SPEAKER REED.
THOMAS B. REED, OF MAINE, the prescnt Speaker of the House of Representatives, by the character of
his Parliamentary rulings has emphatically called public attention to the importance of the position he holds.
No individual-not even the President himself-exerts so powerful an influence on national legislation as the
Speaker of the House. Even the members of the opposite party who claim that Speaker Reed's rulin~ h~ve
been arbitrary and unfair will admit that he has done a public service in pointing out a weak spot in our It'glslatlve
system,

CARMEi\CITA.
No dancer since the days of Fannie Ellsler has attracted so
mudt attention in America as has Carmencita, (he
Spanish dancer. She came to America two years ago, but not
much waf, heard of her until last autumn, when New York
society took her up, and since then the concert hall where she
performs has been crowded nightly. It has also become the
craze for wealthy people to have her at their houses, paying
her a large fee to come and dance for the amusement of their
friends. Carmencita is about twenty-one years old, speaks
nothing but Spanish, can neither read nor write, and yet man­ages
to receive an income considerably greater than that of a
good many c~llcge presidents.
TIlE HANGING ROCKS.
THIS eccentricity of nature is one of the most interesting
features of picturesque Newport. The grotto formed
by the immense over-hanging rock was it favorite resting­place
of Dean Berkeley, and it was here, gazing au t over
the expanse of Narragansett Bay, that he wrote the famous
prophecy:
II \Vestward the course of Empire takes its way,
The four first acts already past;
'A fifth shall end the drama with the day,
Time's noblest offspring is the last. "
'Jllck, dtllr, iii) you re1llclllbc1' what YOtt lold TIlt a year ago about ils

We are the first house in Cleveland to
place on sale and deliver complete THE
ENCYCLOPJEDIA BRITANNICA at a
popular price. This great work is so well
known that it is unnecessary for us to men­tion
its many merits and superiorities over
all other works of its kind.
The edition we place on sale this morning
is from one of the largest publishing houses
in this country, and is carefully put together
in every respect.
OUR PRICE IS $38.00 A SET.
We believe it to be $15 better in value
than the subscriptiQn edition, which is its
only competitor. It will be a pleasure for
us to offer it in comparison to all who may
be interested. We know this edition will
recommend itself to our customers.
We believe a direct purchase is the only
satisfactory purchase.
A work of this kind is nearly worthless
until complete. In fact the Index Volume,
25, the very last of the edition, is in may
ways the most important one.
Why wait weary months on the uncer.
tainties of an unpublished work? Is it not
business to buy the complete instead of the
incom plete ?

A certain party, in this city, has a picture of Marian Manola,
nee Stevens, in that airy costume which she avers is so dil.tastqiul
to her. It represents her as she appears in Boccacd6'i'H(g~t ~~d
unconventional outfit, with nothing especially. remarkA~le icon­nected
with it. Notw'ithstanding this, the pictu're is 'eagerly bor­rowed
and carefully scrutinized, the borrower usually handi~g it
back with the announcement that he doesn't see anything startling
about the trim and slender d~velopment of the pretty singer.
Displayed in a shop window, it would only attract passing com·
ment; hidden in a vest pocket, everybody wants to see it. Such
is human nature, and such the effect of advertising.

The rumor comes to me that a talented young Clevelander talks
of purchasing Mr. E. C. Beach's comic opera, "The Maid of
Seville." The purchaser purposes appearing in it himself.
By the way, if anybody wants a highly entertaining episode for
a comic opera plot, let him introduce the present spat in the
homeopathic deanery.
Local pride is now fairly aroused. I am told that a Prospect
street citizen was seen running down· town yesterday, and when
somebody asked him what had happened, he gasped" Twins !"
"Are you running (or the ooctor?" said the other man. "No,

For a pair of pictures of judicious physical development com·
mend me to Mr. Charles Sheffield and Mr. Harvey Brown. Tall,
stalwart, well-groomed, good color, clear eyes-by these eloquent
signs ye shall know them. Both gentlemen have been fond of
manly sports from their youth up. Mr. Brown is never so happy
as with a gun and a game bag. Mr. Sheffield is an old ball player,
and when he filled left field in the Forest Citys made the eyes of
the youthful spectators bulge with delightful astonishment by his
tremendous long throws.
This is a rather clever thing which I heard at a recent lawn
{~te :
She-" There comes that Mrs. Blancqe. The insufferable old
bore goes everywhere."
He-" If you dislike her so why do you bow to her?"

THE LOUNGER.

Editor Hyre, of the Cuyahoga", with his hat off, is frequently
taken for Bill Nye. Not long ago he was waiting for a train in a
small Ohio village and as it was warm he removed his hat. He
noticed that the loungers stared at him with great curiosity and
that there was a good deal of nudging and winking among them.
Presently a gaunt ruralist approached him and said, "'Scuse me,
but how's old Riley?"
Editor Hyre thought the ruralist referred in this expressive way
to the muddy condition of Lake Erie, and so he answered:
"Terrible, sir, worse than ever."
"Sho," said the stranger, "that's too bad. Drinkin'!l good
deal, eh?"
" No, sir," said Mr. Hyre, "not a drop. It isn't safe, you
know. Full of bacteria and bacilli and all that sort of thing."
The stranger looked both sad and mystified.
"I s'pose tllem's the last stages," he mournfully muttered as he
walked away.
Edit~r Hyre pondered over those words half way to Cleveland
b~fore it flashed upon him that the rural stranger referred to Nye's
old lecture partner, the brilliant but unfortunate Riley.

