Chicago put in another challenge for the
"A. w. l.. trophy, and Messrs. Fiske, Keehu,
Hartz and w. G. Walker constituted the
team that was relied on to take the trophy
to Chicago. Yesterday was the day appoint
ed for the match, and the st. Paul men were
prepared to play the game OF their lives, for
DIR. Fiske's team is recognized as one of the
strongest combinations of tournament play
ers that 1t is possible to select from the Chi
cago club. But st. Paul is not destined to
lose the coveted cup to Chicago this season,
for a telegram received on Friday announced
the withdrawal of the challenge much to the
regret of the st. Paul players, who were
more than willing to try to make 1t three
straight against Chicago. The trophy will
stay in st. Paul, therefore, until the Brook
lyn congress- unless Duluth succeeds in win
ming the match to be played tomorrow. The
Duluth team has had but little experience in
match play, but its members are strong and
able players, individually. DR.. U. B. Cullum
is the captain, and two of the players are
judges of the district court at Duluth. The
match with Duluth will be the last of the
season, for the trophy is not subject to chal-
lenge after April so. If st. Paul wins to-
morrow, it will have five straight matches
won to its credit, record that the st. Paul
Whist club has every reason to be proud of.
Following is the record of the team for the
season thus far:

and hands it back to the division officer,
who in turn forwards it to the national
headquarters.
Officers may not marry without
years separation from their chosen life
partners, and if the two favorites in
terested both live in the same town the
higher officer either refuses them per-
mission to become engaged or requires
one of the young people to go to another
city. This is done to prevent the time
absorbing diversion of counting among
the officers, when they should be attend
ing to business. Engagements, as well,
must last one year before the command
err will give his sanction to marriage.
Ample time is given for the affections
to nicely cool, if they be tickle, or, if it
be strong, true love, to grow more ar
dent than ever.
In case where an officer, male or fe-
male, wishes to become engaged to an
ordinary soldier-for rank in the Saliva
ton Army is not caste-the same rule
of separation is observed, but the pri-
vate must rise from the ranks before the
marriage will be sanctioned. This pro-
vision is made that there may be extraor-
binary efforts made by the private in
doing good work-and love will find a
way-for thus the marriage will reflect
honor upon the army.
If an officer should happen, as Is
sometimes the case, to fall in love with
one outside the army, and this one re-
fuses to join, then he must cease to be
an officer and return to the ranks, dis
honored. One of the precautions against
counting among the offers is to place
a man and wife or two men and their
wives in command of every corps.
If female officer and male private
wish to marry, then, be it leap year or
not, the woman must take the initiative.
She must make the application to head.
quarters, fill out the required amount OF
blanks and do whatever she can toward
making her prospective lord and master
an officer.
"Jilting" in the Salvation Army IS
looked upon with the severe disapproval
that it deserves, and any officer found
guilty of that offense will be at once
reduced ANONYMOUSLY to the ranks.
"Any breaking of an engagement"
the field book ordains, "must be at once
reported to the division officer, and any
officer found guilty of shameless and
heart-brealcing jilting will be reduced
to the ranks. Counting means, more or
less. a division of feeling, necessarily

C0URTSHIP MADE HARD.
Rules Governing Love Affairs In
the Salvation Army.
oricers Are Crowned Upon for indulgence
In Sentiment, and lronclad Rules
Govern Betrothal and Marriage
Rings Not In Vogue.

Marriages of officers in the-Salvation
Army have not been numerous for some
time, and perhaps it is because of the
laws which govern that body. The new
field book, lately issued, lays down laws
to govern the affections of individuals
in the army as if hearts were machines,
and Cupid's pranks could be regulated
with a word. The question of how the
parents of the individuals feel about
the matter is not taken at all into con-
sideration, and very little thought is
given to the feelings of the lovers them
selves, so far as the discipline of the
army members is concerned.
The section of the rules and regu.
lations of the Salvation Army relating
to love, courtship and marriage among
the field officers is not generally known.
Such strict regulations toward the lit
tie god with the bow and darts exist i'll
this body that it would be little wonder
if but small amount of romantic feel
ing entered into the matter of being en-
gagged and married.
1t is only to the officers of the army,
however, says the Philadelphia Press,
that these rules apply; the rank and
file may make love and marry as they
see fit, provided they limit the number
of their marriages to one. If the sus-
ceptible heart of male officer becomes
stirred with the tender passion of love,
and he ardently desires to become one
with the fair lady of his affection, he
does not drop at once on the left knee
and ask her to allow her soul to join
with his, nor does he then slip on the
engagement ring while she prettily
bushes. Neither does he timidly ap-
proach him whom he fain would call
father, declaring that life without
'her" is of no account at all.
No; he goes to the division Office and
briskly asks for printed engagement
application blank. He fills this out,
stating all he knows about the fair one,

