A paper cap, such as the very small boy delights to shoot in a toy pistol, is an inoffensive looking thing. But there is strength in union where small things are concerned as well as when the adage is applied to greater powers. Several young men of an experimental turn of mind procured a number of boxes of the Paper caps yesterday afternoon and placed them at intervals of about ten feet apart on the car track on Green street, between Broad and 13th. No sooner had they been ptaced in position than a car rounded the curve on Broad street and struck the first box. The effect was start- ling. There was a report Mke that of a heavily-charged shotgun, and the passen- gers all sprang to their feet. One afte another in rapid succession the remaining boxes exploded as the wheels passed over them, sounding almost like a volley of ar- tillery. At 13th street a nervous old laby alighted from the car, remarking that she thought she would walk the rest of the way. j sleeping on the floors. MORTALITY IN NEW YORK SLUMS. Many Tenement Houses Condemned by the Autherities. From the Arena. In the houses built for purely tenement purposes the depth of the house is in- creased until it occupies from 9% to 90 per cent of the lot, and, by splitting the rooms down the middle, each floor is made to accommodate four families. Then the house is run up to five stories in height, and gives shelter, though not much else, within its walls to twenty families, in- cluding frequently 100 people, sometimes increased by fifty or imore boarders and iodgers. For example, in a house in Cros- by street there were found 101 adults and ninety-one children; and in two houses on Mulberry street 150 boarders were found When a single house is thus made to contain the popula- tion of a good-sized village it may well be said that there are less square feet of the earth's surface alloted to each man, wo- wards of New York city than are allowed for them in the most crowded country graveyard. New York, at least, denies the trut of Bryant's strik- ing lines, that “All who tread the earth are but a handful to the tribes tnat slum- ber in Its bosom.” Not only have the old Knickerbocker mensions been changed into “double-deck- ers," but their former gardens, also, have been made to grow such fruit as gardens never grew before. It is here that the rear tenement has sprung up and brought it to pass that 43 per cent of the lots is often built upon, instcad of the 70 per cent which the law nominaily prescribes. Sur- rounded on all sid2s as these tenements are by higher buildings, and cut off from air and light to such an extent that the tenants of the lower floors must resort to the use of oil or candle at midday be- neath a cloudless sky, it is no wonder that, like Saul, they have killed their thousands. In one ward of New York, while the death Tate of single houses has twenty-nine to the thousand, the presenee of the rear tenements brought it up to sixty-two; and in twenty-four wards, where the average death rate for houses standing singly on the lot was twent, lwo, the average for front and rear honses was twenty-eight. To infants in particular the rear tene- ments have proved terribly fatal. While the death rate of children under five years of age in single zenements in one ward was 110, their death rate in front and rear tenements was % in tweive wards, where their average death rate in single tene- ments was 9), in front and rear it was 104, If it were possible to make a com- parison between singie tenements and rear tenements alone, these Startling figures would be still larger. Death's warning finger has at last been heeded, and during the summer of 18% the health department condemned eighty- four of these human slaughter houses. This salutary action was largely due to the efforts of Mr. Gilder’s committee, who carefully investigated the condemned houses and showed that the result of in- sanitary conditions was a death rate in these tenements during the past five years of from 22.02 to 75.05 in the thousand, Bphile the clty's death rate was less than ——+ e-+____ HOW THE SPERM WHALE FIGHTs. A Tremendous Conflict Between the Moustera of the Deep. From the Cornhill Magazine. Two “killers” and a huge swordfish (Xiphias), desperate with hunger, had com- bined their forces and ventured to attack a half-grown* bull cachalot. Nothing, I am persuaded, but the direct necessity and Pressure of want could have prompted them to undertake so grave a conflict, al- though it must reeds be confessed that their combination was a powerful one. It fell to the swordfish to lead off, and he launched himself at the whale like a Whitehead torpedo, ,ointed direct for the most vital part. But a gentle swerve of the wary cachalot presented to the attack, instead of the vulnerable broadside, the oblique, impenetrable mass of his head. The awful blow of the sword impelled by the furious speed of the mass behind it struck just before the whale’s eye, ripping a white streak diagonally upward through the grisly substance covering the skull, but spending its force in the air above, while the great body following glided ser- pentlike right over the whale’s head and fell helplessly upon the other side. With incredible agility for so vast a bulk, the cachslot turned, settling slightly withal, then rising, lower jaw uppermost, he caight the xiphias fairly in the center between those mighty shears and ciefi him in two halves. A sideway shake of the great head, a scarce perceptible gulp and the tail half of the swordfish slid down the whale’s cavernous throat with as much ease and rapidity as if it had been an oyster. Meanwhtlc the orcas had not been remiss in supporting the spirited attack of their Il-fated coadjutor. One hung upon either fank of thelr giant foe and worried him as dogs a boar. But their time had cuine. Aftec vainly endeavoring by rolling and writhing to free himself from them he sudden); ged his A ‘tactics. Rearing bimself =m: tically out of the seething eddies like a mighty column of biack tock, he fell beckward tearing himself away from the cl monsters. Up rose his enormous tail from the boiling vortex and descending iike a giant scythe literally crushed one of his aggressors beneath i, the sound of the blow reverberating like thunder. The survivor fied, but the in- furiated Titan pursued, leaping like a dol- Phin, half out of the sea at every‘ bound, and althovgh we could not see the end of the chase we had little doubt but that orca gladiator paid the full penalty of his rashness under the lethal sweep of those terrible jaws. ———_+e-+—__. - Thought He Lost His Eye.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 10.—By mutual consent between attorneys the cases agatnst the players of the Cleveland and Wash- ington teams, who were arrested early this season for violating the Sunday law, have been postponed untit 9. The de- cision of Judge Ong, declaring the Sunday law unconstitutional, was the cause for the postponement of. the cases against the other players. It fs made to allow the state time to carry the case against Powel! up to the cireuit court. Chief of Police Connor stated this morning that he did not know what course he would take in the matter of arresting the players tomorrow at the game with Washington. A ecnference of. police officials will be held to decide upon a method of procedure some time this afternoon. The police prose- cutor announces that exception will be filed to the ruling of Judge Ong and a peti- tion in error filed inthe circuit court at once. The town is strewn with hand bills an- nouncing the Sunday ball game tomorrow with the washington club. Extensive preparations are being made to make the event a memorable one. John Powell, the player whose case was made a test in police court, will be in the box for the Indians. President Robison will pitch the first ball and President Wag- ner of the Washingtons will catch it. It is belie ed that 25,000 will be present. —- ST. Louls. BROOKLYN.

