GUYED BY THE FANS.
A Laugh the Bleachers Enjoyed at Dan
Brouthers, Expense.

6routhers, Expense. s
One of the heartiest laughs the
bleachers ever enjoyed was at the
expense of Dan Brouthers, one OF
the famous so called "big four"
and at the time in question the first
baseman Of the Detroit nine. The
day was Saturday, and double
header" was on. Brouthers had
been planning for two weeks to
catch a train at $50 that afternoon
for his home in the country, where
he intended to spend the evening as
the guest of honor at a birthday
party that was to be given him by
his family. He had asked permits
sion of the late Charles H. Byrne,
president of the club, to leave early,
but that official, approaching that
the loss of the valuable Brouthers
in the second game might bring de-.
feat to his aggregation, refused to
allow the first baseman to get away.
Brouthers, suppressing look OF
disappointment, said nothing, but
began to think a great deal. Byrne
somehow or other saw a suspicion
of CLEAN in the players eyes and
also began to think a great deal.
For awhile nothing happened.
Brouthers played out the first game
and started the second! Byrne
heaved sigh Of relief. Then came
Brouthers' coup d'etat. In the last
half of the second inning a fly ball
was knocked back of first base.
Brouthers stepped back quickly,
lifted up his hands and slyly al
lowed the ball to slip down between
his outstretched arms and hit him
on the head. He then fell PROSTATE
to the ground, apparently severely
injured. He was hurriedly carried
to the dressing room, while SUBJ
stitute player was ordered to take
his place. Byrne scented a trick,
however, and watched the door of
the dressing room from back of the
grand stand. Presently he had the
satisfaction of beholding Brouthers.
suit case in hand, make crafty exit
and start on the run for the depot
and the birthday party. Byrne was
after him in flash and, slbse-
quently explaining the peculiar sit
-uation to the umpire, soon had the.
glum first baseman back in the
game again. The story spread like
wildfre through the bleachers, and
throughout the balance of the game
Brouthers was made the butt of the
spectators. He missed bis train, but
at the end of the game was present
ed with candle laden birthday
cake by bleacherite who had pro-
cured it at nearby bakery. And
for solid week afterward Brouth-
ers had to listen to the bleachers'
congratulations" = George Jean
Nathan in Harper's Weekly.

Qriuin of "Ruduet.n

1t is difficult to realize that the
term budget" now so often in ev-
cry ones mouth, is a term less than
200 years old, the earliest mention
Of the word dating no further back
than 1888. We borrowed it from
the old French language-bougette,
meaning small bag, in which in
former times it was the custom to
put the estimates Of receipts and
expenditures when presented to
parliament; hence the chancellor OF
the exchequer, in making his an
nual statement, was formerly said
to open his budget. In time the
term passed from the receptacle to
the contents, and, curiously, this
new Specification was returned from
England to France, where it was
first used in an official manner in
the early part of the nineteenth
century.-London Chronicle.

THE POINT OF THE JOKE.
1t Was Difficult For, the Enslshman,
but He Finally Saw 1t.

put RE Flnaly saw IT.
A party of Englishmen were in Chi
cago sightseeing some years ago.
They were entertained at dinner by
some Chicago Englishmen who have
lived in American long enough to have
a keen appreciation of the American
idea of joke. During the evening all
the members of the party told stories
or sung songs and entertained accord
ing to their several abilities.
One of the English visitors could see
nothing funny in the stories told by
the Chicago Englishmen. Every time
one of them would tell good Amer
lean story at which most of the party
would laugh uproariOusly this particu-
lar Englishman would adjust his mon
ocle to his eye and. looking wonder
ingly around the table. would remark.
"But, | say, don't see anything in
that to laugh at, y knaw."
One of the Chicago men finally re-
cited ain original poem. The poem told
of an Englishman who had come to
America and after being in this coun-
try only short time had died and
gone to another and much warmer
country. Ten years passed, and one
day an imp passing that way heard
the Englishman laughing uproariously.
"Why, what are you laughing at?"
inquired the imp.
ooh, oh, oh, such funny story as
heard in America. Oh, it was so fun
n.y." laughed the victim, and he held
his hands to his sides and almost dou-
bled up with merriment.
"a story you heard! Why, you've
heard no story" said the imp. you've
been dead ten years.
eyes, yes, know, 4 know" cried
the man. "But I've just seen the
joke"
This poem set the table in a roar.
Amid all the laughing and shouting
the obtuse visitor adjusted his mon
ocle and drawled out, "But, say.
don't see anything funny in that v
knaw."
mo" replied the man who had read
the poem, as quick ais a flash. 'Of
course you don't. You haven't been
dead ten years." And even the obtuse
Englishman saw the point.

