T. ]. Kelly is acting as secretary
pro tenn of the street fair during the
absence of Mr.. ALT Wright. BE finds
that it keeps him pretty busy answer
ing all the inquiries. First someone
will want privileges on bowery, the
next on striking machine, the next
on cane rack, and so on. OF course
he has nothing to do with the priv.
ileges, there is committee appointed
for that purpose. Tonight there will
be meeting OF the different commit
tees when 1t is expected that all will
get to work in earnest. Mr.. Kelly is
also getting many letters OF inquiries
in regard to concessions, and he is very
careful in this matter, nothing but the
best and on high moral plane will be
tolerated. The cheap-John outfits will
not be represented in any way what
ever, the street fair will be free from
anything OF this nature. OF course
there will be the man with the strik,
ing machine, knock the babies down
ETC., but we have them every Fourth
of July. In short time the commit
tee will be in readiness to announce
the list of free attractions and give oul
people an idea OF just what will take
place.

BASEBALL IN EARLY TIMES.
When the Players Were Chosen More
for Their Vocal Powers Than
Knowledge of the Game.

1t was on those rural fields in the
heyday of baseball that the sport, if
less refined, was more picturesque.
That the game was vocal goes with the
saying. Not far away from the truth
was the'country captain who described
his team as ''men who can't bat much,
or field much, but first-rate takers"
To dispute the umpire on every close
decision was orthodox duty-a fashion
not yet outlived-and it made the rural
ball game forensic as well as spectacu-
lar says Outing.
The country umpire, who was usu-
ally selected by the home team, merits
his specific picture. In the earlier days
of the sport he was chosen for knowl-
edge of the rules simply because the
opposing bucolic mines had so little
knowledge themselves. Later, technical
lore became somewhat secondary as
a credential, and in the ideal rural UNI
pire was sought kind, of Boanerges-
a Son of Thunder, believing out his
decisions until the welkin echoed, and
able, on the one hand, either t o placate
the crowd by good temper or to daunt
1t with strong speech. That is to say,
the umpire of the time and placehad to
own no middle terms of personal tenn
permanent, but be either extremely
crisp or superlatively goodnatured and
tactful.

BIRDS THAT CAN TALK.
A Rose Breast ed G ros b ak That Ma d.
q COmpl imentary Remark
to His Mate.

Prof. Scott, of Princeton, says that
wild birds sometimes introduce varia-
tons into their songs, and again, more
rarely, initiate not only the songs of
other birds, but the barking of dogs,
mechanical sounds, like the creaking
of wheels, the filing of saw, and even
human speech. writer in Bird-Lore
gives this well-authenticated incidents:
Zone morning while | was standing
on my back steps | heard a cheerful
voice say: You are a pretty bird.
Where are you"
81 wondered how any parrot could
talk loudly enough TO be heard at that
distance, for the houses on the street
behind us are not near Presently
the voice came again, clear, musical
and strong: you are a pretty bird.
Where are you"
"For several days | endured the sus-
pense of waiting for time to investi-
gate. Then l chased him up. There
he was in the top of a walnut tree, and
his gorgeous attire told me immediate
~ that he was a rose-breasted gros-
beak.
"At the end of week he was SAYING:
Pretty, pretty bird, where are yon?''
He and his mate stayed near us all
last summer, and this spring they came
again. He is making the same remark,
as plainly s ever a bird can speak"

SURPRISING NOTICES.
An Educated Chinamnn Translates

ciety Lady's Belt.

One of the latest fads is the wearing
of belts ornamented with Chinese
characters In silver. The characters
are generally chosen at random, for,
as few persons can read Chinese, the
meaning of the hieroglyphfcs is re
garded as of no Importance. Never
theless, in the case of one of the belt
ed beauties, the fashion had an ex-
tremely droll result. Quite lately she
met an educated Chinese gentleman,
who expressed his admiration of the
sentiments set forth in the lettering
on her belt. at is beautiful" he said

are unusual in your country" "Oh,
the sentiments" replied the gratified
owner of the adornment, do tell me

peated several times over know they

A CHESS-PLAYING TOWN.
Ono of the Require of Every
Inhnbitant of Village
I'm Hungary.

THERE'S in Hungary a village probab-
ly unique among the worlds towns, in
that it not only encourages chess as a
pastime, but insists that the king of
games shall be played by every man,
woman and child in the place.
1t LIS just as necessary in this out-of-
the-world spot for the inha bitants to
be proficient chess players as it is for
them to be able to read, write and
cipher. Prizes are given to the school
children for proficiency in cheese.
Problems are given to the scholars
that they are expected to take home
and work out in their spare hours in
addition to their other tasks.
Hungary has long been famous for
her chess players. Indeed, this little
village has, as can be well understood,
turned out more than one playee who
has been considered fit to rank
with such giants as Lasker, Steinitz or
Tchigorin.
Every Christmas great tournament
is held In the village, and the burgo-
master gives prizes for the best ju-
venile and adult players.
