Fhe Interest Which a Base Ball Enthu siast Will Manliest in a Hired Player. Spectators Who Want to do AH the '•Kicking"— A Sample Game. ELL, is the hoo" doo here?" The speaker was a smooth-faced young man of stout build, who climbed up the platform seats on v'he grand stand at ',he baseball park. He held a score card in his hand as he advanced up the raised seats and prepared to take his place among some ac quaintances. He advanced the qoerry to a small man with florid complexion and curly white hair and white mustache. "If he ain't here now he will be before the end of the game. Who's going to um pire?" "Cavanaiigh.^ "That settles it. St. Paul will be robbed of another game. 1 don't like to 'kick.' but we can't play any nine men and the umpire and expect to get away with them. The odds are too heavy." "Halloo, boys." remarked a tall and lean individual, whose years were numerous and whose traces of advanced age were like wise most apparent: "who'll beat to-day? No one answered his question, as at that time Crooks, of the MINNEAPOLIS TEAM, made a good "pick-up" of a hot gronnder. and sent it spinning over to the first base man. The members of the crowd in the fraud stand not only saw the play, but likewise manifested their appreciation of the same by the clapping of hands. "I don't" understand it." said the fat man. "The St. Paul team is the best in the league, there is no doubt of that, and yet eets whipped right alone. It must be hard luck and the umpire. Now you take most any of the eames lately and the St. Paul players make more base hits than their opponents and fewer errors, and yet they are defeated. They don't bunch their hits, that's all there is to it. A clear case of luck." '•How are you betting, Alike?" queries a delicate-looking man with a full black beard of a chubby little fellow, with an Irish cast of countenance. "I never bet against the boys." answered Mike. "I have only sot thirty up to-day. I'm afraid of Sowders, that Minneapolis pitcher. He's too slick for our boys, some way or another." At this juncture the grand stand is well filled and the seats to the right and left of the stand are also occupied. THE UMPIItE comes to the front, brushes away the dirt from the home plate and prepares to start ' f -^ Mie game. He s recognized .)>• the spec tators, whoie member that he has um pired most of the games in whi ch the home club has suffered de feat. They tes tify disap proval of his past conduct by yelling ••rats," or advising bin to "take a walk." They also banter him on being a '•chomp," or insinuate that he is "no good.*' These little remarks are made loud enough to reach his ears. They are intended to humiliate him. He calls "play" and the game begins. The visitors are retired in one-two-three order, the most ordinary catch or stop of the home players eliciting the most enthusiastic applause, while similar plays on the part of the visit ors as they whitewash the home team tai to arouse the least enthusiasm. Several innings are pla\ed and the score shows that Minneapolis has FOVU BCHS to its credit, while St. Paul has but three. There is a close decision. The umpire de cides against the home players. Derisive cries greet him on every hand. It is a com bination of "rats." "not out," "put him out." "tire him" and similar expressions. The decision is so close that the captain of the St. Paul nine feels called upon to make an explanation. He does so, aud as a consequence the game is temporarily dis continued. The players are at rest. The delay does not please the crowd. Cries of "play ball," "quit kicking" and "hire a hall"' are wafted out on the air. The um pire refuses to accept any explanation and the game goes on. "They don't seem to get on to that Sowders," said a Minneapolis man. "He pitches too quick for them. The St. Paul players can't find hiui. Look! he is fan ning them all out." The Minneapolis man was tall and his black eyes Hashed, as he witnessed the sac cess of the Minneapolis pitcher. "Say," said he, "the St. Paul hitters can't tind him, can they? I've heard a good deal about Wilmot and Cleveland's HAI'.D HITTING, but I never saw any of it when Sowders was pitching. They may be abie to pound a«y common pitcher, but they don't seem to be able to tind him." "Hit him hard, Cleve," yelled out a local euthusiast, as Cleveland stepped to the home plate and took up a bat. He struck %t the ball and missed, and a second time he fanned the air while the ball shot by him. "He can't find it," exclaimed the Minne apolis spectator, in evident glee at the striker's poor luck. "He can't hit Sowders. None of them can find him."' Cleveland struck a third time and the bat struck the ball fair and square. The ball flew into the air over the fence, while the batsman ran leisurely about the bases. The Minneapolis spectator looked sad. "That Sowders is a great pitcher." re marked a St. Paul man near by. "They don't seeiu to be able to tind him, do they?" "Well!" chimed in a second St. Paul man "Cleveland seemed