Can Cushion Caroms Come In as a Reg- ular Match Game}—The Way to Beat Schaefer. A telegram to the New York Sun from Chicago, December 4, says: The recent match at cushion caroms between Slosson and Schafer, played at St. Louis Nov. 27, must have brought to all fair minds the conviction that at this style alone can any expert expet to meet Schaefer, for every other contest butthat would be virtually conceded to “The Wizard.” Theconditions by which the sup- port of the public can be assured exist at no game of “ball to ball” billiards. They consist largely of the desire to witness the spectacle of each player passing and repassing the other, but. such expec, taney wouldscarce enter the breast of any billiard lover save fa the event of a Slosson and Schaefer match. That general opinion 1s voiced through the medium of the betting 1s an axiom. Now at St. Louls Schaefer was a 100 to 70 favorite, even though by public performance the adversary he was about to meet certainly outclassed him near- ly half a point at custon caroms. It is only reasonable to suppose that, having Slosson to beat, at “balk Ine” or the “champion’s game,” the odds would be as long as posstbly 100 40. And the public can never be made to pat- ronize @ match concedegiy over before a ball 1s stru Nothing to the disparagement of the Chicagoan, who long ere this had become, through ener and perseverance, the world’s champion Dut the coming of the meteoric Schaefer. However, today the latter 13 considered the better player to an extent that any match {s scarcely possible by reason of the lack of backing in Slosson's case. “Let him play for his own money,” he cried. This looks well, but when and for how much has any player backed himself? Even the first professionals, with che exception of Maurice Daly, are noc Known to nave any loose $500 notes, and for no lesser amount would Schaefer play. Therefore, if matches are to be made of widespread interest, cushion caroms must be the style of game. It ts wonderful how the antipathy to this game has gatned such sway. It 1s because people have been’ used to witnessing large runs and high averages that cushion caroms meets with app 's hooking Maud S. to a coal cart,” ertes one, ‘No one wants to listen to Wagner's inusic, ThE beautles of the game are only fo be seen by profes- stonal,” chimes in another. Yet there would be no trovting “free for alls” with a Maud S. eligible, no professor perfect without a Knowledge of the great composer, and_ the turf would be in bad shap but for hand” capping. caroms is simply an evolution, and, ushion like all progress, will gradually commend itself. It would be hard to maintain the position that in anything quantity Is better than quality. “The game lacks rarity,” it {3 sald.

And so at cushion carom billiards time will show that Just as certain will be the work of the first great expert to discover, Invent and carry the game to its completion. ‘The writer takes fesue with all such as claim “emasculution.” Certain strokes may seldom come in play, but the masse alone is rendered valueless, and {tis only a question of time when such stroke will be “barred,” Just as was the “push shot,” because if allowed ‘it makes Jacob Schaefer all but invinelble. Delicacy of touch is hot precluded, but the trouble thus far has been to combine open play and nursing. ‘The St. Louis game conclusively proved the open styie, first worked so successfully by Wm. Sexton, 13 almost sure to beat a “ourser,” Dut the latter will win the day eventually. It may safely be stated that in the recent mitch there were more counts effected from diflcuit breaks than tn any other game ever played. The average was lower than the record because both players wanted (0 safety play.

