A Fnorljr Flayed Game. fper.Ul to the Indlananolis Journal New York, Aug. 31. The Indianapolis and New York clubs played an xhibition game to-day in which the Ilooiiers were defeated by a score of 9 to 1. The play Was loose and careless on both sides, and made Jots of fan for tho crowd. Johnson played second base in excellent style lo place of Iiassett, who had rone home to stay a day. Shomberg went to right, Myers to first, and Ilealy to short stop, after the fourth inning, just to show Glasscock how to play the position, he said, but he had little to do. Moffett, who wan put in to pitch, did rot exert himself particularly, and was hit hard and often, Connor putting the ball over the right Celd fence, the second time that feat was ever performed. Denny made a home run hit in the ninth inning, but stopped at third. Young Titcomb, who pitched for the Giants, struck out ten men. lie has an out curve that is a wonder, and he struck both Brown and Seery out three times. The Hoosiers left for Boston to-night They are putting up a ery fine fieldine game, but are hitting very lightly. Moffett and Leitmer go from here directly to Pittsburg. Uoyle. Ilealy and throve will pitch at Boston. After Monday's same here George Gore said that Sbreve was the taost deceptive pitcher he had faced this seaeon. The score of to day's game was: NEW YORK.

Boston had her strongest pine in the field for the first time in the present series, and played a creditable game also for the first time. The Detroits in the field were a etone wall to all ground hits. White's third-base play was maenifleent, and D-.mlap' position was . fortified by Richardson. Radbourneis suffering from a strained arm, and with this handicap played a good pame. Kelly and Nash batted with vigor. Johnston and Hornung made several phenomenal catches. Ijocal prophets now predict that the Detroits are sure pennant winners for 1887. Certainly no club has approached tbeir work in the last three games here this season.

Terry and King were on their mettle to-day, and 'both pitched great games. The Browns only pulled out victory in '.he eighth inning, when defeat seemed certain. Terry was beautifully supported, and had he fielded his position as well as he pitched, a different story would have been told. After bavin g failed to accept a chance to retire Latham in the eighth inning on Gleason'6 hit, O'Neill came to the rescue with a magnificent drive to left tenter, tieing the score. McClellan then made ft bad error, which 1-t in two runs and gave St Louis the game. The best features were Gleason's beautiful work at short, he making several p henomenal pick-ups, and Robinson's work at second. Captain Corniskey, though having a badly Injured hand, played his position pluckily. The battwrv work of King and Bovle was of the finest. Pinckney, Clark, Peoples" and Phillips Jid excellent work. The base-running of the Champions has seldom been excelled. Score: Bt. lie.?!. 1 O 1 O O O O 4 O C, Brooklyn O O 4 O O O O O 04 Earned runs St. Louis, I; Brooklyn. O. Two-base tit Oeilt. Inth m.

Louisville won her third consecutive game from tne Metropolitans lo-day. Kynn went in to pitch for the Metropolitans, but was terribly wild. O'Brien relieved hiro after seven runs had been mailt in a portion of the opening inning. Kadford tried his band after O'Brien was knocked out, and, irhile not so wild, was hit hard. Jones then pitched nn inning, meeting the tamo dreadful .ate. i; is email came into the box in the eighth, ind fared rather better than his companions of Jl-lnck, fit ishing out the pame.

Then they made errors at critical points that cost runs. The onlv feature of the pame was the foolish base running of the Ileds, four men being extinguished at the plate.

