discourse were Rev. DR.. George Perrin.

Rev. DIR. Brady, pastor of the Peoples
Temple. the leading Methodist church.
DR.. Perrin said: ITO my mind this
great popular interest practically set
ties the question Of the future of the
game in this country for years to come.
1t is idle to think of abolishing any out
door sport in which there is SO much
popular interest"
DR.. Brady said: .'!ff our universities
would take this game in hand and have
the rules SO revised that their worst
qualities should be wiped out. the game
would be helpful to the development OF
manly vigor.' , 5seo.a

ABOUT FIRE HYpRANTS
Communication Sent to the Board OF
Fire Commissioners

The following self-expla natory COM
munication has been sent by the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
through their secretary to the board OF
fire commissioners:
LOS ANGELES, Cal, Nov. 15 '97.
"To the Hon. Board of Fire Commits
sioners of Los Angeles: Gentlemen-ln
view of the fact that Spring street and
Main street between Temple and Ninth
| are about to be repaved. the board of
directors of this association request
your honorable body to provide mora
adequate fire protection on the streets
named at the same time that the other
| improvements are being made.
e4."At the present. time Spring and Main
streets are provided with one hydrant
to each block. and 1t must be evident to
yaur honorable body that such protec-
tion is entirely insufficient where mil
lions of dollars worth spf property are
at stake. f33
"The most valuable stocks of mer-
chandise as well as the most expensive
buildings are located on these main
thoroughfares. and in case of any seri-
Gus confagration the fire department
would be practically unable to render
adequate services in the protection of
those properties.
THE Merchants and Manufacturers
association therefore urgently requests
your honorable body to recommend to
the honorable city council that at the
time of the repaving of the streets
named, six hydrants. three on each side,
be placed in each of the blocks on Main
and Spring streets from Temple to
Fifth; four hydrants on each of the
blocks between Fifth and Ninth on said
streets. Respectfully yours (signed),
"F. ]. .ZEEHANDELAAR, Sec'y."

ATHLETES ON TRIAL
Two Famous Sprinters Not Guilty of
Professionalism

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-In its report
on the case of Wefers. charged with pro-
fessionalism, the committee says that
the publishers of Harper's Weekly, in
which paper the charge of professional
ism was published, refused to allow the
use or inspection of any evidence in their
possession. b. ]. Wefers appeared in
person and denied each and every state
ment made in the charges. The state
ment of j. s. Aborn of Worcester, Mass,
so far as it pertained to Wefers' broth
ers, was denied by J. A. Wefers in per-
son. In conclusion, the committee says
it deems it just to return the charges not
proved against B. ]. Wefers.
In the case of John Cosgrove the COM
mittee said that 1t was proved conclu-
sively that he is innocent of the charge
of professionalism"

PUBLISH THE PENSION LIST
THIS IS WHAT COMMISSIONERS
EVANS WANTS.
Says 1t Would Set the Gossips to
Work and Help to Unearth the
Frauds.

Washington, Dec. 25.-Pension Com
missioner Evans, in an interview, stat
ed some of his reasons Tor wanting to
publish the pension list. He said: THE
cry of pension frauds has become SO
common of late that the people do not
regard it seriously nowadays, and it
is for the express purpose of proving
the fallacy of this charge that I rec
ommend the publication Of a complete
list, showing each pensioner, his adj
dress, disability and amount of pen
sion received
This will do more to stop this idle
chatter than anything this department
can say. The list will show by this
woman or that man is being supported
by the government. But best of all
it will bring to light the frauds which
do exist We all know that there are
frauds, but / say, without fear Of con-
tradiction, that in no business enter
prise where SO large an amount Of
money is disbursed are there so few
mistakes.
'"rhe cost of publishing this pension
list may amount to 100000, but who
can estimate what it will save the
United States in unearthing frauds?
The publication will stir up neighbour
hoods and set the gossips to work.
They will detect the frauds and will
notify u.s.

SHALL WE BUY ST. THOMAS?2
DENMARK rs WILLING TO SELL
ITS REAL ESTATE.
Danes On the Islands Would Prefer
That Uncle Sam Purchase-Ger-
many and England Negotiating.

Chicago, Dec. 25-A special to the
Times Herald from Washington, D. c..
says:
Senator Lodge is preparing a bill
favoring the purchase of the three is
lands OF ST. Thomas. st. Croix and
st. John, owned by Denmark, in the
West Indies
The senate passed a resolution a year
ago asking the state department to
ascertain whether the islands were
still for sale. at what price they were
held and whether any other country
was after them. Denmark has replied
that she is still willing to sell and that
two European governments are now
negotiating for their purchase. These
are supposed to be Great Britain and
Germany.
The United States has been discuss
ing this purchase for nearly 80 years.
In 1868 negotiations went so far that
a treaty was negotiated for the pur-
chase by which this country was to
pay 600 for the islands, but it
failed of ratification.
On this occasion the people of the
islands voted on the question and de-
cided almost unanimously for annexa-
ton. The Danes do not want any
European power to secure possession
OIL Lne1Q. "A most liberal OIlSI WOuiu DC
made to the United States to purchase
at comparatively small price-almost
nothing-for it has been practically de-
termined by Denmark to either sell
these islands or give them liberty.
Most OF the residents of the islands
are British immigrants and their first
move after securing independence
would probably be to petition Great
Britain for protectorate. The pres
ent expense of maintaining the govern
ment on the islands reached S150000 a
year. Considering her position in the
European concert it. is not thought
necessary for Denmark to maintain a
station in the West Indies hence her
willingness to sell.
St Thomas has a harbOr large
enough to accommodate the navies OF
the whole world. and in view of the
advantages to be gained Senator Lodge
| is sanguine of securing an appropria-
ton that will enable the islands to be
| transferred to- the Jurisdiction of the
stars and stripes.
The three islands have a total OF
100 square miles of territory and a
population of 40 600.
ST Croix is the biggest. with &C
square miles and $4,000 population This
| land is very fertile and gives an excel
lent crop of all tropical products
| especially sugar.
