AuUan Slelghlon lounged into Capt.
Wheeler's little shop and seated limiself
on a three hogged stool, fays tin.- Toutira
Cotiiiunion "I declare to man," lie said,
languidly, addressing the active owner
or tbu tlmp, who was mending a net, "it's
distressin' to tie a teller that's as lazy as
in' wire's brother William!"
"William!" clued the sturdy little cap
tain In amazement. "Why, William is al
ni tlnkerin' trmctlim', so rar as I can
vc. Ain't he iixedout jourhome wilhall

manner or inventions to make things

"That's Just what I mean," said Sir.
SIcighlon, Tilth a doleful expression on
bis fallow countenance. "William's

much to the captain's distress. "I'm sure I

Tlint Sprinkler and Sweeper.
A novel btreet-sweeping machine has been
put into actual work on Philadelphia
trects. Its-Jecided novelties are that It
carries Its own sprinkler the rear part
of the lank hoiding the water that, In
stead of sprinkling the street to keep the
dust down, the revolving brush is kept
dampened all the time, thus avoiding the
mud and water on (ho streets necessary In
tbe old methods; and tbe most Important
of all, that the dirt taken up Is thrown
directly upon the endless carrier, which
lakes It up and empties it Into tbe tank
composing the front of the machine. This
tank is removable, and when filled is lifted
out and an empty one substituted, while
tbe filled one Is carted away, dispensing
with all shoveling and dust. The machine
weighs but 1,300 pounds, and In Its trials
has demonstrated Its merits in a way very
gratifying to those Interested. One of
them Is now In actual operation.

ENGLISHMEN WJX.T. BE BEATEN.
Capt. Horan Admltn niMen Are Too
Slow for Tnle.
(Special to The Times.)
New York, Oct. 3. Capt. Horan, of the
Cambridge athletes, does not think much of
the chances of his team with Yale In the
games to be held on Saturday.
"I am not sanguine of victory," he says.
"In fact, I shall be much surprised and cor
respondingly pleased If we capture a ma
jority of the events. To Yale I concede
the hammer, shot, broad Jump and 100
yard run. Cambridge, I think, will win the
350-yard, quarter-mile, half and one-mile
races.
"The hurdles and the high Jump I con
sider In doubt, while the 100-yard event
seems -safe for Richards; yet Lewlng, who
will start, may prove to be a surprise. He
Is running quite fast."

