VIII show McGraw's Men How Bases
should Re Run.

NEW YORK, March e.-F'or three years
It has been the openly expressed theory OF
John j. McGraw that no team should
rate itself as a championship contender
unless it's players could run the bases well
and Understandings. Repeatedly he has
called the attention of his own men to the
manner in which the members of the Chi
cage team could get around the diamond
after they had reached first base, and has
worked TO cultivate speed among those
who were inclined to be slow and expert
base runners among those who could run
rapidly.
When Arlie Latham was a member of
the famous st. Louis Browns, one of the
best base ball mines that ever played on
a professional field. he was also one Of
the most expert base runners in the United
States. As a matter of fact, Latham was

CITY OFFICIALS TO
SEE MUSICAL COMEDY
NEW ADMINISTRATION WILL
BE AT GAMUT CLUB
Widespread Interest Is Evidenced in
First Presentation of RolIlck-

The Good Government administra-
ton is preparing to attend a show in
body. The musical comedy angel
Town." to be put on by the Gamut
club, has aroused the new set of city
officials, certain hints of the gridiron
having been in circulation several
days. Therefore the various civic
bodies have declared the intention Of
attending the first nights performance
en- masse in order to ''get theirs" and
swell the chortle chorus when the
other fellow comes in for like medl-
cine.
J The new city council the street de-
partment, the park department, the
building and other sections of the dig
nified city hall have applied for
punched locations, and the floor OF the
Gamut club theater will be well packed
with the men who administer the city
affairs on the evening of January 5.
In the boxes will be the dignitaries
of the administration. In these seats
it will be impossible for any guilty
party to escape And it will give the
ten comedians an additional inspira-
tion to do their worst. The municipal
band commission, which is a victim
also, has nobly responded to the call
for sacrifice and will be on hand when
the curtain goes up on this original
musical comedy.
Altogether, it will be a great night
for the expose of official foibles, for
the Gamut players spare no man when
they appear in their annual perform
ance.

BICHLORIDE DOSE
IS CAUSE OF DEATH
MRS. FLORENCE H0YT VICTIM
OF SUICIDE
Expired at Hospital Friday Night, but
Facts in the Case Were Not
Made Public Until
Yesterday

After suffering intense agony as the
result of taking twenty-one tablets of
bichoride of murcury which she swal-
lowed with suicidal intent December
g. Mrs. Florence Hoyt, 23 years old, of
1859 East Ninth street, died at the Los
Angeles hospital Friday night, Decem-
ber H. The information concerning
her death was not made known until
yesterday, when the detectives were
asked to make Investigations.
According to the information OBJ
tanned by Detective p. H. Murray
Mrs. Hoyt, who was the wife of Clyde
Hoyt a bartender, came from Horton
Kan, to Los Angeles several years
ago. She and Hoyt frequently quar-
relied, it is alleged, and she was IN
tensely jealous of him. 1t seems they
had a dispute Friday and after he had
gone to work she swallowed the bl-
chloride tablets. Several hours later
she admitted having taken the poison
and declared she wanted to end her
life.
DR.. J. N. Lacy of 1414 Mateo street
was summoned. He had much diff
Guilty in persuading the woman to take
emetics, and later when she grew
worse ordered her removed to the Los
Angeles hospital. Mrs. Hoyt fingered
until Friday night, when she died.
The body was taken to the under
taking establishment of Overholtzer
& Mills, and for some reason the cor
oner was not notified until the follow
ing night.
The coroner's clerk, it seems, over
looked the fact and the matter was
not made public until message was
received at police headquarters from
g n POtlar of Horton, Kan, a rela-
five of Mrs. Hoyt, who before her mar
riage with Hoyt was Miss Florence
Koll.
The coroner signed a certificate OF
suicide and the burial occurred at
Evergreen cemetery yesterday after
noon. The dead woman is survived by
a. 3-year-old child and her husband.

The English chronicler has recorded
that the youth of London in the twelfth
century understood the art of flying
over the ice like birds in the air, but
the origin cf skating is far more an
cient. An Icelandic saga relates how

traced verses upon the polished mirror,
but also cut the dear name of Inge-
bord. Skates have been discovered
near Spandau, in Germany, which those

tribute to a period Of 5000 years ago.
These skates were made from bones
Of horses, figured and perforated to at
tach to the sandal. Similar skates
have been found at Moorfelds, in Fins

a Horses Toe Nails,

Few persons realize that n horses
hoof is really the same thing as the
toe nails of human beings or Of ami
mails having toes. The horn of a hoof
grows just as a toe nail does. The
hoof grows more rapidly in unshod
horses than in those wearing shoes,
and it grows faster in horses which
are well groomed and well fed. But
on an average the horn grows about a
third of an inch a month. Hind hoofs
grow faster than fore hoofs. The toe
of the hoof being the longest part, it
takes longer for the horn to grow
down there than at the heel. For in
stance, the toe will grow entirely down
in from eleven to thirteen months.
while the heel will grow down in from
three to five months. AS the new horn
grows out any cracks or defects in the
old gradually work down to where
they can be cut off, just as with human
finger nails you can watch the progress
of a bruise from the root to the tip
