GoFF AND MCCOY TO MEET.
Madden Announces That They VIII
Surely Come Toge:her.

Billy Madden, who is in Washington,
said yesterday that after Gus Rubin
meets Woolf Bendoff in Baltimore on
Monday night, Rubin and Charley
Goff, the California middleweight. will
proceed to Cincinnati and join Thomp-
sons veriscope and vaudeville compa-
ny, to meet all Corners during the week
beginning January q. From there the
party will go to Cleveland for week,
and afterward to Toledo, Columbus.
and other places, fulfilling a ten weeks
contract.
Madden says that he has made veri-
table match between Goff and Mccoy;
in fact, ne brought Goff from Califor-
MIA for that purpose He declares that
he has already received offers from sew
eral clubs for the match, including the
Spa and Eureka Clubs, of Baltimore,
and the Navarres, of Lexington, KY,
but will accept none until February 10,
when the highest bidder will get it. He
expects to get a purse OF $4,000 The
ten weeks theatrical contract he has
made contains clause which permits
him to abrogate it, provided it should
become necessary to allow Goff to train
for his contest. or for Rubin to get
ready for Peter Maher, who has agreed
to meet the big Ohioan whenever
purse of 1000 is offered for the match.
Madden's word. as a manager, has al
ways been reliable.

man, says that Traverser is the fastest
horse away from the post that lie has

Jockey Tommy Burns was badly in
iured in the fourth ICE at New Orleans
on Thursday. This may keep him out
of the saddle for several days. Burns
won on Blitzen's Sister in the opening
event and finished second on Dazzle In
the second race. In the third race he
had the mount on Uncas, a to / shot,

Whether Chica go will have a season of

TO cheer the Chicago racing people, but

NO matter who / am, but you can

The superintendent hastily took the
receiver and for the first time in the
history OF the world a man was heard
talking. 250 miles away, from the cab
in OF a submarine boat. The boat was
the Argonaut and was eight miles from
land when this telephone message was
sent. A gale was blowing on the sur
face of the bay and the beat was creep
ing along on her curious wheels over
the sandy bottom al the rate OF ABOUT
six miles an hour.
The inventor of the boat, Simon Lake,
sat in the rear of the cabin, while the
pilot kept q lookout through the heaVy
glass coming tower, and the engineer
manipulated the engine. Before MI
Lake was a reel on which he had coil
ed an ordinary telephone wire, incased
in rubber tube made for 1t. one eng
of the wire was fastened TO a telephone
at Mr.. Lakes elbow. the other ran into
the switchboard at the central office OF
the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company, in Charles street, Balt-

The boat crawled down the beach into
the Patapsco River, and thence out in
10 the harbor. When the last loot OF
the eight miles of wire had slipped
through the tube Mr. Lake rang the
telephone at his side. The answer was
returned from North Charles street IN
less than a minute.
After a brief conversation. connection
was made with the overland wires TO
Philadelphia. and thence 20 this city.
Capt. jacques talked With the inVen-
tor five minutes, after which coinhu-

of bu busketball, and after one of the mos;
hotly contested games in the whole series

New York. Jan. 21--BasS c ball as an eN-
ercise and recreation for women is grow

en!boiies the best points of football and

Mere brute strength is not essential 10

one for women.
Little more than two years ago basket

many female pupils at the big private
Evmnasiums of New York and Brooklyn.
Almost all the female enthusiasts enjoy
their practice in private, however, and
there are equently many teams of
which the public has not even heard.
Some of these players have no desire
FOR the excitement OF match games and
care nothing for the pleasure uf victory
or the p3ngs Of defeat. With them basket

An Outrage.

The arrest of Lieut. Garland, son of former Attorney General A. II. Garland, by Col GhandIerof the First Arkansas regiment of Volun- teers now in camp at Cnickamauga, is a species of outrage that should be denounced by the press of the country
 Lieut.. Garland wrote and caused to be circulated a petition asking that the First Arkansas Regiment be mustered out of service and be per m1tted to return to their homes, now that the cause for tEeir enlist ment has been removed since peace has been declared with Spain. For this he was arrested and placed in the guard house.
 The volunteer troops do not want to be sent to Cuba or Porto Rico or the Philippines merely to do gar rison duty They volunteered to fight for their country, but not to do police duty Many of them gave up valuable situations and employ ments to serve their country, but now that the war is over, they want to return to their homes to perform their several Occupations
 But not so with the officers. With them life is quite different. They can make more ia the army than they can possibly earn at home. Like the average Jefferson county office holder they knew snap when they have it and are 10th to part with it. Then these officers do not have to undergo the hardships of the common soldier. They live much better and more comfortably. And then with their gay epaulets and turkey gobbler struts they are the observed of all observers, and the admiration of frail and dckle femininity. To be an officer is to be on dress parade, look pretty, do nothing and draw big salsry. In

The good book tells us that as Paul was gong to Damascus to perseeute the christians he asaw Q great light, and at once became a convert to christianity. The days O miracles have not entirely passed, for 0ur a.st. neighbor, the Courier, has releuuy experienced an equally sfiden and peculiar con version. What kind of light the Courier saw is not stated, but some i'll natured people think that it was about in the shape of thls $ Press Eagle.
 Our young friends of the Courier are able to take care of them selves, but the above paragraph leads us to wonder what new light" the editor of the Press Eagle has seen since four years ago when he was so bitterly denouncing the straight ticket movement as new scheme of Triplett and Mccoy, who had held office under the compro- mise regime, to again foist and fast en themselves upon the people in fat offices. Itis not impertinent to inquire what great light" has brought about the Press Eagles conversion in so short a period. We have asked this question before, but the Press Eagle has vouchsafed us no explanation.
