Two Great Golfers.

It's odd that so many strange and er-
roneous reports and impressions should
be spread broadcast concerning the
worlds two greatest golfers at the
present time. Champion J. II. Taylor
and former Champion Harry Nardon.
Prior to the time Nardon made his first
trip TO this country the papers were
full of all kinds of reports concerning
the characteristics of the Jerseyman.
Some Of the descriptions Of Nardon
were of course fairly accurate, but
these were the exceptions. For in
stance, one golfng critic claimed that
Vardon was steady, but not nearly 50
brilliant as a good many of the other
foreign pros" 1t takes a little more
than mere steadiness to 90 round IS
holes under 20, make . hole circuits in
50 and 800 yard holes in 4.
Then there is Taylor. For years the
American golfers have been reading
about his wonderful mashie approach
es. According to some reports, Tay-
lor's long game was anything but
lengthy and that it was only his Won
derful work around the green that ena-
bled him to gain his present high posi-
ton. At Deal Beach links when the
foreigner began lining the guilty out
for distances ranging all the way from
$50 to 300 yards there was a general
expression Of establishment on all sides.
After watching the Richmond profess
sional play one cannot help becoming
impressed with his long game. His
brassey shots are as long as his drives
and his full cleek shots marvels of dis
lance and accuracy. frequently laying
the ball on the green a few feet from
the hole, playing from a distance Of $50
yards OF course he is a past master
when it comes TO short approaches, but
this would be Of little use unless com
bined with a good long game.

LonN A. NELSON.

an amateur Nelson first began lowering
records, and he holds today the anna
teur records from to 20 miles against
time and the competition records from
20 miles to 63, including the two hour
record and the 100 kilomcter record
and one hour competition mark. In the
professional ranks ne holds the compe-
tltlon records from 3 to 81 miles, with
the exception of the 60 and 60 mile
marks. He has twice lowered the world
records In races from to - miles.
In his pace following Nelson brought
forth new manner of following pace,
placing HIS head directly at the back OF
the rear pacemaker and riding with
his head well over and face down In
the shade of the body Of the rear man.
Others changed their style rapidly, hut
found it almost impossible TO cOny the
exact style of Nelson without confus-
ing themselves. Nelson has never been
shaken in race, a record in itself.

apparently, looking for the hackers.
Like everything else in this town,
s'politics" is said to be mixed up In IL,
and it is certain for one thing that the
police have known from the first that
Miller was In Montreal and could have
arrested him at any time tx they had
wished to do so. The detective VINO
arrested Miller was seen in brooklyn
on the day prior to his arrest, and 1t IS
not even certain that Miller did not
return to the city of his own accord

excitement smong his dupes somewhat

After the last election, Superintend-

that the charges were fully justified.

closes a shameful state OF affairs, by
which United States officials have
been bribed to connive at naturaliza-
ton frauds of the most extensive char
acter. Not Only we're many of the sp-
plicauts unable to comply with the
qualifications for citizenship demanded
by the law, but the fact that ten men
acted as witnesses for 800 foreigners
seeking naturalization sufficiently in
dicates the fraudulent nature of the
applications.
After the last census New York
made loud complaints that her popul-
alton had been underestimate, and
the director of the new census seems
to be determined that these complaints
shall not be repeated. Mr.. Merriam
called upon the mayor this week to
ask his cooperation in taking the CEN
sus. This assistance was promised.
In regard to the difficulties of enumer-
ating the population of New York,
tue di rector said: THE most difficult
problem in New York has been to
devise some scheme by which tenn
porary ebsentees from the city may be
counted. To ensure thoroughness we
have adopted what Is known as the
street book plan. Maps have been
made showing every house and every
street in the city, and enumerators
will have to account for every house
on every street by building and num-
ber.' By this plan Mr.. Merriam may |

New YORK, Feb. 12.-After trial

and more important subjects will have
a chance to be considered. l learned
the jury's verdict Saturday night from
a reporter who WAS rushing around

ing for Abe" Hummel, about the
most prominent criminal lawyer in
New York, to secure his opinion on the
verdict. Mr.. Hummel when found
said: cit is my opinion that the YER

taken to the court of appeals and the
evidence admitted concerning the
Barnet case will serve to
justify that court in order
ing reversal of the verdict
and new trial. L predict reversal
eral opinion among criminal lawyers;
at all events, new trials are ordered
upon such a variety of grounds in this
state that il is quite certain that Moli-
neux will have another chance for his
life. In the course of stubbornly
contested legal battle lasting three
months the presiding justice is sure to
make rulings that will be question ed
by the appellate court, and on the
strength of these rulings a new trial
may be procured. 1t will always be
matter of dispute whether or not
Molineux's lawyer strengthened or
weakened his case by failing to call
aay witnesses; if this course was mere
ly q bluff il was of such dimensions
that it almost deserved TO succeed.

