THE WOMEN AND BASEBALL.
One of the Sex Explains Why She
Doesn't Know the Game Very Well.

II don't see that it's much wonder if
women don't know a great deal about
that game of base ball." remarked a
Cleveland woman in the role of an
abused wife the other day. "If all men
were like my husband it would be a
fine chance any wife would have to
learn anything besides household
drudgery. | think it's absolutely alb
surd the way some men seem to lose
all control of their senses and all idea
Of ordinary courtesy when they get
within sight of crowd of men knock
ing ball about a big pasture.
I've always been so bored to death
by base ball games the few times my
husband has persuaded me to go, be-
cause | never could tell who was win
ming, that l told my husband wouldn't
go to any more of the old games with
him. Then the other day he told me
that If I'd go he would just make it
his business for that one day to ex-
plain the game to me.
well, he started in to explain
things to me, and his mood lasted just
until some one hit the ball, and then
he began to shout and jump up and
down as if some one had hooked an
electric wire to his seat. / thought
something very unusual must have
happened and tried to get him to tell
me what he was acting so foolish
about, but he just snapped out, This
is too good a game. I'll tell you all
about it when we get home And that
was all I could get out of him during
the rest of the tiresome old game.
I'll never go to one with him again.

be taken aboard Uncle Sans war
ships. Sandy Point offers a compare
lively safe anchorage, despite the in
different reputation granted the strait
by navigators. When the wind sets
in strong, however it will be nee
cessary for the ships to up anchor
and away, whether or not there is
coal on board. The main danger, and
one that is omnipresent, is the willy.
waws," which for centuries have made
this vicinity dreaded by navigators.
These are series of eccentric winds.
which cause ships Of the largest di-
mansions to sail sidewise, although
the torpedoboats may not be particu-
larly hampered in their movements.
Valparaiso, Chile, or Callao, Peru,
will be the next stopping places for
coal supplies, and here the price of
fuel will soar aloft if traditions are
observed. Most of the fuel on hand
at all the stations is usually reserved
for the merchantmen, the latter pay
ing a slight advance over the charges
obtaining at American or European
ports, but when man+of-war makes
its appearance the mercenary dealers
Immediately increase the cost, be-
lieving that it is a matter of CONNER
cial acumen to stick" the nation to
which the warship may belong.
From these ports the armada will
proceed on it's way to San Francisco,
some of the vessels, maybe, stopping
at Magdalena Bay, Lower California,
for more coal. Fuel at the former
| port will not be so costly, but the,
expense, nevertheless, will be suffi-
| GENTLY important to make rare
showing in the general bill coming to
Uncle Sam.
1t is not likely that the fleet or any
component vessel will be obliged to
put into any port for repairs during
the long journey. Vulcan" or repair
ships will be on hand to supply parts
| of machinery that may become dam
| aged. Most Of the latter will carry
large quantities of duplicate parts, SO
that any of the usual and ordinary
damages incurred at sea may be readi-
