SCIENTIFIC HITTING PAYS.

Ejn&ldlxtr- - Tells Eow He Was Ablo toPisco tho Ball Anywhere.

"Before I joined the Boston BedStockings," said A. G. Spalding re-

cently, "I used to go up to the bat withthe solo object in view of hitting theball from the shoulder as hard as Icould, without any idea as to what partof the field it would go cr on theground cr in the air. All I thought ofwas to 'knock it cut cf the lot, ' as theboys say. But I soon found that therewas something more in batting thanthat I think I got my first idea ofwhat batting should bo from defendingmy wicket in cricket when we went toEngland on that baseball tour in 1874.At any rate, I got into the habit of try-

ing to place the ball, instead of hittingat random, and from that time I real-ized that to try to tap the ball to rightfield ever the heads cf the iufieldcrsand short of tho catching reach cf theoutfielders was about the right caper.

"The new method of handling thebat, I remember, came to me all of asudden. I had been for some monthsbatting very pocriy while hitting fromthe shculdcr, a base hit being the resultin about eight of ten times at the bat,and even less. One day I thought Iwould ay something different, and, get-ting some one to pitch swif t balls to me,I went in for tapping them to right fieldso that they would fall safe, and after afew trials up went my batting, averageof base hits at a jump, and especiallydid my hitting prove useful when run-ners were on the bases. The boys be-

gan to want me to follow them at thebat, because I hit so as to bat themround toward home. Then it was thatI first practically realized that a swift-ly pitched ball to the bat which wasjust tapped by the bat ihut is, hitlightly, but not like a 'bunt' would goto the field, sharp from the bat, withsurprising speed; besides which, I couldgovern its direction better than it waspossible in hittii'g it from the shoulder,as before.

"Talking of swif t pitching, " contin-ued Mr. Spalding, "I used to think thatwe old time pitchers could send in apretty speedy ball under the rule of theunderhand throw, but none of us everequaled thy speed of the cyclone pitch-ing cf the present time winch comesfrom the regular overhand throw. Then,too, with all our practice, we could notcommand the ball in delivery, as is pos-

sible in overhand throwing." NewYork Times.

Ee&dy to Bresk Party Ties to Vote AffainstFree Cohizz Th ry Forsa r Xarjje Per-esata- jrs

cr the Voters cr This Country.

Mr. Gustav H. Smwab is presidentof tho German society of New Yorkcity and is therefore in touch withGermans and German-America- ns in thiscountry. Being also a prominent business man, he is familiar with the viewsof Germans on the financial question. Inan interview an May 14 he said:

I am convinced from my knowledgecf my German-America- n fellow citi-zens and their ways of thinking thatthe vast majority of them in the comingpolitical contest will entirely disregardparty ties and will vote for that partywhich declares for the maintenance, be-

yond a possibility of doubt, of the goldstandard of value, and that they willnot give their suffrage to any candidatewho may be suspected of a leaning to-

ward free silver coinage or toward anycompromise with the silver people.

They consider that the paramountquestion before the country at present isthe integrity cf our monetary system,and their votes will go to that partywhich they believe will uphold thecountry's financial honor, regardless ofwhat their views may be on other polit-ical questions. Previous experience hasshown that German voters on questionsrelating to or affecting the standard ofvalue have always stood for commonhonesty, and that they have uniformlyopposed all forms of financial heresy.

When, 20 years ago, the paper moneyinflation question was agitated in Mis-souri, tho Germans of that state werearrayed on the side of sound money.The Germans of Illinois are on recordas always having been on tho right sideof tho money question, and as neverhaving been led astray by cheap moneypropaganda at any time. A Germanbusiness man, cashier of a large bank inChicago, who has a wide acquaintancewith the small bankers and merchantsthroughout the west, tells me that hebas had occasion to hear expressionsfrom his German countrymen for yearspast on the question of a monetarystandard, and that he has never yetfound one who was not in favor of thegold standard and opposed to the freecoinage cf silver.

His opinion is that tho German citi-zens of Illinois are unanimously opposedto any impairment of tho present goldstandard.

It is a fact, universally known, thatthe sound money victory in Ohio in thegubernatorial campaign of 1875, inwhich Kutherford B. Hayes ran on aRepublican hard money platformagainst William Allen on a Democraticpaper monry inflation platform, wasdue to the firm stand taken by the Ger-mans, who, disregarding party lines,turned the scale in the election in favorof honest money. This fact was conced-

ed at the time by the Republican pressof the state, and the Democratic candi-date voiced the sentiments of his partyleaders when he gave utterance to hislacerated feelings after the election byexdaiming, ' 'The Dutch are d d un-reliable. " The German voters are cer-

tainly not to be relied upon when theyare asked io prostitute the country'sfinancial honor at their party's bidding.In the state of Wisconsin the Germanshave taken the same united stand infavor of Bound money, and the samemay be said of Michigan, Iowa andMinnesota.

