Tlint Sprinkler and Sweeper. A novel btreet-sweeping machine has been put into actual work on Philadelphia trects. Its-Jecided novelties are that It carries Its own sprinkler the rear part of the lank hoiding the water that, In stead of sprinkling the street to keep the dust down, the revolving brush is kept dampened all the time, thus avoiding the mud and water on (ho streets necessary In tbe old methods; and tbe most Important of all, that the dirt taken up Is thrown directly upon the endless carrier, which lakes It up and empties it Into tbe tank composing the front of the machine. This tank is removable, and when filled is lifted out and an empty one substituted, while tbe filled one Is carted away, dispensing with all shoveling and dust. The machine weighs but 1,300 pounds, and In Its trials has demonstrated Its merits in a way very gratifying to those Interested. One of them Is now In actual operation. IF YOir WANT AT.T.

Horan, of the Cambridge athletes, does not think much of the chances of his team with Yale In the games to be held on Saturday. "I am not sanguine of victory," he says. "In fact, I shall be much surprised and cor respondingly pleased If we capture a ma jority of the events. To Yale I concede the hammer, shot, broad Jump and 100 yard run. Cambridge, I think, will win the 350-yard, quarter-mile, half and one-mile races. "The hurdles and the high Jump I con sider In doubt, while the 100-yard event seems -safe for Richards; yet Lewlng, who will start, may prove to be a surprise. He Is running quite fast."

The. action or the legislature of that State yes tcnlay was discussed -ever where alwut town to-day, and it had a luezing effect on the boxers and their friends. The iiucslinii that was on every liody's tongue was, will Corbelt and Fltzslinmons fight? Pome thought they would, others thought they wouldn't, and Hie "wouldn't" ing no doubture nearly right. It is a will known laet that Corbelt did not want to make a match wllli.l'itzsim mous He iiislstid that he should not be usked to light a man who was not in his cla-s. He ni'd l.c wn imposed upon when he was forced Into the fight'liy newf-papcr and 'oilier hard hearted pecph.'. ntzsiinnions has been saying he was siiolllng lor a fight. He piouubly thought ho was when the match was first made. He seems, however, lo hate changed his mild. If he had not he would cot have made the kicks hat have been heard from him o' laie. Men who really w mil lo fight do mil lay awake al night watching for things lo turn up that the can use to keep them I rem fighting. The present Mains of things gives lioth Corlietl and Fllzslnininns a chance that it is ci.tlioly sare to pndlct they will will, ingly ai-cept. That is lncy,"we wanted to fight, but the law ctoprcd us." That Is about what they will tay, ai.d there will be no light. - The dereat of Eiglnh Arthur Valentine at the hands ofCarley McKc ever last night, hl.ifts the foreigner's hopes for nil Inter n.ilionil ch.impiomhlp battle. Though tin1 fight was not a great one, it priAcsthat McKcccr is a picmislng candidate for pugilistic honors that the top Hoteliers will hac to recognize lieriafler. Johnny Glynn aid JoeDalcman will be gin training regularly this week ror their bout, which Isiel lor I he night of the 24th. This promises to be a icry interesting af fair. Glyrn and Uatcmau have faci-d each other twice befoie In the rod arena, nnd neither meeting was wholly satisfactory to either of thciu. They werecrpcclally ins satisfactory to ll.ilem.in, who thinks he got the worst of the decision both times. In the coming cm-iu both men premise to be in prime condition, and a clipping mill should and doubtless wIIIIh put up by them. Glynn and Datcman are a ery evenly matched pair. The talk that Is being nude about a match between Joe ChojnkI and Hob Filzsimiiions will no doubt crd in tnioke. It looks likeaiindcrtisement rorChoynskl and nothing more. If the fight between Corbelt and Fltzslinmons falls through It will do to because the authorities of Texas w ill keep them from righting, and because they can find no other place In fight, and if Corbelt and Fitzslmmons can't fight it is not likely that Corlictt and Maher cai- fight or that Choynskl and Fitz-sim-mons can fight, either In Texas, Indian Territory, Mexico, or any olbcT part or the country. And now the gencrnor of Kentucky has set hlmseir against prize' fighting. He has notified the major of Le.uisulle that the bout between Hilly Murphy and Johnny Gnlfin must not be allow e-d to come off The pair were matched lo meet on the 7th of this month. Louisville has of late; been holding herarenj. wide open to the boxers. It was there Kid McCoy bent liiek Moore onlv a few weeks ago, ard many fights or minor importance have Iiccji pulled off there within the past year or two. The outlook for the Ikixcts at present has a blue tinge nearly everywhere. The goernor of Massachusetts has con gratulated Gov. CullKTfon on the elete-r-iniued Etaud be has taken against prize fighting, and Fends him the encouraging in formation that in his State prize fighting is a felony, punishable by ten years' Impris onment in the penitentiary. There is a prize fight or two in the very heart of Dos ton about e cry week iu the year. The good bout put up by Howard Wllbon against Jack Daly last Monday night has Inspired the colored boy's friends with even more confidence than they had In htm before. The decision was agalmt AVilson, but the man of his iiounds ami experience who can ghe the clever Daly as good a Eet-to as he did certainly has the making of a good one in him. When it is remem bered that Wilson has no one-to look after him, as nearly all good fighters have, but that he runs along entirely on Ins own hook, it can lie more clearly seen that he must be a pretty likely young rellow-. There Is a good deal of ellsappolntment among the short hairs that there is no prospect of Tred Morris getting a go here. Morris was formerly a Washlngtonian, but is now making Philadelphia his stamping ground. He was considered a good man liefore he left this city, but has improved greatly iu the past year, and good Judges of boxers here and elsewhere believe him to be capable of giving any 150-pound man now In the righting business in this coun try a very ttlff argument. Iu fact, some or his more enthusiastic supporters declare that none of the 150-pounders are as good as be Is. Morris is much disappointed at falling to get on a matcli with McCoy. He says he believes he can liest him, and as the Kid has made quite a name recently Fred says such a victory would be tbe mak ing of him. He rays about every man he has tried to match with of late has drawn the color line on Mm. EASTERN HIGH SCHOOL ELEVEN. Team Is Believed to Be the Best the School Has Ever Had. The Eastern High School football team has been reorganized, and Is doing dally practice work on the grounds at the school. At a meeting of the team last night Gilbert Kelly was elected captain. There are many good players in the school, and while Hie positions have not all been definitely filled.

