A Costly Client.
Miss Bayley told me that Mr.
Phlpps the oculist , told a gentleman ,
who told her , the following anecdote
of the Into Duchess of Devonshire :
Mr Phlpps was sent for to Chats-
worth to operate upon the duchess'
eye. He stayed there some time nnd
at parting received from the duke a
fee of 1,000. Just before he stepped
into his carriage a message from the
duchesH brought him to her chamber.
She hoped the duke had done what
was handsome by Mr. Phlpps. The
gentleman protested :
"Yes , and more than handsome. "
"It Is an awful thing , " continued her
grace , "to ask , but really I am at this
moment In Immediate want of such a
u in , and If you could , Mr. Phlpps. "

USE 20,000 BALLS A YEAR.
Big League Clubs Get Away
With That Many Each Season.
Twenty thousand balls are
used annually by the major
league clubs during the training
trips and championship cam
paigns. John Arnold Heydler ,
secretary-treasurer of the Na
tional league , reports that last
year the teams In his organiza
tion called on the manufacturers
to furnish them with 800 dozen
spheres. The Cincinnati Reds
used the most balls , and then
came the Plttsburg Pirates , the
Chicago Cubs , the New York
Giants , the Phillies , the Boston
Doves , the Brooklyn Superbas
and the St. Louis Cardinals.
The watchdog of the National
league treasury will not tell
what price the clubs pay for the
official balls , but one closely as
sociated with one of the manu
facturers Insinuates that persons
who guess that a major league
club spends about $1,000 a year
for spheres are not fur out of
the way. Each ball , therefore ,
costs probably 80 cents. The
price of the spheres varies from
year to year.
NEW ACADEMY PROPOSED.
England Wants One Devoted to Litera
ture Mr. Shorter' * Comment.
There Is much discussion at present
in England over the academy of lit
erature which those Interested In lit
erary affairs desire to found. Maurice
Hewlett has written to an English pe
riodical that the business of the selec
tion of members Is to be the worlc of
blmnelf and Douglas Freshfleld.
The difficulty of selecting memben
that would be accepted unanimously
by author and book lovers is mani
fest. The story of Zola Is recalled.
The French author after having been
received In England with considerable
enthusiasm said with regard to the
French academy : "Now I am safe. I
shall drop Into It as easily as a sou
Into a slot. " But M. Zola was never
elected to the academy.
There Is one literary organization 1 *
London which Is doing much practical
and needed work the Royal Literary
fund. "Poverty Is hardest to bear
when it is accompanied by imagina
tion In the victim , " writes Mr. Shorter ,
"and I have known many cases where
the Royal Literary fund committee has
helped struggling authors whose pen
ury must seem almost incredible to
the ordinary literary clubman , or , In
deed , to the Fleet street Journalist. In
the literary life prosperity and merit
have absolutely no kinship. "
The First Pantomime.
The first pantomime Introduced t <
the English stage was "Tavern Bll
Vers" and was by John Weaver. This
was in the year 170U. It wan produce *
nt Drury Lane. The great Instltutor o
pantomime in England was , however
John Rice , who devised this form ol
entertainment In 1717. His first em
jihatlc success was In 1721 , when lu
produced "The Necromancer ; or , Ills
tory of Dr. Faustus. " So successfu
was Rich with his pantomimes tha
flarrlck , Quin and others became ex
'asperated. Rich lived to see panto .
mimes firmly established at Drur ;
Lane and Covent Garden. Ho died li

