STARS GOOD ADVICE az
- ~ FOR HOCKEY PLAYERS


Capt. Harry Trihey, of the crack Sham
rock team of New York, in a recent in
terview gave some very good advice
to young hockey players and explained
many points of the game Speaking Of
the game IN general, Trihey said:
Hockey players cannot pay too much
attention to shooting and checking. They
should embrace ali the opportunities they
can get to play actual matches, and
even IT the games are a little rough it
VIII not do them any harm. In getting
against one another as much as posi-
bic. Good and systematic training is a
necessity. 1t is in the last few minutes
of match that the training tells One
of the best object lessons of this can
be found in the result of the Sham
rocks matches for the Stanley cup. Our
opponents were the better trained; hence
they were enabled to win out at the last
few minutes of the decisive struggle for
the cup.
Undoubtedly the most important quail

team Will never amount to much unless
they are good shots. Every one of the
forwards should be exceptionally good
at this, if for nothing else than not to
allow the opposing team to realize that
cone by one man, because then a little
persistent attention paid by them to that
mar would nullify all the possibility of
scoring. To be a first-class forward a
mar should be able 70 shoot both sides
and from any position. To my mind the
most dangerous shot is a swift drive
about ankle high. Judging from my own
experience, that is about the hardest
snot to stop. A shot that necessitates
too much angle from the side is not

A. o. U. w. CONVENTION WILL MEET
IN SHADOW OF OLOF OIL
SONS DEATH
SOCIAL FEATURES CUT OUT
Matter OF New Constitution to BE
Taken Up-Six Hundred Dele
gates Expected-De-
gree of Honor.

The annual meeting Of the Grand Lodge
of Minnesota, A. o. U. W., will be held
in Sherman hall, Feb. Is, 10 and 20. 1t
is expected that SEQ delegates, represent
ing nearly 1900 members, will be pres
ent at the convention. Arrangements for
the meeting are being rapidly completed,
Just what will be done in a social way
has not yet been decided Fhe recent
death of the grand recorder, Olof Oh
son, who was buried Monday, will prob
ably be the cause of doing away with
a number OF social features which
would otherwise have been arranged.
Mr.. Olson in his official position had
a greater part of the arrangements for
the meeting in his hands, and since his
death nothing has been done towards
completing them. The executive commit
tee will hold a meeting early this week,
and will at that time take such further
plans as are necessary.
Several matters are booked to come be-
fore this session of the grand lodge, the
most important of which is the consider
alton of the constitution proposed at
the last meeting in Minneapolis last
winter. For some time it has been felt
that the present constitution was unsat-
isfactory, as 1t had been drafted in haste.
A committee was appointed at the last
meeting in st. Paul two years ago to
draft a new constitution which was to
be submitted at the next session. The
committee reported last winter, but the
matter was allowed to go over until this
meeting. Grand lodge officers express
themselves as being in favor of adopting
the proposed constitution, and it will
probably be done.
The headquarters of the delegates will
be at the Merchants hotel, where all
committees will hold their meetings and
where the candidates for grand lodge
offices will do their canvassing. A re-
ception viii be held at the hotel during
the session. The date of this reception
has not yet been fixed. The officers
of the grand lodge are Charles G. Kinds,
past master workman; J. NJ Diment,
master workman; Fred H White, fore
man; w. B. Anderson, overseer: e. w.
Randall, recorder; J. J. McCardy, re-
ceiver; M. G. Tiff, guide; J. F. Creamer,
inside Waterman; J. T. Sanborn, outside
Waterman; ]. H. Adair, medical exam
iner.
The Grand Lodge of Minnesota, De-
gree Of Honor, which is the woman's
auxiliary Of the A. o. U. w, will hold
its annual session in Pfeifer's hall at the
same time that the workmen are in ses-
sion. About 800 delegates are expected
to sattend this convention.
The lodge will have the sorrowful duty
of selecting a successor to the late Re
corder Olson. E. w. Randall, acting
temporarily as recorder, will probably be
chosen.

Turn the workhouse into a zoo. This
is what Superintendent of Parks Nuss-
banner would do IL the st. Paul park
board should become the possessor of that
ancient pile of dilapidated brick and iron
cages which holds forth in near proximity
to the entrance of Como park
Mr.. Nussbaumer says so with all
seriousness and he believes il will be
ultimately done if the board ever asserts
its rights to the ground on which the
building stands and also becomes the
possessor Of sufficient money to properly
maintain such an institution.
The building is nothing more than a
mere shell of brick, its safety lying more
than anything else Ia the false France
work Of steel and iron cages that fills
its interior. This interior, If desired,
could BE removed In whole or in part
and, to Mr.. NuSsbaumer's mind, would
furnish a structure that would house a
magnificent collection of wild and domes.
tic animals. 1t would supply protection
both winter and summer and would obvi-
ate the difficulty of furnishing winter
quarters as Is now the case at Mime
haha and other places where open air
cages are the feature.
Since I have been in charge Of the
parks, said Supt. Nussbaumer, 1--WE have
been offered fully twenty bears, besides
many other valuable specimens of animal
and bird life, but we have Deen COM
PEELED to refuse them all because Of the
cost Of maintenance. We haven't got the
money to do it with, even when they are
given to us for nothing. Candidly l do
not favor a zoo, but perhaps 1 am lit
tie selfish in the matter because Of the
extra work it entails. At any rate, if st.
Paul ever does get such an attraction it
will be under cover, as it would simply
be inviting the destruction Of the grounds
to scatter them as they do at Minnehaha.
Even the few deer that we have at Como
keep US busy caring for them and stop
ping people from destroying the shrub
berry in their eagerness to get a salts
factory look
In his annual report issued several
weeks ago, Mr. Nussbaumer called to the
attention of the board the necessity of
compelling the removal Of the workhouse
to some other location. The board owns
the ground and thinks it should be some
where else. In its present location it is
unsightly.
The building will never stand moving
bodily, and rather than demolish it and
use the material in a new workhouse, the
city will undoubtedly turn it over to the
board. When that time comes the idea
of turning it into a big zoo will be agi-
tated.

LEAGUE COURT SUPREME.
Physical Force Party Has Upper
Hand in Ireland

DUBLIN, Feb. 8.-The firmly rooted
belief in influential circles it that moth
ing short of a revolution is meant by
the United Irish league, and that the
advocates of constitutional methods are
slowly but surely giving way to the
strong physical force section. Lord
Salisbury's speech of Wednesday last be-
fore the Junior Constitutional club, leads
people hope that the government has
at least learned the lesson that home
rule cannot be killed with kindness and
that the ministry has become aware of
the terrible hovoc being worked by the
league throughout Ireland
1.-The American end of the campaign Is
being run by men who are all of the
same stamp as Finerty, who commends
dynamite and rifles. Young Ireland is
being taught to believe In the coming
storm and to openly speak thereof with
enthusiasm. The policy Of kindness has
convinced the peasantry that the reign
Of the British is almost at an end and
in truth, the British statute book is al
ready suspended, and the court of the
league is supreme.
