Jamleson started in to piteh for the Rourkes, but soon developed that he was about as effective as a 6-year-old boy, and was yanked out and Papa Bill took a turn, Jamie- son taking Fear's place on right in order that he might be called back to the box if Pa falled to turn the trick. This he did in the most picturesque manner, for with the three runs they had off of the big blonde in this inning, prohibitionists made it an even dozen oft of Papa, and Lookabaugh was hunted up, given a uni- form and told to pitch the game out, Rourke going to right and Jamieson to the stable. In the following five innings they only hit Lookabaugh safely seven times, and scored but four more runs, showing that if they had had him in at the beginuing they would have won the same. But the least sald about the contest the better. Tho management found ft- selt in the hole for a pitcher and ‘that s the story in 4 nut- shell. Nelther Abbéy not Whitehili will play Sunday ball. President McVittie, how- ever, is expecting two new men daily, and says he will yet make a big bid for the flag. Today the Rourkes are In L'ncoln, where they will also play Tuesday and Wednesday, Then they go to St. Joe for three games and arrive home again for Sunday and Mon- day with St. Joe, and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the last games of the season at home, with the Lincoins.

An Olio River Boy's Kemarkable Musical Talent At Pomeroy, 0., when one sits on sum- mer evenings, perchance in front of one of the leading hostelries, he commands a sweeping view of the Ohio river, both up and down stream. Often strangers enjoying the charms of the situation are surprised to hear the staccato notes, apparently of a steam calliope on some distant packet. They learn, however, that the calliope’s motes are those of & human voice, two miles down the river. John J. Curtis has won the local sobriquet of the “human calliope.” He s about 18 years of age, and a very manly looking youth, of great breadth of shoulders and ca- pacity of lung. Down at the factory of evenings he is wont to give strange vocal exhibitions to liis fellows and the neighbor- i1 5 country at large. Mounted on a pile of pig Ilron, he braces himself, takes a long breath, and then from an oval-shaped mouth emits, without any apparent effort, tones that for strength and far-reaching quality his auditors declare they have never heard the equal. On clear nights this voice can be heard for over two miles. With a ready ear for music young Curtls “plays” or rather shouts, many of the popular airs of the day, and is looked upon as a great cele- brity in his section, —— The First Sympathetic Strike. In a sermon recently the Rev. William E. Barton of Boston sald that a sympathetic strike reminded him of the old woman who was unable to persuade her pig to jump over the stile. S0 she commanded the dog to bite the pig. When the dog refused she commanded the stick to beat the dog. Then, as refusal followed refusal, she ordered the fire to burn the stick, and the water to quench the fics, and the ox to drink the water, and (%o butcher to kill tbe ox, and’ the rope to hang the butcher, and the rat to gnaw the rope, and the cat' to catch the rat. Here, by reason of the old-time animosity of the cal against the rat, she succeeded. The cat began to catch the rat, and the rat to save its life began to gnaw the rope, and the rope to es- cape destruction began to hang the butcher, and the buicher to save his neck began to kill the ox, and the ox began to drink the water, and the water to qench the fire, and the fire to burn the stick, and the stick to beat the dog. Thereupon the dog proceeded to bite the pig, and the plg jumped over the stile. and the old woman went on her way rejoicing. That was the first sympathetic strike on record, 00D "AY AND LITTLE WORK Duties and Compensition of Obaplai the Army ard Navy. EASY LIFE POSITIONS ON LAND AND SEA Snap Mach Sought For and Liber- ally Rewarded—-No Heresy Trinls Nor Captions Criticlsms by Deacons— Teaching and Preac Congressman Springer has found an easy berth for Lis son in an army chaplaincy. There Is as much pressure for places of this sort as for any of the minor offices in the gift of the president. Great numbers of cler- gymen, says the Washington correspondent of the Globe-Democrat, are always anxious to get an opportunity to serve Uncle Sam pro- fessionally. To that end some of them give up rich and prospering parishes, though why Is o mystery. Apparently the almost uni- versal appetite for place-hunting selzes them. The United States army has thirty-four chaplains, stationed at forts all over the country even of them are Baptists, nine Eplscopalians, eleven are Methodists, two are Presbyterians, one i& a Congrega- tionalist, one is a Lutheran, one