CAT HUNTS a NEW FAD.
Cruel New York Dudes and Terrier Dogs
ON Nocturnal Expeditions.

New Fork Dudes and Terrier Dogs
ON Nocturnal Expeditions.
ssThe gilt-edge youths OF Gotham
have adopted a new means of noctur-
nal amusement that is as brutal as
they think it delightful, said q New
York broker to q writer for the Wash
ington Star. "The latest fad is cat
hunting. You are familiar. of course,
with the crusade against cats which
the ONE Of New York started some
time ago from humanitarian motives.
They regarded every cat that provided
around the city as beng homeless, and,
therefore, tired of life, SO they went
around catching them and putting
them to death by means of nae
thetics. The young bloods have fol-
lowed their example, but in a differ
ent manner. Homeless felines are their
objects for humiliation also, but they
use bull terriers and fox terriers in
stead of chloroform. You can imagine
what a fight there is when a vicious
dog of either of the species named
tackles a cat who recognizes that it
must battle for it's life. The young
men who pursue this brutal pastime
make regular engagements with each
other for a cat hunt, and really dress
for it. They wear old clothes and
rubber-soled tennis shoes, SO that they
may keep up with their dogs aed not
attract policemen with their noise in
running. I heard two well-known
young men at the Brunswick N night
recently gloating yer their expert
ences Of the night before and describ-
ing to IN interested group the great
fight that occurred when their dogs at
tackled q a on the steps leading into
a residence, and the cute way in which
they escaped from the police, who
were attracted by the noise of the
battle. l know all this is utterly de-
PRAYED and shocking, but it is true,
nevertheless"

"Fin out fer yo'self, F." nanny said
majestically, flinging wide the doors of
a tall secretary, black with age. "Yo'

''No, this will do" Dare said, run

looked after her anxiously, shook her
head and went on laying the table for
two stopping now and again to give
groaning sigh and mutter something
that sounded like rack an ruin. ,"
IF her eyes could have pierced walls,
she would have been even more rueful.
In the parlor across the hall young Hay
wood lay at length upon the old fashion
ed sofa, his drawn, set face alone pro-
claiming what he suffered Dare nelt

''Try to-" said Dare. "It is the best

it until it skunk out of sight under the
house.
Before he turned away his eyes o soft
cracked laugh at his elbow made him
start. Jincey had flung wide the door
and stood peering at him from under ner
hand and saying:
"Marse Frank, won'tyo' nebber learn
ter kick dogs in time?
The covert significance of the query
was lost upon her visitor. or if he needed
it, he gave no sign Stepping within, he
fixed firm regard upon the old woman
and said very low:
"Jincey, do you know why I have
come here? / Iconfess that cannot say"
Again Jincey laughed. This time
there was hint of triumph in it. A
sudden flame on the hearth lit up the
low, grimy interior, the gun upon the
wall, the swinging rack heaped with
skins and garments, the big plump bed,
with its white pillows and ''rising sun"
coverlid, the hide bottomed chairs, the
row of chests against the wall, the table
at one side spread with an untouched
breakfast, Jincey herself, with her thatch
of snow white wool, her keen, down lid
ded eyes, her small fingered, skinny
hands.
She held both before her, as in depre-
cation, and said slowly, as if in deep
meditation: maybe it's because I'm
most dead. You couldn't be let wait
any longer"
There was so little Of African accent
or idiom in her speech as to proclaim
that she had been in her youth more
with white people than with the black.
There was, too, curious similarity Of
intonation to the voice Of her visitor. A
quick ear would easily perceive that
their speech had been nodded after much
the same model Major Overton shiver-
ed slightly as she spoke and said, drop
ping into the nearest chair, Mothers
been dead more than 80 years, Jincey,
but you've got her accent as pat as the
day she died. "
II don't change-in some things, "
the black woman said, moving toward
the fire and steadying herself against one
of the huge rock jambs. Major Overton
got up and stood facing her, eying her
keenly as she slowly fingered the rosary
of keys at her girdle.
Upon one of them--a small dull bit of
brass-her hand paused with slow, SEN
sitive clutch, then moved defantly on to
the copper, the steel, the iron, that made
up the tale. But not one of them was so

though it was strangely familiar to
Major Overton's eye. He held out his
hand for it, saying carelessly, LET me
see that, Jincey, that brass key there. 5"
Without q word she laid it in his
palm. He saw the duplicate of the key
which had locked in his fathers deeds
in that faraway night, so sorrowfully
well remembered.
"What does this unlock?' he asked,
his eyes tull ON the old, old face. JIncey
answered, as though dreaming.

