a weeks engagement last night at the Co

dierce that taxed both TIE seating and
standing capacity Of the playhouse. The
interpreting company is OF good size and
the rendering of the English musical COM
edy was a distinct success in every way.
The swinging music Of the piece proved
inspiring enough to win from two % eight

MIKE DoNLIN CUT.
Guyed an Old Gentleman and Was At
tackled by Young One.

st. Louis, June 26.-Mike Donlin, the
present center fielder of the St. Louis
baseball team, has a badly cut face to
show for some uncalIed for boiSterouS-
ness on his part in ''josh1ng' an elderly
gentleman with whiskers, name un-
known, and a cardinal-topped youth,
also unknown.
It all happened close to the hour of
3 o'clock yesterday morning, when Don
team, believed to have been Pitcher Gus
weighing, were enjoying themselves in
a saloon at Eighteenth street and Wash
ingtOn avenue. The ball players, ac-
cOrding to Detectives Zeigler and Brady,
who have since worked on the case,
were strictly sober and had been out for
a quiet time. They We're in the best of
humor and while waiting for the owl
car to come along entered the saloon.
They were feeling good, not gay, it is
said, and when the elderly man with
lin centered his remarks on him. What
a treat for the wind" and The old
boys got his face fenced in were some
of Mixes witty remarks. Apparently
with a desire to avoid trouble the old
gentleman left the tavern, followed l.
the youth with the raven locks.
Donlin and the pitcher followed the
pair out, and Mike continued his re-
marks. Then the youth, who had all
this time kept in the background, sudden
ly drew a knife and whipped it across
and took the count before the pitcher
could revive him. Immediately the
elderly gentleman and the youth de-
parted, leaving the two players together.
Donlin was led to the city hospital,
where his face was dressed.

RYAN-DoNAHUE FEUD.
Chicago Catcher Says He Will Retire
From the Club if the Captain Will

Chicago, June EFF I am a disturb
ing element in the Chicago baseball
team I am willing to get out. AS to
whether Ryan or me has been the
knoclxer in the team you can find out
from Captain Arson or Tom Burns. I
want to say right now that if Ryan will
agree to leave the team I will. We will
both get out. He's better fixed than
am and can afford to quit baseball bet
ter than can, but I'll promise to cut
the business If he will. Ryan told me
when the team was in Boston not long
ago that I was in line to be traded.
That was the first 1 heard of the matter
I never had a word with Ryan in
quarrelsome way, but we don't agree,
that's a cinch."
This was the substance Of Timothy
Donahue's statement respecting the al
legged difficulties between himself and
Captain James Ryan. Tim pleaded that
he wished in all statements to be con-
servative, but that if it narrowed down
to question as to whether he or Ryan
had been the disruptiOnist in the team,
he could bring proof for his side.
Ryan broke into print with the state
ment that he would not play ball on the
same team with me any longer. That
makes me sore. I don't care what Ryan
thinks of me privately, but I don't like
him to get into the newspapers with a
wallop- never said anything for pub
HcatiOn against him.

A Lost Wichita Boy Nine Years
Old Returns Home.
Eddie Sage Was kidnapped Over
Two Years Ago.
COMPELLED TO BEG.
Was Treated So Cruelty He Told
Omaha Police.
Parents Reduced to Poverty
Searching for Him.

Wichita, June 26-Eddie Sage, 9 years
old, turned up here today and solved the
mystery of his disappearance two years
ago. He had been kidnapped by man
and made to beg for him. The man
treated the lad so harshly in Nebraska
that he disregarded threats of being
killed and told the whole story to the
police. Copeland got wind of it and
fed.
Eddie is the son of Thomas Page of
this city, and his father has been hunt
ing for him during the time of his alb
sence, riding thousands of miles on false
trails and spending every dollar he had,
until now he has practically nothing
The boy is bright, and tells a thrilling
story of his two years of enforced beg
ging. He said he had collected over
$500 in Denver in small sums. He beg
ged in the state house at Topeka imme-
diately after he was kidnapped, and said
he got $13 there one day
His fathers home is now a scene of
great joy, as almost all hope of Eddie
being found had been lost.

CHAMPION ATHLETES.
Some of the American Men Who Will
Contest in Europe.

During the past week there sailed
from America 25 as fine athletes as ever
trOd cinder path. They represented
various colleges and universities in the
east and west, and were but a portion
of the quota of American athletes who
are going abroad to carry Americas
colOrs to the front in the English cham
pionships and the Olympic games
The plan of both the Pennsylvania
and Princeton teams IS to appear in
but the London championships and in
the Olympic games. The others will
content themselves with the Paris
events.
When the personnel of the American
representation is considered it will be
found that it is well worthy of consid-
Grafton. It contains the holders of
eight worlds records and no less than
six American champions.
The principal star and main depen-
dence of the American team is Alvin c.
Kraenzlein. In form there can be no
question but that Kraenzlein is the su-
perior of any hurdler and broad jumper
in the world, while as a sprinter it is
doubtful if many excel him. Kraenz-
lein will be counted on to win at least
three events abroad, and possibly more,
while he may win as many as six.

A BOUT OF TEN ROUNDS
To Weigh in at Ringside at 12S

New York, June 26.-Frank Erne and

enough behind his blows to compel any

SECRETS.

There is one man in the United States
who has perhaps heard more women's
secrets than any other man or woman in
the country These secrets are not Sc
crets of guilt or shame, but the secrets of
suffering, and they have been conhded
to DR.. r. V. Pierce in the hope and ex-
pectation of advice and help. That few
of these women have been disappointed
in their expectations is proved by the
fact that ninety-eight per cent. of all
women treated by DR.. Pierce have been
absolutely and altogether cured. Such
record would be remarkable if the cases
treated were numbered by hundreds
only But when that record applies to
the treatment of more than half-a-1ni1-
lion women, in a practice of over thirty
years, 1t is phenomenal, and entities d..
Pierce to the gratitude accorded him by
women, and the honor paid him. by the
profession as the first of specialists in
the treatment of women's diseases.
Every sick woman may consult DR..
Pierce by letter, absolutely without
charge Every woman's letter which
contains her secret remains her secret.
It is read in private, answered in private,
and its contents guarded as sacred con
fdence. That no third party should enter
into this secret, all replies are mailed,
sealed in perfectly plain envelopes, with
out any printing or advertising whatever,
upon them. Write without fear as with
out fee, to DIR. r. V. Pierce, Buffalo, n. Y.
