which eXemplifies my original statement.
1t was In the last congress, when the
house was trying to fix a time for de-
batting the civil service law. Some gen.
tlcman had proposed that the time
should be divided equally between the
friends and opponents of the law. Colo
mel Pete Hepburn, Of Iowa, told the
house that he thought the time should
be divided into three Parts. One portion
should be given to the friends CT the
present law. There were others who
We're in favor of a partial repeal only;
they should be given portion OF the
time. Then Colonel Hepburn said the
other portion Of the time should be given
to the Democrats. who we're for total
repeal of tho law.
"'How do you know that?" I was rash
enough to ask him.
Because 1t Is wrong, and the Demo-
Gratis are always wrOEg,' he retorted.

McGOvern in Danger of Blood Poison
ing.

Terry McGovern, at Richmond last night,
is greatly alarmed over what he fears may
be blood poisoning. He has been a sufferer
from corns and had his feet worked upon
a day or so ago. Since then one of the
corns has become much irritated and the
young puglist was in such intense pain
when he arrived in Richmond, Va, that
he called in a physician and had the Of
Tending obstacle examined.
The doctor admitted that the foot showed
symptoms of blood poisoning.

CHAMPION GOLFER TALKS.
Harry VardOn Says Our Amateurs Are
Not Equal to Those Abroad.

Harry Vardon, the American open cham
pion and probably the greatest golfer who
ever handled a club, sailed from New York
for England yesterday.
Before leaving Vardon consented to ex-
press his views to New York Journal re-
porter on American golf and golfers for the
benefit of American players. His story fol-
lows:
1T would be hard matter for any one to
crticise the difference between American
and English ANA teur players at the present
time, the best players here are not to be
classed with the best English or Scotch
amateurs.
I'm two years from now, If your players
improve as fast as they have in the past.
there should be d different story to tell,
and it will be hard to choose between them.
who do you think is the best golfer in
American today? Why Findlay Douglas, If
he could only put. but during the past sea-
son Travis has undoubtedly shown the best
form and played the steadiest golf. | think
his weak point is lin his long game, though
he is undoubtedly very strong on the short
game and on the green His chief fault is
| that he does not take full swing.
Younger Players Starting Right.
! Travis and Douglas, will soon have to
give way to the younger generation Of play
ers like Watson, tr., Hollins, Byers, Robin
son. Hitchcock and others. They have
| started right and are playing their strokes
/ IN lne right way, ana with u year or so
| experience will be able to hold their own
| with any one.
| THE worst fault with youF golf courses
is that the bunkers are placed in the wrong
| position, so that good drives are penalZed
| and weak shots encouraged
| Atlantic City IS one of the few courses
| l have seen in America that is laid out
! properly. Apawamis, near Rye, NJ Y, is
another good one, as are Newport and Nor
| ris county.
The trouble with American courses is
/ that the bunkers are placed SO to punish
good drives and not to catch bad drives or
| a poor second. But for misplaced bunkers
| the courses are unusually good.
| THE Wheaton links near Chicago, where
| the open championships were played. Is a
good enough course in it's way but many
! Of the bunkers are placed in bad positions
and too many of the bunkers catch good
shots. On the other hand some of the
finest putting greens I have ever seen are
| to be found in America, and one of the
best l ever saw Is at Bar Harbor. and 1t
| is a treat to play On 1t.
Always Ready to Play Taylor.

The day started with a very

no backward steps but that
every department of the work
was in splendid condition. The
