We may now safely say that we arc w,ith
in sight of the starting point of the great
baseball race of 1891. "When teams begin
to go abroad "to get into condition," and
when the annual baseball guides begin to
flood the country, it is a sure sign that the
commencement of the season is not far oft.
VeIl, as the opening day gets nearer, base
ball afiairs seem to get pleasanter. When I
say this I am mlhdful'of the fact of the ex
istence of the disgruntled Association; but
to me the Association amounts to very little;
indeed, if all talk about this "war" basi
ness were to cease, the Association would
soon be forgotten. It has no foundation
and just as sure as a structure
without a foundation cannot possibly stand,
just as sure will the Association fabrication
topple over. When it does it will be a
blessing to baseball, because there will then
b; some cope of rebuilding it on a safe and
Eolid basis. Whatever ills and miseries
overtake the Association will simply be the
result of the stupidity and fanatism of its
leaders. 1 am glad to note that the National
League is going ahead, in a businesslike
way, and it is safe to say that as a result of
the meeting of magnates in Cincinnati, an
account of which appeared in The Dis
patch of yesterday, the League will once
more be absolutely solid and well prepared
to have a good season.
Affair in General.
Judging from the tone of the magnates
who met in Cincinnati Friday.the League's
prospects are generally very bright. That
there will be an excellent team in Cincin
nati seems certain, and it is just as certain
that Cincinnati patrons of baseball will ap
preciate a good team. This being so, all op
position to a League team in Cincinnati
wiK soon vanish, that is, if there ever is
an to begin with. Host assuredly that
city has had more than its share of turmoil
and humbuj, as far as baseball affairs are
concerned, ana it seems to me certain that
tue patrot.s of the game there will be quite
ready to indorse the best club and the best
opposing clubs that will cater to them. I
cannot believe that the rank and file of
baseball patrons in Cincinnati desire to haTe
two clubs in their midst, and if two are
jlanted among them they can soon kill the
inferior by withholding their patronage
Irom it And just as sure as eggs are C7gs
this is what will be done. I don't think
that I am going outside my provwre-when
I E.iy there is no sound reason at all why
the Association ever should have attempted
to put a second club into Cincinnati. This
feature should not be lost sight of. Well,
with matters all right in Cincinnati, all
that is cow needed is for the officials of
each club to get their teams into first-
rate form, because, depend upon it, there

Prospects of the Local Team.
In some lespecls it may"6e"premature to
come to any definite conclusion regarding
the baseball team who is going to do battle
for the heretofore unfortunate cranks in
Pittsburg this year. Now and again the
advice of Josh Billings, who advised us
never to prophesy until after the event, is
worthy of acceptance and particularlv in
baseball. But in this instance I am willing
to run all risks and reject the admonition of
Mr. Billings, but 1 am not going to "go the
-whole bog." Oh, no; I mean to talk of our
team's future in a very qualified way, be
cause, as I have just said, baseball is
awfully uncertain; indeed, a good deal more
to than the historic jumping frcg. Well, I
deem it quite safe to say that we have ou
paper the best baseball team that has ever
teen in Pittsburg; that i,that has ever been
known as the Pittsburg club. I am aware
that it is not as strong, at least it, docs not
appear as strong as it could be, but still we
have tne Strongest team "we have ever had.
But it may be well to remember that when
this is said, it is only what the players ap
pear to be on paper, and after we are all
satisfied on this point we must still wait to
tee and iudge of tbe work of the team. This
is the troublesome point; this is the feature
over which we will probably have some very
conflicting opinions. While I may feel cer
tain that the team's work will be first-class,
many patrons of the club may "think quite
uifferent, and time only will show who is
right Xoir I am not going to say that we
have an aggregation of pennant winners,
because experience has proven to ns that the
Aery best nine that can, on paper, be gotten
together can be very badlv beaten, in actual
conflict My readers will remember what I
said recaruug the great Chicago Vt L. last
vear. I am just as reluctant yet in looking
upon an aggregation of "otars" as sure win
ners. But while 1 declme to "spot" our
team ns sure pennant wlnners,l am prepared
to say that they will make those who do win
the pennant go through the season at a very
lively gait
A Few Comparisons.
If we begin to examine ouriteanfindivid
ually 1 think we'll find tbat our representa
tives stand as well as those! of any other
city. I am not unnundlnl bf tbe (act that
we'have an experiment at a very important
position. 1 refer to Sillier at short. Only a
few days ago a very experienced player ex
pressed to me tbe opinion that "Miller would
aot be a success at the position. This pre
diction mav be true, lut I am inclined to
think that Miller will come out all right if
be will take care of himself. But putting
Miller to one side I Tail to see where any
sther club in the country appears to be any
Stronger all round than the Pittsburg club
is. When I say this 1 am taking everything
into consideration, hitting, pitching, field
ing and base running. Certainly the New
York team has the appearance of an ex
traordinary one. and in some respects am
free to admit that they are the superiors of
our lot. But I oo not admit tbat tbe .hew
York team appears to be .as strong as the
IMtub&rg team in batting ahd in pitching,
snd I question very much 'whether New
York wi.l be any stronger in catching
than PittsbVg vrill be. I have referred
to New York simply because it seems to be
generally conceded that the team of that
city looks to be stronger than any other
team. Well, v all goes well I will not be
uurprisedtoseeven Kew York come off
cecond best ss compared with Pittsburg.
