They Hill Meet Again.

She was going to Butte, Montana, and
he was returning home to Blackfoot.
They had never met before that day.
He was returning from the East and oc-
cupied seat No. 5, in the Pullman Lux
emburg, attached TO the Union Pacific
fyer, west-bound for California. She
entered the Pullman at Cheyenne.
There were not many passengers aboard
the Luxembourg that day, and the gen.
tleman from Blackfoot. readily noticed
the entrance of the lady from Butte and
her assignment to seat No. 4. The en-
trance or departure Of passenger from
coach Is nothing new in the history of
travel. People come and go every hour.
and nobody, as rule, unless it be the
conductor, asks them whence they came
or whittier they are going.
The Blackfoot gentleman was enjoy
ing his ease and comfort regardless of
dignity when the Butte lady entered
the car, but as soon as he caught a
glimpse Of her beautiful face and saw
the porter assign her to the seat across
the narrow aisle from him, he straight
ened up and began quietly and as IL un-
consciously to adjust his toilet. More
than one time he cast furtive glance
at the arrangement of his hair and the
set of the little bow at his throat, in the
narrow mirror between the windows.
The Butte lady promptly adjusted her
self for comfort and ease for her long
ride, that was all.
At $3.50 the porter called Laramie and
announced 20 minutes for breakfast.
The Blackfoot gentleman and the Butte
lady sat at the same table in the dining
room. With the exception of passing a
few dishes one to the other not word
was spoken by them. They left the din
ing room together, and as they APP
preached their coach the Blackfoot gen.
tleman "broke the ice" of acquaintance
with commonplace expression which
served as an introduction and which
promises to make them more than ac-
quaiutances as they float down the "Riv-
er of Time"
From Laramie to Green River and
from Green River to Granger when the
curtains TO the berths were drawn and
they spoke the gentle ''good night, !"
their acquaintance ripened as rapidly
as the reddening cherry of the topmost
limb in the warm summers sun. Poets
write of romantic feelings eat first
sight," and of the happiness that fol-
lows as II pointed and directed by the fin
ger OF fate, but THE NEWS holds sacred
a story of the ride Of the newly-made
acquaintances in the Luxembourg from
Laramie to Granger. Trifles are pivots
upon which our lives often turn, and
this days acquaintance and ride may
have its molding influence upon the
lives of our Blackfoot friend and the
lady from Butte. 1t is certain they will
meet again, and it may be that the" -Four
Hundredn of Butte will rejoice with
Blackfoot over days acquaintance on
the Luxembourg of the Union Pacific
flyer from Omaha to California.

AS YE WOULD.

If l should see A brother languishing in sore dis
 tress,
 comfortless When I might be A messenger of hope and happiness How could ask to have what denied In my own hour of bitterness supplied ? If I might sing A little song to cheer a fainting
 heart, And I should seal my lips and sit
 apart When I might bring A bit of sunshine for Iife's ache and
 smart, How could hope to have my grief re-
 lieved If I kept silent when my brother
 grieved? And so I know That day is lost wherein I fail to A helping hand to some wayfaring
 friend, But if it show A burden frightened by the cheer I Then do I hold the golden hours we'll
 spent And lay me down to sleep in sweet
 content. Edith Virginia Brandt in Jewish Comment.

ANSON ANSWERS HANLON.
He Does not Accept or Decline to Take
 Position.

Baltimore, Md, March 3.-Captain A. c. Anson, the famous old Chicago first baseman, has answered Manager Hanlon's letter offering the veteran a position on the Baltimore team.
 Anson neither accepts nor declines the offer, but says that he has not yet decided upon his future plans, and un- til he does he does not care to talk business with any one. After thank ing Halon for his offer and expressing his appreciation of it, Anson writes as follows:
 f'In the event I should care to do business with any club outside of Chi cago I should be pleased to negotiate with you. However, I do not care to do business with any one just at this time.'
 Anson could make more money in business or in the management of some club than the Baltimore club could possibly afford to pay him, and nothing but his great fondness for playing ball himself would be likely to tempt him to come here

As he put his hand in his pocket to find a match the unknown man struck him with the sandbag. Near the grocery store is a long flight of steps leading to a cellar occupied as a coal and wood store by an Italian. It is believed that the man intended to drag MT. Am merman into the cellarway after he had knocked him unconscious and there rob him.

