denly he plays several remarkable games Of
ball, and then something like 20,000,0O0
people, more or less, begin to speak his
name in tones of admiration, while his re-
fusal to accept pitiful pittance of $1,000
year for his services is the subject of col

years, and the star sets-settles, l should

oblivion, and he is forgotten by the mil
lions who so short time before called him
mighty.
This homily is pardonable, perhaps, when
/ am forced to announce the sequestration
of King Kelly, recently known as the S1O,-
600 beauty. Twenty years ago Mike was
an unknown barefoot at Paterson, n. j.
There he began to play baseball on the cor
ner lots. He showed skill. Barnie took
him out to Columbus, o., where he began
to play semiprofessionally. In 1879 Kelly
made his professional hit as a member Of
the Cincinnatis. In 1880 he went to Chica-
go, and there he shared laurels, bouquets
and homage with Arson. A few years
later came the celebrated 10000 transac-
ton, in which the Bostons purchased his
release Last year the Bostons LOANED"
him to New York, bless their kind hearts
Last fall the New Works returned him to
the Bostons with thanks and without re
grets This spring the Bostons turned him
out on the Commons, SO to speak. Very
recently he signed contract to manage a
team at Allentown, Pa.

"Seven Ages'
Then there is Danny Richardson. Five
years ago he was New Yorks pet. All
New York worshiped at his temple of fame.
An offer of $4,000 for his release would
have been considered an insult by the New
YQrks.
That was five years ago. Now let me tell
you that not five weeks ago the New York
club refused to give him place ON their
nine. The Brooklyns, who had him, didn't
want him, and he goes to Louisville, where
no doubt small favors are thankfully re.
ceived, and where they desire shortstop as
earnestly as a woman of uncertain age is
popularity supposed to desire a husband.

Tim Keefe thinks he can still pitch good
ball"
Shades of the fallen, think of it! Tim
keefe, the majestic pitcher, who several
years ago created more commotion when
he walked down Broadway than the Rajah
of Kickatmetoo, forced to think, and think
alone, that he can still pitch! These base
ball peoples! You know Burns refers to
them when he says:
But pleasures are Ike poppes spread
You seize the flower, the bloom is shed.

from an aggravated attack of iusomria for
couple of weeks recently while Chief
Engineer Snagg of the fire department was
ENJOYING an unsolicited vacation have, We
trust, entirely recovered and won back the
lost sleep so ruthlessly taken from them
by fate, through the instrumentality of
May or Kilduf and the democratic mem
beers of the board of fire commissioners.
II they have regained their normal condi-
ton the Democrat believes that it Is time
to reopen the question that the reelection
of Chief Snngg temporarily crowded to the
rear. Steps should be taken to reorganize
the fire department. or at least to place in
training men who in an emergency, could
assume command without being handi-
ctrred by the lack of public confidence.
The calamity bowling at the action Of the
commissioners in laying off Chief Snagg,
while largely INDUCED in for effect, never
thelesS was n warning that should be
needed. The safety of the city from fire
must not depend upon the presence of one
MN. Provision should be made so that
IN the event of sickness or accident to
Chief Snagg the the slumbers of the people
shall be not disturbed by dire fears.
We always believed and do now that there
are men in the department fully as
capable as the worthy chief. There are
many. however, Who are not of our way of
thinking in this matter, who, in fact,
claim that no other man in the city is
capable of taking charge of the fire depart
ment. If this be so there is work for the
fire commissioners to do.

But nobody has heard of an application

Especial Correspondence
NEW YORK, March 20.-Mr. James, G.
Blaine was sitting in my studio one day in
the autumn of 1884, waiting to have his
picture taken. 1t was the very day-in fact,
it was the very hour following that in
which was let slip those famous and fatal
words-rum, Romanism and rebellion. My
representative, who had been waiting for
him at the Fifth Avenue hotel, brought the
great statesman to the studio in a carriage,
and while waiting for me to adjust my
camera he reeled off a story or two with his
keen sense of humor and with unusual
light heartedness, all unaware that at the
same time Arch bishop Corrigan was being
informed of Burchard's silly speech made
that day and while a circular was being pre-
pared which lost Mr. Blaine the election.
Are you ready to take my picturef' he
said when he had finished his story. 1T is
taken" replied. l had caught him just
at the right moment, when he was reaching
the climax of the story, and this photo
graph is quite the best have ever taken of
him.
Caught on the Fly.
A snap shot picture indeed is very often
better than one taken with considerable
study. When l say snap shot, mean, OF
course, simply an instantaneous picture
taken in the studio, and mean the taking
a mans photograph when he doesn't know
it. A photographer who risks a snap shot
should already have studied his subject,
should be familiar with his habits and sur
roundings and should know the one posi-
tion in which his man appears at the best.
The moment a man is told to look nat
ural, please" that very moment the poor
man will look perfectly miserable. He
feels that he is posing. He is self con-
scious, an element always sure to affect a
photograph the wrong way. Strange as it
may seem, this is the very reason that Dr.
Depew has never had a picture taken that
does him justice. He never looks natural
If he could be caught unaware some time,
during political speech or in a merry mo-
ment when he is reaching the point of an
after dinner story, Depew could then see
himself in photograph as he really is.
1t is evident, therefore, that some men can
be photographed to look naturally only by
means of snap shot. But the shot must
be made by a sharpshooter. The game can
