duty TO give information at he next stop

The New York World says:
Jacob Schaefer and William Cation, the
billisrdists. have arrived In this city and
are registered at the Gilsey house. Jake
spent most of the day in shaking hands
with his friends, and about 9 o'clo, K
dropped into Heiser's billiard room, at the
corner of Broadway and Twenty seventh
street. where game was going on be-
tween Heiser and Cation. The game be.
tween Heiscr and Cation. which had been
going on meanwhile, suddenly came TO
halt. While Heiser was at the table he
got the balls punched In the corner of the
table and in trying to send one of the OBJ
ject balls out of the eight>inch balk,
landed il on the line. Heiser was about
to continue playing when Cation jumped
up and claimed the balls were in
balk. There was an audience of about
thirty men watching the game and it was
folly thirty minutes before the thing was
settled. Almost every one thought the
balls were In and finally Heiser gave in.
Cation had meanwhile got pretty well
worked up and occasioned great laugh
when he shot with the wrong ball. Hei
ser then started in, but had no sooner
counted once when Cation was at him
again for not changing cue balls before
shooting. This occasioned another argu
ment lasting fifteen minutes. This time
Cation yielded, although he has the rules
to back up his protest. Heiser ran the
game out in the fortieth inning, averag-
ing 12t for 500 points. leaving Cation
with 900 buttons to his credit Cation is
in very poor form just at present as it lie
long while since he has touched a cue.
He will start In at once and practice reg

SOME DAY.


Some day so many fearful eyes
Are watching for thy dawning light
30 many faces toward the skies
Arc weary OF the night
30 many falling prayers that reel
And staSger upward through the storm;
And yearning hands that reach and feel
NO pressure true and warm
30 many hearts whose crimson wine
Is wasted TO purple stein;
And blurred and streaked With drops OF brins
Upon the lips OF pain
on, come 20 them-those weary onesi
Or, n thou still must blde awhile,
Make stronger yet the hope that runs
Before thy coming smile.
And haste and fiud them where they wait.
Let summer winds blow down that way.
Aud all they long for, soon or late.
Bring round 70 thefh-some day.
