ond Brld*" Return*.
Baroness von Gluemer, the fa*
mous "diamond bride" of a half
century ago, lias returned to New
York to live, after having spent
fifty years abroad. During the
greater part of this time she
lived in Cuba. At the time of her
wedding to Don Estraban Santa
Cruz de Oviedo, a wealthy ond
handsome Cubai, who was her
first husband, she was known as
the most beautiful woman in New
York, and her wedding was
spoken of as the most brilliant
1 that New York had ever known
up to that time, which was in 1859.
All these things have been forgot-
ten in the lapse of time, for the
baroness is now 70 years old. Don
Estaban Santa Cruza de Oviedo
was worth about $3,000,000 when
he laid siege to the heart of Miss
Bartlett. That was a lot of mon-
ey in those days. The wedding
took place in the Mott Street ca-
thedral and Archbishop Hughes
performed the ceremony. Thi3
was the first of the long and bril-
liant scries of international mar-
riages to be contracted between
titled foreigners and beautiful
New YorTc women. Unlike much
of those following' both \fortune
and title belonged to the husband.
The baroness was the (laughter
of Captain Ha.-tlett, an officer in
the United States army.
A Cabinet Minister'* Phonograph.
Since his accession to the British
cabinet Mr. Graham Murray had
made a still greater use of the
phonograph for the conduct of
his correspondence as secretary
of state for Scotland than he did
during the period when he acted
as lord advocate in the same de-
partment. Some five or six doz-
en "records" are now constantly
in use, and to these the minister
dictates the replies to his numer-
ous letters, together with a mass
| of other detail work connected
with the office over which he pre-
sides. These are then forwarded
to London, if he happens to be
in Scotland, and the contents are
taken down by his secretaries in
Whitehall. This done, the "rec-
ords" are scraped off and the cyl-
inders are once more ready for
use. By keeping a phonograph
both in London and Scotland the
secretary of state alone among his
j colleagues in Mr. Brlfour's recon-
structed cabinet, is able to giv«
vivavoce instructions to his de
partment at a distance of some
hundreds of miles.
Woman'* Unique Almanao.
The old-time almanac, with itf
predictions of snow in December,
cokl in February, rains in April,
and heat in July, was taken half
seriously in backwoods districts
in America half a century ago.
Todav such an almanac is too
trite a subject even for jest. Yet
Mine, de Thibes of Paris haa is-
• sued an almanac whose preten-
sions to prophecy make the hum-
ble attempts of the American
weather progno&ticator of half a
I centurv ago seem insignificant,
1 indeed. For March she predicts
extravagant and excising Stock
exchange deals; for April, unex-
pected and ridiculous marriages
and divorces; for May, a crises in
I'ranee and the death of the Ger-
man emperor, while Austria will
I be menaced in June. It ia acarce-
lv necessary to go through the
vear with Mme. de Thibea' list of
calamities and the "many tragic
sig-ns" she professes to see for
America, including "some physi-
cal catastrophe wf ich will bring
much mourning." Prophecy ia
an easy business till the inventory
as to results and fulfillment ia
made uut.
THE DALLAS1TES
WERE DEFEATED
Senes Closed With Shut-
out In Favor Of
Locals
A little of some things goes a lor.g
way and so it was with Coraicana's
little score yesterday afternoon when
the Dallas series ended in a shut-out
in which only one earned run was
made. A bigger crowd than usual
witnessed the game and the game
was an unusual good one, keeping the
pulses a little above normal at all
times.
Coraicana's amateurs did the good
work in the second inning, Patterson
landing one safely in left, lrvin put-
ting one in right and the former
scoring on Huddleston's rap to sec-
ond. The game was won here or at
least the locals had laid up enough
tremures to assure them salvation,
but they didn't know it and it was
unreasonable to believe it. Yet it
was a day when everybody was at
work in the field, but the ball d'dn't
get as much pounding as a 13-year-
old boy needs every day—a number
of hits, but few and far between and
only one costly in the game.
Several of the boys failed to pick
'em up and sometimes they couldn't
take advantage of au assist, but
Hunter's throw across the diamond in
the sixth was the only one that al-
lowed an opponent to score or even
get more than one base, so it can be
said the pitchers had good support.