This then juggins tbe question: What
jjgure will the iittsburg team cat in the
race? I w' he -tzceediDgly disappointed
:f the local team is Vt among the leaders
Zrom the start, and ths 'means'that we will
for once get lar beyonA thai miserable sixth
place. One thing is se, and that is if our
team does not keep amipg the leaders, the
players must be far beloAtheir past. records;
l0 other words, if they pltV fap to their form
f hey cannot Veil be loww than second or
third. And it seems to meHhat the suceess
pf the club to a very great eitent I mlgnt lay
gjjost entinJjr. depends on tat team work of
tne players. Each member is a sterling player.

Is a very delicate matter to handle because the
financial success of the club almost entirely
depends onlho performance of the players. X
have always held the opinion that it we had a
team here, who could hold their own against
all comers, the financial success of the club
would be assured. 1 s'tand by this assertion a
a prediction still, because we may depend upon
It that as soon as we get a team of players who
are at or about the top of the list, all quarrels
and conflicts will be forgotten and everybody
will be enthusiastic. People who patronize
contests for amusement soon forget soores of
discontent when their tavorites are winning.
Enthusiasm increases by leaps and pounds and
everybody becomes affected by it So will it
be with pur ball team if they prove to be win
ners. And the stockholders or the club de
serve to be financial winners this year. I am
sure they have paid out their money with un
sparinE hand since last fall and nave con
tracted to pay out very large sums
of money before this year vanishes. 3 his
has all been done in the hope that a win
ning team will be secured, and, when a cour
ageous and generous policy, such as this. Is car
ried out, it is the duty of the public to aid the
venture in every reasonable way. There has
been no niggardliness on the part of the club di
rectors. Wbenft has been necessary to go and
make a heroic stroke to capture a prominent
player the club directors have completely un
loosened their purse strings and planked up the
cash to a very high figure. Surely this deserves
recognition on the parrot the public, and I feel
confident that the public will view the matter
in this light. These thoughts, then, lead rue to
believe tbat the clnb will be a financial success
this year. That is, it will make more than the
ordinary expenses. And let me venture the re
mark that if we once secure a winning team
here, and the finances come out all right,
no directors in the baseball business will
act with better pluck than those of Pitts
burg. They are thoroughly game, and It they
turn out to be winners they will have a much
bolder policy in the f utnre than now.
Hark Baldwin's Case.
About the most miserable, in fact, I mlgh
add, the. most despicable case that has ever tar
nished the annals of baseball Is the alleged
case of Von der Aha against Mark Baldwin.
That remarkable misfit in baseball. Von der
Ahe, asne all know, trumped up a charge of
conspiracy against Baldwin, and bad the latter
lodged in a St Louis jaiL That was an outrage
in itself, but it was onlyiu keeping with the
record of a character who has done more to de
fame and disrupt the national game than all
other detainers and disrupters pnt together.
When Baldwin was arrested, this same charac
ter. Von der Abe. and his minions were loud in
their declarations abont the strong rase they
had against Baldwin; even one disreputable
creature scribbled out descriptions of Baldwin
in the penitentiary. Well, Baldwin appealed
befor the Judge quite ready to face his ac
cusers. They were not there, and the case v
postponed. Baldwin faced the Judge a second
time, and bis accusers were again absent Ihe
case was again postponed, btill a third time
Baldwin faced the J udge to apswer the charge,
and again were his accasers absent The
case was again postponed. And all this
was done in full view of the dire calamities re
sulting from the maladministration of justice
in New Orleans. Was there ever a greater out
rage perpetrated on a ball player than Von der
Abe and St Lotus Courts have perpetrated on
Baldwinr Can it bo possible thatbt Louis
iudges are under tne influence oi oeer-seuing-laseball-humbngsT
Surely matters haven't be
come so far degraded in St Louis and yet It is
difficult to reason out tbat Baldwin has bad
justice fairly meted out to turn in St Louis.
The case so far is a disgrace to baseball and to
St Louis. But this is one more proof of the
necesityof having VonderAhe out of na.
tional agreement baseball entirely. He is in no
manner or form fitted to participate in the
business. Whatever bis qualities as a lager
beer vender niav-be, be is undesirable in base
ball, and intelligent and honorable magnates
should know this. Baldwin's character cannot
possibly be injured by the efforts of Von der
Abe. ft is to be hoped that there are some
people in St Louis wbo have respect for justice
and that tbey will aid Baldwin in at least
getting the semblance of fair play.
H Worthy Example.
