she Kissed the wrong Nan.

Mrs. Sarah Plunket, of Concordia,
Kan, is on her way to her old home in
Ohio, happy in the thought that she
kissed her husband before leaving
home. She has not yet learned that
instead she kissed stranger. On the
way to the train, Mrs. Plunket stopped
at her husbands store, and was told
he was at the barber shop. She had
only minute and she rushed into the
shop, bent over a man whose face was
covered with 1ather, kissed him in the
mouth, and charged him to write every
day. Her husband was in the next
chair, and the astonished man she
kissed never saw her before, but she
boarded her train without knowing
the difference. When the shaving was
over the man who was kissed and the
husband shook hands.

WITH THE WHEELMEN.

savannah. Ga, Nov 21.-Joe Nelson
of Newark. n. J., rode ten miles at the
fair grounds track yesterday on Dl-
cycle against ten horses running III re-
Law. Nelson was motor paced. Inc
horses were to relieve each other IN
laps of one mile but owing to a mis-
understanding they were started TO
pick up Nelson instead. The bicycle
rider thus lost with each horse what
ever advantage he had gained over the
preceding one. Nelson, nevertheless,
finished first in eight of the ten mines.
The horse came in ahead in the first
and ninth miles. Nelson's time for
the miles consecutively was as follows:
1852, 1:40, 1:2S, 1:26, 1:20, 1:35, 1:3O,
1:3O, 1:24 and 1 80.
Bobby Wa1thour will take part in the
six-day bicycle race. As the last stroke
of a bell rings in new day on the
night of December 8 and the crack of
a pistol loses itself in the great vaulted
dome of Madison Square Garden, the
little southerner will be found flying
along in the first fight of the greatest
field of long distance racers that ever
pedaled around a track. Walthour in
jured himself short time ago in a
spill, and it was thought that he would
not be able to ride in the race. but
word was received from him yesterday
that he would ride and that Nat But
Ter will be his partner There is not q
more popular pace follower in the bust
ness than Wa1thour, and Butler can
come near holding his own with any
of the sprinters. The rider who slips
by him has got to do some tall hustling.
While the race itself will be the great
est ever decided, the management has
some side attractions which will fur
nish entertainment well worth the en-
trance fee. Dan Canary. the trick
rider. has been engaged to do his won
derful act each night. 1t is a thriller
After doing a 1oop-the-1oop act clear

which Glass IS said to have played to-

Orange Athletic club. Speaking of the
matter, McElligott says: II never gave
an affidavit to the effect that Ned
Glass received money for playing foot
ball and the man who says so tells an
untruth Furthermore am willing to
make affidavit that Glass did mot play
with the so-calIed Orange Athletic club
when the latter played in Ogdensburg
on Thanksgiving day in 1898 and 1899"
1t is stated even If Glass received
money for playing, not man in SYRIA

him play in the game against Harvard.
Sa1e Students Do Up Ticket Sharps.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 21.-A
I demonstration the like of which has
/ never been witnessed in this city before
/ occurred last night when Yale students
! made an attack on every ticket specu-
/ lator who could be found in the city
and relieved them of every ticket for
1 the Yale Harvard football game in
] their possession. The spectators were
! given the regulation price, So, for ev-
| cry ticket taken. In several instances
+; when the ticket dealers demonstrated
| they were roughly handled. Some of
the spectators claim that they were
robbed, but it is believed that the stu
! dents were very careful to see that So
was given for every ticket taken. The
exorbitant prices demanded by specu-
! lators for tickets in their possession
has aroused the student body, and they
decided to take the matter into their
own hands.

FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS.
Bobby Dobbs Gets Good Thrashing
In England.

