Too Heavy an Obligation.
yat, Vnri, Tf,,,aa

A dirty, disreputable-loo beggar,
with bandage around his head and a
black eye, accosted a fashionably-
dressed individual on Broad street yes
terday, saying: ,'Say, boss, give me a
few coppers to gel something to eat,
will yer? Him lawful 'ungry." The
well-dressed individual turned on him
with supercilious look, gazed at him a
moment, and said, in a lordly fashion,
"Come with Inc y As he spoke he led
the way into high-priced cafe. Strut
ting up to the cashiers desk, the mendi-
cant humbly following, he threw down a
25-cent piece and said, SO loudly that
everybody in the place could hear him !:
Here This beggar says he is hungry.
Give him something to eat. 1t will stop
him from annoying people," He started
to strut out then, but the beggar called
him back. Pulling his dilapidated coat
around his body, drawing himself up to
his full height, and raising his battered
hat with mock politeness, he said, as
loudly as the other had spoken: "Hi
don't see as 'ow Hi can accept yer
'ospitality, boss. Him afraid as 'ow it
would be placing too 'eavy an obligation
on I'm who as to pay future rewards
for good acts done ERE" With this he
bowed graycly and started for the door.
A. laugh went up from the men in the
place, under fire of which the individual
who had attempted to be so ostentatious
in his petty almsgiving retreated shame
facedly.

What New Workers. Think of the Harlan
& hollingsworth Company's Steamships
The following complimentary words
are from an editorial in the Marine
journal, New York city, of Saturday
last, in regard TO the beautiful steam
ship Maine, built by the Harlan e. Hol-
lingsworth Company of this city, for
the Providence u Stonington Steamship
Company:
Last week another splendid speci-
men of marine architecture, from the
yard of one of Americas oldest iron
shipbuilding firms, arrived at this port,
to be added to the already large fleet of
magnificent steamers which ply Long
Island Sound. Both builders and own
ers, respectively the Harlan e. Hollings-
worth Company and the Providence
u Stonington Steamship Company,
are to be congratulated on the
conception and design of this
stanch, roomy and speedy craft, whose
departure in style of motive power for
this route from side wheel to pro-
peller is most radical. The room gained
and the high speed attained, seventeen
and sixteenth miles, cannot fail to make
her an unusually profitable boat She
is named for the old Pine Tree State of
Maine. Splendidly equipped and care
fully manned, us she will be, nothing
can prevent this handsome craft from
meeting every expectation of her owners
and builders and the travelling public"

The New York Tribune reports The new
Stonington Line steamer Maine, the latest
addition to the great lcet of Sound steam
ers, arrived here Friday morning, after
run from Delaware lSreak%ater to Sandy
Hook of six hours. As this is run Of
10 miles, her average speed was 20 miles
an hour, This makes her the fastest ship
of her kind ailoat and brings joy to the
hearts of the company's officials. She had
moderately rough sea coming up the
coast, all the rumpus kicked up by the
recent north east gale not having subsidized
Her performance in making sustained
speed Of 20 miles an hour for six hours so
pleased the officers who brought her up
from the Breal1water, that they set every
bit of bunting on board the steamer, and
she cameup the harbor ovcrshadowed with
a cloud of flags.

snap Judgment would name J. Anderson.
l.. Pelly and Harry Meserve as candidates
Tor the cup. This will be Meserves first
appearance this season. He is PLAYING
lar better game than last year and, if his
nerve holds good, will give his opponents
hard fight. Pelly is a player whom one
may expect to play better the harder he is
pressed. Should he be drawn against
Meserve and the latter weaken in the
least, Pelly will win. Anderson is surely
strong candidate for honors and the ex-
perience of the recent Tacoma tournament
will stand him in hand.
The national tennis tournament at
Newport has been finished and Camp
bell, the holdover, has defeated Hovey,
the challenger, thus winning for the third
time the trophy cup. 1t now becomes his
property and the association will be
Obliged to furnish another.
w. b. Goodwin, who Is one of the best
athletic authorities On the Coast and an
enthusiastic admirer of tennis, said last
evening that the result Of the national
tournament at Newport was according to
his expectations. Campbell won from
Hovey without great exertion, and
Campbell, judged by his record
against the English players, is their
inferior. This leaves but one con-
clusion, the United States players do not
know all Of the fine points of the game.
In explanation of this state of affairs he
says that England has lot of cup-hunters
who play tennis continually. Tourna-
ments in England, as compared with this
country, are in the proportion of 10 to 1,
and the players in the same proportion.

in Effectiveness.
M'GlNNls AND CAMP ON TOP.
Leipef and Griflth Also Show Up Well
Why Mark Polhemus IL Called
"ths Old Soldier

An exhaustive statement of the work of
the pitchers of the Pacific Northwest
League for 1892 is given below. They are
ranked according to the percentage of
earned runs off their delivery. computed
with reference to times at bat of their
opponents. Gilliiand is given first
with .035 in sixteen games, while
Borchers is tied for second place with .037.
The work of both. however, was badly
marred by wiidness, and the real leaders
should be Griffith with .037. Leiper with
.O3S, McGinnis with .O39 and Camp with
.o4O. In batting averages of oppo-
nents Camp comes first with 207 in
thirteen games. McGInnis comes next
with .22l in thirty games. In the
number of strike-outs McGinnis is first
with an average of 5.63 per game. Griffith
is second with 40s. McNabb has the best
record in giving base on balls. with an av-
erage of but L63 a game. Gilliland had
the poorest control. sending an average
OF sos men to first on balls each game.
Everything considered the best work was
done by McGinnis and Camp, of Seattle;
Griffith. OF Tacoma, and Leiper, of Port
iond. Following are the figures:
