New York Has Quasi Clubhouse That viii
Please Them Greatly

New York Has Quasi Clubhouse That Will
Please Them Greatly.
Just about the nearest substitute that one
can imagine for the privileges of club for
women who are staying in the city for shop
ping or other tenn porary purposes says the
New York Sun, is new enterprise that has
recently developed. A cultivated lady has
recently taken house, which she has fur
nished handsomely throughout. with draw
ing room, plenty of bedrooms, reading
room, private dining room and restaurant
attached. With all these adjuncts it isn't a
boarding house, it isn't hotel, because it
isn't open to any but transients and, in half
humorous turnabout for the lack of hotel
privileges from which unattended women
havesuffered, no men are admitted here unless
attended bv their wives. The whole enter
prise is in the hands of women, even to the
restaurant, and it stands for temporary
home or temporary club for women who
need such place for a few days. For
women in town who haven't homes of their
own it is place where they may give a din
ner or a supper to friends without question
and with less publicity than can be had in
a restaurant or hotel. For the convenience
of out-of.town guests there is visitors
guide and shopping bureau connected with
it. This is an enterprise that answers a real
need, as here, with charges more moderate
than hotel rates, women can have all the
comforts OF the hotel with the privacy of
private club or even of home.

MR.. FAsIG SUPPORTS IT.
The Cleveland Horseman Interested in the
Proposed New Running Circuit.

The Cleveland Horseman Interested in the
Proposed New Running Circuit.
Regarding the projected circuit of running
meetings In which H. o. Price is trying to ar.
range, and which was first referred to in this
paper, Secretary W. B. Fasig of Cleveland,
saws:
Individually am greatly interested in the
running circuit and l have not the slightest
hesijancy in saying that think it will be a nav.
ing venture from the start. OF course it costs
money to run a meeting of this kind but the
novelty of the thing would make it pay. You
could get enough money from the bookmakers
TO make up the added money. As yet the Cleve.
land Driving Park directors have done nothing
whatever with the new idea. II they don't
want to 60 lntolt they would probably rent the
track TO outsiders and allow them to handle the
meeting l have not talked with any one of
them on the subiecr, but don't know of any
reason why they shouldn't allow he meeting TO
be held. A good time tor 1t would be in August
directly alter the summer trotting meeting
Wouldn't the necessary narrowing of the
track for the runners jure it for the trotters
Mr.. Fasig was asked.
Not bit was his answer Look at Wash
ington Park, Chicago, for instance Tbey
give running meetings. aid in the fall the
track is used for the meetings OF the North
western Breeders Association. 1t is fast trot-
ting track"
AS previously stated in TIE DISPATCH the
intention is to have Pitt>burg Cleveland. Buff
talO and Detroit in the circuit.

SUICIDE STATISTICS.

A Sad Revelation in Connection With the
German Schools.
rBY DUNLAP's CABLE coMPANY.1
BERLIN, Jan. 1S.-As statisticians, the
Germans are allowed to be in all respects
the most searching and indefatigable in the
world. One who recently instituted an in
quiry OF this nature has given results which
are pathetic in the extreme. 1t seems that
2S9 German school children committed
suicide in the six years ending 1888. The
idea is appalling. The suicides have been
much more numerous in the elementary
than in high schools.
The most prolific cause of suicide in the
elementary schools was the fear OF punish
ment, to which the deaths of 45 boys and
% girls are attributed. Can anything be
more sad or a more heartrending ref ection
on the traditional forms OF chastisement in
the high schools? Disappointmepts in e1-
aminations claimed the greatest number OF
victims -

Bilson Jack Looms Up With a Few Words
to the Pittsburser.


to the Pittsburser
Any prominence that Pat Farrell and his
friends may have derived from the formers
challenge to Fiizsimmons is going to be called
in question; as the following communication
from BilSon Jack shows. The letter received
at this office yesterday, reads:
DEAR SIR understand that Pat Farrell
rell TOR $500 a side at any club in the United
States. He never fought a good man or any
man any better than am. / have fought the
Prussian in Philadelphia and Jack Fogarty in
Pittslurg. Yours. JOHN GUEST
WASHINGTON. PA. alias 'Bllson Jack"
Bson JACK may really lie honest in what he
says in the above but it is only necessary to
note that Farrell has had a challenge before
the country for very long time to fight any
miduleweighJ in it. Beside. for reasons more
than once stated. Farrell will not go
thoroughly into the pucilIStic business for
a stake of $500. Considering that Farrelrs
hackers have so often tried to get him matched
against any prominent middle-weight in the
country without success il is hardly fair for any
outsider to interfere with Farrell's bona fide
challenge to Fitzsimmons until the latter has
pronounced upon it, But Farrelrs challenge
goes further than Fitzsimmons because Farrell
l. ready to fiGh: La Blanche, Young Mitchell
or any middle-weighJ under the same condi-
tlons that he proposes to the Australian. Ger
tainlr Pittsburg sporting people know that Bill
son Jack faced EOgarty, ana they also know
that somebody named Frank Herald faced Sui
lIvan IN Pittsburg. The intentions of FarrelPs
hackers are honest and for outsiders to try and
disparage them is scarcely the fair thing.

In Washington during Buchanan's term

Martin developed in the City of Magnificent

plants one or two chips, valued at 30 cents,
all around the board, and waits for some
rich friend to give him stake. Thaddeus
Stevens, the great commoner, was playing in
good luck one winters night at Ned Pendle-

pointed gamester, exclaiming:

Philadelphia Press.]
A man uptown. who looked as if he
wouldn't go out of his way to malign poor
little rabbit, was telling some of his COM
panions over his glass of beer that his bows
pet had become an habitual beer drinker.
"When bought that rabbit" said he, "the
dealer told ME that he would eat ANYTHING
at all. had supposed that he would cost
me small fortune in fresh vegetables. but
the dealers story was the truth, for he eats
meat aud cooked vegetables with Just as
great relish as he does green stuff.
Gone night when I was drinking nv
usual bottle of beer be ore going to bed.
Bre'r Rabbit eyed me. so closely that, in fun,
poured little into saucer. The rabbit
tasted it, stopped awhile to think about it..
came and tried it again. and finally cleaned
the saucer. Since then he shares my quart
of beer every night. When come in at
night Billy CHATS his name) runs to meet
me, and after he gets his beer he frisks
around in the liveliest way.. 1 shall have to

very restless.