A very small score, a good many hits
and a very few strike-outs compose a
bunch that always reflects credit on
the fielders and with this criterion,
Dick Clark had no kick yesterday and
Tommie Thumb wants none.
Until the sixth inning the rooters
had forgotten to project any theories
or prophesy what the Dallas News
would have to say about the game
and when the oversight came to mind
it opened a fresh field for their en-
ergies and the rooters covered as well
as Mott was covering a large portion
of territory between Johnson and An-
dres. The Dallas boys have a hard
row to hoe along this line and they
are very seldom able to hoe it here.
They are giants to some eyes, but not
to all and, although they are a strong
team, the gigantic appellation hangs
on them like a grandfather's coat on
the second generation heir.
In the sixth inning, things lcoked
a bit shakey for Oorsicana; Mott had
hit for two bags, Rickey hit to Tom-
mie and Mott was captured, Ilry had
hit and Mighty Johnson was at bat
with two men on bases. Here Dallas
petitioned Corsicana for a run which
was so badly needed. Dallas showed
that a shut-out was not contemplated
by her players, she was one among
us and had come here to get our mon-
ey. Corsicana had a legal right to
grant the petition; the baseball team
had this matter under consideration,
however, and without consuming any
time on the legality of the question,
denied the petition on grounds of ex-
pediency. Johnson struck out.
Johnson was up against it good
and strong, for in the eighth he again
had an opportunity to save a shut-
out, but he couldn't hit the boy from
Holland. Mott did the best work for
the visitors and it was sensational to
see him in the eighth when he waltz-
ed over and picked up Boyd's hot
grounder, robbing him of a hit.
The score was as follows:
CORSICANA.

I.EACttK AVERAliKS.
The Fort Worth Record today
gives the agerages of the players in
the Texas league during the first
series, as prepared by President Ab-
bey. Wills of Fort Worth is given
the best batting average, being 329,
and Longley conies second with 314.
This ia exceedingly atrange, too, for
Afaey shows that Wills was at bat 180
times with 66 hits and Longley 178
times with 67 hits. The former went
to bat twice more than Longley who
got 1 i hits more than Wills. These
errors are made throughout the en-
tire list and necessitates correction.
Longley's batting average is 37fi,
Shalton's 321, Wills' 311 and Mulkey's
310. These are the only players in
the Texas league whose batting av-
erages are above 300 per cent.
These are the correct averages as
calculated from the statistics given
by President A bey.
HAI.I.AS LOST OUT.
The last time Dallas played with
Fort Worth, Will Doyle got smart
and raised a rough house with I 'mpire
Spencer, resulting in the game being
forfeited to the Panthers.
The Dallas News immediately drop-
ped this game from the league stand-
ing in order to give Dallas a better
showing and on this account Corsi-
cana people have seen the correct
league standing only in the Couriek-
Light.
President Abey has overruled the
Dallas protest and now some of the
other papers may use the correct
league standing.
ITALY WON.
Italy defeated the Nicholson-Wat-
son team yesterday by a score of 8
to 4. Another game will be played
today.

FIRST PRIMARY
Voting Is Rather Slow—
Everything Is
Quiet
The first general primary under
the Terrell election law is taking
place today and while voting is going
on regularly at all the boxes in the
city there is no excitement and every-
thing is very quiet.
The size of the vote is not as large
as had been expected, in view of the
amount of work that had been done
by the candidates.
As we go to press the following
vote has been polled in the city boxes.
Ward 1—65.
Ward 2—211.
Ward 3—230.
Ward 4—245.
Tolstoi's Outdoor Life.
Still vigorous at the age of 75
years, Count Leo Tolstoi nearly
every day either takes a ride on
his favorite horse, goes for a walk
under the linden trees with his
daughter, Alexandra, or in compa-
ny with his great wolfhound,
tramps over the broad acres of the
famous estate of Ysnaya Polyana.
Tolstoi has long been an ardent
out-of-doors man; in early life a
hurdle rider of 110 mean accom-
plishment, a hunter and an ath-
lete; in later years a pedestrian to
whom twelve miles a day was an
average walk to whom a day in
the saddle was as nothing.