Phenomenal Powers Possessed by Core tain People. From Chambers’ Journal. It“all great people have great memories,” as Sir Arthur Helps declares in his delightful book entitled “Social Pressure,” it by no means follows that all those who are possessed of great memories are “great people.” Many an instance might be elted toshowthat men of very moderate intel- lectual capacity may be endowed with a power of memory which 1s truly prodigious. In addition to this there are plenty of well-authenticated examples of the extraordinary power of mem- ory displayed even by fdiots. In the memoirs of Mrs. Somerville there is a curious account of most extraordinary verbal memory. ca Teel 2 ARON a us, “of a respec amily, who inirkable memory. He never fatled to go.to the kirk Sunday, and on returning home would repeat the sermon, Saying: ‘Here the minister coughed; here he stopped to blow his nose.’ During the tour we made in the Highlands,” she adds, “we met with another {diot_who knew the Bible so perfectly that 1f you asked him where such verse was to be found he could tell without hesi- tation and repeat the chapter.” ‘These examples are sufficiently remarkable; but what shall be Said of the case cited by Archdeacon Fearen in his valuable pamphlet on “Mental Vigor”? “There was in my father’s parish,” says the archdeacon, “a man who could remember the day when every erson had been burled in the. paris for thirty- ve Years, and could repeat unvaryiny racy’ the name and age of the deceased, with the mourners at the funeral. But he was a complete fool. Out of the line of burials he had but one idea, and could not give an intelligible reply toa single question, nor be trusted to feed himself.” ‘These phenomenal instances may be matched by the Sussex farm laborer, George Watson, as we find recorded in Hone’s “Table Book.” Watson could not read nor write, yet_ he was wont to per- form wondrous feats of ‘mental calculations, and his memory for events seemed to be almost fauit- less. “But the most extraordinary circum: ” say8 Hone, “is the power he posse=sed of recollect ing the events of every day from an early period of his life. Upon being asked what day of the agiven day of the month occurred, he im- mediately names it, and also mentions where he was and What was the state of the weather. A gentleman who had kept a diary, put_ many ques- tions to him, and his answers were invariable cor- rect.” Of a similar kind 1s the memory for which Daniel McCartney has become famous in the United States. The strange story of this man’s achievements ts told by Mr. een the eee of Speculative Philosophy. McCartney, in decitted that ne could remember the day” of the week for any date from January, 1827—that 1s, from the time he was nine years and four months old—forty-two and a half years, He has often been tested, and so far as as Mr. Henkle’s account, °S had not failed to tell his qucetioner what day it was, and to give some information about the weather, and about, his own whereabouts and doings on any of the 15,000 or more dates that might be named. When Mr. Henkle first met this: man of marvelous memory he was employed in the office of the Hon. T. K. Rukenbrod, editor of the Salem Republican, where nothing Detter could be found for ’McCartney to do than “turn the wheel of the printing press two days of each week.” On the first formal ex- amination this man underwent, his answers were tested by reference to the file of a newspaper, which. gavethe day of the week along with the date. Tn one case his statement was disputed, for the day he named was not the same as that given by the paper; but on further inquiry it was found that the newspaper Was wrong, for the printer had made a mistake, Shorthand notes of the con- versation were taken at subsequent interviews. ‘The report of these 15 very curious reading, Take tne following as a samples uestion October 8, 1828?

And so the conversation ran on for how ranging over forty years of McCartney's perso history. Mr. Henkle tells us that if he wi over some of the dates agatn, after a few days’ inter- val, the answers, although given in different terins, we lly the same, “showing dis- Unetly that he remembered the facts and not the words previously used.” MeCartney’s inemory 1s not confined to dates and events; he 1s a rare calculstor, can give the cube rodt of such num- bers as 59, 319; or 571, 747, etc.; can repeat ‘some 250 hymns, and start about 200 tunes; has: a singularly extensive and accurate knowledge of geography, and never forgets the name of a person he has ouce seen or read of.

Myron Reed ig a minister with Jim Bludsoe tendencies. He 1s dark and big, with a heavy black moustache and bold, black eyes. He wears a broad-brim slouch hat, yellow plaid suit and loud jewelry, and chews tobacco as vigorously as Sam Jones did before the reformation. His style in the pulpit is what he calls “plain and practical.” Having occasion to refer to the article popularly known as the spade, he calls {t a spade without equivocation, and has been known to indulge in the luxury of expletives of the milder form. He has had a varied life, hav- ing been successively a soldier, a workman in a printing office, a miner aud a’ minister of the Gospel. ‘Ten years ago Myron Reed, then a minister, came to Indianapolis.

Stuck to Mr. Reed. Stuck gazed at Reed, took in the big hat, the gay clothes, and the loud watch chain, and, sizing the reverend gentle- dan up for a member of his own class, exclaimed: “How are you, Reed?” When‘d you get in?” “Oh, I've been here a couple of weeks,” answered the minister, pleased to be on familiar terms with his chance acquaintance, ‘How d’ you tind business?” ingtred Stuck, ‘Pretty fair.