is a Chris- tian, and two are Catholic priests, The Question of denomination cuts no figure in this branch of the service. Appointments are always made by favor and Without any regard whatever for the religious demands of soldiers and officers. Four of the chap- lains referred to are regimental chapiains, attached to the four colored regiments, two of infantry and two of cavalry. Three of thes: men are negroes, The pay of a newly commissioned army chaplain is $1,350 a year, to which 10 per cent is added for each five years of service. He has always the relative rank of o cap- tain of infantry. After retirement he ro- celves three-fourths of the pay of that rank, No age limit restricts appointment A clergyman may enter the service at the age of 63 years dnd 11 months, retiring a few later with the rank and pay of a cap- tain. It will be scen that a chaplain fs actually much better off than a line officer, inasmuch as he does not have to go through long years of service for slow promotion Like a captain, he is entitled to commodi- OUS quarters at government expense, com- prising five rooms, NOT OBLIGED TO FIGHT. A chaplain In the army is not obliged to fight under any circumstances. He has no arms. His uniform is a plain black frock coat buttoned to the neck with mine black buttons. It is prescribed that the buttons shall be in front; to button the garment up behind would not be consistent with the rogulations. This, with a black hat, serves for both undress ‘and full dress. The ehap- lain has charge of religious matters in gen- eral at the post where he Is stationed. - Ho enters in a book all marriages, baptisms and funerals at which he officlates. This book Is a part of the records of the post and is regularly inspected. In addition he superintends the instruction of enlisted men and children at the post. He Is a school teacher as well as a clergyman. It fs quite as likely as not that the re- liglous views of the army people at the post will not colncide with those of the chaplain in matters of detail governed by sectarian prejudice. His assignment to duty has no reference to that consideration. At a post where Presbyterian sentiment prevails. a Catholic priest may be on duty. However nobody who does not wish to do 5o is obliged to attend divine service. Even the com- mon soldiers and sailors of the United States can not be subjected to compulsion in this regard. Before the war pious commanding officers at certain forts compelled all non- church going soldiers to spend an hour or more every Sunday in listening o the read- ing of the regulations and articles of war. This was in effect a punishment, and it has been done away with. Similarly, Ad- miral Godon used to force saflors who did not attend divine service to toe a plank for awhile. An act of congress passed In 183§ created the office of “post chaplain and schoolmas- ter.” The appointee was neither enlisted nor commissioned, The pay attached fo the position was raised from time to time until it reached $100 a month, to which rations were added, In 1867 congress made the chaplains commissioned officers, and gave them relative rank as captains. They are obliged to pass only a physical examina- tion, but it is required that they shall be regularly ordained clergymen in good staud- ing in their denominations. Young W. R, Springer, the congressman's son, was or- ained ns a Methodist minister two months ago. He Is 25 years old. For some time past he has been clerk of his father's com- mittee on banking and currency fin the house at $6 a day. THE NAVY PARSON'S SNAP. An appolntment as chaplain in the United States navy is even more desirable than in the army.” Ia is likewise a life position. equally a’ sinccure, and much better pald. The naval clergyman during his first five vears of service gets $2,500 per annum while at sea, §2,000 on shore duty, and $1,600 on leave. " Affer five years he reccives 32,800 at sea, 32,300 ashore, and $1,900 on leave. There s no further advance of salary, On being retired he draws for the rest of his lite 75 per cent of his sea pay of $2,800 a year. It will easily be seen that these Dlaces are among the most desirable in the Bift of the government. There are twenty chaplains in the navy now. According to law, the four olde.. in the service have rela- tive rank as captains, the next seven rank a8 commanders, the next seven as lieuten- ant commanders or lieutenants, while the rest have no rank. The duties of a chaplain at sea are by no means arduous, He must perform divine service on the ship at such times as the captain may prescribe; also, he may be de- talled to duty on board of a vessel which has no regular chaplain, or at a naval hos- pital or shore station. He is permitted to conduct services according to the methods