Amerteana ta 'ot Uivins Satisfaction. New York, June 8. Frank Farrel and President Gordon, of the New York Americans, are disgusted with Clark Griffith's management of the team, and unless the Invaders take a decided brace soon a new man will direct the playing affairs of the club. They made these statements last night. Although the individual work of the team is gcoL the nine as a whole is playing wretched ball.

Griffith is trying hard to compel the boys to work together, but seems unable to obtain satisfactory results. He is now trying to secure some real stars and has his eye on several players.

Reavl Faett In Case Related by a Circus Man Who Couldn't Lie There traveled along the Great White Way a retired circus man whom all the actors called "Google He was a peculiar individual with long white hair and one bad eye. Occasionally he would drop into one of the brilliantly lighted cafes along the way, sit down at a table in some secluded corner and mumble continually to himself.

He was particularly fond of the Green Room, a cafe. I went into the Green Room the other night. Google-I was in his usual isolated corner mumbling to himself. I sat down at the same table w-ith him and after a few rounds of cocktails I asked him to tell me a g-ood circus story. "If you care to hear it," said Google-I with merry twinkle in his optics, "I will tell you just how our circus leopard got his spots." "Away back in the sixty-something I was traveling with the Goo-goo circus as Stretcher, the rubber man.

We had among our zoological attractions a very large leopard. Of course, at that time the leopard hadn't the large spots on him that he has now; his epidermis was spotless, and I shall never forget the day the change came over him. "It happened during the second week of the show. I was the man designated to put the red stain on our Only Band of Original Feejee Indians in Captivity. On this memorable day I went behind the leopard's cage to do the daubing.

Smelting and Union Pacific lost Atchison developed considerable weakness, selling off 1 in all. The resumption of liquidation in the stock market resulted in general and material declines in the first hour. There were no new developments responsible for the weakness. St. Paul again received good support and declined only a small fraction from Saturday's close.

There was a fall of three points in Chicago and Northwestern. Pennsylvania held fairly firm. The bear party concentrated its efforts on Atchison, which sold off 1 per cent. Union faont declined 1 per cent, but Rock Island lost little ground. Missouri Pacific dropped 1 per cent and then rallied per cent.

Declines of 1 per cent or over were recorded by St. Louis Southwestern preferred, and Louisville Nashville, Norfolk Western and some of the low priced issues. Canadian Pacific sold off 2. Illinois Central 2 and Baltimore Ohio 2 per cent. Soo preferred declined 2 per cent.

In the industrials Amalgamated Copper was supported at a small fractional decline.

He put up a poor fielding game, having three errors on Eix chances.

The Bankers got but three safeties off Irwin, of Hughes, the Swissvale first baseman, accepted 15 chances, missing one hard one. Two hits was the extent of the slugging done by the Sullivans oft the delivery of Bauer, of the Glassport Juniors. Pitching like that always wins games. Madden, the Sullivan catcher, accepted 10 chances without an error. Those Windsor boys are sluggers of the first water.

TheYe is not a member of the team who is not hitting the sphere for keeps. Delp had three hits, one a dandy home run. The Crafton team is being put in readiness for some hard games. Keep your eyes on these boys they're winners. Those Allegheny Elks are not slouches.

It was a hard luck game they lost to Monessen on Saturday. Hope for better luck next time, ye eleven-o'clock toasters. LAJOIE IS FOXY. His Contract Makes it Impossible to Discipline Him. The Plain Dealer says that there are many fans in Cleveland who are advocating an attempt to secure Elberfeld, quotes one of these fans as saying that Elberfeld and Barrow are two men who could hardly expect to get along well, but that Armour might handle the player.

all right, and continues: "The acquisition of Elberfeld would give Cleveland the hardest hitting infield In the business, every one of them being a three hundred hitter. When Manager Armour was asked before going East is he would take Elberfeld if a trade was effected he replied: I do not want a man on my team that I cannot talk to. If Elberfeld will obey orders, all right." Armour Is apparently seeking no further trouble, ancf. doesn't want the player if the charges against him can be substantiated. From well-informed sources there comes corroboration of the statements earlier referred to in this column, that Lajoie is not actin well and is in badly with his team.

The big fellow is said to be causing Somers and Armour sufficient worry. Lajoie has Cleveland tied up to a contract that makes it impossible to discipline him. Pittsbnra- Boy's Triumph. Gales Ferry, June 8. William J.

Pitcher CarricU Has Been Definitely Released ly Detroit. Toledo. June S. The story to the effect that President Strobel and Manager Reisling are working at cross purposes in the matter cf the release cf Pitcher Carrick and liable to clash at any minute over the directing of the team is emphatically denied by both parties. Carrick's release was definitely decided upon Saturday and an understanding reached between him and President Strobel.

