examination here to day by the board of
directors of the association. It will be re
moniDered that Cant. Comiskey ordered
the St Louis club to leive the
Arid one Saturday at Brooklyn, be
cause tho umpire, at the dsmand of
the BrooWyns, derided that the game should
continue in spite of St. Louis’ claim that it
should lie called on account of darkness.
T e next day President Von Der Ahe re
fuse Ito nllow his club to plaT, claiming
that he feared a mob. The dimes were
forfeited t tee Brooklvns and the St. Louis
club was also fine i Jl.o'K) for each game.
THE MEN IN THE CASE.
The clubs repre ented to- Aa v are:
Brooklyn—President Charles H. Byrne,
John J. D >y!e and F. A. Abell.
Kansas City—John W. Speas and L. C.

first. After bearing the statement from
Mr. Von Der Abe and Cant. Comiskey of
the St. Louis chi ', the reading of affidavits
of Milligan. McCarthy and Chamberlain of
St. Louis, Mr. Byrne of the Brooklvns pre
sented the affidavits of Umpire Fred Gold
smith, all the Brooklyn nlavers, and of rep
seutativos of the New York press present
at the games in question and also of the tel
egraph.o; orators.
THE POINT AT STAKE.
The point to bo decided was whether
Umpire Goldsmith was warranted in the
decisions he gave. All the testimony was
as to whether it 'as light enough to pro
ceed with the game on the 7th. Before the
decision was pronounced in this case the
Sunday game of Sept. 8 was taken up,
the one in widen the St. Louis
club is charged with having refused
to go to Ridgewood park to play. Both
nines offered inuc i tes imonv. That of St.
Louis was tnoir fear of violence from the
crowd. Against this Air. Byrne’s affidavit
was presented that Von Dor A io agreed to
play provided the forfeited game of tho day
before should be played off.
A COMPROMISE.
After a long consultation the board of
direotors decided upo i a sort of compro
mise, awarding Saturday’s game to the St.
Louis club, and remitting tho fine on tho
ground that Umpire Goldsmith’s decision
was wrong. As to Sunday’s game the
board gave that to the Brooklyn club by a
score of 9 to 0, and imposed a fine of $1,530
on the St. Louis club for failing to appear

Tho Opinion of a Eishop.
Bishop Charles H. Fowler of California,
who lias just completed a circuit of the
world in the interest of Methodist missions,
is in Minneapolis. Talking about China
Unsaid; “Let me tell you t is, the most
extensive military preparations are now
under way iu China. Prince Li, the prime
mi i-tcr, or, to be more exact, r ie viceroy,
is ordering the manufacture of rifled cannon
and wars lips and improved ha id arms and
is reorganizing tao whole army. Tne
Chines? move slowly, and Prince Li says
that iu ten years he will have things wuere
he wants them. And then—well, then, I
know not what will come, but let me tell
you the Chinese are a great people—a
great people, sir; and more than all that,
they aro a people of great courage. I think
tnat Prince Li, the vieerov of C.iina, is one
of the greatest statesmen the world has over
produced.
“Speaking of war. just look at this: The
Chitiese neopie numb t 40J,0JJs06I; they
could land 5,000,000 men in San Francisco
easier than the United States could put

ENGLISH GIRLB.
Why They Do Not Become American
Bridea
From tKe San Francisco Argonaut.
While we every day hear of Englishmen
of rank and title marry in? American
women, it is curious that wo never hear of
English wotue.i of rank ami title, or of
mere birth and potiiio i (which may lack a
title) marrying American men. Why is it?
There must ba some reason. It is not merely
chance. It cannot be that Amcricin man
are not attractive enough to E lgliah
women. American men are chivalric to a
high degree in their homage of woma i,
simply < n account of her w eaker sex. There
ought to be no surer pith way to a woman’s
heart than thi*, be she E nglish or of any
other nationality. American men are. for
the most part, handsome, and they
are clever and bright talkers; nud they
know ail the soft and tender little
sjieeches which women of all nations de
light in having ma le to them, and ia the
kn wlodge and use of which Englishmen of
the present day, and of the higher classes,
are so ; roverbialiy deficient. They are
generally well educated, well informed, and
are neat and painstaking iu their |rsonal
apjiearaoce. They are graceful in in >ve
riient, poli-hed iu dep irtment, and they are
beautif il dancers. No ]ie >pls are admitted
ii E gland to ba sum good dancirs as the
American men. And yet English girls do
not marry them. Why?
I happened, the other day, to ask an
American lady why it was. Her answer
was lac inicaui (to her) decisive: “Because
Ame lean men don’, ask them.”
“But,” I told her, “that is no answer.”
