The Creatures Very Strong and Fierce Separating Young from Mother Very Hard to Capture
 and Crate.

AS soon as the camera, broken in my efforts to dodge the savage buffalo, had been mended, we were ready to con- tinue our work of photographing the buffalo cows and their calves at Corbin park. As we entered the buffalo yards, l was interested to note the effect which a narrow escape I had had the day before had had on my nerves I was just as determined to get the photo graphs, and in a sense I felt no more fear than before, but I was fully con- sSous that change had taken place in the condition of my nerves, and that my heart was beating faster than usual when I went out to take the portrait of certain tawny calf. I had another rather close call that day, but not so close one as had Morrison, the buf- falo man, who was helping me, and whose picture I got as he was shin ming over fence, with an angry COW buffalo just below, foied in her best intentions of helping him over that

PRACTICAL ROAD BUILDING.
The Subject Is Being Given Con- sideration at Ohio State
 University.

The question of improving public highways is one of general interest in Ohio at the present time The numer- ous bills introduced in the last legis- lature for the improvement of public roads showed plainly that it is becom- ing a generally recognized fact that one of the most important questions for the state is to provide better pub
 lie highways. The national govern ment has recognized the importance of this subject and in the department of agriculture has established an office of public road inquiry, of which Hon. Martin Dodge of Ohio, is director. Limited appropriations have been made to this office to assist in building "object lesson" roads in different parts of the country. Last summer an appli- cation was made by the Ohio state un- versity for an object lesson road to be built upon it's campus. The appli- cation was granted and piece of road, S35 feet long and IS feet wide, has just

After inspecting the metropolis in Seeing New York" automobile, it is the correct thing of Sunday to hunt up Dr. Parkhurst's or some other church made famous by the public prints.
 There is one church in New York concerning which I can offer testimony that it is still crowded to the doors on both Wednesday and Sunday evening" so crowded that the church goers are accustomed to hurry in fear of not get ting a seat This is the Christian Sci ence church, of which Mrs. Stetson is the leading spirit It is the most pala- tial church in New York, excepting only St. Patrick's cathedral. It cost s1,270,0o0, and is a beautiful example of architecture within and without. The service is simplicity itself. On Wednesday evening much of the time is given up to testimonies s"-tributes to the healing power of science" Thus it is a sort of prayer meeting with the prayer omitted, the only prayer being silent one.
 The congregation here is one of the best dressed in the city. It is the pride of Christian Science that it believes in prosperity and promotes it. Everybody in Mrs Stetson's church looks prosper ous. And there is cheerfulness every where.

ern young woman, may we'll turn at-
 tentlon to the characteristics of the
 host of college graduates who have
 been bidding farewell to Vassar and
 her sister places of learning. That the college girl of today is very different from the college girl of 20 years ago certainly very different from cartoons of the college girl of 20 years ago-no one will deny. I have just heard a pretty story about one college girl that may suggest an inclination at variance from the ldmaidishness once as cribed to the B. As and B. S.s by those who believed in the domestic woman. Marriage is not scorned at Vassar, nor is race suicide looked upon with favor. The increasing proportion Of engagements announced in the com. mencement season, and the acclaim with which these announcements are received, are indicative enough of the unimpaired marrying tendency. And the new traditions with regard to chil- dren are equally wholesome. The first girl baby-girl baby, mark you-born to the member of Vassar class-is called the class baby, and is the recipi- ent of many pleasant honors. The other day when the class of 1900 reas- sembled at a reunion feast a proud New York girl brought her girl baby with her. The tot is three years old; and when she was brought into the midst of the banquet, and stood in the middle of the fowerladen board, she astonished the applauding group by making well-learned speech To com plete the delighted wonderment of the company, little Miss New York fin ished her lisping address by leading the class yell. It was a great class dinner, and the class baby, led away by her nurse, was not the least apprecia- tive among those who were privileged to be present.
 Sometimes, am told the class baby. in the natural course of things, is long in coming-for the first babies may be boys. And these. am assured, are not without honors, though they cant be class babies. The custom still prevails. and with increasing attention to de- tails, of preserving class statistics. These show that the college girl is as likely to marry as any other girl, and the tributes to motherhood are an un- mistakable refutation of the ancient spinster tradition.

to be followed by the elderly only, ol tennis by the younger element only There can be no such classification but the fact remains that the harder athletics of tennis is claiming again the attention of those who feel the at- traction of such sport.
 This is one of the best baseball years that New York has known in a long time. A foreigner who should drcp into Park Row at four o'clock on a baseball day would wonder indeed at the crowds before the newspaper bulle- tin boards-crowds that block traffic and require the ministrations of the police. Baseball at least is quite safe from the fluctuations of fashion. Pri- vate games are as great in numbers as the city's open spaces permit.

