use only Chinese remedies in his practice He still
uses these Chinese remedies. and II patient goes
his Office expecting TO receive any other KIND or
treatment he will be disappointed for all the coax
ing on earth could not induce All Sam TO divert

London, with a population IN excess OF New
York by more than million souls takes less
than half much water daily as Is used IN
this metropolis. 1t must be said, however. In
justice to Londoners. that they would gladly
consume more If they could get it. Londons
water supply is furnished by private companies
as it has been for centuries. and they provide
a comparatively niggardly quantity at exces-
sively high rates which bring in huge prohts
to the shareholders in those corporations 1t is
expected that within a few years the city on
the Thames will have public supply greatly
to it's advantage. NEWCOMERS are far better
off as TO water than their London cousins

JOE WALcoTT FINED.

Boston, Jan 24.-Joe Walcott, the colored pugilist, was before the Maiden district court yesterday upon com plaint charging him with violating the city ordinances. On last Tuesday morning the o'clock electric car from Boston was taken possession of by a gang of negroes, of which Walcott was the leader. When the car was at the corner of Main and Cross streets, Mall den, it is alleged that q free fight took place. People in that vicinity were aroused by the outcries and the police allege that Walcott drew a revolver and fired several shots in the air. Sev- eral Maiden patrolmen rushed to the scene, but before they arrived the crowd dispersed. It is stated by Wal cott's friends that he was not drunk, but was showing them how we'll he could shoot with q revolver. and it is also stated that he thought the police men, hearing the shooting, would be afraid to appear on the scene. Wal cott was fined $15, which he paid.

DEATH OF sBoB' KNEEBs..
He Gained Notoriety by Ringing the
 Mare Bethel in Austria.

Robert T., better known to turfmen the world over as Bob" kneebs, died on Wednesday at Sioux City, Iowa, aged about T2. He was prominently brought before the entire trotting and sporting world few seasons ago be- cause of having been convicted of ringing the trotting mare Bethel, 2:16, on Austrian tracks, and column on column. together with pictures of Bethel, was published at the time in connection with the unfortunate esca- pade.
 Bethel had d:aigured ear, q notch having resulted from an early encoun- ter with the western barb-wire fences of her prairie birthplace, and, although it required several months of investi- gation, the mare Nellie Kneebs was finally found to have been in reality Bethe.. Kneebs was in jail for sew eral years, but his release was finally secured as he seemed in imminent dan- ger of dying, the Austrian government confiscating his mare and trappings and disposing of them at auction in Vienna. In addition, Kneebs was heavily fined. A delegation of for eigners was sent to Iowa to investi- gate matters and no end of expense was incurred, as it vEs an internation- al affair of decided importance. Kneebs was banished from all national and American association tracks, but was finally reinstaed temporarily form session to session of the Ameri- can associations governing board and allowed to drive on their tracks, but he never had the success after the re turn to his former home that crowned his earlier efforts with old Jessie Gaines, 2:151a; Ellnwood Chief, 2:1S& !; Dakota Maid, 2:25A, and his other for mer breadwinners.

BASE BALL NOTES.

Freedman said yesterday that Soden, the Boston base ball magnate, was not in New York. Those who sent the tip, however, asserted positively that Soden was there. at r6 o'clock Wednesday night and left for home at midnight. What did Soden do and what seems to be worrying him? His partner, J. B. Billings. is out with another statement to the effect that the Boston club should no longer tie to Freedman, but should join the Spalding forces with out delay Freedman is deaf to all he will stick it out. But those who Brush, Robison and Soden will not they will not and Billings ought to know.
 Napoleon Lajoie and George Davis have been pronounced the two best base ball players in America. There is little doubt about Lajole's right to such prominence for ever since he came into the National league he has had the public by the ears. Davis is undoubtedly without peer as a short stop, but he cannot be classed with Lajoie as general all around player Davis is a fine batsman and a fair base-runner, but in all respects it would not be fair to say that he ranks higher than such men as John Me Graw of Baltimore and James Collins of Boston. Davis, by the way, will be the captain of the Chicago American league team this year. His jump from the New York club was a hard blow to base ball in that city, where Davis has played regularly since 1893. When he went there from the Cleyelands he was a center fielder and was known as Sensational Davis" all over the league circuit. He was placed at third base by John Ward and promptly showed himself to be superb infield- CT, as well as standing up near the top in batting. In Davis's shoes will be placed college amateur named An derson, who has had no experience among professionals.
