whisked away in White Steamers to
the home of Mrs. Douglas Robinson at
433 Fifth avenue. A little later, when
the procession reached the corner of
Fifty-ninth street and Fifth avenue,
Colonel Roosevelt again showed his
preference for the motor car in gen.

when he, Cornelius Vanderbilt and Col
lector Loeb transferred from their car
riage to White Steamers, which were
in waiting for them.
After luncheon at Mr.. Robinsons
house. the entire party, including
Colonel Roosevelt. again entered White
cars and were driven to Long Island
City. where they were to take a spe-
cial train to the ex-President's home
at oyster Bay.
The supremacy OF the White cars
with the Roosevelt party was again
demonstrated on Sunday, when the
party was driven TO church in the
White Steamers. and group OF some
forty prominent Rough Riders were
taken in a White Gasoline Truck TO
clambake at the Travers island club

In 1873 He Declared the Inventors

Electric Messages With
out Wires.

In the summer of 1878 Cyrus W..
Field, who gained lasting fame when
finally he had laid working subma-
rine telegraph cable between America
and'Europe, returned from one of his
frequent trips abroad. He arrived
home in the early afternoon, and at
five O'Clock | called upon him at his
home in Gramercy square, which was
then almost directly opposite that Of
Governor Tilden, the very house in
which Tilden received the news, first,
of his election as president, and then
of the doubt as to whether he or
Hayes was elected.
From the top of the stairs Mr.. Field
called out, bidding me to come up. He
received me at the door of his dress
ing room. His face was well lathered
upon one side, in his hands he held a
razor, and from his soap-whitened lips
came all apology: You'll excuse me
for asking you to come up while | am

Arthur Cummings of Hartford Studied
Out the Phenomenon and Made
Possible Modern Form of Ma
tional Game.

One day in the late fall of 1876,
when l was returning from the safe
capitol in Hartford, Conn. to my
office, | saw ahead of me a tai, sin
envy, yet slender man, carrying a paint
pot and brush in one hand, and
dressed in aint-bespattered overalls
and jumper and workingman' hat.
Pretty soon he stopped and looked
doubtfully up and down a street, and
as he was so occupied came up and
recognized him as none other than Ar
thur Cummings, who, for several
years, had been pitcher of the then ia
nous Hartford baseball nine. and had
a countrywide reputation as the dis
coverer of the curved pitched ball.
We knew each other slightly, and
so | stopped and asked him If he was
looking for any street or house.
Yes" he said, with characteristic
modesty, and yet with that innate dig
nifty which also always distinguished
him on the ball field, 81 am looking
for the house of Mr.. WEIGH" Then,
doubtless having seen my look of sur
Prise at finding him, the famouse base
ball pitcher, in a painters outfit, he
added smilingly: You know, | am
& house painter by trade. | shan't be
able to pitch very much longer, at
least with any big baseball nine, so
| am getting my hand in at my trade,
and | am on my way to paint a Mr..
Welchs house"
We were walking along by this time
in the direction of Cummings job.
Soon we spied some boys playing ball
upon vacant lot across the street.
Cummings stopped and looked at
them for a moment Why" he ex-
claimed, that youngster is trying to
pitch a curved ball. I'll go over and
show him how" And suiting action to
his words, he went over and gave the
youthful pitcher a lesson in curved
ball pitching, much to the delight and
amazement Of all concerned when
they recognized their idol in his
strange uniform.
At last we resumed our walk.

heard that you were the first man

consider the best American burlesQue.

The room in which the playwright,
then in the early sixties, received me
that evening appeared to be his IL
brary and study combined. 1t was
dimly lighted. The dying embers of
an open CRATE fire cast shadows but a
few feet into the room. and the only
other light was a heavily shaded desk
lamp. Most of the room was in
deep gloom, my host his desk and its
contents being the only objects about
me that could be seen with any degree
of distinctness.
Mr.. Erougham gave me more cor

times it was difficult to follow him

even more shrill than that used in Civ

Again, Mr.. Brougham apparently
heard nothing, for he took up the line
of conversation where | left off and
pursued it easily. as If nothing out of
the ordinary had happened. Finally.
he asked me another question, start
ed to answer, and for the third time
came that discourteous command to
me: Shut up Shut up, tell you!"
Perhaps it was the extremely shrill

that so?"
mo, l don't think was the first
man to pitch a curved ball." was the
reply. II think that Martin of the old
Eckfords had the curve, not mine. but
a kind of curve; and am sure that
Zettlein, who was the great pitcher
of the Atlantics when they were
champions, pitched a curved ball. and
that Tabor. who is now policeman in
New Haven, pitched a curve when
he was playing with the old Unions
of Mauritania with which George
Wright once played.
But none of these pitchers knew

In this modest way the discoverer

modern baseball possible, narrated to
me the story of his great find.

Fields Prophecy of Wireless

dressing for dinner Bat I am going
some important news 10 tell certain
men"
So, while Mr.. Field shaved and 9TH
erwise prepared himself for his ap
pointment, we talked OF course, there
was much conversation about trans
atlantic cable communication, and Mr.
Field rehearsed for me many of the
now well-known difficulties that be met
with and surmounted in his efforts
to lay permanent cable between
the two worlds. Then rather sudden
ly-and in the midst OF a reminiscent
sentence, if l remember this little
detail correctly at this late date-he
broke off abruptly and stood gazing
out Of nearby open window. His
attitude was that of one in deep
thought.
AT last he faced me again.
DO you know" he said in his char
acteristic quick stacatto utterance,
ION the last two or three trips that
| have made to Europe, ! have been
doing a good deal of thinking. Elec-
tricity is everywhere. All you have
got to do is to capture it and control
it. Now, If an electric current can be
carried by wire under the sea, why
cant it be carried by natures wire
over the sea? | don't know how it
can be done. The inventors will have
to show that. But ! don't for the life
Of me see any reason why we cant
have some instrument on this side of
the Atlantic, and some instrument on
the other side, that will capture the
electricity in the air and make it
send q message. ] don't know wheth-
er it will be in my day or not-in-
ventions come thick and fast nova
days-but | am pretty sure that some
day somebody will show how messages
can be sent across the Atlantic.
through the air without the aid of any
wires whatever"
A wonderful prophecy, you say, in
view of the world famous triumph of
Marconi, which came years after Mr..
Fields death? And yet at the time
that the father of the transatlantic
cables made the prophecy to me out
of his deep knowledge Of things cleo
trical, it made very little impression
on me. In fact. | did not recall ii to
mind until all the world was marvel
ing at Marconis feat of sending cleo
trical messages through the air with
out the aid of wires.

Indianapolis Most of the adver.
Using signs in the foreign sections OF
the city present many humorous
phases of business activities They
are inartistc, in bad taste, and seem
TO display a generous amount of ig.
norance or carelessness-but such is
not the case.
Investigation has disclosed the fact
that those signs, at least most of
them, serve as business getters. They
are the mediums which bring and
hold the foreigners together, and they
attract hundreds of up.to-date Amer
leans, who think those signs stand
for just what they want The adver-
Using in the foreign districts, how
ever crude it may seem, is in many
respects more up to date than what is
used downtown. Many Of the foreign
ers-and many in the foreign districts
are matured Americans-could pre-
pare or order as pretty signs as seen
anywhere, but this would spoil the
business in those districts, and the old
signs are retained.

About Beans.

YEARLY every day. that almost every.
body likes, is comparatively new as an
edible Our common, everyday bean
Is native of South America and was
introduced into Europe. whence It
came to this country. during the six

remote that 1t is doubtful 1t is proba-
