An old Brooklyn Player Brought About
 a Revolution Tn Baseball.

a Revolution In Baseball.
 It is said thnt Brooklyn man, Arthur Cummings, Q member of tho Amateur Stars in 1867, was tho discoverer of the curve that has rovolutionizei baseball and made 1t so largely pitchers game. Mur- nane, member of the famous old Boston team of 1877, says that Cummings became q professional about 1879, and played in tho Hartford, Cincinnati and other clubs until 1878, when he retired from pitching.
 He was of light build, and boro tho nick name Candy. Hc stood feet 8, and had a remarkably long arm and long fingers.
 Cummings" said Murnanc, "wasSone of tho few men to this day who could mako a ball curve with pendulum or un- derhand swing, and his curve was tho widest ever saw.
 "For the last seven years after this dis covcry, MT. Cummings had the field to himself, and was looked upon ns tho phe- nomcnon of tho times.
 "Hnving faced nll the great pitchers from 1871 to 1879, I was well posted on tho progress of tho pitchers art. In the spring of 1879 was in Albany, connected with the club of that city, wherc Mir. Cum mings was acting as manager, now and then playing 0 game.
 During reminiscent chat ono evening MT. Cummings told of his triumphs with tho curve on tho fields around Brooklyn l was interested, and asked how he learned to got tho ball to curve.
 "'Purely accidental, said he. I never heard of such thing and couldn't believe my own eyes at first.
 |" I was pitching to some boys in the open lots outside of Brooklyn, where 1 f4 4IoL Lo1l would work away from their bats. 1 was pitching easy, for In those days you were obliged to keep your arm straight.
 The idea camo to mo that by snapping tho ball with the wrist I could get it to snil away from tho batter. When went homo that night, commenced to think about what effect tho twisting of pitched ball would have, and went out the next day to show somo friends what I had dis covered, and to my astonishmont, tho ball would go perfectly straight, and I went home that night disgustod.
 In two or three days went out again and found could get the same curve us tho first day, and after experimenting for awhile learned that the wind was blow ing slightly against tho ball as on the first day, and that fast ball would not curve as well as one thrown in at Q medium pace
 worked on the secret the rest of that season, and the next spring had all the To- cal amateur clubs after me-
 MT. Cummings was at that time work ing hard, trying to invent coupling for steam cars, and had about given up tho idea of following baseball as profession. have never heard of this player making any statement before or since of how ho discovered tho way to curve 0 baseball, and being thoroughly interested in tho subject can remember the description as if it were made but yesterday.

Door Knockers.

London is the only capital in the world whore the door knocker still remains ill existence. It Is in no sense of the word diminishing or "going out" as an cxter- nal article of household furniture. On the contrary, 1t is as numerous as ever. But it has ceased to be as artistic as in the days of yore. There no longer seems to be any rivalry between neighbors about knockers. They present dead level of uniformity of shape, and are moro frequently painted black than bright. The former is much easier to keep clean than the furnished ar ticle. In short, a door knocker Is now kept for use only, and 1t Is impossible any longer to obtain any impression of the character and condition of the inmates of house by the aspect of the knocker, al- though there still perforce, remains deal of individuality and character in the way tho knocker Is used. You can almost tell who your visitor is and his frame of mind by the way he manipulates it.-Philadel- phia Ledger.

EAoH HELD FIVE TENS.
And One Little Poker Coterie Has Per

And One Little Poker Coterie Has Per
 manently Disbanded.
 Four we'll known gentlemen eye each other askance now and try to figure out how each managed to win from the others in the many poker games they have played together. They can't for the life of them seo how any of them could have lost, be- cause they are all assured of their individ- ual and collective crookedness. This may sound vague and involved, but it can be easily explained.
 The other night tho four gentlemen in question met at the room of q fifth, who had been steady loser at the pastime and who had begun to think that his oppo- nents were not altogether fair in their methods In order, therefore, to test his theory he secured 18 decks of cards having the same kinds of backs and removed the ten spots from them, making full deck of 52 tens. Early in the game he had a good hand beaten, and said he would try a new deck to see if it would change his luck, so he tossed the pack of tens over to the man who had the deal, and watched the fun.
 Of course, each man received five tens. It was worth half physiognomist's life time to watch tho expressions upon tho faces of the four victims of the plot Each was evidently sure that an extra ton had gotten into the deck and each determined to get rid of it. Tho host naturally drop ped out, and the betting before the draw was fast and furious. Whom it was over, each man called for one card. It may be imagined what consternation there was when each found he had gotten another ten.
 The game broke up without word, and there are four mon walking around Wash ington now who wouldn't play cards with each other again if John Jacob Astor was to give each big fat stake Washington Post

although he never wrote any books on the subject of meteorological diseases, he wrote many papers on tho subject and lec- turod on it frequently before medical men.
 While experimenting at the Loomis lab oratory in New Yosk witls tuberclc bacilli he contracted consumption He discovered his condition on March 13, 1894, when he had been infected a month. Dr. Byron never recovered from his work on Swim burne island, and when he knew that he was stricken with consumption he said that he was afraid that familiarity with dangerous bacteria had made him caro- less.

