Cincinnati wants Arthur Clarkson and Tom Hrown. Cincinnati has undoubtedly same talent to olTer that would prove acceptable, nnd which at the same time Is not of much use to the Kw iik oRRreRatlon. Clarkson has avowed his Intention of not pltchlnc Rood ball for the Urowns any more, nnd Tom llrown has likewise exhib ited considerable hesitancy about sIku UR to play with the local club. Hoth would prove of value to Cincinnati, for clarkson undoubtedly possesses merit as a twlrler, and Is willlim- tc display it when the , ,. vironments and salary are Millielcntly ap lieasttiB, while Tom llrown Is pretty much In the same boat. "Huck" KwiiiK no doubt made known his intentions ooncernlim- the plavers while he and ItuckenberKer were toRether In Mobile l,tt Sunday.

Senator JIorKiin, the cyclist, says that thete will be no Good ltoads tournament this vear, as it Involves too much work. Inventor Small thinks that Ills new sulky will permit brlnRltiR the trottltiR record iiRalu within hnlllnK dlstanno of the wheel men. Cleveland wheelmen claim to have se cured tho promise from the rlty olllclals that the streets will be sprinkled only on one side at a time. The Heed brothers, of Uipon. Wis., will not be seen on the race track this season. Their father will tako them to Kutopo to kicp them away from the game. .Mr. 'Arris, the Fngllsh rider, is talking about how unfairly the Americans ride. The "unfairness" probably consists In beating Harris every time they met lilm liiht season. An exchange says: "Some of the nest families of Chicago, Now Yoik and Ilrook lyn sleep with their heads between their feet, so that when the active season ar rives they may not seem altogether unac quainted with thu ways of cycling." Is it possible, snis the American Cyclist, that Henry W. Itobertson. New England member or the national racing board, will tak- charge of the arrangements for a New Ktigland circuit. Over tw.-nty-ilve clubs have expressed their desire to par ticipate in such a. circuit. In baking powders It Is safer to use the lloval only, iin article that many years' ex perience has proved most etllclent. nnd which has been ollk tally demonstrated pure und wholesome. ,10V AT lUK-iONS, (Irounil for the.

She Charges n .Skillful Man nnd 1 Thrown Dicr In ii .11 fry. Tn Washington county. Me., between Now Stream and the Kust Machlas river, the townsmen of Northfleld and Whltneyvllle have had considerable fun since October chasing; a wild heifer, which strayed from Hartlett Albee's farm in Northlleld some time last sum mer. She displayed all the nlertness nml sagacity of game animals In eluding capture. Dogs were put on her track in November, but instead ot circling as deer do when pursued by hounds, she put straightaway like a caribou, to re main for weeks away from her ncous tomed localities. Saturday a week ago there tvns a heavy snow storm In that part of the country, and report having come to Whltneyvllle thnt tho heifer, a shadow of her former self, had been sighted in the woods near tho conlluencu of Old and New streams, which empty Into tho Muchnis east of Northlleld, Thomas Hennessey and Jim Henley, accom panied by some boys, started out to cap ture her. Hunger had driven tho animal from the woods to the clearings, but nothing; could induce her to come near a human being. When sighted, Hennessey and lleuley gave chase on snow shoes, tho deep snow making rapid progress for the heifer out of the question. Hlio ran, however, till her pursuers were close on li.r quarters, when shu suddenly, pays the Now York Sun, turned to give bat tle. Her liellowlngs were terrific, and she looked so frightful when she turned thnt Hennessey nnd the boys gave way. Jtwilcy was game. Two years ago a she bear Is said to have treed him, and he has been the victim of more or less guying ever since. He Is a powerful young follow and knows how to handle cattle. When the heifer turned lie planted himself squarely In front of her. Sho hesitated, eyed him furiously for a mo ment, and charged. When she lowered Iter head to glvo him tint loss Henley grasped both of her horns, throw nil tho weight of bis body on his loft hand, bearing the heifer's head Into tho snow, at the same tlmo pushing up and over the left horn. It's a trick that has to be done on tin. Instant, and . when it is worked as Healny worked It, down goes tho nnltnul, as did the heifer. Henley held her head In the snow while Hennessey and tho boys procured rones with which to tie her legs togeth- er. This being done, sho was bundled Into a sled nnd taken to Northlleld, where she now putting on fat und get ting used to her earlier surroundings.

