Sporting Men Ignore Their Tenses
and Seem Pleased.
"Have you ever noticed the satisfied
manner Of gamblers while twisting
their lenses into the I win and I lose
common to the fraternity" remarked
q man who has a fondness for inveSti-
eating the peculIarities Of his fellows.
81 have thought Of that for long
time-ever since that form of express
sion came into common use among
gamblers. Watch the first sport you
hear talking In that style and notice
the pleasure be seems to take In roll
ing his method Of expression. The
tense he uses evidently carries him
back, and be enjoys again In the pres
ent the pleasures Of the act when he
speaks Of it. Even if he says be lose
it gives him qualification. according to
the philosophy Of Charles Fox. who IS
authority for the statement that the
greatest pleasure in the world. next TO
winning money, is to lose 1t.
"The ungrammatical fashion among
gamblers dates back about 10 years.
1t seems impossible to conceive any
reason for the custom other than the
one l have mentioned. That form OF
speech is still growing in popularity.
The so called sporting men have ex-
tended the scope Of the present tense to
all their verbs. 1t jars on me some
times. but even then find consolation
In the knowledge that If the sports
Gid not affect that particular style Of
speech 95 In 100 Of them would do even
worse, and their present picturesque
defiance Of grammar Is q relief from
the possibilities Of such expressions as

back, carrying lamp, and moment

be had dropped It. A red glow imme-
diately came through the chinks in the
rear wall and grew rapidly brighter
and brighter, while there was q sound
Of excited footsteps, indistinct shouting
and furniture being dragged across the
foor. All that, occurring out Of sight,
worked the audience to high pitch OF
nervous tension. Then smoke began
to ooze through the cracks, the red
glow continued to increase, and all of
a sudden the entire back wall tottered
and sank forward on the stage, dis
closing dim perspective, with flames
shooting up here and there and fremen
rushing pellmell in every direction.
THAT spectacle created tremendous
sensation wherever it was put on, yet
the entire effect was produced by q
few shovelfuls Of red fire burned In
the wings and little lycopodium pow
der, which flashes into big, harmless
blaze and was concealed in tin boxes
attached to different parts Of the set
ting. The back wall was let down on

OLD STAGE EFFECTS.
SCENES THAT USED TO THRILL
AUDIENCES YEARS AGO.

A Ludicrous Mishap That Once
Floored Frank Mayo In the Gil
max In '.Davy Crockett"-A Crude
Fire Scene That Was Very Popular.
"Great Scott, how modern audi
ence would gibe at the stage effects
that used to thrill folks thirty or so
years ago" said On old theatrical man
ager who was in the city recently en-
route to Frisco. Take the famous
wolf scene in 'Davy Crockett for in
stance, that made fortune for dear
old Frank Mayo. That was consid-
cred one Of the most realistic things Of
its day, and it stirred audiences to alb
solutely frantic excitement. You re-
member how it went: Davy and the
heroine have taken refuge in noun
tain cabin. and suddenly they hear
g long drawn wall -Ow-o-o-o-o!
Ow-o-o-o-o-o! 1t sounded like tom
cat on q moonltt fence and was emitted
by the prop man, standing in the
wings. Davy springs to his feet. He
listens with his hand to his ear. The
orchestra plays tremolo. The wolves"
he cries, and the house begins to hold
its breath.
Meanwhile the prop man puts on
more steam. The beasts are nearing.
Davy glares around distractedly. Mer-
ciful hevings! He has burned up the
door bar for fuel. The prop man
howls at the top Of his voice. Davy
dashes up his sleeve. He springs to
the door, rams his bare arm through
the empty staples, and two stuffed
wolves heads are poked suddenly
through hole at the bottom! Then
the curtain drops. there Is more tremo-
10, and it rises again to discover Davy
fainting at the portal with q couple OF
streaks Of red paint around his good
right arm to show where the staples
p!nched. That scene would excite de-
rision today, but it kept the wolf from
Mayo's own door FOR many dong year.
Incidentally it was responsible for
some ludicrous mlshaps.
"On one occasion. while touring
through Iowa. the special scenery was
delayed by railroad wreck and local
stage carpenter undertook to fake up
the cabin interior. By some mistake
be made the staples several inches too
small. and when Mayo. who was
rather Dortly, rushed to the rescue he
was horri6ed to discover that he could
not get his arm through the irons. he
pushed and sQuirmed and sweat blood,
but It was no go. and as the wolves
were supposed to be advancing on
dead lope the situation was decidedly
critical. 1t SO happened that the
actress who played the heroine that
season was very spirituelle. not to say
scrawny, and while poor Davy was
still wriggling at the door some gallery
god suddenly Diped out: Break away,
fatty, and let de lady try" The audi
ence roared and Mayo signaled for
quick curtain.
Fire effects are regarded with dis
favor nowadays" continued the man
ager, because If too realistic they are
apt to create q panic In crowded thea-
ter. but In the old melodramas there
was 10 danger Of mistak!ng them for
the real thing, and they were great
drawing cards. Back in the early
seventies Joe Murphy, the Irish come
dian, toured the country in o play
called Help which contained fire
scene that was regarded as the most
ever produced on the road.

