Anderson, Ind, November a.
Before 1000 people Richmond de-
feated Anderson tonight by the score
Of i to Sin a game~that was devoid
of features, save the clever floor
work of the visitors. The Anderson
team was weakened by the absence
Z of Mercer, who failed to arrive, and
local amateur, Taylor, was sub
\ stituted at second rush., The Quak-
ers played in good form, while the
locals work was ragged, notwith
standing the fact that Anderson has
been i'll training for over week
and the Champions had only prac
ticed together once.
In the first period, Miller, after
three minutes OF play, smashed the
ball into the draperies back Of Cap
tain Jessup, and the fans had their
first opportunity Of the season in
letting off their pent-up enthusiasm.
Richmond Immediately took brace
and Bone worked the floor like a
demon, tieing the score five minutes
later, with a beautiful drive into
Mallory's cage With half min
ute Of play left Bone ended the
scoring in the first period by once
more putting the ball behind Ander
SON pocket edition goal tend.
Two minutes after the gong for
the second period had sounded Bone
scored Toward the close of the per-
iod Wodtke tied the score by max
ing two goals in rapid succession.
Anderson defense braced in the
third period and Mallory. by spec
tacular play withstood the attacks
of the Quaker rushers for ten min
utes, but as fast one Of Bones
finally sifted through the gentleman

mick is expected to retire from St
Petersburg on account of i'll health.
Ambassador Powell Clayton will re-
tire from Mexico and Minister Conger
will leave Peking. Other retirements
and transfers of equal Importance will
occur very early in President Roose-
velt's next term.
There are some consular positions
attracting attention from those de-
sirous of sacrificing themselves for
the good of their country. The pa
triots think that John X. Gowdy, of
Indiana, has enjoyed his SIS, 900 a year
at Paris as consul general long
enough. They also believe that H.
Clay Evans has had his share of pub
lie office, and there are several banker
ing after his $40, 000-a-year job. Con-
sui General Boyle, at Liverpool, has
enjoyed an income of something like
s13, 900 a year since the first month
of the first Mckinley administration.
There is no dearth of patriots willing
to undertake his duties. The presi-
dent has indicated by his appointments
SO far that he is going to rely as much
on his own knowledge of men and their
fitness for the public service as he il
upon the advice Of the politicians.

dollars for the beautiful building which
the society is to have. The old railroad
president had no children of his own.
His adopted daughter became Princess
HatZfeldt after the humble fashion in
which even the most naughty American
can gain the name of princess. The
elder son, Henry, has financial ability,
and is concerned in the management Of
the Huntington properties. But Archer
cares for nothing quite so much as for
books and study. In his early days in
California he laid the foundations of a
knowledge of Spanish which is rarely
matched by Americans.
Associated with Mr.. Huntington in the
society are Charles H. Tweed, Francis
Lathrop, Isaac E. Gates and the Hillhouse
brothers as charter members. The
building is to be a beautiful Ionic tenn
pie near Riverside drive, with spacious
grounds which represent the greater
part of the expense. Not one Of the
founders has, so far as | know, any
Spanish blood. OWEN LANGDON.

surrounding ar eye, and so disguise it
that only the most critical inspection
would reveal the trouble. He had no
fixed prices. The yelled lady who came
to him in a carriage to conceal the eff
fects of a husbands "carelessness," or
maybe that of another lady, was al
lowed to pay a round price; the "profes-

things considered.
Keane dropped into the business
through being assistant to the first black
eye specialist New York ever had.
There are 10Y three who do more or less
at it, but Keane had the call" and main
tanned an entire floor on Sixth avenue;
his sign, covering the front of his rooms,
was an object of curious interest to peo-
pie who passed it by the thousand every
day on the elevated trains. Suppose you
were going uptown with a visitor from
the country. You pointed out the Black
Cat restaurant, Washington square,
once the Potter's field, now the begin
ming of New York's most exclusive res
ident section and street; the Jefferson
Market police court, the big dry goods
stores the tree out of which Broker
Hatch fell to his death when trying to
escape a badger game, Tom Keane's
sign-and so on.
Keane's establishment was a remind
er of the fact that the Bowery is in these
days %peaceable enough beside the gilt
tering Tenderloin, where the space of a
mile to north and south and half that
distance west from the center there is
enough pure c~ussedness to keep the po-
lice busy "a hours every day.

