CORsETs BARRED OUT.
Steel Ribs Forbidden in Girls'
High School.

A new reason why the new woman must
discard one of the most Enthusiastically
feminine articles of her attire or fall short
of filling her role has turned up at the
girls high school at Oakland, Cal. She must
either abandon corsets or one of the most
promising of the professions that embracing
electricity in all its branches.
An electrical department was added to the
school some time ago. The poor professor in
charge has had dreadful time. During the
lessons the delicate instruments have played
him all sorts Of tricks, and all his expert
ments have been of doubtful success. Every
once in a while a girl would step up to tell
what she had learned about volts, ohms
and amperes, and Immediately the galvano-
meters would gyrate wildly anhs the needles
on the various dials would cwahble Then
the professor knew the student beside him
had on a high-grade corset with ribs of finest
steel.
Finally Prof. Meade was obliged to Issue
rule barring corseted girls from the electrical
department, and the governors indorsed the
rule. In entering the electrical department the
girls have to pass one of the professors sens-
tive galvanometers. The impertinent Gig
ger" works like charm, and there is no
way In which the girls can beat the game.
On the near approach of girl wearing steel
ribbed corsets the needle gyrates frantically,
and the girl is respectfully but firmly re-
minded of the rule, and expostulations are
useless.

A PosT-PRANDIAL STORY.
1t Draws Upon a Mans CreduiIity
to Swallow 1t.

Chicago News.
Colonel, did you read about that
man who was picked by an Atlantic
steamer yesterday after being af1oat
thirty-Seven days?"
mo, I failed to see the item," said
the colonel, reaching for another cigar.
WAS he very hungry when picked
up?"
Hungry? Why, colonel, when they
found him he was sitting on the edge
of his raft and was dangling one of
his feet in the water. He was trying
to attract a shark, in hopes Of being
able to pull the fish on board, when 1t
grabbed his toes"
The colonel blew a long puff. That"
said he, isn't a circumstance to a
horrible case that I remember in 1871
There was young fellow named Jack
son, who went on a trading schooner
to the West Indies. The ship was
wrecked on a coral reef, and he man
aged to climb ashore on the edge of
the reef. Well, sir, he sat on that coral
reef for forty-four days without a
bite to eat. There was a spring of fresh
water on the reef, and he did not suf-
fer from thirst, but he was, very nat
urally starving. On the evening of the
forty-second day he made up his mind
to suffer no longer. In his pocket was
a burning glass. On the reef was plen-
ty Of wood from the wreck Of the
schooner. He took some wood and built
a very neat little pyramid Of 1T. Then
he turned his burning glass on the
wood, and had roaring fire going
Then he drew his long sailors knife,
and with one blow chopped off his left
hand. This he held over the blaze until
it was thoroughly fricasseed. Then he
ate it.
''The young plan had large hand
he was one Of those generous fellows
and was saving and economical with
his rations. So the hand lasted him for
a week, after which he withstood the
pangs Of hunger for ten days. Then,
growing desperate again, he cut off his
right foot and lived on that. Eight
days went by while he was eating the
foot, and then, just as he was med1tat-
ing dining off an ear, a vessel move IN
sight. He lives over on the West SIDE
now, and. the bones Of his hand and
foot, mounted and polished, serve as
paper weights upon his desk"

