Down tha hill the carried me, picking the softest turf, and moving with an easeful swing that rather lulled my hurt than jolted it. I was doting, even, when a strange nolse awoke me. ' Twos a hlh protracted nole, that seemed at first te swell up towards us, and then breka off in holt a doxea or mere sharp yell. Jean took no heed of them, but, seeing my eyes unclose, and hearing me moon, stepped short "Hurts thee, lad I" "Ne." Twos net my pain, but the sight of the sinking sun that wrung the exclamation from me "Lwas thinkiug," I muttered, "Don't; 'tis bad for health. But blde thee still awhile, and shalt He 'pen a soft bed." By this time we had come down te the read, and the yells were still going en, louder than ever. We crossed the read, descended another steps, and came all at once en a low pile of buildings that a moment before had been hid. Twas but three hovels et mud, stuck together In the shape et a headiest cress, the main arm pointing out towards the moor. Around the whole ran a battered wall patched with furze, and from this dwelling the screams were Issuing: "Jean!" the Telce began, "Jean Jan Ter gagle's a-clawln' my legs Oar-rout, thou bell cat Blast tbee, let me tog I Puli'n off, Jean Je-anl" The voice died away Inte a wall; then breke out In a racket et curses. Jean stepped te the deer and flung It wide. A my eyes grew used te the gloom Inside, they saw this: A rude kitchen the furntture but two rickety chairs, new tossed en their faces, an euk table, with legs sunk into the earth, a keg of fclreng waters, tilted ever and drain ing upon the mud fleer, a ladder leading up te a left, and in tne et the corners a few bundles of bracken strewn for bedding. Te the left, as one entered, was an open hearth; but the glowing peat turves v ere new pitched te right end left ever the bearthstone and about the fleer, where they rested, filling the den with smoke. Under one et the chairs a black cat spat and bristled; while in tha middle of the room, liarefoetcd In the em bers, crouched a man. He was half naked, old, and bent, with matted gray hair and beard hanging almost te his waist. His chest and legs were bleeding from a score of scratches; and he pointed at the cat, opening and shutting lib mouth like a deg, and bark lug out curse upon curse Ne way upset, Jean stepped across the Ittchcn, laid me en one of the bracken beds and explained: "That's fey thcr; he's drunk." With which she turned, dealt the old man a cull that stretched him senseless, and, gath ering up the turves, piled them afresh en the hearth. This dene, she took the keg and gave me a drink of it. Tbe stuff scalded me, but I thanked her. And then, when she had shifted my lied n bit te earn the pain of lying, she righted a chair, drew it up and sat beslde me. The old man lay like a leg where ha had fallen and was new snoring. Presently tbe fumes of the liquor or mcre faintness mat tered me and my eyes closed. .But the pict ure they clewl upon was that of Jean, as she leaned feruaid, chin en hand, with the glow of the flroen her brennsLin and in the depths of her dark eyes.

The insurrection has raised a very embarrassing question for the great power of Europe They cannot contest the right of the Turkish government te suppress a rebellion, und they think that in case of their interfer ence the sultan might, as en a former occasion, appeal te Russia for help and thus precipitate a conflict that would cenvulse Eurepe and Asia. The Turks, undoubtedly, have a hard task lcfore them. The Cretan revolt of 1860-8 cost them C0.0OO lives and $50,000,000, nnd even with this outlay the nominal mas ters of the island fcecurcd net a victory, but a compromise.

