FLEMING HERE
SLAB ARTIST, INCA
FACILITATED FOR A WHILE BY
BROKEN FINGERS AND
HAY FEVER.

Pitcher Ralph Fleming of the Evans
Vile Baseball Club arrived in Wheel
ing yesterday and remained here until
the departure of NO. for Fairmont.
Fleming is in no shape to do any
tossing, as two fingers on his left
hand are broken and give him intense
pain every time he bats, and, to add to
his misery, he has had an attack of
hay fever, all of which have conspired
to place him for the time being OH
the hospital list.
Fleming's work at Evansville lately,
barring once or twice when he was
bumped, has been as good as any twirl-
er's on the Evansville club: but owing
to rank support he has been unfor-
trnate enough to lose several hard
fought games. In twelve inning
game recently his teammates liter
ally bungled the game away. Flerl-
ing will rest up for a while and join
the team when it comes here next
Wednesday.
Fleming regards Heine Deiters as
the best third baseman in the Central
League.
II never saw any one stand up in
front OF the line drives like he Does
says the Evansville twistmeister. THE
ordinary third baseman would let well
enough alone. Deiters is, to my mind
the best guardian of the angle sack in
the Central League
In a conversation yesterday the writ
err said he would like to see Wheeling
end in either first or second place.
so would T. cIlimed in Fleming.
# Fleming has bouquets for Deiters,
he also has for Pop Schriver, who, he
thinks, is one Of the headiest players
in the business, and says Fleming:

vile, who is in the game from the start
TO the finish now on the coaching line,

SO that when a game is ended Cross is
generally all in. With the good pitch

is mighty oiscouragins at times. =

Fell From a Swing.

Fred. the little son of vivid"
1sidgely, of the Fifth ward. had a
very close call for his life yesterday
evening. He and some other small
boys were playing with an old swing.
Fred seems to have been pushing the
others. and held on to the swing,
and when ten or twelve feet from the
ground loosed his hold and fell, strilI-
ing the ground with great force. His
back struck across board, and IL
was thought at first that his back
was broken. DR.. Holland examined
the boy and pronounced his injuries
not necessarily dangerous. Later in
the evening he was taken home and
he is now getting along Very we'll.

Miss Pangborn is the daughter Of
Joseph G. Pangborn who held a posi-
ton in the land department of the
Santa Fe. The family left Topeka late
in the eighties.

dressmakers that one she most admires.
The 1 900 costumes to be exhibited are
to be the most exquisite creations of
modern French art.

at the Auditorium upon the occasion
of its opening. Arthur Beresford was
heard here a good many years ago.
Mrs Genevieve Clark Wilson's
name is too familiar to the musical
public to call for extensive details of
her talent and her achievements.
During the eight seasons which Mrs.
Wilson has devoted to public singing
she has broadened in her art until she
IS recognized throughout the country
as one of the foremost OF American
singers. Everywhere, under varied
conditions, from single solo numbers
to long and sustained OratOriO roles
and recitals, she has met with IN
bounded success. There is not a
prominent orchestra in the country
with which Mrs. Wilson has not ap-
peared, and her career is significant
in the many re-engagements made by
the various clubs under whose
auspices she appears.
Mrs. Wilson's success is that
achieved by beauty of voice, sincerity
of purpose and untiring and intelli-
gent labor added to a personality
which convinces the hearer at once
that she viii do well whatever she I'M
r dertakes.
Arthur Beresford, the eminent Eng
fish basso. although of British birth
and education, has for several sea-
sons made his home in Boston, and
has speedily become the busiest, best
and most favorably known singer of
that city, or in fact, of all New Eng
land. He has appeared in more than
two hundred concerts throughout this
country during the last two years,
both in miscellaneous and oratorio
work, and esta bIished a magnificent
reputation for himself, having
achieved unfailing successes.
His voice is a remarkable basso
cantante of great power and compass
possessing a most resonant timbre in
fero hill T,n
voice it has all the richness and
beauty of a tenor robustO. He is nat
urally an emotional dramatic singer
and through his training under the
greatest masters, has developed his
artistic powers and vocal resources
until the slightest contrasts of light
and shade in tone or sentiment, are
readily portrayed.
BY reason of these extraordinary
vocal and artistic powers, Mr.. Beres-
ford is capable of doing most satisfac-

A year ago Frank Pixley had con-

that the doctors were right.

when we have this Sanitarium the
actor can come here when he is in

financial worry, for there will be no
charges of any kind. In many cases
he will be cured, in every case greatly

1T is impossible to get these con-

HER CHOICE OF GOWNS

In a recent issue of the Chicago
American two pages are devoted to
Miss Mary Pangborn, who has been
honored by the French government.
The article says she is from Baltimore,
which is true, but it neglects to men
ton the fact that Miss Pangborn is a
native of Topeka. She was born here
in what is known as the King block or
West Sixth avenue, between Kansas
avenue and Jackson street.
