GLEN WARNER IS
 A TRICKY COACH,

Cornell has made a wise move in making Glen Warner head footbal coach, With abso. ute authority to sA lect the varsity eleven on its merjss. Warmer is an out and out profes sional coach, hiving received a salary for coat hfrg the Car fisle Indiins for vev- eral seasons. He will rsc i've pay from Corr. ell and will be in the same relative position that Courtney, the rowing coach. is. Warner has always at'ro c.ed atten don in the footl all world. and his work with the Indian was Tatticularly noteworthy for the invention of several clever tricks The wing shift was one of them. and last fall another was sprung when rcd skin tucked the ball ur- der the back of his jersey and made a long run before his opponents knew what was up. If Warmer could make winners out of green Indians, it is believed that he can turn the tsda at Itfaca, where tfere is album dant material of high quality.

THE PUGILISTs.
JEFFRIES LIKES
 JACK nUNROE.
He Wants Him to Beat Sharkey for Several ReasOns-How Horses Box in England--NOtes

Jim Jeffries is playing a favorite in the coming fight between Tom Snar- key and Jack Munroe.
 Munroe is the favolite.
 It isn't that the champion is playing the miner to win. As to the possible victor he has no choice. In his opin- are with Munroe. He would like to see M1nroe beat Sharkey.
 He has promised, and will keep his word, to give the winner of this mill chance at the championship.
 It is only natural that, for both btsi- ness and sentimental reasons, he would rather meet Munroe again than Shar- key.
 Jeffries and Munroe would draw a bigger house than would Jeffries anu Sharkey.
 Jeffries has beaten the sailor; Nun roe has a decision over him.
 It would be no added feather in the cap of the Schamp.on to once more de feat man already his victim. But to wipe out that Munroe affair at Butte would be balm indeed to the Jef- fries soul.
 Then in San Francisco, where they must fight, Munroe $ well lik d Sharkey has repeatedly urged against his going to the coast to show, and his objections must be based on objections there to him.
 All this is the reason that Jeffries Is roofing for Munroe to beat sharkey when the two fight it out in Philadel phia on the night of February 27.

Horses Who Fox.

Horse boxing has become the latest fad of London. It has taken the place at once of the ,cakewallz and the cir GUS. Every night thousands of per sons go to Covent Garden, where two splendid Arab horses put up as spirited and interesting fi@tic, or, rather. pedal. bout as IS to be seen in any rored arena in England.
 The equine boxers are led into a large square inclosure where the'r fore feet are. wrapped with heavy bags, which when adjusted. look very much like boxing gloves. Then, at a word from their seconds, they leave their corners and walk to the center Of the ring. There they rise on their hind legs and with their gloved fore legs held out as arms begin the fray.
 Like two scientific knights of the padded mitts.'' trey srar for openings. and then full swings jolts. jabs and 1Ipperc1,ts follow in lightning succes- sion. The horses seem to enter. thor o11ghlv, into tue thing, and the spec-a- tor goes away convinced thar the equine bout was much more in earnast than many of those seen in the prize ring.
 Tn snar~ing. the horse has not only tn think about the eject of his pedal blows on his opponent. He nn1rst also consider their effect on himself, 1est he lose his ba1ance and t0pnla over ,hackward wild swing sends him on all fo1rrs. while n well planted blow upon his opponent will send him roll ing on his side.

 Sixteen Thousand Albanaans Oppose
 Reform Plans.
 CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 1S.-Six- teen thousand Albanians are in revolt in the district of Diakova against the reform plans of the powers for Mace donia and obnoxious taxes. Tn conflicts which have taken place between All banians and Ottoman troops the latter were worsted. Large re-enforcements have been dispatched to Diakova. The Albanians attacked the town of Dia- kova and plundered and burned a number of houses. Turkish forces sub- sequently attacked the insurgents main position at Babajhosi, but were repulsed, with heavy loss.
 Feverish activity continues among the Turkish authorities on the Buiga- rian frontier in accommodating stores and repairing roads for the expected massing of troops.s
 Diakova (also spelled Jakova) is in the province of Ipek. The town of Di- akova is situated eighteen miles north west of Prizren. The population num- bers 25,000 souls, and 80 per cent of the population consists of Albanians. Shemsi Pasha, with 2,500 Turkish troops and three guns, is reported to be besieged by 10000 Albanians at Ba- bajhoM. between Diakova and Ipek. The Turks are said to be without food and water and to have already lost 100 men. ys Strong endorsements under Shakin Pasha are hurrying to the relief of Shemsi Pasha.

-Four years ago when the attention
of the world was centered so wildly
upon affairs in the Far East, at time
when the forces of the allied powers
were subduing the Boxers, one man,
Count Won Waldersee, Field Marshal
of the forces of the Powers, was very
actively before the public.
Won Waldersee has always been in
teresting to Americans because of the
fact that he married an American girl
who has exerted more influence in Eu-
ropean politics than any other woman
of the German nation. She was Mary
Esther Lee when she went with her
widowed mother to Stuttgart There
she fascinated Prince Frederick of
Schleswig- Holstein, who renowned his
title to marry her. This was in 1864.
The Prince was over seventy years of
age and his bride was but twenty-six.
They made trip to the Holy Land,
and there, six months after the mar
riage, the Prince died, leaving a for
tune of about four million dollars to
the young widow. Soon after the
death of Prince Frederick, the En-
peror of Austria made his widow
title of Princess Won Noer From that
time she became a conspicuous figure
in Europe, but in political rather than
in social circles. She is credited with
having brought about the marriage be-
tween the German Emperor, who was
then Prince William of Prussia, with
the Princess Augusta Victoria, her
grand niece by her first marriage, in
the face of the protestations of the
young Princes mother. The Princess
Won Noer became the Countess Won
Waldersee two years after the death
of her first husband. She is six years
younger than the Field Marshal but
is still considered a very beautiful
woman. Count Won Waldersee leaves
no children.
Count Won Waldersee entered the
Prussian army in 1850. He served in
the campaigns of 1866 and 1870. He
was aide-de-camp to the King of Prus-
