SYRACUSE PROS. WIN
Defeat Knickerbocker Athlete Club Football
Team, 36 to 0-Less Interest.

Less interest was displayed in the professional
football tournament az Madison Square Garden last
night than in the previous matches The Knicker-
booker Field Club team proved to be no match for
the team of bHriy excoIlege players from Syracuse
and the local men were beaten TO the ground and
badly beaten by the score Of IS to O. The Knfcker-
booker men fought back puckily, but had TO
chance against superior skill and weight
The Knickerbocker did not relish the idea
of such a match. and before going into the arena
demanded that their guarantee be increased from
slea 90 $50. When this complied With they
defhanded the money in hand before they would

players were disgusted and offered play sor moth

their rivals into the arena. They did IL. too.

SILVER STILL TO THE FORE.
Cheap Dollar Democrats Make Their
Last stand on the Philippine
Currency Bill.

Notwithstanding all the talk of the
democratic party repudiating Bryan
ism, it is very evident that the faint
still clings to it, especially that part of
the Bryan doctrine which favors the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the 16 to ratio. This is amply dem
onstrated in the United States senate,
says the Troy Times, where democratic
members rally to the silver standard
at every opportunity. The particular
object of their hostility just now is the
bill which is intended to place the cur
rency of the Philippines on gold basis
and give commercial and industrial
stability to the islands. The prospects
have seemed good for the passage of
the bill, but recently the democratic
senators have manifested disposition
to talk it to defeat. Senator Teller, of
Colorado, is especially active in opposi-
ton, on the ground that it means a
death blow to silver, to which he and
some of his western associates are APP
parentlywedded by indissoluble bonds.
1t appears to make no difference to
these men what financial disaster and
commercial inconvenience threaten
those in whose interests this legisla-
ton is desired and who are suffering
because of the incongruities. perplexi-
ties and manifold evils arising from the
preent chaotic condition of the Philip
pine currency. Nor are they moved by
the fact that the whole civilized world
is recognizing the folly and uselessness
of trying to impart :, Fictitious and I'M
warranted monetary value to silver.
With such countries as Mexico and
China, both of which have for centuries
shown special preference for silver as

HAVE KEPT THE FAITH.
Republicans Redeem the Pledges
Made by President Roosevelt In
the Campaign of 1902.

The passage by the house of the Ell
kins bill to prevent and punish discrim-
ination among railway shippers prac-
tically completes the administration
programme for present legislation re-
garding the control of the trusts, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The Elkins bill changes the present
law chiefly in Furnishing the corpora
ton for whose benefit secret rebates
are granted rather than the personal
agent of the corporation. Instead of
threatening with fine or imprisonment
the man whose livelihood may depend
upon his getting business" no matter
how, it seeks to fine the corporation
for whose benefit business is illegiti'
mately obtained. The practical sense
of this change needs no argument.
The other leading feature of the adj
ministration programme was that the
| operations of interstate corporations
should be given wholesome publicity.
That has been sought and probably Sc
cured by the Nelson amendment to the
bill establishing the new department Of
commerce and labor. Incidental fea-
lures were the bills to expedite prose-
cutions of offending corporations and
giving the department of justice funds
needed to obtain evidence.
The opposition in congress to these
measures finally settled down to the
assertion that they "would not hurt
the trusts" 1t is to be noted, however,
| that such criticism was voiced only by
those congressman who have swal-
lowed Mr.. Bryan's penitentiary pre-
scription and who cannot understand

think the Canadians were quickest to
see the advantage of the tandem for
mation-tandem in style even if there
are more than two in line-and in the
parks of the big cities of the United
States the style is all the go now. If
the young man and his sweetheart
want to speed around the park or on
the river, they will find the tandem for
nation augments speed, produces a
restful feeling, because of the ryhth-
matte motion, and if the skates are
sharp, enables the skaters to develop
| much more speed than under the old
style of crossing arms and holding
hands. Another way for two skaters
to use the tandem is for the girl who
stands in front, say, to put her arms
back so that the young man may
clutch them above the elbows"
That figure and fancy skating, so
much the rage few years ago, has
gone by the board is palpable. The
national figure skating champion
ships have been discontinued G. ID.
Phillips, for several years the speed
and figure skating champion-he held
either the speed or figure champion
ship during the interval between 1867
and 1897, no less than % years-says
that ice hockey has eliminated the de-
sire to excel in figure skating. The
figure skater uses curved skate with
a small pivot for the toe, whereas the
skate in vogue now is the flat skate
that gives firm footing. 1t is difficult
| to execute curves with the hockey
| skate. With the rockered skate that
| presents one-third of the surface to
the ice, the graceful skater may make
all sorts of curly marks on the ice.
| Where hundreds of these skates were
used five years ago the racing skate
with blade is inches long and only an
eighth of an inch wide, seems to have
crowded the old style skate out. Once
the skater gets accustomed to the
racing skate he forsakes the rockered
skate for good.

For how many years will people
point to the laboratories which j. d.
Rockefeller is to build and say that a
baby built them?
The land for the Rockefeller insti-
tute has just been bought. They will
be in operation perhaps in five years.
They will cover three acres of ground.
The land has cost close to million dol
lars, the buildings must cost several
times that sum. They are to be devo-
ted solely to the study of the proven
ton of disease.
And they will be built because when
Rockefeller's grandson, little "Jack"
Mccormick, of Chicago, was wasting
away in fatal disease the mind of the
richest man in the world was bent by
sorrow upon the problem of disease.
What money would he not have given
to save that little life! And he resolved
that what money could do to buy leis-

the means of saving other lives that
should be done.
