THE SUNDAY EXPRESS-

Tin: SUNDAY EXPRESS will contain the views of many leading actors and act­

and many other interesting features in addition to the full report of local and

If all reports are true some of the ball players don't intend to be left out of a jab next season. They are signing every contract presented to them.

Mr. Calvin Brice and Mr. John 11. Thomas, the two millionaire candidates for I'nited States senator in Ohio, are racing through the state to "see" ail the Democratic members of the legislature. At present liee is leading, Thomas seemingly performing a service like Father John, the running horse, performs for Axtell. In other words Thomas is crowding Brice just close enough to cause him to pay a big price to get there ahead.

The consensus of the best opinion at Washington is that Mr. Kaed, of Maine, who has been in the lead for the speakership, is losing ground, and that Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, is doing the most elTecttive canvassing of any of the candidateF. The West will undoubtedly choose the speaker, and the real contest will be between Mr. Cannon and Mr. McKinley, of Ohio. The latter is an able man, but is somewhat of an extremist on the tariff question, which gives Mr Cannon an ad vantage.

The Indiana man is coming to the front everywhere, lie largely predominated in the new states. A returned Oklahoma boomer says he is in charge of the press and the public affairs in that territory, and the report from the na tional prison association meeting at Nashville is that several citi/.ans of the state distinguished themselves there. And now an Indiana man captures the postollice plum at Kansas City. Dr. Xofsinger, formerly of Montgomery and I'arke counties has been chosen as against one who had all the party backing of that part of Missouri. True his residence in Montgomery and I'.irko should be enough to carry him through to success in any undertaking, bat the truth of history compels us to say that he was an Indiannpitolian before he moved to Kansas City.

SAMSON AGAIN VANQUISHED.

Samson, the self-etyled "strongest man on £artb," whose pupil, Cyclops, was recently defeated by a GermaD, Eugen Sandow, in an impromptu contest of strength that followed a challenge to the audience in the London aquarium where Samson was giving exhibitions, tried conclusions himself with the victor, in a more formal contest a few evening later, in the

SBme

place. Samson wagered

Sandow t'500 that the latter could not duplicate the feata that the former would perform. For some days all London

After some delay his rival appeared. The young German was clad in evening dress, and stood in one corner siient and motionless, the personification of calm, confident, herculean strength. Captain Molesworth, chairman of the aquarium company, announced that the judges who had been selected, and who had consented to act, were the marquis of ijueeusberry and Lord De Chfi'orcj.

Sameon had his choice of "tricks." He produced a number of iron rode, varying in thickness from five-eighths of an inch to an inch. Throwing them down on the stage with a bang, he intimated that he intended to bend one by striking it on his chest, straighten it by striking it on his arm, bend it once more across his right leg, straighten it again ou his arm, and tiually bend it with his teeth. Samson selected the thinnest rod, bentit, striking it six times over his chest, and straightened it by the same number of blows on his forearm, lie then proceeded to bend it by striking it on his right leg. but after two or three blows the rod broke in two. There were cries that this was done on purpose that Sandow might not be able to do it with the same piece of iron, but the rival hiniEelf diet uo', judging from his demeanor, participate in this opinion. Culmly he stood in his corner, while his friends in the audience were shouting advice at h:m. Taking a rod of the same size and shape, he also bent it by blows over his chest. He next proceeded to straighten it on his arm, but he had much more trouble in this thara had Samson, not on account of any lack of strength, but because, unlike his opponent, he had no gloves on, and the rod kept continually slipping in his hand. Sometimes the blow fell exactly where it was not wanted, bending it more, instead of obliterating the curve. But he kept hammering on undauntedly. At last a gentleman on the stage took oil' his kid glove and gave it to Sandow, who nut it on and soon completed bis "trick." He also bent it on hie right leg, and straightened iL again on his left arm. Samson did not complete the feat, as promised, Ly bending the rod in his teeth, and Sandow did not attempt the thingeitlier. This was the end of "trick" one. "Trick" two was of precisely the same character, only it was done with a rod slightly longer and thicker. Samson bent it over the chest, arm and leg, and straightened it again. Sandow did exactly the same, although it was quite plain that he had not acquired the knack of holding the rod so adroitly as Samson. He staightened it, nevertheless. When he laid it down his rival declared that it was not quit9 accomplished. Sandow said nothing, but gave the rod another thwack over his arm. and held it up to the audience to show them that it was as straight as a ruler.

