Kenney, the present champion Of the
United States and Canada at both dis
tances, belongs to the Philadelphia Ath-
letic Swimming club. He was born al
St. Kilda, near Melbourne, about % years
ago, and took to the water as naturally
as the proverbial duck. When only 9
years old he won a race for boys and In
1884 wrested the Australian champion
ship FROM Walter McIndoe. Kenney
successfully defended his title twice
against E. Cavill, one Of the best swim
mers In the antipodes.
KenneT then sailed for Philadelphia
ana began course in dentistry at the
University Of Pennsylvania, where he
soon demonstrated that he had long ago
cut his eyeteeth as swimmer.
From that day Kenney swept every
thing before him. He won the At

There is a satisfaction in learning the

planets. The stars apparently never
change so far as their position relative
to each other is concerned. The planets
are always moving, and to those who do
not watch the heavens with particular
attention it is a cause of surprise very
often to find a s'new star" adjoining a

of General MyeT. chief of the signal sery-
ice of the army, who selected Professor
Able as his principal assistant. 1t was
his duty to prepare the predictions
which were published under the head Of

original of that popular suplosititious
character, "Old Probabilities" The val

be made to it is to estimate from the
damage that a storm has 1-nr the dam
age it might have done but for his fore
warning, and the aggregate for the num-
berless storms he has predicted would
be incomprehensible.
Professor Able was born III New York
city Dec. 3, 1888, and graduated from
what is now the College Ut the City OF
New York in 1857. He studied astron-
omy at Michigan university, where he

The Cherry Diamond Is about to sink into
oblivion. The club house will be closed and
sold. and one OF the most noted athletic organi-
cations that was ever formed will pass out OF
existence.
For months rast the members have been
struggling to extricate the club from the over
whelming debt that has horne 1t down. They
have utterly failed, and there is nothing left
but n receivers sale and dissolution.
Last night the membors were called to-
Cether to make final effort to save the club.
II was generally understood that unless sue
cess crowned their efforts there was little uso
OF continuing the struggle.
Probably 200 members gathered in the thea
tire Of the club last night and made desperate
effort to raise the remainder OF the S2OO.0Oo
fund that is absolutely necessary in order to
put tho club on it's feet.
After vigorous canvass 1t was found that
the subscriptions amounted to only $1,000.
which inside atotal subscription OF S165.0OO.
The prospects OF getting that sum are slim.
In fact there are no prospects. and those who
