WORLD OF SPORTS.

Wards Giants have been beaten in more games this season in which they have out batted their opponents than any other team.
 Mark Baldwin had the riot act read to him by Captain Ward while the New Xorks were in Cincinnatti. Markic nearly lost his job
 Pitcher Stmtton made u record in the second game against New York at Louis vile. Sept 19 that will not likely be equalled. For a team to make thirteen base hits and yet be shut out, shows that the Kentuckian pitched magnificent ball when meE were on bases, for it is then that nerve and headwork tells.
 It is said that Comiskey refused a Propo- sition to accept Dan Brouthers release from Brooklyn when he was in the East. for he believes that Motz will rank head and shoulders above Big Rand in another year,
 Pitcher Paddock says that he will not in all probability play ball next season. He has a speedy mare that he thinks can bring him in more money than base ball. George Weidman, once famous league pitcher, is in business in Rochester, \. l.. but he pitches little now and then. He says his arm is in as good shape as il ever was.

JUDGE ROOTS HOUR.

Philip snverthau Fined $50 and Cost For
 Selling Goods Without a License.
 The case of Philip Silverthau came up for trial this morning. The accused through his attorney, R. \. Lowe, entered a demurrer which was overruled and fine of $50 and costs imposed. Silverthau Is seller of diamonds and watches and has done business in Waterbury for years for a New Haven house.. He was arrested by Detective Egan for not taking out license. Silverthau determined to fight the case and contest the legality of the statute. His partner in business spoke to Judge Root after the penalty was imposed and tried to have the punishment n mere nominal fine. He had made arrangements with the mayor to take out license conditionally; if he won the case on the legality of the statute the money was to be refunded to him. Judge Root said he doubted the pro priety of the police court modifying a judgment and he would have to treat the accused the same as any other criminal and So the fine must stand. An appeal was taken.
 John Lawlis, for drunkenness, was fined SJ and costs.
 About quarter after l o'clock this morning Officer Mccarthy saw a man emerge from between Dennis Mitchell's buildings, on Bank street, in the Brooklyn district, and standing on the walk look up and down the street. He then turned and went back. The officer. suspecting some thing, followed him. The man entered a amall building in the rear. closing the door sitter him. Officer Mccarthy looked through window and saw the plan break open n | trunk and take from it some tools. He started for the door. where he was met by the officer and placed. under arrest. He gave his name as Adam Luke and said he lived on Green street. To the court he stated that he was drunk and did not know what he was doing. He told such good story that he was let of with fine of S7 and costs.
 Bernard Kelly, youth of 15. was charged with theft and incorrigibility. He stole a pie from the wagon of Peter Hoff- man yesterday. His mother refused to come to court this morning, saying that she wanted him sent away. Judge Root committed him to the reform school. | The case against Louis Ruber, for the theft of $500, was again continued until Monday. It appears that Ruber appropri- ated the funds of an Italian society. Prose cutting Attorney ONeill agreed to let the accused settle with the court for $50 and pay back to the society the whole amount.

F,natlanradaT Man

Down in southwestern Texas, just about midway between Houston in the east and Fl Paso in the west, and very near to the Rio Grande, the Southern Pacific railway has built over the Pecos river the highest bridge in the United States. Just before this bridge was fin ished one of the workmen fell from it and was of course killed.
 The county judge was brought from Langtry. the town nearest to the bridge, to hold ''crowner's quest" The judge arrived with great concourse of people, all anxious to serve on the jury. Fro ceedings were begun by examining the body of the dead man. Upon this were found d loaded revolver and $40 in cash. Perceiving this, the judge said:
 There amt nothing to do about this case, gentlemen of the jury. The mans dead. and it's perfectly plain how he met his death. But what want to know is, what was he doing with that guni That's against the laws of Texas. He ain't here to explain, but because a man takes it into his head to put on wings and mount to the skies is no reason why the great state of Texas should be defrauded Law is law and justice is justice. I fine him $40 for carrying a deadly weapon
 It is needless to say that the fine was paid.-Harpers Magazine.

An Obtuse Englishnlan.

4 MT. Kirbell, who had never been out of England until he went to Vienna, seems to have been a typical Briton and stubbornly insular to the extent of re- fusing to alter the time of his watch as he travelled eastward from England. No argument would induce him to budge and when at Vienna he arose at un- earthly hours and perambulated around the city alone, having persisted in being guided by his watch, stoutly asserting that the foreign clocks were all wrong.
 Kirbell was very anxious also to keep a record of all the places he visited and always jotted down in his pocketbook the names of the various stations he had stopped at or passed. "How curious it is there are somary stations of the same name" he once remarked to a fellow passenger, who replied that he had not observed it. Kirbell then showed his record to prove he was right. and, sure enough, over and over again occurred the word "Ausgang" Exit), which he had confidently entered as the name of many stations passed on the route.-San Francisco Argonaut.

The GalIows Plant,

During the middle ages the botanists, or old ''herbalists," gave currency to many curious stories concerning the growth. form, etc., of mandrake or May apple, which finally resulted in its being given the name of "gallows plant" The pseudo scientists of that time declared that man. drake would grow in no other place ex- cept upon which some terrible crime had been committed. The roots were for merly supposed to bear strong resem- blance to the human form and are fig ured in the old ''Herbals" which lie be- fore me as write, even distinguished as to sex. the female of the plant having long hair; the male. heavy beard.-St. Louis Republic.

The foot" is named from the length of that member in a full grown man. Some say that it was so called from the length of the foot of a certain English king, but it is believed to have been a standard of measurement among the an- cient Egyptians.

Rhode Island.
 The detective who has been chasing Niccolo Sella. the Italian who shot and killed little girl on Canal street last week. have traced their man to Stonington. Sella learned that the detective was after him and hurriedly left the town. It is thought he is in Rhode Island and the search for him will be continued there. Sella was located in Lyme few days ago by fellow who is acting for the police of Waterbury. The alleged murderer learned of his danger and skipped. It was thought he had gone to Old Saybrook, but no trace of him could be found there. Sella arrived in Stonington Wednesday and remained over night. The following day he left. He apparently became alarmed. He has really nothing to fear as the Waterbury police and medical examiner are satisfied that the shooting was accidental. In all probability if he returns he will not be ITO :ccuted but the authorities want to get his version of-the shooting,
