other a walker, of the
01ympics,and chronic
kicker Freeth, the Nas

Harlem on Oct. 22. This raco, which is a
handicap, will be rowed overy yeor, and the
winner this year will hold the medal until he
is defeated.
If tho mombers of the New York Athletic
Club's eight-oared crew went around town
leBs and drank champagne more sparingly,
they would not now bo talking of securing
another aquatic trainer. No trainer in the
world could have made them beat the
Dauntless eight in the Harlem regatta race
last Saturday. It's very strange. Davy
Iloach used to train tho old Dauntless team
bo that thoy won six out of one scries of seven
races they started in.

pounds in street clothes. That was four
weeks after he fought the marine. He will
go away to train for Reagan, McCoy and Mc
Gce in a fortnight.
Cocking mains will commence soon and
flj ing feathers are to be plenty this year. A

for a mam of chickens, to take place as soon
as the youngsters aro fit. Tho cocker spoken

Ho is to go in training in two weeks and

Reagan is very sanguino of the result of his

JUST JFER STYLE.
A Society Leader from Hoboken looking Tor
a Theatrical EnHagement,
Charles Frohman was about to leave his
offlco and had relieved himself of his work-a-day
coat when there was a timid knock at his
door and a sprightly llttlo damsel ontored.
She was not particularly pretty, nor very
strikingly clad. She advanced into the mid
dle of tho room and gazed earnestly at Mr.
Frohman.
" Can I speak with yon ?" sho lisped cun
ningly. " Certainly, madam." replied tho polite
little gentleman; though tho fact that she
could do so was self-evident. Sho drow a
chair to tho desk, leaned impressively for
ward and looked Mr. Frohman straight in
tho eyes.
' ' Now. I don't want vou to say a word about
my visit hero," sho said, " becauso nono of
my folks know anything about it. I am very,
very anxious," she continued, " to go upon
the stage. I've beon a great success in pri
vato theatricals. Oh, Mr. Frohman, couldn't
you place mo in one of tho ' Hold by tho En.
emy ' companies. I could do Susan so nicely.
It's just my stylo. Oh, do not say no."
Mr, Frohman bit his lip and w ont on listen,
inc.
I stand very high in social circles," sho
resumed, " and," with a little smirk, " I am
very popular, though I say it."
" In New York ?" asked Mr. Frohman, feel
ing ho must say something.
" Oh, no 1" scornfully.' In Hoboken. Mr.
Frohman, if you engage mo, you'll havo the
theatro packod every timo you play in Hobo
ken. I can promise you that, 1 havo so many
friends. Please engage me."
" Madam," said Mr. Frohman, impressivo
ly, " at tho present time society ladies are
rather too"
" Look at Mrs. Langtry and Mrs. Potter,"
she interrupted eagerly.
"Yes," he said meditatively. "Madam,"
quickly, " leave me your name, and if any
time"
"Oh. thanks!" sho exclaimod enthusiasti
cally, jumping at this feeblest of all conces
sions. "Dear Mr. Frohman, don't forget to

' You expected it, and so did ho. I'm not

" ' Then ho must havo placed a chair for

mine that,' he replied.
" I folt his hand upon my heart with tho
unmistakable and inquisitive pressure of a
doctor's fingers, felt the weight of his head
us his car was pressed down bard to catch the
faintest murmur. The suspense and agony
of that moment were beyond the portrayal of
language. I know that everything depended
upon the inflexibility, the courage and tho
fidelity of the girl, and I know that tho doc
tor had all those virtues at the meroy of his
decision. If intensity of emotion could add
but one throb to my heart as his band rested
upon it I was safe. My whole soul was con
centrated into that effort as his hand was
withdrawn. I thought he detected it, for
his fingers went suddenly back as if for re
assurance. His head was down upon my breast. I could
hear him breathe. His mouth was close to
my ear. No, ho was whispering. ' ICt my
turn now I' He said It twice. The awful
import of the four woids seemed to odd
some new paralysis to my system. My
nature refusod to believe in any revenge like
this. There wero no faculties in a human
being to apprehend such cruelty. Ho asked
her to give him tho little mirror from tho
shuving-case. I felt its cold surface placed
on my Tips, and I know this was a horrible,
hollow mockery. Then I heard him sayi
' He's dead 1 without any doubt, and been
dead for six hours. It was heart disease I'