KANSAS CITY, No., April 26-Over six
thousand wildly excited enthusiasts saw the
Kansas City Blues win the second game Of the
series from the St. Paul team, after hard
fought and long drawn out struggle of ten
innings, by score of 10 to 9.
1t was one of the most exciting games ever
played in Kansas City, the visitors taking
a batting streak late in the game which all
but won out for them. Callahan, for Kan
sas City, and Phyle, for St. Paul, were the
opposing pitchers, and the St. Paul twirler
had the best Of the argument, but he was
unlucky with his bases on balls, and the
Blues punched their hits to the best advan-
tage
The home team started off with a big lead
by pilng up four runs in the second inning
and they increased their lead by gathering two
more runs in the fourth and two in the sixth
In their half of the sixth the Saints did busi-
ness with Callahan, and with four singles and
home run by Mertes scored five runs and got
in the game. In the ninth they got three
more clean hits, and tied the score amid the
yells of the crowd. The tenth inning was a.
heart-breaker on both sides. For Kansas City
Wiox led off with base on balls stole second
while Lake was being struck, took third on
Hatfield's slow hit to ORourke and scored on
Callahan's hit, which forced Hatfield at Sec
jpnd.
Killing hit safely and Callahan scored when
Kraus and Phyle let Nyce's high fly drop
safely in the diamond.
For st. Paul Mullane batted in place of
Phyle, and cracked out single. O'Rourke
perished on fly, but GIasscock and George
hit safely, scoring Mullane and leaving two
men still on bases, with but one out Shugart
nit low fly toward first base, which Callahan
got under by great run, and, running on
over the base, he beat George to it and COM
pleted sensational double play, which ended
the game. The score:

balls coming toward him, and when the ball
landed and he trotted down to first, each sack
held Brewer. Then came Hartman's home
run and four runs. In the last half of the
second, an error by Wetterer on grounder
by Strauss, a single and a theft Of second
by Ball and another single by Frank scored
two. With the score to 4, the game went
smoothly on until the fifth. After Hartman
had been retired, Twitchell was given a base
ON balls and Stafford followed with a drive
for three bases to left center. single by
Taylor scored Stafford, and single by Out
calf and sacrifice by Baker scored Taylor.
In the sixth, after Weaver had been retired,
Hartman hit for base and scampered to
second while Strauss and Werden were re-
firing Twitchell. Then Stafford came to the
rescue again with a three-base hit straight
over Lally's head in center. In the last of
the sixth, Minneapolis got two on single by
Kuehne, triple by Ball and an error by
Taylor. The score:

THE ROMAN CAMPAGNA.
Half the History of the World Has
Been Written Within Its Borders.

In Rome itself one loses sight of the
vatican and of the cupola Of st.
Peters. The view Of them Is easily
shut out when one is near But at
little distance, as you drive out upon
the Campagna, the dome rears itself up
by degrees, as though giant were
slowly thrusting up his helmeted head
from the horizon; and as you go farth-
er away the mass still rises in respect
Of the littleness around 1t, enormous
out of all forseen proportion, until 1t
hugely masters and thrusts down all
the rest beneath the level line of mist,
and towers alone above everything, in
vast imperial solitude, writes Marion
Crawford In the January Century.
But out upon that broad expanse Of
rolling land one need not look forever
at st. Peters dome. Half the history
of the world has been written in stones
and blood between the sealine and the
ranging mountains. The memory of a
Brahman sage, the tongue OF a Homer.
the wisdom Of a Solomon, kneaded
into one human genius, would not suf-
flee to recall, to describe and to Judge
all that men have done in that bounded
plain.
Where the myths Of ages were born
and grew great and died, where the
history of five and twenty centuries
lies buried, romance has still life to put
forth a few tender blossoms. For al
though the day Of the Caesars is dark
ened, and the twilight of their gods has
deepened into night, the hdman heart
has not yet lived outfsits day nor
earned its rest. et
On the very spot where YOU pause,
dim primevaI battles nwere fought,
Christian martyrs died, tbaEbarians en-
camped, Roman barons slew one an
other, and foreign conquerors halted
before besieging Rome. Where you
are standing. fair youngpSt! Julia may

GAME TOO SHORT FOR M1LLERs.
They Only Get Seven Runs to the
Brewers Ten.

