Golf In the old Days.

Centuries back golf was 3 pastime OF
the royal family. though then usually
PLAYED in Scotland. The Stuart family
was very fond of the game. and the
first English club was established at
Blackheath in 1908 by James, l. His
eldest son, Henry, frequently played
and on one occasion nearly struck by
accident his tutor with club, where
upon he coolly remarked, Had I done
so 1 had but paid my debts" Charles
I was playing golf when he received
the news Of the Irish rebellion. James,
duke Of York, afterward James II, was
another ardent player. Golf is fire.
uuently mentioned in ancient Scottish
records and in the fifteenth century
was prohibited because it interfered
with the practice of archery. Strut
considered it the most ancient game at
ball requiring a bat.-LOndOn Chron-

SCRANTON, JANUARY 4, 1901.

Unless the sum Of S7oo can be raised
today the Rescue mission, which for
nine years has been performing an
invaluable service among the unfor-
tunate OF our city, will have to close
it's doors. This would be public
misfortune at any time, but peculiar-
ly SO at this particular time, when q
hiSh tide of vice is prevalent in our
city, and when the question Of meet
ing it and caring for it's outcast VIC
Tins is one OF the most pressing prob
lens of the hour. 1t may we'll be
doubted whether the community could
not better afford to close the door Of
its most active church than to permit
this practical and effective humane in. d.
stitutior to suspend. To a large de-
gree our churches minister to the Sc
lect in the community, but the Rescue
mission works entirely among the
submerged fraction. and the suspen-
sion of it's activities would leave un-
filled vital want.

Outline Studies
OF Human Nafdre
Host Thought She Wanted More.

MFRS. CORNELIUS STEVENSON is a woman
lvl Of more than local fame. Her book,
called "a Dream OF Empire" dealing with Maxi.
millian's il.fated reign in Mexico, brought her
before the literary and historical world Her
studies in. and papers on, archaeology have made
her a figure in the scientific world. She has
added to this theoretical knowledge by recently
making a trip to Egypt in the interests Of tire
University Of Pennsylvania, Of whose archeologi'
cal department. slIe is the only woman member,
relates the Saturday Evening Post.
Her trip to Egypt put her in touch with the
people, the excavations, the political life and
the archaeological researches of that country. Sue
says the most interstin: meal she ate was
grand dinner given her by the greatest sheis
in that part of the country. His invitation
came to her with great fornalty, and she looked
forward to the dinner with delight. She felt
II would be a unique sensation.
But she could not eat one quarter as much
as they served TO her. She enjoyed the first few
courses and was satisfied. Dish after dish was
served by the Bedouin servants; on, on went the
dinner, and the others ate, but II was inipossi-
bic for her to do so. She touched the food
slightly, up to the Ettecnth course; then her
nature rebelled.
At the last course the powerful sheik arose.
lie was obviously iritated and concerned. Max
ing her a sweeping bow, he said:
''Madam, you do not eat, because you are an.
cry that have not served you more dishes.

consisting Of mountains OF iron. copper,
and other valuable ores. Among other
discoveries is that Of solid bed OF
gypsum eight miles in length. In tim.
Der, the supplies are equally valuable.
For hundreds Of miles. IL is claimed,
the railway will run through dense for
ests OF big trees. including birch, maple
hard elm. tamarack. spruce. balsam,
poplar and white pine. CurlG birch,
which can now be bought along the
railway for 40 cents a cord. commands
$40 a thousand feet in the United
States. Elm wood that can be cut at 10
cents cord sells for $25 a thousand
feet at Minneapolis and other points
in the Northwest that are within easy
shipping distance.
IL is announced that particular at
tention will be given to transient traf-
fic, and at every stopping place a first
class hotel will be built by the railway.
At Hudson Bay, 1t Is proposed to es-
tablish modern seaside hotel. Game
is plentiful. and scores of lakes and
rivers that are teeming with fish will
be reached by the railway. The seem
cry. bracing climate, hunting and fish
ing are expected 10 attract thousands
of tourists. The railway also intends
to handle Hudson Bay fish products on
q large scale. If the plans of the off,
cials are all carried out, the new rail-
way to the north, reaching as It does
to the very slopes of the Arctic ocean,
will be one of the most daring and
picturesque attempts to subjugate a
wilderness known to railway annals.
The Ontario government. in addition
to n subvention of $1,000 a mile, grants
a 20-mile belt of land to the construc-
tors OF the road--ten miles on either
side of the track. A former resident
of Scranton, who recently explored a
portion of the territory comprehended
within this project, says 1t is undoubt-
edly destined to be a theater of great
developments. Those who decry SUBJ
sides for American ocean shipping
would probably object on principle to
this Canadian form of government
paternalsm extended over private en-
terprise but the next generation will
reap large benefits and probably erect
monuments in honor of the pioneers of
today.

