BROWN KNEW THE HUG.

The other day two men who gave
their names as A. j. Mack and James
McClusky were arrested in Seattle,
Wash, and held by Chief of Police
Reed in the belief that they were the
highwaymen who recently held up
Manager Brown or the Western Union
Telegraph company. Late in the even
ing Manager Brown called at police
headquarters, had a look at the me T..
and then told Chief Reed that he be-
lieved they were the men responsible
for his hold up. Before Identifying
them Brown had the two prisoners
brought before him.
"Grab me around the neck just as
you did that night" said Brown to one
of the men.
Tho prisoner hesitated.
"Go ahead" insistor; Brown.
The prisoner concluded that II

for about sixty seconds made him be-
lleve that he was in the embrace Of a
bear.
"Not so - hard" said Brown
finally: edo you think I want to be
strangled?"
The prisoner released him, grinning
as If he had lots of fun, and then
Brown said:
That's just the way he did that
night"
Then Brown touk look at the pris-
oner.

pal, Hit him on the stomach aren't

gested that Brown should let him hit
him in the stomach once by way Of
second illustration, but Brown knew
thing or two by this time, and replied
by giving the fellow body blow in his
own ribs-"just to get even," he said.

was really comfortable or not, the high
leather boot spoiled the outlines OF the
leg, and its proper decline in favor
seems only just consequence. The
overwhelming advantages OF the silk
stocking are apparent on the bicycle
nowadays every day. The freedom Of
action, the GOODNESS in this matter and
the merit of being wholly becoming are
some Of its advantages to the wearer,
and the steady increase in its popular
ity shows that they are appreciated.
It's superiority to the other form OF leg
covering is something of which the
spectators would allow no di-pute. The

HIGH BICYCLE BOOTS OUT.
In the East Women Wear Low Shoes
and Silk Stockings.

Nobody can ride on the boulevard
now without observing that the wo-
mans high bicycle shoe has become a
thing of the past, and has been appro-
priately supplanted by the black silk
stocking and patent leather slipper.
The Improvement, from spectacular
point of view, is not to be questioned.
When the high shoe was new 1t was

1t was old 1t was wrinkled and sloppy

made trimness out Of the question.
These were its spectacular defects.

Washington Defeats Baltimore.

Baltimore, Oct. 1.-The baseball sea-
son closed today with a duh and un-
interesting game between the eX-cham-
pions and the Senators, in which the
latter were victorious, mainly because
their antagonists apparently made lie
effort to win Less than 200 people saw
the contest, which was played under
the lowering skies and in the teeth OF
a dreary east wind that caused the
spectators to shiver on the benches
and heartily wish the game ended he
fore it had fairly begun
There was an occasional burst of ap-
plause from a few of the "Old Guard
who came to see the end of the season S
playing, and from a small but ener-
getic body of WashingtonianS, who
had places in the grand stand back of
the visitors bench: but aside from this
there was no enthusiasm. Bresnehan
started in to pitch for the Senators,
but the Orioles fell upon him in the
second inning for three earned runs
and he gave way to the attenuated
Mir. Swain, who did much better during
the remainder of the game. The visit
ors' run in the first was a. clean case
OF steal upon SelIbach's part that en-
ergetic young man having run in from
third While Amole and Clarke we're
musing over their agility in having
put Mcclure out at first. When they
aroused themselves Setback was safe.
The home team then took the lead and
held it until the fourth inning, when
the visitors found Amole's pitching to
their liking, and three doubles and two
singles brought in four runs. After
that no one seemed to take the slight
est interest in the game and Umpire
Hurst called il at the end Of the eiehth
inning without any apparent reason
other than he was tired of il. All 9TH
ers concerned felt the same way about
it and the season of 1897 closed with a
defeat for the "three-tine winners. -

to a close at Eastern park this after
noon. Incidentally it was the last
league game that will ever be played
in Brooklyn, for when the clubs begin

The weather today was not the kind
that is suitable to the baseball fans.

more than 1000 persons assembled
with the intention of giving the bean

up today they were hardly recoSnl2-

Hamilton was the only player in his
proper position.
Brooklyn was not much better off.
They had to bring HaniVan from New
ark to cover left field Still Brooklyn
had the better team, which accounts
for the easy victory. Lewis, who is
slated to go against Baltimore in one
OF the Temple cup series did not exert
himself to any great extent, which ac-
counts for the number of hits. Fisher
had all the Bostons except Stahl and

himself solid, with the crowd by crack

His fourth crack would have resulted
in a 3-bagger but for a wonderful one

fielded brilliantly. Brooklyn closed the