"FRET NOT THY GIZZARD. "
That's How Dr. Pearsons Has Lived

MILK AS A PRESERVATIVE.
Chemist Announces Remarkable Re-
suits From Skimmed Variety.
That skimmed milk treed of bacteria
la a perfect preservative Is the discov
ery recently announced by Dr. O. Hen
ry Novak of Austin. III. , who has
been n chemist forty years and has
been employed by the United States
| and Austrian governments.
, Basically the theory Is that dipping
articles of food In skimmed milk coats
them with an almost Invisible Him that
absolutely keeps out germs , air or wa
ter and is Indissoluble and Impervious
to acids. The thin film will preserve
fresh meats , eggs , fruit or other edi
bles subject to decomposition without
regard to temperature , according to
the chemist , who Is corroborated bj
other scientists and professional men.
In his laboratory In Austin the other
afternoon Dr. Novak exhibited hang
Ing pieces of beef , a leg of lamb am
i a fish which were subjected to a ball
I In skimmed milk four days previously
The temperature since then had beet
around 0. or 70 , but these articles hni
the appearance and odor of perfectlj
fresh pieces. An egg which had beet
dipped on Jan. 0 , 1001) ) , was opened
Those who saw the egg say it coult
not have been distinguished from an
egg laid the same day.
Dr. Novak says nothing should be
dipped which is not fresh. After germs
uive developed the film Is worse than
useless.

Light and Dark Cigars.
A striking example of the ordinary
smoker's Ignorance on the subject o :
smokes Is the popular superstition thai
a dark looking cigar is stronger than si
lighter colored one. Some strong cigars
have dark wrappers , but the darl
wrapper does not by any means Indl
catc a strong cigar. Dark , gummy to
bacco. if thoroughly cured , Is the mild
est form. Of course If dark tobacco is
not thoroughly cured It will be strong
but so will light tobacco , for that mat
ter. Any cigar man will bet you thai
the dark color Is usually , though noi
0
always , a sign of a ripe , well curet
leaf , which is therefore milder nlui
times out of ten than the lighter huec
leaf But when it is known that ever :
manufacturer makes both dark am
tight cigars and that he uses exactl ;
the same blend of filler In both am
that the wrapper only constitutes i
small fractional part of the cigar it 1

