"The Rounders' is the name Of the latest
New York Casino success, which will be
seen at Boyd's theater Tuesday night and
Wednesday matinee and night. with come
dian Thomas O. Seabrooke as its brightest.
most particular star. Manager Lederer
presents Thomas Q. Seabrooke as Maginnis
Pasha at the head OF the organizati ion,
which is a guaranty as to the quality of
the comedy element. MIR. Seabrooke Is so
well known that the simple announcer ement
of his name is sufficient. The play is from
the French musical farce entitled Les
Fetards," written by Mars Hennequin and
adapted with original lyrics by Harry b.
Smith. an original musical score having
been composed by Ludwig Englander. The
story is that OF an American girl, mar
ried to a wicked French marquis who be-
haves as such aristocrats do. especially on
the stage. She fails to fall into his ways
and instead of becoming "Parisanized'
she sits around and mopes, thinking that
1t is all very unfortunate. She eventually
gets little worldly wisdom and resolves to
do a little flirting herself not for the fiirta-
tion's sake, but merely as a medicinal dose
for her wayward husband. She Stimulates
an attachment for Maginnis Pasha, the Irish
Turk, and incidentally the funny man OF
the play. Mixed up with the story Is a
blase man of the world. who has tried
everything and found nothing in it," an
"up-t date American girl" and a host OF
Partisan jolly people.

me by a mutual friend: "Mr. and Mrs
Vice Consul General Hanauer, at Frankfort

Beart of the United States army and his
son, Victor Biart. The latter, a native
from Leavenworth, Kan, is a prodigy In

can vouch for the certainty of Mr.. Will
lis in announcing the Whitney Mockridge
Concert company as his great Young Mems
Christian association attraction for Thurs
day night next. Whitney Mockridge has
been heard here before on many occasions
and his beautiful tenor voice has never
failed to please. A certain disappointment
was felt last season over a concert given
supposedly by Whitney Mockridge and COM
pany. This attraction is not the same. The

The Diapersa1 of Animals.

The manner in which animals may be conveyed from one area or region to another by what may be called chance agencies has always formed R subject of much interest in the eyes of naturalists. The same opinion may be expressed of the dispersal of plants. Darwin found over so seeds in little clod of earth attached to the leg of a migrating bird; and we can readily imagine how such agen- cies serve to widen the distribution of life. Sir c. Lyell gives an instance of a pig-an animal populariy Believed to be anything but iafl adept at swimming being found far out at sea bravely making its way toward some haven of rest. Such animals as tortoises may easily be eonveyf yfed on driftwood over loiig. Tracts of ocean, A recent report of the indian marine survey gives a case in point. A fe. male leopard was brought down tile Moulmein river and cames aboard a cargo steamer. Then she swan to land and was thereafter dispatched
 Snakes were also found on the floats of the paddle wheels of the surveying steamer, having been carried down by the flood. A lucky settlement in a new territory thus implies the ex- tended distribution of race. It is interesting to note how greatly what we may call chance may influence the extension of life over the earth's sur- face.-London Chyonicle.~ hsa,.,..,,s

TRE WORLDS RAIL WAYS.

Mexico has over 15,o0o kilometers of railways.
 British railways pay income tax on g s36, 100000, mines and quarries on g 13, 3,420,0O0 year.
 Two ears, Fl feet long, with four mos tors, will soon be running on the ele- vated road between Berlin and Zossen, at speed of 125 miles an hour.
 Most western railroad companies are building cut-offs to shorten distance between Chicago and the Rocky Noun tains. About 15o miles in all will be saved. M
 A late suggestion to progressive railroad managers is to build freight roads ten feet gauge with 200-ton en- zines and cars holding 200 tons, which will make express speed.
 The railway companies entering Der lin have recently adopted the American plan i(with modifications) enabling passengers to check baggage to their homes before arrival of the train.
 At no time have there been so many enterprises in hand in the southwest for building railroad $ andelectric lines as now Requirements for material and supplies are pouring in on manu- lecturers.
 Often the dropping of a type makes the table announce the running of a train on time altogether different from the schedule. In such eases it is usual to make the train comply with the schedule until the latter can be changed.
 A scheme is on footrto carry aline of railway beyond the Victoria Falls, in Africa, and 300 miles to the nor tn where rich copper mines are said to await de- velopment. It is estimated that the coal traffic will be very large, sufficient to make the railway pay.
 English magazine writers are raising cry more like ahowl against British railway managers for clinging to lit tie engines, little cars and small loads, as against American immense engines, cars and loads, in consequence ot which freights there are four times higher than here.
 Next year promises to be the banner year in railroad building, and already orders are being rushed in for rails to be delivered next spring. A rumor is abroad that general western railway presidents are talking about building an immense independe rail mill.

 Although the population of Europe has increased only 33 per cent. in the last SO years, the number of children attending school has increased 150 per cent. in the same period.
 The Rush medical college, Chicago, which hitherto, has banned women, will now. admit them to the first two years of the course. Two years hence those entering now will prob ably be permitted to complete the course. The reform has to be. grad ual, it seems.

indian Coins.

The Indian famines have afforded coin collectors many opportunities to acquire rare and old coins, which have lain buried for "a great number of years. The native has always shown very. grave suspicion of banks, and has usually preferred to bury coins in what was considered a safe spot. Those hiding places are revealed by father to son, and the ac- cumulations sometimes go ion for generations. In dire extremity the hoard has to be trespassed on; coins which have long since become ex- ceedingly rare are thus brought to light, and are eagerly snapped up by collectors. Many of them are being sold in London at the present time. London Chronicle.s'

SUNDAY BALL GAMES.

