WALSH'S OPPORTUNITY, Hut Ho Failed to S<-i/.e It in the Ninth. Omaha. April I!'.— To-day's game Was witnessed by fully 0.000 people, and proved to be an exciting game. Both Clark and Vickery were batted hard, and two and three baggers were the order of the day. But Vickery re deemed himself, and, by his coolness in the latter part of the frame, won it for Milwaukee. In the ninth inning Omaha had three men on i>:t-«'s, when a short hit to Vickt-ry put out Halligan at the plate, and the batter at tirst. Again were the liases filled, but Walsh stepped up and fanned the air three time?, and the frame was at an end. The feature of the game was the fielding of both teams. Score: n. n. b.

B The Royal Baking Powder in the New York Legislature. New York Press, April 13. Last Monday Mr. Kelly introduced the following bill in the assembly. A careful reading of it will show that it Is a veiy important one: Whereas, Baking Powders manufac tured in this state, known as the "Royal," Alum and other baking pow ders, are advertised for sale as abso lutely pure, and. Whereas, Official examinations show them to contain ammonia and other in jurious ingredients; therefore, the People of the state of New York, represented in the Senate and As sembly, do enact as follows: Section 1. Every can or package of baking powder containing ammonia and offered for sale in this state shall have a conspicuous label thereon with the words "Contains Ammonia" printed thereon in plain type, not smaller than great primer, and any person who shall have or offer for sale without such label thereon shall be guilty of a misde meanor. Section 2. This act shall take effect July Ist, IS9I. MADE THEM LIE DOWN. A Horse Thief Hobs His Would-Be Captors With Wonderful Ease. Kansas City Star. 1. J. Somers' a sewing machine agent living at Lee's Summit, was driving in ('ass county, about four miles west of llarrisonville, yesterday morning, when he passed a man driving a horse and cart. Somers recognized the horse and cart as property that had been described as stolen, and as a reward of $50 had been ottered by the Anti-Horse Thief association for the capture of the man or the property, Somers determined to do some capturing. Ho stopped at a farmer's house and endeavored to bor row a gun. The farmer did not have one, but joined Somers. and the two drove on to the next farm. Here they also tailed to get a gun, and driving on they met the man in the road endeavor ing to sell the horse to another farmer. There being three of them, they felt bold, and the farmer with Somers spoke up and told the horse thief that lie might ! as well surrender. At this the thief laughed loud and long, Drawing a large, ; old-fashioned Colt's revolver from his pocket, he commanded Somers and the farmer with him to get out of Somers' two-horse wagon and then made the three men lie down with taces to the i ground and abo at ten feet from each other. He then proceeded to search them. He found nothing in the fanners' pockets, but took a silver watch, 12.50 in money, several society badges and other small articles from Somers. got into Somers' rig and drove away. Somers and the farmers then got up. The thief had left the horse and cart, but the horse ran away, and Somers and Farmer No 1, who went after it, did not catch it until it had broken the cart to pieces. Then they walked into Lee's Summit leading the stolen horse Mr. Somers had started to capture. A posse from Lee's Summit spent last night in searching for the thief, but did not find him. This morning, however, Mr. Somers' horse walked home with the wagon in jjood condition. It is supposed the thief turned them loose to avoid being caught, and came to Kansas City on loot. He is de scribed as a man about twenty-six years old, 5 feet 7 inches high, medium build, with a light mustache, dark clothes and dark cowboy hat with leather band, and, according to Mr. Somer3,. "the coolest man on earth.'' THE SAINT TAUL DAILY GLOBE: MONDAY MOKNIXG, APRIL ao, i^n. AMONG THE HORSES. Runners Getting Into Shape Very Slowly at the Louis ville Track. Tenny Will Not Start In Either the Brooklyn op the Suburban. Inspector Byrnes, of New York, Pays His Compli ments to Dwyers. Ed Rosewater Changed From Pacer to Trotter by Means of Hobbles. Betting on the big spring handicaps is becoming heavy and the Eastern books ar.e flooded with orders. Up to Tues day, when the report of his breakdown was published, Tenny was favorite for both the Brooklyn and Suburban. There is no doubt that Pulsifer backed his famous swayback aud did not anticipate any injury to his horse, for the opening price of 10 to 1 was rapidly cut to (5 to 1. Banquet, Judge Morrow and Prince Royal have had the most sup port for the Brooklyn during the week, the latter and Burlington being quoted at 8 to 1 each. That lawyer's money alone forced the penal ters to shorten the prices against Prince Royal and Banquet is almost certain, but that Judge Morrow's figure has fallen fifteen points proves that both his owner and the public have made big in vestments on his chances. For the Sub urban the odds against some of the outsiders have been raised from 50 to 100 and :200 to 1, while those