I KNOW that the popular supposi-tion
regarding the children of
the affluent is that they are in a meas­ure
neglected; that the society moth·
er and the busy father have but little
time for the nursery. Very likely
this is true in many cases, but there
are also many delightful exceptions.
One of the latter came
. under my observation not
_ ~' long ago. At one of the
ball games at League park
recently I saw Mr. George
Stockly with a charming
bevy of pretty children,
whom he was initiating into
the game's mysteries. Then
only a few nights ago as I passed his Avenue home I saw him out
on the lawn merrily playing ball with the little ones. His earnest­ness
as he tossed and caught the ball, and the wild cries of delight
from his tiny playmales....showed what an all·around pleasure it
was. By the way, Mr. Stockly was a very bright local ornament
to the diamond twenty-five years ago, when he filled the box for
the ever·to-b~-rem·e·mberedoriginal Forest Citys.
It is really too bad that some people can never learn that anony­mous
contributions are food for the waste basket.. I am in receipt

confess that in my humble opinion there is a marked c'ifference in
the style of game as plliyed by the League and Brotherhood. In
my opinion the difference is in favor of the League. If anyb~dy
likes a great deal of noise and a loose, uncertain way 01 guardll1g
against run.making by opposing teams, I suppose that the Broth·
erhood would suit him to a dot. But I don't like that. I like to see
games with an element of closeness in them. Unfortunately, those
that I saw at the Brotherhood were awfully one-sided, and some of my
friends who have gone there have made the same complaint. They
say that a club is often likely to make six or seven runs in an inning,
and of course that knocks out all the fun in the thing if it happens
to be the visiting club. The League plays some un balanced games,
but the majority are so close that they keep you guessing from start
to finish. I occasionally went out to see the Cleveland club play
when it was a member of the American Association. I didn't like
the Association style of ball or I might have gone more than I did.
The Association game and the Brotherhood game are very much
alike.

The New York Brotherhood and Boston League Clubs have
been stopping at the same hotel this week, but they aren't so
friendly as the Bo!>ton Brotherhood and Brooklyn League men.
One of the attaches of the hotel told me that 0' Day came down to
breaklast cine morning, and was ushered to a table where Nichols
of the Boston Club was sitting. O'D.lY shook his head, and
refused to sit down, Then the waiter drew out a chair at a table
where Long of the Bostons chanced to be sitting. Again O'Day
refused to be seated. Finally, the New York man went off one
side to a small table where there was room f&r only two. The
head waiter went to him, and much to the gratification of every
person in the dining.room who had witnessed the occurrence, gave
him a dressing down that he will remember. Now, who is this
O'Day? A noble, high.minded man, a man of lofty principle and
massive intellect? Excuse me if I don't answer until my next.
•*'*
The New York Brotherhood players have a great deal to say
about John Clarkson, but John seems to prosper. Mentally and
socially he is the equal of any man who ever played base ball, and,
to tell the truth,I guess the superior of four-fifths of the professional
players. I know one thing, that the little I have seen of profes­sional
ball players in public places, John Clarkson was always a
perfect gentleman. And truth compels me to state that you can't
say that for some of the others.

If on this day when the eagle is let loose, it should chance to
rain, the probabilities are that I can write you an obituary or two
in about three weeks. I can hear the death song being sung now.
l/! • • A loafer, in the American definition of the modern age, is a
blackleg, a rowdy, one guilty of ungentlemanly acts, a mean, low.
down fellow, a person unfitted for association with decent p~ople.
McGarr, of the Boston League Club, is a loafer.
FROM a careful persual of
the daily papers I be­gin
to believe we are to have
another sensational era in base ball.
The Ewings, the Days, the O'Shaugh.
nessys and the Fogartys are talking
again, and I guess that all my fellow
cranks know what that means. The
real truth is that base ball in its pres­ent
state is a grand, glorious fizzle. The
public is sick and tired of it. It has had a
surfeit, and I assure you as a memher of
the free and unpartisan public, that it knows when it has had
enough. It is no hog. It doesn't ask (or $25 worth of ball play.
ing (or fifty cents on the principle of the players, who demand
$3,000 (or $500 of work. When the ball players of the U~ited
States virtually went on strike because they could not acquire a
li(e fortune sooner than ten years, it was the last straw that broke
this big and generous public's back. How many of my readers
would be willing, yes, glad, to do the little required of a ball
player and receive the salary that he gets for it. It's a farce, a
travesty upon honest American labor, and I, for one, am glad that
the inflated bubble shows strong indications of bursting. All is
not serene in the base ball world. Both organizations are ham­pered
by trouble. The way of the Brotherhood has not been a
path of roses. Instead of making fortunes the clubs have been
scarcely able, as I understand it, to make expenses. Where is
that famous amount of prize money coming from? Has somebody
got to be assessed again? Can some 'of the clubs stand many
more assessments? I know three that can't. I won't say how I
know, because my information came through too direct a channel
to wish me to bring my informant prominently before the public.
He doesn't desire notoriety, and I don't want to give it to him, be­cause
he may tell some other tales out of school that will be inter­esting.
The worst of it for my base ball friends is that the dullest
part of the year is yet to come. After the Fourth of July business
drops. The half dollars don't clink so merrily in the cash box,
and the turnstile needs greasing every day to keep it from getting
rusty. If the crowds have averaged 600 up to this time they are
not likely to average 300 in the future. Last year it was all that
the lesser lights in the base ball galaxy could do to make expenses
after the Fourth. This year it will be all that they can do to keep
alive. When the players represented to genial Al Johnson what
a fortune laid before him I wonder, for one, that he did not look
ahead farther into the business future of the thing. I am willing
to go on r;rord with my little knowledge of the business picked
up from the newspapers and incidental gossip about the city, and
make the prediction that no matter who finally wins in the fight,
base ball has received a blow that it will take years to overcome.
You can't hocus· pocus this American people of ours forever.
•*• Last week I went to some Brotherhood games with a determina-tion
to discover if any difference existed between the playing of the
game by the two organizations. Now I don't profess to be a
"right down, regular hase ball critic." I leave that to my friends
on the daily newspapers who can play the game tolerably well in
theory, if not in actual practice. But I have my likes and dislikes
and my ideas as to what constitutes a good game. I am free to

