SCIENCE AVAILED HIM NOT.
tVhcn the Farmer Started for Him
, There Was Something Inckinir.
"There wns a time in my life , " said a
Delroiter the other evening , as the sub
ject of pugilisim was being discussed ,
"when I rather.expected to take and
retain the heavy-weight championship
nguinst all coiners. I was selling sow
ing machines in Indiana , having a
horse and wagon and calling at the dif
ferent farmhouses , and on several oc
casions I had to take ' .sass' from farm
ers. After one of them had Hung me
over the fence and a second bad run
me out of his gate I made up uiy mind
to learn a thing or two about boxing.
I was at the home office all winter and
I took twenty-four lessons from a 'pug *
who knew bis business. At the end of
the term I could slam him all over the
fihop and he assured me that I could
lick three sturdy farmers rolled into
one and not half try.
"When I started out in the spring i
had my hat on my ear , and I made : i

who had run me out in the fall. 1

with him and knock his head oft' . He
happened to be workini ? ab.mt tlu yard
s I drove up and as soon as he recog
nized me be called out :
" 'Didn't I tell you never to come 1'oro
again ? If you step foot on my land
you'll get tbe boot ! '
" 'You can't give it to me , ' I said as
I got down.
" 'Don't give me no sass ! '
" 'And you conn * out here and go.
your bead busted ! '
"Ho came , " sighed the ex-agent. "I
had driven eleven iiles to lick him. ami
J felt sure I could put him to sleep * :
one round , but something happened-
something I had not counted on.
" 'Did he have sons or a hired mar.
who interfered ? '
"No. sir. It was simply that I sml
xlenly discovered I hadn't the grit of a
grasshopper. Tbe minute the nia'n
started for me with pounded glass in
Ills eyes and bis lists doubled up I went
weak in the knees and began to chew on
my heart. If he hadn't been in a hurry
I should have tri < > d to buy him off , but
he didn't wait for cash offers. He came
right out to me and let lly , and within
five minutes I was the worst licked
man Indiana ever saw. He gave me a
thumping that laid me up for a month ,
and the only blow I got in simply
knocked his bat off. I was taller and
heavier than he was. and with 1113sci -
ouce I ought to have put him to slee'j
"with the first swing , but I came out as
I have told you.
"That ended my pugilistic career as
well as my agency. I don't say I
wouldn't liirht if a man spat on my
shoes or pulled my nose , " concluded the
Detrditer. according to the Detroit
Free Press , "but you can take it tbat I