During the week I was reminded pf an annual
event which takes place In this -city and which
in my estimation is worthy of emulation. With
pleasing regularity it has taken place for
several years and It will once more be cele
brated to-day. I refer, to the annual banquet
of the J. H. Porto Fishing Club. Of course,
there is nothing grandly improving- in the
affair, "but the princfple underlying it is what
I want to say a word or two about Mr. Porte
is a very liberal patron of the club, which, by
the way, Is made up of a nnmber of very In
telligent very hard-uorking and very steady
living young men. The object of the club is to
afford these young men pleasure of a Whole
iiuuiuuiua juuuj; iuch tHCMiucuia wuvic-
some :and ennobling kind and it is to this end
that Mr. Porte fUDDorts It WelLbeireneronslr
provides tbe annual banquet and tbe annnal
catdd and to see tbe irathermr together of these
-vouncstersls,"tnaeea, (Tvery eujoyable Sight
There are clans ana tnere are emus, out a
fishing club of tbe J. 11. Porte kind for youne
jnen is an organization that well-intentioned
gentlemen of wealth should copy. They do
good. Tbey not only are tbe means of afford
ing recreation and good sport foryocugmen
but they tend to keep in check the desires for
questionable pursuits. I trust that the J. H.
Porte Pishing Club will live lone and will soon
see quite a goodly number of others llae it
I almost forgot to mention tbat tbe banquet
this year will be at tbe Monongabela House,
and if it is like its predecessors it will be a
first-class affair. I draw attention to this club
because of the great tendency there is at pres
ent for young men to organize themselves into
a clnb, and before their organization is a
month old tbey are in diffisnlties. A guide is
needed, and while Puritanic rnles are foolish
there should be limits of conduct in these clubs
if they are to live.
Jem Smith and Pritchard.
One of tho prominent events of the week as
far as pugilism is concerned bas been tbe
matching of Jem Smith and Ted Pritchard to
fight for tbe English championship. There
are many reasons why American Interest in a
battle between these men is great Smith has
already had a "go" at some of our champions,
and Pritchard is now before the world as the
man who wants to fight any middle weight in
the United States. Of course many people will
be surpnsed to find Pritchard going ont of bis
class and arranging to fight a man like Smith.
At first sight it appears extremely risky ou tbe
part of Pritchard. but If we examine the mas
ter closely 1 think we'll And tbat it is not so
very risky after alL I have never held a very
hish opinion of Smith -as a pugilist ana
I have declaiea myself on -this point more
than once. He is far -from being first
class, and bis contest with a moder
ate man ltke Kilraln settles this beyond
dispute. On the other bind Pritchard is a
One-class middle-weight. I bold this to be true
even tbongh bis fight with Burke was not
"genuine." If that affair was "on tbe square"
and if Burke was in good form then Pnicbard
is nothing short of a wonder. ButI have yet to
be convinced that Pritchaid's fight with Burke
is'absoluteiy genuine; that isl need more evi
dence to convince me tbat Pritchard com
pletely settled Burke in "up and up" style in
three rounds it Burke was the -Burke we really
have Known so long. But entirely aside from
.that affair I boldPntchartito.be a first-class
pugilist of the good old type. Last year when
in Encland my readers will remember tbat I
gave tbe opinion of a man Jike Tom Svmonds
regarding Pritchard. That opinion was to the
effect that Pritchard was tbe best middle
weight there had been in England for years,
The Two lien Compared.
Well then, to co'me tb appoint, we have Smith
as an inferior heavy-weight and Pritchard as
an extra good middle-weight Wow when we
look at the matter from this standpoint we
are bound to admit tbat Pritchard's chances
are not so bad as at first sight they appear to
be. Everybody who bas taken any interest at
all in fistic matters must know that in very
many instances good middle-weights have de
feated inferior heavy-weights, and the same
thing will occur again. England bas been pro
verbial for having middle-weights as cham
pions of all, and it may be that in Pritchard
tbe Britishers have secured another Mace or
Bayers. But it is not necessary for Pritchard
to be either a Mace or a Sayers to defeat
Smith, and this fact leads me to the conclusion
that Pritchard's chances of Defeating Smith
are not at all bad. Of course, it is much too
soon to come to any definite conclusion in the
matter yet as the men are not to fight until
August My only aim at present a to show
tbat Pritchard and bis hackers have not done
such a foolish thing as many people think they
have.
Some Very Tall Blustering.