ID you try to get away from the glor­ious
Fourth, peaceful reader? And
did your attempt prove to be-an all·
around failure? The riotous day is
about as hard to escape from as an un·
easy conscience. And why shouldn't
it be? What was the use of those
J
dear old signers going to all that trou-ble
if the hoys can't declare independ.
ence once a year, and make all the racket they want to-burn their
clothes-blow their faces full of powder-and scare their mothers
into fits of nervous prostratlO.l?
We expect to drive out in the country and spend the day with
friends. Mother thinks it will be so quiet and restful away from
the city.. But I have livelier anticipations. We may get there
safely if tht horses are not frightened to destruction on the way,
but there are four children where we visit! Oi CO'lrse the nei1h·
bors and their children will be invited in, and the young folks will
doubtless devote the day to making it pleasant for us, in a patriotic
way. I imagine the tribe of them congregated on the lawn with
pistols, p Jwder and toy cannon, while mother sits on the porch,
rocking, knitting and trying to hear herself talk over old times!
1 don't mind it, myself, if I can only contribute to the racket, so I
shall surreptitiously convey the youngsters some cannon crackers,
and experiment with a few "squibs." It's the greatest possible
renewer of youth to try to fire a squib. Sometimes they kick, you
know-:md I believe it would make a paralytic dance if he received
the discharge in the palm of his h:md.

The reading room at the Public Library is a delightfully cool
place in which to spend a pleasant and profitable summer after­noon.
An artist friend of mine told me of a new work of art which
I //lust see, so I went in the other day and .:alled for it. But" the
proper study of mankind" is infinitely mor,' interesting than books,
011 a drowsy, warm afternoon, so I found m. self watching my com·
panions instead of studying the works of the modern school of
Freflch painters. There were a score, at "ast, of the searchers
after knowledge, and more constantly going .nd coming.
A bushy.haired, Socialistic-looking foreigner was frowning over
a German paper; a mild, ministeral man took notes from a big
book near by, possibly as an aid in the construction of next Sun­day's
sermon; and opposite me sat a spectacled lady, presumably
blue·stocking, who made little jottings from a file of old papers.
A plain, rural-appearing woman studied a fashion magazine,
three soiled and tattered urchins were pouring over a bound vol·
ume of picture papers and a couple of medical students hurried in
to consult a big scientific work. probably to settle an argument.
There were other types present, but not even my confi.:Jence in my
ability to read character kept me from becoming drowsy over the
" proper stlldy." It is such a quiet place-no talking is allowe1­and
the girls who were bending over Pwzch, showed their
appreciation of its humor by almost inaudible sniffs and giggles.
I was rather shocked when the sailor hat of one of the gentle
gigglers bobbed up just long enough for its wearer to dart a glance
and smile at a youth across the room who was apparently engaged
in the study of a weighty scientific volume. But the responsive
cough of the scientific young man proved that he was not
so abiorbed as he seemed. Then I was righteously indignant. It
seemed a perfect shame that these young people should neglect
their chances for improving their minds, and spend' most of their
time in the frivolous occupation of" catching on," as they call it.
Then I suddenly remembered that I hadn't spent a very literary
hour myself, criticising my neighbors instead of improvillg the
opportunity for study. So I asked the pleasant.faced young lady
in charge for a magazine and read a thrilling love story. By the
time it was finished the sailor hat had gone. So had the scientific
young man.

I found Madge Spooner the other day engaged in covering
cushions and sofa pillows. She had taken them from the parlors
and was putting wash covers on them three of a~ning·c1oth, one of
turkey red and two, flowered chintz. " That is to keep them nice
while you're away, I presume?" I gently hinted. "Ob, no,"
answered Madge, "I'm preparing the cushions for porch use.
I'm going to stay home and take comfort. Two of these are for
the hammock and the others may be used on the chairs, divan or
steps. I expect to live on the piazza this Summer, and believe in
making myself comfortable. We intend to have one of those new
carpets especially meant for porches. They look just like velvet
-but they're not. I have a portaQle stan:! that can be brought
out here, with my little tea service if I like, and with the Japanese
screen we shall be real nice and cosy." This sounded charming,
and the idea of the cushions was really brilliant, but I burst out
into loud inquiry as to why Madge should stay at home for the
Summer, when I knew she could go away just as well as not.
Then I recollected that Madge is engaged. And her jiancte lives
here in town. He will probably not be able to take a vacation
and the faithful girl will not desert him! D~ar me, if I were ever
and ever so much engaged, I'm afraid I couldn't resit the temp­tation
of going when I got a chance.
•*• A young couple of this city were recently married, after an
engagement of two years' standing. There is nothing so remark­able
about that, but when some of the friends present at the cerp.­mony
discovered that the bridegroom had got out his marriage
license two years before, and had been carrying it about with him
all that time, .there was considerable surprise. The young man was
a foreigner, ~nd not being acquainted with the customs of this
country (nor the fickleness of American demoiselles) had procured
his license on the day following his betrothal. He evidently did
not agree with the immortal William about" the course of true
love," or perhaps expected his affaire de com" to be :l notable
exception to the rule. Fortunately, the latter proved to be the
case, and the important paper, so promptly provided, came in
handy, after all. .....
A gentlenlln asked me, the other day, why it is that women
always gaze into tailors' windows as they pass j what could be
the fascination fOf them in the rows of suitings, the hats, caps and
umbrellas on display? I had only to bethink ,me for a moment
before solving this poser. The windows where men's furnishing
goods are shown are always so clean and bright, and the dark
ap'pare1 forms such an excellent background that these panes make
the nearest approach to a mirror that one can find while on the
street. And so we look in them not to study manly fashions, but
simply to se.e ourselves-to notice how our dresses hang or our
bonnets set. Bank windows with their high polish and neutral
backgrounds are also good reflectors, but dry goods, millinery or
jewelry windows are almost useless in this direction, on accoun t
of the brilliant articles within. Consequently, as a woman natur.
ally wants to look well on the street, she seizes ,the only mirror at
command, and glances into the unattractive windows more fre­quently
than at the new hats and dress patterns. Just watch the
next woman you notice looking towards a bank or tailor's wind"w,
and see if she doesn't follow up the glance with a twitch 0 her
drapery, a straightening of the shoulders, or a drawing of the
handkerchief to wipe away an in trusive SLot flake.

