A. d. Smiths Performances Ac-
Cepted BY Eastern Authorities.
1t has been decided by the Eastern
skating authorities that the recent TWEEN
ty-fiye and fifty-mile events. which took
place in this city, are acceptable as rec
Ords, after making some corrections on
account of incorrect track measure
mentS.
1t appears that the course at the Ed.
gertOn street rink was measured one
meter from the inside line of the track,
and, as this was the European standard,
ii was supposed by the local skaters that
this measurement would be all right
According to those measurements. the
distances OF the Twenty-Five and fifty
miles were fully covered. The Amer
lean authorities, however, require that
the measurements be taken One-half
meter from the inside line, and, upon
that basis, the distance Skated appears
somewhat short. 1t was therefore de-
cded that the events could not be ac-
cepted as records for the full distance
of twenty-five and fifty miles. but they
Will be allowed after making the neceS-
Sary deductions in track measurements.
The decision is announced in a printed
A d. Smith. from the Spirit Of the
Times, the official organ of the National
Amateur Skating Association of
America, and is as follows: "ln answer
TO several questions concerning the per
fOrmanceS recently made by Mr.. y. ID.
Smith, OF ST. Paul. MIMI, at p and 81
miles, we state that our refusal to put
them in the record tables was solely on
account Of errors in track measurement.
We are fully convinced that the scOr-
ing and timekeeping were correct. and
that MI. Smith is entitled to full credit
for the announced time, with necessary
deductions for incorrect track measure
ment. He should be credited with
skating 10 miles, 2.4G925 feet in 3:22 30,
which IS better than any previously re-
corded performance, except that made
10y j. +. DOnOghue at Stamford, Conn.
Jan. IS, 1898.
Dir. Smiths tWenty-fve-milep perform
ance on March Is open to the same OBJ
lection only, and is a genuine record
with the necessary correction in track
measurement. He is entitled to credit
for skating ~ miles 1874 80 feet il
1:29:5L This is two minutes and two
seconds slower than J. f. Donoghue':
worlds record for twenty four miles
and one minute and thirty-twO second:
faster than J. f. Donoghue's world.
record for twenty-five miles AS Don
Oghue did not skate the first 1874 81
feet Of his twenty-five miles in I'm , sec
and as Smith could easily have kept Oh
and Skated l.405 l-G feet in less than II

MISSIONARY MALTREATED.
COreans Nearly Kill a Catholic
Priest and ComDanions.

SAN FRANCISCO March 23.-AccOrding
to Coreau advices, Father NJ. Jozeau, a
Catolic missionary, was horribly NAL
treated by a mob recently. He was
passing on foot through the market
town of Kinchlen, accompanied by a
teacher and boy. AS soon as the
crowd recognized him there were shouts
of kill the foreigner; stone him."
Then they threw themselves upon the
priest, knocked him down and kicked
him numerically. After the mob had
torn ont his beard they beat him and
then tried to bury him alive in the sand.
At last, somewhat alarmed at the con-
sequences of a possible murder, always
a serious matter in COrea, the mob dis
persed, leaving the missionary and his
companions half-dead on the ground.

seized the audacious John and hurried
him Off to the county Jail. 1t was

Chinaman or the mob. Finally,
he was lodged safely in jail

Youths Companion.
Early rising was frequent subject Of
contention between Nahum Briggs and
his wife. Her ability to wake i'll season
for an "early start" was a question often
mooted by Nahum, and the result was
that all responsibility of waking fell
upon him.
SO it CHANGED that one night, when it
seemed to Mrs. Briggs as if her tired
eyes had but just closed, Nahum
spoke up briskly: Come, Lucy, come;
time ter git up. It's all habit. sleepln'
so much. The ROSTERS are CROWN IN
good shape"
His wife rubbed her heavy lids and
rose reluctantly. The clock had stopped,
but Nahum said it was nearly 6, for
there was a light in "Bunker's shop"
anG he usually opened the store at that
time.
Soon the kettle was steamlng cheerlly,
and while breakfast was being prepared
Hahum took his lantern and went out to
do the chores" He watered and fed his
stock and returned to eat hearty morn
ing meal.
Then they sat down to wait the first
streak of dawn, but after an hour 1T
seemed, if anything, darker than be-
fore.
Amt it terrible long comm light,
think?" asked Mrs. Briggs, as to carp
ing judge.
"0h, I'm used ter bein' up to greet the
day." shifted Nahum. II guess the sun
will be round on time"
Soon his wife looked out again.
"For the love of John Turner!' she
exclaimed. Bunker has put out his
light am is goin' home. Do go out an
hail him, an find what time it is"
Its day time, tell ye," said Nahum,
but he went out and mailed his neigh
Dor.
II dunno exactly" said Mr.. Bunker,
with some moderation, "but when |
shut up shop l think it was bout 10
o'clock.
Then Nahum came in and shut the
door.
While Mrs. Briggs prepared for sec
ond nights rest,he wound the clock and
set it. She noticed that he took de-
cided comfort in winding it more Vigor-
ously than seemed quite necessary.

SOLDIERS DISSATISFIED
Over One Provision of the Army
Augmentation BIZ.

WASHINGTON, March 23.--The army
appropriation bill passed by the last
congress contained the provision that
no private shall be re-enlisted who has
served ten years or more OF who IS over
thrty-tive years of age, except such has
already served for twenty years or up
wards. kilograms are already coming
to hand from Western points stating
that this provision is causing dissatis-
faction among enlisted men, ana tnat
they are applying for discharges. No
Official complaints have yet reached the
department. Officials. however, regard
it as unfortunate legislation, and say that
congress took the action against the ad-
vice of the department. 1t is hard on OLD
soldiers and may cause dissatisfaction
among them. Officers feel pretty GER
tain that the new law will prove detrl-
mental to the service, and IL Is possible
the next congress may be asked TO re-
peal the law. Numerous objections are
pointed out. 1t prevents enlisted men
being retired, rObs them Of increased
pay for enlistment, and prevents them
from becoming inmates OF the soldiers
home after twenty years service. Inc
last is a serious objection, as l215 cents
per month are taken from the pay OF
each enlisted man to support the sold
iers' homes, to which ne has right to
retire after twenty years service. Oil
GERS question the power OF the govern
ment 10 retain this money now that re-
enlistment at the expiration OF twenty
years is prohibited.

Tertiary.

Tertiary.
LOUISVILLE, March 23.-FIre broke
out in the saddle tree shop in the In
diana state prison south, at Jefferson
vile, shortly after IL O'Clock this
morning, and for time the entire
prison was threatened with destruction.
The origin of the fire was from an over
heated furnace, used in drying material
for the manufacture of saddle trees.
The building is an old structure, built
of brick and wood, about thirty feet in
width and nearly 200 feet long. This
structure was soon in ashes, and
the flames spread to the dining
hall ana the new cell houses.
The fire was at last brought under con-
troll. The northwest wing is practically
destroyed. and the new cells house
damaged to the extent of $4,000. The
saddle tree shop was operated by NJ. G..
Clagett, of Louisville, whose loss is
$4,000; partially insured. The total
loss to the state is $4,000, with no in
surance. There are over GOO cOnvlctS
in the prison, and the excitement among
the officers and cOnvictS was intense.
