The oiler has not yet beet accepted. The Louisville club has at last oome to the front with a definite statement that it will play the world's championship series with Brooklyn.

Jimmy McHale defeated Charley Gilmore in a fight before the Twin City athletic club last night.

Gilmore's reputation is greater than that of glellale, and be was a strong favorite in the betting. As there are no Sunday games at Minneapolis, there was a game there yesterday, and by winning Minneapolis got second place. If the disputed game should he decided in favor of Milwaukee, however, that club would have the place. When Manning took hold of the Kansas City ball club be said: "I will not say that I can win the pennant, but I will guarantee that the club finishes in the first three." In the strong reflected light of future evInts, Jim was modest. Park Swat is a great favorite in Lincoln and the Lincoln papers are always full of pleasant words for Park.

Tire has never been one cent of fines indicted in the Kansas City nine since Manning took hold of it. Manning does not believe in that kind of management, and as to whether he knows anything about managing a ball club consult his record as a manager. Kansas City does not claim that the Blues can mop up the earth with any ball nine that ever existed, or that Elmer Smith is the greatest pitcher that ever lived, or that Anson is not to be compared to Manning, but its modest claim is that we are "in it" with any and all of them.

1 I 1 (i rel (INI. 4.111 The season Is ended and the Interest in base ball now centers in possibilities for next season; that is, aside from the interest the public feels In seeing the pennant winners play with some clubs outside of the Western association. The Denver club will play at Kansas City Saturday and Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The Kansas City club will play at Ottumwa, where there is being held a "coal pal. ace" exposition and where President Harrison will visit next week.

The club will also probably make an Eastern trip before it die. bands, playing at St. Louis, Louisville and Cincinnati. The Cincinnati people are very anxious to have the Kansas City club play there, but Manning is unwilling to do so, unless Cincinnati will come to Kansas City. Manning is making a strong effort to get Louisville St.

Louis and Cincinnati to eome to Kansas City, and although they decline to make any arrangements until the close of their championship season, Manning hopes to get them all here. The Minneapolis club does not seem disposed to make good its blue about playing Kansas City, although the Minneapolis paper state that the players of that club would like to play the games and put up the money themselves. The Camas City players think that they know when they have a good thing, and they are ready to put up $1,500 against $1,000 that they can beat the Minneapolis men out in a set.es of games. President Speas offered to furnish the money in ease the Minneapolis people were willing to play, but Manning de. dined saying that in ease the boys got hold of anything like that they would put up every cent of the money.

There is stiil much talk of the players that are going to jump to the Players' league, and the organs of that association are claiming everybody. It has not secured anv Kansas City players yet, however. A New -York patch says: Notwithstanding all contrary statements Tim Keefe's mission to the West in search of Players was highly successful. When Keefe left Newiork city be had instructions to secure la least four playersa pitcher an outfielder and two infielders. Of these hiti has captured three to a certainty and the prospects are very bright that the New York club will have the other player.

The St. Louis club is the greatest sufferer in the transaction, the three men who will come to New 17 ork being Sti. vette, Fuller and McCarthy. Stivetts, it is claimed, was only too glad to get out of Von der Ahe's clutches. Ile states that if the fining process is kept up in the club as it has been practiced there will be but few men who will receive any salary at the end of the season.

There may be some little correspondence between the officials of the Chicago Players' League club and the New York club regarding the possession of little McCarthy and the matter may be brought to the attention of the board of di. rectors of the League, as it is charged that McCarthy has not only signed a regular club contract, but signed a conditional agreement with Captain Comiskey to play with Chicago. It is said that the New York's chances are the best for securing the clever fielder. He placed his name to a little strap of paper in the presence of witnesses alfar back as three months ago pledging himself to sign with the New York club. There a no uncertainty in Fuller's case, and while he will strengthen the New York club's infield, the fourth man whom Keefe did not succeed in signing is a regularVelinker," and to use the exact phrase ace reporter's informant "the New Yorks have him." What player will be re- iced by the New York Players' league club tal not been fully determined upon as yet, Aft there will be at least four to go.

One of these will be a pitcher. Two of the present infielders will also be excused from playing to go nyfurtotherciweviethiantdbeanedlubbisanwaispherosbanibalyy an outfielder. It is said that 6ore is very anxious complied with. Testerdityla Games. WESTERN ASSOCIATION.

GATCHELL OF CHICAGO. The Performer, by Means of a Trick Heed and a Clover Arrangement of the Bandage. Able I. bee and Read the Trade's la the Air. From the Chicago Tribune.

If Paul Alexander Johnstone is not a ts he is a most remarkable young man. if a fraud some of the smartest people in Chicago will feel sheepish to-day when they know they have been deceived by a trick as transparent as the mohair hood which Dr. Charles Gatchell asserts Johnstone peered through when he made his famous trip in the down. town streets September 1. Dr.

Catchell is a well-known physician and is editor of the Medical Era of this city. He occupies the chair of the theory and practice of medicine at the University of Michigan and is a confirmed materialist. He doesn't believe in mind-reading or thought transference. It was an unlucky day for Johnstone when Dr. Gatehell got on his trail.

