A high official OF New York State, Re-
publican OF course, was recently defending
Governor OpEILs policy toward the State
charities. Being asked for his reasons,
he replied with the same arguments after
ward used by the Governor in the memo
randum filed at the time Of signing the new
Lunacy law.
A these arguments were shown after
ward by the State Charities Aid Association
to be practically without foundation. we
must conclude that the New York Republican
politicians have been misled in the matter
We warn them that misleading the Empire
State public is a very different propo-
sition.

FREDERICK d. TAPPEN. who died on FRI

Of conservative habits OF thought and
action, OF dignifed. yet friendly. speech
and presence OF an old New York family
no one ever typifed with greater complete
ness than he the New York business man
at his best; and pride in his city and knowl-
edge Of its local history were among Mr..
TAPPRS's most notable characteristics,
In a loftier way he represented the un-
assuming force which. TO the supreme
credit OF New York be il said, has always
arisen in our financial history in times Of
danger and stretched out its hands effec-
lively and wisely. II is for service in this
regard that Mr.. TAPPES's name will be
best remembered, but his friends will ever
cherish his democratic ways, his winning
manners and his kindly heart. A true
gentleman. an hon est man and useful
and public-spirited citizen is gone.

A very unusual case Is before the Mill
tary Committee Of the Senate. Major
ROBERT l.. BULLARD. Commssary. U. S.
A.. arranged a transfer to the infantry
with Major FRANK +. EASTMAN, Twenty
Eighth Infantry. who wished staff duty
The Secretary Of War approved their sp-
plication, and they were nominated by
the President as Major OF Infantry and
Major and Commissary. The Senate has
not confirmed the nominations yet. how
ever, owing to objections raised by Off
GERS who will be ranked by Major Bull
LARD should he return to the line. Major
BULLABD, who graduated in 1885, was
Lieutenant in the Tenth Infantry when on
June 70. 1898. he was transferred TO the
Subsistence Department with the rank Of
Captain. On April /, 1901. he was promoted
Major on the increase Of the army. From
May. 1898, until July last. except for a few
weeks, he served In the Volunteers. as
Major and Colonel Of an Alabama regi-
ment, and as Colonel Of the Thirty-Ninth
Volunteers; 30 his actual staff service has
been only since last July.
The complaint made by the line officers
Is based on the fact that Major BILLIARDS
promotion In the staff has been 50 much
more rapid than that Of the line. that il
he returns as Major he will stand about one
hundred and seventy numbers higher than
II he had stayed In the infantry. On this
point Secretary Roof wrote TO the chair
man Of the Senate committee:
Major BuLLARpl Is now rishtfully Major and
Commisssry. and the transfer which he asks should
be allowed nu will be benent to the service The
question what rank h. held In the line before he
reached his present position does not enter into
consideration at ALL After careful consideration
adhere to this position and hope that early favor
able action be given to these nominations
II Ia certainly hard on the officers whom
Major BULLAHD will jump; but he has at
tanned higher rank than theirs already, 80
that the transfer is not for the purpose
of ranking them. Such a transfer, how
ever lis open to the suggestion that an Off
Ger seeks a staf appointment in order to
return with higher rank to the line. This
suggestion is specifically dissvowed in
this case.

Mrs. Howell is visiting her brother. win
Vaughn, and every day she takes him out
to the Field club and beats him to death
at tennis, while the others watch her game
with awe. Mrs. Howell certainly plays
fast tennis. Down at Lincoln there Is
Miss Louise Pound. who has been runner
up in women's championships In west and
east for many years. She is a swift player
and a terrible FOUNDER and can beat almost
all the men in Lincoln.
The idea is to bring Miss Pound 70
Omaha during tournament week and have
her play a match with Mr-. Howell. Then
after that IKE" Raymond and Mrs. Howell
will play G. H. Young and Mrs. Howell
mixed doubles. This will undoubtedly
prove a great feature and will bring out
large galleries, az the two women are
easily among the very best in the land.
Ike" Raymond of Lincoln has been In
Omaha during the last week and has
been playing at the Field club. HIS
whirlwind style has attracted much atten-
tion and other players watch him with
something more than anticipation. Sum
day he goes to Sioux City with the
omahans who will attend that tourna-
ment. 1t seems now that H. Dooriy. Je.

Estimated on a basis of s7.5 cents (which
~eontemplates one-half of the attendance
going into the grand stand), It means that
the average income per game has been

which means ss1s.5o each. II the salary
lists average $3.50 a day or $4,000 per month
which is high-the management Of each
team has left st63.5O a day to pay running

road fare, Tome salaries and the like, will
cut something Of a hole in this, but a fair
margin OF profit will be left in the end.

TOURNEY PROSPECTS

cess Of the Interstate Tennis tournament
TO be held at the Omaha Field club. COM
mencing August is. Is already an assured
thins and the managers Of the AFFAIR are
highly elated over this early earnest OF a
prosperous and strong event. Thirty en-
tries makes a very large contest for any
place IN che country. In fact. the eastern
tournaments seldom run as high. Many
such events are pulled OF with no more
than a dozen participants. And. then. Il IN
now practically certain that the entry list
will be much larger by the end Of this week.
In that event this tournament will break
all western records for entry lists in such
an affair.
Men assisting in the handling Of thls
event, who have had charge OF previous
Journeys, are astonished at this early
swelling Of the entries. 1t is we'll known
to them that the last week before closing
time usually brings in the great bulk Of
the names, and in fact It has been the ex-
perience in connection with previous tennis
contests here that almost no entries ever
arrive till during the last few days. But
the coming tournament Is already a big
AFFAIR. while the entries do not close till
8 o'clock on the evening Of Saturday next,
August 10. Outsiders who have already
scheduled themselves for play are from all
points Of the compass. W. G.. Parker of
