BIG ATHLETES FOR FORCE.
Weight-Throwers Flanagan and Nc
Grath Will Be Policemen.

New York, Dec. 31.-John Flanagan
and Matthew ]. McGrath, the we'll
known amateur athletes, will receive
their appointments as probationary
policemen from Commissioner Par
fridge tomorrow. Flanagan is the
champion hammer thrower of the world
and holds the worlds record for put
ting the 56-pound shot. McGrath is his
pupil and rival
The two men hail from the same
parish in Ireland and have been close
friends all their life. They came to
this country about the same time, and
year ago both decided to apply for
appointments to the police force. Ex-
aminations for the establishment of an
eligible list were begun about that time
and lasted for months. OF $1,000 can
didates only 1,200 passed the physical
examinations. Flanagan was No. 1 on
the list of successful candidates and
McGra+h No. 2.
You two fellows are the two finest
specimens of physical manhood 1 ever
examined President Stephen G.. Cook
of the board of police surgeons told
them at the end of the tests.
In the mental examinations McGrath
stood No. IS and Flanagan No. "a

KILLED THE WHOLE COvEY.
Feat of a Virginia Gunner Who Had
Only Two Cartridges Left

Burkevi1le, Va, Dec. 31.-To kill six
quail, the total number in the covey, at
one rise, with a 30-inch double -barreled
shotgun, is a performance that for this
part of the country is likely to stand as
a record for some time to come. 1t was
done in the presence of two witnesses
the other day by R. NJ. Taylor of Amelia
county.
With two friends and three pointers,
one of them an inexperienced puppy,
Taylor had been hunting quail since
daybrea1- and it was not until after
sundown and with only. two shells left
in the outfit thabsthe remarkable shot
was made The men were returning to
the village with their game bags COM
fortably we'll filled when one of the
older dogs stood a flock of birds that
had covered for the night in a small
clump of dense pine scrubs standing on
slight eminence in the middle of a big
field of broom grass.
AS Taylor had the two remaining
shells the. chance fell to him, and he
had approached to within 80 yards OF
the outer edge of the pines when the
puppy broke his stand. and running over
his field partners point flushed the
birds. The covey came up out of the
clump in a compact ball like a toy
balloon.

point blank into the mass. Every quail
but one Cell and this one was grassed
at distance of so yards with the left
barrel. The entire family was annihi-
lated in less than two seconds.
The shells were loaded with three
drains of dense powder and an ounce
and a quarter of No. 8 shot. The right
barrel of the gun was a plain cylinder
and the left full choke.

TEMPORARY HOSPITAL.
Santa Fe Patients at Albuquerque
Kept in Tents.

Albuquerque, N. NJ. Dec 31.-The tenn
porary hospital which has been built by
Dr. ]. B. Cutter to take the place of the
burned building on South Broadway is
now complete and in operation and every
patient who comes along is cared for Just
as if the big blaze had never been. Five
strong tents, on raised board floors, have
been built and each one is heated by
small stove and has room for three pa
tients. while the old laundry has been
cleaned, put in ship-shape, and made warm
cases. DR.. Cutter has turned his own
cozy rooms into an office dispensary and
Oprating room. and the dining room and
kitchen of the old building have been put
in shape for use. So. for the present the
local hospital can care for all patients and
care for them we'll. But everyone recog-
nlZeS the need for new hospital at once
and doubts are expressed among the
railroad men that the hospital association
will order the building at an early date.

IN THE DARK.
Local Freight Officials Know Little
About the Biddle Rumors.

I'VE are just as curious to know
what changes will be made in this de-
know any more than has been publish
ed in the newspapers said a Santa
Fe freight official today.
There is apparently as deep a mys-
terry as ever surrounding the rumor of
sweeping changes in the department.
The only thing that is admitted by the
freight officials here is that there is
something doing and that changes
may be made at any time.
The real center of the plot is in Chi
cago, and unless present indications
are deceitful, there will be some inn
Dortant announcements soon from the
office of the vice president.
The rumor is now that Freight Traf-
the offer of an important position with
the Rock Island. All of the rumors
center around Mr.. Biddle, for it is be-
lieyed that his retirement from the
Santa Fe is imminent. The changes
which will result from this move are
what interest Topeka officials. Nj.
Biddle is said to have received f1atter-
ing offers from the New York Central
company, in addition to the one from
the Rock Island 1t is said that there
have been several conferences of late
be tween Mr.. Biddle and Chas. H. War
rem assistant to President Leeds of the
Rock Island.
The Kansas City Journal is authority
for the statement that a slate" has
been made up to be announced in case
Mr.. Bfddle retires. The Journal says:
According to the slate J. A. Gorman.
the present general freight agent, is to
become freight traffic manager, and }
w. Tedford. the assistant general
freight agent, is to move up peg L.
A. Manter, the general agent at Chicago,
who was formerly in Kansas City, IS
slated for Mr. Tedfords position, and
Douglass Dallam. the present agent
mere. IS mentioned as a successor to
Mantef in Chicago. Fred Maegly, the
A. G. F. A. at Topeka, has come here.
while c. w. Cook will move UP to the
position of assistant general freight
agent. If these transfers should all BE-
made as named they would create a
mild sensation in railroad circles

slate Yesterday, and refused to ex-

INTO CLOUD LAND.
Soon Skyscrapers Thirty Stories High
Will Be Second-Rate.

New York, Dec. 31.-Twenty years ago
the Fifth Avenue hotel, now q baby in
the shadow of the giant F1atiron across
the street, was the tallest building in
it's surrounding neighborhood, and the
We1les building. just behind the new
Produce exchange, was the nearest ap-
proach to a slxyscraper down town. The
spires of Trinity and St. Pauls
churches, now lost in the mass of steel
towers veneered with stone, dominated
the skyline OF Manhattan Island, as
seen from the North River.
Old New York city. since by reason
of its peculiar limitations it cannot
spread out, has grown upward and
downward. Business is carried on at
assorted attitudes away up above the
church spires or in cellars burrowed fan
below the surface. No city IN the world
has ever grown under such conditions
before.
There is no limit to it. There are sew,
eral twenty-eight and twenty-nine story
buildings now, but architects and en-
gineers agree that there is no reason
why there should not be buildings
thirty nine stories, or more. The steel
skeleton method of building and the
caisson plan for laying foundations
have disposed of the difficulties of con-
struction.
