The defeat administered to Knock
out" Brown by our Henglish' friend,
Wells, is in all probability due to K.
O.'s lack of training Brown thought
he had cinch. and didn't do an ounce
of hard training, and the result was,
when he stepped into the ring his mus
cles were stiff. If Brown had been in
good condition he could have easily
trimmed Wells, but the betting syndi-
cate was wise in looking over the lit
tie scrapper's condition before any
money was registered on him.
Austin has now nailed the Texas
league rag. The league closes in the
first week in September and as the team
has won the necessary games all that
now remains for the Senators to do Is
TO just drag along, while the main
fight will be between Waco, Fort
Worth and San Antonio as to which
will grab second and third kale.
Umpire Silk OLaughlin thinks one
umpire to be enough for the st. Louis
Browns, and he is to be stationed In a
metal cage somewhere behind the
pitcher. Recently, while deciding be-
hind the bat, a foul tip cracked him
on the kettle, and the next time. while
behind the pitcher, batted ball sopped
him on the shin. No!l We don't blame
you old top.

Young Man Makes Good.

The following concerning former
Crescent City young man is taken from
last weeks Miami Metropolis. Mr..
Gautier was born and grew TO manhood
in Crescent City, and all his old friends
will read of his advancement with pride
and pleasure:
attorney Redmond B. Bautier was
chosen by the county Democratic execu,
tive committee, this morning as sue
cessor TO ]. c. Granting, who resigns
the office of county Judge TO accept the
office of states attorney of the eleventh
judicial circuit. Mr.. Gautier'S name
will be sent to the governor, upon whom
the appointment devolves.
"In response to the call of the chair
man. C. D. LETTER, the executive COM
mittee met this morning at ten o CLOCK
in the court house and balloted for the
election of a successor TO Judge Gram
ing, three names being propoSed-Geo..

Gautier tied at five and Mr.. Taylor re-
ceived three votes. On the second bal
lot Mr.. Bolles received three votes and
Mr.. Gautier ten, and upon motion, the

WHISTLER THE FIGHTER.
The Artist Always Took His Revenges
In Refined Way.

The Artist Always Took His Revenges
In Refined Way.
In whistler as Knew Him" Nor
timer Menpes, the author. has good
deal to say about Whistler the fight
er and his quickness in resenting an
affront. He is careful to add that
Whistler was always refined in his
methods:
While he was severe he was not ac-
tually brutal. He never treated his
enemies in a coarse way. Any man
who had offended him whistler would
rap sharply over the shoulders with
his cane, and then by the time the
sufferer had recovered the master
would be in the next room explaining
to every one how he had just felled
his enemy.
Once he caught man with whom
he was for the moment enraged wash
ing his face Without a moments
hesitation Whistler dashed the unfor-
tunate head straight into the basin of
water, and while the foe was endeav-
oring to clear the soap from his eyes
to see the cause of this sudden INNER
sion Whistler was in the smoking
room setting the men there in a roar
with the account of his adventures.
When I first met Whistler he was in
the act of searching for a man who
had dared to criticise his Venetian
etchings. "If you want to see some
fun, Menpes," he said, come with
me-" Fortunately the man had been
warned and was nowhere to be found.

MALADIES OF METALS.
Curious Contagious Disease That At
tacks Tin, Brass and Lead.

Curious Contagious Disease That At
taeks Tin, Brass and Lead.
The alleged contagious diseases of
metals is a topic that has been men
toned from time to time, but shall be
mentioned again because 1t tends to
promote uniformity in our views Of
mineral life and other kinds of life
and to discredit the fashion of regard
ing anything in nature as dead and
inert.
In a lecture before the Societe de
Chime Physique at Paris a professor
smoke of the fact that tin when ex-
posed to temperature below the
freezing point of mercury shows a
kind of eruption of pustules in which
the metal loses its ordinary shining
surface, becomes gray and on being
cut with a saw either falls to powder
or breaks up into a bundle of fbers.
This affection is capable of being COM
municated by contact, for the applica-
ton of a few grains Of the powder to
the surface of a block of perfectly
sound tin brings about its transforms
ton in a few days.
In another transmittable disease OF
tin the structure of the metal is chang
ed and becomes crystalline. This dis
ease has special tendency to attack
Joints which have been soldered, but
II attacks brass and lead as well,

BUYING A VASE.
Wertheimers Clever Coup by Which
He Secured the Prize.