Carrick released Strobel from their personal contract, by the terms of which he could have drawn his salary the rest of the season without throwing a ball. Carrick is considering three good offers to play elsewhere, but has not decided where he will go. One of the offers is from the Seattle team, in the Outlaw League, on the coast. Another from Philadelphia, where he can receive an advance of $400 over his salary here, and the third is from Brooklyn. It is claimed here that he will join the Brooklyn team at Cincinnati.

AVill Cio Into Conrt. Detroit. June 8. The latest tangle in the Elberfeld-Barrow-Agnus situation is the announcement by the player that he will ask the courts to look into the action of the Detroit club and furnish a little balm for his wounded feelings, besides returning to him the money held out of his salary as a fine. Elberfeld holds that his professional reputation has been injured by statements that he has thrown games, as well as by the direct statement that he disobeyed orders of his captain and his manager.

He has already consulted a lawyer, who will de cide on a plan of action before Elberfeld starts for his home in Tennessee tonight. Canton Team Shut Ont. Canton. 8 Tho Rnelnn tram of the National League proved a poor drawing card in Canton. Less than a thousand people saw the game.

It is announced In Wall street that the $500,. 0OO bond issue of the West Virginia Plate Glajui Co. has been underwritten by a syndicate of prominent financiers.

This is expected to guarantee that the bonds will be sold and the money turned over to the management for enlarging and perfecting the plant. Under instructions from the Wall street syndicate the managers will at once establish a large plant, the first section to employ 250 men. At present the company is located nominally at Morgan-town, where the active managers prefer to keep it. but the Wall street men favor its removal elsewhere, as numerous offers of extensive building sites and cash bonuses have been tendered by Grafton, Clarksburg.

But he always seemed contented and happy. "On the fourth day a large, round, brown stain showed plainly and clearly on his body. One of the sponges had soaked through.

And while we were all sanding there gazing at it with wonderment. 6pot number two came to view. Another sponge had soaked through. A little time elapsed and we were about to leave, when someone shouted: 'There comes another And sure enough, slowly another brown spot had worked its way forward and another sponge had soaked through. "And then the more sporty of our congregation began to bet as to where the next spot would show up.

It was like watching for an eclipse. At last every sponge had soaked through and the spots were of various sizes, and indelible." Thus Google-I concluded his peculiar tale, and, leaving him behind to sip his drink, I went out. New York Telegraph. MRS. YOUNG WIFE.

Her Latest Experience in Following the Cook Book. The best of it is this story is true Little Mrs. but there, I musn't tell her name. She and her brand new husband are keeping house in a dainty little flat in Brooklyn. Notwithstanding her utter lack of experience in cooking, her husband, from the very first, declared that the food she set before him was ambrosia fit for the gods.

But one day last week a tiny cloud hovered, over the little home, casting a shadow which seemed to the watchful young wife the beginning of the end of all earthly joy. Her husband took a spoonful of pudding and oh, horror she saw by the hesitating way in which he swallowed it that he did not like it. Now, that pudding was her chef d'oeuvre the piece de resistance of the dinner. She had never made a pudding before, but was sure that she had put in the exact ingredients laid down in the cook book, which, she had been assured. was an infallible authority.

With just a suspicion of quiver in her voice she said: "You don't like it." "Oh, yes, I do, my darling," her hus band answered. "It is perfectly delicious." With that fortitude of which heroes are made he scooped up another spoonful and swallowed it without a wince. "Why," said she, tasting hers. "How sweet it is! I am sure I put in only the right quantity of sugar." Is yours sweet? he asked. Mine isn't not too sweet," he hastened to qualify.

"If anything, I should say it was a trifle just a wee trifle too salty. But I like it, and, besides, salt Is whole some. Doesn't the Bible say that salt hath a savor?" With that he cut deeply into the pud ding with his spoon and brought to light a hard-boiled egg. "Orarious exclaimed the little wife. "How did that happen, do you suppose?" "Didn't you put it in?" he asked.

"Yes, of course. The cook book said three eggs. But I never saw tnem act that way before." A suspicion laid hold or tne nusDana superior culinary mind. Did you stir the pudding before you baked it? he asked, lovingly. "Stir it? Why, no.

