The New York Electoral Reform Bill
Meets With DisapprOvai.
Gov. Hill vetoed the so-called Saxton
Electoral Reform Bill on the 18th, on
the grounds first. the requirement that
none but an officially printed ballot
shall. under ordinary circumstances, be
voted; second, the requirement that
each ticket shall contain the names of
all the candidates of all the parties and
parts of parties, and irresponsible COM
binations pretending to be a party, who
choose to certify that they have made a
nomination. The governor says these
provisions are cumbersome, would be
ineffective and are unconstitutional

A Sensational Ending.

At Nashville, Tenn, on the 10th,
James F. Turner shot and MORALLY
wounded T. A. Holton in the Office OF
Justice of the Peace Brown. Both are
prominent business men who became
involved in a law suit. Words arose
between the two in the morning
because the case was adjourned on ac-
count of the absence of Turner's law
yer. Turner used abusive language and
when Holton said, "You must take that
back" the former whipped from his
bosom a revolver and shot Holton, who
sank limp and apparently lifeless to the
floor. Turner was at once arrested.
Holton is still alive, but cannot recover.

Rendered in 1890.

LONDON, May 17.-Father O'Donovan
testified before the Parnell commission
to-day. He said that the moonlighters
at Tulla were opposed to the
League. They had threatened wit
ness, who was under police protec-
ton, while he was connected with

AN ORKNEY LEGEND.
The Strange. Weird Tale Told by an Honest
Native of ROusay. sss B


Native Of R0psay. sss
But for the adventurous there is hope
still. Somewhere near Enhallow there
lies another island, unseen Of men fol
more years than can be reckone.l. This
IS the story of its last appearance, as
told by a native of Rousay lone who
has seen the fairies and heard the Wild,
strange music of the sea folk:
One day. very many years ago, q
young girl went up to the hill opposite
Enhallow to cut peats. Hcr days
work done. She was resting on the
heather. when a strnn gc man came up
to her After a little talk he asked hes.
to e. go with him, and, though she refused
at first, he gained such power over her
that he made her come. When night
came and she did not return, her peo-
pie became alarmed and set ont to seek
for her. High and low the whole island
was searched, but no trace was found
OF the missing maiden. The wonder
passed away and matters fell, back. In
to their old course. Some time after
this the father and brothers Of the lost
girl out to fish. They were some
what to the west of Enhallow, when a
thick fog fell on the sea-so thick they
could not tell where they were At
last their boat touched land, and on
going ashore they found themselves, as
they thought. upon EnhalloW. Going
little further, however, they found
they were on another island, for they
saw a big house before them On COM
ing up to this house they found, to their
surprise, none other than their lost
daughter and sister in the person of the
''good WIFE" She took them in and
gave them food, and told them she was
married to a seaman and living with
him here. As they were sitting, the
door opened and "a great brown wisp''
came rolling in and went .ben." "a
''wisp is "a huge ball of twisted heather
rope, which is used in Orkney for
matching purposes.) In a few min
ntes a handsome young man came
..but. He was introduced us the hus-
band of the young woman, and well
coined her friends very kindly. Two
more Wisps came in while they waited,
anu from each Of them came forth Il
seaman, who HAD been out fishing.
When the men had to leave the house.
the father asked his daughter to return
to Rousay with him, but she refused,
saying she was too happy with her hus-
band to leave him. She gave he:
father, however, a knife, and told him
while he kept it his fishing would never
fail, and he would be able to visit her
whenever he wished. After a tender
farewell, the Rousay men pushed off;
but the old man let the knife slip and
fall into the sen. In moment the
boat touched land in Ronsay. but the
island and its mistress have never since
been seen. Chambers Journal.

The Australian Boomerang Puzzle /
Scientific Men. e


Scientific Men.
Scientists have in vain studied the
boomerang to discover the secret of its
curious flight. It is against all laws Of
gravitation that an object hurled into
space should return to the same spot
from which it was cast, as it is impos-
sible to explain the eccentric action OF
a curved ball. The boomerang is all
the more marvellous when we consider
that the s,tvages of Australia were first
to use it and to apply the peculiar
properties of its form.
A German scientist found that there
We're larger and smaller boomer:lngs.
The larger ones ARE slender creSecnts,
plain on the lower side, rounded on
top, pointed at each end and sharpened
toward the edges. The lower end is
cross-grooyed to aid in holdingi it. The
careful manner in which the s:.vages
manipulated the weapon, trying its
shape, testing Inequalities and scraping
itdown. is significant of the Importance
they attach to its having exactly the
right curvature. The wood Of which the
instrumentism made is an extraordinarily
heavy Australian iron-wood, and the
only tools used in making it are sh arp
stones and piecesof glass. The smaller
boomerangs are bent at an angle Of
forty-tiye degrees, but are in other re-
spects conformed to the larger ones.
An exhibition of boomerang q throw

STOCKTON, November 10th. - To-day s
game between the Stocktons and San
Franoiscos was an exciting contest from
the start to the finish. Van Haltren and
Clarke were the opposing pitchers, and both
pitched good games outside of the third in
ming, when Clarke was found for six hits
and total of nine bases, which Melted the
Stocktons four runs. After the third in.
ming, however, Clarke got down to business
and was found for only two more hits and
he gave but one man first on balls, as
against five by Van Haltren.
The ex-Chicago man played great ball
and the San Franchises were unable to do
anything with his delivery, getting but
four hits and no two in the same inning.
With the exception of Hsnley the San
Franciscos put up great fielding game, P.
Sweeney on first raking in everything.
Shea accepted some difficult chances at
short. But to Stockwell belongs the honor
of the most brilliant play of the game.
Powers sent hot line hit to short right,
and Siockwell made great run, hitting
the ball with the tips of his fingers, but re-
covered it before it could touch the ground.
Donshue was badly scared and ratified by
the crowd in the grand stand, who bissed
at him for five minutes upon his calling
Wilson out for not touching first. Follow

San Francisco Bats Out Another Victory
at Stockton-Dresry ANA
teur Ball.

Amateur ball in League city never was
a success, and never will be. No amount
of extra inducements will inveigle the
people to the grounds, not even balloon
ascension.
This proved the case at Snowflake Park
yesterday.
One week ago the park was crowded
but it was League game. On that occa-
sion too, Professor Price was ad-
yertised to make an ascension in a hot
air balloon and subsequently drop from
the clouds in parachute. The wind was
high, though, and the Professor postponed
his aerial flight until yesterday. A great
many people, including the Professor
thought that the balloon had all to do with
the big crowd of week ago. and the bal
loonist was accordingly confident that an
other great crowd would worry through an
amateur game, just for the privilege Of
seeing the balloon ascension. He even
laughed at the idea of Gilmore and his big
band affecting the attendance.
But yesterday was an off-day. The base
ball exhibition was of the school-boy order,
the attendance amounted to about fifty
and the grand balloon ascension" was a
miserable failure.
The Brightons and An-Americas, the OPP
posing mines, proved to be mixture of all
the amateur clubs of Sacramento and vicin-
ity, with couple of shelved professionals
thrown in. Batting was the rule of the
day, and so was wrangling among the
players. Most of the spectators took pos
session of the diamond and started up little
games of their own, in order to keep warm.
The Brightons and All-Americas insisted
upon playing eleven innings, as they were
having lots of fun.
Shortly before OF clock the aeronaut half
filled his balloon with smoke, and, cutting
the anchor rope sailed upward-but not
very far upward. He just cleared the right
field fence, and in less than a minute was
safe on terra irma again. not even having
time to get in his work with the parachute.
Following is the score of the ball game:
