Nero,s Appearance.

In his youth Nero was remarkably
handsome, but early in manhood his
habits of dissipation made him exceed
ingly corpulent To judge from his
medals and the descriptions left of him
he must have weighed over 200 pounds.
His features were regular. but his eyes
were SO protuberant as to be almost a
deformity, and he was nearsighted, so
much SO that he could not recognize his
acquaintance across the street.

A DARING WOMAN RIDER.
Pretty Madeline Fitzpatrick and Her Fa-
nous Feats on q Bicycle.

One of the most daring women trick
riders in the world is Madeline Fitzpatrick,
an attractive young lady who seems thor
oughly at ease on her bicycle, no matter
what eccentric and apparently impossible
positions it is made to assume. To the
woman beginner who finds it extremely
difficult to remain on her wheel even when
two or three men are holding her on, Mrs.
Kilpatrick's trick of standing upon the
seat with one foot and steering the wheel
with the other must SAVIOR of cycling hyp-
notism or legerdemain. Mrs. Fitzpatrick
turns her wheel upside down and stands
on the pedals, pulls the front wheel into
the air and rides along on the rear wheel
and performs many other feats of re-
markable character on the safety bicycle.
% She is the wife of Charles G. Fitzpatrick,
the famous one legged trick rider, who
seems able to DO nearly all the feats in the

that be will materially strengthen the

play at Lewiston. From there they will
go to Portland for games, Tuesday and
Wednesday. Returning, they will meet
Portland, Thursday and Friday. probably
On the new Gardiner grounds-if they can
be put in readiness in season.
The work will be pushed on the Gardi-
ner grounds just as rapidly and just as
far as the funds collected for that purpose
will Admit. A good sized crew will he at
work upon them, today and it is expected
that the High school boys and other Gar
diner citizens interested in the work will
be on hand to assist in pushing it.
Brockton Times: Manager Doe has
signed new first baseman named O'Con-
NELL who has played lately with the
Oman, and Sioux City teams, and he is
negotiating with Cross of Minneapolis and
Delaney of Easton both second basemen.
Judging from his experience on Monday,
he would also like to secure some new
pitchers.
New Bedford Mercury: The spectators
at Augusta, Monday, especially the older
ones, must have felt that base ball had
return ed to its infancy. The game lasted
three hours and a quarter, the score was
20 to II, and Augusta got 90 hits, while
New Bedford got Is. Everybody hit the
ball IL to the woods and everybody crossed

suckers upon such movements. their course
becomes thoroughly despicable. They
merit the condemnation of every decent
man or boy in the community.
There will be no ball game, today AS
it was an open date, Manager Burnham
was very anxious that Fall River should
play off the game postponed on account of
Wednesday rain; but this Manager Nc
Dermutt refused to do, claiming that his
pitchers were out of condition, and he
desired days rest before meeting New
Bedford, Saturday. Manager Burnham
wired President Murnanc If he would
compel Fall River to play the same and
received a reply that he had no authority
under tho constitution to do so.

SOUTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATS
All Tangled Up Over Registration Laws and
Coming Constitutional Convention.

Columbia, s. c., May 16.-An all night
session OF the Tillman- Irby executive com
mittce, claiming to be the regular Demo,
cratic state organization, was held here,
last night, being called to meet the emcr-
Rency caused by Judge Goffs decision
against the constitutionality of the state
registration laws In the face of the coming
election of delegates to the constitutional
convention.
There was strong effort to induce Gov
Evans to call an extra session Of tho Log
but he refused to do SO, stating that IL an
other law was passed the courts would
declare 1t unconstitutional.
= Senaor Tillman declared. notwithstand-
ing his bitter attack upon Judge Golf, that
the condition in which tho lattcr's deci-
sion left politics was the very best for the
party, and advocated white primary to
nominate delegates to the convention,
saying that ii the conservative Democrats,
with white opponents, would not como in
to It, but mako n fight in the general cleo
ton. there would he n sanguinary cam
paign. He said IL Judge Golf went any
further In this matter he, for one, would
advocate open rebellion.
This was not intended for publjca,

but tho reporters overheard 1t

rcpcrtory of men who are provided with
tho usual number of pedal extrcmities.
Several years ago Fitzpatrick astonished
the wheeling world by coasting down the
steps of the capitSA at Washington. He
says he knew nothing and has no memory
whatever of his state of mind while on the
way down. He rode down the steps in q
trance and was awakened by the shouts of
the people on his safe arrival at the bot
tom.
Fitzpatrick S favorite performance is rid
ing down flight of specially built steps
distance of Ito feet. Tho top of the per-
ilous incline is so feet above the earth.
and the steps are only five feet in width.
One night in Kansas City the electric
lights went out just as the one legged cy-
clist began his ride for life," and he
coasted tho remainder of the distance in
darkness SO dense that intelligent steering
was impossible. He merely held his handle
bars firm, and with his heart in his mouth
arrived in safety at the bottom of the in
cline.
