A Royal Craftsman.

The late shah of Persia was an excel
lent craftsman. On his visit to England
seven years ago he sketohed the artist
of The Graphic as that gentleman was
sketohing him, and the royal drawing
was dashed off with a keen yet unexag
gerated power of caricature not otteh
met with in an amateur s work.

FOOLED THE MANAGER.
How j. w. Kelly, "the Rolling Mill Man,"
Made the Hit of His Life.

How y. W. Kelly 1.-THE Rolling Mill Man,
Made the Hit of His Life.
A theatrical manager tells this story
regarding the late J. W. Kelly:
In his earlier days Kelly was appear
ing at a variety hall in San Francisco
The proprietor and manager of the place
was German, who had "a great admi-
ration for the rolling mill man. I"
While Kelly was appearing at the thea
ter the German arranged to put on the
ltage series of tableaux depicting the
heroism of the members of the San
Francisco fire department.. Kelly was
to stand at one side of the stage and re-
rite some original verses describing
each picture or tableau as it was shown
on the stage The German was wildly
anxious that this tribute TO the fremen
should make hit on the opening night.
"Oh, Chon," he said, "do your pest,
and you will make tie hit of your life"
On the day of the opening Kelly re-
manned at home, so as to be in the best
possible trim for the show. Soon after
8 o'clock he started for the theater.
DSlOlC SOilS ihtO thO nan ~ oo-
Cured to him that he could have some
fun with the German; so he turned up
his coat collar, mussed his hair and
went reeling into the variety hall
There was a sound of crashing glass
ware. The German had dropped tray
full of beer glasses.
"Oh, Chon," he moaned, waving his
hands in the air, "you haf wooined all
tie taploze! Vat is te good of hating
Irishman to work for you?"
''Thash all right" mumbled Kelly,
staggering up to him.
$50 vay," shouted the manager.
"You hef kveered tie show"
With that the manager rushed for the
stage and arranged that soubrette
should announce the tableaux. Then he
went out in front and waited, all in a
tremble, to see if she could get through
with it. In the meantime Kelly went
around OH the stage, and just as the SOU
brette walked Oh the stage Kelly fol-
lowed her and said, "I'll take care of
this. -
Liz saw MN NNihN oii ehN
stage, and with a cry of mortal terror
ran for the front door. He knew that
Kelly would spoil everything. He stood
ip the street, mopping his brow and
moaning in agony. when he began to
hear loud applause inside the theater.
He could hardly believe his senses.
Every few seconds there would be a
roar of laughter and handolapping. He
timidly went back into the hall, and
there was Kelly, sober as n judge and
straight as string making the hit
of his life. After that all the German
could do was to sit down at table 10
weep and order beer for everybody
around.
In telling the story Kelly used to say
merely to finish the story, II saw him
after that when l really did have tidy
number aboard, but he only laughed and
said, No, Chon, you can't fool me. y

Good Performance by n Local High
School Boy.
The closest race of the series took Ilace
at the Convention Hall skating rink last
evening, Clarence Saunders, a Washington
boy, giving Donoghue close rub for first
honors. Although Saunders had five laps
in three miles, he had fall and this ma
terially decreased the distance between him
and the champion. Johnson and Inglefretz
also started, the former with six laps and
the latter with two and half Inglefretz
also had couple of bad falls that took
away his chance of winning Donoghue's
time for the three miles was 0.34 IL which,
considering the size of the track and the
short turns, is remarkable, to say the
least. He also made the two miles in Gil
The race began to oe exciting from the
first, and when Saunders fell and Dono-
ghue leaped over his back and continued on
his way, the enthusiasm OF the spectators
was uEbounded. Inglefresz finished a close
third with Johnson last
Saunders is a High School bow and is
well known as a foot ball player. He seems
to possess considerable speed, and it is ex-
pected that he will develop into an excep-
tiGnally fast man.

will start at o'clock, the handcaps being
announced just before the race With In
glefretz, Saunders and Dagg to lead Dono-

who attend will see some startling spurts
on the part of the racers, and that the race

TRYING RoNTGEN's EXPERIMENTS.
The Success Which Prof Troyybrjdpe
Has Attained at Harvard.

