sCOTLAND's GREAT GOLFER.
"Tom" Morris, Who Was Four Times
Great Britain's Champion.

From the New York Times.
The question has sometimes been asked
by persons whose enthusiasm for golf Is
greater than their knowledge of 1t, whether
old people can play the game. The query
is not so surprising in this country, where
the royal game is yet in its infancy.
In America golf is covering field which
has never been fully utilized by any branch
of sport. 1t has opened a field of exercise
and amusement in which the elements of
genuine sport are present in all their COM
petitive features, and this field is being
largely occupied by men and women of the
middle age of life. The young men who
play tennis, the college athlete, and the
long-haired football player are not seen
to any extent on the golf course. But the
tendency Is that when they have run the
course of these more active youthful eX-
ertions, they will pick up the golf club and
become enthusiasts, If not actually experts.
If, however. any contradiction We're need
ed that old age is not as eligible to enter
the game as any younger period. attention
need only be called to the past achieve
ments and the present abilities of Tom"
Morris, 'old Tom Norris, as he is more
fondly called. the most celebrated and be-
loved golfer probably in the world. For
years Tom Morris has been an interest
ing character in England, as well in
Scotland, his native home and where all
of his golfing honors have been won.
Tom Morris has been nurtured and
brought up on the golf links. He learned
the game as caddie over the famous st.
Andrews links, and as soon as he was able
he entered the professional ranks.
Although now his days of big matches
and championships are over, he is the ac-
knowledged peer of professionals. He is
now il his seventy-fifth year. a hale hearty,
soft, and kindly natured old Scotchman,
whose entire life and ambition have been
bounded by the horizon of golf links. And
just at the present time throughout all the
golf clubs of Scotland and England, par
ticular interest is being centered in this
grand old golfer from the fact that the st.
Andrews Club has started q movement to
present a fitting testimonial to Tom" Nor
ris in recognition of his long and valuable
life services to the cause of golf. This

this reversal of the sexes. Perhaps it is
because woman is everything in Paris-and
man is everything in London. The Pari-
sian spends all his fine ingenuity and taste
in helping out, criticising and confirming
the fancies of the beloved object. He has
little energy left for his own adornment,
which, when too perfectly accomplished, Is
apt to be of an almost too feminine nicely.
In London, where women regularly dress
like frishts, the men are so fine and brave
because their ladies sit up nights and think
out combinations for them.
All this leads to the question Of the
treatment of women-the most important
question of the age. according to the last
chapter of Mr.. Lecky. In London women

is the result? Waiter girls in grill rooms,
lunch roor1s and tea rooms receive few
tips and no compliments. The demeanor of
the male customer Is cold and business

As to shop girls waiter girls and the rest,
they are treated like women in Paris at
least. and not like horses or machines. And

intentions-I seem to kindlier figure.
What l am trying to say Is that the aver

walk and conversation. places all the onus
of all improperly upon the weaker vessel.
In the same way 1t Is bad form to smoke
in public in London. Yet there are no great
err smokers in the world.
1t takes some time to get used to London
living. SO far. have only found two ways
for the transient foreigner. One Is to take
cheap board in the neighborhood of Blooms
bury Square and spend all the savings SO
made in extra cab fares. The other is to

These restaurants are at once the delight
and the despair of continental foreigners.

Washington, against the rebel invading
army. If the enthusiasm which that melody
inspires in the young men and boys in the
galleries of our theaters means applause
for the efforts made to destroy this country
and ruin its people. then 1t does not show
a very high order of intelligence. 1t GER
tainly does not show patriotism to the flag
which is now the emblem of greatness and
power wherever it floats. If 1t is applause
for the Union words adapted by Winner
to that music, then it is patriotic. If it Is
merely the spirit of young men to applaud
bravery on the rebel side, then it is COM
mendable, for bravery leads to an intelli-
