skies and the next he Is roasting
them right and left. How In the world
he gets the work out of the team
that he does is hard to understand, I'M
less 1t Is because the players have got
ION to" his erratic tendencies and have
learned to pay no attention to what
he says on the field. During game
Wilmot Is one of the most excitable
individuals imaginable One minute
he Is throwing bouquets at his players
and the next he is making life bur-
den to them. But after the game Is
over and he has donned his street
clothes it would be hard to find a more
pleasant, genial man than Walter Will
mot. He Is in the game to win all the
time, and cannot take defeat ration
ally. Every time the Millers are de-
feated, some one must suffer. and
Walter makes it hot for the man who,
In his judgment, caused the loss of the
game. This sort of management will
not do. The Millers have been playing
great ball for the past month, but walt
until they get out on the final trip,
where every game means the winning
or losing of the pennant, and the eff
feet will be seen. If the team starts
off badly it will be out of the race
before any one realizes It, and it will
be largely due to the erratic manage
ment to which the men have been sub
jected.

SUCCESS OF THE NATIONAL GAME.
AnsOn's Great Batting Record-Is
This Roger C0nner's Last
Seasons

Special Correspondence of the Globe
NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-This year will
break the record for disorder on the
base ball fields, for fighting and scrap
ping between the players of opposing
clubs. The state of affairs is not con-
fined to the major league, where every
conflict, whether small or important, is
duly chronicled. But the spirit of pug
nacity has gone out among the Junior
clubs. President Crane, Of the At
lantic league, has frankly admitted
that an umpire who undertakes to do
Paterson and Newark clubs of New
Jersey takes his life In .hs hands and
courts death or disability. There is
one shining proof standing high above
this professional disorder In base ball
the honesty Of the game is unassaila-
bic. Indeed, 1t is the overstrained in
tensity which puts the stamp of hon
esty upon every game played. In the
old days Of sell outs and rottenness,
prior to the organization Of the Ma
tional league, such a thing as a fight
between opposing players was never
heard of. They were more likely after
a game to go away together and di-
vide their spoils in secret friendship.
1t is significant that at this same time
the other great out of door sport
horse racing-is under suspicion. The
press Of the East is almost unanimous
In the charge Of combinations and col
fusion among the men who are con-
Quoting racing on the Atlantic Circuit.
All that legislation can do and all that
honest judges, stewards and racing
magnates have done has not succeeded
in putting horse racing on that plane

CAR CONDUCTORS EYES.
Rubbing Them With Hands Crime d
With Dirty Coin Injuries Them.

New York Mail and Express.
The conductor on the Broadway cable
car was in a talkative mood when a
reporter for the Mail and Express
boarded his car last night. He frequent
ly wiped his eyes with large red hand
kerchief and made remarks.
why do you weep"
Il amt weeping" replied the con-
ductor. 1T comes from getting dirty
money. You see, lot OF people have
been writing in the papers that the
conductors on the cable roads are sui
fering from some eye disease because
they have to handle the brass rails of
the cars so much, and then put their
hands to their eyes. 'Taint So or course.
we have to rub the dust from our eyes
every now and then, but 1t amt no brass
poisoning were getting. It's dirty coins
that are soiiing ours hands and iniur-
ing us. You see, every passenger wants
to get rid of black chink, so he shoves
1t of on us. It's good money, and we
have to take 1t and handle it. Then we
get dust in Our eyes andsrub them The
constant handling Of. this dirty coin
covers our hands with Crime, aud we
rub it into our eyes! That's all there is
to it, sdf
Just then a pretty young woman
boarded the car, and, having fished
around in her dainty purse, gave the
conductor nickel. He rang up the fare
and then showed the nickel to the re-
porter. 1t was as black as ink.

UP the spectators into supplications Of
Strike him out!' an event which never
falls to give the most unbounded de-
light to the rooters even on the Chi
cago grounds. Probably the pleasure
OF 1t Is all the more acute because IL
is so rare, for with even handicap of
two strikes 1t Is probably 20 to j that
the old man doesn't get fooled on the
third. Clarke told me not long ago
that there are but two batsmen in the
big league who cannot be deceived by
pitcher. One is Arson, and the other
is Herman.
When Arson leaves the diamond, 1t
Will not be the failure of his good
eye" which compels 1t, but the stiffen-
Ing OF his muscles and joints. His bat
ting and fielding are wonderfully pre-
served, but his running Is each sue
ceeding year more and more fashioned
after the trot Of q milk COW going
home to her calf at eventide.
There are but few of them left
these old time heroes of the diamond.
Next to Arson comes Roger Conner
He has not maintained his former
prowess so well as the Chicago man.
nor has he been so long In service. But
he Is looked upon as one Of the old
stars who must soon pass into private
life. Every year report gets out that
1t is Rogers last season in base ball.
Ine rumor Is just as regularly denied.
Successful base ball players seldom
retire voluntarily. Ward was an ex-
ception, and his friends will tell you
that he has regretted it. The ballfield
has an attraction to those who make
their living thereon which few are ever
able to shake off. They will pirate
about the slavery of a ball players
life and talk about the despotism Of
the magnates, but when they are ernan-
cipated and delivered from the des-
potic tyrants they go out into their
freedom with many regrets and long
ings for the life which has gone by.

