TO MEET SLOSSON.
Schaefer Arrives in New York and Talks
About the Big Match.

Schaefer Arrives in New York and Talks
About the Big Match.
New YORK, Oct I6-Champion Jacob
Schaefer is in town. He got here at o'clock
last night on the flying express from Cincin-
natl with his wife and Billy Cation. He
went direct to Billy Sexton's rooms, Broad
way and Thirty-third street. Nobody but
the "Old Comanche" and a few intimates
expected the champion, as it was generally
understood he would not come until SUM-
day. The news of his coming brought a
crowd in a jiffy. The champion looked in
flrst-class physical condition. He mentioned
without the slightest trace of feeling that he
had seen from telegraph reports that his
rival, George Slosson, the coming match
with whom brought him to town, was play
ing steady billiards. He thought this meant
great play at the match. He said that the
report that lie had changed his own style OF
play was true.
Il have been playing three cushion caroms
a good deal lately" he said "and it has
strengthened my game, think. L nave
given mp the cid rip long gallery shot some
what, and have tried to cultivate the surer
though somewhat less snowy billiards that
are considered good generalship play. l
have been taking good care of myself, too.
Il am decidedly in favor of tournaments.
Part of my errand here, in fact, is to induce
the players to sign before Slosson and play
the Chickering Hall match. NY present idea
Is TO have series of three Journeys, here
and in Chicago and Cincinnati. These are
the three most important sporting centers
in America, and if the winner of the most
games In all three Journeys shall win the
emblem and be declared champion, then
there will be no kicking. 1t will be a fair
show all around for everyone. 1 think that
Ives, Carter and Cation will go in on even
terms with Slosson and myself at 1+inch
balk line billiards.
Schaefer SAID that Ives was branching out
ambitiouSly in the billiard world. "He's,
opened a parlor one block away from mine,
and he says that he is going to challenge me
for the championship and that he is dead
sure that he can beat Slosson. He will be
red-hot for the tourney scheme you may
depend upon it,"

The Homely Philosophy With Which an

Old Farmer Killed Poetic Bud.
Youths Companion.J
There was homely wisdom in the advice
given by an old New Hampshire farmer to
his dreamy son who, neglecting his proper
work about the place, spent many hours
upon certain foolish verses that he could
not make sound right, even to his own
uncritical ears.
"Seems to me, Bill" said the farmer one
night, looking across the "living-room''
table at his son who, with his forehead pain
fully knotted, was gazing disconsolately at
a half-covered sheet of paper, seems to ME

LONDON, Oct. ls.-The Duke of Westmin-

Middle Park plate last week in such hand
some fashion, is the only horse mentioned
i'll connection with next years Derby. But
very few betting transactions have been yet

will probably start for the Derby as the hot

points of his sire, OrInond, and there has
been as yet no trace of any affection of the

one go to BuenoS Ayres.

not one of the first half dozen in the betting

on which the Duke of Beaufort has won this

KILRAIN NOT CLASS ENOUGH.
Peter Maher Wants to Tackle the Real
First Raters in the Ring

NEW YORK Oct. lS.-The following was re-
ceived at the Police Gazette office yesterday:
New ORLEANS, Oct. I7.-President Noel, of
the Olympic, intends to bring off contest
between Jake Kilrain, of Baltimore, and Peter
Maher. the Irish champion, to take place in
the Olympic in January The club will
probably offer purse of S., 900 for the pugi-
lists to contend for. President Noel is eager
to bring off the affair and will notify Billy
Madden, Maher's manager and Kilrain."
After the above was received Madden was
seen in regard to the matter. He said,
"Maher could receive no credit
for defeating Kilrain, but he would fight
either James Corbett, Charley Mitchell, or
Peter Jackson, in the Olympic Club if Presi-
dent Noel would hang up a suitable purse"

BOARDING AROUND IN SUMMER.
Pittsburg Restaurants Give Plenty Of Ex-
pensive Meats, but Few Vegetables.


People who patronize Pittsburg restaur-
ant, especially in summer, eat great deal
more meat than they need or want, because
they do not get anything else, said a we'll
known citizen to reporter the other day.
With the immense variety of vege table food
everywhere available, it is surprising how
few kinds reach the table. Go into hotel
and tell the waiter to bring your dinner
without giving him specific directions and
ten chances to one he will set three
or four kinds of meat before you, on which,
with little bread, and q pinch of two or
three varieties of vegetables on little dishes,
you are expected to feed.
A vegetarian restaurant, where no meat is
served, would not probably be success. for
it would soon come to be looked on as an
asylum for cranks, but if the restaurants
would increase their bill of fare by the addi-
tion of half dozen healthy vegetables they
would lose nothing, and mankind would be
the gamer

WHY HE WON'T RUN.
Morrissey and His Backer Say Few Words
About Hogan.

Patrick Morrissey. the sprinter, and his
hacker, Nathan Jinks, write a lengthy let
ter to this paper stating why Morrissey de-
clines to run Hogan. In substance, the let
ter says that Hogan is ringer, and that he
wanted to run a race with Morrissey where
by both contestants would be gamers.
Morrissey and his hacker claim to only have
dealings with square races, and that Nor
risSey is only mill man and cannot run
against professionals who do nothing else
but run. 1t is further stated that Morrissey
is only an ll13 second man.
As Morrissey declines to run Hogan the
latter was handed his forfeit of $50 at this
Office last evening.

The Islands, as vacation resorts and as
the summer homes Of wealthy people, have
come into prominence only within the last
twenty-five years. Not until the close of
the war did the locality begin to assume
the character of fashionable watering
place. True, long before that lovers of
sport, in shooting jackets and corduroys,
frequented the region, and it is in o sense
due to their appreciation Of these foothills
of the Adirondacks planted in the water
that the attractiveness of the locality has
been made known. Now thousands make
their annual pilgrimage to the islands, and
there has sprung up among men of means
rivalry in the erection Of cottages" for
which term castles might well be substi-
tuted, SO palatal and imposing are the
proportions of the structures. Some of the
most notable homes are built of native
granite in the medieval style of arrhitec-
ture. Among those who have built resi-
dences are the Pullmans, of Chicago; the
Haydens, of Ohio; the Packers, of Penn
sylvaaia; the late Dr. j. G. Holland, and
DR.. Warner.

cality the tribes carried on a bloody
warfare during two centuries at least.
The tortuous passages among the isl

particularly adapted to savage strife,
and the dense underground afforded
hiding places for the enemy as well as for
game. Lookouts were posted on the higher
promontories, and such system of watch
fulness was maintained that the wonder is
that one or the other of the contestants
did not retire long before the advent of the

Earthenware in Cooking.

The flavor Of food baked or boiled in
earthenware is said by those who have
made the experiment to be far superior to
that Of vegetable or animal food cooked in
the same way in iron vessels, for the rea-
son that iron is conductor of heat, while
earthenware is a non-conductor; conse-
quently, food cooked in the latter is rarely
ever burned, the degree of heat not varying
perceptibly during the process of cooking,
thus preserving the favor of what is
cooked, as well as uniformity throughout
the substance of the meat, vegetables or
grains, until the process of cooking is
completed. So earthenware takes the
premium, as it deserves to, and those who
have found out how much better they can
do their cooking in these vessels than in
ironware,. give pots and kettles a cold
shoulder often.-Exchange
