Alexandra's Jewels. On such an occasion as the open ing of parliament Queen Alexandra of England may be :n*.iyr said to rifle her Jewel caskets. On her head toe wears the becoming crown of largo diamonds which woull be so trying to many a royal lady, but which in the as« of Queen Alexandra is admirably adapted to set off tie extreme regu* larlty of her features. Her majesty also wears a priceless lace veil, fast* ened to her hair by jeweled pins, which repeat and recall tha luster of he? favorite jewels—pearls. indeed. It may he said that pearls play a predoas* lnant part In alj tha special lovely parures of the queen, and the dieting ulshing feature of her costume at the opening of parliament is always mag nificent ropes of pearls, which ranch from her majesty’s neck almost to the item of her beautiful dress. The open- ins of parliament Is one of the flaw occasions which sees the queen wear.* Ing the Koh-I-Noor In public; and the. hr^ad ribbon of the Oartar Is held Ifttf place by large brilliants and tat panel'* brooches, as well as by nnmerofla/ irmllv" and other royal orders.

It is mere ly a question of back up the toad to fclttle Rock or further into the Arkansan moratses to Pine Bluff.

It’s all along the same streak of rust, anyhow. Yesterday the burly athletes of the Detroit baseball club bathed as usual, though a slight drizzle prevented any workout at the ball park. They got into their auks,, rode out to the en closure, however, and viewed a circus, riding back about noon.

As has been often said before. Hughle is the hardest worker on his team. Today nothing is definitely program ed except the bath, which will be taken as usual. Jennings says he Is through negotiating with Barney Drey* rues for EEe use of his ball park. Mr. Dreyfuss doesn't stand very high in the estimation of our gentlemanly athletes, who do their bathing at this end of town. He is too backward about coming forward with something definite. It is now.virtually certain that there w ill be nothing doing Saturday in the way of a guine or anything else, hut hatha, which the-Tigers will continue taking to tho bitter end.’ LOUGHREY CAUGHT PAIR OF TARTARS PHILADELPHIA March 20.—Young Lougbrey, of Manayunk, attempted to whip two men in three rounds each at the Broadway Athletic club, last night.

Os course, everybody appreciates Sam. Everybody recognizes in him one of the greatest fielders and surest throwers in the le?-gue. Everybody knows that at bat he is a terror to kny pitcher and most dangerous of all in a plnoh when a hit means vic tory and a failure, defeat. Everybody recognizes that, dn the bases he la about as successful a naylgator as any man of his size In the organizaUon. Oh. yes! A king ball player, beyond question! But what would the Tigers do with Crawford out of the game? Why er—er—Crawford never Is Hub of the game! Nobody knows what would happen and for that very good i cason! Os course, Sam has been on the bench for a day or two now and then However, he has served the Detroit baseball club faithfully for four years now and the writer recalls two sea sons in which he played without a break from start to finish. In all probability, a dozen games or possibly 15 will cover his eulite delinquer. des. Sam’s invariable readiness fog duty Is really one of his most valuable qualifications. He doesn’t get the credit for It that he deserves because the fans have seen him in his position ho long and so regularly that they would hardly know the team without him. These desperate chance-takers are ail right In their way and great in the spectacular lines, but they spend a good deal of time each'year on the bench while the conservative,, every dry boys are delivering the goods in 154 games or thereabouts per year.

This Jack Palmer was not as easy as the latest picking, Jem Roche, nor as tough as the first aspirant.

The pic tures are as dear ns any ever seen here and the style and motions of the contestants are discernible at every dnove. y Vi l There was Just one minute of fight ing. when the Englishman savagely attacked Brusso in the opening round, when it seemed that Palmer had o chance Then the force of the Araeri tan’s blow's told and the fight became a flight. Palmer slipped down, was knocked down, fell down —and spent a large share of the four rounds on the mat. Then the uuttlly-attired ref eree stopped the one-sided affair. Brusso sent the films to his old friend, Wm. Mclntosh, and they were given a private view Thursday after noon in the Gayety. Sunday aftoi noon they will be put on for a week’s exhibition. London In Ancient Eyes. "London, by reason of the excessive coldness of the air hindering the as cent of smoke, was so filled with the /uliginous steam of the sea coal that one could hardly see across the streets, and this, filling the lungs with Us gross particles, exceedingly ob structed the breast, so as one could scarcely breatho." So wrote John Evelyn over two centuries back. Dr. Sven Hedin, the Swedish explor cr, says that he has discovered the true sources of the Bramaputra and In dus. Bramaputra, he says. Is the Ku bitsampso, which rises irom an enor mous glacier on the northern stde of the northernmost parallel range of the Himalayas.

BRUBKE. HOT SPRINGS, Ark., March 20.—it paya to be a good pinch hitter. At least George Mullin says that he la certain that his record of last year in this respect was worth iuat >3OO tu him in contrail: “President Navin and I had talked back and forth about my pitching, and my value to the club as a twlrler,” Is the way Oeorge tells it. ’’Finally we came to an agreement. ’Now,’ I said, Til call to your attention, Mr. Navfn, the fhet that I went to bat in pinches Jvst 15 times last year, getting two bases on balls, making 12 hits and winning ten ball games. Doesn’t that deserve some consideration V “Os course, we argued round awhile, but |3O» was the figure at which the pinch htttlng was finally appraised." Mullln’s success as au emergency batsman is probably a world’s season's record. It is no surprise to Detroiters to have It recalled in this way, though the exact figures have not been uaed before. Mullin has them all dated up and indexed in the form of clippings in his scrap book, and there is no doubt of the authenticity of his claim. Reflection* of a Bachelor.

What a woman likes about her hus band explaining his politics Is she can’t understand it any better than he does. Unless a man pretends to know how the baby’s food ought to be pre pared his wife is afraid he is not a good father. —A laige pait of ttre~tnir or staying out all night la lost, if you are a bachelor so that It doesn’t make any difference. —N.
