He passed through the house and out into
the back yard, where member of the family
found him short time afterward. A physi-

said his death was caused by heart disease.
Mr. McFadden was engaged in the roofing
business and was we'll known in both cities.

BROOKLYN, August 2-The Pittsburg Ma
tioual League club presented very clever
team against the Brooklyns at Washington
Park to-cay, but unfortunately they were not
in It, Their fielding, rs rule, was clean and
effective but at the bat they were quite weak.
Terry apparently had the gauge Of every mans
capacity as batsman. and but seven balls
were sent to the outfeld. four being safe hits.
He was little wild at times, but at the proper
moment he invariably caught the visitors
mapping. Baker pitched good game up to the
seventh inning, when the Grooms started in to
bat. They scored four in the seventh and two
in the eighth, putting the game out of all
doubt for their side. Sales playing at short
was one of the features of the game. He ac-
cepted IL chances and did not miss one of them.
LaRoque also played a good fielding game, but
could not get on to Terry's curves. Attendance,

STATE COOKING MAIN.
The Annual Ohio Event Occurs
at Delaware.

The Annual Ohio Event Occurs
at Delaware.
CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 23.-The annual
state cooking main occurred at Della
ware. o., last night. Cleveland birds
were pitted against those from Della
ware and Chillcothe. Twenty-one
birds were shown on side, and seven
teen battles fought. OF these Cleve-
land carried off eight and the Delaware
party won nine. taking the extra fight
needed to give them the main itself.
For the first battle birds weighing
five pounds and thirteen ounces were
pitted. The Cleveland bird was black
red and the Southern bird was Domi-
nick, owned in Chillicothe. In less than
five minutes the Cleveland cock was
dead in the pit and Delaware was jubi-
liant. Again the Delaware bird won
and more Cleveland money was lost.
But the tide of fortune here took a sud
den turn and Cleveland won six straight
battles.
All this time the betting was very
heavy. and when the six fights had been
won by Cleveland the Delaware men
were either entirely cleaned out or else
had been scared into quitting. Cleve-
land WAS Jubllant; Delaware was Just
the reverse. Then came another
change. Five good Delaware cocks were
pitted in succession. and all the CleTe-
land cocks were either killed or counted
out. But the Delaware sports had been
scared. and very little money had
changed hands OH these battles. Then
came another little run for Cleveland,
the local birds winning the next two
fights. But this was all, for the two
last fights and the main were won by
Delaware, making the result eight vic
tories for Cleveland and nine for Della
ware. On each fight so was laid and
on the main $500 more.

BELLIES OF AFRICA.
How the Beauties of the Dark
Continent Array Themselves in
CiCatriCeS


On the walls of the small room of Ex-
plorer Herbert Ward IN London are
divers sketches of the beauties of
Africa. There is a sketch of a woman
of the Bakungo-a woman of the Oupo-
tos-One of the most savage tribes of
the Great river. In this sketch the face
is distigured by series of cicatrices.
making it as bideOuS as can well be i'm
agined. This form of tattouing is pro-
duced by making wounds in the flesh
of about half an inch in length, and
never allowing them to heal properly {;
when they show tendency to do so
the OupotoS pull them roughly apart;
the result is line and a conglomera-
ton of lines of scars horrible to behold.
The Oupotos. he tells you. in their
cooking arrangements are not alto
gether suggestive of Partisan Gordon
bleu; it is not quite nice 10 sit down to
dinner company where the usual
necklace is composed of human teeth,
neither is the pariah dog as savory as
might be suggested.
AS to the treatment of women by the
natives, and particularly by the follow
ers of Ripped. to give one instance take
the story of Sapenia, as told by MIR
Deane to Mr.. Herbert Ward.
''Sapenia, the daughter of Kassongo,
had been given to Tippoo lib as a
pledge of friendship by her father, but
she, being of the Wachongera-meno
tribe. was ill-treatad by the Arabs, so
much SD that she ran away 10 us; on
being examined no traces of ill-treat-
ment could be discovered, and. as Mr.,
Dean had no right to interfere where
there was no i'll usage, she was conduct
ed back TO her Arab master After a
few days she came to us again with her
back covered with lashes from whip
and her body covered with bruises. tell
ing us that she had been terribly
logged.
I'VE kept her, and some days after,
when her tyrantS came to seek her, MIR.
Deane told them that he could not think
OF letting her be taken back again TO be
treated with such brutal violence: that
he was sent to the country to see justice
done; aud that, as the representative
of the Congo Free State. he intended to
do his duty. 1t is rather unfortunate
that this woman should have paid b ack
the kindness shown to her with partic-
ular ingratitude. She might have been
OF the greatest use-only never waste
