LIFE.w.K.VANDEEBILT TROTS A HOT PACE IN PARIS, HIS WIFE NOW WANTS TO SUE FOR A DIVORCE.pig Sums of Money Spent on Nellie Neustrotter\u2014Some Faots Cone cerning That Person, _\u2014 New York, Aug.30,~1he statement pub- fished in a morning paper that Mrs.W.K.Vanderbilt is about to begin separation or divorce proceedings has not, it is alleged, caused surprise in circles where the relations of the pair have been known.\u2018that they have not lived hanno- niously the last two years has heen the possip of fashionable circles tor some time.\u2018The crisfs in their afairs, according to the Commercial Advertiser, was reached immediately after the runnin of the Grand Prix de Paris, June 17 oi this year.\u201cMr.Vanderbilt,\u201d says the authority, won 40,000 francs on the race and aj.most immediately after receiving his winnings was introduced to a woman well- known for her beauty and numerous following among the lights in swelldom.This person was Nellie Neustrotter.She fascinated the millionaire and as an evidence of his appreciation of her company he presented her with the 40,000 francs, so openly, that several friends saw the unusual occurrence and remonstrated with him.\u201cThe story of how he fitted up a mag- niticent establishment for her in Paris, and subsequently gave her a residence at Deanville with servants and every luxury she desired is true.lt shocked and surprised the American residents of Paris, but Mr.Vanderbilt was so open in his attention as to huzzie everybody.Dne of the most surprising things he did was to allow the servants of Nellie Neus- trotter TO WEAR THE SAME LIVERY as that worn bv Mrs.Vanderbilt's servants.This fact has been noticed and commented upon by every peraon who saw her and her equipages in Paris and Deanville.\u201d New York, Aug.30.\u2014The World to-day Will say:\u2014 The rupture in the domestic relations of Mr.and Mrs.William K.Venderbilt has reached the point of separation, with talk of divorce.Mrs.Vanderbilt is a woman with a very strong will.She objected to members of the yachting party going ashore and staying all night, or even later than ten o\u2019clock in the evening.When the gentlemen wanted to play poker, Mrs, Vanderbilt always insisted that one of them should stay out of the game to entertain her.They used to cut the cards for the sacrifice.Mr.Cornelius Vanderbilt went over to Paris hastily to patch up matters, and the story is that he met William K, his brother, with whom he has great influence, and hearing his story, secured from him a promise not to make the details of his difference with his wife public.Mr.Cornelius Vanderbilt also saw Mrs, Ww.K.Vanderbilt and heard her story.He made every effort to bring about a reconciliation, but failed In everything except the stopping of divorce proceedings, It is the general impression on this side of the water that MRS.VANDERBILT WILL NOT SEEK A DIVORCE and I have heard that Mr.Cornelius Vanderbilt has a promise from William X., that he will not attempt a proceeding of that nature on his own behalf.There has for several years been more or less talk in society here and at Newport concerning both William K.Vanderbilt and Mrs.Vanderbilt.He has been fond of yachting and pleasure generally and naturally would excite comment on account of his great wealth and habit of travelling from place to place, sometimes with and often without Mrs.Vanderbilt.Mrs.Vanderbilt is fond of society and greatly admired by women as well as men.She found pleasure in entertaining and at times in travel.Gossip did not amount to anything, however, until two year ago, when it was currently reported in Newport that Mr.Vander- hilt had decided to leave America and reside abroad, away from Mrs.Vanderbilt.At that time a friend of-Mr.Vander- pilt, in explaining his determination, said that Mrs.Vanderbilt was too exacting; that she demanded too much of him, and that he did not care to create a scandal if they could not agree.Several prominent law firms with whom the Vanderbilts are known to have had deulings at some tire or other, will not affirm or deny that they have been consulted by either Mr.or Mrs.Vanderbilt on the question of the trouble between them.The Vanderbilts, according to another afternoon paper, have lived apart since early last spring.Mrs.Vanderbilt has spent the summer in England at an extensive estate on the Thames, near London, which had been rented for her while Mr.Vanderbilt has spent his time in Paris.It is alleged that when, some time ago, a tentative agrecment of separation was reached, Mr.Vanderbilt agreed to settle upon his wiie $10,000,- 000.THE WOMAN IN THE CASE, She Mas a Continental Record\u2014Eariy Training in the West.San Francisco, Aug.30.\u2014Nellic Neus- trotter, the young woman who is said to be the cause of the family troubles of William K.Vanderbilt, is well-known, here.She is a native of Eureka, Nev.was educated at Miles Seminary, Alameda County, resided for a number of years in San Francisco, and has frequently figured in escapades that have won her notoriety, both in the new and old world.She was born 29 or 30 years ago in Eureka, where her father, Ben Cohen, kept a clothing store, and became wealthy.Pretty, witty, graceful and vivacious, she Possessed all the requisites for the breaking of hearts.Her first victim was the nephew of a well-known capitalist, Then she went to San Francisco.Among her admirers was a wealthy Hebrew named Rothschild, who laid himself find his fortune at her feet.She utilized them until she fell in love with a cigar drummer named Henry Neustrotter.She married Neustrotter in 1884, and dll went well for a time.But during her hus.nand\u2019s absence Nellie led a fast life, SHE WAS TIE BOON COMPANION of all the fast youngmen about town, ; nirht as well ily MONTREAL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 31, 1894.and the end came in 1887.She left her husband and went to New York in company with Laura Edeclemen, a noted woman of Los Angeles.Neustrotter secured a divorce, and Nellie continued to lead a gay life in New York.She captured the heart of a millionaire manufacturer, who gave her a sumptuous flat, horses and carriages, and all the money she could spend.He took her to Europe, where she travelled like a Princess.When she returned to New York, she dazzled the people with the clegance of her Worth dresses, and the brilliancy of her jewels, In 1890, she returned to San Francisco to visit her parents, who had removed to this city from Eureka.She took rooms at a lIcading hotel, dressed better than any woman in town.Her money began to give out, and she went back to New York for more, taking with her a pretty Oakland girl.The next that was heard of her was that she had gone to Europe again, and had been ejected from the Cone tinental Hotel in Paris.To ber parents she wrote that she was studying for the stare, and she always concealed from them the fact that she was leading a fast lile.She wrote that she would return to San Francisco in October next.MRS, WILLIAM K, VANDERDIELT- She Comes From a Proud 01d Southern Family Their Ten Residences, New York, August 30.\u2014Mrs William K.Vanderbilt is a handsome woman with beautiful golden hair and large Vue gray eyes, and although she is exceptionally exclusive those who know her say she is very gracious and charming to those whom she favors with her friendship.Mr.Vanderbilt, it is said, built the magnificent steam yachv Valiant to replace the wrecked Alva chiefiy to please her, as she is very fond of yachting, and it was to enable her to entertain lavishly, another of her pleasures, that the famous white marble palace on the Cliffs at Newport was built, Mrs.William K.Vanderbilt was formerly Miss Smith, of Mobile, the seat of culture and refinement of the South.The Smith girls were noted as Southern beauties, and made up in pure blue blood what they lacked in wealth, One of Mrs.Vanderbilt\u2019s sisters married Ferdinand Yzuaga, and another married Baron de Fonteuellial, a young Frenchman.Both displayed some eccentricities in their capacities as wives,which, it is understood, gave Mr.Vanderbilt much pain.Mrs.Yznaga secured a divorce and became the wife of George Tiffany, of Baltimore.The Baroness de Fouteuellial also applied for a divorce.\u201cIt makes cne smile,\u201d a well-known Southern woman said, in speaking about Mrs.Vanderbiit recently, \u201cto hear people class her with the \u2018Nouveaux riches.\u201d She has the blood of all the Howards in her veins, not that I mean she was a Howard, you know, but that is an old English saying, signifying the best of ancestors, She was a Smith, and the Smiths were one of the proudest old families in Mobile.lt was not a rich family, but it was not wealth with them, They gave you position.You can\u2019t buy these.People say that Lady Mandeville helped Mrs.Vanderbilt into society that the old Commodore was excluded from.But Lady Mandeville was a Southern girl herself.\"Then she became one of the most powerful society leaders of England.It requires ten tamily residences to accommodate the family of William K.Vanderbilt.The tenth is the costly marble palace erected at Newport a few years ago.This alone cost $1,000,000.Foreign decorations were brought over to put the finishing touches to it.They have residences on Long Island, a handsome mansion in the city and shooting preserves in Scotland.Euch establishment is complete in itself, with fine furniture and all the outfit necessary for a luxurious habitation.\u201d PURCHASE ILLEGAL.That is why Mayor Dagenais of St.Henri Will not Sign the Incinerator Contract.Mayor Dagenais smiled when he saw the Herald yesterday morning.He smiled on account of the report that proceedings were to Le taken to compel him to sign the contract tor an incinerator.He had not signed the contract and would not sign it.\u201cI have refused my signature,\u201d he said, \u201cin the first place because we have no movey to pay far this incinerator.We have reached the limit of our borrowing power and the interest charge on our debt already absorbs one half of our revenue.In the second place I thought that the incinerator purchased was too dear and not what we want.According to the contract, the Smith incinerator is to burn one ton of coal per dav.That, with wages, means an expenditure of 53,000 a year and St.Henri can not spend that much monay unless taxation is increased.The towns of Cote St.Antoine and of St.Cunegonde were inclined to come to an arrangement to contribute toward the erection of an incinerator, but a majority of our Councillors would wait for nothing.They wonld not call for tenders, they would not wait te see what arrangements could be made.1 cannot understand why they were in such a hurry, inasmuch as they all knew that there were several systems in Montreal.Why Mr.Gower, who acted as agent for the sale of the Smith incinerator to St.Henri, himself declared, when he was acting as expert for the city of Montreal, that this machine would require twenty-two tons of coal to consume fifty-five tons of garbage.That alone is a fact so serious as to have warranted the most careful investigation on the part of the Council.* At all events, I have consulted our City Attorney, and he has deciared that the purchase of the incinerator, when we have not the money available, is illegal.Any citizen can take an action to prevent the contract from being zarried out, and the Councillors who have voted for it can be held personally responsible for all expenditure already incurred.\u201d Notwithstanding the above, work has already been commenced on the foundations of the Smith incinerator.WELL! WELL! WELL!

