ON PLEA OF ECONOMY.
Army Bill VIII Be Urged For I'm
mediate Passage.

Washington, Nov. 24.-Chairman Hull,
OF the house committee on military af-
fairs, has called a meeting Of the com
raittee for next Tuesday. He hopes that
a quorum will be present and that the
committee can go to work Immediately
upon the lines of new army bill 1t
will be in the direction of economy to
pass the army bill without delay" said
Mr. Hull today. THE army now In the
Philippines will have to be brought
home in the summer, that is, those of
the men who do not care to re-enlist.
The transports which go out for them
should depart laden with the troops who
are to replace them, else the ships will
make one voyage empty
MIR. Hull was in conference today with
the president and with officials of the
war department upon the character of
legislation desired by the administra-
ton He said the president will COM
1nunicate to congress fully his recon-
Ynen1ations about the army and assume
to speak the presidents mind in ad-
vance.
He thought however, that the admin
istration would not be content with any
ll1akeshift legisla ton, any proposition to
continue the present law for two years
more. His impression was that the pres
ident wanted authority to raise a regu-
lar army sufficient for the country, 100,
600 men If necessary, the number to be
reduced when there was no longer any
need for them.
NAf-f1ui sald tHS dLt SoIntlllsSIOL ndu
reported that 15,0o0 Filipinos could he
enlisted Immediately in the army for the
Philippines and that they would make
good soldiers under American officers.
There was no fear of q repetition of
Great Britain's experience with the
sepoys for the Filipinos, Mr.. Hull said
have no national feeling, like the natives
of India Moreover, added Mr.. Hull. the
experiment of enlisting native troops
has proven successful and there are no
more loyal or efficient soldiers than the
natives enlisted in the British army in
India.

sents 1.-THE Bowery After Dark" in a
South side theateT.
The work OF entertaining a Chicago
audience with pictures of the Bowery is
arduous. and recreation is almost a ne
cessity when the labors of the night are
finished.
little after-theater lunch is the
proper #caper under such circumstances
a consequence, when the performance
closed on Wednesday night a little sup
per party was arranged, and George
Siler's cafe on Dearborn street was
chosen for the place of meeting. The
party included Miss Queenie Tenny-
Mrs McGovern was also one of the in
vited guests,
Unfortunately, the latter lady decided
that her baby, who is i'll. required her
attention, and she didn't accept.
AT 4 o'clock this morning the party
was hilarious. Terry was singing
cake walk when Miss Queenie Tenny
started in to entertain the rest OF the
party with cake walk.
Like an appaIition enters Mrs Terry
McGoVer'n. She took a position at the
door. and, livid with rage, contemplated
the spectacle before her.
''Oh. what if my wife saw me now ?"
remarked McGoyern.
She wouldn't do a thing to me-
In the meantime Mrs. McGevern, who
had been worrying because of Terry $

CHOSE THE WIDOW.
Charles Meng, Though Threatened
and Caioled, Would Not Yield.

Wichita, Kas, Nov. 24-The fact that
Charles Meng was threatened with a
breach of promise suit did not deter him
from marrying Mrs. H. ]. Devaughan, in
Wichita last evening. Mrs. Devaughan
was a wealthy widow of Mount Hope,
this county, and Meng was her chief
gardener. Meng admits that about three
years ago he was engaged to marry Miss
Jessie Fisher. of lola, Allen county
When the latter learned that her former
fance was about to marry the Widow
Devaughan, she took the first train for
Mount Hope and pleaded with Mrs
Devaughan to refuse to marry Meng,
adding, it is alleged, that if she would
do so she (Miss Fisher) could easily
win him over
The two women decided to leave it to
the man in the case He chose the
widow. The three then boarded a train
for Wichita, the widow and Meng to
procure marriage license. and Miss
Fisher to consult an attorney. En- route
Miss Fisher again requested Meng to
marry her, and when he again refused
she created a, scene in the train and
threatened to bring proceedings against
him at once
When the widow and Meng arrived at
the court house the former became
somewhat alarmed and refused to be
married until County Attorney Anidon
assured her that Miss Fisher could not
involve her in any suit.

FAR FROM IT'S HOME.
Queer Sea Fowl Shot by q Hunter
Near Wichita.

Wichita. Kas, Nov. 24.-Yesterday a
fowl which has made a wonderful flight
was killed southwest of the city by
George Springer. The fowl is what is
known as a Great Northern Diver. 1t
IS sea bird and by what whim or turn
of circumstance it ever gained the most
inland Of all inland states is beyond the
conjecture of the biggest shotgun expert
in Wichita The bird can not stand or
walk it's only means of locomotion be-
ing by swimming. tt resembles in many
respects and in size a wild goose. It's
legs are on it's back and are as fat as
pancakes and even if they were located
correctly for walking would not bear the
weight of the bird. The legs. however,
are so constructed that they can paddle
close to the surface of the water. 1t is
said that this fowl is the deepest diver
among aquatic creatures. This is the
only one ever killed in this section.

