'hhy Sayings From Our Popular Wash
ingtOn Correspondent.
The wheels of Congress are again
going around, but they do not jar the
country to any noticeable extent.
Kaiser William knew enough to
head off Dom Paul Kruger's move for
official German recognition.
Such acts as the looting of the
Pekin observatory by German and
French troops are not calculated to
impress the Chinese with the super
iority of the civilized nations.
Now that English is getting so pop
ular that it has displaced French as
an obligatory study in the higher Ger
man schools, we should think that
more of our authors would give it a
little serious attention.
''The gentleman from Hawaii" and |
''the gentleman from Porto Rico" as
the delegate to Congress from the is
lands will be address by the Speaker
of the next House, are in Washing
ton getting pointers.
Perhaps the detectives who escorted
the Duke of Manchester and his rich
American bride to the hotel at which
they stopped in New York were there
to see that the Duke didn't run away.
A Missouri court has decided that
a pardon issued by the governor can
not be recalled after it has been re-
corded with the Secretary of State.
Congress will be informed by the
National Convention of Architects,
shortly to meet in Washington, that
the proposed changes and additions
to the White House should not be
made under the plans which have been
prepared.
While the powers are squabbling
about what China shall be made to do,
China is buying arms and ammunition,
which may render the making process
a dangerous and difficult one.

Brooches

in gold or enamel are so pretty as to
deceive all but experts, and begin at
less than dollar: pins are in endless
variety and the introduction of gun
metal affords genteel chain for dol
lar. French gilt chains are shown and
white metal comes as a substitute for
silver. Imitation turquoises, which
are in great favor, both for brooches
and belt clasps, are placed at intervals
on chains with dressy result and
pearls as well are adroit manifesto
tions of nineteenth century skill.
Chains of such pearls come in long
strands and collars are equally attract
i've Belt clas 2s are extremely ovnate
and in large size and glittering in irri-
dissent colors are worn by exclusive
people. One would make a nice

Christmas Present

and in view of gift making time, these
and other small articles named, are a
good selection foripeople of moderate
means. Toilet articles are in glass
mounted in sterling silver and shown
by department stores at very reason
able figures. Little Salve boxes begin
at dollar and increase in price accord
ing to the size, until powder boxes are
reached; toilet bottles sometimes snow
in colored glass, and are purchased
singly or perhaps in pair, one white,
the other in colors, since regularity on
the bureau top is rather out of order.
In any case, an addition of choice per-
fumery gives finish and for such pur-
pose, we must not overlook that sweet
est and most popular of perfumes,
Murray and Lanman's Florida Water.
Indeed ladies could find no more ac-
ceptable gift for husband, brother or
beau; gentlemen so enjoy its use after
shaving. For

ANOTHER ENGLISH GOLFER
Coming to 'the States" to Gather
Yankee Dollars.

NEW YORK, Dec. &c = Alex, better
known as Sandy" Herd, has practical
ly decided to come to this country early
in the spring with the intention of taking
a New York links. Warden has often
said Herd was the man he feared the
most. and he is recognized master Of
instruction, a faculty often beyond the
movers of many fine players. Herd is
Scotchman, and for many years was a
professional at HuddersfteId, one of the
finest greens in Yorkshire, England He
has never won the open championship
but was third in 1928 at Prestwick, sec
ond at St Andrews TO ]. H. Taylor In
1855, being beaten by four strokes, and
fourth to -Vardon at Muirfield in 1885,
again four strokes behind the leader
Herd has been in the money at the
open championship and at professional
tournaments in the last ten years prob
ably more times than any other profess
sional. AS a match player he stands in
the first class, and he has beaten at
different times Vardon. Taylor, and
other noted PLAYERS in Great Britain.
His brother, Fred Herd, who won the
open championship Of America three
years ago, is professional at the Wash
ington Park club, Chicago.

FOOTBALL AT CORNELL.
Graduate Coaching to BE Adopted at

the Ithaca College.
ITHACA, N. Y. Dec 26.-The football
conference, held at the residence
OF Prof L. M. Dennis, the faculty foos-
ball adviser, lasted several hours. and
though it did not select d coach. it
settled every other point of controversy
1t was definitely decided to return to the
graduate system of coaching, and to
make this system permanent at all haz-
ards. Cornell has reached q stage where
IL Is necessary to have a system of its
own.
Cornell IS not dissatisfied with the work
of Haughton; on the contrary. Prof. Den
mis- highly complimented him. but he is
not Comedian, and must therefore be
ruled out.
1t was also decided the term s'head
coach should not in the future be ap.
pied to any graduate who returns to
assist in developing a team. For all
practical purposes the captain will De
the head coach, and his authority will
be increased. He will have supreme
authority on the field, and his word will
be final in selecting any man for the
team or in the development of plays
The question of a coach was left to a
committee of three, who will confer with
as many of the alumni as is practicable,
and then recommend man for the posi-
ton The undergraduates favor Warner
but it cannot be said the prospect that
he will be chosen is any brighter than
it was at the close of the season. War
ner would like to return in case arrange
ments could be made, as his brother is
now captain.

he mauled Connolly III severe fashion. At

Several years later Joe Goddard, the
Australian pugilst, challenged Jim Cor
bett, the acknowledged heavyweight
champion. to fight for the title. Corbett
refused to meet the antipodean, and
Goddard claimed the title by default.
Goddard then fought Denver Ed Smith
at New Orleans, and was knocked out
in eighteen rounds. The irrepressible
Connolly was, of course on hand and an
nounced that as he had a decision over
Smith to his credit he was the true and
undisputed heavyweight champion.
Connolly antedates fighters who are not
proclaimed as champions, and he was
game to the core" His only bette noir
in this city was Paddy Norton, against
whom Jimmy had the most venomous
grGdge. Paddy was a fighter at one
time. old timers say, a little bit better
than Jimmy, but the latter would not
acknowledge it. But the hit of his life
was made by Jimmy when he entered
the ranks of the book agents. A print
ing concern once published q book called
1.-The GIadiaters OF the Prize Ring, and
Jimmy applied for a chance to canvass
for this. He made a success of it, for
he sold more books than anX of his pro-
fessional solicitors of the company could
dispose of.
The "hustling" qualities of Connolly
were not the least of his accomplish
ments He has a peculiar l1nack in spell

could not spell, and as for poetry, as
Jimmy himself said, "Oi cud make Geno
