The Machine Stabs Folk.

Folk was tdrned down by the
Democratic majority in the State
Legislature when resolution en-
dotsing him for Governor was in
troduced. FolR wts turned down
by the Democratic Governor, when
his assistant, Bishop, was re-
commended by the s.. Louis bar
for one of the new circuit Judge
ships. Folk was turned bown by
Mayor Wells when he issued invi-
tations to the Francis banquet.
Folk was turned down by the
Wells Butler Hawes machine when
tho Democratic campaign was
opened, locally. And, last, but
not least, Folk was turned down
by the Wells-Butler-Hawes 'In-
dians" Tuesday when members of
tho boodIing combine" of the late
House of Delegates, saloonkeepers
and ballot box suffers were elect
ed by force and fraud. We have

that tho supreme court may be

S()F 7 COPE:

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, Scots S
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

a State Run by Boodlers.

Missouri is not governed by the
people for the people. Its law
making functions have long been
at the mercy of grafters for big
monopolies, and its leading state
officials have either been in the
Doodle combines or disposed to
keep dark about the villanies in
order to shield the party and con
tinue its rule. The alum scandal
that has broken through the ring
barriers is not new in its general
aspect, but it is q new thing to
have the details coming out bef ore
grand jurics. The Investigation
Of state boodling by juries in both
Jefferson City and St. Louis came
about indirectly through a hypo-
critical cry Of "stop thief" When
the schoolbook trust wa. trying to
pass its scheme at the recent ses-
sion of the legislature, Speaker
Whiteeotton, a most Jealous sup
porter of the trust bill, after fail

house and charged that the oppon-
ents of the trust had been bribed.
A perfunctory Legislative investi'
eating committee took hold Of the
charge and Unexpectedly struck
the proof of bood1ing in another
quarter, the old baking powder

President Hart returned from a three

easily secured the decision last night over
Charlie Sieger of New York at San Fran
cisco. There was no stage of the contest
in which the issue was In doubt.
In all but the fourteenth round Britt had
a clear lead. He outpointed, outboxed and
outgeneraled Sieger at every stage of the
game. Britt created havoc with Sieger' S
abdomen with left hooks, which he landed
time and again. He varied during the lat
ter stages of the contest by working his
left to the face and soon had Sieger bleed
ing copiously from nose and mouth. Britt
timed his blows to a nicely.

Sieger landed two wild swings on the Cali
fornian's jaw. one partly flooring him and
the second sending him to his knees. The
bell rang at this stage, but Britt went to
his corner without showing signs of dis
treSs.
He came up fresh in the fifteenth round
and once more outpointed Sieger, seeming
to grow fresher and stronger as the fight
advanced.
Britt employed his left almost contInu-
ously throughout the fight. but when the
opening presented he used his right to good
advantage. Sieger's ability to take pun
ishment was marvellous. Britt left the ring
without a mark, while Sieger tottered.

SMITH DISQUALIFIED,
Pennsy's Star Full-Back Put Off the
Team

A. T. Smith, the star full back of the
University of Pennsylvania foot ball team
who played in the game against Harvard
last Saturday despite the protest entered
by Harvard's captain that he was ineligible,
has been disqualified by the faculty ath-
letic committee The following statement
was issued by the faculty committee, of
which Vice Provost Edgar F. Smith is
chairman:
1.-The faculty committee on athletics of
the University of Pennsylvania. at meet
ing held in Philadelphia today, decided on
the information received within the pre-
vious twenty-four hours. that A. #. Smith,
having played as representative of State
College in two games after the State Col
observation-disclosures game, was ineligible to
represent Pennsylvania this season, and he
has therefore been disqualified.
"A note explaining the circumstance has
been sent to the colleges against whom
Pennsylvania has played this autumn. ex-
pressing the regret of the committee that
1t had not earlier the Information on which
its present action Is based"
Smith was student at State College last
year and played on the State College foot
ball team against Pennsylvania. Immedi-
ately afterward he entered the sophomore
class in chemistry at Pennsylvania, but did
not play on the Pennsylvania team because
of the one-year residence rule. He played
all this season and Harvard protested him
on the ground that he had not been at
Pennsylvania one year.

WALK FOR RECORD.
Baltimore Athletes to Walk to This
City on Thanksgiving Day.

From the Baltimore American.
Walking is apt to become a fad here this
fall and next spring. The announcement
that a band of athletes from the West
Branch Y. M. c. A. and Maryland Athletic
Club under Capt. Harry Hechheimer, in
tended to walk to Washington Thanksgiv-
ing has brought about much discussion and
several veteran pedestrians have cropped
up. One of the most interesting of these is
Walter Ward. of 1880 HolIins street. who
claims to hold the Baltimore Washington
record and the Maryland long-distance rec
ord, and to wanttto defend them against all
corners. Wards record from this city to
Washington is hours and II minutes, made
July A. 1892. and he Is still in training and
ready to defend 1t. Mr.. Ward said last night
that If the Hechheimer party should come
anywhere near his record he would chal-
lenge any of them to a walking match for
suitable emoluments.
Mr. Ward has figured in twenty-one walk
ing matches and has never lost. Mr.. Will
lam r. Phipps of 0 North Mount street is
his hacker. and Ward wants to get busy
again at the sport. He works In the brass

The statement credited TO Ban Johnson.
president of the American League, that the
foul-strike rule. If unsatisfactory to the
American League after years trial. would
be abolished is denied by President Hart
of the Chicago club Of the National League
1T promised Mr. Johnson that If his league
did not like the rule after a years trial I
would vote with him to abolish it, said
Mr.. Hart in Chicago yesterday. It was
overenthusiastic. and had no idea tine league
would not like 1t. However. the National
League made no such pledge"
Ban Johnson president of the American
Base Ball League, was in Cleveland last
night to learn the views of the Cleveland
club owners as to whether the foul-strike
rule should be abolished or not. The Cleve-
land owners are opposed to the rule.
johnson said that the majority of the
American League club owners are also op-
posed to 1t, and at a meeting of the Ameri-
can League In Chicago next month a COM
mittee will be appointed to confer with a
National League committee with view to
it's elimination from next years games.
Johnson said that he had the assurance of
National League magnates that IL the rule
was found Objectionable to the American
League teams the National League would
agree to a return to the conditions of pre-
yious years.