While I am dealing with middle-weight let
me say a lew words about Hall and Fitzsim
mons., Whatever these men may be as fighter
theycertainly have proven themselves the equals
of anybody as talkers and blusterers. Neither
of. them have yet proven to Americans that
they are the wonders they declare themselves
to be, and I am gradually coming to the conclu
sion that Fitzsimmons is a wind-bag. He is
playing a most ridiculous part, but a part that
is In strict keeping with the latter day schem
ing of pugilists and managers to extort money
from the public. The very fact that we have
two men in this country wbo are both posing as
tho middle-welch! champions of the world, mrt
at the same time decline to fight each other, is
extremely absurd. Hill's backer has displayed
any amount ox money who wnicn ne win back
bis man against Fitzsimmons, ana tbe latter,
with wonderful, nay astoundinr dignity, and in
pualllstic classics, qualifies Hall as merely a
"chump" and a "duffer." This is elegant Jio
doubt and quite a unique way of defending
tbe title of champion. We can, therefore, con
clude that' the "remarkable" and dignified
pugilist- from tbe country down under is ,
iet 'irisHitetOv -foli, hls,banda on. .a
CliJi5JJw3iitr:3"1 ca oyn;n sa if
paid the very useful sum of 120,000 for doing it
The truth is there Is good reason to believe
that Fitzsimmons is not at all inclined to face
HalL At any rate the former, to gain tbe re
spect of admirers of the manly art must either
accept Hairs challenge or give some sonnd
reasons as to why be declines. But Hall is also
doing more talking than fighting. Of course
be wants to fight somebody, but he wants to
pick his man. He bas offered to fight Carroll,
of Brooklyn, and allow tbe latter to welch over
180 pounds. Why won't Hall concede this con
dition to Ed. SmithT Hall and his backer are
in duty bound to answer this question. But
Smith does not even demand any favors. He
will fight Hall at middle-weight, and I am in a
position to say more than this. Just as sure as
we live, one of these dajs a forfeit will be put
up for Smith to fight Fitzsimmons under Lon
don prize ring rules at 168 pounds, or under
Queensberry rules at 154 pounds. When this
challenge is issued I. really fall to see how
Fitzsimmons cin afford to ignore It U he de
clines it, then I will be thoroughly convinced
that he does cot want to fight any good man at
alL
Farrell nnd Daly.
And we are not going to have tbe contest be
tween Joe McAuliffe and Pat Farrell. Few
people will be sorry for it because the disparity
of tbe height and weight of the two men is too
great to make the contest interesting. Mc
Auliffe's contest with Jim Daly Is another
proof that tbe "Mission Boy'' has not been
destined to be a knocker out; in fact he is to a
very great extent a pugilistic fraud, and it is
only the scheming of "managers" tbat keeps
him before the public. Broken hand or no
broken hand, it is all the same to me. When a
man like McAuliffe makes a failure against a
man like Daly be should retire entirely. Well,
now that McAuliffe has gone into obscurity for
a while we are to have a contest between Daly
and Farrell. This ought to be quite satisfactory
to Farrell, for if he cannot defeat Daly it is
nseless for him to expect to make a successful
career as a pugilist If he defeats Daly, which
he onght to do. he will have a better opportun
ity than be bas now to secure a contest with
one of the tip-toppers. Farrell Is really an un
known quantity, and until be performs we will
have little idea of what bis abilities are.
Among the Lightweights.
I have a letter from Billy Hawkins, the
Western lightweight who so far has bad quite
a Tlotorious career. He is eager to come East
and tackle anybody at 1S3 pounds, give or take
2 pounds. If Ed Smith is matched against
either Fitzsimmons or Hall, Hawkins will train
him and will at the same time try and seenre a
match with Austin Gibbons, Jack McAuliffe
or any lightweight In the country. Now here
is a chance for any of those alleged lightweight
world beaters, but I am afraid that like tbe
other "champions" they will have all kinds of
excuses against meeting Hawkins. Tbe latter
will certainly make matters exceedingly warm
for any lightweight be meets, and there is
ereat probability tnat if ever be meets Gibbons
he will prove victorious. Gibbons is now en
joying a wonderful reputation, and has done
precious little toward earning it and why one
of tbe great clubs does not offer a purse for
him and Hawkins is a matter I cannot under
stand. That exploded "cyclone," Myer. of
Streator. ana Jack McAuliffe are still fishing
for a big purse, and there seems to be very lit
tle chance of their gettiug one, It is stated
that tbey put up a forfeit of 1.0C0 a side. This
may or may not be true, but If tbey cannot get
a purse whr does not one of them turn his at
tention to Hawkmsf Already McAuliffe and
Myer have played a -very suspicious part,
and they ought to tackle a stranger.
Peter Prlddy and Darrin.
There is a strong probability of a three-mile
race between Peter Priddy and the Enclish
runner, Harry Darrin, jndging from the latter's
challenge which appeared in yesterday's DIS
PATCH. The challenge has every appearance
of being bona fide, and as Darrin gives Priddy
his choice of any distance from one to three
miles I anticipate that Priddy will select the
longest distance. I know that the Fittsburger
bas for some time past been anxious to run
anybody three or five miles, and it is quite
likely tbat he will at once accept Darrin's chal
lenge. A race of three miles between these
men is sure to be Interesting, and personally I
would like to see it take place in Pittsburg.
Darrin, as we all know, is a great pedestrian,
and if he and Priddy were to run here on
a fine day tbe event would certainly
be an attractive one. But it Is quite interesting
to note that Darrin signs himself "champion of
tbe world." 1 am at a loss to know wnere ana
when be ever earned tbat title, and I don't
hesitate to say tnat Priddy has as much claim
to any title of champion as anybody else who
makes it a business to run three miles. But
this feature is of little moment except that it
means a race between the two men would be
very mnrh like a championship contest Each
man claims the title and a race between tbem
would certainly settle their respective claims
as far as they are concerned. I trust the raoe
will sro on and that It will be arranged to take
.place, at .a time .when-we -may expect good
weather, ana aiso tnat ootn men win do in
their best form. If they are the race will be a
great one. - -
A Few Words About Drugging.
