 "Anusements play a comparatively small part in the lives of German work people," says a well known writer, land such as they have are mostly confined to Sunday. Games have not taken hold of them. They go to no football or cricket matches, although there are matches, and other classes in Germany show growing taste for games and sports.
 T went to see a football match be- tween Dusseldorf and a neighboring manufacturing town. A similar match anywhere in manufa curing England would have attracted from 10000 to 10000 sons of toll, who would have shouted themselves hoarse from beginning to end. At the German match not one put in an appearance. When left the field. toward the close of the game, the spectators, who had slowly increased during the afternoon. numbered exactly sixty-five. They were not workingmen. and they showed no excitement whatever
 "They played the association game. and not very well. The national game in Germany Is keseI. kind of skittles, and it is played at public houses, but not by workingmen, or seldom by them. They play cards sometimes, but not great deal. Tn short, games may be ruled out as an item in indus triaI life.
 "Theaters and music halls count for more, but for nothing like so much as in England and in America. They are less numerous in proportion to popula- lion, and are only visited by the work ing classes to a limited extent on Sat urday and Sunday

 to Postal Frauds.
 WASHINGTON Dec. 19-Tha house by resolution has authorized the com nlttee on expenditures in the postofice department to request the postmaster general to furnish that committee the papers in connection with the recent postofdce investigation, but not until after a lively debate. The resolution met opposition on the Republican side. Mir. Overstreet Rep., Ind.), chairman of the committee on postofices and postToads, contended that the informa- ton sought had been received from the postofice department and mailed to members
 MT. Wanger (Rep., Pal, chairman of the committee on postoffice expendi- lures, held that the desired information was essential to his committee, in con- sideratien of measures affecting the postofhce department.
 Mr. Williams, the minority leader, re- newed his effort to substitute resolu- tion providing that the information be requested by the house instead of a cQTnmittee. but the previous question being ordered on practically a party vote he had no opportunity to offer his substitute. It required the speakers vote to order the previous question, the yea and nay vote resulting in a tie. On 8 yea and nay vote on it's passage the resolution was agreed to, 109 to 100, the minority voting practically unanimously with the friends of the measure on the Republican side.

Sir Thosnas Lipton Announces
 He Will Come Again.
A SILVER SERVICE FROM AMERICANS
The BarOnct Said He Could Always "Raise the Wind' Except at sandy Hook, hut Is Ready
 For Another Race.

LONDON, Dec. 19.--Sir Thomas Lip ton announced his readiness to again challenge for the America's cup when the silver service subscribed for by the people of the United States was pre- eented to him at dinner held at the Hyde Park hotel last night The din ner was attended by several members of the house of commons. the members of the London presentation committee, including John R. Garter, second secre- tary of the United States embassy: Captain Charles H. Stockton, United States naval attache, and Major John R. Beacon, United States military at- tasehe, and by nearly a hundred Ameri- several who are now visiting here.
 Consul General Evans presided and in presenting the service said that 1t was unprecedented for such an honor to be paid foreigner by the people of the United States, but that Sir Thomas Upton had won the golden opinions of these from whom he tried to wrest the Americas cup,
 Sir Thomas Lipton. replying, said he was g proud man to be the recipient of such 2 splendid gift, adding, Tt will bs cherished by me as my most valued treasure"
 Referring in humorous vein to the value of the gift in raising the wind, '' Sir Thomas said that he never really had any di6aculty in so doing except at Sandy Hook. He had hoped, he said, to add an interesting item to the fiscal controversy by increasing British silver imports with that interesting import, the America's cup. Having failed to do so, he found in this silver service a splendid substitute.
 Speaking with much feeling, Sir Thomas said that if any action of his had tended to the development of a batter feeling between Great Britain and the United States it would be a source of sincere happiness to him to the end of his days, though what he had done was merely a slight return for the generosity and courtesy show cred upon him by the American people. Continuing, Sir Thomas said

Frank Sutton. son of Contractor James Sutton of William street, is making record at polo with the Fort Wayne team. The Fort Wayne Daily News of December 15 has the follow ing to say regarding his work: ''Ear1y in the season Fort Wayne rooters rather criticized Sutton for leaving the goal circle to block plays or put up an interference with team negotiations for a short stop drive at. his cage Yes terday Sutton demonstrated that be is playing great game and that he has mastered in measure the plays which so excited the rooterg to criticism. He practically saved the game on his work outside the goal circle.

On the supposition that the supply for

more than their normal amount; and sup
posing that each ditch is using the full

The saloons Object TO Any Kind OF
Restraint,

There seems to be an objection on the
part Of some Of our people to the enforce
ment Of the misdsmeanor ordinance.
Whenever the marshal arrests a man and
he is fined there is sure TO be vigorous
kick. and this Kicking causes the mar
shal to avoid performing the duties for
which the city pays him. This is not a
wise policy for either the saloons or their
friends. The people demand law. order
and deeeney. and sooner or later they
will have it. A few more exhibitions like
that Of Wednesday evening will make

very severe diarrheoa which It seemed al
most impossible to check. and along in

to die. One day one OF his neighbors
brought him one small bottle Of Chamber