PICKED UP.
I heard a story, the other day, that is to good to ?e lost. It was
on Decoration day, when the Gatling Gun battery was marching
back to its armory, and the band, having exhausted its stock of
operatic airs, fell back on popular music. Sudde~iy a trooper
galloped up, and requested the battery to take the other side of the
road, to let the President pass. The battery accordingly obliqued
to the left, and the cavalry escort came up, followed by the Presi­dent.
The band had been disporting itself with "Annie Rooney"
and "Down went McGinty," but at the moment the President
passed, the air of "Where did you get that hat," broke out in all
its fierceness, and the painfully appropriate tune was not lost upon
Mr. Harrison, who flushed and grew restive under the musical
reproach, unintentional though it was..
Some little East End boys were playing ball out there recently,
when a foul tip took one of them under the eye. The other boys
hurried him home and deLvered him to his mamma. I'll tell you
how to stop it from swellin'," said one little fellow in breathless
sympathy, "put wet cloths on it; that's what my papa does when
he's got a swell head!"

When first I heard her voice I was entranced,
And gladness fined me when my way she glanced,
Whil&t through my veins ecstatic pulses danced.

And oft I wonder 110W I e'er was charmed;
I even flee, for fear I may be harmed.

then we can see.
HE (submitting): Very. well-there you are-now. (Prepares to
play).
SHE: Is this going to be a "draw shot?"
HE: Yes-the ball comes back to the cushion and touches the red
as I explained to you.
SH E: Oh, "vait! Do yOll call it English when you hit low down
with the stick?
HE: No, no. 'English' means any point from the center t.
either side.
SHE: Well, why do you English?
HE (feebly): Oh, I don't know. It's in the game.
SHE (satisfied): Isn't it niee ? I shall like. billiards better than

Chautauqua Lake.
Take the Nickel Plate to this popular and famous
resort, a lake of crystal water, hlgn up among the
hills of New York, whose sandy shores and wooded
promontories present one continuous panoramic
scene of unrivalled beauty ,and grandeur; where
bathing is unexcelled and boating and fishing are an
unbounded success.
The well-known popularity of Chautauqua Lake,
its acknowledged ple-eminence,is sufficient to induce
all who can arrange to do so, to spend some portion
of this season along its shady retreats and enJoy the
healthful atmosphere of this altitude of between
1,400 and 1,500 feet above sea level.
No other Summtr Hesort has enjoyed such dis­tinction,
and this season's programme promises to
be the most successful ever arranged and bids fair
to eclipse all previous efforts.
The history of the famous resort is fan iliar to all,
and the influence of the non-sectarian religious and
educational societies is being felt from ocean to
ocean.
Elegant hotel accommodations at moderate rates
as well as board in private families, can be procured
at rates to suit everyone, The special arr'lnge­ments
made by the Nickel Plate with its sure con­nections
at Brocton Junction, going and returning,
will enable Niagara F'alls excurl;ionists to also viSit
this world-renowned place without additional ex­pense.

The 'TALE OF A CENTUR K
JUST -a ~undr~d.years ago. Pears' Soap began in
London Its mIssIon of c1eanhness. T o·day its use is
universal. and more people than ever before acknow­ledge
its superiority-a sure evidence that its mission
has .been successful. For one hundred years it has
maintai!1fd its supremacy in the face of the 'whole world's
competttton. Such a record could not be achieved with­out
cause. Te'?Eorary successes .are. c?mp~ratively easy.
but for an article to go on mamtalrung ItS popularity
throug~ generation after generation. it must 'appeal to
somethmg more than pasSIng fancy. This is the case
with Pears' Soap. It is, and always has been, an honest
woman who travels and fails to take, as she would
her tooth-brus!l. or hair brush, a supply of Pears'
Soap must put up with cheap substitutes until her
burning, smarting skin demands. the' matchless for
the complexion." Even children know the differ­ence.
So long as fair. white hands. a bright. clear
complexion, and q soft. he~lthful skin continue to
add ,to brauty and attractiveness, so long wtl!

