4 SllOe Dcnlcr's Observation.

l was in Il State street shoe store yesterday
when two ladies seated themselves and asked
to be shown shoes, of course. y young man
waited upon one Of tho ladies. 4 moment
later ho camo to tho proprietor, with whom T
was talking, and said: "She has white hose.n
Tho proprietor mado q reply that did not
quito understand, and tho clerk departed. I
returned to ask why it was that the clerk had
mado such an observation. SIT is one of tho
tricks of our trade" answered the head of
the concern. A woman who will wear white
hosiery don't wear fine shoes. You can gam
bio on that every time and win. So we
know about what class of goods to show
her and thus save time. I don't know
whether you know it or not, rs such matters
do not interest outsiders, but we can tell by
the sort of hosiery woman wears what
price shoes sho wants. Now, take woman
who wears black silk hosiery or black bal
briggan, she wants tho very best shoe, as a
rule, that there is in the house. l have made
study Of this for years, and l am away up
on the subject, can tell you. Another thing
l have uoticed-a woman who wears black
hosiery generally has small feet. That re-
minds mo that the average foot of tho Chi

is not small, but long and slender."-Chi-

PHILADELPHIA.

Gore started the ball by hitting a srounder to
Casey. The latter stopped it. but threw it so
wildly to first that Gore made third.
Herman, the ~slugger. batted a line fly far
over right field fence for a home run.
Ward went ont on an easy fly to Fogarty.
Richardson cracked a single to left, stole Sec
ond. went to third on Casey's wild throw, but
was caught attempting to score on the same
error. Connor struck out. Two runs.
ODay at once began to shoot the ball over the
plato and Delehanty had two strikes called on
him before he realized that he was In the game.
Then the Quaker awoke and banged the next
ball pitched to left field for one base. He reached
second on Mulvey's sacrifice out, O'Day to Con-
nor.
Myers was permitted to take first on balls, and
alike mark of esteem shown to Thompson filed
the bases and brought Schriver to the bat. He
did all that could be expected of him, and more,
for he slammed a terrific liner between left and
centre which cleared the bases of runners,
earned him two bases and created a wild and
approving burst of noise on the part Of the
crowd.
Fogarty added to the excitement by dropping
a gentle double into left, which brought Schriver
home.
Farrar was sent to first on balls. Mailman
knocked Il hot line-drive to left. O,Rourke
planted himself in front of the ball, caught 1T
and threw it to Ward at second before Fogarty
could regain his base. Four runs.
Second Inning-O'Rourke and Ewing both hit
the ball hard, but the prejudiced sphere went to
De.ehanty and Thompson. Whitney struck out.
No runs.
Whitney, after picking up Casey's little
Rrounder, threw the ball 30 far over Connor's
head that Casey reached second.
Delehanty flied to Tiernan, and Casey moved
up to third. Mulvey took first on balls and
second when Myers was paid the same compli-
ment.
Gore caught Thompson's long fly. and his
throw to the plate held all runners TO their
bases. Schriver struck out. No runs.
Third Inning-ODay followed the example
sent by his adversaries. and stood as rigidly as
a ciCar-store Indian when the four balls were
called and gave him first.
Gore dribbled a gronnder TO Myers, which
caused ODay's out at second. Then a wild
pitch permitted Gore to gain second.
Herman banged a grounder to FRrrar, and by
great sprintinR beat the latter in the race for
first base.
Gore went to third on Mikes hit and a mo-

Herman ran to third on Wards hit.

Cars Run with Sails.

A Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Telegraph was recently
looking at some models in the National
Museum of curious cars used in the
early days of railroading in this coun-
try, when Mr.. Watkins, the curator,
pointed out one particular one that
had mast and sail. Experiments with
such cars were made On the Baltimore
& Ohio road and on the South Carolina
road. 1t was then a serious question
whether the motive power on railroads
would be sail, horse or steam. The
steam locomotive was still looked up
on as an experiment. Sail cars
are used to-day on a guano
railroad on the island OF Maiden,
in the south Pacific. They are, in fact,
used nearer home than that, for rail-
road men at Barnegat beach, when the
wind is favorable, frequently ride over
the e,ad on construction cars-sloop-
rigeGl. "The wind has good deal to
do :, tn railroading even to-day" Mr..
Watkins said. If you go to the bureau
OF intelligence at the Broad street
station, Philadelphia, and-ask whether
some train, say from New York, is
likely to be ON time, you may be in
formed that it is likely to be
four or five minutes late, because
there is strong wind from the west.
Winds make considerable difference in
the running time of trains.

II extraordinary Railroad.

One Of the most interesting achieve
ments in modern engineering is the
electric mountain railway recently
opened to the public at the Burgenstock,
near Lucerne. The rails describe one
grand curve formed upon an angle OF
112 degrees, and the system is snch
that the journey is male as steadily and
smoothly as upon any of the straight
funicular lines. The Burgenstock is
almost perpendicular the shore
of Lake Lucerne to the Burgenstock is
1880 feet, and it Is 1880 feet above
the level OF the sea, The total length
of the line Is 93S metres, and it COM
mences with gradient OF 80 per cent.
which is increased to SO per cent after
the first 400 metres, this being main
tanned for the rest of tbs journey. A
single pair of rails is used throughout,
and the motive power, electricity, is
generated by two dynamos' each OF
twenty-five horse power, which are
worked by water wheel of nominally
125 power, erected upon the river Aar
at its mouth at Buochs, three miles
away, the electric current being con-
Quoted by means of insulated copper
wires. The loss in Transmission is
