seemed a little hirtatious, too, in her
manner as she walked up to the soda
fountain. The debonair clerk was SO

not forbear to make the attempt to
strike up an acquaintance with her, so
he winl1ed at her.
"No, thank you," she said; nothing

BIG FIRES IN NEW YORK,
The Opera House Badly Damaged
Seven Other BuiIdin ss DESTROYED.

Two disastrous fires were raging SIM
ultaneously the other afternoon, one New
York's magnificent temple of music, the
Metropolitan Opera House, and the other,
two miles away, in group of buildings
Wooster street, occupied by furrierS, paper
box manufacturers and small tailors.
In the case OF the Opera House the flames
completely destroyed the stage and scenery,
and scorched the interior of the great
auditorium. The fireproof partitions helped
to save the Broadway end of the building,
which was not damaged seriously, and the
strong walls of the great structure stood
unhurt by the heat of the fire, but the loss
of property is estimated to be about
5000, 600. Cornelius Koran, a paint COY
employed in the building, jumped three
stories down well hole to escape the
flames and received injuries from which n
died the same night.
The downtown fire destroyed seven
1imsy buildings at Wooster and Prince
streets, occupied for business pur poses by
various firms. The fla spread with great
rapidity, and panic ensued among the
employees at work in the building which
first caught fire. One young woman died
of injuries received ami five other persons
were seriously hurt. The pecuniary damage
is estimated at $3.50. 900.

THE NATIONAL GAME.

HAwLEY. the st. Louis Clubs new Texas
pitcher, wears his hair long like Buffalo
Bill.
MANAGER H ANLoN's handling of the Bal
timores is beginning to show in concerted
team wOEk.
The Clevelands were the crst team in the
second division to win a game from every
other team in the League.
DAN BRoUTBERs, of the Brooklvns, is the
only one OF the famous Big Four OF 1887
still regularly in the game.
A FEATURE of the playing of the clubs in
the second season is the remarkable show
ing made by the new men.
THE League race is closer now than at any
time before this season. Eight clubs have
won at least half of the game played SO far.
BAsSETT is playing a great third base for
the Louis vil1es and batting like champion.
He is the best third ba seman Louisville ever
had
DUFFY, of the Bo stons is credited with
playing twenty succe sSive games in centre
field, in the second series, before he made an
error.
HUTCHINSON Chicago's star pitcher, seems
to be losing his effectiveness. His speed IS
decreasing and he has poor command OF his
curves.
MANAGER IRWIN realizing that the WASH
ington team was becoming steadily weaker
IN batting, has released Robinson and &C.
copied Brownlng's terms.
BASEBALL IS on the boom everywhere in
the big Leag ue circuit. The attendance at
the games in the second championship series,
has been large everywhere.
Tom DAILY, of the Brooklyns, has shown
his worth as a general player to Captain
Ward by his magnificent work in covering
third base in the absence of Billy Joyce.
Boston won he first championship be-
cause her plave RS went after runs, and
Cleveland is out tor the flag of the second
half with the same general idea controlling
the men.
The St. Louis team contains three of last
years New York team-G ,assccck, Gore and
Buckley-and the New York team has three
of the st. Louis 1891 play ers In its service
Lyons, Fuller and Boyle.
TIE Baltimore Club management refuse to
favorably consider the petitions for the re-
instatement OF Halligan, who was suspended
for the season because Of his recent savage
assault on Stricken at Boston. The man.
agement saw the SUSPENSION verdict will not
be modified.
OUTFIELDER J OE KELLY work since join
ing the Pittsburgs has been wonderful, and 1t
clearly stamps him as the star find OF the
season. He has splendid judgment in the
field, is fast runner, strong thrower, AMI
heavy, reliable hitter. His work has earned
for him the sobrquet Of king Kel, Jr."
