Y. avenue, ee ee ee ee Fat Folks, Attention! LINE “PIED” THE POSTER, New York Bill From the Troy Times. An inebriated bill poster in New York the other day caused plenty of trouble, and in one instance almost induced one of his fellow-townsmen to swear off. The lat- ter was riding uptown on a cable car. He had caught @ glimpse of a huge stand of bills on a fence, and thought the most con- spicuous line of type read like this: “Matsondqugasnearder.”” He reflected. “Sure as fate, late hours, incessant smok- ing and night work have done me up. I'll see an oculist if my sight holds out another day.” After riding a few blocks and find- ing that he could read with ease all the brewery signs on the corner saloons, and could make out the advertisements of safety pins, dress lining and cable car transfers displayed in the car, he felt bet- ter. When he got off the car his trouble reappeared. Directly in front of him was another billboard bearing a stand of bills fresnly posted up, and this time he stood and read with care this iegend: ‘“‘Damsoin- sagqenurarde.” “Overcome by the heat,” he muttered. “I felt it coming on. away. of me.” He darted down a side street and into an inviting beer garden. After emptying two or three steins he decided to walk over to the boulevard and look at the cyclists. As he rounded a corner of the boulevard his knees trembled. His Nemesis had not followed him, but had got there first. Shading his eyes with his hat and leaning against the tree he spelled out carefully that mysterious word. 18 time it was different. odsquagarnedre.”” “Paresis, first stage,” was his comment. Then he moved closer to the awful bill- board, stared at it and read and reread that grinning jumble of letters. Finally he serewed up his courage sufficiently to walk up to the fence and look that stand of bills “squarely in the face," as he put it. The horrid line was there, sure enough. . But down in the corner, in very small type, was the key. It read: ‘Madison Square Garden.” Then the victim -knew that some bill poster had pied all the big sheets of what is known as “the date line,” and he will continue to stay up nights, he will not give up smoking, he will not con- sult an oculist, and if he ever needs any bill posting he will have it done by a man who can read print without glasses. “4 oo Some Uses of Lace. From the Boston Herald. Apropos of black Maltese lace, there is @ rare chance just now for the owners of these big lace shawls, the delight ot our grandmothers. They make lovely skirts if their owners can make up their minds to pick out the centers, a sort of sun-ray skirt setting in points over a silk or satin foundation resulting from this sacrilegious act, which must be well weighed in the balance ere committed, says an exchange. While on the subject of lace, a chic little girl who manages on a wonderfully small allowance tells me she finds an Irish lace bolero most valuable. It elips on over any bodice, and being of ecru tint tunes it- self to any colored gown. It certainly look- ed very convincing on her bodice of tucked purple glace and purple cashmere skirt, with its fin‘sh cf a turquoise-blue ribbon cravet, and such a bolero can continue its career om the tea gown or blouse, or be con- verted into something else when the bolero is at last forsaken by fashion. Lace can be so turned and twisted, and lasts so long when well cared for, it is really scarcely to be deemed an extrava- gance, but rather an investment—that 1s, for the woman who appreciates the dis- tinction it always confers on the simplest confection. That lace is old and heavy looking 1s completely refuted by the triumphs of to- day, for the fin de siecle faiseur weds it to really congenial fabrics, and nicely se- lects his quantity and texture. see Caught the Fox From a Bicycle. From the Chicago Tribune. Rese Gordon, who ig of Eastport, L. 1., and skillful on the wheel, was treading an easy measure on the new stretch of macadam between Riverhead and Eastport whea a handsome young fox loped in be- side htm and seemed to challenge him for a race. Gordon was afraid of running over it, but the fox kept up to ‘his increasing I must get home right Everything is swimming in front it read: Manis- pace. Away they went down the path at a 2:30 clip. Neither could get away from the oth- er. At last a wild idea of conquest seized the rider, and, leaning over his handle bars, he grasped Sir Reynard by the nape of the neck and lifted ‘him into the air.

Alice Page, the young negro woman who attempted to commit suicide last night by taking laudanum, walked out of the Alex- andria Infirmary this morning a well wo- man. Officers Roberts and Beach, while patrol- ling their beat last night, found Alice lying in an unconscious condition at the head of King street. The officers took her to the station house, from which place she was removed to the infirmary. The officers used heroic efforts to save her life, it being seen that she had taken laudanum. She was kept awake by the greatest exertions. This is said to have been the third time the woman has attempted to end her life. Pelice Coart.

The matter of having electric cars cross the Aqueduct bridge \s of special interest to the residents of this locality, and there are very few who are opposed to such use of the structure. The fact that the Com- missioners are in favor of the project and recommend the passage of a bill for the Purpose increases the interest. : The project has been agitated almost since the construction of the present structure.

