Wittmer Has Peculiar Way of

He Breaks Holds That Look Good to

 Matches Directly After the Dwyer
 Match-Kelly's Challenge to swan

 Wittmer's style in a contest is that of a past master of an art. He goes about his work methodically, planning and studying at all times how best 10 bring about the desired resclf Ill .tle easiest possible manner. lie is qulcN thinking fellow, always ready to take advantage of any openings, put eau tious that he is not being led into trap that would give his opponent an opportunity to turn the tables in his favor Wittmer is equally at fome or his feet or on the mat, but appears to advantage at close range work because of his long practice at he Graeco Roman style He usually works his holds in combinations. and q hammer lock and crotch hold is one I his Ia vorites He is very misleading in ms actions while wrestling, .)laying appar. ently for a certain hold, but in reality i'll feinting only for an entirely dlffer- ent grip. He has often worked for as long as ten minutes at one particular hold, leading his opponent to believe that he was bent on weakening that one spot. when like a flash nc would see the chance he had been waiting for and in q minute his mans shoulders would be pinned to the canvas. Ar other thing about Wittmcr is that he will release holds that lppear to he effective to the spectators Dut which he sees will exert strain on himself without a chance to pin his man se curely. He does this. hc says, be cause he has learned that when in q strained position the chances were just as much in favor of his opponent and there is always the danger of being rolled into fall unless one is in such position that the move an opponent may make can be blocked.
 Sometime ago q letter was sent to Billy Lee of Yonkers. who is the man. ager of Alex Swanson. asking for q match for John F.

 A Pretty Royal Custom

A pretty custom dating from the wedding of the late Queen Victoria has ever since pertained to the royal fam fly. A sprig of myrtle which formed a part of the brides wreath was care fully cultured and in due time planted out When the princess royal was mar ried sprigs were cut for her bridal wreath from this myrtle tree. The princess, following her mothers eX- ample, had one of the sprigs cared for till it became full-sized tree, which served for her daughter-in-law's s wreath at the wedding of the present emperor of Germany. The custom was observed in the marriage of the prince of Wales and all other of Queen Vic toria's children and grandchildren. There is already, as the result of this charming custom, the making of a grove of myrtle trees. Other royal customs attached to lhe marriage of the royal family relate to the bouquet and the wedding cake. Ever since the marriage of Queen Victoria a firm of Windsor florists have had the honor of presenting the one, Chester confec- t;orer finding the other, neither ac- Gepting payment.-The Scotsman.

ELECTRICITY FOR. TUNNEL

.
 Dense Smoke and steam Obscurs
 signals-Invcstigati Made.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The Herald today says:
 "The New York Central railroad will change it's motive power in the Park avenue tunnel within year. Electrici- ty will be substituted for steam on all local trains, and as soon as possible trunk line trains will be hauled into and out of the Grand Central station by less dangerous methods. "An extra force of experts has been i added to the large force of electricians the tunnel since Wednesdays accident, trying to devise satisfactory plans for a speedy change"
 That an engine driver when running through the Central tunnel ill which Wednesdays terrible accident occur red might easily find it impossible to see the danger signals because of steam and smoke from passing locomo- | tives was demonstrated yesterday, when a trip of inspection was made from the Grand Central station to the l North White Plains roundhouse by members of the state railroad commiS- sion, Assistant District Attorney Gar van and several railroad officials More than this, it was demonstrated that the signal apparatus itself is not infallible, for six attempts were made l to explode the torpedo which is auto matically put on the track when the tunnel signals are at danger, aud each attempt failed.
 This failure was found to be due tc the fact that the torpedo machine was out of order.

FOREIGNERS THANKED.
Empress Dowager Expresses Graft

Empress Dowager Expresses Grati-
 tude to Ministers For Cnre.
 PEKING, Jan. 1.-The dowager em- press yesterday followed up her friend ly advances by verbal messages to sev- eral of the ministers, thanking them for the care they had taken of the pal aces and expressing pleasure at the re- ception accorded by the foreigners on the occasion of their majesties' re-en- try into Peking.
 The report of the arrest of General Tung Fun Slang, whose decapitation has been ordered by the dowager em- press, is incorrect. The Tartar general who is governor of INanSu was afraid to execute the orders he received ow- ing to Tung Fun Siang's influence among the MohammedanS, who domi- nate the province.
 The governor fears that the arrest of Tung Fun Slang would incite the Mo- hammedanS to rebellion.
 The French minister, NJ. Beau, refus- ed to present his credentials until Chi na fultills certain demands of the French government.
 The joint audience of the foreign and new Chinese ministers which had been arranged has been postponed because of M Beau's action. His colleagues are discussing whether to support him.
 A repetition of the Turkish incident is considered possible.

 Foretold by Sorceress.
 LOUISVILLE, Ky Jan. 11.-Three of the most prominent young men in Louisville society have met violent deaths within six months, and in each instance the circumstances had been foretold by Lou Monahan, blind for tune teller

 Austin Kent, the second, went to St. Louis for the holidays and while out with an automobile party was struck by train and killed.

While cleaning his gun last week the weapon was discharged, and a load of shot entered his heart
 It was not until yesterday that the name of the sorceress was learned. Her story is confirmed by the friends who went with Young, Kent and God dard when they consulted her.