“And why notf’ sho asked. "It’s the
best 1 can give, anyhow.”
“To begin with,” said I, “how do you
know they don’t ask them?”
"Ob, if you com > to that, I don’t know
anything. I wasn’t aware that I was under
cross-examination. I thought you only
asked my opinion. I know this, however,
if I was a man I wouldn’t ask them. So,
there.”
“But why!”
“There you go again—Y! Why can’t
you say wli-v, as we do?”
“The corrupting influences of long asso
ciation,” said I; “I daresay, oow if I-”
“There y>u go agatu—l dessay. Why
don’t you say d-a-r-e say? I often wonder
why English people put w and h in their
whys—the letter y would be ample. And
then ”
“But that’s not answering my question.
I thought you were above a woman’s ‘be
cause.’ ”
"Aud then,” she went on, not heeding my
remonstrance, "the letters a and r are quite
unnecessary iu your and ire. D-e-s spells dare
in England.”
"I’ll allow all that and go on with what
vve were talking about. Tasked you why
American men don’t lnarqgf English
women, aud you gave mo no answer at
all.”
“No answer at all?”
“Well, equivalent to none. Now, shill I
toll you why they don’t? Yes. All right,
I will. I’ll try to, at nil events.”
At this point, an E iglish ladv of title
joined us, so I had to be a trifle circurn
s net in my reasons.
“Now, then, we’ll start with this propo
sition. There are no women in tho world
more attractive than American women.
You’ll admit that ?”
“You’, e very kind.”
“ uind you, I snv more attractive, not so
at ractive,” I qualified, with my eye on the
English woma .
“Oh?” in rather a crestfallen voice; “but
I wish you wouldn't talk so much of
women. Why can’t you say ladies? I hate
women.”
“Ye -, I believe you all do hate each other
at heart.”
“You know perfectly well what I mean.
I only mean the word.”
“It’s an English nord, and a g.icd one,”
said 1; “for my own i art I detest ladies.”
“What an admission for a gentleman!”
with a toss of her head; “thank you.”
“If I b Roved that y u really misunder
stood me 1 would explain. But I don’t.
I detest the term ‘ladies.’ It means noth
ing.”
“Nothing? It does in Amorioa.”
“I do i’t agree with you. I know some
thing of America myself, and there, as in
England, the t rm ‘lady’ is applied to
fe nrles who have no claim whatever to it.”
“W oat do you mean by ladies of title,
then?”
“Teat’s different. There every one
knows what you mean. I speak of the use
of tho word in a general way. We have
Spiers & Bond’s young ladies, aud .Marshall
& Snollgr .vo’s, and Howe 1 & Janies’, and
Stagg & Mantle’s, and dozens of other
ladies in London ‘dry goods stores.’ They
are all young ladies in thess days. Thirty
years ago they were young women. No
oue thought of calling them any
thing else. As for America, I con
stantly see In American papers:
‘Saleslady wanted.’ Indeed, I once saw
an advertisement that ‘a lady wantsasitu
atio i as cook.’ It tiasu’igot to that in Eng
land yet, but It will get to It. Therefore, I
say that ‘lady,’ as a distinctive, designating
term, has no meaning. For what is meant
by lady, I generally use, and let us now
use the word ‘gentlewoman.’ I really pre
fer ‘woman,’ but as you don’t like itj we’ll
take gentlewoman.”
“Haven’t we got rather far away from
the subject we began talking abeuti” she
asked.
“I’m afraid it's your ow i fault if we
have. But to return. Now, while in is
true that there are no more attractive wo—
gentlewomen on earth than Americans, it
is also true that there aro loads of English
gu’ls—”
There! That’s another word I can’t
abide. Girls. Girls mean servants in
America,” said she.
“Well, loads of English gentlewomen
who are quite as charming and desirable as
w ives as aiy in the world. If left to the
free exhibition of their natural impulses,
American men—l beg your pardon, Amer
ican gentlemen—would find tils out. Un
fortunately there is no way for American
gentlemen to fl id it out. English gentle
women are forbidden by the strict laws of
class to show any feeling of regard for or
interest in any man, and of all men for
eigners, aud Americans are considered for
eigners in Engl ti and. They are labeled
‘Hands off,’ ‘Keep off the g aw,’ and ‘Don’t
handle,’ fro n ton to toe. There ”
“Who are? American gentlemen? Not
much they’re not.”
“I’m talking of English gentlewomen.
There is a barrier of propriety surroundirg
them at arms’ length which it would take ..
