This From Dryden.

Charles Dryden has the following to
say in the Philadelphia North Ameri-
cam today:
This town is still glowing with ex-
citement over Dels great feat yester-
day of allowing Seybold 10 score from
second on fly TO right field Dele
hanty thought he had a record, but Mr..
Lotus recalls that Bug Holiday turn
ed the same trick at Cincinnati some
years ago. Billy Hamilton ran home
from second while Bug was resting after
the catch. Del says he thought Seybold
was on third, and would score anyhow.
Socks says he is sprinter himself, and
that he wanted to show up the Senator'S
He did it all right.
THE leg epidemic continues to rage
among the local players. Six of them
are more or less wobbly on their pins.
and the second and third joints of Mr.
Lotus leg are beginning to crack loud
ly on pay days Demont and Drill are
out of the game, Robinson and Moran
play on crutches. and Del and Mr. Ryan
suffer darling pains when they get up q
rapid motion.
Such team discourages the fanatics
and the crowd is shrinking rapidly, like
cents worth of ice on a doorstep in
August. Lack of concerted action is
what the faithful few complain of. Lit
tie or no team work. they say, causes
heavy loss. Well, what else can they
expect. II a mans legs explode play
ing a lone hand, his arms would drop
of backing up some other fellows play.
So the frugal Senator's scratch along each
for himself, and making trips TO the
savings bank on the first and fifteenth
of the month. If Washington will not
support a ball team Mr.. PostaPs hotel
in Detroit is equal TO the job"

Weird and grotesque was the infieId
work OF the Senator'S yesterday Err
rors of omission are nowadays quite
as frequent as those of commission. So
many chances slip away from the totter-
Ing infielders that the fans have become
resigned to their fate, and greet every
accepted chance by the short field men
with open mouthed amazement. followed
by rounds of applause. Bill Coughlin,
ordinarily as safe and reliable as the
Bank of England, has become affected
by the epidemic and his work yesterday
was of a decidedly chrome yellow hue
Robinson and Moran were the prime
offenders, with Scoops Carey a close
third The latter. it may be added, is
hardly entitled to his sobriquet of
Scoops, any longer. since any throw a
little to one side, or in front of him, is
sure TO land somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of the players bench Carey has
not made good in any department of the
game this year. His stick work is way
off and his fielding average is the next
lowest in the league. He is VIGOROUSLY
slow on the bases, and as for putting a
bag, he was never known to.
The hitting of the team yesterday was
a trifie better Moran, Robinson, Sell
bach. and Ryan each got in two safe
ties. The ninth hit was made by Carey.
Delehanty was conspicuous by his in
ability to land on Plank. Once he reach
ed first on Davis error, but there he
died.
The work of the team is discouraging
in the extreme. One day the boys get
out and put up a game fairly scintillating
with brilliant fielding and then go to the
bat and go out in one. two, three or
der.
The next day. when they show some
inclination to bat, errors rain fast and
thick, and all chances of victory are
precluded by the ragged fielding.
Such in and out work is fast becoming
monotonous, as will soon be attested by
the decreased attendance at the games.

COLISEUM OPENS ITS

The Coliseum opens tonight for the
season of 1903, and for the first time In

those familiar with the racing game this
fact is a significant one, since it pre-

riders for the cracks.
The assignment of riders for each city
has been made out and published, and
those men are compelled to put IN their
appearance at the track to which they
are assigned thirty-six hours before
the tap of the gong. In accordance with
this irrevocable rule Basil De Guichard,
Bonnie Munroe. and George Leander ar
rived yesterday and at once repaired TO
tho bowl.
There the men tested their machines
and motors, and several lively workouts
were INDUCED in. Leander made rat

was so very, very good and when she
was bad was so horrid." And at this
time also, every woman wore a Psyche
knot. Do you recall the Psyche knot ?
Well, you occasionally see it on some
OF the women who married about the
time it was fashionab bic. There is a Ger
tain, type of woman who never changes
her style of hair-dressing after she is
married.
The Psyche knot was not exactly
suited to a turned-up nose but it was
fashionable. o. Fashion, what crimes

From the plain part and the exposed
forehead was but a step to the pompa-
dour which has been lin" with varia-
tons, for at least five years. We have
had the high rolling pOmpadour, the
straight pompadour; the frowsly pom
padour; the parted pompadour; the
pompadour that extends out over the
forehead like a shelf; the pompadour
that is all in the middle and the pom
padour that is all on the sides; the
pompadour that exposed the ears in
boldest outlines and the pompadour
that hid them as a dark disgrace. With
the pompadOur came the high coiffure
bunch on top of the head and over the
forehead or mere wad, the insignificant
remnant not required by the exaggerat-
ed demands of the style of dressing the
front hair.
This style called for a great deal in
the way of materials, instruments and
impedimenta. Every woman wore two
sidecOmbs and from one to three back
combs beside hairpins, ornamental pins,
aigrettes, bows and flowers Between
facts at the theater one could always
find diversion by counting the orna-
ments on the head of the woman just
in front. About the time you were
started the curtain would go up and
you would lose count and have to be-
gin all over the next act. There was
an expert accountant once who actually
did the trick one night when the stage
was being set for a particularly elab-
crate scene. although he couldn't hold
the figures in his head until he got out

FOUND WILSON'S COAT.
Discovered Today on the Rock Island
Bridge.

