tempt to Fight Back.
A young Hindoo tells an amusing
story of his first visit to London. His
hostess, mindful of the great change
in climate TO ~hich the traveller had
been subjected. wished to make him
as comfortable as possible. Accord
inGly, when she prepared his room FOE
the night, she put into his bed a rub
Der hot water bottle. a contrivance
quite unknown in India.
The young man retired, undressed
and got into bed. As he did so his
feet encountered a smooth. warm OBJ
ject which he supposed to be some
kind of animal. In terror he leaped
from the bed and CROPPED about for
the light. Unaccustomed to his sur
roundings. be was a long time in find
ing it, and at every step he trembled
lest the unknown creature should at
tack him.
At length he found the light and
looked about vainIy for a weapon. He
was on the point of calling for help
when he thought of trying the closet
There he found several canes. He Sc
lected the stoutest OF them and re-
solved to try conclusions with the in
truder.
He approached the foot of the bed.
where he was somewhat protected by
the footboard, and raised his weapon
for speedy blow, while with his left
hand he grasped the bedclothes and
began cautiously to turn them down
Then, nerving himself for final eff
fort, he tore the clothes from the bed
and struck viciously at the round black
object that he had exposed. ~
One blow was enough to convince
him that the animal" was lifeless and
always had been. His terror gave
place to amusement, and after he had
his laugh out he went back 20 bed and
enjoyed undisturbed repose until morn

THE UMPIRE WAS GAME.
And He Made the Kickers Play Out
the Last Inning.

AND ne MADE the kickerS Play OUT
the Last Inning.
Speaking of the doings of the veter-
an umpires, an old timer claims that
Honest John Kelly is entitled to the
record for freak doings among the in
dicator handlers. Back in the Ameri-
can association days, in a game played
on the old Union grounds in Alleghs-
ny, Calvin was pitching for Pittsburg
against Casey of the Athletics. Kelly
was the umpire. In the ninth inning,
with the score 8 to in favor
Pittsburg made home run hit to CEN
ter, and the visiting team at once set
up claim that it was too dark TO play. ]
The center fielder came all the way
in and pretended that he could not see
the ball in the gathering darkness.
Here" said Kelly; give me a glove
and with that he started for center
field. ''I'll see how dark it is out there"
he said. You, Casey and Calvin, bat
me out a few" Players and spectaJ
tors gasped, but Kelly made good his
bluff He went out TO deep center
and, with the smoke of the mills lying
low about him, actually caught ten: or
fifteen long line drives and high flies
from the hats of the two pitchers with
out missing one.
Then the umpire came in and, taking
off his glove, said: "Play ball. If can
see 'em out there, you fellows can
The game was resumed, and the Pitts
burgs won in n great batting rally by

WET AND DRY MOONS.
Old Superstition and Cold Facts From,
the Astronomers.

the Astronomers.
There is an old superstition which
dies hard, and that is that the posi-
ton of the horns of the new moon
tells what the weather viii be. If the
horns of the crescent are on the same
level it will hold water, and hence. It
is a dry moon, but If it is tipped mp
then the water will run out, and it is
q wet moon.
One thing has helped keep this be
lief alive. The moon is dry" in the
part of the spring that is usually fak,
while it is ''wet" during the season Of
autumn rains.
If this We're sure sign of tie
weather we could have our predfe-
tons published many years in ad-
vance, for an astronomer can predict
the exact position of the moon at any
time in the future.
The cause for the different positions
of the crescent ia simple. The moon is
south of the sun in the autumn and
north of 1t in spring. The crescent Is
found by the light of the sun falling
on the moon. and the horns are natu-
rally in a line perpendicular to the di-
rection of the sun from the moon.
That is all there is 10 this old super
stition.-Boston Herald.

NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-Mayor
Gamer, of Providence, was the guest
of honor at the ninth annual dinner
of the New York Alumni Association
of Holy Cross College, held in the
Hotel McAlpin last evening. Mr.
Gamer referred to the need of edu-
eating young Catholics in the active
civic affairs of the nation, especially
so that they would exercise a moder-
ating influence on radical legislation.
He urged them to combat the new
ideas of eugenic laws, individualism.
attacks on private property, and es-
pecially Legislation of the minimum
wage class.
Bird S. Coler, former comptroller,
defended Catholic schools and Cath
ollie education as a curb on the
growth of socialism. Collector Dud-
ley Field Malone predicted the crea-
ton of an organization in his own po-
litical party which would fight graft
and continue the campaign until pr
rity In politics would be automatic
Other speakers were Rev. Joseph

CAPITAL TO Be RID /,
OF VICE CENTRES
Inmates of DisorderIy Houses
to Quit, Pending Signing
of Kenyon Bill. 81
From a star Correspondent.I

rom u SNah
WA SHINGTON, Jan. est is ex-
pected that the President will slsB
the Kenyon bill, wiping out the DIS
orderly houses of this city, within the
next day or two. Meanwhile Chief OF
Police Sylvester has notified the pro
prietors and inmates of the places
to be prepared for an immediate
exodus on the day the bill becomes
law. Not a few of the proprietors
have already packed up and prepared
for moving.
There are several organizations in
the capital quietly working in the in
terests of the women who will be
thrown upon the world. The head OF
National Florence Crittenton Mission
has Offered to give homes to all who
will apply for them. She will also
provide places for those who do not
care to go into institutions, and will
also send to their homes those who
desire to go there.
Aid for Unfortunate Women.
A large number of women in va
rious walks of life have displayed 3.
generous interest In the subject, and
there will be no lack of funds and
practical sympathy for all those who
can be prevailed upon to accept Them
Necessarily those who are doing the
best and most effective work to help
the women to start life anew do not
wish to have their names or the char
acter of the work exploited. Some Of
the congressman who were opposed
in private to the passage of the bill.
fearing that 1t would throw about 300
women on the world, have expressed
satisfaction. when they heard of the
generous manner in which so many
good women have gone to the assist
ance of their sisters. Many of the
women who have gone to the aid OF
the unfortunate women Of the under
world are not connected with any re-
ligious or uplift association. 1t ap-
pears to be a spontaneous expression
of womanly sympathy in a most
practical and beneficial way.
Several of the religious organiza-
tons have joined in the movement
to help the unfortunates and have
widely advertised what they will do
for them.

In Alexandra, on the other side
of the Potomac river, there has been
some apprehension among the resi-
dents lest the people of Washington's
underworld should move over there.
Investigations have been made by
those who have the general welfare
of the community at heart. and SO
far not a single case has been dis
covered in that quaint old town of
any effort to transfer the red-light
district over there. The organization
of real estate men of the district OF
Columbia have called a meeting to
take action which will prevent the
dispossesed ones from taking UP
their business in private houses. The
elimination of the undesirable ele-
ment is being carefully watched from
every angle. and the general impress
sion is that under the drastic provi-
sions of the law 1t will be practically
impossible for 1t to be sheltered here.
