usually. My fa vorite room Is In the rear, because it is cool and shady there. My suffering began lu the morning while reading the papers and I thought they wouldn't last long, but 1 didn't know the mean ing of servants' Invitations. The unlet old gentleman who cloccd the apart ments In the second story and went with his wife and daughter about a month ago. leaving a servant in charge, would have been suiprl?ed If he had le lurned unexpectedly yestordny. I Judg ed from the conversation that the serv ant bad Invited her brother and hlster and two cousins to spend the day with her In very nicely furnished rooms, be cause they took possession of the par lor and proceeded to make themselves comfortable. The young men were in thelrshlrtsleeves, and they appreclte l the test fill qualities of the lounge) by drawing them to tho windows and gathering nil of the sofa pillows they could find nnd stretching out at full length on them. Hetween snatches or ill the new tunes of tho variety halls were remarks on the eerentilclllos of the tenants. One found a French text book and tried to Instinct the others lu the pro nunciation of French. Another who thought he had the voice of an elocu tionist recited from one of the class ics that tho old gentleman prized. Magazines and Illustrated periodicals miusod them for awhile. The mixture of slang nml good literature was not very edifying. After lunch they tuiu 'd to gossip and the details of plcnlo on previous occasions. The laughter and loud talking Jarred one's nerves, md 1 think I would be willing to pay i month's rent for the old gentleman If ho had returned and found tho party In possession. I couldn't read and I ;ould hardly wrle a letter and my wife -euldn't get her usual afternoon doze. Late In the afternoon the visitors went way and I thought we would have a pilot ovpnlng, but Hint's where I made i mistake. "My wife remained itf home, but I went out for a breath of air. When I returned I henrd the most exasperating noises from the basement ami yard of tho Iimibo adjoining. The eervants In charge there had Invited their friends or relatives to spend the evening, nnd tho way they carried on wns disgrace ful. Tho fact that tho front of tbo house was dark with drawn curtains was no Indication thnt liveliness should not bp expected behind tho gloom. The contrast of tho quietness in June, be fore tho family departed, with tho nolslnes.) In July wns romnrknble and suggestive, Tho speeches, congs and remarks could not have been louder If tho company had occupied an enst shlo tenement. The dtsiurbnnco Insted until midnight. Perhnps you don't wonder now thnt I look tired." The exporlenco may bo suggestive to Uouso-owiicrs and tenants who do not realize that they may lenvo behind op portunities for disagreeable nnd objec ttonnblo behavior. It may be said that servants should bo allowed to have somo fun, but It Is doubtful whether tholr mnsters and mistresses would knowingly permit thorn to havo that fun elsewhere than tho neighborhoods they aro willing to seek nt otlior times, Tho reflection on the behavior of somo servants should not bo applied to all. Tho servants that have respect for the fnmllles thoy servo are quiet nnd orderly and they aro as observant of tho requirements of a respectable local ity as nny one could desire. They aid in tho solution of the tervant question. Tho outbreaks of others make the solu tion inoio difficult, t4Br THEIR BONES GO HOME. I.lTely Truile In thn f)lllinn'nt of l1 " Cliliiiiiiinn. The bones of every Chinaman who dies In this country are sent back to the celestial omplie for Interment, says the Now York World. They are shipped In large boxes from San Francisco un der the designation or "llih-hono" nt the rate of $1!0 n ton. This fisb-bono llctlon la lu order to evado the rule of the steamship companies, which charge full passenger rates for tho transportation of dead bodies. Nearly every Chinaman who comes heie Is under the enro of the Six Companies. Thoy sign n contract guaranteeing to letuin the bones of the dead for'burlal with those of their ancestors. On every steamer leaving San Francisco thorn are Invalid Chinese stepragn pahHongprs who hope to live until they leach their native country. An agree ment exists between the Six Compa nies and the steamship managers which forbids the burial of these Chinamen should they die at se.i and the Six Companies furnish colllns of the