Harry S. Jones, jr., Mgr. USES FOR CHERRY PITs. Handy Things for Newsboys to Gam- ble With. From the New York Sun. Since cherries have become cheap enough to be handled by the push-cart peddlers a number of Italians have been picking up the pits thrown away on the streets by cherry eaters. A diminutive Italian girl is the most persistent worker of the kind seen hereebouts. She appears at the en- trance to the Brocklyn bridge soon after noon, and few cherry pits around there es- cape getting into the wooden box she car- ries under her arm. A bridge policeman stopped the girl a few days ago and asked her what she was going to do with the cherry pits. “Make medicine,” she replied. “What kind of medicine?” asked the cop- per. “No speak English,” said the girl as she went on gathering the pits. “That's always the way with them Eye- talians,” said the policeman to a bystander. “If you ask them a question they'll give you a knock-out blow by telling you they can’t talk the langwidge.” Park row Is a fertile hunting ground for the pit gatherers, and the quantity of pits that can be gathered in a few hours is surprising. With a box or a bag in which to carry the pits the pickers work along the streets where the cherry push carts are stationed. They scour the gutters and roadways, and seem to be oblivious to everything but what they are seeking. Cable cars and trucks have no terrors for them. Besides the use made of the pits as a medic!ne,the newsboys gather them to play with. They play a sort of marble game with the pits, but it is not a popular game, because cherry pits are easy to obtain. Two players take part in the game. Each player furnishes a pit, and the players alternatety take the two pits in one hand, shake them ard drop them on the ground. The pits bound apart when they strike the ground. Then the player lays the index finger of one hand on the ground between the pits and with one of his other fingers drives one pit toward the other. If he hits it he wins. If he misses the other player wins. The stakes are the pits used in playing. —_—_—-+-e+____ Dean Swift at the Wedding. From the Wave. Dean Swift was walking on the Phoenix road, Dublin, when a thunderstorm sud- denly came on, and he took shelter under a tree. where a party were sheltering also —two young women and two young men. One of the girls looked very sad, till, as the rain fell, her tears began to flow. The dean inquired the cause, and learned that it was her wedding day. They were on their way to church, and now her white clothes were wet, and she could not go. “Never mind—I'll marry you,” said the dean; and he took out his prayer book and then and there married them, their wit- nesses being present; and, to make the thing complete, he tore a leaf from his pocket book, and with his pencil wrote and signed a certificate, which he handed to the bride. The certificate was worded as follows: “Under a tree, in stormy weather, I mar- ried this man and woman together; let rene but Him who rules the thunder sever this inan and woman asunder. “JONATHAN SWIFT, “Dean of St. Patrick's.” Joke on a Canary. From the Philadetphia Iecord. A prectical joke that was played on Chas. Maurer of 11th and Callowhill streets early last spring has resulted in something likely to puzzle the brains cf several uptown naturalists. Mr. Maurer is a great lover of birds. last spring one of his canary birds was busy with a nest of ergs, and Mr. Maurer was as much excited as the mother bird. As a joke Curtis Souder re- moved the eggs, and in their place put three of the sparrow variety. Now, in the course of time those eggs were hatched, and both mother bird and master were greatly bewildered at the odd-looking bird- lets. The joke in some way leaked out, but as the mother bird was treating her fosier children tenderly Mr. Maurer de- cided to let them remain and watch the result. After the sparrows got a little older it was noticed that the canary would put them in a row and chirp to them, after which the sparrows would try to imt- tate her. Perseverance on the canary’s part has resulted in three ugly sparrows that are beginning to sing, and it’s a toss up as to whom the joke is on. ses. If you want anything, try an ad. in Tne Star.

Um- Brae Ball Notes. Yesterday's postponement was a great disappointment to about 1,500 dyed-in-the- wool fans, who journeyed to National Park to see the New York-Washington contest, but when they learned that Capt. Brown deemed it best to have good grounds for his men very little murmuring resulted. Today two games will be played for one admission, and ‘Fee ise tomorrow, and Great crowds will yo doubt turn out. Mc- James and King will pitch today for the Senators, while Rusie and Meekin are slated for the same work for the visitors. Tomorrow Mercer, and probably Swaim, will do their best to hold the Giants in check. everybody at tye grounds yesterday re- marked-on the f1 dly spirit that seemed to pervade the New York ranks while the players were practicing at National Park before the game led off.

While the Bostons and Baltimores are piayiag “‘teeter-totter” the Cincinnatis wil be sawing wood and saying nothing. At what angle did man and Joyce carry their chests last? In the language of Pete Browning, “A common ball play: couldn’t get close enough to the New York- ers to hand either one of them a ripe peach on a fishing pole.” Kohimann, a young pitcher from Mason, Onio, who was with the Atlanta (Ga.) team, and who has been practicing at “he Cincinnati park for several days, was ycs- terday signed by the St. Louis club. Kohl- mann is well thought of. He went to the mound city with Von der Ahe’s aggrega- tion last mght. “Talk about St. Louis as they please,” said Donahue, the crack twirler of the St. Louis Browns, “I would rather play with the St. Louis team any time than I would with either the New Yorks or the Phila- delphias. I have no particular kick com- ing. The only fault I had to find was that I didn’t think it was the right thing to have to pitch every other day. Now that Carsey has reported, I will only have to work once in every three days. I'll be able to do better pitching. President Freedman was considering an application from Gus Schmelz, who wanted to become business manager of the club, and the local magnate is very much im- pressed with the business ability of the former manager of the Senators, but a3 his engagement would be apt to cause trou- ble in the team it fs not likely that he will be engaged. It would be as easy to mix oil and water as to harmoniously associate Joyce and Schmelz. In view of this fact, as well as the result of the Washington row after Schmelz returned to help Scrappy manage last year, it is not likely that the former manager will be engaged in any capacityNew York Correspondent Sport- Ing Life. There was pubjished in a New York pa- per Tuesday a story of how Shortstop George Davis of the New York team has been paying strict court to two handsome young women, and how, by an appareat accident, they both moved into the same apartment house. In spite of the risk of having them both living in the same house, George is said to have kept up his court- ship. He called one of his fair inamoratas ¥ and the other “Kittens.” 0: day ‘Peaches’ clock ran down and she went to ask “Kittens” the time. The two charmers got confidential, thus finding out that they both loved the same man. The paper is authority for the assertion that “Peaches” will now sue George. When he came to the bat Wednesday in Baltimore he was greeted with exclamations of “Peaches! and “Kittens!” HAMILTON TO MEET SANGER. Agreement Signed at Denver for an Interesting Bieycle Race.