A great game is expected at Natioval Park next Monday between the Bureaus and Shamrocks, both teams having been strengthened for this contest. Game will be called at 4:30. Bobby Matthews, the old Baltimore and Philadelphia pitcher, is in a Baltimore hospital suffering from mental trouble. For many years “Bobby” was the star of pitchers in professional base ball. He be- gan pitching in the early sixties, and lasted until about 1889, when he retired and took to umpiring. Bad health drove him from base ball altogether a few years back. ‘A week has been sent down the corridors of time without an umpire having been protested. There must be something wrong somewhere. Smoke up, somebody! Umpires may come and go, and Dan Campbell comes and goes oftener than most of them, but some time during the season he may be expected to land on Un- cle Nick's staff.

He has an easier berth and makes more money than he would in the National League. - ‘The Giants had a narrow escape on their way to Pittsburg.

RECORD OF A QUARTER CENTURY Institutions That Were Once Lead- ers in Rowing. A DISCARDED SPORT Intercollegiate boat racing dates from 1871, when crews from Brown, Harvard and the Massachusetts Agricultural Col- lege rowed a three-mile race In sixes on the Connecticut river at Springfield, Mass. In 1874 the race was transferred to Sara- toga lake, and rowed there for three years. It was a pepnlar contest, and thirteen crews lined up on the broad waters of the leke. This was the golden age of college rowing. The withdrawal of the Yale und Harvard crews gave the death blow to the establishment of annual intercollegiate rac- ing. After a short interval raciag was resumed on a smaller scale. Rowing in fours b came popular. Mr. George W. Childs of- fered a cup for an annual race on the Schuylkill] at Philadelphia. Columbia de- veloped a fast four, which was sent to the Henley regatta in England in 1878,and won the cup for college fours. Two years later Cornell defeated Columbia, and as the rep- resentative of American college oarsmen & Cornell four went to Enfland in 18s: and were defeated at Henley. In 1864 Harvard and Columbia began a series of races in eights,and two years later Yale and the University of Pennsylvania also met in eights. Yale and Harvard had raced in-eights over a four-mile course since 1876. In 1889 Cornell began to row in eights at New London, aopdag a chre2- mile course. In "% the distance was chang- ed to four miles, and Cais is the distance now rowed by the college eights.

A tournament is in progress, the second round having been played during the past week. Captain O'Farrell played off his postponed game with Mr. Crofts, winning it, and also won @ game from Mr. Thomas. Harris won from Campbell, Finn won from Prender, Tibbetts from Tucker and Smith from Crofts. Rey and Elwell did not play, as Mr. Elwell has left for his home in Brook- lyn, N. ¥. He will probably not return to finish his games, in which case his game with Smith last week will not count. Mr, Eiweil is a strong player, and with one or two exceptions has come out ahead in his games with local players. Harris and O'Farrell are tied for first Place, and an interesting contest is looked for. The captain will make a hard Nght to come out first on account of his cham- pionship ambitions. The present standing of the players is as foliows: ‘Won. Lost. Won.

Miss Rudge of England won first prize, with the score of 17 won and 2 lest. Signorina Fagan, the Italian, took second prize, with 14%3 won and 41 lost; Miss Thorold of England was third, with 14 won and 5 lost: Mrs. Worrall of America was fourth, with 13 won and 6 lost:Mme, Bonnefin of Belgium, fifth; and the sixth prize was divided between Mrs. Barry of Scotland and Lady Thomas, lady champion of England. The match between Messrs. P. O'Farrell and W. A. Gwyer, jr., has already come to @ conclusion. Mr. Gwyer won the fifth game, making the score 3 to 2. Then Mr. O'Farrell won the next two games and the match by the score of 5 to 2. Captain O'Farrell is still desirous of meeting the winner of the Wright-Walker match for the championship of the District of Co- lumbia. Mr. E. P. Hanna will also be a candidate for championship honors, so that the prospect is favorable for some inter- esting matches the coming winter. A summer tournament for the champion- ship of Canada is in progress at Orillia, Ontario. The masters’ tournament at Berlin will commence in September. The emperor will present a trophy, and the prizes will equal those at Nuremberg. Mr. Walker won his first game last Sat- urday evening in his match with Mr. Wright for the championship of the Dis- trict of Columbia. He obtained a slight advantage in position early im the game, and won a pawn, owing to Mr. Wright's overlooking the reply to his fourteenth move. The pawn was recovered, however, on the eighteenth move. The play was un- sound, but black did not have time to care- fully study the position. Mr. Wright was beginning to assume the aggressive, when black’s thirty-first move came as a sur- prise. To prevent a mate, it was necessary to sacrifice the queen. The present stand- ing of the players is: Wright, 4: Walker, 1; (rawn, 1. The score of the game is as fol- jows: Open White. Black. White. Binck. F.M.Wright. F.B.Walker. P.M. Wright. FB.
