Basket Rail.

The Armory was crowded with specta-
tors on Saturday night who were not doom
ed to disappointment in looking forward to
one of the best games of the season.
Although the home team was beaten it
was no fault of theirs as they played as
though their life depended on the game.
Rhinhart, Phila. man, played centre for
Co. l and won much applause from his
many admirers for his fine, clean playing.
Frankfort commenced scoring early in the
first half and rolled up a score of II to
before the half was up. In the second half
the Woodbury. five braced up and by hard
playing were rapidly overhauliny the yisi-
tors when time was declared up, the score
standing 81 to "a.
Rhinhart threw eight out Of eleven fouls.
Elm, of Camden, will play here on Sat
urday.
New burners have been affixed to the
gas jets.
One Of the benches gave way and some Of
the rooters enjoyed the pleasant sensation
of ascertaining the hardness Of the Armory
floor.
That Co. | was beaten is no fault of the
scorekeepers as they grew SO excited over
the game they had Co. / throwing two
goals for every one that passed through the
basket and by their score Co. l lost by
three points-31 to28.

Obituary.
ELIZABETH r. CHATHAM.

A true woman, helpful and sympa-
thetic friend, an untiring worker in all
lines of moral advancement, has passed to
her we'll earned reward. Humility was SC
marked an attribute Of the character OF
Miss Elizabeth r. Chatham, of Mullica
Hill, that few people outside of her own
town realized her rare gifts Of heart and
mind.
body" and her callers were numerous, as
she was greatly beloved, for her whole life
was giving of herself for Others
In childhood she joined the Episcopal
Church, aud she has been a worker in it
for many years, especially in the Sunday
school. Being of an exceedingly timid and
sensitive nature, it was a great struggle for
her to consent to fill any public position.
But because of her absolute conservation to
her Master, she welcomed the opportunity
to work for Him and for humanity offered
by the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. She was President of the sMullica
Hill Union for eleven years, and Cores
ponding Secretary of the county organiza-
tion for over fifteen years.
Her rare gift of expression on paper was
appreciated by all those who heard her
annual reports at the County Conventions,
for she clothed the dry statistics in such
attractive language.
A poetic element was marked in all of her
writing. She was for many years cores
pondent for the GLOUCESTER COUNTY
DEMOCRAT, and for two other county
papers.
Her parents were Joseph Allen and De-
sire Roberts Chatham, who were farmers of
Mullica Hill. In 1862 she graduated from
the Pennsylvania Female College of College
vile, and later she was the Principal for
sixteen years.
After returning to her home she taught
for some time, many parents being thank
full for the impress Of her pure and unset
fish character on young hearts and minds.
Language teaching was her special pleasure
and her forte. She was an interested mem
Der of the Board of Education, and she
faithfully visited schools and attended
Teachers Institutes She was talented in
music also, and had been training the choir
of her church.
A short attack of pneumonia terminated
this beautiful and useful life on Feb. 3.

Robbers Again.

ASOOOOAS 4A61A
Last Sunday night when orr three
finest" were busily patrolling their beats
the home of one of our citizens was burg
larized and an attempt made on the home
of another
When J. Morris Rogers family on East
Cooper street, came down Monday morning
evidences that the house had been burg
larized were apparent from the candle
grease sneared over carpet and tables, and
burned matches that Uttered the floor.
Enterance had been effected by sjimmy-
ing" one Of the windows. The usual plan
of prying up the lower sash had apparently
not been success, so the end of the iron
tool had been forced between the sash, and
the screws that held the catch drawn out
The thieves did not make rich haul as
three umbrellas, an old clock, and some
pieces of plated silver, are the only articles
missing. The burglars evidently were not
hungry, as the contents Of the refrigerator
had not been disturbed
The same night, ABOUT 1.30 o'clock, Mr..
John II. Bradway's rest was broken by the
ringing of his burglar alarm, and after
turning on the electric lights he called His
Honor, Mayor Laid, up over the phone,
anu dSkeu MIN 10 see IL Tile pOilce were Oh
duty, and if so to send squad around.
On arrival they found one of the bay win
dow sash twisted out of shape and the glass
ready to fall out, but not broken. An
effort had been to pry the window up, then
to force the sash apart as in the case of the
Rogers house, but the fastenings held, until
the sash was twisted out of shape. Then
the alarm sounded and the thieves took
warning and left.
When "Joe, +" son of Edgar F. Dell went
to the chicken house Monday morning, he
found grip beside the coop in which was
a brace and bit. The owner may have the
same by proving property.

American Rifles and Riflemen.
of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
have been asked II the charge made by
some English papers since the Palma tro-
ply match. and reprinted without contra
diction by many American papers. to the
effect that the American rifle team was
the only one in that match which used a
special rife was true. I have waited for
some one to answer, but as 1t continues to
pass without comment I want to explain
the matter. as it seems to be misunderstood
by the papers and public in general. To
begin with. the American rife team OF
1907 went to Canada equipped with the
Krag-JorgenSen. the United States maga-
zine rifle. as issued. There We found we
were '.up against the finest rifles that
could be manufactured by private British
makers, the only requirement. being that
the rifle should resemble in pattern and ap-
pearance the official government arm. be
capable Of using the government ammunf-
ton and bear the government viewers
stamp" We were beaten and we did not
kick. but we arranged to meet our "cous-
ms on an equal footing next time. We
met them July IL at Bisley. and the result
has been published Before the match there
was a meeting Of the captains OF the var-
Gus teams, and the points OF difference in
the various guns. etc. were discussed, and
a satisfactory agreement was reached. but
the papers were not, apparently. informed
of It as they have complained increasingly
ever since. While it Is natural that the
British, the hitherto unbeaten military
marksmen of the world, should feel sore
over their defeat. there Is certainly no
ground whatever for charges Of unfair
methods. The first fault their papers found
with us was that our system of coaching
was too democratfc; next, our guns
must be better" than theirs-why not ad-
init the men were better. and be done with
it? GEORGE EARLE COOK,

DICK wELLEs BREAKS RECORD.
Made Fastest Mile for a Circular
Track

Dick Welles wony the special match race
with E. E. Smathers Grand Opera yes
terday at Harlem Strackf Chicago. and in
doing so set a new worlds record for one
mile. on a circular track. The winners
time was 1:37 2-5 which is one-fifth Of a
second off the record made by Allan-a-dale
at Washington Park this spring.
The race did nor amount to much as a
contest as GrandIeopers was at no time
near Dick Welles. athe latter winning in a
common canter. 1t was, the universal opin-
ion of horsemen who saw the race that
Dick Welles could have run the mile in
1:37 fiat had he been extended.
Grand Opera had about half length the
better of the start. but in three jumps Dick
Welles was In front and took the rail at
the first turn. He opened up a gap of
two lengths at the far turn and MAIN
tanned this advantage all the way to the
stretch. where he increased the lead to five
lengths. From there home he was under
stout pull and passed under the wire two
and one-half lengths in front of Grand
Opera. and only jogging.
The betting on the race was very heavy.
DICK Welles opened at even money. but
was backed to to 10. while Grand Opera
was as good as to and backed to 10 to
20 at post time. Weather clear and warm
er; track fast.