to find it, or did 4 my •yes deceive me." "He found something, for I heard the noise. I guess he found Sowders." "So Sowders was lost, was he?" The Minneapolis man got up and changed his seat. He was quiet the rest of the game. The nine innings were played and the Minneapolis team still had four runs and St. Paul but three. The game was at an end and the Minneapolis players were again successful. "There he is," said a St. Paul man. "He came too late to do us any good." "Who is he?" asked a second. "Our hoodoo." The hoodoo was a well-built man. with blue eyes, light hair and a light-colored mustache. He was well dressed. "I'm too late," said the hoodoo, address ing the group of newspaper men. "I couldn't get out before. That is the first game I ever saw the St. Pauls loseu After I got here the Minneapolis players did not make a run. 1 did that much for our boys, j even if 1 did not pull them through. ? As the spectators made a rush for the gate the occupants of the grand stand threw the cushions, which had served to modify the seventy of the hard seats, at those who , surged around in front <>i the grand stand. I The latter took them upaud tossed them: { back. The carriages, buggies and specta tors moved out rapidly," as did also the I players, and soon the grounds were de serted. THE SEASHQUE GIRL. A Dear, Delightful Creature, Who is Alternately Written Up an.i Doavii. . Boston Record. It is conceded at the swell placet that sea bathing is no longer good form, and at Bar Harbor, where the water is too cold, and at Newport, where the inhabitants are too English for such demonstrations, the sea shore girl must depend for that elusive quality which is the most potent element of her attraction upon points of dress and driv ing, or on accomplishments in the minor athletics of hill-climbing or tennis-playing. But the unspoiled, uncouventionalized, un deseashored girl is to be seen in her best glory at some of the unfashionable resorts, to be found, for example, at Martha's Vine yard. And the camp meeting girls are the most delightful of all. They go in for bathing with an abandon and an enjoyment that quite outdistances the languid pleasure of the hotel-staying girls, or the earnest, mind-improving young women who haunt the summer institute held in Aeassiz hall. The camp meeting maiden, who goes into the water at 11 o'clock, after a . morning prayer meeting, or at 4 o'clock alter arous ing afternoon sermon, seems to hud a spe cial savor in the salt waves. There is a pretty little Baptist sister down at Vineyard Highlands this summer who is enough to reconcile the most worldly minded of mortals to the sectarian sign, •'Baptist Landing," whicn hangs above the wharf beside which she bathes. She dives off the end of that wharf with the humility of a little saint, and floats in twenty feet of water with no pride whatever. She paddles the babies about in the shallow water and teaches the timorous old maids and matrons how to fall off the raft with ease if not with the courage and grace which she her self shows. It is needless to say that she is from an inland state, and that this is her first season at the shore. Doubtless another year will take away from her delight and so from her charm. Some one will tell her that it is no longer thought just the thing for nice girls to bathe, and she will go back to her fresh water lake with an idol shattered and her fun half spoiled. She may shed a salty tear or two over the pretty blue and white suit which is now her joy, and she may swim again, but never for a second season with the pure delight of her first. Now she is that rare thins, a type, a type of that slowly disappearing creature, a genuine seashore girl. SLIDING AT SPELLING. The Gar Soldiers nad Their Ladies ill Indulge in Tobogganing This Winter. The people of Fort Snelling are for the most part of a nomadic sort; they are wan derers on the face of the earth, but their tents once pitched in the Northwest, they for get their half-Spanish existence in Texas and Arizona, their completely social life in the East, the flowery life of California and the no life at all of the South, and become alto- { gether Northvvesterners. ! That is, they be come possessed of two leadiug impulses, to evolve brilliant business enterprises and to enjoy themselves. Last winter Fort Snell ing depended much for its outdoor, sports on St. Paul; but this winter it proposes to be gay and healthy at home. To do this it must have drives, a skating rink and a toboggan slide. It has the drives. The fort boulevard is a standing temptation to every man who owns a good horse, and now it proposes to add the rink and the toboggan slide. A club is already forming. " The gentlemen are making calculations as to how good a slide they can afford, and the ladies are devising a uniform such as shall suit every age, style and complexion. • Two sites for the slide are now under consideration; one of these is a long hill leading from the rear of the headquarters building to near the