Closing Game Won by Ives.

Boston, Mass, April 17.-Frank Ives
won the closing game and the champion
ship in the second series Of the interna-
tional billiards tonight, defeating Scha-
fer, 300 10 284. Bumstead hail. which
has been the Mecca for billiard enthu-
eiasts during the week, was crowded 10
its utmost capacity for the closing game
Of the series. Both Schaefer and Ives
had each two victories to their credit,
and tonight's game decided the cham
pionship. Schaefer was the favorite
with the majority of the spectators, and
his defeat was a great disappointment.
His playing was by no means up TO the
standard. Frequently he had the game
well in hand, but would slip up on COM
paratively easy shots. Ives played a
cool. careful game throughput and on
ly in the last innings did he manifest
any nervousness.
The game opened with Schaefer, who
won the bank, but failed to score.
Schaefer's work at times revealed Seem
ing impossibilities and a world of sci
ence in the curves of the ivories, but
he failed TO increase his string mate
rally until the seventh inning. In the
1hirty-third inning he manifested his
old-time ability ad got in a few good
runs, which led his friends 10 feel more
Ives work was of the careful sort,
that saved all his positions intact by
means of a feather-edge touch, and his
luck in counting was again manifest.
When Schaefer was 279 and Ives 2S2
the audience was worked up to a high
pitch, and the hOped-for run would
have landed Schaefer a winner but in
seven innings he only added five to
his score. Ives got the worries, hOwev-
er. in his favorite corner, and wound
up with a flourish. Ives highest run
was so; average 4 1866.
Schaefer's highest run was &c; aver
age 2-66.

A Kabyle Hero.

miliar and equal terms with their cattle
and their swine occupying the

Of great bravery and many noble traits,
they yet resemble the Arabs in their
want of honesty. A story is told of a
chief of theirs, Mokrani, which makes
rs think; the days Of chivalry are not
yet gone. When, worsted in the Fraaco-
German war in 1871, the French had to
withdraw their troops from Algeria.
and thus a grand opening was left for
instruction, Mokrani would not rebel
as he had pledged his word To the Al
gerian governor that there would be no
rising against the French authority till
the war was over. Even when a peace
had been made, and he Was thus re-

NEED NOT PAY GOLD
NEBRASKA GOLD COIN CONTRACT
VICTIM GETS RELIEF.

Question OF the Legal Effect of the Words,
"to Pay in Gold Coiu," and Defendants
Plead Violation of the Legal Tender
Law and Opposition to Public Policy
Court Decides Not to Enforce the Gold
Clause and That IL 1t Comes TO Gold
Payment or Avoiding the Instrument,
Void it Shall Be
Omaha, April 1.-THE question Of the
legality of what are known as gold
coin contracts" was raised for the first
time in this county today. II came up
in the case Of Chase against Wrel, in
an action to collect payment OF a $1,000
mortgage note on which default in in
terest had occurred. The attorney for
the defense raised the point in district
court as 10 the effect Of inserting in a
note or contract the words Ito pay in
gold coin" or the words Ito pay in gold
coin or its equivalent" and argued that
in either form, the note would be Illegal.
being in violation OF the legal tender
law and contrary 10 puolic policy. II
was further argued by the defense that
if not voiding and invalidating the note
entirely, the section requiring payment
in gold was void.
During the argument the court said
that it would not enforce that part Of
the note contracting TO pay in gold ::
that if il came to a question of holding
that the noe was payable in gold coin or
that thecontract was Illegal and void
the court would hold that il was illegal
and void.

MORE MONEY FOR ARMENIA
Miss Barton Sends Another Appeal to the
Relief Association.


New York, April 17.-CIara Barton of
the Red Cross cables TO the National
Aremnian Relief commission a follows:
''Constantinople, April 17-Trask,
New York: Hubbell, in charge of the
Red Cross relief expedition at Marash
reports, April 10: Three thousand sick
of typus, including the English consul
''On the 18th he reports sickness at
Zeitoun increasing, with forty or fifty
deaths daily Great need for funds.
General condition for relief favorable.
Signed: BARTON"
The National Relief association, in
giving out this appeal from Miss Bar
ton, calls attention to the fact that not
one-ffth of the 100000 needed by the
lowest calculation TO carry on the work
of the Red Cross society in Asiatic
Turkey has yet been given. Unless the
destitute are aided until the next crop
is secured, all the money thus far spent
through the various agencies will be
practically thrown away and thous-
ands will perish by pestilence and star
walton.

At a meeting Of the international

considerable attention was given to the
effect of winds. It states that the de.
struction of the forests is responsible
for many of the cold waves which we
experience. Special mention is made Of
the disappearance of peach trees from
Michigan, which Is said to be traceable
directly to the deforestation OF the
state and the uninterrupted rush of
cold winds. = The hot, sweeping winds
Of the plains. known as desccattng
winds, are held accountable for loss
of something like 21,ooo, 900 bushels
of corn in the state Of Kansas alone.
The absence of timber belts and wind

YOUNG CORPORAL JIM.
IAs told by a veteran.l

AS told by veteran. Twas down in the valley in sixty-four, Just one year ere the war was OCT, That young Jim joined us. gallant and gay, As a full dedged private in old Troop K. His eyes were as big and as bright a girls. And close to his head crept his short tawny
 curls, And his figure was graceful and 1.-the and slim As a willow that grows near the rivers brim. He was only n lad, not beyond eighteen, But the things that he knew and sights he had We're marvellous even to soldiers old, And though gentle in nature his spirit was
 bold. So they made him 8 corporal so gallant and
 gay, And he carried the guidon in old Troop K. Twas a close June morning, the east just gray With the faintest glimmer of breaking day: The trumpets were sounding the revetlle, When off to the north, like a surging sea, Came the rattle of muskets, the rolling of
 drums, And "To armsI'' sang the trumpets- "To
 arms, the foe comesl' Twas the prettiest fight, sir. you ever did sec. Though from where we lay low in reserve with

 our breath, And then like hero rode straight to his death Did we carry the placeP Just you read the re
 port That Phil Sheridan made to the point, sharp
 and short: While the troops all fought well, the event of
 the day Was the taking of Mound Hill by gAllOping K.' And Jim, yes, we found him quite close to the
 hill Shot clean through the head, sir-all quiet and
 still. Fast clasping the guidon, he lay on the sod, His young bonny face turned straight up to
 his God. We buried him close to the spot where he fell From that death dealing shower of bullets and
 shell. We gave him n headboard-the best that We