A STUDY IN EVOLUTION.
I IIELD her slender foot in mine,
As we sat and nibbled our cocoanuts;
The weather was clear and the d:ly W:lS tlne,
And the ground was all covered with broken nuts.
I was a chunky, lunky manker,
Sing hi! for the days of old,
"Vhen the palm grew free
Bya southern sea,
And a monkey was seldolll sold.
I wound my tail around her brow,
And tickled the delicate chin of her;
Her shiny eyes-I see them now-
How they gleamed o'er the chuckle and grin of her.
She was a hunky, chunky monkey,
Sing hi ! for the days of eld,
When under the palm
I c:lred not a d:llm-
If th:1I is the way it's spelled.
And I said, II l\ly poppet, my winsome fere,
Oh, how is that crick in the back of you?
You look as your gr:lI1dam Pithec:l, my dear;
If you croak I shan't die for the lack of you."
She was a spunky, hunky monkey,
Sing hi ! for the days gone by,
When a monkey girl
Could her tail unfurl,
And knocks out her loved one's eye.
:30 now I have only one eye, you see,
And th:lt's where I wear this monocle;
'Tis uecause th:lt day, 'neath the palm, dear me!
I became so infernal ironical,
I'm a chunky, lunky, flunky monkey,
Sing hi! for the days of old,
When the palm grew free
By the side of the sea,
And one monkey he maJc too bold. Caught b)" Ihl! tidl! and a camera.

