The work of the Washington team the last four days of the past week fully demonstrates that the club knows how to play the game in the manner it should be played a fact the loyal rooters have be lieved from the start. Mr Wagnei la especially well ple.'i.-ed with the fast playing of his aggregation, and while "he is not throwing any bouquets at himself , t ha look of satisfaction thu( rests on his countenance these days is sufficient evidence that he is on pretty good teiins with himself as a manager. The winning of the first game after the change-la the management of the club was not considered by the faint-hearted to be a great feat in fact, it was no moie than was expected but when victory .ol lowed victory until four btralght were recordetl.it hud to be acknowledged aat the new elixir injected Into the Senators was the "proper stuff " With the Improved playing of the team as a whole should come a reversal of form among the pitchers. The support of the box artists is right up to the standard, and cannot fail to spurvthem on to their best efforts. Thu victory over Donovan's Piratical crew froiu, ymoketown on Saturday was doubly gratifying, as "Hungry 1 all" Kil len pitched for Pittsburg The ex-Senator has gone down to defeat before the local team both times he has essayed to twirl against them, and he may ask another chance to go In the box for the Pirates before the present beries closes, as Frank Is a very hard loser, especially In a town where he Is ab well known as he is iu this city.

The chanceb are tl.at the Pirates will go away from Washington with three defeats. Manager Donovan's prediction that clean and sharp fielding and good pitching would make up largely for weak hitting has not been fulfilled The pitching and the field ing have been there all right In a majority of the games, but theother teams have won the games by small scores simply because the Pittsburg players could not hit the ball when hits meant runs Pittsburg Leader. Steve Brodie got a fatherly letter from President Young the other day, in which he told Walter he should be more careiul when addressing the umpires, as his lan guage was not the best. "Steve" did not like the letter, and sent it back to Uncle Nick with a letter, ia which he stated that his correspondence had become o volumi nous that he did not have time to read all his mail, and that hereafter. If he wibhedto address him on any subject that he would have tc do so through the public press Wilbert Robinson is Waltei Brodie's beau ideal of a backstop. "Robbie,'' declared the old Oriole, "lb the mainspring of the Baltimore team. Heisthe brainiesteatcher in the League today, and is better posted on the weaknesses otbattcrs than any othei backstop in the country. Robinson has done more than his share toward making sliccessfulpitchersof the Baltimore twirlers and the way they have been hit since he went to tlicbench disabled sliowbthat when he Is out of the battery combination his counsel is missed.'' Pitcher Doheny has been suspended for two months by President Freedman. The cause is insubordination, breach of discip line aud interlerenue with other members of the team. For some reason, which may be easily guessed, he has shown a disposi tion to vent a good deal of spite upon Sey mour while in practice. Saturday, on a trivial pretext, it is said he threatened to assault the joutig pitcher. Lately he has been wrangling with Davis and every mem ber of the nine who he thought failed to support him when lie pitched. Joyce could not control or curb him. However, Washington is dispensing pen nant ball at present, and, as Hugh Nicol, manager of the St. Louis club, said last night:- "They are fit to give Balti moie and Boston a warm argument." The releases of Schmelz and Caitwright, and the addition of the peppery Tucker, has Infused new life Into the erstwhile eolcmii Senators, and they are playing sc lively that even their best friends are surprised. As to the knockers, they have put up their hammers and gone Into re tirementelse to the bleachers, where they arc rooting their lungs loose from their chests.- Washington Special in Pittsburg Leader The Pittsburg Dispatch says: The mat ter of greatest Importance to Pittsburg pa trons of the game has been the continued bad showing or the local team. To say the leuGt, the team has, since it left home, been in a very bad condition; but as to whom to hold responsible for this con dition of things, is another matter. One can hardly lay the blame on the manage ment, for the gieat defect has been the usual lack of hitting. It Is hardly fair to argue that u manager can make a man hit the ball when he is not able. Some of the best players on the team have "fallen" to pieces, and in many respects have shown themselves to he quitters of the rankest kind. A quitter is the worst kind of a ball player, and gets less respect from the public than the worst player on the diamond who is a game man. Donnelly has proven himself to be I a quitter of the rankest kind.

Henry Smith, of Baltimore, Does Some Fast Wheeling. Barry Park's record of two hours and thirty minutes between Washington aud Baltimore, which so many have tried to lower and failed, has a5 last been broken The successful rider was Henry Smith, of the Monumental City, who has succeeded in lowering a number of records resently. Yesterday Smith rode from the foot of the Capitol steps, east front, to Gwynn's Falls Bridge, theedge of Baltimore city, in 2 hours, 3 minutes and 10 1-2 seconds. The distance is about forty miles. Mr. Isaac Horner, propiietoi of the Bur ton House. Button. W- Va., and one of the moat widely known men in the State, was cured of rheumatism after thiee years of suffering. He says: "I have not suflicient command of language to convey any idea of what I suffered My physicians told me that nothing could be done for me; and my friends were fully convinced that noth ing but death would lelieve me of my suffering. In June, 1 S94, Mr. Evans, then salesman for the Wheeling Drug Co.,recom- .mended Chamberlain's Pain Balm. At this time my foot and limb were swollen to more than double their natural size, and it seemed to me my leg would burst; but soon after Ibegan using the Pain Balm, the swelling began to decrease, the pain to leave, and now I consider that I am entirely cured.

Putting a live snake in his wife's bed was one of the charges on which R. S. Cunningham, a Slippery Rock farmer, was yesterday ar rested and entered bail. On another oc casion, she says, he put a live toad in the bed, and later on tome salty stuff in her coffee. She is afraid he will kill her. Cunningham about a year ago adver tised in a Pittsburg newspaper for a housekeeper. The advertisement suited that phe was wanted more as a companion than anything else. A pretty widow of Pittsbutg answered the advertisement, and came to live at the Cunningham home. Mrs. Cunningham did not like this ar rangement, and on account of the attention bet-towed upon the widow by her husband, family tiouble followed. Cunningham wanted his wife to leave, it is said, but she refused. Finally matters resulted in the pretty widow going back to Pittsburg. Cunningham subsequently sued for di vorce, on the ground of cruel and bar barous treatment, but couldn't prove his charge, and the case was dismissed. Outing of the Junior Mechanics.
