Philadelphia is back in first place. Jimmy Slagle’s playing was once more the feature of the game in Philadelphia yesterday. Selbach tied the score in New York yes- terday with a home run, and it will be In- teresting to watch “Sel's” playing from ncw on. here is not a better player in the big league than the German Senator when things begin to break in his favor. “Cupid” Childs is playing a great game for the Chicagos, his second base fielding and batting being reminders of the days when Clarence was at his b The result at St. Louis yesterday must be taken with a grain of salt. A win by the Chicagos means big business for both teams in the latter city for the next three days, and the Colts were in for a cold re- ception at home otherwise. Charley Irwin has evidently regained his batting eye, his work with Cincinnati far this season being of the gilt edge qua! With Irwin batting around .300 the Reds’ management need not look further for a third baseman. Professional clubs tn need of a short stop should keep “tab” on Moran of the George- towns. It has been given out that he will not play professionally, but a good stiff financial proposition might make him change his mind. He has all the earmarks of beng a second McGraw, being alert at all times to the fine points of the game, and as a hitter and fielder he is in the very first class. The veteran Van Haltren is playing, if anything, better ball than ever in center field for New York this season. Several of his plays have been remarkable, his throwing being extremely accurate, and at the bat Van is hitting away over the .300 mark. Manager Fred Clarke of Pittsburg got off a good one at Cincinnati the other day. The Pirates had just defeated the Reds, and he was asked for an opinion of his club. He said he couldn't tell yet, as they had not faced any first-class clubs. There were three men on the bases for the Pirates tn Cincinnati when the triple play was made the other day. O'Brien drove a hot liner to Irwin at short, and as all runners had started with the crack of the ball against the bat it was an easy matter to toss the ball to Steinfeld and then to Beckley at first. It took the crowd some time to realize the importance of the play, but when it did the enthusiasm was something tremendous. Walter Brodie yesterday signed a con- tract to play for Comiskey’s Chicago West- ern League team at a salary of $1,900 for the balance of the season, and wiil leave for his new field today. Fred Clarke made this sensible statement to Ed Grillo at Cincinnatiyesterday: “There is no way for me to tell how strong we are until we have pares every team in the league. When we ve been over the cir- cuit I will be able to size things up,” said he. “We looked very strong today because we were hitting timely and the Reds were not hitting, but, under iin a cireum- stances, we would look like lobsters tomor- row. The winners always look stronger than the losers. A man who makes any claims this early in the is teams this year It ds going to be a case of hustle from start to finish. It will be a great race. Thete, ame no weak teams in the league, though some look stronger on paper than others. We have a strong team and will play every ie we can, but fur- ther than that ff is too early to say any- thing.” 3 STARTERS 4N- KENTUCKY DERBY. Some of the Famogs Sprinters Which Have tee#@ Entered. LOUISVILLE, April 27.—Secretary Price of the ngw Ignisville Jockey Club said today that@at ist ten horses would start in the Kegituck derby on Thursday next. Among ters are Lieut. Gib- scn, Kentucky Fariig§ Thrive, F.W. Brode, Florizar, Highland; Bid, Orontas, Flaunt, Dieudonne and His* Excellency. George Long's Hindus is also a probable starter. The track at Churchill Downs is now in good shape. Flaunt wes sent a mile and an eighth in LST yesterday, the mile being covered in 1. Lieut. Gibson and Ken- tucky Farmer will be worked today the full derby route. 4 Tomorrow's Game at Georgetown. Tomorrow afternoon Georgetown will play the strong University of Maryland team. Maryland, it wiil be remembered, was bare- ly beaten by Yale a few weeks ago. There are not many more games to be played at Georgetown before the team leaves on iis northern trip. Manager Greeny will to- morrow return to the plan of admitting 1a- dics free of charge to the grounds and stand, It will be Bob Blewett's turn to pitch tomorrow, and the big fellow is in perfect condition. Next week, Wednesday, Washington will have its first opportunity of secing the Car-4 lisle Indians. Manager Grecny has suc- ceeded in his efforts to secure them for a Same on the day mentioned. The red men are quite as skillful on the ball field as they are on the gridiron, which means that Georgetown will have a hard road to travel if the braves are to be sent home with their feathers ruffled. Tomorrow's game will start at 4 o'clock. Ready for Challenges. The team representing the Crescént Ath- letic Club defeated the Young Lions by 10 to 9.