DEATH IS CAUSED
BY A WOMAN'S
CLOSE EMBRACE
THROWS ARMS ABOUT RESCUER
AND DELAY RESULTS IN
LOSS OF LIFE.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., July II.
A momentary delay occasioned by
a woman throwing her arms about
one of the volunteer rescuers, is
believed to have prevented the saw
ing of James ii. Boone of Philadel-
phia, who was drowned in the surf
here last night. Boone, who was
50 years old. went in bathing after
the life guards left the beach.
A strong current carried him out
and several persons, perceiving his
difficulty, set about to rescue him.
Several men volunteered to go out
in a boat, but as they were launch
ing 1T a woman threw her arms
about one of them and prevented
him from getting into it. This
caused a slight delay and Boone
had disappeared from sight when the
rescuers reached the spot. Boone's
wife and father are in serious
condition from shock.

Was TOUCHED FOR
HIS time PIECE
SUNDAY NIGHT

I've been touched for my
watch!" This startling assertion
was made yesterday to Chief of
Police Smith by one of our citi-
zens who had been out all the
night before looking for that pub
lie drinking fountain that the coun-
ty commissioners are going to put
in, and, failing to find it, had
"hoisted" quite a few high balls.
The chief laughed at him, but
on finding that the gentleman was
in earnest, put the sleuths at work
to trace down the time-piece. After
a search over the town the sun
dial was finally located in one of
the repair shops, and the proprietor
of the same told Chief Smith that
the owner had given it to him that
morning to have it regulated.
Another reason the fountain
should be put in.

bear. The boy fred at the bear,

MEXICAN SOLDIERS
REFUSE SURRENDER
FOR sum OFFERED
MUTINOUS BAND NOT SATISFIED
WITH SMALL REWARD FOR
QUITTING SERVICE.

CANANEA, Mex, July 17.-Al-
though every soldier here was paid
25 pesos Saturday night, they re-
fused to surrender their arms. Some
demanded that they be paid a hun
ured pesos, while others wanted even
more.
The mutinous bands are in en-
tire control of the city and had
their way in every particular. II
was hoped that everything would
be settled by today, as there was
some prospect of the soldiers leav-
ing tn city by that time.
1t was said Saturday that they
feared to surrender their arms be-
cause of possible punishment for
their recent actions, and that If they
left the city it probably would be to
avoid a fight with other soldiers
who may be sent to disarm those
already here.
OOlOhCA GdDl dl Is apparently
unable to control the oldiers. Cap
tain Miralda, said to be their lead
er, is acting as spokesman in their
conferences with the officials.
1t was reported that it was he
who set some city Jail prisoners
free.
Among those liberated, none of
whom have been recaptured, were
six alleged murderers. The soldiers
claimed they were making efforts to
recapture the prisoners. Some of
the soldiers have gone to the hills,
fearing arrest.
General Lomeli still is in COM
mand here.

ASIAT|C CHOLERA APPEARS;

Former Watchman at Hoffman Island
Is Stricken and Great Apprehension
Is Now Felt.

NEW YORK, July 17.-The death
Saturday of Patrick Cushing, resi-
dent American and formerly day
watchman at Hoffman Island quar-
antine station, from Asiastic chol-
era, has aroused apprehension in
New York of the spread OF the
scourge and vigorous steps were TAX
en- to stamp out possible sources of
infection.
Health Officer Doty says there is
no cause for alarm. A strict quar-
antine has been established at the
home of Cushing's widow and four
children.
In the opinion of Dr.. Doty, Cush-
ing contracted the disease from a
so-called cholera carrier, as there
had been no recognized case OF
cholera on Hoffman island for sew
enteen days prior to his leaving
there. AS soon as the first case
occurred among passengers of the
detained steamer Moltke, DR.. Doty
instituted a search for Cushing and
learned he was in the hospital
