AMONG THE .BoWLERs.
Apparent Lack of interest in the Closing
Games in Bowling Tournaments.

The men who have charge of engineer
ing the amateur bowling teams through
the various tournaments are experiencing
considerable difficulty in getting the teams
together for the final games. Teams at
the bottom of the list and whose mem
berS know that they have no possible show
of winning out, have lost interest, and
fail to show up on the night Of scheduled
games.
In the Hurley trophy series, at the
Sherwood alleys, one more game remains
to be rolled, but whether 1t will be finished
this week or not remains to be seen. The
men in charge say they have been unable
to get a date on the match, but expect 1t
will be some time this week.
But few more games remain in the
Casino tournament, and Manager ONeil,
In view Of the interest shown IN the past
seven weeks series, has begun arrange
ments for another tournament, in which
eight teams shall take part. Three teams
have signified their intention of taking
part already.

ing set offered as prizes in the tournament

The forest is located near Holbrook,
in Apache county, Ariz. The largest
and finest specimens of sllcified wood
in the world are taken from it. Whole
trunks of trees and stumps with portions
of the roots are found there, converted
into stone as dense and hard as the
finest agate. Every cell and fibre of the
former wood is preserved in stone. A
forest of trees appears to have been en-
tombed in the rocks and to have been
preserved by a slow process Of replace

ing the bed, Subsequently the surround

manned.
Tons upon tons of specimens have
been taken away by collectors and deal

South Dakota for cutting and polishing
the stone for architectural and decora-
tive work. Sections of these trees, four
feet in diameter and large enough for
the tops of tables, have been cut and
polished. Many specimens were shown
at the Paris exposition, where they were
greatly admired for the perfect preser-

for the exquisite interblending of colors

A CANDY STORE ATTACHED,
The Lowney Company Claims That a
Local Concern Has Damaged it.

Deputy Sheriff James Early served an
attachment in suit for $4,000, Saturday
morning, on Rufus 0. Hanson, dealer in
fruit, confectionery, etc, at the corner
of Park and Salem square, at the
instance of the Walter ]. Lowney Com
pany Of Boston. This firm claims Han
son has been selling inferior chocolate
bonbons without name or trademark
and representing them as Lowney's.
Mr. Hanson is surprised and indig-
nant. He says that the store has been
in charge of his wife or clerk most of
the time lately, as he is a member of
the firm of Hanson & Brigham, dealers
in produce, and has very little time to
devote to the confectionery business.
He says all the Lowney goods handled
at the store are bought from G. A. Moi
fit, the larger part of them coming in
sealed packages, the only exception be-
ing in the case of the chocolate almonds,
which come loose.
The only explanation Mr. Hanson can
give for the charge is that the clerk,
who has been in his employ but a short
time, might have sold another grade of
almonds, thinking they were Lowney's.
Mr. Hanson Indignantly denies the inn
putation that he was aware that inferior
goods were being substituted for the
above brand.
Another interesting feature in connec-
ton with the matter is that Friday Mr.
Hanson sod his interest in the store tc

works Of Ekaterinburg, in Russia, with
their wealth of kalkansto jasper, mas

SAMPSON HONE AGAIN.
The Admiral Comes to Attend His
Daughters Wedding.
THE FUTURE OF THE OUBANs.

] he People at Present, Says the Ad-
miral, Are Certainly Not Able to Gov
ern emselves-ProbIem VIII Not
BE Settled For Two or Three Years.
New York, Dec. 24-The United
States cruiser New York, from Havana,
has arrived here Admiral Sampson
was on board. with Mrs. Sampson To
some newspaper men who boarded the
New York at Quarantine the Admiral
said he had come home to attend his
daughters wedding on Jan. at Glen
Ridge N. ].
Admiral Sampson said that the per-
fecting of the custom house service and
the official police in the island were the
two most important features in con-
nection with Cuba. When General
Greene and Chief McCullagh had es
tablished their police force he thought
there would be little disorder The ad-
miral said the material benefit from the
reduction of Cuban custom receipts
could not be judged at present, and re-
marked that there had always been
so much fraud in connection with Gu
ban customs that 1t was impossible to
change everything right away.
In answer to the question, do you
think the people OF Cuba will prove
amenable to the American govern
ment?" Admiral Sampson said
1T does not make any difference
whether they are or not. We are down
there, and our government will go on
as long as it is necessary"
The admiral said that De Castro, the
civil governor of Havana, was doing
as well as could be expected. and by
the first of January all of Cuba would
be officially evacuated except Matanzas
and one or two other points.
Regarding the suffering throughout
Cuba, which Mrs. Sampson has been
working hard to alleviate, Admiral
Sampson said:
1.-THE government Is issuing rations
regularly, but the reconcentrados are
now scattered, and there is the diff
Guilty, Many of them have died, anC
many more will die They lack tool:
to work their farms, and the only eroI
they could raise now is sweet potatoes
1t is too late to raise sugar"
ReYerting to the question of the flu
ture of Cuba, Admiral Sampson said
1.-The wealthiest and most Influential
people in Cuba want the island an.
neXed to the United States, whether as
a state or territory they do not care
But there are many Cubans VINO think
that they are able to govern them
selves. Cuba at present certainly is II
no condition to govern itself. The
question OF what shall become of Cubs
will not be settled for q year at least
and possibly not for two or three years
In the meanwhile the military govern
ment by the United States will go on.