Dr. Gatchell followed him on his trip through the streets and was confident the alleged mind reading was fraudulent. Ile had no way of proving it, though, till he met Dr. G. P.

But- ler, a lecturer at Rush Medical college, whose ace is at No. 240 Wabash avenue. Dr. Butler was a member of the committeee which aecompanted Johnstone, and he had his suspicions. When he had talked with Dr.

Gatchell and the two doctors had experimented a little they learned, as they think, the secret of the tricks by which Johnstone deluded the public and gathered more money in a month than most men make in a year. BROKE VP ONE PERFORMANCE. A week ago last Saturday Dr. Gatchell broke up Johnstone's performance at Central Music hall and yesterday he showed a Tribune reporter how the young man from St. Paul i does the trick.

Ile did more easily and better than Johnstone had done it, and he used neither whisky nor hysterics to help him out. The Tribune reporter and Dr. Butler composed the committee which tested Dr. Gatchell in his rooms at No. 235 Michigan avenue yesterday morning.

"I will imagine I am Johnstone," be said, Then he snapped his fingers and stamped and sweated just as Johnstone did. "Put these gloves over my eyes. Now tie them tightly with this handkerchief. I want the gloves to be near the optic nerve. That's right.

Higher a little. Now try this hood on and tell zee if YOU can see through it." The hood was a double thickness of black cloth, and only a faint light came through its meshes. The reporter said he couldn't see, and the doctor, still imitating Johnstoue, drew the hood over his own head. "Pick out a the Century Magazine and remember the page." The committee chose the word "ignorant." "Now take a trip through the ball and down stairs. Remember the directions and the number of steps you take." The committee went out, turned to the right a few yards, came back, went down stairs eight steps, and returned to the room.

"Stand against that wall," Dr. Gatebell said to the reporter. Then to Dr. Butler: "Trace in the air the directions you took. Now the number of steps.

Now the page in the magazine and the word you selected." A LA JOHNSTONE. Dr. Butler did all this because he was the man who made the tracings for Johnstone. When he bad finished Dr. Gatchell seized one band, the reporter the other, and the three men galloped into the ball.

Dr. Gatchell draeged the committee to the right, back again, down eight stairs, up eight stairs, and into the room. Then he called for whisky be. cause Johnstone had called for it. Unlike Johnstone, he didn't drink it.

"Pencil and paper!" he shouted. The pencil and paper were furnished. The doctor bent over the book and ran through the page, shouting uteentimov ttive mettle' "Why don't you keep your minds concentrated." "Whisky. No; bold on, boys, I don't want any." When he reached the page he stopped and said: "Your minds are off the subject. Why don't you say this is the page?" "It is," said the committee.

Then the doe. tor snapped his fingers some more and fainted once to give verisimilitude to the imitation and finally wrote a word on the paper. The word was "ignorant." The imitatiou bad been successful. The hood had been examined as closely es it was examined by the committee at the Auditorium hotel. Dr.

Butler bad made all the test eon. ditions that have ever been enforced at Johnstone's exhibitions. At least one of the committee never thought of the word once after the fun began; yet Dr. Gatchell had not only picked one word out of forty, but one Out of 400 or 500. Then he sat down and laughed.

HOW THE TRICK IS DONE. "Would you like to know bow it is done?" he said. "Look at these two gloves. You see I fold them and place them against my eyes. That is Johnstone's first deceit.

lt looks like an additional safeguard against fraud, but he couldn't read a mind without it. Tie this handkerchief about my head. Tie it as tight as you can and knot it above my ears. John. stone always tells you to tie it tight, and that scents like another safeguard.

Without it be couldn't do his trick." The doctor's eyes were apparently bandaged securely, the strain of the handkerchief tall. tog on that part of the glove which rested against his contracted eyebrow. When he raised the brow, up went the bandage and the twinkling eyes peering Out under the gloves saw everything in the room. "Now," he said, look at this hood. With a quick motion of his hand he yanked the hood apart and drew the outer cover over the reporter's head.

The cloth was mohair and as transparent as the street veils women wear. The committeemen took off the mohair and tried on the outer hood. It was thick broad-cloth and as difficult to see through as a board. "Wait," cried the doctor. He pulled the strings that secure the hood around the neck, and lot the front seam opened wide.

That was all there was of it. The apparently supernatural feat of mind reading became as simple as the commonest parlor trick. There was nothing occult about it. Anybody can be a P. Alexander Johnstone so long as the sideshow draws crowds and green goods are for sale.

"I have been led to expose this trickery," said Dr. Gatchell, "because this man is unmet. mg the faith of the people. Bishop was as bad but no worse than Johnstone. I am stir.

prised that the intelligent, men of the world who saw him drive through the streets and pick out the name in the register were taken in so easily. I examined his hood at Central Music hall and found it was double. I did not have an opportunity to look for the aperature, but I am confident I have repro. dticed the garment be wore when I saw him. When he tested the atulitA)rium committee he made one of the member" trace the route before he left.

