CARE OF WOUNDED SAILORS
Their Position in Naval Battles Is . Matter of Grave Com
 sfderatiOn.

The British Medical association was sitting at Cheltenham recently, and one day some very interesting facts were brought forward as to the po- sition of the wounded in naval bat ties. Owing to the alterations in the structure of the ships, the old arrangements under which the wounded were at once carried down to the cockpit cannot be continued, and, on the opinion of Fleet Surgeon C. Kirker, the most humane course, now adopted both by the French and Japanese. is te leave the wound ed sailors lie where they are until the action is over and men can be spared to carry them down in ambu- lances, which it will take some me- chanical skill to devise.
 X light sleigh on runners of his own device is now being tested pre- yious to approval. The wounded are as safe on deck for a short time as elsewhere, and modern wounds do not cause dangerous loss of blood. It is essential, however, says the London Spectator, that each ship should have an operating room. which at present is not included in the ac- cepted designs. It appears that the general health of sailors in warships is good, iron being much better than wood for sanitation, but some inn provements are greatly required, and should be attended to by the admir- atty at once.

SMALL GIRL AvERTs WRECK.
Rune Down the Track and with Jacket Warns Engineer of
 Horse on the Track.

4 little blue-eyed heroine of eight years in the person of Clara Schlosser is receiving homage from scores of thankful travellers and the members of the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul crew of passenger train No. 4. By her presence of mind and bravery she averted a wreck that must have been disastrous but for her act.
 The railway through Greenville, Ia., makes sharp turn near the Schlosser home and the little girl knows as well as the trainmen When the train should arrive. A large dray horse in crossing the track became fastened in the cul- vert just before the train was due. Without a thought of danger to herself tke little girl threw off her red jacket and ran down the track till she met the passenger train. Wildly waving the red jacket as she ran she warned the en- gineer. who managed to stop the train within few feet of the child. When it was all over the passengers had cheered her and cried over her and showered her with silver and some gold coins. She told the engineer that She did not think about the people on the train. She was thinking only of the danger ths ''Rssx kazais' .zfss:ip.

Prospective Bensdicts in . College Organize to Fight '.Enights of
 Marble Heart"

Men students of the senior class at Northwestern university at Evanston who are engaged to be married met the other day and formed secret organi- zation for the encouragement of mat rimony. This alliance with Dan Cupid was made to counteract any move that may be contemplated by the anti-mar- riage club recently formed at the uni versity.
 Among the prospective benedicts who are charter members are Hasse O. Enwall, J. E. Smiley, A. J. Elliott, A w. Campbell, l.. P. Kincaid, Martin Crawford, G. P. Parkinson, Albert D. Sanders and H. B. Smith. They have plighted their troth with fair ''co-eds' and many weddings are looked for dur ing commeneement week.
 It was reported at the meeting that there were many leases" at the uni versity where only little encourage ment was needed to bring the couples to an understanding and so add to the membership of the prospective bene- diets. These eases will be assigned to various members and pressure vii be brought to bear to aid Cupid. This will be fayorite mode of attack to put to route the Knights of the Marble Heart, as the anti-marriage men are called

ters or '.bronchos.n as the critics in the east call the players, will have hard struggle to retain the best-twirler of that league, John Malarkey. While it cannot be said at this early date that Malarkey is going to wear the uniform of team in the American league, straws point that way.
 Malarkey is called .'The King" by the ball players. His record is excep- tionally fine, and coupled with his high percentage of winning games is his admiral ble showing in the fielding line. He would make a typical Griffith, or '.Kid'' Nichols, in faster company granting that the major leagues are really faster than the eastern league. During the championship season with Rochester, The King" won 26 games and offciated in Il that were lost. Time and again Malarkey did his part we'll in the games that his club lost, but it was not his good fortune to be able to overcome temporary handi- caps in the way of weak hitting by his colleagues. Malarkey is young - he was born in 1872-although by no means spring chicken" and weighs when in training about 155 pounds. He began playing professional ball in 1894 with the Stanton (Va.) club, and has land the pennant. In Syracuse in 1897 his pitching assisted in the flag lift ing"

COULD NOT CASH CHECK
The Combined Wealth of the Porto Rican Town Was Unable
 to Meet It.

As illustrating the scarcity of money in Porto Rico it is related that when. a government check for $2,o49 arrived in Manati few days ago in pay ment of the towns excise collections for the preceding month it caused a genuine sensation, says the Army and Navy Journal. The city employees and their immediate army of creditors commenced to parade in front of the mayor, who stood up holding the check so that all might see, Two thousand and forty-nine dollars! The mayor told the people that the check could not be cashed, as there was not money enough in the whole town, not even if all the business houses combined for the purpose of cashingit. He then told them that they had 10 wait for their money until some one could go to San Juan to cash the check.
 The mayor, envied by all, became tired from holding the check in the air, folded it, placed it in cigarette box, wound it with red tape and locked it up in the safe.

