Immense Expectation.

We should be sorry to be obliged
to compute exactly the number of
bottles of Johann Hofss Malt Ex-
tract which have been sold since
its first appearance in 1S47. A con-
signment of $4,000 bottles is mat
ter of very small significance. This
is usually the number in a single
expectation to foreign countries.
Ii there be one thing more than
another that has been pleasing to
the discoveries of this worldwide
remedy, it Is that Johann Hoffs
Malt Extract is recognized by the
entire faculty of the United States
as bona fide tonic and nutrient
"a compliment accorded to no
other extract. While others have
been weighed in the balance and
found wanting" Johann Hoffs
Extract has stood the test of over
forty years, and is the standard
tonic nutritive of today. Beware
of limitations. The genuine has
the signature of johann Hoff' on
the neck of every bottle. Eisner

ADJUSTMENTS.

Mrs. LEASES LECTURE at Metzerott Music
Hall last night was evidently enjoyed BY the
audience, for the applause was liberal. Her
utterances were in the same strain AZ her gem
eral political speeches, and there were many
bright things said that caused much amuse-
ment. She paid particular attention to the
the Times" and she referred to the labor dis
turbances in Europe and to the unrest that ia
felt in this country. She spoke of the prosress
of woman, and said that there would
soon come the day when the motber.
would have equal representation with
the fathers. Both political parties came
in for a castigation. and the belief was
expressed that in the near future emancipation
from the ills that both republicans and demo-
Gratis haA inflicted upon the people would DO
found in the triumph Of the populists. The
whole lecture was an invective against the
money power or as she termed it, 1.-The divine

A Shot at Pool Tournament Sets Experts
Guessing.

A Shot at Pool Tournament Sets Experts
Guessing.
During the pool tournament held at the Mer-
camille Club, corner of Paca and Fayette streets,
last week. saws the Baltimore American. a shot
was made by Mr. L. Stern, one Of the contest
ants in the first series, the final decision upon
which has not only caused several hundred dol
lars to be wagered, but has caused quite a con-
troversy between expert pool and billiard
players here and in New York. The manner Of
the shot was this: After the balls were broken
Mr. Stern called safety" shot. In the roll he
missed the object ball. The cue ball continued
to the cushion. however, rebounded, struck two
more object balls and again hit cushion. The
rule on scratch" hits is as follows:
"After the opening stroke, each player must
either pocket ball or make at least one object
ball the cue ball; after contact with an OBJ
ject ball. strike a cushion, under penalty of
forfeiture of one ball.
Mr.. Gustavus Goodman, the referee, decided
that Mr.. Stern had made scratch" shot. To
this protest was offered, and Mr.. NJ. Water
man. who was in New York at the time. was de-
cided upon as final referee. who should make
his decision on Saturday night. In the mean
time several hundred dollars were wagered bv
the members on the result of the decision and
some few made it known that they had COM
municated with the Brunswick-Balk- Collender
Company Of New York for an expression OF
opinion. On Saturday night Mr.. Waterman
returned to the city from New York and de-
cided that Mr.. Stern had made fair" shot.
Then paper was produced bearing the official
head and stamp of the Brunswick Balk- Col
lender Company, stating that the shot in ques-
ton was scratch"
Another controversy here arose and more
money wagered. Mr.. Waterman went to New
York on the following Monday, and visited the
Brunswick Balk- Collender Company, and the
members Of the firm denied ever receiving any
communication from Baltimore or sending one
there: and. moreover, above the firms sigma
ture. decided that Mr.. Stern had made fair"
shot. Not satisfied with that, Mr.. Waterman
visited Marcus Days famous billiard parlors
and received the Same opinions from DAILY.
Leonard (the champion pool player Of the
world, SextoD (the billiard expert), and
Humphrey, who wrote the recognized book Of
rules on pool The experts in the city were
divided in opinions as to the shot being fair or
. scratch.

couldn't cover enough ground to make him an
effective player.

The origin of Sfnrchin0.

The course Of history carries us back
no further than the year 1854 for the
origin of s%tarching in London. 1t wal
In that year that Mistress Var der
Plasse ceme with her husband from
Flanders to the English metropolis "for
their greater safety" n there pro-
fessed herself a starcher. The best
housewives Of the time were not long
In discovering the excellent wilderness
OF the Dutch linen" as It was called.
and Mistress Plasse soon had plenty OF
good paying clients. Some of these be-
gan to send her rufus of lawn to starch.
which she did so excellently we'll that
It became a saying that II any one sent
her a ruff made of a spiders web she
would be able to starch II. So greatly
did her reputation grow that fashions
able DANES went to her to learn the
art and mystery of starching. for which
they gladly paid a premium OF four or
five pounds, and for the secret of seething
starch they paid gladly a further sum of
twenty shillings.
