Vaudeville occasionally brings to

it not for the field fertile in oppor-

is found in Cole and Johnson, the

For the past five years Cole and John

delightful baritone vocalist and ac-
complished pianist, while Cole is the
cleverest negro character comedian
of his race.

- DO not know why the coroner had
solong delayed to call this witness.
What he said was in the way of
confirming the last witness testi-
mony as to his having been at the
Moore house on Tuesday evening. Mr..
Moore, who was very particular as to
dates and days, admitted that the light
which he had seen in a certain window
of his ancestral home ON the evening
when he summoned the police was but
the repetition of one he had detected
there the evening before. 1t was this
repetition which alarmed him and
caused him to break through all his
usual habits and leave his home at
night to notify the police.
The coroner asked him If he had seen
MIR. Jeffrey go in on the night in ques
ton; if he had ever seen any one go in
there since the wedding, or even if he
had seen any one lettering about the
steps or sneaking into the rear yard.
But the answer was always no; these
same noes growing more and more en-
phatic, and the gentleman more and
more impenetrable and dignified as the
examination went on. In fact, he was
as unassailable witness as I have
ever heard testify before any jury.
Beyond the fact already mentioned OF
his having observed a light in the oppo
site house on the two evenings in ques-
ton he admitted nothing. His life in
the little cottage was so engrossing, he
had his organ. his dog, why should he
look out of the window? Had it not
been for his usual habit of letting his
dog run the pavements for quarter of
an hour before finally locking up for
the night he would not have seen as
much as he did.
Have you any stated hour for do
ing this?" the coroner now asked.
Yes; half past o.
And was this the hour when you
saw that light?"
Yes; both tines
As he had appeared at the station
house at a few minutes before 10, he
was probably correct in this statement.
He wound up with such distinct
repetition of his former emphatic as
sertion as to the presence of light in
the old house on Tuesday as well as
Wednesday evening that Mr.. Jeffrey's
testimony in this regard received de-
cided confirmation. 1 looked to see

Talking about interesting ball games
those who missed the game between th
Odd Fellows and the Knights Of Pythis
of South P,.ris at the high school ground
last Saturday afternoon, missed the even
of lifetime. There was all kinds o
ball playing, but on the whole 1t was
much better played contest than any on
expected to see. After the Odd Fellow
tied the score in the sixth inning unit
the last man of the Knights was out Il
the tenth, 1t was q hard fought battl'
and excitement reigned supreme.
1t was expected that the Knights
would win, as they had more ball player
with established regulations, but reputa
end of the struggle some of the ole
some very effective batting.
The principal strength of the Odd Eel
lows team was their battery, WebbeI
and Allen, both doing fine work both in
the field and at the bat. Kimball, Bald.
win and Aldrich also played good ball
for the Odd Fellows, Aldrich putting
the ball to the woods for home run in
the eighth inning.
Wheeler pitched the first seven innings
for the Knights, and did well, his team
having a lead of two runs when he left
the box. G.. Shaw was the next pitcher
for them, and the Odd Fellows found
him easier to hit, scoring two runs in the
eighth aud three in the tenth before he
left the box. The next pitcher for the
Knights was Fl. Shaw, who came in to
pitch with two men on bases and one
out in the tenth. He passed the first
man, but struck out the next two.
For the first four innings the Knights
succeeded in getting one man across the
plate in each inning, but we're BANKED
in the fifth and sixth innings.
For the Odd Fellows, although they
had three men on bases in the first and
second, and man on second in the third
and fourth, no scores came in until the
sixth, when two bases on balls, singles
by Andrews and Aldrich and two-bag-
ger by Weber gave them four runs and
tied the score.
In the seventh, singles by E. Shaw, G.
Shaw and Wheeler gave the Knights a
two-run lead, which was not tied by the
Odd Fellows until their half of the
eighth. In this inning, Allen reached
first on q fielder's choice and scored
with Aldrich on the latter's home run.
Neither scored again until the tenth,
but the Knights lost their best oppOr-
tunity to win the game in the last half
of the ninth. In this inning Howard
Shaw, the first man, got base on balls
and stole second, then with the first end ,
Of the batting order up and no one out,
with only hit needed to win the game
Weber arose to the emergency. He
struck out E. Shaw and c. Shaw, and
the best Wheeler could do was to hit to
Aldrich, who threw him out at first.
In the tenth the Odd Fellows scored
three runs on double by Weber, Allen
being safe on fielder's choice, and
singles by Aldrich, Baldwin and Strick-
and. C. Shaw then retired from the !
box, q. Shaw finishing the game by |
striking out two men. The Knights !
we're unable to hit Weber in their half /
and could not score.
The score:
