KANSAS MAN AsTOUNDED.

At the Wealth of the Tiffany of Cal-
 outta-Rubs His Hands and Jewels
 Drop From Them.
 Writing to the Independent. w. A. Bigger of Hutchinson, now touring the world, says of his visit to Cal- cutta:
 The business part of Calcutta is like some great English city with splendid stone and brick blocks, great administration buildings, ample go- downs, as warehouses are called, fine docks and great manufactures are in evidence. Here are tremendous banks known the world over, but you soon reach the limit of this busy rush of en- terprise. The remainder is 8 city of bazars and tinkers, blaoksmiths, silver smiths, and weavers and artisans, pur- suing their simple calling under the family roof-odd as Damascus.
 We were introduced to Kay Bredre Das Babrodue wealthy jeweler. All this man had to do was to rub his hands and hubes eneralds and dia- monds seemed to drop from them. Tiff fany could hardly make better show ing. One string of pearls alone was worth 300,O0O rupees (about $96,OOO). Another necklace of rubies big as wall nuts was valued at $96,OOO Diamonds glittered till we nearly rolled off our chairs Sapphires blue as the sky, peals from the Persian Gulf all passed glib ly from the hand of the great jewel merchant of India into ours and back again into his as if they were beans. Yet the native millionaire was simple lin manners and dress. A pair of 50 cent sandals were on his dark feet and he wore no socks. A white muslin pet ticoat hid his limbs below the knee and he wore a velvet coat and cap

ried in them along with such small store of money and few papers as the owner had. They were small, twelve or fourteen inches long, and had occasion ally slanting tops, on which writing could be done.
 l In some the two upper sets of draws are false, being really chest with mock handles and locks, only the lower ocks, being of use This was common usage after the chest acquired draw CTS in it's upward fight. Just why it was so made it is hard to tel Perhaps it saved the work of growing the sides of the drawers So that they could move on runners, which were fastened on the carcass of the chest. This is of the kind called wainscot chest, made of mouldings with the upper and lower sets of drawers splayed and the nail heads set on flor ornament. The grain of the oak shows plainly and the piece l is enormously, heavy, as it is oak throughout Indeed, the usage of nak- | ing art of these chests of uine was not without it's merits, since it made them fighter articles to handle.
 I It was not the cabinet maker onlc who put together these wainscot chests l for the local carpenter was often called upon to do it and to set up the wain- scot, which was brought by the fott, as we'll, and it was not difficult to make such a chest.
 Iron was the metal allied to the an cient oak furniture. Wooden knobs were not usual on these chests, and I think these have been added, too, though I have found them on some cupboards of about this same period, that is the last half of the seventeenth or the first quarter of the eighteenth century.
 When the chest once began to rise on legs it went up very high. In fact it be- came decidedly inconvenient, for how was 1t possible to see the contents of those upper drawers? Presumably wo- men did not keep their bureau drawers 1 in any better order than they do to-day and 1t must have been diseouragipg to i find a handkerchief say, in one of the two small upper ones. It was a curious fancy which led the makers of these chests on legs to put four legs in front and only two behind, with stretchers to steady them. This was the pattern of all the early ones, and when the two middle legs in front were no longer used, the pieces where they had been were marked by two carved drops or ornaments.
 Many of these chests, "highboys' we call them now, have ornate tops, being finished with broken arch conice, or carved ornaments, or with a lattice work arch.-From Wood Craft.

It was learned early in the afternoon that the local club would mot prohibit the entrance of any umpire assigned by President Pulliam to the grounds.

 Neither Manager McGraw nor Third Baseman Devlin was to be seen to-day, as each had incurred the penalty of sus- pension for a few days.
 There was no disturbance during the game, and Reulbach, who pitched a fine game for the visitors, was frequently applauded for his good work.

