Sleepers In tho Astor Library?How Hoy t Writes His Plays-Tho Tenement Soys and the Bicycle. [Special Correspondence.J Many regular attendants at the pub? lic libraries would uot stand a very lenient test as to cleanliness or proprie? ty of dress if tho officials choso to estab? lish such a standard, and ouo vory good evidence of this is found in tho condi? tion of tho catalogues in tho Astor li? brary. It has been found that a fre? quent change of tho volumes produces a result not commensurato with tho amount of work involved. Tho appear? ance of many of tho readers thero is of a kind to suggest wouder as to their presence in the library, mid fiomo of them art! frequently in a pitifully wretched comlitiou. As a mutter of fact, the most regular among tho read? ers at tho public, libraries are men who are evidently of very small menus. Spotting tho Loafers, lint those who eomo to work and those who come merely for tho sako of repose uro recognized by the attendants, and tho latter nro made to understand that there is no pluco in tho libraries lor them. It takes somo littlo time, however, to lind this out. It is still pos siblo to see men in tho libraries sound asleep, and thero are often men who ap peur to bo working with enough titno ou their hands to enable them to inako haste as slowly as they plense. Tho difliculty tho officials usually havo is to determine when a man has como to tho library really to uso it. They are' nat? urally compelled to rely on tho appear unco of things, but even with indul? gence they are ablo after awhile to dis? cover tho men who uro thero for busi? ness nud thoso who are, merely restiug. How Hoyt Writes His Plays. "That's tho way I work out a play," remarked Mr. Charles Hoyt tho other day, after ho had just finished telling tho plot of what will probably bo his next comedy. "A good idea for a plot Rtrikes me," liowentou, "and I. think about it a few days and add a littlo to it, aud then I get hold of somo good fellow and tell him about it. Maybo he will suggest sonic addition. Maybo I think of some? thing new. Every time I tell it it gets a littlo longer, until finally I've got all thrco nets mapped out. Then I get it down on paper.1' Tho plot of Mr. Hoyt's uew play? Well, I don't know that he would want mo to tell it to you just yet awhile. I will tell you, though, that tho plot is full of possibilities, and us far as he's got?he has two nets roughly sketch? ed now?tho etory is very amusing. Tho hero is a rather colorless young man from a small town in Connecticut, ?who is tho deacon of his church and ?who as suc h comes to New York to en? gage tlie singers for a choir. Well, ho gets into no end of scrapes of course, and?hut, there, maybo I've Raid Ion much already. "I've got a torn- hooked for hcr.t sea? son," paid Mr. Hoyt, "and I've got somo people engaged, hut the play? Well, maybo it'll be this and inaybu it'll he some other. I don't kuow." Playwright Potter Proved It. Ed Sotheru, tlio actor, tells an amus? ing nneedofo about himself and Play? wright Paul Potter. It was while they were rchearsiug "The Victorian Cross" at the Lyceum. Sotbeni thought of a good piece of business for a certain scene, and tho next day at rehearsal ho introduced it. "Capital!** exclaimed Potter. "Where did you gotii?" ' 'Why, it's original," prote.?tnl got It? em. "I thought it out myself." "Oh, pshaw!'' remarked Potter. "It's been used before, aud I'll prove it to yon." "And, by Jove," says Sotheru, "ho did too. Ho brought nie an old book cf French jiLiy;*, written I don't know how many years ago, iu which that identi cal piece of business was all worked out. I guess it's us Potter says?'There's nothing new on the stage.' " A IJovol Bicyclo 3c'.icme. Marchorita Arlina Hamm tells of a novel and ingenious beneficence which has been inaugurated by members of tho Woman's Auxiliary of tho Universi? ty Sottloment. They purchased a bicy? cle aud put it iu tho custody of a com? mittee of boys couuected with that in? stitution. The boys acted as nseuts and rencetl tiio maOnlno to other boys in tho neighborhood whom they knew well nt tho rato of 10 cents an