Some OF the greatest athletes in the
world are entered in the big games of the
New York Irish Athletic association,
which will be held at Madison Square
Garden next Saturday evening. More
than five hundred men are down to start
in the various events. The event on the
programme is the four-mile relay race for
the indoor championship. The race is the
result of a challenge issued by four crack
long distance runners of Philadelphia.
The "deti" of these men was aimed princi-
pally at the New York Athletic club, and
that organization promptly picked up the
gauntlet thrown down. Arthur L. New
ton is captain of the four runners who will
carry the New York club emblem. The
average time OF these four runners for the
mile is minutes and "a seconds. This is
less than fifteen seconds behind the
worlds record for the individual mile.
This will give an idea of the speed to
which the runners from Philadelphia will
have to attain to defeat the New Workers.

To Stop Land Steals.

Secretary Hitchcock has issued orders
directing Commissioner Hermann of
the general land Office to suspend action
on all entries now before his Office or
that may hereafter come before it from
the states of Washington, Oregon and
California. The secretary of the inter.
ior department proposes to have vigor-
GUS measures measures taken to stop
fraud in land entries and to prosecute
those that have been engaged in pro-
curing government lands through fraud-
ulent means. He has directed the COM
missioner to have his most trustworthy
special agents investigate all entries
made or pending under the stone and
timber act. Entries under the act will
be received and proof may be submitted
but when such cases reach the general
land office they will be suspended in
compliance with the secretary's order.

and agitated. He sat opposite mirror,
and discovered that he had forgotten to
comb his hair, then he dropped his fork
on the floor and as he stopped to pick it
up he upset his coffee. Matters went
from bad to worse until finally in des-
pair the young man quit eating and put
his hands under the table. The loose
end of the table cloth was lying in his
lap, and when he touched it he turned
pale. He thought it was his shirt, and
in his nervous excitement had forgotten
to put the garment inside his trousers.
That accounted for the smiles and his
embarrassment. There was no time to
lose. He hurriedly stuffed the supposed
shirt inside his trousers. Two minutes
later, when the family arose, there was
crash. The dishes lay in broken
mass on the floor; the young man pulled
two feet of table-cloth out of his trous-
ers and fled through the door. He is
yet in the woods back of his home near
Damascus. The young lady he called
