ADJUSTMENTS.
KEENE COMING.

One Sunday night last season a dis
tinguished looking gentleman occupied
one Of the boxes at the Grand Opera
House, ST. Paul, MINI. Some thought
ne was William Jennings Bryan, but
he wasn't; chance settled the ques-
ton. One Of the actors, a tramp VIII
liam. on an errand Of murder. very
naturally stopped on the road and in
dulged in fiye-minute funny GU
monolouge and ended up with parady
on a comic song As yard after yard
of Rip Van Wrinkles jokes were reel
ed off the man in the box appeared
uneasy. When the song ended the
actor looked around, helplessly. for
a quick exit, and Advancing to the foot
lights he tragically shouted: "A horse.
A horse! A kingdom for a horse."
and rushed off the stage. Then every
body knew it was Thomas w. Keene
in the box. So enthusiastic was the
audience in their applause that the
great tragedian was forced to stand
up and bow his acknowledgements.
Mr.. Keene will appear at the Opera
House on next Wednesday evening,
the opening Of the season at that
house, in a grand production OF
"Richelieu," supported by that sterling
young actor Charles b. Hanford, and
a strong company of legitimate artists.

Grimes. that good old man, VINO Is
devoting his life to fighting Indians
whether they be the red skins On the
reservations. or the terrors Of the base
ball diamond. made his debut in a
Wheeling uniform yesterday afternoon,
Grimesey did not do his best work in
the first game. He held a trick or
TWO I'D his sleeve. And of tricks
Crimesey has a plenty. He is long,
lean and Ianky, but he has a very
clever head. and a knaek Of mixing his
curves and straight ones, his speedy
and slow balls, in q fashion calculated
10 deceive the best batsmen. Added
to this. he is as cool as a cucumber on
ice. When Ducky Minnehan and all
the other satellites of Captain Cooke
tried to rattle him in the eighth, he
smole a smile-a sweet, sad smile,
which said. more eloQuenuy than in
words-"Its no use, boys, this is your
losing day
Grimesey had not pitched for three
weeks. and during the game he made
the circuit of the bags four times All
this affected his strength, and ne ask
ed Manager Torreyson to take him
out at the end of the sixth inning.
In the eighth Jimmy Lucas relieved
Grimes. and the visitors went out in
one. two. three order. In the next in
ming they managed to SET one single.
Parker was on the slab for Fort
WAYNE. and he was one Of the very
easiest problems the local team mas
been called up9n to solve this season.
For four innings there was a perfect
fusilade of base hits. 1t was started
in the first, when Bradley, Vetters,
Miller Donahue and Shay each pound
cd out a clean one-baser, and the net
result was three runs. In the sec
ond. two errors and a single by Tay-
Tor brought in two more. In the third,
Bradley's base on balls, and singles by
Grimes. Vetters. Miller and DOnahue
swelled the run column to nine. In
the fourth, Torreysou led off with
double. Miller got a life on Fitch's err
ror. Messett sent out a single, and
Grimes lifted the ball over right field
fence for four bags. -Four more runs
With the score 13 TO 1 in favor Of
Wheeling. Goat" Fitch took Parker's
place for the visitors, and held Wheel
ing down to three hits during the re-
mainder Of the game. His wildness
and poor support. however, gave the
home club three more runs.
Fort Wayne's first run was a hit over
right field fence by Campbell. In the
seventh they pounded Grimes for six
singles, which, with the assistance Of
an excusable tumble by Taylor-the
only error in the game on the Wheel
ing side-and three bases on balls,
gave Fort Wayne seven runs. Parker
retired the side on a fly TO Vetters,
The Wheeling players put up gilt
edged game in the field Shay, Tay-