Tbe following remarks abont "poisoning"
athletes and also regarding tbe evils of "betting
men" becoming connected with sporting affairs
are made by Henry Sampson (Pendragon) and
are of great interest He says: Borne day,
when tbe histsry of the prize ring comes to be
written the real, unvarnished, seamy-side his
torythe world may be astonished at a narra
tive of poisoning in which some famous fight
ing men of less than a generation ago figure.
A pugilist whose name at the time was on
every tongue, but who knew the ncedof money,
agreed, if a certain match could be arranged,
to run second in It providing he received a
specifio sum. andto take a dose in proof of the
bona fides of his intentions. This pugilist did
not Intend doing a crook; up to then bo had
been an iron man, and he depended on bis con
stitution (and a ruse) to pull bim through,
especially as the match would be, if be were in
anything like form, an absolute gift for him.
The dose was strong, as it bad to be taken the
day before the fight: our pug, the moment he
got it and the money witn it rusneu ont to tne
back and disgorged himself a la Hellogabalus.
He didn't shake off tbe effect of tbe drug com

for it: and, as it happened, the presumably win

It is a well-known fact that higher civili
zation it always attended by new and special
forms of disease. The eye is peculiarly sub
ject to ailments entailed by modern condi-""",v-
tions, and their
2S-
specific nature and
remedies have been
clearly defined by
oculists. It may be
mentioned inci
dentally that not
long ago attention
was drawn to the
fact that a new dis
ease of the eye,
peculiar to New
3Tork, was caused
by the fine par
ticles of iron disseminated through th air'
along the line of the elevated roads by the
friction and concussion of the trains. But
besides the more complex forms of disease
there are simpler and more primitive classes
for the cure of which lest elaborate treat
ment is usually resorted to.
"When any affection of the eye it depend
ent on the state of the surrounding tissues,
or a sluggishness in the circulation of the
eyeball, and not due to an organio defect of
the lens, or when the nerves of tbe eye are
affected by sympathy with the nervous tys
tem generally, various simple remedies are
brought into requisition. Among these are
fomentation, rubbing of the temples and
"dry cupping." Tbe last named treatment
is regarded as improving the oircnlation of
blood in and around tbe eye, and as restor
ing the convexity of the cornea, thus curing
longsightedness, shortsightedness, weakness
of sight, dimness of vision and other affec
tions of the eye.
For snch purposes various cups and India
rnbber bail appliances are often employed,
and a modification of this treatment is the
subject of tbe illustration now given, which
shows a new invention just patented in
England. The merit of snch devices as

tbe invention, it is but fair to regard tbe
claim of the inventor that he has devised an
improvement on the ivory cup and rubber
ball for cases where the regulation of the
suction and tension is of tbe utmost im
portance, and has rendered possible the
more effective placing of the cup attach

modification of appliances now used.
In using the instrument the mouthpiece
is placed In the mouth, and the outer open
edges of tbe hollow cups are placed air
tight over the eyes to be dry-cupped. Tbe
suction then caused through the flexible
tnbes by the drawing in of the breath will
cause a vacuum in the cups which will be
retained on the eyes, and the cornea of the
eye will be drawn to the proper convex or
spherical form or sensation of comfort, the
tongue meanwhile acting as a valve on tbe
end of tbe mouthpiece to maintain the ex
haustion of the air. The instrument is also
made with a single flexible tube and cap for
operating on one eye at a time.
Folding Vapor Bath. ;
trhe'ute: or baths or "airkinds'has been"
rapidly on the increase in this country of
late yean, and tbe Turkish bath is now
recognized at a necessity by thorough-going
disciples of hygiene. By such a recent in
vention will be gladly received. This in
vention consists of a flexible bath tub, that
can be rolled and folded up in a small pack
age, which can be easily stowed out of the
way. It is thus a handy article for persons
traveling or occupying rooms, and under all
conditions it provides a prompt means of
obtaining a Turkish, vapor or steam bath,
the heat being furnished either by an alcohol
lamp or a steamer. The cover of the bath is
conveniently arranged and a flap in the top
of it is left open until the person has entered
the bath, when it is buttoned like the rest of
the cover, a collar of soft cloth fastening
aronnd the neck so as to prevent the escape
of steam or hot air, while at the same time
allowing tbe person in the bath to move
about When a dry heat is required an
alcohol lamp is introduced within the bath,
and when steam is required it is provided by
the use of a suitably constructed steamer.
Should a douche be required after the bath
a waterproof cloth with the edges turned up
is used to catch the water.
Cola-Operated Bevertible-Seat Chair.
Among the thonsand and one applications
of the nickel-in-the-siot principle may be
mentioned a late invention, which may pos
sibly have a curious effect on the sales of
tiokets in theaters. The device Is a chair
having a revolving seat and a revolving
back, the respective position of both of
which can be immediately changed by coin
controlled locking mecbanism. Supposing
that a play is in progress, and the spectator,
with an eye to economy, is-"taklng it in"
from the gallery. The seat, probably, is
hard, and the back of the chair is straight,
and the pleasure seeker is longing for the
end ot the play, so that he can seek some
thing like comfort in his easy chair at home.
