The Wheeling series of the inter-city
bowling contest between Wheeling and
Pittsburg teams was won by the home
team at Fettes alleys in walk, hav-
ing 623 pins the best of it. The Pitts
burg boys put up a poor argument in
all but the last game, in which they
started off in the lead, but were over
come by the Wheeling boys in the
second frame, and gained from them on
in every frame The Pittsburg boys
lost the series, but left a good i'm
preston on the large attendance by
the gentlemanly manner in which they
took defeat. After the games, Captain
Charles C. Vey, of the visitors, invited
the entire audience to accompany the
Wheeling boys on their trip to Pitts
burg next Sunday, insuring them all a
good time, and from their actions while
in Wheeling, they certainly proved
themselves equal to the task.
Following are the scores that tell
the welcome story:

hesitaas to recommend it1 adoption buf
for the obligation Of protection on tha
part OF the United States which it
seems to imply"
This obligation Of protection" was
afosrward modified by the Senate,
which then ratified the treaty, which
in turn was accepted by the Samoan
chief, the final treaty was signed on
January Z, 1878, and the Publications
exchanged on February Is, by which
the right to establish at Pago-P Page a
station for coaling, naval supplies,
freedom OF trade. commercial treatment
as a favored nation. and extra territor-
ial consular jurisdiction were secured
to the United States.
Commercially the island is Of some
value in It's relation 70 transportation.
between the United States and Asia
and oeeanica, though unimportant IS
to local production or consumption, the
entire importation Of the samoan group
being but a half million dollars annu-
ally, the bulk coming from the Aus
tralian colonies, the nearest sources of
supply. while the United States and
Germany divide about equally the re-
mainder of the trade.
The port CT Pago-Pago was, shortly
after the treaty, surveyed by the
United States government and coal
ing station was established last year.
In considering the value Of Tutuila and
its harbor of Pago-Pago it is proper to
add that the Samoan naval disaster {
1889, in which number OF naval YES
sells were wrecked during severe
storm, occurred in the roadstead OF
Apia, on the island Of Upolu, and not in
the land-locked and well protected har-
Dor Of Pago-Pago.

Magician Kellar. who comes to the
Opera House tonight, never claims to
do impossible things, but when you see
soma of his new illusions you will be
ready to believe almost anything any
one says about him. In one of them he
has apparently succeeded in suspending
The inviolable law of gravitation, and
causes whatever he touches to lose its
weight and float about, or remain sta
tionary in the air, wherever he wills it.
He places plank in the air, horizon
tally, and it stays there. Then he
hypnotizes a young lady and places
her in reclining position upon the
plank, and both remain. The effect is
startling. but the audience has pre-
viously been thoroughly convinced that
no such amateur subterfuges as wires,
mirrors or the like have been resorted
to, to attain the result In Oriental
magic and illusionary work, Kellar will
this season present dozen marvellous
new illusions, each of which is appar-
emily more inexplicable than its prede-
cessor. Yet he tells you plainly that
everything he does is the result OF
trickery, pure and simple. Get on to
his tricks if you can-if you do you
are shrewder than most people.

APPEL AND FOX.

NEW YORK, November 12.-At the
Pelican Athletic Club in Brooklyn, last
night, Harry APPEL and Jack Fox were
matched at 1873 pounds for twenty
rounds. APPEL was knocked out in the
thirteenth round, and several hours
afterward lapsed into a state of coma,
from which he has not yet recovered.
1t is claimed that when APPEL fell he
struck his chin upon the floor, receiv-
ing a fracture. He is now lying in the
Norwegian Hospital in Brooklyn, I'M
conscious, and it is said that the
chances of his recovery are small
Several arrests were made to-day and
others will be made tomorrow. Jas.
Reagan, the time keeper of the bout,
was arrested and held, together with
four of the young men who acted as
handlers and witnesses. Fox has not
yet been arrested.
PRIZE FIGHTING AND ITS PROFITS.
jerome K. Jerome in Golfers Weekly
gives an account of conversation with
youth who finds Australia, Africa and SOL
diering too tame and gold mining unprof1t-
able and unsuited to his adventurous spirit
He finally announces his intention Of
adopting burglary as a vocation.
Reports from New York as to the profits
of Jeffries and Sharkey from their late pu-
gilistic encounter, indicate that before COM
hitting himself to burglary the blase youth
referred to would do we'll to consider the
ACCESSIBILITY of taking up prize fighting as
an occupation. His objections to soldier
ing were that he did not like to be one of
row and that anyway there was no real
fighting nowadays. These objections, it is
evident, will not apply to prize fighting
When Mr.. Jerome's youth stands up in the
ring to contest for the championship lie
will be very much alone. and as to gen
uine fighting, taking the last bruising pro-
cess as an example, he is likely to get all
he desires. Bruised faces, split noses and
ears, broken ribs dislocated shoulders
black eyes and broken hands are some of
the incidents of the vocation that may be
commended to the young gentleman who
finds fighting in the army too tame and un-
interesting.
In the matter of profit prize fighting is
far ahead of burglary. 1t is stated that

On next Saturday night, with an
afternoon matinee, at the Opera House,
Tim Murphy, the comedian, will be
seen in 1.-The Carpetbagger," a play
which, if press criticisms are accurate
has made a hit in every city in the
United States in which it has been pre-
scented. Mr.. Murphy needs no intro
duction here, for ne has already estab-
lished himself as favorite both In
1.-THE Carpetbagger" and in other plays
in which he has starred, or in which
he was cast before he began his star
ring tour in "Old Innocence" He is
without a doubt one of the most Won
derfully clever comedians on the
American stage to-day and that being
said, it means that he is one of the
best that the stage universal affords.

Mr.. Charles Cowles and his excellent
company Of players and singers in Nc
Kee Rankins beautiful play, "A Coun-
try Merchant" will be at the Grand
Opera House tonight. Mr.. Cowles has
won for himself a distinctive place
among the representative comedians Of
our stage. AS a realistic portrayer Of
the Yankee character he has no super
Tor. His "Eben Baxter" in "A Country
Merchant" is a dramatic triumph. No
lover of the highest comedy should
miss seeing him in this character. It
is not the creation of a moment, but
the result of many years of patient
study, and is classic in its way. The
play is a delightful one. Many pleas
ing specialties are introduced, making
one of the brightest, snappiest enter
tainments on the road.

ing. AS one enthusiastic critic has
written: "a Contented Woman is one
great bouquet culled from all that is
prettiest in the Hoyt flower garden. 1t
is performance upon which the dra-
matist, the composer. the costumer. the
scenic artist, the mechanic and the
electrician have bestowed their highest
talents and for which Dame Nature has
picked her handsomest women. 1t is
the climax in a series OF Hoyt successes,
which have climbed higher and higher

had reached their final end"

trio appliances, and giving instructions
to his servant, Joseph, he said:
"Now, 1 want you to understand
Joseph, that when 1 ring once that
means for you, and when / ring twice
that means for Maggie, the house
maid"
Joseph, who was the LATEST wretch
that ever accepted wages he did not
earn, bowed respectfully and with
drew. A little latter the bell rang
Joseph never moved. Presently ii
rang again, and Maggie came hurry
ing to her master, who was exceeding
wrathy.
"Why didn't that rascal, Joseph,
come when I rang for him ?" asked
the lawyer, disgustedly.
"Why, sir" answered Maggie, $50
seph is busy in the office reading your
newspaper. When he heard the first
ring he said to me:
"'Now, Maggie, wait until he rings
the second time, and then it will be
you he wants."
