Arthur Irwin has every reason to feel pleased with the boys, because they certainly are playing up to their standard, which is far above the second-division class. Irwin has handled the men admirably, and during the time when they were In that fearful rut he refrained from crying "hard luck," as many men would have done under like circumstances. The only thing that the manager did Bay was that with another good pitcher he would be right in it.

Everybody in the car was watching league In all its history.

In addition to that he was then giving indications of his future availability as a great catcher.

During the latter part of that season the Cleveland club, then a member of the American asso her with look3 of mingled disapproval and curiosity. She finally got the roll undone so that Mr. Baby's face became 1 visible.

And such a face as it was! There was probably never a more com pletely surprised set of people In that street car before. Baby was a real beauty of the sort that is apparent to somebody else besides the mother. Such eye.s, such dimples and, withal, such a ciation, purchased his release from the Rochester club management. Since then he has been identified with the Cleveland club's interests. In 1888 he took part in sixty-three championship games.

During the winter of 1888-89 the Cleveland club resigned ite membership in the American association at which the boarders shall vie with each other and exhibit their accomplishments to the public. The Hist work in thin university, (he Inventor nrgeti, should he done with monkeys. A troou. of intelligent simians should he secured and enroll! and then placed in the hands of competent Instructors. One of the first points to be determined Is whether the monkey Is smarter than the dog.

It is argued that the dog has acquired much of his intelligence by living for generation ufter generation In the society of man, anil that his Intellect is overestimated. The monkey has not had this advuntage.and. of course, in handicapped. It is very lilfflcult to keep monkeys In captivity in a northern climate, and they rarely breed in cages, so that the question of Improving the strain and giving the monkey a fair chance to grow up with the country Is quite complicated. The scientist puts forth the contention that the monkey is a much more amiable creature than people think and that it is not from malice or a spirit of mockery that he seems to Imitate the movements of man, but simply that being built on the same principle as man lie naturally conducts himself in a similar manner.

In training monkeys It Is Important to select the right sort, there being cs much difference in the mental and moral makeup of monkeys as there is between those of the wild man of Borneo and Chauncey Depew. The very big monkeys show the most sense and almost anything can lie done with them In the educational line, but the trouble Is that as noon as they grow up they become fierce and dangerous, only the young ones consenting to work. The baboon and the mandril make promising pupils, however, and should be accepted In the university. Theoretically there is no difference in the training of monkeys and dogs, out practically there Is a great deal on account of the savageness of the former. But the monkey has more chances than the dog In the line of gymnastics because be has four hands and besides has a natural fondness for calisthenics.

Monkeys pretend to be very much bored when being drilled. Their only Idea seems to be to dodge their task. They know perfectly well what you and Joined the National league.

Arthur Irwin, however, brought one man to New York, and although he is not a pitcher, he is worth bright, healthy, smiling face in all probability will never light up a similar occasion. Baby's appearance worked like a magic charm on the re3t of the passengers. As soon as his face was uncovered he took a survey of the passengers about him with owlish gravity. Then, a3 If struck by somo highly ludicrous Idea In the contemplation of the scene, he burst into a great tit of baby laughter.

He chirruped and chuckled and kicked up hia lipeld in such glee that inside of a minute be had the entire car on his side. The scowling looks had all disappeared as If by magic and people forgot all about the disagreeable weather outside and their uncomfortable surroundings within and joined with baby In a broad smile at the novel situation. Somehow that baby's genuine, healthy and spontaneous good spirits had for the time put an entirely new phase on life for all who saw him. Players' league was formed, Zlmmer remained true to the Cleveland club of the National league, although great pressure was brought to bear upon him to have him Join the opposing forces; but he refused to listen to their overtures, and thereby maintained the reputation he had made of being one of the most thoroughly honest and con a great deal to the local club, and it required considerable effort to sign him.

In 1890 he took part in one hundred and twenty-five championship games, in all of which he played behind day whether the pitcher has gone back as a leading player of a team, or if the public has come to notice the other the bat In 1891 he took part in one hundred and sixteen championship players more, and not star the pitcher, games, and in 1892 he took part in one as it did once. What I mean is this. hundred and eleven contests.

In 1893 In the old days of the National league at least two-thirds of the great teams ho took part in fifty-five championship games. In 1894 he ranked first as a catcher in the official fielding averages of the major league, taking part that made their reputations by their pitchers. For instance there was Providence, with Rad bourne and Sweeney; year in eighty-eight championship Cleveland, with McCormick; Chicago, want them to do, but they sneak out of with Corcoran and Goldsmith; Boston, with Bond; Buffalo, with Galvin, and I might go on indeterminately and find ADELAIDE HERRMANN. games, with a percentage of .931. During the season of 1895 he took part in eighty-three championship contests, and ranked high in the official batting averages of the major league, with a percentage of .336.

