Pitcher Mars of the Oaklands has home

Pitcher Mars Of the 0aklands has home
ward wheeled his droning flight and left
the world to darkness and Colonel Robinson.
He left Friday night for the East with some
advance salary. which he had not yet over
taken. Like all bail players who want to
leave, Mars bad a grievance. Early last
week the Colonel proposed to Mars that
they settle things for the time being by
having the twirler pitch a while on the
benrh without ray. Mars objected to this.
He said he didn't propose TO have the
mashed potatoes and gravy taken out of his
mouth when lie was anxious and able to
work. The superstition is that the pitcher
has sought a more c. j.-COGgenial job.
One night in Jail at Portland and the res
titutOn of part of the money with which
they absconded has squared Ward and Hus-
ton With the Sacramento management as
far As the later is concerned. Some time
ago these two, as well as the rest of the
players, were told that II they saw a chance
to better themselves they could have their
release. Sacramento had no objection to
Ward and Huston leaving and would never
have stayed them but for the money they
took. An inventory taken by the Portland
Chief of Police in the jail disclosed $3.50,
the sum total of the cash on hand. This
was sent to Sacramento and Messrs. Ward
and Huston once more breathed the pure
air If freedom.
Jimmy Fogarty's funeral will take place
this morning at O'Clock from ST. DOminic's
Church, coTnerOf Burns and Steiner streets.
Ever since last Friday the Oakland team has
worn mourning on the field, aud yesterday
the flags at the Haight-street grounds were
draped at half-mast.
1t is said that the local club of Quincy,
H., has smiling battery this sPaSOn in
Murphy and Daniels The two give each
other the signals wholly by smiles, as fol-
lows: Little stingy smile, straight and
swift: smile on left side of face, outcurve;
right side smile, inshoOt; broad smile, show
ing teeth, drop ball; smile from ear to ear,
extending partly back 10 a portion of the
neck, throw the ball to second.
SnOrtstop Fisher of the Quincy Club has,
by order of the Board of Control, returned
to the Seattle Club $50 which he received
as advance money and railroad fare last
August, when he accepted the money but
failed to report for duty in Seattle. Fisher
could not play with Quincy until he had
made restitution.
No player in the country has been ordered
off the field by unpires as often as Jay
Faatz OF the Syracuse Stars.
A sweetly solemn hush is noticeable now
in the Sacramento team since Ward left, as
far as kicking is concerned. 1t is true that
McGuirk has a great deal TO say, but his re-
marks are In the nature Of gOod-humored
Joking and the audience seems 10 enjoy il.
McClOskey has signed a new player in the
person of DugaD, who is now with Mil
waukee. He led the batting In the ColOnels
last year, and is a handy man behind the
bat or in right field.
San Jose is making record for ninth and
tenth inning finishes. Twice during the past
series with Frisco the Gardeners have
cleaned up a victory for themselves when
Ii was about TO perch on FriscO's brow.

An Eastern Man Sees His Mistake and
Corrects 1t Pleasantly.
An Eastern man who went out 10 see one
of the future big cities of Dakota and found
only four shanties along the railroad track,
said to the urbane founder of the town:

and busting town, but it looks doubtful"

other. "She can't possibly help but BOOM"
But what is there to boom it on?"

The stranger was going to say he didn't
see any, but checked himself. He was too
late, however. The founder drew back aud
fluttered his right hand toward his pistol
pocket and demanded:

HOW HE WORKED IT.
Boy Sells Newspapers and Charitabl
People at the Same Time.

A Boy Sells Newspapers and Charitable
People at the Same Time.
AS was ascending the steps of the IL
road station, notlong ago. nearly stumbled
over very small boy seated at the bottom
OF the second landing, says a writer in the
New York Herald. He was an italian
about years Of age. Under his arm was q
couple OF newspapers, although the hour
Tor selling them was late-10 o'clock.
Stopping on the landing above to finish
my cigar before boarding the train, Iagain
noticed the boy, who had settled his head
comfortably upon his arm and lay appar-
emily fast asleep.
A man came upstairs, ling red a moment
the lads side and then softly slipped a coin
in the boys hand, making no attempt to
awake him. When his benefactor's foot
steps DIED away the uTcbin started up to eX-
anime the coin, spat upon it for luck and
stored it away.
The rumble Of doHn-cOming train caused
him to prick up his ears and fall back again
into bis somnOlent attitude. A certain in
fantile grace peeped forth from his smudgy
face as 1t lay upturned partially revealed by
the Pickering glare of the gas. His papers
dangled carelesSly under his left arm. that
hung Imply and dejected-like by his side.
1t was an effective pose in its path0s.
Interested, l still watched the artful little
fraud.
Passengers began to descend. The first,
prim. spinster-like female, stopped short,
handed him coin, babe him keep the
change. took a paper, advised him to 90
home and went on.
After her tripped an airy, fairy-like miss,
amid great rustling of skirts, radiant in
beauty that set off to advantage sparkling