hour. The in? vest merit proved better and worse than was anticipated. It is very popular and pays us high sometimes as a dollar a day and averages about 85 cents. On the other iiaud, what with boyish recklessness, tho tumbles of beginners and tho necessary collisions iu tho crowded streets of down town, it does not look as if tho maebiuo would more than half pay for itself. A Second Machine to Be Purchased.. If it does pay, a second mac-bine will be pnrcbused until there is u little stable of wiro horses. It is clear, however, that tho commit teo can do better tho next time. If, in? stead of stylo and modern improve? ments, they will buy a machine for strength and durability, they can ob tuiu ouo of lliis sort at a much lower figure tbnn tho hnudsomo one employed by skillful riders. Tho strong wheels will lnst throe and four times us long as tho fine ones and are so much cheaper that they would soon pay their cost. Josiifii Russell. A Dootor'B Prize. Ono of tho greatest prizes that ever fell to the lot of a medical man was that awarded to Dr. Dimsdale, for many years a Hortford physician. That gentleman went to Russia iu tho year 1708 and inoculated tho Empress Cath? erine and her son. For this service ho received a fee of ?12,000 mid was also awarded with a pension for life of ?500 per annum and tho rank of baron of tho empire. THE SPORTING WORLD. Tho extraordinary interest taken in college athletics by tho general public Is shown by tho reports of tho treasurers of tho various college, athletic associa? tions. No other country in tho world fver patronized collego sports so ex? tensively. Just glanco at sonio of tho figures for last year. Tho returns from three of tho leading colleges uro total? ized briefly as follows: TiocolvfKl. Spent. Ynlo (1805-0).?50,730.30 $53,045.11 Pennsylvania (year ending Sept. 30, 1800). 40,050.78 53.047.10 Princeton (1805 0). 40,015.81 30,041.40 The Harvard totals aro fully ns great as thoso given and will show a profit of nt least 10 per cent. Tho total receipts from tho athletic games of tho four leading universities ? Yale, Harvard, Princeton and University of Pennsyl? vania?wcro not far from $200,000. This moucy was contributed vory large? ly by tho general public, although, of course, a great part of it came from the students. Just what tho proportion of graduate and outside pntronago to un? dergraduate patronage is nobody can do more than estimate. Collego athletics have grown moro and more expensive as the games have grown in popularity. It will be seen by I reference to tho table above that Ponn ! sylvania bad a deficit at the end of tho year. That was due, it is explained, to tho fact that $0,816.25 was spent in im? proving its athletic grounds and that summer football was practiced. Besides $0,070.70 for football expense, the ac? counts show $3,177.80 for transporta? tion and hotels, $1,512.1:1 for training table, $1,000.17 for uniforms. Prince? ton's summer expenses aro given as $48.08; training table, $2.803.57, and $3,070.07 for traveling expenses, and no item to offset the $0,000 football ex? pense item of Pennsylvania.?Hartford Post. Bate For Bowling Ball. A specialty for the convenience of members of bowling clubs who desire to visit other bowlers for a contest game and tako their own balls along is a bowling ball bag. The individual bnll is as much used now as tho indi? vidual croquet mallet used to be in the height of the popularity of that game somo years ago. Expert bowlers have their favoiito balls, and when they wish to appear at their best in a contest ganio carry their particular bull with them and uso nono else. A ball of any size for bowling is an awkward thing to carry, and sporting goods housi s are manufacturing bags for the individual balls. There is quite a demand for tho bags. They uro made either to order or ready for any size of ball. Leather, can? vas with leather trimmings or moleskin uro used in tho bags. Tho leather is bost for tho largest balls. A shoulder strap is im indispensable addition. The bags nro made of fonr pieces of loather, molded tho shupo of tho ball and sewed ball way up tho sides, the