Poughkeepsie Special to the New York Sun, A speculator said to the Sun reporter that seats were bringing as much today as they will tomorrow, if not more, as the high prices are a temptation to the college stu- cents to give up their tickets and take their chances of sceing the race on shore or from the beats. Fifteen tickets together were sold to a New York man this morn- ing for $105. Two tickets for seats in the middle of the train brought $25, and a single ticket in car 23, which will be kept nearly abreast of the crews, was sold for $18 this afternoon.

The Hajch experiment station of the state college at Amherst has just issued bulletin No, 46, which is on “The habits, food and economic value of the American toad." The bulletin is the work of A. H. Kirkland, assistant entomologist to the gipsy moth committee. Mr. Kirkland has devoted considerable time to the study of the toad and embodies the results in the bulletin. He finds that insects constitute 77 per cent of the food of a tead. To show the number of worms which a toad de- stroys, he states that in the stomach of a single toad were found 56 army worms, in anotfer 65 gipsy moth caterpillars, and in a third 37 tent caterpillars. He records an experiment where in three hours’ time a toad had consumed between 30 and 35 full- grown celery worms.

He called his mother and sisters into the room, after getting into it, and turned nervously around beefore them. “Does it fit decently?” he queried in an agony of doubt. “Why-y-y, what's the matter? Ob, yes, a tag. I suppose all this sort of clothing is tagged, isn’t it?” Never before, surely, were garments tagged as were those, however; there was a tag on the hem of each trouser leg, one upon the left coat tail and another on his vest front, and still another on the sleeve. Even when he bade them good-bye, after waiting impatiently while all the visible bits of figured cardboard were cut away, they called him back,to remove still an- other. The result was that he finally reach- ed the house of his inamorata in anything but a peaceful frame of mind. She, too, was nervous, and they departed for the theater in haste. He noticed, just as soon as he slipped out of his topcoat, that her eyes sought his figure constantly and interestedly, but his inward uncertain- ty about that suit made him glower, so that she said nothing, and the performance was half over before he gathered courage to speak of the subject himself. “How do you like my new clothes?” he asked at last, with what calmness he could muster, and the girl blushed nervously. “They're quite pretty, I think,” she said, with an apologetic smtie, “but——’ “I don’t know whether they fit me very well or not,” he interrupted, desperate with the fear that she had divined the secret of their origin, “for I tried a new tailor, and, although he gave me several fittings, and— what's the matter?’ he broke off to e: claim wildly, as he saw the light of a cawning laughter‘in her eyes. “What is it, dearest?” “Nothing,” she responded solemnly, al- though the laughter beneath her pretty lashes grew stronger momentarily, “ only—there’s a price tag on your coat lapel: And so there was, a small but distinct tonend. reading, “size; 34; style, 7; price, —+o+____ < Never Pay Cash.

Get credit, and you will do busti- ness amounting to 1 indefinite nomber of times your capital. “Without dilating further on the advan- tages of credit, let me give you an illus- tration of the disadvantages of doing busi- ness on a cash basis. A country merchant I knew who had always paid cash for ev- erything he bought, and did a correspond- ingly small business, determined finally to enlarge his trade. and to do this required the credit he had never before asked for. When he came to town and asked the men to whom he had always paid cash to let him have goods on time, they one and all became suspicious of him and refused. The very fact that he had always paid cash made them think, when he finally asked for credit, that he wasn’t a safe man to trust Moral: Never pay cash for anything if you would avoid suspicion.” Naming the Baby. From the Albany Law Journal. The question as to whether the naming of the baby belongs, as a matter of right, to the baby’s father or to the baby’s mother is raised in a queer Jaweult orig- inating in Eastkill, in the heart of the Catskill mountairs. The plaintiff is Ole Halverson, a Swede, who cultivates « small farm on the mountain side. He has sued for damages Rev. J. G. Remerton, a German Lutheran minister of the same place, and the pleadings set forth the fol- lowing state of facts: Mr. and Mrs. Hal- verson have a son of tender years. The former desired that the boy should be called Oscar, after the present monarch of Mr. Halverson’s fatherland. Mrs. Halverson dislikes the name of Oscar, and was de- termined that the baby should not be bur- dened therewith. Mr. and Mrs. Halverson took the baby to the clergyman to be chris- tened. Mr. Halverson requested the min- ister to mame the child Oscar, but Mrs. Halverson had already talked the reverend gentleman over, and, to Mr. Halverson’s surprise and ‘indignation, the boy was christened not Oscar, but something else, whereby Mr. Halverson suffered serious disappointment, loss of authority in his household, laceration of a, ete., for is | F- of i j i ik i kick z Ee i i i uF 4 +4 j # i t i