CLEAN SPORT AT WEST POINT

In the July McClure's Henry Beach
 Needham concluding his article on
 1.-The College Athletic" draws the dead ly parallel between the conduct of ath-
 letics at the T.. $. military and naval
 academies and at the big universities
 Among Uncle Sam's cadets and mid dies athletics are a wholesome and proper part of their curriculum. and sports are kept in their right relation ship to work.
 The comparison Mir Needham makes between the expenditures at the acade- mics and at the universities is the strongest condemnation Of the system which permits. as at Yale last year. an expense list exceeding sIJ.O00. and re- ceipts that notwithstanding this enor- nous outlay allowed profit of SIi.- 222 23 from athletics. while the depart ments of learning were piling up a de icit of ST. .a26.
 At West Point in 1901. football cost only S5.I21.Ss. as against s15.3iG-- Fl at Harvard. and S2tiHAi.06 at Yale. West Point defeated Yale at football therefore a comparison between the two of expenses in this branch of athle- ties is reasonable. Yale expended for merchandise and sporting goods shoes and repairs" s49e4-J2- double the amount. S2OT416. which West Point expended for material On- cludes medicines as we'll as athletic goods and shoes. At Yale. it is insist ell. that "a man cant play the football of today on ordinary grub: that the food provided at the university cOm- mons. costing about five dollars per week. will not sustain q football warrior. His tOarti costs about fifteen dollars per week. of which he himself contributes a third-or less. hence. the net charge to the Yale association for the football training table of S1.sIf. AS against this sum West Point expended just Sssl

{ called for bunch of new scenes for a | production already calling for s25,000 worth of scenery. In a little studio
 adjoining the big one in which the 40- foot canvasses were spread, stand min iature theaters, lighted with electric ! lamps, showing every detail as it will afterward appear in the full-size stage pictures. These effects are more intri-
 cate than ever before, and the com
 plexity of it all grows by the fact that.
 despite the increased delicacy and
 splendor of the scenes, everything has to be built so that it can be folded to
 go through a six-foot railroad car door.
 for the more success the piece has the
 further it must travel The precau-
 tions as to the car door become rather 'ironical when the piece is failure. for then it never leaves New York, and
 might as well have been made without the complicated hinges.
 The scenic painter have quoted. one of the most prosperous in the country. was showing me a new trick for initiating the glitter on water. He has strung lines of long glass beads. which sparkle as the scene is moved by stage draughts. There are many other new tricks. some of them very expensive, since they employ costly paints, bronze powders. glass and tin- sel.
 But the scenery is only part of the expense of a great spectacular under taking. The costumes for a show of this kind that opens in a few weeks cost sls,000. The properties other than the scenery and clothes will cost si0.- 000 more. Only rich managers can go into an undertaking of this kind. ane he has to be pretty sure of hls game. as sure as one can be who appeals 10 the whims of a psmpeTed New York audience. We do not hear as much as heretofore about big salaries for the actor folk For one thing. most of the figures in a musical sxtTavagsnza are of women. women of moderate salary.

The season has been rather uneventful There have. think. been no public receptions to great men as in most for mer years. It is understood that Henry James refused to be gloriied.

MITCHELL AFTER THE INDIAN.

MllCHELL Al lER HE INDIAN.
 Here's chance for John Middle Sky to get into the game.
 Charley Mitchell wants to bet 5000 that he can whip Mir Sky in six rounds, and 5000 more that he can whip him in any odd number over six. All of this goes to real money and is not on the cuff.
 Mitchell made the proposition to the managers of the Indian last night, and is waiting for a reply. He is down to meet John l.. Sullivan September l9, but is willing to fight the newcomer in the game at any old time or place be- fore or after the Sullivan go.
 Mitchell is really getting into shape for the battle, which he says is sure to come off in the West if Sullivan is as much in earnest as he is.

THE PUGILlsiTS.
BIG SIDE
 BET OFFERED
Manager of Sullivan Wants to Wager a Little Against Britt Mitchell Says He Will Fight the Indian.

Kid Sullivan is showing up so well Tn his work at San Rafael that All Herford is already figuring on what the big end of the purse will be when hls charge meets Jimmie Britt at Woodward's Pavilion on the night of the 21st. Herford has made so many trips to the coast and gone back to Baltimore with the money that he has come to think that it is impossible for him to lose.
 The Baltimore promoter says there is now S5,0OO in the hands of Zick Abrams to be bet for him at whatever the prevailing odds may be when the betting begins. There is always plenty of Britt money in sight when the time comes to wager, and there always will be until the little Native Son has been counted out The sports are wonder Ing if this may not be the time. Stranger things have happened in the fight line and they recall many short priced champion that has gone down to defeat before long shot.
 It has been some time since Al Her ford took chance with 5000, and when he speaks of betting that amount he undoubtedly refers to stage money.
 Britt expresses the same confidence that he has always had before his fights, but he shows by the conscien- tious way he is training that he con siders Sullivan man with good chance. James has always said that he expects to meet his Waterloo in time. but before each battle he says: This is not to be the time"
 Sullivan is undoubtedly the boy with the knockout punch, and should he be able to land on Britt there will be new star in the fistic world and the whole complexion of things will be changed. That will forever settle the chance of a championship fight be. tween Britt and Nelson and that finish fight and moving picture scheme will be lost sight of.

Senate Pages Lose Tips

The tipping evil mas been abolished
in the United States senate, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. An edict has gone
forth that none of the little pages
who run about ministering to the
wants of the members of this body
shall accept gratuities of any kind
from the hands of senators.
The new order will put big crimp
in the pocket money of the yGung-
sters. The side earnings of the pages
have averaged $40 or SIS month,
and occasionally they would run up to
twice those figures. Senator Spooner
has the reputation of being the most
liberal Upper in the senate. His fee
was always 25 cents, whether the err
rand involved a trip to his home, up
at Arlington, or merely down to the
restaurant for cigar.
Senator Aldrich is another man who