wrapper has little to do with tin

BILLIARDIST'S GREAT NERVE.
Win Qame or Loaa Life , Threat Made
to the Late Jake Schaefer.
Jake Schacfer , the billiard wizard of
a few years ago , who recently died at
Denver , always played a better uphill
game than when he was out In the
lead. One Incident will Illustrate this
and show his wonderful nerve. It nas
In a game Jake played and won In
Eureka , Nov. , under circumstance *
that would put a player with less
nerve clear out of the game.
lie was matched with Tony Kraker.
a well known bllllardlst and after
ward n resident of Los Angeles. This' '
was In 1875. Kraker was , of course.
a much Inferior player , and n news
paper man named Chantz , who knew
this , posted some of hi. * winning
friends about It. They were the typi
cal miners of the day , a rough and
ready lot and ready to bet freely
They covered every dollar put up by
Kraker'a friends , who were mostly
gamblers.
BUI Meellck , a big , burly miner , was
selected as one of the three judges and
the game was on. The miners were
much elated as they saw Schaefer
forgo slowly to the front. But
Schacfer began to lose some of his
accuracy after passing the 300 mark ,
and Kraker took the lead. The game
was 500 points , and Schaefer had 310.
The judges were called on to see that
the miners got fair play , and the sus
picion was aroused that Schaefer had
been bought off to lose. Bill Meellck
was equal to the emergency. Ho
whipped out his big six shooter nnd
spoke these cheerful nnd reassuring
words to Schaefer : "Youngster , yon
have the balls In a good position , and
If there's any more monkey work I'll
blow the top of your head off. You
win this game. "
He looked as If he meant it , and Jake
got busy. It was a squally period , as
the room was full of men representing
opposing factions. A shooting scrape
was In the air. and It all depended on
Jake's accuracy of play. Any other
man would have collapsed under the
strain , but steadily he continued and
never missed until the game ran out ,
a run of 100 polnt-s. He was nil In at
the finish.
Jacob Schaefer was born of German
parentage on Feb. 2. 1853. at Milwau
kee , WIs. . and when only n youngster
attracted attention when playing In
his father's billiard room. He quickly
jumped into the limelight of the bll
Hani world. He earned for himself
when quite young the title of "the
wizard , " and It clung to him through
the remainder of his career.
JOHNSON SURE OF VICTORY.
Negro Champion Says Ho Will Beat
Jeffries In Twenty Rounds.
Jack Johnson , the world's heavy
weight champion pucllist , says that he
will not ullow his giudge against Jim
Jeffries to Interfere with his style of
fighting In his coming battle in Cali
fornia on July -1 for the heavyweight
championship of the world. "Perhaps
you think I'm kidding , " he said re
cently to an Interviewer at Chicago ,
"but what I'm going to say is In dead
earnest. As sure as the sun shines on
us today I expect to knock out Jim
Jeffries within eighteen rounds , or you
may make It twenty to be exact. It
may take a trifle longer than I look
for , but not a minute over twenty , and
that goes.
'I wouldn't be foolish enough to
take a chance and try to rush an op
ponent oft his feet Just because I felt
sore and wanted to beat him up In a
hurry. So don't Imagine that I'm talkIng -
Ing about stopping Jeffries In eighteen
or twenty rounds because of any such
reason. If I thought It was wiser to
make a long drawn out scrap of it I'd
say so.
"In my opinion a great part of a
fighter's success lies in having a pretty
good Idea of what he may expect his
opponent to do , as well as having hi.5
own plans made a bit in advance ,
know that Jeffries flgife'cs on taking
the heart out of me early In the game
lie thinks ho can bull me all over the
ring In the first eight rounds nnd have
me hanging on for dear life , nnd that's
the Idea a good many of his friends
have too. Where do some of these
dopesters get the hunch from tha
I'm a chicken compared to him ?
"It's the truth that never yet since
I passed my novice days In the ring
have I been fully extended. I never
had to bring every pound of punching
power In my muscles Into play , am
I've always had plenty of reserve force
to fall back on If I had needed It. Bu
It happened that I always won with
something considerable to spare.
Therefore I don't think It's boasting
when I say that nobody has ever got a
complete line on what I can do. This
time I mean to let out every link In
my body , and there'll be some aston-
ed faces at the ringside when they sen
me going my full gait.
"Jeffries won't be able to feaze mo
In the opening round , as he hopes to.
When he finds that he hasn't got me
sea ml to death and I am getting back
at him with punch for punch and sev
eral over for good measure he'll get
some discouraged. Then is when I
mean to do some rough mauling my
self. I'll set him the fastest pace ha
was ever up against In his life , and ,
believe me. ho won't be able to stand It.
You often hear folks who think they
know It all say that I lack punching
power. The fact is I've never been
obliged to cut loose with all there's in
me up to date. When I do you'll boar
something drop , and drop heavy. "

