Esuator DryIa Dsinw Well.

ST. PAUL, Nov G.-Dr. A. J. Stone, the physician in charge of United States Senator Davis, states that the slight op- erltion on the senator's foot yesterday afternoon showed it to be in much bet ter condition than either he or Dr. Mur- phy had expected to find it and that only the simplest kind of an operation had been necessary in order to clear a pas sage for the pus that had collected under the foot. The former operation had been over the top of the foot, and this was un- der the foot in the same manner as the first. The senator had revived from the slight operation in good shape. He in sisted there had been no question of am putation and that Senator Davis was get ting along very well ip every way.

cRIT1CIzEs LORD DURHAM.

London. Nov 6.-James LoWtnef writes to the Times this morning with reference to the agitation started py Lord Durham's attack on Amerlcan jockeys and trainers. He says no ue- tailed report of the Jockey clup olS- cnssion on this subject has yet been published, and he reminds Lord Dur ham that it was only last April when he terminated a second period Of ohce as steward of the Jockey club, polnl- ing out that all the jockeys to whom objections have been raised recelVed their licenses from Lord Durham's own hands.
 MT Lowther then proceeds to recall various turf scandals during Lord Dur hams period of office. with view, as he says, of showing that, with all his energy and zeal, Lord Durham was nc more fortunate than others in attain ing purity on the turf, and that this was due to the difficulty of getting reli- able evidence. He rather reproaches Lord Durham for attempting to shift the blame to his successors and fp- throwing unmerited condemnation broadcast.
 Ut is not the duty of the stewards

of the Jockey club,' contends MT Lowther ito play the part of detec- tives or public prosecutors. Their functions are purely judicial There is no doubt of the existence of abuses, but suggest that the remedy lies with the owners and handicappers.
 The latter ought to penalize horses whose running arouses suspicion. Moreover, greater precautions should be exercised in excluding undesirables from the turf, and in this matter the Jockey club should banish timidity'
 John Porter, q trainer, also writes to the Times, applauding Lord Dur ham, but admitting that the American Invasion is beneficial, because it com- pels English jockeys to make Teal races.' He confesses that the Amerl- can style of riding is better than the English, and declares that the English jockeys are continually dwindling In numbers because the owners all want jockeys who are at the top of the pro- fessi0n. In his judgment it is this fea- ture of the case which has given an opportunity for an American invasion. He suggests a reduction in the mini mum weight in~Handicaps from S4 to G3 pounds.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Mrs. Augusta Hubbell of 116 Kingston avenue, Brook lyn, died yesterday after an illness of several weeks duration without medical care, although q Christian Scientist was in constant attendance upon her. She was the wife of F. Eubbsll, a manufac- turer and man of considerable means.

 Dr. Street reported Mrs. Hubbell's death as without medical attendance" :" q death certificate was refused, and the coroner will investigate the case.

CHOYNSKrS FUNNY STORY.

Joseph Choynski, who in point of service is an old man of the twenty four foot square, grows reminiscent as age creeps upon him. His latest story is one to the effect that he saved F1tz- simmons from complete Knockout at the hands of Maher when those two men met for the first time in New Orleans. It will be remembered that Maher put F'itzsimmons down and practically out in the first round, but the Australian recovered and thereaf- ter gave the Irish champion q terrific beating. The punishment was so se- were Maher refused to answer the bell for the thirteenth round. According to the story, as related by Choynski, there were still thirty seconds of the first round to be fought when Maher hit Fitz. A local man named Franks was official timekeeper of the club, while George Clark of Chicago and Frank Moran held the watches for the fighters Franks had his hand on the bell rope just as Fitz was knocked out. Choynski took in the situation at a glance, and striking Franks on the arm rang the bell, then jumped through the ropes and carried Fitz back to his chair limp as a rag. There was no word of protest from either cOEuGf Ot lIOul HIS tlueheGp- er Only the FitzSimmons followers knew what they were doing. It shows how unfortunate Maher was in having dead ones'' handle him for q great big light like this one certainly WAS. And it again emphasized the fact that F'itZsimmons was pretty lucky fel- low in having a man like Choynski in his corner. It saved him from defeat | and S1O,OOO After the first round Fitz was more careful, and Maher
 never again had chance in the fight. | The Australian used his left hand ex- | cluslvely. and jabbed the Irishman from that time on until the end of the | fight, when his seconds threw up the | sponge.
 Choynski adds that Fitzsimmons

 his quick witted second 8 fat thank | yOu.'

snSskfRk Canning Accident.