CAPT. SHIELDS, FIGHT.
The Stand Made BY the Men Of the Twenty
Ninth Infantry Against an OvsrWhelm-
ing Force . Brilliant Episode.

Washington, Nov. 24.-Mail advicea
from Manila give in considerable de-
tail the story of the rescue of Capt.
Shields and so men of the Twenty
ninth infantry after their capture by
the insurgents in Martinique. The
fight that Capt. Shields and his party
put up against an overwhelming force
is declared to have been one of the
most brilliant incidents in the history
of bush fighting in the archipelago.
The SO men in question were pursuing
party of insurgents of superior force
into the mountains when they were
ambushed in box canyon by force
of $50 rif1emen and 1900 bolomen.
They made continuous fight for
eight hours, killing large number of
insurgents, and were overpowered only
after they had fired their last shot
and practically were smothered in a
hand-to-hand fight with their 1000
adversaries. Sergts. Williams and Nc
earthly, who were in charge of some
Of the wounded, come in for particu-
lar praise. They were cut off from the
rest of the party during the retreat
and intrenched themselves on the
hillside where they stood off their as
sailants for about three hours, sur
rendering after every cartridge had
been exhausted. Scarcely man in
the expedition escaped being grazed
or slightly wounded during the fight.
The total list of killed amounted to
only five. Capt. Shields was wounded
early in the fight, but continued to
direct the operations of the rear guard
during four miles of retreat. He
finally was knocked out by a bullet
through the jaw, neck and shoulder,
which was thought at the time to be
a fatal wound. The rescue of the
party was effected by Gen. Hare, who
some months before, when only a col
onel, led the party which effected the
rescue of Lieut.. Gilmore and the men
from the Yorktown, after their long
months of captivity in northern Luz
zon. Capt. Shields and his men say
that they have no complaint to make
of their treatment during captivity.

HELPED THE CHEF.
How . Loyal Engineer Did HIS Broth.
er Great Service.

Meadville, Pa, Nov. &c. 1900.-(Spe-
cial.)-The Loyalty of the Members of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-.
gineers is proverbial. A circumstance
occurred in this city some days ago,
which emphasizes this feeling.
Frank J. Zeller is Chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
No. lab. He is extremely popular
among his fellow railway men. and
one of the best known Engineers rum
ming out Of Meadville. When the an
nouncement was. made a short time
ago that Frank was pretty sick, it
caused a great deal of regret among
the boys. Soon he was missed from
his engine, having had to "lay off,
on account Of his back. A brother Of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, who had been i'll with similar
symptoms, some time before, and who
had been pulled through, called to see
Mr.. Zeller, and in. "a brotherly way,
took with him a box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, the Remedy which had cured
him. He advised Mr.. Zeller to try
them, with the result that after seven
boxes had been used, he was entirely
well, and able to work.
In an interview Mr.. Zeller states:
81 had suffered for four years with
this ahliction, being often kept awake
at night with pains, and at times un-
able to work. tried several Of the
advertised remedies, and found that
they did me no earthly good. Finally,
q member of our Order, who had been
cured of Kidney Disease by Dodd's
Kidney Pills brought me a box, and
asked me to try them. I had little
faith in them, but rs q drowning man
grasps at q straw to help him, 30 I
took the Pills. I used seven boxes,
and am to-day ~ well and strong .
man as there il in Pennsylvania"
Naturally, Mr.. Zeller feels very
grateful, and his complete recovery
has delighted his many friends, and
none more than the good Brother,
who feels that he was instrumental
in saving the life of the Chief.
Dodd's Kidney Pills never fail to
cure Kidney Trouble.
