DALLAS, TEX, Sept. The most
exciting game of base ball ever
played in Texas was played here to-
day between the Dallas and Fort
Worth clubs. There was crowd out
of between 1900 and 1000 The game
started off with Dallas at the bat, and
run was scored. Fort Worth fol-
lowed with run. Until the fourth
inning hardly any change occurred,
tut on the fifth and sixth the Browns
ran their score to five and Fort Worth
TO two. The next inning was goose
egg for both. Then the Fort Worth
ran up, tied and passed the
Dallas boys, making the
score seven to five. On
the seventh inning Dallas made an
other squirt and passed Fort Worth
and the score stood to z. On the
eighth inning Fort Worth scored AN.
other run and the game was tie. On
the ninth inning neither made a run
and as il was almost dark the game
was called The Fort Worth crowd
was loud in their complaint against
the umpire, Mr.. Kelsey. A player
named Mr.. Sullivan, from Fort Worth,
was at the bat when ball was thrown
him and as he says struck him on the
arm. The umpire called 1t
strike and Mr.. Sullivan
became so indignant as TO throw
his bat at him. This Is denied by
some, who say he threw the bat over
Mr., Kelsey's head. A great excite
ment Immediately occurred. Sam
Klein, the manager Of the Dallas
club, drew his pistol, but was imme-
dlately deprived of it. 1t was some
time before the game was called. A
great amount of money was bet on
/ the ground. Some Of IL was with
drawn, but the most Of 1t remains up
ON to-morrow's game. There never
has been as much excitement over
any sport as there was over this game.
IL is expected that the town will
empty itself into the grounds to-
morrow. Both sides are still confident,
and the determination to win Is
strong in both clubs.

The Queen Of Slams Thimble.

The thimble is Dutch invention
that was first brought to England in
1895 by one John Lofting, who began
its manufacture ut Islington, near
London, gaining thereby both honor
and profit Its name is derived from
the words thumb and bell, being for a
long time called tumble. and only
lately thimble. Old records say that
thimbles were first worn on the thumb;
but we can scarcely conceive how they
would be of much use there. Former
~ they were made of brass and iron
only, but of late years steel, silver,
gold, horn, ivory, and even pearl amt
glass have all been used for making
thimbles.
a thimble owned by n Queen-con-
sort OF Siam is shaped like lolus-b bud,
that being the royal flower of the coun-
try. and almost everything about. the
court bearing, in a greater or less de-
gree, some impress of the lotus. This
thimble is of gold, thickly studded
with diamonds that are so arranged as
TO form the lady's name and the date
of her marriage. II was n bridal gift
from the King, who, having seen the
English aud American ladies at his
court using thimblcs, took this meth
cd of introducing them among his own
people. -D0rcaS' MagazRe.

had spread, every piano and harmonium
m the section struck up an air of
Nerdss, no two playing the same one;
and even the piauo-organs themselves
joined in the discoruant chorus. To
get TO the door he had to run the
gauntlet of his own melodies; but tho
comic element in the situation proving
too much for his gravity, he threw him

He was interrupted in the midst Of 10

military authorities contemplate
shortly making some experiments
with M. Renard's new system Of
