This is the season of the year

the center of the STAGE said the
growler, land you will find that I'M

other things, when men are really

DO you know what the score was to-
day?' Here is a crowd of gentlemen
discussing some serious question of
state, and they are weighing problems
of great import, and they are grave
and sedate and wear worried looks,
when suddenly the base ball fiend
busters into the crowd and asks:
day?' Go into the newspaper office.
The wires are all busy carrying the
story of some fearful disaster some
where which has resulted in the dea.h
of thousands of persons, when sud-
denly the telephone rings, and an ex-
cited fellow at the other end of the
line asks, Will you please tell me
what the score was to-day?' That's
the way it goes. 1t is simply one of
the things of the season, and l suppose

they hardly knew what they told the
police.
A third time the intruder shot and
again the bullet sped true, striking Mr..
Hill near the right shoulder
Mr.. Hill, how it is not explained, got
out of bed and staggered towards the
man. One more shot was fired. This
time it struck on the bed near Mrs.
Hills head. Mr.. Hill had dropped his
revolver. Or at least it was found in
the middle of the bed when the police
came, filled with blood.
While some of the police officials de-
clare they have adopted the burglar
theory of the case, they admit many
facts to be unexplained still.
They admit that the average burglar
does not break down a door when en-
tering a room in which there are peO-
pie sleeping.
Neither can they reconcile the fact
that the burglar or burglars when dis
covered and shot at by Mr.. Hill re-
turned his fire and then advanced to
his bed and fired two more shots at
close range.
The average burglar prepares for a
"get away" the moment he is discov-
cred. Then again, there are many
facts to indicate that the persons who
entered the house are familiar with
the premises.

Mr.. Robertson, Democrat or Louisi
ana, is rapidly earning the enmity OF
every free-trader, and especially the
bitter hatred of Pitchfork Tillman,
the sworn foe of business men and
their employees. Congressman Robert
son proposed to spend s2,50O,0 900 for
the improvement of the harbor of Ha-
vana to relieve Cuba by furnishing
work for all who might need employ
ment. This, he thinks, would be far
better than lowering the duties and
turning out of work tens of thousands
of American laborers unless they sub.
NIT to a serious cut-down. Such pro-
lection sentiments from Louisiana, if
uttered in the presence of Shotgun
Tillman, would have called forth the

Members of the police differ radically