A new chapter was added to the
Emera E. Wilson disappearance case
this morning when his hat and coat
were found in the girders of the Rock
Island bridge across the Kaw river.
The find was made by Peter Allen
dorf, who is employed in the. Rock
Island yards. He was examining the
block system wires across the bridge
when he discovered the bundle, neatly
rolled up and poked down into a v
the center of the bridge. Upon examin-
alton the bundle proved to be coat and
a buff colored hat, such as fremen
wear, with "E. E. Wilson written in
pockets if the coat contained three or
four letters written some time ago, one
of which was written by Wilson and
never mailed, and was in answer to a
letter from another man which was
found in the same pocket.
In the letter Wilson promised to meet
the man in Kansas City July 10 and
confer with him regarding a wheat deal
The key to the room occupied by Will
son while at the Throop hotel was also
found in a side pocket to the coat. 1t
was number 70, and has been identified
by the hotel people. A porter at the
Throop identified the hat having no.
ticed the name inside while Wilson was
stopping there.
Wilson disappeared Saturday morning,
July T. and if he did commit suicide, Is
his actions and the finding of the hat
and coat would indicate, his body has
been in the water a week, and should
have risen to the surface before now.
The current in the river is quite swift
at the point where the find was made,
and the body would probably have been
carried far down stream. There is still
a chance that Wilson may have pur-
poseIy placed the clothing where it was
found to carry out the deception and
then eSCaped a train.

in the twinkling of an eye all the gentle
sisterhood showed a straight white line
from the crown of the head almost TO
the forehead. The slight fringe curls
were still retained for a time but pres
emily they too disappeared and the hair
was brushed smoothly back like a Puri-
tan's maid and plastered down over the
ears in the fashion made famous by
Cleo de Merode. Partisan danseuse and
one-time favorite of Leopold of Ba-
Varia.
The plastered hair, guiltless of curling
tong or kid-roller, was the natural reac-
ton from the state of excessive wooli-
ness just preceding it. The short haired
woman had been abroad in the land
not the short haired woman demanding
the ballOt-and equal rights-but an
airy, fairy. frivolous type with her hair
in soubrettish ringlets all over her head.
Half the women bobbed off their hair
and the others hid their long braids I'M
der masses of close cropped bangs. en-
circling their heads and curled all over
as tightly as Dahomey maidens. Ev-
cry woman you met had a head that
looked large. Her hair stood up and out
and all around her hat so that it
seemed TO nestle down among the curls.
The severely plastered locks which
followed the tightly curled ones were
with US but a little while The style
was never generally popular. Almost
every woman modified it more or less TO
suit her own tastes. These were the
days when some affected the curl in the

lar
Along with the new style of back
hair dressing comes rumor that the
pompadour is doomed and that the
front OF the hair is to be worn in the
English fashion popular for children
Tor several seasons. Rats" are to be
removed and pompadours plastered
down, the front hair parted away over
the left side, drawn smoothly back
from the forehead and tied with a big
tafteta bow at the top and side of the
head. The hair is then to be braided
from the crown and allowed to hang
down the back with another bow at
the neck and the ends curled. A pin
IN clover leaf, wreath boW-knot or
some other conventional design fastens
the braid Just at the top of the curled
ends
The fashion will be pretty and pic
tureSGue on a girl of sixteen who could
mt be otherwise than charming if she
tried and it will go well with those
big flOrOdOra seXtette hats which flare
up in front and flop down behind and
have punches of roses noddins on the
edge of the brim. With the severe
lines of the walking hat affected by
some women of the uncomprOmisingly
superior type it would not be so appro-
pirate y sour cast of Visage too us
ually goes with this style of hat. and
that would make the combination even
more impossible.
1t Is really no objection if nature
haS-not provided a woman with enough
hair to arrange in the new style There
is more than one way of managing
these things. In case the obvious
methods of making the supply meet
the demand are resorted to much care
should be taken in the selection of hair
pins. There are certain stages of the
game when it would jar man when
he was playfully pulling at one of
those coquettish curls to have it come
or IN his hand. He would get used to
that sort of thing in time, of course
but the wise girl will fasten her braids

His Neck Was Broken.

San Francisco, July 1.-THE police of
this city are confronted with a murder
case that is shrouded in absolute mys-
terry The body of a man was found last
night on the streets in an outlying
residence district and when removed
to the morgue a superficial examina-
ton disclosed a knife wound in the
neck The wound in itself was not
sufficient to have caused death. The
autopsy surgeon made closer inspection
and found that the skull had been frac-
tured and the vertebrae at the neck
broken The surgeon declares that the
man had evidently been murdered. The
man was identified as Joseph Hausl, a
German brewer, who came to this city
two days ago from Vallejo.
