and Babies.
 NEW YORK. Sept. 1.--J. E. Martin, proprietor of the Cafe Martin. at Fifth avenue and Twenty-sixth street, ex- poets to hear from President Roose- welt congratulating him on his ex- pressed determination to give S100 bo- nus to each of his employees who shall marry after Sept 1, fifty dollar prize to every employee who has been in his service at least year who shall be come a parent of a child, a $100 prize for twins. $150 for triplets and so on ad inhnltum.
 Mir. Martin has SO notified his force of workers, who number 4OO in the sum mer and nearly thousand in the win ter. This edict takes effect today. Mir. Martin hesitated a little when asked If 1t would be treble bonus for triplets. but ultimately he said sternly:
 'Yes. yes. and that also shall be done"
 'I have just come back from the old country" he explained. There I got the idea. Many factories do that there. for 1t makes the employees steady. They do not run about They have something to work for"
 "In Germany
 "No. m. nO-heavens. no; in France. I think Mir. Carnegie should give S1.OOO where I give s100 and go on. I think that would be better than libraries. All the rich men and the factory people should do this for their employees. It would make them steady. and they would not wander around and drink too much"
 Five engagements have already been made In the cafe Assistant Chef An dre will soon marry Chambermaid Su- Eanne. They will start out with s200.

WRESTLING.
GOOD BOUTS LAST NIGHT
Dan Pickett Again Takes the Laurels From a WeIter- weight-Four Other Ar. tists Did Good Work

The prices were rather high for the wrestling tournament last night down III the Simonsyille Athletic club rooms and for that reason only small crowd was present. At the next tournament which will he held oh Thursday evening of next week, tne prices will be placed within the reach Of all. Manager Joe Lawlor intends to make the contests inter- esting to everybody and despite the Work of some few disgruntled ones. Who are trying to hurt the club. the Slmonsyille Athletic club will be in existence when these same chaps are eatlng snow balls down around New lorK. where they hailed from. The olnlonsYllle Athletic club is catering 10 local or state wrestlers and not t0 some of the craft who find New York fields are barren and they sock to oct m where they know the fields are fer tile. Manager Lawlor will have the support of every true lover of sport Tn this city against strangers who nave just landed in the city looking Tor a few of the long green, which probably they were not afflicted with where they came from.
 The contests last night were all corkers too and everyone a battle to the. finish. The first preliminary brought together young Brazel of the Quaker A. C., and young Smith of the Brooklyn A. c. The latter was a little lighter than his opponent, but the lad put up quite battle and was only thrown at the expiration of twenty-six minutes. Smith was un- able to come out for second bout as he hurt his side in taking the fall.
 The second preliminary proved a surprise for Tommy Fitzgerald of the Goodwill A. c. He agreed to throw Bill Smith of the Brooklyn A. c. twice in one hour but he failed. Try as he would he could not get any advantage over the Brooklyn boy, although he fought him hard. Smith felt proud of his victory.
 The final contest also proved a sur prise and Ivar Sundstrom was the surprised one. Although trained and quietly coached by Swanson he could not fulfill the task laid out for him of throwing Dan Pickett twice in one hour. In fact like others whom Pick ett has wrestled, he met a tartar and he himself came near going down on several occasions for a fall Sund- strom was bigger and heavier in ev- cry way than was the local boy but ths latter is possessed of unusInfl strength and he dashed Sundstrom to the mat on several occasions.
 Sundstrom put up a clever and a fast contest nevertheless and once or twice almost placed the local boys shoulders to the mat but out of every hole slipped Dan, while his friends cheered. In the last fifteen minutes of the contest Sundstrom was all in and simply worked to slave of a fall on himself. It was a clever exhibi- ton all around and both workers de- serve good credit.

BLOWN UP IN MIDAIR.
Professor Baldwin Ennihilnfed Be-
 fore 26.O0O People.


