Havana Getting Filthy.

WASHINGTON Dec. 2.-Unsatisfac-
tory reports haS- come to the state de-
partment in regard to the sanitary con-
dition in Havana. General Woods re-
ports for 1899 and 1900 show that the
Cuban city was exceedingly healthy as
a result of the American methods of
sanitation enforced. The state depart
ment is advised that a relaxation of
this system is taking place gradually,
but surely. The sanitary inspectors
are said to be more lenient, and there
are numerous violations of sanitary

Talk Of Some Crack New Players for
New York

Talk of Some Crack New Players for
New York.
Washington, Dec 2.-Secretary Young
of the National league yesterday an
nounced that the annual meeting Of
the National league and American As
sociation of Professional Base Ball
Clubs will be held in New York on De
cember 8.
w. G. Temple of Pittsburg is the
most prominent candidate for the pres
idency of the National league, in case
the executive committee is abolished
at the coming meeting.
Periodically there comes a report
that Ed Delehanty, the hard-hitting
outfielder is to join the New York
baseball team. It comes to life and
then fades away into nothingness.
Just now it is working again. The
latest is that the Washington player
has succumbed to McGraw's persuas-
i've influence and signed New York
contract calling for seasons salary
Of $4,000. Secretary Knowles of the
New York club, said yesterday that he
knew nothing about the matter. When
Delehanty was at Morris park after
the the close of the 1902 playing sea-
son he declared positively that he
would play in Washington again next
year. Colonel Rogers of Philadelphia
was Delehanty's employer when 'DeP
was in the National league and wheth-
er he would remain passive while an
other National league club signed the
player remains to be seen. Two
Washington pitchers, Ortiz and Town
send. also have signed with New York,
according to the report, the former for
5000 and the latter for $4,000 sal
airy.
Charles Ebbets of the Brooklyn
Baseball club is trying to convince
himself among others that Willie Kee-
Ter will stick to the Brooklyns next
season. Ebbets has been playing the
runners at Bennings and on his re-
turn to Brooklyn delivered himself of
the following more or less cogent ar
guments anent Keller: 1--WE have a
two-year contract with Keller for
last season and next, but aside from
that have faith in Keeler's word. He
lives here and told HanlOn he would
give him first chance when it came to
doing business. We are confident he
will stay here" Asked If the Brook
lyn club would go to law in case
Keller went to the American league,
Ebbets is quoted as replying: We are
not crossing bridges before they are
burned" He did not explain what he
meant by not crossing bridges before
they were burned, but it was suspect
ed he meant either waiting until they
are burned before crossing them or
not crossing them before coming to
them. Ebbets says Pitcher Bill Don
ovan will be- with the Brooklyns next
year, having signed contract at an
increased salary and will return any
advance money accepted from the
American league. According to Eb.
bets the Brooklyn club got only two
or three American league players, but
added $4,000 or $4,000 to the Amer.
lean league expenses for next year. II
the American continues to furnish the
public with exciting races and there
| is a repetition of last years tame Ma
tional league affair, busily clicking
turnsti1es doubtless will enable the
American to survive the blow. Swell

Bristol, r. l., Dec 2.-Now that the
construction Of the new cup defender
| has fairly begun, the lead keel hav-
| ing been cast successfully, it is pos
sible to give in q general way few
!. of the principal features of this new
aspirant for Amef1ca's cup honors.
To all outward appearances the new
] boat will not differ in a very great de-
| gree from any Of the ninety -footers
turned out by the Herreshoffs in the
last tend years. They will have the
same spoon bow, the same long over
! hang aft and the same modified fin
keel. 1t appears, however, chat she
will be slightly broader than on1 I'll
ton, which had a beam of twenty
| five feet two and a half inches. Her
| keel will also be longer and heavier
than Mr. Belmont's boat, but ut the
same time she will not draw so much
water by some inches. This increase
! I'm weight will enable her to carry a
| larger sail spread-something IN the
neighborhood OF $4,000 square feet
which is the largest amount of canvas
ever swung a1oft by a single-sticker
The rsethods Of construction adopt
ed with Columbia and Constitution
will rh followed in the new boat. The
4 keel plates will be Hanged and webbet
in three sections and much of tht
bracing will be the same.
i Workmen yesterday removed thu
Il rest Of the timbers and clay about thu
lead keel, and to-day the work Of
smoothing the outer part of the leaG
in preparation for the fitting of thu
plates will be commenced. The after
end of the lead keel looks to be some
two feet lower than the forward end

THE SPORTING NEWS OF THE WORLD

which surprised the spectators at the
Washington Sporting club last night.
There were stages of the bout When
it appeared that Jones was all IN ana
there were moments when it appeared
that McGoyern would surely succumD.
Jones had a shade the worst OF the
weights, scaling about five pounds less
than McGovern. This difference told
in McGovern's favor in the clinches,
in which he got in his best work. Any
thing worse than a draw would have
been an injustice to either boy. The
semi-wind-up between Phil Logan and
Young Mississippi was also corkef.
Logan made the better showing and
had a shade the better of the first
three rounds. In the fourth round
Logan was compelled to take the count
as the result of a right-hand swing on
the Jaw, and the rest of the bout was
in favor of Mississippi.
Chicago, Dec Benny Yanger and
Dave Sullivan have at last agreed on
terms and are matched to fight. They
have accepted the offer of the Ameri-
can A. G. of $4,000 and agreed to the
weight question, 40 pounds one hour
before they enter the ring. The purse
is to be split, $1.75O to the winner and
$3.50 to the loser.

HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.
It will be good news to the mother

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two
before the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by a
peculiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon
as the child becomes hoarse, or even
after the rough cough appears, and it
will dispel all symptoms of Group. In
this. way all danger and anxiety may
be avoided. This remedy is used by
many thousands of mothers and has
never been known to fail. 1t is, in
fact, the only remedy that can always
be depended upon and that is pleas
ant and safe to take. For sale by
all druggists.

his bad French Or Spanish only to be
shocked at length by some such a ques-
ton as Cant you speak English?" is
almost a. common nowadays as the
track walking tragedian. This is a lit
tie story of his experience in Spain, as
told by "The Dominic" in The Ladies'
Home Journal:
zone day we all entered a little shop
in Madrid, and the captain began to
speak in Spanish to the girl who was
behind the counter. She failed to un-
derstand, and so he tried again. Once

moned up his whole vocabulary. At
last in his attempt to make his mean

laughter and in perfect English said.

Ivory Carving.

The ivory carvers of this country do
little or nothing in the East Indian OF

themselves with figure work. Their
chief employment is in producing deco

The carvers Of ivory use much the
same tools as the wood carvers, but Of
lighter and more delicate make.
The work is extremely tedious and
laborious. The carving is usually done
in low relief, and the subjects are such

sian designs in delicate curves, the cac-
tus, with some varieties OF. palms, and
hints caught from those ~marvelously
simple but artistic carvings of the

slightly so as to bring out the design
and is permitted to absorb moisture,
which it readily does, in order to give
it that fresh look common in newly
manufactured articles of ivory. The
art of staining ivory is a secret guard.

Some idea of the cost of ivory cary.

while a hand mirror framed in plain
ivory may be had for $40 or $12, a mir.
