A Great Catcher,

Here Is a play which Is vouched for
by two old ball players who saw 1t
come of and admitted to be true by
the victim Of the catch. big EN- Gross,
once the star catcher of the National
league and perhaps the heaviest hit
ting catcAer that ever donned a glove.
EN- was great catcher, a wonderful
thrower and grand hitter, but he had
his weakness. and that was In catching
foul flies. Some facetious writer in
those days remarked that EN- couldn't
see the high ones in daytime.
He tried for everything in sight, ran
circles around the ball and sometimes
speared 1t, but he never felt at ease
when one OF those tall twisting fouls
went up.
He was catching In Providence one
day when a Philadelphia batter poked
up u fly that looked 500 feet high.
There was a wind blowing, and the
ball began to twist around in circles,
with EN- doing merry go-round under
1t. Finally, seeing that it was escap-
ing, he made desperate effort to turn
quickly and fell fiat on his back.
Instinctively he threw up his feet
and hands to protect his face. The
ball struck the sole of his shoe, bound
ed up into the air. and rs it fell again
EN- reached out and caught it.
And the next morning Providence
papers had the nerve to say he did it
ON purpose.-Chicago Tribune.

Washington Buns.

Break one egg into q cup, fill the cup
with milk, and turn onto one half yeast
cake dissolved in one-quarter cup OF cool
water. Add one cup OF sugar and one-half
cup Of butter creamed together; then beat
all until creamy mass is formed Add
few gratings Of nutmeg and enough -four
to make dough as soft as can be kneaded.
Cover and let rise light, then turn onto the
moulding board, scatter one-quarter cup Of
currants, knead and shape into small buns.
Set the buns close together in creased
pan, let rise and bake. Brush over with a
little milk in which some sugar is dis
solved.

A colored preacher who had only a

last session, which at the time of ad-
iournment was still in deadlock. The
first ballot of the session was the
eighty fifth in the contest.
Senator Wetmore was the Repub-
lican candidate for reelection, and as
the Republicans have u votes to 80
of the Democrats and Lincoln party
a united vote, It was believed before
the balloting began that he would be
returned to Washington over Goddard.
Both candidates were in the contest at
the last session, but Col. Samuel Pom
eroy Colt polled majority of the Re-
publican votes.
Senator Wetmore lives in Newport.
He was born in London in 1916 during
the visit of his parents abroad. He
was graduated from Yale in 1867, was
governor of Rhode Island from 1885
to 1887 and was elected to the United
States senate by unanimous vote in
1894. He was reelected in 1901. He
is millionaire and a social leader.

SmokeIess Coal.

A London inventor claims to have
discovered a process for producing
smokeless coal, apparently by dis.
tillation of coal at low tempera.
ture. This, after filtration, is said to
deposit very brilliant substance, the
heating properties of which are far
greater than those of the original coal,
and which is absolutely free from
smoke and dirt The inventor con-
tends that efforts to overcome the
smoke plague have hitherto been un.
successful because they have been
made in the wrong direction, and that
by the extraction of the smoke.produc.
ing material in coal before being
burned, he has been successful in pro

Women Moro Honest Than Men,

Statistics compiled by American
guarantee companies show that, as re-
CARDS honesty, women are superior to
men. Women in America are em-
ployed in business as extensively as
men, and yet the record shows that
almost every embezzler and defaulter
was man. There are more women
cashiers than men. The universal
stores and shops OF almost every
kind employ women to handle their
receipts and to give change; yet there
were hundred cases of men cashiers
stealing TO one case where a woman
cashier took her employers money.