proprietorship in all of the States and Territories.This is the first investigation of the kind ever conducted in any country.Of the 12,690,152 families in the whole country almost.48 per cent.own their farms and homes; the rest hire.Of the families owning farms and homes, almost 28 per cent.have incumbrances and over 72 per cent, have no incumbrance.The number of resident owners of land in the United States is 6,066,417, to which must be added any land owners who may be living in tenant families.The farm families number 4,767,179, of whicli 66 per cent.own their farms and the others hire.Of the owning families, over 28 per cent.have incumbrances on their farms.In 1880, 2,556 of the farms were hired.In the cities which contain over 100,000 population there are 1,948,834 home families, of which almost 23 per cent.own and 77 per cent.hire, while of the owning families, 38 per cent.own subject to in- cumbrances.Among the cities having 100,000 and over, New York has the highest percentage of home tenancy, namely 93.67; Boston is next with 81.57 per cent.; Brook- Iyn third with 81.44 per cent.The percentage for Baltimore is 73.94; Buffalo, 60.03; Chicago, 71.27.The smallest percentage,

as the meeting place of the fourth annual convention of the Christian Endeavor for the Province of Quebse.Richmond is peculiarly well adapted for such a purpose.In itself and surroundings it possesses some of the finest scenery in the province, with the beautiful St.Francis River flowing through it spanned by a magnificent steel bridge which connects it with the older town of Melbonrne a place of quaint and picturesque beauty.Richmond and surroundings may well lay claim to he pleasing to the eye, but when is added that the people arg open hearted and hospitable toa degree, one feels sure that the delegates will not only be charmed by its outward beauty, but made comfortable by the kindness cf the people.Richmond is central; three lines of railroad mecting here make it easy of access.Noecfforts are being spared by the various committees to make it the best Provincial Convention ever held.The great event of the Convention will be the appearance of Dr.Clark, the founder of the Society.He Las promised to be present and it 1s confidently expected that his presence will be a source of inspiration and information to his hearers.The success of the Convention will be in proportion to the manner in which the societies respond to the request for delegates.PARSON'S HEROIC RESCUE.[Special to tne Herald.] Kingston, Ont., August 30.\u2014Rev.C.O.Johnston, pastor of the

