A New York Police Magistrate and the
Texas Drunk Due Him.
From the New York Evening World.
A properly sombreroed Texan stood before
Judge Hogan, in the Jefferson Market police
court. yesterday morning. charged with be-
ing drunk. He acknowledged the corn. He
said he thought from the way he felt just
then that he must have been intoxicated the
night before. but he was a police magistrate

Hogan were brought before him down there
on q charge Of being drunk he would GER
that this was an argumentum ad hominum
that was 90 per cent proof, and let the pris-
oner 20.
The justice now owes himself a first-class
bat In Austin. where the Texan bench or
naments or holds court. He has to his cred
1t the freedom Of that town to the extent.
at least, of one full-grown adults dose Of
jag. The Texas Judge has put himself on
record. and when Justice Hogan feels that
he needs a little recreation with tanglefoot
trimmings all he has to do is to pack his
grip and fare forth for Austin, Texas. He
may think after he has tackled Texas whis-
KY that centipedes are making nests in his
hair and tarantulas are biting buttonholes
in the rim of his hat, but he will not have
to pay fine or go to jail.
The Texas Judge traded his courtesies a

He Pounded = Bulldog Until He Co.ld
No Longer Hear HIS Heart Beat.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
'"rhe most novel fight ever witnessed -
remarked Mr.. James Meehan. was between
bulldog and = monkey. down in Cuba A
friend Of mine had q bulldog that had licked
every canine on the island. and he was very
proud Of him. A gentleman from South
America said that he had a monkey that
could whip the bulldog. and the owner of
the latter laughed at the idea. After some
talk q wager Of $500 was made, and the only
advantage that the monkey was to have
was that he was to be allowed the privilege
Of using a baton, about the length Of a po-
liceman's club. but not 30 heavy.
THE fight WAS in q public place. and in a
pit that was surrounded by an iron grating.
There was a big crowd out to see the fight.
chew up the monkey. After a few minutes.
however, the audience was surprised at the
sagacity displayed by the monkey. The bull
dog would make q rush at the monkey. and
bulldog to hit his head against the iron graf
ings. This was kept up for twenty minutes
or more. and then the dog began to get
tired. The monkey began to fight. He
would let the dog make rush and then
jump on the dogs back and strike him sew
eral times with the baton. This was kept
up for an hour or more, and finally the dog
fell on the floor completely exhausted, and
the monkey actually pounded him to death.
The monkey would strike the dog several
blows, and then place his ear to the canine
to see IL he still breathed.
Finally the owner of the dog agreed to
give up the fight. but the monkeys owner
told him that 1t was too late. as the mon-
key would not quit until he had killed the
dog. This was one of the peculiarities OF
the monkey. They always killed their VIC
Tins. The owner Of the dog said he did not
want his dog killed. and insisted on taking
the monkey of. While they were talking
the monkey belted the dog several times
with his baton, placed his ear on the dog.
and with a sudden jump leaped on the
shoulder of his owner and commenced to
use monkey language. The dog was ex-
amined and found to be dead. The people
applauded the victory of the monkey, and
1t looked as IL the monkey understood it,"

Arson to Retain His Old Place, but
Others to BE Replaced.
From the Chicago Herald.
Adrian c. Arson will captain and manage
the Chicago team next year. Since the sea-
son closed St. Louis has turned adrift Man
ager Watkins; O'Rourke has been released
outright by Washington, and genial Harry
Wright has been turned down" by Phila-
delphia. These three teams will certainly
have new managers. Pittsburg, too. may
join the list. Manager Buckenberger does
not seem to be as popular in the smoky city
as he was. There is talk that w. c. Temple
who resigned the presidency to Buckenber-
ger, will again assume the Office. in which
case Buck" is apt to be left out in the cold.
Ward will continue to manage New York
and Selee will remain with Boston. Foutz
is fixture in Brooklyn; Hanlon will hold
down the Orioles, Tebeau will look after
Cleveland. Comiskey will retain charge Of
Cincinnati and Barnie will again pilot Louis
Vile. There are apt to be changes between
now and spring, but eight out Of the
twelve clubs forming the league will no
doubt start under their old managers.
1t seems certain that only six managers,
instead of seven as last season, will act in
the dual roles of captain. Arson. Comiskey,
Ward, Tebeau, Foutz and Hanion certainly
will. and Arthur Irwin, the new Philadel-
phia manager, will coach from the lines

ALL STOOD OVER SIX FEET.
A Giant Kentucky Family, Consssting
Of Parents and Nine Chfldren.


