be no doubt, 1t has the advantage of
being an amusement in which the fair
sex are not so heavily handicapped as
in other games 1t gives plenty of
moderate and healthful exercise, with
out any of that over-exertion that ten
mis- calls forth and to which every
young lady is not equal. Through all
the game there is just that moderate
exercise and play of wit and Judgment
which enervates without exhaustion
and distracts the mind without absorb
ing 1t, There are many excellent lady
golfers in the ranks of the New Haven
GOLF club, the girls as rule putting
extremely well, and all the better be-
cause they play bodily for the hole,
without studying too much the lay
of the ground, Thus far the weather
has been trifle too severe for the COLL
ing girls to play the game, but expect
atoms are running high of many a
game on the field. Archery and GRO
quet We're the pioneers which made a
breach in the walls which that awful
parsonage Mrs. Grundy had raised up
to separate the sexes in outdoor games;
lawn tennis came with Whirl and, TAX
ing the fortress by storm, the colons of
stern and gentle sexes now mi1fsle in
friendly contests on the Melted courts
and tented fields. 1t is problematical
golf will be similarly characterized.
AT present the girls must be content to
play the game without cavaliers.
In all probability but for the unset
tied state of affairs regarding the build
ing of either a country club or casino,
a new club house would be erected by
the club, as it is felt want. Mr.. Jo-
seph Whittlesey, president; Mr.. G. X.
Billings, secretary and treasurer; Prof.
Theodore Woolsey, Prof. Beebe, Mr., w.
#. Foster and Mr.. Justus Hotchklss
constitute the club committee.
Golf, though temporarily diverting
many from the tennis court, has left
much to reassure lovers of this sport
that their favorite game is not taking a
step backward At the recent annual
executive meeting of the United States
Lawn Tennis association, held at the
Manhattan hotel, New York, the fol-
lowing board were present: President
DR. James Dwight Of Boston, Vice Pres
ident Joseph s. Clark of Philadelphia,
Treasurer Valentine G. Hall of New
York, Secretary Joseph 7. Whittlesey
of New Haven, Oliver S. Campbell of
Brooklyn, N. Y, Weland Larned of
Summit, N j., Richard Stevens Of Ho-
boken, N. j. Palmer Presbrey of Bos-
ton and Robert D. Wrenn of New York
The tournaments to be held in New
Haven are as follows: The Yale inter-
scholastic, to be held on the grounds of
the New Haven Lawn club on Saturday,
May /, the New England tournament
on May 26 and the intercollegiate tour
nament on October 5. 1t will be re-
membered that last year Yale's best
player was on probation and barred
from playing. AS result Harvard
captured the intercollegiate Trophy
Cup. 1t is hoped the rules Of the Yale
faculty will be either modified or not
in vogue upon the occasion of this sea-
sons event
Mr.. Arthur E. Foote, whose distinct
i've tennis qualities won for him the
honor of club champion, will in all
probability not be here to defend the
championship this year, as he is at
present in business in France.

Any noted advantages will be immedi-

which links are conceded to be finest in
the country

H0! FOR THE GOLF SEASON
NE " HAVEN LoYEES or THE SPORT
ARE ENTH USTASTIO.

Plans and Prospects for This Season--rm-
on the Game-Fair Woman, Too, May
Play.
The flag of popularity is flying over
the links of the New Haven Golf club,
and the most careless of observers
could not but note that the season is
merrily under way. There is a decided
breath of spring in the air, the snow
the golf fever is fast superseding the
grip.
1t is useless to talk of the game any
longer as the fad of an hour, for it
strikes much deeper; with the enthusi-
astic player it becomes a pleasing
thraldom and is difficult to escape FROM
A great advantage Of the game is that
it can be played at all seasons. On
days of the now waning winter, when
the thermometer was lowering around
| the freezing point, the unresisting lit
tie piece of gutta percha had it's fol-
| lowers. 1t is not difficult to account
for the popularity of the game, for it
affords, as few other games do, moder
ate vet sufficient exercise for all-suffi-
Gent for the young and strong, and yet
not too violent for those who are older
| or less robust. While it is simple
| enough for the unambitious to play
| with pleasure. it requires, to be played
really well, nerve, force, skill, endur-
! ance and last, but not least, self-con-
| troll for the generality Of golfers have
eccentricities, whether of temper, man
ner or what not which the golfer has
| to steel himself against as well as the
effect of his opponents proWess. There
are many distinctive influences brought
| to bear in the effort to overcome the
| terrible inertia of the ball, which make
| the ideal golfer a problem yet to be
| evolved. 1t is not a game which would
induce men of elegant leisure to COM
pete in, but those who have strong
mind and good muscle may find it a
| splendid exercise for their abilities
| Since the dawn of the golf club in
New Haven improvements at the
grounds are constantly being made.
1t may be truthfully said the club is
young but growing, and while not oc-
cupying places with st. Andrew, by no
means makes a mean showing. Last
fall nine new greens We're put in, which
will be ready for use in the course Of
s.lree or four weeks. OF the links it
may be truthfully said nature has CO.
operated with man, with the result that
the grounds hold place premier in
the state, and in playing through the
green there is full scope for the golfers
skill. Great excellence lies in the artful
planting of the bunkers; the grounds,
too, are so laid out that the holes can
be and are placed at such distance from
each other that every stroke tells. as
the following score will show.

Cuban Liberty.