TIC ocCuTeU tU0 FTi<os
The late Charles Wertheimer when
asked on one occasion what he consid
cred to be his astutest business coup
thought for awhile and then told how
once when he was walking through a
Brighton square he espied through an
open window what he knew to be a
priceless Chinese vase. He went to
the nearest postoffice, examined local
directory and found the name of the
resident. Then he called and asked for
the gentleman and was shown into the
study under the name of Hamilton"
He briefly explained that he was look
ing for a modest house in Brighton
and had taken a fancy to this one.
Would the gentleman entertain an Of
fer for the place as it stood-"lock,
stock and barrel?
The owner. little nonplused, hest
tated.
IF your offer is reasonable" inter
rupted Hamilton, II will give you an
extra thousand"
"Call tomorrow at 1890, them" re-
piled the owner.
Hamilton did and found him pre-
pared to accept f1S,O00 for the twenty
two years unexpired term and the con
tents of the residence.
Although this was well over market
value, Hamilton at once closed, adding
the extra thousand, according to prom
Use. As, however, he afterward sold
the vase for $4,000, his coup was I'M
mistakable.-London Telegraph.

Punished For Looking Healthy.

In the days of the Puritans the stocks
were not unknown as a penalty forlook-
ing too healthy. Ruddiness of complex
ion was a crime when gaunt visage
was regarded as an outward sign of
sanctity. DR.. Echard, writing in the
early eighteenth century, remarks:
"Then it was they would scarcely let
a round faced man go to heaven. II
he had but little blood In his cheeks
his condition was accounted dangerous,
and l will assure you a very honest
man of sanguine complexion if he
CHANGED to come nigh an official zealot's
house might be set in the stocks only
for looking fresh on frosty morning"
Few of the January faces to be seen
in a London street, however, would run
any risk of drawing down this penalty,

His Linht Diet.

The actors sense of humor is al
ways uppermost. He will jest about
his hard luck. his i'll luck or almost
anything that offers an opportunity for
a Joke. Generally, too. he has cour'
age-the courage to smile when his
heart is heavy. A comedian, who was
known to be in desperate straits, was
invited to a social gathering one even
ing. When the poor actor arrived he
was seen to be thinly clad, although
the weather was bitter cold. He look
ed also as if he had not had any too
much nourishment for some time. The
hostess greeted him cordially.

Our Sleep.

As a race we sleep too little An
infants life is nearly all sleep. Grad
ually as the child grows older the
hours of sleep are shortened to half
the day or about eight hours. Youth
until the age of twenty is reached re-
quires fully ten hours sleep. Although
nature demands fewer hours sleep IN
summer than in winter, it has been
proved that eight hours of sleep are re-
quired for the average adult in good
health. By this, explains the Pitts
burg Dispatch, is meant not simply
eight hours in bed. but that amount OF
good, sound, restful sleep night after
night. Our power to work is intimate.
" related to our ability to sleep, and
there is 10 more reliable indication OF
sound health than the capacity to sleep
naturally. and the more active and ell
ergetic the waking life the deeper the
sleep.

SIauarx In Old Greece.

The Greeks were slave owners with
vengeance. All manual work was
done by "barbarians," as the Greeks
called those who had been captured In
war. The greatest of the Greeks saw
no evil in the institution. Aristotle is
quite outspoken in his justification OF
slavery. A certain amount OF mean
work had to be done, he claimed, ana
"mean natured men" were intended to
do it. The slaves in some Of the Greek
states outnumbered the freemen four
or FIVE to one. Manual labor came in
Greece to be thought degradation,
suited only for beings who could not
do the higher work. Even freemen
who worked for wages were by Arts
totle placed outside the constitution.
And what was true Of the Greeks was
equally true of most Of the other an
cient nations.-Exchange-

Shakespeare as an Actor.

About the year 1890 one Of the Lon
don companies received an addition in
the person of a young man who was
not only skillful and useful actor, but
who also possessed the accomplish
ment of being able to adapt older plays
to the taste of the times and even
proved to have the gift of writing toll
erably good plays himself, though older
and jealous colleagues might hint at
their not being altogether original.
This young man, whose capacities be-
came of no slight use to the company
and the theater, was named William
Shakespeare. - From "a History of