 GREENNILLE. O., Sept. L-Victim of the frightful force he planned to use in staying untold thousands, Professor John E. Baldwin, one of the most dar- ing aeronauts in America, was annihi- lated in midair by the explosion of a half dozen sticks of dynamite he car ried to demonstrate the ease with which an army could be wiped ont by balloonist so armed. He was blown to pieces before the eyes of his wife and two children, who stood in crowd of 25,000 persons 1.5OO feet below him. Mrs. Baldwin saw a great cloud of smoke burst like a bomb in the place her husband and his aerial craft had occupied a second before, and with q scream that startled those around her before they sensed the tragedy enacted far over their heads she fell fainting into the arms of her terrified children. The flash of flame accompanying the explosion was almost invisible in the strong sunshine, but her watchfuI eyes saw it, and in that Instant she realized she was a widow.
 Baldwin was snuffed out of existence even before his wife saw the giant pun of smoke. He carried enough of the explosive to kill hundreds of men. The feature of his performance of late has been the explosion of dynamite at vari- Ous attitudes to prove the effectiveness of a balloon in warfare. It was hIg contention that an aeronaut lowering above an army held the lives of whole divisions in his grasp. All a man ln such position need do, he argued. wna to go high enough to be safe from .hs enemy's missiles. then drop dynamits or bombs made of even higher explo- sives Into the ranks below. In giving bis performance he varied from what be said would be the practice of a mill. tary balloonist by exploding the Btickz at attitudes insuring the safety Of spec. tators The smoke bursts and far away cracks invariably caused sensation.
 Professor Baldwin was thlrty-aix years old and was born in Lostanivllle. Ind He bad been engaged in balloon ascensions for many years and was rs. garded as one of the bravest men ln the business. The feats be dared wlfb parachutes would test the skill and courage of any aeronauf He Wns thought to have few equals. especially In the possession of iron nerve. Why the dynamite exploded prematureiY must remain forever a subject for con lecture. It is supposed be kicked -or trod on one of the sticks when moving about in his car.

BICYCLING
FRANK KRAMER PROVES
 RIGHT TO CHAMPIONSHIP

There was much noise, confusioIl and excitement at Madison Square Garden during the riding of the sec race last night between Frank Kramer. champion of America, and Iver Law son, worlds champion, which was wor, by Kramer. Lawson, who had the pole. won the first heat in spectacular style.
 The positions of the riders were re- versed fin the second heat. At the start Lawson deliberately fouled Kra. mer, forcing him off the track. Kra- mer claimed and was allowed ttsie foul but Lawson 'demurred, and 1t was some minutes before he could be pre- vailed upon to ride the heat over again. When they started the second time, both riders rode foul, and it was decided to call this heat no race, and begin all over again. Five times the riders started before both were satis- fled, and then Kramer won easily.
 The third heat also went to Kramer, who by this time was thoroughly aroused, and jumping into the lead, he held 1t until after the finish line was passed, thus winning the race.
 Willie Fenn won the half-mile pro- fessional race by an inch from John Bedell, who led until within a yard of the finish line. Fenn's sprint was too much for the Long Island boy, and he finished all in. .
 Teddy Ellington defeated large field of amateurs in the half-mile na- tional championship race, beating Matt Downey and Ed Rupprecht by a few inches. This is the second consecutive race Ellington has won.

FlGHT FOR LAST PLACE.

Owing to the clean sweep made by New Haven of the two games with Norwich yesterday, there are two clubs tied for seventh place. or for last, If you want to look at 1t that way. From now on there will be a hard fight be- tween those tail enders for the posses sion of the booby prize, and at the present writing that seems to be the feature of the race" But the same thing is true in the National league. and, strangely enough, the two teams which are thus struggling both begin with the same letter. too. It Is now a good chance for even bets as to whether Norwich, New Haven, Boston or Brooklyn finish in the bottom groove. Shareholders will be easy to find. The standing to-day is as fol iotEe-
