her own name of Needle Dykstra, and
in spite of its unique quality decided to
renounce it for the more poetic desig-
nation by which she is now known.
She was soon able to appear creditably
In little one-act operetta, and made
such success that Planquette, the
composer of "The Chimes of Norman
dy." insisted on her going to Paris to
appear in his operas. After season
of popularity there she went to Lon
don, and thence came to America, max
ing her first appearance here in "The
Queens Mate" some eleven years ago
at the Broadway theater, New York.
Soon after she became prima donna at
the Casino, and then Joined the Bos-

With a season or two at the head OF

Brainy Ball Player.

There is no use talking that Patsy
Donovan is certainly a wonder. and.
there is about as much of a difference
between him and all other league out
fielders as there is between night and
day. Donovan not only plays the game
with his hands, but also with his head,
and there is hardly a day passes that
he does not turn up some little trick
that shows he has his wits about him
all the time. He was on the business
end of beauty bright of play in
enc game last season, wrote Sporting
Editor Nellis in the Pittsburg Chron-
icle-Telegraph, and it was this play
that kept the senators from scoring
moro than one run, and thus cost them
the game.
The play in question happened in
the seventh inning, when Anderson OF
the senators was on second base and
MCGUIRE at bat with two hands out.
MCGUIRE landed on one Of Hoffer's
straight balls and sent it down into
right field for a single. AS soon as
home, and Donovan, while gathering
the ball in, saw that it would be i'm
possible to head Anderson off at the
plate, so he resorted to bit of STRAIT
egy. He made the play as If he was
going to throw the ball to the catcher
and Mcclure turned first and was
ready to go for second on the play at
the plate Instead Of throwing to the
catcher Donovan shot the ball good
and true into the hands of O'Brien at
first base and Mcclure was touched
out before Anderson could cross the
plate with his run. The play was so
quickly executed that the 5000 specta-
tors did not for moment realize what
had happened, when Umpire Swart-
wood called out that Anderson's run
did not count, there was a loud burst
Of applause for the man who made
the play.
That was not the only place that
Donovan was mixed up in the game,
for a glance at the tabulated score will
show that he made three hits and
scored three of the Patriots four runs.
That comes pretty near being ball
playing. Donovan had an able side
partner in Tom McCreery, who follows
Donovan in the batting order, and who
also followed him in the matter Of
hitting. Each time Donovan got a
hit McCreery got one, and the Beaver
boys hits were the ones which brought
Donovan across the plate. Between
them they scored all the runs made by
the Patriots, and they got six of the
eight hits scored off weighing.

SEEN AT TRAIN TIME.
HUMAN NATURE AS REVEALED
IN A STATION.
They Are just Too Late-People VIM
Walt Until tho Last Minute ana ihon
Fail to Catch Trains-Tho TrouoAo'
of Travel.

When one has nothing particular 10
do of an afternoon and wants u NC
entertained, the terminals should COME
IN for consideration, for in these busy
marts of travel one may remain al
hour at a time in the enjoyment OF
hundred phases Of life and CHARACTER
At train time, which reaches us grea',
oct activity between the hours or
and G. all is hustle and excitement ana
ticket takers, gate tenders, ana porte,s
earn by far the greater part Oh lneii
wage then. The bureau OF information
man and the ticket sellers, too, nave
hard work of it, for around rallroau
stations it is proverbial that NOBODY
meaning passengers-ever does any
thing until the very last mlhu'e' anu
that everybody. e., passengers
wants to do it at the one moment.
boIf-hmr spent in any of the larger
stations will indicate the reasonable
moss Of this plant on the part OF the
Ihard-worked railroad ofhclals. DAY
train is scheduled to leave at b o CLOCK
we'll at 4:55 the rush commences. Inc
crowds surge up to the window TO puy
tickets and the agent has u MAXI
eleven kinds Of change at once. Ihen
. woman in the crowd drops her pun
dies. and there is scramble Oh lwo
minutes while she RECEIVERS them. AS
coon as this excitement subsidies
man discovers that he has not peen
given his right change-or THINKS NE
does-and before he has been con-
v;nced otherwise by reason OF the TACT
that in his haste he has stuck a doiiar
hill instead of his ticket into MS nat
hand. it is 4:5Sh, and six people are
clamoring for tickets. Yet the ex-
element is all on the one side OF the
window, for, this being part OF the
regular daily programme, the ticket
seller never loses his affable imper-
turbability. Perhaps the most notice
chic "train-time" character is the man
who dashes wildly up to the gate just
no the guard closes it, sharp on the
scheduled minute. Never a train but
what is missed by one or more OF THESE
tardy vet headlong individuals, and
the interesting part of 1t is that no
two of them take their disappointment
alike. Some, after a frantic dash
through the crowd, undaunted by an
CRY expostulations, bring up short at
the closed gate with an air of panied
surprise, then turn and calmly saunter
away, content to "kill' an hour or SO
| il they must needs till another train
| is scheduled to leave. Others hold splr-
tied arguments with the guard, and
almost insist upon being admitted to
chase the already moving train in q
vain endeavor to catch up with it.
| Still others declare that the train is
running out ahead Of time, and point
to their watches to prove it, answering
the guards silent nod toward the big
railroad clock with the declaration
that "it makes no difference; my watch
never loses a minute" These are the