Base-Ball .Notes., The Kalaraazoos have a long lead for the Ohio State League championship. The Frankfort nine defeated the Kokomoclub, on Tuesday, by a score or 10 to 7. The Detroit spare players left at home are utilized to play in local and other clubs. The Decatur club defeated the Champaign Clippers, yesterday, by a score of 3 to 1. Detroit offered Washington $1,000 for Whit ney, but Gaffoey laughed at Watking and told him $10,000 wouldn t buy him. A St. Louis base-ball authority says Von der Ahe will make a mistake if he goes into the League, because base-ball won't live in St Louis without Sunday games. The leading batters of the American Associa tion are as follows: O'Neil, .470; Mack, .440; Browning, .4dJ; Kobinson, .420; .Lyons, .419; Csruthers, .4.08; Urr, .401. A Reader: Base ball ia played as a popular game only in tne united states, mere area few professional clubs in Canada, and an at tempt was made to popularize It in Lngland, but it failed. One of the Omahas made a single in a recent game. The pitcher tried to catch him napping. The first baseman muffed the ball aud he ran to second. The first baseman threw it to the second baseman, who muffed, and the runner dashed for third. The third baseman muffed in turn, and the runner reached the plate. Ii.: Balls batted to the ground on fair ground. that roll on to foul ground between home and first base, or home and third base, and balls batted high in the air that fall on fair ground and roll on to foul eround, between home and first or home and third bases, are fair if touched by the fielder, otherwise not. Of the once famous Tecumsehs, of London, Ont.. who won the international championship in G- 77, only one is now playing ball professionally. He is Joe Hornung, of the Bostons. Gold smith and Smith are residing in Detroit, Somerville and Ai Hall are dead. Bradley is in an asy lum. Guinton is playing with an ameteur club somewhere in York State; Ross Barnes is living at Ilockford. I1L, and Phil Powers and Doescher are umpiring. The pame played at the fair grounds by the Grand Hotels and the liaymarkets, managed, respectively, by William Kriel and James Madden, yesterday, was witnessed by a large crowd. The Grands won with ease, the features of the game being the battery work of Schwabacher and Hoffman, and the fielding and batting of Hoffman, Ireat, Koss, Kriel and Schwabacher, of the Grand3. For the Haymarkets Griffith and Madden did good work. The score was 19 to 13. In the early days of his base-ball career Geszein resolutely refusi in wear a collar. One day the Giand Rapida iiam went down to Saginaw and while there th boys determined to make him presentable. On the way down in the sleeper, while Getzein was asleep, one of the pang stole his flannel fhirt and two extra ones he had in his grip. When he discovered his loss be was nearly wild. .Nobody knew anything about it. and no one would loan him a shirt, but one man offered to go out and get one for him. The volunteer went forth and purchased a shirt with a collar on it, which Getzein was forced to put on. It is said he spent an hour before tho glass admiring that collar, and wad soon the greatest dude on collars in the team. A syndicate composed of five wealthy gentlemen are talking of forming an independent team for next season which will contain none but Lowell ball-players, and to have the games occur either on the fair grounds or on the new grounds to be erected in the vicinity of the Rogers Fort Hill park. The players mentioned are, for catchers. Jack Corcoran, of Jersey City; Jack Grady, recently with Charleston. S. C; Billy Conway, of Farmineton. Pitchers, Conway, of Boston; M eade, of Holy Cross; Riley and Grady, of Dover, and several others to draw from who. are now playing in different leagues. For infield, either Hawes or Flanagau on first; Jim Xoowles, of Rochester, on second: Barney McLaughlin, short-stop; Arthur Whitnev, on third; Martin Sullivan, left field; Johnny Firth, conter field, Kadeau ri?ht field.

Philadelphia Times. The electric wires flashed over tha land a few days ago that "Mrs. Sarah Jackson, wife of Andrew Jackson, jr., and mistress of the White House during President Jackson's second term, died at 'the Hermitage' on Aug. 23, aged eightyone years. The few men and women of the court days of the closing years of Andrew Jack son's second administration who have survived the intervening modicum of fifty years of terrestrial being will recall the beauty, intelligence and vivacity of this estimable lady. But the an nouncement of her death was to many of the liv ing generation the first tidings of her existence. Andrew Jackson, jr., was tbe foster-son of the President, and Mrs. Jackson, bis wife, was tbe daughter of Peter Yorke, of Philadelphia. The Yorkes were a family of colonial and revolution ary distinction. The grandfather of Peter Yorke held an office under the crown before the war for freedom and independence began. Miss Yorke was married soon after the beginning of President Jackson's second term, which began in 1333, and entered the executive mansion as a bride. The presiding lady of the mansion was Emily Donelson, who married her cousin, Andrew Jackson Donelson, at the age of sixteen. Major Donelson was a protege and confidential adviser of General Jackson, and when tbe old hero entered the presidency, became his private secretary. When the President's foster-son brought his bride to the White House the Presiden himself fixed their social status in a playful remark that "Mrs. Donelson should be the pre siding lady of the executive mansion and Mrs. Jackson the mistress of 'the Hermitage."' In 1836 Mrs. Donelson, who was in bad health. went to her home in Tennessee, leaving Mrs. Jackson to take her place in the social regime of the mansion during her absence. Consumption had fastened its relentless grasp upon tbe beautiful form of Emily Donelson. As the gayeties of tho following season wer6 about to commence in Washington she was carried a corpse to the tenements of the family dead in the littie grave yard at Tulip Grove. Weeping took the place of joy. The administration of Andrew Jackson and the social regime of Sarah Yorke Jackson ended in mourning. The association of Mrs. Jackson with the life of Andrew Jackson was during the evening of his davs and in the retirement of his home. Her dignified and affable ways always pleased him. His pride in her knew no bounds. After he laid aside the robes of state and once more assumed the garb of simple master of '"the Hermitage" she presided over his housenold and entertained the throng of friends who came and went during the eight years of his life after retiring from the presidency. Mrs. Jackson's husband died many years ago. 1 he State of I ennessee purchased "the Hermitage" and invited her to continue her residence there as its guest She took formal charge of its domestic and social life in 1837 and rounded an even half century, when her name - was called from among the living to its place in the archives of eternity. What Shall We Da with Onr Daughters? E. Shuster. in t'oi .n American Review. All over Germany exist what are called"Sparcassen" (saving banks), which correspond, in a measure, to the endowment plan of the American assurance companies. The bast known is the "Wilhelmscasse," named after the Emperor, who is its patron. At the birth of a fcirl. the father and mother insure her (kaufen sie eiu) in such a ca3se for as much as they are able to bestow every year on the future of their new-born baby girl. The amount is paid annually. The casse lays out the money in behalf of the insured, at interest, chiefly in real estate. In this way the money accumulates, and at 18, or her majority, the girl is the possessor of a snug little capital. This will serve her to study any favored profession, go to some good conservatory, or start in business; and last, but not least, buy her trousseau, if uha has a chance to follow woman's truest mission! Now. why cannot well-to-do American women establish such a way of providing for their less fortunate sisters? What a blessed gift from a godmother to a poor little girl such insurance would be! I truly believe it would give zeal and encouragement to many true, poor parents, if by this small economy they could help to provide for their dear ones. It is better than a lifo insurance, for it takes away the "sting of death:' ail may live and enjoy the fruit of their economy! How much better a yearly outlay would be. for people in moderate circumstances, than in costly toys and extrava;,ent dress, by which children are brought up to expectations. 1 A. Hare Set of ISouks.

