Neville, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church. Rev. Neville U a native of Melbourne, Australia, and although still a young man he has traveled In all parts of the globe, and at one time was a captive for 15 months of cannibals, on the Island of New Guinea, northwest of Australia, near the equator. In 1892 he Joined an English party, consisting of six young missionaries and a number of converted South Sea Islanders, which sailed from Australia for New Guinea, and after reaching tbs Island steamed In a launch up Fly river to an unexplored - region, 600 miles from Its mouth. They constructed their thatched huts and had settled down for their work among the natives when they were attacked one night by the savage band and the settlement was wiped out. Dr. Neville being the only survivor of the party. The others were butchered as they slept, and Dr. Neville attributes his escape from death to the fact that he was sleeping In a hut apart from the others and was not discovered until the lust for blood had been satisfied. The bodies of his companions were roasted In great fires of wood, and they were devoured by the hundred or more savages, while he was compelled to stand by and witness the hideous orgy. After the feast, which lasted for several days, the band resumed Its march from the smoking ruins of the settlement with the lone captive, who expected to be killed at any moment and meet the fate of his friends. Far In the Jungle the band finally reached a village where Dr. Neville fell 111 of fever. The white man, the UPRISING PROGENY BORNE BY MALTESE TABBY.

OF PITTSBURG CLUB Names of Sugden, Blerbauer, "Pink Hawley, Brownie Foreman, Elmer Smith and Others Recalled by a Fan Hit of Brooklynlto That Didnt Win th Gams. Manager P. J. Donovan of the Brooklyn team represents the last of a famous baseball club which for aggressiveness has perhaps never been equaled on the baseball field. By aggressiveness one means playing aggressiveness not the rowdy kind of work that has characterised teams during recent years. The old nttsburg team of the middle nineties was characterised by a genuine fighting spirit Most of the players were stars, but they lacked the team work which made ebam plonshlp clubs. Connie Mark was then manager, but Connie Mack of 12 years ago and Connie Mack of today are two dlBerent persons. A look over the list of the Pitts-burg- s of Donovan's time also shows the fleeting quality of baseball fame. Of that old team, known throughout every part of the country, but two are in the limelight Mack and Donovan. As one remembers them the others are aa follows: Bill Bchriever and Joe Sugden two of the best catchers who ever played the game. Schrlever Is now down In some little state league In Ohio, while 8ugden is In the American association. Jake Berkley was first baseman he Is now In the association and still n fine ball player. Louie Blerbauer, the idol of the Pittsburg fans, and n man who fielded In Lajole's easy-goinstyle, was second. "Louie, Ixuile, were the cries which greeted every good play he made. He contracted rheumatism nine years ago and Is now out of the game for good. Fred Ely, n sensawas tional performer, shortstop. He went to the west for bis health, managed n team In Oregon, and I believe Is now dead. Stuart was the best of many third basemen tried by Mack. He is out of the game now, and in California. Elmer Smith, the wonderful leftflelder, Is out In the bush leagues In the west. Jake 8tenzel, who led the league In hitting, and player center field, Is out of the game and living quietly In Cincinnati. Donovan played right, and was regarded as the fastest base runner and most finished outfielder of the day. "Pink Hawley, a wonderful pitcher, and Frank Killeen, the great lefthander, were the team's mainstays In the box. Hawley Is running a little club In Eau Claire, WIs., and Killeen, worth at least (100,000, is umpiring In Brownie" Forethe Central league. man, a brother of the famous Frank Foreman of Baltimore fame, another pitcher, la out of the game. This was only 12 years ago. How fans recall many of the present-dath names mentioned? Three years ago, when the Washington team was In its usual position at the tall end of the league, Ban Johnson signed Patsy Donovan to manage the club. The best players were being sold to other clubs, Orth going to New York and Cougblln to Baltimore. Players were so scarce that Donovan himself bad to play right to-da- g d Who Havo Been Traded Shows Wisdom of Policy.

