Augustin Daily knew in years when he
may have been paid as much as SIS or $40 a
week for the hard work by which he earned
a living. His triumphant career since that
time as dramatic author, the author OF the
most popular plays Of the period, and as a
theatrical manager in New York and other
American cities, and in London and other
European cities, needs no record here.

Judge Bennett OF Jancsville, WIS.,, De-
cides the Paternity of n Child.
A case, said to be without a parallel in
the courts OF the world, has been decided
by Judge Bennett in the Circuit Court at
GAINESVILLE, Wis. The property of child,
worth $4,000, was involved, and the ques-
ton raised was that of paternity.
Leila Hurd 1ngle was divorced from An
drew 1ugle of Fulton, November 10, 1889
She married Alexander Shuman, February
10, 1890, and July s, 1890, daughter, Sarah,
was born. By the death Of Sarah's gaand-
father, Silas Hurd. and the subsequent
death Of her mother, the child became heir
to $50, co., Shuman, insisting that she was
his child, took charge OF the property.
Not for year afterward did Iugle have an
idea that the girl was his daughter. He was
led to believe that she was born nine mon this
after the second marriage instead Of five
months. When Sarah's younger sister died.
however the age that was put upon the cof-
fn-plate sho ed that Sarah, being just year
older, was four months older than was sup
posed. She would thus be the daughter Of
InRle under the law covering the paternity
OF children born within eight months after
divorce. But under another law, which
declares all children born in lawful we'd
lock to be fruits of that union, she would
be the daughter OF Shumen.
After hearing the evidence Judge Bennett
took the case from the jury and ruled for
the plaintiff. He held Ingle to be the father
of the child, thus putting the care of her
property into the hands Of her guardian,
John Hurd. The remarkable resem blance
of Sarah to Mr.. Iuge is spoken of as a
strong factor in the case.

appeared in the American Field and evil
deutly written by himself at his Ocean View
villa. 1t is splendid piece of newspaper
writing, and terminates thusly:
The greatest race of the day was by jack
call Paddy Murphy. He Is named after one OF
our State Senators and a prominent newspaper
man. He Is slightly lame and when this OK
gels up from his bed be is a little lame also; but
when lie is pressed by his opponents lie Is ike
the man he IS named after. He runs right away
from them, for there are no two dogs living that
can Turn or catch the great Paddy. l have bad
him at Ocean View Park near two years. He
can run of whole slXiy-four dog stake; but II
is very hard to get him out OF the breeding park
into the running field only whenever he likes 10

Speaking of Rordan and Casey the Phila-

to beat Two men al The Union Court, San Fran

of 81 TO TO- p TO ~ and 81 TO 7. n ar the close
of The second game Rordan injured his hand,
but he acknowledged that his opponents were
too strong FOR him.
In speaking of the exhibition champion
Casey said:
| RloTdan's defeat does not signify anything.
| He may be great player for all that. l would
at any time rather play one man and give him
| fifteen aces game than TO play two men, If

RiOrdan has no great desire to wager any
large sum of money on himself against the
champion; but if Casey should visit this
city at any time the local champion would
not be averse to a contest, without Il handi-
