organization, and was going home to vote.
These certificates, with the proper sigma
lures attached, were distributed among
active members of the association to issue to
voters. To secure one of these certificates,
however, the purchaser was required to pay
S. to the ASSOCIATION. About $50 have been
issued.

the association had furnished certain

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
PHILADELPHIA, October 80. George
Lederer, who eloped with Florrie New
combe and who has been indicted by the
New York courts for bigamy, was seen at
the Chestnut Street Theater tonight. He
said his counsel had forbidden him to talk
about the case. "But," he added, "you
may say for me that when the people on the
other side get through throwing their venom
and iuvective at me will explode bomb
that will startle New York"
"What is the bomb, Mr.. Lederer?" asked
the reporter.
81 do not feel at liberty to tell you, in
view of the injunction of my counsel. do
not believe, however, that 1 will ever be
convicted of bigamy. Why, If I am found
guilty of that charge, then there are 5000
men in New York to-day who could also be
convicted of bigamy."
The vaudeville manager seemed to be in
excellent spirits, and did not seem at all
alarmed at the proceedings which have been
instituted against him.

The Billiard Haudicap.

NEW YORK, October 30.-Jacob Schaefer has
succeeded in awakening a discussion among
the billiard cracks who are anxious to compete
in the proposed international tourney about the
relative merits of the balk-line measurement
handicap and a handicap by a discount of
points in the proposed contest. William Sex
ton seems inclined now to side with Schaefer
in favor of the latter system of handicap
Slosson, on the other hand, is enthusiastic on
the subject of handicap of l4-inch to 10inch.
He says that it is calculated to afford a better
exhibition of billiards to those who pay to see
professionals play, and adds that the public in
terest is materially decreased and the pecuniary
success Of tournament correspondingly af-
fected in an adverse way by handicapping of
players by discount of points