It was a beautiful spring day on the Rlalto and the soubrettc'1 and the low comedian were strolling slowly along, en joying the bright sunshine and making mutual exchange of theatrical gossip. It was the first time thcicbad met since the close of the season.

They wanted nothing but farce comedy, and we couldn't give it to them. Our season lasted Just'three weeks." "And-anel did Mr. John come back with you?" She had always been rather partial toward the grim-faced tragedian. "Nope. And he-ain't likely to. He got Into trouble by trying to elevate the stage."

BRITISH CRICKETERS .GONE They Got an Unexpected Beating, But Had a Pleasant Time. AilicricaiiKlIa'.e Learned a Great Deal About the Game, Hut They Will Be Enj' When They Get Abroad. (Special to The Times.) New York, Oct. 3. The EnglUh cricket ers who have been In America for the past month or more trying their skill against our teams, sailed for their homes on the t,tcanicr Xew York last evening. Ik-fore Iea iug they spoke ve-ry plcasantly of their visit. Capt. Mitchell expressed himself as more than pleased al the recep tion accorded lo him and his men by the American cricketers. When ciuestlotiHcl as to his opinion of American cricketcTs, he acknowledged that the game had riMchesl n much higher standard in thM country than he had nupiioscd. The- Philadelphia team, he said, furuUned the Llggest urprle for bun and his men. In reganl to the proposed illt of the Philadelphia!!- to England next i.eaon, he said: "The Philadelphia team Is a very strong one, bat I think it will meet with defeat at the harels of ll.e firsKlass coumii's of England. Your men would certainly Ma ml a good chance of defeating the unhersities and the lcer counties, but against the pro fessional bowling of England I think your chances would be next to noihfiig. "In any oae, ou may say that, sliouM the PhiladclphlaiU conclude to lslt us next season, they will be assured of a hearty welcome, and, as the fact of their gone! plalng has been o widely published all over Eiigland, they will be sure to draw immense crowds lo all games in which taey inay participate." It is estimated that there are more than ,10,000 bicjele riders In Washington, and yet Ics than 500 of them are members of clubs, it is believed that ir more or the riders would attach tbcmscltes to clubs already organized, or establish new ones, at least someof theevils of which complaint is so orte-n made by whe-ehnen might be overcome. The Iyngue of American Wheelmen has more than 33,000 members. The organiza tion has evidently not grown as fast as its elder promoters at the liegiiining or the sea son hoped it would. They then predleted that It would have 00,000 memliers by tint e loseof the cycling season. Shnbl. who is nowon the road in an ef fort to lieat R. P.