QUEER Goldfish EYES.
Changes Which They Undergo When
Exposed to q Strong Light

Several large cod are kept in one of
the tanks Of the Amsterdam aquarium.
necessarily. near to the surface, and
therefore, exposed to a strong light
from above. Now the cod, though not
a 'deep-sea" fish, is not a surface
swimmer, and lives at depths where
the sunlight must be very much modi-
fed by passage through the water. 1t
lives in what to us would be semi-dark-
ness. Every one of these cod exposed
to the strong light Is suffering from an
extraordinary hypertrophy of the eye
The whole organ has become over
grown, as if in the effort to adjust itself
to the use Of more light rays it had be-
come overequipped and then useless.
The cod, in fact, are blind, says a
writer in the Philadelphia Press
The most interesting feature in this
change is the extraordinary rapidity
with which increased supply of light
rays has overdeveloped the organ for
its use. 1t has taken place, not by
slow degrees, from individual to in
dividual, but in a course Of time to be
measured by months, and in every
individual in the tank. If this example
is measure of the rapidity with which
such changes take place among fish
the adaptation of those creatures
which have migrated from the shallow
waters to the deep seas, shown by the
total loss or enormous development Of
their eyes, and the growth Of illumi-
mating organs to light the abyss, may
have been as rapid as 1t is marvellous.

How the Smart Farmer Won the

GrOceryman's Money
An amusing true story is related Of a.
FARMER who came into village grocery

nous egg, about six inches long, which
was laid by one of his old hens, SAYS
the Helena, (Mont) Independent. He
had packed it in cotton, and wouldn't
allow anybody to handle it for fear of,
breaking the, phenomenon. The gro
ceryman examined it with the rest.
and, intending to chaff the country
man, said: "Pshaw, I've got some
thing in the egg line that will beat
that"
I'll bet you SIS you haven't" said the
countryman, getting excited.
Take it up" said the groceryrnan
and going behind the counter he
brought out a wire egg-beater
There's something in thes egg line
that will beat it, l guess said he,
reaching for the stakes.
Hold on, there" said the farmer:
lets see you beat it." and he handed
1T to the grocer. The latter held out his
hand for it, but dropped it in surprise
on the counter, where it broke two
soup plates and a platter. It was iron
painted white.

KATE FIELDS WILL.
Wishes of the Noted Newspaper
Woman Will BE COmpIied With.

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-Before Kate Field
left for Hawaii she advised H. H.
kohlsaat, editor Of the Times Herald
that she had provided in her will for
the disposition of her remains in the
event of death. Diligent search failed
to discover this will until Friday last.
Meanwhile the body has been lying in
vault at Hawaii. 1t appears from this
viii that Miss Field directed that her
body be cremated, and that her ashes,
together with a plain gold ring worn
by her, be placed in an urn and depos-
TIED above the collins of her father
and mother in Mount Auburn cemetery
at Cambridge, Mass Mr.. Kohlsaat
has undertaken the immediate execu-
ton of these instructions, and has
written to Consul General Mills at
Honolulu, making provision for the ex-
pense and directing that the cremation
shall take place there, if practicable,
but that if not, the remains shall be
forwarded by the next steamer via San
FRANCISCO and overland to Boston,
where the desired disposition of them
will be made.

The development of the railroad, the BIZ

transversely by steel rods, from which was
suspended a seat for their seven-year- old
child, rode through Augusta, Me-, on tour

whole outfit up to 400 pounds, were carried,
and they Travelled about twenty miles day.
A correspondent at Aix-les- Bains sends
description of a brake for use in mountain
Gus districts. hotelkeeper on the Col du
Chut furnishes every traveller who patron
ICES him with good-sized fagot attached to
a cord about two meters long. When this
cord Is tied to the saddle the friction Of the
fagot on the road renders a descent down
straight run perfectly safe and easy without
any other brake being necessary. 1t has the
further advantage of not injuring the tires.
An increasing number of bicycles have
been seen recently provided with long handled
parasols 80 strapped to the handle-bars as to
shade the rider effectually from the sun. The
best arrangement for this purpose is a Joint
ed handle which allows for adjustment Of the
parasol to catch the rays of the sun wher-
ever 1t may be. There is no particular reason
why this should not be wise precaution for
women who ride in the heat Of the day on
country roads.
1t is again declared with some appearance
OF authority that one of the oldest of the
manufacturers is going to make chainless
wheels almost exclusively next year, the COM
pany having bought all the patents for the
device.

HOLSTERS SHUT OUT.

Yesterdays game between Indianapolis and
Minneapolis was the best the locals have ever
put up at Minnehaha, not an error being
made. The once great Chauncey Fisher had
made his boasts OF what picnic he was go
ing to have with the Millers, but after the
fifth inning, he stole away into the dense
hedge just beyond the fence and meditated
of what might have been. On the other
hand, Figgemeier pitched the best ball ever
seen OF him this year. allowing but five puny
singles. Not Indian got farther than third
base, and that only twice. The locals batted
Fisher hard. and while they were doing that
some Hoosier would go up in the air and the
team never made skip. Ball and Pickett
played star game and ate up base hits
as though 1t was their steady diet Every
Miller save Sehriver got at least one hit, and
there was no scratches about them either.
