new SCHOOL OF TENNIS PLAYERS SCORE
PRONOUNCED TRIUMPH IN CHAMPIONSHIPS


Beals wrixht OF Boston. national tennis
chAmoson q America. WOn his lauselS By
beating former Champion Holcombe Ward
bis longtime partner In doubles. for the
title 1t Newport last week. Mr. Wright
- teft-nanded. covers a lot Of ground and
pIavs the aggressive. forcing game which
has become 50 successful in the past year.
His style b dashinx and aggressive. IA.
ther than careful and safe. as that Of
the game and whom Wright beat easily at
Newport.
Krei9h Collins has won the Western
and nine times out Of ten actual tries.
He did not compete tW0 years and vas
beaten IN the finals on another occasion.
Great things we're expected Of him At
Newport. but he failed to come vp TO ex.
ptcfatiOns. He Was not In form. Al Gin
clEnett last week he gave Mr.. Wright q
terrific struggle for the trista;e champion
ship. but lost.
Wright did splendid work for the Amer
Ward. whom he dsposed sa American
champion. bes0 At all as gOct; man when
the Americans were N England. there u
not any doubt that the Davis Cup doubles
would have gone 10 the invadsrs. Ward
was unsteady. however. and the cup
stayed In England.
Collins is a very fast and brilliant play.
er. He had n lot Of hars: luck in his
games with Wright at Cincinnati. Yet
drove the champion to the limit to beat
him In sixteen sets. Collins found IL hard
Of his best drives Just did hit III. netting
and dropped hack. Had his line drives and
net balls gone safe he would have beaten

In the fall Of 1886 Nelson came TO

On the finance question he donned a

A Man Who Sells His Vote.

In his retiring message the governor
of Indiana declares that "the statistics
of political debauchery in his State in
1904, if it were possible to present
them, would be astounding"
He asserts that there is an Indiana
county, casting 5000 votes, in which
200 voters are regularly listed as
purchasable," and says: "Our present
need is legislation framed in the light
of a clearer conception of the enormity
of the offense involved in the purchase

Indiana has been for years politi.
cal BATTLE ground, with the great part
les so near equal in strength that con-
tests for power are. unusually close.
Under such circumstances the tempta-
tion TO use illegimate methods are
great, and the venal voter becomes of
undue importance.
Every community is more or less
tainted with the man who sells lis
vote, but the commonness of the Of
fense does not Lesson its enormity.
Governor Durbin has done we'll to
speak out boldly against it, and to
point out to the people of Indiana thu
public dangers they tolerate in failip g
resolutely to drain the marshes of pub

Of the enormity of the offense there
can be no question. The man who
sells his vote is unworthy of the name

A SUGGESTION.
To the Daughters OF the Confederaey

1t seems 10 be the avowed purpose of the
Daughters TO erect monument 70 the Confed
crates from .Abbeville County. Would IL not
be better to build q Memorial Hall? It could
be done for the same amount that II will take
to build a respectable monument. By follow
ing this plan you will build both for the liv--
ing and the dead. You will need lot 40x100
bought at very reasonable figure, and II ron
have as much az thousand dollars on hand
you might commence building now. When
this building is completed you would have q
home where you could hold your entertain
ments and secure funds to finish payment.
On the walls Of such q ball would be ample
room to place the names of every Confederate
soldier from the County, In such hall you
could place library filled with Southern IT.
erature, In such hall you could place the rel
les of bygone battles, or any memento Of the
Lost Cause.
BY adding one-.third more to the cost It In
probable that you could build q ball above for
the Masons, and for such comfortable ana
perm snent home no doubt they would be will
Ing to pay handsome rental, and this would
also help pay :or the building. ..-.. $.
You have done we'll and deserve the highest
commendation, and, II your hearts are Get on
a monument, IT is All right, you will build 1t.
Think about Memorial Hall and compare
1t with a marble shaft A hall which you can
look on as home, place where you can gath
together all the literature. and all the relics
TO that great struggle that touches
US all so deeply, place where you can coin
memorate the deeds Of our heroes just as ef-
fectively as on the marble shaft, place that
offers netter opportunities OF perpetuating
their history than would q shaft as high as
the Washington Monument =. ,-

Bourke Cochran and Washington
Gardner, of Michigan, were having it
hot and heavy yesterday in the House
over the proposed increase of teachers
salaries in this city. Gardner stood
for $500 salary as adequate in certain
cases. "Why," said he, II know
stenographers and college graduates in
some parts Of this land who are glad
to get as much as that"
"Where is that placer" inquired
Cochran, cynically.
"Out in Michigan" Numbered
Gardner.
"Oh, well," replied the urbane New
Yorker, "that's unknown country"
"Ah, yes," continued the Michigan
man, Hbut you stumped out there in
the last campaign. I noted that
wherever you spoke the Republican
majorities were increased in Novem-
ber." -,
(which is an argument" retorted
Cochran, not to be outdone, proving
that Michigan is not up to her oppor'
tunities. ."-Washington Post.

Russia's Loss and Japan's Gain.

The following is biief statement Of
what Japan has gained and Ruasia
lost in the operations in and around
Port Arthur as summed up in the
New York Press:
'Russia has lost seven bottle-ships
and the other complement of a fleet
worth something near 500, 100000.
Russia is driven forever out of the
Yellow Sea, and the fond realization
of warm-water port for the Russia
Empire has been dissipated.
Russia has lost the fine modern
city of Dalny, on which when hostil-
tiles broke out she had spent $125, ,000,-
600, and Japan owns this rich prize of
war.
"Russia has lost, and Japan has
gained, one of the most elaborately
constructed fortifications in the world,
stretching from Liao promontory nine
and one-half miles to Golden Hill and
