STRUGGLE TO A TIE

New York, April 14.-The New York and
Boston Americans battled for IA innings
today until darkness stopped the game
with the score to A. The contest was
witnessed by an assemblage SO large that
5000 spectators crowded on to the playing

Highlanders played poorly and errors by
Foster and Austin gave the Red Sox
what looked to be a safe lead. The
locals started to hit Cicotte in the third
inning and drove him from the rubber
in the eighth, when Wood took his place
with men on first and third bases and
none out. Score:

MEMBER OF TEAM
HURT IN SLIDING

D. C. Simmons. center fielder of the
Policemen's baseball team, received n
fractured ankle yesterday morning in
the game between the cops and the
Dean Pharmacy team. Simmons had just
knocked a three-bagger and was rest
ing on third base when the man at
bat hit an infeld In. Si0mons tried
for home but seeing that the catcher
was going to put him out he slid for
the plate. His foot got twisted under
him in some manner and the foot at
the ankle joint was thrown out of
place. The joint was pulled back into
place but the limb Is so swollen now
that he will be unable to use it for many
days. The police were defeated by a
score of to 10.

FIRST LESSONS IN HOBBLLNG !
Points About Walking In the !
Fashionable Skirts.
!


The beginner will sit down in her
hobble skirt with her knees together;
they will be poked up in front of her
and will look like knees in bag. She
must learn to sit sideways. so that the
knees are not so very evident.
Always sit in a tall chair if you
have on hobble skirt.
Always raise your skirt slightly in
the back or there will he pull on the
skirt band.
Always thrust one foot out slightly
ahead of the other to give the skirt a
little leeway and don't forget to hold
your hands in your lap to keep your
skirt from balloOning up around your
hips.
"A fine exercise is with the arms and
neck. You touch your fingers togeth-
er at the back of your neck; then you
bend your head back; then you extend
your elbows. This exercise gives You
certain body grace and a poise which
you cannot get in any other exercise.
IN walking with the hobble skirt
on a woman should practise first in the
house. The hobbler should put on her
hobble skirt and try walking around a
table; she should have parasol in her
hand and her hat on her head. 1t is
easier to walk without a hat than with
it and for that reason the novice in
hobbling should always experiment
with her hat on 1t gives her eXper-
ience in balancing herself."-New York

POLICEMAN INDICATED.
Trial In Anderson Results In Prompt
Acquittal.


The case of the State VS.. former
Chief of Police l.. NJ. Murphy and Off
Ger ]. c. Shirley, on trial for the kill
ing of Tom Leverett, colorcd, n few
weeks ago, ended rather abruptly yes
terday afternoon, Judge Gary instruct
ing the foreman of the jury to write
a verdict of not guilty. Only about
half the witnesses had been examined
and Mr.. w. B. King, Jr., had just left
the stand.
Mr.. G. C. Sullivan of counsel for
the defense made a motion that the
Judge direct a verdict of not guilty,
stating that the defense had numerous
other witnesses but did not care to
consume the time of the court unnec-
essarily.
Judge Gary asked Solicitor Bonham
if he had any further testimony for
the State, and the solicitor replied that
he had not, and, on the motion, said
that if his honor could not sustain the
legal position, that this arrest could
not be made without a warrant, of
course. he could not ask for verdict.
The Judge replied: Il can't go that
far. think the officers were in the
discharge of their duty. The negro
defied arrest. He ought to have sub
mitted. He knew the officers were po-
licemen: they were in uniform and
were in pursuit of the negro, who had
lust committed a serious breach of the
peace by cursing on the street and
brandishng his pistol.
when the officers went to arrest
the negro, he still had a pistol. The
officers knew he was dangerous man;
had had trouble with him number OF
times, in attempting to arrest him
when drinking.
II can't say that the officers did
wrong. They had the right to make
the arrest; it was their duty to do so,
and to overcome the negro's resist
ance, even to taking his life.
Even if the jury found a verdict,
I could not sentence them.
so l don't think we ought to take
up more time in this case.
"Mr. Foreman, write verdict of not
guilty"
The case ended jus. as had been ex-
pected, and meets with general ap-
provaL-Anderson Mail.

WEDDING SUPERSTITIoNS.
Why Ring Is Placed on Fourth Finger
of Left Hand.


