Bvmping posts OF earth are used
with success in place of the usual wood
and iron humping posts on many of
The spur tracks and blind sidings Of
The Pennsylvania Railroad. These
earth humping posts consist of heap
Of compacted clay or gravel about ten
feet long and five feet high, placed in
the usual location at the end of the
track. These heaps of earth offer
sufficient resistance to stop the car and
at the same time are yielding enough
to prevent any great damage to it's
buffer blocks and draught rigging.
After the collision the humping post
is repaired by the section men, who
simply replace the dislodged earth
with their shovels.

Deacon Ellis the Victim.

Deacon" Ellis, of the Grand Rap
ids club, figured in an amusing Incl
dent at the Western League meeting.
Grand Rapids and Columbus were the
two clubs that came to the meeting
not knowing whether or not they were
to be kept in the circle for another
year. Omaha, Des Moines and Toledo
were applicable for the places.
About the time that the others had
decided to keep the circuit intact, Pres
ident Johnson saw the opportunity for
a little fun. The application for a
franchise in Des Moines was men
toned, and Mr.. Johnson appointed Ell
lis and LOTUS committee to go down
stairs, find the Iowa applicants, and
bring them up to the meeting. The
committee arose. At the door Lotus
was detained few moments, while
Ellis went down stairs.
When Lotus got down to the CORR
dor the absurdity of appointing him
self and Ellis committee to hunt the
men who were after their franchises
having readily occurred to him, he was
amazed to see Ellis running in and
out OF the various halls, down in the
basement and everywhere else. hunt

Moines men. why, you ninny," said

Ellis looked little sheepish, and

the meeting, saying that the commit

the other day in two suits decided by
the Court of Appeals. The first was
the suit of the old Athletic base ball
club OF Philadelphia against the st.

ISOLATION. which has been pending for
several years. The suit was for dam
ages for Won der Ahe's failure to car
~ out contract to play an exhibition
game with the Athletics in September,
1888. The judgment of the lower court
for $500 damages is sustained The
other case was suit by Clement
Whirlwind and other Sioux Indians for
salaries due, and decides the status of
the Indian in civil courts. Won der Abe
backed wild west show two years
ago that was loser. and refused to
pay the Indians when the show burst.
In the first trial Won der Abe admitted
all the material facts, but claimed the
Indians had no standing before a civil
court while off their reservation. The
Court of Appeals held directly against
him.

Tommy DOwd's HOPES,

Won der Abe and Dowd fully realize
they must set to work at once if they
expect to have even fair team to rep
resent St. Louis next season. Dowd is
still in correspondence with Manager
Selee of the Boston club, and an ad-
vantageous deal may yet be made
with that club. Selee is very anxious
to secure either Mcfarland or Murphy,
of the local team. and in exchange will
offer Second Baseman McGann and
Pitcher Dola1. Dowd will not consent
to that trade, but as Selee is so per-
sistent in his efforts to secure one OF
the Browns catchers he will probably
enlarge his offer to Dowd.

proved that he was neither prevarica.
tor nor vain boaster. for his promise
was more than kept, and he afforded
a genuine surprise to even his warmest
admirers. In this act Mr.. Cranes make
up as Elisha Cunningham, the victim of
wall street speculation, was an artis-
tic triumph. and his bearing, walk and
and speech assisted in creation alb
solutely homogeneous and perfect in
every detail. His performance was flaw
less. and It's humor and pathos were so
delicately blended as to maintain the
continuous outflow Of sympathy. For
the first time Mr. Crane was thorough
ly disguised. not a trace of old manner
isms remaining. There were probably
few hearts in the audience that were
not strongly moved by his acting. for
Its strongest characteristic was it's alb
solute truthfulness, and in this 1t
reached the point of genuine pathos. 1t
was. as he had claimed, a strong char
acter portrayal; one of which any actor
might have been proud: one that can
not but enhance the fame of Mr.. Crane.
and which at present stands upon rec
ord as the triumphal effort Of his
career. His support was excellent. each
member Of the company deserving COM
mendation for intelligent and careful
work. Especial praise is. however, due
to Percy Brooke for an excellent char
acter sketch Of Cunningham's nervous
partner, and to Edwin Arden In a re-
fined dialect role, The play was hand
somely staged and should prove one Of
Mr.. Cranes most valuable possessions.

good is young. beautiful, spirited and
favOrite in New York society. While
all this Is true it Is also fact that 1t
Is not Mrs. Bloodgood's ambition to
burst all at once as a star on the the
atricai horizon. Mrs. BloodgOod Is ac-
tually willing to begin at the very bot

is very fortunate in that she is not
swallowed up by an ambition to begin

Dan Frohman, who has given her

in the habit Of giving engagements to
society ladies that are stage struck. 1t
matters not how rich Tor poor they
may be. Mr.. Frohman has long since
learned that actors are largely made.
