"Onto His Curves,

Every ball crank knows what pitcher s
curves are, but when the wrinkle was first
discovered there were many Skeptics.
Rusie is acknowledged to be the possessor
of the widest and sharpest curves in the
profession, but, according to veterans,
"Old Hoss" Radbourne, a member Of the
Providence team in 1884, was the greatest
pitcher in America. One day In 1879 Rad
bourne, who was twirling for the Dubuque,
Ia, team under Ted Sullivan's MANAGE
ment, went to La Crosse to pitch a game.
The crowd on the grounds was chiefly
composed of farmers and persons who
were not up to date in curve pitching. al
though the art had been in vogue for ten
years. The umpire was a typical country
man and was inclined to favor his own
team. Radbourne was in fine fettle and
his curves were marvellous. He worked
the corners Of the plate to perfection, but
the umpire would not call a strike unless
the ball went straight over. Finally Rad
bourne made a protest. In a second the
umpire was on his dignity.
see here. yer lantern-jawed feller," he
bawled. 'yer needn't look for any bother
with me! I'm goin' ter give yer snap away!
You're a-pitchin' with trick ball! The

can't hit it! If yer can't pitch the hall

THE LIFE-SAVING SERUM
In Austria and Germany Mortality
From Diphtheria Is Smaller

Vienna-Many lives have been saved in
Austria and Germany alone by the serum
cure; statistics just published conclusivedy
prove this. They are official, SO they can
not be disputed, though the story reads
like the panegyrics of a quack. Hedlserum
was ostensibly a specific for diphtheria,
and forewarned by the failure of Koch's
tuberculine, the world treated with sus-
picion the new weapon that was to fight
the Wurgengel of the little ones. But
Behring's discovery was gradually ac-
cepted, when it became known that every
where the death rate from diphtheria had
been greatly reduced.
DR.. Kammerer states that from 1885 to
1894, 119,03S people died in German towns
having 15O00 or more nhabitants, or II, ,O94
yearly, a death rate of 1869 per cent for
every 10000 inhabitants. Heilserum came
into use in 1895. The death rate In that
year was only 5.4 per cent. The statistics
for Vienna show that the death rate down
to 1894 was 1913 for every 1000 inha bitants.
whereas the cases of diphtheria and Group
ending fatally in 1895 and 1896 were reduced
to 4.35 per cent. 1t is remarkable circum-
stance that the number of cases of children
attacked has diminished steadily since
1895.
The public, too, is no longer harassed
with the fears that were at first enter
tanned regarding the alleged danger at
tending the administration of serum. It is
considered now to be as harmless as any
other specific prescribed for dangerous
maladies.-Pall Mall Gazette.

At a largely attended meeting of San
Diego Republicans Saturday evening
Grant club was formed and 160 voters
signed the roll. The purpose is to promote
the candidacy of U. S. Grant for the
United States senate.
Yesterday morning a train Of ten empty
cattle cars was ditched near Waverly sta
ton, six miles west of Milton, by a broken
rail. None of the railroad men were in
jured, but traffic on the Stockton and
Coppperopolis road will be delayed.
At the Union Coursing park at San
Francisco yesterday Curtis & Sons cap
tured practically the first three prizes and
took 1895 of the s640 stake. Rosette, Cav
alier and Chartist were the money win
ners.
On Saturday night William Speckter of
San Francisco, aged 19. was crushed to
death by the big elevator in the Mechan-
les pavilion. He was trying to gain ad-
mittance to a masquerade ball by climb
ing up the elevator shaft, when he acci-
dentally pulled wire rope, which caused
the cage to descend on him.
The statement was published the other
day that there were 200 cases of typhoid
fever in Sacramento. Health Officer Dr.

were reported in February, and there was
one death. He says there are not a dozen

CONVENTION OF ENDEAvoRERs
Detroit Is Trying to Secure the Inter-
national Gathering in 1899

Next years convention of the Young
Peoples Society Of Christian Endeavor
will be held in Detroit, provided $25, 900
is forthcoming. The city is now putting
forth strenuous efforts to raise a guar
antee fund for the international conven-
tion of 1899. The trustees have already
voted to go there, contingent upon the
fund being either in hand or in sight,
but the raising of it Jagged until taken
up short time ago by one of the local
papers. The appeal for the money is
put upon purely commercial basis,
that these visiting Christians are
bound to leave with butcher, baker and
candlestick maker good many dollars,
to get which the merchants and others
ought to be willing to invest something.
The shopkeepers of San Francisco es-
timated last year that they got out of the
Endeavorers $1,5O00OO, and this in spite
of the high railroad rates many of the
visitors had paid. The convention at
Detroit is expected to be far larger than
either the San Francisco one last year
or the Nashville one this year.-Chicago

A Lesson in Manners

Frank Carson was taught lesson in
manners yesterday afternoon that he is not
likely to forget in long time. While sl-
toxicated he went to the Palm lodging
house on East Fifth street in quest of n
friend. In his irresponsible condition he
wandered into room of a female odger
and insulted her. He left her room and
found his friend. When he came out of the
house, he was met by two male friends of
the woman who warned him that he must
apologize to her. This Carson refused to
do, and Immediately both men attacked
him. They did him up In artistic style
from pugiistic standpoint, and at the
end or the first round Carson was glad to
make his escape. He applied at the receiv-
Ing hospital, where his bruised face and
lacerated head were dressed by DR.. Hagan.

vices for the Japanese who died on the
Maine were held last night at the Japanese
club in Brooklyn. The services were in
Japanese, and were conducted by the Rev.
Hrose, pastor of the Japanese Mission
church, Brooklyn.
K. Kushida and f. A. Wa, two of the
survivors of the terrible explosion, were
present, and they told at length in their
native tongue the story of the awful night
in Havana harbor. The recitals dwelt al
most wholly with their personal experience
and shed no light on the cause of the ex-
plosion though both of them believe firmly
that the ship was blown up by the Span
iards.
The sermon was delivered by the Rev.
Mr.. Hirose, and a eulogy on the dead by
A. 1shada, one of the prominent club mem
bers. There are about 100 members of the
Japanese club, and they are enthusiastic
for war. The general sentiment among
them is in favor of an alliance between
Japan, England and the United States to
conquer the world. Great enthusiasm
was caused by some of the remarks of the
speakers, which, one of the members ex-
planned, were in favor of such an alliance
