HIS KISSING ESCAPADES GROSS
 LY EXAGGERATED.

Mayor James D. Phelan has met Hob son, talked with him, entertained him and formed his own impressions. He looks on him as a man who has been misunder- stood, his actions exaggerated-a hero who has been abused for acting in gen. tlemanly manner. In speaking of Lieu tenant Hobson MT. Phelan says:
 'Mr. Hobson has made a statement that reports from the East have been greatly exaggerated; that his actions, which were so severely criticized, were pure pat riotic enthusiasm on the part of others and with the absolute conviction that what I say is true, feel 1t my duty to speak what I know.
 Let us recall the events of the week. Hobson was idolized by every one week ago-admiration for him was universal. Unselhshly and deliberately he practically gave up his young life to his country. He, the highest type of an educated Amer ican-the man who showed exceptional ability and was graduated number one in his class. So imminent was the danger of his certain destruction when he en- tered upon his heroic exploit that it may be said of him that he came back from the dead His act was sublime.
 What American did not glory in his fame? What man was not eager to grasp his hand with patriotic fervor? What woman, In the intensity of her feeling, born of a more emotional nature, would not cherish him even as a son? Now this being the state of the public mind, on his way West, at the call of duty, he visited several Western cities. have the story from his lips. At one of the assemblages called in his honor some children were presented to him, and he impressed a chaste kiss on their rosy checks. Some women, following this example, greeted him in the same manner, desiring to ex- press their admiration In that way, and in the contagion of enthusiasm others followed. What was MT. Hobsons atti- tude under these circumstances? Simply that of gentleman, who for reasons of

PLAYED WITH WRONG IAN.

Half hundred students of the medical department of the Northwestern Univer- sity had a jollification one night. They took possession of an Alley '.Lp = train at Twenty-second street and held high jinks all the way into town. In their own words they played horse" with the oth- CT passengers, and they thought them selves very smart, indeed.
 But they were not quite so smart as they thought. There was an old man aboard-a nice old man with a white mus their own game. The occurrence hap pened in the smoking car. As the various stations were reached and passengers tried to get out of the him alongW was the cry, and the un- fortunate passenger was lifted bodily over the heads of the students, tossed in the air and finally thrown out upon the plat form. The guards told the unruly stu dents to cease their rough behavior or leave the train, but the admonitions fell on unfruitful ground. The fun grew more and more hilari1ls until Adams street

NEITHER ELEVEN HAS
 SUFFERED A DEFEAT
COMPANY H AND THE GOLDEN GATES ARE GREAT RIVALS.
The Teams to Line Up Against Each Other Tomorrow in Game That
 Promises Much Excitement,

There will be lively times at the Pre- sidio athletic grounds tomorrow. The crack football aggregation of Company H, League of the Cross Cadets, will be pitted against the Golden Gates In game that promises to be a warm one. The teams are rivals in every sense of the word and have been training assiduously for this contest Neither team has suf- fered defeat this season and neither team intends to have it's escutcheon tar nished by a defeat on Christmas day. Each eleven has following that numbers in the thousands and each following is preparing sundry yells and instruments of torture to drown the club cries Of the other. Last years game, which was played on Christmas day, attracted many thousands of spectators to the park and 1t is expected that twice the number will be present at to-morrow's game.
 Company HIS victories date back to the organization of the team in 1895. Since then it has defeated much heavier teams by united play and scientific moves. Among the most noted victories attained by the League of the Cross players was the defeat of the Kansas Volunteers, an eleven much heavier than their oppo- nents.
 Coach Cross of the Stanford team spoke highly of Company IFS players. He stated after the local aggregation had scored against the cardinals that it played one of the cleaneSt and most scientific games against the college eleven exhibited on the Stanford campus in years.
 The Golden Gates have very strong collection of players. J. O'Brien, it's full back, has a reputation as a punter and groundgainer, and as he is in good shape he should play up to his usual standard.
 It is understood that the League of the Cross Cadet band will be at the game to- morrow, and good music will be fur nished.

SOCIALISM THE SUBJECT.
Discussed at the scranton Open Par-
Lament Last light.

The subject discussed at the meet
ing of the Scranton Open Congress last
evening was Socialism" and it was
introduced by DR.. Szlupas in an ex-
cellent lecture. The hall was we'll
filled with an intelligent audience. A
number Of members of the board OF
trade were present and showed great
interest in the proceeding.
The lecture was replete with statis-
tics showing the increasing concentra-
tior of the wealth Of our country into
the hands of a few, to the detriment
of the general welfare, resulting in a
decline Of manhood through the equal
ly decreasing opportunities for men
to be independent or to become well to
do by means of honest toll
The discussion was slow at first,
but became SO much the livelier to-
ward the close. Mr.. Richardson up
held the rich men for furnishing en-
ployment to the poor, but thought that
the politicians We're to blame for all
our troubles. Mr.. James denied the
truth of the lecturers formidable sta
tistlcs and declared that they were not
worth the paper they are printed on.
Later on he declared that men like
William Connell did not make more
than one-tenth of one cent per day
on the many men employed, but that
the small employers OF labor must
make large profits on each man en-
ployed to be able to live.
Captain Moir called attention to the
history of the world which, he said,
shows that substantially the same con-
ditions have always prevailed. He re-
ferred to Josephs corner in grain in
Egypt and compared it to the present
operations in Chicago. He also point
ed out that there are certain differ
ences of conditions between now and
then which make it necessary for us
all to be socialists now so as to i'm
prove our government.
In closing DR.. Szlupas laid special
stress on the fact that there can be
no political liberty where there is econ
omic oppression.

BE CAREFUL JUST NOW
A Little Good Advice Which You win
DO We'll to Consider Mt This Time.

At this time of year, when we are
changing over from winter to spring
there Is always a low order of vitality
n reaction from the strains of the sea-
sons. The blood does not flow so full or
rapidly-the strength is less.
For these reasons all kinds of diseases
have a much better chance than at any
other season. We all know this from our
own experiences and those of our friends
and we are aware what a terrible amount
of grip, pneumonia and other diseases
there Is floating I'm the air and drawn in
by us with every breath. 1t Is q time for
exercising special care, for keeping the
blood In circulation and the system toned
up generally.
There is but one way by which a proper
reaction, at such n time, can be brought
about and that is by the use of n pure
stimulant, preferably whiskey. This is
universally admitted. but the trouble has
been to secure a good, pure and reliable
whiskey Indeed, there is hut one that
can be confidently and certainly recon-
mended for this purpose and that is Duff
fy's Pure Malt. 1t possesses qualities
known only to itself. 1t will bring about
"A reaction, cause the blood to circulate
prevent cold check pneumonia and
ward off grip. 1t has relieved more suf-
fering and saved more lives by reason of
these powers which 1t possesses than
anything of a similar nature which has
eyer been discovered. You will be wise If
you have ii on hand and use it whenever
you feel the least signs of disease or
weakening.

OPPOSED THE CONSTABLE.
Mink Had Trouble in Serving a
Search Warrant in Oakford Court,

The attempt of Constable Frederick
Mink of Alderman Wright's court to
serve a search warrant Monday night
at the house kept By Mrs. Coburn in
Oakford court, resulted in quite a
scrimmage.
The warrant was issued at the in
stance OF John c. King to aid him in
locating a bedroom suite. When Mink
started to search the house he was op-
posed by John Gigle and William
Schultz. Mink cut Schultz's scalp open
with a club. The latter escaped from
the house but was caught by Special
Officer Egle and committed to Jail by
Alderman Wright.
Gigle was also arraigned before the
alderman but settled the charge against
him. The bedroom suite was found, but
was not seized.
