A PRINCETON man has invented a machine for pitching curves with a base-ball. The U.of M. Daily describes it as "a gun which a man carries in his arms, with which he can shoot a base-ball at any speed and give an out-curve, an in-curve, a drop, and a rise, the last, however, being practically a very swift straight ball, for Mr. Hinton has not yet succeeded in over coming the law of gravitation." The gun is intended merely to give practice to batsman, and will probably be of considerable value for this purpose. The next thing to be expected and hoped for is an automatic umpire.
FAUST.
Thursday, Feb'y. 4. Guaranteed personal appearance of Mr. Morrison.
Lewis Morrison will pay his annual visit to this City on presenting his well known and always popular production of Goethe's "Faust" which will never pall upon lovers of things theatric for its story is always bright and entertaining however often told. Mr. Morrison in his conception of Mephisto is a sly insinuating devil, an evil one of such great personality that he dominates not only the play but the players as well. In every scene and act Mephisto is the centre around which all the others revolve and it can be truly said that Mr. Morrison is an idealization of the part in every way. The production of this season will be seen with entirely new stage settings and scenic environment more elaborate if anything than those which
have preceded it in seasons past. The electric effects are still a notable novelty unsurpassed by none and equalled by few attractions that have been given us since electricity came to be such an important factor in stage effects. The supporting company embraces that very talented and winning actress Florence Roberts as Marguerite and White Whittlesey as Faust. Seats on sale Tuesday morning.
Popular Low-Price California Excursions.
The Santa Fe Route personally conducted weekly excursions to California are deservedly popular. About one-third saved in price of railroad and sleeper tickets as compared with first-class passage.
The improved Pullmans occupied by these parties are of 1896 pattern and afford every necessary convenience. A porter goes with each car, and an experienced agent of the Company is in charge.
The Santa Fe's California line is remarkably picturesque, and its middle course across the continent avoids the discomforts of extreme heat or cold.
Daily service, same as above, except as regards agent in charge.
For descriptive literature and other information; address G. T. NICHOLSON, G. P. A., A., T. & S. F. Ry., Chicago.
