Favor Whipping Post

Washington, Dec. 15-Presi
dent Roosevelt favors a whip
ping post in the District of Co.
lumbia for wife heaters.
Representative Adams of
Pennsylvania called upon the
president yesterday to confer
with him about his bill for
whipping post. II talked with
the president about my bill, >"
said Mr. Adams, and he told
me he was heartily in favor of
the measure. He advised me
to 60 ahead with it and push it
all could"
1t is not argued that there are
more wife heaters in Washing.
ton than else where, but that
the capital should set a sum-
mary example to the country
by its vigorous treatment of
cruel husbands
Teddy doesn't go quite as far
as the DEMOCRAT does and has
for years. We would like to see
a whipping post established for
petty offenders. who often want
warm quarters and three feeds
a day. Why not one and there
by save expenses and taxes
and have at least one thing at
the same time, that man is real
ly afraid of.

Kiss Album Latest Fad.

London, Dec. ia clever
young Kensington woman, miss
Evans, has devised a new kind
of autograph album that is
likely to be popular. 1t is con-
trived so as to enable the young
woman not only to collect the
autograph signatures of her
friends, but to preserve also the
imprints of their kisses.
The book equipped with a
little pad f soluble carmine-
tinted substance upon which
the lips frs are lightly pressed
so as to take up little of pig
ment.
Then the Kiss is imprinted up
on the page IN space provided
for the purpose, leaving a clear
carmine record of the pressure
OF the lips. SV the sue Vi tue
kiss print space is another for
the autograph and the date and
together the kiss and the sigma.
ture make a precious and init
mate keepsake.
1t is really marvellous what
a lot of character there is in
KISSES" says Miss Evans.
People who are not students
of the subjects have no idea
how they vary. You know nc
two persons have finger prints
alike, and so no two persons
kisses are the tiniest bit alike.
Il have 200 in one album and
there is not one of them thai
you could possibly mistake fol
any other, The kiss prints lool
like kisses, too"

Bought the Presidency.

According o a Washington
newspaper, which prints a long
statement about the expendi-
lures of Chairman Cortetyou in
1904. the Republican national
committee used the sum of
81, 800. 600 10 elect Roosevelt
and Fairbanks, and had in
bank when the campaign was
ended, about 100000
1t is shown that Chairmau
Cortelyou had 5000, 900 less
than Chairman Hanna had in
1900. and nearly $2,000.0C0 less
than Hanna had in 1896
1t is also declared to be a
fact that the Democratic nation.
al committee in 1892, when the
election was bought for bull
necked Cleveland the second
time. had a fund exceeding any
thing known in American poll
tics before that time. the sum
of 50, 100000
Chairman Cortelyou, accord
ing to this article, turned over
to state committees In New
York. New Jersey, West Vir
glnia, Massa chusetts. Connect
cut, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin
and Nevada the sum of $500, 900.
No estimate is given as to the
amount that was expended in
New York by the national com.
mittee through Governor Odell,
but it must have been largely
in excess of 5000, 600.
This article shows conclusive
ly that Bryan would have been
elected in 1896 had it not beer
for the Republican Doodle and
corruption fund of 50, 800, 900
with which men were bought
and herded up to the polling
places like hogs to market. The
election" of Mr., Mckinley il
| 1896 was the most collossa
fraud ever perpetrated upor
the American people.

WRESTLING. JIM PARR
 LOST MATCH
He Got But One Fali From Jim Barnes in Springfield Last Night - It Was a Gruelling Match.