UNITE FRENCH CANADIAN SOCIETIES UNDER IT.DIFFICULTIES IN THE WAY\u2014AN- OTHER MEETING CALLED, President David Explains the Position of the Association Towards Workingmen.About a month ago the Herald pub- Lished interviews which showed that there was a scrious want of sympathy between the mass of our French-Cana- dia fellow citizens and the St Jean.Baptiste Society, in so far as the Monument National cnterprise is concerned.Last evening the officers of the Association were brought face to face with the fact exposed in these columns and it must be said that Mr.L.O.David, the president, showed a very great disposition to remove any cause of misunderstanding.The meeting had been called as a general meeting of all the French-Cana- dian benevolent societies to consider the plan of a general federation, under the auspices of the St.Jean-Baptiste Association, About thirty gentlemen, including the oflicers of the »t.Jean- Baptiste Association responded to the call.Nevertheless Mr, David, who took the chair, thanked those present for their attendance and explained his plans.The {fundamental object oi the St.Jean-Baptiste Association, he said, was to maintain and extend the French-Canadian nationality.The founders of the society, however, had, provided in the act o, incorporation, that the Association would have the privilege of establishing a benefit and insurance fund.This right had not been used and now other societies such as de St, Joseph, the Artisans, the St.Pierre and the Alliance Nationale occupied the field.It could not be the object of the St.Jean-Baptiste Association to enter into competition with these excellent societies, and it did not propose to do so.But the St.Jean-Baptiste Associa tion must have assistance to complete the great work of the Monument National, but to whom could it apply but to those benevolent associations, They claimed to be patriotic societies, having the same aims as the St.Jean- Baptiste Association, Then let them assume their share of Durden, The Monument National, when completed, would give a revenue of $20,- 000 or $25,000 a year, With such an income, what encouragement might be extended to French-Canadian writers and artists.How much talent was now wasted for lack of such encouragement?Colonization, too, and many other patriotic works could be promoted by the society.But therc was also another consideration, The St.Jean-Baptiste Society, he was quite willing to admit, did not possess the membership to give it influence.By Joining it, the benevolent societies would give it body, Later all the French-Canadian Societies on the continent might be induced to join the federation, and what a glorious day it would be when the representatives of all these societies would meet in a supreme council to discuss matters affecting the nationality.Coming down to practical matters, Mr.David said that every society, while retaining its name and autonomy, might be allowed to become a section of the St.Jean-Baptiste Association by paying a contribution of 25 cents per member.That would entitle it to send delegates to a supreme council, which would prepare the national celebrations, etc.It would give the privilege of using the halls of the association.Moreover the patronage of the St.Jean-Baptiste Society would no doubt induce many to join the societies forming part of the federation, in preference to others.That alone was a point which should appeal to the practical sense of every one.Mr.David sat down and called for expressions of opinion from those present, Mr.L.E.Morin, jr., representing the Union St.Pierre, said that he approved the idea of federation, but he saw obstacles in the way.The principal one was that he had often heard stated that workingmen were not admitted to the St, Jean-isaptiste Association.Mr.David said the idea was ridiculous.Mr.Seguin of the Socicte des Commis Marchands, however, said that he had often heard it stated in dircussions that workingmen were not eligible to positions on the Board of directors of the St.Jean Baptiste Associa- tson, and he was not in position to contradict the statement.The feeling created by these statements was no doubt the cause of the failure of many entertainments organized by the Association, and an explanation should be given, Mr.David replied to this, that when it was decided to build the Monument Nationale thoso whoïwere called upon to subscribe shares naturally required to know how their money would be administered.To give them satisfaction a Financial Commission had been created, and to be eligible on this Commission one must be the holder of at least 8100 of stock.That scemed reasonable, As to the directors of the Association proper, they were required to hold at least 820 stock in the Monument National.If this qualification was an obstacle to the federation ot the socictics, he, personally was quite willing that it should be abolished.After this explanation Ald.Grothe and Messrs.McGown, Cresse, J.C.Beauchamp Vincent, of St, Heuri, and Papineau, of the Alliance Nationale, spoke.They all desired to see the scheme carried out, but they all recognized that it would meet with much opposition.On motion of Mr.Cresse, seconded by Mr.D.Rolland, it was decided to invite all the societies to send a delegate to a conference which will elaborate a plan of union.This plan will afterwards be submitted to the various associations for ratification.Cut in Steerage Rates.New York, Aug.30.\u2014The Hamburg.American Line made another cut in steerage rates this

Delaying \u2014 Farther Postponement of the Case, The Alton F.Clerk case was resumed yesterday afternoon before Justice Sicotte.Mr.St.Jean accused the prosecution of keeping the ease dragging on as long as possible, and could not see the use of bringing up the Stock Exchange books.Mr.John Lowe suid he was not prepared to make a statement of the transactions in Street Railway stock from March 1st, 1893, to July 31st last.He would have to obtain the authority to make the statement, and he would then require to be remunerated for his work.This having been promised, he said he would make inquiries and report this afternoon.George H.Smithers, of Burnett and Co., stockbrokers, said that from the 1st to the 14th March, 1893, he had given back to Mr.Clerk 200 shares of Street Railway stock on which he had advanced him money.He knew that Mr.Clerk\u2019s financial embarrassment was spoken of among the brokers, and he appeared to have paid up the bulk of his stock during the months of April and May.Mr.St.Jean had only one question to ask.This was: \u201cWiil you state if, from the Ist March to the 27th July, 1893, Mr.Clerk held under his control through you 50 shares of the Montreal Street Railway, and if more, how much more ?\u201d Mr.Swmithers\u2014*\u201cWe always had fifty shares for Mr.Clerk between those dates, and sometimes a good deal more.For instance about April 30 he had 322; in May, 322; in June, 324, and on the 3lst July, 36:4.\u2018The enquete was adjourned until this afternoon.HIGH COURS OF FORESTERS.Sherbrooke, Que., Aug.30.\u2014The Convention of

