A. O. Spalding is to take an active partin
baseball next season. It was announced
yesterday that he -win havca guldiug hand
in the direction of the affairs of tho Chicago
club, or which he Is one or tho heaviest
stockholders. He will probably succeed
Halt as presldeut of the Windy City aggre
gation. Spalding'sdctermlnallon to resume an a c
the part in baseball matters Is said to bo
principally due to his desire to protect-his
trade ill I crests, which arc closely related to
the national game. The tail made by his
Xlrm is the official ball of the league. For
some time, it Is said, Al Reach, of the Phil
adelphia eiub, has been endeavorlngto
upplant the Spalding ball with the ball
made by Beach's rirm. Then Spalding's
most important Interests are bound up with
the dubs In this section or the country. In
lew of tho belligerent attitude- or the
Western and Eastern clubs Spalding deems
It wise for the Interests of the game to take
lively Interest In the league. J

Musket was originally Imported to Aus
tralia, from England.
It was thougiiL at the time, by the
shrewd Britishers that he was ot little
or no account, but he proved to be the
sire or so many great winners that there
has time been a demand both In England
and this country for the Musket blood.
Mr. J. B. llnggln Imported Maxlra. one of
Muskit's tons, about three sears ago. Ax

What would undoiiliredly'bp the athletic
event ot the decade would be a meeting
between M. F. Sweeney, holder of the
world's high Jump record, feet r. n-8
Inches, and J F. Ityan, who holds the Euro
pean record of 0 feet 4 1-2 Inches. It Is
well known that such a meeting Is Swce
nej's ambition, and, although he Is too
modest to anticipate a victory, he feels
coulldent that the winner woukl have
to Jump higher than mortal man ever got
oeiorc- wiiuoui niu. -
Sweeney, who does most of hiB training
inuoors, nas in use great discretion to pre
vent th accumulation or sliirenlng or mus
cle, and he leels that another seas. in or
all-jround gymnastics will lnterrere with
his jumping powers. There Is reason to lie
lleve Hint lie has refused a hlghlv remunera
tive position In gs'mnnstics in order to in
sure, it possihi., a decisive competition
with Uyan. The latter is roganled as In
vincible on the other side, and in recent
j cars he has never met a Jumper callable
or extending hlui. The same applies to
hweeney In this country, and should this
marvelous iair ever meet It Is sale to as
sume that, the high-jump standard will
reach a limit which a few years ago
would have been regarded as Impossible.
At the present writing tlie Plttsb'trE
baseball club Has no, less than :hlrt-oue
plaM-rs, ami Manager M.iek has not been
heard from ror several days. He may have
lauded a lew more on the quiet. Just
what the dub proposes doing with all this
"talenf'lsnotqulteplaln. .
It has been rumored that the Intention
is to take a franchise in one of the minor
leagues apd use this as a sort or tialning
school, but when questioned on this point
President Kerr declines lo make any p,I
tlve stnteiueuts. Tlie plan has been tried
by Presldeut Brush, the owner of the
Cincinnati and Indtanniiolis clubs, who
has made mouey out of liotti teams.
1L ll.lellL not Isl a nan Idea Tor llm I'llls-
burg club to place a teaiu In the proposed
Central League. It could be nin at a
small cost, and the management siuld al
ways have a number or young players to
rail back on in case or injury lo members
or the league dub. The central circuit has
not been completed, and President Kerr
could no doubt get a rrancbiso ror tho
asking. Last year the rittsburg club paid
out no small amount of cash for young play
ers who were stars in the very minor
leagues, and some of them have panned out
quite satisfactorily. This being the case,
the owners of the club could save money,
perhaps make a little, by conducting thPlr
own training school. '
For several years it has been Uie custom
forsomeof thebest American riders tospend
tlie summer season riding on European
tracks and scooping In roreign golil. but
next year, according to rumors from Paris,
this will be reversed, and Protln, the fastest
sprinter Iu all Europe, and probably other
well-known riders with him, will make tliu
trip to this country for the same purpose.
Protln, It Is said, lias written to two Amer
ican rirms, asking to beallowed to ride tnelr
wheels tor a consideration and one Wisit-
em rirm has nude an orfer. iris not prob
able that Banker will leave America, next
season, so the prospects for a fast pro
fessional colony are bright. While Johnson
may go abroad to race Michael, the Welsh
man, Banger, Tyler, Berlo, Starbuck and
the thousand and one other riders for rcmii
will remain to make things interesting'
here and elsewhere.
It is regrettable lhat cross-country run
ning is not better supported in this coun
try, as It is one of the most enjoyable
and healthful exercises. In England manv
football players, cyclists, sprinters, and
other athletes have an ocaional slow
run, which keeps them In condition
through the winter, so that when they
start hard training in the spring they are
lo a measure prepared for it.
Those athletes who rest entirely from
the end of the flat racing season to the
beginning of the next always find the
first few weeks ot training very irksome
and severe. Many English clubs offer
special prizes -for the first footballer, cy
clist anil novice, and also a prize to the
club with the largest muster. Another
pleasant feature In connection with the
sport l the smoking concerts which on
ually follow the runs and arc generally
attended by many old cross-country run
ners who still like to Identify themselves
with their favorite jlastiroe.

