Rapid City Journal, g.: Two Mime
sofa men have invented a window device
put Of which they expect to make their
fortunes. One of the things over which
railroad e have puzzled for years is
the matter Of having the air of the car
pure and free from dust. The new in
vention is a car window which the in,
ventors think will solve the problem OF
ventilating passenger cars. President
Samuel Hill, OF the Eastern Minnesota,
is 80 pleased with the invention that he
has placed at the disposal OF the owners
OF it a passenger car to do with it as
they see fit. The device was to have
been tested Wednesday between Duluth
aud st. Paul or the afternoon express.
II all goes we'll Mr.. Hill will at once
equip all his cars with the new windows.
The device consits merely OF a blind like
the ordinary blind or shutter in a street
car. Only istead of wood the blind is
made Of glass, sc that it is not a blind
but a window. Each slat of glass is four
inches wide and is superimposed on the
one below to half the width. The space
between the Stats is one sixteenth below.
BY leaving the ventilators in the roof
open a current of air is created that takes
the smoke and dust out through the
shutters without ones noticing it.

HUNDRED THOUSAND DEAL

Estimates From n Missionary Regarding
Armenian Mass.cres.
MEMPHIS. Tenn, Dec. 9.-The rela-
tives of Mrs. Helen Register Bliss, who
reside in Memphis, are in receipt Of a
letter relative to the Armenian wars.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bliss are cative Mem
phians and art connected with the
American Bible society in CONSTANT
nople. Mrs. Bliss says:
I'VE are having III anxioas time here
and know not what to expect. At Har-
poot all but four of our missionary
houses have been destroyed and these
were looted. At Erzeroum 10000
armed Armenians were killed in less
than 10 days. There is no doubt that
all these outrages are committed with
the sanction Of the sultan. The Bull
garian massacres were but a drop in the
bucket. OF course there was the Same
iendish cruelties at that time, but not
to be compared with this in extent.
Over 100, 900 Armenians have been
butchered. mostly men. leaving women
and children in awful poverty, with
winter upon them.

MINNEAPoLTS. Dec. iO.-"I have
made my bed and must lie in it, was
the startling statement made by Hay
ward to a reporter while religious SER
vices were being held in the Jail for his
especial benefit.
1t was the nearest approach to a con
fession ever made by the murderer, and
it created a sensation. 1t was regarded
as an undeniable admission Of guilt,
and was made during a conversation
between the prisoner and the reporter
concerning a book which Hayward pro.
poses to write during his few remain
ing hours ON earth.
Has n Great Desire (, Talk.
Hayward's main desire at present
seems to be to talk and eat. His talk is
of a very rambling sort and his laugh is
harsh and discordant. During the
night he raved considerably and his
keepers were obliged to give him an
opiate before he could sleep. Some pre-
dict he will &c to the scaffold a maniac,
while others believe he is merely acting.

he is determined this shall be done, and

served.
Condemned Mans Statement.
Harry Hayward's statement, taken in
the afternoon by Jailer West, is some.

Richard ReaIfs Poetry.

Letters of inquiry regarding the publication
of Richard Realf's poems are constantly re-
ceived in San Francisco. A few days ago Col
onel A. G. Halves got letter, with subscription
money inclosed, from John Swinton OF the
New York Sun asking when the volume would
appear. 1t seems that the committee of Cali
fornians which proposed to erect monument
in memory of Realf concluded that the publ
cation OF volume OF the poets verses would
be the best monument that could be devised
To carry out this plan Richard ]. Hinton, who
was associated with Reah in Kansas, was ap-
pointed or recognized as the literary executor
sponded with Miss K II. Durham of 1896 Val
lejo street, giving that young lady assurance
that the volume, to consist of 800 pages and
four illustrations, will be published ana de-
livered to subscribers some time this year. II
appears from the correspondence that Mr.. Hin
ton has not yet selected a publisher, but feels
sanguine that good terms can be obtained from
some publishing-house if fifty more subscribers
can be obtained in California.

CYCLING ON MOUNTAINS,
Hard Trip by Members of the
California Club to Santa
Cruz.
A Fast Record From San Leandro to
San Jose Made by Joseph
B. Carey.

