REckLEssNEss OF LIFE.
n the Chicago Record-Herald.

From the CnlcaBO HecOrd-Herald.
 During the month of May 1S4 persons are reported to have been injured in street car accidents in Chicago, and six were killed. The number of separate ac- cidents was 132. June started in on it's first day with the killing of one man and the serious injuring of another by a trolley car at Polk and Clark streets.
 If Chicago were not at heart careless and indifferent toward the destruction of human life. the few words that are re- quired to state these facts would rouse such storm of protesting public opinion that accidents in the future would be few and far between. The facts will have no more effect on reckless Chicago. how ever, than the death and mutilaton re- sulting from the first fireworks explosion of the season will have in preventing our annual Fourth of July slaughter.
 Motormen on trolley cars are anxious to keep up with their schedule time. Pas sengers are angry a every delay. Pedes- trians have their own rush and hurry and all of them trust to luck to pull them through each trip and each day without harming or being harmed. despite the risks they take. The death roll is the re- suit.

BASEBALL NOTES.

From the games so far played by the Iron Men 1t has developed that the teams principal weakness Is in hitting. While they play beautiful fielding game, and in fact lead the league in fielding, they are sadly off in hitting and this will have to be remeded before Manager O'Brien can have hopes of winning the pennant. It takes hits to win games and 1t takes good fielding to keep the other fellows from winning. In Brown, Vaughan, Duffy and O'Brien Birmingham has reliable hit ters but the other men can not be depend ed upon for hits at opportune times, ac- cording to their records so far this sea- son. If Manager O'Brien can secure about two or three more good hitters his future will be bright.
 Billie Campbell pitches against Mem phis today and it's an even bet that he will break the lucky streak of the Frank furters.
 In view of several arguments recently the sporting editor of The Age-Heraid has been asked to explain the method of dividing the gate receipts as between the home and visiting clubs The visiting club gets fifty per cent or one half of the general gate receipts not including the extra charges for grandstand seats. In other words they get 12h cents for every person who pays admission to the park. The extra 25 cents charged for the grandstand goes to the home club and Is not considered by the visiting club al all. The bleacherite counts just as much for the visiting club as the grandstander.
 It is rumored by the Iron Makers that when Clark prespires the players collect the precipitation to fill the ice water bags. He Is as cool as cucumber.
 The game at Memphis will be detailed by Admiral Oscutt at OBrien's Opera House this afternoon
 Jimmy OBriens record yesterday was something remarkable. Out of five times at the bat he hit three-bagger, a two- bagger and two singles and three runs. He stole three bases. made a sacrifice hit. put out three men, made two assists. started double play and no errors.

The Art of Dressing.

From the New York Star.
 The time was when it was reproach levied against clever women that they could not dress well. Look where you will nowadays. this is disapproved. Go to any meeting in which women speak or put in an appearance at woman's club where the majority of the fair sex are doing something in the world Of lltera- ture or art, and you will see that in the matter of fashion and style they are able to hold their own with the most feather headed butterfly of fashion. They bring their common sense, their knowledge of the world, and the income their wits pro- vide them to bear on dress. and so many of them have acquired the subtle art of putting on clothes. virtues which the so- ciety butterflies have claimed for their own. Moreover, they are acquiring what the best bred women only did acquire at one time-the art of knowing when to wear their clothes--in fact the suitability of rament. It is not a difficult task to dress becomingly with a pretty face and a good figure. but one of the features of our day is that the modern woman seems to have the power of making herself good looking. or. at all events of looking we'll The art of dressing is to render a squat figure 1.-the Tn appearance at all events. and the overtall woman of moderate height the short one of fair stature. Unhappiy, there are more women who can spend a great deal of money on dress than know when and what to wear and how to put on their clothes. They intro duce their jewelry al the wrong time, and too much of 1t. Happily women are no longer hung in chains (not the fashion able ones) but 1t Is more chic to ap- pear with some antique ornament that goes with the texture and style of the gown than to be blaze ofdiamonds. Jew elry, bodice bouquets. ties and such ad- denda require more attention often than the choosing of the dress itself.

New Pitchers Do Well.

