Several of his splendid masses and dillieult round-the-table shot3 brought rounds of applaus?. After that Schaefer's playing fell off. Slosson. who meanwhile had counted only 113, befian to improve, and while Schaefer was doing almost nothing Slosson steadily increased his string, until in the twentyfourth inning the score stood: Schaefer, 523; Slo.-son, 437.

IJy beautiful position playing he brought the balls together at the lower end of the table and reiicd oft 45 points, missing on a simple draw. Slosson missed his next two shots, while Scha?ter scored 16. When Schaefer came up in the twenty-eighth inning the balls were in splendid position, and, getting the anchor, he rapidly clicked off 9 :oints, drove the red ball across the table and began again. Finally, as he worked the balls towards the center of the table, playing with great rapidity and keeping them together with marvelous skill, the spectators realized that the game was won and rose to give the "Wizard" a lusty cheer as the sixtieth point was made, after two hours and a half of continuous play.

The building is located on Canal street, and is about 100 by 123 feet in area, extending back to the Pennsylvania Company's tracks.

Two of the employes were badly burned and seriously cut In making their escaie through a window. They aT: William Snooks, burned and injured Internally, nnd Fred Smith, burned and badly cut..

Dr. Johnson Finds that 1'roKrenn Is Xot All That Could lie Wished. Book Review In New York Tribune. It is on the sublect of missions that Dr. Johnston's booK is most emphatic. The purpose of this journey was to make a test of educated colored men from Jamaica as mission workers in Africa. The experiment, as far as he carried it, was, in his view, highly successful. It led him to scrutinize, carcfuly the religious work In Africa. He did not nnd that this corresponded accurately with many of the reports sent back to Christendom. Indeed, ne tells of one case where the missionary wrote the truth and then was obliged to give a more glowing narrative, the latter bein:: the one made public, in spite of his protest. not her, less conscientious, made mdte a refutation for the number cf his native converts until it was found that he baptized persons whom he had never seen. The indifference of the natives to religious teaching is the obstacle which missionaries find Impossible to overcome in Africa, The author adds: Th?re is no dilliculty in getting people who come round the station during the week to listen, even wttn apparent interest, for hours together, to spiritual counsel; but It would bi a mistake to conclude that their assent and nods of approval are sincere. One young missionary, In his Innocence and zeal, was so delighted with the long conversations ne was having dally with three men i-osing as inquirers that it formed the subject, meanwhile, of a very interesting letter he was writing to friends at home, lint near the end of the week the trio. lingering round the door to a later hour than usual, were a-ked why they waited. The answer was prompt: "We are waiting for five days pay." "Pay for what":" queried the astonished missionary. "Well, now. Dli you think we were coming here every day to listen to you for nothing?" Thus the illusion was rudely dispelled, and, like an honest man, he tore up' the interesting letter. Others have had similar experiences in attempting to get lads to attend school. They expect the same pay for "working book" as for any othrrr form of labor. . Dr. Johnston insists that the ?ood done by the missionaries Is of a kind tt-e results of which must b long awaited. They are laying the foundation broad and deep for the future. Hut he evidently disvrusts every narrative of present phenomenal succeed, and he finds that the missions which are doing the most good are not the ones most famous In Kurcpe nnd America. In general he seems to have taken pains to make his studies of lii'e in Africa very practical during his journey of eighteen montns. Almost invariably h'.s statements are found to lack that glow of enthusiasm so common r.ow in regard to Africa. He gives evidence for doubting the agricultural future ever, of these regions most highly pral3?d. He does not hesitate to ussert his ov.-n impartially, nnd intimates that he could afTord to tell the exact truth, since he himself pal 1 all he expenses of his expedition.

From the Milwaukee end of the line it was learned that the "Professor" had talked to a lady whom he knew, and she. hoiding the hanas of the subjects, acted as a transmitter of the wonderful power. Spectators who saw the mysterious workings of the combination wanted to have it tried on them, but the Professor objected.

