Springfield :, wiIIsesbarre z.

Umpire Connolly was loudly Kissed
when he called the game yesterday at
Springfield at the end Of the 10Th inning.
The cause he assigned was darkness,
though it was only few minutes after 8
O'Clock, and there was plently of light.
1t was planned to play off two games,
but not even one was finished. The game
is the record of the season for length. Il.
was well played on both sides, but Spring
field was getting the advantage at the
close, and would probably have won in
another inning, AS Warner was disabled.

A Race of Giant Cannibals.

Unlikely as it may seem to some who
read these lines, it is a fact neverthe-
less that there is an island in the gulf
of California, not more than go miles
from the Mexican mainland, which is
inhabited by the remnants of race of
giant cannibals. This startling discov-
cry was made by IA west coast natural
list early in 1891 and has since been
confirmed by both United States and
Mexican explorers. Mr.. Mcnamara,
the scientist referred to, has photo
graph of one of the men found by him
on the island, that individual, although
not one of the largest, being over Z feet
in height. The island upon which they
were found is known as the island or
isle of Leri, and the original discoverer
says that there is every evidence of can
nibalism among them. Louis Re-

Hstsy Patterson Bonaparte.

Nine. Betsy Patterson Bonaparte, the
sister law of AN emperor, was born In
Baltimore, and after living many years
abroad returned to her native land,
where she passed the last years OF her
life.
One of the old lady's crack stories in
her latter days was of lesson in ETH
ouette given her by the black butler of
her host. At breakfast she motioned
to him and handed him her cup, wish
ing IA second cup of tea. Uncle Bob,
instead of taking the cup to his mistress
ut the head of the table, put it down
with great flourish ON the sideboard.
But wanted another cup of tea, y
said Nine. Bonaparte.
Did YOU. num- blandly asked I'm
Gle Bob. "You see, mum, you put your
spoon in de saucer. an that means you
doan' want no mo- tea. When you
wants some mo tea. de erect way is
to put de spoon in de cup-like dis
heah, " and Uncle Bob gravely illustrat-
ed the erect method of procedure.
The family were ON thorns. expecting
an outbreak from the sister-in-law OF
an emperor. although there is no doubt
that "A black butler i'll his own baili-
wick could face an emperor himself,
but Betsy was only amused and laughed
heartily.

money saving, she realized in the lat

and explained grimly, "Once l had

Five Cent Lodging Houses where Chairs
Take the Place of Beds.

Take the Place OF btu-.
Finding lodging place for the night
when one has but 5 cents-an ordinary
street car fare nickel-is no easy job.
Lodging houses where the beds rent for
10 cents hold as grimly to tariff prices
as coal combine III arctic weather
would do. 1t is a case of fiat money
with those people. If they had 500 beds
and but five dodgers, the sixth could not
get an abatement, even though his flesh
were droppisg from his bones with
frost. NO pay, no bed, is the motto,
and they stick to it.
Nowadays dimes are being with
drawn from circulation. AT least the
people who are forced into begging
them report that to be the state of the
money market. Two nickles make a
dime, it is true, and so do 10 pennies,
but there seems to be bear movement
in small coins, and this form of cur
rencv also is hard to get, especially sc
for those who either cant, don't OF
won't work for it.
As q matter of fact there are many
hundred persons in Chicago every night
who cannot purchase a lodging for lack
of means and who stay out so late that
access to the station houses is denied
because they are already overcrowded.
These people will then sleep anywhere.
All they want is cover from the night.
That can be had i'll Chicago for 5
cents. But the lowest tramp, if for
tune favored him with dime, would
shrink with horror from lodging in
such place There are one or two
places of the kind in Chicago, and they
are hard to find. When found, they are
the very apotheosis of degradation, dirt
and dinginess. Beside the cent places
those where admittance is dime are
palaces. For 5 cents the ledger is al
lowed the privilege of a chair until
morning simply that and nothing
more.
The keepers of such places form the
lowest elements of society. They do
not treat their patrons as humans, nor
yet as beasts of the field. The cent
wretch becomes an object for blows and
kicks. When his nickel enters the greasy
atom of squalor, and he is treated ac-
cordingly.
Recently the Atlas hotel was visited.
1t is probably the worst lodging house
In Chicago. The prices begin at s cents
and run to ) cents. 1t is located on
Custom House place few yards from
Van Buren, street. On one side of it is
a stable. There the horses get clean
straw every night for bedding. On the
other side is deserted church, which
has been purchased and which will be
shortly converted into another lodging
house. Amid such surroundings the
poor fellow who has but a nickel is al
lowed to stay over night. He can sit on
a three legged chair, or he can lie down
on the floor. In either event he is forced
to sleep with another man half cover
ing him, fer every night the filthy cell
lar is crowded. Chicago Inter Ocean.

NEW BEDFORD Mass, Jan 16.-The
charges upon which Mayor Brownell pro-
poses to remove Chief of Police Douglass
were filed by the mayor yesterday, and
are much stronger than was anticipated
by Chief Douglass and his friends. In
substance they are as follows: THAT re-
peated complaints against certain places
where liquor was illegally sold were dis
regarded by the chief; that pool selling
was permitted, and that in general the
chief tried to do too much himself and
conhded too little in his officers, with
results disastrous to the police depart
ment; that orders from the police depart
ment of Boston regarding the arrest of n
criminal who was found in New Bedford
by Boston officer were ignored so far as
notifying the inspectors of police; further,
the charges state that he canvassed for
signatures to petition for his retention
for Office under the new mayor, and that
the department books have not been prop
erly kept by him. Chief Douglass has re-
tanned counsel and proposes to make n
