So. yesterday when a newspaper representative was assigned to go in the rooms of Prof Weber, the astrolo- ger and clairvoyant, to investigate the wonderful stories that have been told of him and to also establish whether his advertised claims were genuine or not, the reporter felt that he was go- ing up against good story. in which the exposure of fakir would be the theme.
 When the professor came into the room the newspaper man was imme- diately attracted by his appearance. He bears some of the earmarks of the charlatan but impresses you with hls scholarly bearing and perfect deport- ment. He ushered the newspaper man into his conference room and the first word he said to the scribe was to ask him to write him up exactly as he found him to be. If he was quack, To say so-all that he asked was for q square deal He bade the visitor to first write the name Of himself. his mother and father on pieces of paper and also to write four inquiries on matters in which the scribe was most interested. He bade the reporter to do this writing after he left the room and as soon as he had written the seven notes to ring bell and he would return. The scribe was to first hold the papers and put them in his vest pocket. The professor walked out of the room and after the reporter had written the notes and placed them in his pocket he rang the bell Professor Weber walked in, bid his visitor place the writing. one at a time, against his forehead and then very succinctly he tc d the reporter what was written on the different papers, which includes the name O. himself and parents and other matters which were entirely un- known to any one else than the re- porter. The professor not only an swered them all correctly, but went into events in the reporters life in line with the inquiries that was truly amazing.
 The reporter left the professor con- vinced that he was man of wonder ful power of some kind. either that of telepathy, clairvoyance pr astrology, but whatever it was he showed" the reporter, who is willing to vouch for the mysterious powers possessed by the professor.
 Ladies need feel no hesitancy in visiting Prof Weber, as Madam Weber meets all callers in the reception par Tor. Hours, 93v a. m. to D. m, daily and Sundays, at Hotel Morris, near union lepot, rooms IA and 16, one flight ladies entrance or take elevator.

MISS DOD LOSES
 TO AN AMERICAN
MISS PAULINE MACkAY COVERS
 HERSELF WITH GLORY BY DE- HEATING ENGLISH GOLF CHAM PION IN WOMAN'S TOURNAMENT

Philadelphia. October 11.-Miss Char 1otte bod, the English premier golfing ex- pert, met with defeat today at the hands of Miss Pauline Mackay of the Oakley Country club of Boston, on the first days play of the womans national golf cham pionship by up and l to play. Miss Mackay is young golfer, and although it was not by brilliant golf, the victory was none the less popular. By the defeat Miss bod is out of the championship.
 Miss Mackays victory was due to her ability to take advantage of Miss bod s mistakes The result was in doubt up to the seventeenth hole. at which point Miss Mackay was up on her distinguished opponent. Miss Mackay's opening drive for the seventeenth hole was at least ITO yards and the phere rolled within two yards of the cup. Miss bod followed, but sclaffed her tee shot. The ball landed on the far edge of the bank. She played her second short, and her approach putt land- ed her yard from the hole. Miss Mackay then took the hole in two more strokes and won the match.
 The cards of the match follows;
 Miss Mackay, out 555 S65 45i-47.
 Miss Dod, out 664 565 557-49.
 Miss Maekay, in 566 575-63.
 Miss Dod in 665 456-64.
 Hardly less surprising than Miss bod s defeat was the victory of Mrs E. S. San ford of Orange over Miss Harriet Curtis of Essex county. The latter stood up at the turn, but Mrs. Sanford gradually drew up on her opponent. and the match was all square at the eighteenth hole. Mrs. Sanford won the extra hole by 5 to G.
 Miss l.. Vanderhoef. who, with Miss Curtis and Miss bod, was tied for the best score of the stroke play, was the only one who survived todays struggle.
 Miss r. c. Griscomb, the former cham pion in the tournment, won her match by default.
 The survivors for tomorrow's play are made up of eight golfers, hailing from the Boston district, three each from Phil adelphia and New York and two from Chicago.

Perhaps the most skeptical people alive are the men who are connected with the news end of daily paper. They see so much of the other side of life and are thrown necessarily in con tact with frauds and impostors of all kinds that they are always inclined to look upon any one with suspicion until they are satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that they are straight. In other words, they are from Missouri and you have to show them.

TRACK WAS VERY HEAVY

Lexington, Ky, October 11.-Tom Ak worthy, prohibitive favorite, captured the McDowell stake for four -year-old trotters worth 5000, in the first heat of a three-heat race today and by distanc- ing the only two other starters took first, second and third money. It was feat never before accomplished in a stake race on the Lexington track.
 The track was very heavy. Tom Ak worthy drew the pole in the Mcdowell race, but the nearest he could get to the fence on account O. the mud puddles, was two sulky wiatns. No pools were sold on him before the race, and the betting was Tom Axworthy 1 to D. Lady Pauline C., and Oak Blossom were six to one each. The horses got away in bunch after the second scoring with Tom Ak worthy slightly in the lead. Ills two rivals broke at the very start and lost about ten lengths in reaching the first quarter. Tom Axworthy continually in creased the distance between himself and them, and had a lenE.n to spare at the wire before the distance flag caught them. The time was 2:14 which on the heavy track was not considered slow. Unfinished 2:16 trotdng, $l0O0 in 5 heats:
