Billiard Experts Trying to Devise a
More Difficult Game.
SEVERAL NEW STYLES OF PLAY
Have Been Discussed-Spinks' In
vention Proves Failure.
Wizard Schaeffer Designs a
New Game-Yesterday's Rae
ing and the Entries for To day.
General Sporting News.

CHICAGO, December 24.-During the
last two weeks more or less attention
has been devoted to the problem pre-
sented by the billiard games between
Schaefer and Ives, which contest proved
to the satisfaction of all that the time
had arrived when a change in the sys-
tenn of bslk line billiards for the expert
professional players was necessity.
Several suggestions have already been
made, aud Spinks, the California pupil
of Jake Schaefer, evolved one which
consisted Of abolishing the lines to the
cushions on the short rails at both ends
OF the table. He substituted a single
line drawn TO the centre Of the short
rails, but this was quickly found to be
failure and was abandoned.
Then Schaefer suggested cutting OIL
all the lines to the cushions at the head
.and foot of the table, and this is the
idea which has been tested at different
rooms for the last few days. But even
this plan does not seem to answer as
we'll as was expected. Schaefer has
been able to make high runs OF three
figures at nssrly every practice game
be has played al this particular style.
1t is now proposed to try another
theory, which was presented TO the bill
lizard world several years ago, but which
az the time it was introduced was con-
sidered far too difficult for even such
players as Schaefer and Slosson, who
were the premier bilisrdists at that
time. The game referred to is known
as the space game, and Schaefer and
Hatley will give it thorough test at
Harry Rhines's rooms this evening.
The space game consists Of four lines
drawn frem the center of each cushion
to the centre Of the opposite one, thus
dividing the table into four equal
epaces. The player is allowed five shets
within each space. but on the sixth shot
one OF the object balls must cross a
line, thus compelling player TO con-
fine himself almost entirely TO open
table work. How this schome will work
can be determined better after Schaefer
and Hatley have given it chance.

TO Parker, man Of iron nerve aud

the court would grant as favor tnat
whatever term OF Imprisonment the
court would inflict that Seeley would
be allowed TO serve it In the hlag
county penitentiary, so that his vile
could visit him.
When the lawyer had finished there
was not sound in the court room ana
Judge Benedict looked at the prisoner
for fully a minute before he spoke.
In few brief sentences he said that
he admired Seeley for pleading guilty,
but the large amount involved ana the
position which Seeley held In the oank
made it necessary for him to indlct
severe sentence In the hope that II
would deter others from following In his
footsteps.
THE sentence of the court Is, )" said
Judge Benedict, that you be impris-
oned in the Kings county penitentlary
for the term of eight years"
Seeley meekly bowed his cad to the
Judge and left the court room with the
deputies.
Seeley by good behavior can earn a
communication Of thirty-two months,
which will reduce Us term OF I'M prison
ment to FIVE years and four months.
He will probably be taken TO the pen
itentiary next Saturday, but Marshal
McCarty said that he might not be sont
there until some day next week.

PARIS, December 24.-In the French
Chamber of Deputies to-day Prime Min
ister Dupuy moved the previous Ques-
tion and in doing so charged that the
internstionalists were attempting to
undermine authority in the army. The
government, he declared, made the
question one OF confidence.
NJ. Jaures said it was audacious for
the Prime Minister to refer 10 interna-
tionalism when the government had
just endeavored to protect gang OF
cosmopolitan exploiters from the mani
fest hostility Of the Chamber.
The reference to the governments
support of the new agreement with the
Southern railway company produced
an uproar.
NJ. Barthou independent Republi-
CAM shouted to M. Jaures: "fou lie."
NJ. Jaures retorted: THE lies is not
with US, but with the government.
which is seeking to play game OF pat
riotism."
NJ. Brisson proposed that NJ. Jaures
be TEN porarily expelled from the Cham
bet for using sucn language, and the
proposition was adopted by large ma
jority.
81. Jaures left the Chamber when the
result of the vote was announced, the
mem bers of the Extreme Left in the
meantime protesting with the utmost
violence against the action Of the Cham
Der. The uproar finally became so
great that the President adjourned
the sitting for five minutes. Upon
the expiration OF this time the
sitting was resumed and Prem
ier Dupuy's motion for the
putting of the previous question was
carried by vote of 437 to s5. Amid
great excitement the government bill
was then carried by an overwhelming
majority. the vote standing 542 TO 5.
NJ. Jaures has challenged DR.. Barthou

