quickness of intellect and rare enthu-

The task was committed to him of de-

warned by his doctor against his habit of
working at night. He did not suffi-

removed his lamp and all means of OBJ
tanning a light at night, in order to

HIS REV ARD.

He Served Jay Gould Faithfully
and Was Well Paid.
New York Press.
Gen. Clark was for a long time vice
president and general manager of the
Missouri Pacific. Mr.. Clark is said to
be a most efficient and capable railroad
man. He entered the service of Jay
Gould more than twenty years ago.
Here is an authentic story which reveals
one Of Mr.. Gould'S many traits. MI.
Clark was never a money saver. Up to
a few years ago all the money he had in
the world outside of his salary was
81, 200. A friend said to him one day:
''Why don't you give Mr.. Gould your
$1,000 and ask him to make turn in
stocks for you?"
Mr.. Clark decided to act on the sug
gestion. The next time Mr.. Gould
came out over the road on tour of in
spection Mr.. Clark handed his check
for $1,000, saying: "Mr. Gould, here's
a little money L have saved, and would
De glad, if it isn't too much trouble to
you, if you would invest it for me. Mr..
Gould took the check and placed it in
his vest pocket without saying a word.
A year passed and MI. Clark heard
nothing from his $1,000 investment. Ii
his thoughts could have been trans
ferred to paper they would have read
like this: Il presume the old man has
forgotten about my little check. Prob
ably the money has been lost and he did
not care to mention it. Well, | never
could say anything anyway, so it does
not matter" A few days later MI.

100 MILES ON SKATES.
The Approaching Contest to Be
Decided in ST. Paul.

Arrangements are rapidly being COM
pleted for the 100-mile skating race,
which was proposed a short time ago,
and it is almost certain that the event
will occur at the Edgerton street rink
on WaShiDgton's birthday. Nothing
but unfavorable weather will cause a
failure. Everything so far indicates
that the event Will be the leading feat
ure of Inc winter in the line of outdoor
sports in this section, and great deal
of interest has been aroused.
The fastest skaters OF the city have
already entered, and the names of Pan
nell, Bird, Smith, Crawford, Martin and
others are sufficient to give promise of a
royal struggle.
While distance of 100 miles has not
yet been definitely decided upon, 1t is
likely that that will be the length, as a
majority of those already entered seem
to favor it.
Pannell and Bird are the favorites.
and both seem confident that they can
finish The contest. Smith will probably
only enter with the intention of going
fifty miles, and making that distance in
the best time possible.
A merely nominal admission fee will
be charged spectators. and 30 or 90 per
cent of the gate receipts will be used in
the purchase of trophies for the WIN
ners.
1t is likely that all of those who start
will do considerable training for the
event, and several of the leading con-
testantS are to take trial spins of from
four to thirty miles this morning at the
Edgerton street rink.

ATHLETIC CONVENTION.
Proposed National Organization
of Prize Fighting Clubs.

MILWAUKEE, Feb. ia movement
is now under way for holding a~conven-
ton in this city from near
ly all the athletic clubs in
the country. The clubs which will
send representatives are mostly those
which pay particular attention to
fostering pugilism, and the OBJ
iect of the convention will be to
form. national organization. This
organization will result in some
agreement between the clubs as to the
size of purses to be offered and other
agreements which will tend to protect
the clubs in their dealing with profess
Sional boxers. For instance, ma
tional black list will be agreed
upon whereby pugilist guilty of I'M
fair fighting OF "faklng" can be de-
barred from appearing at any of the
clubs upon expulsion by one club. ap-
proved by the national board. In
great many ways the organization will
be similar to that of the trotting and
running horse associations. Another
object of the convention will be to en-
deavOr to secure uniform legislation
in the various states regarding
legitimate boxing entertainments.
Letters have been sent by the secretary
of the Milwaukee Athletic and Boxing
club to the presidents of all the
large clubs in the country, and
many favorable replies have been
received. The Milwaukee Athletic
and Boxing club is composed of swell
young men of this city, and the presi-
dent is the cashier of one of the leading
banks. The convention here will be
held during the worlds fair.

