HERR PoLLAK IN CHIcAqo.
astest TaIker in the World Makes
His Debut on Midway Plaisance.
From the Chicago News Record.

From the chicago News RECORD.
Herr Pollak of Europe is here. OF all
the notables of the Old World, Herr Pol
lax is best known across seas. Princes
and potontates may have ecccntricities
which render them conspicuous, but Herr
Pollak is chief of all the freaks Of Europe.
There is not capital of the Old World
where he is not known He is about 81
years old and dresses quietly Yesterday
afternoon he walked in the Old Vienna in
the I'laisance, and as soon as he got in
side the gates he announced in steutOrian
tones; II am Herr Pollak of Europe!"
Immediately an informal meeting of the
officers was held and he was given the
freedom of the village They did not
grant the honor from choice They knew
the man and knew that he would take il
anyway
Herr Pollak's speciality is this: He
has repertoire of %, 600 words, which he
repeats in forty minutes, being ut the rate
of 800 words minute as can be demon
strated. This is all he does, the rest be-
ing orchestra, costumes, lime lights and
business as the actors call it. This
very remarkable man says that he is the
fastest talker in the world, and that the
woman has not yet been born who can
keep up with him for q single dash. When
appearing in public which he occasion
ally does. he wears q costume some
thing like that worn by an assistant to
an Italian organgrinder. It is not for
money that he appears in public. He is
the one European resident at present il
this city who does not want money Clio
ny is his one aim in life. He talks of il
and dreams of it. Fifteen languages are
at his tongne's end, but they do not all
flow so rapidly as the one which he in
fiicts on the public and which he learned
in his native town Of PrOssuiUz, Hungary
The 10000 words he uses are not in any
way connected and give no meaning to
the listener. In giving his performance.
after the band has started up, he advan-
ces 10 the edge of the platform and starts
in At the word Col" he rushes at his
task like a Kansas cyclone at a farm
house His style is something like this:
Rats. mice, cats, beer, beefsteak, saus-
ages, horseradish. pumps, Turks, Chicago,
pigs ham, sugar. vinegar
Then he takes quick breath, and as
the leader of the orchestra Quickeus the
tempo, he goes at it again with:
Monkey, rum, idiot, chestnut, cheese,
dollar, gum, spring chicken (this counts
two Words, street, sweet, write, smile,
chin "
And so on.
He places himself under bonds not to
repeat a word He carries around in his
clothes 10000 forms, which he says he
will give to any stcnographer who will
take down what he says.

ANOTHER STORY OF THE HITCH.
by The Associated Press.

Augusta, Ga, July 5.-Thcre was in
tense interest all day in the baseball stu
alton. Last night the first series of the
Southern league was ended with the Au-
gusta club ahead, having lost only seven
teen games out of siXty-One. Charleston
holds second place, and claims that if she
can win the postponed game with Au-
gusta she will tie for first. President
Hart ordered the game to be played here
to-day and the Charleston CLUB came ac-
companied by several hundred Charles
tOnians.
Augusta claims to have won the Ren-
nant on her merits and decided TO refuse
to play, but a heavy downfall of rain
shortly after noon rendered the grounds
unfit for the game No umpire appeared,
but both clubs were on the grounds.
Spectators, however, were not allowed
admittanCe Charleston will carry the
question before the league directory.
The second series opens up here to-mor-
row, when Augusta and Charleston will
meet again.
NO QUORUM OF DIRECTORS.
Atlanta, Ca, July 5-The meeting of
the Southern League directors called for
to-day to elect a president to succeed
President Hart, whose resignation was
accepted at Augusta last week, did not
pan out for lack of a quorum. Those
present were Bosche of Atlanta, Schnaltz
of Chattanooga, Genslinger of New Or
leans and Stallings of Augusta Sullivan
of Nashville and Armour of Memphis
were in the city during the
morning, but left before the
meeting, leaving no quorum when the
hour for calling to order arrived. Tele-
grams were sent to other cities, and the
meeting will be held tomorrow if quo
rum can be had. G. b. Nicklen will prob
ably be elected president of the league.
An interesting question that will come be-
fore the league, is that of sustaining Presi-
dent Hart in the Observation-Disclosures con
troyersy, which vitality affects the chances
of the two clubs for the pennant.