I The Western Teamt Held Their Ows. The Bosten team of tha Players league have struck a gait that Is fast making tha teams apprehebenaive that they will get tbe largest share et that 30,000 In prize money te which all in common mutt contribute at tha end of the season. The way Cant. Michael J. Kelly and hit assistants are pounding crack pitchers and rolling up runs and victories ia well calculated te worry their adversaries, particularly tha New Yerk brothers, who de net appear te be in it at all. It this thing keeps up much longer they will be calling some of these Invincible cracked pitchers. There have already been many surprises In the memorable campaign just opened, and one et them 1 tha remarkable form shown by that old war horse Kadbeurne. Ot course it Is early in the game te make predictions, but If Radbourne holds his speed and Btevey, Richardson, Nash, llrou llreu tncrsind Kelly keep up the lively can nonading the lively Keefe ball Is receiving, the gentlemen from Bosten will come, pret ty near winning the Brotherhood bunting. At nny rate It leeks new as it the guess "I ventured te make some, tlme since that Bosten, Brooklyn, New Yerk and Chicago would wrestle for first money was well founded, save as regards New Yerk. And there is no certainty that New Yerk will net be in it before long. It won't de te count Brether Ewing out of It yet. If they de net get tee deep Inte the consomme, Buck's team will strike a winning gait seen, nnd when they de they will make it lively. Be far as Buck's team go they are net the same old 0 lauts. Figure it as you will the less et Wurd, Tlernan and Welch has made a vacuum. Ward was frequently ir regular, but when the Giants get Inte a tight place he was nearly always ready te pull them out. They used te say out in Indlunapells that Mike Tiernan was a demon with the stick. Certainly' these bunts and hard drives of his were handy adjuncts te victory. And Welch well, Mickey nnd his smlle were of seme value In spite of the fact that since he refused te sign a Mayers' league contract his old com rades have voted him a stiff. The reasons for the ninny defeats of Ewlng's men In the past tw e weeks nre net mysteries. Buck's pitchers have been hit hard and his out fielders have been n bit slew. That's all there Is te It. Buck has read the riot act te nil hands, and unless there Is some ball playing pretty seen there will be some sur prises. The BtilTules have surprised the country by their success, and the Chlcages have been somewhnt of a disappointment. Com Cem iskcy has net get quite the work out of them tluit they are capable et doing, but at present they de net scorn te have much te fear except Bosten and Brooklyn. Ward's team have certainly done splendid work se far, and will de better as the sea sea seu progresses. Their victories from Bos Bes Bos eon nnd New Yerk are a pointer that they are likely te keep well up with the proces preces sion. In the League race the surprise has been the geed hull pluyed by the Philadelphia, Uosteu nnd Chicago colts, who have kept well te the front and seem te show no dis position te let go. All three teams nre playing magnificent ball, and have, seemingly, for the time at least, eclipsed the veteran teams of New Yerk, Brooklyn and Cincinnati. Mutrle's agjrrcg itien have made no better showing, se far hs position is concerned, than Ew ing'u men, for both teams nre ornaments et the rear division, and well in the rear, tee. Still they have played geed ball. The main trouble seems te be n lack of effec effec the tcii.i work nnd the aptitude the stars of the team have shown in making costly errors. But vt 1th such pitching nnd base riuiulng talent as the team undeniably have, they will net long remain in the back ground. They have the material te wlu the pennant, nnd Manager Mutric, like Manager llv, ing, is confidant that before the 1st et June his men will be well te the front. Sizing up both teams, I think Mutrle will be neirer the top than Buck will when the two tennis go en their first western trip. The western teams, with the excep tion of Cleveland, have been holding their own against each ether during the opening games; but It Is plainly evidentthat Cleve land und Pittsburg are net probable candi dates for llrht place honors. The Bestens nre doing the best batting, but seemed te lack intelligent direction iu their games at Brooklyn. They have a great let et base runners, but unless their ambition in this respect Is curbed when they are hitting the ball out of the let, it will lese many games for them before the season closes. The Brooklyn team seem te be suffering from tbe same trouble that has beset the New Yerk Brotherhood team. Their pitchers nre net in proper form, but I think this will merely be temporary. Curuthers iias pitched one geed gaine and se has Hughes. A few days of geed het weather will grcatiy help Byrne's pitching talent, bocuuse physically nil the pitchers nre in geed condition ami hnve taken geed care of themselves nil winter. Summed up the colt tennis of the league have the call at present, but the Indications, te me nt least, are that lfote the end et June New Yerk and Brooklyn will be well up, making a pretty race with Chicago, Bosten and Phil adelphia. The weakness of Philadelphia's team U iu the box, and it will be apparent when the heavy stickers