open top fas? tening together with tbrco straps and buckles, two stont. bag handles com? pleting it.?Chicago Tribune. Carlisle Indians Improving-. Tho Carlisle Indians propose to mako a better showing ou tho gridiron this year than they did last year. A game, it is sind, has teen arranged between the ludiaus and Yalo to be played eoiuo time in November. Almost tho entire team of hist year will remain at school and represent it ou the football field. Tho Indians have engaged tho services of W. T. Ball as coach. Tho Indians are weak on kicking, and Bull expects to strengthen them materially iu that re? spect. Manager Thompson of tho foot? ball team says that ho has not yot como toau uuderstauding with tho University of Peuusylvnuin, and that thero is n possible chance of tho Indiaus not meet? ing the Pemisylvauiaus this year.?New York Snu. American Horsemen Abroad. An American who visited tho trotting track at Vienna ono moruing recently writes: "I found a good many of uiy countrymen working their horses thero, and among tho drivers I discovered that Horace Browu is conceded to bo the best. He is well known hi France, and thoAustrians have nicknamed him "the professor" on account of his great pa tieuco aud ability to get a mean horse going square. His assistant is George Nelson. And then there were, Dau Mac Phec, Arthui'GofT, James Brown, sou of Horace, and a whole lot more. If tho surroundings had not heeu so different, I might have imagined myself at Fleet wood."?Horseman. Michael's Suspension liaised. Michael, the speedy littlo. Welsh cyclist, has been notified by Chairman Mott of the national racing board that tho Suspension placed agaiust him at the request of tho National Cyclists' union of England has been raised. As soon as tho notico reached Memphis, where ho is at present, Michael ar? ranged several match races with rival riders. Although weighing but 101) pounds, Michael uses a 105 gear. Sporting Notes.

William Steiuitz, tho famous chess player, seut n cable message to friends saying that ho expects to sail for homo from Hamburg very soou.

There is no reason in the world why Uien, whether average men or men of genius, should despi.se. tho cooking of their food. They never show, or are re? quired to show, the same contempt to? ward any other art, and ou no other is their mental calm moro completely de? pendent. An ill fitting coat is a worry, but not such a worry as dinners perpet? ually ill dressed. To many men, aud es? pecially to men whose work is sedentary or whoso brains aie fully taxed, food which is at onco light aud nourishing is nn absolntc necessity if they aro to ex? ert their highest powers, and food of that kind is obtainable only by cure in selecting meats and good cooking when they ure selected. A mau should not think too much of his dinner or devote too much tinio to preparation for it or enjoy it too visibly when it. has arrived, fior all those are animal peculiarities. But to remain content with bad food, when a little more thought or careful? ness or criticism would procure it in a State fir to bo eaten, is only what Scotch? men used to describe as "a wasting of the maircies."?London Spectator. RIDING ON A STOIiM. A BOAT THAT RODE RIGHT UP THE DOWNPOURING RAIN. Unexpected Turn of a Discussion on Air? ships?To Win In an Argument Ouo Needs Only to Master Ills Cousolcnco anil Think In a Harry. * "I don't believe thcro is any sucli thing us un airship I" oxolaiined tho man who had his chair tilted hack against the sido of tho hotel and who was allowing cigar ashes to drop on his vest. "But people have seen it," expostu? lated tho man who wears long red side whiskers on his head and sputa on his feet. Tho other members of the Curbstone club drew their chairs up closer aud looked interested. "Which simply goes to show," was the reply, "that wo are living iu an era of adulteration. Nobody over saw things liko that before they got to making chemical laboratories take tho place of distilleries. What do we waut with an airship anyhow?" "Scientists say it's bound to come," ventured the proprietor of a whito vest aud n plaited shirt bosom. "Of