There are two vacancies in the Eastern League of amateur ball pla3ers. It is desired that all amateur clubs send two representatives to the meeting Thursday evening, at the corner of Fine and Washington streets. The Baltimore club, on its Western trip, nlayod twenty-two games, of which they lost fourteen. The first series was in Brooklyn, where the club won but one out of four games. In Columbus it divided the series, and in Kansas City secured three out of the four. After dropping three straight to the St. Louis, it won two in Louisville. Foley, in the Sporting Times; "It is a notorious fact that Indianapolis Joses more runs by bad coaching and base-ruuning than any club in the country. Why, they lost two games by one run in Philadelphia simply because the men were badly coached, and they mot with the same exEerience in one of the Cleveland games, astyear Indianapolis lost no less than twenty-eight games by one run." The Western Association, season is now just a month old, and the St. Raul team has won sixteen of the nineteen games played, having won a majority from everv team in the association, and this, too, with the exception of Minneapolis and Milwaukee, on the grounds of the vanquished. Almost every game was won in eignt innings, St. Paul not being obliged to play the last half of the ninth. Beginning with the series at Denver, St. Paul took ten straight games, losing but once in three weeks. Captain Anson thinks that it is very desirable a rule should be made establishing a certain date, not later than March 1, and making it obligatory on players to sign bv that date. He says several clubs have suffered because men have "held off and held off." He does not think the management should be occasioned annoyance and expense by men who dally and coquette only to come in at the eleventh hour after other men have had a month's practice. "The players should bo obliged to sitm by some given time, so that the management of a club can lay out the season's work with assurance that the men will start in together." "I prefer to have ourbadluckin the'early part of tho season," said Manager Mutrie the other day. "Thus far we have been remarkably unfortunate. Our invalid corps has been nearly as large as the men in active service. That sort of thing can't last. If the Boston club had been visited by the bad luck we have had, resulting in the disablement of good men, they would not have made such a record. I hope that no man will receive injury, but the doctrine of chances is that every club will suffer in the course of tho season. It all depends when the hard luck strikes you. We can: stand our stroke now. We might not be able to rally if the cyclone hit us along in September." President Brush to the Sporting Times "There is not a vestige of fact upon which to build the sensational story that the releases of Denny or Glasscock can bebouglft. Permission to approach them on the subject has not been given, and will not be." A writer from that city says: "They know very well that base-ball cannot llourishin Cleveland on such enormous salaries as aro paid to some of the stars in the Boston club or even the more modest clubs. If, however, the players throughout the League should demand an advance, the Cleveland club might be driven to the wall. Secretary Hawley, sneaking of the matter, said: What will we do if the classification rule is abolished? Get out of the business as gracefully as we can. The law was made for just such towns as Cleveland. We cannot stay in the League and compete against $40,000 or $50,000 teams. As it is, myself and associates have 6unk $35,000 in getting our present team together.' " Racing at Latonla Park. Cincinnati, May 27. The seventh day at Latonia was the first bright day of tho meeting, yet it managed to rain about livo minutes during the afternoon. The attendance was largo and the track fairly fast. Three out of tho five favorites landed the purses, while the other two were not really "short" by any means, The Harold stakes for two-year-olds was won by Pha nix rather handily, but Starter Caldwell, who ran second, gave the winner a rood race when he got out of the ruck, lie got off very bad, and carried 121 pounds eight pounds more than tho winner.

The advocates of the new theory maintain that all public revenues should ultimately be raised by a single tax on the value of bare land. The Missouri Railroad Accident. St. Louis, Slay 27-D. Weickert, one of the passengers injured in the St. Louis &. San Francisco wreck, near Sullivan, Mo., died in the temporary hospital at that place to-day. Mr. Weickert was a resident of Springheld, Mo. To-day all the employes of the company who were on tho wrecked train were before General Manager Morrill, and to-night an Associated Press reporter ascertained that the result of the inquiry was very important. Officers of tho road are very reticent, but it is knowu that a clew to the perpetrators of tho dastardly crime which imperiled the lives of fifty people has been secured. To-morrow General Manager Morrill will issue a circular giving a description of two men who are thought to be the train-wreckers, and will offer a large reward for their capture. There is no longer any doubt as to the cause of the wreck. The motive was robbery, but the wreckers weakened after going through the baggage-car and securing 140. Steamship Arrivals.