b. & o. SECRET SERVICE.
An Ingenious Continuance for Use
in the TeieoraDh DeDartment,

An Ingenious Continuance for Use
in the Telegraph Department.
Baltimore American.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad COM
pany has adopted an ingenious contriv-
ance for use in the telegraph depart
ment, and workmen were yesterday en-
gagged, under the direction of Supt.
Charles Selden. in putting in a little
plant in the basement of Camden sta
ton, where the men employed at head
quarters can become familiar with its
use.
There are along the various lines of
the great Baltimore q Ohio system
scores of Offices where the agent is also
the telegraph operator. His duties as
agent frequently call him so far away
from his instrument that it is impos-
slble. under the present systemic make
him hear his call when it is desired to
communicate with him. The new de-
vice is so arranged that in all offices
where these circumstances exist bell
will be placed, and the operator at ter
minal or division headquarters can call
the operator wanted without informing
ANY other office on the line, no matter
how many offices there may be which
have these bells in them.
AS telegr;ph lines are operated at
present-if, for example, the Baltimore
office desires to call the Wheeling wv.
Va.) office, nearly 400 miles away-the
call passes through every intermediate
office, but under the new system the
turning of a switch will cut out all the
offices eXceptsthe one wanted.
The system will also be applied to
those offices where the amount of BUSH
ness done at night is not sufficient to
Justify the employment of a night oper-
atOr. and where the day operator re-
sides in the depot building, there being
instances when it is desirable, from
various causes. to communicate with
the operator after the close of the regu-
lar business hours. The invention is
the result of over twenty years of eX-
perimenting, and the combination of
more than twenty patents.
The contrivance is the New York
electric secret service system. The
transmitter at the central point is oper-
ated by an ordinary telegraph key. This
transmitter can send out any combina-
ton of dots, dasheS and spaces. At
each station there are instruments so
arranged that they will respond only to
the particular combination for which
they are arranged.
When the operator at the central sra
ton desires is call up a station along the
line, he places the key where it will
make the necessary combination that
cuts out all other stations but the one he
wants. This causes bell at the station
he calls to ring, and at the same time
operates magnet which causes an
answering signal to sound in the central
station. He thus knows that his call
was audible at the station he desires to
communicate with. The bell at this
station will continue to ring until the
operator answers, and If no answer is
made the bell will ring all. day.

Gould turned up again on another tour
OF inspection. After he had finished his
business with Mr.. Clark and was pre-
pairing to leave he put his hand in his
Waistcoat pocket and drew out Mr..
Clark's check for $1,000, which he had
given to him year before.
"Ah,' said Mr.. Clark to himself, II
am going to get my money back after
all. That is something to be thankful
for"
"Mr. Clark" said Mr.. Gould, in his
quiet way, you gave me your check
for 81 200 year ago to invest for you.
| did not need the check, but l had
$1,000 placed to your credit on my
books" Turning to his private secre-
tary he said: ''Please give MIR. Clark
a statement of this account" This
statement made Mr.. Clark jump with
JOY. 1t showed net profit of 100000
on his $1,000 investment.
"Mr. Could" said my informant,
knew that Clark had served him faith
fully for many years, and that he had
saved practically nothing. He accord
ingly took this way to reward him and
show his appreciation of his years of
devotion to his interests"

JOHNSON IN THE EAST.
The Minneapolis Skater Will
Enter the Red Bank Races.

NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-THE Western
skaters, John johnson and Oluf Rudd,
accompanied by their manager, Il. W.
Eek, arrived In New York from Mime
apolis today. They went on to Red
Bank, N. j. Eck's statement that
both men were III faultless condition
was fully borne out by their appear
ance. Although both Minneapolis skat-
ers are entered for all four champion
ships, the events in which they will
absolutely compete will not be decided
upon until they have investigated the
condition of ice at Red Bank and the
programme. AS far as Joe Donoghue is
concerned, he will regulate his compe-
tition by Johnson. The Newburg boys
avowed intention was to cenfine his OPP
position to johnson and Norseng, should
the latter also compete. The entry OF
Jordan, Montreal A. A., received today,
will contribute to the interesting un-
certainty OF the issue. If no colder
weather sets in before tomorrow Gus
Walton will notify all competitors
and officials to assemble at Red Bank
Monday night, as it may be found nee
essary to hold the races before the sun
gets high Tuesday morning.