Samson for "trick" three produced a leather belt, said to consist of seven plies, which he Btated he intended to burst by the expansion of his chest. The judges decided that as this was uot part of bis usual performance, Sandow was not to be asked to do it. "Trick" four consisted of bursting a wire rope by expanding the lungs. Samson produced two, which ho said consisted of thirty strands of wire, intiomtiug at the same time that he selected this number because he "did not vant to make it so hard for these gentleman." The judges selected one, and ordered Samson to begin. He twisted it tightly round his chest, and after two trials broke it, six or eight inches from the end. The same rope was handed to Suudow. In this feat the whole Brt consists in the twisting. Six inches make a great. difference in this respect. In vain did Sandow endeavor to get the proper twist. He could not secure the proper grip, and every time ho inliated hia chest the twist gave way. Samson was jubilant. "He cannot do it, he not do it," he appealed to the judges. Sandow said nothing, but exerted himself the moro to get the twist on. The sly look which he occasionally gave at Samson almost tempted one to believe that he was delaying the operation wilfully to make the denouement the more striking. At any rate, just as Ssruson was running across to the judges shouting "He can not do it I claim the trick," be heaved his chest, there was a crack and the iron rope fell broken.

For "trick" live, Samson produced two champagce bottles. The trick consists of taking hold of the bottle by the neck, holding it out at arm's length, and while keeping the arm perfectly rigid work the bottle upwards by the mere muscular action of the tingers and thumb until it is made to stand on the palm of the hand. Not by the greatest stretch of imagination can it be called a feat cf strength. The judges decided that Sandow came to perform feats of strength, and he need not trouble about this performance.

Then came the great chain feat for

trick" six. Samson produced half a dozen chain bracelets, the feat being to break them by the expansion of the muscles of his arme. He wished Sandow to break some of those which he produced out of his box, but

Sandow could not get

them over his elbow iint. Samson would not proceed. Suddenly Sandow pulled out ~c his pocket three chain bracelets and put them on. Samson shouted that he would not have this. Captain Molesworth Baid the material of all tbe chains was exactly th*$ same, and read the

following

WEB

talking about it. The demand for seats became so great that the theater could have been filled three times over. Tickets were at a premium, and a private box could not be had for any money. Fifty policemen were required to keep back the crowd from the doors. Every inch of room was occupied, among the audience being several ladies, two or three noblemen of sporting proclivities, and many gentlemen well known in financial and athletic circles. Punctually at twenty minutes before ten o'clock the curtain was raised. Samson walked on the stage, clad in orange-col-ored tights, wearing on th breast a black velvet band, covered with medals and ornaments, smiling proudly and defiantly, but showing now and again en unwonted degree of nervousnesn The spectators gave him aB. encouraging cheer as he stalked forward to the footlights. "Ladies and gentlemen," he began, speaking in broken Kaglish, "I have traveled these nine years under the name of C. A. Samson, the strongest man on earth. To day, if a man likes to compete against me and wins, he can take my name, and I will leave London. I want fair play. I am a stranger in this country. I challenge any man 1*100 to i'oOO if he will come forward and do the feats that I do tonight. I care not what his name is. Mr. Sandow should be here by this time. A few words^jmore. If I win, I do not want his mon^yT I give it to an hospital any hospital." The audience were charmed with this bold speech, and cheered again as Samson walked from end to end of the stage with folded arms.

certificate which came

with Sandow'c, "One dozen yards of jack chain, some us supplied to Mr. Sam- or Royal aquarium. Bought of Addif, Leicester street." Sandow had no difficulty in breaking hie bracelets, one with tbe left arm and two at once with the right. Samson did the same with his. He then rushed to the wings, .got bold of another bracelet and dashing it on the stage shouted, "I vil gif this van thousand pounds

if

he break that

bracelet and I vilt break it too." Samson however did not attempt to burst it neither did Sandow and the circular piece of chain lay neglected on the boards until its owner picked it up and tossed it behind the scenes. "Trick" 7 consisted of breaking a link of chain by pulling it asunder with hie hands. Samson insisted upon a particular chain, while Sandow produced one of hia own. Samson, seizing one of his chains, commenced to pull with^ might and main at one of tbe links and broke it. "Never in his life," cried he, "can that man perform that feat." The wrangling on the stage continued with more riolence. It ended by Samson shouting, "I vil not go any more," and he throw aside his chains. Captain Molesworth stepped forward and said: "The judges have decided that as Mr. Samson will not give the lead, Mr. Sandow will perform some tricks of his own."

Co-Operative Housekeeping.

"There is a man up-town," 6aid another man yesterday, "who has unique idea about co operative housekeeping. He has been going through some prettydeep waters lately with his servant experiences, and tl is has probably induced him to give the matter some thought. He proposes that some capitalist shall build a block of residences in the form of a hollow fquare, in the interior court of which ie to be located the common kitchen. Small tracks connect this kitchen with the dining-room of each residence, anel hampers, properly fitted to hold entire meals, are run upon them. The cooking for the entire block is to be done in the general kitchen by a corps of competent cookp, under a commissariat or steward. At the house desired by the householder the meal is packed in its hamper and instantly conveyed to his dining-room, whence it is served as if from hia private kitchen. Oae servant, either man or woman, would thus suffice for every family, as only the routine duties of keeping the house in order and wnitinc at table would be necessary.— [New York Sun.
