New Game of Billiards.

A new game of billiards is be-

was introduced by the American
champion, Jacob Schaefer, and is
played with three balls-one blue,
one white and one red. Each play
er plays the white, but must make
the carom alternately off the red
or off the blue. They say it is a
mcre fascinating game than the
ordinary billiards, but the ''1uker"
finds scoring very slow.

service in this capacity gave him the
opportunity to become familiar with
matters Of transportation. Soon af.
ter the close of his term as legis-
lator, though y democrat, he was
elected mayor of his home city,
Champaign, where republicans were
largely in the majority.
During his residence in Illinois Mr..

member of the interstate commerce
commission, and Col. William Il. Nor

Early in his first term President
Cleveland appointed Mr.. Day to the
position Of second auditor of the
treasury, and since entering upon the
duties of that position he has been a
resident in Washington. Upon retir-
ing from that Office he resumed the
practice of law in Washington. His
study of transportation problems.
taken up during his service in the H.
linois legislature has been followed
continuously, and he has been closely
identified with litigation involving
questions relating to transportation
subjects. He has been very frequent
ly employed by the interstate COM

and has represented that body in
nearly all of the important investiga'

many transportation cases other

Recently Mr.. Day acted as special
attorney for, the government in a
number of important cases involving
trusts, corporations and transporta-

magnates, elicting the causes of the
panic of May 9, 1901, His work in
these cases was so efficient and suc-
cessful as to meet with the full APP

The Philadelphia Polytechnic is the

applied. A lamp has recently been
imported from England which is an
adaptation of the original Finsen
lamp and considered in many re-

W It consists Of an arc light with q
hollow metal shield into which are
fitted two rock crystal lenses used
for concentrating the light rays.
Cold water, constantly flowing
through the shield and between the
lenses, carries off the heat rays gen

Rear Admiral Cook, who commanded

the school then at Newport, R. l., with
the class of '63, and was assigned to
duty on the Seminole, then engaged in
blockading Texas. Capt. Cook began
service as ensign under Farrag gut, who
commanded the gulf squadron. Soon
after he was ordered to the gunboat
Tennessee and thence to the LaclSa-

ton and more troops. -: 49,. -,
THE report of the commission is a
great victory for union labor. 1t
shows that when the strike was en-
tered into it was the fault of the
employers. This whole strike was
brought about because the employ

ers wished to destroy the union, and
back of the employers were the great
corporations of the United States and
all the railroads. That is what is
meant by these illegal and outrageous
injunctions issued by tools of the
railroad companies, issued by judges
who are as much the servants of the
railroads as their section men.
"When the union is destroyed it
will mean the end of labor's hopes.
Labor unions are not perfect insti-
tutions. They are simply a means
to an end. In some respects labor
unions are narrow, exclusive and mo-
nopolistic. They are not ideal. In
all ideal state there will be no la
Tor union, there will be no boycotts,
no strikes, no wage-carners and no
wage-payers. There will be general
partnership. Capital cannot combine
and operate together and ask labor
to operate separately. 10 ask the
labor union to dissolve is to ask one
army to lay down its AIMS in the face
of another army"
Mr.. barrow devoted the greater
part of his address to the subject of
violence during the coal strike, and
throughout his remarks he excori-
ated President Baer and the opera
tors.
The speaker said only 20 cases had
been proved where dynamite had
been used, and that in no. case did
the strikers or their sympathizers
intend to kill anyone. "They simply
wanted to scare nonunion men by
exploding dynamite in front of the
doors of these men," explained the
miners counsel.
Mr.. barrow said the miners or their
sympa thizers killed only three men
while the coal and iron police and
soldiers killed three or four. "None
of the homicides committed by
miners or their sympathizers were
