OUJK BALL CLUB DISBANDS

Players Divide the Money in the Hands 'of the Manager and Get $3.10 Each. Interstate League Seemingly in a Bad Way Games Played by the Hoosier and Other Leagues Racing at Chicago. The players "who composed the Indian apolis ball team returned from Terre Haute yesterday morning. The trouble with Manager Smith over the division of the guar ontee money resulted in a lawyer getting $23, and couxt costs eating up $13 more, leaving just $33 to te divided. This gave the players each the xnuniGcent sum of $3.10. Smith wanted them to go to Peoria, where they had two games, and then to Darlington, where throe games were scheduled. This was the original plan, and by following it out the club "would have received $C0O guarantee and the hoys divided half that amount, for $150 "would have paid their expenses. They refused to go, however, and insisted on a division then and there. Smith then offered to divide providing Goldie and Sharp, whom he had fined Sunday, were barred from receiving anything. This stipulation did not suit the players, who wanted no conditions attached to the division and insisted on the two culprits sharing in the spoils. Finally, Smith was compelled to yield. The players have nothing good to aay of him, but appear to feel kindly toward President Martin, who, they say, did the best he conld under the circumstances and hung on longer than they thought he would. They will remain here for the present, awaiting developments, and would in the meantime like to arrange a game with the News team. Such a game would attract & good-sized crowd, as there is mnch curiosity to see bow the amateur talent of the Y. M. C. A. League would show up against professionals. Aside from this trouble, the Interstate League appears to be in a very bad way. Decatur, ill., does not want the vacancy,' and Secretary Al Spink, who went there to work up a base-hall boom, failed to awaken the slightest interest in the scheme. Only two or three people responded to a call for a public meeting, and the subscriptions secured were so hmall that the amounts were not made public. Spink returned to St. Louis very much disappointed at Decatur's lack of interest in the move. Fort Wayne may consent to iill the gap caused by the very timely demise of Indianapolis. If Fort Wayne do s not take the franchise Spink will endeavor to place a team in St. Louis in order to help the Interstate through. It is the general belief, however, that the league is doomed and will soou follow Indianapolis into retirement. Just after President Martin let go word was received from Saginaw, Mich., that the Saginaw-Bay Citv team, of the International League, would like to come here, the transfer to be entire. This club was third in the race, and had tho offer come two weeks ago it might have been considered. Tug Arundel is doing most of the catching for the team. Indiana League. JICKCIE, 16; FORT WAYNE, 0. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Muncie, July 9. Pitcher Cates was selected by Manager Scott in the game here to-day, to check the Muncie team's hard bitting, but, after twelve singles and two doubles, a triple and Davie Sowders'a home run, with two men on bases. Mr. Scett concluded his attempt was futile. Sowders pitched a tine game for Muncie, but. as is usually accorded him, ho received bad support, and Muncie only won by territic hitting. Fort Wayne has added second-baseman. Bamberger, late of Marion, to its team, which now consists of a tine lot of players. Score: Muncie.. 1 1 3 0 3 0 2 2 416 Fort Wayne.. ....

