DIR. coMPToN's CHALLENGE.
Results i'm "a Match at the EIkridge
Golf Tournament.

The Elkridge golf tournament is furnish
ing much genuine interest for the ad-
mirers Of that game. Baltimore has never
before had so many golfers within her linn
its. Some of the very best players in the
East are there, and each day brings spirit
ed and excellent play. The Washington
contingent at the tournament is doing
some good work.
The most interesting event of the tour
nament for the Washington folks will be
the match in the semi-finals on Saturday,
between ]. F. wilkins, of the Chevy Chase
Club, and NJ. B. Huff, of the Belmont
Club. of Philadelphia. These gentlemen
are counted among the very best golfers
at the tournament.
DR.. Compton, who is one of the strong
est players in the Chevy Chase Club, was
anxious TO meet Mr.. Huff in the Elkridge
cup tournament. Before they could meet,
however, DR.. Compton was pitted against
Mr.. Courtney Jenkins, and was defeated.
That threw him back into the consolation
cup contest and disappointed him in his
desire 10 meet and defeat Mr.. Huff in the
tournament. He challenged Mr.. Huff,
however to a 36-hole match, to be played
today. The match has caused much in
terest and il will be witnessed by num-
ber of the clubmates of each player A
number of wagers have already been made
on the result, and when the Washington
and Philadelphia contingents meet there
are likely to be many more.

PATE WAR PREDICTED.
Effect of the Supreme Court Decision
on Tariffs.

Baltimore, Oct. 26.-Officials of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company are
not at all disturbed by the decision OF
the United States Supreme Court, Virtu-
ally dissolving the Joint Traffic Associa-
ton. of which the Baltimore and Ohio has
been a member. The general opinion Is
that the decision paves the way for an
omen rate war, and that until some sub
stitute for the disrupted association shall
have been found the war will be one OF
the fiercest known in railroad history.
For several months railroad rates nave
been thoroughly demoralized and to
great extent the impending war has been
forestaled The war will now be con-
Quoted openly, instead of covertly as here
tofore. The opinion was expressed that
the Joint Traffic Association would hnd
as its successor an enormous railroad
pool. and that extra efforts would be put
forth to secure the enactment OF the bill!
which passed the House of Representa-
tiyes, but which failed in the Senate.
legalizing the pool which the railroad
companies have desired.

PIERCED BY ROCKET STICKS.
Fatal Accident mt a Tammany Rati
hcation Meeting.

hcatiOn Meeting.
New York, Oct. 26-Peter Bowen, n vet
eran member of Tammany Hall, sixty
three years of age, and clerk in the Of
flee of Highway Commissioner Keating,
was pierced by two rocket sticks at a rat
ification meeting last night, and fell dead
on the instant
1t was a Tammany ratification meeting,
at which he was assisting. The Julius
Groh Association had organized the cele-
bration. which was significant by reason
of the fact that this Is Mr.. Grohs first
year under the banner of the Democracy.
Bowen, whose pride it was to have wit
messed more ratification meetings than
most of his neighbors, stood at the south
east corner of Twenty-ninth Street and
Second Avenue. in the vortex of the ex-
element AT o'clock brass band struck
up The Star Spangled Banner" and
Bowen waved his hat. Ten minutes later
the fireworks began.
With the delight of a boy he threw
back his head to watch the rockets which
scared, sputtering, into the air. A bon
fire close by threw his figure into strong
relief, and he was recognized by many
old friends.
The catastrophe was swift-so swift
that it was not comprehended until af-
terward. Something went wrong with a
dynamite rocket, one Of the star pieces of
the pyrotechnical program. Instead of
soaring skyward il exploded prematurely
and projected the two sticks attached to
it In a horizontal direction With the
speed of arrows they whizzed straight at
the old Tammany enthusiast. One enter
ed his side between the fourth and fifth
ribs, the other imbedded itself in his neck.

rection has ever been made, whether il is
ever more highly developed in man as
compensation for the loss of other sense s.
Blind men have sometimes exceptionally
acute hearing, or very sensitive touch
Do those who are blined and deaf have
any keener sense of smell in conse-
quence? II depends, no doubt upon the
extent TO which the sense of smell is use
full in comparison with, or in default Of
other senses
ITO most of us, perhaps, it would be a
very doubtful gain to have a keener
sense of smell. Bad smells, as a rule. are
more numerous and more potent than
good smells, and few persons would be
happier if they could detect more OF
them. Prof. Ayrton tells us that metals,
for example, have very little smell of
their own, but acquire smells by being
handled, and that the smell is due to the
action Of perspiration. Ii is TO be hoped
that his researches will not render more
apparent or easier for our noses to de-
tect, the various smells that coins must
acquire in their passage through many
human hands. not always clean, or their
sojourn in many unsavory pockets Here.
as IN regard to many other smells which
dog can no doubt detect while we are
unaware of them, where ignorance is
bliss tits folly to be wise Not even the
power of detecting inferior glass would
compensate for so undesirable an acqui-
sition to our knowledge
''ro unscientifc and irreverent minds il
sometimes appears that science has hith-
erto been largely concerned in making
smells, and some of them very disagree
able ones. When the colors of the labora-
tory are diffused on larger scale over
a whole neighborhood by soap or alkaIi
works or other chemical trades we do not
feel grateful to science; nor viii she con-
sole our offended nostrils by researches.
however interesting, into the velocity or
the distribution of smells Such odors
travel quite fast enough and are suffi-
ciently diffused TO make us wish TO know
10 more about them, except how they
may be prevented If Prof Ayrton will
hold out this prospect as part of the
lUXuriant growth of technical application
which he foresees from research into the
physics of smell we shall all encourage
and applaud.
with the phenomena of association
connected with particular smells his
branch of science, we presume, would not
attempt TO deal. An odor, as we know,
will sometimes call up long-vanished days
and forgotten memories. The scent of a
hrwood or rose garden will cling to the
mind as that of potpourri or musk to
glass. or of wine to the cask, and it is
true in some respects of mental as of
physical phenomena, that, as Horace
says, 'Ques semel est imbuta recens, ser
Vabit odorem Testa diu.' If the men of
science will tighten their research into
the physics of smell by an occasional di-
gression into this more poetical and SEN
timental aspect of the subject they will
make it more interesting for average
mortals, and not less dull for them
selves"

the rate of 40 miles an hour, ragged in
Western Wisconsin all yesterday. The
temperature has gone down to 20, and is
steadily dropping. Telegraphic service

