PITTsBURG PILLS FIRST BET.
Showing the Same Self-Control That
 Wrecked Mike Dwyer.

Showing the Same Self-Control That
 '. Wrecked Mike Dwyer.
 The man who was selling pools when Pittsburg Phil was cork cutter in the Smoky City and who took the first bet ever made by the famous plunger says of that incident:
 q have often wondered what would have become of Phil if he had not won that dollar combination from me, which netted $73. Phil was only boy when he came to me one day and put up his dollar. He looked to me then, as I recall it, as If he was ready to quit if encouraged to do so. He did not seem to have his heart in his bet, and I have often thought that had he lost that dollar he might have gone back to the cork works instead of becoming one of the greatest plungers of the turf. But he won the combination, and I shall never forget his face when he received the money. He never changed a muscle. Next day he started book of his own on that $73. He ran a 50 cent book among the employees of the cork works, and did so well that it was not long before he was able to compete with the best of us. You could not beat Phil at the horse game. Even when he made that little handbook he would tell you that you were trying to take his bet if you wanted a certain horse, but he would bet you just the same. His judgement was the best''
 Those who know Pittsburg Phil best 1 say that his nervous system has been shattered because of the intense strain and worry caused by his extensive operations on the turf. The noted plunger has never given vent to his feelings. whether winner or loser, at the racetrack He has never been de- monstrative, but has always possessed
 cool, phlegnatic demeanor, which is d singular characteristic of some of the 1 biggest turf spectators. The case of Pittsburg Phil, in some ways, resem-
 bles that of another famous plunger in | his day, Michael F. Dwyer. Both of ] these men have won and lost thousands

MEASURING WITH THE EYE.

While was in a clothing store the other day noticed a man wad his fist up and throw it down on the counter, and about the same time the fellow be- hind the counter rushed up to him. carefully rolled his fingers up into the palm of his hand, clinched his fist, and threw it down beside the other mans fist on the counter.
 That was way the clerk had of measuring the customers hand for a fit in gloves. But how can you mea- sure big fist with a small one asked him after the man had secured his gloves and departed. ''I know. my number" he said, and can generally tell. almost to the dot, the difference between the size of glove I, wear and the size that will fit some other man. My eye is so trained that rarely miss it." u~
 He was right and proved it by calling the number of glove which fits my hand by hurried glance at the hand, fold- ed up, and put beside his on the coun- ter
 You sec" he added, 'it is largely a mater of practice, and really nothing extraordinary about it. Some men, partiouarly military men, become ex- perts in measuring distance with the eye. Other men are expert in telling the weight of certain articles. The expert shoe dealer could look at foot and tell the number of shoe that will fit the foot. So clothiers can guess a mans waist and leg measurement by mere glance, if they really know their busi- ness. The eye. in the long run, is more accurate that the tape we use, in measuring, because the eye will take more general view of the hand, the foot or, the body, while the tape simply gives us the inches one way and an- other."-New Orleans Times-Demo- rrat

Hyperion Theater.

The dramatization of Frank Norris famous novel "The Pit,'' with Wilton Lackaye at the head of a company of three hundred people in William A. Brady's colossal production of the play will be the attraction at the Hyperion Theater tonight. "The Pitt is one of the greatest successes of the season. It is a story of Chicago, of the Board of Trade and a vigorous and human tale of modern life and love.
 Jadwin, the great speculator, neg lects beautiful young wife, who is devoted to him, his whole life is ab- sorbed in the nerve racking, health-de- stroying passion of the gambler, so that he lives for nothing else. Finally, however, he goes, as hundreds of men before have gone, too far. Luck turns against him, his carefully prepared plans are swept away, a friend who has been like a brother to him, ruined by his corner, commits suicide. The speculator loses his nerve and in a sin gle day is bankrupted and the play closes with a picture of him and his wife starting west to begin their life over again. #.4
 Interwoven with the struggle for for tune is a pretty love ronance-the awakening of a woman's tenderness for her husband, but the vital interest is in the titanic battle of the wheat pit, the blood and iron of the men it describes, and the tremendous grasp of the pro- blem it raises. ..-. s.-e ssE .-

The original Liliputians in their spectacular musical extravaganza, "Sinbad,'' assisted by a large capable company furnished nearly three hours of most wholesome amusement at the New Haven theater last evening. These bright and funny little people, who had entertained audiences in all parts of the country and won a great reputation are to-day just as funny and delightful as in the past seasons, and in consequencethe audience last evening, which nearly filled the large theater, was extremely enthusiastic and generous in the matter of ap- plause.
 Not only are the Lilliputians them selves entertainers of considerable de- gree but tn ecompany which they have selected to assist them is partie- ularly good. As musical extravagan- ga, "Sinbad" is a success, and brimful of bright features. The choruses and ensembles are catchy and well sung by a bevy of young women. The costum- ing is unusually fine and the scenic eff IOSbS ol NeAhAitlASa o41llioiSSs ikS Ao especially so of the transformation at
