Mrs. Cleveland has not only made 1t
her pleasure to acquaint her successor
with these details of the political situa-

come and spend a week with her and see
what condition the bedroom carpets and
the kitchen tins are in for her

senator.Elect woloott II Bibliomaniao.


Edward O. Wolcott, vino is the new Senator
from Colorado, is bbiomaniac. lie does
not run to fine bindings, nor has he a passion
for first editions His madness is for books Of
every kind and of every age, SO long as they
be books that can be read. In his reading he
is omnivorous-every that comes to his
net is fish. ile reads with remarkable rapidity,
and he seldom puts down q book until he has
acquired its contents. lie is one of those
happy few who, by siimming through book,
can get just what they want out of it--and by
this we mean all that is OF profit TO them.
Mr.. Wolcott has been large book buyer for
fifteen years. He is now perhaps 40 years Of
age. Publishers in England and Paris keep
! him constantly supplied with new publicn-
tions, and large numbers of books are shipped
TO him ton refusal) each month by the Nc
Clurg house in this city. 1t is hard to find an
old and curious book that lie has not read
| Not long ago three copies of Father Sinis-
| trari's "Demoniality' came TO Chicago from
| Paris. Two copies were snapped up locally
and the third was forwarded to Mr.. Wolcott
as Il rarity. Presently, however, the book
came back, with the message that Mr.. Vol
colt already had the book, having secured 1t
from Paris In 1879, tie year of the publication
| of this reprint.
With all his appetite for reading Mr. VOL
colt makes no show Of his books. He puts
| them away when he has read them, and it is
probable that he has at least $4,000 volumes
| boxed up and stored. lie has genial way
OF saying to friend: "Do you like that
bookY Well, then, put it in your pocket; If
| there's any other volume that you think will
be of use TO you take 1t along" And it is all
the same to Wolcott whether the volume he a

ALL THE TICKETS TAKEN.

the Public.
All the Booth Barrett tickets for Tues
day and Friday nights performances
when the Washington auditors will be
transported over to Baltimore free of
charge, were to great extent bought up
by the ticket speculotor, thereby de-
priving the theatrc-going public from
reaping the benefit of the courtesy cx-
tended by Mcssrs. Booth, Barrett and Al
baugh. Messrs Herbert and Miller, who
sold the tickets say they cndeavored to
prevent the spectators from securing
any large number of tickets for the above
nights, but it seems that despite their ef-
forts the spectators were successful.
Any one willing to pay six dollars for a
scat for Tuesday or Friday night can Sc
cure tickets without any trouble, Not
withstanding the prccaution taken the
spectators got in their fine work and
the public will have to pay the piper. .
1t rests with the public whether 'thc

OLD SILVER AND LITTLE LARRY.
a story About the Once Famous Battery
of Ihn CIlicnmn Tcmmn-

story About the Once Famous Battery
of the Chicago Team.
The story of how Frank Flint, the
great catcher, and Larry Corcoran got
together is full of interest, and Curry
Foley tells. in the Sporting Ttmos how it
came about, in this way;
Larry played in Springfield, Mass.
during the season Of 1870, and in the fall
accompanied the Chicago Club to Cali
fornia. Corcorau had terrific speed, and
very few men wanted TO catch him.
After Springfield disbanded Corcoran
pitched few games for Worcester
against Albany, and Charley Bennett
was at the receiving end.
Benefits catching was wonderful he
putting out no less than thirty men in two
games He also had several assists. Ban
croft managed Worcester at the time, and
thought seriously of engaging Corcoran,
but Larry had given Bennett S hands such
bunging up in the games that Bancroft
decided not to take Larry. Anson took
Corcoran TO California with the Chica-
gos, and even Flint could not catch him.
But Flint was in no condition to catch
Other Chicago players and himself en-
ioyed "the elephant" " and looked upon
the trip from social standpoint. Cor
coran struck Chicago ahead of Flint and
had talk with Al Spaulding.
How do you like Flint for catcher?'
was Spalding's inquiry.
"Flint can't hold me," was Larry's re-
ply.
Spalding thought best not to engage
Corcoran until Fints return from the
Pacific coast. When Flint returned
Spalding said to him in a iocular way:
Frank, this man Corcoran says yon
cant hold him. Is that right?'
WHAT" exclaimed "Old Silver 81
cant catch Corcoran, ell? Did he say
that"
That's what he said"
"Well, you hire him." said "Silver, )"
"rll show him that can catch anybody.
Catching on hurah trip in California
and catching league game are two diff
ferent things"
Spalding hired Corcoran, and better
battery than "Old Silver" and "the smart
little bit of man. have never seen. In
a game at Chicago Corcoran struck out
Dan Brothers three times in succession.
For five years-lSS0 to 1884 inclusive
Corcoran performed yeoman service for
Chicago. During 1885 Corcoran was re-
leased by Chicago and joined the New
York Club.
