Farce and Clowns Were the JOY OF

Few men Of any rank or time have
ever derived SO much unaffected pleas.

In fact, in the words Of contempt.
rary, it was "as good as play to hear
the royal laughter and note the genu-
Inc enjoyment Of his majesty" HE
is said," Thackeray wrote, mot to
have cared for Shakespeare or tragedy
much. Farces and pantomimes were
his joy, and especially when the clown
swallowed a carrot or a string of sau-
sages he would laugh so outrageously
that the lovely princess by his side
would have to say, My gracious, mon
arch, do compose yourself! And he
continued to laugh and at the very
smallest farces as long as his poor wits
were left him.
So frequent were Georges visits to
the theater that This face was the most
familiar in London to playgoers, who
took no more notice of his presence
than if he had been a simple citizen,
except when his boisterous laughter
drew attention to him and started 9TH

ton" AS familiar spectacle as that
Of his majesty purple and rolling with
laughter was to see him sleeping as
peacefully as child between the acts.
So partial was he to actors that he
permitted and even smiled at liberties
which he would have resented in any
one else. On one occasion, when Par
sons was playing in ''The Siege of Ca
lais," the actor walked toward the box
in which George was sitting and ad-
dressed him in the words of his part:

admire my scaffold would say: Hang

The Evolution Of the Pen.
The patent office at Washington has
a collection of pens that illustrates the
difficulties with which men had to con-
tend before they found a suitable in
strument with which to write. There
are the styluses used by the ancient,
the instruments for writing on wax
tablets, one end sharp like an awl, the
other fiat like paper cutter. There
are the brushes used by the Japanese
and Chinese and quilts Of every vari-
ETY., together with an infinite number
Of steel pens. But the most curious
are some quill pens with steel points.
They were made in an effort IN do.
away with the constant necessity for
the mending Of the pen, process that
few could perform properly and that
everybody hated. The effort was very
ingenious, but unsuccessful, because
the points could not be made to stay.

FIGHT ON THE FIELD.

Oklahoma City, o. T., Nay 3.-After
the Topeka White Sox had practically
won yesterdays game by batting Marie
out OF the box, the old standby Ha1la,
was sent in upon the rubber in the sew
enth inning, and his effective pitching
braced up the men behind him, so that
Oklahoma City by a hard batting rally
in the eighth inning finally won the con-
test on Tuesday afternoon by a score Of
u to 9, giving the Nets three out of
four of the opening series.
This practically gives Halla the credit
for winning the entire trio of contests
On last Saturday. the opening day, he
shut out the Sox completely. On Sun
day, after Jack Root blew up in the
sixth inning and promised to be fruit
for the Topeka crowd, Halla was sub
stituted and won the game. Again yes
terday. after Marie had proved to be a
balloon ascension, the little Southpaw
was put in charge of the service de-
partment and got away with another
credit mark for his team.
Altogether hits We're made off the
Oklahoma, pitchers, while safe ones
were picked off Nick Carriers ben
derinos. who was in the box for Tope-
ka. Carter had things his own way with
the exception of the fifth and eighth in
nings, in each Of which the Nets scored
4 runs. Oklahoma City played a ragged
field game, getting a total of errors,
while the White Sox got but one, a
baubled grounder by Abbott.
Some heavy hitting was done. Risley
Hurlburt, and Abbott, fattening up
their averages decisively. There were
seven sacrifice hits in the game, and
nine stolen bases, both rare records
Cole and Dutch" Persch got into a
fight on the field in the eighth inning
arguing over a matter of territory with
regards to fly balls. They came to
blows, and after Captain Abbott separ-
ated the belligerents he fined each of
them IS. The plasters, declared Abbott,
will stick.

league.
Having won two games already this

Chief thinner was behind the bat

on account of an injured finger. But
then he retired before the develop

After fighting Andrew Freedman in
the courts for eight years, Fred
Pfeffer, the former great Chicago sec
ond baseman, has received a final YER
dict of $500 for back salary in 1897.
Ban Johnson says he is opposed to
spring trips to the far south. He
claims there is too much difference in
the atmosphere, and that when the
players return to the cold north it
takes the southern edge off them.
The New York Nationals Will hold
all the receipts from exhibition games
until the close of the season, and then
divide them equally among the play
ers. The idea is a popular one with
the players, for all other clubs stuff
the extra money in the club treasury
and the players get nothing.

they are incompetent they will have to
go. Every man has his strict insruc-
lions to cut out booze all summer and
the umpires have agreed to do it. No
more drinking goes. We had plenty of
kicks last year from players and fans
saying that the indicator men had been
drinking both before and after games.
I will not stand for nything like that
again. I have done everything in my
power to get the umpire work done
properly this year and I want the fans
and players to do everything in their
power to make things go right. Just a
the people in the grandstand to go af-
ter the umpire every time he makes a
decision which does not exactly suit
them. Sometimes he is right and some
times he is wrong. But none of this
years staff would make a wrong de-
cision maliciously. They are decent
square fellows who will do what is
right. I have selected them with that
point in view. The fans can help an
umpire a whole lot by being decent to
him. If he realizes that a crowd is
fair to him he will work all the harder
to do what is right. 1 have a gentle
manly force of indicator men this year
and it is my ambition to evade the aw-
ful troubles we had last summer. To-
peka had lots Of trouble last year be-
cause it was q new town. I expect more
or less of that kind of difficulty from
the new towns this year, but I do not
any more from Topeka because the fans
there are becoming educated again to
baseball. Let everybody get into the
spirit of craftsmanship and help the
cause along"