recognized as proper by the church. At the same time, he must afford all facilities to other clergymen who may be allowed by the captain to visit the ship for the purpose of preaching or giving religious instruction. It a Hebiew rabbi comes aboard with that ob- ject in view, he must be weleomed. The chaplain may fom Sunday school classes on board ship, w.th the captain’s ap- proval. He must not push his religious in- struction where it is not wanted, but he may proselytize privately as much as he likes, He is required to visit the sick frequently. Under the direction of the commanding officer he supervises the teaching of boys and such of the sailor men as desire to learn reading, wri'ing, arithmetic and geography. He must report 1o the captain at the end of each week what has been taught and the progress made by each pupll. On shore stations he has_ often nothing to do. Rev. Mr, Henry B. Hibben, lately deceased, was on duty for a long time at (he Washington navy yard. Having nothing else to occupy himself with, he was Instructed by the commandant to write a history of the yard. The volume, which contains much interesting matter, wili soon be published by congress. Every man on board of a modern war ship Is supposed to be & fighter. The naval chap- lain might be called upon by the commanding officer to pass ammunition or even to help in Nandiing a gun. However, his duty would ordinarily be to aid the wounded. While performing divine service he wears the vest- ments of his church. At other times he is clad in a uniform of black with shoulder straps having crosses as part of their design There are two Catholic priests in the navy The sallors are largely Catholic, many of them being Irish, French and Itallans. But 10 attention whatever is paid Lo such matters i the appointment of chaplains or their as- signments to duty. 1t is required that a can- didate for one of these positions shall not be under 21 years of age or over 35. The ex- amination fs physical only. A MESSMATE NOT ALWAYS WELCOME. A chaplain on board ship takes his meals with the ward room mess. He may say grace before meat, if the officer who hap- pens to be caterer does not object, It is unfortunately a fact that chaplains as & rule are not very popular In the navy. It is casily understood that a clergyman finds himself In rather an anomslous position among a lot of young officers in the ward room. Some of them are apt to be more or less ribald, and there is much of the merri- ment in which a ministyr of the gospel can- not well join. On the other hand, to sit apart and look soléfiy is not desirable. A chaplain bas been kwowh to spoil all the tun of a mees, objecting to smoking, and so causing the withdeawsl of that privilege from the ward room, by the captain. On the other hand, theresare good fellows in this branch of the' seryice who take things as they find them, and’take as Jarge a part 1. amusements on.boatd and ashore as |s Pignitted to them By the cloth they wear. he percentage of Catholles among sallors in the United States navy Is growing rap- idly less on account of this policy which now prevalls of enlisting Americans in preference to forefgners. A visitor on one of our war ships is astonished to hear strange languages spoken by a majority of the blue jackets on board. Down at Old Point Comfort the other day one Norwégian seaman belonging to the Miantonomoh was heard to remark to one of his mates: “I saw him yump Yasus, what a yump!” Orthodoxy cuts no laincy business. No or army has ever been tried for heresy There would seem to be no kood reason why women should not serve capably as army chaplains, but they are not possible In_the na No woman s allowed on board of a sea-going ship of war, except as a visitor. When Farragut visited Europe on the Wabash after the close of the rebellion, he could not take Mrs. Farragui with him She was obliged to cross the ocean on a mail steamer, A chaplain may be army or navy like any the president of the United State ever, can not deprive him of his commis slon without a court-martial. As might be imagined, Uncle m's chaplains have rarely got into trouble, One of them was permitted to resign a few years ago on ac- count of immorality, which™ the ecretary of war thought it undesirable to advertise by holding an open court and publishing the facts in general orders for the edification of the entire service. CHAPLAINS OF CONGRESS. Congress employs two chaplains. Each of them receives $900 a year, which is fairly good pay for a short daily prayer during e sions. The chaplain of the house of repre- sentatives is Edward B. Bagby. His pre- decessor in that position, William H. Mil- burn, 1s now chaplain of the senate. He is blind. Rev. Mr. Milburn may be considered the most distinguished chaplain in