The Corbelt ar.d Fitzslnuuoius fight, 6o
far as Texas Is concerned, is done for. The.
action or the legislature of that State yes
tcnlay was discussed -ever where alwut
town to-day, and it had a luezing effect
on the boxers and their friends.
The iiucslinii that was on every liody's
tongue was, will Corbelt and Fltzslinmons
fight? Pome thought they would, others
thought they wouldn't, and Hie "wouldn't"
ing no doubture nearly right.
It is a will known laet that Corbelt did
not want to make a match wllli.l'itzsim
mous He iiislstid that he should not be
usked to light a man who was not in his
cla-s. He ni'd l.c wn imposed upon when
he was forced Into the fight'liy newf-papcr
and 'oilier hard hearted pecph.'.
ntzsiinnions has been saying he was
siiolllng lor a fight. He piouubly thought
ho was when the match was first made.
He seems, however, lo hate changed his
mild. If he had not he would cot have
made the kicks hat have been heard from
him o' laie. Men who really w mil lo fight
do mil lay awake al night watching for
things lo turn up that the can use to keep
them I rem fighting.
The present Mains of things gives lioth
Corlietl and Fllzslnininns a chance that
it is ci.tlioly sare to pndlct they will will,
ingly ai-cept. That is lncy,"we wanted
to fight, but the law ctoprcd us." That Is
about what they will tay, ai.d there will
be no light. -
The dereat of Eiglnh Arthur Valentine
at the hands ofCarley McKc ever last night,
hl.ifts the foreigner's hopes for nil Inter
n.ilionil ch.impiomhlp battle. Though
tin1 fight was not a great one, it priAcsthat
McKcccr is a picmislng candidate for
pugilistic honors that the top Hoteliers
will hac to recognize lieriafler.
Johnny Glynn aid JoeDalcman will be
gin training regularly this week ror their
bout, which Isiel lor I he night of the 24th.
This promises to be a icry interesting af
fair. Glyrn and Uatcmau have faci-d each
other twice befoie In the rod arena, nnd
neither meeting was wholly satisfactory
to either of thciu. They werecrpcclally ins
satisfactory to ll.ilem.in, who thinks he
got the worst of the decision both times.
In the coming cm-iu both men premise to
be in prime condition, and a clipping mill
should and doubtless wIIIIh put up by them.
Glynn and Datcman are a ery evenly
matched pair.
The talk that Is being nude about a
match between Joe ChojnkI and Hob
Filzsimiiions will no doubt crd in tnioke.
It looks likeaiindcrtisement rorChoynskl
and nothing more. If the fight between
Corbelt and Fltzslinmons falls through
It will do to because the authorities of
Texas w ill keep them from righting, and
because they can find no other place In
fight, and if Corbelt and Fitzslmmons can't
fight it is not likely that Corlictt and Maher
cai- fight or that Choynskl and Fitz-sim-mons
can fight, either In Texas, Indian
Territory, Mexico, or any olbcT part or
the country.
And now the gencrnor of Kentucky has
set hlmseir against prize' fighting. He has
notified the major of Le.uisulle that the
bout between Hilly Murphy and Johnny
Gnlfin must not be allow e-d to come off
The pair were matched lo meet on the 7th
of this month. Louisville has of late; been
holding herarenj. wide open to the boxers.
It was there Kid McCoy bent liiek Moore
onlv a few weeks ago, ard many fights or
minor importance have Iiccji pulled off
there within the past year or two. The
outlook for the Ikixcts at present has a blue
tinge nearly everywhere.
The goernor of Massachusetts has con
gratulated Gov. CullKTfon on the elete-r-iniued
Etaud be has taken against prize
fighting, and Fends him the encouraging in
formation that in his State prize fighting
is a felony, punishable by ten years' Impris
onment in the penitentiary. There is a
prize fight or two in the very heart of Dos
ton about e cry week iu the year.
The good bout put up by Howard Wllbon
against Jack Daly last Monday night has
Inspired the colored boy's friends with
even more confidence than they had In htm
before. The decision was agalmt AVilson,
but the man of his iiounds ami experience
who can ghe the clever Daly as good a
Eet-to as he did certainly has the making
of a good one in him. When it is remem
bered that Wilson has no one-to look after
him, as nearly all good fighters have, but
that he runs along entirely on Ins own
hook, it can lie more clearly seen that he
must be a pretty likely young rellow-.
There Is a good deal of ellsappolntment
among the short hairs that there is no
prospect of Tred Morris getting a go here.
Morris was formerly a Washlngtonian, but
is now making Philadelphia his stamping
ground. He was considered a good man
liefore he left this city, but has improved
greatly iu the past year, and good Judges
of boxers here and elsewhere believe him
to be capable of giving any 150-pound man
now In the righting business in this coun
try a very ttlff argument. Iu fact, some
or his more enthusiastic supporters declare
that none of the 150-pounders are as good
as be Is. Morris is much disappointed at
falling to get on a matcli with McCoy. He
says he believes he can liest him, and as
the Kid has made quite a name recently
Fred says such a victory would be tbe mak
ing of him. He rays about every man he
has tried to match with of late has drawn
the color line on Mm.
EASTERN HIGH SCHOOL ELEVEN.
Team Is Believed to Be the Best the
School Has Ever Had.
The Eastern High School football team
has been reorganized, and Is doing dally
practice work on the grounds at the
school. At a meeting of the team last
night Gilbert Kelly was elected captain.
There are many good players in the
school, and while Hie positions have not
all been definitely filled. It is likely that
"Williams will be left end, Suell, lert
tackle; Miller, left guard; Meggg, center;
McKenzie, right guard; Singer, right tackle;
S. Maupln, right end; Kelly, quarter-back;
Parsons, right half; Yount, left half; J.
Maupin, full-back.
The first game lo be played by the team
will probably be with Kendall Green in
about two weeks. The high sclmolsdo not
tbink they can get Into good ciihditlon
before that time.
While at practice a few days ago S.
Maunin severely sprained one of his wrists.
but be expects to be in the field again In a
few days.