After Treasure Were Oono Life Was Not Worth Living. Rush City,. Minn., Oct. 3. F. S. Chrts tlansou, Danish vice consul for Minne sota, shot hlmseir through the heart at his home in this city yesterday. A few days ago his house was burned, with its valuable contents, wbicli included many, treasures and mementoes, the fruits or patient collection ror many years, Uiat never could be replaced. This lass had a very serious effect on (ho mind of Christlanson, who was natu rally excitable, and it Is believed his sui cide was the result of temporary derange ment. A Great Imentlon. rat's employer Is fond of things of an Oriental nature. His library Is fitted up with Turkish divans and rugs, the walls are decorated with all sorts of curious weapons of the East, and in every way the room suggests the lounging place of an Ori ental potentate. Tbe latest acquisition to this interesting room Is a narghlleh, which the proprietor smokes with evident enjoy ment on frequent occasions. Fatrecently found It necessary to enter the room on some business connected with tbe fireplace, and for therirsttlmeln his life his vision took In the graceful glass Jar half filled with water and the long slender tub ingupon which his employcrwas contentedly puffing.

The howl that l being feet up by West ern League i lub-alsiiit the jiresideul of the Cliicn.ii.iti ti'.im drafting men from minor league teams, oslensllily to strengthen the Heds. and then tuning them en it to Indian apolis, has assumed cerinus Minis. It threatens to bring about .1 split hi the Woterii organization. MeCloky. who already has twenty-five players to plek a te-am of 'Colonels from next jcar, is looking for more. He says the ICeiituekians will cut something of a figure in thecext iiennant race. Jack S-tlvelts. the beery pitcher of the Bo'ton team, has gone lo his home in Ash land, Fa., to ruu a meat market until the season opens next jcar. Coimy Mack's men won only one series from an Eastern club during the season that w-ilh.Vew- York. Jack Bojle was in every game played by his club during the scasou. He Is the only first baseman in the league who has this record. Traiik Donahue, or Waterbury, Conn., on Monday signed a contract to pitch for the St. Louis llrowus next season. Philadelphia wound up the season with Clements. Dclehanty, Hamlllonand TIioiuih son standing 2. 3, 4 and 5 on the league Kitting list, llurkett was the only man who was ahead of them. Tot Mnrph v, who has been with the New l'ork team, has made arrangements to go Into a medical school, and says he will re tire for good from baseball playing. Hawley, or the nttsburg team, hit more men than am other pitcher In the League during the season. Thirty-three of them felt the weight of the ball. Griffin, of Chicago, hit twenty-two opposing bats men, and stands next to Hawley. Rusle has the record of the season for striking men out. He made 201 or them ran the air. Nichols comes next to Amos with 1S5 strike-outs. Ilreitensteln gave more bases on balls than any other League pitcher. His record is 175. Husie gave bases to 1GU men. Orlb. or the Philadelphia team, leads the pitchers, with eleven ganie-s plajed ami a percentage or .. iiouer is oc.se, ,.,,.. forty-one games played and a percentage or .811. In the lit of pitchers for the season the Washington team shows as roilows: Maul stands 1 1 , with IT gamespitchcd and a per-a-e of .023; Mercer stands 42, with 4G games played and a percentage or .40j; Anderson stands 47. with 31 games plajed nnd a percentage or .375; Malarkey stands GO. with 21 games played and a percent age of .100. The benefit to be given Jim McGuire will no doubt be attended by a big crowd. It certainly should be. If there ever was a ball plajcr connected with (he local team who deserves well at Ibe bands or the Washington patrons of (he nadoiial game, that man is the Old Reliable. Mc Guire has not only been of Incalculable service to the Washington club, and made a record unceiualed by any other catcher, but he Is a gentleman at all times and places and Is a credit to the team and to the city. At Cleveland are to be found about the only people who do not think that Phila delphia might have made a better showing against llaltimore than she did if she had tried. A paper of that city says that the Phillies are not rast enough for the Ualtl mores. It Is absurd to assert that Phila delphia did not play Its best against Balti more, for the reason that had Philadelphia, been able to win steadily from tbe Baltl mores there was a chance ror the Quakers to have taken part In the Temple cup scries.

