MIR. Eaton won the first hole and was
even up to the sixth hole. but after that
DO could not make headwAy against his
opponent, who Was at the top of his
game.
On the last hole of the match, the sixth
Of the second round. a owd gathered to
see the last play which should decide
the championship Mr.. Eaton mad the
honor and driving with clsek he landed
on the hill to the right of the hole about
% yards away. Mr.. Hoyt drove with
Gran cleek to which he is much at
tsched. and went about 10 yards beyond
and to the left Of. the hole. Mr.. Ration
played the odd. using mashie and was
about so feet short. With his putter Mr..
Hoyt ran 1t up to within six inches of
the hole. Mr.. Eaton therefore had q 80
putt for a half He took a long time to
study the ground and made very care
full putt, but lost the hole and with 1t
the chance for the cup.
In spite of the dismal weather there
were 30 or more spectators present.
Mr.. Hoyt earned his title to champion
by good play. His score of 4S OF the $50.
ond round semi finals and 40 In the first
round of the finals, "a, is within one
stroke Of the club record. His ten on the
sixth hole of the last round was his only
bad hole and he made but one other hole
over seven In the whole days play. That
was the third hole In the first round Of
the semi finals.
Mr.. Hoyt has been In Portland but
short time. He has been an enthusiastic
member of the golf club and did fine SER
vice for the club in the team matches
this summer. The remarkable thing
about Mr.. Hoyt's playing Is that he has
played surprisingly short time. He
never had q golf club In his hands
until August, 1898. With most men 1t
takes years Of patient practice to reach
proficiency. Mr.. Hoyt, however. has been
noted athlete In other lines. He has
broken many records as . sprintsr. In
1895 he was champion of two counties In
New York at tsuuis, and he played many
years on the base ball team Of the Staten
Island Cricket club until 1895. Tying.
the famous Harvard ball player, who has
now become . celebrated golfer. was Q
member Of the same team. Mr.. Hoyt
shows In his golf style unmistakabls
evidences Of his previous base ball ex-
perience, but like many another ire
formed base ball player" he has 90
trained his eye and muscles that he has
become first-class golfer.
The consolation prise was won By Mr..
George Noyss.

THE CUP WON.
Exciting Finish of the Golf Club
Tournament.

The last and chief event of the year on
the links Of the Portland Golf club VA
finished Saturday In a heavy Scotch
mist. Probably most Of the people In the
CITY who had friends In the contest
thought they were to be pitied for having
to play In such weather. But the golfers
found the atmospheric conditions dscid-
eddy to their liking as is shown by ths
excellent scores which were turned In
as the results Of the Gays play.
The scoring was poor In the preiimi
nary medal play or Thursday. but Sat
urday most of the playing was remark
ably good.
The semi finals in the forenoon resulted
as follows:
W. G. Eaton beat c. II. Payson. up
and to play.
n. II. Hoyt beat r. Payson up and
to play.
On Friday there was q misunderstand-
ing between MIR. q. II. Payson and Judge
]. II. Hill as to whether they should play
in the afternoon In the weather that
seemed to be threatening. Mr.. Payson
understood his opponent to say that he
would not be out, SO lost his match by
default. AS Judge Hill could be present
Saturday the matter was readily adjusted.
Mr.. Charles Payson Is one of the mem
beers who has been making very rapid
progress Of late. His first round Satur-
day was excellent and he began the Sec
ond all even, but after that bis play tell
Cd.
The Hoyt-R. Payson match In the semi
finals was one OF the most interestin g
played on the Portland grounds this
year. Mr.. Payson's long game was su-
perb throughout. In the first round his
putting was perfect, but in the second
round his approaching and putting were
not quite up to his previous work.
The score by holes was as follows:
(lst y holes
Hoyt, 7-6-s-4-7- 4-4-5-5-50
X. Payson, 5-46
(2nd 8 holes.)
Hoyt 6-6-6-56-3-4-4-6-46
r Payson, 7-6-S-4-S-5 -5-5-6-54
That this was good scoring may be
understood from the fact that the club
record for nine holes is As which. by
the way, 1t happens has never been made
by either Of these oontestants, although
Mr.. r. Payson holds the club record for
IS hole, having made 46-47: SO In com
potion this spring. It must be remem-
hsrsd also that ON account Of stiymies, Of
which there were a number in this
match, SCORES are regularly higher in
match than in medal play. MIR. Hoyta

WOMEN AND MORPHINE USAGE
increasing Prevalence of the Narcotic
Habit.

Increasing Prcvalance OF tile NafcOblc
Habit
The use of narcotics is growing
alarmingly frequent among the rest
less, nervous members of the gentler
sex. The amount of morphine used
by women is increasing at an alarm
ing rate" said physician. 81 do not
give the drug at all, save in extreme
cases, for l believe we doctors are
largely responsible for the spread OF
the evil. 1t seems such an easy, mer-
ciful thing to relieve acute suffering
by dose of morphine, and it would be
all right if the patients couldn't get
the drug themselves. They can get
it, There's the trouble. l was called
to see one of my patients last week.
She is a wealthy woman. She devel-
oped the morphine habit two years
ago, when she had serious illness.
Since then she has had periodical
sprees with morphine, in spite of all we
could do to prevent her. She always
says that the deplorable state she gets
into is due to other causes; but can
tell as soon as l see her whether she
has been taking morphine. Last week,
when l wert to see her. she was
nervous wreck and said she had been
agonizing with rheumatism. Rheuma-
tism is a handy thing. A doctor
cant swear that patient hasn't got 1t,

on a morphine spree. She denied 1t.

Curious Lightning Freak.
During the thunder storm on
Che night of the 18th a terrific
and unusual electro explosion
occurred at what is known as the
Tom Cooke place in Abilene, rem
derinG the building almost a total
wreck. The house was occupied
by 7. NJ. Wingo, Mr.. and Mrs.
Harkrider and little child and
servant girl. That they escaped
without serious injuries was al
most a miracle. The house was
struck on the east side by lightn-
ing which entered the building
and exploded with great vio-
Ience. Every window in the build
ing was shattered, the glass being
broken into fragments, and thrown
outward for several yards from
every side. On the east side, where
the explosion seemed to be more
severe, was the parlor which was
occupied at the time of the ex-
plosion. On this side the
Notwithstanding was stripped
from the side of the house and
hurled into the street with such
force as to knock down the
yard fence thirty feet away. The
roof was broken in several places
and the house was otherwise
wrenched and damaged. The
electric light and telephone wires
were burned out as if they had
been straws, no sign of wiring
left within so or 100 feet of the
building. Furniture was upset
and glass and porcelain ware was
crushed and shattered. The cur
tains and drapery were set on fire
in many places, and it was only
prompt action that the house was
saved from burning,
Mr.. Harkrider, who occupied
south side of the building, although
terribly shocked, was never I'M
concious says that the first inn
preston received was the flash of
light, followed by a tremendous
Earring noise, after which small
balls of fire whirled through the
room. In this room the occu-
pants slept on brass bedsteads
and wool mattresses, and proba-
bly, thus escaped the severity of
the shock. Numerous small holes
however, were burned in the bed
clothes.
Mr.. Wingo occupied room on
the north side of the building, and
was rendered unconscious for
some minutes. The window by
which he slept was blown out, as
by the force of powerful tor
nado.
