SPEEDY SKATING.

National Tournament ON Silver Lake.
Staten Island.
The national speed skating tournament
was resumed on Silver Lake. s. l., yester-
day. Three thousand persons were pres
ent. A continuous fall of light snow made
it impossible for the management to keen
a straight-away track clear, but a space
was cleared for circular track and the
quarter and fiv- mile championships were
brought of on it. E. Reynolds Of Chicago,
who won the one mile championship Tues
day, captured the Quarter-mile yesterday
in clever style. He won the final heat by
about twenty inches from E. A. Thomas
of Newburgh, N. Y, after a hard race,
and Thomas beat Morgan, who was third,
by about four yards.
Eight men started for the five mile cham
pionship. aid they were well punched from
the beginning. Steve OBrien led for a cou-
who made the running. The pace was
ra ther slow for the first two miles, but it
was quickened in the third mile, and when
the 3 IA mile mark was passed O'Brien
dropped out Morgan kept in third posi-
ton from this point until the second last
lap. where he fell on the second turn. He
was going easily and his chances for the
prize were excellent until this accident be-
fell him. as he was only three yards be-
hind the leader.
In the last lap Thomas spurted at a won-
derful gait. followed by Cooney, Phillips
and McClave in the order named. When
this quartet entered the stretch each one
of them strained every m,scle in his effort
to gain the much coveted prize, but Thomas
held his lead nicely and won from Cooney
by two yards. In the last hundred yards,
Cooney came away from McClave and beat
the latter by fifteen yards. The contest for
third place between McClave and Phillips
was hot ore, and the former gained the
verdict by about two inches on the tape.

MISS WILLARD'S WELCOME.
Makes a Public Address at Her Child
hood Home

hood Home.
Chicago, Dec s-Niss Frances willard
was given public welcome to Evanston
yesterday afternoon. Every seat and
every inch of standing room in Emmanuel
Methodist church was occupied by neigh>
bors. friends and admirers of the grea
temperance worker, who had not adj
dressed a home audience for more than
three years.
Miss Willard said in part:
"It took centuries of civilization and
culture to make it possible to bring to-
gether such an audience as we have to-
day. It took centuries of opportunity and
touch and stroke to make it possible Tor
me to say what I shall today. But I am
always at home in Evanston. Not even
death can break the ties which bind my
heart to home. Forty years ago I was
a student in this school which is now your
university. 1t had not then the broad
foundation and large clientele which it
now has. We studied in those days. I
wonder if you do now. Then they did
not teach what I should like to dwell on
now. 1t is a part of Gods benefi-
cence.
7 believe the greatest single proof OF
that is shown in the reciprocal attraction
of two hearts one for the other out of the
millions of people on the earth. 1t is
the pure rose and could not exist but for
the heavenly tie. The loyalty of the two
is the foundation of the home. I have
a notfon-you may think it a spinsters
heresy-that there are about as many men
in the world who are without companions
as there are women. 1t may be that the
ideal could not be found, or perhaps it
is an everlasting love for a woman now
dead. do not call such men bachelors.
They have done things too great. I like
to read about them. Among the number
who preserved a love for a woman were
Michael Angelo. Washington Irving and
George Washington. It was man who
gave US our sweet song of home. 1t was
a man, our own beloved citizen, Eugene
Field, who became the children's laure-
ate.
''I build our work upon the perfected
home. can always count on the men
in an audience. Their natural chivalry
helps them and they Axe to see a woman
succeed. Nor do women like to see wO-
men fail, so our work goes on. 1t is the
great organization of humanity, and be-
long to it, although I have no home and
nothing left but my cat.
What I wanted to say is that in 1885
the Womans Christian Temperance union
founded a purity department. If any
preacher of the gospel wants theme for
pathos he can find it if he will but follow
the work We come with our white cross
pledge. That pledge comes to young man
hood. He promises to give every wo-
man respect and save her from a life of
degradation. It is our duty as the older
ones to give the young protection, so that
when they come out of the home the laws
of God shall make them know We should
begin with the good word before the i'm
pure word reaches the ear.

Gilbert Defeats Elliott at Chi
cagO.
Kansas City Man Loses to the
IOWan 81 to 81.
Governor Atkinson of Georgia, Vetoes
the Bill Prohibiting Football
in That State.

