SOME HINTS FOR GOLF LOVERS
Learning the Proper SMinE-An I'm

minority composed of such cranks as
run each and every pastime to a point
of eXaggeraticn, is at standstill, and
the golfers of last season are looking
| around for novelties for the coming
one, not only in clubs, shoes and cos
tunes, but in strokes and proper at
titudes of body, says the New York
Herald.
One theory advanced is that of learn
ing the proper swing. The fault THAI
Is about the hardest to correct in driv-
ing is to get the shoulders and back
Into the stroke, SO that the swing will
be full and the club head followed
through with the ball. The way to get
the true style in driving, according to
the new idea. is to practice the drive
with golf ball held firmly under the
right armpit. 1t will be found that
when the swing is properly made the
ball will not be dislodged from its
place, and, on the other hand, that the
exertion of holding the ball in its posi-
flon will teach a fine carriage Of the
shoulders and body throughout the on
tire stroke. All who have tried swing
Ing with ball under the armpit say
that it has improved their drive.
Another suggestion is that the necks
or mouths of the caddie bags should be
not less than six and a half inches
across. This recommendation is based
on the experience that the usual caddie
bag mouth of four and half inches in
sures badly frayed leather grips Of the
clubs, owing to the haste of the caddie
boys to push them in and out of the
bag in serving the players during the
round. Tho bags, although somewhat
larger to the eye, are no heavier than
those with narrow mouths, and the
caddie's work is thus made easier and
tie chatting and scraping of clubs done
away with to great degree.
A third suggestion is an improve
ment in the cups used TO fill the holes.
The usual disk cup is of heavy gal
vanized tin, with two cross pieces per
forated to support the disk staff, which.
when the ground is hard
with frost, requires considerable labor
to bury in the earth.
The new device, which has been used
for a season in the west, is an iron cup
having a thick base in which the staff
rests The hole need not be as deep as |
with the tin cups, and as there are no |
cross bars the balls never become stuck |
beneath them.

stage life. The most recent illustration
of this is presented by a farce called
Browns in Town." which is now due
at the Bijou theater. The work was
first presented in Racine, Wis, for
single night, and thence went to Mil
waukee, St. Paul, Minneapolis. Chica-
go, and other western cities, where 1t
performed the seldom accomplished
feat of winning immediate and sub
stantial recognition. Even in the small
towns which are visited but for sim
gle day by the managers of travelling
companies, Browns in Town" was
enabled to make considerable additions
to his Cor its) bank account, an out
come seldom falling to the lot of play
with which the public are not already
entirely familiar. Such a result must
naturally have been reached quite as
much through the skilful management
of the enterprise as by reason of the
value of the play itself. For, while
one may readily realize that after
community has once been permitted to
judge for itself regarding the amusing
quality of the stage fare provided, it
is quite another matter to place the
SAINT uldlelldl DelOIe the IeSluSulS VI
another city or town for a single time
and command their attention. Thus,
while Browns in Town" attracted
upon it's merits in the places where it
remained for week or more, it must
have been handled with uncommon
shrewdneSs to acquire similar support
in the smaller places, where it could
scarcely have been heard of prior to
the invasion of the agent in advance.
The piece will remain at the Bijou the
alter for some time to come. 1t is
clean and lively farce, with numerous
complications of a most ludicrous char
acter, and it is admirably played by
company which includes James o. Bar
rows, Edward Abeles, Anna Belmont,
Kathryn Osterman, and several other
actors and actresses of ample capabil-
ity.
Miss Marie Engle has been identified
for the past three years with the Maui
rice Grau Opera company, and among
the great lyric artists who have be-
come familiar to New York audiences
she holds a place peculiarly her own
and without competition. From the
earliest stage of Marie Engle's career
there has never been any doubt or
question regarding the quality OF her
voice. From the first it has been what

the French call bien place.. A high,
light soprano of exquisite timbre, clear,
true and flexible, it is impossible in
certain coloratura arias to distinguish
it from the flute or clarinet, save that
the voice quality is more intense and
sympathetic and thus impossible to be
initiated on any instrument. Added to
her vocal gifts, Miss Engle possesses
charming personality, beautiful face
and superb physique, as well as a stage
experience dating from her early girl
hood. Until within a few years she
was accompanied on all her tours by
her father, who has devoted his life to
the career of his daughter; and the
sight Of the beautiful young woman
with her venerable and majestic escort
always brought to mind the romantic
and touching history of their life.
Marie Engle's grandparents on her
fathers side were Marie Stoll, French
prima donna of note, and Max Engle,
a Prussian. They came to America
with their infant son and settled in
Michigan, in the neighborhood of an
Indian settlement. The little boy
mixed freely with the different tribes,
and for years practically lived the free,
wild life of an Indian. When he
reached manhood he met young Irish

