Named the Nine After Chapman.


Ten dirty and ragged boys, ranging in
age from 9 to IA years. halted in front of
the West Thirtieth street station last
night. says the New York Sun. One who
appeared to be the leader turned to the
others and said:
''Youse mugs stay here while I g'win
an see if Feathers is reoeivin'."
Then the speaker climed the stoop, and,
ambling to the desk, pulled off his hat

The boy twisted about uneasily. II

said finally, and when the sergeant point

Capt. Chapman sat dreaming of the day
when vice would have colony of its own
in the Tenderloin. the boy walked in.
"Capt'n," he said huskily, "dere's a lot

base ball nine after youse"
Well, WELL" said the Tenderloin COM
mander, looking vastly pleased. "They
want to name the nine after me, do they?
Well well; now that's quite an honor. I'll
be gosh darned if l don't let Them" and
he fell to caress.ng his whiskers.
Are yer stringin' me?" asked the boy
suspiciously.

The boy went out and told his compan-
ions the joyful news.
TREE cheers for Feathers" yelled the
leader, and the boys responded in pip
ing treble.

to the inventor his discovery seemed at
the time so trivial that he did not have
1t patented. He had, however, the proud
consciousness that his invention has
saved to mankind an untold amount of
time, besides the bother and worry that
were always incident to old methods of
starting fire. There is, Of course, some
drawback ito all these advantages OF the
match. Their great cheapness at the
present time leads to much carelessness
in their use. Undoubtedly many mys-
terious fires originate from leaving
matches around loose. The phosphorus
with which modern matches are tipped
is attractive to rats and mice, which, If
they have access to matches, will nibble
at them until fire is started, and then
in their fright scatter the blazing matches
on the floors, where they may come in
contact with inflammable substances

The Invention of Matches.

Probably no trivial invention has ever
been of greater advantage to civilization
than that of making lucifer matches.
1t will be surprise to most people that
the man who made this invention and
gave it freely to the public has lived
until the present year. He was Sir
Isaac Holden, Of England, and he
died only few days ago at an ad-
vanced age, between 80 and 80. In
modern life the match is both plentiful
and cheap, and so indispensable that it
is hard for men and women of the pres
ent generation to realize how the world
could get along without it, But it did,
and reasonably well, also, though of
course with much waste of time and
labor that the match now makes unnec-
essary. Striking fire with flint and steel
required supply of tinder to catch and
hold the sparks until they could be
famed into fame. In damp weather the
tinder would also be damp, and it re-
quired patience on the part of the fire
lighter to accomplish his purpose. Now
q dozen matches may be wasted, but
nothing is thought of it, as the matches
are so cheap. 1t was not so when they
were first introduced. They were all
made by hand and dipped in birthstone.
The price was ten to twenty times what
matches of far better quality can be
bought for now. In the economical
habits which then prevailed among
farmers, a box of matches was made to
last long time. Fire was struck with
steel and flint and tinder. Besides, every
care was taken to hold the fire through
the night by covering wood with ashes,
so there would be live GOALS to start the
fire with in the morning.
Millions of dollars have been made by
the making and selling of matches. Yet
