EDUCATING SENSE OF TOUCH.

Ono of the Nerve Faculties That May he
Improved by Cultivation.
The question has been asked, which
of our senses is most capable of i'm
provement? An English scientist says
probably the sense Of touch. Strictly
speaking, the senses are capable rather
of alteration and specialization than of
improvement. For instance, those who
have much to do in the open air be-
come immensely long-sighted, but this
is abnormal and the increased superior
ity in one direction is compensated for
by inferiority in another.
But there are many trades which af-
ford abundant evidence that the sense
of touch, at any rate in certain direc-
tions, can be largely developed. For IN
stance, the connoisseur of china relies
much more on an almost imperceptible
difference of feeling in the texture than
on his eyes Ia discover the genuineness
Of any piece.
The blind beggar can very soon dis
Germ between different metals merely

The skilled workman knows entirely by
this sense when a mixture has reached

ceives very high wages by virtue of this
sense alone.
On the other hand, the sense of smell
and the sense of taste are, each of them,
blunted and lose their finer perception
# the same object is frequently pre-
sented to them. In every case, how
ever. it is not the general sense of touch
that is improved, but special excel

Rochester begins q three-day series

Manager Griffin has been times at

average Of .625 and has scored runs
In Maguire's four times at bat in
the first game he had an opportunity
to help bat in five runs but in each in
stance he failed.
Poor coaching in the second game
made Bonner run on a fly to Wise.
There was but one out and Bonner
was nearly to third when Wise caught
the ball and threw it to first, making
a double play
Unless Gillon wins his game today
Harper will be the Miners winning

Out the Second.

The Miners and the Bisons broke
even in double bill yesterday after
noon.
Beard was hit on the left elbow by
q pitched ball in the first inning of the
first game and was obliged to retire.
This accident made a serious break
in the teams makeup and crippled its
hitting, else the Miners might have
bagged both games.
With two out in the third inning OF
the first game Grey walked and Fields
singled Mcguire fumblcd Wise's easy
grounder and on the error the game
was lost. With the. bases full, sim

netted five runs which was sufficient to
win the game. A second error by Ma
guire in the eighth permitted the Bis

The game WAS void of any brilliant
playing. Souders slow bail was just
the thing to puzzle the locals. They
could not bunch their hits on him.

AT THE PHOTOGRAPHERS.
An Effective Method of Keeping the
Young Darling Quiet.

a friend of mine took her 4-year-old
girl to a photographer The child
couldn't be made to sit still. He of the
camera was as suave as he could be
and worked every device of gentle per-
suasion TO make the little wriggler
keep still. Finally he said to the de-
spairing mother:
Madam, If you will leave the little
dear alone with me for a few min
utes / think / can succeed"
The mother had scarcely Withdrawn
when she was summoned back by the
triumphant photographer, who exhib-
tied a satisfactory negative.
When they reached home the mother
asked: "Nellie, what did the man say
to you when l left you alone with
him."
HE thaid," lisped Nellie, "thit thtill,

JIM C0RBETT, BALL PLAYER.
The Ex-Pugiiist Getting Good None
Out of the Game.

Jim Corbett is making tidy bit Of
money this summer as A base ball at
traction. He has been a base ball en-
thusiast for years, and while he was
training for his fights with John l.. Sui
liVan and Charley Mitchell down at
Loch Arbor he used to make daily WIS.,
its to the bicycle track at Asbury Park,
where he would scrape together a
scrub nine" and play on the infield.
1t was there that he developed" his
brother Joe, who is now the star pitch
er of the champion Baltimores.
Jim covers first base and he has
proved such a big attraction that it is
very likely that he and Billy Brady
will have club of their own next sum-
NOR. A little bird whispers that Jims
terms for playing in a game are 5000
certainly and a clever percentage of
the game receipts besides. He is get
ting over the depressed feeling that
he had when he first came east after
losing the championship. He has
about given up all hope of meeting
Fitzsimmons in ring again.

RUGHEY JENNINGS FACE.
The Pluckv shortstop Pays Comp
to His Own Phiz.


"That was a wheel starting jolt that
Hughey Jennings stopped with his face
in New York the other day." said Tom
Brown. Amos Rusie was the pitcher
whose fast curve put Hughey out of
the game a few days. But the game
little short fielder is in again, and 1 am
glad of it. I met him In Baltimore on
Thursday, and referring to his face and
the ball, he cracked a quip on himself:
Tom he said you will notice that the
blow didn't spoil any of my good LOOKS
Now as Hughey has about as hand
some q face as ever ditched freight
train or fractured a Sabbath, you can
see the point of his joke. But that
blow from Rusie ought to teach Jen-
nings to have more respect for the err
ratio and undomesticated offshoots of
twirlers. Jennings can work his base
on balls by sidetracking the ball with
his face, head, or ribs oftener than any
player since Curt Welch. / have seen
Curt Welch's body freckled all over
with black and blue spots, and these
polka dots were painted there by
pitched balls.
when Rusie first came into the ma
jor league he was shy on control, and
the batsmen were afraid of having
their faces deVilled or rib snapped,
and they overlooked many ball that
Amos sent over the plate. 1t may have
been q scheme on Amos part to make
the batsmen afraid of him. / noticed
that he managed to strike out more
batsmen during his first two years in
the major league than any other pitch
er. That ball from Amos wing that
made an unsuccessful attempt to dislo-
cate Hughey Jennings face didn't have
all of the steam-pushing that propelled
those asbestos-blufting curves of the
Hoosier when he first entered fast COM
pany back in 1889"

THE SECOND GAME.

The hitting Of Walters, Griffin, Mas
eey, Bonner and Eagan was chiefly re-
sponsible for the Miners victory in the
second game. though Fields error had
much to do with the four runs in the
sixth. Gray was very easily found for
singles and doubles when opportunity
to score was offered.
In the eighth Buffalo made FIVE runs
and the score 6-S against them. They
did this off Harper's two bases on
balls and four hits for six bases, but
In the last half of that inning singles
by Walters and Griffin, Eagan's double
and Bonner's single earned three runs
and made the game safe

The SHOOTING AT THE JAIL.-Camp-
bell, the Maryland reformatory fugitive,
who was shot in the hip by Warden
John McCuen, while trying to saw his
way out of the Jail here Tuesday night,
will be taken back in the course of q
few days. The Baltimore American
of this morning says Mr.. McCuen has
been severely criticised for shooting the
man. largely because his father, police
man, during fit of nightmare, shot q
brother officer thinking him mad dog,
the wound causing the mans death.
All this is imagination on the part of
the paper referred to, the late James
McCuen being in no wise related to the
warden. Sheriff Palmer states that he
told Mr. McCuen that Campbell had at.
tempted to kill one of his deputies and
to watch him carefully.
