victories have been won. It is not en-.
tirely creditable to the Athletic club
that they have had some boxing
matches which might almost, properly
be called prize Gghts Several of these
glove contests have not only been very
fierce, but on two occasions Chey have
been bloody battles. Such scenes are
not likely to be repeated.
This Columbia Athletic club main
tains a house for the accommodation OF
it's members which is generally con-
cedcd by experts in such matters OF
architecture to be one of the most com
plete athletic homes in the city, and in
some respects surpassed By none. IT
has been modelled somewhat after the
famous New York club, and so far as
gymnastic apparatus is concerned, is
complete in every detail. The gym
nasium room IS said to be finer even
than that of the New York club, and
the immense swimming pool with
glazed sides of tile and Turkish bath
accompaniments, is an attraction rare
ly found even in the finest houses. The
billiard room, bowling alloys, reception
rooms and library are most attractive
and contain all the latest modern i'm
proyements. The building is an Ina
mense structure of brown. Stone and
pressed brick, the interior finished in
polished oak and its cost exceeded s60,-
900. Some OF the most distinguished
men in the country are members of this
club, and all of them take pride in
their athletic development. None of
them run to namby-pamby dudeisn,
and cigarette smoking Is not regarded
by them as high art. They are strong
men intellectually as well as physical
ly. 1t is good club. SMITH d. Fry.

| the club after Frank Hatton had de-
clined a reelection He presided at all
OF the banquets. He had a president
of the United States at his right hand
at great banquet, as a guest of the
club. Then he announced in news
paper card that the president had been
his personal guest. That made the en-
tire Gridiron club weary. But, later
on, after congress had adjourned, and
whom all the glory of his position was
gone, the gentleman announced at a
meeting of the club that he had expert
enced a severe attack of acute religion
which made him feel that he could no
longer associate with the club. He re-
signed his membership and, of course,
resigned the position of president OF
the club, and told the men who had
honored him that he would pray for
them. The whole affair was so peculiar
nnd 80 apparently farcical, that 1t has
ever been regarded as very hard
practical joke on the eminent GENTLE
men of the Gridiron club, and their
friends often chaff them about it.
There is Press club here, but it Is
not composed exclusively of newspaper
men. However, as it is young and
growing, it may become self-sustain-
ing one of these days, and not de-
pendent upon the fees and patronage
of outsiders. Many young newspaper
men avail themselves of the facilities
of the club for Office purposes, thereby
saving themselves the expense of main
tanning offices, for which they would
be Obliged to pay rent and other in
cidentals, which would eat into their
slender incomes.
Thus it will be seen that there are
good and commendable sides to club
life in this city, and that some of the
features of this phase of existence are
worthy of kindly mention and favor
able consideration. While the clubs
mentioned have been well advertised,
another has come into existence, of
which the world outside of Washing
ton has heard little, but which has
already developed into one of the
marked institutions of the capital city
This is the Columbia Athletic club,
which has its home in one of the finest
and most complete houses in the
United States. The Athletic club of
Washington was organized ten years
ago as an offshoot and addition to the
Columbia Boat club, which had -four
ished for ten years or more. Time and
again the Columbia colors have been
in the van in famous contests on the
Scbuyllxill, the Passaic and the Poto-
mac, and the fondness for athletic
sports engenderca by these victories
encouraged the ambition which result
ed in the formation of the Athletic
club. The active membership of this
organization of brawny young men
now numbers six hundred, and In sport

Sir Henry will not retire from the
court to which he became attached
when he was a young officer of the
guards, toward 1860. He was then
made equerry to theprince consort, and
he was so much liked by the prince that
the queen besought him, in 1870, to be-
come her private secretary. He ac-
copied, and for twenty-four years has
been unceasing in his vigilance for the
queens interests. Being private secre-
tary means managing the queens
estate and intimate affairs, and taking
care of the immense number of boxes of
documents, orders and warrants daily
sent wherever the queen may be resid-

times what it is at present. In what

BOSTON, Dec. 5.-Yesterday Francis L.

The Higginson family is one of the first

three years ago from the banking firm of

children, the eldest about TO enter society,
received little personal attentions from her.
but no one dreamed that she would ever
place in society by boldly deserting all
three.