The dropping of the mickel now works
beneficently, for as tba mecbanism is actu
ated by its weight the under side of the seat.
which is softly cushioned, flies up and forms
a luxurious back, with a gentle and inviting
inclination.and a similarly cushioned seat is
provided for the grateful playgoer for the
rest of the evening. So that, in point of
lact, tne occupants oi a gallery seat can lor
an extra 6 cents enjoy more than the com
fort of those in the orchestra.
What Fog Means.
Prof. Beynolds recently gave a practical
illustration of the effect of fog in connection
with some new belting which had been
running for four hours at Owens College
during a heavy fog. The belting, which
was new and bright when started; was
found, when stopped, to be black and
loaded with dirt. It bad been running at
4,000 feet an hour. Prof. Beynolds pointed
out the resemblance to the dirtiness of an
express train, the phenomenon in both cases
being due to the fact that the rapidly mov
ing body comes in contact with a greater
quantity of air in a given time than a sta
tionary body, and, therefore, picks up a
greater quantity of atmospheric pollution.
A Small Flower Holder.
An invention which has been patented in
England, and which is being utilized exten
sively by ladies going to the Queen's drawing-rooms,
is a small posy holder. This de
vice is so constructed as to fasten on tbe
door-panel of the carriage and to slip into
a small socket attached to the woodwork
with screws. The slant of the bolder
throws the flowers forward, so that every
bud, fern frond or orchard spike is pro
tected from injnry. Tbe flowers areonnd to
keep much fresher when freed from contact
with a hot hand, and ladies who have en
dured the strain ot holding a boqnet for
hours in a tightly-gloved palm, will he Clad
to be relieved from such an ordeal. ,
Milking by Machinery,
A machine is said -to have been.'paunted
.!
in England whereby cows cad' he milked
SS

more promptly nod" eailly-tfian"
hand A number of cup are connected
with a general conducting tube, which con
veys tbe milk into a large vessel where the
suction is made. "It is claimed tbat tbe cows
'rather like the process than otherwise, and
that four or five of tbem can be disposed of
in as many minutes, the qnantity of milk
not being affected.
Importance of Breathing Properly.
In all the various systems of physical
oulture now in vogue, the greatest impor
tance is attached to taking the'breath prop
erly. The breathing should be slow and
deep, six breaths a minute being a safe aver
age. There is still a difference of opinion
in respect to tbe relative value of abdominal
and chest breathing, and each system has
its advantages. One of the best exercises
for increasing tbe oapaeity of the lungs it to
draw in a full breath slowly, and through
the nose. Keep the Innga inflated as long
as possible, and then expel the air suddenly
through the mouth, and repeat the process.
Care shonld be taken not to try to make tbe
period of holding the breath too long at tbe
start; the more gradually the power of doing
this is attained, the better will be the perma
nent results. There are many breathing ex
ercises, and one of tbe best is thetakingqia
deep breath and swinging the arms, first one
then the other, and finally both, while the
breath is inhaled. Excessive practice of any
system should be avojded, and the golden
rule of taking moderate and judicious exer
cise should be observed.
Prevention of Bust in Boilers.
Prof. Sniithells, in speaking before tbe
Leeds (England) Association of Engineers,
endeavored to answer the question "How
can the action of rusting be prevented?"
He said many things bad been tried. lion
might be painted, and by the adoption of
certain precautions an effective method
might be arrived at One precaution was
that the metal must be perfectly clean. A
spot of rust embedded below a coat of paint
would often break out of itself. There was
the method of covering the iron with oils
and tarry matters. There was also the pro
cess ot galvanizing tbe iron; the process of
enameling, which was useful for small
articles, although the enamel was liable to
chip off, and the Bower-Barff process,
which was admirable. Alluding to boilers
he said that by putting soia into betn, not
only was the acidity of the water corrected,
but something was Introduced which would
absorb the carbonio acid gas, and prevent
its acting in a rnsty capacity.
Kangaroo Versus Sheep.
A curious fact in connection with the
effect of the progress of civilization comes
from Australia. It appears tbat in the
older parts of that country the kangaroo is
practically exterminated. In Victoria the
kangaroos formerly outnumbered the sheep
in the proportion of two to one, and old
sbepherds state that it was not an uncom
mon thing to see the sheep and the kangaroo
feeding together npon the plains; as many
as 2,000 or 3,000 kangaroos frequently ac
companying a flock of 1,000 sheep. The re
duction' in the number of kangaroos has
materially affected the possibilities of profit
on sheep farms, as will be seen from the fact
that a "station" which, in 1850, could barely
graze 5,000 sheep, can now be made to cam
40,000 without any danger of being over
stocked. Combined Chair and Desk.
A combination chair and desk has been
designed for use in apartments where econ
omy of space is necessary. The back of the
chair constitutes the desk, which is held in
position by bolts passing through the rear
standards of tbe chair back. In this man
ner it is pivoted and can readily be turned
down. A pair of jointed braces pivoted to
the sides of the desk and to the inner sides
of the standards supports the desk at a
proper inclination. It is supplied with a
swinging ink well, pen trays and compart
ments for stamps and stationery. A large
drawer under the seat forms a receptacle for
boks and heavy stationery. "When not in
use as a desk, it is closed up, being held in
position by tnrn buttons.