Tairt\u2019s dry dock and has been watching for the person who appropriated his clothing some time.Kelso was seen wearing Dolan\u2019s boots yesterday aud on the strength of it was locked up, although

upon with nearly one-half of the proprietors interested in the widening of Notre Dame Street in that town, and the work of removing the houses is already commenced.Further progress will be delayed, however, by the fact that the borrowing powers of the own are exhausted.The result of the improvement, when completed, will be not only to widen but also to straighten the line of the street to a large extent.The Late Mrs.Euchan.The funeral of the late Mrs.J.S.Buchan took place yesterday afternoon from the residence 250 Mountain Street.The pallbearers were : À.À.Ayer, T.J.Claxton, John

PRIZE.NURSERY AND GRAND AGGREGATES AND GZOWSKI SCORES.A Splendid Day for Shooting and a Great Crowd in Attendance.[Special to the Herald.} Ottawa, Aug.30.\u2014This was almost a per- feet day for shooting on the Rideau Range.At times the wind was a little tricky, but beyond this there was nothing to complain of, The Kirkpatrick Match was procesded with at 8 o'clock.This match is for a Challenge Cup, presented for annual competition by Lieut.-Gov.Kirkpatrick, an ex- President of the Association, and 8704 added by the Association.There were two ranges to be fired at, 500 and 600 yards, with ten rounds at each range.There was some good scoring at 500 vards.Capt.Moore, of Lorne Rifles, Hamilton, made eleven consecutive bull's eyes, counting his sighting shot, thus registering a possible.Pte.Drysdale, of the Prince of Wales, Montreal, made nine consecutive bull's eyes and an inner, thus making 49 out of a possible of 50.To-day a petition is being gotten up asking the Executive to restore the Hamilton Powder Co.and MacDougall inatches to the grand aggregate.Another petition was asking the executive to arrange for another match to be included in making up the grand aggregate but not for prizes.Last year Sergt.Ogg, of Guelph, won the Kirkpatrick match, with a score of 93 points.Several 81's were then counted out.Gunner J.C.Chamberlain, of the British Columbia team, made a possible at 500 yards.He made 45 at 600 yards, thus making 95 out of a possible 100 at both ranges for the prize.It will take good shooting to beat this.Capt.Spearing, 53rd Sherbrooke, will Le head of the grand aggregate with 319, and Col.Sergt.Skeddan of the 13th, Hamilton second with 319.Lieut.Tom.Mitchell has 318.The latter will get the Rifle Military League cup with a score of

