Judge Fisher yesterday to answer various

ferred against her. For indulging in an
%extravagant and reckless use of stimu-

using a picturesque collection of adjec-
tives and a glittering array of personal
p%ronouns not usually recognized in polite
society, she was fined sl3, with an orna-
mental fringe Of costs. Blanche pro-
duced a roll of bills from some mysterious
recesses OF her raiment, paid the fairly
large total of the bills and departed IN an

To the Editor OF The LEADER
Fort d. A. RUSSELL. Wyo.. Noyem-
Der l7.-Wm you kindly make the follow
ing correction in your report of the death
of Corporal VIM. A. Massey, Company
4. 9th infantry, as published in your is
sue of the 18th inst:
It is there stated that the deceased met
his death from a prolonged debauch'' at
a notorious resort" two miles north of
post.
We, representing the members of Com
pany E. 9th infantry, wish to state that
the deceased did not meet his death in the
manner stated, that he had not been on a
prolonged debauch," nor did he eper
visit the notorious resort referred to.
At the post mortem examination held
at this post, it was fully demonstrated
that the deceased met his death from
heart disease, probably accelerated by ex-
element and exposure, and while it is ad-
mitted that the deceased drank OCCASION
ally, it is not by any means admitted that
this was the immediate cause of his
death. Corporal Massey was 4 man of
fine education and eentlemanly qualitiei,
and his loss is most sincerely felt by the
members Of his company and his com
rades throughout the service.
Very respectfully,
FIRST SERGEANT G. BENDoRoFF,
SERGEANT JoHN A. LOUDER,

DED.-Sunday morning, November l6,
1884, Abel w. Hewelling, aged "a years
The deceased came to Cheyenne from
Calais, Maine, in April, 1883, with the
hope of finding relief and prolonging his
life. At the time of his removal to this
city he was a consumptive; but, despite
his illness, he attended to his business as
an expressman with diligence and success,
his hope being to secure a homo for his
family. One week ago last Friday he had
a hemorrhage, from the effects of which
he never rallied, and Sunday morning
breathed his last.
He leaves a wife and three small chill
dren, and IN their behalf it is desired to
express gratitude to those who so kindly
betrayed the burial expenses.
The funeral services will be held at the
Methodist Episcopal Church at 10 o'clock
this morning.

For nearly two weeks the old man had

WIN a Girl Cannot Play Tennis.

The first difficulty is found in graspisg the
racket. This is due to the fact that in the ie-
male hand a layer Of adipose tissue makes the
palm too rounded to firmly hold the handle
Consequently, IL ball strikes the side OF tho
racket. the racket turns and the ball bounds
Mt a right angle to the line by which il came
This effect is heightened by quick outward
swing Of the hand, caused by the small devel-
opment of the 0s ltRdr6. The female arm dIi-
fers from the male arm, also, in that the Wild
of the female is much shorter proportionately
than that Of the male. On tins account The
female cannot hold the racket on line will
the arm, but, necessarily, at large angle with
the arm. Accordingly when the ball IS returned
the action of the arm tends to knock 1t side
wise. This peculiarly is especially notice.
able in returning swift balls.
In the female the articulation Of the hunerus
with the ulna and radius is imperfect, thus
causing a constant angle at the elbow. When
therefore, the racket hits a, ball It tends e
knock it high up in the air. Some have sand
that this defect is the chief in causing the ie-
male TO be q poor tennis player. lie small
ness Of her ribs, thinness Of the scapula, and
sbortpess Of the cavicle unite to prevent heI
from reaching high balls. These defects, to-
retLer with the unusually large size OF IhC
friceps e-ieaSOr muscle, make It hard for the
female to serve successfully.
Were it not for these anatomical peculiauties
Of the female she would doubtless far surpass
the male at tennis. She can run faster, see
more quickly and is not easily confused. But
the scientific fact remains that tennis IS not Q
game for the human female. Tho game Of
parlor croquet is best adapted TO the peculiar