THE LOUNGER.
I RECENTLY heard of a painful
aRair that draws out all my re­sources
of sympathy. It seems that
a pretty girl, a girl whose charms of
face are handsomely backed up by a
parental pocket.book and a gilt-edgerl
~lfl; family name, has had two admirers-
0-, has them now for aught I know.
These admirers were so
evenly balanced in the
~~~~.~.~~ fair maiden's affection that ~ there wasn't a hair's breadth
of choice between them.
One fatal day, in the morn·
ing, admirer number one
offered his heart and hand.
It was promptly accepted.
Number one went his way chock-full of happines~. In the after·
noqn admirer number two put in his appearance. Another pro­posal
promptly followed, and so did another acceptance. You see
that when one charmer was out of sight there was RO resisting
t'other one. Next day the two accepted ones, all unconscious of
each other's good fortune, met together at dinner. At one and the
same, time they told the story of their new·found happiness. Then
there was a scene. The morning knight insisted that he had pre­empted
the claim, while the arternoon cavalier stoutly asserted that
his luck was the result of a sober second thought. They didn't
quarrel over it, fonunately, but went together and insisted on an
explanation. Hysterics promptly put in an appearance, and the
muddle hasn't been cleared up yet.
In New York City, when a man is discovered playing the role of
what Mr. Dana's Sun calls the "American Hog," he is promptly
apprised of his unpopularity by a series of well-imitated grunts
from the by-s~anders. The same hint might be used in this city
with good effect on divers occasions. The street car hog is the
most obnoxious sample of the human porker. N~t long ago, on
car 168 of the Ea5t Cleveland road, a well·dressed man, sitting near
the rear door, kept his feet on the opposite seat all the way from
Willson avenue to the Squlre, grudgingly removing them only
when it became necessary for passengers to go by him in order to
get out. A chorus of grunts and disapproving sq ueals might have
done some good in his case. I am practising during my spare
moments.
*
Dr. Biggar is a very polite man and e~erybody knows it. It is
a pleasure to see his courtly manners but, I regret to say, they
bro.ught him to grief a few days ago. It was on Euclid avenue
and the doctor was bowing and smiling his adieux to friends on
the sidewalk as he stepped into the street to haIt a coming motor.
Two·thirds of his attention was divided to his friend~ and he was
quite blind to the fact that danger was approaching. Another
step and he precipitated himself squarely onto a diminutive horse,
whose approach he had not noticed. The horse withstood the
shock bravely, and the blushing doctor speedily extricated himself
with a flood of apologies to the driver. He even bowed his regret
to the horse himself, and I'm sure if the animal had any of the
quality usually denominated as horse-sense, his resentment must
have been thoroughly placated.
iIt ¥ If
I notice that at the recent pie-eating contest, in New York City,
the winner absorbed five pies in nine minutes. This may be a
good record, but it strikes me that several boys up in my neighbor­hood
could do fully as well if they had the opportunity-that is to
say, the pies. This reminds me of the struggle of two well·known
young men, living on Case avenue, who determined last May to
test their rival abilities to put away strawberry shortcake. The
esculent s. c. was all prepared by the cook in the family of one of
the youths, said to be the finest artist in her line, south of the
avenue, and in the presence of three intimate friends, one of them
a medical fledging, with a brand new stomach pump, the struggle
began. It was spirited while it lasted, but it didn't la~t long.
One of the contestants. disposed of four 6x3 cubes, and the other
gobbled five. Both had sadly over·es:imated their personal capaci­ties.
Four large shortcakes remained untouched, and these were
disposed of by the friends of the parties, the medical fledging doin~
up two of them unaided, and then hurrying away with his stomach
pump pressed convulsively under his arm.

It was that gay ornament to Bohemia, the chevalier Allen O.
Myers, who roused the most enthusiastic applause at the Elks'
social session. And when he said: "Here is myoid friend Foran,
who has served eight or ten years in Congress, and would like to
go again," the hilarity was fairly convulsing.
* • *
A friend of mine has a horse that doesn't take kindly to the July
heat. He shows his dislike by a steady bombardment of kicks on
the stable floor. Through the night those craShing blows from
the iron hoof fall with wild irregularity. Of course sleep is sadly
interfered with, both for the horse and the owner's family. A
night or two ago the owner himself, with rage in his heart, went
out to the barn late in the evening, determined to cure the kicker.
He took a heavy whip with him and quietly entered the place.
Closing the door very softly Dehind him he sat down near the
animal and waited. The mercury was up near 90, and there wasn't
a breath of air stirring. The perspiration rolled in rivulets down
the owner's face and neck, and his breath came short and thick.
But still he waited. Not a sound came from the horse. He waited,
too. For a good half hour that devoted man sat there until nature
caul i endure no more. Then he staggered out into the open Ilir,
the whip falling from his nerveless hand. At that moment a score
of fierce crashing kicks resounded from the stable. The horse was
also tired of waiting. The exhausted owner shook his fist feebly
at the barn, and in a voice weakened ~y exhaustion hoarsely mut­tered
"I'd like to kick myself!" The horse, entirely undisturbed,
spent the remainder of the night at his favorite amusement.

·*O'Day's refusal to sit at table w.i.th two men in the Boston club
has created no end of newspaper criticism at Mr. O'Day's expense.
One Philadelphia writer most fittingly observed after quoting the
item, "that there is no law in this country against a man making
an ass of himself." There are others aching to get into the same
boat with O'Day. Base ball talent has deteriorated since base ball.

all they think of is to create a sensation and get their nalDes in

And so the League club is to •betIfstrengthened, at least an effort
is to be made in that direction. It can standa change at second
base, and yet I feel sorry for Ardner. No player ever tried more
earnestly to do good work than this Cleveland man of ours. And
the funny part of it is that he generally did pretty good work
away from home. At least, the daily newspapers say so, and you
can be sure that they know, for base ball in the East and West is
followed by a tolerably keen lot of writers, some of whom have
made the game as much a study as the base ball people themselves.
They say the new baseman is a good hitter. I hope so, and I'm
glad of it if he is.
quite a delegation of the old guard, who divide th'eir time between
League and Brotherhood, and abuse and praise the players of
each to their heart's content. All hail to the cranks! When ~11.1;1iIl1i they desert the national game in a body, base ball will have to
take up its bed and walk. None wiII be left then to do it rever­ence.
•*• The injury to Tebeau, if it should prove at all serious, wiII be
uncommonly disastrous to the Cleveland Brotherhood game.
Tebeau is not only the substance of the local Brotherhood menu,
but the spice and relishes in addition. How many times has he
kept the sinking hearts of the local men from plunging completely
into their boots. How often his words of encourgement and his
cheering" Never mind, go for the next," has brightened up some
player who has made an error. Ordinarily, it is the captain of a
club who does these things, but Tebeau is not captain, and the
captain of the Cleveland Brotherhood club, so far as my limited
observation has been able to discover, is altogether too much con·
cerned with himself to care what becomes of the rest. Without
fear of successful contradiction I again repeat that I think the loss
of Tebeau to the ~ub for any length of time, wiII be signally un­fortunate.