Springfield, Oct 12.-Jim Barnes did his best wrestling since establishing ir Springfield when he held off Jim Parr of Buffalo last night, the English light heavyweight champion failing in his contract to throw Barnes twice 1T. an hour. Parr gained fall in 39 minutes 1O seconds, but was unable to repeat
 A big crowd saw the most exciting match ever contested in the city. For the first 39 minutes 20 seconds, up to the time when Parr gained forward Nelson from which he put Barnes on the mat, the crowd was forced to cheering on many occasions. Both men showed the highest class of skill. That Parr was able to show some remarka- ble work which Barnes deftly made useless as a means of gaining a fall, is decided boost for Barnes, who was never faster or more elusive than last night
 Parr didn't waste time in beginning work. He tried for a half Nelson at the end of 10 minutes and apparently had secured the hold, when Barnes cleyerly wriggled away and worked from behind his man. At 15 minutes Parr was going fast and forcing Barnes out all the time Some scissors holds which Parr tried to put into play were not producers of discomfort for Barnes, the Springfield favorite al ways getting away just in time to avoid the Englishman in his attempts to fol low up the tries for winning holds
 Falling In an attempt to weaken Barnes by kneading the local idols stomach with his knuckles, Parr got exceedingly rough. After the English man had introduced the game Barnes fell readily into it and both men did more actual punishing than is meted out during the course of ring contest. Parr was hissed, but Referee George V. Touhey of Boston announced that 1t was no parlor sport and that the work was all legitimate.
 Precipitation was pouring from both men in the next ten minutes up to the half hour. Parr was evidently deter mined to gain, if possible, one fall in 80 minutes. This program wasn't sanctioned by Barnes. The local Jim bridged and resorted to some spectacu. lar head spins in avoiding Parr.
 The speed with which the wrestlers were working keyed up the crowd and there was much enthusiasm. At the end of 39 minutes and 20 seconds Parr had gained one fall, using a forward Nelson. Both men were weary from the severe strain when they went of the mat "a Inzthe final period ef-2o;min ttes ands4U seconds, in which Parl tried to gain second fall, Barnes showed agility which put him out oi danger on several occasions.
 Paris skill in using his legs in gain, Ing holds was almost discounted by Barnes's wonderful ability in making use of his legs to break strong holds Parr mussed up Barnes's face and a discolored eye resulted from the maui ing. Parr worked savagely in the closing minutes. and twice within the closing five minutes Barnes wriggled out of difficult situations. Cheers for Barnes and lots of enthusiasm followed Referee Touhey's announcement of Barnes as winner.

INeqo York Giants RebeaI Their Record of I88'

For the first time since he eighties New York city possesses baseball nine that has proved it's ability to win the championship not only onfe. but repeat 1t. E
 The last time this happetd was in 1880, when the Giants adde 1 second championship to their credipfter win ming the flag in 1888. I'm was six teen years ago. but a coma as com pared with century, butan age as baseball fights are reckone
 Just about one year ag after the Giants had won the champnship, Will Dahlen, the New York shdstop, made prediction. He said: "Wll win that flag second time sure, bl we'll have a harder fight for 1t thauve did this year. What will make ustronger In 1905 will be the experiee that we have had as a team this sson. Pitts lburg will play better ballnotler year. land so will Chicago anPhiladelphia and Cincinnati"
 That was a tolerablysood offhand prediction. The shortstofell down on Chicago and Cincinnatlbut he was right so far as PhlIadella and Pitts burg are concerned.

THE DIAMOND.
RAIN WAS
 THE VICTOR
New York 9 Phi ladelphia Could Not Play Yesterday Results of Games in Other Series.

Philadelphia, Oct. 12-There was a pause in the worlds championship baseball series yesterday, the weather gods being out of humor. Intermit- tent showers of fine rain from noon on made the game doubtful at all times, but for all that 5000 persons went to the ball park hoping that a game might be squeezed in some way. Both the New York and Philadelphia teams did little practicing but not for long as gusts of bIowy rain drove them to cover.
 McGraw had Wiltse and Taylor warming up as possible twirlers, while Coakley unlimbered his arm for the | Athletics. Meanwhile those on the un- | covered seats were kept busy raising and lowering umbrellas and the bleachers resembled field of big. black mushrooms. Socks" Seybold, the Philadelphia right fielder, walked across the field to the bench under the protection of an umbrella, the onls ball player extant to use an umbrella in the field. bA
 The crowd yelled play ball as o'clock came and went and was eager for the fray. McGraw and Captain Lave Cross consulted with the un- pires, Sheridan and O'Day, and the two latter walked out on the diamond to feel it's pulse as it were. Sheridan l then walked to the grandstand and announced:
 Ladies and gentlemen, as there is considerable importance attached to this series and the grounds are pretty wet to-day's game has been called 1 off"
 The last part of the announcement was drowned in chorus of protests, but as a steady rain set in few min utes later the game could not have been played anyway. 1t was wise to declare the game off.
 Coakley will probably pitch for the Philadelphias to-day and it is thought McGraw will use Mathewson, but Mac keeps his intentions very largely to himself. The day of rest will be good for both pitching staffs particu- | larly for Plank, Connie Mack's star southpaw, who was a bit worn when the series began and not averse to a rest.
 The New York players did not re- | IurH to trOIudlu ldst IlSht do thS Pip | gram is to play to-day's game here and Friday and Saturday in New York. The cranks hope to see game of more hitting than either of those player, free hitting game that will ] calio for fast fielding A feature,rof the games to date has been the coni- paratively little work the outfeld has had to do. So far the New Yorks lead in total hits. with IA to 10. have made three errors to four for the Philadel- phias and have surpassed the latter in base stealing.
 It Is estimated that out of the pro ceeds of the two games played about S17OOO goes to the players. At this rate there will be comfortable nest egg to be divided among them. It would not be surprising, In view Of yesterday's postponement, if the series | extended into next week. Such will he the case unless one team wins the next three.