tune. Among his fellows in the Medical Society of the County of New York and the other organizations to which he belonged Dr. Byron was known as tho hero of Swinburne island The fearless way in which in September, 1899, he went to the island where cholera infected immigrants and suspects were quarterod by tho hun dreds and worked and studied the disease excited the admiration of physicians all over tho United States. Similar work in Italy and other cholera infested countries in Europe had already won him a reputa- tion on the other side of the Atlantic, and despite his youth he stood in the very highest class as n bacteriologist.
 In his original work Dr. Byron made special advance in two subjects. He stud jed with interesting results the forms of the micro-organisms which produce ma larial levers, and he made valuable discoy- cries about the bacteria of leprosy Lop- rosy has not long been known as disease produced by bacteria. Among the inves- legations in various parts of the world which have enlarged the knowledge of medical men on this disease Dr. Byron's hayo proved as valuable as any. Among other interesting results of his operations he produced oultur6s of leprous bacilli- that is, with some of the bacilli of leprosy in his possession he produced leprosy in his laboratory in a gelatin medium, upon which the bacilli act the same as they do on the human system. Dr. Byron also made extensive studies in smallDox, and,

Chinese Legation Has the Bicycle Craze.

The bicycling craze has reached the Chi neso legation in Washington. In the lc- gation house on Fourteenth street is a large ballroom, wherein were given two rather pretentious but by no means gaudy balls last winter. Now this ballroom is converted into bicycle track Six or eight of the secretaries, translators and attaches of the legation, including the very fat Nun Vow Chang and the very lean Shang Hi Tseng, are industriously prac- ticing on safetios, and they much prefer the secluded precincts of the ballroom to the gaze of tho neighbors in the open air. Th.y do not care to fall over their pigtails and tear their silk pajamas in public. After the Chinamen have mastered the art of riding the American stood they are expected to mako their appearance on the avenues of the capital.-Chicago Times Herald

ments: whatever information Messrs.

first instance connecting me with the
authorship of an article on the water
works, which they assumed to answer in
the last issue of the Enterprise, they
were afterwards told and before their
articles werein type, that | had no con-
nectiOn with it," 81 did not suggest
the writing Of the article and did not
furnish an idea." 81 had nothing to do
with the article"
I am surpsi3el that Mr.. HOughton
should have permitted his zeal. and irrit-
ability to have so far out run his dis
cretiOn as to have written or dictated the
above statements. regret, yet am
forced to state, that they are not true.
As evidence for their disproval, / call
attention to +. f. Webster's article pub
lished above, "TO The Public" Mr..
Webster's article was read in the pres
ence of Messrs. Smith, Watts and my
self, and was approved by Mr.. Smith in
every particular. 1t is not necessary fol
me to go into the details, as they are
fully and correctly set forth in the above
article. W. R. WEAN.

county is the political unit. Each tax
payer in the county pays his part of the
expense, whether his home is where the
saloon causes such expense or where its
absence Obviates it.
But there are other units-as the ma
tiOn is unit in some political relations,
and each state within it a complete unit
in other such relations, so each
subdivision of state or county is
in some regards unit, and in those re-
CARDS is rightfully governed by the will
of its own majority. 1t cannot relieve
itself from the burdens or disregard the
laws of any greater unit of which it is
part, but in its own relations, it is Of
right its own ruler.
Ought not a community, which abhorS
saloons. although a part of a saloon
cursed county, to be allowed to exclude
them from its own limits, if, by so doing,
it asks or has no relief from the general
burden, which other parts of the saloon
loving county have entailed upon the
whole county?
Especially when by such exclusion il
fOregoes its share Of the money which
other parts of the county receive for al
lowing them.
Will the law asked for be effective tt
lessen the saloon evil?
The thousands who ask for it believe
that it will, and therefore ask.
They will be very much disappointed
if not allowed to try the experiment.
If experiment shows that it increases
or does not lessen the evil, none vii
more promptly ask its repeal than you