Chicago, Dec. 81. A. r. Elliott, of
Kansas City, was unsuccessful yester-
day in his efforts to regain possession
of the Star cup. He bowed in defeat
before Fred Gilbert, of Spirit Lake, Ia,
by a score of 81 to 81. The Hawkeye
was in the best of form, while Elliott
had a decidedly off day. The weather
conditions We're good and the birds
were not as difficult as on the previous
day. No wind influenced the flights
and a majority of the birds were driv-
ers.
Gilbert set a pace which his opponent
was unable to follow, killing "a straight.
The following, a driver, circled to the
left quarter, and futtered across the
line, dead. His other two lost birds
likewise fell dead out of bounds. Gill
bert was also favored by luck, three of
his kills fiutteriRg about until they fell
dead within the boundary. Only once
was the Westerner so favored. Elliott's
first miss was on the twelfth bird, a
screaming left driver, which carried
away large amount of shot. None of
the birds lost by Elliott were untouch-
ed, but he did not center them as we'll
as his opponent and was not as good
with the second barrel. At that, he
made q number of clever kills which
drew liberal applause.
At the fiftieth round the score stood
so to 43 in favor of Gilbert. OF the 13
birds lost by Elliott, eight were dead
out of bounds. The Kansas City man
was seconded by Captain Bartlett, of
Syracuse, and Fred Quimby, of New
York Eddie Bingham attended to
Gilbert. John Watson acted as referee.

Wichita, Dec. s.-Last night Mrs. Alice
Underwood, wife of T. G. Underwood, an
employe of the Fourth National bank, was
shot in the head with a shotgun by
Thomas Clark, formerly a trusted en-
ploye of the Shaw wholesale music house.
Mrs. Underwood was walking along
Mead avenue holding the arm of ner
husband. Clark followed them along the
street for some distance. then going out
across the avenue to the opposite side
he dropped in ahead of Underwood and
his wife and, walking down an alley ten
or fifteen steps. he waited till the couple
passed. when he raised the gun and fired
both barrels at Mrs. UnderwOod's head.
He stood on the right of the couple as
they walked north, and probably directed
his shot so that it would kill the woman
without hitting her husband
The shot took effect below Mrs. Under
woods right ear and she fell to the
ground. The gun was held so far out
that the whole load did not take effect.
and death did not follow, but it is not
thought that she can recover.
No reason is given for the trouble. The

CARS ON WALL STREET.
Horse Car Line TO be Operated on
That Famous Thoroughfare.

New York, Dec. S.-Steps are now be-
ing taken to lay a street railway, to
be operated by horsepower, in Wall
Pine, Liberty, Cortlandt, and William
streets, and in Maiden Lane. The pro-
jectOrs of the enterprise declare that
nothing now lies between them and the
actual work of construction except the
consent of the commissioner of public
works to open the streets for the pur-
pose of laying the tracks.
Should this consent be granted, it is
asserted, the company will begin con-
structfon not later than next. spring.
If the companys programme should
be carried out its tracks would cross
those of the Broadway cable road. at
four or five points.
The company is not controlled by the
Metropolitan Street Railroad company,
and it is declared that it is also indie
pendent of the Third Avenue Street
Railroad company. The opposition
that it will meet from the Metropoli-
tan company will be- it is assumed, as
great as all the resources of that pow
erfUl corporation can make it.
The application has been before the
commissioner of public works since the
18th of last month, and he has not yet
taken action. It is understood, how
ever, that he is unfriendly to the scheme
and that there is small chance he will
grant the consent asked.

TARIFF CUTS NO FIGURE.
American Forestry Association Says
it's Business is Not Affected

Washington, Dec. S.-The American
Forestry association held its 10th an
nual meeting at Washington today. The
meeting is mainly a business meeting
to satisfy the requirements of articles
of Incorporation for the purpose of re-
ceiving reports and the election of Of
ficers. General Francis H. Appleton of
Boston, presided.
After a brief report from the board
of directors, the report of the executive
committee was read by the chairman,
DR.. 3. Z. FernOW. The report referred
to the legislation passed in the extraor-
binary session of the present congress-
providing an administration for the
federal forest reservations, as a result
of educational work of the association,
during the last ten years.
The owning of forest areas, is said,
is being recognized by various states as
an essential part of a state forest pol
icy.
The tariff legislation was briefly
touched upon as influencing neither ia
vOrably nor unfavorably, the forestry
movement.
