In a three-room tdnemeni flat, containing five children, a woman of 23, and two men and their wives, Mm. Providence Mascari, a leper who fled from Baltimore when she learned her caae was In an advanced tace, was found today. With her wai o'er eight months old baby. . The woman was found by a policeman, who,-knowing nothing about the nature of her disease,. merely realited that she was 111. He called Dr. TrasR t Bellevue hospital, who after an examination, declared be could not take her to the hospital. He reported the matter to the health board, leaving the case In their hands. The first news of the presence of the leper in New York came yesterday when dispatches from Baltimore said that the woman who is the wife of a fruit dealer, had slipped out of the city and come here for treatment. The Baltimore health board knew of fhe case three weeks ago, but took no action. The actual condition of Mrs. Mascari was not made known by them at first ' Today it was revealed that for three days Mrs. Mascari has been living in the overcrowded tenement flat cared for by the other occupants. ' HIS EFFORT FAILED lngom.ar Cory Could Not Remove B. F. Mason as an Administrator. V- ..i . ...', i ,' h''V '.' ; SBssssasaesssn i FOX MAKES RULING TODAY The effort of Ingomar Cory, a resident of Jackson township, to have B. F. Mason, an attorney of Hagerstown, removed as administrator of the estate of his mother, Mrs. Mary Cory, who died March 12, 1910 at Hot 8prings, Arkansas, was a complete failure, as Judge Fox, before whom the- arguments" of both sides were made, this morning, refused to either Invest the letters of administration in another and entirely disinterested party, or to grant the letters to the' petitioner for the removal of Mr. Mason. It was , alleged in the arguments, that Ingomar Cory and his two sisters, Dora E. Hughes and Mananda C. McCabe, were not on friendly terms and that It was for this reason a change in the administration of their mother's 'estate 'was desired by the petitioner. Judge Pox felt. that Mr. Mason would prove 'entirely satisfactory as official in the estate. III WESTEBII STYLE (American News Service) Belfast. N. Y., April 21. Patrolman Norman Chalker was shot dead last night and Bruce Qleason, proprietor of the . Grand Central hotel, fatally : wounded In a fierce gun fight that was engaged in In front of Michael Deciros's saloon alongside the ' Pennsylvania railroad tracks. Gleason Is at the Buffalo General hospital and his death Is expected at any minute. The trouble started in the bar room of the Peclros notel and this was carried to the street. Patrolman Chalker1 , requested the quarreling men to go home. His requests were met with a fusillade of bullets. At least ten shots were .fired. There are several suspects being held by the police until a further Investigation can be made into the case. 110 POLICE COURT For the first time in many weeks there was no police court this morning. There was not even a common drunk to' break the monotony, and Mayor Zimmerman was very much surprised when notified that his presence would not be needed. The quiet change comes as a pleasant relief to the officers who have spent a strenuous existence In the past two weeks.

. f American News Service) f Rowardennan, Cal., April 21.(Jeffrles Training Camp.) Is Jeffries becoming tractable? That is the question which Is being asked around Camp Rowardennan. Heretofore the big fellow has done Just what he pleased, as he pleased and when' he pleased. During the past three days he planned to do a lot of work, but was talked out of It as easily as though there was not a stubborn bone In his body. "You have been working too hard and need a rest," said Berger. "You don't realize how much you have done and how badly you are in need of a lay-off. You better go back and tear off a few more yards of slumber this morning." .. ' Berger's advice was given, in response to a request that he don the gloves for a three round work-out. Much to the surprise of everybody Jeffries agreed that his manager was right and made a quick getaway to his open-air -cot ton the club house veranda. Berger's diplomacy has won a miniber of battles during the past few days and now camp followers are wondering whether he is more of an adept NATIONAL LEAGUE.