BEATEN BY A HIGHWAYMAN.
A Member of the Harlem Republic can
 Club Attacked in the Street.

New York, March 3.-Louis Ammer- man, who is confidential clerk for carriage firm in Broome street, and lives at No. 209 West One Hundred and Th1rty-first street, reported yesterday to Capt. McClusky, the chief of detec- tives, that he had been assaulted by an unknown man about 1 o'clock Wednesday morning. The assault took place in front of the grocery store of John Owens at One Hundred and Thirty-frst street and Eighth avenue. MT. Zimmerman was twice knocked down by his assailant, who struck him over the head with a heavy weapon, which the police believe was a sand bag, and hit him in the face with b ass knuckles. MT. Zimmerman had an umbrella, which he wielded with tell ing effect. As he fell a second time the man, whose motive was evidently robbery, advanced quickly toward him and was about to do him more bodily injury, when loud sounds were heard coming from the store. The highway man paused for moment and then ran away.
 Some of the blows MT Zimmerman received stunned him for several min utes and sent him sprawling on the sidewalk, but he did not lose con sciousness. After his assailant had fled he had strength enough to rise and walk to his home He suffered from two broken teeth and cuts in the face and head. At the time of the assault MT. Zimmerman was on his way home from the Harlem Republi- can club, of which he is a member He took an Eighth avenue car to One
 Hundred and Thirty-first street and on getting off the car stopped for a

THE BIG LEAGUE.

1 There is a great deal of curiosity
 among the cranks and rooters to know
 which of the $50 applicants for a po- 1 sitiOn on the league staff of umpires 1 will be selected for the dozen places
 that are to be filled. It goes without saying that Emslie and Lynch are sure of their places. Kelly and Carpenter
 will also likely have a chance to de- eide league plays. As retired ball players will have the preference, it should not be very difficult to pick the | other eight players. George Wood the old Detroit and Philadelphia
 player, is an applicant; so is Bob Clark, formerly catcher for the Brook lyns and the Reds. Arlie Latham also has in an application. Tim Keefe wants to try his hand again. Tony Mullane has applied. Every one of
 these men has put in years in the ser vice. Every one of them desrves con-
 sideration. They have outlived their usefulness in active service. Umpir- ing is the only vocation they have to look forward to. Any or all of these veterans in the capacity of umpires | would not only please the base ball public, but receive the indorsement of all the players.
 II dll lu6 plICu0TS III the udUIOQdl 1 league had good command of the ball and a thorough knowledge of a batter's weakness, there would be no occasion l for rule to abolish the bunt hit. It
 would die of hamilton. Let a good pitcher know that batter is bent on | making a bunt, and it is within his
 power to lessen his chances for suc- cessfully accomplishing it. Many Inv hot ters have trouble in making this sim
 pie looking play. The situation was sized up briefly by a player the other day. Any sucker can bunt a low ball, but it takes an artist to touch
 one down from shoulder high,' was
 the players expressive way of put ting it. This is literally true Let pitcher work the batter with a high swift ball, and it requires wonderful knack to hold the bat in the path of the ball in such a way as to make the
 sphere go to the ground. The natural tendency of a swiftly delivered ball touched about shoulder high is to go up in the air. The most scientific of batSmen find trouble in bunting a pitcher who knows his business. The trouble is that so many pitchers lack command. They cannot put the ball
 where they desire to. They may try the high ball against a bunter two or
 three times and get it too high. Then
 they are forced to get it over or suf-
 fer from base on balls. There the
 batter has the advantage. The pitch
 CT thinks of nothing but the plate, get
 ting them over any old way is his ob- Ject, and then the bunter will have a
 chance to touch down a low ball. As
 l said before. command is everything. The high ball is the most effective ball in pitchers repertoire. All the suc-
 cessful Hitx5ers are using it. If a tWirler i.eDVe to get the ball just at or inside the shouder-high limit all the time, he will make success, no mat ter if his assortment of curves and shoots is not a very large one. There are some batters who are high ball hitters, but 80 per cent of the players in the national league prefer a ball waist or knee high