Yale is entitled to a bit more credit

President Hanlon Is swinging around the
circle trying to secure enough clubs In
form a dreult Tor the Pennsylvania State
League mr next year. The iromiio ,-. s
to be that Hjnloii pays too much attention
to the little towns nnd uut enough to the
big ones. Neither l'ork nor Lebanon will
support State League clubs and It Is roily
10 taUe them in. Caton has proven that
It can and will support a dub under good
management, and jet Hanlon entliclv Ig-iion-s
it. About the best circuit that can be
made up now woukl Include Carbotidale,
Hail-tnii. Allentovvn, Caeton, Potlbvllle,
Reading. Lancaster, ll.irrislinrg, and Phil
adelphia. Here are nine cities, and It is
reasonably certain that eight or them can
be secured without wasting lime on other
places.
For those who prefer to rido without
a brake a very useful suggestion can Im
cifrcreil that will aid them In batk-pedal-lng.
Take a piece of insulated wire and
make a loop of it by fjsiening Its ends on
thelusldu and outside or tnc-pc-dal. lryou
use toe clips so much the bitter, for jnu
-au pass the wire through the hole In the
tip or the dip before carrjing the end across
to the inside. Tuc point is to nave a loop
so that when the fool Is on I he pedal It is
thrul iindtr the wire and held spuglv-. If
this Is not crrected you ran check the v heel,
not only by pressing down on the riMng
pedal, but can also hold II back oh the low
ering iKslal, and jou will find the help so
gnat as to enable you to maku the rear
wheel drag down hill If you choosu to have
11 do so.

Somerville, N- J., Dec. 2. Charles fie h wed,
a clothier of this place, has had a re
markable experience with his hair. About
a year ago Mr. Sthwed was the possessor
of as fine a head or jet black nair as one
c-ould desire, but it Is-gan to fall out, not
slowly, but actually by .the handful", until
In a remarkably then time he was com
pletely bald.
A new crop of hair then started nnd
grew to a considerable length, but It was
as white as snow, and for a few months
Mr. Sthwesl, though comparatively young,
was gracssl by the hoarfrost or eighty years;
but Mi did not Inst long. Iu a short time
there begnirto appear anild Ihe silver locks
small pat dies of jet black hair.
Three grew larger anil larger, gradually
rooting out the white hair, until today Mr.
Rchwed ban a hend or hair almost as black
as his original one. Mr. ycbwcsl has no
disease or the scalp, therefore this seems
the more remarkable. The turning or
black hair Into white in a single night has
often been heard or, but turning of white

is certainly a new departure In the rrcaks

HE HAD A CHANCC.
L'p to any pcriud within tweuty-rour

there was a possibility for Grn. Henderson's
winniug. He and his managers had the

They wailed until the last moment for
some overture to be made, but none came,
and they simpk) arrived at the conclusion
that. In tnis instance at least, practical
politics was preferable to seuUii.ent.
An Indiana ice inner. In conver-dug with
The Times reporter on Tuesday, said the
delegation was leaning strongly toward
Gen. Htndfrson, and would douoUcss lall
Into line at the proper time. Wheutne
caucus was held, less man forty-eight hours
later, twelve out or thirteen vote were
pledged to McDowell.
Alter theadualresultsof Saturday night's

Iowa members said:
"Gen. Henderson might as well have
had the Ohio and Indiana, delegations as
McDowell. We were naturally in
clined to go with the Western candidate, and
ail or us liked Gen. Henderson. We v-ould
nave been glad to vote Tor him ror Clerk

"When we talked with them, and asked

we got a rair understanding or the situation:

that It would be undignified ror them to do

COMING TO THE THEATEKS.
Clara Morris, one of the most Interesting
actresses before tho public, comes lo the
Grand Opera House this evening ror a
weeks engagement. There are- rew aer-
tressesnrtne present tmio who p,issesssueh
remarkable emotional powers ns Clara
Morris and there are still rewer who cau
act with such fervor and Intensity. -
Her impersonations ol sueh characters as
Camllle and Cora, in "Artleie 47" are so
real, so lifelike, that mice seen the charac
ters will never be rorgotten. They lwe-onie
living creatines, many of whose ill lerances
we never forget. This Is the test of a great
artist.
Miss Morris has shown herself possessed In 1
an equal degree or mac personal distinc
tion. iiitchVetual character, versatility and
power of charm that distinguish her from
nil others on the boards. Versatility is tier
greatest distinction, for, unlike other ac
tresses whose great suis.esses have bceu
ae-hieved lu some special Held, Miss Morris
has, with a repertoire of over leici roles,
triumphed In nil.
Therepertoire selected for her engagement
Mere is a brilliant one and hasbeenarrangeil
as follows: Monday night she will appear
In her great impersonation or Cora in
"A rticle -17." Tuesday and Saturday nights
nua nc ine Wednesday maiinee she win
be seen tor the rirst time In .Washington in
her latest and most successrul play. "Itay
moude," which is an adaptation or Dumas'
"Monsieur Alphonse." The story or tlie
play Is a icry strong one, dealing wllh a
woman with a past, but notwithstanding
this Tact It Is a clean storv, and not one
of those i-rutlc plavs with whlci thestagehas
been deluged of late. On Wislnesday nnd
Friday nights Miss Morris will-appear in
her well-known character or "Miss Moul
ton." On Thursday night and Saturday
matinee she will be seen In Camllle," In
which character she Is without a peer. Her
supporting company comprises Mls Lavinia
Shannon or Washington and others equally
as well kuown.
The most Important event of the coming

