MISS UNDERHTLL WINS.
Defeats Mrs. Fox for the WOman's
Golf Championship.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 14.-Miss Ruth
Underhill, of the Nassau Golf club, OF
Glen Cove, L. l., is queen of the women
golfers of the United States. This aft
ernoon, on the links of the Philadelphia
Country club, at Batal, near here, she
defeated Mrs. Caleb F. Fox, of the Hunt
ingdon Valley Country club. of Rydal,
Pa. by score of two up, with one to
play thus becoming the national cham>
pion. That she should win against Mrs.
Fox was a surprise to those who had
watched the playing of both Of them
during the tournament this week. Mrs.
Fox's playing had been of the stead
lest kind. She had the hardest road
to travel in the qualifying rounds, and
defeated the three-time champion, Miss
Beatrix Hoyt, on Thursday. The golf
played by Miss Underhill and Mrs. Fox
today was not of the championship kind,
and both have played better during the
week The greatest falling off was that
of Mrs. Fox. She topped innumerable
drives, and Miss Underhtll did not do
much better. Here. and there they made
good plays, but on the whole their work
in this line was only fair That both
were nervous could be easily seen when
they were on the green.
The weather today, as it was all the
week. was beautiful for golf, and the
links were almost in perfect condition
A large and fashionable gallery" was
in the train of the two aSpirants for the
championship, and took great interest
in the match. Both players started off
very evenly, as the first five holes were
halved. Miss Underhill got away better
for the sixth hole, and in consequence
she got the first hole of the match. She
also took the seventh hole, which made
her two up The eighth was also halveo,
but the Glen Cove player took the ninth
in seven, making her score for the out
ward course up. The first hole on
the inward course was also Miss Under
hills, but from here on her score gradual
ly dwindled. She became a trtf1e I'M
steady, while Mrs. Fox seemed just the
reverse The eleventh hole was wretch
edly played and was halved. The twelfth
hole was taken by Mrs. Fox, in beautiful
playing, making her 3 down. She holed
out the thirteenth in three, and also won
the fourteenth, making her only one
down The fifteenth and sixteenth were
halved, and Miss Underhill needed only
one more to win. Both drove well for
the seventeenth, and, after rather poor
display Of putting, Miss Underhill won
the hole and the championship. The
victor was roundly cheered. The cards:

BRADDOCK's GRAVE.
The Unfortunate Generals Body
Now Rests Near UniontOwn, Pa.

Baltimore Sun:
The grave of Gen. Braddock is near the
famous National road, some eleven miles
wes+ If Uniontown, Pa. The story of his
march and his defeat has never lost It's
charm 1t has been glorified in romance
and localized in poetry. The details Of
the expedition are famfliar-the struggle
in the wilderness near the city of Pitts
burg, the hopeless rout of Braddock' S
forces, the pathetic recital of his death.
and his burial in the road ever which the
army wagons passed that all traces of
his resting place might be removed and
his remains preserved from dissertation
at the hands of the savage. If the tradi-
ton that Washington read the burial
service at the improvised grave of Brad
dock be true, the scene must have been
one of the most impressive and sublime
sinE the early annals of our country. 80
The remains of Braddock rested in the
rude and unknown grave that had been
provided for them from his death, in
July, 1855, to- the year 1872. While the
road was in process Of repair the bones
of the fallen general were brought to
light, and after passing through several
vfcissitudes were at last placed in the
grave where they now rest near the lfne
of the National road The spot has been
inclosed, and a@cluster of pine trees COW
ers the modest space included in the
little cemetery:
The direful overtime of Braddock, the
logical outcome and consequence of his
own arrogance, superciliousness and
imaginary onniscience in the art of war,
has q deeper and far more comprehensive
significance when we contemplate 1t in
the light of contemporary developments
in Europe as we'll as In America, and
especially In the light of that complex
struggle in which it formed merely an
episode or a feature. Braddock. with all
the frailties and infirn1ities which his
character or his temperament exhibited,
was, in the prosecution of his ill-starred
campaign, the champion and the propa-

by which the supremacy of England was
established, France retaining not an acre

It's essential and distinctive features,

The Mahtomedi club will fairly Guido
itself next season. 1t sailed two classes
of boats last season, the second year Oh
its existence, and next season It will ada
two classes of sloops. Members of the
clu,, are on the alert for fast boats, ana
it is the intention to get as large d
field into the classes as possible. a meet
ing of the club has been called Tor "eo-
nesday next, when the matter Will Dc
fully discussed.
Two or three of the boats which nave
sailed in the cat class during the past
summer will be sloop rugged next season.
The Queen and Britannia have decided TO
don extra attire, and both of these should
Prove very fast as sloops. The old rivalry
existing between the two boats will be
increased with renewed vigor in the new
class.
Then there is the sloOp Hornet, which
has been so successful in the White
Bear club for several years past. She
will sail under the Mahtomedi colors next
year. and has been taken over to that
shore. In a light to medium wind the
Hornet is hard to beat.
Two other sloops which have been
prominent in the White Bear club are
also reported to have changed hands, and
will be seen In the Mahtomedt club In
1900.
The Banshee, with her majestic spread
Of canvas. will also try conclusions in
the sloop class Of this club. Notw1th-
standing her immense hull, the Banshee
is caDable of speed. which has been
demonstrated on many occasions
The success Of the sixteen foot larks has
thrcWn a number of members into
fever for larger boat of this style to be
sloop rugged. 1t is intended to make the
craft twenty-five feet over all ana
sliehtly wider than the present lark, with
as small a cockpit as practicable. Several
be placed.
The hotel dock at Mahtomedi next year
will be larger than this season in order
to better accommodate the great number
of boats on race days. 1t is also intended
to drop a number Of buoys near it to &C
commodate boat owners and visiting

Ridicule, However il Not Argument an
Facts are stubborn Things
Stomach troubles are so common
and in most cases, SO obstinate to
cure that people are apt to look
with suspicion on any remedy
claiming to be a radical, permanent
cure for dyspepsia and indigestion.
Many such pride themselves on
their acuteness in never being hum
plugged, especially in medicines.
This fear of being humbugged
can be carried too far, so far, in
fact, that many people suffer for
years with weak digestion rather
than risk little time and money
in faithfully testing the claims
made of preparation SO reliable
and universally used as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are vastly different in one import
ant respect from ordinary proprie-
tary medicines for the reason that
they are not a secret patent medi-
cine, no secret is made of their in
gradients, but analysis shows them
to contain the natural digestive
ferments, pure aseptic pepsin, the
digestive acids, Golden Seal, bis
muth, hydrastis and nux. They
are not cathartic, neither do they
act powerfully on any organ, but
they cure indigestion on the COM
mon sense plan of digesting the
food eaten thoroughly before it has
time to ferment, sour and cause the
mischief. This is the only secret of
their success.
Cathartic pills never have and
never can cure indigestion and
stomach troubles because they act
entirely on the bowels, whereas the
whole trouble is really in the
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken
after meals digest the food. That
is all there is to it. Food not di-
gested or half digested is poison,
as it creates gas, acidity, headaches,
palpitation of the heart, loss of flesh
and appetite and many other trou
bles which are often called by some
other name.