TO EVADE A SHERIFF.
A Pilot Remains at Sea to Avoid
Paying AlimOny.

Paying AlimOny.
New York, Oct. 26.-Seven months ago
the supreme court ordered Thomas J..
Reese, pilot, to pay his wife s25 a
month alimOny.
Deputy Wagering was given the order
with instructions 10 collect from Reese
or commit him 10 Ludlow Street jail.
Wagering went forth rejoicing, believ-
ing that he would soon catch his man at
the pilots headquarters in Pearl Street.
He discovered that Reese was comfort
ably installed on the station boat New
York. anchored outside Sandy Hook.
Decoy kilograms were sent to him at
great expense, and he paid no attention
to them Decoy letters of all sorts went
regularly to the station boat, and still
there was no sign of Reese. All through
the long summer days he Iounged on the
deck of the pretty station, watching the
commerce of the port sail in and out. AT
night, when the wind was from the
north, he could hear the sound of music
from Coney Island, and every evening he
was an interested spectator of the hre-
works at Manhattan Beach. Occasional
ly he would vary his quiet life by trip
on one of the small pilot boats out 10
sea to meet an incoming steamer.
When Coney Island and Manhattan
Beach closed and the lights along the
shore died out Reese got lonesome. The
lawyers concluded that he would become
tired of his enforced idleness on the sta
tion boat and try to get ashore.
Reese's son, a bright boy, was sent out
to patrol South Street six weeks ago in
search of his father. Last Sunday Reese
hankered so strongly for shore that he
came in. His son saw him and reported
to Deputy Wagering, who found his
man in Front Street saloon telling
what a wise man he was. He was sent TO
Ludlow Street Jail, where he still re-
mains.

but mortally wounded Talley Murfree, a

Neely started in pursuit. Officers and
citizens Joined in the chase and Martin
vas caught.
An attempt TO interfere with the Off
GERS was made by some colored soldiers
in the town, and before they could be
gotten away from the scene of the trou-
BILE a large number of white citizens had
secured weapons and serious trouble was
threatened. Martin was, however, lodged
in Jail and Neely also placed under ar
rest Deputy Sheriff Murfree can live
only a few hours.

POISON IN HIS FOOD.
A Couple Charged With Attempting
to XIII an Old Man.

Havensack, n. Y, Oct. 26.-Max
Weber and his wife are charged with at
tempting to kill Louis Schmarenberg, sew
enty-three years old.
Some time ago, it is alleged, Weber
induced Schmarenberg to deed him his
property, which amounted 10 about S.
600, and in return was to feed and cloths
him, and provide medical attendance for
the remainder of his life. Schmarenberg
charges that after he had been living
with the Webers for short time they
began to neglect him, and put him in a
separate part of the house, and made him
do his own cooking. Last spring he was
made violently sick by eating bean soup
given him by Mrs. Weber, and the doc
tors testified that the symptoms describ-
ed were those of arsenic poison. Mrs
Weber gave him sugar and coffee in a
box, and one occasion he was made very
III by drinking some of the coffee.
A chemist testified that he had found
enough arsenic in the sugar given him
for analysis to kill four men.

storm began at midnight and was accom-
panied by a strong wind, which has pre-
vailed since with increasing vigor. Tele-
praphic communication has been inter-
rupted.
At Chillicothe, Mo-, the wind blew a
nerfect gale and at Sedalia the heaviest
snowstorm known in the history of Cen
tral Missouri for the month of October
is reported.

midnight is still raging. Immense dam
age was done throughout the city to tele-
nhone. electric light wires and in some
instances street car lines were compelled
to suspend operations after o'clock in
the evening Many trees were blown
down in all sections of the city.
There was no loss of life. and the only
accident on the lake so far reported is
the wrecking of the lumber-laden bark,
Isabella Mears. The bark broke away
from a tug at the mouth of the Chicago
River, and was carried out of the harbor
Her crew was taken off by the life-saving
crew and the bark left to her fate She
struck off Sixteenth Street, and went TO
pieces.

TOO MUCH CHAMPAGNE.
Chinese Emperor's Illness Ascribed
TO Over-InduIgence

to Over-InduIgence
Pekin, Oct. 26-It is asserted that the
Emperor shows all the characteristic
symptoms of Bright's disease
He notices he has no sensation in his
fingers. His lower limbs and abdomen
are swollen and cold. Immediately after
eating he feels discomfort and suffoca-
ton, and most frequently is unable to re-
tain what he has swallowed
He breathes with difficulty and suffo-
Gates on making the slightest effort, even
a slight movement; complains of palpita-
tion of the heart and has long suffered
from a genital discharge of which he
complains much.
To sum up he has been seriously i'll for
two years.
The origin of the disease is to be sought
in the peculiar kind of life which the
Emperor has led. 1t is said discreetly
that he has made great abuse of cham
pagne since fourteen years of age
A strictly milk diet has been prescribed
but it is more than probable he will con-
tinue to follow the Chinese treatment
