At the Fleet wood park races today the attendance was fair. Tho race of the day was the 2.24 class, and the favorlto had a close squeeze for the money, deorgena led off In the first heat, and though the faNorlte made u strong play to the half she could not catch leader, and a break at the half settled her chances for the heat. Georgena won handily by a length. In the second heat Geor gena led to tho half Emily breaking bndly, but quickly settling, though a distance out, sho came up the hill like a streak nnd In a lightning drive down the home stretch got to tho wire by a length, with Quarter Staff second. The third heat went to Georgena as Emily again broke. Tho fourth heat was sen sational, eta Georgena led from the start to the stretch, where- Emily and Quarter Staff came up on almost even terms, and they shot under the wire only noses apart. Georgena nppeored to have a head the bettor of It, but the Judges saw Emely first, and the heat went to her. She won the next heat with case. Summary: 3.00 claps, purse, $1,000.

Harry Huber Is at the Reading hospital In a badly batter ed condition as the result of a nine round go with Jack Becker, of Brook lyn, at tho North End Athletic club's entertainment at "VVoodvale park last night. Huber was knocked out com pletely, being carried to his hotel in an unconscious condition. He was subsequently removed to the Reading hospital, where the doctors worked with him all night, but failed to arouse him. His condition Is serious. His shoulder is split open. His nose is broken and his face horribly cut. ANOTHER ABOUT HURST. Had n Grcnt Method of Disciplining Kickers on tho Field. Tim Hurst, the league umpire, sel dom fines ball plnyers for kicking over his decisions. He either puts them out of the game or treats them to a verbal roast, which In most cases Is effective. He Is fearless, and that, perhaps, is why he has trouble now and then. Hurst was umpiring in Baltimore a couple of years ago, and the champions were having a rather hard time to win. Several of Hurst's rulllngs had been in favor of the visitors, and the Orioles had kicked like mules. Finally Jenn nlngs rushed In from short field and yelled: "Say, you thick Slick, what do you mean by robbing us?" Hurst pulled oft his mask and, taking hold of Jennings, said cooly: "A little bit swelled up, eh, Mr. Freckle-Face? Made a couple of good stops, eh? Getting a bit chesty, eh. because the ladles n the grand stand nre giving you the hand? You want to make a monkey of me, eh? Well, get out of the game! See?" Joe Kelly, the left fielder, chimed in with some adverse comments, and Hurst turned upon him quickly with: "So, Mr. Fresh, you want to talk, because you are captain since Robin son Is sick, eh7 Think you're tho whole thing and that the crowd Is stuck eh? Well, you get out of the game, too." "See here, you monkey," yelled Me Graw, "you can't be putting the whole team out." "It's you, Is it?" responded Hurst with a laugh, "and your head ain't any smaller than last year, eh? Get out, and be quick You're effective on the bench! Now, If the rest of you guys don't stop chewing at me I'll put tho whole gang out of the game." Jennings, Kelley and McGraw, there fore, had to take their places on the bench. CONVICT'S HOUSE DESTROYED. Neighbors' Infective Plan to Get Hid ol Him. Lancaster, Sept. 7. Lewis Kirk, col ored, of Conestoga Centre, was sen tenced bv the court last week to two years in the penitentiary for attempt ing to kill Edward Peco, the trouble originating over a boundary line. There was strong feeling In the com. munlty against Kirk. Last night his dwelling house was set on fire and completely destroyed with Its contents. The general belief In tho neighborhood Is that the house was burned to rid the community of Kirk for all time. STABBED BY HIS FRIEND. Serious Result Mnv Follow n Playful Action. Oil City, Sept. 7. George Durner, a young barber, and two friends, were standing on tho street this afternoon engaged in conversation. Durner had a paper knife In his hands and one ot his friends in a Joking manner took tho knlfo nnd struck Durner on the chest. Durner felt a stinging sensation In his chest and upon examination by a doctor, a three-Inch cut was found Just above the heart. Tho wound Is In a vital spot and may provo serious. AN INTERESTING PARLOR PASTIME How (0 Practice One Form ot Alleged Clairvoyance. IT IS SIMPLE WHEN YOU KNOW HOW All You lluvo to Do Is to Lmploy n Confederate In tho Audience and 'l'h en Humbug tlio Other Spectators by a Llttlo l'rotenso of Occult Powers. Writing in Popular Science News of alleged occult feats, Judgo Bartlett says: A trick somewhat similar to that called mind reading Is clairvoy ance. It may be performed as follows, although In published explanations of it the modus operandi is much more dlfllcult and complicated. The spectators seat themselves in one part of the room, and facing them, at some distance, tho performers; slips of paper are distributed, upon which each of tho party writes a sentence. The sentences when written are col lected by an assistant, who Is, In fact, a confederate of tho performer. Tak ing one of the slips and standing be hind the latter and pressing It against the performer's forehead the assistant asks to have It read. After hesitating n little, to give due effect to the situation, the person sit ting in the chair reads what is written, for Instance, "Is this clairvoyance?" another slip Is then selected, but be fore this is done, that already read Is given to the performer, who, looking at It, again reads It aloud, repeating what has Just before been read, and tosses the paper aside. The same thing Is done with a second and a third slip and with nil others; In fact, through the whole series. The truth of the matter Is that this sentence, which Is not at nil the one that Is really writ ten on the slip the performer has pre tended to read, was written by the assistant and was agreed upon before hand. The real sentence, let us say, It Is, "I write so badly you cannot, in nny case, read this," Is read by the performer