WHEN FATHER PLAYED BASEBALL

The smell of arnica is strong
And mothers time is spent
In rubbing fathers arms and back
With burning lin1ment.
The house is like druggists shop,
Strong odors fill the hail.
And day and night we hear him groan,
Since father played baseball.
He's forty past, but he declared,
That he was young as ever;
And in his youth he said, he was
A baseball player clever.
So when the business men arrayed
A game they came to call
On dad and asked him if he thought
That he could play baseball
81 haven't played in fifteen years"
Said father ''but | know,
That can stop the grouSders hot,
And / can make the throw.
I used to play corking game,
The curves, know them all;
And you count on me, you bet,
To join your game Of ball"
On Saturday the game was played,
And all Of us were there,
Dad borrowed an old uniform,
That Casey used to wear.
He paid three dollars for a glove,
Wore spikes to save fall;
He had the makeup on all right
When father played baseball.
At second base they stationed him,
A liner came his way;
Dad tried to stop it with his knee,
And missed double play.
He threw into the bleachors twice
He let pop fly fall,
Oh, we were all ashamed of him,
When father played baseball.
He tried to rum but tripped and fell,
He tried to make throw;
1t put three fingers out of joint
And father let it CO.
He stopped grounder with his face,
Was spiked, nor was that all;
1t looked to us like suicide
When father played baseball

so that the crowd of people which
gathered expected to see fall over into
the street. In the meantime the pas
sengers on the cars fumed.
The hin wheel on the north side v5as
within a few inches of the trolley track.
Plank road car No. 1888 managed to
pass the truck slowly. but Springfield
avenue car No. 1898 was stuck because
the runway could not be turned up,
though a score of men tried to raise it.
The car was finally switched into
Washington street and sent by way of
Bank and Broad streets into Market
street. Several cars that had their
runways up passed the truck slowly.
Al 11:45 o'clock the repair wagon of
the Public Service arrived and the
truck was lacked up and the hind
wheel was put on the axle, the horses
hitched on and the truck was drawn
out Of the way so the trolley cars a a

TROLLEY COMPANY SUED.
Motorman Claims Damages for Injuries
Due to Flat Car Wheels.

PATERSON, Aug, 22.-Saul j. Thorn,
who used to work as a motorman on the
trolley lines here, has Instituted suit
against the Jersey City, Hoboken and
Paterson Street Railway Company for
$4,000 damages. His attorneys, Ward and
McGinnis, have filed the declarations in
the suit at the offices of the County Clerk.
Thorn was operating a car on the line
between this city and Passaic on July p
last, when another car coming In the OPP
posite direction jumped the tracks at Main
and Grand streets and collided with
Thorn's car. He claims to be permanently
injured. The worst hurt he sustained, ac-
cording to the long list of injuries set
forth in the papers in the suit, is to his
back and spine.
The novel point in the suit is the con-
tention set up by the plaintiff. He de-
clares that the car which jumped the track
was a flat wheeler. In fact, 1t is claim
ed that the wheels were so fiat that when
they struck the switch at the corner they
couldn't pass over the rails, and the car
was thus thrown about and left the rails.

pastor of the negro North Clinton Bap-
list Church, Of East Orange, which has
been in a sea of troubles for some time

damages against Maria Hughes, a for
mer member of his congregation.
According to the papers filed in the
County Clerks office today by William
A. Lord, counsel for the clergyman,
Mrs. Hughes not only prosecuted him
once, but twice, and SO "maliciously
intended to injure the plaintiff in his
good name and fame and bring him into
public scandal"
The first alleged persecution. in the
form of false arrest n imprisonment,
occurred October II last, when the de-
PENDANT went before Justice of the
Peace Louis M. Picot, of South Orange,
and charged the clergyman with per-
Jury in connection with a case before
Recorder Doremus, of East Orange, in
which the woman was the defendant
and East Orange was plaintiff. The
clergyman complains that on that oc-
casIon he was forced to take a ive-mile
trip to the justice Of the peace's office
and was detained unlawfully for three
hours.
The second alleged persecution oc-
CURED November "a Of the same year,
when the woman swore u a like COM
plant before Justice of the Peace Blau-
welt, of this city. In this instance, the
clergyman claims, he was forced to
a four-mile trip and was again
detained unlawfully for three hours.
AS the Grand Jury, to which the
complaints were referred, threw them
both out, the suit for damages, which
will be listed for trial at the September
term of the Circuit Court, was brought.

came back again, yesterday, and once
more she has full power of her vocal