Descendants of the Old Vaodojs Suffering from Starvation in the Alps. New York Sun. It would scarcely be supposed that in a country as thickly populated as France there could be whole districts in which, people were dying of famine, or that at this day French citizens could be suffering from the direct results of the religious persecutions that centuries ago desolated some parts of tho country, it is a fact, however, that the inhabitants of several of the valleys in the department of the High Alps are suffering from actual starvation and are being removed en masse to other parts of the country, or to the colonies, in order to savo their lives, and it is also a fact that these unfortunate people are the descendants of the old Vaudois. and that they have lived in thescvalley s until starved out of them because their ancestors were driven into them in the old times of persecutfon. The most suffering at present is in tho valley of Fressinieres. From there last month the government received an appeal, signed by the civil and religious authorities, for "some sacks of army bread" to relieve the starving, "who are reduced to the grass of the field and tne water of tho springs." Three centuries ago the ancestors of tnese Vaudois were driven by persecution into the most inaccessible fasrneHses of the Alps, and there they established their homes and sought to obtain a sustenance from the almost barren rocks. Ever since their descendants have continued the struggle against nature, always at increasing odds, for at frequent intervals landslides and avalanches have reduced by whole acres at a stroke the area of cultivatable soil, until now, in Fressinieres, there is hardly a &peck of land left upon which might be raised the little rye from which in years past tho inhabitants have made each November the stock of bread which had to last them the whole year through, bread that had to be cut with a crowbar in winter, aud with a hammer in summer. There are now in the valley twenty families who have been out of this bread for two months or longer. In the village of Dormillous, six thousand feet abovo the sea, whero snow covers tho ground six months of even year, and where for months together thero Is no communication with the outside world, because there is no louger a practicablo road left, there aro now neither cattle, nor bread, nor potatoes not so much as a grain of rye to sow, ora singlo potato to plant. The snow still covered the ground this year on the 20th of May, and it snowed hard and there was frost on May 18. There were fortytwo families there. Ten families have been taken away by the Protestant committee of Lyons and established at a village in Algiers, where they aro prospering. Tweu-ty-two other families, aided by a commit tee in Paris, are about to remove to auother Algerian village, and the remainder are making arrangements to emigrate to Tunis, which is now under a French protectorate. By September the last inhabitant of the town will have departed, aud the houses will be left deserted until some avalanche comes to swallow them up, as many a village before has been swallowed up in the same region. While waiting for the means tojeave the country they are starving, and the other inhabitants of the valley, whose situation is hardly less distressing, also demand the means to emigrate. "J nst see our country," said their pastor, recently, to a newspaper correspondent, "it is ruined. The mountain overwhelmed us. See, there was there a meadow tea hectares in extent the fortune of the whole village. See; ten hectares of stones; not a blade of grass. Look at our cows; they scarcely livo. They must descend to the edges of the Durance, two hours of road, in order to pasture on the willows over the gravel. See at my doors these women; they have come to ask for bread, and I have it no more!" "In our country," said another of theso unfortunate people, "there is nothing left, not even vipers!''

"And do you regr6t the vipers?'' "Certainly! The government paid os for the heads, the rest we ate. That is why there are none of them left." Tho Prefect of thedepartment was ranking his tour about the district a short timo ago, when he encountered in the road the whole population of thevillage of Chandun men, women and children with their Mayor at the head, coming to demand the means of emigrating. "We cannot livo there any longer," they said; "wo are dying in misery. We wish to go somewhere where we need not cease to be French citizens, but if the government cannot transport us to such a place, then we will listen to the emigration agents who solicit us. We will go to America, it matters not where." Unfortunarely tho French government cannot lawfully givo these peoplo anvof the assistance that they need to establish themselves in new homes, aud a private subscription for the purposo is now being undertaken in Paris. The idea is to send them to Tunis and maintain them there until they are able to sow and reap their first crop. Southern Ratio of White and Black. Sprinjrfield Republican. Judge Tourgeo's prophecy that the South would become negroized in a