Makes Reply TO some OF the Criticisms oil
Hia Racent Report


WASHINGTON, D. c., December "a
Secretary Morton's attention was to-day
called TO the fact shat he was being
criticised, especially by some OF the
Grange papers, for the statements con-
talned in the following paragraph
which appeared toward the close OF MS
last annual report:
When the standard coin Of the repuo-
lie shall be made Of metal worth as
much after IL is melted as it purports TO
be worth in coin and min. value and
the bullion value Of all coined money Is
nearly the same, will not the American
farmer ard all other citizens become
more permanently prosperousY
In reply the Secretary said ne
thought that more an invasion OF the
economic domain, no more discussion
OF finance, than that made by Secretary
Rusk in his report Of 1890, wherein ne
declared: "The recent legislation
looking to the restoration of the oi-
metallic standard of our currency ana
the consequent enhancement OF the
value Of silver has unquestionaoly mad
much to do with the recent advance
ment 10 the price of cereals"
This" SAID Secretary Morton, "re-
ferred TO the sherman law, which mas
recently vanished from the statute
books without having accomplished the
vast rise IN the price Of cereals which
is was prophesled would be a logical Sc
Quence of its enactment"
But the Secretary said he still held
that the farmers with their surplus
products buy money, aRc that 1t Is as
important for them TO demand the high-
est quality in the Honey they buy as IL
Is for the consumers Of farm products
to demaod the highest quality in them.
But" continued the secretary, "ad-
hitting that the American farmer would
get twice as much in silver for the pro-
duct as he does in gold Or we were on
silver hasls) would be not have to pay
for all things which be is obliged TO
purchase likewise twice IS much as he
paws now? Oris it understood that free
coinage is like the protective tarit-so
adjusted as 30 raise the price OF ali the
farmer sells aud lower the price OF all
he has TO buy? Can 1t be possible that
the farmer is gullible enough to believe
that nobody elss's services or products
are to be doubled in value by free coin
age except his Own?"

TO SAVE A CHILD
Three Hundred People Volunteer to Submit
to an OperatiOn-Skin in Abundance
Ofsrsi-Ninety-Si1 Inches Of Cutcle
Grated on the Burned Portion Of the
Little SufFsrer-IS Life Will be Saved.

INDIANAPOLIS, December 24.-Fully
300 Young men aud women assembled
AZ the home Of little FTeda Mahl to-day,
willing TO take part in an heroic skin
grafting operation to save the life OF
the six-year-old girl. For six weeks
the child has endured untold agony on
account OF burns received while playing
about 8 FIRE. Her body was a mass OF
raw burns from above the waist TO the
knees, and her life was despaired OF by
she City Hospital doctors. A month
ago Drs. Feree and Lukenbill took the
case out OF charity, and finally
decided that the little sufferers life
might Be saved by grating about 250
incnes of cuticle. They appealed TO
the public, and this appeal resulted in
bringing the crowd to the home OF the
child, at 10 johnson street, to-day.
The front room of the cottage was
packed with volunteers and large
crowd without awaited notification.
The case has excited general interest
and sympathy, and representatives. OF
the Flower Mission and German Ladies
Aid Societies were present TO see that
the child had every attention in the
way of nursing.
EIGHT YOUNG MIN AT THE START.
Eight young men were selected to
start with. The doctors barred an arm
Of each subject and washed the skin
thoroughly before beginning to cut
Ore doctor drew the skin tight on the
arm aud the other handled the razor.
Not one Of the subjects complained Of
pain. BY a rapid movement OF the keen
edged instrument a strip Of skin was
removed from each about four inches
long and an inch wide. In each case
the volunteers donated three strips.
One young man member OF
the high school foot ball team,
said the operation was less painful than
the injuries received in an ordinary
practice game. The doctors had asked
for volunteers between the ages Of six
teen and twenty five years. Those who
we're stripped were all young men about
twenty wears old. and as healthy look
ing as could be desired. After remov-
Ing the skin il was placed In an anti
septic solution aDd washed before being
applied 10 the body Of the child. As
these strips were laid gently on the raw
surface the sufferer would cry out with
pain. IL was & pathetic sight, as, with
tears iu her eyes, she hugged TO her
breast little doll, one Of the
many presents brought by the numer-
Gus ladies taking an interest in the
case. She has been q patient sufferer
since she received her injuries, and
brave a. all times. Last week several
inches were grated, and only one-tenth
failed 20 take root To-day ninety-siX
additional inches were grated, aud II
tnis does as we'll the child will soOn be
fast nearing recovery. Enough skin
was offered yesterday TO cover the
entire body, but as the operation is so
painful TO the sufferer, the doctors
think IL wise to make progress slowly.
The operation will be cOntinued from
time 20 time until ali the burned por-
tion is covered.