level of the river. It is very steeu, has a dangerous declivity on the river side and is not very convenient. Un the other hand it presents a slide almost ready made, it is long and its steepness otters a spice of adventure. The second site is one running from the post guard house back indefinitely toward head quarters. To utilize this it would be neces sary to construct a trestle work about one hundred yards in length and with a height, at its extremity, of some fifteen to twenty live feet. This would stive a slide of 500 yards and a fall o' about fifty or sixty feet. A committee will be appointed to give the matter a thorough study, and to consult with builders of toboggan slides in St. Paul. One thing that is bound to make the fort slide popular with the fort people and their town visitors. is the fact that the usual walk to the top of the slide will be dispensed with, and the tobogganers carried back in "escort wagons'' placed on runners. These will be drawn by four mules, and drivers will be provided by the fort. The skating rink for ice skating will occupy a natural hollow of almost unlimited extent just in rear of the upper plain when it will be convenient to all. The surface will be kept in the best order by daily rioodings from neighboring hydrants, and snow falls in this and the toboggan slide will De removed by the large force of military convicts. It is very fortunate that at Snelling the garrison and the headquarters are so near each other that the two can combine forces, and that there are numerous people with nothing to do but to invent and perfect amusements. The joint hops of post and garrison will continue to be held each alter nate week at headquarters hall, and with the spirit now prevailing, the . coming win ter of the military in the Northwest prom ises to be an unusually merry one. Beck. Pendleton and Cold Tea. St. Louis Republican. It long ago became the unwritten law in the senate for the chairman of the caucus to supply liquid refreshments for party con ferences. Senator Pendleton, when he was chosen chairman of the caucus, yielded , ready obedience. Senator Beck used to i laughingly remark that "it was no use for anybody to try to beat George Pendleton." An old employee, who did the sweeping and cleaning up, and who, no doubt, came in for a good share of the "refreshments" under the liberal Pendleton dispensation, thus describes the difference between then and now: "Senator Pendlum he didn't tote no keys. He dcs lef that ar sideboar' open all de time. But dat ain't senator Beck (Pendleton's successor as chairman of the caucus). He too close dat man Is. Dey don't no dram go out er dar lessen he knows it. He keep' dat key right by him. Senator Pendlom he pay for all den fine lickers what he git: Lord knows how much | money he pay oot for dat room. But sena- j tor Beck don't buy no licker; no. "deed he don't When he git out he jis sot down and rite to dem Kiutucky 'stillery men, 'Why in — -don't you sen' me rnoer dat ar whisky?' Das de way he do." Plucky Oregon We wan. Mrs. Pennington, walking near her home on Five Mile creek, Oregon, leading a 3-year-old child and carrying her baby, was attacked by a big wildcat. She pulled her revolver, disabled the beast at the first shot, and then killed it with a stick of wood. • '.

FRESH FALL FASHIONS. The Latent Tilings in Fine Gowns to be Worn by Beauty's Daughters. Homespun suits will be more in request than ever this fall and winter, says the Chi cago Herald. These simple tailor styles, for utility purposes en tirely of one fabric, with no trimming other thau stitched edges and very handsome buttous, will rule. The fabric is mostly of rough sur faced wool, either plain ly woven or in wide di agonals, and is either plain brown, gray, green or grenat, or otherwise, in blocks or stripes. The navy blue diagonals and other serges worn by young ladies who object to sober hue homespun: are trimmed with fancy wool braids in novel dinner dress. basket patterns. Basket-cloth diagonals rank still higher in the scale of tailor-made styles. There is this season a large impor tation of bordered goods of various kinds. Not only are there woven borderings, but, also, whole skirt fronts panels, tabliers, and special fabrics woven in stripes to represent rows of basket braid. Small wraps made of two, and even three, differ ent fabrics are to be fashionable. The plates presented herewith represent the latest styles in dinner and evening C^f^^j dresses. The dinner dress is with an under skirt of cream-colored satin, veiled with pearl embroidered cream tulle; fc'chu and cuffs to match. Skirt of light strawberry faiile, bordered all round with pearls. The back breadths are cut suf ficiently long to allow of them being slightly caught up here and there. A pearled motif • idorn the top of the s iodice, and the bottom ' )f it is also finished \vith pearl embroidery. KVJCamq gown, describing a peak. The evening dress has a s cirtof beautiful mauve French faiile, below which shows