HOW OFTEN TO MILK.
1t May be Done Three Times n DAY
Snn

1t May be Done Three Times n Day in
Summer.
With ordinary cows twice a day is
sufficient for milking. but there areuoc-
casional exceptions which in full flow
of milk, especially on good pasture in
June, need TO be millted oftener than
once in twelve hours, to prevent in
furious pressure on the bag There is
at this season about sixteen hours of
daylight in the mort hern states, and
the three milkings, morning, noon and
night may be put eig hit hours apart,
and each be done without needing a
lantern. But a COW millSed three times
day ought to have some extra feed
besides, even with the best pasture, and
such COW will always pay we'll for all
the grain she will eat. Three times
milking daily will prevent her from
fattening. In fact, If milking later in
the season were put twelve hours apart
cows would not dry off so fast as they
do, even after they get on dry feed BY
leaving the milk in the bag fourteen
and even fifteen hours, as is often
done in winter, great deal of fat is
absorbed, and goes to fatten the COW.
More frequent and more regular milk
ing will improve the milking capacity
of COWS, and will also transmit better
milking capacity to their offsprings, a
point not Q 'ten thought Of Most of the
time that cow is being milked she is
bearing the future calf and whatever
affects the dam must also affect the foe.

Georgetown last year. He is a son of Com
modore Ramsey, of the Navy, and is now at
Fordham College, where he is the full-back. He
commenced to play football couple of years
ago on Cookies Park, with the younger ele-
ment of Georgetown boys started in at Ford
ham and became at once one OF their best
players. AS dropkicker he has few super
tors, and Phil King says he is wonder. He
gave an exhibition on Thursday at the Park
and out of eleven chances from the forty-fve
yard he successfully put the ball over the bar
every time.
On Saturday evening next the Columbias
will give their usual fortnightly exhibition of
athletics and sparring.
A great many visiting collegians, who are
given the privilege of the c. A. c. house, are
availing themselves OF them eagerly, aud
nightly there can be seen a large number OF
Princeton, Yale, Lehigh Harvard, and Cornell
students in the fine rooms.
Some of the papers are printing statements
to the effect that Captain Sam Stinemetz will
not serve the c. A. G. team as captain next
year. 1t can be set down for a certainty that
he will remain where he is for the Columbias
are not going TO allow such a Jealous officer
to RETREAT this stage of the contest.
On Monday the High School team will play
game of football with the graduates of the
school who are now students at Lehigh. The
game will take place at the Y. NJ, G. A. Park
Mr. Howard Perry has returned from his
trip to Oklahoma.
The annual election of officers OF the C. A.
Z. takes place on January 16.
On New Years Eve the Potomacs will have
watch meeting at their clubhouse, and the
athletic features that Secretary Schmidt is ar
ranging are going to surpass any ever given by
the club. In addition to the excellent sparring,
wrestling, and club swinging there will be
vocal and instrumental music by the best
local amateurs. There will be five different
sparring encounters. Admission to this ath-
letic matchmaking will be by card only.
Cards can be obtained from members.
Ordway, of Lehigh, showed his friends on
Christmas Day that he is football player
He is a son of General Ordway, of the District
of Columbia National Guards.
Mooney, of G. A. c., is one of the best built
men of the club, and is rapidly developing
into first class gymnast. He has taken up
sparring.
DR.. Emil Won Lindgren. the popular oars
men and scientific sparrer, has made applica-
ton for membership in the G. A. G.
The recent meeting between Carter and
Lindgren at the c. a. c., was the last one
they will have and now they will meet others
who desire to test their ability.

THE LAST BIG GAME.
Some of the Features of the Christmas
Football Contest.

Some of the Features of the Christmas
Football Contest.
The last really important football game of
the season Was played Christmas Day between
the champion Columbia Athletic team and
the All-Washington team, picked one. De-
spite the unfavorable weather the game was
witnessed by about 1,00C enthusiasts, many
of whom were ladies. OF the game little can
be said, for while the Washington team
was perhaps individually superior to the "A
q, the training and team work of the latter
won very credltable victory BY score of 12
to d. The victory of the G. A. G.. demon
strated the fact that team work is better than
individual excellence. In the game Christ
mas Day the lack of team work was mani
Tested by incessant scrapping, and in this re-
spect the game was not as clean as it should
have been. In one scrmmage Captain
Sammy King of tue ALL Washington WAS
thrown hard, aud in the melee his nose came
in contact with Lewis knee, the result being
broken nose. Veasey also got hard knock
on his nose. Little Phil King and ''Cupidn
Townsend seemed to have a grudge against
each other and whenever a scrimmage occur
red their legs did pantomime act in the air,
while their heads were in the mud. McFar-
land, who is always aggressive, found Charley
Mills just about his calibre, and proceeded to
make a show of him, but Charley bueked
cleverly and gave tit for tat, much to the
pleasure of the spectators.
Behind the lines the Washingtons had
Phil King as quarter. Ordway, of Lehigh;
Trench, of Naval Academy, and Lewis, of
Military Academy as halves, and Ramsey, of
Fordham, as full-back. They did clever work.
The G. A. G.. had Williams as quarter, Harlan
and Townsend, halves, and Veasey and Wilson,
full-backs and their work was also creditably
done. Mr. Frank Butterworh refereed the
game, and was, perhaps, just the least bit one
way, which did not suit some of the specta-
tors. Mr.. Charles Boynton umpired admirably.
This closing game showed one important fact,
that there is material in Washington for one
of the best football elevens in America