HAT.HE TELLS WHAT HE COULD po WITH JACKSON IF HE ONLY MET MIM IN THE RING.The Torcnto Lacrosse (lub Loscs an Old Time Supporter\u2014Ycsierday's Turf Events.Boston, Aug.30.\u2014Champion James J.Corbett, when asked: \u201cHow about Jack\" son?\u201d suid: \u201cThe Sioux City Club has offered a purse of 825,000 for a tight between us.Jackson says he wante them to deposit the amount in the bank to show that they are in earnest.They say they will deposit $3,000, which is enough to defray the training expenses and show that they are in earnest, but Jackson declines to accept this offer, claiming it is not enough money, That amount is large enough te suit me, and if Jackson would agree to it, we would begin now to train for the fight.\u201d \u201cDo you think Jackson really wants t° fight,\u201d was asked.\u201cI haven't the least idea that he would stand up in ring against me.He talks in his blutling way in order to advertise himself and his theatrical troupe.He knows well that it means a fortune to him it he wins the championship by beating me.If he thought he could lick \u2018me he would go down South or anywhere else in a minute, Don\u2019t you suppose he would get fair play in the South?Of course he would.If the crowd does not give him a fair show, doesn\u2019t he stand as much of a show as I do in getting the fight from the referee, who would be a square man.; \u201cSuppose the fight is interfered with and it js called a draw or XI don\u2019t get a chance to do him up.Won't the fact that he hes stood in the ring with me without getting knocked out be a great card for him for the months that will follow before another match is made; the best thing that could happen to him would be a fight in the South.He is afraid of me, though.He does not want to fight.It is useless for him to think of it.He has seen his best days.I know it by comparing his presence irom with what it was 4 vears ago when I foughs him to a draw.He has been deteriorating steadily since then, while I have been getting better all the time.\u201d Speaking of the abilities anda claims of Bob Fitzsimmons, Corbett said: \u201c\u2018 Steve O'Donnell, my sparring partner, has $10,000 to back up his assertion that he can whip Fitzsimmons to a standstill in a finish fight ab any time and place.Fitzsimmons has not yet done anything to entitle him to my notice.The first time that he does anything I shall be ready for him, never fear.If he should whip O'Donnell, then I would tackle him and give him all the fight he wants.\u201d Jackson Will Accept Fair Terms, New York, Aug.29.\u2014Peter Jackson left for Chicago to-night to attend to private matters in that city.He said he would accept any fair terms presented by the Sioux City Athletic Club, and would be ready to meet the Club\u2019s representative at any time.Peter expects to be away ten days, unless the Club wants him in the meantinie.BASEBALL.> .Jacob Stenzol of the Pittsburg team fumped into prominenco at tho end of lust season by earning the honor of leading batsman of the National league for 1893.The Cistinction was the more notable from the fact that he was a young blood who came among the veteran batsmen in the midst of tie season from a minor organization end was comparatively new to notable pitohers of the various League tcams.1 brlievo it is tho first instance in the 19 years of the National league\u2019s record where a newly imported star carried off the batting honors from the older players.But Stenzel was not a stayer., Ho has shown no ability this year to maintain his position at the head of the batting list.While no official data is obtainable to demn- onstrate exactly where he does stand in tho list at this lite day in the season, enough unofiloial information can bo had to make it ccrtain that he will not be emong the flrst 10 this year.He will probably have to be content with belonging to the list of players who have boen champion batsmen for a single season and not aspire to go down in baseball history beside An- son and Brouthers, who \u2018\u2018pulled off\u2019\u2019 the distinction more than once.Who will win first place in batting this year?Itisa question impossible to answer, though the unofficial flgures indicate that the contest is narrowing down be- twcon Duffy of Boston and Dolahanty of Philadelphia.The tables of averages which aro occasionally published durlng the playing season ape always unrcllablo and mostly misleading from the fact that there is abselutely no opportunity afforded any ono to get at tho ofiicial flgures ox- cept to President Young at Washington, with whom they are filed after cach game, and who never computes his averages un- JACOB STENZEL, til after the season closes, Each club fins an official scorer.That scorer sends the individual record of each player who participates in a gamo played in his city to President Young.Thus all games played in Boston are scored officially by the Boston scorer.But when the Bostons go to Chicago the Chicago scorer is the sole ofli- cial judgo of their individual plays in that city.Therefors it is easily seen how diffi cult it becomes, how impossible, to obtain completo official data during a season on which to figure out averages or even to approximate a guess.So long as the rules of scoring permit such a wide latitude in distinguishing bo- tween hits and errors, just so long scorers are apt to he far apart in the results of their scores.Tho rule says, \u2018Whenever the ball is hit so hard to an Inflolder that he partially or wholly stops it, bug cannot recover (steady) himself in time to fleld out tho batsman, score a hit and excuse the flelder from an error.\u2019 The general amateur scorer usually wholly overlooks this rule and works upon the old timo theory that if the ball touches a player's bands it is an errey, though in many such CASeS TNO MCiacrt nas No DGTY CHanco To put out his man or handle the play than if the ball had missed him by 10 feet.I have even secn scorers excuso a fielder for muffing a foul fly, provided the batsman didn\u2019t afterward reach first base.That is the most faulty kind of scoring.Any muff of a fly gives the batsman another chance, and if he does reach first baso ho has to be put out twice, us the bleacherites express it.\u201cIt hit his hands and is an error, '\u2019 is often heard whon a fleldor makes a long run after a fly and barcly gots his fingers against tho ball.Yet s0 long as ho has no chance to closo his hands on tho ball ho might es well havo been 20 fect away for all tho good it does him.It may be useful information to the great army of baseball readers who scoro games for themselves and watch fbr printed tables of averages during a season to know theso facts about the unreliability of unofficial scores.I have known men to lose money by betting on such information snd afterward discovering, when official Aatistics aro made public, that they have been very widely misled.One {indication of the unusual prosperity of the baseball scason of 1894 Is the fact that the Kastorn league magnates have been quietly discussing the advisability of extending their season boyond the 15th of September, the time originally fixed upon for the ending of the pennant race.President Powers told me recontly that tho scason in that league had been one of unusual success from à financial standpoint, The Buffalo tcam's run of 20 straight victories, which was ended by their defeat at the hands of the Providence leaders on the 18th of August, is, I believe, the straight winning record of the year.Manager Chapman's team accomplished this feat with two pitchors-\u2014Vickery and Hofford.Baltimore Again Leads the Y.eague.New York, August 30.\u2014The following are the results

shock to his many friends in Montreal.He was one of the most enthusiastic of the followers of tlie Toronto Lacrosse Club a few years ago when that club was a factor in the decision of championships.As his brother Frank, the temperance agitator, has shown on a thousand platforms in Canada, there isa good deal of fight in the Spence family ; and Jake could never be convinced that the Toronto\u2019s were not the greatest men on earth or that each of the members of the team was not one of the finest fellows, His face in the rotunda of the Windsor, whenever his pets came to Montreal in those days, was as familiar n piece of furniture as McConniff\u2019s own, and his arguments were many and spirited.He had the courage of his convictions.ton, and so came to be beloved for his gameness even-by his most ardent opponents in those arguments.And when a Montrealer condescends to like a Toronto the latter is usually a good fellow.Awong the members of the Queen\u2019s Own Rifles Jake Spence was well-known, When the Northwest rebellion broke out he was an ex-mamber, but he donned the uniform again and went to the front.At Cut Knife his coolness under tryingfcireumstances was a theme for more whan one correspondent and.he gained high praise for tle lucky manner in which he brought M a wounded eomrade under tir, Latterly Jake gave hisy attention entively to business, and as one result of his taking ou a graver turn of mind, he was married in Western Ontario less than a month ago.To the young widow Jake's friends in Montreal and elsewhere will extend that sympathy which is due from all admirers of the live young Canadiaism of the present day.The Crescents and Montreal Juniors The prospective ownership of the intermediate championship banner for this season is at present a beautiful uncertainty, The Quebec and Young Shamrocks now tie for first place with a loss of one match each, Montreal Juniors are second with two lest matches and & return match to play with Quebec and Young Shamrock, which they, the Montrealers, calculate on winning, thus making it a three cornered tie for first place.The Creseent team who will meet them at the Driving Park Saturday will endeavor tu retrieve themselves in the estimation of their supporters by defeating the Montrealers and thereby upsetting the three cornered tie calculations for first place.It is stated that some old experts will figure on the Montreal Juniors for the balance of the season and their appearance on the field Saturday is enough in itself to interest the lovers ot lacrosse.On the other hand the ex-champions expect to bring out some of their stars who have been invisible so far this summer.A hard match may be expected.The ball will be faced at 2 o'clock.Beavers and Emmets to Meet.The Beavers and Emmets will meet at the Driving Park, Point St.Charles, at four o'clock on Saturday afternoon, upon the conclusion of the Crescent-Montreal gaine.The Senior League Trophy.The senior league lacrosse trophy is on