Novel Flra Alarm.
An original mode of sonnding a fire alarm
is adopted in a town in Colorado. In that
region the revolver is considered an indis
pensable article of daily wear, and affords
the quickest means of announcing to the
rest of the community tbe impending dan
ger. "Whenover a fire is discovered a rapid
and promiscuous discharge of this firearm
spreads tbe news through tbe town. This
method, though crude, is found to work
fairly well. It bas, however, one drawback,
in that tbe fire department, as well as the
public, is often uncertain whether a fire or
a fight is in progress, and whatever the
truth may turn out to he, somebody it sure
to be disappointed.
A Cheap Vegetal Butter.
A pure and wholesome butter tubstitute,
especially for cooking purposes, is being
madejn Germany and Holland. It is what
its name implies, a fatty snbstance, which
resembles butter, hut contains no fat It
consists only ot combinations of vegetal oils
extracted from cocoanuts and other plants of
frnit which contain oil. Vegetal butter re
quires salt when used, as none is employed
in the process of ita manufacture. Its retail
price is 18 cents per pound.
The Eelgn of Steel.
A prominent technical journal says:
"How long will builders of cable railways
pile up huge blocks of solid brick for the
walls of their power houses? Can't tbey he
made to understand that steel and steel
alone is the only material which will render
their power plants a cheap, economical and
Indestructible shelter?"
BOHETHIHQ KEW UKDES TEE BUS.
Antique Civilizations Cannot Duplicate a
Cincinnati Invention.
Cincinnati Times-Star.:
It is often said that there is nothing new
under the sun. There are people who insist
that Csesar and Cicero knew of and used
the telegraph and the telephone and that
Shakespeare made a plaything of the phono
graph. There are others wbo declare that
tbe banging gardens of Babylon were illu
minated with electric lights, and that gas
was used in Noah's ark.
But it remained for a firm in the Arcade
to come to the front with something abso
lutely new. "Hot pop-corn fritfers" is their
specialty.

HE DICTATES ALL HIS 'WORK.
Last
Kald of Joe Wheeler, One of tbe
Greatest Cavalry Leaders.
GEN. WADE HAMPTON'S EMPTY BOAST
rcoBBiSFOXDzxcs or rax DISPATCH. 1
WABHiiraxoir, March 28. A sallow,
dark-faced little man who looked almost
sickly by his contrast with the burly states
man's wife who tat by his side, rode np
from the Capitol in one of the 6-cent ber
dics yesterday. The race of this man was
extremely sensitive. His eyes were dark
and fnll of soul. His jet black hair showed
out from under a derby hat, and he seemed
rather to shrink from notice.
As he got into the car he limped slightly,
and he sat there packed between . two big
women like a saudwieh until the car came
to the transfer station at tba corner of La
fayette Park. Here a crowd of women
rushed in. They saw that the herdio was
full, hut that made no difference, and young
and old, tbey stepped in and looked at the
men, inviting them with their eyes to give
tbem seats. A number of tbe men were
Congressmen. These sat still, but when a
gray-haired lady entered tbe berdic, this
little dark-faced man stood up and gave her
a seat
Ha Took Another Hordlc
The condition of his health, however,
evidently prevented his remaining stand
ing, and he quietly stepped from the herdic
and waited for another car, on which be
would have to pay an extra fare. This dark
faced man was Frank B. Stockton, the nov
elist. The gray-haired woman was twice as
strong as be was, and she entered the herdio
knowing some man would rise and give her
a seat.
Prank B. Stockton is doing some literary
work here. He-carries his work with him
wherever he goes, and be has some of the
most enrious literary methods of any of the
American authors. He plans his novel and
writes it out in his head, so to speak, before
he puts a word down on paper. He thinks
it out down to the conversation, includ
ing the commas, periods and exclamation
points, and when he bas the whole stpry
ready, and not till then, he dictates" it
After beginning his dictation he goes right
along from morning to morning until it is
completed. He dictates about 1,000 words
in a morning, and he walks up and down
the floor while dictating. He once-told me
that he could dictate better than he could
write, aud tbat the only writing he did was
his private letters. He sometimes dictates
tbe last chapters of a book before the first,
and be says he does not see how one can
write a novel without he has outlined it
beforehand. He does not revise his stories
to any great extent, and bis memory is a
most phenomenal one. He likes "Washing
ton well enough to come here nearly every
winter, but the most of bis work is done at
his home in Kew Jersey.
General Joe Wheeler's Last Bald.
The memoirs of Jefferson Davis by his
wife say but little about General Joe
"Wheeler's connection with the last days of
the Confederacy. General "Wheeler was tbe
greatest cavalry leader of the Sontb, and he
is as active now as he was when he followed
the fortunes of Jefferson Davis down into
Georgia. He is a short slim, nervous, wiry
little fellow of abont 125 pounds weight.
