ROGERS TWO-BACCER.
Game Between Champions and Old
 Timers Yesterday.

New York, Oct s.-There was q game of base ball at the Polo grounds yesterday, and those who witnessed 1t sat for nearly two hours while the team that won the National league pennant in 1889 and the present cham pions played humorous pranks OH one another in the diamond. The final score was 10 to in favor of the pres.
 ent New Forks. The McGrawites gen. orally did not try very hard. Jiin O'Rourke and George Gore made home runs that would not have been singles if the fielders had gone after them. The team of '89 went to the bat as fol- lows: Jim O'Rourke, c; Roger Con- nor, Ib; Hatfield, ss; Silent Mike' Tiernan, %: Whitney, Sb; Dan Brouth,

CTS, If; Hornung, If; George Gore, of; and Smiling Mickey" Welch, D.
 The old timers did not score until the sixth inning. In the interval Dan Brouthers made two consecutive sin gles and was heartily applauded. Rog- CT Connor took advantage of AmeS's s lobbing the ball up to smash it for two bases. In the sixth inning Wiltse de, liberately dropped Whftney's long fly, and Hornung tapped one toward Don- lin. which he let roll to see if 1t could not be stretched into home run. Whitney scored. Tn the seventh Mertes went in to pitch, and the old ones made three more runs. Jim ORourke hit one to Dunn and he did not field 1t until Jim had completed the circuit
 Donlih surprised Brouthers by turn ing away from his long fly and eaten ing it with one hand behind his back. Gore got run in the eighth, after ne had made a real tWo-bagger, ana Luther Taylor, who had relieved Welch in the sixth inning, flied out. to Dunn Two errors in the ninth put Brothers and Hornung on the bags. An im1ta- ton home run by Gore brought in three runs.
 In the fifth inning Emslie called the game, but the crowd didn't intend to be deprived of the least bit of the Duf' foonery, and the fourteen men who sat in the front row of the bleachers, making a noise something like stage army, demanded that the game go the limit so insistently that the umpire changed his decision. The old timers took the full count.

Toys from Paving Blocks.

An ingenious use has been found for the discarded wood blocks with which the London streets are paved. Several toy manufacturers now purchase all these blocks which are not damaged in the process of being torn up, for the purpose of making cheap toys out of them. Owing to the fact that the raw material is purchased so cheaply the home manufacturers are in a position to undersell considerably the foreign competitors.

one spoke of it. And the beautiful part was that he didn't know 1t at aln He was such bluff straight-out-from-the- shoulder sort of chap. and then, hisuni- form was most becoming. The white dusk and brass buttons, with shoulder straps of blue and gold, the navy uni form of the orient is becoming to most officers.
 The coachman drove to the same spot at which he had stopped the evening be- fore, twisted the reins around the whip, stepped down from the box, and strolled away to smoke cigarette. He knew from his previous experience that his services would not be needed for at least half an hour. As for the rest, cigarette smoking is so common among the na- tive servants of the Philippines. that neither occupant of the victoria thought anything of 1t. They were too interested in themselves; were glad he was gone. as he obstructed the view, and, besides, unconventionality is in the oriental air.

 "Really?"
 Really"
 II thought you would forget mel But now that you haven't, am going to tell you that am perfectly delighted to see you back! I have thought of you SO many times since you have been away, and wondered if you ever thought of me. Wasn't it lovely of Admiral Evans to an- rhor you all here in the bay?'
 Yes, it was very nice of him."
 This remark was occasioned by the fact that Admiral Evans, then in com mand of the fleet, had ordered all of the war vessels at Cavite to anchor just outside the breakwater at Manila so that all of the fleet could be within easy reach of the city for day or two. The order was appreciated ashore as well as aboard the vessels.

Boot Signs in China.

