Barber Russell. COlorcd, OF Spruce Street,
Was Betrayed by their Fiashincss.
Fashion plate magazines do not con-
tain pictures that represent truer cor
rectness in the representations of ele-
gancy OF style than the living picture
that adorns the promenade when on
Sunday afternoons Barber ]. b. Percy
Russell, of Spruce street, goes out for
stroll. Mr.. Russell is gentleman
OF color and shines in colored society
circles.
One evening not long ago, after his
lather and shave exercise Of the day
was over, Mr.. Russell hied himself to
social event which was attended by
the cream de la creme Of the colored 400
and he was dressed to the top loftiness
OF grandeur. When the time arrived for
home going, 1t CHANGED that Mrs. Frank
Thomas. wife of coachman, residing
in the rear of 339 Adams avenue, was
unattended by the customary escort,
and with heart beating in lusty throbs
Of gallantry he vouchsafed his atten-
ton to the lady to see her safely home
and was with many thanks accepted.
Hanging Over the Gate.
Eventually the gate was reached and
Mrs. Thomas was about to enter her
home, but she turned, and Percy tar
ried to hear from her the expression
of thanks that invariably attends and
precedes the parting au revior. Mrs.
Thomas is fair to look upon and Percy
was loathe to tear his gaze away. While
thus communing at the gate the still
ness of the night was broken by the
noise of an opening window In the up
stairs of the Thomas household and in
sepulchral tones broke out on the NOON
light the query:
"Who da'r?"
Mrs. Thomas hurried into the house
| and the barber sped on. But the hus-
band, whose belated wife worried him,
| recognized in her male escort the col
| ored Spruce street barber. and some
time afterward he made violent threats,
which caused Mr.. Russell to appear be-
| fore Alderman Fitzslmmons Wednes-
| day and swear out a warrant for Coach
man Thomas arrest.
A hearing took place in the afternoon
and the alderman wanted to know how
Thomas recognized the barber. He was
informed that Russell had on a top
coat Of spring style, garnitured with
pearl bottoms as large as saucers, each
one coruscating like the glints of
brightness from a fixed star, and in this
way was discovered. AS Coachman
| Thomas had threatened to viscerate the
barber with razor the alderman was
bound to require him to provide bonds
guaranteeing to keep the peace.
The barber tried to prove that he was
in Pttston on the night in question but
the coachman smashed the alibi to
smithereens. Mrs. Thomas was one OF
the principals recently concerned in the
horsewhipping episode at colored
church festival.

BASE BALL TIPS.

Next Wednesday the championshipship
season opens.
Lack OF team work Is the greatest fault
noticeable In the Philles Just at present.
The Phillies were divided into two teams
yesterday and played at Reading and
Pottsville.
George Munson says the pennant race
will be between Boston. New York and
Philadelphia.
When Rusie reported at New York he
weighed 236 pounds. He has reduced him
self to about 200.
Umpire Belts gives this ruling on the
foul tip biz: 'The question is. Can base
runner steal a base, or can any play be
made when foul tip, which is the third
strike of the batsman, is caught? Mr.
Belts says that no play can be made and
any base runner who advances a base
must return to the base he occupied before
the tip was caught. In returning, how
ever. the base runner cannot be put out.
The same conditions govern when foul
tip is caught, as in the case Of regular
batted foul ball"

because in the games against George

knocked out of the box, Trudean went

on balls and keeping the Yale hits
well scattered. Trudean was batted
for eighteen hits, with a total Of thirty
three bases. There were four home
runs by Georgetown men, Murphy,

errors at critical times and being una