few docadei seems to be contradicted by the present census. In the opinion of the Now Orleans newspapers the whites have steadily outgrown tho negroes in Louisiana since 1SS0. In some parishes from which returns have been received this is known to be the case. Elsewhere in the South the same opinion prevails. The Atlanta Constitution accounts for this condition of things by the increased white immigration into tho South and the large death rate among the negroes. This death rate is nearly double that of tho whites, and largely offsets the excess of black births over white one. It will be interesting to test this opinion by the official figures. If it should prove to be correct, the South would breathe more freely, and the negro question bo so much nearer a sohition. For there is no negro question, in a political sense, in thoso States where, as in Texas, there is a majority of whites. A Veto Thrown Away. Pittsburg Dispatch. The farce of pretending to legislate upon an outrago to all law. the Louisiana State lottery, is nearing tho tag. The State Legislature having passed the bill for its owners, the lottery compare. Governor Nichols vetoed it Monday. Wo trust that Governor Nichols did this without considering the certainty of the Legislature's passing the bill over his veto. A veto was never better placed, but it will be of no avail. The lot tery company is a polyp that has fastened its tentacle upon the whole State of Louisiana. Tho only protection for the country lies in Congress. We trust Mr. Wanamaker will press for larger powers to light this Southern enemy. A great deal of its power for evil may be cut off' by stringent postal regulations. A National Wrong. Muncie Times. When a citizen of Indiana is cheated by the fraudulent election of a Congressman in Mississippi or Georgia no Democratic organ raises its voice against the fraud. On the contrary. Congress am! all who want to correct the crime are denounced as enemies of the peace of the country. Under such circumstances it is imperatively necessary that the federal election bill be passed, and the sooner the better. A MUtake Corrected. Pittsburg Chronicie-Teleraph. "John D. Rockefeller, of the Standard Oil Company, has given another $100,000 to the Baptist Educational Society," said the horse editor. "And yet some people say there is no affinity between oil and water," commented the snake editor. Moving In the Right Direction. Philadelphia Press. The federal election bill proposes nothing but the choice of the Representatives of the Nation under the supervision of tho Nation. Congress has been moving to this point for a century, and, while the present measure does not complete the work, it is exactly in line with what has gone before. High Art In Chicago.

A "POVERTY-STRICKEN STATE.

Some Tacts Showing the Sbamelessness of Louisiana's LotUiy Plea. Philadelphia Press. No more bare-faced plea was ever made for a step of gross public wrong than the current argument in New Orleans that Louisiana is poverty-stricken and needs the 1,250,000 to be annually contributed by the Louisiana Lottery Company. Louisiana has a larger urea than Ohio, and its population of 9oU94G in isao is. according to a claim more than'once mado in the last two years by tho journals advocating the lottery, now 1.200,000. New Orleans has risen to 240.000 from a population of 216,010 iu lbtO, and a like increase for the rest of the State will give a population of l.U'O.OOO. Like all the rest of the New South, Louisiana has increased in wealth during the last decade as never before. Its assessed value has risen from $n7.0W,4oO. in 1SS0. to $6,S12.2S8 in lStfJ. an advance of $49,;5,827, or ii3 per cent, over one-fourth. Tho Stato debt is 814,811,173, a low figure due to refunding, which reduced the debt almost one-half and State taxation is small, $1,505,120 in lSS'J. The crops of the State havo grown as rapidly as its valuation. The rice crop has rison from 1-S1.000 sacks in 1877-8 to 619.000 sacks in 1880-00, something over double. The coin crop of the State has advanced f rom 12.5S2.500 bushels in 1S79 to 19.919.000 bushels in lfcSO. au increase of over onehalf. Sugar is the crop of chief value in Louisiana, and in the last ten years this has risen from 23J,478,753 pounds in 1879 to S37,933.124 pounds in 1&9, another advance of nearly one-half, or 42 per cent. Tho cottou crop of the State was, in 18S0, 508.56J, and as "Louisiana receipts" of cottou, which inclndes cotton from adjoining States, remain as large as in ItibO, in spite of the great increase of Northern and rail shipments, the cotton crop is certaiuty no smaller, and is probably larger than then. The like is true of farm animals, which have neither increased nor decreased seriously during the decade. While Louisiana has valuable mineral wealth in its northern and northwestern territory, and is, we believe, destined to become au iron-miuiug State, this source of wealth has not yet been doveloped. Manufactures have been, however. In May, 18S0. Louisiana had but two cotton-mills, with 0,000 spindles and 120 looms; in July, 1S9, it had livo