ELDORA, Ia, Dec. 5.-George Lewis
Clark, Of Lexington, who claims to have
been the original of the character of George
Harris in Mrs. Stoves "Uncle Toms
Cabin was here several years ago with
an Uncle Toms Cabin company, and
as his story was not generally credited
here letter was written to Mrs. Stowe
asking as to the truthfulness OF Clarks
statement. The letter, which is now in the
possession of Ellis ID. Robb of this city,
was as follows:
HARTFORD, March q. 1s9S.-NIr. Robb:
Dear Sir-YOur letter OF the I'D was duly
received. The man you speak OF, George
Lewis Clark, who is going about repre-
senting himself to be the original George
Harris in Uncle Toms Cabin does at
his own presumption. 1 never saw the
man. and don't remember ever having even
heard of him, although l have before re-
ceived letters telling of various individuals
who were going about the country repre-
senting themselves 10 be the originals of
Uncle Tom, or George Harris, as the case
might be. Perhaps this man may be one
of those of whom l have heard before.
But, however that may be, and whoever
he may be, one thing is certainly true
the man was not in my mind at the time
of writing Uncle Toms Cabin Neither ne
nor any other man stood for the character

character. AS nearly as 1 can remembe-,

winners Of the Prizes in the Recent
Contest at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-The judges Of the
horseless vehicle contest met to-day and
carefully considered the claims OF the
motors which competed in the Thanksgiv-
ing day contest. They awarded the gold
medal to the Morris & Salon electrobat, of
Philadelphia, on the following points: Safe
ty, easy of control, absence Of noise, vibra-
ton. heat and odor; cleanliness and gener-
al excellence of design and workmanship.
The first money prize of 900 was awarded
to the Duryea Motor Wagon Company, of
Springfield Mass. This motorcycle came in
first in the road race and also secures
favorable notice for range Of speed and pull
with compactness of design. II. Mueller. OF
Decatur, H., was awarded 81, 500 and is
mentioned for good performance in the road
race and economy in operation. The other
awards were Sturgis electric motorcycle. of

TO RELIEVE DISTRESS.
Red Cross Society May Distribute
Contributions in Armenia.

BOSTON, Dec. IA special meeting or
the prudential committee of the American
Board was held this afternoon for the pur-
post of requesting the Red Cross Society,
of which Clara Barton, of Washington, is
president, TO undertake relief work in Tur-
key, as an International organization. 4
formal request was adopted and will be for
warded to Miss Barton at once. 1t is be-
lieved by those advocating the step that the
organization. being international in its
character, is the one which can successfully
administer Americas relief contributions in
Turkey. A relief ship under its auspices
will be allowed to enter where the fears Of
the Turkish government would allow no
European war ship to CO. The Red Cross
treaty in itself recognizes only relief in
war, yet America, in making UP its own
national body. asked Of the international
head the power to work In great national
and international calamities the same as in
war, and the privilege was granted. Thus
America has by every privilege the right
to act on such state of affairs as now
exists in Turkey, and European countries
can, if they wish, distribute their relief
through the United State Red Cross organ
ization. The fact that Turkey belongs to
the Red Cross organization will favor its
supervision of the relief work in the Turk
iSh empire.

DRUNKEN PENSIONERS.
Scene I'm the Washington Police Court
Mr.. Overstreet's Bill.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Sixty-four men,
crippled or disabled veterans of the war of
the rebellion, stood in the police dock this
morning, showing the stains and the shame
of yesterdays drunkenness and dissipation,
for yesterday was pension day, and the
usual scenes occurred that make every
pension pay day a scene of humiliation.
All told the same story of drawing their
money and then wandering off to fall into
the hands of the vile men and women who
look for this occasion as booty day.
The scene was the most eloquent argument
in behalf OF the bill which Mr.. Overstreet
will introduce tomorrow abolishing the
payment Of pensions on personal applica-
tion and making pensions payable by draft
only. The Department of the Potomac,
G.. A. r., will assist Mr.. Overstreet in
every way. Assistant Secretary of the
Interior Reynolds will also cooperate with
Mr.. Overstreet and has to that end already
prepared for Congress the replies of all
the pension agents. who, in response to
his inquiry, have sent reports favoring the
change of payment as proposed by Mr..
Overstreet. There is every reason to be-
lieve that Mr.. Overstreet's bill will meet
with no opposition in either branch of
Congress.
