The theatrical profession always bas been and always will be prolific In the production of "characters," and of all the "characters" whose names all actors speak with a thrill of friendship that of genial Ben Baker is per-haps as well known as any. There is, too, a feeling of fellowship among the people of the stage which is peculiar to the calling, and that may account for tho "Uncle" which is always prefixed to Mr. Baker't name. The whole profession knows him, lore him, and feels a satisfaction in hinting at a kind of family relationship. Uncle Ben Buker is nearly 73 years old, aud has been in harness as long, probably, as any actor or manager in New 7rk city. But he is as lively a a cricket, and anyone who calls at tho rooms of the Actors' Fund will find him, rain or shine, at the assistant secretary's dosk. Indeed, on rainy days, bis desk is even a better place to visit than on days when the sun is shining, for it is one of the few places where outside gloom never penetrates, and is, therefore, on dull days doubly bright by .contrast. It was iu 1835 that Uncle Ben made his first appearance on the stage, the place was Natchez and the piece "Rob Roy." For thir-teen years he led the roving life of many actors. In 1848 be turned up in New York city, and wrote "A Olance at New York." This play brought bis first taste of farm. Jt was produced at the old Olympic theatre. Frank Cbanfrau did the leading role, and the piece gained In-stant and deserved popularity. Mr. Baker was made stage manager ol the theatre, but he did not stop writ-ing play. Othen rrora nis pen were UNOLE 8KB baste. pllt ou at the Olym-pic, and although uo one of them proved ai successful as did "A Glance i t New York there were no failure among them. In 1851 he deserted New York for Boston, where he became manager of the Athenaeum. But Boston was not for long his abiding place, ai he went from there to Washington and direction of the productions at the National theatre there. Tbe year 1854 was an important one in hit careerfor it marked the formation of hit ltfoioug friendship with Edwin Booth. They became acquainted in California, and when Mr. Booth took the east by storm on hia first starring tour. Uncle Ben had charge of the expedition. During his stay in San Francisco be had been in partnership with Laura Koene, and after bis business connection with Booth terminated he acted as the stage manager of her theatre in New York. "I served my apprenticeship," says the old man, with perhaps a touch of pride for tbe old and pardonable pity for tbe new, "iu the good old days, when bard knocks were plenty and there was very little fun." His honors have been won by good work and loU of it, and he surely deserves the anchorage which be holds in the haven of tbe Actors' Fund-t- hat best project of the profession for whicb be has dono so much. If ever, when Uncle Ben Baker's useful life has ended, it is decided to have a bust made of him to ornament the Actors' Fund rooms, there should stand, on tbe other end of tbe shelf, a companion piece representing toe smiling features of Mrs. Louisa Eldridge. The same love which has given Mr. Baker his title ot "Uncle" has given Mrs. Eldridga herg ot "Aunt." Aunt Louisa knows nearly every ono o prominence in the profession, and if some poor, strug-gling youug actor or actress appears, who is not of prom-inence, why that very fact gives him or her the very strongest kind of a claim on Aunt Lou-- , isa's triondsbip and good will. It is not very lone since Aunt Louisa desert-Ainr- r lociba eldridge. ed the stage for the more quiet walks of pri-vate life, The last engagement whicb she played was with Mrs. Langtry when the fa-mous English actress produced "Macbeth" in New York city hut seasou. During that en-gagement Mrs. Eldridge was taken ill and she bos not since roturned to the stage. Mrs. Eldridga has been most successful in the legitimate drama. But, although she has shown herself to be an actress of more than usual ability, a careful student ot human nature, it is in private life as a good angel to the rest of tbe profession, and in fact to everybody whom she finds hasnoed of a good angel that she has shone most brightly. Her gentle charaoter, her goodness ot heart have cheered and encouraged hundreds; and let us hope ber good works have not yet ended. No benefit performance in New York is com-plete without Aunt Louisa, although she sel-dom appears on the stage. With a bevy of pretty soubretto assistants, she beguiles the comers with baskets of roses, and ber persua-sive smilo generally does more to empty tbe baskets than do tbe wiles of the pretty assist-ants. Mrs. Eldridge was a dear friend of the late Mrs. Mary Fiska (one ot tbe most delight-ful women ever connected with the stage) and after Mrs. Kiske's death Mrs. Eldridge de-cided that there should be a monument over Mrs. Fiske's grave. In a few days she had collected $1,000 and the monument now is an accompltahed fact. Daniel K. Stearns. Daniel E.' Stearns, of whom a very good likeness is herewith given, will play during the season of lSUO with the Boston National League club, it having purchased him from the Kansas City club. Stearns is a very good first baseman in all that terra signifies. He is not a star player, and has remarked that he nover wai and never expectf to be. As a good, plain, every day, perfectly reliable baseman bo stand at tho top. He be gan playing ball with the amateur champions of But-- i falo, and made a good record. Siuce theu he has played with the Cincin- - AKIKL K. STEARNS. liatis, B<iniores, Buffalos, Maeous of Georgia, and I)es Moines. Uo will undoubtedly prove a great acquisition to ths club, and his signers look upon tbeir purchase as a gilt edge investment. He it very sure in handling balls, and is a fair left handed batter. His habits are pronounced to be the very best. Don't stand on the bow of a ferryboat or the platform of street cars unless your throat is protected. Philadelphia Sortu Asiericau.