-ine cook dook didn't say anything about stirring it. Thm rat was out of the bag. She had dumped the ingredients into the pudding pan in the order named by the book and then had baked them as they happened to lie. That was how it. came anuui ium got all the salt in nis iirsi muuuuu, while she got nothing but sugar in hers.

lrnnw nobody but she knows whether she had a good cry all by herself after dinner. But it doesn't matter. The cloud passed try. ana neL nudding which, her husband proudly asserts was the very best pudding ever Jnado by the dimpled hands of mortal or L1s-! woman. What more do you want? Brooklyn Eagle.

Home of tne Stoddards. The of the late Richard Henry Stoddard and his superbly gifted wife, Elizabeth Barstow Stoddard, at 329 East fifteenth street. New York city, has been for more than 30 years a center of interest for all literary people, and there they found something ideal. Fancy a house set in a street long since given up to the cheapest of tenants, but in which a few fine people still retain their homes. Before the door of 329 there is an area of gras an iron fence, a 'balustrade just above it, and there the poets, Richard and Elizabeth Stoddard, lived for all these years.

You would wait a while in the parlor, full of books, lined with pictures; then, if you were of the elect, you were ushered upstairs into a study, library or a sewing room and smoking room for Richard smoked and talked and Elizabeth knitted or darned or did something in that line, and she talked, too. Here has been one of our sane, sweet high-motived American salons, as different from the French type as could be Here, too, in old days, and elsewhere in old days, Stoddard met his friends Bayard Taylor, Charles G. Iceland Stedman, Boker, Ludlow, Fitz-James O'Brien and so many others, and here the "Diversions of the Echo Club occurred. It may be said that no place in Manhattan has been more delightful than that 329 East Fifteenth street; and no place where there was better company the best of vall when one had the luck to meet Mr. and Mrs.

Very little encouragement is given investors in the newspaper financial Items over Sunday, outside of the break In drought in the Western States and the improved labor outlook. Consequently some further liquidation is looked for today.

Josephs Marketwise, conservatism is still the byword. The opportunity is present for men of money and courage to make excellent selections. Pennsylvania, Union Pacific preferred. Metropolitan, Baltimore Ohio and Manhattan are good They all yield from 1 to per cent more than can be commanded by money on call. News from crop-growing regions is more reassuring.

Drives may be made against Missouri Pacific because of the floods at St. Louis. Bear selling of New York Central Is In evidence. F. M.

William Semple's private wires As expected after the bad bank statement Saturday, the stock market opened oft this morning. Baltimore Ohio and Atchison on heavy sales declined sharply during the first hour, giving the appearance of a drive by the bears for the purpose of covering short sales. The pressure seems to be off Pennsylvania and St. Paul, and the buying around present prices seems to be of the best character. Dividend paying railroad stocks are a bargain at ruling prices, although there may be more or less manipulation of a trading character around these levels for accumulation purposes.

We are strongly advised to buy Atchison around 68 and Union Pacific around 705. A substantial rally is certainly due in this market. Logan Bryan to A. E. Masten Co.

The map shows better weather West and showery conditions In the East, with light rainfall in the latter locality. The wheat cable is steady. Government report on Wednesday will be awaited with Interest. Borne loss in condition is pretty certain. With large acreage, unless the loss is great, will still indicate a big crop.

The stocks are small and the movement of the new crop is likely to be late. Conditions are uncertain enough to promise a good scalping market. The big holders of corn have been rather free sellers past week. With better weathr West and indications of the drought being broken in the East. It would look as if we have had advance enough.

Same is true of oats, exce.pt that there is still a considerable local long interest. The drought in the East Is the most important factor in oats, as the condition of the crop In the West is steadily improving. Country offerings are increasing and we still feel that the unfavorable conditions have been pretty well discounted. Provision market la dull and shows no tendency toward improving. Scattered trade is discouraged from short selling to tome extent by the talk that packers will not make the contract stuff.

A poor cash demand and the prospect of plenty of hogs will ultimately have their effect. Think provisions are a sale on the rallies. By private wire to Henry Sproul Co. Liquidation ban this morning promptly with the fall of gavel and was specially heavy In Atchison blocks of which stock were thrown oveOard. causing a rapid recession in its price.

Jteading was another stock which became active aid weak, as also did Baltimore A Ohio andj' Union Pacific. Considering that the situation of the money market is a main factor in depressing prices, the present position was rendered more serious by the news of an advance in the official discount rate at Berlin from 3 to 4 per cent. This favors a further movement of gold from New York to Berlin and shortly after 11 o'clock it was announced that Kidder. Peabody Co. had already engaged $250,000 of gold for export by tomorrow's steamer, the German capital being Its destination.

St. Paul. Pennsylvania and New York Central received notably good support. but could only advance fractionally, while the list as a whole has been weak and nervous. RICHMOND BKOKEUS.