numerously arrive at the entrance tc

Dead City OF n Forgotten PEOPLE In
Central Asia.
Interest is being revived in the bur-
led city of Takla-Makan and the dead
forests around it by DR.. Sven Hedin.
the Swedish explorer, in the desert Of
Cobb, central Asia, at an elevation OF
between 10000 and $4,000 feet above
sea level. DR.. Hedin considers that
the site Of this city now exceeds in
dreariness and desolation all the other
desert parts Of the earth, and, yet,
under the sand-drifts he found unde-
niable evidence of the existence Of a
great and populous city, mostly built
of poplar wood, whose inhabitants
were far advanced in arts, religion
and industry, and whose very namo
has been lost to the world for over
1000 years. The find has even rivaled,
from the pathological standpoint, those
which in Mashonaland would appear to
have revealed the habitat Of very
ancient community who have been lost
sight of since early biblical times
They appear to have been a very large
colony of gold-diggers and wheat
growers, who had their outlet at Exon
Geber, on the gulf of Akaba, and it is
quite probable that they were the CON-
munity from which King Solomon
drew great portion of his enormous
supplies Of gold.

there are mo more trains till morn

keynote for a diabolical series Of de-.
lays that cannot fail to- get the nerve
Of the calmest and most easy-going.
Cars will be blocked or run exasper-
atingly slow; coal carts are every
where in evidence, unloading; watches
go awry; tickets become misplaced;
grips are forgotten or inopportunely
dropped; crowds grow thicker and
slower, with a peculiar quality of
denseness, as the leaving place" is
neared, and, to crown all, small army
of newsboys and newsgirls thrust
themselves in the way and block the
belated ones onward stride with stri-
dent requests to "buy de evening pa

when you meet politician

But you needn't mention how.

No Music in "plxls"

For the inability of his band to play
Dixie" the popular southern air,
Conductor Theodore Thomas was on
Wednesday night presented with an
immense laurel wreath by Capt. Joseph
Burke, Confederate veteran Of Atlanta.
Ga
When the great orchestra went to
Atlanta Monday the representative Of
one Of the daily papers interviewed Mr..
Thomas and asked him if his organiza-
tion could play Dixie" Mr.. Thomas
replied that his time had been spent in
training his men to play only the cream
If classical music, and that they did
not pander to the street.music element
Wednesday night at the close Of
the series Capt. Burke presented Mr..
Thomas with the wreath, saying:
Some uncultured persons have
thought there was music in Dixie. The
Musicians Of Atlanta have always
known different. and they wish to
thank you for enlightening them and
the general public. Take this bit OF
laurel and wear it as a testimonial of
you mobile efforts to show the masses
what ture music is. -
The affair has caused considerable
surprise in veteran circles, and no
where more than it the set of Captain
Burke. At the same time the music.
ians Of the city approve his action, and
say the time has come to drop patriotic
idiocy for true melody.
