Girls Who Play Base BAN,

Instead of rolling hoops or catching
jacks, the young misses of the Five Points,
when not assisting their friends to dis
pose of secondhand clothing, play base
ball. There are several girl mines" in the
neighborhood who play in the street
their matches are conducted in accordance
with professional regulations, even down
to the wearing Of catehers' masks and UNI
pires--who live the lives of prize fighters
during the games. Just now the Cohen
and Isaac mines 41e engaged in u mighty
struggle for the pennant. The Cohens are
captained by Miss Rebeeca Cohen. and the
other eight players are hands on pants in
her fathers shop. Miss Rachel Isaacs, u
pretty brunette Of rs Baxter street sum
mers, managers her team with great skill.
The members are all nnder Ii and wear
black stockings and Mother Hubbards.
The short stop of the team, Miss Isabella
Dinkelspiel, l2-year-old, has big rec
ord for picking the ball mp in her apron.
Home runs are scarce, as the grounds are
only twenty five feet wide, and the Levys,
on the north, have hung n net across the
street to prevent the ball from being
knocked past their door. Among the in
terested spectators of the game are Tom
Chin and Wah Lee, besides the elite OF
poverty generally in Mott and Park streets.
Alderman Pat Diver attended last Satnr-

An Unusual Wedding Ceremony.

An unusual wedding ceremony has lust
been performed at Philadelphia. About it
was an echo of the great civil war. The
contracting parties were DR.. Frederick
Ward Saunders, of York, Pa. and his bride
OF twenty-four years ago, the mother of
ms child.cn. This couple have lived to-
gether twenty-four years in the relation of
man and wife and reared family, bnt the
evidence Of their having been legally mar
RED was destroyed. and SO after all these
wears they were again married. On June
~, 1864, DIR. Saunders was married in
York, Pa. to Miss Ellen Belle 10y. Just
after the ceremony the rebels raided the
town and pillaged DIR. Saunders house
among others. Among the things carried
on was the doctors marriage license. y
Among the things destroyed in York by
the rebels were the records Of the church
in which the doctor was married to Miss
10y. So every evidence Of their being
legally married was gone. DR.. and Mrs.
Saunders suddenly came to the conclusion
that for the sake Of their children and es.
tate and in view Of questions arising re-
gartiing their property they had better have
perfect record of their marriage. They
came to the city and got license to marry
and we're again joined in holy bonds Of
I. Wedlock.

Chances Of French Girls Marriage Five
in q Hundred.

In Hundred.
The students and their grisettes dance
the cancan to this day, am told, bus they
dance it away from the avenues where the
tourists do not intrude. Talking about
the grisettes reminds me that they are :.
most peculiar class. The French novelists
have told you great deal about them, of
course, and there is little can say that
would be new, but from oil that can
learn they, are certainly peculiar. The
grisette takes to the student and the
student appears to take naturally to the
grisette. She is q shop girl, perhaps, or
employed in mandatory, or else she
does sewing orlace making Or button COW
ering or something at her room. She can
live and that is about all. The student
comeslalong. He wants room. That lie
must have. He also wants to eat.
The grisette has the room, and. like all
French girls she can cook if she has the
chance. They strike bargain. He will
pay the room rent and furnish the food.
She will mend his clothes, cook for him
and keep the room in order. They agree
to live together. Instances ore rare where
one proves false to the other. They are
man AID wife to each other until his col.
lege days are over. Sometimes she con-
tinues with him to the end, and though
hesmay marry hesares for her. Oflensshe
is left enough to keep her when the separa-
ton takes place. i, frequently she is left 10
shift for herself. and il she doesn't sue
coed in finding somebody to take the place
/ Of her student-well, a few sous worth Of
charcoal or q plunge into the Seine winds
up the story sf her life. Tie average
number of bodies exhibited in the morgue
annually is 700. About Is, per cent. Of
these are the remains Of young women.
Do not sneer at these unfortunate little
grisettes. They would marry and become
good wive and mothers, for the most part,
If they could. The young men of thei!
class find marriage out Of the question.
The French girls chances of getting 9
husband are about five in hundred. The
men, not the girls, are to blame. The con.
dition of French morals is the prime cause
Young men are able to find girls who are
willing to disregard the marriage ceremony
and may find home for themselves withou,
going to the trouble of visiting the matre
They are able to find girls because the
social conditions are such that an offer Of
assistance in this way may be the onl,
offer she will ever get. She must live
Her condition is bettered by the change
She would have things otherwise if She
could. Society in Paris does not expect
anything better of her. The people Of
city where $4,000 illegitimate births ar.
reported every year cannot afford to be too
exacting.

The great Lick telescope is now
placed in position on Mount Hamilton,
near San Jose, Cal. With this giant
eye-which is no less than thirty-six
inches in diameter, and six inches
larger than its largest predecessor
great discoveries in the heavens are
confidently expected. It will pierce
the remotest part Of the universe, and
the starlight whose rays are lost to the
eye in flight through billions of miles
across the measureless chasm separating
us from the stars, will fall upon its
broad surface to be collected at the TO-
Gus to tell its story there. It is posi-
BILE that among its early discoveries may
be that of another member of the suns
family, whose supposed orbit lies twice
as far away as Neptune, at distance of
five billions of miles from the sun. If
such planet exists, it's period of reyo-
luton around the sun may he, as Miss
Clerke suggests: three thousand of our
years. Perhaps some Of the nebulm,
=
which now appear to be nothing but
enormously extended clouds Of thin va
por, will be resolved into clusters of
stars, and into other systems such US
ours. It may confidently he expected
that the knowledge of our neighbors,
such as the moon, Mars, Venice, Jupi-
ter, and others will be greatly increased.
With the best telescope power now at
hand, and under the most favorable
conditions, the moon, whose distance is
about 24O, 600 miles from the earth, may
be seen as she would appear to the
naked eye if she were only hundred
miles or so distant. The new monster
will perhaps decrease this distance to
seventy-five.

hydfo-carbon in combination with Ger.
tam oxldizing agents, which is rendered
nameless by the addition of a certain
proportion of an organic salt. 1t emits

harmless, not possessing sufficient

in vessels containing the most highly
