ANECDOTES ABOUT NANsEN.
Learning to Run on SiSis-First I'm.
preston of Icebergs.

In letter received in Paris, a Nor
wegian, Mr.. Thornbjoorn, gives some
unpublished anecdotes about Nansen,
with whom he has been acquainted
from early youth says the London
Daily News. Nansen would never have
become the famous Arctic explorer
without his snowshoes, which carried
him across Greenland. Mr.. Thorn
bjoorn tells Nansen's own story of
how he as boy learned to run on
skis:
81 had (said Nansen) several pairs of
skis, but they were not real skis My
father and 1 cut them out of old snow
shoes, and the two were not even of a.
length. Mr.. Fabritius, the printer
took pity on me and promised me a
new pair. This was toward the end of
winter. Then spring came on and then
summer, when of course any skiloob-
ming (ski running) was out of the cues
ton, but Mr.. Fabritius' promise kept
ringing in my ears and soon as au-
tumn came on and the fields began to
grow white I asked him:
"'When shall L have my skis?'
''Mr. Fabritius, laughing, replied:
You shall have them, but not to-
day
Showing me parcel he said 1t was
for me and it came from Paris, but
this was a f1b. The skis were in the
parcel. To describe my joy is impos-
sible. 1t was fine pair of snowshoes
in ash, Vanished with black lines.
Although 1t was forbidden 1 went off
straight to the Huseby bakken, where
the races of the skilobers (slli runners)
are held. 1 started from the middle
of the rise and all went well, but
seeing other boys take their start from
the top of the hill I thought I must do
the same. Off I slid. 1 reached the
obstacle 1 was to jump and I was flung
into the air for several seconds, which
appeared centuries to me, until at
last 1 was shot into a heap Of snow
neck deep. The other boys thought at
first 1 had broken my neck, but as
soon as they saw there was nothing
the matter they began to chaff me and
the hill rang with outbursts of laugh
ter at my awkwardness.'
Nansen took the lesson to heart and
the effect was to make him a thorough
master in the art of Skiing.
Nansen's first impression of icebergs
is worth telling. On the advice of his
medical attendant, Professor Collett,
he took passage in 1882 on the sealer
Viking.
"It was,' says Nansen, con a dark
night of March, 1882, that we met the
first iceberg 1 ever saw, not far from
Jan Mayen. L ran on the deck and
looked forward, but could distinguish
nothing, because it was as dark as
in an oven. Suddenly a white mass
came out of the shade and seemed to
grow in size by degrees. The white
ness of this mass became wonderful
in contrast with the blackness of an
inky sea. The mass seemed to roll
upon the crest of the waves. Then
other icebergs came in sight shining
at a distance, passing near us with
loud noise and disappearing. Then 1
saw curious glow on the sky south
ward, rising almost up to the zenith,
but most brilliant on the horizon /
had not noticed it before Then I
heard a strange murmur toward the
north, somewhat like the roar of break

DENOUNCED BY SOUTHERN JUDGE
Gambling and Carrying Firearms
Subject of q Grand Jury Charre

Judge Robert Falligant held a crowd
ed court room in rapt attention the
other day in Savannah with one of the
most forceful charges to the grand Jury
that has been heard, says the New
York World. The excessive number Of
murders committed in the community
recently, the habit of court officers ar
resting the poor for debt, the alleged
prevalence of gambling and the evil
tendencies of the times were the text.
II there be one place on earth where
such an outrage as the arrest of a
free-born citizen for debt should not
be tolerated." said Judge FalIigant,
surely that place is Savannah, set
tied in the outset by men who fled from
their mother country for refuge from
this same Ubiquitous method Of perse-
cution"
Speaking Of the alleged prevalence Of
gambling, Judge Falligant said:
Gambling is the most formidable OF
vices, for the reason that it is the most
oifncult to be kept down by the courts
OF justice. We hear that there are
gambling places here and there about
the CITY, and that Mr. So-and-So ia
being robbed, but when we ask for the
names of Mr.. So-and-So the reply is a
snake Of the head and a shrug Of the
shoulders and the exclamation: oh,
but they are gentlemen, and I cannot
give their namesp
1t may be that gambling is the vice
OF gentleman" continued the Judge.
put 1t is at the same time a vice that
makes gentlemen scarce in a. commu-
nifty. 1t is vice that is so enchant-
ing to the young that they are com
PIetely enslaved by it. 1t is a vice that
TOO often turks behind the pages of
the business mans ledger, and sends
young men and old, trusted employees.
upon whose shoulders and whose honor
rest the hopes of our business interests
of to the jails and penitentiaries.
Rererrlng to the extraordinary
amount Of lawlessness recently Judge
Falligant said: Gentlemen of t6e
jury, this carrying of concealed weap-
ons is a violation Of the laws that
should receive your careful attention.
Look around you and see the crimes
that nave been heralded in the newspa-
pers lately-crimes which would put to
shame some of the lurid deeds in the
Wild frontiers. You will see that thew
are prec1p1tated by the carrying of piS
tolls. The man who has a pistol in his
pocket and too much whisky in his
stomach is the greatest enemy of the
law that L know of, for it is that man
VINO commits the gravest of crimes.
Under the heat of unholy passion AMI
the spell of anger, jealousy, hate and
All the emotions which give birth to
disgrace, how easy it is for him with
the pistol at his fingers reach to take
the life of his fellow man and demand
OF the court to take his own in shame
and disgrace upon the gallows, If he
mad not the pistol at the time the act
would not have been committed in
many instances-in nearly every in
stance-for when reason is restored
AFTER drunkenness anger finds express
sion IN humble apologies, while enc
mics unite and friends find friendship
fonder. Thus these, the most heinous
ohenses against law and justice, NAV
be attributed in nearly every Instance
to the carrying of weapons"