Ten members of the California Cycling
| Club returned late last night from one OF
the hardest wheeling trips they could pos
sibly have taken. The party left here
Saturday night at o'clock and rode to
Congress Springs, distance of forty mine
miles, arriving there at midnight. They
started at o'clock yesterday morning for
Santa Cruz, via Bowlder Creek, a distance
of only thirty-three miles, but owing to
the mountainous country and the terrible
condition of the roads it required eight
hours of hard work, principally walking,
to make the distance. After a hearty din
ner at Santa Cruz they returned by train.
The party consisted of Captain Burke,
Lieutenants Egeberg and Mayo, Messrs.
Sternberg, Burnett, Struven, Erbe, Boyle,
Creamer and Schultz. Burke and Mayo
left the train at Los Gatos to ride back to
the City.
The Xopos Bachelors Club of San Jose

est trip from San Leandro to San Jose
He was paced down by the Seybolt broth
ers on their tandem Saturday and made
the run in hour 81 min., which means a
gait of twenty miles an hour.
Bald and Macdonald, the Eastern racers,
may be seen on a tandem team this season.
Tandem racing is very popular now, and
they would surely prove very fast COM
bination.

day, May 8. The Rambler quadruplet will
pace Allan Jones an exhibition mile at the
same time. Trainer Awkward, with Jones

out from the the clubhouse to and around
Shag Rock, thence to and around stake
boat anchored off the southwest end OF
Angel Island, thence around the Chispa
and across the starting line. There were
four classes started. The first three classes
only contended for the cup and they had
to go twice around the course.
In the first class the Sappho won the
race, with the Clara so close a second as to
raise a question in the minds of the
owners of the latter craft, who demanded a
remeasurement. The Queen only beat the
Sappho by minute and % seconds, but
that was plenty of time in which to win a
race.
The Sappho did some rapid sailing dur
ing the day. and made remarkable time
considering her mishaps. She lost man
overheard and had to stop to pick him up,
carried away her balloon-jib and took the
topmast out of an outside yacht which
happened to get in her way. The prettiest
bit of sailorwork was done by Captain H.
L. James of the Thelma, who weathered
the Harpoon in a most artistic manner.
The two vessels were bowling along toward
home on the last leg the first time around
the course, and made a most beautiful
sight of it as they few on with their glossy

Thelma made a short tack, coming about
like top, but fouled the Gedney and lost
her chance of crossing the line.
The Harpoon went to the stern of the
Gedney and stood away up toward
Richardson's Bay to get the shore breeze.
In the meantime the Thelma had run
away on the wind, and it looked as if she
was out of the race. She came about in a
minute, and moment later was piling up
the water before her in mad dash for the
Harpoon. She rounded the stern of the
Gedney as the Harpoon was coming down
for the line. Then Young jibed her and
she answered true and shot across her
rivals bow, going around to the windward
of the Harpoon and blanketing that craft.
The Harpoon had to go about again, while
the Thelma sailed gayly away. The Thelma
and Harpoon were only launched this
season and considerable interest was mani
tested as to the way in which they would
act. The clever work of the Thelma did
her no good in the end, for the Harpoon
beat her after all. During the pretty ex-
hibition the Queen was sailing and sailing,
with Ed Howard's hand on the wheel and
his eye on the cup.

RIVAL COMPANIES SHOOT.
Co, D. Fifth Infantry Regiment
N. G. C. Again Defeated
by Cooks Men.
CRACK SHOTS AT SHELL MOUND.
Cook Says He VIII Put Up a Higher
Score for the San Rafael
Warriors.

