MISSES HECKER AND HERON
WINNERS IN NSEMI-F FINALS OFGOLF
CHAMPIONSHIP.
They ill Meet To-day In tho Final
Round of National Women's ToUrna-
ment.-The East Against the West
Defeat of Miss Curtis a Great Surprise
Mrs. Manice Outdriven by Miss
HecAer-The COnso La ton Match.
Consolation Match.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE contest for
the women's national amateur golf
championship will be finished to-mor-
row between Miss Genevieve Hecker of
the Essex County Country club, Orange,
N. j., and Miss Lucy Heron of the
Cincinnati, O., Country club. After
four days play these two have survived
out of the eighty-four players who en-
tered the contest last Tuesday Miss
Hecker is the metropolitan amateur
champion and is we'll known in eastern
golting circles while Miss Heron has
surprised everyone here by her bril-
liant play, being comparatively un-
known as tiptopper at the game in
this part Of the country.
When the semi-final round was be-
gun this morning Mrs. Heron was pit
ted against Miss Margaret Curtis Of
the Essex County club Of Manchester,
Mass, and Miss Hecker was paced
against Mrs e. A. Manice of Lenox,
Mass. There were very few Of the 500
golfing enthusiasts who had assembled
at the Baltusrol Golf club links who
thought that both of the Massachu-
setts representatives would be beaten
Many of them believed that Miss Cur
It's with her usually excellent long
drives and clever play through the
green would be more than able to hold
her own against the Cincinnati young
woman and the fact that she won only
one hole out of the sixteen played
came as complete surprise to every
body. The one hole which Miss Curtis
won was the first. The next six We're
halved in fairly good scores and 1t was
noticeable that whenever either player
made a mistake the other duplicated 1T.
Hence the close play. Miss Heron
showed wonderful improvement in her
long game, which may probably be ac-
credited to her use Of the lively ball.
Miss Curtis, while playing her usual
long game, was unsteady and in fact
erratic at times On the eighth hole
Miss Curtis overplayed the green and
the ball got into the woods In conse-
quence This cost her the hole and the
lead, as Miss Heron won 1t in five to
six, making the game "All square"
The ninth was halved In four, each
player having covered the outward
journey In fifty strokes each. Coming
back Miss Heron won the tenth, giving
her the lead by one up. Two halved
holes followed and then the western
player increased her lead to three up by
winning the thirteenth and fourteenth.
Miss Curtis over approached on the
thirteenth and after recovery missed
short put. playing the fourteenth
the Massachusetts young woman sliced
out of bounds from the tee and was un-
able to overcome this dieadvantags.
She certainly had hard luck on the t1f-

Earns SIS 900 for Toledo Charity at til e
Same Time.

Toledo, Oct. 11.-Cresceus lowered the
worlds trotting record this afternoon
on a half-mile track one-quarter of a
second. The record was previously held
by himself, having been made on the
Toledo track one year ago. 1t was

MUST RAISE FULL RANSOM
ANOTHER URGENT APPEAL TO
SAVE MISS STONE
ISSUED by the Same CIergymen Who
Signed the First One-Neariy One-Haif
of the Required $4,000 Yet to be
Raised-Priyate Advtces Show the Alb
solute Necessity of Raising the Full
Amount at Once.

Boston, Oct 1.-THE misunderstand-
ing existing in various parts OF the
country, indicated especially in private
advices received here as to progress or
the fund to ransom Miss Stone, the
missionary, is considered to be of suffi-
cient reason for the issuance of another
appeal for funds by the clergymen who
signed the first one. The idea is to
impress upon the people of America the
danger which still threatens Miss Stone.
The second appeal follows:
Boston, Mass, Oct. IL, 1901.
To the People of America:
The promptings of our hearts compel
us to issue second urgent appeal to
the people of America to come to the
rescue of Miss Ellen M. Stone, the
American missionary now held captive
by brigands in the Balkan mountains
for a ransom of $4,000. Nearly one
half that sum is yet to be raised.
Private advices received yesterday
were to the effect that it was absolute
ly necessary to raise the full amount at
once. The story of thirty days res
pite is absolutely discredited In the best
informed circles.
To-day's information from Washing
ton is far from being so reassuring as
was hoped yesterday.
The public should not be deceived.
by the idea that the American Board,
as such, will pay any of the ransom. 1t
has officially declared that it could not,
although it's members have unanl-
mously expressed sympathy with the
movement.
Will not pastors, tender hearted wo-
men. patriotic men, and representatives
Of commercial and financial activity
eyerywhere-will not every one aid by
giving and soliciting, until the entire
fund Is in hand?
A life is at stake, the life of Chris
tian. a missionary, patriot, and no.
BILE American.
All contributions should be sent d.
rect to Kidder, Peabody & Co., 115 Dew
onshire street, Boston, or Barring, Ma
goun & Co., IL Wall street New York.
All money contributed will be return
ed to the donors in case its use is not
necessary, Or in the event of its being
hereafter returned by or through the
United States government.

