At the annual meeting of the Amateur
Athletic Union, held on November 10th in
New ork, some important business was
transacted. The appeal from the Metro

four-round clause and allow UNLIMITED
boxing contests between amateurs was re-
ferred to the new board. This means prac-
tlcally that the present rule OF four rounds
will remain as it is, although the New

One Lad Kills Another Without the
Slightest Provocation.
Weymouth is excited over the arrest of a
lad named Wise. II years Of age, on the
charge of murder Wise is one of the APP
prentces belonging to her Majesty's train
ing ship Boscawen. The vessel recently
visited Weymouth and is now anchored off
that port. A number of the boys obtained
liberty to visit the shore. Among them
were Wise and another lad, who started for
stroll on the cliffs. Finally they
reached a point where the cliffs stand
seventy feet above the narrow stretch of
shore beneath. Here the two boys stood
looking out seaNard, still talking in the
most friendly manner, when, suddenly and
without provocation or warning, Wise
placed his hands against his companion,
and, eXerting all his strength, showed him
over the edge of the cliffs. With shrek
of terror the lad clutched at the air and fell
upon the rocks at the base of the cliffs.
Unconcerned at the terrible crime he had
committed, Wise went back TO the town and
subsequently, returned to his duties on
board the Boscawen. When Wise's COM
panion did not return, the officers made in
quiries, and when they questioned WISE the
latter told them that he had pushed him
over the cliff. The lad was alive when
found, but died in short time. Wise was
Immediately arrested.

"All aboard! rang out, the engine gath
cred itself for mighty effort. and again we
were going upward. Slowly we crept over
the freshly made track and gained the
upper side amid hearty rOusing cheers from
workers and passengers.
A steady climb, curve and we were at
the summit. A cold wind greeted us as we
left the coach, and we gladly crowded into
the old signal station, now used only as a
hostelry for those caring to remain over
night on the mountain.
Standing in that room heated by an euor-
nous stnve, with outer doors closed and
double-sash windows sunlight on that Both
day of tune, we could not but wonder how
bitter cold it would be were the month De-
cember instead OF June. The house is of
stone, and seems part of the mountain
itself rather than house built with human
hands.
The whole top of the peak is as if deluge
OF boulders. SCATTERING as they fell, had
poured GOWN upon the mountains hoary
and mother earth under all, hidden from
sight.
And the stiffness of the spot!-no sound
OF bird or insect or ceaseless toll of man !;
silence prlmeva, oppressive, absolute. such
as reigned here before man was and will
reign when he is no more.
With almost a start we were recalled to
everyday affairs. The enterprising pho
tographer was ready to "snap" this his
torc party, and we were urged to arrange
ourselves artistically, and to look pleasant
becomingly!
The picture was taken, the train boarded,
and soon the visit to Pixies Peak was only
delightful memory. Owing To the delays,
Denver was not reached until II 10 that
night, fifteen hours after the departure in
the morning, but what pioneer would ever
have believed the ascent could be accom-
plished in n few hours?
Is it any wonder that next morning as we
looked to the south and saw the mighty
peak towering above all others, we felt q
new reverence for it and an in terest that
amounted almost to ownership ?-St.

The late rains have vastly improved the
condition OF the coursing grounds and the
patrons of the grand old sport" are nat
urally happy in the thought Of having some
good racing in the near future.
Colonel North. the well-known English
promoter of coursing, took. the other day,
$500 to 900 that he would win the next
Waterloo cup. If that amount in dollars
was wagered in this country it would create
quite stir IN cOuTsing circles.
i. ID. Nolan, the local coursing enthusi-
asst, has been creating quite an amount of
amusement by elating to his friends how
some of the people of MERGED make bologna
sausages out of horse-collars. Ii has been
suggested that Mr.. Nolan give lecture on
the subject at the meeting of the G.. W.
Coursing Club
The Golden West Coursing Club will hold
a series Of contests oil Sunday, the 18th
inst, at o can View Coursing Park. AS
stated in Fridays CALL the drawing will
take place on the 10Th inst at 1920 Howard
street. The Golden West members are de-
termined to make the occasion one OF the
most pleasant Of the season, and as the
manager Of the park has given the club
hares Tree OF charge, admirers of contests
between the long aud short tailed flyers
look forward to great days amusement.
The monthly meeting Of the Occidental
Coursing Club will be held at 81 KearlIy
street oil Tuesday evening. The Secretary
reports that, weather permitting the Occi-
dentals will be treated to one of the M ost
pleasant outings on New Years day at
Newark that they have had in many moons.
Hare3 are abundant, and as the hounds
owned by the members are of the very best
material the contests will undoubtedly be
sharp and decisive. Entries for this meet
ing must be made on or before Tuesday, the
29th inst. The all-aged stake is open to all

THE MARVEL OF
MECHANISM.
A Machine That Makes Every Writer
His Own Compassion.
1t Is Said That 1t Reads Its Own Copy and
Casts Its Own Type as 1t Goes, and That
1t Actually Sets Individual Type.

From time to time some machine has been
invented. patented and put to the test which
the inventor firmly believes will do and do
well the work that is now performed by the
composition, who is forced to pick type by
type from his case and set up matter, and
who is considered good workman if he can
set according to printers measure one thou
sands ems per hour. The type-setting ma
chimes that have been invented during the
past few years can. so their inventors claim,
do great deal more work than can be done
by hand and can do ii In less time, but now
comes an individual who. according to the
New York Press. has invented machine
which he calls the Lanston automatic type
machine, that makes every writer his own
compositor, and, if the representations made
are correct, it makes it the most wonderful
machine of the age. The following from
the paper named goes to show what the ma
chine can do:
1t casts and sets single type.
1t justifics every line as it goes along, just
as does the compostor-a point in mechani-
cal composition which no other inventor
ever climbed over.
1t sets up $500 ems an hour and does it for
twenty-four hours in the day If necessary,
never having to stop to distribute as the