ONE day last week it was
my pleasure to sit in
'front of one of my own genus at a
ball game at Brotherhood park. Bu t
stop; was it my pleasure? Listen to
my tale and decide for yourself, 0
discriminating reader. The moment
that he came into the stand I spotted,
him for a crank. You could read it
in the restlessness of his eyes, the tilting of
his hat to one side, the nervous working
of his fingers, and the eager anxiety that
induced him to fairly leap down the steps in order to get a front
seat. He had a friend with him, an innocent·looking, mild­appearing
gentleman, who followed his unsteady companion with
more moderation to the chairs on the lower row. My brother
genius, or genus, take your choice, the cran k, purchased a score
card. Then he pulled the stub of a well-chewed pencil out of his
pocket and marked diligently. He bobbed down to the scorer
and asked him what the battery for each club would be. Then
he bobbed back to his mild·nlannered friend and at great length
extolled the virtues and peculiarities of the different players. He
had a large and appreciative audience belore long, and one young
lady cautiously whispered to her escort and inquired if that was
Al Johnson, "becau5e he knows so much base baU, don't you
know?" The gong rang after awhile and with a prolonged "Ah,"
my friend, the crank (all of us cranks are (riends), settled back in
his chair, grabbed his hat in one hand and vigorously fanned him­self
while Stricker struck out. "Surprised," he ejaculated, "com­pletely
surprised. Never saw him do that before in my life."
And yet he had, but the excitement of the occasion made him for.
get it. Then Delahanty came to the home plate. "Now watch
this man hit the ball," excitedly exclaimed our common friend.
The opposing pitcher tossed a nice straight ball over the plate
and Delahanty mi5sed it by a foot. "Gracious, did you see that
curve," said the crank, and his friend nodded his her.d out of
sheer self defense. But the ball didn't curve an inch. The crank
thought it surely curved because Delahanty missed it. Finally
the batter popped up an easy little fly and was put out. "Crane's
got lots of speed to-day," said the crank, "and Cleveland can't
touch him." It is sad to relate in the interests of truth that
Crane had no speed at all, and was simply tossing the ball to the
batters. The moment that he began to use his swift ball he be­came
so wild that he sent batter after batter to base in succcssion.
If I were to go on and repeat to you all the funny and queer sayings
that this base ball enthusiast" got off" that afternoon I am very
much afraid they might fill an issue of TOWN TOPICS. He was
never right. Invariably he would have a wrong description or a
wrong term for a play, but he was perfectly happy, and of all the
men who witnessed' the game that afternoon none. enjoyed it more,
and I doubt if few enjoyed it as much as this happy crank, who,
in blissful ignorance of what was right got the worth of his fifty
cents in' everything that was wrong. It's a glorious and erratic
army, this army of base ball cranks. It has as many theories as
individual members, and no two can see the same pictures of the
game. Its ranks have been a trifle depleted this Summer, owing
to the bitter warfare among the rival clubs, but there still remains
TOWN tOPICS.
IN SOCIETY.
By all odds the most successful of newspaper managers in
town is Mr. Wyllis Osborn, business manager of The Press.
Mr. Osborn, although yet young in years, is at the top of the lad·
der as regards that business experience that usually comes only
with ripe old age. Rather quiet and reserved, he is a great favor­ite
with his as~ociates, and commands the personal friendship of
every newspaper man in town. Mr. Osborn is a member of the
Troop, and is an enthusiast on the subject of horse flesh. His
greatest affliction is his inability to smoke, owing to a little friendly
agreement j and when he sees a man light a cigar, he immediately
proceeds to take a II cold smoke" himself.
It is a curious and remarkable fact that in spite of the prevalent
and continuous rains the tennis courts of Clevel~nd's crack clubs
were never in better condition. Hard, smooth, elegant surfaces
are characteristic of the clay courts, and it is hardly necessary to
mention that all the grass courts are in the most admirable condi·
tion since, they could hardly be otherwise with the reputation of
Cleveland's elegant lawns to bear me out. I was talking the other
day with one of Cleveland's well-known tennis players, and the
question of which club contained the best lady players came up.
He rather thought that the Forest City club, whose grounds are at
the corner of Euclid avenue and Kennard street, bore off the
honors. Among the young ladies who are members of that organ·
ization are Miss Stella Leland, probably the best young lady ten­nis
player in the city, the Misses Chandler, also experts with the
racquet, Miss Gordon, the Misses Hutchins and many others reo
siding in the near locality. The Willson avenue tennis club, I am
informed, also has some excellent young lady amateurs. Before
long, as matters now look, there will be a grand local tournament,
in whkh all clubs will have representatives. There we may look
forward to some very exciting and accurate work. Tennis t~urna.
ments have become so popular in the East that they quite take
precedence over all other kinds of Summer amusement. To be a
good tennis player simply means that one is likely to become ex­tremely
popular in one's set. I might also add that to be a good
tennis player is to acquire a rare and graceful accomplishment.

THE STAGE.
" Heartbound," the new society drama, written by two Cleve­land
gentlemen, Messrs. Harold Bushea and James Kelly, was
produced at the Lyceum during the first three nights of this week,
and drew comfortably large houses. The plot is strong, the
dialogue bright and witty, and while the violent ending is some­thing
of a shock, it is the only possible solution. The pl::.y is de·
void of cheap or stale accessories, free from the superficial tone of
the ordinary society play, while on the other hand it gives full
play for strong situations, dramatic as well as comic. With a little
necessary prunning the play promises to beco'me a card of more
than ordinary strength.
--------
NEW MUSIC.
THE White·Smith Company, of Boston, is making a big hit with
its edition of Edward Strauss' concert music. Among late
issues are Adam's bright overture, "If I Were King j" a quaint
"Shepherd's Dance," by Moskowski, and" Editorial Columns,"
an irresistible polka by Strauss, himself. Young pianists will find
the following well worth their practice: "Morning Song" and
.1 In the Weod Mill," by Franz Behr, and" I Think of Thee," by
J. H. Doppler. Of a higher grade is a bourree by Moskowski,
which is melodic and musicianly, as are all his compositions. In
vocal music this house also sends us" For You," an effective song
by Sydney Smith, and a new edition of Hope Temple's popular
ballad" My Lady's Bower."
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
DESPITE the coolness of the evening, the concert given by
the Philharmonic Orchestra, Wednesday night, at Halt·
north's Garden, was well attended. There will be another and
final concert at the same place, next Wednesday evening, by the
Philharmonics, that ought to attract every music-loving person in
town. The Philharmonic Orchestra is a hard-working organization
whose playing is far above the diletantism usually found among
amateurs. The organization has done much to elevate tht popu­lar
musical taste, and is worthy of encouragement and patronage.
The Roberto Jive will be supplemented, next week, with
another set of wonderful feats. Prince Leo will undertake to slide
by his teeth down a wire stretched {rom the 160 foot tower to the
ground. T~is is the longest "teeth slide" ever undertaken, and
will present a most inspiring spectacle. At night Leo will execute
it with a stick of lighted red fire in his mouth. At the same time,
the Cleveland diver, Karl, will attempt the Roberto dive from the