can be converted into an immense ball
room, and which lends itself to a very
handsome scheme of decoration. Con-
gress has prohibited the use of the hall
for public functions, however, and
unless hat action is reversed some
other place will have to be secured.
The holding of the ball in the pension
Office has hitherto resulted in stopping
work in that important bureau vir-
tually for a week. This was thought
to be unfair to the thousands Of old
soldiers who nave claims awaiting ad-
justment, and it is also regarded as
unfair to the clerical force of the bu-
reau, who have been compelled to take
an enforced vacation during the
Inauguration season.
There has been some talk of build
ing a huge temporary structure or
wigwam for the purpose OF holding
this ball. One thing that initiates
against this proposition is the men,
DRY of the inaugural ball held at the
time of Gen. Grants second Inaugural
ton, in 1873, when an immense tenn
porary wooden building was erected
and used. The temperature dropped
to five or six degrees below zero on
Inauguration night, and it was lmpos-
sible to heat the building sufficiently
to make it either healthful or COM
Portable. Numerous cases OF pneu-
monia resulted from exposure in that
building. and not a few deaths oc-
Cured. 1t is impossible to forecast
the kind of weather that will pre-
vail on the night of the 4th of March
long enough before to insure the
safety and comfort of a temporary
structure. Even the very efficient
weather bureau of the government
would not undertake to say two
months before inauguration what the
temperature would be ON the date of
the latter event. There is a painful
recollection of a slip made four years
ago when Chief Willis L. Moore the
day before Inauguration predicted
mckinley weather" of the brightest
kind. The 4th of March opened up
with a snowstorm, hail and rain, and
it was about the nastiest day that had
been experienced in Washington for
years.

Henry Coakley. q gambler desperado,
stripe in that sort of contest where the
slowest to shoot is the quickest to die.
How do all the crooks live? You can
see them any fine day as you go up
Broadway, summing themselves in front
OF the less reputable saloons between
Thirtieth and Forty-second street.
CurIously, these are the limits of most
of the theaters, of a dozen fashionable
florists, of high-class confectioners and
other establishments that cater to
women. The men behave on the whole
rather better than less abandoned char
acters. They like to live in New York
when not busy, and quickly return to the
city after Jobs" 500 or 200 miles away.
There is not enough robbery going ON
in this city to support them all. The
police know them; Byrne's famous
dead line" still keeps them out of Wall
street and the wholesale jewelry district
on Maiden lane. But they have tho
Broadway habit. The lecturer" of the
Seeing New York" coaches will some
times indicate a group of them so that
visitors may look upon them and WON
der.
Somehow, the situation reminds me OF
Tangier, which | ono visited, which is
inhabited by 5000 desperate criminals,
the offscourings of all lands, in a popu-
lation of perhaps $4,000; yet which is an
orderly city, for the criminals have no.
where else to go if they offend against
the Tangier code. So there is only one
New York.

RUBBER SHOES YEARS PAST
Shoe Clerk Tells of Days When This
Glass of Footwear Was
in Vogue.

Andrew Jackson Banta, for 81 years
a shoe clerk in a store in Rochester,
N. T., in commenting the other day on
rubber prices, recalled the interesting
fact, in the Shoe Retailer, that when
he first began life as a shoe clerk the
rubbers worn were of pure gum, and
the soles were a half inch thick.
Il can remember that they looked
just like blocks of wood" said MI.
Banta. They came stuffed with hay
or seagrass. This we had to pull out
and insert a last instead. After being
placed on the last we would varnish
them and place them on the shelves
