ODDS AND ENDS OF SPORT.

Keene Fitzpatrick, the new athletic
trainer at the University of Michigan, re-
turned to Ann Arbor last Saturday to be-
gin rounding the track athletic team into
shape. One of the first things he did was
to put his foot down most emphatically
upon the plan of sending big team to
take part in the Notre Dame games,
March II. Fitzpatrick says the men are
in no condition to compete thus early in
the season.
A meeting of the executive board of the
intercollegiate Athletic Association has

WOMEN IN ADVERTISING.
A Line OF Business That Many Of
Tham Seem to BE Just FIT z
= &s TED For, Ht $751;.

Woman, it has been demonstrated,
knows how to whoop things up in the
advertising line. She is success in al
most every branch Of the business, and
is beginning to find out that a great deal
of money is to be made in this field.
Where there was one woman engaged
in the work ten years ago ten are to
be found to-day, declares the New York
Sun. B.. 4
-. A man who knows as much about the
advertising business as any other in
the city, said, when questioned about
the women in the business: my ex-
perience has been that woman is sue
cess in every line of advertising which
she has attempted to follow. She is
an excellent solicitor, much better in
certain departments than men, she
knows how to write 30 as to appeal to
women better than men do, and she
knows how to illustrate advertisements
or to have them illustrated just so they
will catch the eye of women. I've tried
any number of men in the religious de-
partment, and they've failed. I say to
q man: We ought to have great many
more religious notices in such and such
q paper and he comes back and says
that the persons won't see him. No
woman solicitor ever returns with such
astory of failure. To my certain knowl-
edge one of the finest advertising spe-
cialists in Greater New York is

RUSSIA'S PLATINUM MINES.
A Great Many Of Them Have Fallen
Into the Hands Of Foreign
Syndicates.

Practically the whole Of the worlds
supply of platinum comes from Rus
sia. Nearly all the important mines
have passed into the hands of foreign
ers. According to st. Petersburg
newspaper, there is group Of mines
concentrated in the Verkhotursk dis
trict of the government of Perm, num-
bering about 70, of which 40 are be-
ing worked. In the course of last year
several of these passed into the hands
of foreigners, including Paris syn
dictate having a capital of several mill
lion francs, and five out of the exist
ing seven great platinum enterprises
in the Urals are now reported to have
been purchased by foreigners. There
is said to be really no demand in Rus
STA for the metal, and when Russians
owned the mines they exported the
ore in the rough state to be treated
in Germany and other countries. The
production of the mines in the Verk-
hotursk district amounted last year
to about six tons. This may not seem
a large quantity when we consider that
platinum is the heaviest Of the met
ais, excepting the still rarer metal,
iridium; but it must be borne in mind
that it can only be compared with
gold in value. The price per ton was
estimated, in connection with the pur-
chase of some of these mines by the
Paris syndicate already referred to, at
from 100000 to $96O,00O. When it is
considered that no new veins of the
metal have been discovered in Russia
for long time, and that the present
veins will soon be exhausted, it becomes
evident that the Russians have lost
an important industry, and the only
one which enjoyed a monopoly of the
worlds supply,

GOLD TEETH NOT ALL GOLD.
They Are Often Only Removable
Shells, Which Are Worn to
Make a Show.

IT'D hate to pay that woman's dentist
bills" said business man to friend
on a South side L train the other day.
Across the aisle from the man was a
woman who showed enough gold every
time she opened her mouth to make
a man want to leave home and try his
fortunes in the Klondike. Two of her
upper teeth had been replaced by pieces
of FURNISHED metal, and one of her low
er teeth also had q % carat sheen about
it. Her companion had only one gold
tooth, but she kept it doing the work
of three by a constant smile, says a
Chicago paper.
"That's another case of the old adage,
All that glitters is not gold,'" said the
business mans friend. Zone of the
latest dental novelties makes gold teeth
possible to anyone at small cost and
without even sacrificing a healthy in
cisor to make room for the metal For
quarter you can get shell that can
be stuck over any front tooth and with
an excuse to smile you can present a
regular gold mine to the astonished
public. Actresses first affected the
gold tooth, and then the Yankee man
got an idea. In short time there was
an epidemic of gold teeth. The novelty
man came out with his plated shells and
sold them like hot cakes. No one but
the dentist has any kick against the
imitation gold tooth, and as dazzler
it is hard to beat. That woman's teeth
may be the real stuff, but I believe she
can slip them of when she wants to
and get them plated when they get
tarnished." >a%#.. 49,. ~. L..