They are very active in putting into practice whatever mental impressions they receive and not satis- teams predominated.

In many articles of furniture, all his own handi Bond than you did about the Bostons. I shall always believe that McCormick attracted more attention than the Cleveland team as a whole.

So it is true of the others. Now the pitcher is a factor, and is talked about, but not to the exclusion of the team. Young, in spite of the really magnificent work that he did in 1895, and Cuppy, as well, were known factors of the team, but their work did not overshadow the beautiful playing of the work. respects the monkey has the artistic, non-plodding temperament. He Is al In these days of general feminine bicycling this is worth recording.

It was on her second voyage to this country that Miss Scarsez for the first time met Alexander Herrmann, who was a fellow passenger. Shipboard is a proverbially good place for engendering tender passions, and Herrmann and Miss Scarsez proved mutually attractive. Two months after their landing in America they were married, and their remarkably happy life since then is one of the instances often used to refute the reckless slanders of people who assert that theatrical marriages are seldom as blessed as they should be. With her husband Adelaide Herrmann has played not only in nearly every city of over ten thousand inhabitants in the United States, but in I.onUvllte'1 Hard Lark.

She next Joined John T. Kelly and Gus Williams' and company, in which she played the soubrette part. She next assumed a boy's part in "The Hustler," in which she met with much success. Di'rlng the past season she played the part of the Zulu in the burlesque "Thrllby," after which she joined Rice's "1492" company.

She Is at present upon the vaudeville stage, where her services are in active demaud, and where her. changes from feminine to masculine attire, done with marvelous rapidity, have added much to the fame she has won by her singing. Miss Rawl-Bton has recently had all of her songs Louisville to remain at the bottom and other members of the Clevelands.

He is much more susceptible of bribery than a dog.

The Confidential Intimate and Arirtlcr of Country People, It is now the country doctor, not the country minister, who is the confidential intimate and adviser of the people, says the Boston Transcript. He alone It la who now knows the antecedents of men and women, the history of their families, their inherited qualities, their record of trials and temptations, the skeletons In their closets.

The clergyman, however able, has usually been for a year or two only in his parish; he has not yet got really behind the scenes; he knows nothing of the hereditary traits, the traditional obstacles. Ho has not the key to men's struggles; with the utmost official deference he is left in a great degree outside of their lives. They do not turn to him, after all, as they do to the family physician who assisted some of them into the world, who tided the perplexed household through that long siege of fevers, who remembers grandfather in his prime and knew the long tragedy of Aunt Eunice's desolate life. Even the sympathetic stranger soon finds out to whom he must go to learn the social ties and traditions of the community; certainly not to the clergyman, who Is apt to be but of yesterday. Fortunately this position of confidence Into which the country physician Is now lifted is In Itself a liberal education; he learns to prescribe for the sick soul as for the invalid body.

Perhaps he does It as well, on the whole, as his predecessor, the clergyman, did before him; but it is nevertheless an essential change of dynasty, and every added breaking up of a strong and prosperous clerical influence makes the transformation more noticeable. In place of the country solicitor, the Ttilklnghorn of the English novels the man who held in his strong box the mysteries of every family we had for a long time In New England the semi-official class of country ministers. Now, with the multiplication of sects and the abbreviation of pastorates, the minister practically abdicates and the physician takes his place as the confidential adviser of the community at large.

In other words, that a locomotive of the latest approved pattern will run 500,000 milea before wearing out so as to be useless.

In the last named she first Introduced the "serpentine" at the Pairet Theater, and fairly set the excited Cubans wild. Their theaters are generally very badly lighted, and the display of light and color was to them a revelation. The way in which Mrs.

Herrmann came to do the "serpentine" is somewhat remarkable. About three years ago the Herrmanns were under engagement to play with Mr. Hamnierstein In Harlem. He also had a contract with Lole Fuller to appear at an early date, and being unable to find a suitable entertainment in which to put her, he proposed to Mr. Herrmann to anticipate his date and let Miss Fuller do her dance in one of the intermissions.

This was arranged, and Miss Fuller proved so successful that Herrman offered her an engagement for the remainder of the season. She, however, was obliged to return to Paris, and thereupon Mrs. Herrmann told hei husband that Ehe could do the dance. He was at first Inclined to be rather Incredulous, as she had not danced for thirteen years, but in a little mora than two weeks Mrs. Herrmann wag giving the dance, and for three seasons has continued to do so.

To how great a perfection she has brought it all who have witnessed it during the recent remarkably successful engagement al Palmer's Theater in New York City, can emphatically testify.