courso scientists tell us it's com? ing. Scientists havo families to support, tho sumo as other people, and it's their business to keep public confidence up. And I don't deny that tho airship may be coming some time. But it won't got hero till conditions demand it. What could you do with an airship that can't bo accomplished jnst as well with a trolley car or a steamship or u bicycle?" Some drops of rain gave warning of n storm, and when tho party bad got settled in tho smoking room the skeptic resumed: "Supposing they do fix up ttu arrange? ment to toko you up in the air. What is there to do except to coino down again? ? Of course you can go from place to place, but a straight line is tho shortest distanco between two points, aud what's the use of taking tho extra trouhlo of traveling on a curve through tho atmos? phere? If thero wero souio way of an? choring a cloud aud starting a roof gar don on it, I'd say, 'Go ahead and have tho airship, by nil meaus. * Thero'd bo money in it." "But," ventured ho of' tho plaited shirt front, "it would bo a nico way to travel, plenty of fresh nir and room, you know." Tho storm had iucr&nsod outsido un? til its noise attracted general attention. The man with sido whiskers went to the door and exclaimed: "I guess this is tho worst wo ever had in this part of tho country." "It might bo that and still net amount to much," contemptuously re? sponded tho wearer of tho ash sprinkled vest "It's coming down in drops so far apart that yon can sco between them." "They're pretty big drops, though." "Pshaw! Compared to tho real thing, this shower is nothing but a loak in a wash boiler, j By tho way, somobody was claiming that airship travel would be commodious and comfortablo and all that sort of thing." "I said that," camo tho rather timid confession. "Did you ever try a voyago at a great altitude?" "No." "I thought not If you had, yon wouldn't mako any snch assertion. "A number of years ago I went with a friend for a trip on Lako Erie. That's tho placo for storms. His boat was a small screw propeller and ono of tho swiftest affairs ever built. Wo saw a storm coming, and, iu spite of our efforts to run away from it, it overtook us. Talk about rain! What we encoun? tered thcro was a perpendicular river. My friend staid on deck to seo that wo i didn't run into anything, und I, of course, stood by hini. In a few minutes I realized that if something wasn't dono we'd drown right in our tracks. 1 wait? ed my opportunity, and presently, when a big wavo came along and tilted tho boat up so that tho dock stood at an an? gle of about 45 degrees, I turned tho en? gine loose for all thero was in it I glanced at my friend. Ho was whito as a sheet, but ho grasped my hand in to? ken of his npproval of what I was do? ing. It was a dosporato chance, but it turned out as I had hoped. Tho boat bo gan to rise steadily aud swiftly on a slant It was n time of hornblo sus? pense, for wo didn't know what minute tho craft might strike a thin spot in tho storm that tho paddle wheels wouldn't take hold of. But wo got safely to tho top and both sank to tho deck in utter exhaustion. When wo recovered suffi? ciently, wo took a survey of our sur? roundings, and I give you my word 1 i never experienced anything more dreary than tho impression made by tho tre? mendous expanse of vacancy which met our gnzo on all sides. After a few hours of it I would have given a fortune for tho sight of a few telegraph poles or tho sound of a train boy peddling oranges." "How did you get down?" asked ouo j of tho group. j "We didn't bother about that. . After j.laying seven up till wu got tired of the game wo turned in, and when wo awakened it was broatl daylight. Wo found thut as tho storm subsided we hud sunk gently until we were drifting in sunshine and safety on tho broad, placid bosom of Lako Erie." "And you say you don't believe- in any such thing as an airship?" queried tho man with tho whito vest quietly. "Of courso not And what I havo just told you gees to show that it W< Id ho a lonesomb and undesirable institu? tion if wu had one." 'Maybe it does," was the reply. ? Maybe it does.