Before an. audience of .1,5OO to 2,OOO people the Brooklyn A. c. added an- other game to Hs long list of victories by defeating the St JOseph's by a score of to 2 The game was more i Interesting and more closely contested l than the score indicates. It was one l of the prettiest contests of the season. Runs were scored in three innings only Awhile after the second inning one run only was made by both teams. Both hines wanted the game and conse- quently they had several new men Ewith them. Hoffman and Scanlon from Torrington for the B. 4. c. They also Ihad a center fielder from Thomaston. tHoar was brought here from New Brit ain to pitch for the St Joseph's while Sullivan new man from Portland, Twas at second for the same team. The St Joseph's started off like winners. After the B. A. c. had been blanked in 1.-the first inning. the St Joseph's secored two runs on two bases on balls and a lsingle. In the second. Hoar was slaugh- lfered. Seven runs were scored by the tB. A. c. on five base hits. several bases ion balls and several errors. In the third inning Therault was substituted sand a pretty pitchers battle ensued- fSix hits were made by the B. A. C. and ffive by the St Joseph's during the re- Emaining seven innings. In the eighth jinning the B. A. c. scored their eighth and last run. Hoffman's work was of Ifhe star order.
 At Waterville the -Jeffersons broke ffheir run of hard luck by administer ing a terrible trouncing to the St .t.Thomas Cadets The score was 13 to l and it was the second game which was trFon by the Jeffersons. Brown was in fhe box for the Jeffersons and only two hits were made off his delivery and he had number of strike outs to his credit. The Jeffersons had on their bathing clothes and simply didn't do a thing to the curves which were dished up to them.
 At Oakyile the Washington Hill A. C. increased their standing by defeat ing the Pastime A. c. by the score of ,23 to 5. A new pitcher was in the box for the Pastimes and the Washington Hill A. C. players took a fond liking to his delivery The winners played with Ifheir accustomed dash and vim. Myles pitched a fine game.
 Inasmuch as the Brooklyn A. c: and Washington A. c. won their games yes kerday the former did not increase it's lead in the race for the championship of fhe city. The St Joseph's fell back peg and the Cadets dropped a few points owing to their defeats respec- lively by the Brooklyn A. c. and the Jeffersons. Though the Brooklyn A. c. has good lead for this stage of the race, it Is not a safe one. Five games remain to be played and in addition the leaders have postponed game with the Jefrersons who have played fne bah against them this season The remaining games will be warmly con- tested and no doubt there will be an- other Importation of players from other cities. The standing is as follows:

DIXON TO A DRAW.

Denver. Aug 26.-George Dixon, cx- champion featherweight of the world, and Abe Attel of San Francisco, fought ten-round draw at the Colorado Ath- letic club Friday night. The contest was fast and both men slugged when ever possible. Dixon showed some anxiety because of his inability to land a knockout. Attel fought on the az gressive and was willing to mix mat ters with his opponent at any time. Dixon put Abe to the mat with a left to the chin in the first, but Attel came up smiling. In the mixes Attel seemed to have shade the better of the going and rained some hard body blows upon Dixon. The showing made by Attel was a revelation to the audience, IS it was thought he would not last over five rounds. Dixon weighed 116 pounds and Attel 109.

YACHT RACE A FAILURE.
A squaH Came Up and the Columbia
 @7 Finished Alone.

sAeE M lHlSueu At0HG.-
 New York, Aug 26.-A sharp sdualI accompanied by heavy rain thunder and lightning. spoiled the race Satur- day between the Constitution and Co lumbia, as the Constitution withdrew while the squall was at its height. When the rain and mist lifted the Co lumbia went on. finished the course and won the cup. The race was sailed on the Sound off Oyster Bay. The course was triangular and was to be sailed over twice. At the start the wind was light and came from the south-southeast. so that the yachts were able to reach around the triangle. The Columbia finished the first round 47 seconds ahead of the Constitution.
 When they reached the home mark on the first round the wind had shifted SO that they were able to carry spin- makers, and for about half the leg they sailed very close together, but the Con stitution was picking up on the Colum- bia. A squall then came up and the Constitution quit to avoid a collision, as the rain made it difficult to see more than boats length away.
 Sir Thomas Lipton, who saw the race, said: "The weather was bad for racing and think the Constitution did the right thing in stopping when she did.r
 Sir Thomas refrained from saying anything regarding the merits of either Lhe Columbia or the Constitution.

HANpLER AND .coRRIGAN.I !

Patsy Corrigan, the crack California middleweight, who is scheduled to fight Jimmy Handler of Newark to- night at New Britain, Is in fine shape for the contest. Corrigan has put in the last week at hard work at New Britain, and has put, polish to his condition, which, he says, Handler will find hard to rub off. Handler has also been doing some hard training, and he expects to give the Californian q good licking in much less than the twenty rounds the program calls for. As the men are in such fine shape the battle should be hummer from start to finish.

Their songs, however, are not pleasing to European ears The sing CT leans his jaw on his hand, as if he had toothache, and then emits a series of yells which are impossible to convert into words, but which are sup posed to form songs, nearly every word being followed by the word @Aman."
