LUNCH BASKET BRIGADE.
A chicago Fair Feature That May Re
Repeated in Paris.

"A Cnica&O Fair Feature That May Re
Repeated in Paris.
From the New Orleans Times.Democrat.
The Partisan Philistine who is anticd-
pating rich pickings from exposition visit
ors is booked for some painful surprises"
said local railroad man. He will make
the acquaintance of type of Americans
VINO are comparatively strangers to the
gay French capital. 1 refer to what was
known at the Chicago worlds fair as the
lunch basket brigade It was not by any
means composed exclusively of farmers,
but. on the contrary, most of its members
were bright, wide-awake young people
from towns and cities, who were deter
mined to see the big show at the least pos
sible expense. They had figured the whole
thing out months in advance, and reduced
economy to a scientific formula that sim
ply defied extortion. The numerous worlds
fair wolves who fully expected to devour
an strangers on sight gave up the basket
brigade as bad job, and It's memory is
still source of bitterness and reviiing,
My observation Of recent travel convinces
me that exactly the same element will be
conspicuous among the exposition visitors
from this side. have already seen numer-
GUS parties of tourists from the Pacific
coast and the southwest generally who
were heading for Paris and evidently going
on strict lunch-basket tactics. Many of
them were young teachers, who have prob
ably been saving UP for the trip for a year
OF SO. and they were not spending one
penny that could possibly be saved OF
course. the term lunch basket Is merely a
figure of speech. but some of them were
actually provided with rations which had
been calculated to last from the time they
left home to the time they took the ship. 1
can imagine the indignation of the Paris
Ian tradesman when he strikes that crowd"

STOCK BROKERS TO PLAY BALL.
Representatives of Washington VIII
Go to Baltimore.

The triernial base ball game of the Wash
ington stock exchange will! be played to-
morrow near Baltimore, and at that time
1t is expected representatives from the Bal
timore stock exchange will be present with
the view of scoring oftener than the play
ers from Washington. AS the contingent
from this city will not be able to get to
the grounds and array themselves in their
base ball clothes before O'Clock. and as
the grounds are engaged by another base
bail combination for half-past 4. 1t Is
thought by some that perhaps there will
not be more than time enough to play half
an inning or perhaps whole one.
1t is supposed that the latter depends
very largely on the contingency of which
side goes to the bat first. However, Mr..
w. A. Mearns, whose opinion as an all
around athlete Is much respected, confiden-
italy said the other day that he thought
even If the Washington nine went in the
field first that there was fair chance of
their being able to get their opponents out
before the time was up.
A large number are going along to direct
the game from the coaching lines and 1t Is
claimed that what the nine lacks in skill
will be amply made up by the expert di-
recton which Will be furnished by those
who know how to play, but who for various
reasons will look on at tomorrow's contest.
Those who survive the game Will be enter
tanned at dinner by the Baltimore players,
and the balance will be removed to hospi-
tails. and those that are able will be brought
home that night.

"the president took me under his wing and
with that he had the chief clerk turn over
a few more little jobs. Then he had the
manager give me a few additional duties,
which seemed to fill up the time to over

to attend to all these things, and succeeded

eral way that did not seem in the least
useful. He said he preferred to have his
people keep their coats on except when the
weather was hot; for a man who was not
a laborer to take his coat off showed he
was too warm or not working properly. If
he was too warm, he should have the room
cooled; if he was working with friction. he
should oil up the bearings little. He
went on to say that when he was brake
