ATHLETIC GAMES IN SYRIA
The Customs Of the OrientaIs Are Un-
dergoing Gradual Trans
formation.

Oriental peoples are very averse Il
physical exercise OF any kind, say
the World To-Day. Their idea of en-,
1oyment is to sit under an awning anC
play backgammon. That man should
go out and run around a track il
shameless nakedness, and this with Q
hope Of gain, only confirms them in
the belief that all Americans are
mad. But they are initiative people
and years ago the influence and exam
pie OF the younger teachers got few
Of the preparatory boys out for foot
races That day, for Beirut, at least,
the death blow was struck to the pic
turesque dress of the orient. You
can't run 100-yard dash with long,
baggy drawers and silk gumbez that
tlops around your ankles. Even If
you "gird up the loins," by tucking
your skirts into the sash, the effect is
more startling than speedy. So, one by
one, the students ordered trousers
from the city tailors. At first they
were poorly cut, and viewed with sus-
picion: but to-day there are not three
men in the collegiate department who
wear the old costume, and many Of
the students dress with taste and an
elegance that their professors cannot
afford to emulate.
Tennis and basketball soon won
their place In the students favor, and
now we have gymnastic apparatus and
a regular graduated athletic director.

WORLD'SF FAIR
MISREPRESENTED
The Great Exposition is Worthy
a Visit From all Who Can
Possibly Go.

Mark Bennitt, the courteous manag-
er Of the Press bureau at ST. Louis, in
a letter with reference to erroneous
reports about St. Louis and the Worlds
fair closes with the following.
st. Louis, seems also to have been
given a bad name on account OF its
heat in summer ] have spent two
entire summers here and have found
the city no hotter than several New
York and Illinois cities in which I
have spent the SUMMER months. If
one viii dress in the lightest clothing
and 60 about moderately he need not
suffer. The nights are generally cool,
the wind blowing from the south. The
temperature rarely goes above 30 and
then only at midday for periods usually
less than week, cool spells alternat-
ing with warm ones throughout the
summer All the large Exposition
buildings are 60 to IS feet to the roofs,
well ventilated and cool.
Artesian ice-water is supplied at
hundreds Of drinking places through
out the grounds by means Of automatic
penny-in-the-slotmachines Free drink
ing places are found in the state and
many other buildings. The preyari-
Gator who said he paid ten cents for
glass Of water must have put a dime
in the penny machine or tipped
waiter
The cost Of living in st. Louis is
about the same as in other cities Of
the middle west Visitors find COM
Portable lodgings everywhere within
easy distances Of the Worlds Fair at
one dollar per night per person for
lodgings, usually two in a room: often
a cheaper place may be found. Meals
are 25 cents and upward Inquiry at
a grocery or drug store viii usually
enable visitors TO find good places
quickly
Intending visitors to the Worlds
Fair may secure much information
from the railroad ticket Offices and a I
good knowledge Of the general plan Of !
The Exposition and its leading features
viii save much time upon arrival at
he grounds,
The publication Of such Of the fore
yoing facts as may seem best to you /
vii help to correct some Of the mis-
eading statements about ST. Louis
md the Worlds Fair that have been
yantonely circulated. II may also in
iuence many persons TO avail them
elves Of this opportunity Of a lifetime

-enius here gathered in orderly array, II
Who otherwise might be dissauded from

There are number Of reasons as

le first place the clerks naturally be-

luse is that, when the office was

FOUNDRY IRON ADVANCING.
One Birmingham Concern Is Holding
for $1,000 for No. 2.

birmingham. Ala. Oct. 20.-One iron
manufacturing company in the Birming-
ham district has already asked 5000 per
ton for their No. foundry iron and will
hold for that price. 1t has been but a
little over "a week that an advance of 81
ceEts per ton on No. . foundry iron. from
$3.50 to SO, was announced. 1t is learned
that with the exception of about 50,0Gl
tors in the yards of one of the larger
manufacturers there is not so much iron
to be had in this district Gray forge iron
is said to be holding at 1915 per ton. the
best price for that grade of the product
which has prevailed for several months.
1t is stated that in iron circles that one
company has put aside 10000 to 5000
tons of pig iron to be held until quota
tons go up to 81 per ton No. , foundry.
If the pace taken up in the price contin-
ueS there is no reason why the 81 rate
should not he reached before Dec. l..
The local consumption, especially at the
cast iron pipe plants is heavier than it
has been in ten months, and the deliver
les being made right at home by the
manufacturers are something extraordi-
nary. 1t is said that an official an
nouncement of another 20 cents advance
in iron quotations will be made III few
days. All sale agents of iron manufact-
urlng companies of this district have
been notified not to sell without confer
ring with the general offices.

THE TEXTILE WORKERS
Consider Several Resolutions in Ses-
sion at Lowell.

Lowell, Mass, Oct. 20.-The United
Textile Workers, today, considered
several resolutions. the most important
of which was a resolution affecting tn Z,
question of immigration.
The resolution was as follows:
Whereas, the great and increasing
immigration of people to our country
from the continent of Europe will. I'M
less restricted, terd to lower the stand :
ard of living of the American worker.
BE it resolved, that we urge upon
our representatives IN Congress to en-
act laws that will restrict the indis-
criminata and wholesale immigration
TO our shares"
This resolution was unanimously
adopted by the convention.
A resolution calling for the appoint
ment OF permanent organizers from
the American Federation of Labor was
adopted. A resolution offered by Rep
resentative Jackson of Fall River, that
no officer OF tie exile Workers Union
after accepting the electin to "A union
office, was reported adversely. The
New Bedford weayers, replying to the
telegram sent, yesterday, which offered
them chance to appear before the
convention and state their case with
reference to secession, announced that
they would be present if their expenses
Wer paid by the convention. 1t was de-
cided that the convention had no power
to pay such expenses, and the New
Bedford union remains outside.
A resolution was adopted applying to
the American Federation of Labor for
the appointment of a permanent or
ganiZcr to work among the textile
workers. Resolutions were submitted
asking the loom fiXers and mule spin
ners of Lawrence to use their good Of
| fees to organize the weavers of Law
| renee and this was referred to the ex-
| ecutive committee.
At tn Afternoon session the secretary
was instructed to correspond with Pres
| ident Gompers Of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor to the effect that an
| other assessment be placed upon the
! two million members of the American
Federation Of Labor to aid the Fall
River strikers.
| After the close of the days sessions
at O'Clock, many of the delegates left
for Lawrence on invitation of the Law
renee Textile Unions to a reception in
that city, this evening.

boistcrous passage through the CUR or
Mexico and up the Florida coast, but
came through without damage. Soon
after leaving Galveston she encoun-
tered y fierce northeast gale which con-
tinued during the entire trip across
the gulf. Another gale of even greater
violence prevailed for two days While
the steamer was working along the
Florida coast. 1t was in this storm
probably that the wrecked schooners