Though popular superstitions may
lack reason or reasonable explana-
ton, they must have an origin, and
this has formed the basis Of quite an
interesting book by T. Sharper Knowl-
sor.
The question Of the wedding ring
and why it should be placed on the
fourth finger Of the left hand he
traces back to a writer in the British
Apollo G7OS)
"There is nothing more in this" it
is stated, than that the custom was
handed down to the present age from
the practice of our ancestors, who
found the left hand more convenient
for such ornaments than the right in
that it is ever less employed; for the
same reason they chose the fourth
finger, which is not only less used
than either Of the rest, but 1t more
capable of preserving a ring from
bruises, having this one quality pecul-
lar to itself, that it cannot be extend
ed but in company with some other
finger. whereas the rest may be singly
stretched to their full length and
straightness.
The old fashioned notion that a
shoe should bring luck at a wedding
Is another superstition curious to eX-
plain.
"It was in the sense of confirming
a sale or exchange that the Jews un-
stood the removal and giving Of
shoe or sandal. When the kinsman
of Boaz consented to waive his claim
upon the parcel of land which Naomi
would sell in favor Of Boaz, he drew
off his shoe for this was a testimony
in Israel.
"In a different sense the removal of
Of a shoe marks the winding up Of ne
gotiations among the laws and ordi-
nances given in the book of Deuteron-
omy, where the widow who is refused
marriage by her husbands surviving
brother Is directed to come unto him
in the presence of the elders, and loose
his shoe from off his foot, thus as
serting her independence and heaping
upon him the blame for failure to
comply with the law.
when the Emperor Vladimar pro-
posed marriage to the daughter of
Reginald she refused him with the
words:
"'I will not take off my shoe to the
son of a slave
I'm Anglo Saxon marriages the
brides father delivered her shoe to
the bridegroom, who touched her on
the head with it in token of his au-
ority."-London Daily Mail.

count. We have not had occasion to
use the initiative nor the recall. The
referendum has only been used in re-
lation to the grant of franchises, and
the issue of bonds where it is impera-
tive. Each of these safeguards, in my
opinion. strengthens the scheme, and
think this is the general estimate of
them.
In conclusion, would say that in my
opinion. the commission is the more
enlightened form of municipal govern
ment in use in America, and that its
excellence depends on the existence of
a board and quickened civic spirit
which is able to assure the election of
tried and capable men.-Greenwood

BURNING THE DEAD.
A Custom That Can Be Traced Back
to the Earliest ACES.

Cremation has been practiced by
most of the nations of the earth from
the earliest ages. and. although in pa
gan countries it may have taken the
form of fire worShiping, there can be
no doubt that its adoption by the an
clients was for the most part prompted
by other than religious reasons.
Greeks aScribc its Introduction to
Hercules. who. having sworn to trans
NIT the body of Argus to his father,
thought this the most convenient way
of fulfilling his promise. According 10
Homer. the burning of the dead WAS
Il common practice among the Greeks
long before the Trojan war. but the
earliest record of ii is among the
SCythians. who inhabited the vast re-
giun known under the name of Tar

The Old Time Surgeon.

Before amaeSthctiCs were known the
surgeons only eXpcdient was to
abridgc his patients suifcringS by
working rapidly. In this the old time
surgeons did wonders. They had a
control and Il surety in their hands
that are now seldom found. one day
the celebrated surgeon MaiSOnneure
had to amputatc the leg of "a poor
devil who began to howl in advance.
"l'll give you my watch" said the sur
gcon. IF the operation lasts more than
Il minute" The man accepted the
offer. but was obliged To forego the
handsome watch. as the operation
took less time than it requires To de-
scribe. To amputatr an arm at the
shoulder is Il most difficult operation.
DR.. Langcnback of Germany did it in
two minutes. \ young physician VINO
came t0 see him perform the opera
tium adjusted his SpcCtaCleS To his nose
50 as not to los" Il single movement.
but when the SpcCtaCles were in place
the operation WAS over and the sever
ed arm lay on the floor. Times have
changed much since then.

the ancient natives of Hindustan also
allude to the custom. The idea IF
publication by fire was in all ages
universal. and with good reason. Some
believed that the body was unclean af-
ter the departure of the soul. and it
was therefore deemed necessary that
it should be purified by fire. Ovid
the general opinion of his
time when he said that the soul was
not completely separated from the
body until the latter was consumed
on the pyre. The Athenians invaria-
bly, after a battle burned the slain.
