Grand billiard Tournament.

Lovers of the game of billiards will be
glad to learn that tournament will take
place at the Hawaiian Hotel billiard
room next Monday, Tuesday and Thurs
day evenings in which the three crack
PLAYERS, Morris, Saylor and McCleery,
will participate. The games will be at
straight billiards, 1000 points up, the
winner to receive 5000 and gate receipts.
Morris will discount his two opponents
twenty-five per cent, that is he will have
to make 900 points to their 700. On
Monday evening Saylor and McCleery
will play. Morris would have played the
opening night but as he is not very well,
he will not be seen until Tuesday even
ing, when he will play the winner OF
Mondays game. On Thursday evening
the two winners will play the deciding
game. These games will no doubt be a
great attraction as each man will do his
hest to win. Morris is a fine player, as
his previous record goes to show, aud our
billiard lovers have rare treat IN store
as there is no doubt some tall billiard
Dlaving will be witnessed. The games
viii be played on the large Brunswick
and Bake tables and an admission fee
of fiftv cents will be charged to each
game.

A RuElnW nE.

Yesterday afternoon, shortly before
O'Clock, Frank Alves, Portuguese, who
has a baggage express wagon, left it
in charge OF a small boy at the corner Of
Queen and Fort streets. The horse at
tached in some manner or other man
aged to get its bride over one ear which
scared it, and it started off along Queen
street at a lively pace In front Of Adams
& Co.'s auction rooms the boy was
thrown out of the wagon but was not
hurt beyond a slight scratch on his face.
A little further along the runaway col
lided with phaeton in which were Mrs.
McChesney and several children. They
had miraculous escape, as the force Of
the collision turned the phaeton com
pletely round and partly over. 1t how
ever righted itself and the occupants
were not hurt but considerably frightened,
as might be expected. The runaway
kept on until the Fish Market was
reached. Here Hack Inspector Macy
saw it coming and being afraid shat some
ladies in carriage would be run into,
he, with considerable presence Of mind,
made dash at the runaway animal and
was rewarded by bringing it to stand
still If he had not done this the conse-
quences might have been serious, as
there was quite a number of vehicles
standing near the Fish Market Macy
took the horse and wagon to the Station
House, and few moments later the
owner came up. Macy gave him good
lecture, not bit stronger than he de
served, and told him he would be
hauled up if ever lac was caught leaving
his horse and wagon in charge of a small
boy again. Alves said his horse was a
quiet one, but we are told that such is
not the case. 1t is not an animal to trust
in the care of small boy.

WHAT KILLS OUR STATESMEN.
1t Is Not Lack of Air, but Lack of Proper
PbvsicaI Exercise.

1t Is Not Lack of Air, but Lack of Proper
Physical Exercise.
They have started a bad air scare over
i'm the treasury building, and an effort is
made to show that Secretary Manning's
sickness was brought on by inhaling polsons
from the sewer pipes 1t is very probable
that bad air had something to do with 1t,
but that is not the primary cause.
The breaking down of our cabinet Off
GERS, congressman, and presidents is due
more to their failure to take proper exercise
than to any other cause. Secretary Man
ming rode in a carriage to his office in the
morning, sat for ten solid hours at his desk
in a close room, not even going out for
fresh air at luncheon time, rode home in his
carriage at dinner time, and spent the even
inc indoors Is it any wonder his blood be-
came sluggish and refused to perform its
functions?

ercise-i g., a drive, usually in close car

He steadily gains in flesh, and one of these

we shall hear a great deal about the clogged

White house 1t will be lack of exercise.
Every few days a senator or representa-
tive gives out and has long siege of sick

the poisonous air of the capitol. Inquire
into the habits of the sick man, and ten &c

found, was not an easy or even possible

yield, and the splintered sides Of the log be-

A Fine Portrait.
From the Kansas City Journal.

Mrs. Josephine Barton:
KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Dec. 3.-Per-
NIT me to express in this way high
appreciation of the rare excellence of
your recent oil portrait of the late
Senator John r. EIkins. 1t is both
a work to the credit of the artist and
a source of satisfaction to those who
know him. His kindly and intelli-
gent face seems to be almost fault
lessly reproduced in this life-size por-
trait.
ANY painting, however, perfect in
execution, is but a poor compensa.
tion for the loss of those we love, bu,
am sure you have succeeded in CIV
ing to his family and friends SO much
of this gentleman's real self. that
they will ever bold the painting as a
treasure of the highest value. and the
artist as their benefactor.