The entire German newspaper press inthis country, with few exceptions, isemphatically for sound money, as it hasbeen in the past, and can be dependedupon to pronounce in favor of the main-tenance of the present standard of valueand for the party that represents thisprinciple, regardless of previous partyaffiliations. Several important GermanDemocratic papers in the western stateshave already threatened to bolt theirticket if a free silver plank should beadopted. As an indication of the gen-eral sentiment of the German press Irefer to the position taken by the largestand oldest German newspaper in thesonth, The Demokrat of Louisville, inthe last state election in Kentucky. Al-

though always Democratic up to thattime, this paper bolted the Democraticfree silver candidate and urged the elec-

tion of the Republican sound money can-didate for governor.

The importance of the German votewill be apparent when the numericalstrength of the German-America- n popu-lation in the pivotal states is consider-ed. The returns of the census of 1890show that the state of New York thencontained 972,603 German-American- s,

Ohio 541,407, Illinois G90.5S8, Penn-sylvania 472,423, Michigan 276,258,Wisconsin 551,S34, Minnesota 244634,Iowa 269,003 and Missouri 297,095.

Whatever may be the decision of thenational conventions on the money ques-tion, this issue will be fairly, sqnarelyand most thoroughly placed before theGerman voter in the course of the cam-paign, and as to the nature of his re-sponse I do not entertain any doubt

TH EGARBAG E CLEANER.

How tho "Stopper" Goes His Konnds Pick-i- n

Up Unconsidered Trifles."That man is a slopper, " xmarked a

police officer to a Star writer a fewmornings since, "and he and his classgive us any amount of trouble. If hestole, we could reach him by the law,but as he only finds, we cannot easilyreach him." In further explanation, hesaid: ' 'A slopper is a man who searchesthrough the garbage cans in the alleysin the rear cf hotels, boarding housesand private houses. Some only searchfor spoons, knives and forks that arethrown into the garbage receptacle by j

careless servants, for it is a fact that !

there are more silver spoons and knivesand forks thrown away with the gar-bage than are stolen by servants, though

;

the contrary is generally believed. Theslopper is generally an hour or so aheadof the garbage collector, and he is oftenmore regular and careful in his roundsthan the garbage man.

" 'By industry we thrive, ' as the linein the copy books used to maintain, andby industry on a good west end route,especially one which takes in a number !

of boarding houses or hotels, a sloppercan find enough tableware to pay thoexpenses of his tour. Often he makes arich find. Yery frequently ho has per-mission to 'slop' the can from the own-ers of the houses themselves, for he tellsthem he is on the lookout for stray ;

pieces of meat, etc., which he sells tothose who have dogs to feed. Somesloppers are honest enough to returnany silverware they may find for thedog meat privilege, Jrat it is a terribletemptation to many, and one they can-not or do not at times withstand." I

Though this town is unknown to fame,it boasts one legitimate claim to classi-fication among the progressive. It hasa woman bank cashier. She is not onlythe cashier, but does the work of thepresident, board of directors, teller andbookkeeper.

The Merchants' bank of Forsythe is' a private concern, with capital stock of

$35,000, and its cashier is Miss MabelKennedy, an attractive young womanstill in her teens. She is not a relativeof the owner of the bank, either, butwon her position by demonstrating herability to do the work satisfactorilyand safely.

Forsythe is a town of 400 people, be--

its often run well up into the thousands,and loans are at times large. Miss Ken-nedy passes upon all securities offered,makes'the loans, receives deposits, drawsexchanges, keeps the books and in factdoes all the work of the bank.

The bank is in a building of its own,and, though neighbors are within easycall, the busy little cashier never hasoccasion to invoke the assistance of anyof them. She is an expert, rapid ac-

countant, handles money carefully andexpeditiously and knows good moneyfrom bad. She refuses loans on insuffi-

cient security so sweetly and with suchtact that would be borrowers have beenknown to persist time and again, know-ing they wouldn't get the money, butcounting the chance to talk to the pret-ty cashier worth the refusal. But thecashier is strictly business during bank-ing hours.

