The vessel sailed from here last march to

anything could be done the vessel was
caught in the icepack and frozen solid. in

A sensation was created in the society
circles OF this city couple OF years ago by
the marriage OF Forest Cheney, the violinist,
to Miss Poyzer, then a prominent belle in
society mere. The marriage was opposed
by the young lady's parents but she out
witted them and became the wife of the
viollnist. Their welded life did not prove
happy one and divorce followed. Mr..
Cheney has again entered the matrimonial
stale. having married Miss Leila Blodget
In San Francisco last Monday. She is the
daughter OF Hon. Lorin Blodget of Phila-
deiphla. who has earned some fame as a
statistlcian. The couple have come to Ala

by three impudent and vociferous cappers
10 throw second hand base balls at the holes,
the cappers promising that II one ball out
OF three passed into the hole the thT0wer
should have good cigar for his 10 cents
ante, while to throw three balls through in
succession was to win 30 cents; or one
could put up 81 under a promise of win
ming So.
Neither booth nor box was decorated. The
holes had been made with a keyhole saw
and were as ragged as the whole outfit was
barren. On the face of il the game seemed
to have no special cheating feature. Inc
chances were of course about 10 to 1 In
favor of the fakirs, for the holes were
snug fit about the balls, but on close obser-
walton 1t appeared that only the fakirs
could get more than two balls to pass
through any of the holes in succession.
The sucker who had enough skill TO hit
hole fairly three times in succession saw
the bail bound out on the third throw just
about as 1t did when unskillfully thrown,
except that the noise made when the ball
landed was different But for this fact the
crude appearance OF the whole outfit was
such as to impress every spectator with the
idea that there was at least ore square
game.

ball out could not be determined with GER

but II stiif black net were stretched be.
meath just as the ball was arriving it would
have had the desired effect and yet it would
have been invisible 70 the player. The
problem of getting the net across tho hole
was simple. Place it on the box end of
lever extending from the inside OF the box
TO the foot of the player as he stood behind
the bar or counter. The pressure of his
foot would shove the net beneath the hole.
and a spring would draw it back as soon as
the foot was removed.
Ii might seem little curious that any de-
vice of this kind should be wanted In ten
cent game, where, because the hole was
snug fit for the ball, the chances were ten to
one or more against an ordinary player, but
the play for 10 cents was only small part
of the game. Every player. cappeT or
sucker, had much larger stakes offered him
whenever two balls were thrown through
the hole.

In the belief that dragons blood was a
remedy for many diseases. According to
the legend the dragon was accustomed to
eat his own tail, and death followed the
operation. The poison that be was believed
TO secrete was supposed 10 be highly me-
dicinal As it was impossible to obtain the
body of a dragon to suspend as sign in
front of the ''chymist's" shop an alligator

sign. though they have forgotten its origin.