Did he bring a little pig with him?” “No, Miss Innocence,” he answered, “that particular actor, nor any other given to the ‘hogging’ habit, was not accompanied on the boards by a porcine, four-legged piece of ham and pork tenderloin. “Human nature, -you know, is about the same in all parts of the world, among all races of man, and ts exhibited in all call- ings and places. And actors on the stage are no exceptions to the rule. It is an ex- emplification of taking advantage of the main chance by some who have the temer- ity or the positign, by virtue of their rank in the company, to do so. “An Illustration of temerity Mes in this brief history to sucdess: A rather pretty ané very bright and fivacious little actress was one of the leadi members of a vau- deville stock compan¥ playing in thie city @ couple of seasons ago. While here, con- stituting ono of @ semi-circle of a chorus of damsels, she was given to the habit under discussion, and she would break in upon the song or the act of a fellow member with smirks and funny twistings of the features and smiles, or with frisky kicks and swish of skirts, according to the character of the song or sketch she was forcing herself into. “Of course, she had no superior right to do this Mttle side performance over the other members of the company, and if they had all been seized with the same inclina- tion you might picture what the stage would have resembled. But it was her way, and as she was a general favor®e it was overlooked by the management, and she frolicked at will.during the time she ap- peared here. It gave her, of course, a local reputation, and she received considerable applause. : “Last season the young lady was engaged to appear in a non-speaking part in a Bos- ton theater. But the audience could see her all right, and that was all she needed. The first night of that show was’a revela- tion. Whoever else the audience may not have seen on the stage, they saw her. She put her Washington training into evidence with a vengeance greater than the aged father demands in the piece we are at pres- ent witnessing. She smirked and grinned and cavorted when the opportunity present- ed, that took the breath away from her fel- low members on the stage. They didn’t know what they were running up against, but found out the next day when the critics said that ‘this brilliant-hued ttle girl from Washington’ the success of the plece. There were heartburnings among the lady members sufficient to raze the theater to the ground, but to no avall. She had won her success, and the theater-goers of the hub worshiped at her shrine, while the management gave her a big salary, got a contract, and hegged for the sake of all she Tevered not to get sick, but to show up every performance. “This little lady proved herself a genius at ‘hogging’ the stage, as she made herself famous in a single night. “Actors fully appreciate the advantage to be gained by hogging the stage or their parts, and will do so at every opportunity. Much ill-feeling results, but nevertheless they will doit. It is an acknowledged thing and an undisputed right for the star to hog the stage, his part and the entire play, predicating his privilege upon the fact that he is the star and that the public come to see him and not the rest of the company. “This phase of human nature is exem- plified in the actions of the man who hogs the end seat tn a street car or the entire seat in a railway car with his baggage and = HARD TO BELIEVE. EFFECTS OF COFFEE ON HUMAN BEINGS. “Every time that I indulged, even in a weak cup of coffee, I suffered with a terrible headache and disordered stomach: Ten months ugo I quit coffee altogether and took up Portum Food Coffee. I have no more headaches! ‘am yery much stronger and in Detter flesh than I was before I began. I can work hard all Gay without feeling tired at all. “Before I crank. Postum I got so tired at my work that I had to Me down in the afternoon, Oe- cesionally I would. faint away. A lady friend, an author, saya she would not be without Postum Food Coffee for anything in the world. She uses it three times a day-and says it keeps her mind clear and bright and her body ‘healthy. “Another friend, ‘8 Iady:who is a cripple and has been an invalid for a long while, took up Postum Coffee about two years ago. She bas gained many Pounds, and her flosh is Dow hard and firm. It natural we should. sing praises of Postum.”* Miss Ida M. Forney, 24 Highland Ave., Melrose Highiands, Mass. It will be obserged from the above that each person showed am increase in sturdy irength, brought about by: leaving off coffee and the use of Postum Food Coffee. The reason for this experience is‘ that the polsonous alkaloids contained in regular coffee, prostrated the nervous system, bringing on allforts of aches and alls, and disintegrating the delicate cells in the nerve cen- ters, destroying and throwing out the elements absolutely required by Nature for maintaining good, sound, nervous strength and health. When coffee is discontinued, Nature secks to set up a healing and repair the damage. The efforts of Nature are powerfully aided by certain elements in Postum Food Coffee which come from parts of the field grain, selected especially for the purpose, by the makers of Postum. One-of the principal elements is phosphate of potash—a delicate, micro- scople product used by the system in combination with albumen of the food to make up the in the nerve centers of the human body. There is a well-defined reason why people can add te their strength and health by leaving off coffee P $3.50) = for choice. Short-Back Sailors. “Opening” of the season for these begins here tomorrow.