'(j'1 ' ' ViJVbivjCP. of the tooth-
His friend, tho den
tist, is a jolly, hoarty follow, and ho
assured tho Bcribe that thoro was no pain
and almost no bother at all in having
tooth cavities filled ; and so tho re
porter submitted himself for an afternoon to
tho soul-inBpiring operation. Of course he
was obliged to wait an hour and a half whllo
several other poople enjoyed themschesin
tho great, luxurious, cardinal-red easy-chair
in tho doctor's privato offlco , and of courso
this hour and a half, every minute of it,
added fresh confidence to bis stock on band.
" Oh, doctor I I know I shall faint I " camo
in fceblo aocents from the little room, and
tho scribe felt that a Bwoet little woman, who
had just told her fomalo companion in tho
outer office that sho had as soon havo a tooth
out as to eat, was in trouble Thoro camo
tho inaudiblo tones of the doctor in encour
agement. Then " Ugh oo agh oh ! Oh,
dear I That was only cutting tho goomb?
Oh, I know I shall faint I Wait I No, not
yet 1 " camo from tho first voico, followed by
expostulatory tones from tho doctor. Tho
young woman bad boon in tho privato offlco
twenty minutes, and there w as a rustling, and
sho emorged, tho dontist following and bow
ing her out with: "Well, some other day,
then, when your nerves aro stronger, and
then we'll havo it out."
Then a fond mamma, accompanied by a
boy who wore bis head in a rod flannel sling,
was interviewed, and "Tonnnv" was seated
in tho big chair. This time tho door stood
open, ana the reporter saw the doctor pre
pare with a mirror abont as big as his thumb,
nail to tako a view of tho interior of tho
youngster's head. But tho patient clapped
both nands on his mouth, leaving only a
space between his fingers wide enough to
allow the most unearthly yells to come out.
"Ow, wowl yah-hoo-erl yob" said tho
boy. But after ton miuutes of coaxing,
wheedling, threatening, bribing and reason
ing from bis mother, tho boy opened his
mouth long enough to let tho dentist " take
a look inside." Then tho wily practitioner
deftly inserted, not the little mirror, but a
Iiuir of stcol candle snuffers, and with one or
wo quick, half-circular twists of his hand
and a sudden jerk, he yanked a molar out of
the mouth of the young hopeful, which added
much to tho acoustio properties of the open
ing. A view of the extracted member, how
ever, soon forced curiosity into the place of
sorrow, and tho youngster went away proud
aud hapyy, with tho tooth wrapped up in n
bit of cotton, whilo his mother satisfied her
self through the doctor that if the tooth
should accidentia or otherwise bo lost and a
swino should find it, it would not necessarily
follow that a swine's tooth would grow in
th") head of tho boy.
But the reporter's turn camo finally, just as
he had about concluded that ho could wait
till somo other day just as well, and had made
np bis mind to say that a pressing engage
ment called him away. His friend, the den
tist, wouldn't hear of this for an instant. The
scribe was not a coward, surely I Of courso
he wasn't, and he laid him down in tho easy
chair and resigned himself to his fate.
The dentist, as has been stated, is io))y and
very entertaining, and he beguiled his patient
with capital stories while he took a survey of
the opening in his face with the little mirror,
Bounded for bod-rock with a small drill,
knocked or pried off the inside walls of some
of tho teeth, first pnnchinc a holo with ivory
to obtain a grip and finally pried tho con.
tiguous teeth away from the one ho proposed
to w ork on so that ho could forco a shoet
rubbor down on it, in whieh operation he
drove several of the old, sulphurous variety
down tho throat whence they camo. From
this point in tho intcrviow tho dentist did all
tho talking.
After knocking off a few odd corners of
teeth which he had not noticed beforo,nnd
cheering tho pationt up with tho remark that
" Wo aro fairly started, now," that dentist
proceeded to inflict tho most awful tortures
over suffered by a free man in a free country.
First there was "jiiBt tho sweetest and most
scientifically constructed little foot powor
drill ever made," aud ho showed bow ho
could manipulate tho swiftly revolving llttlo
thing on tho end of n limber wire shafting,
and then ho put it into practical operation.
It w as cute, and it sent most accute thrills of
misery through tho nervous Bystcm of tho
pationt. Ho tried to say so, but his inarticulate
thought was met with a choerful, but 'verv
positive denial by tho operator, w ho seemed
to divine it immediately, and tho revolving
wire went faster and tho ueedlo-poiuted drill
went deeper, until it had passed through the