A "TOBACCO CITY,"
The Effort to Gain for Richmond q
- @Ddstinetion Now Enjoyed BIZ j.
Other Places,

Pittsburgh is the "Iron City" among
American municipalities, Chicago is the
Live Stock City," Boston is the 'Wool
and Wooden Wear City," Troy is the
collar and Cuff City," and Paterson is
the "City of American Silk distinc-
tons which is found imprac6cable by
rivals to overthrow and which have
been retained only through vigorous eff
forts and against active competition.
A sixth is perhaps to be added to the
number of American cities which have
a distinctive celebrity, in Richmond,
Va. At recent meeting of tobacco
nists at the Westmoreland club it was
suggested to make bright loose Leaf
market in Richmond.
There are many large buyers Of
bright tobacco, and all are influential
in the tobacco community. Most of the
bright tobacco used in Richmond now
is bought in North Carolina markets.
All this great business is to be trans
ferred to Richmond. Several similar at
tempts have been made in recent years,
but they failed because they lacked the
proper backing. There are two internal
revenue districts in Virginia, the Sec
ond, in Richmond, and the Sixth, in
Lynchburg. In the Richmond district
last year 26,0O0,00O pounds of leaf to-
bacco were used in tobacco manufac-
turing, a larger quantity than in any
other, with one exception, in the coun-
try, and the proposition is to-, make
Richmond the veritable tobacco city,
Of the country, for which distinction it
has many advantages, being in the
heart of rich tobacco district, in easy
access of the coast line, which the to-
bacco districts of Kentucky and Mis-
souri, are not, and railroad center,
which is not the case with any city in
North Carolina. Il,
Richmond is gaining rapidly in
wealth and population, and the extent
of its tobacco interest is such as to JUS
tify the belief that twill ultimately ex-
coed all other American cities in this
particular, Richmond has now more
than $7,000,0O0 invested in tobacco fac
tories.-N. Y. Sun. ..~... IT, !.

.MANuA'S STRANGE sPANICs.


All OF the recent letters from Manila
refer to the panics which seized the Is.
habitants Of the city at frequent inter.
vals during the days just preceding the
recent battle. One Of these stampede
is thus described BY Capt. Elliott, Of The
Cofteyville company in the Twentieth
Kansas: About $3.50 o'clock the ma
tives and Chinese were observed to be
running in every direction: PRESENTLY
the soldiers began. to come from eyery
avenue in the direction of the barracks.
They moved quickly, but with remark
able GOODNESS and steady demeanor.
Corp. Barbers whom had sent on al
GRAND. near the barracks of the, First
battalion, came to my room, saluted
ike the good soldier thatshe is, :, ana
said: Captain, there is sometime
wrong going on in the city; the natives
are fairly flying in all directions, the
Chinese ,; are running like rats to their
holes and the. stores are being closed
Like reports came in from all direc-
tons from men who had been in differ
ent parts Of the city. The call to ouar.
tiers was sounded, the rolls were called
and every man Of my company not on
duty answered Here The same was
true, Of the other companies of our bat

caught away from home and did not
get in on time. f;:'.:. y. 7 ~ %zzss
:: ION the Escolta, at the bridge Of
Spain, and in the walled city the scene
that followed was beyond my powers
OF description. No one seemed to be
aware OF the cause of the stampede. I
never witnessed anything like it in NV
life. The wave of excitement swept
over the entire city after the manner.
OF cyclone. The street cars were
damned together in groups; carrabos'
carts piled up against one another and
barricaded the: narrow streets, ~occu-
pants thrown out; doors and shutters
were closed and barred; men, women
and children ran hither and thither and
crowded and jostled one another in
their frantic efforts to escape some
dreadful, direful calamity.
The soldiers alone behaved with adj
mirable GOODNESS. Guards were doubled
and trebled. In an incredibly short
space of time platoons of infantry were
thrown across each approach to the
great bridge, and no one but soldiers
afoot was allowed to pass. Armed men
took possession of the Escolta and the
avenues leading thereto, and used their
persuasive powers'to calm the storm
and bring order out of chaos. American
courage and display of American
sense and judgment prevailed. In less
than an hour the 'whirlwind' had
passed and trade and traffic were re-
sumed. The question with the soldier
was: What in the - was it all about,
anyway? "-Kansas City Journal.