a narrow plaiting of very pain pink faille. That portion of the skirt seen between the train and the mauve silk is of brocade, mauve flowers on a pale pink gronnd. This is also used for the bodice, the draperies and train being of pale rose-colored faille. The draperies falling in front are trimmed with deep, white lace. The sash and ribbons falling to the side are pale pink. This is a dress of plain and striped woolen material. The skirt, which is of striped, material, plaited all roiuvi hangs over a false skirt of faille or plain woolen material, tun ique of the plain goods, show ing the right side of the skirt. The front is taken off over the right hip and trimmed with a wide revers of striped goods. On the left side it is long and draped together with the back, which forms a short pouf . Tailor jacket of plain material, cut after a regular pattern and opening over a vest of bias striped material. Velvet revers, col lar and cuffs. The jacket is open in back from the waist down; the opening is trimmed with small velvet revers. Materials: 6 yards of faille for foundation skirt; 6K yards striped material, 48 inches wide; 6 yardsof plain material, same width; 1 yard of velvet, and 12 small buttons. A pretty traveling dress is a long coat of black lace over French faille, round skirt """ <li' m of faille and waisted corsage covered with lace, with the exception of the sleeves. The corsage is closed in the cen ter. A small passementerie ornament in front, below the waist, a larger ornament in the back. The skiit forms two pleats in front, which hide when it is closed. The back falls in full pleats. The sides are trimmed with a shell pleating of lace, tight ened by three bows of faille ribbon. A hood of lace completes the wrap. It is ciosei (bias b\ three ornaments and is draped over the shoulder with similar orna- limits. 1 iie following are the materi als: Six yard; of lace flounce one yard fft^A wide, four an I one half yards of flounce to match, six inches wide; six yards of ribbon.

DON'T think ther will be as man marriages this winter as usual, remarked a police man, whose beat is in the north western section of the city, to a Washington Post reporter the other evening, as he gazed thoughtfully at the moon. "Why?" in quired the report er. "For a very good reason. I think," continued the officer. " 1 have been on duty in this section of the city for nearly ten years, and 1 have noticed that when a good many young fellows and girls are out walking and star-gazing in the fall that there are apt to be a good many marriages in the winter. 1 can tell to a certainty when a couple are engaged by the way they act." "Do they act differently from those who are not?" "Yes, indeedy. Just walk around with me a bit and I'll show you those that are engaged." They had only proceeded about halt ' a block when the reporter asked if a young man and a girl who were walking very rap idly past were lovers. "No," answered the "cop" in a tone of disgust. "That's his sister. He would never take his girl at a gait like that; but here's a pair that is engaged," said the modern philosopher, as a couple whose heads were very close to gether came along. "They are engaged." he continued. "1 know, but nobody else knows it yet. I have watched the head way they have been making for several weeks, and been glad to see he's been suc cessful, and he'll be getting a wedding ring pretty soon," "How do you know they are engaged?" "0! I can always tell by the way they look in each other's faces," he replied, as a self-satisfied look of knowing all came over his countenance. "She would never look in that way at him if they weren't, for she thinks there is not another man so good as he, and he thinks there is not another little woman like her. But perhaps they'll change their minds after they are married," and the knowing expression passed away and a look of pain came over his face, which plainly told that there was some one else in his house who knew it all and was boss, too. As the officer recovered from his reverie on domestic affairs he said: "You see, we have walked nearly four blocks and only met three young couples, while nearly every stoop has several pretty girls on it without any young man. Now, that is the sign Igo by, too. If there were going to be lots of marriages those stoops wouldn't have girls on them without young men, and if the young men meant business they would go out for a walk, for there is nothing that will make a fellow propose so soon as that," continued the soliloquizing officer, as he pointed toward the moon with his baton. "Watch the weddings this winter, and see if I ain't right," was his parting shot, as he hurried off to answer the call of the sergeant. A WOMAN'S REASON %Vliy sue uoesn'i Think Much of Strong-- in Women. ,FEEL often as if I hated men, says a writer in the Graphic. As if I had no respect for them; as if I never could have a feeling sof admiration for them ragain. Why? Simply because they act so like bags of wool. The