Thick and Thin.

''Its a funny thing" remarked the
observing man, that particularly
stout and particularly thin people can
discover insinuations in regard to their
size where absolutely none is meant.
Now, tonight in the car there were two
good examples of this within a few
minutes of each other. One was a 1T
tie thread of woman who glanced
contemptuously at two well meaning
persons who moved apart and made a
space between them which looked
wide enough for her to seat herself
with comparative comfort.

The Game at Green Cove Springs.
bv Ebert Braddock

On Thursday the 9Th inst. the Cres-
cent City baseball club iourneyed to
Green Cove Springs to play the team
of that place, and met defeat by the
one sided score of 16 to 7.
1t was thought that the days of Jes-
Sc James and highway robbery in the
broad, open daylight were. things OF
the past. but after witnessing Thurs
DAVIS game one is inclined to think
that such is not the case. The Hun
terites received by far the rankest
deal from the umpire that has been
handed out to them so far this. year
and which completely eliminated
their chances of victory. At one
stage of the game certain members
of the Crescent City club threaten
ed to do violence to the Green Cove
umpire, but cooler heads rushed IL
and play was resumed.
Watts and Garwood opposed eacl
other on the hilltop, and the gam,
sailed along smoothly with boti
pitchers in cracking good form unit
the fourth inning, when the umplr
commenced to get in his "roug
stuff" and thereafter the Hunterite
plaved listliss ball, having about a
much chance of winning the game q
wooden-legged man would of climb
ing Pixies Peak.
This fellow, Garwood, has seen ser
vice in the Georgia State League an
the Cigar City League, but failed t
strike fear in any of the local hearts
every man on the team taking
crack at the ball with the eXceptio

Although unable to endorse the Gree
Cove brand of umpiring, every men
her of the club was loud in his praise
of Green Cove hospitality.

Widows Cans,

The widows cap is a survival OF an
old Roman custom. Widows were
obliged to wear their weeds for ten
months. and the bereaved woman
shaved her head as a token Of mourn
ing. Naturally the widow could not
very well appear in public with a bald
head. so dainty caps were made in or

still remains. though the immediate ne
cessity for its existence has long passed

Gunboat Smith Wins.

San Francisco, Jan. There
were no k2ockouts in the Gunboat
Smith-Arthur Pelky fight until the
fifteenth round, and then two in sue
cession brought victory to Smith.
The round was still young when
Smith, after breaking from clinch
let fly a full sweep right Tor Pelly's
Jaw. 1t was a blow, that Pelky had
avoided probably half hundred
times by ducking or allowing his
head to roll in the opening rounds.
But this time the Gunner reached
the mark spuarely and the Canadian
sprawled under the ropes at the
ringside. He tried to gather him
self together and directly he arose
he lurched towards Smith, intent on
clinching. Smith dealt him down
ward chop with his right on the
back of the head and Pelky meaSur-
ed his length on the floor a second
time. Game to the last, Arthur tried
to run race with the time keeper,
but was not properly on his legs be-
fore the final word "Out" sounded /.
For his owa sake it was just as we'll,
for he was thoroughly defenseless
and he would have received. another
stiffening smash from the hard hit
ting gunner.

GTLLETT BANK
ROBBERS ELUSIVE

Stuttgart, Jan. 1.--During the
robbery Of the Bank of Gillett early
Tuesday morning, as reported in the
Graphic. when $4,000 was taken,
$500 of which was in silver and
$4,000 in currency, five distinct shots
were heard by persons as far as two
blocks away, but they thinking it
was some one still celebrating
Christmas no attention was paid to
it, and no one arose from their beds.
The heavy outer door of the bank
safe was blown, and the inner door
which went next, was blown entirely
through one side of the building.
The robbery was first discovered
by the janitor who came to the
bank early and found all glasses
broken and pieces of the safe and
tools, the latter secured by the
ROBBERS from a nearby blacksmith
shop scattered over the floor, also
small quantity lof nitroglycerine
which had not been used.
Sheriff LaFargue was in Gillett
all yesterday, but no clue as to the
identity Of robbrs is to be had, and
nothing is known of them except
that they left town on horses, the
tracks of which could be plainly
seen from "a point near the bank.

have been reinforced by 500 men
from Hidalgo.
After their repulse in the first
attack early this morning when the
Federal machine guns moved the at
tackers down by scores, the rebels
main columns retired to a safe dis
tanre, but fighting continued
throug hout the day between small
detachments, the federals making
sorties from time to time. Artillery
played prominent part on both
sides. In the morning the rebels
managed to set fire to half dozen
houses in the western suburbs.
Bullets have been landing on the
merica inside of the river and one
man, stranger, was seriously
wounded by a stray bullet during
the morning battle.