" His answer w as hesitating. Could she bo
detecting his duplicity in his conutenauco 1
And, believe me, tho man capable of a mon
strous crime was not equal to this emergency.
" Ho stumbled. He betrayed himself. lie
replied. ' Oh, that was gray beforo 1'
" If ho had only carried his authority a
little further and told her it was a common
occurronco 1
" ' It was, was it ?' said the dear girl. She,
who knew every lock in my head, was not to
bo deceived in that direction. Sho got up
aud held tho door open for him.
"'Go and make out your certificate Dr.
Cruden. You may fool tho world. But here
I stay. And if you or any of the doctors in
New York bury Adam Melton before I pro
nounco him dead you will have to bury me
with him. Do j ou understand that ?'
" And the moment she was alono she had
my head in her arms and was sobbing as if
her heart w ould break. ' I don't know if ou
can hear me,' sho cried, with gasps and tears,
'but I won't desert you. They'll havo to
tear me in pieces first. Do you hear ? It's
me Ju. I want you to live There's no
body else cares a bit. Perhaps, O God, you
are dead 1 No. no, no, no, I did not mean
that. I know better. O heavens, bow cold
?'ou are. Don't mind me; I wouldn't do this
f you weren't in danger. I'll stay here until
you open your eyes. I'll bolt the doors. Not
a soul shall come in. Not even she. Sho
was to bo your wife. Why, she sent word
that eho preferred not to seo you I'
"Aud so on, in a broken rhapsody of grief
aud endearment.
" But she was as good as her word. Down
stairs the solemn preparations for the fuueral,
were going on. It was officially gienout
that I had died of heart disease. Tho an.
nouncements were sent to tho papers. The
day of the funeral was fixed. Crape wus
ordered, letters of condolence wero received.
Nobody who has not been through my ex.
perienco can know what a thin partition
thoro is between the hopefulness of high
health and the everlasting darkness of the
tomb. Grief, affection, lovo itself, in but a
hurrying and a putting away tho instant your
heart ceatws to beat.
"1 knew now that everything deponded
upon the bravery with wliioh my stanch
friend would hold out against tho imperious
conventional, qsajeg And I confess that I
smallest end of the longest prong and was
scaring the scalp just over tho eye.
"Burr, burr, burrl" sang the wire, and
"bore, bore, bore!" was tho work of tho
drill, and the relentless tormentor who wield,
cd it swayed it from side to sldo of tho open,
ing ho had mado, which was surely big
enough for tho insertion of tho butt end of
an olcphaut's tusk, while tho victim could
mako no movo to arise, becauso that would
only bo forcing hlmsolf on tho instrument.
But just as tho man on tho rack had taken a
ovv that he would slaughter his torturer by
somo slow process, ho drew out tho drill and
Raidt " Most done now, boy. You aro stand,
ing it nobly.' '
Thou hu tried another and e en more ex.
eructating form of torture. Ilaviug laid bare
tho tondercst, most susceptible of nones, ho
now blow upon it a section of the chilling
blast of tho North Pole from a pair of minute
bellows. Each whiff cut tho quick and in.
Dieted tho most poignant suffering.
Tho desiro to kill him was thick upon tho
victim again, but his powor to do it, ho felt,
was fast passing away. Surfoited with this
last fiendish sport, tho tormenter essayed
something now. It was liko tho first, per.
sistcnt in itn work; like tho last, terrific in
its power for pain, and it bad tho lost and
culminating merits of rIowiicss. It was a
small spile driver, with which ho pounded
tho golden filling into the cavity ho had
mado. It worked with a spring, bad
a striking forco of fiftirn tonB and drove
sheet aftor shoot of the foil into thai hole,
until tho scribe, becamo convinced of tho
truth of a suspicion accumulated during tho
boring oporatiou that tho dentist was making
a holo big enough to tako in tho gold for
which ho was charging $3 a cavity. Each
blow struck a vital spark out of tho pationt.
and whon, aftor an hour of this fun, n small
file was rasped all around tho tooth, ho had
passed beyond tho possibility of further tor
ture and the villain finally pnv o it up and tore
away tho rubbor dam with the expression ;
" There 1 I'm about usod up, but you look
enough hotter to pay for all my trouble."
The reporter paid him again for his trouble,
resolved to go 1 on , livo on pugilists' diet
for a month, train down to fighting trim and
then come back onco a week and ttirash the
dentist within an inch of his lifo. But on
sober consideration, instead, ho smiles broadly
and shows his emblem of suffering and
courage.
RUMBLINGS OF THE CAMPAICN.