BASE BALL BY PROXY.

There is erected on the stage in the
Madison Square Garden in New York
an immense screen on which was paint
ed, in perspective, base ball field. The
game over which a powwow was being
held, was between the New York and
St. Louis teams, and Was being played
in st. Louis. In front Of this screen sat
a telegraph operator, and beside him, on
table was lot Of keys. He had his
ear to the wire as you might say, and as
fast as move was made in st. Louis il
was telegraphed to this operator who in
turn indicated it on the screen. At the
bases and different points In the field
there are holes cut in the screen and
behind each OF these holes is an endless
band which is hung on a roller exactly
like roller towel, These have painted
on them, faces, figures and flies" By
pressing the proper key and holding it
Just long enough the operator causes
these roller towels to revolve electrically
until the proper figure shows opposite
the various openings. At one side is
large chart telling the names Of the
players and also giving to each num-
Der. About the field are small figures
Of men standing on balls. The color OF
these balls, which is changed with each
inning, and would be either red or
white, indicating which team was in the
field. At the home base apperas a
number indicating the player who is at
the bat in st. Louis; at another opening
figures appear showing the number OF
strikes" and balls" called by the
umpire. II the batsman hits the ball
and it is caught, large fly appears at
an opening in which ever field it is
caught, whether right, left or centre. IL
the batsman gets to first base either
through having made ''safe hit" or
through the pitchers errors, a players
face appears at the opening at that base
and SO on around. When a run is
scored peculiar gong strikes and
larger figure appears to the credit Of the
batting nine. What would answer to
the "bleachers" in an out door game was
the gallery, and it was well filed with
a most interesting throng. All the re-

Ebright has had a hard time with
several Of his Indians. O'Bryan has
been full since he reached here last
Thursday. Ebright did not see him
until Saturday night. Then he had to
get out search warrant. Buck says
O'Bryan will last just long enough for
him to get new man.
The Lincoln players are about as man
ly lot of players as are to be found on
the diamond. They never wrangle and
they are gentlemanly and fair. Quincy
would like to import the whole outfit
20 our own fair town.
Papers in the eastern circuit say
O'Brien is hitting the hall all right but
that his fielding is very much bum. and
seem to think he is the cause OF some Of
Lincoln's defeats. They also credit
Buck with saying that Willie will get
the run soon.

THE NATIONAL GAME.
LINCOLN ABROAD

AT Quincy-Owing to some horse races
no games were played Friday and Sat
urday and three games had to be played
Suntay. Five thousand people saw the
Bucks walk off with two of the contests.
The morning game was pretty ono
and came our way by score Of to 2.
Barnes and McGreevy did the twirling,
and the latter's support lost him the
game. From the tabulated score he
outpitched Barnes, the Bucks securing
only hits off him, but the errors of his
support did the business. The Ebright's
played an errorless game.
The first game in the afternoon was
lost to the Quiucy's by reason OF better
hitting, kimmerer being hit for IL safe
ones. while Hill, Quincy's new pitcher
from the Southern league, allowed the
Bucks but 4. Lincoln played a better
fielding game but couldn't place her
hits safe. Score to l.
In the second afternoon game Ernie
Gragg pitched winning ball, ard, as in
the other two games the support was
all right. Ebright slammed ont home
run with two men on bases, and Sullivan
properly poked out a three sacker,
bringing in three more. The Bucks got
six hits off McDougal. Score to /.
At Rockford-The Lincoln men were
in no shapo to play Monday, after the
hard work of the day before and night
ride from Quincy to Rockford, and
with the aid of the umpire Nicol's men
took the first game Ct the series. Lin
coin put up stiff game and might have
won with a fair umpire. Score Z to 4.
A bunch of errors by the Bucks and
some hard hitting by Rockford was the
cause of another defeat for Lincoln.
Kimmer was hit rather freely and with
three big, juicy errors in the eighth in
ming Rockford knocked out runs and
won out by ID to IL.
The last game of the series ended in a
ten inning tie, and pretty ball playing
by both teams. They each secured 8
hits and 4 runs, while Lincoln is
charged with 4 errors. Hill and Van
Buren, put up brilliant game.