They are required to walk ucroas the bridge to se- cure car connections, and this they look upon as a great inconventence. Arrested on a Grave Charge. Edward Wilson, colored, aged twenty, an employe of the Great Falls Ice Company, was arrested last evening by Policeman Wheeler and held on the rather serious charge of criminal assault. The com- plainant is Sarah Carter, colored, who keeps a small store on Water street, near Bist street. The offense is alleged to have been committed yes . ‘The woman keeps a small store, and Wilson asked permission to go out into the yard, which was granted. The woman was alone in the house at the time, and on his return Wilson is alleged to have attempted the assault. The womin told her husband, and he tmmediately swore out a warrant for the arrest of Wilson, wno was caught by the police later in the evening. Miss Hanlon’s IHiness. Word kas been received here of the se- rious illness of Miss Annie Hanlon, daugh- ter of Mr. Anthony Hanlon, the well-known grocer, who recently entered the Visitation Convent at Frederick as a novice. Miss Hanlon took the white veil but a few months ago. A few days since she was stricken with typhoid fever, and her con- dition became serious. Last evening she was not expected to live the night through, though this morning she was reported us resting better. Her father has secured the services of Dr. J. F. Moran of this city, who makes daily trips to Frederick to at- tend to the sick girl. Repairs Needed. According to the police reports a number ot minor repairs are needed in this section of the city. The fire plug at the corner of 30th and K streets is reportod to be leaking. The hydrant at the northeast corner of 30th and K streets is also in need of im- mediate attention. A dangerous hole in the sidewalk is reported in front of 3052 M street. Brief Mention.

Monday morning between 8 and 9 o'clock a freight train on the Baltimore and Poto- mac railroad obstructed the crossing at Virginia avenue and 7th street southwest. Cable cars and pedestrians were delayed, and Policeman Shannon, who happened to reach there while the crossing was ob- structed, had the conductor of the train, John W. Cranford, in the Police Court today. ‘The officer stated his complaint, and said he thought the train could have been cut at the crossing in order to have permitted cable curs and pedestrians to pass. Four cable cars, he said, were compelled to stop at the crossing. Conductor W. C. Lewis of the Capitol Traction Company told the court that his car was delayed at the crossing eight min- utes. On behalf of the railroad company it was claimed that the long freight train was switched over on a siding in order to allow the Southern express to pass, “These trains have to go over the cross- ings,” remarked counsel for the company, “and among other things carry the mail.” “And so does the cable road,” added Mr. Pugh. It was stated that the freight train in question was a long one und reached over both the 6th and 7th street crossings. The defendant and others of the crew claimed that their train did net stop, as had been stated, but was kept moving. Pedestrians and street cara, the judge said, have as ‘much right at crossings as have the steam cars, and the former must be given the right of passage. The law, the judge added, had been clearly violated ard he imposed a fine of $5. ——_—_ HE WORE OVERALLS, But the Way He Twirled That Ball Made the Opposing Team Weep. - From the Detroit Free Press. “My experience as a base ball manager was down in the ofl regions when money was plenty and sporting blood was at fever heat. The most formidable team with which I had to contend was in a neighbor- ing town, and whole fortunes changed hands before the championship was deter- mined. The crowds were so strongly par- tisan that a few dozen stalwart policemen were always a necessity. We had to pay umpires princely salaries, and I never knew one of them to preside at more than a single game. “So close had been the season's play that we were tied, with the decisive contest to be had in our town. For some reason that I have never been able to fathom, three of my best players had disappeared and among them our crack pitcher. I had enough men, but they were not the right men. I guess that there must have been wholesale toodling on both sides, for when the opposing team came to count noses they could find but eight. The fiower of, the flock was missing and our fellows felt jubilant. The enemy made a big effort to defer the game, but the umpire, one of our selection, stood pat on the proposition that they must either play or forfeit. Just to simulate feirness, we allowed them to choose any player they could find in the enormous crowd, and they decided that they would at least die fighting. “Their selection was a six-footer, slim as @ Mghtning rod, loose in every print zee. headed, freckled and wearing a uniform that consisted of overalls and a check shirt. And he went into the bex while the thousands shed tears because of laughter. The first ball described the outlines of a ram's horn and then shot over the plate with a sizzle.

From the St. Louis Republic. “A Texas and Pacific railroad train re- cently made 83.1 miles in 82 minutes, an average of a mile in less than a minute, in- cluding five stops,” said W. T. McChesney of Dallas at the St. Nicholas. “The run was made between Ptaquemine and Goulds- boro’, La. The reason of this remarkabie run was on account of the illness of the wife of State Senator Wilbert, who desired to carry her to New Orleans with all pos- sible speed. He wired to Dallas for a spe- cial train, and in a few minutes it was dashing on its way to Plaquemine, sete Mrs. Wilbert was placed aboard at and the train reached Gouldsboro’ at , a distarce of $3.1 miles.