without visor His two sons were his clerks A bevy of wealthy native ladies were trading at the opposite counter, but he did not leave us to so
 to them. The loose-fowing silk gar tments of these Eadies were light as 1 air bordered with gold. Some of them were bespangled with chips of diamonds and rubies so light and small as scarce
 ly to be seen yet they glistened and ] gave pretty stage effect. This Indian Istyle of adornment is unknown in Inothern countries.
 This merchant built a modern pal- ace and temple in the suburbs of Cal cutta at which rich and poor may worship, and in which he and his fam fly worship every morning of their lives. We were shown through it. It was series of gardens containing every plant and flower of the tropics Cool fountains played streams of clear wa- ter through mouths of broze lions or fishes. The white marble walls were figured and carved. Grim statues of Indian warriors in marble guarded
 every entrance. Inside were Mosaic
 halls, the walls alive with bright colors and dusted with precious stones. Panel pictures relieved the scene and gave
 the whole quiet effect. Silent dark specters in short swords weaving fiow- ing robes, sashes and turbans stood as
 servants and guards at the portals. It
 was rare sight sight to us. He expect

 with his dancing girls in a couple of

 troduction to his wives or sit down to
 a meal at his table. Their manner of
 entertainment is quite different from
 our own. This is said to be the finest
 modern templeand palace in all India.

GREAT GAME AT PRAIRIE
NEIYHAVEN AND NORWICH PLAY
 ERRORLESS CONTEST.

Locals Victorious by g Score of 3 to L.
 Battle Between Pitchers in Which
 COrcOran Carries Of the Honors--
 Hartford Easily Defeats Waterbury,
 Bridgeport and Springfield Win.
 In the cleanest-cut game of the sea- son New Haven defeated Norwich at the sayin Rock grounds yesterday aft- ernoon by the score of to 1. It was a battle royal between Pitchers Corcoran and Halligan, with honors in favor of the New Havener. For five innings not hit was made off the Norwich twirler. and only two men reached the initial bag. Connell broke the ice in the sixth with a nice safety, but was forced at second on Hannifin's rap after Corcoran and Fitzpatrick had flied out to Golden and Bridges, respectively. The visitors had crossed the rubber once in the sec- oha on Lofds pase on balls, Corcorans s only gift; soffel's sacrifice and Perkins timely single. This ended Norwich's run-getting.
 New Haven began business in the seventh. After Burke was taken care of by Cote, Hayward reached first on his safety, took second on a passed ball and scored the first run for his side on Wade's corking hit to left. With the score tied at one and one, the Blues batted out a victory in the next inning. Corcoran was out on his fly to Ball. Connell reached first on his second hit and came home on Fitzpatrick's two- sacker, the latter tallying on Burke's single.
 The game abounded in brilliant plays, and was the quickest played contest on the local grounds this season. Not an error of any kind marred the exhibition, and 1t was a we'll learned victory for the New Haven boys, who are now only two points behind Waterbury.

 It is stated in all seriousness by the
 resident physician of a large asylum
 for the insane near Washington that
 persons confined in such institutions
 Frequently display an inventive turn ot
 mind One of his patients, declares
 this official, believes himself shut UT
 in the asylum because of his inability
 to pay the Natonal debt, and n the
 hope of raising the wherewithal to de-
 fray this trifing obligation and so ob-
 tain release, he has devoted himself to
 inventing things.
 Shtange to say, among host of ab-
 surd ideas he has produced, two are really practicable. His friends and the ! physician quoted have supplied him with such harmless materials as he re- I Iquires, and he has lately finished a sim I pie automatic contrivanee for the head of a tennis racket, to pick up the balls and abolish stooping. It acts perfectly and so convinced are a number of off, oials in the institution that there is money in the idea, they have advised the lunatics friends to secure a patient 1 for him, in case he became cured. His other invention is of different kind, being a really efflcacious prevent live of seasickness; it is very simple; two of it's compent parts are in every kitchen and the rest in every drug store
 As an instance of the cleverness of the insane. It is interesting to note that a very valuable improvement con- nected with machinery, now in daily use everywhere, was invented by the inmate of an asylum in Massachusetts, well known to everyone by name. As he is now quite cured and is a some what prominent man, name cannot, of course be given, but his invention, de- signed and modelled as a diversion while absolutely insane, has since brought him in thousands of dollars.

 The official humored this gentleman by telling him the idea was good one, but that he would need a second air pump on top of the first to exhaust the air that would be pressing down that pump, and another that, and so on but he declared he once made a model that worked splendidly, He said: Tt flew about the room like bird. Un- fortunately the window chanced to be open at the time so it flew out and I therefore lost it.
 The superintendent of another asylum tells of patient who evolved a plan for laying a cable around the world in two day. His idea was to send up a powerful balloon to the highest possi- his altitude with cable attached. By the revolution of the earth on it's axis the cable would, he declared, he had completely around the earth in A hours Philadelphia Record.
