No player attracted any more attention
toward the close of the season than the
light haired Afperman of the Brooklyn
team, who hit the ball SO hard in this city.
He was certainly grand prize In the base
ball lottery. He is splendid fielder and q
grand hitter and base runner, and ought to
be a fine card in Brooklyn next season,
With such team Brooklyn ought to make
a better showing financially than has been
made for years.
Cincinnati will again try to make n good
showing but will have to do some tall hus-
ting to maintain the pace that will be set
by the other teams. Deal at first, Cor

the training and playing seasons and the
wonder is that one seldom hears CT a base
ball club even i'm the minor league being
mixed mp in railway accident. YET they
have adventures and narrow escapes every
year.
The only really serious accident to a
major league club befcn the Chicago team
under Arson during worlds fair year in
Chicago. The team was coming home to
play and was jumping from Cleveland into
Chicago.
A special sleeper had been reserved for
the players. but on account of the crush
of travel the railway men had sold some
of the berths. and when Arson and his
| men got ready to retire they discovered
that three of their tickets had been sold to
outsiders. There was a squabble. and to
settle II, the conductor requested Arson to
send three of his men to berths in for

newspaper man volunteered to GO The
train was rushing along at fifty miles an

The hunt for the players was exciting.
Ehe other men came running FORWARD from
their uninjured coach and started the

him away. AS the players came upon them
the negro dropped Kit and fell dead a

TOO MANY COOKS ON THE JOB.
Which Is One Reason Why Food Was
Favored with Soapsuds.

That too many cooks spoil the
broth was proved to a family recent
ly, when the mother went away leav-
ing the dinner already cooked with
directions for warming and serving 1t
properly. In her note, the mother
stated that the SOLD was in a pitch
er in the refrigerator. The first to
arrive after she had left was her
husband, who thought he would begin
by preparing the soup. After he had
poured 1t into the kettle, he decided
that he would fill the pitcher with
warm suds as he had often seen his
wife doing. A few minutes later. the
daughter reached the house and with
considerable talk about the careless
ness os some persons taking things
away from the ice, she placed the sup
posed soup against the ice where cit
was sure to keep" Next morning
when the various articles kept in the
Ice chest We're served there were
many wry faces, for the suds was
made from laundry soap and the food
tasted more Of soap than anything
else.-Lowell Mail.

BEAUTY IN SPANISH DANCING.
Easily the Finest In the World, Ac
cordins to Writer.

In dancing the Spanish woman Is
queen of her sex. To see the real
thing you must get hold of gypsy
band or visit some humble dancing
place in Seville or in the south. There
Is no dancing in the world so poetic,
passionate, suggestive or graceful.
Spain is the true home of the dance.
There are the iota, Aragon, with
its fine abandon but $ ately time;
the tango, resembling the danse du
ventre of Moorish Spain-the dance
Of gesture and suggestion; the grace
full cachuca, with its chironomic play
Of head and arms; the jaleo de Jerez,
which gypsies dance IN whirling meas
ure; the quaint dances of the Basque
provinces, and scores of minor local
dances more or less alike peculiar to
different localities.
But the great dances are the bolero,
the seguldil'a, the chaeona and the
fandango of the south. These dances
are the soul and epitome OF Spain.
In all of them prose gesture-the mys-
terry of true Gancing--plays an impor-
tant part; in all of them the poetry
of love and motion is exhibited with
extraordinary subtlety and expression.

SPEND MILLIONS FOR DISPLAY.
Immense Sum Expended in America
for Precious Stones.

While the importations Of precious
stones and pearls have been increas.
ing by leaps and bounds In the last
two years, as indicated by the reports
given out at the port Of New York
from time to time, there will be some
surprise at the announcement that the
total value of these importations in
the past fiscal yea ended June 30,
has been far ahead Of all preceding
records. approximating S40,2l7.50
The June importations at this port ex.
coed in value those of the correspond
ing month Of last year by a margin
of nearly 100000.
The nearest approach to the splen.
did total Of the fiscal year now closed
was made by the figures for the cal.
endar year ended December 81 last,
the aggregate for that period being
37l46,337. II will be seen, therefore,
that the fiscal year exceeds the cal.
endar year by over $4,000, 900.
Comparisons with preceding fiscal
years will ind ate the extent OF the
increase in the consumption Of pre-.
cious stones by the American dealers.
The largest total since the records OF
the port have been kept until the
present year was made by the pre-.
ceding IL months, when the figures
were s33,223,164. The year ended
June 30, 1903. was considered mar.