Actor Relates n Narrowing Experience

From the Wide World Magazines:
Richard Hicks, an oldtime actor, tells
of his narrow escape from being hang
ed on the stage of the Queens theater
Dublin. He was playing the part of
Achmet, particularly villainous char
acter, who after long career of crime
is. to the general satisfaction of the
audience, captured by two British SOL
diers and promptly hanged. "One night
while struggling with my captors the
rope slipped from my shoulders and
knotted itself around my neck, just as
1 was being hauled up" says Mr.. Hicks.
Never shall 1 forget that awful mo-
ment. Directly 1 felt the tug at my
neck gave a convulsive kick and tried
to shout Stop but the word could not
escape from my twitching lips. l
could only make girgling noise.
Frantically 1 kicked and struggled.
Pain there was none, strangely enough,
beyond a choking, suffocating sensa-
ton, and 1 could hear the tumultuous
applause of the audience. who were
hugely entertained with what they inn
agined was my realistic acting. Then
a horrible sensation, like molten lead
rushing down my spine, pervaded my
body and 1 thought my legs were
bursting I gave another mighty strug-
gle and strove-ah. how 1 strove-to
scream 1 seemed to behold mighty
rush of green water and my ears were
filled with the roar of a cataract. I

Two days afterward 1 recovered con-
seriousness and then 1 suffered indie
scribable agony. The suffocating sem
sation still remained, but it was ac-
companied by an unquenchable thirst,
not to mention fearful pains in my
body and limbs.

The Height of Royalties.

In point of stature, the rulers of to-
day compare very unfavorably with
their predecessors. The first Chris
tan, King of Denmark, was seven feet
high. The present Danish King, Chris
tan TX, barely reaches five feet eleven
inches, and his son, King George OF
Greece four inches shorter. The same
physical decline seems to mark the
Cars of Russia. Peter the Great was
a giant of six feet ten inches. The
Car of today barely reached five feet
six inches. The late German Emperor.
William l., was six feet high, and his
brother, Prince Charles. was but an
inch shorter. The present Kaiser, with
all his arts of imitation, cannot stretch
himself beyond five feet eight inches.
The King of the Belgians, with six
feet four inches of stature, is the tall
est of living monarchies; and Queen
Victoria with four feet ten inches, two
inches less even than the present Chi
nese Emperor, is the shortest, as she
Is the best.

New York continues to be the center
of dramatic success in America. 1t is
naturally to be expected, within the
limitations of reason, from the fact
that here great majority of the orig
1nal stage productions are nlade-it be-
ing the view of most directors OF
amusement enterprises that the stamp
OF metropolitan approval is a sort of
hallmark which commands the con-
siderat1on of nearly all the remaining
cities upon this continent. This I'M
derstanding of the case. it must be ad-
m1tted, is in most instances justified
by the facts, although there are some
examples every year to show that New
York's friendly opinion is not abso-
tutely an essential item in American

much attention that her parents forced
her to live in the strictest seclusion
and, in spite of her great love for mu-

cultivating her voice. With the advent

Speed, Strategy and science.

Managers of all ball clubs meet with

Lew Whistler, who will handle the
Syracuse Stars in 1899. 81 have had
applications for positions on the teams
I've managed that deserve a place in
the comic literature of the day. Here
is a sample. 1 had not known the
writer personally, as the manner in
which he begins his letter would lead
one to believe, but 1 had heard of him.
He had been a mark for the Louis
vile players for years, and they had
no trouble in convincing him that he
was the best that ever happened, and
all that he needed to make coin and
a reputation was a chance with team.
He didn't get one from me, and I'M
less he has changed his name he has
not yet broken into the game. I was
manager of the Springfield Interstate
club when 1 received his letter. 1t
speaks for itself:
Louisville, Jan. 9. 1S9S.-Dear
Friend Lew: 1 would like to get a
berth on your team as a twirler. in
which capacity 1 am dead sure 1 can
hold my own in that league.

buying my way back, strictly speaking,
as I am worth twice that amount, and
if signed you will find it out. I have
an object in working in that league. III
you wish to gain my services, do SO

don't you'll miss me.

to look at the man without it's attract
ing attention. So my remarks were not
lost on the jury, although up to the
time 1 arose 1 myself had never noticed
it.
THE other lawyers followed and the
jury did not take long to decide that
James was innocent. The ovation
which followed was almost as enthu-
siastic as that which followed the &C
quittal of his nephew in Kansas City.
Shortly after James came to this city,
and his conduct since that time has
been such that there are few men in
the city who have so many or such 10y