Lest trophy that has been competed for by senior lacrosse clubs.The Shamrocks Condole.The Shamrock Lacrosse Club, at its meet- ing last night, passed a resolution of con- dulence with the family of the late John Egan.Ar.Egan had been a member of the club for tifteen years.THE GUN.Bmith Carr of San Francisco May Meet Champion William E, Potty, For several years the undisputed champion pistol shot of America has been William E.Petty, a member of the New York police force.Ho has defended his title on many occasions against export marks- mon, but has never yot mot any ono who was able to cause him to cxtend himself, as the racegoers would put it.A formidable rival, howorver, has reeent- ly appeared in the person of Smith Carr, 6 member of the Columbia Pistol and Ri- SMITH CARR.fle club of San Francisco.In practico recently Carr performed some feats with a pistol which would seem incredible if they were not so well authenticated.Of course they will not bo accepted as records, but they show that a match between Petty and Carr for the pistol championship of the Unitod Statos would be well worth witnessing.Some of Carr's best work was mado ab 50 yards from an American standard target, 10 shots to a string.The total number of shots he fired was 100, and ho succeeded in scoring 99 out of a possiblo 100 on three different strings.So far as is known, this record J.as nover been equaled.Carr\u2019s total scoro for tho 100 shots was 958 points, which also exceeds all provious known performances.\u2018The highest ever made heretofore was 914 by a Massachusetts marksman.The pistol used by Carr was built on lines originated by himself.Itwasasinglo shot, with a \u2018\u2018spliced\u201d barrel 10 inches in length and a three-quarter pound trigger pull FOOTBALE The Senior

Sheepshead Bay.New York, August 30.\u2014Although the fields were small as a rule to-day at Sheeps- head Buy the horses engaged were high- class and the contests were interesting, in spite of the fact that top-heavy favorites won a majority of the races.The greatest interest was in the race for the Ocean Hun- dicap, in which Domino was at 3 to 5, and Ducat at 9 t 5 In view of the fact that ucat won with practically the same \u201cweight on Tuesday, ruu- ning the mile in 1.39 and establishing a new record, it was thought he would lower the colors of Domino.When the flag fell the four were close together and that was the way they ran to the stables, when Domino was last, and this was continued until the stretch, when Taral went to the whip, while Ducat seemed to have the race won.Taral rode so hard that he caught Ducat and forced him off his feet and it was all over.Summaries : Yirst race, Futurity course\u2014 Applause, 115 (Doggett) 5 to 2, won by three lengths; Owlet, [15

resolution of the Colonial Conference at Ottawa calling for tenders for a Pacific cable, says: With Alexander Siemens\u2019 estimate that such a cablecould belaid immediately for £2,000,000 leaving a working capital of fifteen thousa: d pounds and be finished 1 three years, or in two for an extra thirty thousand pounds, the question is entering the stage in which the governments concerned have to decide the part they mean to take.The question, morcower, is not purel a financial one.The main consideration is public utility.The nations which lays the first cable and establishes the first steamship line may expect to hold » commanding position in the Pacific and in the effort the British colonies are making to secure this position for Great Britain they are simply obeying the die- tutes of self-interest.The Times concludes by urging the laying of the cable as it says its construction would not commit the Government to the purchase of the whole existing system.On the contrary, if it were deemed desirable there should be little difficulty in disposing of the line to a private company unless the estimates of the experis are widely mistaken.DISEASE IN CATTLE, What Englishmen

blackened, and his face bore damaging traces of the contest, Said the champion light-weight : \u201cl'or the first seven rounds of the fight I did not know what IJwas doirg.I did not think I was fighting.I have not been in the ring for two yeurs and this lack of practice naturally made me a bit excited.If the fight had lusted fifteen rounds Griffo would have been put to sleep.[ am ready to

passage of the R.M.S.Labrador is highly praised in England, as this extract from the Liverpool Journal of Commerce, August 21st, 1894, tells : *The Dominion Line Royal Mail steamer Labrador, Captain James Me- Auley, which left Quebec at 9.30 a.m.on the 12th instant, arrived at Moville at 1.45 p.m.on Sunday, and anchored off the stage at 3 a.m.yesterday.This is the fastest passage on record

records by 6% hours.The Labrador brought home 88 cabin, 33 intermediate, and 110 steerage passengers, besides the Canadian mails and a general cargo.Passengers were all highly gratified, and in taking

pra - bers, was very satisfactory During the last two years, has gained 1,007 lodges, and 85,681 members.Touching on the fund statistics, Mr.Friedman said that in 1893 61,205,135 was pald out from the

Children, took out a warrant in the Police Court against the wife of G.S.Hol, printer, Notre Dame Street, in which he ulleges that she had cruelly ill-treated her step-son.The lady was arrested by High Constahle Bissonnette, and when brought before Judge Dugas pleaded not gailty, alleging that it was a conspiracy against her.The Judge had no other option than to order an enquete, so that he might be able to determine if the charge was true ornot.Day after day has been fixed by the Magistrate for the hearing of the enquete, but the prosecution have, through some reason or other, succeeded in baving it put off from time to time.Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock was again fixed, but although Me Holt and his lawyer were present there wag no sign of Mr.Marshall or his lawyer, The matter was laid before Judge Des- noyers, and the injustice being done pointed out to him.*I will fix the enquete decisively for Thursday afternoon at two o'clock and the plaintiffs shall be notified of it.It they do not appear I will dismiss the case,\u201d said the Magistrate.Yesterday afternoon, sharp on time, Mr.Holt and his lawyer were on hand, but ag before there was no sign of the plaintiffs.After waiting one hour Judge Desnoyers\u2019 attention was called to the fact.\u201cThis is strange, very strange,\u201d said he.\u201cThey have Leen notified of my decision by the Clerk, and I am surprised they have not responded.I dismiss the case and Mis, Holt goes forth from this Court without the slightest stain on her character.\u201d Mr.Holt, was a very much enraged man at the proceedings taken against his wife.\u2018Ib is a crying shame,\u201d said he, \u201cthat a man should be allowed to go to the Police Court and swear out warrants indiscriminately against respectable people.This shock has thrown my wife on a bed of sickness, from which she may never recover, Then again look at the disgrace which it casts upon us.I say it Is abominable and you may state that I will sue the Society

