A HAUNTED BALL PLAYER. |

Billy Earle Gets No Work Because He Is Feared as a “Hoodoo.”

< » Chat | — Catcher William Earle arrived dn

Baltimore yesterday and sat on the Bal- tim bench during yesterday's zame. He came here to meet Manager Hail- gan of the St. Louis team in the hope of setting a position.

The case of Billy Earle is a very

strange one, and, to a certain extent, pathetic. Larle, as every one knows, is a good catcher and a good ball player. He isan excellent and intelligent back-

stop, a “xl thrower, hard hitter and good base runner, and by many is con- sidered better than a majoirty of the National league catchers now in har-

ness, and yet he cannot get a position on any ball team in the country, not even the small minor league teams. He is, moreover, a pleasant, intelligent, strictly temperate man.

The reason for it is that some years aco he announced that he was studying hypnotism and ex.rimenting with it. Since then the ball players of any team into which he goes have had a super- stitution that he maj obtain some influ- ence over them or “‘hoodoo’’ them in some way. This foolish fear has caused his release from every team to which he has belonged in years, and no manager will engage him on account of the prej- udice against him among the other play- ers. So widespread is the silly notion that he is a ‘‘hoodoo”’ that a spectator of yesterday's game—not a ball player, either—<leclared when he saw Earle on the Baltimore bench, ‘‘Oh, the Orioles wiil lose, sure; there is Billy Earle.”’ And yet the Orioles won.

Last season when Manager Hanlon needed an extra catcher he did not hesi- tate to get Earle, and, instead of nurs- ing a ‘‘hoodoo,’’ the team won the pen- nant more easily than ever before. To the credit of the Orioles it can be said that they paid no attention to the prej- udice.

In speaking of hew his interest in hypnotism had ruined his prospects as a ball player Catcher Earle said that as soon ashe first discovered that his fellow players got afraid of him he stopped studying it at unce and had not had anything to do with the science for years, but that the prejudice followed him. He said that although he caught and batted well for Pittsburg in 1893 and did most of the catching while Mack and Sugden were on the bench he was suddenly released without any canse. In Louisville he was driven from the team by the prejudice of the players. He found the same thing in Brooklyn, and none of the players would room with him.

Finally one declared he had no fear and would room with Earle, put one night in climbing down from an upper berth in the cabin of a Long Island sound steamer Earle happened to touch the arm of his roommate, who was sleeping beneath. The player, who is now manager of a well known minor league team and was a famous player, jumped up and was so frightened that he accused Earle of trying to work a “‘spell’’ on him, and, despite all that Earle could say, would not stay in the room, but got ug and walked the deck all night.

When playing on the Pacific coast, batters would back wp to the plate when itcame their turu to bat, for fear that if they caught EKarle’s eye he would hypnotize them and prevent their mak- ing a hit. Earle was made manager of the Dallas team and had no end of trou- ble over the foolish prejudice. Finally he gave up in despair.

He says he has gone to managers in the National league who have been bad- ly in need of catchers and offered to work for nothing if his work was not up to a high standard, and still he got no chance. Manager Hanlon had no suc prejudice and came near getting Ear\o for awhile again this season. — Ba).imore Sun.

IT SAYED HER LIFE.

A Glorious Victory Won by Paine’s velery Compound.

Mrs. Neil McKay, of North Hill, P.Q., who for a long season was dangerously ill, declares that her life was eaved by Paine’s Celery Compound. She gives the follow- ing testimony, which is vouched for by a well-known resident of the place:

“= consider it my duty te add my testi- mopial to those who have already received for Paine’s Celery Compound. My case was a@ very peculiar one. Atter dectoring for a long time with different pbysicians who did not understand my case, I gave them up. My strength was all gone, and it was with great difficulty [ managed to move around. I had # pain continually in my left side. Uptoa few years ago I was @ fleshy woman weighed 185 pounds but, from a continually drain on my system, I wasted away to a mere shadow. I have taken seven bottles of Paine’s Celery Compound, and find my self a new woman; I bave no pain now and my etrength is revurning, and Iam becom- ing fleshy again. To Paine’s Celery Compound I owe my recovery, and I can- not speak too highly of it as it saved my life. I write this with great pleasure, and highly recommend Paive’s Celery Com- pound to al! sufferers.”