quoted against the favorites have fallen in some instances thirty points. The most re markable change is noticed in the bet ting against King Thomas and Pagan, their pri?es having been reduced from 100 to :r> and 50 to 1 respectively. The cause for the King Thomas plunge is not known. It is an es tablished fact, however, that stable money lowered the price of Pagan, for Pierre Lorillard's commis sioner has openly attacked every book offering odds on the event. Raceland the famous gelding purchased by Mich ael F. Dwyer at the sale of the late August Belmout's stable, lias been turned out at Gravesend. He pulled up lame while running prominently in last year's Suburban. The same leg having shown signs ot weakness re cently, Dwyer deemed it wise to stop his training, and the great horse will, it is said, be fired and blistered. This means that Itacelaud will scarcely be seen on the turf again before next fall. Dwyer was hopeful that he would show the same great turn of speea this year that he possessed when he romped home winner of the Suburban handicap of 1889. TENNY IS OUT. The Swayback Pulls Up Lame After a Trial. New York. April IS.-D.T. Pulsifer's game race horse Tenny, by Rayon dOr out of Belle of Maywood by Hunter's Lexington, the favorite for both the Brooklyn and Suburban handicaps, is out of training for the present. The horse worked a slow mile in a little less than two minutes Thursday and pulled up a trifle lame In the off hind leg. On Friday he was still sore, the trouble be ing in the coronet, and Trainer "Snip" Donovan knew that his hopes of win ning either of the big handicaps were blasted. Since then the great five year-old has been on the track but twice, trotting slowly once around the circuit on the first occasion and twice around yesterday morning. Tenny has hardly disappeared from the turf for ever. There is no doubt about his not being seen set Gravesend or Morris Park nor yet at Sheepshead Bay, but the chances are greatly in favor of Tenny's racing during the Moumouth meeting, and it would be good betting at even money that he will face the starter t>e lore the close of 1801. The trouble is an old one and first showed itself in ISB'J. Alter Ins bruising race with Kingston and Kaceland .in the first special at Gravesend. when he was six or seven lengths out of the race on the upper trrn, but was only beaten a length by Kings ton and a nose by Raceland in phenom enal tirce, it will be recalled by those who saw the race that Tenny faltered at the haystack and dropped back in the most unaccountable fashion, having twisted one of his plates, and it must have wrenched the coronet, for he showed lame after the race, and was re tired for the year. He came out as fast as a lion and as sound as a hickory whip last spring, and at Morris Park was in vincible, carrying all kinds ot weights, and running on all sorts of tracks. In the Labor Day stakes at Sheepshead Bay.in the autumn, he once more pulled up lame. Thursday last Tenny went lame lor the third time. Money bet on Tenny for the Brooklyn or Suburban handicap is so much fat for the book makers, as Mr. Pulsifer has announced that the five-year-old is out of both events. Mr. Pulsifer will not be without a representative in the Brooklyn handi cap, although his good horse," Tenny is out of tho race. He still has the tour-year-old Onaway, by Onanda ga, who raced as a two-year-old, but was not seen on the turf last year. Onaway is doin g everything that his owner can ask of him in his training at Morris Park, and Mr. Puisifer has put SIOO on him at long odds in the Brooklyn handicap. He has also placed $100 on Firenzi for the Suburban, as. with 'Jenny out. he deems her the most formidable candidate. SCORES THE DWYERS. Inspector Byrnes Jumps on the Famous Racers. New York, April 10.— Inspector Byrnes evinced no desire to withdraw any of the statements credited to him by the newspapers in relation to the Dwyer Bros, when a correspondent saw him to-day. "This pool selling business on alleged races which are only run to deceive tiie public is rapidly becom iug a confounded nuisance," said the inspector, "and 1 have determined to take advantage of every available means to suppress it. '•In reference to my statements re flecting upon the Dwyers, 1 reiterate them now, and 1 say more, that these men are no more entitled to respect or consideration than any other horsemen who pose as patrons of such institutions as the Gutteuburg race track. Plenty of evidence can be obtained to prove that they are nothing less than racing sharps, ready to put up any kind of a job that will serve to enrich them at the expense of a too confiding public. They run strings of horses, not in the inter est 01 promoting honest sport, but rather to swindle the people who bet money. There is not a prominent pool room keeper in this city who has not been associated with the famous or in famous brothers in jobs which enabled them to filch money from trusting bet tors. I still contend that under the provisions of the Ives pool bill betting on races anywhere except on the race track is illegal, and, aided l>y the dis trict attorney, 1 intend to have every poolseller at the