DOINGS OF THE AMATEURS.

The Wilmots and the Yerxa base ball teams
crossed bats at the cd athletic park, on the
West side, yesterday afternoon. The Wilmots
took to Pitcher McGillicuddy's curves very
nicely in the first few innings, but after that
they could not find him. Stovn pitched fine
game for the Wilmots, striking out seventeen
men. The score was IA TO II. in favor Of
the Wilmots. The features of the game were
the sensational fielding and batting of Tim
Lynch, OF the Wilmots. The batteries were:
Stovin and Babcock, McGi!licuddy and Nc
Flanagan; umpire, Mork.
The Dreis easily defeated the Young Spar
rows yesterday afternoon. The feature of the
game the batting of the Dreis. Score by
innings:
Dreis . ....1O 1 0 *23
Young Sparrows :. 0 0 2 3 8 Oil
The Crawfords defeated club composed of
the Spaldings. Hamm's Exports and Excel
siors in a one-sided game, yesterday, by the
score of 10 to 3d. The feature of the game
was the pitching of Smith and the fielding of
Rogers. Struck out, by Smith IA, by Powers

duced to play two games next Tuesday, Aug.
81, and forego the Monday game, the deal
will probably go through all right.
Hollingsworth's play was in marked con-
trast to that of the day before. He took ten
chances without skip
Cross was batted hard in one inning. but
aside from that he appeared to advantage
1t must be conceded that the Hoosiers are
stronger with the stick than in any year
since the league was organized.
There will be few ball players more popular
next year than Mike Kahoe. He has hardly
had work enough this year to make the fans
up and down the circuit know him. He is a
hard worker, and with enough of the reckless
IN him to face overwhelming odds as bravely
as to mix up with an even score
McBrides leg is improving little, but he
Is still little lame.
Isbell will be a fixture in the outfeld, for
the present at least:
Gillen's throwing to first is the delight of
the fans
The Hooseirs would not put player in to
umpire. This was lucky for them, and for
st. Paul. He might have lost the Saints the
game, and certainly would have lost himself
the friendship of his team mates had he tried
to be fair.
Anyhow, st. Paul doesn't have to play but
four more games with Indianapolis
The Indianapolis Paul series now stands
9 to in favor of the former. The Indians
will no doubt win the series, as the other four
games are to be played in Indianapolis.
The umpiring of Nyce was pretty bad in
spots, but there was really no occasion for
the delay of the game by the Indians on &C
count of the showers 1t never rained so
hard that a regular umpire would have
stopped the game. Besides, this was the last
chance to play the game, as the teams do
not meet here again.
The game was chiefly remarkable for the
beautiful fielding of Hollingsworth.
! Foreman quit at the end of the third inn
ing to give Kellum chance to see what he
could do in a shower. The youngster &C
quilted himself very creditably.
President Johnson has reduced Burnett's
| fine of 500, which was imposed for assaulting
Umpire Ebright, and fixed the amount at $25.
This will allow the player to draw salary

Gambling Women.

A very noticeable and unpleasans
faature of the Ostend Kursaal is the
number OF women who are to be seen
gambling there. English women
take the lead as heavy players. Inc
NIGHTLY scenes at the. Kursaal are OF
startling nature. A correspondent
writes from Ostend to an English
newspaper:
"As Monts Carlo tho maximum
stake is nine napoleons on a roulette
number. Here at the Ostend Kur-
saal, one can so up to 800 franes,sand
Il is calculated that 800 900 francs can
he won at stroke. At Trente es
ouarante the maximum Is l2,ooo
francs, but the croupiers often permit
a supplementary stake OF 6oOo francs.
It should be added that while at Monte
Carlo You can only play with gold, al
Ostend counters are allowed up to q
value Of 5000 francs, and certain well
known persons obtain almost unllm
tied credit from the bank. l remem
Der seeing four players at once whe
mt the maximum of IL, 00o francs
each turn, and this went on for hours
nobody putting himself out IN tn
| least. while at None Carlo the fact 0
a player risking the maximum IS al
ways publicly announced. =,
1Unfortunately it Is always tn
fair sex who chiefly cultivate the tast
for gambling this year. The Englis
ladies take the lead and are closer
followed by the Germans. 1t is
scandal which it is high time Shout
be stopped"