His black hair has become tinged with gray,
and white strands are creeping in his full
black beard. His heart is still young, how
ever, and though .he has made a lortune
since the war closed, as a planter, there is
nothing snobbish about him, and be is one
of the most popular Congressmen at "Wash
ington. He told me the other-day of his last
davs with Jefferson Davis.
'Isawhim," said he, "when he was still
President at Charlotte, N. C. He had Deen
driven away from Richmond, but he still
kept np his show of authority. He held his
Cabinet meetings, and among others wbo
were present at the time, were "Wade Hamp
ton, John C. Breckenridge, Beaeau and
myself. I knew the war was over and
wanted "Mr. Davis to flv. He did not seem
to think as I did and he held a Cabinet
meeting atwhich he told mehe had decided to
move my troops on to Cokesborough, K. C.
I then had eight brigades under me, but I
told Mr. Davis that my men thought tbe
war was over, and I thought it doubtful
whether I could hold them together. "Wade
Hampton was more sanguine, and he pomp
ously said, '"Well, General "Wheeler's troops
may not obey, but whatever I order mine to
do, they will do.'
The Soldiers Had Had Enough.
"This put me in rather a bad light, but I
doubted what Hampton said. Upon reach
ing my soldiers I fouud that they had all
disbanded, and the best I could do was to
get COO men wbo said tbty would tick to me
and the President. This COO were splendid
fellows, and I started with tbem toward
Cokesborough, but I soon received orders to
go toward Washington and Georgia. As I
went South I- slopped at Yorkville, where
Mrs. "Wade Hampton was, and called upon
ber. She told me that General Hampton
had just come in, ana a moment later he en
tered. Be was as tired and as sad a man as
I have ever seen. He had found that his
boast about bringing his soldiers with him
was an unfounded one. He had to start out
with a single company, but his men had all
dropped off before he got to-Yorkville, and
he had ridden 0 miles on a stretch in order
to get in.
"Well, from Xorkville I went Soutb.butl
received an order to disband my troops be
fore I reached Jefferson Davis: I had done
so and was lying-in the woods in company
with several of my soldiers when a company
of Federals discovered us. I had torn the
stars from my coat and they could not tell
my rank. I finally told them who I was,
and they said as I wanted to be with Jeffer
son Davis they wonld take me to him.
Thereupon they carried me to Augusta and
put me on a boat in company with Jefferson
Davis, Alexander H. Stephens, Clement C.
Clay and John H. Beagan. This boat took,
ns to Savannah, and from thence we were
carried to the Northern prison. I was sent
to Fort Delaware, but was released after a
time." Eeank q. Caepenter.
WIHDTHOESI'S LAST-SPEECH.
A Wonderful Effort On His Deathbed,
1 and
Similar Instances.
Many people bare no doubt read of the
enrious scene that took place at the death
bed of Malherbe, the great French poet,
who awoke from a swoon, heartily reproved
his nurse for using a word which he con
sidered bad French, and then died; also
that of Alonzo Cano, the Spanish painter
and sculptor, who, during his last hour. of
life, emphatically refused to kiss a crucifix
because it was badly made, and again that
incident recorded of the famous Bameau in
which the dying musician makes a last
rally to indignantly exclaim to his confessor,
who had wearied him with a long harangue:
"What on earth mates you come here and
ohant to me, Monsienr le Care? Ton have
a deuce of a bad yolce."
These were all remarkable events to take
place right at the gsteway of death, but
none ot. them surpasses tbe impressive scene
at the death-bed of tbe late German states
man Windthorst, wbo, miraculously recov
ering his strength and voice, made one of
the most eloquent speeches ever beard from
one who. .in his prime, was considered among
the leading orators of his time. v

THE
CHEAPEST
MAKING A BOOMESANd.
The Fecnllar Australian Weapon Can Be
Duplicated in Cardboard.
' Of all toy, says E. H. House, writing in
Harper's Young 'People, the boomerang is,
perhaps, the easiest to contrive. Old visit
ing or playing cards will serve as well as
anything. It may be as thin as von like, if
your boomerang is to be small; bnt for
larger sizes more solidity is required. Cnt
out pieces shaped like any ot the models
given and you have your fantastic
Australian weapon ready for use. You
need not be very exact as to the form,
nor is it requisite to trim the edges; but
you must see that the card is not bent and
wllllie flat on the table. For a beginning
No. 1 or No. 2 is the best kind. A boom
ersng with a sharp corner does its duty
more easily than one in which the curve is
gradual or the angle obtnse, as is No. 3 and
No. 4.
The way to make it skimls to lay it upon
a book, with one end projecting ever the
side. Hold the book up to a level with
your eyes, and give the outlying edge of the
card a smart rap with a small stick or a
lead pencil, taking care not to strike the flat
top, but only the side of the boomerang
near the end. Yon can guide the stick or
pencil by sliding it along the rim oi the
book as you strike. The missile will shoot
forward five or six feet, and will then rise a
little, turn In its course and sail back to a
place near that from whlch.it was sent spin
ning. .But tbe best way to become a good
boomerang thrower is to practice throwing
it and skill will soon come.