bar to plead to indict ments framed under the provisions of the Ives law." FROM PACER TO TROTTER. Remarkable Change Made in Ed Rosewater. In 1888 a startling pacer, two years old and rather unfashiouably bred, stepped off a mile in 2:202 iat Council Bluffs, 10. The track there is goo<i, but the locality of the performance ar>d the breeding of the youuirster caused more than ordinary attention to be directed to it. The pacinc colt's namu was Ed Rose water, and ho was an entiie son of Vasco, dam Mary ii. by Vinco. He was bred and owned in Omana, and named after the veteran editor of the Bee of that city. Ed Ilosewater didn't train on in ISS'X He had only one race that year, winning it in straight heats, the best of which was in 2:2t». Last year he had six races at the pacine gait and won two. Grant's Abdallah beat him a bruising four-heat race at Independence, 10., in August, Rose water winning the first heat in 2:2l}£, aud being beaten in 2:20^,2:18% and 2:19. Then he fell off form until September, when he was second three times at Dubuque, 10., to the phenome nal red aud branded pony pacer Ji B, in 2356& 2:l9J£ and 2 :29. Later he won a heat in 2:25 at Council Bluffs, but was distanced in the second. His pacing performance and gait grew worse as he went along, and it was determined to convert him. Secretary Nat Brown, of Union I'ark. Omaha, was here a few days ago and said that PM Rosewater's conversion to the trotting gait had been accomplished very easily and by a little work with the hobbles. The colt, now four years old. will be eutered early in the green trotting classes. He is said to be much smoother of gait than he was when going from one side to the other, aud almost as fast. XELSOX RULED OFF. The Horseman anil His Eqnine Namesake Have Two Barriers. At this time Nelson and his equine namesake, with his record of 2:10^4, are ruled off all around, and the former knows it and denies that he has ever stated that Nelson will trot ou Ameri can association tracks this year. Pres ident D. C. Beamaii, of the American association, also straightens the case out, in his way, by a letter declaring that C. H. Nelson, having been ex pelled for fraud by the National Trot ting: association, is disqualified from competing on American association tracks. The law is self enforcing and can only be removed temporarily by the president of the association or perman ently oy the board of appeals. No such application has been made, yet there are tide signs which lead well-posted authorities to believe that Nelson and his horse will be seeu on Western tracks certainly, and perhaps on Eastern courses this year. The National Trotting association is expected to fine and reinstate both man and horse, and if it does Judge Beaman outlines the association's course by writins: "Whether, in the event that the national association should, in vio lation of its own by-laws, attempt to re move an expulsion for fraud, such action would operate to reinstate on American association tracks, is a question which, so far as 1 know, has never been decided by this association." The Nelson case is of deep interest to all trotting horse men. Oddly enough, thi Maine breeders have elected Nelson as one of the delegates to the breeders' convention at Chicago. April 22. With him is associated ex-tJov. Dr. A. M. Gar celon. The convention that elected Nelson thought that the chances were that "Nelson would not be received." BACKWARD AT LOUISVILLE. Runners There Getting Into Shape Very Slowly. Sam Bryant says that horses trained lv Louisville are more backward this year than at any other time iv his twen ty-three years' experience. For this reason it is probable that horses trained at Memphis will have a little the best of it until the racing season has advanced beyond the dates of the Kentucky meet ings. As to the prospect for Louisville and Lexington Col. Clarke says: "Never in the history of racing has the support of racing enterprises been so enthusi astic as it is now. In the East racing i 3 a fashion. In Kentucky it amounts to a superstition. All people of the state would regard the decadence of racing as an ill-omen. You may change a fashion easy enough, but it is hopeless to attempt to eradicate a superstition, so. whatever may be the future of horse racing in other patts ot the country, iv Kentucky it will only die with Ken tuckians. I have written and said a good many tilings against the indul gence in betting by the officials of a race track, particularly the judges. I am thinking of extending the crusade to include newspaper men. I don't think reporters should be allowed to bet. because i don't think they can write an impartial account of a race in which they are financially interested. If their horse is beaten they often think something is wrousr, and write things that are not justilied. If their horse wins they are apt to omit mentioning anything of a questionable character connected with his winning if there should be any such circumstances." Application for stablinc has been made for nearly 600 horses during the Louis ville meeting. This is an unprecedented number. ENTRIES FOR TO-DAY. Probable Starters at Memphis and Guttenburg.

