Beer stems.

Some beer stems are made I'm this coun-
try, but they do not cut any figure IN the
trade. Germans. who are the principal
buyers of stems. know an imported from
his flowers. man who has spent his
youth in Germany. especially II he knows
anything of the student life, can tell by
merely glancing at a stein I'm what part
Of the fatEerland ii was manufactured.
The largest stems imported hold about
eight pints Of beer. In Germany they are
used in beer halls patroEized by university
students at Heidelberg and elsewhere. In
this country the Germans buy them for
presents. The greatest compliment one
German can pay another Is TO present him
with one OF these highly decorated stems,
on which is implanted familiar picture in
colored clay OF his boyhood home, the
home of his ancestors. or some incident in
German history.
Anywhere from $50 TO $50 may be spent
on n stein of this sort. and the manufac-
turers in Germany give such wide va
riety TO their native scenery that very few
stems are made 10 order.
The smallest stein holds exactly one
eighth of a pint. These are seldom seen In
barrooms or rathskellers, even for exhibi-
ton purposes. They are presented
to children in families. Just az
the English and Americans present
china and porcelain cups. with the
ornate colored letters. These small stems,
like the large ones, generally record some
incident In German literature, and some
times cost almost as much as the big ones.
Two dollars for small stein OF this de-
scrfption is a very moderate price 10 pay.
The cheapest sort. such as are ordinarily
kept on bars In Ice packed tubes during the
summer. cost about Is cents each. There
Is a heavy duty on them.

AN ATHLETIC ENDOWMENT
CHICAGO UNIVERSITY Is WORKING
TO SECURE ONE.
Wisconsin and Michigan Invited to
Join in n Movement to Make
Athletic Games Free.

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-The faculty of the
University of Chicago is endeavoring to in
augurate a system of athletics under which
there will be no paid admission to contests
in which the university athletes compete
AS the cooperation of all the Western col
leges will be necessary to carry out this
radical departure, steps have already been
taken to arrange conferences with the uni
veritites of Wisconsin and Michigan. The
plan will necessitate the establishment of
an endowment fund for physical culture
and athletics, and the trustees of the Chi
cago institution have already taken pre-
liminary steps looking to this end.
While the details of the new plan have
not yet been completed, some scheme for
issuing invitations to the football and base
ball games and track meets will be formu-
lated. Such invitations would be distrib-
uted to the students, professors, trustees
and employees of the institutions immediate
ly concerned, and the general public would
have to look to them for their tickets.
Full details of the plan are to be worked
out by a committee OF the board of physical
culture at the University of Chicago. The
measure has already been voted on by the
board, and President Harper will appoint
the committee within few days. The
trustees of the university also have APP
proved the plan.

INTEREST in BIG GAME
THOUSANDS WILL SEE INDIANA AND
PURDUE PLAY.
Teams Are More Evenly Matched than
Last Year-Games Played This
Year-"Big Nine Games.

Football enthusiasts Of Indiana, and there
are many thousands of them, are now more
interested in the game between Indiana and
Purdue. which will be played at Washington
Park, Indianapolis, next Saturday after
noon. than in any other gridiron struggle.
Several hundred followers of the two teams
from Bloomington and Lafayette will jour-
ney to Indianapolis on special trains to wit
ness this game and large crowds will gather
here from other cities. 1t will be the most
important football game in the State this
year.
Reports from the two training camps have
been sent out with the evident purpose of
trying to make the enemy's camp believe
the players are in poor condition, while, In
fact, both Indiana and Purdue will go into
the game in good shape. A few of the play
ers have been laid up with slight injuries,
but the strongest teams will be sent to the
field in next Saturday game.
AS the time approaches for this game
reports show that the teams will be more
evenly matched than they were last season
Purdue had the advantage of more early
season training and has played two more
games than Indiana, but the state team
has shown wonderful improvement in the
past two weeks and Is rapidly rounding
into the best possible shape

TWO teams this season follow:

MAY FIGHT ABROAD.



James j. Jeffries may be forced to go to
a foreign country to make money with his
fists unless some new pugilistic star sud-
denly springs to the front The champion
already has his eye on South Africa, where
Kid Mccoy and Jack Everhardt found the
picking so good. If he goes to a foreign
country il will be for the reason that he
prefers the limelight OF the ring to that
of the stage. Jeffries has not yet made
any plans and he may not until two days
before he does a thing. Jeffries has had
his choice of four propositions. He can
go on the stage with Fitzsimmons or Cor
bett or by himself. He can forego the
stage and meet such men as have the
nerve To fight him. He can remain idle
or go abroad.

The second proposition does not cover
any glittering prospects with IL. Jenries
might take on Jack Munroe, providing he
could induce the miner 10 meet him. But
If such could be done, the newspapers
would all call the bout a plain case OF
murder. and Munroe would not draw enough
to make the affair gay any great amount
of money. After Munroe, there is really
no one to meet. Jeffries can see little in
fighting the men that this country can
now furnish as opponents. The third pros

tries just now looks like the best opening

his mind shortly as 10 what he will do.
Jeffries made a trip abroad after he
whipped Fitzsimmons, but that was mostly
for the fun of the thing. At the time of
his former trip. Jeffries did not have the
reputation that he now enjoys. He has
since become known as the best ring
fighter. the world ever produced, and no
doubt he will be drawing card wherever
he goes, providing he can find some one 10

stack up against the easy marks and draw
crowded houses on his name alone.

