Ismail Yousarf, the Turkish
Wrestler, Coming to America.
NoMAN HAsEVER THROWN HIM
He Is Marvel OF Strength. Skill
ana Endurance Dartmouth Foot
ball Players Are Ambitious-The
Anti-FootbaH Movement in Vir-
ginia Killed.

BY special permission of his imperial
majesty, Abdul IIamid H., Sultan of Tnr-
key, Ismnil Yousarf is coming to America
in search of new wrestlers To conquer No
man has ever thrown him. and 1t was only
after a ,iearth of material in his own vicin-
age that the Sultan gave his consent for
his fayorite to go abroad In search OF ma
terial TO test his prowess. He Will reach
New YORK about the first OF the year. He
will seek Evan Lewis, Ernest Roeber. and
the best that tine country can produce tn
cope will rim.
Yousarf is about thirty-two years old and
OF Yourauk parentage. He won distinction
in the Turkish armv 70: valor, as well as
for feats or skill and strength. For nearly
ten years he met all comers at every style
of wrestling. Hut the tipe came when no
one could be found to cope with him.
Ismail is a fraction of an inch more than
six feet high, broad In proportion and weighs
about $50 pounds. His fayorite style is
a Turkish modification Of collar-andelbOw.
in which weight aud strength are of the
first iurnri.nc He Is also an adept at
at Graceo- Roman and catch as catch-can
wrestling. A comparison OF tine pictures
of the Turkish champion with those of
William Muidoon show TIL, royal subject sts
rather flesliy specimen.
The arrangements for the visit of the
royal subject are I'm the hand of Antonio
Pierrl, of Paris, who said in an interview
in New York:
''Yousarf Will make n great sensation III
your country. This man is absolutely amar-
vel of strength. skill and endurance, and
has never been thrown. In his behalf shall
issue an open challenge and his coming 10
America will give such men as Lewis and
Roeber the chance to distinguish them
selves. myself firmly believe that 10 man
in the world can stand one minute in front
of Yousarf at Graeco- Roman or catch-as-
catch-can wrestling"
Mr. Pierri gives this Us coming from VoU-

begged permission to travel. l shall re-
turn to him champion Of the world"

strength awaited little against the clever
ness OF his opponent, and after fifteen
rounds. In which Mccoy Seems to have
chopped and baggled the Australian at
Will, the latter gave up the contest.
BY his showing In this battle Mccoy has
certainly proven that he is worthy
opponent for any OF the men Of his class
who are now talking fight. 1t was freely
admitted by friends and foes alike that
Creedon was the one man in McCoy's
division who would surely test his metal.
and now there seems to be no one In
his wa to dispute his claim to superiority.
But by heating creedon Mccoy has not
made his future path an easy one. Earring

BICYCLE THE DRESS REFORMER.

IL is hardly to lie supposed that the
dress reforming spirit is a product Of
modern times, since we find the necessity
of IL enjoined upon women rs far back rs
Bible times, but for present purposes it
is sufficient to go hack to forty yeas ago.
when the women of this country began TO
look timidly and tentatively (much "a
the little fish III the fable looked at the
fly on the hook toward the mere Iossi-
1ility of such changes in the garments
they wore AS should conform them, in
some degree at least, to tho demands Of
beauty or health or convenience or ade-
quate bodily protection. a few women,
looking at the matter quite simply and
directly, and conceivlng, therefore. that
dress reform was matter solely of in
dividual and private concern, shut tn em-
selves into the privacy of their homes.
shipped and sheared and stitched indus
triously, coming forth at last TO shock
the gaze Of waiting world with n cur
ious hybrid garment, neither male nor
female, lacking tho stern'practicability of
the masculine garb, lacking also oil the
sweet appeal Of the flowing feminine
line lacking even that long getty coat, -
without which, as the acute Alr. pepys
observed, nobody could take them FOR
women. IL is not strange that the re-
form received n blow, then ana there,
from which IL staggered along unsteadily,
upheld only by tle occasional enthusiasm
of business-like prophet or n Rainy
Day Club. or WoInan's Congress (where
10 crept in with other more popular and
less necessary reforms) until about three
years ngo Then. without any seeming
movement, without declaring itself at
all, suddenly, like light at the creative
fiat IL was. And 10 WAS, not through
any tempest OF organization, or any
whirlwind of enthusiasm. but through
the STILL small wheels OF the bicycle,
bringing forth the one thing that was
necessary and had boon lacking oil the
time-reason enough. From Women

CURRENCY Reform.

Secretary Cages plan for currency re-
form, approved by the President, is IN the
house and rs Bradstreets forctbly ex-
presses it, "the administration has taken
the Initiative In the endeGvor To improve
the condition of the currency and has put
the responsibility Tor tho maintenance of
existing situations upon Congress.
The secretary's scheme provides for tho
refunding Of the existing per cent bonds
of 1904 and the 4 per cent bonds of 1907
into bonds bearing interest at the rate Of
2lz per cent, payable semi-annually, re-
deemable at the pleasure OF United States

Of the treasuror OF the United States and
modiiies the existing laws regarding na.
tional banks upon the general lines sug-
gested by the secretary in his annual re-
port which was summarized in Tho News.
Tho secretary declared that the objects he
had In mind I'm framing tho measure
proposed were 10 commit the country
more thoroughly to the gold standard, TO
strengthen the treasury in relation TO It's
domand liabilities and the incidental obli-
cation TO maintain on parity through
interchangeability with gold so far as
may be necessary the present large vol
ume Of silver certificates and silver dol
lars 10 do this in such way as not to
contract the volume OF circulation in the
hands Of the people and 90 take an initial
step toward "a systom Of bank note issues
without the conditional deposit OF public
bonds rs security therefor. The measure
just laid before the hous Is to bc followed
by another authorizing tho secretary To
borrow $1,000, 900 for a torn not ex-
ceeding one year when circumstances de-
mand.
Meantime the so-callod Monetary Com
mission Is to he heard from and there are
perhaps half a dozen bills I'm evidence
that are worthy OF consideration.