mills, C).2rf) spindles and 1,584 looms, a growth in looms and spindles of tenfold. In 1880 New Orieaus had but 915 manufacturing establishments, employing 8,404 hands, with a product of SlS.SOU.000; in the year ending Augusts, 18S9, there were 2,998 establishment, employing 24.297 hands, and with a product of $ 1 MC"J.00O. We doubt whether any Northern city as old as New Orleans has tuus trebled its manufactures in tcu years. Tho .railroad mileage of the State has risen from 62 miles in 1S80 to 1,047 in 1889, or two aud one-haif times the mileage at the opening of the decade. The commerce of New Orleans tells the same story. In 1S80 domestic reached $83,222,734 the highest in six years, or since the large exports early in the decade, which many ports have notsiuce exceeded. In the same way, since 1880, when clearings were at their lowest point all over the county, the transactions of the New Orleans Clearing-house have risen from $38b3'3,450, in 1S55, to $04,474,843 in 1SS0, au advance of 81 ner cent. In fact, at whatever point Louisiana is approached it shows an advance iu the past ten years of from 20 to 100 percent. Population, valuation, crops, railroads, bank clearings and commerce have all increased. Yet we are assured that the "poverty-stricken" State has no option but to take th; bribe offered by the lottery company. The plea is the llinmrtt of pretexts. Louisiana is deliberatelyselling its honor for a paltry sum at a time wlCh its progress leaves this venal prostitutiou without a shadow of au excuse. More than one Democratic paper is opposing the admission of Idaho and Wyoming on tho ground that these new States will be so small and poor as to be open to sinister influences. The rejection of the lottery bribe by North Dakota shows how far superior they aro certain to be to tho lax principle and mercenary motives of the Louisiana Legislature. But, whatever the result in Louisiana, it istheboundeu duty of a Republican Congress to make the privilege valueless by cutting off" tho lottery company from the mails, tho express companies, the banks, aud in general in the inters.ate commerce of the laud. m HILL AND CLEVELAND. The Governor's Adroit Political Moves One Speech for All Occasions. New York Correspondence Philadelphia Press. The Governor is a man who does not waste powder, and his friends have long known that he would waste none in the ccming canvass for the coming presidential nomination. He has felt that all that will be necessary for him to do to secure tho nomination would be to appear in convention as the candidate of New York, Indiana and New Jersey the three of the four Northern States upon which the Democracy miiMt rely. Therefore, when the opportunity came to go to Indianaaudmako his personality felt there, he was glad to accept it. The speech which he delivered was written somewhat hurriedly, but. as it was practically the same speech which he always delivers, it was easy for him thus to compose it. We have had no man in public life here who so continually harped unon tho same string as the Governor has done; so that now the belief is general that if you read one of his old political speeches on national issues you would know what he wasjgoing to say in his next address. Since his return from Indiana he has made evident tho closeness of his relations with Tammany, having received the leading men in that organization, in company with some of the leading politicians ot New Jersey. It is believed that he has already stretched out his hand towards Governor Abbett for a Now Jersey alliance in pursuance of tho plan of bin which contemplates the selection of Hill delegates from New York, Indiana and New Jersey. The autipathy which Cleveland has shown on several occasions heretofore to meotfng Governor Hill may account for tho explanation given for his refusal to go to Indiauapolis. Upon several occasions since Cleveland has come to New York to live ho has declined to be present at entertainments when it was certain that the Governor would be there, and there was considerable finessing done last winter to secure the attendance of the ex-President and the declination of the Governor upon tho occasion of a great banquet to the Supreme Court judges. Hill and Hendricks would have been congenial. Hill and Cleveland were congenial until their ambitions clashed, but as between Cleveland and Hendricks it was a case of mutual antipathy. Thev disliked each other on sight, aud this feeling developed into something even stronger. Remembering, therefore, tho constraint which existed between them when President and Vice-president, and bearing in mind his aversion to meeting Hill in any public place, it is regarded as not strange that the ex-President declined to attend the dedication of a monument to his associate on the presidential ticket. The declination may not hurt people much here. Whatever injury has been done to his cause has been long sinco done, and one of his stanrhest friends only yesterday said to me, "Cleveland is gono unless his friends immediately get together and work as they never worked before for him. They have little