It is the main chance we are all looking out for, and the stage is the only place that the histrionics may chase it as it flits by. “The most notable instance of hogging a situation and the political stage of modern times was that of William J.

A Member of Humane Society Com- plains of a Method of Their Killing. “Opposite my window,” said a member of the Humane Society, “is a stable which is infested with rats, as each morning severa! are brought out in wire traps, the catch of over night. “These entrapped rodents are released on the asphalt one by one, to be pursued, caught, shaken and kliled by a frisky little fox terrier, who takes great interest in his work. “A crowd of boys and stable hands sur- round the trap, and as each victim is re- leased his course and that of the little ter- rier is followed with shouts of laughter, and when the pursued is In a good way of making his escape by reason of passing ve- hicles with cries of apprehension to the ter- rier and ejaculations to him to ‘get a move’ on himself. I never saw one escape, how- ever. “I wouldn't pose as a defender of any- thing of the rodent species, as they are a recognized pest, and their extermination is a matter of necessity. It seems to me, however, that some method other than this one ought to be devised for their destruc- tion. The public street is not a fit place for it, and it is not a pleasant sight, especially to ladies, to witness the crowd, the flying terrier, the fleeing, strugating. squealing rats, and afterward their dead bodies lying around on the pavement to be gathered up. “Of course, if no rear yard is available, the street must be used, as they could not be released in the building. It is certainly More humane to have them killed thus than to pour scaiding water over them, but I wish that some method could be which would obviate the practice of which I complain, and I am sure that my feelings are reciprocated by those who are compelled to witness such a sight daily. “Rats caught in wire traps may easily and painlessly be put to death by the fumes of chloroform. But this drug is expensive, rats are worthless, and the fox terrier and the spectators enjoy the ‘sport’—three reasons why it is not administered.” —<—<—< Legitimate. From the Chicago News. As the ex-convict stepped through the iron door the helping hand was present. “I trust that in the future you will keep out of the toils,” said the good man. “Well, yer see {t's dis way, parson,” re- sponded the ex-convict, “I wants to keep out of jail, but at de same time de tempta- tion to rob is pretty strong.” “Then I'll see about getting you a posi- tion filling prescriptions in a drug store. TROUBLE IN A CHURCH. A Too Inclusive Scriptural Text on the Dr. John Hall Tablet. Frem the New York Sun. There is a discussion amounting almost to a scandal in the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church over the tablet recently placed in the vestibule in memory of the Rev. Dr. John Hall. The text of Scripture which is inscribed on the tablet has caused much comment in the church and outside of St, and there are not a few of the congregation who feel that something should be done to modify the work of the committee that had the preparation of the tablet in charge. The tablet is on the wall of the vestibule of the church, at at the right of the prin- cipal door. It is thus inscribed: RBV. JOHN HALL, D.D., LL.D. Born County Armagh, Ireland, July 31, 1829. Died County Down, Ireland, September 17, 1898. For forty-nine years A Presbyterian Minister. Pastor of this Church From Nov. 3, 1867, to Sept. 17, 1898. “There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. oe ______ SANDGLASSES Are Still Used for a Variety of Pur- Poses. From the New York Sun, Strange to say, sandglasses are still used to measure varying periods of time. The size depends upon the purposes to which they are to be put. The hour glass Is still in use in the sick room and in the music Toom, in both places affording a sure and silent indication of the progress of time. Half-hour glasses are used in schools, and fifteen-minute glasses are used for medical Purposes, and the sandglass also goes into the kitchen as an aid to exact cooking. There are also ten-minute glasses, five-min- ute glasses and three-minute glasses, the two latter being used to time the boiling period of eggs. The three-minute sandglass is called an “egg boiler.” Sandglasses are also used for scientific purposes and on shipboard, being more convenient than holding a watch. They are made in this country and are also imported from abroad. The sand is carefully prepared by a thorough cleaning, including boiling. It is then baked dry and then into the requisite fineness and ugh opening left for that purpose in the end of one bulb, the Delt The right quantity in each sai actual! is individually treated @ good .
