determined to study law. His father
made no objection, and in 1880, after he
had plowed through Kent and Black
stone and run three years of errands
for an Aurora firm of lawyers he
sought and obtained admission to the
bar. Aurora folk liked him, and trust
ed him, calling him by his first name
and bringing their law cases to him for
trial. He built up the largest practice
In Aurora, handling the most impor-
tant civil cases on the docket of the
circuit court.
Mr.. Alschuler was 33 years old be-
fore he made up his mind to enter prac-
teal politics. he had made stump
speeches for dozen years and given
counsel to the county leaders when
ever they asked his advice, but had al
ways refused to run for any city or
county Office. In 1892, however, he was
nominated for congress. He accepted
the nomin ton, though the Kane coun-
ty district, in which he had to make
his first great political fight, was the
most intensely republican district in the
state. He was not elected, but his
campaign attracted the attention of
the democratic state leaders, and as
sort of consolation prize, Gov. Altgeld
appointed him member of the state
commission of claims in July, 1893. In
1896 the democrats in Aurora wanted
a. man to run for state representative.
Sam" Alschuler, they decided, could
make the strongest fight, and they
nominated him. He was elected by
comfortable majority, and in 1893 Au
rora sent him back for second term
at Springfield. He was recognized as
one of the democratic leaders of the
house during his first term. and was
the acknowledged floor leader of the
democrats in the last session, as well
as chairman of the steering commit
tee. His power as a debater was con-
ceded by democrats and republicans
alike.

wedding gift from the Greenville base
ball team. Many other presents were
made to Mr.. and Mrs Cline before they
entered their carriage to leave the
grounds. Congratulations were ex-
tended and then the umpire calledthe
ball game of the afternoon.
Mr.. Cline is baseball enthusiast. He
often plays shortstop for the Green
vile team and is also one OF their best
pitchers. Mr.. Cline was with the Green
vile team last season and accompanied
them on their tour in northwestern
Ohio. The bride enjoys good game
of ball. The preacher who performed
the ceremony is also baseball enthu-
siast, and he, too, accompanied the
Greenville team on their tour last year.
1t was with the purpose of drawing a
big crowd to witness the game that
Mr.. and Mrs. Cline decided to have the
wedding ceremony take place at the
home plate. The Greenvilles are q
strong independent team and are al
ways well patronized, but the attend
ance at their ball park on the day OF
the wedding was the largest ever re-

THE QUAKER BOBOLINK.
Strange Habit of the Bird De-
scribed by an Observing
Naturalfst.

AS 1 walked under the willows
empty to-day, though l remembered
more than one happy occasion when,
in better company, 1 had found them
alive with wings, says Bradford Torrey
in the May Atlantic, paused to look
through the branches at large hawk
and afewglossy-backed barn swallows
quartering over the meadow. Then all
at once there fell on my ears shower
of bobolink notes, and the birds, 20
or more, together, dropped into the
short grass before me. Every one of
them was a male.
A strange custom it is, this Quaker
ish separation of the sexes. It must
be the females work, imagine
Modesty and bashfulness are fem
mime traits-modesty bashfulness, and
nNaidenly discretion. The wise virgin
shunneth even the appearance of evil.
Let the males flock by themselves, and
travel in advance. And the males prac-
tice obedience, not for virtues sake,
guess. but of necessity; encouraged,
no doubt, by an unquestioned belief
that the wise virgins will come troop
ing after, and be found scattered con-
veniently over the meadows, each by
herself, when the marriage bell
strikes. That blissful hour was now
close at hand, and my 90 gay bachelors
knew it. Every bird of them had on
his wedding garment. No wonder they
sang.

the shade Of dense trees, but as it had
been in use a short time before, there
was no suspicion of anything wrong.
After the little party had been out
a short time. rowing against ixelG

one of the end, seats in the boat four
Shiny reptiles, a quartette Of snakes
that for size and ugliness are seldom
seen in Hennepin county. The woman
and girls screamed, the oars we've
dropped, and there were three persons
sitting tailor fashion on three boat
seats in a twinking. There was no
one holding the oars, and the boat
was drifting, and altogether terror
began to fill the souls Of those three
people, SO awkwardly situated They
became more and more frightened, and
there was danger that in their tel ror
there might be an accident.
Finally, in spirit of determination,
Florence Fouch took off her waist and
wrapping it about her arm and hand.
she seized the writhing thing and, one
at a time, tossed them into the lake.
There they rolled over, showing the
shiny whites of their bellies, then dis
appeared. The oars wefe secured. and,

night, says the New York Telegraph.
While metitating over his success in
the dressing room, while the other ac-
tors were washing up. he was startled
by the voice of the transfer man call
ing out: Waiting for your trunk,
sir?" All the other trunks had long
since been taken out of the building
and most of the actors had gone to
thu cir hotels.
Hurriedly he packed his trunk, care
lessly throwing in all his effects. and
turning the key in the lock, and de-
livered his worldly belongings to the
man impatiently waiting. About ten
minutes later the janitor of the thea
ter was startled by what he thought
were the rawlings of lunatic in dress
ing room downstairs.
He was almost sure all the actors
had left the building and, arming him
quietly crept downstairs toward the
room which contained the supposed
lunatic. There he heheld the medi-
tating actor, docile nov, dressed in
entire street costume with the excep-
ton of his trousers. The hoodoo had
done his work, for the actor in hastily
packing his trunk had placed therein
not only his stage wardrobe but his
street trousers as well, and was COM
PEELED to get, back to his hotel in a
pair of the janitor's overalls, which
made a pretty combina ton with a
black silk hat and Prince Albert

The fremen stood amazed and for

MARRIED ON BALL FIELD.
Baseball Enthusiasts Wed at the
Home Plate on a Rural Penn
sylvania Diamond.

Miss Clara Keck and Peter Cline were
married at the home plate on the base
ball field in Greenviue, Pa, the other
day in the presence of 1000 people.
Rev. H. H. Emmett, pastor of the
Greenville Baptist church, officiated. A
large number of society people Of
Grecnville turned out to see the we'd
ding and were seated in the grand
stand. The baseball enthusiasts were
also in attendance in large numbers.
Following the ceremony, a purse of
$50 was presented to Mr.. Cline as a

Three-year-old Johnny Leonard, of
20 East One Hundred and Thirty-fourth
street, New York, owes his life to the
family parrot, Dick. The boy was look
ing out of the window, and the sash,
which was merely propped up. fell upon
his neck. Johnny shouted for help,
but, his head being outside the win
dow, his mother, who was at work in
another part of the house couldn't
hear him. Then the parrot took up
the cry, says a veracious neighbor.
'.Help!" 'sHe1p!" .'HelpI" he screamed,
and the cry brought Mrs. Leonard to
the window. She rescued her child just

and the others were capturing San
Juan. His battle there practically
ended the Santiago campaign so far as
fighting was concerned. Since that
time he has been known as the "hero.

After the end of the war in Cuba he