MAY LEASE BILTMORE.


NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Biltmore, the mag
niflcent 13O.0OO-acre estate owned by Mr..
George w. Vanderbilt in North Carolina.
probably will be converted into vast hunt
ing and fishing preserve for the use of one
of the most exclusive and fashionable
sportsmen's clubs in the country.
Edgar B. Moore, proprietor Of kenilworth

Vanderbilt, who proposes to lease his prop
erty for a term of years to be used as a
hunting ground for club which Mr.. Moore

in the preserve during the time Mr.. VAN
derbilt has owned Blltmore, eight or ten
years, so the grounds will be practically a
virgin field for the huntsman and fisher
man. Rangers in uniform have patroled
the preserve for years to protect the game
from poachers. This immense estate, with
its woodland hills and streams, is inter-
sected by picturesque roads built by Mr.
Vanderbilt at great expense, and has va
ried attractions.
For distance OF from forty to fifty
miles the famous French Broad river runs
its course, and at one point on the range
converges with Hominy creek.
In these streams Mr.. Vanderbilt has
placed 10000 rainbow trout from his own
hatchery every season. Therefore, the wa
tiers of Biltmore are we'll supplied with
speckled beauties.
ION the grounds of this great estate may
be found quail in large numbers; pheasants,
wild turkey, deer and number of black
bear. Upon the completion of his hunting
club Mr.. Moore contemplates inviting Pres
ident Roosevelt to Biltmore for a black
bear hunt There are mountain peaks from
5000 to 600 feet on Biltmore, the highest
being Mount Pisgah, upon which Mr.. VAN

ELIJAH AND JEZEBEL.
Historic Parallel to the Case Of Dowie
and Mrs. Nation.


Kansas City Star.
If there are any Bible readers left in New
York they will be recalling to-day an in
cident in the old Scriptures that appears
somewhat pertinent to the assumption of
the name of Elijah by John Alexander
Dowie of the Restoration Host" who, with
his followers. is now besieging Mammon in
its chosen stronghold, Gotham. Acutely i'm
aginative persons might have discovered
some analogy between the clamor In Madi-
son Square garden on the night of Elder
Dowie's first appearance there, and the
whirlwind and the earthquake that swept
and shook Mount Horeb and passed before
the cave in which the Elijah of old had
sought refuge. 1t is rather curious that
Elijah III didn't think about himself when
he murmured sorely about the manners of
New York audience. and the confusion Incl
dent to the passing in and out of throngs
of curious people while he was seeking TO
touch their hardened and guilty hearts.
1t is necessary, though. to refresh the
public mind regarding the part that JeZebel
played in the affairs of the Tishbite prophet
to make plain the real parallel between the
Biblical Elijah and his would-be imitator of
these latter days. Ii would be interesting 10
the ministrations of Elder Dowie in New
York last evening thought of the flight of
Eu1an the IlSnDlte, INTO the wilderness be-
fore the wrath of the goddess wife of Ahab,
when Carrie Nation butted into the meeting
to plague and annoy Elijah III. though this
incident will appear TO the careful and re-
tentive student of the Holy Word only a
repetition of Bible history with such modi-
fications present conditions bring about.
Elijah III. surrounded by his chosen guards.
and by members of the police force detailed
TO preserve order in Madison Square Garden,
did not give place to Carrie Nation or re-
move himself out of her way, for the very
sufficient reason that she was promptly
hustled out of the hall. 1t is not by any
means clear that without such protection
Elijah III would have showed greater cour-
age than was displayed by his illustrious
prototype. when he came and sat down
under juniper tree and requested that the
Lord might take away his life.
What men do I'm this world and the fig
ure they cut is chiefly matter, when IL is
all said and done. of chronology and environ
ment. 1t Is pretty certain that If the real
Elijah were living to-day and especially IL
he were in New York, he would not depend
on the ravens for nourishment and he would
not mind Carrie Nation enough to betake
himself to the Catskiils or the Jersey
swamps.
What Elder Dowie would have done had
he lived In the days of Elijah the Tish-
bite. is rather beside the question, but II
is suspected that the story OF his life would
not have closed with the ascension 10
heaven in a chariot of fire.

CENTRAL LEAGUE MEETING.
Business Of Importance to BE Trans

Israel whipple and George Harper. two
members of the Terre Haute Central
League polo team, were in the city yester-
day and inspected the new rink now in
process of construction with Secretary
Harry Cohen. of the Indianapolis Roller
Polo Association. Whipple will play center
for Terre Haute this season and Harper
will tend goal. The latter is big and strong
and will doubtless make good in guarding
the Hottentot cage. Whipples ability as
a polo player is we'll known.
Both men expressed themselves as being
pleased with the new rink. and predicted
that the local association would make I'D
the losses sustained last season. The Terre
Haute team is now complete, and the play
ers are practicing daily in the Terre Haute