the gov- ernment service. He s certainly the most famous, Though fhe place of chaplain of the house is in politics, he kept it through changes of control in that body, partly on a count of sympathy with his physical affliction. Objection was sometimes made to his minis- tra'fon on the ground that his prayers occa- sionally had a political basis, which was con- sidered hardly fair. tepresentatives and senators in congress who are clergymen are invited now and then to offer prayer, relleving the regular chap- lain of that duty. Senator Kyle and Dr. Everett are examples, Any clerical relative of a senator or representative who may hap pen to be in Washington at any time is apt 10 be invited to officiate, as a matter of com- pliment. The father of Mr. Dolliver did so only recently. 1t has been frequen‘ly proposed that chap- lains in the army and navy should be done away with. It is charged that they are of no practical use and that their places are sine- cures which would be best abolished. How- ever, the weight of public opinion seems’ to incline to the conclusion that the twin serv- ices are rather godless any way, and are none the worse for a little religious super- vision, into the yolly boat figure chaplain In the chap- in the navy digmissed fro other officer. —_—— CAPITOL CRANKS. Queer Geniuses that Loiter in the Corridor of the Big, ilding. There is a certaln gpscies of mankind in Washington, says ihe Post, that is as closely intertwined with the doings at the capitol as certain creepers with the forest oak. They thrive o.'v in the atmosphere of the big building; tiey are found nowhere else. - No- body knows 1 uw they cke out an existence, and. nobody pi:rtifularly cares. — They are there day in and day,out, oscillatng betwe>n the house and senate doors like a shuttle- cock. E The typical genlus of the corrider, the walter at the lobby doors, supports gravely the dignity of a departed gentility, wears a well brushed coat, white vest and sometimes natty overgaiters that bear a remote re- semblance in color to his faded trousers, and cover a pair of polished shoes. His whole bearing is one of elegant neglect, a semi-artistic or literary air, marked by the luster of his intelligent eyes, the confusion of his hair, the delicacy of his hands, the care- less tying of his cravat. He talks entranc- ingly, with a dash of levity, of cynicism, in his conversation. One is never sure whether he Is serious or quizzing. Evidently he Is a man who was patted cn the back In his youth with a prediction, and was side- tracked somewhere In the mighty steeple- chase, and has never becn able to get right. His levity sounds like the mockery of shat- tered hopes. Pride delers him from ac- knowledging his own mistakes, The whole ruck of humanity has tramped past him and left him standing by the wayside In cynical solitude, & miserable jester casting his jibes after the rushing multitude. He thinks he Is a great man unrecognized, unappreciated. Some day, he fancics, for- tune will hand him over an opportunity on a silver plate and send him speeding to his goal with a benevolent slap on the back. Then, he thinks, he will ghow the world what'a mistake it has made in not drawing him out of his obscurity long ago. If you talk with him five minutes you de- tect the crank that moves the machinery of his existence. His mind is a beehive of fantastic visions, of startling, Kaleidoscopic enterprises and misdirected aims, He is simply a large plcture book for juveniles done in cardinal colors, A HE SAW A GHOST. Looked Like One to the Enginecer and He Stopped the Traln. Mapleton, on the sea beach road to Coney Island, N. Y., has @ ghost. The ghost was first noticed by a train load of excursion- ists returning at midnight on Thursday after a day's follity at Coney Island. The train had just reached the spot where Miss Baring committed sulcide on Monday morning when the spirit appeared. Superintendent Laske of the Sea Beach road, who was riding in the cab of the engine, first noticed it. He called Engineer Mallon’s attention to it, and the train was quickly brought to a standstill In the language of Superintendent Laske, “it was tall and shadowy like. It had the ap- pearance of = substance gradually melting into a filmy white fothing, and seemed to be covered with a long white filmy veil. Two seconds after T saw it,” sald Mr. Laske, “it began moving over toward the railroad track.

Pamlico was bred by €. D. Westcott of Fair Haven, Vt., and foiled in 1885. He was gol by Meander (2:26%), whose sire was Belmont, by Alex- ander's Abdallah, and whose dam was Mi nerva (dam of Nugget, 2:26%), by Pilot, jr The dam of Pamlico was Birthday, by Daniel Lambert, ond dam (the dam of Belle Franklin, 2:2814), by Blackstone, son of Rysdyk's Hambletonian.