No pacemakers were supplied. The time

at the start. The pace was slow.
Anderson, whose suspension was rcduc-od
from sixty lo thirty days, which allowed
him to ride yesterday, made a clever jump
at tile head of the stretch on the first
lap and. with Decanly. gained a long lead.
Gardiner, from sixth position In the line,
went out after the leaders and llald closed
with him.
Anderson dropped out. and llald came
like a shot out or the bunch and got through.
Murphy closed with him In the stretch
and Gardiner was within. Inches. The
three crossed the (ape incbcs.ap.irt innrdej
as follows: llald. Murphy, Gardiner, Sims,
Cooper, Coulter. Kiser, Wells, and Ternll.

Many Harvard graduates In this vicinity
have expressed satisfaction at the with

Cleveland, O., Oct. 3. Four of the prin

His action created surprise, but the second

to do with Childs' change of intnd. The

Dclehanty being a good second baseman,
Childs thinks ho may have an opportunity
of getting away.

They Got an Unexpected Beating,
But Had a Pleasant Time.
AilicricaiiKlIa'.e Learned a Great Deal
About the Game, Hut They Will Be

(Special to The Times.)
New York, Oct. 3. The EnglUh cricket
ers who have been In America for the past
month or more trying their skill against
our teams, sailed for their homes on the
t,tcanicr Xew York last evening.
Ik-fore Iea iug they spoke ve-ry plcasantly
of their visit. Capt. Mitchell expressed
himself as more than pleased al the recep
tion accorded lo him and his men by the
American cricketers. When ciuestlotiHcl as
to his opinion of American cricketcTs, he
acknowledged that the game had riMchesl n
much higher standard in thM country than
he had nupiioscd. The- Philadelphia team,
he said, furuUned the Llggest urprle for
bun and his men.
In reganl to the proposed illt of the
Philadelphia!!- to England next i.eaon,
he said:
"The Philadelphia team Is a very strong
one, bat I think it will meet with defeat at
the harels of ll.e firsKlass coumii's of
England. Your men would certainly Ma ml
a good chance of defeating the unhersities
and the lcer counties, but against the pro
fessional bowling of England I think your
chances would be next to noihfiig.
"In any oae, ou may say that, sliouM
the PhiladclphlaiU conclude to lslt us
next season, they will be assured of a hearty
welcome, and, as the fact of their gone!
plalng has been o widely published all
over Eiigland, they will be sure to draw
immense crowds lo all games in which taey
inay participate."
It is estimated that there are more than
,10,000 bicjele riders In Washington, and
yet Ics than 500 of them are members of
clubs, it is believed that ir more or the
riders would attach tbcmscltes to clubs
already organized, or establish new ones,
at least someof theevils of which complaint
is so orte-n made by whe-ehnen might be
overcome.
The Iyngue of American Wheelmen has
more than 33,000 members. The organiza
tion has evidently not grown as fast as its
elder promoters at the liegiiining or the sea
son hoped it would. They then predleted
that It would have 00,000 memliers by tint
e loseof the cycling season.
Shnbl. who is nowon the road in an ef
fort to lieat R. P. Searles' bicycle record
from Chicago to New York, is a French
man, and claims that, besides having ln-aten
the great French rider, Huret. he holds the
1,000 mile world's rce-ord. He wears a
gold medal presented lo him by President
Carnot. This, he sajs, was given him In
Paris two years ago, when he rode 730
miles in forty-two hours. For his lung ride
he was given $2,000. It he succeeds In low
ering the Chlcago-Xew York record he will
attempt to tour the world on a bU'jele in
eleven months.
After the Yale-Cambridge' International
'varsity meet on Saturday next the at hletes
wlllbegiven n dinner in New York. Sir Ju
lian Paune-efole, the English ambassador,
will present the medals to the winners. The
demand for tickets for the games has lieen
unprecedented, applications having lieen re
ceived from towns as far West as Chicago.
The University of Virginia elevens and
Friuceton elevens are scheduled to play a
game of football on the Catonsvlllc Country
Club's grounds on Wednesday next.

this interesting room Is a narghlleh, which
the proprietor smokes with evident enjoy

service to the Washington club, and made
a record unceiualed by any other catcher,

places and Is a credit to the team and to
the city.
At Cleveland are to be found about the
only people who do not think that Phila
delphia might have made a better showing
against llaltimore than she did if she had
tried. A paper of that city says that the
Phillies are not rast enough for the Ualtl
mores. It Is absurd to assert that Phila
delphia did not play Its best against Balti
more, for the reason that had Philadelphia,
been able to win steadily from tbe Baltl
mores there was a chance ror the Quakers
to have taken part In the Temple cup
scries.

