were taken to the bat cave and allowed
bond. The cases of the three fined were
appealed.
Lucy Moore met Sue Cumbrey Satur-
day night, and because Sue insulted
Lucy, the latter hit Sue, and the rocks
in the street began to fly, until the pair
was taken in by the officer.
CiprianO Seros became drunk at low
Mexican saloon, kept by one Espinosa
on West Houston street. Another Mexi-

angry, and he whipped out pocket

made against him for murderous assault
before justice Of the peace.
Charlie Bonn and some more boys,
who live about the Sunset depot, do not
like Mr.. RoOs' son and all the time try
to beat him. They were before the

at il again yesterday. Charlie was ar
rested, but his mother promised to ssnd
him away, and he was dismissed.

The Girls Were Mixed.

At the end of last week the girls at
the Texas Laundry on Houston street
worked very late, and when they bad
done the manager kindly ordered the
boy to hitch up the wagon and convey
the girls to their homes beyond the
Sunset railroad track. The girls being
tired were thankful, and all went well
until the wagon was crossing the track
when bv some means the wheel came off,
was heterogeneous combination of faces
arms, dresses, ndeT-ClOthing, and
hosiery on the ground, and the boy and
girls were so mixed up that you couldn't
tell t'Other from which. Fortunately no
one was injured and none laughed more
heartily at the curious mis-hap than the
girls who were SO strangely mixed up.

A Spiders Telephone.


While gentleman was watching
some spiders it occurred to him to try
what effect tuning fork would have
on the insects. He suspected that
they would regard the sound Just as
they were in the habit of regarding
the sound made by a fly. And sure
enough they did. He selected large
ugly spider that had been feasting on
flies for two months. The spider was
on the edge of its web. Sounding the
fork he touched thread at the other
side of the web, and watched the re-
suit. Mr.. Spider had the sound con-
veyed to him over his telephone
wires, but how was he to know on
which particular wire the sound was
travelling? He ran to the centre of
web very quickly, and felt all round
untilhe touched the thread against the
other end of which the fork wassound-
ing; then taking another thread
along, just as man would take an
extra piece ofrope, he ran out to the
fork and sprang upon it. Then he
retreated little way and looked at
the fork. He was puzzled. He had
expected to find a buzzing fly. He
danced with delight. He had caught
the sound of the fly and it was music
to him. 1t is said that spiders are so
fond of music that they will stop their
spinning to listen, and man once
said that when he retired to his room
for quiet before dinner and'played the
flute, large spiders would come onto
the table and remain quite still, "run-
ming away as fast as their legs could
carry them" directly when he had
finished"

Cut Worms Beat the Tobacco Planter
to the Last Hill.

To illustrate the plentitude of the
cut worm, the Halifax (Va.) Adver-
tiser tells the following:
Another fellow told us that when
one of his hands put a tobacco plant
in the ground, he would say "stuck, I"
and theworm behind would say"cut."
This hand being slow coach, could
not set out the plants as fast as the
worms could cut them down, and
when about finishing the days work
he found a lot of worms on the last
hill reaching up after the plant he
had in his hand. 'Igolly," said the
dusky planter as he Strengthened his
back, resting his hands upon his hips,
and looking at the mob of worms, 81
golly, / reckon arter a while you'll
take de basket and 60 to de patch"

Base Ball on a Moving Train.

eyes, braking is pretty hard work,
and we don't get much fun as we go
long" said a freight brakeman, as
his caboose stood by the station wait
ing for orders; "but there's new
craze on amoung theb boys which gives
us considerable sport. 1t is freight
train base ball"
Baseball on freight train?"
eyes, sir; and it's great fun, too.
We don't do any batting, but we're
great on fielding. The head brake
man stands on the front car, the rear
brakeman in the middle of the train
and the conductor gets on the Ca
BOISE. Then we play pitch, with the
fireman for referee. There ain'tmany
errors, now let me tell you. An en-
ror means lost ball, and the man
that lets it get away from him has to
buy new one. The fellow that
makes It wild throw, or the one that
fails to stop a fair ball is the victim.
The craze has run 50 high that I'll bet
there ANITA dozen crews running out
Of Chicago that don't carry a stock of
base balls along in their caboose.
They would say they didn't if you
asked 'em, cause they don't want the
bosses to get onto 'em, but just wait
till they get out into the country, and
if you're where you can see you will
see how freight train ball is played.
Fellows that play ball on the ground
may think they are having great
sport, but if you want fun, and want
to have the blood run pretty lively in
your veins, just take hand in a game
ontop of a freight train going twenty
or twenty-five miles an hour"

A Courtship by Means of a Bible
Text.

A young gentleman happening to
sit at church in pew adjoining one
in which sat a young lady, for whom
he conceived a sudden and violent
passion, was DESTROYS Of entering into
a courtship on the spot; but the place
not suiting formal declaration, the
eXigency of the case suggested the
following plan:
He politely handed his fair neigh
Dor a Bible, (open) with pin stuck
in the following text: Second Epis-
tie of John, verse fifth-"And now l
beseech thee, lady, not as though I
wrote a new commandment unto
thee, but that which we had from the
beginning, that we love oneanother."
She returned it, pointing to the sec
ond chapter of Ruth, verse tenth:
"Then she fell on her face, and
bowed herself to the ground, and
said unto him: why have l found
grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldst
take knowledge of me, seeing that 1
am stranger p"
He returned the book, pointing to
the thirteenth verse of the Third
Epistle of John:
Having many things to write unto
you, | would not write with paper
and ink, but trust to come unto you,
and speak face to face, that our joy
may be full"
From the above interview marri-
age took place the ensuing week.
