BARKER's OLD FAULT.
He DIsagrees With Jimmy Reed About the
Expenses.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
BOSTON, March A-It looks as though the
proposed checker match between Champion
Charles F. Barker, of Cambridge, and James
P. Reed, of Pittsburg, for $3.50 side and the
championship of America would fall through
on account of hitch in the matter of expenses
to be allowed Barker for his trip to Chicago.
Barker said yesterday:
Il am only too willing to play Reed, hut he
doesn't mean business. ! received letter
from him few days ago. in which he practi-
cally admitted that he wouldn't play He says
in it that he doesn't want to play me, but that
his Chicago friends are urging him to make
the match. He adds that if 1 do not care to
concede certain points, which he knows to be
vital, we might as well let the matter drop, and
concludes with the hope that something will
occur to pr event the making of the match.
It's pretty hard to come to terms with man
who is in that frame of mind. propose to
bend my energies to the task of meeting with
Wylie. I propose, as soon as this controversy
is settled, to issue a challenge to Wylie for
$1,000 side and the championship of the
world. He is now in Australia, but will post
q forfeit of 500 and leave the challenge open
for six months in order to give him ample time

HOW TO SAVE LIFE.

What is a cough? 1t is an irritation of the
throat and lungs. What causes it? Conges-
tion. Stop the congestion. the irritation ceases
and the cough is cured. But how to stop the
congestion! All, there is just where physicians
have always been puzzled. But it must be
checked, or pneumonia, quick consumption or
some terrible pulmonary disease will follow.
Some doctors give cod liver oil, others cough
syrups but the most advanced prescribe stim-
ulants. Nature must be assisted. Pure whis-
key will do it. See what physicians say:
Prof. Austin Flint of Bellevue New York;
College, says: ''The judicious use of alcoholic
stimulants is one of the striking characteristics
of progress in the practice of medicine during
the last half century"
Professor Henry A. Mott of New York, says:
'DThe purity OF Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey las

Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is a certain cure
and preventive of congestion and should be
kept in every family. 1t is sold by all druggists
and dealers Be sure and secure the genuine.

st. Peters.

The largest and grandest temple of wor-
ship in the world is the St. Peters cathedral
at Rome. It stands ON the site of Nero's
circus, in the northwest part of the city, and
is built in form of Latin cross The total
length of the interior is 6l215 English feet;
transept, 44G15 feet; height of nave, 1921
feet; diameter of cupola, 1913 feet; height OF
dome from pavement to top of cross AS feet.
The great bell alone without the hammer or
clapper weighs $4,000 pounds, or over nine
and quarter tons. The foundation was laid
in 1850 A. D. Forty-three popes lived and
died during the time the work was in pro-
gress. 1t was dedicated in the year 1926,
but not entirely finished until the year 1880.

The Fisheries Question.

The fisheries question, over which so much
discussion has taken place in the past was
briefly this: l. Whether the United States
have a right in the British fisheries indepen-
dent of treaty provisions. 2. What are the
rights of American fishermen under the con-
vention of 1918 and under the laws of navi-
cation and of trade? g. The 'headlands''
question, which is incidental to the other two
questions. The British hold that the line
must be drawn from headland to headland,
three miles from shore This Interpretation
would exclude American fishermen from the
bays which indent the coast deeply and are
the resort of the fish. The Americans say
that three miles from shore means upon a
line parallel with the shore and three miles
distant from every point of the coast line,
Consequently all bays more than six miles
wide at the mouth would be open to the
American fishermen.

or exceed twenty miles a second. By mod
crate estimate, then, our position in space is
changing to the extent of five hundred mil
lion of miles annually, and collision be-
tween our sun and the nearest fixed star
would be inevitable (were our course directed
in straight line toward it, after the lapse
of $1,000 years.
The old problem of how the heavens move,
successfully attacked in the solar system, has
retreated to stronghold among the stars,
from which it will be difficult to dislodge it.
In the stupendous mechanism of the sidereal
universe, the acting forces can only betray
themselves to us by the varying time con-
figurations of its parts. But as yet our
knowledge of stellar movements is miserably
scanty. They are apparently so minute as
to become perceptible, in general, only
through observations of great precision ex-
tending over a number of years. Even the
quickest moving star would spend 257 years
in crossing an arc of the heavens equal to the
disk of the full moon. Yet all the time low
ing to the inconceivable distances of the OBJ
jects in notion these almost evanescent dis
placements represent velocities in many cases
so enormous as to battle every attempt to &c
count for them. Runaway stars are no
longer of extreme rarity.

Pritchard's Photographic determination of
the parallax of Cassiopeia shows, however,
that inconspicuous object not only to be a
sun about forty times as luminous as our own,
but to betrave'ing at the prodigious rate of
300 miles-while DR.. Elkin's result for Arc
turus gives it velocity of little less than 400
miles-a secondl The express star of the
southern hemisphere, so far, is one of the
fourth magnitude situated in Toucan. Its
speed of about 200 miles second may, how
ever, soon turn out to be surpassed by some
of the rapidly moving stars at tie cape
Among them are pairs drifting together,
and presumed therefore to be connected by
special physical bond, and to lie at nearly the
same distance from ourselves. Thispresump-
ton will now be brought to the test.
