There was no game at National Park yesterday afternoon Tin. grounds weie too wet and the Clcvt-l&ud Indians had to be satisfied with only two victories. But there was a pleasing event among the Senators, notwithstanding the rain. The Senators gave Mr. Schmtlz a sur prise as a token of their good will. Tom Brown was the spokesman, and In well chosen words he, on behalf of the players, presented their late manager with a handsome diamond-studded Elk emblem as a token of their esteem. It was a fitting close to Mr. Schmelz's connection with the club, and it came to him in the kindest regards. The recipient was visibly affected, but he accepted the token in ills usual good style. Mr. Earl Wagner was present and he also made a few appropriate remarks Tliis afternoon the rejuvenated St. Louis club will be the attraction at National Park. They conic from Baltimore, where they played a stand-off series with the Orioles, the third game being presented by rain yesterday afternoon. Among the Browns, will be young Barley, who played ball In Washington for many years. He will play in center field. Grady, the Tarrigan, late of the Quakers will bo on first, and Haliman, another ex-Quaker, will be on second. Hnrtman, a new man in this section of the League circuit, will be on third, and Donoliue, the chestnut-haired twirler, will probably be ou the rubber The three games with the St Louis team will be very interesting, as the visitors nre the labt In the race, and the Senators the nearest club to them, and not many points away. The Washingtons arc butone game in advanceof the Von der Ahe aggregation in games won, and the latter have lost six more than the states men. the visiting team Is in the Senators" class, and the battle will be about an equal affair, with thechancesin favor of thehome team. It will be the first game under the direct management of Treasurer Earl Wag ner, and juet what difference. If any, this fact will make, it will be Interesting to note. The men naturally will put forth their best efforts, as they always have done, but it may be that the hoodoo was carried away In the rain, which made yesterday a miserable June day. Mr Wagner will go very blow In the selection of a manager, and if he him self would direct the general work of the te?un a bcttei showing might result Thai he will secure one or two new men is pretty well understood, and as his judg ment is way above the average the chances are that a few more gingery Tuckers will wear Senatorial togas in the near future Five games were postponed on account of rain yesterday. Boston, however, man aged to squeeze in a game, and by its vie tory over the Pirates crawled closer to the Baltlmoies. The Beaneaters will have the Louisvllles today, and the Clew laud Indians will make their '97 initial appearancein Baltimore. Tbesctwo games will be watched all over the country. Sockalexls will hear a unique yell al Dysteitown, and will be a great atlrac tlon in the city of pennant wlnera. Amnteur Ball Players. The Trinidad baseball team defeated the Eastern Colt.

Another Intimates that McAleer played one game and was immediately "Charley horsed;" then adde: "Isn't It time now to unwrap ttie spice cloths from McGarr aud set hlrn up?" The Cleveland World says: "Cuppy has a sore arm. Wilson's feet are asleep Young has a wooden wing andMcDermott is wild.

Je7.9.l214LlGa7-?m Will Take Pluce Tonight at the Palace Athletic Club. New York. Juno S.-The Interest in the heavyweight battle between Peter Maher and Tom Sharkey, which takes place nt the Palace Athletic Ciub tomorrow evrn ing, Increases as the hour of the, content draws near. All the prominent cittes in the East will be represented by delegations of sporting men. Walter Sllchte will be In charge of a party of 400 from Philadelphia. Yank Sullivan will accompany a large pmty from Syracuse; Jimmy Coiville and 500 sporting enthusiasts fiom Boston have en gaged seats for the show. Of the little betting that has been done today Maher Is the pronounced favorite, Dick Ryan, a New York bport, yesterday bet S500 to $250 that the Irish champion would defeat Sharkey. Maher and Sharkey are both in the pink of physical condition, the result of four weeks' hard, faithful training. Maher is bo confident of winning that he told his friends that it would.be all over in ten rounds. Maher flgure.fi that he is much cle'verer than the sailor pugilist and that be can also hit a much liarder blow than Lynch's piotege. He says that Sharkey is a rushing fighter, and he lias always been able to defeat any man who Infiglits him. In pioof of this state ment, he points to his fight with Choynski While the Cnllfomian had a long range, honors between them were about even, but as boon as Choynski i untied Maher quickly put him out in the sixth round. Sharkey is also very sanguine of success, and says he is bure he will make Ycry shot work of Maher. He figures that the contest -will be Over in Mx rounds, and that lie will be the victor. Sharkey says that if he defeats Maher he can secure backing against KitzMmnioiib for $1,000 Chief or Police Conlin said today that he would allow no slugging at the fight nnd that sparring for points only would, be allowed, "Of couihe," he added, "there rnfgh bo an incidental blow ou the nose that would cause blood to flow. I should not be disposed to legard that as an infraction of the law, because it is liable to occur at any contebt. But the fight will be btopped at the flist blgn of brutality." The police, headed by two inspectors, will be out in foice to see that the chief's orders are obeyed. Champion FiUsinimons has an opinion that is well worth considering In view of the fact that he has fought both prin cipal He inclines to the belief that Maher will win, but points out the fact that Sharkey lb very hard to hurt "I btoke one of my hands on Shnikey's head,'' said Fitzsimmons today, "and soon found out that it wab a waste of strength to hit him there. But when I reached his b-dy I bent him If Maher dees not win quickly Sharkey will have a chance." The battle is rnr a purse of $12,000 and the referee will be James Coiville, of Bos- ton. n J ' !