begin te get their eye en the ball in earnest, and Chicago will suffer from the same cause before long. Se far the Players' league teams have done mero batting than the National league teams. Indeed, the Brotherhood pitchers have been pounded all along the line. It is tee early yet te flgure out, if it can l)e figured, hew much of this is due te the cighti.cn Inches added te the pitchers' dUtnnce. Tim Keefe sajs that it Is due m&luly te a tee lively ball and the fact that the pitcheri. nie net in condition. Tim, In my judgment, has hit the nail en the head. W. I. llAimis. GENERAL SPORTING NOTES. The free lawn tennls courts in Seuth park, Chicago, nre proving te be unusually popular. The Chicago Innovation has caused numerous expressions of opinion from ether large cities calling upon local park commissioners te de the same for their city. Twe lacrosse players, Clewes and Ellard, were recently arraigned before the Cana dian Association et Amateur Athletes en a chin ge of professionalism. Separate com mittees were appointed te Inquire into eacn case. Clewcs was acquitted, but It was found thut Ellard had coached the Druid Lncrosse club, et Baltimore, for several months at a salary, and he was disquali fied. Geerge Slossen, the winner of the recent New Yerk billiard tournament, is playing wonderful billiards in practice, for he says the hard and close work which he did in preparing himself for both the New Yerk nnd Chicago tournaments bus, after rest ing a little, given him a wendeiful stroke. He also remarked, "If such results could be produced en n day of a tournament the ethir players would le out of sight." Schwalbacli, the proprietor of u Brooklyn hlcjcle school, says that the prejudite that Indies first showed at riding a bicycle has te a great eteut piued away, and word has come te him that many of the fair patrons all ever the country new ride both siiigle and tandem. After they msj that It is simply u matter of confidence te ride, a two wheeled ehlcle, they adapt themselves te It with surprising exse. The tandem style Is growing te be unusually epular en nccountef the necessary companionship.

Ferd Describes Ills Manner of Ferfermlnc Net a Large Man, but Full et Muscle and Very Quick A Chal lenge Out for Carrie. The Illustration shows Jehn D. McPher son, the great shot putter, as he stands ready te perform his favorite game. He is net an unusually muscled 'man, but he ia very strong. His height Is 5 feet 11 inches, and his weight as the picture shows htm is 175 pounds. He has just issued a challenge te put with any man In the world different weight shots. There is little probability that any one outside et Currte will take up the challenge, and it is generally under stood that McPherson Intends his bold dell especially for his big rival. McPherson Is without doubt the most wonderful man In the world at putting tha shot for his weight. Geerge R. Gray, the amateur, Is considered a phenomenon, but he weighs a Uttle mere than McPherson and is net se geed. McPherson has been attracting n great deal et attention lately en account et his great ability nnd his comparatively small size. He is nothing but sinew from bend te feet, nnd his mo tions when delivering the shot nre very quick. McPherson, being both quick and strong, combines qualities that ninny enn never hepe te have, and his style at the game is perfection. JOHN v. M'rnF.nseN. Ills position in the picture is assumed just previous te taking a hop. A 7 feet 0 inch run Is allowed in putting the shot and McPherson starts with his right font against ene of the lines. Amateurs are al lowed only n 7 feet run. McPherson In de livering the shot raises his left feet sudden ly nnd hops ferwnrd with his right, land ing with his left feet nt the ether line and his right feet about In the middle of the two lines, which leaves his feet about 8 feet 0 inches apart. He lands, en that hop, in just about thu attltude that the picture shows him, except thst his shoulders may be a llttle further down. With a violent movement of his waist and right leg he raises his whele liedy, turns his right shoulder around at the same tlme and sheets his right arm out. The jumping movement with his legs is followed by their exchanging positions, for in throw ing his right side around he lands with his right feet te the mnrk, his left feet back and his right slde forward. He fellows the shot as far as possible with his arm with out getting tee much of an overbalance nnd falling ever the mark. All 6t these motions nre dene simultaneously and he gees through them se evenly and rapidly that one can hardly realize that he Is doing se many things at once. McPherson made a trial with different weights of shots, nnd although most of thorn were lighter than they were thought at first te lie, as found by a test afterwards, the performances are the best thut have yet lieen dene se far ns actual merit in shot putting Is concerned. His CO feet )i inch performance with the 13 pound shot is the licst professional record In the world, and his 40 feet 11 Inches with the 20 pound shct is also the best In the world. These are his two greatest records, but ha has come within a shade of the best records In all weights from 12 up te 24 pounds, and it is universally considered that Currla is the only man in thu world who can give him a competition.

