McBridc's Sly Humor.

Algy Mcbride, the clever short stop
of the Washington club, and supposed
to be one of the best looking men in
professional baseball. is a quiet, gen
tlemanly lad, who possesses vein OF
pure humor that the r1imble short
stop goes mining for only on special
occasions.
AS he and his side partner, Jim Dele
5hanty, are necessarily thrown much
together by reason OF the. fact that
they are constantly devising new
plays they mix lot of innocent kid
dirly" In theil conversation. Although
Delehanty loves to kid "a person, he
detests kidding when the joke is put
on him.
who Is a native OF that city, went out
to see his home folks and to hear the
news. When he returned to his hotel
he was full of the Grants that has
happened to his Cleveland friends
since he had been absent from that city.
What amazed Jim more than anything
else, perha~- was the fact that there
had been 50 many ma Z, June weddings
"And those that couldn't get the
consent OF their parents" went OF!
Delehanty, they simply eloped and
they say here that there have been
more Opponents In Cleveland this year

Chicago paper that the other day a

But this was too much for Delehanty,
for, with yell, lie started after Nc

AN IDEAL ALL-kROUNO NEWS
PAPER.

Probably no other newspaper in the
United States can show so brilliant an
array of special features suited to the
tastes and needs of every member of
the family as the Chicago Record-Her-
aid. In regular daily and Sunday fea-
lures include the letters of William f..
Curtis and Walter Wellman, besides
the special dispatches from the great
centers. Next in Importance comes the
Record-Herald's unparalleled foreign
news service, embracing its W spec
ial cables and those of the New York
Herald, World, Journal of Commerce
and Associated Press. 1t pages de-
voted to- financial and commercial
news Of all kinds are unsurpassed In
scope and accuracy. Among other
noteworthy features are its sporting
page, it's sound editorials, Kiser's hum
orous alternating Currents" the live
" Stories of the Street and Town"
the railroad and insurance columns,
music and drama, society and clubs,
daily review of the latest books, the
continued story, the Woman Beauti-
fur department, the daily fashion ar
ticle, meals for a Day." news or the
lakes. ETC., besides a complete array
of local and domestic news-an unit
ing to give the people Of Chicago and
the Northwest a complete and all
around interesting newspaper.
The Sunday Magazine of the chicago
Record-Herald is an artistic and liter
airy triumph. Famous authors n
illustrators, fine paper and presswork,
combine to make it the rival OF the
great independent periodicals and a
distinct departure in Sunday journal
ism.

SULPHUR BLEACH FOR FRUIT
STAINS.

Stained table linen follows the re-
turn of the fresh fruit season as surely
"as night follows day." For removing
such stains there is nothing more eff
fective than the sulphur bleach. Lay
a spoonful of sulphur on a plate, and
sprinkle with a few drops of alcohol.
Over this place a tin funnel with the
point upward. Touch a lighted match
to the alcohol; wet the stained linen,
and hold the spot over the point OF
the funnel. The sulphur fumes will
destroy the most obstinate stain, sell
dom requiring more than one applica-
ton. Rinse and wash the linen at
once, to prevent rotting the material.

RUSSIA'S GREAT RAILWAYS LIN.
ITATlONS.

General Kuropatkin's comments ON
Russia's Siberian railroad and it's value
as given in McClure's Magazine for
September are most Illuminating. In
these remarks, which were made in
an official report just before the JAP
anese war, he says:
THE economic interests of Russia
in the Far East are extremely insig-
%nificant. We have as yet, thank God.
no over-production in manufacturers,
because even u domestic markets
are not yet glutted. There may be
some exports Of articles from our
factories and f%oundries, but it is large
ly due to artificial encouragement and
Will cease-or nearly cease-when
such encouragement is withheld. Rus
STA, therefore, has not yet grown up
to the melancholy necessity of wagins
war in order to get markets for her
products. AS for our other interests
in the Far East, the success or failure
of a few coal OF timber enterprises in
Manchuria and Korea is not a matter
of sufficient Importance to make it
worth while for Russia to run the risk
of war on their account.
"The railway lines that we have
built through Manchuria do not change
the situation, and the hopes that these
lines will have worldwide Importance,
as avenues of international commerce,
is no likely, in the near future, to be
realized. Travellers, the mails, tea,
and possibly some other merchandise,
will go over them, but the great masses
of heavy international freight which,
alone, can give worldwide importance
to a railroad. will go by sea, simply
because they cannot bear railway
charges"

fever, and persisted in digging holes
in the ground wherever he found
likely-lOoking spot.
In January, 1891, Bob dug a prospect
hole on what is now known as the FL
Paso lode of the Gold King Mining
company, one Of the richest veins in
Cripple Creek. Womack took some
rock from his FL Paso claim to two
citizens of Colorado Springs. The ore
gave splendid returns, and fortune was
within the poor cowboys grasp, but
he flung it aside.
Wen give you $500 for the claim"
said one of the future millionaires.
Done" said the cowboy, to whom
$500 looked like a big fortune.
The deal was made, and develop
ment work was begun on the property
which has paid many hundreds of
thousands of dollars in dividends and
which is still one of the great gold
mines of the camp.
Nor did Opportunity cease to knock
at Womack's door in the case of the
Gold King or FL PasO mine. 1t is es-
timated that during the years 1890
and 1891 the cowboy had between 80
and 40 locations in the gOld-bearing
district. Whenever one of his friends
was looking for a location Bob would
make him a present of a claim. Some
of the best properties in the district
passed through his hands in this man
ner without his receiving the slightest
benefit therefrom.
The growth of the new camp was
phenomenal, but Bob Womack had no
part in it. Miners were striking it"
on every hill. and, in the mushroom
town of Cripple Greek. frenzied men
were buying and selling shares in
countless mines and prospects For
tunes were being made with a turn of
the hand, yet luck had deserted Wo-
mack, and the poor cowboy could only
look on, daZed at the vast food of
riches he had almost ulwittingly
started from Natures 5tC-ehOuse. He
saw the man who had bought his
prospect for $500 sell 4 third interest
in his mine for $4,000. He saw
claims that he had given away yield
ing rich ore at the first strike OF the
pick. Puzzled by the trick fortune had
played on him, the cowboy turned
from the hills and went to Colorado
Springs, where he has lived with a
spinster sister
The movement of the gold kings
of Colorado to support the discoverer
of this Ell Dorado is a grateful. though
tardy, acknowledgment of indebted
ness to the poor cowboy who rubbed
the Alsddin's lamp and flooded the
world with gold.
