DANCING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

Mexican Women Are Charming, but Their
Lovers Arc Unpleasantly Jealous.
A theatrical man was relating some of
his experiences in the Office of the Sew
enth Avenue hotel yesterday, and he
told story of narrow escape he had
in the west.
81 was ahead of an opera company
which was playing ON the Pacific coast
few years ago." said he, "and one day
struck town on the Mexican border
where I came near remaining perma-
nently, as after events showed. There
was Mexican ball being held that even
ing, and in company with the local man
ager and party Of young fellows l
dropped in to see the fun.
81 had heard great deal of the beauty
and manners of Mexican women and
was curious to get peep at Greaser So
ciety. The dance was in full blast when
we arrived, and we had not been there
long until We decided to take hand in
the fun. A pretty little senorita, with
great lustrous eyes that would make a
man mad if he looked at them too long,
attracted my attention, and without the
formality of an introduction asked her
for dance. She accepted, and we
whirled through waltz, which she
seemed to enjoy as much as l.
''She was as light and graceful as she
was handsome, and when seated her
took occasion to engage another dance,
which was followed by another. TWAS
case of smitten, confess, but one of
my friends interrupted my dream by
taking me to one side and saying: See
here; do you want to get us all into
trouble? If you don't you had better
take walk out of this place right away
while you're in good health asked
him to explain, and he did SO. DO you
see that Greaser over there? Well, he's
the lover of that girl you've been fiirt-
ing with, and he's been watching you
with a bad eye. There's going to be
trouble here soon if we don't get out
"'Nonsense,' replied, what do care
for the whole gang of yellow skinned
dogs? I've got this dance engaged with
my little charmer and I'm going to have
it. AS the music struck up the senorita
and l started out, but we had only
danced few measures when tho circus
began. Bang! went revolver shot and
avolley followed. The lights went out,
my partner screamed and left me, and
matters got very interesting in very
short space of time. At the first shot
dropped to the floor, and as the crowd
was in the middle of the room had lit
tie trouble in cropping my way to the
wall and finding the door.
when got on the outside 1 found
my friends, who had made their escape
when they saw what was coming, and
they were greatly surprised to find me
with a whole skin. These Greasers
have their way of doing things remark

him" Pittsburg Post.

Where Tortoise Shell Comes From.

have understood that the finest tor
toise shell comes from the Indian archi-
pelago and is shipped from Singapore,
and much of it is obtained on the Flor
ida coast. There are three rows of
plates on the back, called "blades" by
the fishermen.
In the central row are five plates, and
in each of the others four plates, the
latter containing the best material. Be-
sides these there are twenty-five small
plates around the edges of the shell,
known as "feet" or "noses." The big
gest turtle does not furnish more than
sixteen pounds of tortoise shell. Form
erly the under shell was thrown away,
being considered worthless, but at pres
ent it is very highly valued for its deli
cacy of coloring. Nowadays a very
beautiful imitation of tortoise shell is
made of cows horns.-Interview In

Umbrella "Talk,"

To place an umbrella in a rack at a club
ina licates that it will shortly change own
ers'. If a cotton one is substituted for a
silk, it means exchange is no robbery. An
umbrella held over a lady, with man get
ting all the raindrops from the points, sig
nifies courtship; but when a man keeps
the lions share of the article and gives the
lady the droppings it indicates marriage.
To carry an umbrella under the arm at an
angle implies that the individual follow
ing will lose an eye, while to hold it just
high enough to injure passers' eyes and
mems hats signifies 81 am a woman"
Lastly, the loan of an umbrella is syony-
nous with an act of egregious folly

BIT THE DUST.
Clausen Meets His First Defeat
in the Windsor Tourney.


A new phase of affairs has been pre-
sented in the Windsor house amateur
billiard tournament. A. Z. Clausen,
who had scored all unbroken chain of
victories, took his first defeat last even
ing. The remarkable feature of the
event was that he came to grief at the
hands of Markham, who had been de-
feated three times, and not all by the
most promising contestants. 1t is
true, however, that Markham has
innate abilities. and it should be
narrated that he is deserving of
really better standing than the history
taDulatiOn gives him credit. Markham
has good stroke, and at times he plays
a telling game. but he is cratic, and
perhaps lacks one quality that is pre-
requisite in brilliant performer
supreme confidence. This places Clausen
on all even score with Fred Sibley, and
it is safe to predict an exciting struggle
from this time on between these two
players. while Markham is steadily bet
tering his condition. Capt. Hardacre
has made good advancement during the
week. and promises to make things in
teresting for the van performers before
the finale. Last evening Mr.. Clausen
was able to score but SO points to Mark
hams 100, but it should be explained
that ClauSen was in wretched form. He
missed easy carroms repeatedly, and the
number of innings is proof OF rather IN
different play.
There was one other game in the Sc
ries, but Of lesser importance, owing to
the standing of the contestants in the
tournament. Buckhout won from De
Camp 100 to 95, and without any note
worthy features.
Two games are on the card for tomor-
row evening. They are between Sibley
and Stauffer and Bean and De Camp.