He is temperate In his habits, and keeps himself in fine condition all the year arsund. As a fielder he is a sure catch et fly balls, and throws well te bases. AQUATICS. The great regatta which is being ar ranged for Duluth between July 21 and July 27 Is creating quite a stir In aquatic circles. It is expected that all the leading American professional scullers will take part and that there will be an equal show ing in amateurs. Several das will be given up te races for the latter, and un usually handsome prizes will lie offered. Meney purses will go te tbe professionals, and the fact that tlS,000 has already been raised shows en what a scale preparations are lieing made. It Is net improbable that William O'Couner, new In Australlu, will take part In this great American aquatic event. The date et the annual regatta of the Canadian Association of Amateur Oars men, which was fixed recently for July 20, lias lieen changed te Aug. 0, In order that the northwestern states' crews, comprising these from Chicago, Lake Mlunctenka, Detroit, Lake Geneva and ethers, may take part while en their wuy te the regatta of the National Association of Amateur Oars men of America, which takes place en Aug. 12 and 13 at Worcester, Mass.

Les Angriest a Lively Little Stare Who Mat Wen Many Itaeet. Les Angrlrs, the queen of Lucky Bald win's stable, is n wonderfully geed llttle mare. She has shown ability te go distance and te carry weight, and, unllke most of her sex, can run well In the early spring. This will be the fourth season for this great mare. In 1887 she wen six races and 122,000; in 18S8, twolve races and 131,000, and tu 1S80 right races nnd 14,000, a grand total of 170,000 for the three years. What she will accomplish this season is et course a matter of conjecture, but she should be pretty close te invlnclble with Plkcy Barnes in the saddle. As n 2-year-old she wen the Ladles' stakes nt Ixjulsvllle, May 12, aud the Run- LOS AXOKI.KS. tiynirde stakes en May 17, and ns n 3-year-old she wen the Latonia Derby after a dead heat with White. She should have wen the Champien stake at Monmouth Park Iu 1837 and tbe Lerlllard stake lu 18S8, but each time was outgeneraled by McLaugh lin, who rede Klugflsh in the former event aud Sir Dixen In the latter. In the sum mer of 1889, however, she defeated Fircuzl in the Champien stake. Her owner con siders Iter te be lu the finest condition pos sible and lit te run the lcst rnces et her career. With "Pike" Barnes en licrback, she certainly should de better than ever before. OBSERVATIONS ON WHIST. Te ene who Is controlled by a desire te learn seme et the mysteries of the game of whist, and who brings te it an ordinary in telligence, It is surprising hew rapid the advancement Is; and here it may Iks well te nete briefly seme et the changes which have taken place in the game bIiice Its In fancy. The avernge stock in troile of the card player Is that you must fellow suit or trump, play second hand low, third hand high, lead from your largest suit, lead trumps It you have five or mere, and re turn your partner's lead lit'plalu suits aud always lu trumps. This marks one et the first stages et the game. Then the power of finesse becomes gradually apparent. "If I have n king and knave," said the thoughtful player, "and my partner lends the suit I will play knave third hand as the chances nre against the knave lieing at my left." It wasef course easily apparent that this could be dene equally well with tbe ace nnd the queen, the knave nnd nine, etc., and that this principle of play could be used lu a variety of ways never dreamed of liefore. It probably reached Its culmi nation lu Dcschnpplcx, the grrnt French player, whose power et fliicsse was se for midable te his opponents. The trump signal (nn unncressarilyhlgh card played before n low ene), while In ene sonne It was the result of accident, ntthesamu time grew out et a necessity for informing your pnrtner that you want ed trumps led. It was frequently the case that a player finding himself strong in tmmps and net having the lead lest the game through bis inability te draw them out. Up te the time that the American gnme liccnme prominent thu gnme was essentially Kngllsh. Its development had arrived nt n certain stnge. Honors were counted. This introduced Inte the gnme un element et chance. The play of trumps, the establish ment of thu long suit, the signal for trumps, the conveyance et information, unblocking end the