encouragement from him to do this, and they cannot understand whether his supremo complacency and self-sufficiency leads him to believe that tho nomination will come to him on a gold platter, or whether he thinks that the loud-mouthed utterances of devotion of his friends in the South and West to be sutlicient, is a question which his friends here cannot determine." It is rather amusing to see some of the opponents of Cleveland now praising Hendricks by way of contrast. One of the newspapers which is doing this oncesaid. "That Hendrickscould never be President because ho chewed too much tobacco," and when this opinion is brought in contrast with a publication in its columns of this later day, and which commends Hendricks as a gentleman, it is likely to give rise to rather curious rejections. I understand that Hill is expected to go to New Jersey this fall and make one or two addresses, but Mr. Cleveland will not be invited there, at least by tho politicians. Overlooked by the Centut-Taker. Texas Slfllufrs. The man who has been overlooked by the census-taker is turning up all over the country. He considers it an outrage, and writes to the editor about it. He wants to know if we aro living underan enlightened government, or are simply groveling in Congo ignorance. Sometimes he prints a card over his own name, giving his street and number, "where I may bo found by anyone," he adds sarcastically, "unless ho be a census enumerator, who seems to be unable to find anyone." He is tho one,

likely at not, who remonstrated loudest against the "inquisitorial features" of the new census, threatening to die rather than reply to tho odious questions authorized by the Census Bureau. But the enumerator missed him and now be is mad because be didn't have an opportunity to tell about his physical disorders and explain how he came to have a mortgage on his house instead of a mansard roof. Whole cities are mdiguant, too, aud their newspapers print long editorials teeming with angry remonstrance and columns of names of citizens who have been overlooked by the census-taker. Why, wo had a greater population than that ten years ago, cries Kansas City, and St. Louis wauts to kuow what encouragement there is for a city to attain a phenomenal growth in thio country If they cannot be properly represented on thft census rolls. But it will all bemade right finally. m 'AMERICAN JOURNALISM.

Rudyard Kipling Points Out What lie Considers Its Weak Spots. Interview In New York Vcrld. "I notice that in your letters home you were particularly severe on our American newspaper." "That is because I am a newspaper man," said Mr. Kipling, "and trained to deal with things as J lind them. In most of the largo cities I went to I made acquaintance with your newspaper man, and wonderfully good felloes most of them were. 1 enjoyed nothine better than to go around with tho boys. But my first experience with an American reporter in San Francisco was not encouraging. One of them grappled with me before I had left the ship. What ho wanted to know was the area of India in square miles. . I referred him. to Whittaker. He had never heard of Whittaker. He wanted it from my own mouth, and I would not tell him. Then he swerved off to details ot journalism in the country. When I ventured to suggest that the interior economy of a. paper most concerned tho people who worked it, he protested. "'That's the very thing that interests us,' he said. 'Have yon got reporters anything likoour reporters, or Indiau newspapers?' "'We have not,' I said, and suppressed the Thank Godr that was rising to my lips. " 'Why haven't you? said he. 'Because they would die,' I said. "It was exactly like talking to a child a very rude little child. He wonld begin almost every sentence with; 'Now toll me something about India,1 and would turn aimlessly from ono questiou to tho other without the least continuity. I was not angry," but keenly interested. The man was a revelation to me. To his questions 1 returned answers mendacious and evasive. After all.it really did not matter what 1 said, lie could not understand. I can only hope and pray that one of my readers in India will never see that portentous interview. The man made me out to be an idiot several sizes more driveling than my destiny iutended, and through the rankuess of his ignorance' managed to distort the few facts with which I supplied him into large and elaborate lies. Then thought I. 'the matter of American journalism shall be looked into later on. At present I will enjoy myself." p Later ou Mr. Kipling did write about American newspapers, with a vengeance. Here is what ho said from Chicago during the Cronin trial: 'Within the past few weeks I have learned what it is to be ashamed of ray profession. To their credit be it'said that tho average American journalist disdains any idea ot teaching or elevating bis public. Not one, but scores, of newspaper men havo said to me: 'WTe aren't responsible for the moral of the people. We givo 'em what they want.' Gentlemen not in the profession have bade me watch the papers in the hand of the crowd, and noto how a cheap press was elevating the people. I prefer to uolieve.the journalists. They are responsible for publications which are a lively and perfect jmage of a purposeless hell. With inhnitejains and the expenditure of a vast amount ot money, they produce day by day newspapers that ought to move a man to despair. 