SHE LEFT HER BABY.
What Happened to a Forgetful Wom
an on a Street Car.
"Things have been rather dull of late
in the way of experiences that set one
thinking , " remarked the conductor of
the Georgetown and Tennalytown rail
way who finds himself up against the
real thing at frequent intervals. "I
haven't had more than half a dozen
k
fool questions put to me in as many
days , and they were all of the inoffeu-
eive type , such as a woman asking me
to please let her off when we reached
her house , I not knowing her house
* my more than I knew her , as I never
fremeinbered having seen her before.
"I recall a funny incident back in
the old days when I was running a
horse car on the F street line , " the
c-onductor went on. "A woman carry-
Ing several bundles boarded my car
uptown somewhere , but I didn't pay
finy special attention to her. She got :
off at 9th street to transfer. We jogged
along and bad almost reached 7th
street when I heard a great commotion
behind. I looked back and saw the
bundle-laden woman , followed by a
dozen other persons , coining toward
me at a brisk run. She was noticeably
excited. I signaled the driver to stop
jind waited for the pursuers , wonder
ing what tbe trouble could be. As the
woman came near she shook her fist
and shouted to me : 'You've got my
baby : "
"I replied that I did not want her
child , especially as I had three of my
own at home. She jumped aboard the
car and recovered possession of an in
fant that I had been in the act of un
consciously kidnaping. She again
alighted. " concluded the conductor , ac
cording to the Washington Star , "and
I rang two bells to go ahead , glad that
I was not called upon to turn in a hu
man being as lost property when the
end of the route was reached. "
She Explained the Meaning.
One of the easiest ways for a law
yer to confuse a witness is to make him
explain the meaning of a word. Few
people can define a word satisfactorily ,
even if they know its meaning. A West
ern lawyer was cross-examining a
young woman who bad a very haughty
temper. According to tbe l-ros Angeles
Herald , she had testified that she had
seen the defendant "shy" a book at the
plaintiff.
" 'Shy ? ' 'Shy' book ? What do you
mean by that ? Will you explain to the
court what the word 'shy' means ? "
The girl leaned over the desk beneath
tbe witness-box , picked up a law book ,
and threw it so accurately and so forc
ibly at the lawyer that he had hard
work to dodge it.
"I think the court now understands
the meaning of the word 'shj- , ' " said
the Judge , gravely. The girl was al
lowed to finish her testimony.
No one can read the Bible out loud
, an the same voice in which be would
read a selection from a newspaper.
HARD TO CONTROL
CHICAGO POLICE HAVE ANOTHER
STIRRING DAY.
RIOTERS FULL OF' DARING
CLUBS AND STONES USED WITH EN-
T1UK ABANDON.
A DOZEN BATTLES FOUGHT
Some of the Collision * Serious and Deaths
May Result Conference LooKiug to
Strike Settlement.
Chicago June 6. Driven by men
covered with dust and blood , many of
them barely able from exhaustion to
hold the reins in their hands , thirty-
six meat wagons entered the main
gate of the Union stock yards
Wednesday nmid a shower of stones ,
'bricks , bottles and sticks
The wagons guarded by five police
wagons , tilled with blue coats and
two omnibuses , crowded to the full
est capacity with policemen , were on
the return from a delivery of sup
plies to down town provision houses ,
after one of the fiercest days in the
strike of the beef packers teamsters
Many of the drivers , who are offic
ials at the packing houses , were cut
and bruised from head to foot.
The police were in even worse
con'liton.
The wagon drivers had been work
ing from 5 o'clock in the morning ,
and their progress from the stock
yards into the city s business district
and back again had been contested
by mobs of strike sympathizers.
At the very entrance of the stock
yards Wednesday after all seeming
danger had passed , George June , an
employe of the Anglo-American
Packing company was sruck by a
base-ball bat and knocked from his
wagon seat.
He was picked up in an imcon-nous
condition and , it is believed , he
may die.
Many others were struck at the
same time by a shower of stones , but
the police were to much worn out to
offer resistence.
More than a dozen battles were
fought during the day between
rioters and the police and the hos
pitals tonight are overcrowded with
the injured. The fiercest battle of
tbe day took place this afternoon at
Sixteenth street and Michigan ave-
n ic. The rioters stood on the via
duct and hurled rocks at the meat
wagons passing underneath.
The throng was the most formida
ble in numbers and in daring of any
of the crowds gathered during the
d iy. Before this mo'b could be dis
persed the police were compelled to
use revolvers. More than 'fifty
shots were fired , bullets passing
over the heads of the crowd ,
which finally became frightened and
scattered , but not until many of the
rioters and policemen had suffered
serious injuries.

MOB SPIRIT HIGH
RIOTOUS DEMONSTRATIONS CON

STRENUOUS DAY FOR POLICE
STRIKERS AND SYMPATHIZERS KEEP
THEM ACTIVE.
SOME SERIOUS COLLISIONS
Entire Reserve Force of Officers on Hand

Obstacles.
Chicago , June 4. Chicago's police
were given a strenuous life today by
the striking packing house team
sters. From daylight Tuesday morn
ing until long after dark' tonigtit the
blue coats were kept busy dispersing
trouble-makers , who congregated
along the streets and in every con
ceivable manner placed obstacles in
the way of the meat dealers who en
deavored to move their supply wag
ons with non-union drivers. In spite
of the striking teamsters and their
friends , thirty-three wagon loads of
meat were delivered from the stock
yards to down town stations. Before
the task was accomplished , however ,
a score of police and rioters had
been injured and fully fifty persons
had been placed under arrest.
Several of the injuied were in such
serious condtiou that they were taken
to hospitals. Two of the injured
may die.
When the procession of wagons left
the packing district they were
guarded by a heavy detail of police.
As soon as tbe wagons emerged
at the entrance of the yards fully 500
enraged strikers' sympathizers
made a rush to overturn the convey
ances. The policemen drew clubs
and after a hard struggle succeeded
in scatttering the mob. A fresh
start was made but before the wag
ons reached the down town district
the mob , augumented * by hundreds
of sympathizers , made another at
tack.
In the tight that followed revolv
ers were drawn. No person was
shot , the police instead using their
clubs indiscriminately and a dozen
or more people were hurt before the
march could be resumed. When the
central portion of the city was
reached clashes between the police
and tbe crowd became numerous.
Street car traffic was an impossi-
bilty and it was necessary for sever
al squads of polite to charge the
crowds with batons before the wag
ons had reached I he various down
town houses.
To add to the burdens of the police
department 1,300 drivers and their
helpers employed by the state street
general retail merchandise depart
ment stores went on a strike today.
An attempt was made to deliver
"department stores" goods in the
down town district this afternoon
with non-union drivers under police
protection but so much disorder de
veloped tbat the attempt proved fu
tile. Before the project was aband
oned several rioters were hurt and
many arrests had been'made. .
Chicago's entire police force was on
active "or reserve duty today as a re
sult of the serious aspect assumed
by the stockyards teamsters' strike.
Every patroleman on a furlough
reported for duty today and many ol
the police on crossing duty in the
down town district were held in
readiness for riot calls.
Hundreds of officers assembled
early in the morning at headquarters
and were given definite orders to
prevent disturbances such as marked
yesterday's deliveries of meat by
bbe packers
The strikers have doubled their
picket force to try and dissuade
non-union men from carrying meat
from railroad branch houses either
Lo hotels and restaurants or distrib
uting points of the ' 'big eight"
packingestablishments.
All the buildings of tbe packers
ire under guard , the police assist-
ng in many instances. The strik
ers depreciated yesterday's Inwless-
pess and disclaim responsibilit } foi
it. They say in all instances the
, vork of the mob was the work ol
sympathizers only.
Delivery drivers of the big depart- ,
nent stores have become dissatisfied
vith their positions and threaten
; o make the teamsters' strike still
nore serious by tying up all deliv
ery. Today the"teamster employes
> f the Boston stores struck. The
Tair teamsters already ar ? outand
ither men who were"pressed into
ervice on the wagons today met
vith constant blokades formed by
ympathizing teamsters in other wag-
ins along their routes.