TUE UT.' INDIANS."

The Tribes and Their Location A Brief His tory of the Meeker Massacre. Colorado Letter. . The Ute Indians in general number some 4,500. and are now divided into five different tribes and then into smaller trines or clans. Three tribes, the Mowatchees, the Wimmenutchas, and the Capotas, known as the Southern Utes, occupy a reservation in the southwestern corner of tho State. The Uintas and White river Utes are near the northwestern part of the State and across tbe line in Utah. The Uncompahgres are some forty miles south, at the junction of the Green and White rivers, Fort Duchesne being midway between the two agencies. Colorow and his band number some fifty families, and he can count upon about seventy warriors. The Ute differs from most Indians of North America in being short and chubby, with the characteristic high cheekbones not prominent. As a rule the "bucks are very gaudy in their attire; war paint is used in profusion upon almost all occasions, bright-colored Navajo blankets, large silver breastplates, armlets, finger and earrings, necklaces, feathers and fur ornaments, and numberless little gewgawsador.i all parts of the person and dress. The squaws as a rule are not more than four feet six inches to five feet in height. Colorow's band have no reservation, and in order to describe them and their position it is necessary to refer to the Ute war of 1879. Colorow then belonged to the White river Utes, who were then on White river, some 300 miles west of Denver, in what is nr w Garfield county. The details of what is known as the Meeker massacre are naturally recalled, and may be briefly mentioned here. Mr. N. C. "Meeker, a well-known journalist and one of the founders of the Greeley colony, was appointed agent over the White-river Utes. He was a very conscientious man in the discharge of hi3 duties aud in bis desire to benefit the Indians. He labored hard to establish a school and to teach the young men agriculture. Tbe Indians were strong iu their opposition, and finally became somewhat violent in their talk aud actions. They tried to intimidate and prevent the agency farmer from ploughing the land, and at one time fired upon him from their hiding-places in the sage bushes. Tb ey grew bold and insolent from day to day, and on the night of Sept. 12 they held a wardance about the agency buildings. The Agent Meeker appealed at once to the government for protection, and on September 24 four companies of cavalry, under command of Major Thornburg, left a point about ICO miles distant in Wyoming and marched rapidly to his relief. The Indians in the meantime suspected that soldiers had been sent for, and Old Colorow, with ten other Indians, was sent out to reconnoitre. They met Major Thornburg's command about six miles out from tbe agency. They claimed to be out on a hunting expedition, professed perfect friendship, and said everything was quiet at the agency; but it was noticed that they seemed to be taking a careful survey and mental inventory of the numbers and strength of the troops, and from . that time Thornburg kept his command as compact as possible to guard against a surprise. Two days later, while marching through a narrow canon, the Ute war-whoop sounded. Both canon wails were at once bristling with hostile Indians, and every rock and tree seemed to belch forth a leaden messenger. A desperate attempt was made by tbe Indians to cut the men off from the wagon train. Major Thornburg was killed at tho very outset, while leading a charge of twenty men. The troops finally reached the wagon train and hastily formed the wagons into a line of breastworks. The wagons were riddled with bullets, but soon other breastworks were formed of dead horses. The Indians continued to rain bullets down, and in this first day's fight every officer but one was either killed or wounded. Twelve soldiers were killed and forty-two were wounded. They were held in this way, like rats in a pit, under almost constant fire, for six days and nights, when General Merritt appeared with four companies of cavalry and. five of infantry in wagons, having made the remarkable march of 1G0 miles through this mountainous country in forty-eight hours. While this Bix days' fight was going on a tragedy of a darker hue was being enacted at the agency. The Agent Meeker and all his employees were ehot down in cold blood, and the ' if . . . ri '1 lauica oe me lamuy were tat.en captive. j.ce torch was applied to the agency buildings, and when Gen. Merritt arrived he found only a mass of smouldering ruins, and ground strewn with dead and mutilated bodies. At the close of this war the White-river Utes were removed to the Uinta reservation, across the Utah line. They were paid, however, for