MISS L. POTTER WINS.
Exciting Final Round in the Ladies'
Singles at Tennis.
THE FINEST PLAY OF THE SEASON.
Miss HcKennsn and Mr.. s. ". B. hoorhead
First in the Doubles.
THE END OF A SUCCESSFUL TOURNEY

Miss Laura Potter, of Williamsburg, yes
terday afternoon demonstrated her ability
to defeat ali comers at ladies' singles 1t
was close contest between her and Miss
Nan Chambers, and as exciting a game of
tennis as has been played here this year.
There was a large crowd present, the ma
iority of them friends of Miss Chambers,
who Is member of the Pittsburg club but
they were generous with their applause
toward each, and when Miss Potter placed
one bali after another out of Miss Cham
bers' reach they accorded her tho approba-
tion she merited.
1t was evident from the start that it
would be no walkOver for either of the
players, but when in the first set Miss
Potter took six out of the ten games it was
considered an indication of the final result.
Miss Chambers did not give up, however,
and assumed the aggressive in the second
set, which she won by her successful efforts
in placing. Then came the final set and this
was most exciting. Miss Potter took the
first two games. Then Miss Chambers cap
tured one. Miss Potter tnen made the score
OF games to l, but Miss CHANGERS braced up
and took the next three games, making the
score to in her favor.
Miss Potter Played Tennis.
At this point Miss Potter played a game
that meant she would win. She had dfscov-
cred the weak point of her adversary and
she put the balls to Miss Chambers left one
after another, occasionally sending one to
the extreme right out of Miss Chambers
reach. She took the next two games. max
ing 5to4 in her favor. Then Miss Cham
bers captured game, but Miss Potter in
the last two games scored points by good
placing and won the set and match. 1t WAS
q very pretty piece of playing, good gener-
alship and successful placing.
OF tho two Miss Chambers has the better
style of stroke but sne Was less steady than
Miss Potter and was less successful in put
ting the ball beyond her reach. She is IN e1-
ceedingly graceful player and next season
after more practice under the guidance OF
experts will make n better showing. Miss
Potter's strength of play lies in her ability
to put the bali whore she desires. She Is
active and seldom allows a ball to get past
her, and in the last set she developed a con-
siderable amount OF speed that was not OBJ
servable earlier III the contest. Miss Cham
bers' stroke Is productive of moro speed
than that possessed by Miss Potter, but the
uncertainty of it under pressure gave the
advan taxe to Mias Potter. 1t will be inter-
esting TO observe the play OF both ladies
next year, since both intend to train hard.
There WAS but one bit of active voleying
yesterday and Miss Potter cane on best in
that.
A Comparison of the Play.
A comparison OF the points, ETC., made by
each is as follows:

"Have you taken any action regarding
the removal of Labor Commissioner Peck,
Governor"
mo, sir; 1 am not entirely familiar yet
with the facts in the case u"
"Have you the resignation of Mr.. Peck
in your hands?"
''Yes, have had Mr.. Peck's resignation
in nv hands since last winter. but have
never considered il. If Mr.. Peck has COM
mitted misdemeanor in destroying public
documents he has saved ME the necessity of
accepting his resignation"
Regarding the internal machine sent to

CITY, the Governor said: Last Wednesday
night received letter telling me was to
receive a package, which was not to be
opened bv me until it had been soaked in
water. The writer said: DO not think

regret it the rest Of your lite"
After reading the letter the police were
notified by instructions from the Govern or,
and when the box arrived the detectives
took charge of it The Governor said he
had not seen the box at all. 1t was an

been soaked in water, would have un-

"Seator Hill feels SORE" said Senator Car
Isle to-day. 81 have been thinking right
along that Cleveland was going to win, and
1 still think so; but, as 1 said, Mr.. Hill is

Suppose Hill is placated?"
"Even so, there are men behind him who
will not be placated; men like Peck, who
will not help Cleveland, but who would like
to see him defeated. At least, there is .
sentiment to that effect. 1 saw Mr.. Cleve.

great deal if he wants to do so, but they say
it will be impossible for him TO bring sucn
men as Peck to vote for Mr.. Cleveland.

like Mr.. Cleveland. On the contrary. they
dislike him very much and there are among
them men who will do anything they can
to defeat him."

cosmetic controversy on hand
RULED BY BRIGANDS.
THE ENTIRE ISLAND GF SICILY OVER
RUN WITH THEM.

A United States Consul Recalled for Re-
Horrible Barbarity Practiced Upon All
Ages and Conditions of People.
LONDON, Sept. IA British Consul at
Palermo, in his report to the foreign Office,
gives startling details regarding brigand-
age. The whole island of Sicily, he says,
is infested with bands of robbers, who cap
ture large landed proprietors and rich NOR
chants and hide them in caves in the mount
aims until they are ransomed. Farmers are
plundered of horses and cattle, while peas
ants who are suspected of being informers
are prosecuted, tortured or murdered. out
right Great land owners living within
four hours of Palermo are afraid to remain
on their estates unless they are surrounded
by private mounted guards
The band led by Samauw is the most ter
rible of all the numerous gangs on the ISL
and. Their immunity from punishment is
due entirely to the supineness of the Gov
ernment. This band has committed many
murders characterized BY the greatest
cruelty. Even children have not escaped
them. They have beheaded little boys and
girls, cut their bodies in halves and then
thrown the mutilated remains about the
country for dogs and hogs to eat Many
land owners who have incurred the enmity
of the brigantls have been treacherously as
sassinated, while others who have fallen
into their hands have been condemned to
death by slow torture.
The difficulty in trying to suppress these
outrages is due to the fact that a large num-
Der of the people provide the brigands with
supplies at high prices and are, therefore,
unwilling to give any information that
would lead to their capture In other cases,
where the peasants might give information,
they are terrified by threats of vengeance
Some time ago the American Consul at
Palermo made a report similar to the above
to the State Department at Washington.
When it became known that an American
Consul had made the report, the Italian
Government Indignantly denied his state
ments and privately demanded of the
United States Government his recall This
demand was complied with. No one ac-
quainted with the facts has the slightest
doubt that the report of the American Of
fetal was correct in every particular.