A PINLESSHAT.
_
Comet From Paris and li to Baffle
Theater Men Too.
Can you beat a woiiidii ? No sooner
do wo hiive agitation over stlletto-llka
hatpins In Chicago street cars than
along conies a woman with u hut
which doesn't need a pin at all. And
not only that , but to get around those
Inconsiderate theater malingers who
Insist that the women remove their
millinery creations , no matter how
pretty or new or costly , this same wo
man has a hat which wouldn't at
tract the attention of the most zeal-
HIM head usher. I I'M the same hat.
oo.
oo.This
This young woman Is Miss Mary
Ilenii of Kvnnston , 111. The hat she
jrought along with several others
from Paris. Miss ( Menu recently re
turned home after a < dx months' tour
if Europe , not the least Important
stop of which was the millinery mart
of the Kroneh capital.
"No hatpins , and they just can't
require me to remove It In the the
ater , " said Miss Ciloim as she donned
lier treasure. She placed It upon her
lend without the aid of a mirror and
demonstrated the absurdity of any
theater manager requiring the removal
of such a minute thing.
"Yes , 1 purchased It In Paris. It
Is called a theater hat , and. as you
see , It Is made of gold cord with an
nlgrot and Ills closely to the head.
1 never tliought It would cause so
much comment , and I never will visit
Europe again If 1 know that my re
turn will cause 8" much comment.
Ilefore 1 left the steamer In New
York some photographer had taken
my picture , for. although the hat Is to
be worn at the play , 1 just couldn't
wait and Inul to wear It while wo
landed. "
Miss Glenn related how another wo
man objected to her wearing It In a
New York theater.
"She objected. " said the owner , "but
I was not required to remove It. "
NOT A MISER , BUT ALMONER.
Spinster Who Pretended to Be In Pov
erty a Philanthropist Too.
That true philanthropy had In late
years of her life vied with an eccen
tricity for hoarding gold In odd places
about her home developed recently
during the investigation of the affairs
of Miss Elizabeth A. Hays of Burling
ton , N. J. . who died suddenly the oth
er night at the age of eighty-six years ,
supposedly poor , but since found to
have left a $100,000 estate.
Close friends of the aged woman
who were In her confidence except as
to t'lo exteut of her wealth said that
she had given away thousands of dollars
lars In the last twenty years among
needy families In Burlington county.
Miss Hays continued to profess pov
erty before those to whom she openly
gave assistance , and they believed un
til her death that she was actually as
poor as she professed to be and was
making a heroic personal sacrifice tc
aid them.
The old farmhouse has been closely
guarded since n lawyer and heirs the
other day found fifteen different lots
of gold coin and banknotes hidden In
books , cupboards , old boxes , beds and
In many odd places. It Is asserted that
approximately $10,000 in cash was
found , with mortgages for $20.000 and
deeds for $50.000 worth of property.
Neighbors say that search of the
old house since the death of Miss Hays
has revealed an odd assortment of
heirlooms and valuable antiques. They
say that eighteen old spinning wheels
were found covered with dust In the
attic. Several of these are of sollt
mahogany.
Much old mahogany furniture , mos
of it given her by deceased relatives
is stored In the rooms on the HCCOIH
floor of the old house. Many old silk
gowns and a seemingly unlimited sup
ply of rare old laces and embroideries
most of them yellow with age. have
been among the discoveries resulting
from the second search. Old goli
coins and banknotes are said to have
been hidden even among these heir
looms.
It is likely that a fortune will be
gained from the old coins alone. Hun
dreds of these of rare mintage , both
domestic nnd foreign , were found mix
ed in with modern gold eagles and
double eagles State Senator Grlfllth
W. Lewis , president of a local bank
and coin collector and expert , has
been called Into consultation by Exec
utor Branch to pass upon the value o
these old pieces.

Has No Time for Norfolk.
"It Is absolutely out of the ques

Norfolk. The plan is not feasible
nor practicable. We will not make
any change In our train service at
the present time. " F. Walters , gen

west of the Missouri river.
Of course F. Walters , general man

has no grievance against Norfolk.
No , no , no , no , no !
And of course F. Walt rs lias noth

trains shall be run uptown at Nor

The News was assured of all this

running trains uptown would have to

A Storekeeper Says :
" A lady cnmc into my store lately nnd said :
11' I have been using a New Perfection Oil Cook-Stove nil winter
in my apartment. I want one now for my summer home. I think
these oil stoves arc wonderful. If only women knew what a
comfort they are , they would all have
one. 1 spoke about my stove to a lot
of my friends , and they were aston
ished. They thought that there was
smell and smoke from an oil stove , and
that it heated aroom just like any other
stove. I told them of my experience ,
and one after another they got one , and
now , not one of them would give hers
up for five times its cost. ' "
The lady who said this had thought
an oil stove was all right for quickly
heating milk for a baby , or boiling a
kettle of water , or to make coffee
quickly in the morning , but she never
dreamed of using it for difficult or
heavy cooking. Now she knows.