at spreading the salve than managres who have preceded him, or whether Jeffries is. really becoming more docile. While Berger is anxious to have the former champion take things easy for the next ten days, there will probably be a different story to tell ; when Choynski puts In an appearance and when Billy Papke starts to hit the high places. Papke has been taking only f the mildest kind of exercise since he hit camp but he has announced his intention of starting real training next week. - Those who .know Jeffries do not expect him to. sit idly by and sec any one else in camp turning out hard work without taking a hand himself. Jeffries, who seldom mentions bin coming battle with Johnson surprised his trainers this morning by .remarking:"-' ' . 'Well, it's ten weeks before the fight. Seems like a long time to train for a fight, don't it?" "That's Just what I've been trying to tell you," chimed In Berger. "That is the very reason I want you to take things easy, for a while. You are already well advanced In your training and too much of it is liable to send you stale." , PAH HANDLES Will The Pan Handles took a fall out of the leaders In the first game of the series at the City Bowling alley last evening, but the Entre Nous team took a brace after that and won the two succeeding games without difficulty. It looks like the Entre Nous team practically ' has the pennant cinched. Runge hit the high place by rolling a score of 217, being closely followed by. Lahrman who smashed the pins for 216. Dr? Markley and Dr. Foster also chalked up scores .above the 200 mark, the former's being 211 and the letter's 207. Dr. Markley played the most consistent game with an average score of 189. The scores of the two teams were as follows: Entre Nous 802, 913, 913; Pan Handles 864, 760, 773. y A GREWS0ME PRISON. The Famous - and Terrible RussianFortress of 8chltieslburg. In the middle of the, river Nevu. where it flows out of Lake Ladoga, there lies a tiny island surrounded on three sides by the mighty, turbulent waters of the river aud hemmed in upon the fourth by the cold and stormy lake. Upon this island stands a very ancient fortress inclosed by high walls more than twenty feet in thickness. This is the Fortress of Schluesselburg. Day and night sentinels relieved erery two hours pace around the top of these walls, keeping a vigilant lookout ou every band. No one from within the fortress, not even the soldiers or gendarmes, is allowed to commnnlcate with the people who dwell upon the banks of the river. If the unwary fisherman chances to drift in his boat too near to the wails of the fortress he is greeted by the shout of a sentinel, aiming his rifle: "Away, or 1 shoot r, Not even the Dead sea In the deserts of Asia is so utterly isolated and cut off from the living world as is this Fortress of Schluesselburg. which lies within forty miles of St. Petersburg. They are very ancient ; the high walls of the fortress. In many places they are cracked from old age. and In the cracks little trees have taken root. The lower part of the wall has gradually become covered with thick dark moss. Just as the face of a very old man becomes covered sll over with hair. ' They look sullen and ominously silent as if they hid ark and grewsome secrets. And.' In truth. In the whole world there are no other walla that hare witnessed so many and such terrible human tragedies as the Fortress of Schluesselburg. David Sos klce In McCtqre's Magaxlne.

STORIES OF THE DIAMOND. Jack Doyle Says Old Orioles Were Greatest Bsll Team.
FULLED- OFF tttHY SJU3TS. Tricks and Schemes of Baltimore Club Way Back In Nineties Woultf Almost Fill Book How Single Was Forced Into Home Run. " No. III. By JACK DOYLE. Copyright, 1910. by American Pres Atso- - , elation. Every now and Uien one will read of or see a daring, seusutiouul or brainy piece of . headwork pulled off ou the diamond. To the average fan this or that stunt may appear wonderful, but to the player hiniKuif it is only part. of his work. I do not waut to be egotistical, but it is a fact Whcu 1 was a member of the old Baltimore Orioles I managed to pull off many clever stunts aud helped engineer several sensational plays which were very successful aud thought nothing of it It was part of lny daily work. I've always said and still think that the old Baltimore team was the brainiest aggregation of ball tossers ever brought together. The tricks uud schemes they worked successfully ou the diamond would come pretty near filling a book. " For instance, here is one they pulled off and what I consider the greatest I ever saw. It Wu made by Willie Keeierand Johnny McGraw in a game with Wushingtou away back in the nineties. lulike most plays, this wasn't a fieldTHj? jstuut, but a piece' of base running. Yyillie was on first and McGraw at the bh. The latter shot a neat single into leffeld, and Al Solbach, loafed a bit onHt seeing that vKeeler was sore to make, third with ease, but expecting him t pull up there. Willie instead ot pHng up went full steam ahead for borne plate, and before Bill Joyce had receivedVthe ball was isirtually over the plate. 