<. o. Ar HARD PRACTICE.
Strengthening the Team For the
Thanksgiving Day Game.

Lawrence, Kas., Nov. 24.-When the
Kansas team went to Emporia Wednes-
day and left Tucker. Algie. ode and
Carter behind they were fully aware of
the unusual weakness of the team, but,
nevertheless, they at least expected to
score, and the effect of the game has
been to discourage the players consid-
erabfy. Twice they were within three
yards of the Nof1nal's goal, but failed
to go over, trying the same plays which
were successfully blocked by the Ne
braska team on their hve-yard line. The
Kansans seem to have no trouble in
working their way around the ends in
the center of the field. but fall down re-
peatedly ON line bucks near the goal
line
With Tucker playing half, this weak
ness win be greatly strengthened for
the Thanksgiving day game. and If
ode is in good shape then, as he ex-
poets to be, the team will be in much
better shape for line bucking.
The men will be kept hard at work
until the game with the Tigers. and sew
eral old men will probably be back to
lend the much needed assistance in
coaching.

NASHVILLE STUDENTS.
Advance Ran Stops in Topeka and
Explains Details.

Joseph Cox was in Topeka last even
ing in advance of the Nashville Stu
dents who hold the boards at the Grand
opera house two nights next week. Tues
day and Wednesday evenings The
original Nashville Students are in their
twenty first season and Mr.. Cox asserts
that their entertainment is bigger,
brighter and better than ever. The mu-
steal comedy Aunt Hannah's Recep-
ton Day. in two acts and musical
clio, constitute the entertainment.
Charles Brown and William Owens are
the leading fun makers The antics and
pastimes of the typical old-time south
ern negro, happy, ro1licking and care
free, are laughable and entertaining al
ways. The Nashville Students present
the characterizations in poverty and in
luxury, introducing songs, dances, a
cake walk, and a buck dancing contest
as a finale.

TAKE A CAB.
An Accommodation for Travellers that
Must be Tried to be Appreciated.

Must be Tried to be Appreciated.
The editor of the Davenport, Iowa,
Daily Democrat recently made an east
ern trip, and writes his paper as fol-
lows of the cab service of the Pennsyl-
vania System:
1T goes without saying that the Penn
sylvania railroad, in all its many divi-
siOns and branches, is one of the great
est systems of freight and passenger
transportation in the world. 1t Is par
ticularly popular with the travelling pub
lie because of the pains it takes to pro-
vide the conveniences many railroads
overlook For those not experienced in
the ways of the world, especially for
women who are 5ourneying long dis
tanceS alone, the Pennsylvania supplies
a service that meets a real want. and
at a cost so reasonable that all can
afford it. Reference is made to the cab
and carriage service. which is so per-
feet that nothing further is to be de-
sired.
.'On the arrival of trains in Philadel-
phia, Washington. New York, and other
cities there are always in waiting car
riageS and competent drivers. These
take the passenger TO connecting lines
and TO hotels at charge that is almost
nominal in comparison with the usual
uncertain way Of getting about-hack-
men who, too often, are irresponsible and
Enthusiastically. The same service is at
the travellers disposal for taking trains
and ferries One may as safely enter a
Pennsylvania cab as Pennsylvania
sleeping car.
This accommodation is no money
making one, but it meets a want long
felt in a way to be appreciated on the
first trial, and to be patronized there
after. The writer has tried II by night
as we'll as by day, and this unsolicited
commentator is not intended so much
for the benefit of the Pennsylvania com
pany as it is for the unfOrtunates who
have fallen into the hands OF unknown
and uncertain persons who too COM
monty charge unreasonably for what
they do. The perplexed traveller who
reaches a large city and doesn't know
what to do can make no mistake by
taking a Pennsylvania cab"

BERNsTEIN-YANoER HITCH.
Possibility of the Two Fighters Get
ting Together.

Chicago, Nov. 24.-Jack Dougherty is
trying to make a match for his man, Joe
Bernstein, with Benny Yanger, the I1p-
ton Slasher. Both the Tattersalls and
Star theater mana ements have offered
dates for the go. but there appears to be
one. Bernstein's manager says he is will
ing to post 81. 900 that his man can beat
Yanger at 122 pounds weigh in at j
O'Clock, and is willing to post an addi-
tional $500 on Yanger's own term He
announces that he will give the Slasher
until Saturday to cover his forfeit, which
is posted with H. Albini. The difference
between the two men is only one pound,
and there should be a concession one way
or the other. and interesting match
would result.
rangers manager says that he has not
$500 to bet on the side, but is willing to
post 81, 600 that Yanger wins the fight,
provided the weight is made 122 pounds
at o. clock. and the money IS posted with
any reputable Sporting editor in CHICAGO.