hands in dismay and emitted little cry of
horror.
"Oh, George" she cried, "see therep'
George was her escort.
he calamity arose al once to the situation.
Diving into his pocket he transferred there
from quite little sum of juggling change
into the boys hand
Sympathy seemed contagious.
Other passengers contributed literally and
went their ways, leaving the boy alone.
He sat Vi right, carefully counted the
spells, and then settled down again for more
business. How long this lasted, whether
the little fellow had evolved this scheme
from his own inner consciousness or been
padrOned-so to say-into it, had no time
to ascertain.
This is but one instance in thousand in

bic people are hoodwinked v, ~ often in
their indiscriminate aims-glVing

A SWISS NIGHT OF TERROR.

The Terrible Effects OF a Midnight Ava
Ianche Crashing Into Valley.
The priest of the district of Briston in the
Canton of Uri, writes an account of a
night of terror which his people passed
through some weeks ago. The whole valley
was covered deeply with snow. Shortly
after midnight those who were still awake
felt sort of shudder pass through the val
ley, followed by succession of explO sonS
with noise like the lOudeSt thunder 1t
was an avalanche of the finest snow, like
powder, which swept down the valley from
the Blistenstock with such force that its de-
structive force extended nearly halt mile
below the termination oil the glacier,
Some houses were entirely wrecked and
the roofs blown away from Others. In one
of these unroofed houses two girls were
sleeping in an upper room when the ava
lanche fell upon them, completely burYing
them. In the morning they were dug out.
Beyond their terrible fright they suffered no
harm. Numbers of trees have been up
rooted and even broken into pieces, and the
whole neighborhood presents picture OF
desolation.-Lucerne Vaterland.

Chewing Up Watches and Jewelry After
Being Imprisoned in a Store.
A bear from Potter County Rugged to
splinters nearly all the clocks in Zahn's
jewelry mandatory in Lancaster, Pa. The
animal was captured in the forests of Potter
County by some hunters, who took him
home. A temporary cage was constructed in
one corner Of the jewelry factory. This after
noon he tore hole through the side of his
prison, rushed out and began his tour of de-
molition. People outside heard tumut in
the building When the door was opened a
strange spectacle was presented. Up on n
a broad stout shelf sat bruin, munching q
heavy silver watch. A dozen men were
summoned, who with clubs attempted to
dislodge the invader. The bear growed
OminOusly, snatched up more watches from
the broken case and ran. For a long time
he baffled his enemies, during which time
lie managed to break down shOp-cases, upset
furniture. smash windows and destroy jew
elry at an alarming rate. At last he was
forced to take refuge under the building,
from which place the crowd of men and
boys was, unable to dislodge him.-Star

Frisco Plays Second Fiddle in a Brilliant
Contest.
SAN JOSE, May 31.-The weather being
fine 3oO0 people attended Recreation Park
this afternoon and saw the home team beat
Friscos out in the tenth inning in beautiful
contest. Both teams put up remarkable
game, the fielding being at all times brilliant t
and sensational. Ennis men played what
might be called an errorless game, as Ever
ett's error was made by falling backward
trying TO field slow hit.
Frisco's inability to hit Harper's curves
safely was the main cause of defeat. San
Jose scored one in the second by judicious
base running, and in the third by Ha2ley's
twc-baggeT to deep center, sacrifice and n
deep drive past Hassamer. In the third
SOmmers got safe on Everetts error. and
scored on Sharp's single to right. The score
was tied in the eighth. when Cobb, who
reached first on balls. scored on Sweeney's
single. Errors of Sharp and Hassamer
gave Everett and Ebright bases in the be-
ginning of the tenth. StallingS hit safe to
short center and both came home. FriscOs
