RUBBER TIRES IN PARIS.
The Fad Given a Great Impetus by
President Faure.


A sudden freak of fashion has brought the
India rubber tire into favor in the City of
Light. The start was given to the new RAD
by the Anglomaniacs who imported rubber,
tired safety hanson cabs from London and
giided around in them, amid the stares OF
their felow-citiZens, whom they knocked
over like ten-pins while feeding their curl
osity Vehicles of this sort have been all
the rage among young blades about town
and smart stock exchange men. Still. had
the matter ended here. 1t would have had
no further effect than to produce little
extra animation in the accident wards or
the hospitals, but there was more to follow.
President Felix Faure got wind of the In
noyation through his sOn-in-law, Nj. Berge,
who is Thoroughbred sportsman and up
to all the latest moves in the horsey world.
The Presidents wish was to run hansome
of his own, but his chief Of the protocol,
the functionary whose business Ii Is to see
that he does not outrage the proprieties de-
manded of his rank, decided that the head
carriage with Jess than four wheels. A COM
promise was made, accordingly, and one
afternoon NJ. Faure made the round OF
the lake'-the classic drive in the Bats de
Boulogne-in a brand new victoria furnished
with the comfortable but deadly rubber
tires The day after carriages with rubber
wheels were the correct thing. and the DAM
age was done. The most ardent followers
of the new fashion had proved TO be ladies,
and especially those who are often in So
ciety and vet all their lives out of IL. No
professional beauty who respects herself
will now consent to her precious person be-
ing subjected to tolting, and. more like
sylphs than ever, they spirit about on tires
as bulky as those of their pneumatic bicy-
cles. .
II takes a great deal to send up the death
rate i'm a big city but before these rubber
tires had been in vogue a month they had
come near to doing it, The vi.lainous,
noiseless vehicle stole upon you IKE flend
unawares and their privileged coachmen
were so successful that they got tired of
counting the scalps they took. Fortunately
the chief of the Paris police has belled the
cat. Paris awoke one morning to find its
walls posted with a new police regulation
ordering the owners of rubber-tired vehicles
to attach full-tongued bell or chime OF
shriu bells to their horses harness. The
result is that in the aristocratic quarters
of the town and on the big boulevarcs one
might imagine oneself in st. Petersburg
with its tinkling trOikas.

ALMOST SHUT OUT.
Columbus Slaughtered by Indinnapo-
lis Before 1000 Buckeyes.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
+ COLUMBUS, o., May 10.--Phillips was In
the box to-day for Indianapolis. and with
the splendid support given him was in
vincibe. Four lonely little hits were scat
tered through eight innings by Columbus
without getting a man near the home base,
and I'm the ninth, when about half of the
1900 people had gone home with the expecta-
ton OF hearing of shut-out Sharp. Her
non and Mccormack intermingled singles ju-
diciously without outs and succeeded in send
ing Sharp over the rubber with one solitary
run. While outside OF the large number of
runs made by the visitors the score does
rot look bad. it does not show how poorly
the home team played. Errors were not
numerous. but stupid plays at critical stages
materially assisted the Hoosiers in their &C
emulation of runs.
''Bumpus' Jones had an off day. Hogriever
was hit by pitched ball for starter and
Roat hit hot one to Mccormack. The
third baseman fielded it cleanly and threw
to Wheelock at second, when he should have
retired the batsman at first base. Whee-
lock was so surprised at the mistake of his
side partner that he forgot to throw the ball,
as even then there was time to retire Roat.
AS it happened two men were on bases with
no one out. Mccarthy dumped one down to
JONES' who fell over his feet and let the ball
get away. filling the bases. when he had a
chance to make double play. Stewart hit
to Mccormack, who threw Hogriever out
at the plate. "Bumpus'' evidently wanred
the Hoosiers to get run, as he gave MOTT
four wide ones, forcing Roat across the
plate. Two scored on Woods hit, Motz be-
ing caught at the plate when he tried to
score ON Woods steal of second, and SHE
beck ended the first agony era. After two
men were out In the second, Hogriever tore
board off the left-feld fence, which en-
abled him TO reach the third cushion, and
there he died, as Browning succeeded in
catching Roats long hit to right field.
The Gladiator" lost caste in the third in
ming by muffing McCarthys fly. that worthy

At this point the balloon went up and Jones
went with 1t. Stewart hit for three bases.
duplicated the feat. and Wood singled SHE
beck was given a base on balls and Hogan's
bunt was caught by Bumpus. That was one

the way il stood when Phillips stepped up
with bat which resembed telephone

Sad Condition Of Mushroom Towns In

this journey partly for pleasure and partly
in the interests OF local people who have
investments in Western lands and enter

OF the financial condition OF that part OF
the country are depressing In the extreme.
Mr.. Alden visited about fifteen cities and
towns. beginning at st. Louis and extending
across what used to be the great plains, and
in nearly all OF them found a very depress-
ing state OF affairs. The older cities, such
as st. Louis. Salt Lake City and San Fran