HEAVY SENTENCE
Expected by McGowan-Accused Man
Talked With Prisonkeeper Washer.

Prisonkeeper John Il. Washer, while
speaking of the verdict of the jury in
the case against McGowan, one of the
alleged murderers of Merchant Goss,
at Edinburg, said to Democrat re-
porter:
IL was not surprised that the ver-
diet was guilty of murder in the first
degree The accused man was expect
ing heavy sentence, but was sur
praised at its being made first de-
gree
while talking with McGowan on the
10th of January, he said to me: 4
don't think that the jury viii return a
first degree verdict, but suppose that
the most lenient sentence | can hope
for will be u or 20 years imprisoI-
ment, and that's II h of long
time"
The jury recommended the accused
man TO the mercy of the Court, so
capital punishment will not be meted
out to him. He will get Imprisonment
for life.
Trial of tine other accused murder
ers will follow soon.

and danced around while Choynski was
regaining his feet.
Choynski came up very groggy after
his fourth knockdown, only to go down
again from a right on the point of the
chin which sent him fiat on his stom-
ach to the floor of the ring. 1t looked
then as if Choynski was out for good,
but three seconds after he went down
the bell rang and he was helped to his
corner.
Walcott forced the fighting in the
second, sending his right to the body
and landed hard left on the jaw.
Choynski replied with stinging right
on the head, which staggered Walcott
TO the ropes. This round was fairly
evenly fought, but Choynski with his
superior reach and height failed to land
another good blow, as Walcott was al
ways able TO dodge every lead or re-
turn made by the big Californian.
They rushed to n clincb in the third,
after which Walcott jabbed his left to
the face and swung the same hand
hard TO the body. Choynskl tried left
and right for head, but Walcott got
inside of them and put both hands to
the body and in the clinch which fol-
lowed sent his right hard over the kid
neys.
In the fourth Choynski managed to
land couple of hard right handlers on
the body, but the Negro sent back
lcfts and rights on the body and face,
doing particular damage with his left
on the side Of the head.
The fifth round was all in Walcott's
favor, and in the sixth he cut Choyn-
skis right eye with a left hand swing.
The Californian was groggy when he
came up for the seventh round, and
| and two lefts on the face he stag
gered in an evidently helpless manner.
Walcott then landed left and right on
jaw, forcing Choynski to the floor, and
when the latter regained his feet, wal
cott rushed him, but was stopped by
the referee, Johnny White, who declar-
cd Walcott the winner.
White said afterwards that he felt
that another blow would have put
Choynski out.

Thursday night in a match with Sam

Wheeling says: Louden Campbell and
Sam Bolen met here Thursday night
under the auspices of the Metropolitan

Bolen in size and reach, but the colored