Visitors to China are particularly
struck by the numbers of pairs of boots
hung in separate wooden cages in
the archway of the main west gate of
Hsuanhua, the valedictory gifts of ben
eficial projects. 1t is an attractive GUS
tom in China to invite a departing
magistrate whose rule has been popu-
lar to leave pair of old boots for sus-
pension in prominent place as hint
to his successor to follow in his foot
steps. It is d considerable honor to be
asked to leave these boots, and the
people make the request all the more
eagerly because they believe in the eff
cacy of the hint.

Whelks as Money.

Dewarra, currency of New Britain.
is an instance of how the spoils of the
chase may be turned to account as the
outward and visible sign of wealth.
Dewarra is made by stringing the
shells of a dog-whelk upon the ribs of
palm leaves. These strings may be re-
tailed at so much a fathom-usually
the price is equivalent to about three
shillings fathom length-or they may
be made into various articles of per-
sonal adornment to be worn on great
occasions. In New Britain the dewarra
boarded up by a rich man is produced
at his funeral and divided amongst
his heirs in much the same kind OF
way as personal property is divided
amongst us.

HIS CHARM.

Of course, I know he's homely,
His thinning hair is red.
His necktie often worn aWry,
His common name is Ted;
His hand is something like ham,
And when he bows-oh, my.
But you forget ii as you catch
The twinkle in his eye.
I know he isn't college bred,
His language boasts no frills;
He keeps the story to himself
Of all his pains and ills;
Great-grandpapa he never had,
OF gold he's somewhat shy,
But there's a sign he's seldom sad
The twinkle in his eye.
I've known him but little while,
He lives across the way;
My mother frowns upon his suit
And bids me say him MAY
Yet he can twist that Nay" to Yea"
And make misgivings fly,
For Cupid tipped the arrow with
That twinkle in his eye!

STEAM VS.. ELECTRICITY.
Rate Cuts to Met Competition OF
Trolley Found by Railroad Man
ayers to Be Futile.

The steam railroads vary greatly iii
their attitude toward electric competi-
ton, but it has been almost the uni
form experience of railroad managers
east and west, that rate cuts to meet
electric competition are quite futile
says Ray Morris, in Atlantic. Electric
transportation handles traffic in small
units. The power house is the loco
motive, and it can haul ten single cars
as easily as it can train Of ten cars
coupled together-more easily, in fact.
But in steam service, to reverse the
figure of speech each transportation
unit must have it's own power house
Disregarding technical refnements, il
may be said that it would cost 4
steam railroad five times as much to
run an hourly, single-car train during
a 15-hour day as it would to run three
five-car trains. That is the primary
reason on the side of absolute cost
which makes it impossible for steam
road to compete with an electric road
for light short-haul traffic.

BEAR CANNOT BE TRUSTED.
Supposed Docile Grizzly Kills His
Keeper Without the Slight
est Warning.

Another distinct type of zoo rogue
is the beast that goes wrong owing to
accidental temptation-like Shaggy, an
exceedingly intelligent, tractaDle
Rocky mountain grizzly, who reverted
to sayagery and turned man killer in a
twinkling, owing to the unfortunate
misstep and fall of his trainer, says
McClure's Magazine.
Shaggy was a big, handsome, gray
old fellow, with a jungle thick coat
and numbering, awkward gait, and
funny twinkle that made him particu-
larly adaptable for his part of clown
in remarkably trained group of II
bears He had come under the hands
of his teacher when but helpless cub.
had never lost his liking for caresses.
and, although the mightiest beast in
the collection, was least suspected OF
being dangerous. Once, when
striped hyena hung to the ankle of his
friend, he had run to the rescue, had
cut loose right and left with his pon~
derous forepaws, and had bitten and
torn and mangled the ugly beast to
death before he could be beaten off.
Among his accomplishments were that
of turning admirably grotesque somer-
saults and the more difficult feat Of
balancing himself on his hind legs on
a three-foot wooden sphere.
Not scratch or scar had his
trainer to show for the years of work
he had put in with the bear And yet,
without an instant's warning, this
same beast attacked and injured his
master, so that when rescued, he was
semidemented and so dreadfully cut
and lacerated that the surgeons decid-
ed it useless to try to save his life.
