Baseball Notes.

Chance. Chicago's new catcher. has one attainment
that is almost sensational. No more rapid or accu-
rate throwing is possible than he has shown in prac-
tice.
''Cy' Swain. the big Washington pitcher, has de-
cided to return to his Ohio home and quit baseball
this season. He thought he was worth 81. 500 for the
season. but J. Earle Wagner would only give him
half that amount.
Tommy Burns has christened his Chicago team
THE Maroons.'' This reminds one OF the unfortunate
st. Louis team of that name which had a precarious
existence in the league in 1855 and 1855. and was
transferred TO Indianapolis.
While President Nick Young has announced that
the names of the twelve umpires selected for the COM
ing season would not be made public until the OPEN
ing games. 1t has been learned from the best Of au-
thority that the men chosen are: Emslie, Lynch.
Mcdonald. O'Day. Connolly. Heydler. Woods. Snyder,
Charles Cushman, Curran. Swartwood and Andrews.
Peter Ed Dowd. who was drafted from the Newport
club by Brooklyn. has sent a letter to President Eb-
bits, in which he says he expects to graduate from
the Harvard medical school In June and will imme-
diately open a practice. He says that he never had
any intention of playing in the National League, and
that the Newport club had no right to sell him to
Brooklyn.
The playing Of favorites was one Of the causes that
led to the downfall of Uncle Arson. and there are
other managers and captains who have a penchant for
showing a Partially in favor of special pets. Don't
play favorites. Just handle 'em as though they were
SO many men on q checker board. and you can't help
winning out" was Charley Comiskey's advice to bud
ding managers.-Chicago Record.

HINTS TO ATHLETES.
Keeping the Body in Good
Condition.

Never continue exercise long enough to
produce fatigue. Stop when you feel tired.
Don't over-exert yourself to gain mus
Gle. Remember that every muscle has its
limits, beyond which it canno be devel-
oped.
Indian clubs are the most effective for
giving one grace. ease and accuracy of
movement, features which every athlete
should strive to cultivate.
Bicycling has become a popular exercise
and undoubtedly furnishes. in addition to
muscular development, great exhilaratioa.
Dumb-bells. if properly used. strengthen
the muscles of the arms and incidentally
those of the body and legs. They also OK
pand the chest n broaden the shoulders
After exercise a cool shower spray or
bath hould be taken. not to last more
than one or two minutes. and should be
followed by a brisk rub to tone up the
system n encourage the circulation of
the blood. Some pure stimulant should
also be used. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
is used by prominent athletes for this pur-
pose and is highly recommended.
1t should be noted. however, hat only
a pure and medicinal malt like Duffy's will
be of service. Ordinary whiskey will not
answer the purpose and you should be GER
tain to secure the genuine.

Ethnology of kissing.

From the London Mail.
The kiss was unknown among the abo-
riginal tribes of America and of Central
Africa. From the most ancient times.
however. 1t has been familiar to the Asiatio
and European races. The Latins divided
it into three forms-the osculum, the basil
UNI and the suaviolum-the first being the
kiss Of friendship and respect. the second
Of ceremony and the third Of love. The
Semites always employed the kiss. and Job
speaks of 1t as part of their sacred rites.
as 1t Is to-day in the Roman Catholic
church.
The Monaghan kiss is not the same as
that which prevails with us. In 1t the lips
do not come into actual contact with those
of the person kissed. The nose is brought
into light contact with the cheek. forehead
or hand; the breath is drawn slowly
through the nostrils. and the act ends with
a slight smack of the lips. The Chinese
consider our mode of kissing most detest-
able. We on our part regard their method
with equal disdain.
Darwin and other naturalists rave at

Of the lower animals who seize their prey

SAM IS PARTICULAR.
The Men Who Fight His Battles
Must BE Physically
SNnnA

If it should happen that the impending
war between the United States and Spain
is averted the men of the Third regiment.
N. G.. NJ, will at least know something of
the stringent physical and other require
ments Uncle Sam makes of the men who
go to the front for active service. There
was an atmosphere of unusual gravity in
the armory last night, when Companies
K and 1 met for their regular Monday
night drill. For the first time since the
regiment was organized and since the pres
ent acute condition Of affairs with Spain
regiment on a fighting basis in accordance
with the United States army regulations
was begun last night. Major ]. n. Jack
son, surgeon of the regiment, was in at
of one ompany were being put through
various maneuvers, the men of the other
filed into his office in the armory, where
they were made to strip and undergo a
rigid physical examination.
On each night during the present week
the remaining companies of the regiment
will undergo a similar examination. 1t is
likely that at least fifty men will be found
to fall short Of the physical examination.
They will be honorably discharged. but
made up by the addition of new men. the
number of applications having steadily
grown since the talk Of wal began. The
result of last nights examination will not
be made public until the entire regiment
has been submitted to the required physic-
al tests. Major Jackson would not give an
opinion as to how many men might fail to
pass the examination. but another officer
said:
1T would be strange if. among 100 men.
less than fifty should fail to come up to the
extremely rigid physical requirements Of
the army."

A FURRY IN STOCKS.
Kansas City Spectators Reap a Rich
Harvest by a Sudden Upward
Movemen of Stocks.

