MARE WITH A FALSE TAIL.
Her Owner. n San Francisco Milk- man, Has Given Her n Good,
 Bushy Switch.

| It is not given alone to woman, who would make herself more beautiful with abundant tresses, to rest while her back hair hangs on the door knob. On the contrary, there is a petted sorrel mare in this city which is bedded down carefully every night by Morris P. Sweet, a dairyman of No. 1915 Folsom street, while her switch, or rather her tail. hangs up with the harness. Her present owner has had her for several years, and so deftly has he dressed "Kittie's" back hair that he has driven her over all the streets of San Fran cisco without attracting attention until she fell under the lynx eyes of Matthew McCurrie. assistant secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
 With his attention turned all ways at all times, McCurrie noticed what he supposed to be harness sewed to the hide of the poor brute. Upon investiga tion he was sorry that there was not special reward of merit for the man who had, at infinite pains, provided SOO0, DuSuJ oNAtNh lhdl tbiS DOOA Dl uiN might be adequately armed against the common enemy.
 After Sweet bought the horse with the sad-looking stump where tail should have been he made several trips to tue boneyard before he managed to get sorrel tail of just the proper hue. To it be had enough hide attached 10 reach the crupper straps. When it was new there was hide enough to lace well around the stump, but it has since been tanned and shrunken by the wind and weather until now bit of scrutiny shows some of the lacing at the sides. From a utilitarian standpoint the tail is quite as useful as if every hair of it was rooted to the stump.
 "Kittie" holds her head proudly, and her limbs are as slender as those of the finest thoroughbred. She was born and bred an aristocrat. She was docked in accordance with the standard in so- ciety horsedom, and that is the reason that to-day she runs in a milk wagon, victim 10 fashion and wears false hair. San Francisco Chronicle.

SHOOTING STARS.
A Theory That They Have a Marked Influence Upon the Tenn
 perature.

Recently there has been an attempt to revive the idea that falling stars exert an indirect influence on temperature, especially in cases where the tempera- ture falls, as in the first fortnight of February or May. The advocates of this notion would have us believe that certain groups of shooting stars inter- cept part of the suns rays as they pass between the earth and sun, so that noticeable cooling of the atmos- phere is a result of course, cooling which is felt by scientific instruments, by men, animals and plants.
 There are times in the year when shooting stars are more numerous than at others. as the 18th, 18th and 14th of November, and the 10th. 11th and 18th of August It was formerly calculated that the groups from which these come pass between us and the sun on May II. and February 2, respectively. Now it happens that toward May II, and pre- cisely on the 10th, 11th, 18th, and 18th of that month there is a noticeable and we'll verified lowering of the tenn perature in Europe north of the Alps. For this reason those days which are sacred to Saints Mamertus, Pancras, Servadius and Boniface have given the name of the saints of ice" to their patrons, the "Eisheiligen" of the Ger mans. But nowadays this belief is no longer upheld by sober demonstra- tions. The saints of ice" are explained by the general laws of atmospheric movements, and 1t is proven that the shooting stars have nothing to do with them. The same conclusion will doubt less be reached regarding the lowered temperature in February F. Bian- co, in Chautauquan.

Manager Duffy has completed all his ar
rangements for handling big crowd and
the athletes, local and visitors, are said
to be in good condition. and indications
point TO a very successful athletic and So
cial event. Knapp, the Johns Hopkins
crack sprinter. has been training espec-
tally to make it interesting for Mulligan,
the local collegiate star. and the three
events in which they will meet will be
hot ones from start to finish.
Owing to an oversight. entry blanks
were mailed to Gallaudet College too late
to be returned before the entries closed

New York. May 5.-The New Yorks
made good finish in the ninth inning at
the Polo Grounds today, and defeated the
Washingtons when five hundred cranks
had about given up all hope. Up to that
point Weyhing had pitched finely but the
strain proved too much for him. With
one out Gleason beat out a grounder to
the veteran, who could not throw because
of lame arm and OBrien got base on
balls Grady, who was sent to bat in
stead of Hartman, also walked on called
balls, whereupon, with the bases filed,
Foster smashed a clean single to centre
and tied the score Grady was thrown cut
trying to reach third and the New Yorks
raised a howl because they said Latham
had grabbed Grady as he was passing sec
ond Foster landed at second, however,
and scored the winning run on Doheny's
base hit to centre. There was quite a
row in the second inning which was ended
by Padden's expulsion by Assistant Um-
pire Andrews. The latter had called Van
Haltren safe at first when he seemed to
have been clearly put cut on Padden' s
throw
The latter made a big kick and was
ordered TO the bench. That let the veteran
Latham into the game Arlie was as full
of fun as ever, but he showed by his work
that he has seen his best days. Gleason
and Warner played splendid ball for the
New Yorks, but Hartman continued in his
poor streak, striking out twice and get
ting in two laughable errors that drew
jeers from the crowd. The locals did some
inferior base-running, especially when,
with one out in the eighth Van Haltren
ran from second to the plate on a fly
ball which was caught by Mercer and re-
suited in an easy double play. Doheny
pitched invincible ball after the second
inning The Washingtons have a number
OF likely youngsters and the whole team
played hustling game. The score:

CENTURY CLUB DECLINES.
II VIII Not Participate in the RuI
Arranged for sunday.

At meeting of the Century Cycle Club
held last night at the headquarters, 627
E Street, it was unanimously decided not
to participate as a club in the century run
to be given by the Arlington Wheelmen
next Sunday. 1t was the sense of the
club also that no individual entries would
be made for this run by members of the
Century Club. The decision was reached
after a thorough canvass of the situation.
The rules governing entries for the run
are such as to disqualify eight-hour men
from the benefits OF the prize for the four
teen-hour class in case they should fall
short in their class. The most OF the
Century Club riders are eight-hour men,
and as this rule seemed TO make a special
discrimination against them, resolu-
tions embodying the decision of the club
not to participate in the run were unan-
imously adopted.

winning from the Champion Bostons by
score of II to 2. The Champions had an

although the large number of errors made
by the home team made but little differ
