 WAIT FOR THE DISROBING.
Strange Fact Revealed That Codhsls < Beast on Lobsters When the Latter Shed Their Shells.

It, is probably news to the majority of people. to know that the red or rock codfish is | bitter enemy of the lobster nat has just crawled out of LisS sheR and is soft and unable to protect himself, says the Lewiston (Ne.) Journal During shedding time these slobsters crawl up under project ing rocks where the seaweed and kelp are thick and where they find pro- tected places in which to go through the process of slipping out of their old shells and taking on new coat of mail, so to speak. For some days after shedding the Holsters are weak and unable to cope with those fish that wage war upon them. This fact the codfish seem intuitively to know, and they will swarm around these re- treats in great numbers and wait for the shedders to crawl out.
 An old lobster fisherman said the other morning that many times he had stopped his dory over a large number of these red codfish and watched their operations. He had even dropped his line down and dan gled tempting bait within a few fee, of them. Unless it happened to fall directly in front of their noses, how, ever, they would seldom take it, as they were after lobster meat. Wher the thin-shelled Holsters would craw
 out from beneath the protecting sea weed the codfsh would dart at then and strike them fierce blows witE their tails, disabling them completely l They would then fall to and devoul the helpless crustaceans. This per | formance the lobster fisherman saic he had witnessed many times. The shedding season is now practically over, and the shells of the Holsters art becoming firm and hard and they ar, fully able to take care of themselves

OSCAR GARDNER,S uANDS

Oscar Gardner, who is to meet Martin Flaherty in a twenty-round bout before the Crescent A. c. of Hart ford, Tuesday, electlon night, yester- day sent the following wire to the club matchmaker:
 Chicago. Nov 1, 1900.
 Kindly deny rumor that my hands are i'll bad shape. They never were in better condition. Will arrive in Hart ford some time Sunday.
 OSCAR GARDNER. It is understood that Gardner is to wear Abandages, as is his usual custom The only time he took them off in a contest was when he last met Flaherty in Hartford. The Lowell man object ed to the bandages on Gardners hands after the men were in the ring, and rather than argue the point Gardner consented to remove them. This time the understanding is that either man may wear light bandages on his hands if he so desires. Interest in the Nah -Matthewson bout is increasing and reports from both men are to the eff feet that they are in good form.

THE CHECKER CHAMPIONSHIP

Boston, Nov 2.-Charles F. Baker, the American checker champion, caught his opponent, Richard Jordan of Scotland, mapping in last nights game ill the. championship tourna- ment, and won his second game of the match, so that both players have now beaten each other. twice in the thirty-four games played. Baker, had the opening in the afternoon game and played the Denny move of '10-14. Jor- day replied with 22-17 After a few moves the game developed into a Paisley. The familiar lines of play were followed. the moves being similar to those in the first game and draw resulted. Barker's reply to Jordans opening of 10-14 in the evening con test was 23-19. one of the American s weakest moves, but apparently made for q purpose. Jordan moved 14-1S and tried to throw the game into a Felso, but Barker was prepared for this and blocked it. Then Barker car ried his opponent along to a weak for nation of the old II. Jordan became frightened and moved Is instead of 2-6 and got badly tangled up. After three hours and five minutes of play Jordan finally resigned. The Anferi- can is said to have had the game cooked before play began.

FiIip,ao ingenuity Tn war.

In recent fight in the north the men of the Fortieth infantry ran into trap that proved Ia veritable Gatling gun of savagery. The insurgents had placed lot of bamboo over 0 trench and arranged great number of bows and arrows so that the arrows were in place, the cord pulled back and the entire machine so aimed as to strike the center of a mans body,a By an in- genious contrivanee the stepping on the bamboo set off the bows, and a shower of arrows met the advancing column. Eight men were killed and several wounded. There is absolutely no limit to the nsm Der of arrows that may be. shot at the same time by this contrivance., With a sufficient mum Der of bows: rthes internal machine might be made .exceeding y,9effeetiye against large Chicago Reel ords fr~ ses s7s >s.ss.

EXTRA CHARGE FOR BREAD.
One of the Customs of English Inns That Do Not Please
 Americana.

"One of the strangest h;ngs about the management of English restau- rants," remarked gentleman who has recently returned from visit to London, says a Washington Star writer, lis the custom of charging diners for every slice of bread which they eat. For instance, a day or two before my departure from the British capital I, as mark of esteem, invited several English friends to dine with me at one of the most celebrated of the fashionable West end restaurants. We'll, the repast was served in a pri- vate room, and everything went off splendidly until the coffee and cigar stage was reached, and l asked that my bill be brought to nae. There, to my utter astoniShment, the head waiter, in the hearing of the assem- bled company, approached me, and in a loud voice asked: And how many breads ave you 'ad, sir?'
 This question l could not answer, as had not been engaged in counting g the number of slices consumed, but one of my guests, who had evidently kept track of the bread, noticing my embarrassment, said in my behalf: -Four plates.'
 "'Ah!' muttered the waiter, that's one shillin' h'extra,' and, after adding the amount of my bill, he handed it to me for inspection,
 ''Of course, paid for the bread, but I have been wondering ever since I did so why the American custom of not charging for the staff of life is not introduced over there''

Then it will be decided who has the. better eleven. Both elevens and thelr supporters have boasted much during the past week of their ability to ad- minister severe defeat to the other. Tomorrow will decide the Veracity or fallacy of their boasts. Much betting has been done on the game, the odds being even. If the day is pleasant one of the largest crowds that ever wit messed a football game in this city will be present. as everybody knows or at least thinks that the game will be very exciting. Both teams have been practicing hard the past week and both are in the most excellent condition and confident of victory. The riv- airy is intense. The St Thomas eleven will be made dp from the fol- lowing players: C. Stein. Hyland, Buckley. A. Stein. E. Dunphy, P. Riley. Phil Kelley, Cronan, Collins, keating Bagley. McAllcney.