WHAT HE BUILDS ITS HOPES ON. W. L Harris Presents the Arguments ol the Brotherhood Men and Tells Why They Expect Their Flan to Yield Hand-some Salaries to Players and Good Profits to Dackers. "Win or lose," says John M, Ward, "tlis riayers' league will go ahead In 1890." Mr. Ward referred to the great injunc-tion suit, the decision of which is now pend-ing. What he meant was that the new league would start with or without the men who played last season with the National league. The presumption is that should Jt be without them they would oome to the Play-ers' league in 1391. If this decision on the part of the lenders of the Brotherhood league, as announced by Mr. Ward, is honest, it indicates a confidence in the success of the now movement, not only em the part of the players, but on the part of the backers as well, that is remarkable in view of their owu arguments, upon which they base their chance (or success. This letter is for the purpose ot presenting the main point upon which the1 Brotherhood depend for success in tho battle with their old employers, if they make it. It is written at the request of several correspondents, who have asked me to give a resume of the Broth-erhood side ot the question. ' The players are sanguine of success, and so sire the gentlemen who are aiding them with money. They believe that ball players draw the public like star actors by their individu-- , ality more than by the merits ot the game which they present. 1 hoy argue tnac me oasetMUi patrons uo not cars a picayune for A. (. Spalding, A. H. Bodra, John B. Day and other baseball elub owners. They believe that tbe players of the National league and certain stars of tbe American association, as being the most nkilkid men in the profession, will draw the public to the exclusion of any teams that can be organized by the said A. O. Spalding, A. H. Soden, J. B. Day and others. They be-lieve that it will take the old League so long to educate men to take their places and they will have lost so much money In the opera-tion that the old League will retire from the business m disgust, leaving the field clear tor the Flayers' league. It is this abiding faith of the players that they are tbe attraction individually which forms tbe basis of their hope of snccess. The players at the start counted very large-ly upon toe sympathy of the pnblio in the treatment they have heretofore received from the magnates. During the pact two months this position has been directly va-cated, although indirectly they expect that sympathy for them will prove a big factor in their sucons, and their supporters and agents have been engaged in getting labor organizations to express this sympathy now by resolutions, and tbey expect that the la-boring men everywhere will expreas their sympathy in the summer by hard cash in the form of fifty cent admission fees. The Brotherhood men justify their seces-sion on the ground that the National loague has taken advantage of them for years and bused them by oppressive rules, and in a majority of casos by forcing them to play for salaries inadequate to the measure their ability and the profits derived from the game. And as a final clincher tbey bring forth the maxim that every man bas a right to go into business for himself whenever he desires to do so. The players think that the arrangements for distrlbntioB of 'profits and the chance it holds out for them to share in the product of their labor will cause them to play such fine ball that no opposition can, by any possibil-ity, touch them, and hence they will attract all of tho patronage that always goes where tbe best ball is played, and this class, together with personal admirers and sympathizers, will make the game a mint. , Theprcwpect for the player is an alluring one if all these rosy calculations come out right. The first fli.SOO of profit over and above all expenses will go to a prize fund ot $20,000, from which the players ot the lead-ing teams will draw down a share. Indeed, it is understood that each team will get some-thing out of this purse. Then the surplus of profits over (13,000 in each club will go into a general pool, to be divided equally among tbe 120 or so players of the league. It will be seen that should this fund amount to $12,000, each player would get about $100, and that if it should amount to 180,000 each player would get $500. Then the players who are stockholders will get a splendid thing out ol it in case of moderate success, even if tho other players should get nothing at alL For instance, Ed Hanlon bas $4,000 in stock in-vested in the Pittsburg Brotherhood club. Bhould that organization make $13,500 in profits, $3,&00 would go to the prize fund, and the balance being divided among the stockholders, Hanlon would get $2,000 as his hare, which added to his port of whatever prize money this team might get, his sabwy of $3,500 and his share of the players' pool in vent of suocess would give him a pretty good thing. It will be seen that the player stockholder! would have a snap even with moderate suc-cess, while in the event of a great success all the players would got something besides their salary. These are the inducements that have in-fluenced the player to "go into business for liimselt" tho well to do players because they could be stockholders and double profit sharers, the impruvidont players because they might contingently be profit sharers; and even it they were not, they would rather see the well to do players get the profits than those whom once Ward told me all ball play-ers considered "their natural enemies," meaning, of course, tbe magnates who have controlled baseball for the last fourteen years. The Brotherhood men argue that the de-serters who have left their ranks will not be of any value to the league, because that small section of the publio patrons of the sport who may attend tho gomes of the old Xeague will detest them, aud will so deride and taunt the men who have returned to the power of the magnates that they will be uu-- . able to play good ball. They argue also that the action of these men will forfeit by their desertion of the Brotherhood the popularity they have earned by skillful playing in tbe past. - , In fine, tbe Brotherhood players argue and believe that tho alleged public disliko of the magnates, the publio admiration for the - players individually and collectively, the great skill of these players, the public sym-pathy tor them and detestation of s, combined with tbe inferiority of tbe teams that will form tbe opposition, will tuoka the Players' league a glorious success. Personally I believe most of these argu-ments to be fallacious, but I have tried to oblige my correspondents as fully and fairly M the imits space would permit. V. I. Habjus. There have been landed at Granton by tbe Danish mail steamer Laura, from Iceland, 223 cases and casks containing over 7,500 braces of Iceland ptarmigan, which are really white grouse, valued only at $1,300. During the severe snow ttorms of winter the ptarmigan coma down from the mountainous regions of Iceland to the seacoast in quest of food, where they fall easy victims to the hunts-man's gun. A. S.