One of them 1s H. W. Eshback, a member of the Phils- deiphis bar, having an office at 508 Walnut street, and the other 1s Frank Tygh, a cigar manufac- turer, at Locust and 6th streets. A short time ‘ago these two gentlemen passed the night with & friend, John F. Endicott, in the old college, and since that time they have been startling their acquaintances with frightful stories of @ ghost seen there. As proof of his statement Mr, Eshback exhibits a bad-looking upper ip, Which he says was swollen up by coming in con- tact with a bona fide ghost. Their stories have Rained considerable credence. at Audelusia, where the affair is said to have taken piace, and the citi- Zens 100K upon the old college ullding with more jan ordinary suspicion.

It has been sald for many years that the house was haunted. DR. CHAPMAN'S MURDER. ‘Whet the college was in a flourishing condition under Dr. Chapman, twenty years ago, Mrs. Chap- man and a young man named Minor became en- amored of each other. Feeling that the doctor Was an obstruction to the free enjoyment of thelr love they accomplished his death by the ald of arsenic, “In trying to obliterate traces of the crime some of the arsenic was thrown into the yard, Where some of the ducks ate It and died.” The death of the ducks in such a manner led to an in- Yestigation, resulting in the arrest of both Mrs. Chapman and young Minor. Minor was hi Mrs. Chapman escaped the law. Since that timé fhe house has had the reputation of being haunted. Persons in that neighborhood say they saw lights in the house for years, and few of them would pass it after dark, After the murder the college proved a fatlure, and no one could be found willing to occupy it. ‘the owner of the premises had a portion of the building torn down and the remainder fitted up as a boarding house, but the unsavory reports concerning it prevented him from getting a tenant. Mr. Endicott finally of- tered to occupy the place and has now been living there for some months. MR. ESHBAOK’S STORY. Horace W. Eshback said yesterday: “A friend of mine, John F. Endicott, resides in the old Anda- lusta college, and the other day he invited me over to pay him a visit. Ot course I accepted the invitation, taking with me Frank Tygh, a cigar dealer of this city. ‘The weather was none ‘the best In the morning, and by afternoon a wind and rain storm arose which lasted until early the next morning. We had intended to re- turn to the city on one of the late afternoon trains, but as the storm ‘without prom- ise of early abatement we decided to re- main over. It must have been near midnight when We went to bed. We were shown to the ‘spare room.’ ‘This apartment. was very large, with three deep windows, two doors and a fire- place. ‘The old college has about twenty Tooms, the larger number of which are unoccti- Pied, and Tygh, who is a short, fleshy man and much given to te subject of spooks, shuddered as we walked down the hall and muttered something about its being an elegant night for ghosts to play foot-ball, We entered the room and ‘tygh thought ‘some one was yelling, but he grew more composed when I told him it was only the wind, The wind Was really howling as if the very linps of iniquity Were frenzied in the delights of a free night. With the wind whistiing through the tall cedar trees it was almost Impossible to sleep. Anyhow, T could not compose myseif to sleep and Jay listen: ing to the nolses outside and to the snoring of my room-mate, A GHOSTLY SLUGGER. “Suddenly a light spread through the room, a light like that produced by a candle.

I asked, hardly aware of what I was saying. ‘The sound of my_ voice awakened Tygh, Me'sat bolt upright in bed, gave one glance and tumDied over on the floor and be- gan to pray.