than he is usually counted good for.
And the University boys and Enterprise
club are on even terms with the
to appreciate the desperateness of the
battles that will he waged this week.
Every game means great deal to these
candidates. The University team has
yet to play the Nushkas, Capitol and
Press. and the Enterprise must still
meet the Nushkas, Bismarck and North
Light fives. The Capitol team is out of
it for first place because they have lost
three games. They still have hope of
possible second place by tieing some
of tile others and then playing off. They
have apparently lost two games through
unaccountable bad luck In the very last
innings. The Bismarcks and North
Lights are bravely battling away, al
though they have lost hope of winning
the trophy. This is commendable in
them and is an exposition of the right
spirit. They are not babies to cry be-
cause they have suffered defeat, but
they. OH the contrary. reSolutely and
manfully continue to play to the very
end. Both of these aggregations have
excellent material for clubs, but they
need strengthening in their weakest
points. This was evidenced in the play
of the Bismarcks Friday evening.
While Kruger is generally good
bowler he has an off night very often,
and the same may be said of Jansen.
They are excellent gentlemen to meet,
however, and contribute to the ameni-
ties Of all the games they contest.
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1892-02-28

throughout the city. The fact is every
body has admirers whose interest has
been excited in the struggle, and hun
dTeds of ladies are daily watching the
results of the contests.
There will he but few games to be
played at the conclusion of this week,
but the teams are SO evenly matched
that it is more than likely that the out
come will still be enveloped in doubt.
1t is apparent now that the Kegels have
shade the best Of it. They will
meet but two more aggregations-the
HumOr and the PresS-and should they
fall before the former there would be
something preternatural in losing to
the Press club, that hasn't vet won a
game. The Nushkas, also, have fallen but
once, 1t should be related, and that was
before the Kegels, and they have yet to
play four games, and two of them are
with powerful teams, namely the Uni
versity and Enterprise. They will lie
played on neutral ground, however,
where the chances will be even and
where the braves will have better OPP
portunlty than they had when they
were vanquished by the KegeIs. Then
come the Bismarcks and North Light
club, and they may prove dangerous
STUN bling blocks in their path to glory.
This possibility was evidenced i'm the
defeat of the Kegels at Schade's park by
the North Lights. But the chances
point to the Nushkas still being among
the leaders with the close of the week.
although they are scheduled for two
games.
The Humors are still in the race with
bright prospects. Should they lay out
the kegels and the Nushkas lose one
more they have chance to tie for first
place. They are mighty bowlers, al
though the team IS crippled by George
benz's illness. Indeed, he was unfit for
Play when the club was defeated by the
Nushkas: The HumOrs were defeated
by only five pins, and to show that the
result might have been reversed had

NEVER IN 1T.
The Press Bowlers Suffer q HUI
initiating Defeat.

Crippled and discouraged from
series of defeats the young men who
are battling for the athletic honor of
the newspaper boys went into the arena
last night. Col. Bobleter, who leads
team by handsome majority when IN
physical condition. Is nursing a lame
arm, while Chantler, one of
the most reliable bowlers in
the aggregation, is incapacitated
by severe cold. In their stead Melady
and Downs. of the Dispatch, stripped to
Their starched goods to render an &C
count for their mooted prowess. But
they fell ingloriously. This, despite
the fact that Melady had, upon one
other occasion, in stepping into the
shoes of the redoubtable Col. Bobleter,
done himself proud by winning the
high score of the team for the evening.
In the fourth inning he rolled three
''poodles," and AnheuserBusch was
served at his expense. His total score
was 50. In the first frame he won the
plaudits of the big crowd that witnessed
the struggle by bowling down the high
score. and again in the sixth he recov-
cred himself. but it was for that inning
only. A. B. Wood and DIR. Gemmel
were the only two in the team who had
control of the spheres. Had all the
others done equally we'll it would have
been tolerably good game.
On the other hand, the busy Enter
prise boys bowled well, and Charley
Schmtz gave a happy exhibition of
ten strikes and spares, and rolled up
202 pins with seeming abandon. AL
Klosterman was the only other Enter
prise lad that made big showing, the
club total is large-S35. 1t was sorry
defeat, but the newspaper boys are
likely to seek sweet revenge later in
the season-when they get a little more
skill under the coaching of Col. Bob
Letter. While he doesn't seem TO be as
effective, Wood rolls as pretty ball as
the leaders in the older and more eX-
perienced aggregations. He had some
distressing breaks and splits last even
ing when ten-Strikes seemed assured,
and it is such hard luck that reduces
the score. The full score of the game
reads:

decadence. Comparatively few cared
for it and there was little playing.
Hatley was placed in charge of Foley's
billiard room and his wonderful execu-
ton soon attracted attention and there
was a revival of interest. The young
men of the city abandoned other and
less healthful advertisements and took
to the cue with renewed zest. They
sought to emulate Hatley's master
stroke, and today it is safe to say
that fully a half hundred votaries
of the game have more than doubled
their speed. Hatley has been offered
more lucrative opportunity In Duluth,
and he will soon go to the Zenith City
to open billiard hall. While st. Paul
billiards will suffer loss, the Duluth
boys may he congratulated, for they
can now enter the tutelage of player