5cGraw never stopped at first but kep on to- second to draw a throw that would enable Keeler to score. McGraw recognized Selbach's loaf, , and like a flash he guessed that Keeler was going home. He never hesitated at second, but dashed for third, arriving just as Joyce was gathering in Selbach's throw out of the grass. Here McGraw did some very quick thinking. He remembered that Joyce had a bad arm and thought that the catcher would not be expecting a throw. Without pulling up at third at all he scooted for the plate. His quick thinking turned out to be right. The dust from Keeler's slide, was Just lifting as McGraw dived for the home plate and beat In the ' throw with a close decision. A There two runs scored on what should have been only a single, though the scorer had to give McGraw credit for a home run, .This is just a sample of what won three, pennants for Baltimore. . " v Recently a' manager of a prominent club in the American league was quoted as saying that he had a long list of code signals that could not be beat. This fellow's ideas are all "wrong. No team should have a long list of signals. It Is not always the ball club with the most signals that wins games. - The old Baltimore club, of Which I was a member for several seasons, had very few signals, and what they did have were very simple ones at that ; Still, the team managed to win three banners in a row and came very near capturing the fourth. Here is another Instance. When Jimmy Collins managed the Bostoij Americans a'nd won three flags no signs were used at all excepting, of course, those necessary between the two ends of the batteries. The most complicated system of baseball, while theoretically astounding, has never been a practical success. , i A short time ago I had quite a little chat with Amos Busle, the famous old New York pitcher. Amos is now a hardworking lumberman in : Muncle, Ind., and not a pearl diver at $1.50 a day, as has been reported many times, and the big fellow is contented with his environments. In his day Rusie was the greatest twirler doing slab duty. He had everything that a twirler needed control, speed and good curve and well I know it, for I caught him in many games. IH never forget my first trip with Rnsle on the road. The- members of the team told him that every trip they made on a Pullman a number of pairs of shoes were stolen. They said s that suspicion pointed to the porter, and Amos was asked to sit up and watch for the midnight raider. Rusie selected a seat in the smoker prepared to do detective dutr and a little bouncing duty on ths side. He dosed off after awhile and wasn't awakened until about 3 lathe morning, when the porter walked Into the smoker with several pairs of shoes that he intended shining in order to get a morning tip. Rusie at once decided that he had found his victim and jumped from his seat and grabbed the porter. In less than three minntes be had the colored naa In worse condition than Wolgast had Nelson. , The porter spent a week or so la the hospital as a result of the mixup, and It cost the New York club several htuv drcd dollars to square things. MISS SOLLERS WEIIT Miss li. B. Sollers, of the Reid Memorial hospital went to Terre Haute, IndL, last evening for the purpose of attending the semi-annual convention of the Indiana Nurses-Association, of which organisation she Is nresident The convention was In session today and will Bold until Pridar erenlnr. The association was formed in 1903 and Miss Sollers was made president last year.

Some years ago. when St Louis was wide. open. Pat. Sheedy, king of gambiers,' was sitting in the corridor i of the Planters hotel with a friend. Tvo strangers took seats alongside o( Sheedy and very shortly turned tbe conversation to poker hands. They had never seen Sheedy before and did not know, him, but he looked the part of a prosperous "sport" and at the same time appeared like "easy money." ' "It's too bad." one of the strangers said, "that we haven't another man here. We might get up a little game of draw poker." "Wouldn't mind sitting In myself," said Sheedy, with . a nudge to his friend. "I haven't played poker .for Home time."" . "Suppose we play a little showdown $1 or $5 limit?" one of the strangers said. " . "I'm agreeable," Sheedy replied, "and I guess my friend is. Make It a five dollar limit for an hour or two." . Introductions under fictitious names on both sides followed, and the four men went to Sbeedy's suit On tbe cut for the first deal the speaking stranger received the bqnor. The way he handled the cards showed that he was used to that careless abandon method that can only come - from years of practice by a professional gambler. . Tbe suspicions of Sheedy and his friend were verified by tbe first hand shown. Sheedy received three kings, his friend a small full house, tbe dealer's friend a pair of tens and the dealer an ace fulL The betting was very light on the part of Sheedy and his -friend. - . , ' The next deal was Sbeedy's. He took a long while arranging the cards. When they were dealt every one in the party had fours. Sbeedy's hand, of course, being tbe highest Tbe betting was fast and when the hands were shown the speaking gambler suddenly remembered 0 long distance telephone call for himself and friend was awaiting them. They departed hurriedly, and Pat Sheedy. turning to his friend, said: . My" boy, it's been twenty years since I had to do that for a living." F. JUmis Post-Dispatch.