government, by awarding the ribbon of the Legion of Honor to wime.Bogelot, has turned a brilliant light on a personality whose career has pitherto lain somewhat in the shade.Leaving to others the care of vindicating the feminine cause in public meet- jngs and in the press, Mme.Bogclot has devoted her life to the redemption of female criminals.Her name is intimately connected with that highly philanthropic work, the \u2018\u2018(Buvre de Liber- ecs de St.Lazare,\u2019\u2019 of which she is now directress, and if is mainly due to the fact that she personally represented the society at the woman\u2019s congress at Chicago that she owes this public recognition of her worth\u2014an honor seldom vouchsafed to women, however well merited.To be thus singled out from among others of her sex must certainly be extremely gratifying, but it is pleasing to find that Mme.Bogelot takes her houors very meckly.The predominating characteristics of the new chevalierc are meekness aud cheerfuluess, combined with excellent business capacities and a boundless compassion for human errors and misfortunes of every shape, She is an admirable specimen of that class of Frenchwomen about whom the fashionable society of Paris knows little.\u201cThe world and I are strangers.I never go ont, never pay visits,\u2019\u2019 Mme.Bogelot explained iu a recent interview.\u201cIrise early, the morning is spent at home dictating letters to my private secretary.During the afternoon hours I am generally to be found at the offices of the (Euvre dcs Liberees de St.La- zoro.At 6 o'clock I return to dine with my husband and son, and I am seldom out of bed after 8.72 This is the simple epitome of Mme.Bogelot\u2019s self sacrificing existence.In her home surroundings there are abundant evidences that the humanitarian labors of this excellent woman are not allowed to interfere with the comfort of her husband.There is no disorder in her household.You feel that everything moves on oiled wheels.A roomy flat in a large house situated in a small street turning out of the busy Rue de Rivoli is her abode, solidly but simply furnished, a single, middle aged servant composing the entire staff.It is pleasant to note that between husband and wife there is complete harmony of ideas and interests, M.Bogelot, who is oa member of the bar, affording his wife aid and advico on all legal matters connected with her work.Few women leading more or less of à public life manage tostecr cicar of the quicksands of sectarianism.That Mme.Bogelot has been able to do so is due partly to a well balanced mind and amiable temper, partly to the manifeld occupations of her busy life.She is ever ready to give advice in respect to the administration of societies, a matter in which she is thoroughly conversant, but she wisely restricts her own labors to the special lines she has taken up, and which absorb all her time and ener- gics.Politics never attracted her, nor has she ever taken an active part in the vindication of woman\u2019s rights.Still she is ever ready to lend a helping hand tc members of her own sex, to fellow workers as well as to tho disinherited by fortune.But, although she personally prefers to hold aloof from party strife, the woman's cause has undoubtedly hex entire sympathy.Indeed it would have been strange had it been otherwise, owing to tho great friendship that existed between her and the late Maria De- raismes.Tho connection between them was almost that of mistress and pupil.There was a difference of some 10 years in their ages, and Isabelle Bogelot, when a weakly child, was taken under the wing of the elder woman aud her sister, Muic.Fenisse, that she might have the benefit of country air, and remained an inmate of their house until she married, This carly training had probably a great effect on her subsequent career, Not being gifted with literary abili- tics, as was the more brilliant Maria Deraismes, she sought to rextler herself useful in other ways.It was not, however, until after her marriage that she joined the Œuvre des Liberees de St.Lazare, with which her name has since been so inseparably connected.This was in 18783, and the society had been founded three years previously by Mlle.Michel de Grandpre, the niece of the chaplain of St.Lazare, who had been struck during her intercourse with the inmates of this house of detention by the anxiety evinced by so many of tho prisoners as their terms of imprisonment came to a close and they knew they would be once more thrown on their own resources and have to do battle with the \"difficulties of life, heavily handicapped by the ignominy of a conviction.Initiated into the workings of the society by Mme.Emilie de Mar- sier, its vice president, Mme.Bogelot threw herself into the work heart and soul and Was very soon clected a member of the committee, to become, in 1880, its general directress, a post which she has held ever since.\u2014London Queen.Mme, Casimir-Perier, Mme.Casimir-Perier married her cousin and is herself a Perier.She is tall and fair, with a commanding figure, and dresses in admirable taste, with a nuance of royal magnificence.The strong face and deep set eyes give her a sad expression and make her look older than her husband.But she is still young enough to lead fashion and will draw all tho noblesse of the rallies, and Particularly the ralliees, to her receptions.She has two children\u2014a boy, who is at the Lycee Janson de Sailly in Paris, and a girl of 14 at a convent school, who will be one of the best partis in France within a few years, for the Casimir-Periers are worth at least £2,000,000.In spite of their plebeian name, they belong to the very best aristocratic set and are by no means nouveaux ¥iches,\u2014Paris Cor, London World.\" Gelatin Spangles.\u201cTrim up your old hat and black silk waist with gelatin spangles,\u2019\u2019 said the girl at the trimming counter to me.\u201cThey will look as good as new.\u2019 She showed me the pretty black spangles, all neatly ranged in rows, and black braid just ready to sew on.I trimmed up my hat and made my shabby old waist look resplendent, and then I hicd me to the seashore.I sat on the beach enjoying the sweet, refreshing breezes which wafted their fragrance cver ray city heated brow.I wondered why every one looked at me BO attentively in passing, but of course attributed it all to my fine appearance in my gelatin bespangled garments, when a swell young girl came up to me and gently said: \u2018Excuse me, ma'am, but-your face is all black.\u201d I frantically wiped my brow with my handkerchief, and, horrible to rclate, those awful gelatin spangles had mielt- ed in the damp sea air and had run all over my face.As soon as I could get where there was a mirror I looked at myself, and, oh, what a sight I was! The day was done for me.I returned to tho heated city, determined I would let the women know what a delusion and a snare the gelatin Epangle is.Never choose them for seaside wear, fair reader, or, liko me, yon will go home in mourning aud with drooping feathers.\u2014New York Herald.Why She Didn\u2019t Vote, Massachusetts women can vote if they choose for members of the local school boards.Sonre choose and some do not, and some of the reasons why some of the ladies donot are instructive.A young bride who has been living only a few months in a small manufacturing town in the Bay State was excited and delighted when told she might vote.She had lived in Rhode Island, where no such privilege prevailed.It happened, though, that, although young, she was still a couple of months older than her husband, and when, with a pretty air of importance, she went to the registry office she was dumfounded when she was formally asked her age.\u201cBut I want to vote\u2014just vote, \u2019\u2019 she pleaded.\u2018\u2018But, my dear Mrs.B\u2014\u2014,\u2019 said the registry clerk\u2014who was in her husband\u2019s employ\u2014\u2018\u2018all the ladies do, and why should you care of all ladies?\u201d \u201cWell, I won\u2019t.So there!\u201d And she fluttered indignantly away.Her husband told me this story with great delight, which I thought shabby of him, \u2014New York Press, The Kentucky Kind of Woman, Mrs.W.E.McPhearson, wife of our town marshal, was passing the skirt of à wood a few days ago and was confronted by a rattlesnake immediately in her pathway.His snakeship instinctively gave the usual signal warning with his rattles, coiled himself up and elevated his head preparatory to battle.The brave little woman, instead of screaming like a wildcat and fainting away, as many women do when they see a mouse on tho floor, scized the first weapon she could lay her hands on and opened the battle and soon dispatched the brute.She then deliberately took out her pocketknife, and as dexterously as a skilled hunter would skin a deer took off kis hide and brought it home with her and stuffed it with bran, and pow has it on exhibition at her residence.The egnake was of the yellow species, measured nearly 5 feet in length and had nine rattles and a button.\u2014Ha- zel Green (Ky.)

