CHICAGO, Dec 17.-Frank S. Flint "Old
Silver the once famous catcher Of the
White Stockings, is in hard luck lately. Some
time ago Flint's wife sued HIM for divorce,
and Yesterday the sheriff closed his saloon at
Thrrty-ffth street aud Fifth avenue on
confession of judgment in favor of the Peter
Schoenhofen brewing company, while bill
lard company to which he was indebted for
saloon furniture foreclosed a chattel mort
gage on the most of his effects. The saloon
IS opposite the Brotherhood park, and Flint
started his place last summer in anticipation
of large patronage from his many admirers,
but he allowed the business to run itself, i'll
the language of the attorney for the brewing
company. He failed 10 pay his rent two
months ago. and gave judgmentnote for the
amount due. but he showed no sign of at
tempting to clear up the Indebtedness. and
the judgment was entered. The amount ow-
ing was but $40.

Death In the Desert.

1t has just come to light that "a party
Of Chinese, who attempted to smuggle
themselves into the lated States from
lower California, got lost on the desert
and had terrible experience, one of the
party dying Of thirst and exposure. They
found the frontier 80 closely guarded
that they stole march toward the east
ward and got into the desert. Here they
got lost and wandered aimlessly around
for several days, suffering 'unutterable
agonies.
One of the Mongoilans was,a youth Of
some IA years. He gave outtunder the
terrible suffering and documentary. In
his rawlings he imagined the'blistering
sands were limpid water and eagerly
filled his parched mouth with,tlle burn
ing particles. This only added to his
horrors, and pretty soon he lay down to
die, his companions being in too pitiful
condition to render him any assistance.
Here they heaped pile.of sand upon
him and left him alone to sleepih his last
long slumber, while they, with swollen
tongues, aching limbs and eavyihearts,
continued their aimless wanderings-
lost in trackless desert. 1t is asserted
that they at last reached the railroad and
soon reached Los Angeles, minus every
thing they had. attempted to bring into
the country except the clothes upon
their backs. They had thrown away the
bundles containing the many things the
Chinese hold dear, all of which mark
their track upon the waste Of sands
AS the almond eyed ones have a sys-
tenn of spreading information among
themselves, it is quite likely this terrible
experience will prevent any more of
them attempting to invade the United
States via the desert route.-San Diego

A Brief Harangue on Talking
Slang.

This "sermonette7 Is especially for you
dear girls. The advice could De pot In
three words-UOnt do IT, Possibly
there might come an occa.ion-say once

the genuine article slang would prove
funny But 70 hear vulgar words Used
by 3 gentle girl Is almost invariably
shocking remember passing two girl
in the street and hearing one OF them
say, I'm bet you q quarter 1t gavs mt
q SILVER. And when group of school
girls Ill their conyersstion-as, alas they
often do--wih one slang phrase af.er an
other, the effect on an outsider IL pain
fully disagreeable.
The habit Of talking slang grows rap
idly. It Is like reporting biz Of scan
dal. Have you ever noticed IL you sal
al unkind word against a neIghbor, how
quickly chance comes TO say another
And with just that same appalling ease a
habit Of using careless coarse words In

nation, or sympathy, without recourse u

street Arab picks up slang as he does the
ends Of old cigars from the gutter.
Surely q well-bred girl Is not On the same
level in her speech and manner. Why
should she use vulgar words any more
than she would stain her hands: There
ought TO be something akin to flowers in
q fresh young girl. She need not be
prudish nor piggish. No one wishes her
10 say 'prunes and prisms" to coax her

A Good Outlook for Hudson River Fruit.
The outlook for large yield Of high
and low vine fruits in the (Hudson river
valley, between Rlrrytowm and Corn
wall, is promising. Fruit men who are
lying and pruning vines say that unless
4 wet season is experienced i'll June, the
strawberry crop will be beyond the aver
age harvests in past seasons. The Ant
werp raspberry canes are healthy and
give evidence of an abundant crop. The
peach crop has been more or less injured
There are many orchards in southern
Ulster that will not yield more than a
bushel of fully matured fruit. Other
orchards in Marlborough, Clintondale,
Highland and New Paltz will yield %
per cent. of a full crop.
Many of the trees are now i'll blossom,
which confirms the statement of pains
taking horticulturists, made early in
March, that the Hudson river peach crop
will not be complete failure this season
unless unlocked for atmospheric changes
are experienced. 1t is yet too early to
predict the output of grapes. Fruit
growers are taking every precaution de-
manded for the proper care of the vines.
and the disease which proved 80 disas-
trous to the crop last season is believed
to have been cured by the application of
remedies especially prepared for the vine.
1t remains to be seen if the predictions
of practical men, made concerning the
effect of wet summer ON the vines, will
be verified. Kingston Freeman,

The Intellectual Training OF

how to retain and increase the affection

that the Ideal home should be Beauty
will still be beauty, charm will still De
charm. and acca6.mical honors cannot
strip women Of eithe- and the love that
is attracted by them when accompanied
by thorough intellectual development Is
love which will outlast that captured by
the tricks and arts which kindle but
temporary fame, for the development OF
the mind develops and eniGrges all the
rest of the being, other things being
equal. 1t is well known that there are
no better mothers, nor more faithful
wives. nor more accomplished house
keepers, nor more delightful guests, than
can be found among our present cultured
learned, and literary women. All the
education In the world will not eradicate
from the feminine nature the household
instincts or the love of home and children
Nowhere Is real intellectual training
found TO weaken the feminine type; but
on the contrary, homes are finer, richer