From the New York Times.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, February 2-Prof
Trowbridge's recent confirmation of the
discovery made by Prof. Rontgen of Ger
many has created unusual interest among
all students who are interested in scien-
tific study. 1t was on Wednesday after
noon that Prof. Trowbridge obtained a
distinct impression upon Photographic
plate by means of the Rontgen cathode
rays, acting through such opaque SUBJ
stances as wood and pasteboard. The
impression gives a distinct print on any
sensitive paper. At one place the wood
was not less than half an inch thick. At
other places the thickness was not more
difficult to distinguish on the plate the
part that was covered by the extra thick
ness.
A very sensitive Cramer dry plate was
put, film side up, into wooden box with
a tight-fitting cover. On the plate we're
laid two clear glass slips, less than one
sixteenth OF an inch thick. A considerable
space was left between them. Across the
glass slips, to hold them in place, was
put narrow bar of pine wood five-siX-
teenths of an inch thick. The wooden
cover, three-sixteenths of an inch thick,
was then put in place. This wooden box
was put inside a covered pasteboard box
the walls of which were one-thirty-second
of an inch thick. The whole thing was
put close to the brightly fiuorescent part Of
an ordinary spherical Crooke tube. and the
action was maintained two minutes, when
the tube became too hot for further opera
ton. When the plate was taken out and
developed the part not shielded by the
glass showed plainly the boundaries for
the whole length of the plate
rms was Prof. Trowbridge's second at
tempt. The first had been only partly
successful. The ordinary current used for
l;shting the building was sent through
the primary of an ordinary coil. The re-
slstance of the primary of this coil is one
tenth of an ohm, and of the secondary
5000 ohms. The current through the
primary was not stronger than II am
pefes. The current from the secondary
or the first coil was sent through the pri-
mary of % turns of a Tesla induction coll
the secondary of which was 900 turns
The secondary gives a spark through six
inches of air. Its terminals were con-
nected with the electrohoe of the Crooke
tube.
From the ease with which the photo
graphic effect was obtained il appears
doubtful whether so complicated and pow
.erful apparatus was necessary. The inn
presslon obtained on the plate is rather a
print than q negative.

GOV. RICHARDS DEMAND.
Wants the Crees Removed From
Montana.


A special, dated yesterday, from Helena
Mont, says:
Today Gov. Richards demanded of Sec
rotary Olney that he forthwith rid Mon
tana Of the Cree Indians. The demand
was made after receipt this morning of a
letter from Secretary Oney referring to
the Cree controversy, Of which the follow
ing is part:
THE department has now recalled the
subject to the attention of the British cm-
bassy, with request that authorities of
the Dominion of Canada may be Informed
of your readiness to deliver the Indians to
them, and that this government NAV he
informed as to when and where her mai
esty's authorities will be ready to receive
them. The departn ent expects an early
response to it's inquiries, and it is hoped
that the authorities of Montana will he
prepared to take prompt action if a favor
bassy."
In reply Gov. Richards informs Secretary
Olney that the matter is now an internal
tional affair, and that it is the duty of the
federal government to remove the Indians
and not the state. In conclusion. Gov
Richards cites that the Crees in times mast

SARATOGA LAKE FAVORED.
Sentiment of the Managers of the
'FOur-Crcv College Regatta,

FOur-Crev College Regatta.
The sentiment of the management of the
Harvard, Cornell, Columbia and Pennsyl-
vania quadrilateral race at present favors
its arrangement at Saratoga. The course
there has not as yet been inspected by
them, but is said to be particularly suitable
to the purpose and totally free from the
paramount objection to the Poughkeepsie
course, on the Hudson. of interference from
pleasure craft. Moreover, Saratoga is very
anxious to secure the race, and has offered
inducements of such character that they
are almost certain to be awarded the palm
unless some material advance is made in
the offers received from Poughkeepsie and
Springfield. A decision will probably be
reached within the next ten days.
The Saratoga course having been the
scere of intercollegiate regattas in the
height of rowing activity among the col
leges. the arrangement of the races there
will be hailed with satisfaction The events
of June 26 next will in no wise he of less
importance or of. less interest than were
the old intercollegiate regattas when the
intensity of college rivalry was such that
Saratoga was annually the scene of what
was perhaps as animated a spectacle as
has ever been seen in the aqua tic history
of the world, not even excluding the famous
Herley regattas of England.

The Government to Prevent En-

DAN STUART MAKES A PREDICTION
Saratoga Preferred for the Four
Crew Race.
GENERAL SPORTING NOTES

Correspondence has passed between the
governor of New Mexico and the United
States district attorney for that territory
and the Department Of Justice with view
to preventing the proposed fistic carnival,
which Is to be held near Ell Paso, Texas,
February "a, from taking place in New
Mexico. The governor of the territory Is
anxious to stop the holding Of the carni-
val in New Mexico, and is willing to do
all In his power to bring about that re-
suit. Should the Catron bill passed by the
House yesterday receive favorable action
at the hands of the Senate and be signed
by the President before the date of the
carnival, and the belief in official circles
is that such will be the case, the national
government will take steps to prevent the
fights from taking place on United States
territory, using the federal troops if neces-
sary. The enactment of the bill into law
will, 1t is believed, have the desired result
1nasmucn as its violation is punishable by
Imprisonment, and because it is an offense
for which the accused may be arrested in
any state and extradited.
Should the bill fail to pass the Senate
IN time to become operative in the present
case the governor of New Mexico has the

The position of the Mexican government
on the impending prize fight is that every

against prize fights, and Mexico cannot per-