National Conimitteeman W. 0. Hill of Tennessee had an experience in Wash? ington not long siueo that will linger long in his own memory and that of a certain cab driver of tho capital. Mr. Hill is a small but wiry and resolute gentleman. The particular cabby with whom he had to do was big and strong and not overburdened with integrity. His fare was on tho poiutof leaving tho city, but got tho jehu to drive him to a down town hotel, tho bar of which lie entered for liquid refreshments. While in the place tho Tennesseeau dropped a roll of bills amounting to nearly $200. Ho re-entered tho vehicle, but shortly afterward discovered his loss and direct? ed tho driver to tako him back to the hotel where ho had last remembered tak- , iug out his money. Ou entering ho mado eager inquiry for the lost roll, but nobody had seeu it. It was a good bit to lot got away, and Mr. Hill was much put out. Ho weut back to tho street and Buid rather sav? agely to the coachman, "Drive mo to tho polico station." The fellow demur? red to this, and at last flatly refused to go. Hill's temper arose, and ho mado a grab for tho man to pull bim ofY his seat. "Hold on, sir. That'll do. I'll give you back your money,'' aud to tho as? tonishment of tho southerner cabby bo gan to unscrew his ancient lamp, und from tho socket drow forth n bnudlo of currency so bluokenc.d and soiled with grease and dirt that it was scarcely to ho recognized as money. Mr. Hill count? ed it and found thero was not a dollar missing. Ho was so amazed at tho denouement that bo forgot to toll tho driver what ho thought of him, and tho latter began to mumble forth a lnmo explanation that ho hadn't meant to steal tho cash, but only intended to keep it for nwhilo to teach tho owner not to bo so careless in future Mr. Hill let it go at that, but ho has his own ideas touching tho in? tentions of tho other party.?Washing? ton Post. Chief Joseph's Drink. Air. Yergasou, an artist of Hartford, was pleased recently to moot tho Indian Chief Joseph at tho Fifth Avonno hotel, Now York. Ho decided that every cour? tesy should bo shown to tho Hon. Chief Joseph, and, walking up to him, ho said: "Talk English?" "No talk English, no talk," replied tho Hon. Chief Joseph. "Tako a drink?" inquired Air. Yer? gasou. Without a murmur, without a sec? ond's hesitation, with a face that was us calm as a cobblestone,the Hon. Chief Joseph arose from his seat. Tho Con? necticut Yankee moved toward tho bar? room, and tho Hon. Chief Joseph was at his heels. Mr. Yergason loaned over tho bar and winked at Colonel Jim Gray, tho head barkeop. "What will yon havo, chief?whis? ky?" asked tho Connecticut artist. Not a word camo from tho lips of tho Hon. Chief Joseph. Ho leaucd over the bar and was silent. Colonel Jim Gray looked at Mr. Yergason, aud Mr. Yerg? ason looked at Colonel Jim Gray. After a moment Colonel Jim produced a fat whisky bottle and. placed it beforo.the Hon. Chief Joseph. Next came a fat whisky glass. The. Hon. Chief Jospeh did not touch tho whisky bottle nor the glass in front of hiiu, and there were more looks between Colonel Jim Gray and tho Connecticut artist. Finally tho i Hartford man winked, at Colonel Jiiu and nodded his head. Colonel Jim seized tho whisky bottlo and tilled tho whisky glass to the brim with whisky. Colonel Jim slid tho glass in front of tho Hon. Chief Joseph, who, with calm? ness that was almost alarming, raised the glass and swallowed the contents at a gulp. Ho didn't talk English. He didn't open his lips except to?talk English as ho did.?New York Sun. Tho Smartest Dog-. "Talk about trained dogs," said Lar? ry Phillips, ns ho was standing beforo a mixed goods restaurant in Now Fork, "they ain't iu it with Mike. Come here, Mike," be shouted, and Mike, a three legged bull terrier, wall eyed and lop? sided, with an upper lip like a County Korry squire's, sauntered up. His own? er walked into tho saloon and laid a quarter behind a cuspidor. "Mike," said ho when he returned, "I left a quarter in the room yonder. Go and get it:" Mike looked up intelligently and ran into tho room, coming back present? ly empty mouthed. "That's tho first time ho ever failed me," said Larry, with somo chagriu, as ho walked in and picked tip tho coin. Then, looking at it closoly: '' Why, no wonder tho dog wouldn't touch it.