Over In Philadelphia dwelt a young lair student who fell inlove jnstas heirosalioufc to Ik- ailmittc-d to practice, says the New York Journal. The slrl's farther alto be longed to ILc profession anil wa reckoned pretty smart, as Philadelphia lawyers so. The old fellow gave a partialconjcnt to tho young man's pl-adliigs, I nit concluded he would try the student and tee if I.e was worthy to be his eon in-law. So he said: "The case of Blank against Blanklusbeen on the calander several years It has been tricd.appcaled,decisionrevereed.iricdagaln and conies up again for argument at the nest general term. I am counsel for the plaintiff. I have fczd the cafe four years, hut now I Him it over to you. Here ara the papers; see what you can do." The young mjn took the papers and went to work with a vim born of love for if ho won the case should he not ako win a brideT At last lire seemed to him worth the living. He studied the case thoroughly. lie con sulted the authorities and was loaded and primed for a brilliant argument w hen tho court convened. He made bis plea and won the case without any trouble. With n heart overflowing with Joy he re turned lo his prospective father-in-law and, slapping down tbe papers, he ex claimed: i "See here, sir; thecase is won! Thcsearo the proofs. What you tried for years to do I have accomplished at a single term of court. Now, may I Lave your daughter?" The old fellow looked up with a imtla upon his face as he replied: "I think you a fool and you can't have my daughter. But I -n ill Just give you a little gratuitous advice: It n tiue 1 had the case four years without winning it, and it is ako true that I made thousand of dollars out of it; but ou have gore and settled it; and what baveyou made? About $50. No.slr, you oin't have my daughter." XKAHI-Y A. CEXTIJ1IY OLD. A Brick Vault Which Contain,, llloeka of Steel That Are Iimilunble. In the midst of the ruins of the demol ished building on Sansom street, above Sixth, where the firm of Mackellar, bmiths & Jordan, type founders, is preparing to erect a new foundry, stands a large trick and steel safe, the antiquity of which, dates back almost a century. The safe is built up from the cellar, on substantial foundations, to a level with the first llcor. Ur. llackellar, one of the members of the firm, said recently that what it contains is the key to their business. The value of the books and papers of the firm pale into insignificance when com pared to the appraisement of the matrices and dies with which Imprcsi-Ions of type are made that have been stored In this safe for many years. They could never be replaced if destroyed, and tbe firm takes exceeding care of them. The safe or vault Is about 20 feet lorg, 10 feet high and as many feet wide. Its one entrance Is a doorway on the cast side, which is closed at night by an iron and steel door half an inch thick. The -wall?, floor and roof of the safe are of steel plates, backed by three rows of brick. Inside, the matrices anddiepuiichcs are systematically arranged in boxes and shelves around the walls. In the morn-. Ing those matrices which are needed are taken from the vault, which is now reached by a shaky plank bridge, and carried to the foundry. At night they arc taken back and locked up. When the new building is up the safe will be reconstructed for the second time la Its hUlory. Once before, some thirty years argo, It was strengthened and made fire-proof by the addition of steel walls and better building of the outer brick walls. It Is now fireproof and so arranged that, should the building which contained It have burned down, the safe wouldntlll ha veatood In the original spot, for its foundation res cil on the cellar floor. The building which the type founders ar about to erect will be higher than the former one and will he built of rompetlaa trick.
