the Meadozc Brook Hunt.

Hampstead. Long Island. March 20 (Specia).-The
Meadow Brook Hunt held run to-day, in spite
of the unfavorable weather. Eleven couples Of
hounds were used. and after the hunt left the
clubhouse the Hampstead Plains and rode across
the heath to the first cover. the J. w Barnunl
estate. The pack took the scent readily, after
ten minutes trailing up against the wind lost
their quarry in the open fields near East Meadow
Brook.
Another cover was drawn near the Merrick Sta
ton, but the scent proved elusive, and after trail
ing for two miles the fox found refuge in a bur-
row and escaped the pack. AS the hunters had
covered several miles and the ground was nearly
five inches deep in mud, even in the pasture land.
the run called off for the day.
J. w. Forster, thu huntsnan, who Is one OF the
well known gentlemen riders of England. was

MET o7oLlTAN GOLF HANDIcAPs.

Leighton CalkinS. chairman of the Metropolitan
Golf Association handicap committee, said yes
terday that many clubs have sgnifed their in
tention to adopt official handicap table as out
lined by the committee that it had been decided
this plan. In consequence if any club fails to re-
the table for that club will be revised, as required
by the new system Mr. Calkins added that club
secretaries could save the committee a great deal
of work by adopting the system in the first
instance. In explanation of this system he said:
The principal feature it is that not only is the
good player handicapped because he is good
player but the bad player is also handicapped be-
cause ne IS q bad player. The reason is this: The
object OF handcapping is TO put all players the
same level and If an allowance of certain number
OF strokes is to be made to the less Skifu player
because he cannot play as we'll, some allowance
ought to be made to the more Skilful player be-
cause he cannot improve much The usual meth
od' of simply taking the exact difference between
the par" and the average of q players three best
held by the good player-namely, his superior skill.
1t oyerookS the advantage held by the bad player
namely. a greater posi- bthty of improvement. The
oretically, a club handicap list should be made
as any other, but no better, whenever a competi-
ton is held; but handicaps be readjusted
daily, 1t is evident that the chances will really
be equalized unless measure is taken of rela-
fairly well proved by actual results in handicap
events that the scratch player and the player with
a low handicap has not, under the usual methods
of handcapping, good chance to win as the
the system which recommend tends to
make the chances Of all players more nearly equal

he is said to have called w. Howard
Gardner of Camden, IAN excommuni-
Gated member of the church." Rt. Rev.
Robert Goldman, Episcopal bishop Of
Maine. was indicted on the charge of
criminal libel by the grand jury of
Lincoln county, now in session here.
Sometime ago there was internal
trouble in the Episcopal church at
Dresden. Mr. Gardner was interested
in the church at that time, and was
involved in the difficulty. 1t is alleg-
ed by Mr.. Gardner in his complaint
against the bishop, that Rev. Mr. Cod
man wrote a letter to Rev. Mr.. Plant,
then pastor of the Dresden church, in
which he (Gardner) was termed an
"excommunicated member of the Epis-
copal church" Mr.. Gardner asserts
though no longer connected with the
church, that he was never excommuni-
Gated, and that the bishop had no
right to apply that name to him.

"SPOOKS" IN COURT CASE.
Remarkable Defense of Mrs. Weiss at
Iowa City.

IOWA CITY, Iowa, May 9.-Dyna-
mite and "spooks'' are mingled in the
testimony introduced in a strange case
now on trial in the justice court Of F.
P. Horak George B. Holbert, the at
torney VINO won much prominence in
the notorious Holada- -Gallaugher mur-
der case, charges Mrs. Sarah j. Weiss,
a fashionable dressmaker, with threat
ening to kill himself and wife and to
blow up their house with dynamite.
He asks the court to place the woman
under bonds to keep the peace.
Mrs. Weiss admits the threats, but
swears they were conditioned upon the
HoIberts continuing to annoy her. The
ANNOYANCE, she alleges, consists Of the
exercise of witcncraft and magical
spiritual powers, whereby there are
tanpings at her windows; nocturnal
playing on her piano, etc. These man.
ifestations disturb her slumbers AMI
torture her nerves, she AYERS.
Aside from this startling hallucina-
tions. Mrs. Weiss seems perfectly
sound mentally, and the remarkable
defense she is making attracts much
attention.

DRIVEN FROM HIS CHURCH
Accused of Criminal Relations With
Member of Congregation.

BARRON, Wis, May 9.-Two weeks
charge of Cora Studebecker, a married
woman, that Rev. G. w. Morton, pas
tor of the Baptist church, and also
married, had criminally assaulted her
while she was doing janitor work in
the church. Many discredited the story
on account of their profund faith in
the good character of Mr. Morton.
When delegation of the members
of his church went to him for an ex-
planation, he denied having assaulted
the woman, but did not deny that he
had been criminally intimate with her.
1t is said ne paid her hush money, and
then he resigned and took the first
train to Chicago. His wife sold all her
household goods and followed MIN.
His excuse to her for resigning his po-
sition was that his relatives were dis
satisfied with his work.
By hard and diligent work he had
made a wonderful improvement in the
Baptist church in two years. A $1,000
parsonage had just been completed,
and he had moved into it.
Time was set for hearing ana Mr..
Morton was duly notified to appear
and defend himself. Rev. D. w. HUI
bert of Wawatosa, Wis, came to con-
duct the examination, but instead OF
appearing Mr.. Morton wrote letter
in which he practically admitted hav-
ing been criminally intimate with Mrs.
Studebecker but denied having used
force. He was then promptly expelled
from the church.
He also stated that the woman told
him she would make the matter. public
if he did not pay her certain amount
of money, which was far more than he
was able to pay. 1t is generally be-
lieved that Mrs Morton went away
from here none the wiser as to the real
cause of her husbands sudden depart
ure.
Mrs. Studebecker is sister to
"Coxey' Burns the ballplayer, who was
shot and killed by Bob Walker last
summer. Her husband left her sew
eral years ago. She was a member of
the Baptist church and employed as
it's janitor. 1t is said that she is in a
fr1v