The Teachers Needed Lessons.

Eastern Exchange
The eighty-fye teachers in the public
schools of Lockport had a spelling con-
test the other day, to the great delight
of their pupils. because some of the
teachers did not altogether cover them
selves with glory. OF the eighty-fve,
only five spelled "Rensselaer" correctly,
and "A per cent of the whole number
misspelled acknowledgment" All of
the following words were wrongly
spelled by more than half of the teach
erS, and several of them by more than
fifty: "Supersede," "resuscitative,"
excellence" benefited" business"
''pretentious," gaseous and "con-
cede." The name "Genesee" is said to
have caught good many victims.

The Next Race Between Pannell
and Smith.

Inc Next race Between FanneIA
and Smith.
When Pannell and Smith come to-
gether next Friday evening at the Edg-
erton street rink, for their final and de-
Gliding contest, in three-mile race, it is
expected that the event will result in
one of the greatest amateur races ever
held in this city. Pannell only captured
the first race after a hot struggle. in
which he was compelled to skate at his
utmost speed from start to finish, and in
the second race Smith seemed to skate
with far greater ease, although at the
finish there was mot over fifteen feet
between them, so. in their final strug-
gle, one of the closest and most excit
ing contests of the winter is assured.
Seldom, if ever, have two men been
more closely matched, and never will
two contestants come to the line each
more fully determined to win. The men
have been IN constant practice for some
time, and each will train as carefully as
possible during the coming week in
order to toe the scratch in perfect con-
dition. The men are competing for
handsome gold trophy.

HALL IS CONFIDENT
That He Will Best Fitzsimmons in
Their Contest.


LAKEWOOD, N. j., Feb. II. - If
physical condition and confidence can
be taken as a criterion of pugiliSt'S
capabilities, jim Hall should certainly
win the victory on March s, when he
and Bob FltzSimmons will contend be-
fore the Crescent City Athletic club at
New Orleans for the extraordinarily
large purse of $40, 0O0 No man has ever
entered the ring, it is safe to say, with
more hope of defeating his opponent
than will Jim Hall Oh the night of the
fight.
'If | did not think I would have
fighting chance with a man, | wouldn't
be foolish enough to enter into a match,
with him." Hall said to reporter who
saw him at his quarters here
Il think | can best Fitz, and if |
don't, presume he will any way have
a vivid remembrance, when it is all
over, that he has gone up against some
thing akin to cyclone"
John Kline, of Wisconsin, who has
the reputation of never training a loser,
and who has trained such men as Jack,
McAulltfe, Ike Weir and Tommy
Warren, is supervising HALLS train
ing. Hall, he said, is the most unique
character for training he ever had
charge OF. He leaves his little cottage
at 6 o'clock every morning. accompanied
by Kline, and takes gentle spin of
several miles, and then ne walks rap
idly to his training quarters, which
are about half-mile distance from the
cottage, and begins hard work at Z
o'clock. After using the dumb-bels
and Indian clubs Hall stands up to his
full height and has Kline pound
him in the stomach until exhaustion
compels him to desist When this work
is finished Hall adjusts a heavy trap
about his forehead and lifts two dumb
bells, each weighing forty pounds,
up and down several times. He
takes a hearty dinner at II or 1
o'clock, and in the afternoon he goes
skating and punches the bag. Some
times, too. Hall and Kline wrestle, but
Hall has not yet accomplished the feat
of downing his trainer. Hall now
tips the beam at los pounds. 1t
he should lose this tight, Hall
says that he can yet make consider
able money by whipping at least dozen
men of his weight. For each fight lie
is sure of getting $1,000 or $1,000 purse.