The answer tecelved from the ghost was something unlooked for, being in the form of a severe blow onthe mouth, cutting my lips badly and stretch- ing me at full length on the ‘THE GHOST EXPLODES. “almost stmultaneously with the blow the fig- ure noiselessly exploded and seemed to go straight up through the wall. The light did not go out for some time, but gradually died away, leaving us in darkness. ’T jumped up and lighted ’a lamp and found ‘Tygh doubied up in “2 heap on the floor, almost insensible, I looked around the roont and found the windows closed, the doors locked and everything in the condition as it was wien weretired. Iwill admit wat I was frighten and the quickness with which I dressed mysel and hauled Tygh down stairs was somethi Wonderful. Itis perhaps unnecessary to say thet We spent the remainder of the night before a glowing fire tn the sitting room. When Endicott Saw me in the morning he laughed and wanted to know where I got my thick Ips, I did not care to tell hin the truth, so I replied that I had struck it on the bed-post in getting imto bed. Now, as I satd before, Ido not belleve in ghosts or anything of the sort, but I'mn going to investigate that mat. ter and eafture whatever itis, that 1%, providing {tis anything human,” iy Tygh solemnly swears that he saw the whole business,and relates a story exactly similar to that of Mr. Eshback. He says lie knows there 1s a ghost tn the old butiding, and money could not hire him to pass another night the Household Service. From the St. Louis Republican, ‘The fact that, in the mfdst of a widespread labo agitation in which working people are strugglins against a constant tendency to reduction of wages, one very Important laboring class manages to remain absolute master of the situation in its part of the fleld, ts beginning to attract attention. ‘The favored class 1s the house servants, No labor tumults disturb or dismay these serene and auto- cratic persons. Strikes may come and strikes may go without disquieting them. Iv is all the same to them whether the latest movement of the Massa chusevts shoemakers, or of the western Pennsy!- vania_coke-burners, or of the Chicago meat. packers succeeds oF falls. They have the nous olds of the land at their mercy. They are not skilled workers; ag a rule they possess less pro- ficiency in their vocation than any other class of persons who earn their living by manual labor. “‘They possess no organization; they do not act in a body; they have no grand "master or head center; they hold no conventions and_pro- claim no platforms; they remain aloof from labor movements entlrely, and they ask no odds of any- body. Yet they have things thelr own way in matters of wages, hours, holldays and sub-division of household service. ‘A recent investigation In New York shows that the wAges paid to young ‘Women Who Work in factories, shops and sewing- rooms are only $5, $4, $3, and down to $2.50 a week, and out of thls they have to pay rent and board, and otherwise support themselves, ‘Their wages are low because the supply Of Uls Kind of labor is in excess of the demand; there are more sewing- women and girls to work in factortes than the twades require; for one place adalf dozen girls will make application and this sharp and severe com- tition or places forces them to work for a Dare ving. . But are they compelled to work in sewing-rooms, packing lofts and factortes at this low pay? 18 there no other fleid open to them where they can do better? Yes; there 1s a fleld of labor where they can earn $2150, $3 and ¢4.a week and get thelr living besides—domnestic service—but, strange to say, they have an unconquerable aversion to tt, ‘They would rather iive in a state of genteel semi: starvation then earn a good living and something over a8 servants in a private household. Our American young men have not more completely abaudoned the’ mechanteal pursuits than our American young women have forsworn domestic service; | Both are given up to forelgners—and for- eign girls only take to {t while looking out for soinething else. In fact, the most important work in the land, the care of {ts households, actually poes.a beguing, at a tme when the coiaplaint ts incessantly heard that all other flelds of labor are overstocked, and there 1s nothing for the con- stantly increasing army of idiers to do. It 1s a very interesting contradiction and incon- sistency in the labor question—this impossibility of finding persons enough to do the work of our household in the midst of the very opposite im- possiblilty of nding work enough for the workers in all other departments of life. No remedy for it has been discovorai: and it continues. to grow worse every year. The mayor-elect ot New York, Mr, Hewitt, in a recent interview, admits thé wretched Condition of working-woinen in that great city, but intimates very plainly that they are themselves to blame for tt, since there is al- ‘ways open to them a vocation ih which they can garn a good living, Dut which they refuse to enter from false pride.

Boyd called out in front of the house after the three officers had dismounted, and Will Morrison came out to the gate, Boyd told him that he had come for him, but Morrison coolly remarked that he reckoned rot, and added that he didn’t propose to be arrested. He turned to return to the house, but Boyd ordered hitu to stop, telll him if he dia not he would shootin. Morris remarked that if he could shoot quicker than he to light in, and at the same time drew his pistol, but Boyd fired first and Morrison fell, pistol in band. John Morrison at the same tine opened up on Wiley and Claiborne with a double-barrel shotgun from the house at a range of forty yards. -'The ofiigers returned his fire with pistols, while some else, supposed to be old man Mor tired several Shots from another door, About a dozen ‘were ‘one buckshot essing through Mller hap, Dut’ nobody was hit.