nuce of Nat. C. Goodwin at the N.illonal
Tneater this evening, when he will
present for the rirst ttmo in this city his
latest success, "Ambition," written by
Henry Guy Carleton.
The play Illustrates official and social lire
in Washington. Several American authors
have been s'lccessrul In putting sucli matter
on the stage, and others have r.iil.si. It
remained ror Mr. Carlt ton's talents to place
bis name on the triumphant list.
The theme or Ambition" is a popular
one. Inasmuch as It deals particularly with
the affairs, public and private, or Senator
Ubadlah Beck, chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Affairs. Ho is the leader of his
Sarty, and is sought by the President as
ecretary of State, aud after refusing Ihe
nrricehecau8ehedirrcrswlththchcadotthi
Department as to the policy or the United
States on the Cnban revolution, he Is urged
to be their leading candidate ror the Presi
dency. At no time has Mr. Goodwin ever been
seen to better advantage. His supporting
company Is exceptionally strong, including,
ns it does, such versatile artists as Miss
Annie Russell. Jean Clara Walters. Ethel
Browning, Estellc Mortimer. George Faw
cett, C. F. Montnlne, Henry Bergman, Louis
Payne, J. D. Saville. Arthur Hoopes, John
T. Craven, and others. The scenic environ

for completeness, and the advance sale of
seats has been very large.

Is so beautirully blendisl with historical
events In a sister republic iu South Amer

and excitement for three hours.
In "Thy: White Squadron" there Is a his

"Congress ot Navies, which occurred In
Brazil. Here it was shown that t he Ameri
can flag was able to command the resis-ct of
any of the nations represented lu tho 'Con

"Tlie White Squadron" abounds In tome
ot the most interesting characters in the
hlstqry of the stage, and as the play dcvel
opsrthe audience can hardly realize that
they are not witnessing thrilling episodes
In real life.
Such plays as "The Whtto Squadron" are
delights to the Intellectual, for they sow

Returning miners and prr,sirclors from
Alaska tell difrerjng stories 'or their hunt
ror gold. Some have leen successful,
some have railed. There Is oik- man, how
ever, who came down on the last trip ot
the steamer Topeka, who thinks be has
found such n fortune that he is almost
afraid to tolk about It, for, he saj s, -jieople
could not believe it."
Hans Christian Pande. an eld sea cap
tain and a former resident of Tukoiiia.
Is the- man who believes he has round a
treasure. He, with seven others, has
taken up 15b acres about eighteen miles
from Sitka, and It is called "Pumle's basin
placer claim." Within the limits or the
claim is a lake 1,000 jards long. 4(10 yiirds
wide and ICO rect dee-p. The lake Is red
by water rrom a glacier alrfive. and lt
outlet Is only tworeet deep, a little stream
that hurries at lightning speed down the
canon lieiow. The action or the glacier.
which has been going on for centuries,
probably has brought down from the
mountains above large deposits of flour
gold, and this has all, of cecelty been
Ill-Id within the liounaane or me nine
boely of water. The action of IN' glacier,
the deepness ot the lake and the shallow,
ness of the outlet is the combination
which. Mr. ramie thinks. lias overall tho
bottom or the lake with millions of dollar
In flour gold.
Assays or Vind from the shores of the
lake, made by J. A. Becker, an Tissajcr at
Sitka, show that It will produce the al
most unbelievable result of $8 and $10 u
cubic yard. The state-mem that hairacnt
a cubic yard will allow a man to make
$10.01)0 n j ear will Illustrate thesiz.'or Mr.
Pande' find. He says that he oan not, of
course, believe or hope lhat these assays
will be borne out by future developments,
but If he can only get a esmiparatively
small part of that amount he will be sat
isfied. What Mr. Pande and hi-, associates
want to do is to tap the rock wall of tb
lake on the lower side so that the water
can be almost entirely draimsl out. Thn,
Mr. Pande thinks, a Held or Hour pild will
lie before him.
Mr. Pande's golden Mecca Is reached only
by ihe gre-atest hardship ami danger, arid
he and two companions he claims, are tlie
only persons who ha e iver ci une Uick allv
from the little lake. The outlet stream,
while onlv- two re-c-t deep, has such a swift
current That when the discoverers were
crossing it the icy waters swept up over
their heads, and It was only by clinging
with tcnaelous grip to a rope that had
lieen caught on the other side that they
were saved rrom delruetlon It Is Im
possible to reach the place lu winter, and
