TO CUT DOWN EXPENSE.
Kansas City.Kas., EN- barrassed by sa-
loon Closing.

Kansas City, Kan Oct 24-The city
administration, of Kansas City, kan.
has under consideration a plan for cut
ting down expenses. in all departments
and of creating new sources of revenue:
The closing of the Joints puts an end
to an income which has amounted In
the past to from $4,000 to $4,000 year.
This money has been used principally
to run the police and fire departments.
A councilman said yesterday that he
understood the council would be called
upon in the near future to consider an
ordinance reducing the forces of the po-
lice and fire departments. Under the
present financial condition of the city 1t
will be absolutely necessary to cut down
EXPENSES somewhere. The extra street
force was taken off few weeks ago
and other retrenchments have been
made. The present fire and police de-
partments are not any larger than they
should be for the proper protection of
the city.

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

In the Irving French company at the
Grand Topeka has something different
from the stock organizations that have
appeared here. There is a vim and go
to the performances not noticeable in
the others. This was evident last night
when a fast farce, AN Trishman's
Troubles" was on view. A constant
string of specialties aided in keeping
the action at fever heat.
An assassin of sorrow is what Don
Macmillan must be. for he kept the
sides of those in the large audience
shaking. AS an eccentric or character
comedian he has had no equal here in
stock Mrs. Irving French and the
others pleased the crowd.
New vaudeville will be offered to-
night when "O'Moore's Courtship" will
close the engagement.
''In Convict Stripes" at the Crawford

FRED PERNELL WINS.
Jury in District Court Gives. Him
Chrisman Building.

Chrisman Building.
The negro. Fred Pernell. has been
confirmed in his title to the Topeka
Cash building, which was decided to him
by Mrs. Eliza Chrisman before her
death. The suit brought on the part of
Miss Cora Louise Thayer to set aside
the deed was lost in the district court
Friday when the jury after being out
more than a day brought in a verdict
in favor of the defendant.
The suit was brought in the name of
OFT & Embree. executors of the estate
One or two of the other relatives of
the late Mrs. Chrisman were interested
in the litigation. 1t was their conten-
ton that the negro, Pernell who lived
in the Chrisman home all his life ex-
erted an undue influence upon Mrs.
Chrisman, whose mind, they said, was
enfeebled by age. 1t was asserted that
Pernen held some unusual power over
Mrs. Chrisman, who was of a supersti-
tious nature. Pernell lived in the Chris
man home and was allowed privileges
far exceeding those of an ordinary SER
want. The value of the property in lit
igation is about $25, 900.

FAMOUS CUP
YANKEES WILL SHOOT BRlToNs
FOR PALMA TROPHY.
REVIVAL OF OLD CONTESTS
Next July Shall Witness Recurrence
Of International Rifle Matches
Between Two Nations.

It is now a good many years since
the last International rifle competi-
ton between teams of America and
England has taken place. The time
a in the earlier seventies, when
such events were among the regular
contests and interest in them was
great, in tact, even the yacht races
came in for little greater attention
and everybody was familiar with the
names of the men who participated.
Now they have been forgotten, ex-
cept, perhaps, by Z few who consider
the use of the rifle one of the accom-
plishments.
In craftsmanship, as in about every
thing else involving accuracy OF judg-
ment, precision of eye and steadi-
ness OF nerves, the Yankee shooters
defeated the Britons, whether at home
or on the E~nglishmen's ranges and
the newspapers contained lengthy a c
counts of their victories. For some
reason the matches ceased, probably
because the Englishmen became tired
of being defeated regularly, for only
once were they successful, and since
Captain Gildersleeye and his men won
the last match there has been none.
Now they are to be revived and it