He was one of the truest and gamest racers that ever looked through a bridle. Some or the races he won were phenomenal for fast bits and enmeness.". j Prince liegent won $7,500 la>t season, and -C. . j J. llamlia refused •Senator Stanford's offer ' of $50,000 for him, and refused to make a price. Sunql's 1«W career was not glorious. Not only did she show as a crank, but she most signally failed to get dangerously close to Maud S"s 2:o^ mark. She is again being ad vertised to beat Maud's record, and U sized up as being far superior to Nelson, S'.amboul, Nancy Hanks, McDoel aud Allerton. Kd Geers' ISM stable will be formidable in pacers. He will have Brown Hal, Hal Pointer and Duplex, the latter a sensational per former with a fondness for split beats. Then, too. Cieers will drive C. J. Hamliu's trotters aud a pacer or two from Village Farm. Banquet., Prince Royal and Judge Morrow are being barked for tließrooKlyn handicap. Banquet's price has gone from :*0 to 20, Judge Morrow's from 30 to la, aud Prince Royal's from 10 lo 8. The Dwyers' money caused the Banquet and Prince Royal reduction. Andy McDowell, who drove Cricket and Margaret S so effectively last year, will bring the Daly trotters from Montana this season. In the stable are Lord Byrou, Prodigal, Sen ator. Fantasia, Huttie D and Deputy, trotters, aud Yolo Maid and St. Patrick, pacers. It is quite likely, if rumors from the best sources contain a grain of truth, that at the National Trotting association meetinjr April - J3, C. H. Nelson and his fast nors« will be heavily n'ned aud reinstated. : Padishah. 4. by St. Sultana, Is brokeu down. lie was patched and gave out under hard work at Washington.

Longstreet and Ban quet. New interest will be added to ' events iv which they start. The $10,000 stake for 2:20 trotter* has been renewed by the Hartford association. The $5,000 purse for the 2:19 pacers will also be repeated. The entry fee is 5 per cent, and entries close May 11. The talk about Lorenzo's chances for the Kentucky Derby increases daily in volume. The colt is a big. slashing fellow, by Tea Broeck, and won his only two races at Nash ville last year. . Tea Tray is doing badly, and Burlington more than well in his early work for the Brooklyn handicap. The experts figure, too, that both Al Farrow and Teuton have great chances. ■ Starter Caldwell earns about $35,000 In twelvemonths. He is paid $200 per day for his Guttenburg work, and 8130 per day for that of the summer when there is competi tion. . The Chicago Derby candidate Lodowic, owned by U. Shippee, by Longfellow, out of Carrie Phillips, by Pat Neally. is racing at San Francisco, and has won a purse already. "Pittsburg Phil" laughs at the story that he is $75,000 behind his game against the Guttenburg bosks. Two weeks ago he was $50,000 behind but has got part of it back. - The first of the big trotting stakes to close its entries was the Detroit $10,000 purse for the 2:24 class, Wednesday. Walter E, the Western geiding, won last year's stake. The Chicago Derby will be worth about $19,000 to the winner, with a dozen starters, and there is more likely to be more than less than twelve. Porter Ashe will match Geraldina to run Racine a five-furlong match. The Palo Alto folks would agree to a match of seven fur longs.

