CUsTER'S LAST CHARGE.
Col. COdy's Mastery Reproduction
of the Battle on the Little
Big Horn.

In addition to its many other entirely
original and remarkable features. on
May and 10. Buffalo Bits Wild West
end Congress of Rough Riders of the
World will present here for the first
time, an immense. magnificent. and
amazingly realistic spectacular and tab
leau reproduction of Clusters last and
dreadfully fatal battle on the Little Big
Horn. In this stupendous and life-like
revival of the heroic and narrowing incl
dents of the most calamitous event in
all the sanguinary records of border war
fare, some eight hundred soldiers, scouts
plainsmen, genuine Sioux warriors, and
horses are introduced. some of the saw
ege participants having actually been
present at the Custer massacre, and the
horses being taught to most realistically
simulate death on the battlefield. The
opening scene reveals an Indian village
with its inhabitants wildly celebrating a
recent victory. While they are thus en-
gagged, a scout takes in the situation
without being discovered and reports to
Gen. Custer. who Instantly and furiously
charges with his battalion upon the red
devils. Terribly mistaken as to the num-
Der of the foe, his command is enveloped
in an overwhelming horde of savages
and after a desperate burt hopeless strug-
gle, annihilated. the closing tableau rep
resenting his death on an eminence to
which he and the remnant of his COM
mand are driven. Col. Cody, with re-en-
forcements arrives on the field of mas
sacre and desolation too late to be of
service. The opportunities afforded for
heroic action and all the electrifying dis
plays of mounted combat are fully util-
lied. and the result is beyond descrip-
fion.

Brooklyn, May 6.-After the Washing
tons had made a run in the ninth on
Browns base on balls, a steal and Wrig-
ley's single. the Brooklyns began their
hard uphill fight which ended SO glor-
iously. Sheckard began the rally with
a hot single to left. but was forced by
Shindle. Tom Tucker came along with a
'bingle'' to center and Hallman filled the
corners with a scratch. The crowd began
to realize that there was a chance to do
something, and everybody rooted as
broadway Smith came up. He waited
patiently q moment and then threw his
strength into smash that was a
corker. The ball sailed far over the fleet
footed Browns head and rolled under the
picket fence in center field. Shindie.
Tucker and Hallman dashed across the
plate in rapid succession and Smith, after
a hard run, was stopped by the coachers
as he reached third base. The drive prac-
tically broke Amo1es heart, but he kept
at his work. and threw out Anderson,
who batted for Miller. while Smith scored
and received an ovation.
The score was 9 to s and two were out.
but still the Brookiyns stuck to the JOB
with grim determination Griffin slapped
a single to center and Jones received
four balls. LaChance then came up with
his heavy bat and the cranks. remember
ing how he won last Mondays game from
Philadelphia in the ninth inning, begged
him to repeat the trick. The big fellow
was cool and calculating as he waited for
a good ball, but the crowd was so excited
that everybody indulged in the old habit
OF giving advice. Amole was clearly
nervous and finally. when he shot the
ball over the plate he met his Waterloo.
for La Chance hit 1t on the seam and 1t
shot out into right field like a cannon
ball. Gettman hustled after the leather
for all he was worth, but It hit the fence
and bounded away from him. Griffin had
tied the score and Jones was now racing
around from first in a desperate effort to
score the winning run. Gettman finally
corraled the sphere and let 1t drive back
to the plate with an aim that was first
class, but Jones, in a last heart-breaking
burst of speed. rushed over the rubber

Telephone Line. Disabled.

The police telephone wir.s were rem
dered entirely useless to a majority of
the stations last night. This electric phe-
nomenon was caused. 1t is stated, by a
powerful current from one of the under
ground street railway systems escaping
during the rainfall by way of water or
sewer pipes and overcoming the weaker
current employed for telephone purposes.
The telephone lines of the Chesapeake
and Potomac Company were similarly af-
fected, but in a lesser degree, and con-
versation could be carried on over them
with some difficulty.
