C. p. Huntington's Son-in-Law - Great
Scamp Ever.

Scamp as Ever.
Eugene Field.
When Prince Hatzfeidt married C. p.
Huntington's daughter there was q
vast amount of croaking INDUCED
in, and we fancy that the croak-
ers are prepared to hail with de-
light any report that may be made of the
unhappiness of that match. HatzfeIdt has
not reformed; he continues to indulge his
passion for gambling, but he is more lucky
than he was before he caught the rich
American girl.
At recent sitting he won the large sum
of SAC, 600, and his total winnings within six
months are said to put him about $4,000
ahead of the game. Hatzfeldt is In many
particulars a typical German ADVENTURE;
the recklessness and stoicism of the typi-
into his composition, yet withal there is
vein of sentiment in his nature. Miss
Huntington was not his first love.
His first affair was with Emile Loisset,
Partisan circus-rider, very pretty, very
bright and exceedingly proper: This girls
sister was happily welded to the prince De
Reuss. Emile was the pet of that part of
the public that patronized the circus; the
beaus courted her madly, but she put
them off SO cleyeriy that there was never
the least breath of scandal. Hatzfeldt was
more fortunate; he did not WOO in vain;
the charming circus-rider accepted him
and day was set for the wedding.
A month, however, before the time APP
pointed for the wedding, the horse upon
which Emile was performing in the circus,
fell and crushed the girl so terribly that she
died within week, after having borne with
wondrous fortifude the most agonizing
pains. Hatzfeldt was awfully shocked.
The first thing he did was to buy the
horse that had caused Emilie's death. and
he shot the poor brute over Emilie's
grave.
This was silly enough, but Hatzfeldt was
hardly more than boy at the time. And
he appears to be hardly less than scape-
grace now.

be millions.

place of investment" replied the Western
senator, although I have never crossed
the border"
Then you never was in the country ?"
the prospector exclaimed joyfuiiy, land
you can't know of its great possibilities. "
"Weil, l can judge, young man, can

Batting. Fielding. f ss.s,,

Arstudy of the table viii show the Seattle team
to be well-balanced in batting, fielding and
base-running, and in general strong in every
department.. Yet the figures do not show the
real value OF some of the men, notably Powell,
as base-runners, since they played in but .
comparatively small number of games.
From all reports, however, none OF the men
are record players, and what is better are all OF

Individually the nine appears very strong
and under the guiding hand of Abner Powell
ought to take high rank in team work.