A little saltpeter or carbonate of soda mixed with water in which llowers aro placed will keep them fresh for two weeks. In severe paroxysms in coughing, either in coughs, colds or consumption, one or two tablespoonfuls of pure glyrerino in puro whisky, or hot, rich cream will afforci almost immediate relief. Strawberry Shortcake Mix ono pint of flour, one-half teaspoonfui salt and two teaspoonfuls baking powder together. Beat one egg and add enough milk to make a stiff dough, then add one-quarter cup butter, melted; bake in pie plates; split and fill with strawberries and cream. The filling is made of whipped cream, into which a little powdered sugar is beaten, and strawberries. More whipped cream may be placed on top. The expense is what deters many housekeepers from preserving their fruit rather than canning it, but in reality preserving is no more expensive than canning. Tho fruit is so much richer that a less amount is required, and even though a jar has been opened and only part of it used, the remaining portion will keep if covered securely so that no air can enter the jar. Canned fruit must be used at once or within a short timo of its being opened. Preserves are unrivaled, and with their aid many delicious desserts can be made. For removing spots of grease from hoards, take equal parts of fuller's earth and pearl ash, a quarter of a pound of each, and boil in a quart of soft water, and while hot lay it on the greased parts, allowing it to remain on them ten or twelve hours, after which it may bo scoured off with sand and water. A lioor much spotted with pceaso should be completely washed over with this mixture the day before it is scoured. Fuller's earth and oxgalls, boiled together, form a very powerful cleansing mixture for iloors or carpets. Stains of ink are removed by strong vinegar, or salts f lemon will remove them. The easiest and best way to wash carpets is to sweep and pound out all the dust possible; then sew a strong loop to each corner, stretch out on tho grass and hold to placo with pegs driven into the ground, and clean with a broom same as floor; first sweep with clear water on both sides, then scrub with warm 6oapsuds on both sides till all the dirt is out; then go over it with clear water till thoroughly rinsed, and stretch on a clean spot and leave till dry. It dries much quicker than on a line, and no dancer of being streaked. If cleaned right after breakfast on a clear day it will be dry by night. Walls that are to be whitewashed or papered should be swept thoroughly with a stiff broom; clean any grease 6pot with a scrub-brush and weak lye. Do not use calsoinine, it is injurious to health: whitewash is purifying and healthy. To mako whitewash, pour boiling water over tho time; when slacked thin to the consistency of cream, or as thick as can bo spread evenly with a whitewash brush, add thre pints of skim milk to two gallon; or two tablespoonfuls of pulverized alum, to prevent its rubbing off. It can bo colored any tint desired with blueing, analinc, Diamond dye and dry paint. If butter is kept covered tight when put in the ice-chest it will not absorb the odor of any food lying near. There is nothing so sensitive as butter, and yet you may seo it at any time placed near ine at or vegetables. The Churches and Prohibition. Philadelphia American. Church influence of all kinds has been worked very hard in behalf of the amendment. Ministers, for instance, who did not send in their adherence to the ministerial address in its behalf have been warned personally that they will find themselves occupying an isolated and unpleasant position: aud others have been pointed out publicly as indifferent to the evils of intemperance. The standing committee on temEerance of the Presbyterian (Jeneral Asscmly has used the funds contributed from all parts of the country to obtain votes for Prohibition in this State, and the secretary of the committee issues a manifesto in which he gravely identifies constitutional Prohibition with tho Christion religion, as if he were unaware of the example aud words of Justin Mm-jelf which wo presume, can hardly bo ih cae.