biggest of them, the manliest of them, the loveliest of them, who have thought for years of noth ing more selfish than the comfort and hap piness of their "women folks," will stand up day after day to be batted and- cuffed, metaphorically speaking, by those they seek to protect. If 1 were a man, and my mother or my wife .went shrieking about the country demanding "her rights," and accusing men in general and those she knows personally in particular of being •'brutes," "tyrants," and "great unfeeling wretches," I'd either put her in a mad house or I'd give her a good taste of everyday life with a man who tried his best to be the "brute," and the "tyrant," and the "wretch" she alwayscalled him. Chivalry and gallantry and all those virtues are de lightful possessions, but they are to some women exactly the same that pearls are to certain animals. There are good men and there are bad men? Sisters mine, did you never reflect that there were good women and bad women? Did you never think what things men could say about us if they really set to work to be as brutaily truthful as they know how? Did you never think of the many, many phases of man-life that would show up certain phases of woman-life in no creditable light? Did you never think of the wholesale statement that there are three bad men to one bad woman and note the only possible conclusion — that one woman m ust have been concerned in the depravity of at least three men? Did you never read the Woman's Jour nal, for instance, with its load of wrongs and general oppression, and think with a shudder of the hateful, baleful, dreadful things that could be put in print if the en tire male population of North America and Great Britain turned themselves inside out every Saturday on the sins and wickedness and moral deviations of women? It may be disloyalty to my sex to confess it, but I am sure that things would see light that would put in the shade the fact that some John way out in Oregon made his wife go without a clotheswringer while he had a horserake. In all sober earnestness, I say, women, think of it! Think how we'd like to see or know of the publication of the true in wardness of some scenes from real life! Think how we'd like to read, week after week, of the women that ruined their hus bands by extravagance! Think how we'd like to read of the Deiilahs and the Mrs. Potiphars that wait in modern life on the steps of every young man with an ounce of brains and a pot of money. Think how we'd like to see in cold print the story of every mother who forgot her child, of every wife who dishonored her husband, of every giri win turned her back on the teachings and love of her home! Would they look well, do you think? Would you think that men were ''.fulfilling a noble mission to seek eternally such information and spread it broadcast? Would you not, in plain English, think they might be in better business? I am sure no woman will give this point of. view even a moment's thought without seeing at least something . which is worthy of her consideration. . . : A California Romance. Something over a generation ago the wedding bells of a California church . rang out their chimes in honor of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Peachy, says the Phila delphia times. Fortune, though not lavish, had yet not been unkind 10 them, and they began life apparently as happy as our first parents before the fall. The divinity that shapes men's ends shaped theirs so that troubles came, and with these came harsh words, misunderstandings,, aud, later, di vorce. They separated, married again, and for tweaty*five years did nut meet, but a' j few days -ago were oaUed to thoir early I home to attend the . funeral of their only child— a son. When the casket, in pursu ance Of an old custom which should have ' been abolished long ago, was opened at the I grave, the father tenderly stroked the dead boy's hair, while the gray-haired mother kissed the cold lips again and attain. But not a single . word was spoken between them. As the sexton began covering the lowered casket with ground the father turned on his heel, while t the weeping mother dropped on her knees and began to pray. Yet men call this an unroinautic age. A LOVL' OF A BONNE I*. Some of the Costly Headgear That Will Be Popular. This is the style of hat which Dame Fash ion has decreed shall be worn with a visit-' ing dress — one consisting of a round skirt of veil ing, which, together with | front, are ornamented with two rows of etamine I garniture. On the left 'side of the skirt is a panel composed of two rows of velvet ribbon. The over skirt is composed of three parts, the tablier, the drapery on the left side and the puffing. The tablier coming from the left side is long, but draped straight. Between the panel and the "puffing is a small drapery, descending in a point over the skirt, above which are two revers of brown velvet surmounting the plaiting of etamine. Short basque, pointed front, back, and opens over a V-shaped, plaited