tower. On Wednesday night a display of Pain's fireworks will be
given in honor of the State republican convention.

sort of decline that frequently attacks
women of lively tendencies who are forced to remain in the cily

The masculine girl, with the stiff sailor hat, starched shirt·front
and manly little jacket, found a happy hunting.ground in which to
disport herself, at the ball grounds during the last few weeks. She
was' both loud and numerous at some of the games, and if her
costume didn't ~ake her donspicuous enough, she made up for it
by shrill squeals and vociferous ejaculations in moments of excite·
ment. Those stiff percale shirts are not so bad, until the girls
take oft" their jackets, and Sit there in their shirt sleeves, as some
of them do, and that seems downright ungentlemanly. I'm sure
they wouldn't countenance it in a man. It's funny that when a

fairy, the very personification of womanliness, and she never is
more fascinating than when masquerading in a jaunty toilette
simulatin~ that of a boy as near as audacity, restricted by custom,
can make it. Its too ludicrous to see some of the girls when they
get exeited. There is usually one in the crowd who has to explain
everything to the rest, and she leads the chorus when the cue is
given for howls, hoots or hisses. Perhaps you haven't noticed,
but there are very few men who will take a green girl to a ball
game-and small blame to them. I don't believe Job himself
would have enjoyed the strain of explaining the manreuvres to a
crowd of young women who UJJuld talk instead of watching the
game, and who took more interest in the personal appearance of
the players than in the manipulations of the frisky ball.

You may not believe it, but I should not like to be engaged to
a " tra veling man." Some of the girls may think it would be the
larkiest kind of engagement, but I know two girls whose jiancus
happen to be drummers and they say they are perfect Othello's.
Only both of tfum have light complexions. But the girls say they
are so jealous and severe-they d'on't care how poky it is for the
girls while they are away. I think Gussie Giddywitt's engage·
ment is off already, at least they have had a frighlful misunder·
standing. You see Gussie went out (or a little walk one evening,
wilh Belle Brimmer. Well, the first person they met was Mr.
Softleigh, and a(tp.r walking a little way with them, what was
more natural than for him to invite them to have some ice cream?
Belle says, now, that she didn't want to accept at all on account of
Gussie, but Gussie mistook the wild ligh t in Belle's eyes for a
longing for cream, so they accepted. Well, I wouldn't want to
be in Belle Brimmer's shoes! The, next day Mr. Drumwell,
Gussie's betrothed, was in town. And who should call, while he
was in the Giddywitt's parlor, but that fresh young Softleigh. He
knew nothing about the engagement, and had come to return
Gussie's fan, which she had left at the cale the evening before!
" I was there to-day, and they remembered seeing us together last
evening," he blurted out, "so they handed over the fan. I must
say ,l think you're in luck, Miss Giddywitt, having your property
restored so promptly." 1n luck! The poor girl felt as attenu·
ated as a last month's Canada soldier. It was half an hour before
Softleigh discovered that he was dt trop, and lefr, then Gussie tried
to patch it up. But they say things look very dubious...;..and all
for such a slight alTair! Belle feels conscience stricken, but I tell
her to take it as a solemn warning. When she gets engaged, let
it be to a man who can stay home and make it pleasant for her­a
stationary man.

Dear S;r:- Your Auburn steam boiler, which you
placed in St. Joseph's Seminary for Young Boys, Not­tingham,
0., for us, is a success. While the inmates of
the seminary enjoyed pleasaut snmmer heat during the
coldest days of last winter, there was a saving of time,
labor, and fuel; in fine, the Auburn boiler proves to be
all you claim for It. Respectfully,
MOTHER SUPERIOR.

Stea.m Heating Co., No. 30 South Water St., has put
three additionai boilers into the Villa Angela and one
into Father Buff's house.

Take the Nickel Plate to this popular and famous
resort, a lake of crystal water, hlgll up among the
hills of New York, whose sandy shores. and wooded
promontories present one continuous panOramic
scene of unrivalled beauty and grandeur; where
bathinc is unexcelled and boating and fishing are an
unbounded success.
The well-known popularity of Chautauqua Lake,
its acknowledged ple-eminence,is sufficient to induce
all who can arrange to do so, to spend some portion
of this season along its shady retreats and enjoy the
healthful atmosphere of this altitude of between
1,400 and 1,500 feet above sea level.
No other Summer l{esort has enjoyed ~uch dis­tinction,
and this season's programme promises to
be the mOlt successful ever arranged and bids fai r
to eclipse all previous efForts.
The history of the famous resort is faIT iliar to all,
and the influence of the non-sectarian relili:ious and
educational societies is being felt from ocean to

Elegant hotel accommodations at moderate rates
as well as board in private families, can be procured
at rates to suit everyone. The special arrange­ments

A CASE WITHOUT A PAR·ALLEL.
Something of Absolute Interest to Mothers.
The only instance on record where quadruplets have all lived to reach six
months of age. All at this date, July 15th, are in perfect health and are per­fectly
1I0urished on Carnrick's Food.
In an article published in the Dietetic Gazette, from Dr. J. De Leon, the
physician in charge of the case, we extract the following:
In the country, and" backwoods" at that, it was impossible to procure a
"wet nurse," so with the little help we could control, and feeding the babies on
"Reed & Carnrick's Infant Food," the) thri\ ed well. From using all the foods
on the market I long since found that the above food pos'sessed some qualities
that I failed to find in the otners.
The birth of quadruplets is not so ren1arkable, but that they should live
and thrive as these have done, is. In about 375,000 births there are quadruplets,
and it is a remarkable fact that they always die.
REED & CARt\RICK, New York.
CeJltlelllw :-13y way of introductioll, I am the happy father of a quartette of girls born at
Ingersoll, Bowie Co., Texas, on Jail. la, 18C)0. Soon after thei I' birth, I worried along as well
as I could with wet·llu rses, but bein~ unablc to get anyth ing constant, I resolved to try artificial
food -not that thc mother was short of milk, but had not enough for all.' I tried -- Food,
and whcther, owing to my failure to comply with its intricate method of preparatio", or whether
thc food was not suited to our particular babies, I can't say. However, it disagreed with thcm,
whereupon we tried your Carnrick's Food with the best results. Thcy are all doing finely. As
they consume about three small size tins in two days, and, coupled with the fact that ours are
unique circumstanccs, I would deem it a favor could yOll furnish me with a case of Food at
reasonable priccs. Yours truly, E. T. PAGE.

BRIGGS: What are you going to do for
some new clothes?
G!{IGGS: Imitate Mrs, Shaw.
TI-IE DIFFERENCE.
.. TOO much beauty, I reckon, is nothing but too much sun,"
So Mrs. Browning- wrote in sweet poetic duty,
No doubt to some ideal in fair Italy won,
Where all the cheeks are blossom-hued, or fruity.
But here, alas, our loveliest maids must shun
The fervid morns and noons, their tender cuti-
Cle blisters, and flames, and flakes, and too much sun
Is anything you like but too much beauty!
Aradeline S. Bridges.
GOOD ADVICE.
.. THAT was a good lot of maxims the Massachusetts clergyman had," said
Spriggins. II Listen while I read them: vVhen a man knows not that he
knows not, he is a fool; shun him. When a man knows not, and knows that he
knows not, he is simple; teach him. When a man knows and knows not that he
knows, he is asleep; wake him. When a man knows and knows that he knows, he
is wise; follow him."
.. Good, but wordy," returned Cynicus. .. The whole batch could have been
condensed to the old time maxim: • Follow your knows.'''