Of Parents and Nine Chfldren.
"As q specimen OF what Kentucky can do
in the way OF producing stalwart sons ana
daughters" said a proud native Of the blue
grass country to q New York Sun man, Il
might mention the old Joe Morrison family
Of Bourbon county. Anybody OF the pres
ent generation who ever lived In Kentucky
will remember old Joe Morrison's family.
The family consisted of Joe and his wife
and six sons and three daughters. Joe
stood six feet four inches IN his stockings
and weighed e1O pounds. His wife was the
same height exactly but she weighed 2es
pounds. The Oldest son. Tom. was also six
feet four. and he weighed 2S6 pounds. Jim
topped his brother Tom two inches in
height. but he wasn't as heavy by seventy
pounds. Their sister Sarah was a slim gil
weighing only l55 pounds. but she could
look over the heads of both Tom ana Jtm
for she stood six feet six and one-half inch
es But John was the big boy OF the family.
he only lacked an inch OF being seven feet
high, and he weighed 300 pounds Sister
Mary was a midget OF six feet two and
only weighed l49 pounds. Elijah wasn't
ve-y tall. either. being the same height a.
his sister Mary. but he was OF pretty fair
heft. tipping the scales at 2l2. Matthew
was six feet two. also. and weighed 22o.
while Eli. standing six feet four, weighed
less than go. The youngest girl. Martha,
was six feet three and 100 pounds in
weight. She would undoubtedly have been
the giant OF the family. for that was her
height and weight at the age OF fourteen a
Few weeks before she died. When these
measurements were taken. a few years ago,
the family were all together. but since then
old Joe and his wife have died and the boys
and girls are married and scattered about
the state. 1 don't know what their progeny
have done to keep up the family reputation
as to size, but IN bet on EN- TO keep up the
record"

The Anchor Nurse,

From the New York Tfmes.
When a billiard player makes q run of
500 points while scarcely moving the balls
at a game that was especially devised to
hinder CLOSE nursing and to compel OPEN
table play, 1t is likely that the end OF that
game is near. The balk line will probably
follow straight billiards." which were
made obsolete by the supreme skill of two
or three performers in rail play and the
champions game" which never attained
any considerable vogue during its brief
existence. The concluding game OF the
last tournament showed that Schaefer had
beaten the game as he had beaten other
games. His defeated opponents assertion
that sockets had been prepared upon the
table In which the balls rested would be
more plausible IL some evidence in support
Of 1t had been adduced. II the smoothness
and equality Of the table bed had not been
verified by the precautions taken before
the game. It would have been easy and
simple to verify them sfterward There
are instruments Of precision more accurate
than the disgust Of defeated billiard
player. and by means OF these instruments
II could have been shown whether the balls
had in fact been anchored in sockets
artifcially made to receive them. This
verifcation having been omitted, IL seems
that the charges which 1t has neglected TO
verify may be dismissed.
The anchor nurse Is even more tiresome
to look at than the rail-" in which the
balls DO move and, wonderful as are the
judgment Of force and the literal tact"
which 1t requires. a display Of IT In not
likely to attract the public. Cushion car
oms Is the most probable substitute for st.
This is game that has not yet been beat
en-. 1t has the advantage that the highest
run made at IT. now twelve years ago, was
but a. and that the highest recorded aver
age is 10. 1t has the further advantage
that several players who would have no
oh xvif nd
the balk- game or at straight billiards,
could compete with them on even terms at
cushion caroms. The game cannot be play
ed. at least II never has been played. with
out calling for pretty steady succession
of brilliant and interesting shots, while Il
also gives ample scope for position play OF
q different kind from that ordinarily re-
quired, and even. In moderation, for nurs-
ing 1t is very likely. therefore, to be
adopted for tournaments II not for
matches by the leading players.

ROMANCE OF COL. FREY.


Once q Poor WOOdchOpper, Now PPesf.
dent of Switzerland.
The following dispatch comes from Mid
dletown, Ohio:
John A. Gratwold is q humble farmer,
residing in Wayne township. but a few
miles west Of this city. A number of years
ago. before the war, a stranger in desti-
tute circumstances applied at his fathers
home, In the same neighborhood. for food
and lodging, offering to do anything in
return for assistance. He gave his name
as Frey, and stated that he had been exiled
from Germany for a political offense. He
was taken into the family, and in a few
weeks sent with John, the son spoken OF
initially, to the adjacent forests. where for
whole winter they lived in a hut and
chopped the wood, then SO abundant in
this part of the country. sleeping on the
floor of their rude dwelling and cooking
their own meals.
Frey was a jovial good-natured, COM
panionable sort of fellow, and he and
young Gratwold became very intimate.
Frey told his past history. claiming to
come of wealthy Swiss parents. and to
have been a student in Germany, where
his political affiliations caused his Danish

spent two years with the Gratwolds. he
left for Illinois, where he engaged as a
farm hand.
In 1861 he enlisted in an Illinois regiment
and served against the south. His mill
tary career was quite brilliant, and he
was promoted to the dignity of major OF
United States volunteers. He was captured
at Gettysburg, and confined in Libby
prison. where, after few months of the
agony attendant on this imprisonment, he
was condemned to death, as retaliation
of the sentence which the Union powers
had pronounced upon Capt Gordon, a con-
federate prisoner. Capt. w. Y. Stewart.
another confederate officer was held as
hostage for the threatened execution
of Frey, and neither sentence was ever
carried out

years became prominent in politics. In

became a matter of universal comment

offices, and at the last election. as already
related in The Star. was chosen as presi-
