1NGRAT1rUDE OF Ex.coSvrcrs

Bob FitzsinnOns has christened his ba by
Martin Carson Fitzsimmons
The evening times., 1897-12-27

Between trained brains and trained
muscles there is room for argument In his
progressive day, when the .;angc OF
capacity is the ability to earn money. BY
that measure the records of year chow
some not able exceptions to the rule putting
intellectually first.
The most conspicuous case is thlt Iitz-
simmons, whose power at punching, has
earned for him as much as the combined
salaries Of the Presid mt and Vice P-ssi lent
OF the United States. In that instance the
one big bang first that put former Cha .np.on
its owner in the way of en- joyin, an inctme
that the combined intelligence OF the I wo
men holding the first place Jf non1r in
the gift of great nation does not Earn.
Close behind the prize Fighter Fitzsim-
mons comes q midget rider or race horses,
Jockey Tod SD an, whose earniugs through
his skill In thc saddle, put hi m on an equal
ity with President Mckinley. and greatly
excee'l the earnings o. mauyof the foremost
men in the learned professions. Sloln's
earnings are estimated to be not less than
$50 900.
From hands to legs as money ear lers
there Is drop In the scale, but there ere
two pairs or legs now engaged in profess
sional bicycle racing that earn $45. 200.
or these Jimmy Michael's props are the
more valuable. Michael, the small Welsh.
man, admittedly champion or the world at
middle distance paced racing, derived from
the sturdy legs that supper him In double
sense about $4,000 last year.
Eddie Bald has another very valuable pair
OF legs Until 1895 Eddie did not Know
their real worth, for he was counted a
second-rate bicy Gle rider until that year,
when he began TO push wheel faster, md
suddenly found himself champion at short
distance riding. Since that time Eddie
Bald's legs have done their full part in
earning money, and a air average of What
they win for their owner is about $15 ,0GO
a year.
One other II uscular way of earning big
pay is that adopted by Amos Rusie. cham
iion pitcher, and brighter star on the
diamond Iow than he was before he went
into temporary retirement for a year.
The cunning Of Rusie's hanl earned for
him about So 800 last. year, not all OF
which was paid as direct salary, por-
ton having been paid in the shape IF
bonus after a baseball deal and tra lsfer
to the New York club.
The acknowledged champion of the turf
among the twO-year-olds, Hamburg, at
present owned by Marcus DAILY, won dur
ing the season OF 1897 $3s, 500. Ham
burg has been pronounced by turfinen to
tury, and hen sold on private terms re-
Gently the price paid for him was reported |
as $41 900.

TALES OF MARK TWAIN.
The BeIated Wedding Prevent and tho
RumOE of Twsin's Death.

Ans SGA&GSo w S00AnR REG@e0G ana En9
RUnOE of TWSin's Death.
Two good stories on Mark Twain were
told the other afternoon by Rev. Robert
Collyer to a coterie of clubwomen. The
facetiOus man had related the peculiar ex-
perienoes to the fun loving divine during
an outing in the mountains several sum-
mers ago.
On one i'll fated occasion, it seems, Mark
Twain was dereliCt in dispatching we'd
ding gift to some titled people abroad in
whose family a notable marriage was
about to take place. The present was en-
tirely forgotten until the day set for the
ceremony, and then, of course, it ever
lastingIy too late. There came a sudden
happy thought, however, and the OmissiYe
man rushed off to send q compensating
cable to the prospective brides mother,
Baroness Somebody or other, which read
somewhat after this dattering fashion:
Allow me to present my heartiest congratu-
latiOns this most auspdcious occasion.
The wedding in the meantime had been
unexpectedly postponed; but that, as Rud-
yard Kipling is constantly quoted as say
ing, is another story.
The forgetful pen pusher, though prop
erly sorry for the blUnder, cOnsoled him
self that he had made amends by sending
the congratulatOry message. That after
noon a man whom he CHANGED to meet on
the street hopelessly shattered his happi-
ness by saying:
''Of course you saw the sad news in yes
terday's paper about the baron, men
tioning the family name of the foreign
friends.
f'News? What newsp'' asked Mark Twain
nervously
why, the sudden death of the baron, -
was the crushing rejoinder.
Just imagine my feelings, =" desperately
declared Mark Twain in telling the story
on himself, as 1 pictured the bereaved
baroness weeping bitterly by the side Of
her dead husband and being handed that
awful congratulatory cable of mine.''
The second story told by the reverend
gentleman, who loves jokes, to the
effect that one day an overzealous newspa-
per correspondent in England telegraphed
to this country the sudden death of Mark
Twain in an English town. It happened
the well known writer was at that time at
his home in Hartford and in a happy state
of health.
A solicitous friend in London, however,
seeing the same erroneous dispatch, iLnme-
diately cabled to Hartford for particulars.
The message of inquiry came to the much
alive dead man, who sent back this anus
ing answer:
The reports of my death are greatly exag-
gersted. TWAIN.