WARDEN LEONARD ANSWERS Jail Physician Ordered Chapman's Privileges, He Says. The Grnud Jury's Trip to the Jail. Verbal Report Forestalled by Chief Justice Bingham. . The answer of Warden Ltonird filed jesterday to the petition of Lawrence Ball, is practically a denial of every charge set forth in the petition. The warden admits that Broker Chapman has received many privileges not accorded prisontrs under Mie routine of ordinary rules in force at the District Jail, but accounts for this by a certificate from the jail physician. Dr. D. K. Shute, who fetates that all of the special privileges accorded Chapman were In pursuance to his orders. Warden Leonard denies that any frienda of Ball were denied admittance during the hours prescribed for visitors. He says many prisoners other than Chapman a.e accorded the freeddm of the rotunda and corridor, and he says that no letters leave the jail written by Chapman that are not btibjectedto the scrutiny of thoseiu charge. He says that Chapman was given an addi tional cell .simply because the one next his was unoccupied. It is not unusual, he says, for prisoners to be allowed furniture in their cells that will add to their com fort, and It it furnished by their re-lathes or friends. No prisoner, he says, who has ever been confined during his capacity as warden has more scrupulously con formed to prison regulations than Chapman. He says the privileges claimed by Ball to be denied him aud permitted Chapman arc only given to persons detained as witnesses, persons not classed as criminals, the sick or those In delicate health, or prisonero assigned to service or labor In or about the prison. To all of these fore going classes greater liberty is allowed. Warden Leonard says that a great miuy ot the facts seated by Ball in his petition are unreliable, because said Ball conlll not know many of the facts he states as being true Attached to the answjr are affidavits ot Officers Ransdell and Perry, of the Jail staff, which are used as corroborative evidence. When the grand Jury went before Chief Justice Bingham yesterday to hand In the recent Indictments:, the foreman, Mr. C 11. Haul), told the court that his associates had not the time to prepare a report f the recent trip paid to the district Jail, aud tie began to state some matters in refer ence to the administration of the insti tution when the chief justice interrupted him with the remark that the grand Jury had not been designated by the court In general term t investigate the Jail. It was bupposed that fome lively In formation would be lodged with the court regarding the affairs at the jail, and had not Foreman Raub been cut off to sum marily he would no doubt have made some Interesting remarks. It Is said that the grand Jury wrll place a report In the handb ot the court treat lrrg or affairs at the Jail, whether any re quest comes from the court or not. Latonla Results. Cincinnati, June 8.

Common soda is all 1 ight In its place and indispensable In the kitcheu and for cook ing and washing purposes, but it was never intended for a medicine, and people who use It as such will some day regret It. We refer to the common u&e of soda to relieve heartburn or hour stomach, a habit which thousands of people practice almobt daiiy, and'one which Is fraught with danger; moreover the soda only gives temporary relief and in the end the stomach trouble gets worbe and worse. The soda acts as a mechanical Irritant to the walls of the stomach aud bowels and cases are on record where It accumulated In the Intestines, causing death by In flammation or peritonitis. Dr. Uarlandson recommends as the safest and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dys pepsia) an excellent preparation sold by druggibts under the name of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets. These tablets are large 20 grains lozenges, very pleasant to taste aud contain the natural acids, peptones and di gestive elements essential to good digestion and when taken after meals they digest the food purfectly and promptly before it has time to ferment, sour and poison the blood and nervous system. Dr Wuerth states that he invariably uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of 6tomach derangements and finds them a certain cure not only for stomach, hut by promptly digesting the food, thoy create a healthy appetite, Increase flesh and strengthen theactionof th.e heartandliver. They are not a cat hartic, but intended only for stomach diseases and weaknesses and will ho found reliable In any stomach trouble except cancar of the stomach.
