"Did you ever play the fascinating

the biggest fellows are detailed to test
the jugs. They take each one in turn
by his arms, lift him up in the air as high
as their shoulders and then drop him

he wins. If his hands break and are
torn apart he is adjudged- rotten, and

The Grand y,uier,s Little Joke,

The shah of Persia, probably for lit
tie diversion, some time since ordered
his grand vizier to make list of all the
blockheads that held public Office in
Persia. The vizier did as commanded
and headed the list, which was long
one, with the name of the shah. That
worthy potentate was in an excellent
humor and did not become angry at the
yizier's audacity, but asked why his
highest minister considered him block
head.
"Your majesty" replied the vizier, 81
have put you on the list because two
days ago you intrusted large sum Of
money to some doubtful individuals to
buy horses in other countries. The horse
dealers will never return"
"But what if they do RETURN" asked

name Of your majesty and substitute for
1t the names of the stupid horse dealers"

Electricity In Medicine.

DIR. Newman Lawrence, in writing
concerning the many ways in which dis
repute is brought on the application of
electricity in medicine, points out that a
considerable number of medical men
who use electricity in treatment simply
order nurse or assistant to make the
application, taking little or no trouble
to ascertain how far such nurse or as
sistant is competent, and giving only the
vaguest instructions. This, however,
does not alter the fact that there is a
section of the profession happily it
is increasing-that can be relied on for
careful, conscientious and intelligent
application of the most wonderful Of
modern curative agents.-Pittsburg Dis

Some Interesting Political Figures.


The two states in which the colored
voters absolutely predominant in num-
bers are South Carolina and Mississippi.
In South Carolina there are 102, 600
white voters and 1Se, 900 colored voters.
In Mississippi there are 10000 white
voters and 100000 colored voters-a
colored majority of 10000 in each state.
Louisiana has more white than colored
voters, but it has, on the other hand,
more colored voters native born than
white voters native born. These are the
figures: Colored voters, 10000; white
voters (native born), 100000; foreign
born white voters, $4,000. The latter
hold the balance of power, numerically,
and this is the only state in the Union
where this condition of things prevail.

In this position the body and all the

of gravity still further exaggerates this
result. Thus the muscles of the neck

IN FLOODED ARKANSAS.

Over Fifteen Hundred People Rescued
by One Steamer.
LITTLE Rock, May 22.-According to
reports received here from Red Bluff
the steamer Annie Adams, which has
been in the flooded district for the last
three days, rescued 1880 persons from
the waters. Boatloads Of provisions are
to be shipped from here tomorrow for
distribution among the sufferers. The
river is slowly falling.
TExARKANA, Ark, May 21.-All traffic
over the Iron Mountain road is indefin-
itely cut off. Several miles of railroad
track have been washed away. At Ho-
man there are several feet of water; in
fact, the whole Red river bottom is q
veritable sea. There is water from hill
to hill kfor distance of about twenty
miles. Parties in from the bottoms re-
port that the water is rising at the rate
of an inch per hour. All crop pros
poets are hopelessly drowned.
The Anna B. Adams reports that not
single farm on the river between here
and Little Rock has sufficiently dry
ground on which to place the stock.
Thousands upon thousands OF cultivated
fields are entirely submerged. The
steamer Cleveland arrived from the
upper river and confirms the report.
She picked up several hundred people
and put them off on high land. They
are in wretched condition, having lost
everything, and there is no work in
sight.
Late this afternoon a telegram was re-
ceived from Wabbazcia, twenty miles
below, saying the place was fully three
feet under water and asking boats to be
sent to the relief of the people. Efforts
are being made to help them.

VILE UMPIRING.


McDermott Betrays Execrab1e Judgment
at a Critical Time.
There were several out of the ordinary
events at the ball game yesterday which
require some comment. The writer has
always been conservative on all sporting
topics. 1t does not pay to 60 off at half
cock. That is one of the reasons why
very little has been said about the
umpiring of McDe-mott. The writer
was determined to give the umpire a
fair show. 1t is not just to judge man
umpired several satisfactory games, and
also several that were quite the reverse.
and yesterday g game capped the climax
McDermott was home umpire; that is
to say, that the home club gets the
benefit of all doubtful decisions; but
he did not line up to that reputation in
this city. The writer has refrained from
severely criticising McDermott until he
had seen fair share of his work, and
not because he was scared to handle
him without gloves, as some jackasses
yesterday made the boast.
McDermott's umpiring virtually lost
the game for Los Angeles yesterday.
He made several rank decisions when
rank decisions counted. If Tredway
was out on the slide to first, in the name
of all the gods at once wasn't Stallings
out at first when the two runs came in
for San Jose?
In the first innings McDermott called
Tredway down from the coaching line.
Tredway had Just struck out, and he
apparently thought that a couple of
strikes. called upon him should haye
been balls, 30 when McCauley went
down to first on balls Tredway shouted
to the umpire, THAT is where should
have been."
The umpire fined Tredway during the
game $25, the last $40 being for going
otter foul ball which the umpire had
ordered to be left alone. Hulen started
after it, but when he heard the um-
pire's warning he stopped; but Tred-
way was hot with the umpire, and he
went after it despite the warming.
The crowd was worked up to high
pitch of excitement and indigna-
tion over the poor rulings of the
umpire, and when Frank Couant
and Mr.. Decker started around
with their bats $65 was subscribed
for Tredway to pay the fine with in
very few moments. One gentleman
threw in So. As Tredway was only
fined $25, he is $40 ahead on the deal.
The Los Angeles baseball patrons yes
terday gave up $65, principally to show
their contempt OF the rulings OF the
umpire, but they certainly established
very bad precedent. A certain
amount of discipline must be observed
on the ball field, but yesterdays work
will have tendency to knock disci-
pline into cooked hat. The spectators
sat down upon the umpire, but they
have put premium on disobeying or
der. McDermott was rank, but after
all the right way is to take ones medi-
cine with true philosophy. Itis to be
hoped that Los Angeles audience will
not again see such unfair umpiring this
season.
