tried to explain the situation, but the
excited fathers and husbands and
mothers who anxious about rela-
tives and friends refused to be paci-
led. A little wonsn dressed in black
broke from the lines after having
waited all night,for a chance to enter
the morgue. She rushed to the door
OF the undertaking establishment and,
as she was pushed back by the police
men. exclaimed: my boy is In there.
You have no right to keep me from
him. I must have him. And VIII
not go home without seeing him"
When the woman rushed forward to
the door again, not knowing what she
was doing, she fell fainting in the
arms Of a big policeman.
At Rolston's morgue, where nearly
$50 bodies lay waiting Identification,
the scenes were equally as dramatic.
There were thousands of people in the
crowd in front of the place and 1t
was with the greatest difficulty that
the police were able to control the
situation. so anxious were the grief
stricken people to gain admittance to
ascertain If their loved ones had
fallen victims to the awful disaster.
At a dozen of other places in the
city where dead had been carried the
same scenes were enacted.
The Irpquois theater disaster was
vastly more destructive to human life
than any other playhouse fire in the
history of the world. The FIRE next to
it in point of lives lost occurred Dec.
s, 1875, in Conveys Brooklyn theater,
Brooklyn, N. Y, where 295 of the audi
ence persisted in the flames.

University of Illinois Issues Circular
Explaining Conditions and
Naming Prizes.

The committee on interscholastic ora
torical contests at the University of Hi
nois has issued a circular calling the
attention of the high schools of the
state TO the 9Th annual interscholastic
Oratorical Contest, to be held at tie
university Friday evening May II.
1905. at O'Clock. the eve of the annual,
| inschoiastic athletic meet. The con-
test is open to all high schools of the
| state, each school being entitled to one
representative.
The university offers three gold med
ais as prizes for excellence in the pre-
paration and delivery of original ora
tons In addition. il announces a sill
yer cup to be competed for annually
The school whose representative wins
first prize at any contest shall have pos

test. The Grafton must not exceed L.
600 words in length, and a copy. type
written. on letter-siZe paper. signed by
a fictitious name or private mark must
be sent SO as TO reach the chairman of
the committee in charge on or before
April /. 1905. Each Grafton must be
principal of the school, that the writer
is bona fide student, and that to the
best of his knowledge and belief. the
Grafton is the independent work of the
writer The full name and address of
the writer should be sent in a sealed
envelope bearing private mark cor

tee on or about April 10. At the time

the committee will be especially glad
TO receive any suggestions from those

the judgment of the writer's. may tend
to increase the efficiency of these con-
tests.

Lewisohn and Gideon.
Jesse Lewisohn has been a big figure
in the betting ring all the year. and in
the last month has been the largest
operator. He alone knows how
to stand on the season. He
won n lot of money at ia
maica, as did his friend. Dave eide
on. They have been together in many
plunges. but for a time they had hard
work bringing home winner. Twelve
years ago Gideon was the wizard of the
betting ring. He had one of the most
powerful stables in the country, and in
conjunction with John DAILY he won a
great fortune, but of late years he has
not been SO prominent E r. Thomas
was a good winner month ago, but is
understood to have lost some of his
winnings recently. For a young mil
lionaire who is practically a newcomer
to the turf he has done far better than
was expected. as it was supposed he
would be an easy bird to pluck.
Big One Day LOSS.
Drake and Gates are said to have
made the biggest one day loss of the
season. When Mr.. Thomas Stalwart
beat Ort Wells Drake and Gates lost
the largest bet they ever made on a
horserace. They tried to recoup on
some other races. but failed, and left
the track 100000 poorer than they
went to it. They had made some mon
ey at Saratoga, but the fall meeting at
Sheepshead was a hard one on them.
Mr.. Gates got tired. but Mr.. Drake held
on, and fortune smiled on him again nj
Norris park.
Early in the year it seemed as if Joe
Yeager was going to be the most spec
tacular figure in the betting ring. He
handled big sums in his book and he
made some sensational plays by which
he won great deal of money. He had
lic Sttii JOCkcN VI tiic COull-
try, under contract and he had useful
stable. but his luck suddenly turned.
Who Has the Money.
With most of the book losers and
most OF the bettOrs losers, the natural
inquiry is: Who has the money? The
public certainly is not a winner. The
public is unprofessional. Only pro-
fessional has a chance in the gambling
business. The kitty has the money.

Arson "SpIf Ball.
You don't want to tell me that
cannot hit a spit ball" said Capt. Adri
an Constantine Arson, the Chicago
baseball veteran. when asked his opin-
ion of the much discussed pitching m
novation. "Of course there are plenty
OF batterS at the present time who are
fooled by a change of pace. and they
must possess the belief that the spit
ball does something wonderful just as
il nears the plate.
When Malachi KitteridSe. the Wash
ington catcher. was here at the Ameri-
can league meeting he visited AZ my
house and tried to convince me of the
terrors of the new discovery. Kit is
fond of taking the opposite side of an
argument. whether he believes in it or
rot, but in this case / will give him
credit for being in earnest. ! was inyit-
ed during the summer to see Jacobsen

have mastered the intricacies OF the
new delivery. perform, but unfortunate
" was unable to accept, and am there
fore free to state that my opinion as
to- its merits is based on my long ex-
perience on the ball field and not from
any actual demonstration by a spit
bali professor. Until get this you
have got 20 show me.
ANY ball player knows that the wet
ter the ball gets the less a pitcher
can do with it. There have been many
fine slow ball pitchers. and Tim Keefe
was one of the best of its opponents.
Grasping the ball with the thumb and
little finger well down on the palm, and
with the three other fingers clear. he
went through the motion of throwing
speedy ball. Without any apparent
rotary motion the ball fioated through
the air. and many were the batsmen it
deceived. There have been hundreds
of games played where the weather
conditions produced just the amount
of wet on the ball that the spit ball
pitchers are supposed to administer.
II may be wrong. but until convinced
to the contrary will continue TO think
that the spit BALI is an old delivery
under a new name and decorated with
some wonderful attributes it does not
possess.
