The interest in haud-ball seems 10 be on
the increase, Judging from the large attend
ance of spectators as well as players at the
various courts yesterday. The game is a
very healthy one, bringing all of the muscles
of the body into play, and is considered so
fine an exercise that it has been adopted as
part Of the training of the best athletes. The
weather at present is especially favorable
for the players, as it allows them to Indulge
in the game for hours without becoming
oveTheated. AS winter sport the game ia
sad TO have no superior.
A Buffers court yesterday there was a
number of very interesting games. The first
one played was between the following teams :;
George Mcdonald and Mike O'Neil against
Charles Shane aud Dan Delaney. The game
was hotly contested, and some very bril-
liant PLAYS were made by both sides. The
first named players, however. won the rub,
making the first two fifteen aces out of three.
So evenly matched are the men that their
friends arranged for a second contest he

which was won by the latter team.

Ihis was the most exciting game of the day,
as all OF the players are masters OF the sport
Ryan's playing was particularly noticeable
for the ease and finish with which he
scored his points. DAILY, who is a New
ork player, lately from the East also ex-
cited considerable admiration for his exprrt
manipulation of the balls. The first-men-
toned team won two straight rnbs, the lat
ter team only getting Is aces. 1t was only
at the conclusion Of the game that the win
nng team forged ahead
In the next contest Robert Shields and

Other important measures were also con-

stated the conditions under which they
would sell white labor goods exclusively
The matter was taken under advisameilt,
but there is a good prospect of an agree

soon being entered into.
The retail clerks asked for additional as
slstance in compelling store-keeperS to carry
out the early-closing agreement. a sub
committee was appointed to wait upon

Three Bold Men Make d Big Haul on a
Georgia Train.
The express ear in charge Of J. T. Byne was
held by three masked men and robbed Just
east of Collins Station, Ga.
Conductor Reed says he stopped at Collins
to let off a passenger, and when the train
pulled out he saw no one get on but his en-
gineer saw three men standing on the side of
the road and they got on the front of the ex-
press car. Just as the train left the station
Mr. Byne, the messenger says one of them
entered the ear with his pistol drawn followed
by the other two, who ordered him to unlock
his safe, which he did at the point of three
Misunderstanding pistols.
The men were of medium size, and wore as
masks portions Of black hats They also wore
large black aprons. Immediately after going
through the car they rang the bell and when
the train was nearly at a standstill they jump
ed and ran off through an old field.
Conductor Reed, who was making his way
to the smoking-car, where he supposed a row
was in progress, saw one of the men running,
and says he expected the fugitive had cut
some one and was making his escape.
Messenger Byne says he does not know the
amount stolen, but he says the men overlooked
some very large packages. 1t was rumored
the amoGnt was 30,000, though the express
officials only acknowledge to about s., 500. 1t

Philadelphia scientists are preparing to

something like a second, or at the rate
of only some 400, 900 miles a minute,
while light ambles along at million

at McGill College, Montreal, to Liver

was 5000 miles. Time, one second au1

The Piymics of the African Forest

During the very hungriest time spent
by Stanley's expe 1ition in going through
the dense forest, it happened that the
discovery of little child Of the dwarf
tribe proved truly providential
Upon approaching one of the settle
ments of these people, the natives, fear
ing that the Arabs were upon them,
hastily retreated to the depths of the
jungle, leaving in the village one OF the
young children. He was an uugainly
little creature, and from Slleh's descrip.
ton had an enormously big head, pro
truding lower jaw, lean frame and IN
calmly fat body. The Zlnzibaris sat
about in detected groups, complaining
of their present hard existence, aud the
sad contrast of to day with their Joyous
life in their island home away in the
Indian Ocean.
The little Tcki-Teki (pigmy), although
not more than three years old, was busily
searching for so nething in the dry
leaves. The Zanzibaris were attracted
by the child's activity. Presently the
sparkle of his eyes and the increased
earnestness of his hunt showed that he
had been successful; aud, indeed, he re-
turned to the campfire carrying lot
of pods like enormous beans. These he
scraped to fine powder, which he
damped, rolled in some big leaves, and
then toasted in the ashes When cooked
to his satisfaction he opened the dainty
package aud the whole camp became
filled with the pleasant odor of this
new dish. The men OF the expedition
then closed around, anc, much to the
young Teki-Teki's disgust, helped them
selves to a tasting pinch. The Zlnz;-
bars knew the tree quite well; it was
''makneme. This new discovery brought
a CLEAN of hope to the hearts Of these
hungry beings The capture OF the tiny
woodsman was godsend, AMI Saleh
said that had this unhappy little
creature but family understood their
language he would have been over
whelmed with the heartfelt blessings
showered Oh him. A few days after
ward another tribe OF these same small
people was met, aud the child wa3
handed over to them to be returned to
his parents. 81. NicIo2as