plastron of etamine, straight color of velvet aud deep revers surrounding the opening. A stylish garment is a cashmere jacket, material of embossed velvet, trimmed with a vest of faille. This design is entirely new and is very elegant. There is not so much that is positively new in the millinery line as in dress materials and styles of execution. The light straws will not give up their hold on public favor, but velvet hats and bon (iiets will be much worn this winter. As a compromise between •them coarse, dark CASHMERE JACKET. straws, which are considered "very Eng- I \\\t lish," are selected. The trimmings for these touch ing on the chill season at hand, are usually of plush or velvet, with additional gar nitures of superbly shaded autumn flowers and foliage in scarlet and gold, bronze and cardinal, olive, wine, mulberry and dahlia. Beaded bonnets are also the heighth of the demi-season, and there is some assurance that they will continue through the winter. TITANIA HAT. TheTitania hat is of fine English straw, mahogany color. The brim is slightly turned up in the back. . It is trimmed with silk muslin and aigrettes, both sulphur color. Other new styles in hats represent one ornamented with broad ribbons and two wings, and the other of transparent straw with autumn flowers and foliage. Lasting Moral Lesson. A benevolent youug lady, who had for a loag time sought to convey some lasting moral lesson to young boys • at the North end, says a Boston paper, who had been gathered into her class, while, conversing with one of the youngsters recently; re ferred to the death of his brother, when he spoke up in a tone expressive of pride and gratification: "Oh, that ain't all the dead I eot: I had 'nother brother die awhile ago." Another lad in the same class, while listening to his teacher's moral essay one day, with his eyes intently fastened on her face, interrupted her with: "Say, teacher, you hain't moved your upper jaw since you bin talkin'." Fluttering- Bonnet Ribbons. The ribbons that flutter in the breeze are varied and unusually interesting 1 . They comprise gross-grain and faille Fran caise textures, plain velvets and satins, with several fancy manufactures, and showed plain, fringed and scallop-fringed edges, picot edges of single and double cord loops, feath ers, tasseled and purl edges. Noticeable in the garnitures were the mon tures of fancy feathers finished with a wisp of bird-of-paradise feathers, while there are montures of all descriptions, birds* wings, and stuffed birds of all varieties admissible upon bonnets and hats — large, softly-stuffed birds being a feature of the hat trimming. Continual popularity is assured for jets in millinery materials, trimmings and ornaments of the season. There is a charming- assortment of combs, pins with large ball and nail beads, pins with ball heads covered with strung beads, and other fancies in verification of the existing styles. Besides, there were pins with wooden dogs' and birds' heads, simulating the feet of snull animals, and almost numberless conceits in ornaments of this peculiar kind. nodes for the Little Ones. Little children have quaint and attractive garments, after Kate Greenaway, as of yore, only they are, if anything, more picturesque than last season. Large hats will be the pre vailing fashion for children, as well as for those of older growth. Very little toddlers will be clothed in red this season, bom as to their outer wear and their dress. The round waist is a favorite corsage with young iris for these fall costumes, and is always appropriate and becoming. Turkey red is much used for trimming and making the skirt and bodice of dresses for little children from 2 to 6 years, and all-over embroidery in red and white is used for the neck aud sleeves. Some Fashion Chat. Venetian beads in great variety are coming in favor. Black silk stockings are very stylish with red shoes. In Paris most of the bonnets are worn with out strings, Colored bows to match the stockings are worn on slippers. The moonstone grows in favor for brooches and hairpins. r Short plume's tipped with pearls are revived for millinery purposes. White feathers and white pompons are shown in the greatest abundance. Laced boots, with patent leather tops, are still the stylish wear for cool weather. Ostrich plumes and tips are the leading garniture of imported bonnets and hats. Mohair braids with applique fhrarea of silk and bead edgings are novelties for : rimming. Removable hoods, fastened with silk cord, are worn with tailor-made dresses in the street. . Jet trimmings are richer than ever. Beads i cut en cabochon are novelties and are very : large. Crossed keys studded with pearls and horse shoos surrounded with pearls are favorite de signs for brooches. Id spite of the anti-plumage league, birds, wings and feathers are to have a prominent place in autumn millinery. White wings will be very popular for young : ladies on all sorts of walking and driving bats, but not upon dressy bonnets.
