ers, who is conducting the six
day race at Madison Square Gar
den, announced today that he will pay
the training and living expenses of
Cyclists King and SamueIson, the Salt
Lake City pair, while the race is in
progress.
King and SamueIsOn were deserted
by their manager in Denver, while on
their way to this city. They were left
without a dollar. without baggage and
without bicycles.
They managed to make their way
east on freight trains, and arrived at
the Garden poorly clad and absolutely
without means
Manager Powers got wheels for them.
and today engaged John West to train
them
Merri Osborne. the actress, heard of
the plight Of King and SamuelsOn. and
gave them $50 to help them along. Ihe
boys are but one lap behind the lead
ers, and SamuelsOn, in particular is
IN splendid physical condition. Many
prominent sporting men have an
nounced that they will contribute to
the King Samuelson fund if any money
is needed.
The Salt Lake team is a prime favor
lite with the spectators, who have
termed them THE OMrmons." They
have shown that they are on a par as
riders with Walthour and McEachern
and the others who are tied for first
place in the race.
King and Samuelson made several at
tempts today to regain their lost lap
and at several times il looked as if they
would succeed.

Scranton, Pa. Dec 10.-The exSusion
of Cinnamon, japanese and other Ash

scalping legislation and the ADVISABLE
ty of adopting a universal label for

questions that claimed the attention
Of the delegates at today's two ses-
sicns of the American Federation of
Labor.
The resolutions advocating the exclu-
sion of the Chinese were adopted by
the convention with cOnsidera Bile hur-
rah but in the matter Of excluding
natives of Japan and other Asiatic
lands a snag was struck. and this part
of the anti Monaghan legislation was
killed. so far as the present conven-
ton is concerned. The special COM
mittee having charge Of the exclusion
matter was unanimous in favorably re-
porting the Chinese section of the re-
solution. but was divided in regard TO
the japanese.
The Pacific coast delegates led the
discussion on Chinese exclusion. but

the remarks of those opposed to the
Japanese resolution was that Chinese
immigration was the greater evil of the
two and that to insist upon some re-
strictive law to prevent a Japanese in
vasion may endanger the passage by
congress of the Chinese act.
The ticket scalping debate was a
lively affair. When the viva voce vote
was taken, those in favor of permitting
ticket scalping won by an overwhelm-
ing majority. The agitation for a uni
versal label. which has been carried on

Russians Diver.iaed Trade.

Each part of the Russian empire
seems to require different kinds Of
machinery and supplies. At Odessa
and Azof seaports 1t is a common
sight to observe miles of Chicago made
reapers and other agricultural imple-
ments awaiting shipment inland, while
at Batum Is unloaded machinery for
the oil wells, the tubing for the pipe
lines being constructed by a Russo
American factory in Russia. In the
west machinery for electrical plants,
railway material and mill machinery
find their way to Riga and st. Peters
burg, while in the east the result of
the cars ukase abolishing all tariffs
on materials entering Pacific ports OF
Russia has had the desired effect of
vastly increasing Siberia's commerce
with America. Through these Siberian
ports passed the rails, ties, locomotives
and equipment of the Manchurian and
eastern section of the Transsiberian
railway, to say nothing OF the iron
work for bridges and material for con-
structing and supplying new cities and

The Extinct Mocking Bird.

The hooking bird is practically ex-
tinct save in captivity, and there are
but few of them captive, for the bird
does not take readily to n cage, and
unless caught when very young II Is
reported to commit suicide rather than
endure Imprisonment or to be supplied
with poison by the free birds that pity
its fate. 1t was discovered not long
ago that many of the negroes on the
plantations, knowing very little about
orthodoxy, shoot any bird they come
across and are indulging in potpie
made Of the American nightingale.
This slaughter has been largely stop
ped by the license taxes placed on the
sale Of shotguns and ammunition. This
action was not taken, however, until
there were very few mocking birds left
in Louisiana. The same Is true of the
game law which was passed only at the
last session of the legislature, when the
ducks had been killed or largely driven
from Louisiana. and the action of the

birds also came little late.-New York

CHOICE MISCELLANY
Catching Tigers.

CAPTURING tigers by novel method
is now being adopted in Sumatra and Is
proving almost invariably successful.
AS soon as tigers lair has been found
natives are employed TO construct a
wooden fence o feet long and 4 feet
wide short distance away from II,
and I'm this inclosure Is then placed as
a bait dog. which is tied 10 one OF the
fence posts. A narrow entrance leads
into the inclosure. and there, deftly
concealed under earth leaves and
boughs of trees. Is placed a strong steel
trap which is SO designed that any an
imal that places its foot on II Is certain
to be held captive.
This trap Is of recent invention and
consists of strong steel plates and
equally strong springs. When IL Is set,
the plates form sort of platform, and
as soon as the tiger which has been
lured thither by the dog sets his foot
thereon the springs are released, and
the cruel steel grips the leg and holds 1t
fast.
Powerful as tiger Is, he cannot free
himself from such bondage. and as
those who have set the trap are never
far away he Is in a short time either
killed or securely Gagged. At the same
time the dog Is released, and indeed he
could not be removed from the inclo-
sure as long rs the trap was set. since
this instrument. strong as 1t is. is new
ertheless so delicate that the pressure
even OF a dogs foot would release the
springs and cause the animals leg to
be crushed in twinkling.