Mr. J. A. Pennoyer, postmaster, fays: “J am personally acquainted with Mee. Neil McKay, and can vouch for the truth of her statements.”

Novelist and Pugilist.

“J. R. Couper, the South African novelist and champion list, has shot himself,’’ says the Francisco Argonaut. ‘‘He was the son of a re- spectable Edinburgh solicitor, and after graduating from St Andrews universi- ty took to a life of advemture.

French Counterfeits.

The police of Paris recently discover- ed a regularly organized market place for the sale of spurious coins of France. It was extensively patronized by wait- ers, who lay in a supply of the false coins to work them off on tourists. The large stock of false coins seized was found to be of quality superior to that generally uttered by counterfeiters. The idea scemed to be to safely insure amall profits. For instance, a lot of 5 franc pieces were fonnd to have an almost bullion value of 8 francs each. They were sold to the waiter customers for 4 francs each, allowing the dishonest pur- chaser a clear profitof 1lfranc. Few people look closely at a franc piece, and a very bad imitation can be successfully uttered in four cases out of five. Tho average price paid at this exchange for franc picees was 25 centimes, or 24 sents, European continental waiters are past masters in the art of passing coun- terfeit or demonetized coins, foreigners being their victims. —Philadelphia Rec- ord.

“ome Dealers are Seiling Crude and Adulterated Dye Instere of the Diamond Dyes.

While the vast majority of merchants and dealers sell ouly the reliable D)ianiuud Dyes, itis but right to note thai -ume dealers still sell common and deceptive packsge dyes for the sake of extra profit. Of course the profit-loving dealer who sella a woman a package of inferiwr dyes for her work is, without doubt, seeking his own selfish end ~—money~making. Dealers who handie and sell adulterated package dyes do not care a fig about the comfort and welfare of their customers; they take the hard-earned money of families and in return give them dyes that only result in loss and ruin,

When the women of Canada learn a few more #ad lessons that result from the use Of worthless dyes they wil) make it a point to insist upon getting from their dealers the fast and never failing Diamond Dyes that are so easy to use and so true to color.

REACHED FAME AT A BOUND.

How the Famous Dialect Novelist Made His First Hit.

The man who had sprung into sndden prominence in the literary world had grown a trifle reminiscent under the infiuence of a good cigar anda small bottle, and one of the members of the party decided that there could be no better time to get the story of his re- markable success.

‘*I donot recall that any one ever be- came more suddenly famous in the lit- erary world than you,’’ suggested the curious one.

‘*T imagine that I came very close to breaking a record,’’ replied the liturary light.

‘One day you were unknown, and the next day every literary critic in the country was singing your praise and people were standing in line to buy your books,’’ continued the curious one.

‘*Quite true,’’ admitted the literary

ight. ‘‘My reputation was made by a single story, and that story might be called an accident.’’

‘*That’s what I want to get at,’’ ex- plained the curious one. ‘‘I want to hear the story of that story. Where did you get the idea and what impelled you to write it? What was your iuspiza- tion?’’

The literary light laughed and reached for his glass.

‘‘The secret of that story is soon told,’’ he said as soon as the glass was empty. ‘‘ You see, I had a typewriter.’’

‘*Young and pretty?’’ they all broke in.

‘‘Machine, not operator,’’ explained the literary lighs. ‘ Machine was all I could afford at that tim», and I had to get that on the installment plan 1 ran it myself, you know.’’

‘*Well? Go on.”’

**One day I thoughtlessly wert oct without putting the cover on it, and my 65-year-old boy got at it.’’

“‘Couldn’t run it, could he?’’ they asked.

‘**Of course not, but I’d let him help me put the paper in and take it out un- til he had mastered that much of the operation of the machine, and as the click of it pleased him and there was no one there to stop him he hamnuwrudl away at it for about two hours.’’

‘But what has that to do with your

9”?

‘*That was the story,’’ answer the literary light. ‘‘When I saw wat he had done, I gatherred the pages to- gether, numbered them, got up « title and sent the whole thing toa ladiug magazine with a note saying tut it wasa dialect story of a Scotch-v/elsh settlement that got mixed up wiih the Dutch in South Africa, and—well, I haven’t had todoa thing since then except buy typewriters for the boy. He's a little bit rough at times, but so long as he doesn’t smash over one ma- chine a mouth I can affard it.’’—~Chi- cago Post.
