The English home office is reported
to be considering the abolition of
Black Maria. The origin of the term
BLACK Maria" is curious When New
England was filling with emigrants
from the mother country a negress,
named Maria Lee. kept a sailors
boarding house in Boston. She was
a woman of great strength, and help
ed the authorities to keep the peace.
Frequently the police invoked her aid,
andthe saying, Send for Black Maria, +"
came to mean Take him to Jail" Brit
ish seamen were often taken to the
lookup by this amazon, and the sto-
ries they spread of her achievements
led to the name of Black Maria being
given to the English prison van.

For the last two years members of
the Baptist church of Saco, Me-, have
been annoyed by sound of the
church building. While it was not
especially troublesome, it was annoy
ing from the fact that it was constant
and could not be located. The sexton
hunted everywhere for it, but with
out success until the latter part of last
week. In making more thorough
search than usual he found tucked
away in a gable end a swarm OF bees
and about fifty pounds OF honey.

MARTIN DUFFY,s DEBUT.

Chicago has at last lightweight who
promises to become a champion in his
class, says the Inter Ocean. Martin
Duffy is his name, and he gave Art
Simms, the clever Akronite, a beating
at Detroit in ten rounds that boosted
Duffy's stock sky high.
Duffy is tall and slender. Simms is
shorter than the Chicagoan, and he
naturally fought for Martins body.
But Duffy led his left with telling eff
feet for the head. He reached Simms'
jaw again and again with hooks and
jabs that staggered the Ohio man.
Simms made wild rally in the fourth.
and fought Duffy's body with both
hands. From then on to the eighth
round honors were even, then Duffy
cut loose, and left jabs and right
swings found Simms' face in quick sue
cession. Simms fought back gamely,
but was unable to stem the tide of de-
feat. Duffy punished him badly, and
nothing but the experience gained in
many battles saved the Ohio lad from
clean knockout.
Duffy's victory over Simms places
him in direct line for championship

POPULARITY OF SQUASH.
Tournaments to he Held mt Tuxedo

Tournaments to he Held mt Tuxedo
and Merton Cricket Club.
Squash owes its name to the boys Of
Harrow school. England. who have
played the game for 30 years with n
racket and soft ball against every
wall about the place. 1t was this prae-
tice with the racket and the skill
acquired in judging the speed Of re-
bounding ball to which is due. accord
ing to English critics, the pre-emi-
nence Harrow has maintained Mt inter-
school rackets and court tennis. The
search for quick indoor game that
could be enjoyed on the dark. short
winter afternoons has caused quite
furore for squash this seIson at the
country clubs and country houses. says
the New York Sun. and at both the
Tuxedo club and the Merton cricket
club there will be regular tournaments
before the spring.
The Merton squash courts were open
ed last November. They are three in
number and finished in white asphalt
so that black balls have to be used.
y set of courts is under way Mt the
Ardsley club and building for squash
to contain two courts Is to be put up
at the Nassau Country club. The
Meadow Brook club was the first to
have n squash court about New York.
There are courts now at the Norris
town club, the Country club Of West
chester. Georgian Court and two at the
Racket and Tennis club. where the
rooms used for boxing and tennis have
been turned over to squash. There are
courts. too. at several of the large
boarding schools for boys in the east.
Squash was played at Aiken. s. c..
before the Meadow Brook set took 1t
up. for II. II. Hunnewcll bulls q court

A good size for n court is 80 by 20

give space for two courts. The players

The court has two service boxes, the
ball being served to the wnli above the

site service box before 1t has touched

Wildcat and Lien SHOT bT Vice Prcs-
ident Elect Enriy In Ris Trip.
Barring accidents, Vice President
Elect Roosevelt will shoot all the
mountain lions and wildcats ii the
Coyote basin country before he fn-
ishes his outing. He has bcen hunting
from daylight to dark every day since
he left Meeker, Colo, and brought
down magnificent specimen of n wild
cat and lion in two days, says the
Philadelphia Press. The country around
which he Is hunting is literally alive
with the game he is after. and, follow
ing the best pack Of dogs in Colorado.
there is every indication that he will
have lion for every day he is in the
country.
Within IA miles of Meeker a trail
was struck and followed Coming over
the last hill before the kill the cat
could be seen making tracks across the
snow and heading for the nearest tree.
Then the dogs took up the joyful cho-
rus which resounded through the hills
and told the hunters that the animal
had been freed.
Up in the tree, just out of reach of
the dogs, crouched magnificent speci-
men of the Rocky mountain wildcat,
ready to fight for his life. Roosevelt
took deliberate aim and fred. The bali
tore through the left leg. breaking it
close to the shoulder, and on through
the heart OF the animal. which straight
ened w for q moment and then pitched
headlong among the dogs. dead. In an
instant the bulldogs We're upon the car
cass and ready to tear out any life that
might have been left, but they We're
too late, and in order to keep the hide
intact the dogs We're called off.
Hard as the trip was. Roosevelt Was
up with the sun next morning and
ready to resume the sport. After fol
short time the dogs took ul Il clearly
defined lion track. 1t was not long be-
fore the chase became very hot and the
lion was cutting out Il path along the
rocks at the edge cf the basin. which
it was impossible for the horsemen to
follow and in many places was too dan
gerous for the dogs. The lion ran about
400 yards. where he was freed and
brought down with the first shot.
The distinguished hunter had brought
down his first cat and his first lion.
and, although the prospects are bright
for the best kind of hunting during the
three weeks. the excitement attendant
upon the initial kills is over.
The nearest ranch to him from the
Meeker side is Goff's place. about 10
miles away. and on the other side the
closest ranch Is about 45 miles. The
basin where he is hunting is an ideal
cattle location ard the only one for
miles around. A man and his wife and
two children are living there. The
Roosevelt party will have n cabin of its
own. and n woman has been taken out
to do cooking for the party.