Spokane Spokesman. "Strange tiling, indeed," said Theo Hansen to a little group of smokers in the lobby of the Spokane last night. "What's that, Ilausen'.'" spoke up one of the group. . ■'•We buried an old Italian last week down on the Columbia, who died, well, of starvation, we all think. About fif teen years ago Acoino Demineck and his wife, fresh from Italy, arrived in our section and selected a spot in the ragged cliffs of the Columbia range, where they made their home. »For some time he followed trapping and hunting for a livelihood, but when game grew scarce, as civilization advanced, he branched off into fanning, which he followed up to three years ago. Deminick was a sculptor of rare abil ity. One day when in the mountains after a long search he came across a square of marble. Taking it to his home he began the work of an imagin ary form— the form of a woman. For eighteen months he worked away at odd times until the stone began to as sum« the proportions he desired. This far along he became more ajtentive to his work, and the features, one at a time, were soon made to stand out in strong resemblance to a living being. At last the form was finished, and only desired the breath of God to be put to the nostrils to make It a beautiful type of woman. "He had achieved a wonderful un dertaking. So attached did he become to the shapely piece of stone that he gave little attention to his wife, and often would go for days without eating anything. He became disagreeable, and three months ago turned his wife out to go where she might. She came to our camp one evening as -we were preparing supper, and told her sad story. 1 gave her permission to stay with us until something could be done, and she has never left the house until the day of .the funeral, when she followed the remains of her husband to the grave. "He had actually devoted so much time to admiring his idoal form that he could find no time for his meals,' and consequently died of starvation last week." "The stone was placed at the head of his grave in a grassy spot on the banks of the Columbia, and marks the resting place of a Pygmalion whose work would have been a Galatea had it turned from its marble state to that of flesh." Progress. It is very important in this age of vast material progress that a remedy be pleasing to the taste and to the eye, easily taken, acceptable to the stomach and healthy in its ' nature and effects. Possessing these qualities, Syrup of Figs is the one perfect laxative and most gentle diuretic known. ~«» What Men Will Fight Over. Judge.

Bab Tells What Women En dure to Reach Fashion able Eminence. How Mr. and Mrs. Ryder Hag gard Created a Favorable American Impression. Authors as They Look in Por traits—Latest Style in Chess Playing. The Eternal Sarah Looking and Acting: About the Same as Ever. We hear every day of people who get black and blue in their efforts to climb the social ladder. We hear of people who are scornfully spokeu of as among the "social climbers," and every now and then somebody wonders if they will reach the height to which they are climbing. They will if they have skins like hippopotamuses and plenty of money; if they do not mind being snubbed by a woman, and then ap proaching her the next day with a smile, expecting another snub, willing to take it, and yet to smile the day after. They must also learn that two kicks down the rounds of the ladder which they wish to climb must only give them an impetus to fly up tive more. They must be willing to spend money, and spend it in ereat quantities, and they must run after a lion, try to capture him, and exhibit him in golden chains in their drawing rooms; but, above all, they must feed their guest 9 well, and that is where the social climber too often makes a mistake. Mrs. Blueblood can afford to offer her euests pale claret cup and wafers, but Mrs. Climber cannot content hers with anythine less than fizz, terrapin and game. To make her people satisfied with themselves, she must give them of the best in the land. Her reward? Well, it is iv the hereafter. When she gets where she wants to go, when she has reached the height of bliss, she can snub women who are trying to follow her example, and she can cut off her visiting list all those who helDed her in her early struggles, but whom she counts as belonging to tha ineligibles nowadays. There are always a few women who will not assist the climber, no matter how much money she may spend, or how entirely she may submit to being kicked— metaphorically, of course. One delightful woman here will con trol the people who visit at her house, and once, when a well known climber went up to her and said, "I am going to do myself the pleasure of edmine to your next Tuesday," she was looked at through a pair of lorgnettes by a pair of piercing gray eyes, and the answer came with beautiful clearness, "I do not admit to my house people who are not on my visiting list." Another woman, who thought that by gushing and giving a great deal ot" per sonal information she could get to where she wished, grew very familiar with a young married woman and said to her, "I wonder that you use rouge; 1 didn't know