A SENSELESS PANIC.
The Run on the Birkbeck Bank Entirely
Without Cause-Some Foolish Acts of
the Depositors-How a Months Interest
Was Lost
rBY CABLE TO THE D1sPArcH.l

rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPArcH.l
LONDON, Sept 17.-London has had a
panic this week, just as senseless though
not as contemplate as that which prompted
the Fire Island inhumanities The run on
the Birkbeck Bank was one of
the most extraordinary spectacles that
the history of finance can furnish.
The institution was absolutely sound 1t
held about $50, 900, 900 belonging to 80, 900
depositors, and it carried a large surplus.
Its investments were not in real estate, but
in the best high-class securities
so we'll placed were its funds that the
bank could have liquidated in a weeks
time, pail every obligation and retained
good balance. There was not even a single
definite rumor attacking its credit afoat,
but three or four building society
banks had stopped payment within
day or two, and few score of the Birk-
beck's depositors thought it would be
mark of prudence to put their money in
stocking instead of in the Birk beck vaults
That was enough. The next day there was
a mad riot outside the banks doors.
Absolute proof of security had not the
slightest effect, and for two days the excite
ment continued Then it subsided almost
as suddenly as it began, after about SS, 000,-
The affair was full of absurdities. One
man struggled for ten hours to get into the
bank and draw IS shillings There were
dozens like him. An cid woman had no
. sooner drawn her savings than she was in
despair to know what to do with
her money. The cashier suggested that
she put it in her shoe. She tried
but failed. The end of it was that the
obliging clerk accomplished the feat for
her and she went off in triumph. A fussy
little tat man from Suffolk travelled to Lon
don crushed with the crowd and drew out
e., 800, which he Immediately paid in again.
He was no bunco steerer but he declared
he did this to show his confidence. 1t cost
him one months interest.
1t must be said, however. that the gen.
eral financial situation in London is by no
means satisfactory. Scarcely day passed
this week without the announcement of the
suspension of some semi-public institution.
The position of all speculative concerns, it
is not too much to say, Is precarious.
Scores of them are closing their doors, and
their places will not be filled until conf
dence has been fully restored.

PUGILISM In SOCIETY.
A FIGHT TO A FINISH BETWEEN TWO
BEAUX OF ST. LOUIS.

The Challenge Issued by a Minister'S Son to
Scion of the Garrison Family-six
Bloody Rounds in q Stable-A Swell
Crowd Present.
ST. LOUIS, Sept II. : [SpeeaL St
Louis social circles are in fever of excite
ment over prize fight between two of the
most prominent representatives of the
most exclusive set in the city. Young Mr..
Charles Randall Garrison, of the Commo-
dore Garrison family OF St. Louis, and young
Mr.. William Snyder, son of Rev. John
Snyder, OF the Unitarian Church of the
Messiah of this city, both swell bank clerks
and prominent in the highest society cir
cles, were the principals. The fight took
place in a livery stable, behind closed
doors.
Young SNYDER smartine under indignities
challenged young Garrison. 1t was agreed
that the fight should be to a finish with
hve-ounce gloves, Marquis of Queensberry
rules, with four-minute rounds and one
minute rests between. Invitations were
issued to 35 members of the Garrison
Snyder "coterie" and all accepted. Conse-
quently the gathering was brilliant one.
The first two rounds were about equal in
points of advantage to the swell pugilists.
In the third round Snyder Knocked Garri-
son down bv terrific blow in the face The
fourth round saw Garrison come to the fronts a
favorite for the first time In the fight He
scored a knock-down on SNYDER. In the
fifth round both men showed signs of being
winded. Both were bloody. and Snyder's
left eye was nearly closed. At the end of the
round he drank freely of ice water, COM
planning to his seconds of feeling weak. In
the sixth round Garrison hit for the stomach
and Snyder doubled up and dropped like
log. For a few minutes there was
excitement; despite all efforts Snyder failed
to be brought to-" At last he opened his
eyes to the great delight OF the frightened
gathering. He was too weak to walk and
he was sent home in carriage.

a MIDNIGHT RAID IN IRELAND

Furnishes Redmond With a Ground OF
Complaint to Secretary Morley.
LONDON, Sept. E.-William H. Red
mond, the Psrnellite who represents East
Claire in the House of Commons has writ
ten a letter in reference to midnight ex.
pedition of police and bailifs to seize cattle
belonging to tenants on the Bodykee
estate in Glare. Mr.. Redmond de-
scribes himself as an anxious but
peaceful writer, but says he must point out
to Mr. Morley that sending armed police at
night to hunt cattle Of poor people who
under stress OF circumstances are unable to
meet full demands OF their landlord, is
likely to cause extreme irritation and ex-
citement
He concludes by declaring that unless the
Government stops these midnight raids the
people will be driven wild.