Stockdale and Best made their first ap- pearance for their respective clubs, and the battle of the debutantes were enjoyed by the mammoth assemblage. Stoekdale had the better of strike-outs but Best al- lowed only one clean hit, a grounder that swept through Werden and Evans from Busch's bat, Child's hit being a high bounding ball that Glenn failed to handle back of the slab. Umpire Keefe called on a policeman to escort Catcher Clark from the grounds during the sixth round Clark had used his tongue frequently and finally duclxed his head allowing a swift shoot from Stockdale to land squarely on the deformed umpires chest. The victory of the local team today gave them their sixth game from Montgomery this season and marked the seventh straight win.

New Orleans, June 7.--(Special.) 1.-The Iron men lit into Wen French this after noon, hammered out fifteen 'hlts that net ted ten runs and romped away with the last game of the series by asscore or lO to ?. The poor Pelican birds>could con meet safely in only one inning. This was the seventh when Hurley singled, Atz was handed a free pass and both came in off Montgomery's two baggnr to right center. Six little hits all well scattered was all that Clark would allow,the home guard, while the Iron makers had fun with French from beginning tosend.
 The first large dolngs came insthe third when three husky ball players crossed the plate. Duffy started things by re- ceiving a free pass to first, went to third when French threw wild to first, and came in on O'Brien's single. oBrien stole second, went out to third on Yaughans sacrifice and scored on Browns single. Millar was hit by wild one and Lighton drove clean hit that brought in | Il. guire drew a free pass but Clark went out on an inheld bounder and retired the side.
 Something Doing. In the seventh Vaughan, the first man up, walked, advanced on Browns single and scored on Lawler's line drive by third Brown scored on a wild pitch to Hurley. It was in the last half of this inning that the Pelican birds came sail ing in but the Iron men got right back at them in the eighth and recovered the two runs. Duffy shot one down to Brouthers like rifle ball. The Pelican handled 1t in magnificent shape and re- tired Duffy at the plate. It was pretty pice of ball playing. Lawlers bounder over Montgpmery's head scored both O. 'Brien and Brown. Milar got a single in this same inning but no one came to his rescue
 In the ninth there was more doings Mcguire was hit by a pitched ball. Clark hit a hot one to third that was handled in great shape and Duffy pounded out a | two o-bagger. OBrien sent a line drive sail | ing to right center for three bags and both Mcguire and Duffy scored. O'Brien came in on Vaughans speedy liner over short The inning ended with Brown be- Ing robbed out of hit by Atz that gave chance for a sensational double Vaughan being forced at second and Brown being retired at first. It was a | great piece of work.

BOOZE LEAVES HOSPITAL.
The Young North Carolinian Who Attempted
suicide in Norfolk is Released.

Tuesdays Norfolk Virginian- Pilot.)
Bruce Booze, the young North Caro-
linian who created something of a sem
sation in police circles last Saturday
night by attempting to kill himself with
razor, was Monday discharged from
St. Vincent Hospital, having sufficiently
recovered from his injuries as to make
it unnecessary to remain longer at the
institution. About the same hour that
Booze left the hospital his wife took her
departure from the Union Mission, where
she had been sent by the police authori
tics to be cared for until her husband was
able to give her support. The couple met
each other somewhere down town and
have not been seen since.
It was reported that the young man
and his wife left the city yesterday af-
ternoon, but this could not be verified. 1t
was stated yesterday at st. Vincent Hos
pital that Booze seemed anxious to OBJ
tain his discharge, and, although Mrs.
Booze told the police pitiful tale of
want and poverty Saturday night, she,
too, seemed in haste to get away from the
Union Mission.
1t is said that Booze is well connected
in North Carolinl and that he has
wealthy relatives residing in that State.
Several weeks ago he went to Newark,
n. j., where he married Miss, Mary Par
ker. an attractive young lady of that
city. Shortly after their mariiags theT
came to Norfolk. After walking the
streets more than a month in a vain
attempt to procure employment, with his
mind brooding continually over both real
and imaginary troubles, the young man
became temporarily unbalanced mentally.
and in a fit of madness he slashed his
throat with razor.
In a statement made to a reporter
by Mrs. Booze she said she and her hus-
band would probably leave the city in
day or two and return to Newark,
where she has relatives and friends.