Special to the Globe.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 26.-The pres
ence OF very nearly 5000 enthusiastic follow
ers put the right kind of life into the
brewers today, and for the first time since
1.-THE season opened. they seemed to gaze on
the ball as it sped toward the plate clearly
and calmly. AT the end of the second inning
they had knocked all the pitching out of
Lcng John Healy, and when darkness and
rain came and stopped the game early in the
seventh, they were beginning to make Rice
believe that the Western league was a rather
tough road after all. The game was really
won in the second inning, when, with three
Brewers on the bases, Hartman caught one Of
lHealys out curves sQuarely on the trade
mark, and the ball went so far over the left
field fence that 1t was lost to view ere 1t
EoUched the mellow soil of some Eighteenth
street garden patch. Hartman's home-run hit
Settled Healys inability to pitch with Will
mot. After the Brewers had looked at Rice's
pitching for two innings, they began to get
on to 1t and hammered the ball again. Aft
Ter Wetterer had been retired in the first
half of the seventh inning, Umpire McDer-
mott called the game, because it was too
dark to see the ball. Even had the game
gone on it would have been stopped by rain
less than five minutes later so Wilmot
probably made up his mind that it was all
fright after all, though at the time he was
very vehement in his objections to the game
being called.
The first inning Milwaukee scored twice on
singles by Nicol, Hartman and Twitcheil q
sacrifice by Stafford and an error by Schriver.
In their half, Minneapolis tied ON bases on
L lis to Lally and Wilmot, two passed balls.
and double by Schriver. In the second.
after Wetterer and Outcalt had been retired,
Baker hit for base, and Little Mic followed
his example. Weaver stood as still as a

Thompson was deep in his paper and
appeared to be unconscious Of the pres

upon his foot and rustled his paper
with the bottom of her wrap Then
she took the damper measures. The
snow in the followed rim OF her hat

his paper and emptied itself into his

Thompson uttered prayer for the
innocent young girl, and then she
turned the other side to him so that
the water from the opposite side Of her

Thompson never looked at her as she
dropped into his seat with a sigh of

LOOKING FOR A RALLY.
Bul1ish Move I'm Wheat Expected
After May Deliveries.


CHICAGO. April 26.-The Times-HeraId to-
morrow will say regarding the grain and pro-
vision markets.:
The wheat professional is looking for a rally
after the May deliveries. In the interim he
expects lower prices. Last week May dropped
from 65A to 62H cents, and closed at 631a cents
Within fortnight there has been drop of
over cents.
In the next few days he expects increasing
May liquidation, and next Friday large de-
liveries Of spring wheat. unless the spread
has meantime widened somewhat There is no
reason why the elevator proprietor should
hold the grain unless he gets good charge
for carrying 1t. There Is no present demand
for the spring grade. and from present appear
ances 1t will remain In the elevators, whether
tho warehousemen or the public own 1t. OF
course, the warehouse men would hold to the

May price. without takers. A very large share
of this will be delivered unless the spread
goes to about cents. Whether the spread
widens or the deliveries are made, the first
effect will be to more or less discourage hold
ers.
After the delivery day there will be aids
OF various sorts to help the bulls. The wheat
which started from Chicago last week will
be arriving at the various seaboard cities.

some Of 1t will have passed off the lake out of

and quite certainly very large clearances

Congressman Cousins Was Too Mod
est to Act as hest Man.
Troy Times.
One of the most modest members Of
congress is Bob Cousins, Of Iowa. It
is told that not many sessions ago Mr.
Mercer member from Nebraska, still
in the house. married young lady well
known in Washington. Inasmuch as
Cousins is an intimate friend of Mer-
GERS, both being born In Iowa, the latter
thought it would be an excellent idea to
have Cousins act as best man at the
wedding. Bob consented. The cere-
mony occurred. After 1t was over the
minister kissed the bride, bridesmaids
ditto. The bride, supposing the best
man would be glad Of a similar courtesy
extended to him, puckered up her lips
to him in order that he might avail him
self of the opportunity so graciously ex-
tended to him. When Mr.. Cousins re-
allied what was expected of him in the
premises he gave one look at the bride,
turned so red that even the darkest cor
ner of the church became as light as
monday, bOlted down the aisle and out
Of the church, leaving the bride In rath-
er an embarrassed state of mind, to saw
nothing of the mingled feelings of sur
prise and bewilderment of the other
members of the bridal party and friends.
Both Mercer and Cousins are in the pres
ent congress. but the latter had rather
talk on almost any subject than on GER
tain incidents connected with the we'd
ding Of the gentleman from Nebraska.