A Charmed I.lfo.
from Ilarpr'i tlatar,
Across the drugRet the liaby creeps
The baby that knowB uo caren
And the awful direction that he keeps
Leads right to the hard steep stairs.
Sometimes lie climbs on the wlndow-illl,
Where a fall his neck would break;
From any bottle he drinks his till
Not the same from a upoon he'd take.
He sticks his hands In the bulldog's eyes
And Into the horse's nose;
The UMe-knUe on his hand he tries,
And kicks hU face with his toes.
Oh, thus does tho baby run his race.
And I'm sure his soul would chafo

up a lunch. I heard him tell her the coffln

lonely watches I had felt her warm, odorous
palm upon my forehead at intervals, liko an

" The undertakers got into the room beforo
sho could prevent it. She ordered them out.
" ' Who are you ?' one of them said gruffly.
" ' I'm the nurso ' she replied promptly.
' We're not ready for sextons yet.'
" ' Well,' said the Rnnio gruff voico, ' we're

'- " rv that wero then sympa
thetic features of tho life of tho community
are now lcgarded with contempt. One of
these fi atures that has sunk out of Right con
siderably is tho humble lnmp.liglitor. In
tbo old days peoplo who lived on the corners
would know liis usual hour for getting along
with his ladder, scrambling up tho post anil
lighting tho lamp. Children would flatten
their small noses against the window .panes
and enjoy tho process of illumination. On a
winter night, whon tho light flashed out and
showed tho old fellow in his red comforter
and his pea-jacket of a coat, tho collar turned
up about his rosy ears, and tho thick flakes
fell softly about him in the warm light, ho
assumed tho proportions of a benovolont
being and tho lamp-light invested him liko a
haln.
Tho old fellow was onre made the subject
of a novel, " The'Lamp-Lighter." BuCnow,
presto ! somo subtle powor fires tho electric,
lights, and the brilliant points stretch like a
string of diamonds through tho air. More
poetry, more expedition iu tho now way, but
tho sympathies are not touched.
Though thero is hardly any large section of
Now York that has not somo electric lights,
thero aro still 24,800 lamp-posts to be attended
to. Although somo of tho lamp-posts havo
beon removed, thoro aro 27,000 loft. All thoso
at tho corners, with tho naaios of streets
painted ou thom, havo boon preserved as
guido-posts, whether lighted or not. Thero
aro now 700 electric lights in town, furnished
by tho Brush and tho United States Company.
They will bo increased, although tho mast
light in Madison and Union squares aro to bo
taken down and soveral smaller poles substi
tuted in thoir stead. Tho contracts for gas
lighting havo been given by tho city to six
companies, three for tho districts this Bido of
tho Harlem, and three for those abovo it,
nearly as far as Y'onkers. The lighting of
the markets iB not included in the contracts.
Whon all tho oloctrio lights under the new
contracts, which have been awarded and will
soon bo carried out, are lit, tho gas-lights will
bo reducod some 4,000.
Tho lamp-lighters are not engaged by the
Department of Publio Works, but by tho
several gas companies. The secretary of the
Consolidated Gas Company was in his hand
some offlco whenanEvxNiNo Would reporter
called to gather some facts about that hum
ble functionary, the lamp-lighter.
"A lamp-lighter's task is to light 1E0
lamps," said he. " Of courso soma sections
aro more thickly set with lamps and others
less. So it iB not a wooden law. Almost his
whole Btock in trade is his torch. It is long
enough to enable him to light the gas from
the sidewalk and is screened so that it cannot
blow out. He pushes up tho lever of tho
cock and lights the gas in a moment. He
hardly has to stop. The glass globes of tho
lampposts are arranged so that the torch can
bo thrust through a permanent opening
below, and thero is no timo lost in fiddling
with the door as there was in the old-fashioned
four-sided lamp. Oil or naptha can
be burned with the torch and it has a wick
like an ordinary lamp.
" Part of tho lamp-lighter's duty is to keep
the lamps on his circuit clean. He has to
clean thom three times a week. If they are
injured in any way he reports at onco to the
office. Tho lamplighter is also something of
a glazier. If a glass is broken he bos to ro.
place it. He has no cutting to do ; it is given
to him and he puts it up. So his time is
pretty well taken up and he cannot well work
at any other steady occupation. Each lamp
burns 4,000 hours per annum."
" Of courso the work docs not demand a
very high order of Intellect or apoworfur
physique, so men who could not do othee
things as well can find work atthlB. If he
knows enough to come in when it rains he
can become a lamp-lighter. It is not a good
80611 for a consumptive, becauso tho
ghter has to go out in all sorts of weather."
At tho rate of lights for each lamp-lighter,
about ono hundred and sixty-five would be
required.
POLICEMEN'S FRIENDS.
Congressman Tim Campbell is a frequent
visitor at Police Headquarters. He gives an
exhibition of his rare linguistio powers to a
crowd of admirers.
Senator Mike Murphy is a frequent visitor
at Police Headquarters, and the inevitable re
sult is tho appointment or promotion of a
friend on the police force.
Senator Cullen is not slow in caring for
personal and political friendB on tho police
force, and he is on especially good terms
with all tho Commissioners.
Supt. Murray and Inspector Byrnes are
Tammany Democrats, Inspector Conliu is a
County Democrat and Inspectors Steers and
Williams are Stalwart Republicans.
Johnny O'Brien is not as chipper as of old.

His Btrong hold now is the law and his weapon

" 'Doctor llirchcll ?' my aunt suggested.
' If Doctor Birchell pronounces him dead

" 'No,' said Ju; ' I'll never givo him up till

method of their capture, however, is an in

is stood so that one nul makes an acuto angle
of 40 degrees with the ground. Tbo other is
supported by a light stick. A Btring is
fastenod to tho stick with tho waiter at tho
