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

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

HUBER KNOCKED OUT.
Disastrous Results ol His Nlnc
Itound Bout with John Becker.
Reading, Sept. 7. 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. These prlees talk

lawyers for tho other Bids wouldn't
give us a flash at tho face. 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

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."
Tho photo was taken and tho sitter said:
"But about that little invitation?"
"Oh, sir, that Is Just a trade ruse of
mlno to give a natural and Interested ex
pression to the face." Tit-Bits.