I rave man to storm. Theu, again, the 6
are so many straitlaced rules concerning
ou ts np, if sucu a vulgar proceeding ns
courtship be tolerated iu nigh life, which I
doubt. Suppose a man—a gentleman—
storms: he red mb: and gets inside, what
does i e find? More barriers More notices
of ‘Please don’t touch.’ i stead of ha ■ i g
a good time with tue girl lie is lighting for,
und thinks he has wou, when he gets within
re ch of her, he is at onco brought to book,
about settlements. He is iu constant c >a
sultati >n with her father or mother, ofton
hi h, varied .t times by occasional confer
ences with tho family solicitor. If the girl
has brothers at home—and what English
gentiewi niau has not?—he se's them all tne
time. A sight of the girl alone he never
gets, a cha on of exclusive conversation
with her he is never allowed. If her father
or mother isn’t present wnen he calls one of
her brothers is. Tue worst of it is that the
girl doesn’t mind this Interference. She
has boen taught to think anything else vul
gar and low. She doesn’t seem to care to
want to 1)3 alone wi h her admirer. She
prefers the society of h-r family, and like.!
to bo witn her brothers. K igli.shmen don’t
mind this sort of thing—when t ie girl has
money, of course, they wouldn’t be iu at
tends co if sho haln’t—but I can imagine
that Americans wouldn’t sia id it five min
ute-. Accustomed to see ouly lad.es at
home when they make even an ordinary
call at a house, they couldn’t and wouldn’t
out up witn tho society of the men of the
family when tuey are payiug Attention,
aya, are accuiUy eigated—if their pluck
and perseverance and endurance have car-
rioi them so far as (' t—to a young lady,
ge itlewoman, I should say
“Oh, you’ve made sevoral slips before
thU.”
“Have I? Well, it doesn’t matter a great
deal after ail. This is the reason—these are
the reasons—why AuiericaA gentlemen
don’t marry £ iglish ge itlewomen. It is
too much of a siege.”
“Lidu’t I say as much when I said it was
because they didn’t ask them P a-ked the
American lady.
“Yes. But you implied that they didn’t
because th n y didn’t want to, not because
they are not allowed to. I believe my
self t at if these ‘stand off’ iuclosures of
English girls in high life were demolished
and the girls themselves ”
“There you go with your ‘girls’ again.”
“Well, gentlewomen, then. If they were
given the liberty ad the latitude and inde
pendent swing of American girls, you’d see
that not only would American men inarrv
them, hut there would be fewer Englishmen
going to America for heiresses as wives.”
“Just let me say one word,” interposed
the English lady; “I’ve heard all you said,
and I agree as io the existe ice of the bar
riers, as you call them. They do exist, and
it is right that they shouij. No gentle
woman in England has a ‘lover.’ She
woul ln’t k:.ow how to behave with one.”
“Ycu are speaking of young uumarri.d
gentlewomen,” I assume, said I.
S ie gave me a glare, but ignored the point
when she replied:
“Yes, I ant. You spoke of girls, didn’t
you? Married women are not girls. Whs
nonsense you talk. Ail was saying, no
English young lady—aud I mea t ladv—
would want to have a lover dangling at her
heels all day, talking rubbishy sentiment
and paj-ing her silly compliments, looking
into her eyes and squeezing lie ■ hand. She
simply coulin’t do it. It’s not English, that
sort of thing.”
“Your grandmothers were English, I
supnose?” said I.
“Of course they were,” with dignity.
“They didn’t mind it ?”
“1 don’t know whether they did or not. I
have no desire to go back to their days. All
I know is that English young ladiei to-day
are too sensible to want sonnets composed
abrut their eyebrows or to have serenades
played under their bedroom windows.
They’d much prefer a good game of tennis,
a ride acro.s country, and a sound sloop at
night. And, in my opinion, they make
better wives in consequence.”
“It’s a pity the intending husbands don’t
have someone to tell them so,” said the
America lady, with a danger signal in her
eye; “it would save them a mint of money
for passages to New York. Ihe Cunard
Line would have to go into bankruptcy if
what you say became generaliv known.”
“I don’t know what you mean,” replied
L vdy de (iraud, seeking refuge behind the
wall of pretended ignorance—a very com
mon safety resort in English high life—as
she swept magnificently a \ ay.
“Nasty, hateful old thing:’’ snapped Mrs.
Madison Square: “she’ll never get any
sonnets written toiler daughters’ eyebrows
or have s-renades pla ed under their bed
room windows. TueyVu much too homely.
She needn’t be afraid.”
She spoke rather loud, and Lady de Grand
turned aud flashed a tigress-hko look back
at her.
So I changed the subject to the shah and
the royal marriage.
“Benjamin Franklin left in his will, dated
April 23, i, DO, $5,000 to be used by Philadelphia