President Yocng cannot divulge the names
of the various players chosen by the managers
of the twelve teams. but the clubs themselves
can if they see fit. President Young only
makes known the names OF players after they
enter into q contract.
Our acrobatic friend Caylor, of the Sporting
Times, gave the boys some hard whacks last
week, especially the crowd that deserted the

Great regret is expressed because Dowd will
not be with the team next season.
Paul Radford will make a great short-stop
for the home team.
Under the rules governing League teams,
the club of each city must take that cty's

spoken of as the Washngstons.
Manager Barney is with his people in Brook

two female employees lost their lives. The fire
is beyond the control Of the fire department.
and brisk wind is blowing.
The FIRE is progressing from, Eighth and
Market north, and it seems that it will take
much of the East side block Besides Love-
mans and Ervin's, Christie's and the Cham
ber OF Commerce are in ruins on the south
end and this will probably be the south
boundary. The Times office'on Cherry street
has been several times on fire, but will be
saved. The Office has, however, been gutted
by Jealous friends. On the north the dry
goods stores of Schwartz, Silva Il Abbott,
and Gottschalk & Kelley are in ruins. Van

entire business portion was about to be de-
stroyed.
Knoxville sent a fire engine here and it
reached Cleveland, eighty two miles from
Knoxville, in So minutes. At Cleveland word
was received that the engine was not neces-
sary.
The fire began in Loveman 81 Co.'s, while
the clerks were at their luncheon on the
third floor. The flames pIead with astonish-
ing rapidity, burning through the elevator
shaft and statrways, cutting off the escape of
about thirty female employees, who were res,
cued from the windows with the extension
ladders of the fire department, aided by citi-
zens. Two of the women fell from the win
dows and were somewhat injured, and a third
was rescued in an almost suffocated cond-
ton. The adjoining buildings were soon
afiame, the fire licking up over half a million
dollars in less than two hours.
One hundred men and women are at work
in the Times office to night trying to arrange
the office. The crowd was kept out of the
composing room and the Times will appear as
usual tomorrow. The total loss is about
100000 with about $550000 insurance The
property destroyed is on the two most prom-
nent corners in the city, Loverman's dry
goods house was one of the largest in the
South, there being 130 employees in this one

ATHLETICS.

One of the most important events of the
week was the peace meeting between repre-

bumpers of sparkling champagne, the recon
clliation was cemented. This means that here
after the wearers of the Crimson will tackle
the Tigers not only in football, but will also
meet them on the ball field. In Washington
this news was decidedly welcome as a great

In order to stimulate and encourage its
members the Columbias have engaged a pro-

His name is Murphy and he is a protege of

One of the strangest things connected with
football is that wherever there is pronounced

GRATITUDE TOWARD THE POPE
His Republican Policy TO BE Promoted
by France.

ROME, Dec 26.-Count Lafevre de Behaine,
the French Ambassador to the Holy See, was
granted a special interview by the Pope to-
day. During the course of the interview the
Ambassador assured his Holiness that France
considered the recent radical outbursts
against the church and the attitude of the
French bishops as passing cloud. Count de
Behaine urged the Pope not to judge the feel
ing in France by the embittered utterances
which had been delivered in the Chamber of
Deputies. The French Government, he de-
clared, was anxious to maintain the most
friendly relations with the Vatican in order
to promote the Pope's Republican policy

THE DEFENSE WAS JUBILANT
An Important Letter Admitted in the
Graves Murder Trial.

An important Letter Admitted in the
Graves Murder Trial.
DENVER, COL, Dec. 26.-In the Graves trial
this morning Mr.. Stevens announced that after
an examination of the letter the prosecution
withdrew all objections to its being admitted
in evidence. This is the letter which it was
claimed the doctor wrote to Mrs. Barnaby in
San Francisco at the time she was on her way
to Denver, and at about the time the fatal
bottle was mailed. Its intention is to prove
that the doctor thought Mrs. Barnaby
was in San Francisco and therefore he could
not have mailed the bottle to her in Denver If
he thought she was elsewhere Judge Fur
man read the letter which explained to Mrs.
Barnaby how to get the DOCTORS checks
cashed and told of the death of his brother.
1t was dated March 81 and was posted at
Providence on March 3d. Mr.. Stevens then
said he wished the letter to go into evidence
under the instructions of the court.
The letter was passed from juror to Juror,
and finally handed back to Judge Furman.
The defense appeared jubilant, but the prose-
cution was not unhappy. Judge Furman re-
sumed the DOCTORS direct examination and
he denied that he had told Mrs. Hickey that
he had engaged Dollie Hanley to spy on Mrs.
Barnaby. He was in Denver in March last
with his brothers. remains. This concluded
his direct examination and Mr. Stevens began
his cross-eXamination.