"I (lid that," said Dr. Butler, "and I went to tell you something in connection with it. When we drove over the route first we went to Monroe street. I made a mistake when I traced and drew 'two and one-half blocks instead of three and one-half. That threw him off, and although I kept my mind firmly fixed on Monroe street end he claimed to read my thoughts he turned on Adams street.

That wee what first made me Nevi-clone." flow RE MADE THAT FAMOCA "Ile watched the tracing through the aperture in the Inner hood," Dr. (Aachen eontin. ned. "Then he made the committee trace the date and the name chosen in the Grand Pa. eifie hotel and he was ready.

Allison) differed from him absolutely as to the effect of the hill and gave it as his belief that it would reduce revenues between 40 and 45 million dollare. On the question of tin plate be expressed the belief that within five years from this time the Huited States would produce substantially all the tin plate consioned here, and that the consumers would have it at a less price than they bad paid for the last ten years. After discussing at some length the question of tin plate and of cotton ties, he came to that of sugar and raid that he was not quite wished nor much gratified at the position of senators from the sugar growing states. Ile had conversed with the planters of Louisiana who had come to tVashington on that siihket, and there was not one of them who did not pay that the proposed bounty would stimulate immensely the product of sugar in Louisiana and woUld be (If it could be maintained) a greet boon to them. But now the senator from Louisiana (Mr.

liaison) charged the conferrees with diseriniinating against that great industry. far from diecriininating egeinst it they hail discriminated in its favor. Ile would sound a note of warning to the sugar cane interest. If it were true that all the Louisiana sugar planters spurned the bounty and denounced it and declared it unconstitutional, they might find congress that would take them at their word. ne, for one, was in favor of taking care of that in.

The bill would now go to the country as an experiment in many of its features, especially as respecting the bounty on sugar.

The sales of certificates alone amounted to 929,000 ounce; against 000 Monday, and the private transactions to perhaps half as much more. The pools have 8 million dollars worth of bullion stacked up in the vaults of the Mercantile Safe Deposit company, and at least 1 million dollars worth more in banks and other places-It looked at one time yesterday as if the speculators were close to disaster. Soon atter the opening of business, the quotations dropped to 10934 an ounce, a loss of 114 trout the closing price of the day before. The decline was in sympathy with the London market, where quotations fell to 4914 pence. Big silver speculators stepped in to avert a wreck, and commenced to buy silver mespective of London prices.

August Belmont and J. and W. Seligman were reported to be heavy buyers. In addition it was announced that Belmont Company would send 200,000 ounces of silver to London to-day by the Majestic. Although New York is supposed to follow the London market, the prices here steadily ascended until 112,4 was reached-114 points higher than llonday's closing figure.

If this state of affairs were to continue it would be profitable business to ship silver from Went Britain to America. One thing that helped put up the market, was the fact that the October purchases of silver bullion by the government will begin to-day- The treasury department may if it desires, purchase the entire month's quota of 14 million ounces in one day. It is not likely to do so however, for such a step would leave the silver market more demoralized than ever. There is enough silver in New York alone to supply the government for two months. The treasury department buys at the market price, and the fact that silver was held higher here than in London, excited the suspicion that the price was marked op, to make a pre.

mina at the expense of the government. One great fault of the silver bill is that it encourage. speculation. It is said that there is an immense amount of silver stacked up at the Western mines and smelting works. When tbe prospects became good that the silver bill would go through congress and receive the approval of the President, mining operations were greatly extended owing to a certainty of an increased profit in the production.

The recent decline has been hard on small speculators in the metal. A number were unable to put up any more margins and in the vernacular of the street, "were shaken out." The silver thus released went into the hands of the pools. Vice President John Thompson of the Chase National bank has long been a silver exponent. lie said silver was not likely to conic from Europe to this country, even if the price were put up to 129.29 (the gold parity) because the American coinage was 16 to 1. of gold while the European coinage was 1514 to 1 of gold-That made a difference qf 1 per cent in fa-stir of American silver.

It is a fact, however, that a great deal of ailver came from London during the rise in value here last spring, the result of the introduction of the silver bill. Large quantities of Mexican and Plouth American coins have lately been received at the assay office to be melted into bark These coins are bought according to their commercial value. It would not be profitable to buy the American dollars because the silver in them hp not worth a dollar. The course of the silver market Is watched with the greatest interest in Wall street Speculation is likely to be very heavy during the next few days if not for a longer period. a A WOMAN'S PRIDE WOCIVIILIA While on the Witness Stand Abe Threatens to Kick the Fate Oa Lawyer.

BALTIMORE, Oct. breezy scene WAR enacted yesterday morning in the criminal court during the trial of Mrs. Emma Free-burger, on charge of larceny, preferred by Mrs. Mary A. Metlennan.

lr. Boddie, the counsel for the defense, asked Mrs. MoUlennon, on eross-examination, if she did not live in the same house with a colored family. This wounded the pride of the lady, who jumped lip and "Do you mean to pot me on a par with nigger', you impertinent scamp? If I had you outside I would kick your face off. If I bad a revolver would shoot yott now." She was led out asserting that she "would lay for him." The case was dismissed.