Officially States He Will Follow In His
Fathers Footsteps.

Fathers Footsteps.
Simla, Oct. 1L--Habib Ullah Khan,
the new Ameer of Afghanstan, has Of
ficially informed Lord Curzon, the vice
roy of India, that he will follow in his
fathers footsteps, hoping that the
friendship existing between the Afghan
and British governments will continue
to increase.
London, Oct. 12.-"According to Off
cial intelligence from the Ameer Of
Bokhara," says a dispatch from St.
Petersburg to the Daily Telegraph, the
brothers Of Ha.bib Ullah Khan left Ca
bull secretly with their partisans the
moment their father died and therefore
cannot be said to have acquiesced in
the accession of their brothers. Habib
TJllah. indignant at their flight, has
taken measures to defend the capital
and sent strong detachments to pre-
vent their return or to endeavor to cap
ture them as rebels. He has further
resolved to ask assistance OF Emperor
Nicholas and the Ameer of Bokhara."
AS bearing upon the advices to the
Daily Telegraph from st. Petersburg it
Is pointed out that Habib Ullah, In his
letter to Lord Curzon announcing his
accession, asserted that his younger
brothers had sworn allegiance to him
in a public durbar on the day the old
ameer died.

London, Oct. 11.-After detailing the
history of the abduction of Miss Stone
the Spectator remarks: President
Roosevelt and the Washington cabinet
maintain justly that the sultan is re-
sponsible as it is his misgovernment
which provokes and protects brigan-
dage; and they intend to demand rep
aration from the porte. 1t will not be
limited, we imagine, to G25,OOO. The
porte will be required to punish the
authors of the outrage; and as Turkey
is, sure to shuttle and America is tired
of being played with, naval demon
stration is quite on the cards. The sui
tan will, of course, yield to the first
show Of force"

Experts WeII Pleased.

of loyal Canadians paid their respects
to the Duke of York and Cornwall to-
day. The events of the day began with
a grand review of 10000 troops and a
march past which w2s highly COM
mended by English army experts pres
ent. Both infantry and cavalry evolu-
tions proved features with the specta

highly pleased with the work of the
colonial troops. Not the least interest

past of the Halidmand Rifles, a regi-
ment composed for the main part of
descendants of the Iroquois Indian
tribe, whose dusky faces lighted up
with pleasure at the applause given
them. In the afternoon the degree of

MARRIAGE And DIVORCE.
EPISCOPAL CONTENTION STILL
STRUGGLING WITH PROBLEM.

Bishops Adopt an Amendment That
Divorced Persons Remarrying May
| Receive sacram ent on Consent of the
| Bishop Discussion in tho House of
Deputies-New Missionary Bishops
| Nominated.
San Francisco, Oct 1.-THE question
of marriage and divorce was before
| both houses of the triennial convention
of the Episcopal church of America to-
day. The bishops adopted a substitute
for the proposed canon 81, providing for
the discipline of persons marrying
again after being divorced. The princi-
pal change made by the substitute Is
the provision that such persons may re-
ceive the sacrament on the written con-
sent of bishop
The house of deputies began the eag-
erly awaited debate of section four of
the proposed canon 36, which virtually
prohibits the remarriage in the church
of divorced persons. The discussion
will be continued on Monday The
only vote reached during the day was
on a proposed modification of DIR.
Hunting's amendment, providing for
determining the cause of divorce in the
case of a divorced person applying to
be married. This was defeated
In the course of the discussion Rev.
DR.. Greer of New York cited the fact
that more divorces are granted in this
IN o1I nnJ Mt
Europe together Every consideration
of social purity of our country, Of the
sacredness of the home and of the
teaching of Christ, led him to oppose
DR. Huntington's amendment and to
favor the measure just as 1t came from
the bishops.
Rev DR.. Fiske of Rhode Island ap-
pealed for the support of the deputies
to the original measure
Rev. Dr. McKim of Washington had
deep sympathy with the motive of the
canon as it came from the bishops, but
he did not believe 1t would accomplish
the end intended. 1t was revolutionary
legislation in the church. He differed
from those who, with the church of
Rome, held marriage to be absolutely
indissoluble The claim was unscrip-
tural he said He cited Bishop King
Of Litchfield Eng, as unable to re-
gard marriage as indissoluble. This
view was supported by Bishops Light
foot Wentworth and French.
The house of bishop has nominated
missionary bishops to be elected by the
house of deputies as follows:
District of Han Kow--Rev James
Addison Ingle, now of Han Kow.
District of the ilippines-Rev-
Charles H. Brent, now of st. Stephens,
Boston.
District of Olypmia-Rev. Fred Will
liam Keaton, now of Dubuque, Ia.
District of Porto Rico and adjacent
islands-Rev. William Cabell Brown,
now connected with the mission of
Brazil.

that he saved South Africa for Great

down to Durham; and, in that case, in

there Is no doubt the Cape Dutch would
have risen and the British been driven
