At the tour Lincoln-Kansas Cltv games the crowd numbered over 11,000. Ono of the days was cold nnd damp nnd another cloudy. The weather in the west has been perfectly terrible. The oldest inhabitant can hardly remember to have seen two successive sun shiny days. The Lincoln people are inclined to think thut Dave Howe ought to lay aside his dignity and his boiled shirt nnd got out In the sun nnu hustle himself. Ed Piniigan started out well wrtti Lincoln. Ho has been hitting the ball very hard , but ho complains that his Health has been poor lor several months. So Ilnvmond nnd Mockln are on the black list ! When the American association comes back to the fold , the players will not find this n very funny matter. Duluth may turn out well for n while , but people will soon tire of a losing team. Watkins - kins must strengthen up If ho expects people to patronize the team liberally. Low Whistler ought to be ashamed of him self for playing such rotten ball. It is true he is out. of his place at short stopbut should do bettor with the s.ttck. Now , Low ! President Soden wears spit curl lilacs Just below his oars. Speaking from a whiskery standpoint the genial Boston president is not in the hairy swim with Palmer O'Noll. Captain Billy Nnsh Is trotting good work out of the Boston team. The boys think they have an excellent show for the pennant nud feel sure of landing number one or two. Reports from the west hnvo it that "Old Man" Anson was very mud in Now York.

Few pitchers' games have been plavod lu the Western association tnls season. Every body is finding the ball , and this , together with sharp fielding , is the reason for the en thusiasm shown by the baseball public. All these stupid btorles published about the Plttsburg club going to roleiuo " l'OOJ worth" of players and sign Shugnrt are false. Only enemies of the national game can circulate such fabrications as these. Nothing but prnUo Is heard for the outllold of the Milwaukee team. With eld reliable Dalrymplo hi left und tbo two sprinters , Burke and t'ettlt , In center aud right , few Inu got past them unless they go over the Icnco.

If wo recollect right , Eddie does not co toward Irvington quite often. Flcschcr , Wertz and Pixlcy did no ( go to York. They give sickness as nn excuse , but If tbo truth were known they nro a little ufiv.hl of Mocket , who will bo there in full battle array. Flescher has bought himself n now racing machine.

Butter is very rare in the Paraguayan capital , because the peasants will not at tend to their cows , lead thorn to good pasture , and work-n churn , writes Theo dore Child in Harper's Monthly. At Asuncion wo have soon the COWP turned out into the street to graze , whore there is next to nothing to oat. At Villa C'on- copcion the case is the same , wliorous if tlio cows were led half a mile to the edge of tlio town they would find abun dant pasture and giv'o good milk. This is only ouo instance out of a thousand. Take , again , these old and young women wo saw squatting in the market , with little scraps of produce spread out before thorn. Suppose they sell this for ten cents , they have enough to buy mate , tobacco , mandloca. which are their chief ailments , and thus they keep the household going with the help of oranges , that lie in many places a foot deep on the ground. A caustio observer hus said that the Paraguayan peasant lives on mate and the smell of a greased rag. TJiHtgronbod rag is an ex aggeration. MiitOj mandloca , tubacco , sugar cane , orangey arid cana rum as a luxury , such iirontho ordinary and ex traordinary article's of consumption. With poor food "t&ali as this , the men are naturally wfjjlu' and indolent ; and being at the same tipio the lords of crea tion , they puss tlitHi ; lives in meditative laziness , and luuv < ? the women to do what little work'iisJ absolutely required to keep a roof ovtif 'their ' heads. These Paraguayan ? , pCfar and ignorant as they may bo , aro'pfdud ' and susceptible ; they never say VWAn' ' y ° u oxcapt " formula of rofiibi4jit ; is useless to order thorn about ; thoytuiust bo treated with gentleness and iwptmusioii , as nquals , . und oven then not ftluuh can bo got out of them. So 1 wilS old by a dozen men who have had vurMf , experience in the country. The od.ucated Paraguayans themselves admit this much , but , with out notable di&auurovul ; u"d with an impatient click of the tongue- against the teeth , and much writhing and shrugging of nock an/I shoulders , they will protest against Americanism , progress - gross , and doing things quickly , "It is not in the character of thu nation , " they will say. "It is in our nature to go on slowly , qulotly , without etfort ; and for tune comes to us almost while wo are sleeping. " Money Making. During the past year 1U2 tons of gold , ! tS8 tons of dilvor and 74 tons of copper were cast into bars by the British mint. They were In turn converted into B8OUO- , 000 coins , of which n.fiOO.OOO were rejected - jocted for deficiencies In weight and other reasons.

Drowning Oriaf In Moor. Ucor us an emblem of mourning may bo n now notion to most renders. But interesting correspondence from Berlin tolls how the students there drank a solemn "Trauor-Snlamandor" in emn - memory of Count von Moltke to the solemn "Elnz , zwol , drol'1 of the pastor of a local church , who was master of coro- Inqnics. , Customs differ. A minister of the gospel la this country would scarcely stand up nnd give the word for a bcor-drlnking match ntnong a lot of college students. Yet Germany is n grout country and pro duces great men. And , as has been noted , hundreds of times before , and ns is OUCH moro pointed out by your corro- Hpondcnt , there is lew drunkenness in Berlin than In Now Yorlc loss in Ger many tlmn in thq United States.

A Philadelphia shoo merchant says that two years ago a man came into his olllco in tlio last stages of alcoholic de cline , apparently , and exhibited an invention which would revolutionize men's shoo fasteners and make a fortune for some one. It was some sort of an arrangement will oh closed nil the but tons at once by the turn of an invisible lever , and was as much an improvement on the old methods as the lever skate is upon the old-fashioned kind. That was the lirst and the last the merchant over HIIW of man or model , and ho is wonder ing now if the inventor's secret wont into a grave in potter's Hold. Ho can not in the loist recall the manner of working the fastening. Costly AVill Contests. The way in which lawyers and courts absorb estates is shown by the annihila tion in six years of the properly left by a well-to-do farmer of Ancora , N. .1. Ho devised $12,000 to the purpose of dis seminating Henry George literature and $5,000 to his wife The stops now about to bo taken in the legal proceedings are for an order to show cause why the executors should not pay $31K , all that is left of the $12,000 to Ilonry George and an application by the widow for 82'Jitho ( remains of her share , which will make the sum she has had out of the $5,000 $2,087. All the rest has gone in law ycrs' fees and court charges. Dir. T. FELIX < : ontAtir.'i ; OHIKNTAI.