Though there are cattle to the southof them and sheep to tho north of them,and cowboys and shcepherders on allsides of them, and a stretch of wild ter-ritory in every direction, there neverhas been any attempt at robbery in Por-sythe, and the cashier pursues the eventenor of her way, fearing no harm,knowing that, to a man, the townwould rally to her defense should a raidbe attempted.

Miss Kennedv is a native of Marshall-tow- n,

English Ilairdressinsr.Lady Helen Stewart, a fashion leader

of England, has decreed that societythat is, the feminine element must-par- t

its hair on the side or expose theforehead guiltless of ccquetrish curls.

And fashion that is, in Englaud isbeginning to sway a bit in her direc-tion.

While the American girl would lookwith horror on this nnfeminine coiffeurfor her adoption, yet it gives a sigh ofrelief when it thinks that maybe LadyHelen's example will take effect amongthe world of Britain's elect.

That frightful curled, frizzed bangthat the Princess of Wales insists uponretaining has spoiled the faces of manywomen who might otherwise have beencalled pretty.

I shall never forget once seeing Mrs.Beerbohm Tree make her toilet for a re-

ception. She had invited me up to herroom. She was combing her mass ofyellow hair down over her eyes, and Ithought it was only a trirk of gettingher back hair out of tangles. Judge ofmy surprise when she frizzed up thismass with the comb as one does featherswith a knife and let it hang in front.

On went the ever present Englishtoque over this heroic bang, and I didnot wonder that the bellboys stared.

But Mrs. Tree was only arrangingher hair as all of her set da Thereforelet every lover of beauty hope that eventhe formality of Lady Helen's plainforehead may make headway againstthe untidy, unbecoming coiffeurs of thewomen of the English nobility.

Kew England Women's Society.The first year of existence of the Na-

deavors socially and financially, and itsprospects indicate even greater useful-ness and prosperity another year. Amost interesting feature of its methodof work is its historic day, held ev-

ery month. At these meetings a pro-gramme made up of special colonial pe-

riods is presented. The ground has beencarefully covered to the close of tho sev-

enteenth century, and many delightfulpapers have been included in the out-

line.The last historic day of the season,

held a short time ago, was one of thomost brilliant. It included a luncheonand reception at the Windsor hotel, be-

To Be a Slusenrn of Fashion.Paris, long reputed to bo the center

of fashions in feminine attire, is nowabout to have an institution called theSalon National dc la Mcde, This willbe a sort of museum, exhibiting withinits precincts all the styles of dress wornby the ever changing followers of thefashions during the close of the presentcentury. Everything used for the adorn-ment of the female form is to be visiblein the new institution, and it is intend-ed to make the collection of lace em-

broidery, linen, dresses, parasols,gloves, hats, jewels and perfumery com-

prehensive and unique. All exhibitswill be accurately classified and dated,so that the visitors to tho fashion showmay be able to wander from the hatwhich went out in 1S95 to the orna-mental head covering by which it wasreplaced in 1896, and so on with regardto the other articles of attire.

There is also to be an exhibition ofthe divers adjuncts of masculine dress,and the ties, hats, canes and coats fa-

vored by the male exquisites of the endof the century will find a prominentplace in the new salon. The institutionis to be a very serious affair, for the Sa-

lon National de la Mode is to exist, ac-

cording to the determined design of itsorganizers and patrons, for art's sakealone, and no vulgar requirements areto be gratified inside its hallowed por-tals. Paris Letter.

Mrs. Beecher on Fashions.Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher thinks that

many of the prevailing fashions are ab-surd- T

"What can bo more disgustingover a small, delicate face than themost absurd and troublesome headgearworn?" she said in a recent article."We turn from this ridiculous structureto the dress, which surely should bysimplicity modify the absurdity of theother.

"But, alas, the deformity of the head-gear sinks into insignificance when onesees a dress flounced, puffed and sweep-ing the streets with a long train. Butwhat ejaculations are strong enough toexpress the surprise and disgust whenone looks at the sleeves! Surely absurd-ity can go no farther. But fashion is atyrant, and volumes written about theharm she does will be of little use untilwomen defy her and make her subordi-nate.

"The efforts and admonitions of ageand long experience have but little ifany influence toward checking the longestablished control that fashion for yearshas held over her followers. The oldlook sadly on the vagaries of the young,but if they should look back to then-ow-n

early days they might recall ab-

surdities. Perhaps even the dress andstyle to which for a long time they havepertinaciously adhered will be thoughtby the young liable to the same crit-

icism. "Clara Barton's Victory.