anybody but the demi-monde did that." With a sweet smile th« haughty young matron answered, "You are very fortunate in knowing anything about their habits or them; my acquaintances have always been in a different set." As this was audible to the entire room, the wouid-be familiar friend was most beautifully cut. That woman is an abomination upon the face of the earth who goes around gossiping to the rest of womankind about the habits, costumes and special friends of women of the otner «r«rld. She can never really account creditably lor this knowledge, and her listener has a perfect right to conclude that she has acquaintances among them, although it is most probable she has gathered her stories from different men. American women are learning to do like their Fr«nch sisters— i. c., to entirely ignore these ladies, and when they meet them, to stare as blankly as if there was no material figure near them. This is the sort of the woman of the world, who never sees the disagreeable in life. It is probable that nobody has left such a pleasant impression of himself — that is. no English body — as Rider Hag gard. He was only here a little while, but during that time both he and his wife were made much of and enter tained, and they showed that they thor oughly liked it. Wide travel has taken away from them the insular prejudices of the aver age English, and they are prepared to meet the pleasant suiilewith a pleasant, not condescending one, and to find good wiierever goodliness and kind liness are to be met. Mrs. Haggard is a most devoted wife, her husband's companion wherever he goes, and so pleased were they with the peo ple whom they saw in New York that ttiey think of returning this way to meet their new friends again. Haven't you a great liking lor the man who wrote "King Solomon's Mines" and "Cleopatra?" And haven't you a great scorn for those people who. worn out mentally, talk of imagination as if it were a language that could be learned rather than a gift straight from God at one's birth? And dou't you think these same priggish writers, who will give you reams on the family purse discuss womau's position in thepolitt cai world, whether society women ought to wear low-neck gowns, minis ters white ties and actors fur-lined overcoats, would ba much more desira ble if they had a little imagination? Don't you suppose that all the people who have eiven deiicht in books, trom Shakespeare to Mother tioose, have been people of vivid imagination? It makes me feel as If 1 should like to be John L Sullivan and fell to the earth those common-place, matter-of-fact critics who dip their pens in aid and write words that mark them asses. How soon, under the cloak of charity, will a game ot chess be played with the pieces represented by the handsomest of women and the best-looking of men, with small children as pawns? It is the last fad in London and the crush to see the game was something marvelous. The costumes were founded on dresses of the Tudor period, were perfect in every detail, while tiie red king and queen" wore absolutely superb. The came was played by two expert chess players and long gold wands were used to touch the pieces as a cue for their moving. This was done in the most stately way, a pe culiar, slow step being chosen and ad hered to by all. It is a novel idea, and whoever first gets it up here will cer tainly make much money for whatever charity it may be played for. The most religious persons in the world can't ob ject to it,as they might to a game of pok er, while the artist who delights in pic turesque effects iv seeing beautiful women beautifully gowned will have a mar velous treat for his eyes offered to him at what seems a marvelously low price. Mme. Sarah, as she has announced she prefers to be called, is once more with us, and once more her marvelous personality has to be acknowledged. Putting aside for a moment her great genius, forgetting for awhile how she really makes you feel that she is tho character she represents, what woman is there tn-day who has such a strong individuality, an individuality indeed hat extends over the world? Peo ple who have never heard or never thought of the czarina of Russia read eagerly every word that is written about Mme. Sarah. People who dou't care about the toppling of thrones or the uprisjng of nations seek for the last new criticism of a play in which she has performed, of the "last book that she has approved, or the last picture that has pleased her. It is ihe woman who commands this, and this very fact ought to bring her greater de light than if it were the genius, for it proves that, different fro:n all other women, she yet has a kingdom— that of the world— and her subjects are all over it. No woman has ever controlled the fashions as she has. and that is saying more than much. She has been written of by the greatest writers of fctoe day: she has be«m painted by tfie best-known artists, and though they come and go, they are here to-day and there to-mor row. Mme. Bernhardt, like the sphinx, is the same. Except that she is better looking now than when she first came to us, there is but little change in her, and the report of the fat, one