To win the confid- ! ence of u man like this, I was obliged ; to make him believe I was a kindred spirit.To sit and listen to recitals of past exploits\u2014ay, even to applaud them, When I look back upon that man as ha revealed himself to me, I wonder if the World could show his equal in wickedness.A man without mercy\u2014without a suspicion of a high thought.To him nothing was sacred.Am avowed atheist, not from honest conviction, but choice; and, what is even rarer, an utter disbheliever in the existence of good in man or woman\u2014a man who deliberately turned to evil and said, \u2018Be thou my good.\" I cannot descrive my life or assumed life, during the time I enjoyed his intimacy, the places he led me to, the people I met, when he fancied he had satisficd himself that I was a man after his own heart.It was well for me Valentine was away sketching\u2014that Lady Estmere and Claudine were at a friend\u2019s in the country.I should bose ¥irched with charme had I been compelled to meet Claudine\u2019; pure eyes.The culicausillutION ol ie scenes I had witnessed would have kept me from her presence.Chesham hoasted\u2014no, I am wrong in saying boasted\u2014he related his successes with women as if the topic was one of inter est, and nothing more.Moral feeling he had none, He must have been born without it, as at times a man is born without a leg or an arm.He related all his exploits to me as an old veteran might relate his deeds of aims to a young recruit, but as yet he had not mentioned Lady Estmere's rame\u2014I dared not put the question direct, although once or twice I had tried to leap up to it, lle seemed to avoid it\u2014perhaps he feared my friendship for Valentine, Onc night Chesham was in my rooms, to which, carrying out my scheme, 1 oi- ten invited him.We had played ecarte until I professed myself tired of the game, I was a loser to some extent, so had a right to propose a cessation.We sat talking.Let me say here that when he talked of other subjects than his exploits, the man was well worth listening to.He knew every country in Europe, and had gone through strange adventures in most of them.He could tell tale after tale, relate experience after experience.All his anecdotes were underlaid with bitter cynicism, but again, 1 say, that at such times, if I could have forgotten my purpose and his true nature, he would have been an entertaining, if not an elevating companion.«] suppose,\u201d I sald, \u2018you never stooped to the weakness of really, loving a woman?\u201d ' A bitter smile curved his lips, and 1 saw his teeth close, \u2018Yes,\u2019 he said, \u2018Once, only once, I was fool enough to do so.\u201d You never married?\u201d \u2018Once I would have done even that.The woman I loved married someone else.\u201d \u2018And lived happily, of course.\u201d «She threw me over and I swore to be revenged.By , I had revenge,\u201d \u201cThe usual sort?\u2019 «The usual sort, as you call it, The wife hasn\u2019t spoken to her husband for more than twenty years.\u201d I knew I had tourled the richt chord; but I registered & vow that it ever Chesham were at my wercy L would not lift a\u2019 finger to save him.\u2018Who might she have been?\u201d I asked, lightly, for Chesham made no secret of names.He said nothing for a while, but drained his glass, 1 replenished it.It was part of my scheme to take what advantages I could from Him when liquor was in the ascendant, but as yet 1 had met ais surcess, Drink did not honor To him A na {Jooser his tongue as a rule, but tue night was warm and he had drank freely.He may not have been quite himself.\u201cWho was she?\u201d he muttered, as if to himself.The proudest and purest of women\u2014so everyone said.Yet mow peopl?shrug their shoulders and smile.Oh, yes; 1 had plenty of revenge.\u201d I should have liked to have taken him by the throat, and, if possible, havo shaken the truth out of him.I noticed he placed his hand on his hip as i in pain.\u2018Ja your leg had?\u201d 1 asked.\u2018\u201cCurse him.Its always bad when speak of her.He thought he had his venge when 1 fell; but what was hig mine.What a fool he was!