finesse, were nil under the most vigorous discussion. Peelo's famous essay en the philosophy of whist was welcomed nnd applauded. Peelo's Idea wns that the two hands should be played as one, and that each player should endeavor, by every means In bis power, te transport himself into the baud et his partner. Just nt this point in the progress of the gnme nrese n new light en the horizon. It wns te lie demonstrated that n new element could be introduced into the gnme. About six years age the late Nicholas D. Trlst, of New Orleans, first Introduced the idtaet conveying information by the nu merical value of the cants. In order te see the valne et this discovery, let us under stand the precise Idea et whist play. Of two partners, ene must necessarily be stronger than the ether. This may be shown before n card Is played; it may be shown during the first round or later, but the moment that It Is shown thu weaker player plays his partner's game. It is, therefore, et the utmost importance for a player te knew Just what cards his partner holds. This power et conveying Informa tion had always lieen recognized and dis cussed. Mr. Trlst was the first te reduce It te n scientific liasis. He showed the nu merical value et each card and its poweret conveying information. His Ilrst discov ery was the play of the fourth best. When you open a leug suit, hu said, always play your fourth beat. If after the first leund you play ene card lower than the ene you led, your partner knows you must hnve held live nt least originally; If you play two cards lower, then he knows you must have led from six nt least, mid seen. If you play a high card of your long suit, fellow it with your erig inal fourth best. Your partner knows you must have two better than thu second card led. The next thing Mr. Trist discovered was the conveyance of Information by high cards, nnd hu formulated this rule: With two high, indifferent cards lend the higher if you opened n suit et four, the lower if you opened a suit of live. These rules of playrcvolutlencdthogame, and still further has whist lieen reduced te an exact science by what is termed "the new play," which deals with sequences. It tells you hew, with n certain number of cards In sequence they should be played se as te convey the greatest amount of infor mation te your partner. Anether distinct ively American play Is thu play of the 9, w hlch is nu er led except with k and ku, and lieu-rwlth ace or q. The American play lias lieen adopted lu Kngluud, and Is the itandard.

Twe women mero differ ent lu everything but the largeness of their hearts and their talents It would lm diffi cult te mention, but this man hns put their portraits In the snine frame. "Yes," says lie, "they were different, but were both wonderful both admirable." The very mention of Chnrlotte Cush man's nnme is sufficient te recall te the elder theatre goers their most delightful experiences. In whatever character she appeared she was sure te play It mero per fecily than any mm who had gene before, mid, truth te tell, theso who have come nfter hnve hnrdty Improved the parts. She Ilrst went before the public In Bos Bes Bos eon, In March, 18.10, At that timoshons timeshons timoshens plred te be u singer. In 18.15 she went te New Orleans, where nn Illness nearly de stroyed her voice. Te this Illness wns due her decision te beceme nn nctress iu stead et n singer. And w hat nn nctress she beenmel Leeking back ever the printed reviews of her w erk new yellowed by the lnpse et tlme It seems that the characters in w hlch she w ns most admired were Meg Mcrrllles and Lady Macbeth. The former part she first assumed In rather peculiar circum stances, The Illness et Mrs. Chippendale made It necessary for Miss Ciiahmau te tip- (tear In her place with less than twenty four hours nutlce. ' Of her Nnney Slkes Lnwrence Barrett said: " but most wonderful of nil wns the death scene. As she painfully dragged herself en te the stnge tliqtcfffct was simply Intense In its realism. She kept her fnee turned nwny from the audi ence, but the magnificent management et her voice, as she called for Bill nnd U-ggcd of him te kiss her, produced a feeling et chilly horror. It wns ns It she speke through bleed." Clam lCrsklnu Clement, in her llfe of thu great nctress, tells mi anecdote which Illus trates her character. As she wns playing Bernee te Miss Audcrteu's Juliet, some one in the audience sneered in nn evidently nitlllclal nnd dcrlsive manner.