pecu liar Chinese pattern for use In such emergencies. "When a Chinaman dies at sea his body is embalmed, placed In i sealed colli n nnd lowered Into the bold. The expense Is paid by the other Clunesu passengers nnd stewards of the ship, all of whom belong to that race1. When the ship reaches Hong Kong the rofllus are delivered to tho Tung Wah hospital, which gives them to the surviving friends In China. Kvcry Chinaman among us Is supposed to he registered at the Tung Wah hos pital and with the Six Companies til San Francisco. I.iinrlilnu- on Ree I'limptjiile. "On the broiling days," says a busy woman, "food Is very distasteful. I find myself Ignoring luncheon hour, and then In the middle of tho nfternoon an exhausted in consequence. One neetls nourishing food through such strain of weather, but not heating food. If I cannot eat at noon I at least go out and get an egg phosphate. Thero is both nourishment and a little stimulant In this drink. 1 take care to go to a place where I can see the fresh ftgu broken Into the glass, which I find more appetizing and nourishing than tho extract used at some sodn fountain counters. About fi o'clock I get a ine. ond one, and in this way I get through n broiling day with comfort. Two row eggs, I find, are Milllcicnt nourishment from breakfast to dinner, both of which meals I force myself. If the Incli nation Is lacking, to partake of. Phy sicians say that systems weakened b fasting succumb easily to tbo effects of heat, but, on the other hand, hot meals in the middle of the day for one who must go on working through the heat of the afternoon aro not to be rec ommended. It seems to me the egg phosphate diet solves the problem." rrii;rrtn I In m in on ' rurtlri. A progressive hammock parly Is something now. At one recently given In a smaller Wisconsin city each guest upon arrival was presented with a tiny hair square or cardboanl on which was written one-half nf some chosen sub ject. Partners were found by match ing these cards, the man having tho lat ter half of the oubject being privileged to sit for live minutes with the r.lrl who held the first part of the subject. The lawn presented a ery pretty pic ture, hung as It was with Chinese lan terns and hammocks and having ing- spread over the grass. Over each ham mock hung a card-board each bearing n line. The couple whose card bore the same Inscription as that abovo the hammock occupied that particular one. Among tho subjects were: An Ideal Hoy, An Ideal fiirl, Love Spoons Mnti Chaperons. Kach man converse! for five minutes upon ono subject, nnd then progressed to the next hammock where conversation upon another topic was renewed. After each hammock had been visited the girls voted ns to which man had entertained them In the Ues nanncr, and ho won the prize. PECULIAR PHRASES. A coi oner's Jury In Malno reported that "Deceased eamo to his death by excessive drinking, producing apoplexy In the minds of tho Jury." An old French lawyer, writing of an estate ho had just bought, added: "There Is n chapel upon It In whloh my wire nnd I wish to bo burled, If dod spares our lives." On a tombstone In Indiana Is tbo following Inscription: "This monu ment was erected to the memory of John Jlnklns, accidentally shot ns a mark of affection by his brothor." A Michigan edltor received some pi-bob not long ago with tho following noto ot explanation: "These linos wore wiltten fifty years ngo by one who has, for a long time, slept In his grave more l.v for pastime." A certnln politician, lately condemn ing tho government for Its poLt. eat coming the income tax, 'u rep.-rVd tj havo said: "They'll keep cutting the wool off the sheep that lays the golden eggs until they pump It dry." A morchant who died suddenly loft lu his bureau a letter to ono of bis cor respondents which ho bnd not sealed. His clerk, seeing It necesaary to send the letter, wrote at tho bottom, "Slnco writing the abovo I havo died." An orator at ono of tho university unions boro off the palm when bo do elared that "the Hrttlsh Hon, whether It Is roaming tho deserts of India ot climbing tho foreata of Canada, will nut draw In Ha horns nor retire Into its shell." "A reporter In describing tho mur der of a man named Jorkln said: "Tho murdorjd wan evidently In quest ot money, but. luckily, Mr. Jorkln had deposited all his funds la tho bank the day before, so that he lost nothing but bis life," ' f rm-vnr "zr&.