prising that the Northwestern has
attempted to end the matter by this
curt reply. Mr. Walters always has
had a grouch against Norfolk and the
Northwestern Is apparently seeking
to perpetuate the old quarrel started
when the P. , 1C. & M. V. railroad was
built up the Elkhorn valley.
Road Tried to Kill Town.
At that time the railroad tried to
kill Norfolk and move it a mile nnd
n half , so that It would be near the
depot. And it would have killed the
town but for the fact that the Union
Pacific built In and put its depot up
town.
The Northwestern bought the F. E.
road and , refusing to take account of
the fact that u city has grown up
here where a village formerly exist
ed , perpetuates that old quarrel by
declining to even consider a request
from Norfolk and the traveling public
of this territory for an improved ser
vice which has been pronounced feas
ible by just as capable railroad men
as Mr. Walters.
Norfolk isn't entitled to considera
tion at the hands of the Northwestern ,
apparently. The people of this terri
tory well , the people be damned , as
some other railroad otllcial once said.
Walters' Grouch an Old One.
Mr. Walters' grouch is an old one.
He disliked Norfolk the first time he
ever came to town. He's hated it ever
since. He came here some years ago
as assistant general manager. He
stayed in the town about four weeks
and cussed it all the time he was here.
He never came uptown , choosing to
remain In autocratic seclusion at the
Junction. He didn't deem it desirable
to even get acquainted with Norfolk
business men. He didn't care to mix
not with Norfolk.
Tried to Move Headquarters.
And he went further than just cusb-
ng the town. He tried to move the
division headquarters to Fremont.
And he did succeed in moving his own
headquarters to that place !
He failed to get the road to change
the division headquarters because the
road wants its headquarters at Nor
folk.
folk.That's
That's one reason why the North
western olllcial's bluff in a Fremont
paper recently that threat to move
the headquarters was such u joke.
Walters had tried that once and
failed.
Then Walters became general man
ager and the grouch against Norfolk
moved up a peg in officialdom. And
It's stuck there ever since.
Walters Only a Side Issue.
So Norfolk really didn't expect that
Its request to Mr. Walters would beat-
fruit. He's only a side issue in this
campaign for uptown trains. He's just
a water tank that Norfolk stopped at
out of courtesy to his official job and
by request.
The petition which 593 business men
and citizens of Norfolk , Including 150
members of the United Commercial
Travelers , sent to the Northwestern ,
was originally addressed to Marvin
Hughltt. president of the Northwest
ern railroad. It was altered so as to
address Mr. Walters , as a matter of
courtesy to his position.
But nobody expected Mr. Walters
would do anything to benefit Norfolk.
All his official career In this territory
he has been doing what he could to
hurt the town. And he'd like to have
the Northwestern keep right on giving
Norfolk a black eye by running ann \ -
adequate and abbreviated train ser
vice to a depot located a mile and a
half from the town.
On Up to Chicago Now.
Mr. Walters' blunt answer will be
reported to the Commercial club dl
rectors at their meeting Tuesday noon
\nd It Is presumed the directors will
merely go on to Chicago to the met :
ilgher up , with their request. The
mass meeting of the Commercial clut
instructed the directors to use all hon
orable means to get these trains up
town , and the business men of the
town have backed up that Instruction
with a big petition. Norfolk is in earnest -
nest about wanting these trains. The
town wouldn't consider that the Com
mercial club directors had used all
honorable means to get those trains
If they stopped with Mr. Walters , for
nothing was to be expected of him
anyhow.
The committee who made the trip to
see Mr. Walters consisted of George
D. IJuttorlleld , president of the Ne
braska National bank ; A. L. Killian ,
president of the Commercial club , and
L. P. Pasewalk , secretary of the club.
On From Dallas.
The Northwestern railroad will ex
tend Its Norfolk-Dallas line on
through Trlpp county to Carter , S. D. ,
Immediately.
Contracts for building the exten
sion have been let and grading will
begin at once. The work will bo
rushed. Contractors and engineers
will be on the ground this week. The
line will extend west from Dallas
through the new towns of Winner
and Jordan and the terminus will ho
Carter.
This is' the information which
comes to The News from what is be
lieved to be an absolutely authentic
source. It confirms the reports print
ed In this paper last fall that the
Trlpp county extension would be
built in time to haul this summer's
crop.
This announcement will be welcome
news to the thousands of people who
have settled Tripp county. It has
been mighty expensive pioneering out
there with such long freight hauls
over the prairies , ard that territory
will receive news of the coming ex
tension with enthusiasm.
The extension will place that ter
ritory more directly in touch with
Norfolk than ever.