Dandy Din meet said that in the death sccne of Meg Mcrllles he had te turn nwny his head whlle supporting her, "ami I have seen ladles In the nudlence cover their faces with their hands, unable te endure the sight of the dying ngoulcsef thntnwful fuce." There still lives in Philadelphia ene of Miss Cushman's maids, Mrs. Curtis, thu sister of Sullle Mercer, the actress' servant nnd confidential companion, The house lu which Mrs, Curtis lives was built by Mis Cushman for Sallle Mercer; but when her will was lead it was found that sbu had be queathed It te Mrs. Curtis, otherwise pro viding for Sallle. Klveycnrs nfter Chnrlotte Cushman made her first appenrnnce en the stnge Adah Isaacs Menken wns born nenr New Or leans. Although her career was much Hhnrter than that of the grcnt Cushman, she created almost as much of accusation. She made her debut when she was only 8 years old ns ndauseuse, and between that tlme and the tlme when she gave up danc ing for acting she gained romarkable re nown for grace and beauty. It was about 1655 w.hen shu announced her retirement from the stage. She did seme really geed literary work during the three years of her retirement, publishing among ether things n volume of poems of considerable merit. During the season of 1653 she returned te the stnge, net ns a dniiMiise, but In "Fa "Fa zeo." She was ns successful in the new line ns she had lieen lu the old, but shu seen retired attain, this tlme te study sculpture, lu which nrt she showed unusual talent. A bust et Barbae), whom she greatly admired, is the only memento of this period of her llfe new known te be iu existence. Her longing for tha slnge returned in a year, and she nppcnied for the first tlme In New Yerk. Fer the nextfourycnrsslie appeared In nil the Inrge cl lies of the United States In turn, sailing for Kugland from San Francisce April jy, INil.

The supposition that she wns born in the Jewish faith Is In correct, although she embraced It w hen she was about 17 years old. She was married three times, oneof her busbnuds being ltob lteb ert H. Newell, whose well known literary pesudenym was "Orpheus C. Kerr." Whlle In Kunlaud she became acquainted with Charles Dickens, beginning a friendship which wan In Its brightest bloom nt the tlme of her death, Shu showed her admi ration fur the great novelist by naming her beautiful New Yerk home "Bleak Heuso" iu his honor.

What Hi" Vlt'iini-ui Are Doing, The life and Intuitu of the citizens of Vienna nre yearly displayed by the city government in a book of rcmorbelesa and uncompromising statistics. It appears from the record for 188!) that there were 15,500 legitimate nnd 11,500 illegitimate births iu the city. Iu censequence of the raising of the price of cigars by the gov ernment 12,000,000 fewer cigars were smoked than in the preceding twelve month. The Vieuuese get even with the ttate, however, by (smoking cigarettes, the consumption of which was increased by 21,000,000. Twe hundred nnd ninety six iersens left the Reman Catholie church nnd 207 the Jewish. Sixty ndepted the Hebrew faith, and 130 cut loose fiem religion altogether. Niirr Toe Itte te Mend.
