Miss Adah Hawkins, sister of Miss Etta Hawkias, who plays
0 inders in -The Lost Paradise," recently seen in this city, waB in
Kansas City last week during the engagement of '.'The Lost Para
dise" company, and it was rather fortunate for the Thursday night
performance at the Ninth street theatre that such was the fact.
Miss Adah is not a professional actress, though she has appeared
with success in amateur performances at her home in St. Paul, and
is now playing one of the twin sisters in "The Wandering Jew." She
lookB very much like her sister, though she is a tritle less tall aud.a
bit rounder in outline. She had seen "The Jjost Paradise so often
that she had unconsciously learned almost the whole play by heart.
Thursday, when Etta Hawkins found that her vocal chords had
gone on a Btriko, so that she couldn't speak above a whisper, Mr.
Morris and Manager Sedley Brown were in dismay, because Cinders
had never been understudied. Then came Adah Hawkins to tho
rescue. 'Til play it," said she, with breezy confidence. "You?"
said Mr. Morris, incredulously, "you've never studied it." "Try me,"
said she, her eyes snapping with the anticipated enjoyment of 'the
experience, for she is a very real sort of a girl, is Miss.Adah Haw
kins. So the stage manager went through the lines.and cues with
her two or three times and she proved that she knew Cinders back
ward and edgewise. At night she played the part as if she had been
born and brought up for tho especial purpose of playing it.

G. Y. Smith will begin in next week's Courier to tell the story
of his trip abroad in the summer of 1892. Mr. Smith is an enter
taining writer, and his narrative which will be continued from wee ii
to wee', will contain much of a personal nature, the writer's id.a .
being to avoid so far as possible the conventional story of travel.
Mr. Smith, it will be remembered, was one of a party of which the
late Frank L. Hathaway, of this city, was also a member, that spent
several months in Europe.
The S, Joe team will bo here Tuesday afternoon.
t

As will be seen from the above official averages of 94 we have a
team that bats at the .338 mtfrk and has a fielding average of .926.
last year the team had a batting average of 274 and a fielding .910.
The averages of Lawrence -364, Pedros -320, McKibben .337,who did
not play all the season are figured in the 94 team. And two of the
pitchers are figured in this average, when only one can get into
each game: As pitchers as a usual thing are not good hitters thiB
pulls the averages down some.
t
Archie Cole our now centre fielder came to the city Monday and
since then has been getting into condition. At practico he covers
plenty of ground and gets many hard hit balls that seems would be
impossible for any one to head off.
t
The professional team will play an exhibiton game with the Clark
son laundry team this afternoon, which will givo the cranks some
"ideauf how the new men handle themselves.
t
Xho City league is a sure go having six very strong amateur clubs
nmely the Clarksoni, Krmballs, Kroners, Her polshei mere, Y. M. C.
A., and East Lincoln.
t
A great many people ask how is the team this year compared
with the one we had last year. There is no better way than
to study the official averages, for instance compare Hollingsworth
with Pequigney and Hill with Hughes.
Dr. P. D. Crim left this week for Hot Springs, N. C, where he
will assume the duties of resident physician at the large sanitarium
owned by the company that has developed Hot Springs, which in a
short time' has become one of the most popular summer resorts of
the south. It is beautifully situated in the Great Smoky mountains
in the most favored section of North Carolina, about thirty-five miles
from Asheville and th great Vanderbilt estate. Dr. Crim in his
several years residence in Lincoln, has easily taken a place in the
front rank of his profession and to accept the offer made to him by the
management of the Springs, he gives up the coronership and an ex.
tensive practice, as well as relinquishing a prominent place in social
and busines circles.

Job Sherman and Aaron Bucket aff are not crazy. They even in
sist that they are not foolish, a contention that some people, who
saw them on the streets this week, are apt to regard lightly. It was
all because Graham was elected. They resurrected a couple of der
bies of the style of 1830 and marched in solemn procession through
Mayor Weir'squiet streets. They commanded attention everywhere.
It will be s.een by the above that Hill played in 17 games more
than Hughes, and had more than double the number of stolen
bases and six less errors. Holly played in 42 games more than Pick
and had four times the number of stolen bases and more than
double the number of chances with only 7 more errors.
t
The first game of the season will be played this afternoon between
the Lincoln and Clarkson Laundry teams. The Clarksons will play
as follows: Will Harkn?ss, catcher; Jno. Cronley, pitcher; Jesse
Cauger, first base; Geo. Kleutsch, second base; Jno. Church, short
stop; Jos. Wallack, third base; Harry Scott, left field; Harry Gilles
pie, center field; Harry Grupe, right field.
t
All the players are expected here by Monday.
t
Clrm Kimerer has a very" sore finger and will not be able to pitch
for some time.
Curiosity as to the identity of the two young men whose visit
behind the scenes at the Lansing on the occasion of the presentation
og Rid's "1492," can be satisfied by the young ladies who acted as
reporters for the women's edition of the Call, and who "Bcooped" the
other papers on this item. 'I hey omitted to give their names out of
the kindness of thier hearts.