In the pring of 1593 Mr. ‘Batchelder sold a_half interest in him for something like $8,000 cash to Mr. Spurr of Lexinglon, Ky., where tie horse made a season in the stud, after which he was campaigned. He was started that season in thirteea races; won fi-st money in cight, second in one, third in two, fourth in one, and failed to get any part of the money in one. e Dircctum was driven a Thursday afternoon at Chi fitting this great horse for the life at Mystic park, when he Arfon, Kremelin, Nclson and Moguette in the great $15,000 stake race next month.

Hal Braden, the pride of the Village Farm stables, had his colors lowered by the Mis- souri horse, John R. Gentry, in Chicago on Thursday afternoon in a lively fight in the 2:08 class pace. Online and Reflector were in this race, but tley finished third and fourth, respectively. Hal Draden went to the post a hot favorite and no one imagined for a moment that he would be beaten, but Gentry captured the first two heats in 2:0714 cach, in game finishes, while Online and Re- flector alternated positions for third plac In the final heat Gentry captured the purse in 2:08% and Online manzged to wrest third money from Reflector.

It was a race and the three paced in the average time of fastest consecutive- heats ever any track. These horses have been rivals all this year and both have been locked upon as horses able to break Mascot's record of 2:04 before the close of this season. The owners of these horses have striven to beat each other, and finally they agreed to 2 matched race between the animals for $2,500 a side. The horses were in fine fix for fast driving and when their drivers got the word both animals seemed to realize the importance of winning. Like two well ad- justed machines the speedy sidewheelers set off at a tremendous stride and went to the half, neck ¢nd neck, in 1:02. The crowd thought that the world's record would be smashed as the animals passed the three- querters post in a 2:03 gait, but the pace had been too rapid for Joe Patchen and as he slowed up it was seen that Robert J as good as had the race won. The first heat was recorded in 2:05, and Robert went under the wire under a strong pull. The other two heats were paced in 2:06% each, making the time for the three miles 6:18. As Robert J never was crowded in this race, horsemen are beginning to inquire how fast he really can go a mile. Those who witnessed him beat Joe Patchen predict that he will beat 2:04 before the close of the season, e -— NO TIME BUT TO EAT.

DON PLAYS Giving His Colleagues Stock Market Tips. and Dividing the Winnings. Senator Cameron, who is so serious and unapproachable at almost all times in public, is one of the gayest of men in the private circle of his own choosing, and his house, ac- ng to a correspondent, has been the scene of some of the liveliest poker playing i Washington. He s also one of the sena~ torial circles which meets at a private hotek there and plays a stif game two or three times a week. One or two of the men in this game are too poor to play poker. Butler of South Carolina, who is just now making a lively fight against Tillman in the hope of succeeding himself, is one of these poor poker players—poor in more senses tham one. Vest of Missour, who is one of the liveliest of the boys when on a senatorial spree and one of the most crabbed and dis- agreeable of men at all other times, is an- other of the poker crowd. Vest lived for many years in a little frame cottage on Capi- tol Hill, with the sergeant-at-arms of the senate, and he was so poor that he sald he could not afford to keep house here. But Vest could afford to play $50 limit and lose, Cameron has always had more money tham he could spend. Ot course, he could not Bive money to his friends, Vest and Butlers but, witn his knowledge of the stock market (second only to that of Semator Quay) he could give them points of value and put them into deals which he knew would be profitable. The result was to make good the money these men had lost at poker and to keep them in the game. And as Vest is. & good storyteller and Butler always a joviak companion, Mr. Cameron found his reward in their soclety. ——-—— The Horned Toad. “One of the strangest specles of animak life I ever came in contact with,” sald Prof. €. Sawyer of Philadelphia to the Globe- Democrat at the Southern last evening, “is the horned toad, which 18 quite common in Arizona and New Mexico, These animale are somewhat larger than the common toads which infest our lawns and gardens, and a found in large numbers on the sandy plains of the southwest. They are strange lookin little creatures, and their name is derlye from the fact that three projections like horns stick straight out from the top of their heads. The most curious feature about these toads is the habit they have of appar~ ently spurting blood from their eyes when disturbed. An old hunter who had lived in that locality all his life told me that it was not really blood that these creatures spurted forth, but a liquid resembling it, and that I& came from little orifices just above and be- hind the eyes.
