During a thunder shower at YlaeT land, N. J„ a ball of fire cut curiouß capers in the home of Louis Castejlena, on Grant avenue. Five children were seated around the table when the lightning ripped open the tablecloth in several places, cut the linoleum on the floor In several pieces, singed the hair of one child which was on the floor, changed the talcum powder from the box to the shaving mug on the shelf, and put the shaving brush Into the talcum powder box. The framework of the kitchen was splintered in several places, but none of the family felt the slightest shock.

COURT HITS “PEONAGE” IN HOFMAN CASE

“Artie” Hofman, Clever Brooklyn Player.

"Artie” Hofmanwon In Chicago the other day—not at the Federal league park, but In the municipal court. -Asacting manager of the Brooklyn Feds he lost his game, but as “Artie” Hofman, one-time Cub star, he won in court by defeating the Cubs In a lawsuit. Incidentally he went far toward upsetting the whole “economic system” of the National and American leagues. The verdict returned in Judge Dolan's court awarded $2,900.47 to Hofman, the amount claimed fts back pay due from the Cubs for the season UTOTT" —~ “Peonage” was the basis of the victory for Hofman. He told his story of having been “sold” by the Cubs, and of the refusal of the Cubs’ president, Charles Webb Murphy, to make good his contract. Judge Dolan made it clear that the “peonage” which has been the constant source of complaint against the old major leagues, was Illegal. “It is for the jury to determine,” said Judge Dolan, "whether Hofman consented to be sold to, the Pittsburgh team and whether he voluntarily entered into a new contract with Pittsburgh.” - —v;. i And the jury, after Just 19 minutes of deliberation and balloting, der cided that Hofman was entitled to his money.

Though Fred Luderus, first baseman qf the Phillies, has not been hitting up to his usual form this year, he has otherwise done a noble part In the effort to keep the wrecked Phillies In the running. The erratic work of his fellow infielders has made his task unusually hard. They keep him on pins and needles 'with their wild throws and their bobbles, but through

The American league runts have authorized us to issue a challenge in their name, and offer to play the ball game anywhere and at any convenient lime, writes Malcolm MacLean in Chicago Evening Post Captain Ray Schalk of the American league Runts gave us the Une-up of hia team. Both he and Eddie Cicotte, one of the moving spirits in the dub, are wildly enthusiastic over the idea, and are in dead earnest in their desire to stage the contest with a similar team from the Nationals. “Go ahead and issue the challenge,” said Schalk the tallest man of the bunch.

DEATH-WATCH CAT IS HAPPY

Poe-esque Animal, Whose Cries Revealed Master’s Body, Gets New Home at Los Angeles. — Jake, the black cat whose walls led neighbors to the dead body of Frank Hamble of 216 West Sixty-ninth street, Los Angeles, after life had been extinct a week, found a new home. He slept for hours in the sunshine,' apparently unmindful of the harrowing hours-spent shut in the room with the remains of his late master. Neighbors adopted the cat when, almost starved, it was taken Sunday from the little two-room house where Hamble passed the last hours of his life. Jake was almost a skeleton, and great care had bo be taken at first in order not - blm. but, stretched in a' rocking chair, his sides bulging and hla big green eyes closed to mere slits, Jake was the picture of contentment. ' Hamble’s mother, Mrs. F. A. Saunders, offered to care for the sole companion of her son for many months prior to his death, but when she found Jake apparently happy and content to remain with a neighboring family, she left him In his adopted home. Tfoe body of Mr. Hamble was found by"Fafrblihan Johnson after the mournful cries of the cat had aroused the neighborhood to the fact that something was wrong In the little cottage.

Why Have Coroners?

What good is a coroner? This frequently recurring question Is again ? justified by the news that a wound has been found In the skull of Ella Winter, the Baltimore girl whose body was found in Curtis bay a week ago last Thursday. The coroners inquest had dismissed the case with a verdict of death by drowning. Whether the girl was murdered or not the circumstances of her death were snch as to call for careful investigation. The coroner's notion of such an investigation seems to have been characteristic of his tribe. Was she found in the water? Yes. Very well, then she was drowned. At some time, perhaps, we shall become sensible enough to abolish an office which once served a useful purpose, but has become an anachronism.—New York Times.

, HIT THE SPOT. Postum Knocked but Coffee Alta. There’s a good deal of satisfaction and comfort in hitting upon the right thing to rid one of the varied and constant ailments caused by coffee drinking. "Ever since I can remember,” writes an Ind. woman, "my father has been a lover of his coffee, hat the continued use of It so affected his stomach that he could scarcely eat at times. "Mother had coffee-headache and dizziness, and if I drank coffee for breakfast I would taste it all day and usually go to bed with a headache. “One day father brought home a pkg, of Postum recommended by onr grocer. Mother made It according to directions on the box and It just "hit the spot” It has a dark, seal-brown color, changing to golden brown when cream is added, and a snappy taste similar to mild, high-grade coffee, and we found that Its continued use speedily put an end to all onr coffee ills. “That waa at least ten years ago and Postum has, from that day to this, been a standing order of father's grocery bUL , "When I married, my husband was a great coffee drinker, although he admitted that It hurt him. When I mentioned Postum he said he did not like the taste of It. I told him I could make It taste all right He smiled and said, try It The result was a success, he won’t have anything but Postum.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