Young Lady's Courage Rescues Her Father

The bravery of Miss Blanche Knox,
the pretty young daughter of DIR. Louis
G. Knox, a veteran circus man, proba-
bly, saved the doctors life the other
day at Danbury, Conn, during strug-
gle with young African lion.
DR.. Knox was formerly the surgeon
of circus. He has a marvellous con-
troll over wild animals, and his spare
moments are spent in training them.
Three young lions romp about his Of
flee like dogs. The other day an African
lion named Tom Paine came by ex-
press. He is brother of Bob Fitzsim-
mons pet lion, which recently met a
tragic death. His parents are Wallace
and Victoria. When the lion was taken
from his travelling cage and fastened
to the floor by chain, he became furi-
GUS and made flying leap for liberty.
The chain parted and the lion leaped
toward q window, which was open.
DR.. Knox sprang in front of the win
dow and held the beast back, while
Joe Thomas, the doctors assistant,
threw himself upon the lion and twist
ed piece of chain about its neck. The
temper of the animal was aroused and
he fought ferociously. His strength
was more than q match for that of the
two men, and matters were assuming
a serious aspect when Miss Knox seized
a strap and, making a moose of it,
walked boldly up to the lion and, evad-
ing savage thrust of its paws, threw
it over his head. Then she slipped the
end of the strap through ring in the
wall and pulled it tight. The fight was
all strangled out of the lion and he
meekly submitted, while a new col
lar and chain was placed upon him.
The doctor and his assistant bear sew

DANCE TO AID A MURDERER.
Calico Ball Given to Raise Funds for /.
New Trial

Over 100 couples danced to the long
life of Bushrod Kelch at Lang's hall in
Cleveland, o., the other night, while the
person in whose behalf the dance was
given was languishing in the annex of
the Ohio penitentiary, under sentence
to hang on July 81, for the murder of
his wife. The affair was calico ball,
given to raise funds to secure trial in
a higher court for the condemned man.
No flowers, laces nor expensive cos
tunes were to be seen, as all such lux
uries were considered superfuous, and
the money usually expended in them
was supposed to be turned in to assist
the cause. There were many friends Of
the condemned man present. but more
were there out of curiosity, and, from
the degree of enjoyment manifested, it
would be hard to guess the cause of the
gathering. The committee announced
that the funds raised exceeded their ex-
pectations,

A DOCTORS TRIUMPH.
Watches Action of Internal Organs, De

Watches Action of Internal Organs, De-
tects Disease and Diagnoses Cases.
Prof. C. L. Norton, of the Massachu-
sets Institute Of Technology, has made
the most important practical X-ray
discovery yet.
He has been enabled TO examine al
most the entire inner system of the
human body, and has seen the faint
est pulsations of the heart and the liver
respond to the inhalations and the ex-
halations of the breath. He actually
has seen disease in all the vital organs,
and is able to diagnose correctly cases
by the sole use of the x ray. He has
outlined the internal organs. He has
seen the movements of the joints and
discerned the spongy examinations of
the bones as plainly as If devoid of flesh,
and all this he has accomplished under
two conditions-intense darkness In
his operating room and an intensified
concentrated light.
In his discovery he used the regular
Crookes tube and Holtz machine, and
his success is due to the careful adjust
ment of the capacity of his electric cir
cult.
Prof. Norton's apparatus is simple.
It is an instrument which resembles
a stereoscope, with fluorescent paper
occupying the place where the picture
is inserted. Between this instrument
and the intensified light from the
Crookes tube is placed the subject.

At the close of the chapel service last Sunday
morning, Warden WOlfer paid tribute to the
memory of our late cOmrade, William Earle.
We are unable to give the exact words. but they
were in substance as follows: From infOrma-
ton which he had been able to obtain from
some of his associates. and from recOllectiOns
of several interviews. he knew that he had been
marked man among us; one whose strength of
character, will and intellectual abilities placed
him far above the average usually found in a
place of this kind. besides possessing many
other qualities that go to make up manly man.
Yet, notwithstanding his unusual qualities and
strength of WILL he had one great weakness
From youth up he had been addicted to the
morphine habit. From the memoranda found
in his cell revealing the thoughts upon which
his mind had dwelt during the four years of his
imprisonment, thoughts of home early training,
of his mother, father and sister cOnclusively
proved that if it had not been for this one
weakness he would have occupied the high and
honorable position for which his qualities so
we'll fitted him. 1t was this weakness, together
with ill health from which he had been a suf-
ferer for some time and which he believed would
result in death before his term expired, that
had finally led to the termination of his life.
The effects thereof had caused despOndency,
and becoming impressed with the idea that the
world was against him. in moment had taken
his life. When the act was committed it was
not William Earle. but man whose mind had
become unbalanced. Among the notes that
were found was one address ed to the Warden
which contained words to this effect: That if
four years of earnest, honest and constant en-
deavor to obey the rules of the prison and the
performance of his work entitled him to any
consideration, he hoped that certain final re-
quests would be respected. The Warden stated
these last wishes would certainly be carried out