"Pndd'nliend. AVlUon" Rends n. Hand ivllh Jtemnrknble Results. Mark Twain, In the Centrry. "Put look here. Dave," said Tom, "you used to tell people's fortunes, too, when you tcok their finger marks. Why, he'll read your wrinkles as easy as a book, and not only tell you fifty or sixty things that's poing to happen to you. but fifty or. sixty things that ain't. Come, Dave, show the gentleman what an Inspired Jack-at-all-science we've got in this town, and don't know it." Wilson winced under this nagging and not very courteous chaff, and the twins . suffered with him and for him. They rightly judged, now, that the best way to relieve him would be to take the. thing in earnest and treat it with respect, ignoring Ttm'3 rather overdone raillery; so Luigi said: "We have feen something of palmistry in our wanderings, and know very well what astonishing things it can do. If it isn't a science, and one of the greatest of them, too, I don't know what its other name ouht to be. In the Orient" Tom looked surprised and incredulous. He said: "That juggling a science? But really, you ain't sericus, are you?" "Yes, entirely so. Four years ago we had cur hands read out to us as if our palms had been covered with print." ' "Well, do you mean to tay there was actually anything ia it?" asked Tom, his Incredulity beginning to weaktn a little. "There was this much in it," said Angelo: "what was told us of our characters was mlnutelv exat v.e could not have bettered it ourselves. Next, two or three memorable things that had happened to us were laid bare things which no one present but ourselves could have known about." "I haven't examined half, a dozen hands In the last half dozen years; you see, the people got to iekingibout It, and I stopped to let the talk die down. I'll tell you what we'll do, Count Euigi; I'll make a try at your past, and if I liave any success thereno. on the whole, I'll let the future alone; tnat's renllv the affair of an expert." He took Lulgi's hand. Tom said: "Wait don't look yet, Dave. Count Eulgi, hero's paper and pencil. Set down that thing that you said was the most striking one that was foretold to you and happened less than a year afterward, and give it to me so I can sec if Dave finds it in your hand." Lulgi wrote a line privately, and folded up the pice of paper and handed it to Tom, saying: "til tell you when to look at it If he finds it." Wilson began to study Luigl's palm, tracing life lines, heart lines, head lines, and so on, and noticing carefully their relations with the cobweb of liner and more delicate marks and lines that enmeshed them on all sides; he felt of the fleshycushion at the base of the thumb, and noted its shape; he felt of the Meshy side of the hand between the wrist and the base of the little finger, and noted Its shape also; he painstakingly examined the fingers, observing their form, proportions, and natural manner of disposing themselves when In repose. All this process was watched by the three spectators with absorbing interest, their heads bent together over Euigi s palm, and nobody disturbing the stillness with a word. Wilson now entered upon a close survey of the palm again, and his revelations began. He mapped outJubri's character and disposition, his tastes, aversions, proclivities, ambitions, and eccentricities in a way which sometimes made Eulgi wine and the others laugh, but both twins declared that the chart was artistically drawn and was correct. Next, Wilson took up Lulgi's history. He proceeded cautiously and with hesitation, now, moving his finger slowly along the great lines of the palm, and now and then halting It at a "star" or some such landmark, and examining that neighborhood minutely. He proclaimed one or two events, Lulgl confirmed his correctness, and the search went