With the rising of the sun to-day football enthusiasts will begin to feel the pulSdtiouS of the excitement in the air over thrilling contests that must. be fought out before the sun $ going down. Ilaryard'S crimson ban her will be hoiSted on Soldiers field to wave defiance to the red and black of Pennsylvania. IaIe's Drawny sons will put shoulder to shoulder in tAe struggle against the West Point sol dier boys, while Princeton has some thing more than victory to win over Cornell, for she has the defeat of one year ago to wipe out. Yale reached New York last night and will go to West Point this morning, Cornell is resting in Trenton, the QuaEers are in -AuDurndale. while Harvard, Princeton and the soldiers are camping on their own grounds, where they hope to crown themselves with laurelS before the day is done. There are other games and many of them, scheduled for to- day, but these three surpaSS in in- tense interest and importance any other that will be played. Columbia has no battle to fight to-day, but on Tuesday she will take Cornells place against the mighty Tigers. The game i'll Cambridge, however, will attract the greatest attention, if for no other reason than that two of the Big Four will be the contenderS. They are even, ly matched to man, so far as indi, cations up to the present time go | Pennsylvania is strong and aggreS | sive and Harvard is strong and willy The Crimson generally does better iI an actual contest than in practice, anG | the eleven is under the direction o1 the greatest football captain and guar | terback of the decade.

He iI swift and sure. and he can fight witt his men to the last ditch. The Quak

 of the QuakerS' ways. McCracken vii
 play with Pennsylvania to-day, and i
 is d settled fact that he will give
 good account of himself. Harvar(
 will abide by Pennsylvania's decision
 and Pennsylvania decided long az,
 that without McCracken there woult
 be no game.

A True Gentleman.

Familiarity with the prevailing standards of etiquette gives young man distinct advantage, and he who is sure that he knows is at ease and conforms automatically to social re- quirement. None can be perfect in de- pertinent who has to stop to consider how things ought to be done. If man be gentleman at heart the outward polish is easily acquired-between man ners and morals the tie is intimate. A true gentleman is simple, unpratend- ing, natural. He is courteous and con .siderate, and has the personal dignity that comes of self-respect.n not self con 5ciousness. He treats every woman as a lady, speaks well of others end recog- ni1es hospiiality as . nut ual obliga- stion. Ladies Home Journal. '.-,-'-1 s-.

gun today in Criminal Court, No. 1. The

sided at the hearing, ordered ten extra

CHAPTER XIV.

Sir Leonard and his wife enjoyed
the wedding-trip exceedingly. No
one knew whether Ethel enjoyed it or
not; she was quiet, listless, almost in
different. But her father, who knew
how dearly she loved all art, how
greatly she admired everything that
was rare and beautiful, thought she
must be pleased. He did not know of
the dark, terrible curtain that shaded
from her everything fair and bright.
They fingered through the winter
months in Italy, and then, when the
spring came round, they made prep
arations for returning to England.
Lady Gordon expressed a wish to
spend a few days in Paris, and Sir
Leonard engaged suite of rooms at
the Hotel Bristol.
They were at breakfast there one
morning, when a large packet of letters
arrived from England. Lady Gordon
sat smiling at her husband, who was
making himself uncomfortable by
wondering why French cooks never
made good tea. Ethel was absently
looking over the columns of a daily
paper when the letters were brought
in, and Sir Leonard in haste took
them from the walters hand.
More compliments and congratula-
TONS" he said Why, Helen, we
have been married some months now,
nevertheless our friends are not tired
of wishing us joy even yet"
AS he spoke he gave Lady Gordon
several letters addressed to herself
You seem to have no correspond
ents, Ethel" he remarked; mo letters
ever come for you"
Il never write any " she explained
That seems strange. Have you no
lady friend whom you care for?'
THE only two friends whom | love
are here" she replied.
Sir Leonard continued:
You are so different from other
girls, Ethel; [ should be better
pleased, my dear. to know that you
had girlish friends, and cared for
them, than to see you Indifferent to
everything and every one alike
Then Sir Leonard opened his let
ters; Lady Gordon was already deep
ly engrOssed in hers. TIE baronet
read two or three and laid them down.
There was a large ore with a govern
ment seal. and Sir Leonard's face
flushed with pleasure as he read it.
THAT is very gratifying" he said:
the result of my mission to Vienna
has been so excellent that l am Of
fered an excellent government ap-
pointment; it will oblige me to re-
main in London during the parlia-
mentary season, though
To be continued.