The wild advance in stocks on the New
York and Chicago stock markets yester-
day had It's counterpart in the Kansas City
market. 1t was on a smaller scale here
but the advance was just as terrific and
a good deal of money changed hands. to
the joy of som and sorrow of others. 1t
was said last night that one commission
firm in the Exchange building lost $4,000
on the days deals. This would not be
corroborated by any member of the firm.
Another firm in the Exchange building
lost s.. 900 on the day up to within fifteen
minutes of the closing time. and made up
all of 1t except 500 in those few minutes.
The stock market had been forced with
in the last few weeks from a high point
to an extremely low one because of the
to s1O7 in the last ten or twelve days. Man
haitian broke from sos a share to $50. To-
bacco fell from 80 to 81 in the same time.
The whole list of stocks was affected but
those mentioned were the most actively
dealt in here. The wheat market was
affected in the same way. July wheat
broke from 81 to 81, a fall of 13 cents a
buShel.
Yesterday the stocks rallied suddenly in
sympathy with the New York and Chicago
markets.. The spectators Of Kansas City
on the rally all had to buy to save further
loss. Sugar went up from los to 122 and
closed at III.
The markets of this city are controlled
entirely by those of New York. The slight
est rumor of war or peace is enough now
to affect the market and makes speculat-
ing in stock even more risky than usual.

DRESS OF CHICKEN SKINS.
Remarkable Gown Designed and
Worn by q Fashionable
Parfafenne.

An evening dress mad entirely of chick
en- skins has been on exhibition in one of
the fashionable establishments of Paris
during the past week. This startling and
unique garment was made for Nine. Theo
Montbaude. a fashionable Parisienne. The
remarkable thing about this dress is its
remarkable beauty and its durability. True.
it was worn but once by Nine. Montbaude,
at a grand ball given by the Russian am
bassador in Paris. but no other garment at
that gorgeous affair aroused half so much
admiration as the frock of chicken skin.
To appreciate the beauty of the dress it
must be known that not less than 500 pieces
OF tanned skin were used in the making OF
the skirt and bodice alone.
When the work of making the dress
proper was finished several yards of the
delicate skin material was used for the
ruffieS at the bottom of the skirt and the
puffs at the shoulders. The task complet-
of the most skilled decorative artists in
France, Edmond Gillett. who painted upon
the precious garment, in exquisite cOlors
and with a superb effect, great punches of
pink and red roses and a rocco decoration
extending from the belt down the entire
en- feathers and a belt of the same ma
terial. and these completed the most re-
markable dress ever worn by woman. The
cost of the gown was. of course, great
nearly touching the $1,000 mark in Ameri-
can money.
The slaughter of chickens necessary to
the making of this garment was greater
than the number of fowls required to COM
plete the dress. for a selection was made
from an enormous quantity of birds. which,
%fections for the purpose, were Immediate
ly cast aside.

A Boys Article.

From Times and the Hour.
1t was over ERst Cambridge way. Mrs.
Gormley was a woman of vigor. She
ruled the neighborhood with a rod of iron.
Her strident voice proclaimed the Law, and
all obeyed-aM save one.
One day Johnnie, whose home adjoined
that of Mrs. Gormley. was sent by his
mother to rescue a hen that had fallen
into a cesspool at the rear of the house.
This had accidentally been left opea. John
ME did not like the job. He saw Mrs.
Gormley at her open window. with sleeves
tucked up. kneading a batch of bread with
a degree of violence that promised light
and creamy loaves. He went over and
told her that one of her hens was in the
pool. She made a dash. threw herself upon
the ground. reached down and hauled out
the fiuttering bird, getting literally spat-
tered. Then she made for the pump and
proceeded to wash the hen.
A liberal stream soon revealed its ident-
ity. 1t was no\ hers. 1t belonged to her
opposite neighbSr, her enemy, the shoe
maker. No words can describe her wrath,
nor her yell of indignation. She threw the
bird from her and returned to the house.
Johnnie is to-day a stalwart man, bearded
like a pard. He has serious work in hand,
and many come and go at his call. But
just mention Mrs. Gormley and her hen.
The old boyish twinkle comes back to his
eye; his face broadens and reddens. and
then comes a gurgling. He fairly "chor-
ties" .a-,i

NEWEST CUT IN DIAMONDS.
Fashion DEGREES That the Up-to-Date
Gem Should Be Long and
Pointed.

There is a new cut in diamonds. With
the ever changing mode in all things. gems,
too. have their turn, and by those who
can afford the luxury new jewels and the
latest designs are al absolute diversion, If
not a necessity.
At present diamonds of this new style are
not cut in this country. but come from
France ready for setting. long and oval
almost identical in shape with the Mar
quise ring). and are set alone. No circle Of
stones is added to the new cut, they must
be solitaire.
AS with all new things. they are ex-
pensive. In the cutting much of the stone
is taken off in order to make the pointed
ends. The facets are mes: beautifully cut.
and often smaller or finer than is usual.
Thus they catch every ray of light. This
makes the stones particularly brilliant.
TIL least possible gold or platinum is used
in mounting these gems. as it Is not intend
ed that anything shall detract from their
beauty.
II is in rings exclusively that this new
shape is used. They vary in price accord
ing to weight. from $500 to 5000. Only
the whitest and purest diamonds are avail
able in this style. and. Notwithstanding
their expense. all Of those which recently
arrived in New York from Paris have been
sold.

John Butner was born in 1882 and was one
of the most widely known and popular
citizens of Kansas City. He was a long
time friend of Ex-Governor Stone and when
the latter was elected to be chief magis-
trate of the state his first appointee in
this district was Mr.. Butner. who was
made coal oil inspector. Mrs. Butner. who
has been dead for several years. was a
sister of Sidney McWilliams. "a director of
the Citizens National bank. Colonel George
w. Warder. who built the Auditorium. is
a brother-in-law of the deceased. Mr.. But
ner was an enthusiastic fisherman and
found his greatest pleasure when. with a
few chosen friends. he could devote a day
to his favorite sport. At the time of his
death he was a commission dealer in
horses and mules through several Grand
avenue firms. Last Friday he returned to
his home from a business trip through
Kansas. the greater part of which he made
on horseback. resulting in complications of
an old ailment which necessitated the
operation from which he could not rally.