TRENTON, Nov. 6.-The Rev. Ste phen Reed, young Baptist minister, was accidentally killed yesterday after noon by being shot by John Bahrenberg with whom he was guoning. The acci- dent happened near Lawrenceville, which is the home of the minister's father. The two men were close friends and were re turning from their gunnins trip, when the gun in Bahrenberg's hands went of, shooting the minister in the stomach and instantly killing hip. Bahrenbers was frantic with grief and is hardly able to explain how the accident happened. Coro- her Mutt visited the scene and has. not yet decided whether to hold an inquest. The minister was but recently ordained and at the time of his death was taking a post graduate at the Wsstchestsr semina- ry. He was married some months ago to Miss Mary Studder, Trenton young lady.

Kid Mccoy Is Not In Earnest w heh
 He Says He Has Retlred-othei --Notes Heard at the Ringside.

pgNotes Heard at tne nlhssiu0
 From his temporary home in "good rolffa Lunnon'' Kid Mccoy reissues the 9off.fepeated WheeZe in reference 10 HIS finIl retirement from the ring. IS nor this farewell performance business oI the actor-pugilists of to-day 9 httle oyerdone, to say the least: Every one who knows Mccoy is perfectly Weli aware that, while he may leave the ring for a short space of time, he VIII crawl under the ropes again whenever a chance of making money presents itself to his view. But Mccoy Is, arter all. not the only member of his trlpe who has fallen a victim to the retiring and re-enterlng habit. There are many others who fail to keep their word ln that respect, so much so, indeed, that about the only time that one can reel assured that boxer will never agaln figure in a ring contest is when the b2ttle=scarred hero is planted hrnly under the green sod. The admirers or Mccoy, If he has any left in this coun- try, may, therefore, rest assured that at some future date they will again see the Suave Hoosier gliding gracefully around the padded floor of an Ameri- can ring That is, provided the inhab- itants of South Africa, for whose shores he is said to be bound. do not take such a fancy to his kidlets as to induce him to reside permanently in their midst, which would not be looked upon as q misfortune by American sportsmen, when several of the shady transactions in which MT Norman Sel- by has been engaged are taken into account.

A Neither Hubbard Parade,

WHEELING, Nov. G. Wheeling's Mother Hubbard" parade the evening before presidential elections, when the members of the marching clubs of al
 parties come together and join in a great demonstration in honor of the woman's suffrage candidate for president, is unique and original with this city. Last nights affair in honor of Mrs. Cstt was the largest on record, fully 2,000 march CTS being in line. The real woman's sui fragists, however, have on this occasion entered an emphatic protest against the demonstration, but the opposition seem ed to add to the fervor with which the public looked at it. Over S0,00o people lined the streets and laughed at the queer and ridiculous costumes the march CTS wore. ---- ---.- d,

A CHALLENGE.

AS manager of the Merrimac Athlet-
 ic association, l, the undersigned here
 py challenge the St Thomas Cadets
 loot pall eleven to game at any flu
 lufe d2te, at any place, under any
 Ia1r and equal conditions. Both teams
 nave played two games, each winning
 one. The Merrimacs won the first by score of 5 to O, the Cadets the sec and by 6 to o.
 My eleven is the best in the city and
 there Is plenty of. money to say so. If
 the Cadets have a better eleven if they
 are able to sweep the field with their
 eleven, here is an excellent opportu.
 nity to gain money and renown l
 do not wish to take away any part of the glory gained by the Cadets by ty and honesty I make the prophecy
 that if another game was to be played between the two eleyens tomorrow the score would be the reverse. When we won the first game we gladly gave Q return game. Let the Cadets now act accordingly, and that is all we de | mand, fair play. If a third game is not arranged it will not be my fault and ask the public to judge which team holds the championship of the city, my eleven, which stands ready 1 to meet all corners. or the Cadets, who after defeating and being defeated by | the Merrimacs, refuses to play de cidinR game. If the manager of the Cadets wish es to arrange another game he may ac cept this challenge through the medi um of the Democrat. stating a place for meeting to arrange for game Thanking you for your valuable space, I remain,

New York, Nov 6.-For two hours yesterday at Columbia signal and formation drill was held, but there was neither lineup nor scrimmage. Cap tain Morley attempted long distance drop kicks for some time and Bruce kicked goals to perfect his aim in case his services should be necessary. Cap tain Morley smiled suspiciously when he said that he did not expect Colum- bia to win, and the students are all offering to bet on a, low Princeton score. Last week odds of to were copiously offered on Princeton, but since Cornelrs victory the Princeton money at the Murray Hill hotel can only be obtained on even terms. Odds of to l that the Tigers would not score more than twelve points pre- vailed on the campus yesterday.