WO" HIS CASE.
A IMitliulelpUla. Liivryer' Iilen of
Thrift awl How It Worked.
Over In Philadelphia dwelt a young lair
student who fell inlove jnstas heirosalioufc
to Ik- ailmittc-d to practice, says the New
York Journal. The slrl's farther alto be
longed to ILc profession anil wa reckoned
pretty smart, as Philadelphia lawyers so.
The old fellow gave a partialconjcnt to tho
young man's pl-adliigs, I nit concluded he
would try the student and tee if I.e was
worthy to be his eon in-law. So he said:
"The case of Blank against Blanklusbeen
on the calander several years It has been
tricd.appcaled,decisionrevereed.iricdagaln
and conies up again for argument at the
nest general term. I am counsel for the
plaintiff. I have fczd the cafe four years,
hut now I Him it over to you. Here ara
the papers; see what you can do."
The young mjn took the papers and went
to work with a vim born of love for if ho
won the case should he not ako win a brideT
At last lire seemed to him worth the living.
He studied the case thoroughly. lie con
sulted the authorities and was loaded and
primed for a brilliant argument w hen tho
court convened. He made bis plea and won
the case without any trouble.
With n heart overflowing with Joy he re
turned lo his prospective father-in-law
and, slapping down tbe papers, he ex
claimed: i
"See here, sir; thecase is won! Thcsearo
the proofs. What you tried for years to do
I have accomplished at a single term of
court. Now, may I Lave your daughter?"
The old fellow looked up with a imtla
upon his face as he replied:
"I think you a fool and you can't have
my daughter. But I -n ill Just give you a
little gratuitous advice: It n tiue 1 had
the case four years without winning it,
and it is ako true that I made thousand
of dollars out of it; but ou have gore and
settled it; and what baveyou made? About
$50. No.slr, you oin't have my daughter."
XKAHI-Y A. CEXTIJ1IY OLD.
A Brick Vault Which Contain,, llloeka
of Steel That Are Iimilunble.
In the midst of the ruins of the demol
ished building on Sansom street, above
Sixth, where the firm of Mackellar, bmiths
& Jordan, type founders, is preparing to
erect a new foundry, stands a large trick
and steel safe, the antiquity of which,
dates back almost a century.
The safe is built up from the cellar, on
substantial foundations, to a level with
the first llcor. Ur. llackellar, one of the
members of the firm, said recently that
what it contains is the key to their business.
The value of the books and papers of the
firm pale into insignificance when com
pared to the appraisement of the matrices
and dies with which Imprcsi-Ions of type
are made that have been stored In this
safe for many years. They could never
be replaced if destroyed, and tbe firm
takes exceeding care of them. The safe
or vault Is about 20 feet lorg, 10 feet high
and as many feet wide. Its one entrance
Is a doorway on the cast side, which is
closed at night by an iron and steel door
half an inch thick.
The -wall?, floor and roof of the safe
are of steel plates, backed by three rows of
brick. Inside, the matrices anddiepuiichcs
are systematically arranged in boxes and
shelves around the walls. In the morn-.
Ing those matrices which are needed are
taken from the vault, which is now reached
by a shaky plank bridge, and carried to
the foundry. At night they arc taken back
and locked up.
When the new building is up the safe
will be reconstructed for the second time
la Its hUlory. Once before, some thirty
years argo, It was strengthened and made
fire-proof by the addition of steel walls and
better building of the outer brick walls.
It Is now fireproof and so arranged that,
should the building which contained It have
burned down, the safe wouldntlll ha veatood
In the original spot, for its foundation res
cil on the cellar floor.
The building which the type founders ar
about to erect will be higher than the former
one and will he built of rompetlaa trick.