(By the Associated Press.)

New York Jan. 25.-Never in the
knowledge of the Oldest traders has the
cotton market shown the abnormal
conditions existing oday. 1t is no I'M
usual thing to withess a squeeze at
the end of tue season, but corner in
January is 81 netting out of the oldi-
nary. Yet Janu2'y squeeze" has
been worrying shorts in the cotton
market here for some time spast. Some
believe that the deal eliminated today
with a rise Of 255 points; others believe
that the act tai liquiiation has not been
fully completed an9 that therefore,
there may bs. further sensational de-
velopments The market beyond the
special atten ion giN0r = January has
been almost .meIess
Closing Saturday at 1920, January OPP
ened this morning at 1870 and advanced
rapidly to l7.75. The market broke
later to 1850. which was the level at
noon. Th4 greatest jumps were from
1890 to 1900. from 1926 to 1880, thence
to 1915. At tie latter point New York
concern representing big New England
interests, commenced to sell right and
left and a litcle later a Greek house also
sold This stopped the rise and the
market sagged off to 11.50. The air was
filled with rumors of cotton to be deliv-
cred from Fall River and shipments
are known to have been made this
morning by express, guaranteed to be
here in time for January delivery.
About 80 900 bales January changed
hands before noon. II does not follow
that long interest was liquidated to
this amount as the Clique bought as well
as sold. There was d sympathetic rise
in February and March, the former sell
ing as high as $50, and the latter at
ga, while the excitement in January
was the greatest; but the general list
made a reluctant advance of only three
and six points and ruled very dull.
During the rest of the afternoon the
cotton market ruled quiet with January
closing at 1905, a net advance of So
points for the day, and the other months
one point higher to three points lower.
In accordance with the advance in jan
uary spot cotton sold at 12c-an advance

Especial to News and observer)

Washington, D. c., Jan. 2S.-It was
made clear today that a fight will be
made against Senator elect Simmons, Of
North Carolina, being sworn in.
When it was announced in the Senate
this afternoon that the credentials of Mr.
Simmons had arrived Senator MeComas. Of
Maryland moved that the credentials he
referred TO the Committee on Privileges
and Elections. Senator Cockrell. Of Mis-
souri,, asked why should they be referred.
Before McComas could reply Senator Hoar
time to make the reference that Mr.
simmons credentials were not before the
Senate and that no action could be taken
until the Fourth of March when Mr.. Sim
mons term as a Senator would begin.
Senator Chandler, chairman of the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections, said
that he would object 10 the reference of
the credentials of his committe al this
time Senator McComas said he made
the motion because the North Carolina
Senators-Pritchard and Butler-were out
Of the chamber and that had they been
present they would have made the motion
to refer He therefore withdrew his mo-
ton and the credentials were laid upon
the table.
The action today can be taken as fore
runner of what will be done when Mr..
Simmons presents himself in the Senate
to be sworn in on the Fourth Of March.
The Senate Pension Committee has
unanimously reported Senator Pritchard's
resolution constituting section AIS of the
revised statutes relating to pensions to
soldiers who served in the Confederate
army and afterwards joined the Federal
armv
Some years ago the pension office ruled
that a Confederate soldier who served
in the Union army and was honorably dis
charged because of wounds CIR disease
contracted in the service was entitled to
a pension This ruling, however, was
later reversed. The Pritchard resolution
now makes eligible for pension all the
men who first served in the Confederate
service, but afterwards joined the United
States army and were wounded in battle
or contracted diseases in the line of duty.
There are about two thousand men in
North Carolina who will be able to secure
pensions under the Pritchard resolution.