is pleased to chronicle, is simply a filling up of the angles that is most becoming. A man asked me if I could understand her. He m ght as well have asked me if 1 bad a secret of that woman who looks out on tlie Egyptian sands, who was old when Cleopatra was young, and who has never opened her lips to dis close that which she knows so well. There lias never been a woman like Mme. Bernhardt before. She, like the orchid in its finest state of cultivation, is the production of the nineteenth century. People talk about Kachel— of her wonderful genius, of the tragedy that her life was, but it can never be said of her as it is of Sarah, that she is mistress of anything s*ie wants to control. lam firmly con vinced that if to-morrow Sarah con cluded to go in for grand opera she would rival I'atti, and the whoie world would be convinced that there had never been such a voice. Madame Sarah is a woman of successes and to success every human being in this world must bow down— that is, this sort of success, the success of the intellect. It's the time of year when people don't feel very well and complain of being tired; when the massage woman tells you in broken English that all the people in this country are '"so," and raises her hauds up high and then puts them way d»wn. and you realize that she means tfcftt one extreme or other, as far as health er happiness is concerned. But we all do get tired. I am tired hearing the weather dis cussed. are tired of discussing it. 1 am tired of hearing people who don't know the first meaning of consideration wonder whether other people live up to their creeds. You are thed of knowing that they don't. I am tired of hearing women talk, talk, talk about nothing but them seives, their gowns and their admirers. You are tired of being among tliose women. 1 am tired ot clergymen who trouble themselves about everything but the poor of their parish. You are tired of being the poor. I am tired of men who talk well and act badly. You are tired of knowing the truth about them. lam tired of politicians who write their promises in the saud. You are of seeing the great ocean come up aud wash them away. lam tired of seeing children who don't respect their parents. You are tired of seeing parents who do not con sider their children. But there, we will get over the tired feeling after a while. We will take a dose of quiniue and sunshine combined, and we will discover that thero are things in this world that are good and of which we never tire— books, babies, sweets, dogs, picturss, music and srood acting. We agree about this. Please don't say you are tired of Bab. DIXIXGWITH DISCRIMINATION Juliet Curson Treats Dinner From a Physiological Standpoint. Juliet Corson in Harper's Bazar: If one desires to dine with physiological discrimination the meal should begin with a few uncooked oysters or clams, which are immediately stimulating, nu tritious and digestible; both oysters and seafish contain a tonic q lautity of iodine and are good nerve foods. With the exception of cayenne, the earlier dishes should be mildly seasoned; the entrees may become piquant gradually; the ice or Roman punch refreshes the tissues of the mouth and throat which have been heated by the food and some what inflamed or, rather, stimulated ; the liquid coolness counteracts those fever ish conditions, and prepares the palate for the flavor of the roast or broiled game. Th« accompanying salad greatly enhances the intense flavor ot tho roast, while the condiments ana salad oil favor digestion. The dessert sweets tend to regulate the combina tion of the nutritive elements In the blood, exercising a chemical action not yet thoroughly understood. Black coffee or tea without milk has an astringent effect — that i?, it contracts the mucous membrance of the digestive organs, interfering with the flow of the gastric and intestinal fluids, and thus retarding digestion. When their effect is desirable, the warmth and stimulus derived from either of those beverages can be replaced by drinking a glass of hot milk and water, swallowed as hot as possible, in large sips, and there is no handicap, as with the tea or coffee. The milk soothes the sensitive digestive tract, which may be disturbed by other foods, and the hot water is sanative; the milk taken without the water would become a solid food directly it encoun tered the gastric juice, thus lacking the necessary liquid quantity. Children not yet full grown, and In valids who are convalescing favorably from some exhaustiug illness, should have a liberal diet in milk, eggs, fruit, vegetables, and such digestible meat as mutton, or not high game. HOW LOUISA GOT HER SHOES. A Brace of Good Stories Told by a Texan Evangelist. Dallas News. A revival meeting ac the First Metho dist church yesterday afternoon was called a want meeting, and was con ducted by Abe filulkey. The preacher said: "After my debts were paid I lacked $5,000 of having a cent. I went to En nis and to Waxahatchie to tell my brother and sister of my condition. My wife's shoes were worn out and she said: 'Abe, 1 ought to have some shoes; 1 am ashamed of my feet.' I answered: "Louisa, you shall have them.' I hadn't a cent, but 1 crawled up in the stable loft and said: *O Lord, Louisa needs some shoes; please give them to her. Don't you know you said, ".Seek first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added." Now, Lord, we have sought; please give Louisa some shoes.' I went out on the street and met Del Richardson, and he said: 'Why, hello. Abe; I've got re ligion . sixteen ounces to the pound.' And I said: 'Thank God. Del, [ have got it thirty-six inches to the yard and 100 cants to the dollar.' He said: 'Abe, when you were in the grocery business I left owing you *35.' 