How n 'Private Conversation" Was
Caught BY StenOsrnpher.
Chicago, Sept. 29.-That "even the walls
have ears has been proven more than
once.
But the force of the saying is given ad-
ditional strength in the bill filed last
night in the superior court against an
attorney named Buell. by John Steinhoff,
a wealthy property owner on Claybourne
avenue.
Prior to Aug. l. 1890. the street railroad
company began changing it's horse car
lines on Claybourne avenue into a cable
road. The street was INSTRUCTED and the
property owners formed an association
to fight the company.
Mr.. Steinhon was one of the committee
appointed to secure an injunction against
the company. Buell., the bill says, was
appointed attorney for the property own
erS and was paid retainer of $3.50.
Time passed and no injunction was forth
coming. Mr.. Steinhoff, the bill says, was
charged with selling the association out.
To defend himself Mr. Steinhoff began
an investigation of Buells actions.
He called on Mr.. Yerkes, and the street

plant, took from desk a document Ia

most every case the eyes of the neo-
phyte at bowling are upon the pins at
the time of delivering the ball; nor
should the mistake be made of using
the big balls until first able to roll the
smaller ones with accuracy.
Th,rc are few technical terms
which it is worth while to store in
mind against the time of need, i. e.,
when someone exclaims, for instance,
"OhI that's lofted BALL"
A lofted ball is one which upon leav-
ing the players hands bounces one or
more times on the alley on its way to
the pins.
Poodle is when ball rolls into the
gutter before striking a pin.
Cutters, the two troughs on each
side of the alley, into which the balls
roll when leaving the alley from the
sides.
Runway, the raised slides on each
side of the cutters. over which the
balls are returned to the players.
Pin pit, the space back of the alley
into which the pins roll when knocked
over.
Pin boy, the youth who resets the
pins and returns the balls to the play
ers.
Dead wood, pins which have been
bowled down and remain either on the
alley or in the pin pit.
WHAT TO WEAR.
Finally, but not of least Importance
and interest, is the bowling gown. 1t
should consist of loose fitting skirt,
just clearing the ground, a blouse
waist and tennis shoes, usually rubber
soled to prevent slipping on the highly
polished floor The shirt waist or silk
blouse predominates in the attire of
the ladies who play at the Knicker-
booker club. Miss Julia Grant, daugh-
ter of Colonel Fred Grant, always
wears a light silk bodice, sometimes
one in lettuce green trimmed with bre-
telles of black lace. with a black silk
skirt and a coquettish little hat, the
most conspicuous feature of which is
a pink rose. Miss Elsie Clews' bowling
gowns are always pretty and becom-
ing-a crepon gown in pale blue being
one of the most fetching in appear
ance and style. Miss Helen De Pey-
ster favors simple attire with a de-
cided preference for silk blouses and
plain, shortish skirts.

LILLIAN NORDICA SUCCEEDED.
A Successful Business Woman and n

The distinction of being the Oldest
living actress and of having been in her
day one of the ablest of leading la
dies belongs to Mrs. Rachel Cantor.
Mrs. Cantor is passing the declining
years of her life in well-earned freedom
from all material anxiety in the For
rest Home in Philadelphia. Her saith
birthday is at hand, but she is 81 years
young rather than old and has recently
been on her long annual summer visit
to relatives and friends in and about
Boston, making the journey quite I'M
attended. She is an old time and warm
friend of many of the veterans of the
stage, as we'll as the beloved patron
saint of some of the younger school.
During her eastern visit she was the
guest among others of Mr.. Joseph JEFF
ferson at his Buzzards Bay home, and
was charmingly received one day of her
stay there by Mrs. Cleveland at Gray
Gables. Mrs. Cantor, who by the way
is an aunt of Senator Cantor of New
York, was a strikingly beautiful woman
in her youth. and to-day she looks
younger than many women of 60. Her
hair is white, but it curls softly about
her face. Her large, dark eyes retain
much of their earlier brilliancy, her fig
ure has lost little of it's well-rounded
contour and she carries herself with all
her graceful dignity and grace.

THE SOCIAL SIDE.
It is usual to appoint committee of

cup of fragrant bohea must not be

HOW TO BOWL.
If not thoroughly conversant with
the game of bowls it will be necessary
to buy one of the books on the sub
ject; this will demand the outlay of
only a silver dime
Ten innings constitute a game. Each
player bowls three balls in an inning,
and thus thirty balls in game. He
bowls his three balls in succession, and
scores by the number of pins he
knocks down altogether. The balls
used at present have finger holes in
them, which makes them easier to
handle.
If he knocks down all the pins with
the first ball he makes a strike. If all
the pins go down under the first two
balls the player has made a spare,
and if the three balls ire used he
counts just so many as bowled down.
a beginner must remember not to
look at the pins when bowling, but to
keep his eyes fixed on the alley. In al

COST OF THE ENTERPRISE

COST OF The ENIERfR1SE.
The most practical plan would be to
rent a room large enough for the reg
,ulation bowling alley, which is sixty
feet long and three and one-half feet
wide. In order to have number en-
gagged in the game at once, a second, or
even a third alley, must be constructed.
This, however, will not greatly add to
the cost, which for the alley itself
would be something in the neighbor-
hood of $50 or SIS.
A set of tenpirs costs 81 The balls,
which are made of lignum-vitae, cost
different prices, according to the size.
The regulation ball, of 27-inch circum-
ference, costs S4-from four to six balls
are required. A blackboard, on which
to record the scores, will take another
81 while a dollar or two can easily be