The end OF the Cuban war and the
proclaiming of the Independence of
the island seem to be close at hand.
Weyler has just completed another
Intellectual campaign and n rainy
season will shortly prevent further
operations ON the part of the young
and ill-fed Spanish soldiers. The
Spanish government and people have
become discouraged. Almost their
last reserves have been called out,
their treasury is empty and their
credit is gone. Beside they have
another instruction Oh their hands
and one which, If successful, would
mean greater loss to the dominion
than the Independence of Cuba. The
natives in the Philippine islands have
become tired of the Spanish yoke and
are fighting for their liberty, with
less show of success, however, than
the Cubans, for the PHILIPPINE group
being situated on the other side of
powers would allow them to be freed
from Spain, for fear OF a disturbance
of the autonomy of Europe. These
Islands are off the coast of Asia and
are to that continent much what
Cuba is to North America, furnishing
a great portion of the sugar and to-
bacco for consumption. To quell
this rebellion Spain has already found
it necessary to withdraw $1,000
troops from Cuba. While the Spani-
ards are discouraged the insurgents
are moved to greater activity and
their liberty seeming assured, Amer
leans are lending more substantial
aid daily. While this government
has done nothing to help those strug-
Cling for liberty on the island, yet it's
citizens have been most generous and
the contamination of their hopes
seems not far off.

B. c. WHITE APPOINTED.
Formal Announcement Hade of His Appoint
ment as Superintendent Of the Reform
School.

Two weeks ago the ARGUS an
soon be appointed superintendent of
the Miles City reform school, and
while such announcement may have
been u little early, yet subsequent
events have proven the assertion.
1t appears that the appointment is
made by the trustees of the school,
but upon the suggestion of Gov.
Smith. Mr.. White will leave for
Miles City this week. The Independ-
ent of the 9th inst. says:
Gov. Smith received notice yester-
day from the local board of trustees
of the state reform school at Miles
City that it had appointed B. c.
White, of Fergus county, superin-
tendent of the reform school to sue
coed A. j. Hylton, who resigned.
The resignation of Superintendent
Hylton, which also included that of
Mrs. Hlyton as matrOn of the insti-
tuition, was the result, it is supposed,
of the investigation into the charges
against the management. The
governor does not have the appoint
i've power in the case of the superin-
tendent of the reform school, but
while he declines to say anything
about it until his report is ready, it
is supposed that he would have in
fluence with the board in making the
appointment ii he desired to exert il.
The governors report will he ready
in the near future, but not until then
will it be known whether there was
cause for the resignation of Mr.. Hyl-
ton and his wife other than their
own inclination.
The appointment of MI. White, it
is believed, will give general satisfac-
ton. He is a man of good executive
ability and, what is of great impor-
tance, has had experience in that line
of work, having formerly been con-
nected with the Elmira, n. Y, re-
formatory, the greatest institution
of the kind i'm this country. Mr..
White will u his duties April 1.

The inadequacy of the law or the
failure Of judges and juries to do
their duty, is largely the cause in all
sections, of citizens taking into their
own hands the punishment OF crimi-
nails. Were the law to avenge
promptly the crimes that are COM
mitted there would be less crime and
few, if any, lynchings. But too often
criminals are set free or after long
and expensive trials are sentenced to
short terms of incarceration. Such
miscarriages are what have led people
i'm many states to the belief that if
a criminal is to bepromptly punished
they must do it themselves Notices.
dangerous to a community ia the
rendering of compromise srdicts,
which are not satisfactory neither to
the theory that the defendant is

is the result of the trial in Cascade
county of Peter Welcome for the
murder of Albert Vieau. The theory
of the prosecution, and in seemed to
be borne out by the best of circum-
stantial evidence, was that Welcome
killed Vieau at the latter's home, the
result Of a long standing quarrel, and
then conveyed the body on a wagon
bed to his own ranch and deposited
it before his (Welcome's) window,
where the body was found. The de-
tense claimed, and Welcome testified,
that late at night Welcome heard
someone pulling the boards from his
window and that he shot at the OBJ
iect in defense OF his property and
life, Nieau having frequently threat
ened to kill him. After n long trial
defendant was found guilty of man.

fidence of the public i'm the laws and

The Populist editor of the Helena
Independent copies n long editorial

il has found "A corker for woolgrow-
ers because the Tribune does not
favor duty on wool. The views OF
the Tribune were well known by the
woolgrowers of Montana before the
aforesaid editor came to the statefor
the purpose of instructing thepeople.
The Tribune has advocated free wool
for a good many years and has not
been in line with the Republican
party OIL the tariff question in gen.
eral. 1t was not a warm supporter
of Mckinley for the presidential nom-
inatien, but it has a faculty OF tax
ing it's medicine and swinging into
line when it cannot dictate the party
policy. and last fall was no exception
to the rule. The Chicago Tribune
is a sort of political maverick that
tries to ape the New York Herald and
several other pro-British papers In
this country. The Tribune has no
influence with the present admins

Postmaster-General Gary has de-
cided that except in cases which pre-
sent some extraordinary eason for
a deviation the old rules will be ad-
hered to in the appointment OF post
masters. These rules in brief are
about as follows: Republican sena-
tors will be allowed to name the
p~ostmasters of the largest city in
their congressional district; Republi
can representatives will name all
other postmasters in their districts,
and in districts represented in con
gress by Democrats and Populists
and in states having no Republican
senators, the choice will be made by
the Republican chairman or some
other designated referee. The con
gressional delegations must also keep
track OF the expiration of the terms
of postmasters, as the department
will not notify them.