In England.
New Britain, Nov 21.-There were
four boxing bouts before the National
Athletic club last night at the Casino.
The men who took part were more
amateurs than professionals and as
whole gave a better exhibition than
many professionals. The star bout
was for fifteen rounds at 125 pounds
between Jerry Maher of Hartford and
Kid Gleason of New Britain. 1t was
declared a draw. This was one Of the
best bouts ever put on at the Casino
when the experience of the men is con-
sidered. Gleason proved himself a
wonder as an amateur. The first pre-
nminary was between Mark LeWiett
of Hartford and Herbert Barnes of
New Britain. It went five rounds and
LeWJett won on points. The second
was between Walter Vennert of South
Manchester and Joe Dunn of Hartford.
This was stopped in the third with no
decision. The third preliminary was
between Jimmy Madden and Spike
Smith. both of Hartford. The latter
Won in two and half minutes of the
first round. Kid Curtin of Hartford
was to have boxed Vennert, but re-
fused to go on without being paid in
advance. His contract was to get the
money after the match 1t became
necessary to put him out of the hall
during the evening because he tried
to use his fists on some Of the audi
ence.
London, Nov 21-At the National
Athletic club at Marylebone last night
the American pugi1ist. Bobby Dobbs,
met the London boxer Jem Maloney,
for purse Of 81 100 and the 13S-pound
championship. Dobbs, who was the
favorite, had the better of the opening
rounds, but in the fifth round Ma1oney
equalized matters. and from that time
out had the contest in his own hands,
much to the surprise of his opponent,
who at times fought very wild and in
dulged in holding tactics. Dobbs man.
aged to stay the fully twenty rounds.
but the result was an easy victory for
Maloney on points.
Peter. Maher will try his luck in Chi
cagO. Either Jack Root, Marvin Hart
or some other man Of good calibre will
be pitted against the Irishman.
Tommy Ryan announces from his
home in Kansas City that Jack Root
has agreed to meet him in ten round
bout at Kansas City on December Is,
the men to weigh 1872 pounds at 8
o'clock in the afternoon.
The injury to Art Simms throws
Tim Kearns out of job. That bout
for tonight has been cancelled by the
authorities Of Apollo hall, Chicago. and
one between George Munroe and Billy
Rotchford will be substituted.
That was rather tough deal they
handed out to Joe Cans in Baltimore.
Not to allow his to fight white man
cuts him out of the game. The ex-
cuse for the action taken is that the
colored folk of Baltimore have become
SO "chesty'' over the victories Of Cans
that there is no standing them. 1t

THE FRIEND OF LABoRERS.

While the bill was under discussion
in the senate in February last to
amend "an act to promote the safety
of employees and travellers upon rail
engaged in Interstate commerce to
equip their cars with automatic cou-
piers and continuous brakes, and for
other purposes some reference was
made to Mr.. II. r. Fuller, legal repre-
sentative at Washington of the va
rious railway employees of the country
some of the senators discrediting Mr..
Fuller, and expressing the opinion that
he had no right to speak for the rail
way labor organizations. Senator
Jones defended Mr.. Fuller. who had
addressed letter to the senate ask
ing the adoption of the amendment in
the interest of railway employees, and
in response to AN interrogatory from
Senator Wellington, of Maryland, and
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts. said:
Il know that Mi Fuller has repre-
scented these labor organizations here
for years. | know that he has present
ed the arguments in favor of legisla-
ton that these organizations have
been Interested in He has conducted
himself like a gentleman, and seems
to me TO be clear-headed, strong
man. He is himself a practical rail
road man; he has been workman on
the railroads, and is connected with
them, and is familiar with their af
fairs lie is man of intelligence and
integrity and the suggestion from the
senator from Maryland that there is
any doubt about his representing the
people he claims to represent | think
is entitled to no consideration and is
unwarranted and not sustained"
Mr.. Wellington again insisted that
Mr.. Fuller did not represented the
railway employees, and said that the
petition in favor of the amendment
should come from the official heads of
the various railway organizations, 10
wl,icu Senator Jones replied:
Mr.. President. these labor orSani-
cations do not stay all the time in
Washington. The men constituting
these organizations have something
else to do. They earn their bread by
the sweat of their faces all the days
of their lives, and they are busy at
something else besides being here. But

when they have an intelligent repre-
sentative, a man who stays here to
represent their interests, and who re-
ports to them. | think he has a right
to speak for them. and the senate has
a right to listen to what he says
In response to a remark from Sena-
tor Cullom, Senator Jones said:
Il have known Mr.. Fuller for some
years. He has borne himself like
gentleman, and has conducted himself
like man of sense and ability. He
has rendered valuable services, to my
certain knowledge. to the organiza-
tons he represents here, and | think
he is entitled to the consideration and
respect of every member of this body
as we'll as of the people outside. The
argument presented by him that the
new department of commerce is more
likely to have at its head man in
sympathy with the employers of labor
than of labor itself seems to me to be
a strong reason why the department
of labor should be allowed to remain
as it has been all the time, and, with
these organizations, 7 see no reason
why it should be subordinated to any
other. do not believe that there is
any good reason for the head of the
bureau being put in any other depart
ment. He can go ahead and do his
work as he has done it in the past,
and that is the best way. in my opin=
ion, to benefit labor of all kinds or
ganized as we'll as unorganiZed,
throughout the country.
A few days ago the Graphic printed
letter from +. p. Sargent. grand mas
ter of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen, to Mr. ]. A. Frazier, of Pine
Bluff. in which it was shown that Mr..
Fuller is the legal representative of
the organizations of railway employees,
and has full power to act for them,
and the article written by Mr.. Fuller
and printed in the Locomotive Fire
mems Magazine, and reprinted in the
Graphic, shows that there is no great
er friend of labor in congress than
Senator Jones. In fact he has proved
himself to be the champion of labor
on the floor of the senate whenever
occasion presents itself.
