night.
Another bout has been arranged
for Monday night. Billy Armstrong
and Vaughn, both clever men with
the gloves, will go on as a prelimi-
nary to the ries-Fitzsimmons
turn. Armstrong has a good repu-
tation as a boxer, but is better
known as a physical director. He
has made arrangements with Sam
G. Mott, who is now in the city, to
accompany the big fellows. Elsey,
who will box six rounds with Fitz-

gregation when it leaves,here.

indoors and was under the direction
of Coach Allen, who is recognized
as one of the best football directors
on the coast.
According to a statement made
by Will Holden, the Walla Walla
team objects to certain players on
the High school eleven, claiming
that they are not members of the
High school and are well-known
professional players.
The objection is made chiefly
against Hart and Peterson, but it
appears that they have been attend

MANY SPIES OF THE SULTAN.


Turkey Growing Demoralized Under
the Present Vicious System.
In no country and at no time of the
worlds history has the spy system been
developed to the point it has attained in
Turkey to-day. 1t is most elaborate
organization and costs an immense
amount of money. There are spies and
counter-spies, and counter-counter-
spies to the fourth or fifth degree.
Their number is legion. and they are
to be found in all classes of society,
from the highest to the lowest. Be
sides the minister of police, almost ev-
cry high dignitary has his own service
of spies, says the London Chronicle.
These are all rival organizations. and
spend most of their time in spying and
denouncing each other. All prominent
persons are closely watched, and fol-
lowed even while shopping, and should
they meet another person of note and
exchange a few words. the fact is care
fully noted. Turks no longer dare as
semble in parties of five or six for the
purpose OF spending their evenings to-
gether. 1t is impossible for three or
four of them TO sit down at a table in
a coffee house without having a spy at
the next. On such occasions they al.
ways speak very loud, so that every.
body may hear them. Should a Euro.
pean converse with a Turk in the
street, spy will follow them and try
to find out what they are saying.
The result of all this is that the
Turks avoid one another's company as
much as possible, and whenever they
do come together the conversation is
on the most futile subjects, and quite
childish. The Turkish nation is grow.
ing more and more demoralized under
the present system.

HER IIITH BIRTHDAY.
Aged Brooklyn CoIored Woman Who
Saw Washington.


Sitting in a rocking chair, putting at
an old clay pipe, Mary Ann Van Dyke,
familiarly known as "Aunty" Van
Dyke, of Brooklyn, recently celebrated
her 111th birthday. Friends, white and
black, visited the venerable old woman
and extended their congratulations at
her home, 1881 Atlantic avenue,
Brooklyn.
She is enjoying excellent health, and
was delighted at the thought that she
was entering on another year. She told
life to the kindness of her good old
master, Isaac Cortelyou. on whose
farm she was born and reared in the
old village of New Utrecht, near the
site of Fort Hamilton.
When n child, "Aunty" says she saw
General Washington ride up to Master
Cortelyou's house, in New Utrecht, on
a line gray horse. General Washing
ton she said, dined with her master.
She described him as handsome man.
of dignified and courtly bearing.
Since 1879 she has lived with Mrs.
Sarah Brown, at her present home, and
her declinisg years have been made as
comfortable as possible. She is still
able to walk about, but is somewhat
feeble, and the sight of her left eye is
impaired. She tottered downstairs the
other afternoon, says the New YORK
Herald, to pose for her picture at the
front door of her home, and several
times insisted that her position be
changed, so she could be photographed
at her best. OF the few presents re-
ceived, "Aunty" was pleased most by a
pouch of good tobacco.

The appropriateness of Indian corn

think that the country should nave a

may wear posy in mis- bonnet and at

Sans Choice of Brides.

Former Lieutenant Governor John C.

at the Canadian Society dinner at the
Arkwright Club Tuesday night about a
negro in his employ who was married
four or five times, every time receiving

sixth time the servant appeared Mr..

whom Sam had been paying attention.

Colonel Underwood replied that he

Instead of buying outright the acres

fought. the government is adopting the
policy of arranging with the landowners.

things exactly as they were on the day

woods are TO cover the same area, the
plowed lands, orchards and fields TO cor

This preserves the naturalness of the

pleasure, cannot be preserved against
the changes of time and the so-called
