BENEFITS OF GOLF.
An Invigorating Outdoor Sport That
Tends 60 Stimulate the Nerv-
Gus System.

One Of the prominent women golf
players Of the city says that the game
has proved very beneficial in producing
steaoiness of nerve among women.
The nature of the game and the exhil-
arating outdoor atmosphere invigorate
and stimulate the nerves and fit women
for greater effort and better self-con-
troll, says the New York World.
One of the most exaSperating fea-
lures, however, in connection with the
game, from feminine point of view.
is the injunction of silence. Yet il is
this very point that trains in self-con-
troll, for the player soon learns that
silence is golden when her attention is
engaged with the bail, and that if she
is 10 score well she must think and act
rather than chatter.
The golf school is probably the best
school in which the boycotti1g of CO.
quetry is taught. Furthermore, while
the fever of golf is relentless when il
takes hold of a woman. and under its
fascinating influence she forgets her
worst domestic tragedies, her best
friends and has no time for Browning
readings or musicales, the conse-
quences in this direction are offset by
beneficial effect upon temperament, for
it serves TO solidify her ambition,
straighten her judgment, calm her i'm
pulses and control her temper.

FEARS TO YIELD.
Aguinaldo Dares Not Take Advantage
of Amnesty Ofer Because OF n
Guerrilla order.

Washington, Aug 14.-Copies of Ma
Mia papers received at the war de-
partment contain letter purporting
to be from a personal friend of Agui.
naldo which states that the Filipino
chief does not take advantage of the
amnesty proclamation because some
time ago he gave orders to his follow
ers TO break up in guerrilla bands.
The amnesty orders excerpts those
who violated the laws of war and it
states that Aguinaldo fears that he
would be in the excepted class should
he undertake 10 surrender under the
amnesty proclamation. The latter is
dated at BiacNo-Bato which is said
10 be the present provisional head
quarters of Aguinaldo. 1t states,
however, that Aguinaldo never stays
more than one night in place and
only a few hours in any one location.
He allows no one 10 come near him,
except his most intimate personal
friends.

THE DESERTED HENS.
Odd Name and Organization of q
woman's Club I'm Brook
Ign, N. Y.

Flatbush, whose beautiful homes
constitute a becoming frill TO the out
skirts of Brooklyn, has a woman's club
that does not belong TO the fedora
ton, has no rules, no bylaws, no par
liamentary formalities, no initiation
fee, no dues-nothing, In fact, that
characterizes other clubs 10 which
women having leisure and lovely
homes belong, says Harper's Bazaar.
The Deserted Hens is the somewhat
ignominious title used TO designate
the organization. The club in its in
ception was simply an expedient to
meet the eMgencies of loneliness,
when on Saturday nights the male
heads of half dozen families deserted
the hearthstones 20 have an evening
together with cards at the club, re-
turning at the wee, small hours.
'We women sat at home alone SAT-
urday evenings half the winter" one
Of the Deserted Hens explained, when
a happy thought came TO one of us.
We would meet, have cards and sup
per ourselves. The first meeting was
held at my home. The ladies ordered
a carriage 10 come for them at one
o'clock. The men were not TO be in
formed of our plans, but l mentioned
TO my husband incidentally that ex-
pected few ladies for cards that spe-
cial evening. Quite TO my surprise he
came home just as we were having
supper. He grasped the situation at
once, and thought he had rare joke
on the men he had left behind him at
the club. Every Saturday evening
since then those men have come trail
ing in at II o'clock"
So the Deserted Hens, as they saw
ct to call themselves before they took
matters into their own hands, are no
longer so deserted as they were. But
the odious name still clings.

CANDIDATES NOTIFIED.

claring that under existing circum-
stan I'VE dare not educate the Filipinos

PRESIDENT CHANGES PLANS.
II Going to Washington Wednesday
Instead of Thursday-WiH At
tend G.. A. X. at Chicago.

Canton, o.. Aug. 1.-THE plans OF
President Mckinley were changed
Tuesday morning in regard TO the trip
TO Washington, and the party will leave
Wednesday instead of Thursday noon.
They will travel in a special car at
tached TO the regular train leaving
Canton at 1875. The change is not
prompted by any special turn of af-
fairs nor by any special business re-
curing the presidents presence in
Washington, but simply by a desire to
be in the capital for the consideration
of some business that can be more con-
veniently disposed of there than here
in advance of the functions on Satur-
day and Sunday. The party will leave
Chicago on Wednesday evening, Au-
gust 20, according to present plans and
reach Canton the following day. Ar
engagements have not been completed
for the trip from Washington TO Chi
cago for the G. A. Il. encampment, but
it will probably be made on a regular
over a direct route. There are numer-
Gus invitations for stop-overs on this
trip, but none has been accepted. Par
ticularly urgent are the invitations
from Upper Sandusky for the corner
stone laying of the new courthouse
and for the Winona assembly in In
diana. The route and schedule will be
mapped out after reaching Washing

Growth of Mig Cities

Asoriginally laid out by William Penn
Philadelphia was two miles long and
one mile wide. Township after town
ship was annexed, till at last the city
boundaries conceded with those of a
county 22 miles long. Boston overran
the old county lines and took in five
outlying towns. Greater New York
and Chicago now exceed in area and
population some European principali-
ties. In each case consolidation has
been accomplished by the joint action
of city and suburbs, with legislative au-
thorization. But the problems of city
government grow in complexity as the
cities grow in size.

ing.

Answers says: VERY few soldiers
who have seen much service escape
what is called battle heart. The ordi-
nary state Of the heart in healthy peo-
pie is one Of irritability, but in the SOL
der Of five or six years service the irri-
liability is so great that il constantly
affects his temper.
The British soldier" we are further

Journal, wears such tight clothing
that his heart has not room 10 beat

The soldiers trousers are tight at the
waist. His coat is buttoned as tightly
as possible, and very often he squeezes
himself with belt. Then when on the
march his chest is compressed by the
weight Of his knapsack. canteen, great
coat and heavy cartridge belt.
IF you watch a company of soldiers
when they are doing a long march you
will observe that most of them have
flushed faces. red ears, red noses. swol-
len necks-showing that the heart is
greatly overtaxed. Some, on the other
hand, are pale, which proves that their
hearts are not equal TO the work
thrown on them. When. after a very
long march, the men have 10 deploy

hill, very large number break down
altogether. Their overstrained heart