Company D, Fifth Infantry, N. g. c.,
Captain William Elliott commanding. was
again beaten yesterday at the Shell Mound
range by Company B, First Infantry, Cap
tain Irving B. Cook.
The contest was the event of the day at
the 200-yard range and attracted many
spectators.
Last December the friendly rivalry be-
tween these two organizations eliminated
in challenge from the San Rafael COM
pany. Elliott somehow got it into his
head that he had several crack shots in
Company D and was given to boasting of
the general high average of his men at
rife-shooting. Cook, though usually one
of the most-modest men that ever sported
two bars, wished for an oakleaf, and was
also prone to extoI the valorous deeds of
his own command in putting out bullseyes.
So it happened that in course of time the
rival captains got their men together for a
test of skill. Cook accepted Elliott's chal-
Ienge and the match--tifty men on a side
was shot off at San Rafael.
1t was not walkoVer for Company B
by any means, though Cook expected an
easy victory.
His company scored 1916 points and the
rival organization got 1841.
This would have satisfied some captains
but the zeal of Cook cried out for a higher
score. He has had his men at the range
until they threatened to enlist in the regu-
lar army, for the purpose of getting little
rest.
"Brace up, boys" he would say, as he
dragged squad of sleepy guardsme.n over
to Shell Mound of a Sunday morning be-
fore breakfast. brace up, my braves; the
reputation of Company B is at stake"
awe will do them so badly one of these
days that Elliott will give up target shoot
ing and devote his spare time to drill. But
they can't drill as well as they shoot, and
therein lies the joke"
Then the doughty captain would laugh
hard, cruel laugh, while his braves pegged
away at the bullseye in the cold, gray mist
OF the morning.
Cook wanted more of it, so he challenged
Elliott, and the match came off yesterday.
Company B scored a total of 1851 points.
Company D got 1898 points.
Cook now declares that he will not rest
satisfied until he has defeated Eliott's
company by exactly 1898 points. In the
meantime more practice.
The scores in full were as follows:

HIGH J|NKS OF ATHLETES,
San Francisco Club Enjoys
a Sundays Prearranged
Programme.
Music, Boxing and Wrestling Oc-
cupy the Attention of the
Members.

The quarters of the San Francisco Ath-
letic Club, 1917 Sixth street, were crowded
to suffocation yesterday afternoon by
members of the club as participants in the
annual "high-jinks" of the organization.
There was not member of the club, in
good standing, absent. They were all
there and enjoyed the programme as ar
ranged by the committee and the liquid
and dry refreshments prepared for the
guests of the club.
The entertainment was practically under
control of w. H. Daily, who acted as
master of ceremonies. Mr.. Daily demon
strated to the members of the club and the
invited guests that he was an athlete
whose right to membership should not be
disputed. High benches had been erected
at the rear of the room from which officials
of the club could view the various feats at
tempted by the members. Spacious
desk room had been prepared for
the master of ceremonies, and was amply
occupied by Mr.. Daily with the assistance
of numerous plates of sandwiches and
tankards of beer brought to the sanctum
from time to time by admiring members
of the club who served as walters for the
official bench.
After an elaborate description of the OBJ
iects of the club and the good it had &C
COM lished for the young men south Of
Market street, Mr. Daley announced the
first feature of the afternoons entertain
ment in which all present were expected
to join without too much persplration, as
a solo by Thomas Lyons and 5. Dugan. ="
Mr.. Lyons handled a concertina, from
which emanated the catchy air of "Her
Golden Hair Is Hanging Down Her Back, !"
while Mr.. Dugan kept accurate time on
the piano. Cheers and liberal display of
handkerchiefs Ito remove the perspiration)
greeted the rendition. An encore was re-
sponded to with a medley of popular airs
which put the audience in the proper con-
dition to see men meet in the arena.
'W. Britt will now box J. Maroney
three rounds" announced the master of
ceremonies. According to the club men,
bers, cit took no time for them to get to-
gether," and yet they did some pretty
sparring with the big mitts that would not
hurt baby unless attached TO a pile
driver.
For the best interests of the club no de-
cisions were given, and points failed to
count except in the relative opinion of the
sandwiches and beer.
Music by Baker with a banjo and Patter-
son with mandolin, boxing between l..
Virgins and William Thomas, a song by
L. Levenberg, boxing between F. Cough
lin and E. Rafael, song by Mat Malowe,
boxing by Tom Devine and J. McDevitt,
music by Chase and Patterson, boxing
between James McQueeney and D. O'Brien,
song by George Little and wrestling by
other members of the club filled out the
programme.
Shortly after o'clock Mr.. Daily an
nounced the programme completed, and
invited all those present to repair to the
depleted bar and there quench their thirst
and fill the inner man with sandwiches.
which had satisfied those who had been
there before.