all their lands, and no punishment was meted out to them. Colorow and his bund refused to stay on tbe Uinta Reservation, and since that time they have been "rovers," roaming up and down tbe country about their old reservation at their own will, to the great annoyance of all the settlers. Tbe immediate cause of the present trouble was an attempt on thfc part of the sheriff of Garfield county to arrest two of these Iudians for horsestealing. Volunteers from different towns in the State have gone to the scene of action. State and government troops have been ordered out. Colorow has sent runners out to the different tribes, and a strong effort is being made to cause a general uprising. Three hundred Uintas are said to have taken tbe war-path, and at present writing two fights have occurred, the results of which are not known. I was at the southern Ute agency yesterday when Agent Stolstemer called into his office Ignacio, Ojo Blanco, and other chiefs of the three tribes and through an interpreter gave them tbe first news of this outbreak, his object being to give them credible information regarding it and its causes, before Colorow's runners arrived. Time enough had not passed for runners to reach them, and tbe news was a complete surprise. An Indian seldom allows his features to express his thoughts, yet when the point was reached telling of Colorow's successful repulse 'of tbe sheriff and bis posse tbeir radiant features plainly indexed the savage instinct that lies smouldering in the breast of every Indian, bnta troubled expression seemed finally to settle down upon the older ones, which one could read at a dance. It seemed to say: "I am with yon. Colorow, in heart and spirit, and my who! a natural desires are to join with you in this fun; but what am I to do with my squaws, and pppooses, and ponies, and sheep, and goats?" The young and impulsive Indians do not think beyond their savage desires, but the old chiefs, as they walked away, looked solemn, and one could easily read that their better judgment had already told them that as they are situated it would be disastrous to join in any uprising against the whites. They have too much at stake. Many of tbem are the owners of 75 to 100 ponies each. Their reservation is but a narrow strip of land, fifteen miles wide and one hundred long, and in case they took the war-path their squaws, pappooses, and 6tock would have to be taken to the high mountains north of the reservation. The settlers and cowboys of this country are nearly as familiar with the mountain passes and trails as the Utes themselves. An Indian never desires a fight except when he can take his adversary at a disadvantage, and, I am satisfied that, however far the Uintas and Uncompahgres may carry this war, there will be no uprising of the Southern Utes. One white man, reared in the mountains and familiar with its trails and with Indian characteristics and methods, is more than a matcn for two Indians, but the history of the Apache and other late Indian wars has proved an Indian to be a match for one hundred soldiers. Large bodies of soldiers cannot successfully cope with Indians in a mountainous country. A few daring men distributed through the mountains can do more to end an Iudian campaign by . their single-handed encounters, fighting from rock to rock, than whole regiments. of soldiers. One man of Kit Carson's fame, if known to be scouting in the mountains, will do more to terrorize a band of Indians than the immediate presence of one hundred soldiers. Interlopers To He Removed. Washington, Aug. 31. Indian Commissioner Atkins to-day sent a dispatch to Indian Agent Stollsteimer, at the Southern Ute agency, in southwestern Colorado, directing him to forthwith remove from the reservation all persons found there whose presence in any wav tends to disturb the peace and quiet of Indians, and, if found necessary to carry out this order, to call upon the military for assistance. This action of the commissioner is based upon information that certain interested parties are trying to in cite the Indians to hostilities. Copies of telegrams which passed yesterday between the Indian Bureau and the officers of the Ute Indian asrencv have been transmitted to General Terry, with the following indorsement: "The acting Secretary of Wr.r directs that yon take all necessary means and issue all nec essary orders to carry out the instructions con veyed in the foregoing telegrams." Sheriff Kendall Condemned, Denver, Col., Aug. 31. Nothing of an excit ing nature has come from the front to-day, and the impression gains ground that the Ute war is ended. It is reported that troops have been sent northward from Fort Lewis, in southwest Colorado, to reinforce the military at Fort