1 whispered, 'Thank God— shoes.' He continued, 'But I ain't got a cent.' I sorter swnnk up. I said, 'Del. what have you got?' He said, 'A bully crop of wheat grow ing.' I asked, 'Will you give me a mort gage on that?' He said, 'I will.' We walked up to the lawyer's office and fixed up the papers. Then stepped into C. D. Pickett's and said, 'C. D., what is that worth?' 'lie answered, '100 cents on the dollar.' I said, 'Give me some shoes for Louisa.' Did you ever notice how proudly a fellow will march home about Christmas with the strings of a pair of shoes hanging over his fingers? They are for his wife, about No. ss. Well, that's the \gay I went and Louisa hasn't been out or shoes since. Ask for what you want." Mr. Mulkey also preached his ash hopper sermon yesterday, the same that converted a lot of people at Waco some time ago. Speaking of the retarding in fluence of bigotry, be said: "My wife -was raised a Presbyterian. I had known nothing but Methodism. At her request I attended her church. Once upon my return she asked: 'How did you like my people?' : I petulantly answered, 'O, not at all; I didn't believe anything they did. Why, they read their sermons and sit down to sing and stand up to pray, and it's all wrong. They ought to re verse .everything and do like we Methodists.' My wife raised that long index finger and let it fall as straight toward my pug nose as ever the needle pointed to the pole, and said: 'I know what's the matter with you, sir; you have eot more of the Methodist church in you than you have of Christ.' I tell you. boys, it was a center shot and rang the bell on the inside of me. 1 backed away from her feeling the rebuke, and the next thine: I knew I was in tha back yard upon my knees behind an old ash-hopper— thank God if 1 didn't have the sackcloth I had a barrel or two of first-rate uuleached hick ory ashes— wept with deep contrition as i said, 'Here, Lord, is Abe Mulkey again. He is so full of conceit and Bigotry, and secta rianism that he can't even speak a kind word about his own wife's church. Lord, cure me of this meanness and littleness and make me liberal and broad, and conservative. And from that day I have had no trouble along that line. Now see here. From what I see of the churches aud the people of this city a public ash-hopper is needed as big as your court house or postoffica' building. And there needs to be a day set aside by the city council and mayor to be known as general dusting day and the whole religious community needs to meet there and have one good wallow at least once a week to give them brotherly love and unity. And some of you people here to-night need a regular dusting place in the back something like that used by th« old Domiuick hen— and the best sign that could possibly be shown that we were going to have a great big meeting would be to see a good-sized blotch of ashes upon the broadcloth and silk of the professed Christians of Dallas. I would gladly chip in my proratato pur chase a public ash-hopper, a three-story one with a mansard roof and a French cupola and a gold ball on top of it. II wouldn't need a lightning rod, for God is too merciful to let his thunderbolts harm an institution so much needed as a public ash-hopper in Dallas. Let us remove all the stumbling blocks and have faith in God and go to work, and God will grant us a great meeting." - «•» SAIREY GAMP IX BROOKLYN The Horseradish Vender and Her Imaginary Daughter. Brooklyn Citizen. There is a forlorn female who sell* horseradish in one of the upper wards worthy the attention of all people with a relish for a great and artistic fabricator of a varnished lie.

This is the way she opens up on a sympathetic housekeeper as soon as she begins to grate her radish iv the lower hall or kitchen. Then she launched into a sea of troubles. Her husband? Thank the Lord, she got rid of him long ago! She ain't goins to take the job of supporting any more men while she'J in her right mind. Two have beeu enough for her. She burled one ot them, and gave him a good funeral, too, which she paid for herself. Some times she almost wishes she could bury her '• daughter and have her at rest. That girl costs her more than the keep of two husbands did. In summer time she'll drink up 50 cents every day in soda water or beer. Aud she steals everything out of th« house she can lay hands on to pawn. Relating all this, the old woman shed tears at intervals. But one day a char itable customer hunted up this Jruiued parent's abode in East New York; and great was her surprise to find she had never had a husbaud or daughter.