'And yet they are amusing when one gets over the recurrence thrill of horror. The 'direction of a leading San Francisco journal afloat on the boundless sea of continental politics has lately been moving me tntears of graceless merriment. They wero grappling with a European crisis, and naturally spoke of 'old Bismarck,' 'young William,' and so forth, in the true repu blican spirit, aud the way in which the royalties and diploraates of effete Europe were banged aud jumbled about was amazing.'. The writer was going to have Europe fixed to rights somehow, though he wasted half a column over it. if in the setting he igriored not more than threo of the conditions under which Europe lies, and showed an-all-embracing ignorance of the history . of therpast five years, the default did not weiithtfbib radiant spirit. A man does not know what genuine American humor means till he watches a journal sailing out upon the vast .profouud of 'Russia and the Balkan states.' The outlook in France,' or something similar. But mirth dies in face of their studies. It is not amusing to read again and again at breakfast in the papers from Chicago, Cincinnati, New York, and the rest, coarse and ill-considered attacks on England, her Oneen. her court, her customs and everything that is hers. Were the expressions of dislike genuine and prompted, let us say, by tho unqnenched hate of a hundred years, they would bo laudable enough, though hardly wise. But both those who write and those who read are at pains to assure you that the outpouring is nothing more than a daily performance gone throngh for tho purpose of catching the Irish eye. Here, then, wo find a nation descended from Anglo-Saxon stock compelled to swear so many times per annum at the land of her birth by order of an alien who does not happen to approve of the aforesaid land. Ihe vituperative skittles may or may not find its way to England, where it does no barm beyond helping to still further corrupt overdecaying speech, but what is the effect on the average American-citizen? Does he, without exception, know that it is all play ugly play because it is compulsory, but plaj none the less or docs he believe in it and mould his notions accordingly? I should very much like to find out. At present I cannot understand. "From the first to the tenth-rate journal this noto of uueasiness runs without break. The leading journals of New York will devote time and space that is presumably valuable to rebuking n President's son for being 'overcome by monarchial inffuences,' the said son on a European tour morely having made himself pleasant, as every man of the world should do to his hosts. This is provincialism, rank, untamed, contemptible, but pathetic. Some day circumstances will call theso journals to account for making fools of their clientele. It is not useful in seasou and out of season to pander to every form of pride that grows in the breast of a nation to tell the town thaf there was never liner city on the sod, the village that there was never sturdier commune, the man that there was never better citizen, or the author and poet that they excel their brethren throughout the earth because the earth is a very big plat e, stocked with some remarkably large men, and the end of these dreamings is an uncomfortable awakening, or. if not, at least the lowering of self-respect." For the Boating Season. Buffalo Express. A few rnles might be formulated for the benefit of men who know nothing about the handling of a sail or even an oar. Wo would suggest these: 1. Don't take more than six women out boating when the water is rough. 2. Don't take six women out when tho water isn't rough. a: Don't take any women out in either case. 4. Don't go yourself. Theso four "don'ts," carefully followed, will prevent great loss of life. It wouldn't be a bad idea to paste them up in a boathouse. ; " Very Distressing:. Philadelphia Prens. The strong probability of a duel between General Jubal Early and Major Lacy, another ex-officer of the confederate army, is distressing and discouraging. Just think of it!

MORRIS, real-estate and loan apeut, 94 East Market street, city, under date June 30, 1890, eays: Cleatcland Fence Co., Indianapolis: Gents I have had considerable experienca in Farm Fencing. I consider your horizontal brace corner, that you put up for me, with the anchor and guy running from intermediate post, the only perfect fence corner ever constructed, as it does not change its position, and the brace does not help lift the corner out of the ground, as the old-fashioned braced corner always did. I consider that you have solved the Farm Fence Corner question. N. N. MORRIS. It is sweeping; the field in every Stato where it has "been introduced. It does not injure stock, wires cannot break, and is low priced. Send for circulars.
