The news was received with the utmost sat

San Antonio Ball Team Beaten by
Galveston. but Played a Fine
Game.
San Antonio was unlucky yesterday,
although Baldwin, who Is held In high
esteem as q pitcher by the directors,
was in the box. Galveston had Wehrle
in the box, and our boys could not bat
him and it was with the willow that
thew lost the game. Wehrle put In
very deceptive ball, with ups and
downs and side curves, astonishing to
behold, San Antonio made but 3 errors
however, and Galveston but 2. This
shows what q good game 1t was. The

Of ln>;.-ance Agents.
There is = V. ..lthy nan in Buffalo who,
ever since he . '.-.C1o wcil-tO-dO, has been
pcstercd b. tn .-ltrcaticS Of local insurance
agents to ta,.. out a policy in favor OF his
wife and little ones. Not long ago, says the
Buffalo Courier, he determined to be re-
venged on them. He called ON a certain
agent and told him that ut last he was
thinking seriously of taking out 4 policy,
say for 10000, but that before deciding the
matter he wished to examine thc induce
mcnts of two or three other companies.
..Certainly.'' said the agent. ''but do como
and dine with me at the City Club to-mor-
row. with pleasure" The rich man
walked away, and visiting three or four
more agents told them the same story
that he was thinking of taking out q pol
icy Of S10.OJO Or SO, but was not quite de-
cidcd yet in which company he should in
sure. Each and all Of them extended him
an earnest invitation TO Come and dine
with me tomorrow evening"" or what do
you say to Z little supper at Blanks, where
VIC can talk it ovcr:; or, I'm going to open
o bottle of Madeira tomorrow evening.
Come around and Ill explain u plan in
full" The wealthy man winked to hum
self as he left these agents, end accepted
all their civilities, and for two weeks his
family hardly saw him, for he continued to
hesitate and procrastinatc, and the agents
continued to dino him and wine him,
until at length, having enjoyed hum
self immensely at the expense OF
the insurance companies, he ono day
sat down in his Office and wrote each Of
the agents a little note, in which he stated
that he had '.been convinced of the better
advantages to be gained by insurng in
another company" and regretted that be
''could not take out . policy with you"
The agents each read this note with tears
in their eyes and swear-words IN their
lips, and placed q sum ranging from IS to
$50 to the debit of expense account.

wedding Presents.
When o sister Of tho Governor Of q neigh
boring State was married, q few years ago,
says the Topical Talker'' Of the Pittsburgh
Dispatch, she received u great many v:xua-
Bile presents, and among them were many
pieces of plate and silverwarc Of all sorts.
But particularly was she overwhelmed with
silver fruit spoons. Beautifully chased,
ROld-lincd, in every sort Of variety, were
these spoons.
After the wedding, and when they had re-
turned from the honeymoon, the bride
found that she had no Immediate use for
half the silverwarc she possessed, especial
" as for the time they were to live in her
mothers house. So she consigned some OF
It to the care of . bank in town. The fruit
spoons all went to the vault.
A few months later she received an in
vitation to attend the wedding of a school
mate in a neighboring town She knew she
would have to 60 to New York to buy .
suitable present and she didn't care about
taking the journey just then.
All at Cncc the idea came into her head
that she had a great superflulty Of fruit
spoons. Why should she not send some OF
them to her schOolmate for a present?
There seemed to be NO objection, so she
SEN the butler down to the bank with orders
to pick out a pretty case of spoons. The
butler fulfilled his mission. None Of the
presents were tlcketed, SO that it was al
together impossible to tell from whom this
particular set of spoons had come.
The spoons Travelled once more to the
hymeneal altar, II the lady who sent them
heard nothing about them for several days.
Then she received the following letter:

Ar,enic cs a Cosmetic.

The dclctcrious effect of arsenic upon the
skin was recently discussed in the Patio
logical Society Of London, after a communi-
cation had been read by Mr.. Jonathan
Hutchinson. The skin is tho tissue on
which arsenic has, perhaps, its most marked
influence. The poison may spoil the com.
plexion instead Of improving it by making it
muddy and unsightly. A similar action is
exhibited in all parts Of the skin, and may
lead to the development Of soft corns, not
warts, on tho palms Of the hands and soles
of the feet, where . roughencd condition
also grows up under its influence. Mr..
Hutchinson also expressed the belief that
arsenic can produce cpitLelial cancer.