MuLTIPLIcITYsos "FAKEs."
This Writer Proposed International
 Exhibition of Bogus Articles

Every collector has some things pictures, books, worries, enamels, cas- kets, gems, terra cottas-which he in his heart suspects, and which his friends know, to be fakes" There are even many 'faked" charters, and autographs without number (espe- cially of Burns) are as flake" as the ''faked' Decreta1s. Could not Amer iea organize an international exhibi- tion of s'fakes?" It would be highly instructive, writes Andrew Lang, in the New York Independent. A sim gle flake" may deceive anybody, but an assortment of the same kind at once betrays itself. There is the famous old Greek crown, from the Chersonese, I think in French pos session. German scholars say. think. or used to say, that it should be sent to this exhibition. The pictures would be numerous, if we trust mod ern art critics; for my part do not it is their profession to alter att tributions of authorship. The works of Homer are vast fake" ii we listen to critics.
 Will public and private owners of collections contribute 10 this useIul and original exhibition? Mans hu- man vanity bars the way; people do not like to believe that they have been gulled. Yet what collection is free from imposture? Not one, I fear, and I will gladly exhibit my own forged twopenny treasures in the cause of humanity. verify be- lieye that there is a forged guinea of James II. and VII. on my watch chain at this moment. If not, his majesty had debased the currency. Warned of these things, collectors ought to be very careful. l fear that I have put autograph collectors off with forged autographs of my own. But autograph collectors are out of all 1aw-hostes humani generis. Everything is fair against an auto graph collector.

was present at the trial where a man with split-second watch timed a very ordinary denizen of the border, who drew his six-shooter and emptied it ina second and quarter, says Munsey's Magazine. 1t takes tyro that long to pull the trigger once when he is all ready. The experts do not pull the trigger at all. Long ago it was demonstrated that it was vast ly quicker to file off the pawl that locks a gun and trust to flaming" the hammer, than it was to shoot even the easiest of double-action re- volvers in the ordinary way. This ex- plains how it was possible for the famous man-killers to accomplish marvels against other and equally desperate men as well armed as them selves.

most successful coach in the land for the time he has been imparting his football knowledge to. young men in several universities, F. H. Yost, will be able to again present a grand eleven, as he has been signed for three years more at Ann Arbor. The major ity of his able gridiron warriors will return for next season, although Neil Snow will be missed from his great tackling, his fine end rush work in de- fense and his terrific and effective line bucking from the position of full back on offense. Bruce shorts, just named as captain for 1902, is one of the best tackles in the west--oniy Art Curtis, of Wisconsin, is accorded any higher praise by the majority of builders of All-Western elevens. Shorts is pop ular student, gent fine scholar and is but 23 years old. His position on the Michigan team at tackle promises to put him into promi- hence next season, and if fortune is kind to him he will be the Curtis of the west next season. Standing six feet one inch tall and weighing close to 190 pounds, he was a proverbial power of strength in the climax game of the season as we'll as in the first contest. Thousands of spectators cheered Shorts upon many an occasion when he took the desperate chance of gaining the ground Capt. White wanted him to gain against the Hawkeyes by hur- ding the Iowa men. A great shock of hair was seen above the mass of strug- gling players. a group of heavy men was seen to close about the man with the shock of hair, bracing, tearing. pushing, crushing mass of human flesh would go down to the ground, and where was Shorts? Always out flat with the ball extended on a line with his shock of hair. Shorts is the hurdler of the season.

 When it is recalled that the Polo Association of the United States the other day had to issue it's list of amend ed handicaps, several months before the usual time, because of the desire of the eastern polo experts to partici- pate in winter tournaments, some idea, of the extent of the preparations for knocking goals on frozen fields may be gained. But what of the tough little trained ponies that these experts are going to ride on the icy fields? Will not these animals have legs broken and even their necks? Perhaps. But the truth is, the nervous, trained little fellows from the Indian Terri tory are really at home in the presence of greatest danger. The ice is no worse to them than the gopher or prairie dog holes out on the plains.

Enclish-Irish Dialect.

An expression which English writers frequently put into the mouths of their Irish peasants is By jabers!" says the Academy. I have lived the greater part of my life in Ireland, both in the north and south, but have never heard it. '.Bedad!. and Begor!' are quite common, but not By jabers!" It would be advisab ble for English writ CTS to leave the Irish dialect severely alone, for they are sure to come to grief when they try to represent it. They generally produce an impossible jargon, built after the conventional stage pattern.