A Canadian Object Lesson.

W y HlI-E in the United States
new railway construc-
p ton is becoming less
every year, If we except
the building of connecting links and
small tributary lines, in Canada it is
just beginning. An example of pioneer
railway construction likely to have far
reaching results is described in some
detail in q recent consular report by
United States Consul Brush stationed
at Niagara Falls, Canada.
This is line to connect the great
lakes with Hudson bay The railway
plunges hundreds of miles through an
unbroken wilderness, with no cities,
towns or even villages to afford trafic.
In fact. only Indian guides and hunters
have ever attempted to penetrate the
great wilderness to the north. Never
theless, the railroad, which is known
as the Algoma Central, is being built
In the most thorough manner possible
with the best equipment available,
able to stand almost any strain upon 1t
and capable Of good service for years
are used, and the locomotives are Of
enormous size weighing 135 tons when
equipped for traffic.
The new railway starts at Sauit Ste.
Marie. Ground was broken less than
four months ago, but already twenty
five miles Of ROAD are completed and in
use, and the railway is pushing for
ward at the rate of half a mile a day.
1t is expected that it will require three
years to complete the road. The mil
lions of capital involved came mostly
from the United States. but the build
ers have made careful computations as
TO traffic and are confident that the
road will realize all that is promised
as an investment. 1t had its origin in
the necessity Of bringing supplies of
pulp wood from the far north to the
sault mills. but 1t opens up as well a
region that is fabulously rich in min
erals and timber. The mineral wealth
" said to be practically inexhaustible.

The most complete method of stop
ping hazing in individual cases at West
Point would be for fond parents to
train up their candidate sons as prize
fighters. A big, strong, scrappy boy
with ordinary brains. probably gets
through the military academy with
considerably more credit than the
slender. studious chap who has won
kpratorical prizes and Sunday school
cards since he was in the kindergar-
ten. A strong, muscular youth will
be able TO keep up his mental requis-
ties better than the intellectual cadet
who. by reason of brutal treatment at
the hands of fellow students, is in
capacitated bodily and mentally for
his arduous work. This is rather poo-
encouragement for the ambitious, stu
dious hoy, but few powerful, iron
muscled first year fellows would have
n weighty moral effect on the ener-
getic ingenuity Of upper-class bullies.

not of their concern are lauded as

those Democrats who, in the failure Of
their own party to put in an official
appearance, took the liberty to choose
the other horn of the Republican
dilemma, preferring straight Republi-
canism to hybrid politics Of the Doodle
denomination, are subjected to bill
ingsgate.
This illustrates anew the despicab;e
hypocrisy of the whole so-called in
surgent movement--a movement which,
under the pretence of purity and re-
form, has befouled the commonwealth
with abominable method to a degree
making the most practiced regular
blush. Words are lacking to charac-
terize fittingly the impudent abandon
with which the pharisaical principals
in the Boxer coalition. as they drew
near the close of their contest for can
ture OF the legislature, threw aside
their masks of piety and went into the
dirty work of political manipulation
like past masters OF the devious art,
They felt that their peculiar methods
were Irresistible, They were dumb
founded when the count showed that
they had lost.
So now they vent their chagrin bv
belaboring their opponents through the
columns of their subsidized publica-
tions. This relieves them and does
little harm. No fact is clearer than
that the bottom of their pretentlous
combination for revenge and plunder
has dropped completely out.