on. Presently Wilson glanced up with a surpirsed expression: "Here is record cf an incident which you would perhaps not wish me to" "Ering it out," said Lulgi, good naturedly. "I promise you it shan't embarrass me." Put Wilson still hesitated and did not seem quite to know what to do. Then he said: "I think it is too delicate a matter to to I believe I would rather write it or whisper it to you and let you decide for yourself whether you want it talked out or not." "That will answer," said Euigl; "write It Wilson wrote something on a slip of paper and handed It to Lulgl, who read it to himself and said to Tom: "Unfold your slip and read it, Mr. Driscoll." Tom read: "It was prophesied that I would kill a man. It came true before the year was out." Tom added: "Great Scott!" Lulgl handed Wilson's paper to Tom and said: "Now read this one." Tom read: "You have killed some one, but whether man, woman or child I do not make out." "Caesar's ghost," commented Tom, with astonishment. "It beats anything that was ever heard of. Why, a man's own hand is his deadliest enemy. Just think of tht a man's own hand keeps a record cf the deepest and fatalest secrets of fils life, and Is treacherously ready to expose him to any black magic stranger that comes along. Hut what do you let a person look at your hand for, with that awful thing printed in it?" "Oh," said Lidgi, reposefully, "I don't mind it. I killed the man for good reasons, and I don't regret It" "What wero the reasons?" "Well, he needed killing." "I'll tell you why he did It. since he won't say himself," said Angelo, warmly. "He did it to save my life, that's what he did it for. So it was a noble act, and not a thing to be hid In the dark." MMK. HADING TALKS. Onr Women Drexs Iletter Than ParisInns, but Are More Extravagant. New York Herald. I had the pleasure of passing an hour with Mme. Jane Hading yesterday morning in her pretty boudoir at the Hotel Vendome, during which time the actress expressed her views on America and American women in the most naive and charming manner. "Ah," she said. l look upon your American women with wonder and admiration. I find them far alxve the men; their avoir faire, or what you call 'tact,' astonishes me. I believe Am rican women are equal to anything, and seem never to lose their head. "Hut I see no women here who seem to work cr who represent the necessity of work. They all seem to be rich ladies. American women dress far better .than Parisan women, but I think them very extravagant. A French woman will make a dollar go three tim.s as, far as an American. I fear the ladies who visit Paris from this country have taught the Parisian, women very extravagant habits; they have spoiled our modistes by paying them such large prices for their gowns, i Willi:. io asK you something. I heard last night that a lady in town had just paid her dressmaker $500 for a gown. Do you think It is true?" When I assured Mme. Hading that that wa3 not considered a large price for a dressmaker to charge for an elegant dress her astonishment knew no bounds. She said: "If any one In Paris paid $200 for ever so handsome a costume it was considered a wonderful thln. "1 am ho charmed," said Mme. Hading, "with the freedom of women in this country'. They go about everywhere unattended and are treated with such respect and courtesy. Ah, In my country women have not the standing they have here. I wish they had." "Madame," said I, "why do j-ou cot speak more English? Your English is exceedlngrly well spoken and pronounced.' "Ah," she quickly replied, "je n'ai pas 1 temps it takes so lontr." "MS name !s the only English I spenk. My grandfather was an Englishman, my father was born in France. I have found American women speak French exceedingly well." "Are you fond of housekeeping?"

Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report

ABSOl POSSIBLY 1)0,000,000 Sii(?li Is the Estimate of London's Population for the Year 1911. Some Interesting Figures from County Council lied Book on the Stupendous Iiritish Metropolis. James W. Altken's London Letter In Phil adelphia Telegraph. I hav Just hail an opportunity of looking through the annual Red Pool: of the body which U known as the London county Council, and it 'seems to me that some slight survey of the particulars contained therein will not be altogether devoid of in-, terest to those who take part in the local government of a city like your own, which. large as It is, cannot as yet attain to the dimensions of the English giant, which Is certainly without a rival so far as mighty figures are concerned. And first as to population. Is Iondon still growing at the old rate, or lias its rate of progress received a check? According to the official returns of the register-general the rate cf Increase In the decennial periods prior to 1S91 had varied from 15 to 21 per cent., but In 1S31 this rate fell as low as 10 per cent. "Does this mean," asked the chairman of the committee which Is responsible for the report, "that London has reached the turning point, and that in a few years the increase. will become a decrease?" The committee are evidently satisfied that there is no occasion for any fear on this point. The rate of Increase within Jie ordinarily recognized limits of the metropolis may, indeed, have experienced a relapse, but the reason for this is to be found in the fact, patent to all who know their London, that as year succeeds year the enterprising builder snaps up every available piece of building land to such an extent that very few are now left, with the natural result that the work of extension has had to be taken further afield. Let me give you one instance from South London of the manner in which the brick and mortar merchants have helped the growth of London. Pt the year 1S61 the Iopulatlon of Battersea I dare say you have heard the name before in connection with Its representative in Parliament was about 23,000. In 1S71 this had grown to 57,(M); ten years later the return showed 107,000: at the census of 1891 there were 133.mj; and at this moment there are some IGO.000 inhabitants In the place of little more than one-eighth of that total thirty-two years ago. This has been due to the pertinacity with which the busy builder has snapped up every available foot of land on which he could pursue his vocation. Fifteen years ago Mr. Tom Taylor, the author of "The Ticket-of-Leave Man," had a prettily situated residence near Clapliam Common, surrounded by park-like meadows in which cattle grazed and sheep browsed. That estate Is now covered by a block of small house property, with a "garden" to each house hardly large enough to swing the traditional cat in. Many other estates In the same district have been served in a similar manner. Lord Battersea, who draws $300,000 per annum from the parish, has developed a closely-buUt colony in one part, and. so far as can be seen, there are hardly half a dozen acres of land In the district which can now be disposed of "for building purposes." Tne same can be said of nearly even' parish In London. Houses have been put up In the most reckless profusion and that they all find tenants of a sort is remarkable. Put with the Increased facilities of transit which railway an1 tramway companies provide, many Londoners are migrating to outside districts, and as the field here is comparatively unlimited, the opportunities for extension can only be surmised. As to the future the prophecies contained In the report are simply surprising. But first concerning the present, "CITY" OF LONDON. The population of the city of London consists of S01.3S4 during the 3ay, which drops to 37,896 at night, of the day population 29,520 are employers, and the remainder, 73 per cent, of whom ate men, are employes. The population of the "County of London" is 4,232.118, and of "Greater London," that area which cornea within the metropolitan police control, no less than 5.C33.806. Of open spaces there are 5,449 acres within the limits of the county. Including, of ocure Kpplng Forest and other places, with 3.C25 acres of tidal and water foreshore which make a total of two and oneeighth acres for every 1,000 of the populatlAs to the number of paupers, there were m 1S89 117.139, but in 1892, notwithstanding the' increase In population, this total htul fallen to 112.547. each of whom cost the rate payers 23. lGs 7d for a year's housing and keep. Of board schools there are 407, whlh, added to 513 of the voluntary type, make a total of t22 schools, with an averSce daily attendance of 3S2.5S5. towards whose education London rate payers contribute '805.196 annually, the remainder being made up out of taxes. It costs 1.564.401 to maintain the force C' metropolitan police, who are distinct from those controlling the city proper; and in the year 1S91 the total expenditure on London local government was 10,o47,62. of which 7,929.945 was raised in rates from those who enjoy the privUege of Iv-In-In this province rather than the city. This Is how the money goes: Cltv of London .772,779 London County Council Metropolitan police l,Jw,.o Asylum board SSM School hoard Guardians of the poor 2.22U91 Vestries and local boards -LS3 Overseer Free libraries 32.JV9 Burial boards 6.C.1 Bath and wash houses zyi?,l Church purposes 8,tJ) You will see from these figures that we siend on eduoitlon more than we do oa our county council, and nearly as much as on our guardians and vestries respectively. Add to the C1.S91.913 for the school loard the amount raised by the voluntary school supporters, and you will not be far out in saving that education costs every Londoner .-iir ami Ptt! r?r annum. That is a record of wnlch we can be and arf very proud. Now as to what London will be fifty years hence. Suprslng that we do not add more than the amount per decade, which has been added since 1SS1, the population of London In 1894 will be something like 19.000.CW. If wa allow for a growth at the rate of the natural Increase of births over deaths, there will le nearly ll.009.0o0 In Indon that year. If InJon grows at the average rate of the last three docades, we shall have over H,0-'t,009 at the same time; but If Innpr and outer London go on growing together at the same rats as during the last thirty years, we may look forward to finding in the census returns for 1911 that the population of London is no less than 17,500,000. FIGURRS THAT TAKE YOUR BREATH. Looking at the matter in another way. the figures are more startling still. If Greater London were peopled as densely as arc the inhabitants of Hampstead now. there would be a poulation of 13.000,000. If It reaches the density of Fulham, not one of the most thickly populated parts of London, the total would be 20,0).Oi0; j and if, in course of time, all Greater London werp peopled as thickly as now Is the ; fashionable parish of .St. George's, Ilanover Square, the total would come out nt I Co.oo3.ok: but White Chapel has a density , of population three times that of Sr. George's, Hanover Square. If, therefore. Greater Ixmdon grows into one huge v i4.ie.;iiari": i-" ret-tlit will tie Jo, OA). Ooo of inhabitants, or some 2.ooo.0io more than you have in the whole of the States. These are figures to make people stare, but they are only natural deductions from facts which already exist. One can hardly Imagine Ixmdon one vast warren like whltechapel ia ; now on a smaller oale, but you can't get away from the possibility, and yet London to-day covers 0.2 per cent-, or 1-500 of the ! total area of England and Wales. Of ln- ' habited houses it has lo per cent, and of ! population It has per cent. What would