The woman brought with her n young man, who, a relatlvo ot the boy sayr, was flat-headed and beetle-browed, nnd could In no way havo borne resemblance lo what llttlo Charlie would have been nt manhood. Sho had tho story of the disappearance pat enough how tho two children, Charlie and Walter, were decoyed from the lawn of the house, at Washington lane and Chew street, by the two men In a wagon, Moshcr and Douglass; how they wero driven Into the country, where Wnlter, tho eldor, was dropped, and how 20,000 rnnsom had been offered for tho recovery of the younger son. Other facts she seemed fnmlllar T,'lth, but her scheme had nothing else In It. Many hollevo lhe boy to bo dead, Thcro havo beon a hundred or more nllegcd Char lies, but In no Instnnco hns the father, who has traveled all over tho country, had any hope after once seeing the ulleged child or youth urodtieed. Tho secret ot his fnto probably died with the Hay Ridge burg lars, one of whom expired Immediately after being shot, while tho other lived only long enough to sny that his compnnlon had known where tho child was, that the lad was -still nllve, hut that ho himself know nothing ot his location. In nnrrntlng some ot the facts the rela tives ot the Ross family also shed more light upon the efforts to find tho boy, and made thu important statement that once, when success seemed assured, they wero frustrated by one of tho police captains of New York, a man who was charged bafore tho Lexow commltteo with having ac quired wealth by the most corrupt means. It wns there, ho says, the kidnapers had arranged to deliver their prisoner upon tho payment of tho J20,00O. They had exacted tho condition' thnt Mr. Ross and Lhoso helping lilm should lonvo New York on board a special train, a locomotive and one car, bound for Albany. At ono point nlong tho road a col6rcd lantern light was to be waved, and the money, nt this signal, was to be dropped by tho sldo of tho track. Further up the line there wns to be another light shown, nnd thcro the boy was to bo delivered to them. According to the relative's story, tho rescuing party took nlong with them an expert rllleman, with tho object ot maiming tho kidnnper, whoever ho might be, nnd then effecting his capture. They mado tho trip as directed, but nothing came of It. No lights wero shown and no other cluo was obtained. The police enp tuln lu question, the relatlvo says, gavo the tip to the thieves that the sharpshooter would bo on bourd tho car. Walter Ross, tho son who was dropped by the country side, wus married about two months ago. The United States government chemist, after an examination for tho Indian de partment, made the emphatic statement that "The Royal Unking Powder Is the purest In quality nnd highest In strength of nny baking powder ot which I have knowledge." SLIl'l'KltY STR1IKTS IN VARIS. Omnibuses Aro Totally Unmanageable nnd l'edeslrhllllsin Is Dllllcult. In no capital In Franco Is It possible to see worse, driving, particularly on the part of tho coachmen of public vehicles, such as omnibuses, cabs and carts of one kind and another, ns in Paris. Things are bad enough In this respect in line weather, but when, ns on Monday last, we receive a visitation of the dreaded verglns, tho state of affairs in the streets deveiopes into a Rnndcinontum, says a correspondent ot tho 'ew York Tribune, Verglns is a combina tion of sleet and rain, that freezes as quickly ns it touches the ground and con verts the usphnlt and wooden pavement into one vast sheet of Ice. As It Invar iably comes without warning, the horses nre not prepared for It, nnd their shoes nro not roughed, the consequence being thnt they flounder about in nil directions. Many of them came to grief and lay on the ground. Others stumbled slowly nlong, led by their drivers, whose feelings, for once, in a way, were too deep for wonls. Omnibuses nnd heavy vehicles of every kind wero totally unmanageable wherever there was the slightest Incline, and it must be remembered that Paris Is, like Rome, built upon hills. Any attempt to put on brakes made the omnibuses skid across the Icy pavement as if on runners, nnd there was a constant series ot collis ions between conveyances thus rendered unmanageable. Of course, this visitation came In the evening, as it usually docs, and as the hackmen absolutely declined to take any fares and tho omnibuses had only one object In view, namely, that of getting back to the stable us quickly as possible, everybody who had selected that night to visit the theater or to attend any enter tainment was compelled to walk home In tho rain, ablo to keep their footing only by tying iiocket handkerchiefs or strips of cloth around their shoes, or by putting a heavy pair ot stockings over their boots. This verglns Is the ono visitation which gets tho best of Parlslnn equanimity. As a rule, nothing can upset the latter. Par isians are accustomed to make fun of everything, to find In all things a comlo element, a subject of merriment. Tho only exception to this ruto Is the dreaded verglas.