when professedly reading the former sentence the second time. So this latter sentence, being noted and remembered, Is given as the con tents of the second slip, and so on throughout. In the published Instructions for this trick the performer Is blindfolded In such a manner that "she" can "get a sly downward peep" at the slips on a table before her, but this Is entirely unnecessary and greatly Increases tho chances of failure. EASILY FOOLED. The spectators never seem to think It at all odd or a suspicious circum stance, that the slips having been read clairvoyantlyV, the performer should verify the correctness of his second sight by reading them again with his natural eyesight. The performer, in deciphering the slips held in contact with his fore head, should not read tbem too glibly. If some words are slowly and with great appearance of effort, spelled out, letter by letter, it aids the illusion. The handwriting may, In cases where It Is a little hurriedly or carelessly written, be laughingly criticised, though care should be used to hurt no one's feelings. At times, too, the assistant can make passes over tho forehead of the operator to "renew the magnetic current." Indeed it Is a very good plan for the assistant to begin by pretending to mesmerize the performer. The trick may be varied by using a pack of cards, which any one or number of the audience are tho cards In their correct order as they are pressed against his forehead. In this, as In the previous case, however, due care must be exercised to keep the audience in their places at a con siderable distance from the performer. There are few tricks so simple as this which are so absolutely deceptive to persons unaccustomed to such perfor mances. TIM HURST AND THE JUDQE. Pugnacious Umpire Found a Friond in a St. Louis Court. Timothy Queensberry Hurst's sug ary dialect entertained the Senators on the train from Jersey City last Thurs day. Tim was en route for Baltimore to umpire the Cleveland-Oriole series. "I read In the papers that Tom Lynch and Jack Doyle were boxing over In Boston, and that Jack pushed his skull into Tom's dial," said Tim. "Now Jack's skull would bluff a sledge, and It's a wonder that Tom's face didn't kiss good-by to his good looks. But Tom told me that the little telescoping match with Jack's coco only left a shade of crape on his lamp. "Tom was telling me about the bout In New York yesterday, and I says to Tom. says I: 'Tom, why did Jack use his skull on your face. There must be something the matter with his hands.' I tell yer, sports, if this box ing keeps up In base ball It will be a case of finish bouts after awhile, and umpires will have to go in training like the pugB. Yes, they had me on the fork, and turned the fire on me out there In Cincinnati, and that fireman I soaked In the face with a soda-pop bottle was hustling around for sym pathy and a damage suit against the league. "I'll acknowledge that I did give him a good stiff push In the map with that bottle, but he made It too strong. Why, you couldn't see his face when he came Into court. I asked the clerk of the court If the fireman was a walking ad vertisement for a remnant sale. My lawyers moved that tho dent made by the bottle be shown the court, but the IB Jurlsch's Is the place.

They sent a detective over to St. Louis after me, but I ran up against a streak of good luck in Judge Murphy, of the Mound City. "The Judgo is a whole deck of aces, a very warm number, and they toll me In St. Louis ho Is the slickest bench warmer on tho Missouri bench. The Judgo Is read up on the pugs and tho ball tossers, and we had a chat about the ring and bae ball. A few days before I extinguished that fireman I umpired a. ten-lnnlng game In St. Louis, and there were no close decisions. The Browns won and the Judge was smit ten with my umpiring. Wo had a talk about the game. Yes, I knew he was with me. I found out that he was one of those very smooth members who wouldn't boom the circulation of tho green tissue nor go against the brick that's supposed to be Klondike. That's why he protected me from the Cincin nati legal push that was after my scalp." Quur.u cYciii: rou tourists. Tho Omega Is n Now Mnclilno In vented by 11 Cnliforninn. From tho San Francisco Call. William de Witt, of Santa Barbara, a woodcarver and Inventor, has stud led up and put together a wheel which he holds Is an Improvement on any of the cycle family yet turned out to skim the road. As he has not yet pat ented his machine he refrains from making public the details of his inven tion, but states that with a model which he has constructed ho can ut taln greater speed nt less outlay of propulsion power with It than with an ordinary bicycle. The Omega, as ho calls It, has two large wheels of any diameter chosen running side by Bide, about two feet arart, with a small steering wheel behind It. By a peculiar device, net yet made known, the rear wheel alio acts as a brake, which can be oaer ated by a slight change of position on the part of .the rider. One of the largest wheels revolves on ball-bearings, like the bicycle, and its mate revolves with its axle, con sequently power need only be applied to one wheel, the Inventor claiming that by this contrivance the force ne cessary to drive the machine may bo fessened about one-half. This cycle may be built for one or two cersons and the great wheels may be of any diameter, from three to six feet of desired. Any amount of luggage may bs load ed on the machine, making it conven ient for tourists, hunters, or any per sons desiring to carry a complete camping outfit with them. Mr. de Witt claims that the "Omega" will cover by easy work one mile with 150 power motions, or about 'twenty miles an hour on a good country road. If necessary for a burst of speed or climbing a hill, both riders can drive the machine, one by hand and the other by foot power. It can be brought to a standstill on any grade and, being somewhat like a trl-cycle, stands upright when sta tionary. A Catching Invltntion. "Will you take something to drink?" "With pleasure."