When some of the trades of the past are recalled; when the fans consider some of the apparently dead timber that wise managers have permitted tiv slip through their fingers only to see them come to life and play marvelous ball for some one else, It Is easy lo believe that baseball Is the strangest and always the most Interesting or sports. For Instance, Clarke Griffith had a string on "Nlg" Clarke and let him-slidwithout much regret. Clarkev a star Another deal that shows up Cincinnati Is one In which Jell Overall and Harry Stelnfeldt went te the Cubs for Welmer and Wicker. The last named pair were rated as fall pitchers, and Overall did not show enough to make Hermann enthuse, But Chance knew big Jobs ability, and he got him, with Stelny, How the Cub leader ever bluffed Garry Hermann Into releasing Stelnfeldt will always be a mystery, but he did, and Harry le now a world's champion. Harry Davis, the Athletics' crack first baseman, couldnt dollver for Louisville, but with faith In himself Davis refused the Judgment, and now he Is an Idol of the Philadelphia fans. Claude Ritchie and "Dandy Beam mont were canned by Pittsburg when Fred Clarke decided be must have Abbatlcchlo at any price. Both Beau and Ritchie have played grand ball for Boston. George Davis was canned by New York and has been a wondet In the Sox Infield ever since. It was his magical work that did much tc help the Sox into a world's champion ship. But Keeler and Stone oSer tbs most remarkable case on record. In the American association Stone wa a marvel and Boston was lucky to gel him. Jim Collins made the mistake ol his life when he let him go to St Louie for Jesse Burkett Keeler wai chased out of New York before the old Baltimore days. Frank LaPorte, who couldn't fit lute the Yankees Infield, has been playing like a house afire for McGuire this year.

My memory for dates Is not very clear, but I think that dinner was given In May, 1895. I had been posing for various artists, head and figure, and was Just 15 years of age. Henry C. Poor gave the dinner In honor of a business friend, whose name 1 do not remember, In the studio of James L. Breese on Sixteenth street. "I think Robert Reid planned the dinner and Mr. Poor footed the bills, because it was Mr. Reid who engaged me and told me what a great event It was to be. One hundred and fifty quarts of champagne, he said, had been ordered, and the dinner was to cost (100 per plate without the wine. "He rehearsed me very carefully for the part I was to play. You see, I had posed for him very often and he knew Just what to expect of me. He bought a great shallow pan or tub, Just big enough to hold me, and had a cover of crust baked for it Then the crust was very carefully lifted oB, I was put Inside and the cover laid over me. My shoulders were draped with black gauze and a blackbird such as you put on a hat was fastened In my hair, which hung down around my shoul ders. In my hand I carried a box filled with tiny birds.

Patsy had been out of the game for a season, and while bis fielding did not sufler, his bitting did. Although be finished the season better than .300 It took him several week8 to get started, and in these few weeks he had some of the hardest luck ever experienced by a player. Out In Detroit he came to bat In the ninth Inning with one run needed to tie, a man on third and two out. Being a left handed batter, Matty McIntyre, outfielder of the Tigers, figured that Donovan's bit, If It went to left, would be short, Matty was wearing a fielding glove which he had raised down on the lots of hts old Staten Island home. It was ' a veteran of many campaigns, and Matty loved It like he did the first and fifteenth of each month. The center of the glove was worn almost through, but Matty clung to It. The glove was of the best quality, so that the hole worn In It was perfectly round, the size of a ball, and right through the first section of the skin. Donovan smashed a low liner over third base. It looked like a sure hit. McIntyre came In like a shot, but thought he couldn't get the ball before It reached the ground. He had about decided to stop, take It on the first bound, and allow the score to be tied. But he changed hia mind and decided to try for the spectacular catch. He rushed forward with all his speed, and at the last Instant stuck out his hand for the ball. The ball dropped with a thud and stayed there. McIntyre continued on oer to Donovan and said: "Pull the ball out, Patsy, Its stuck there." It took a good-sizeyank to release It bad caught In the the sphere. hole, and with any other glove In the league would have gone for a hit. and they exhibited a sort of rude tenderness toward the prisoner, and satisfied bis wants as well as they could be understood. He was unconscious for days, and finally he began gaining sufficient strength to walk about his hut, and be discovered that the savages had carried him across the Island and (hat their village was on the oceans shore. He determined to keep the good will of the band until such time as an opportunity might be afforded to escape to a passing ship. Fifteen months passed, and one day he sat on the beach In his tattered pajamas and a straw hat, the only articles of clothing he had been allowed to bring with him Into captivity, when a ship appeared in the offing.