The Ute3 admit the loss of fifteen bucks, two squaws and one pappoose. There has been quite a change in public sentiment here, ancMhe whole anair receive rauca conaemnation. it is believed that had Sheriff Kendall been less re lentless in his pursuit and attack, all bloodshed would have been avoided and the Utes forced to leave.

An Agency In Chicago linns a "Bad Debt" Cart Experiences of Its Driver. Chicago Tribune. A novel method of collecting debts is the one adopted by tbe agency that runs a "bad-debt" ,.. Th rt is n. two-vs nesled venicie. nainted a bright yellow, with the following tainted large letters or its siae: : DEBTS : I COLLECTED. '. ' ............ I The method of procedure adopted by this concern is discreet. There are no threats contained in its notices. The first one sent oat is a simple notice that a certain sum is due. It is sent in an ordinary business envelope, and is certainly no stronger than the letters sent by all reputable collecting agencies. If no answer is received within a reasonable time another letter is sens bearing the cut of tne "cart and reading: "It is necessary that you call at our office immediately upon receiptor this note, that we may not be led to infer from your indifference that you are not disposed to settle, and covern ourselves accordingly in our future action upon the claim." This is inclosed in an envelope bearine an imprint of the cart. If this remains unanswered the cart is sent to the house or office of the party, unless he happens to be in the employ of some responsible person. In that case a notice is sent to the employer asking that he try to get tbe employe to settle. The proprietor of the agency reports that the greatest care is taken in regard to the wagon. It is not allowed to atop in front of a flat where several families live, veven if there is a claim aeainst one of them. If it has to stop anywhere off its route it is driven into an alley. Altogether, although it may not be a. very creditable way of doing business, there seems to be no legal objection to it. According to the proprietor it is intended to reach only those people who can and won't pay. It is stated that once or twice by mistake the cart has stopped in front of the wrong house, and that once there was a row, the occupant of the premises being the chief actor. The driver of the "bad-debt" wagon was asked about his experiences. He is a large, goodnatured looking fellow and speaks with somewhat of a German dialect. "O, I don't haf much trouble," be said, "aaype von or two tim3 a day I haf to knock a man down or slap his mouth, but that is all. If a man ju3t wants to talk at me, vy dot's all right, but if he comes bitting at me den I knock him down." "Do you ever get hurt yourself" "Veil, I bid a feller yesterday and scraped my knuckle, but dot's tbe only time. lie come up and sait if I ever stopped in front of his house he'd blow the wagon np. Den he kept comin' nearer aud f'rowin' bis fist3 'round, and so 1 hit him." "Do the women ever make any fuss?" "Ho, yes. Some of 'em comes out and calls me names, and some of 'em crie3 and takes on every time I come. The boarding-house-keepers are the worst, though." "Dou you ever make any mistakes?" "No, I can't afford to do that. Ven I ain't sure if a man lives at a house I stop at an alley and walk np and find out. I nefer drives the cart up until she feller lives there. " In justice to the agency, it should be said that if there seems to be any doubt about the justice of a claim it never resorts to tha wagon until a judgment has been secured. tm Intellectual Pursuits. Boston Advertiser. Your Harvard sophomore is often both a philosopher and a mathematician. The following bit of history, which has just come to the Athenian, verefics this. A '00 man has been doing some very useful reading during bis vacation with a charming and intellectual young girl, who has been paying her annual visit to his sister. The books chosen have been very useful ones, and the hours of work the golden ones between 9 and 11 in the morning, when the average summer youth and maiden are engaged in far more frivolous pursuits. They were doing finely with one of Corneille's most tiresome plays one morning, wten the sophomore's senior, who told the man who tells the story, came near to the arbor where they were sitting, to water her petunias, close at hand. Unwittingly, she heard this bit of deduction: Intellectual Girl (severely) Now. George, if you're going to interrupt mo by petting ray hand every other minute, that way, I shall put down my nook. He 1 wish you would. She (more severely) And give up the play! No. indeed. But I'll make a bargain with you. I'll stop reading and give yo'j both my hands for five mioutes if after that you will promise to attend to the reading. He (brightly) I know a better plan than that Just give one hand for ten minutes and go rUht on. with tho Choctaw.
