Ping Pong Has Developed into Little

Ping Pong Has Developed into Little

Last autumn. when ping Dong was

trarv, however. it has been rapidly
growing in popularity during the last
few months. and now it is the most
popular game played at par ties, at
many of the clubs and at home; in
fact. it has developed into little less
than craze. and 1t is doubtful
whether any game which has appear

aud recreation during the dav The
game has, in short taken such a
hold uDcn society that its lasting
popularity seems to be ass-rec. and
IT bids fair to become one of the
permanent games. And it is not at
all improbable that many ping pong
clubs will have been organized by
next season, and that championship
games and ping-pong tournaments
will be frequent.
People who plav ping pong would
doubtless be interested to know some-
thing of the origin of the attractive
little game. Plng-pong is an inter-

popular as in this country. it is call

England il is known al" Whit. waff. -
The name is derived from the sound
of the celluloid ball striking the vel

fine skill and requires dexterous
hand, which adds to its difficulty
and the attractiveness II the sport.

petition---AttOrney Mum Thinks
His Case Is Strengthened.

New York, Nov. 22.-John S. Ken
nedy, director of the Northern Secur-
tiles Company, has given his testimony
at the hearing of the case of Minnesota
against the company. During the re-
cess, after Mr.. Kennedy had testified,
Magnus D. Dunn, counsel for the state
of Minnesota, said:
"Mr. Kennedy practically admitted
that the Northern Securities company
was organized for the express purpose
of combining the parallel railroads to
prevent competition. That is all we
charge the company with and that is
what the laws of Minnesota say is
illegal
Mr.. Kennedy began his testimony by
saving he presumed he and j. j. Hill
spoke of THE Northern Securities Com
pany in talk they had when Mr.. Hill
returned from Europe in June. 1901.
"You decided to turn all of your In
terests to the holding company" asked
Mr.. Mum.
Something was said to that effect at
a meeting that was held"
Mr.. Kennedy said he and most of the
other stockholders gave their proxies to
Mr.. Hill.
"Wasn't it understood that the hold
ing company was to get enough stock OF
each of the railroad companies to make
sure that there would never be any
combination against the Great
Northern" asked Mr.. Mum.
That's what understood.
"Did you understand that the stock
holders of the holding company would
obtain enough to control the policies of
both companies?" asked Mr.. Mum.
understood" Mr.. Kennedy re-
piled, "that the Northern Securities
stockholders would own enough stock in
the railway companies to elect officers
and directors of both railroads"
"That is all we wanted, Mr.. Ken
nedy," said Mr.. MUM, "much obliged
to you"
W. P Clough, general counsel for the
Northern Securities Company, testified
that at the meeting of the,Great North
ern directors in October, 650,7 shares
of Great Northern was recorded as
voted. OF that number 1872, 754 stood
in the name of the various holders and
458,O17 as holdings of the trustees for
the Northern Securities Company.
None was voted in the name of the Sc
curities Company.

FACING'A CRISIS.
Affairs i'm Cuban Labor Circles in
Serious Condition.

Havana, Nov. 24.-The Island Of
Cuba is facing an extraordinary crisis.
Labor has ceased, the energies and &C.
Invites OF Havana and other important
cities are paralyzed, cooks, hotels and
house servants, as we'll as mechanical
workers and laborers, are on a strike,
and an attempt is apparently being
made to starve the city.
The electric railway service is sus-
pended and city and suburban transpor-
tation is at standstill. From Cien-
fuegos and other principal towns on the
Coast, and in the interior the workers
telegraph that they are on a strike in
cooperation with the workers in Ha-
vana, and it is reported that unless the
American tobacco trust comes to terms
with its employees in Cuba within
week the torch may be applied to the
growing tobacco in the fields and valua-
BILE crops destoyed.
The fact that the government has
confirmed the report of the chief OF po-
lice of Cardenas for going against the
strikers is regarded as proof that the
authorities wish the police to cooperate
with the strikers. Foreign diplomats
criticize the inactivity of President
Palma amid conditions which seem
charged with the gravest peril to pub
lie interests.

GRIND CANADIAN WHEAT.
Company Bond One OF
Its Mills.

st. Paul, Nov. 24.-One of the big
milling companies of Minneapolis has
bonded one of its mills for an indefinite
period to grind nothing but Canadian
wheat. The bond signed by the Gus
toms house is for $50, 900. According
to the terms of the bond. the mill shall
have continually within it's walls gov
eminent storekeepers who will see that
only Canadian grain will be delivered
to the mills in cars from Canada, which
shall be in charge of the customs house
men. The entire product of the mill,
-four, bran and shorts, will be loaded
into bonded cars and will be taken
directly East for shipment entire to
Liverpool. The custom heretofore was
to ship the grain from the Canadian
northwest boundary through to Liver
pool. Grinding of the grain in Min
neapolis instead of in England will
create great saving through transit.