HANDS OF GREAT PIANIST8L
Chcy Need Muscular Development
All the FinjjerH.
The bands of celebrated pianists af-
'ord a very Interesting study to moeb
people , but especially to those wte
tnow something about pianoforte play
ing. Speaking in a general way , we
nay group the hands of pianists into
Jwo classes , ( a ) the broad band with
short lingers ; ( b ) the narrow band with
Jong fingers. Von Billow's and
lands would come under the
jf class A. In fact , Tausig's hand *
Jvere so small that he was unable ta
play octaves correctly. Tbe higher
aote usually followed tbe lower instead ,
if both being struck simultaneously.
The bauds of Liszt and Mark Ham-
bo urg belong to class B. Tuos * vrho =
ire acquainted with Liszt's arrange
ments of Beethoven's and BeriJoz ?
jymphonles know tbat be expanded the
chords to dimensions which foe th *
majority of players are absolutely Im
possible , yet Liszt could play them
with ease.
Mark Ilambourg Is tbe possessor oJ
wonderful pianoforte technique. Bach
day be commences work with San-
flow's exercises and then practices on.
tbe pianoforte for four or live hours ,
lie has never indulged in what ar
called "finger gymnastics , " neither has
lie used a digitorium or teclmlcon.
How few people who listen to th
performances of a celebrated planiat or
violinist realize tbe amount of hard
work be lias bad to do In order to over
come all tbe technical difficulties of his
instrument. Years of daily grind are
absolutely necessary for getting tb
lingers Into a condition of complete
obedience to tbe will. Schumann In
; rylug to improve bis technique became
impatient and overworked bis fingers ,
with tbe result tbat be bad to abas-
don pianoforte playing.
Von Bulow used to su } ' that three
tilings are necessary for a good pian
ist : "Tbe first , technique ; tbe second ,
tebcnique , and tbe third , technique. "
Possibly tbls was said so as to impress
upon tbe beginner tbat intellect and.
emotion were of no use unless he bad
tbe means of expressing them in a flu
ent way on tbe pianoforte * tf
In tbe present day considerable nms-
culnr power is required in pianoforte
playing. To some extent this is owinjj
to tbe fact tbat each nole when struck-
possesses a certain resistance , but th *
resistance is not equal throughout the
keyboard. Tbe bass notes offer more-
resistance to tbe fingers tbau tbe treble
and consequently more attention
should be paid to tbe strengthening of
tbe muscles of tbe left band.
Tbe pianist's bands can be developed
at tbe instrument or away from It. It
away from the pianoforte then "finger
gymnastics" may be used or an appara
tus called tbe "tecbnicon. " "Finger
gymnastics" are exercises which can
be practiced evidently at any time or
in any place , for you find people even
in street cars and trains indulging in
the exorcise of their finger joints and
looking anything but sane In their
efforts to rival Paderewski in feats of
digital strength.
ADULTERATION OF FOOD.

It will be surprising to learn that
