STARTS A 2,o00-MILE WALK
Baltimore Man, on Wager, Tramp
ing from His Maryland
Home to Denver.

Denver, ,Gol.-Denver is before many
weeks to be visited by Baltimorean,
who left the Monumental city for a
cross-country walk, with this city as
his objective point. The venturesome
youth, who believes that he will be
able to make the 2,O0O-mile journey
is Hyman Marks, a well-known young
business man. Several weeks ago,
while in company with a number of
friends, an argument arose as to each
mans staying powers in long-distance
walking. The dispute was heated, and
the result was bet on the part of
Marks that he could start from the
front door of his home and without a
cent of money reach Denver in seven
weeks from the date of his departure
The challenge was Immediately
taken up, and Marks was given a rous-
ing send-off when he left. He will
visit the principal cities on the way.
and will call on the mayor or some
other city official in each town that he
stops at for credentials to show that
he is actually carrying out his part
of the contract.
The young man, in the vernacular of
the down east Yankee. will "hev to
step some" il he counts the ties to
Denver in the time that he has laid
down for himself.

RAT CLOSES SALOON EARLY
Conscientious Owner Drives Out
Crowd, Thinking It Is Closing
Hour-Cause Discovered.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Don't say rats to
Frank Merkle. Frank Merkle is a
saloonkeeper on Smithfield street, and
his place for years has been famous as
being one which obeys to the very
letter every injunction of the Brooks
law. So careful is Merkle that he
closes his place on legal holidays, and,
in order that he may shut up every
night on time, he has an electric bell
connected with> the city fire alarm,
which rings at Has the official clos
ing time.
Shortly after ten o'clock recently,
while the place was crowded, the clos
ing alarm rang. The bar was filled
with foaming beers, but, with one
swoop, they were taken back. Merkle
excitedly locked the front door, turned
down the lights and chased everyone
through the side entrance in spite of
their protests.
When the bar had been cleaned out,
the receipts counted and the bartenders
had doffed their white aprons, some
ones suggested that the alarm might
be out of order. An inspector was
sent for, and he discovered that a rat
had chewed through the insulation,
which grounded the wire and caused
the false alarm to be sent in.

TRAMPS EAT LIKE NABOBS.
Steal Silver Dinner Service from Car
for Midnight Feast-Escape
Police Raid.

Chester, Pa.-According to the state
ment of a railroad man who lives in
this city and was an eyewitness of the
affair, tramps and yeggmen who tre-
quent the" line of the Philadelphia, Bal
time & Washington railroad between
Philadelphia and Baltimore held
royal banquet with silver sets valued
at $20,o00.~
Solid silver was handled by the
,adsters and outcasts as if it were
nothing more than ordinary tinp1ate
and the story of the night dinner rivals
that of the Millionaire club.
The scene of the midnight feast was
in a grove near Perryville. A freight
car had been broken open and some
rare art gems in solid silver, consigned
by New York house to parties il
Washington, were stolen and carried
to the grove.
Foraging parties were sent out by
the nomads and soon silver chatting
dishes were used for frying chickens
and gold-lined goblets were utilized fol

GREAT, WHIST MEET IS ON
Congress Of the American Lea que
Holds Fifteenth Annual Ses-
- sion in Chicago.

Chicago.-Quite an important event
Is the fifteenth annual congress OF the
American Whist league, held at the
Auditorium hotel here the week OF
July TO- The growth of the league
despite the inroads which nave been
made upon the followers of whist by
bridge, skat and other aspirants for
supremacy, as indoor games, has been
remarkable.
In April, 1891, a small coterie of en-.
thusiasts met at Milwaukee to effect
an organization of whist players
throughout the country. The problem
was difficult, but was solved in splen.
did style, and credit for this achieve.
ment is due in a very large measure
to the late JUDGE Elliott, of Milwau
kee, the "Fath. of the League" an6
to Theodore Schwarz, of Chicago
Among other things, the American
Whist league has codified tie laws OF
whist and improved, upon them from
year to year, until the present code is
probably as nearly perfect as anything
of the kind that ever existed.
The congress this summer promises
to be memorable one Mr.. L. G..
Parker, who has for many years been
regarded among whist players as the
best tournament man in the country.
stated recently that Chicago now has
a force of workers which has never
been equaled by Chicago or any other
city. Foremost among this band are
Edward P. Martin, chairman of the
tournament committee, and l.. M. Col
losky, chairman of the bureau of IN
formation and supplies. For many
years Chicago has led all American
cities in the number of her whist play
ers and whist clubs; in her record for
entertaining congresses the city has
not been preeminent, and this position
Mr.. Martin and his lieutenants will try
earnestly to secure this year. Last
February the Chicago Whist associa-
tion gave four days whist "Carni-
VAL" which was the largest affair ever
given by local association, and which
gave an impetus to whist affairs in
the west which has proved of incal-
culable valueto the managers of the
congress-.

A prize fight was pulled off the other
day for the entertainment of naval OFF,
GERS of the Southern squadron, stationed
at San Domingo. AS result Marine
Ralph Cohen, of the Yankee, was sent
home IN q coffin to his parents in New
York. We have never read anything in
accounts of ring contests quite as brutal.
Cohen was not we'll at the start and
desired to give only boxing exhibition
After being badly hurt lie begged to
throw up the sponge, but was told that
he had to fight as long as there was life
in him. He was finally knocked out
and two hours later he was found dead.
This is called legitimate athletics in
naval circles. The board that investi-
gated the matter reported that Cohen's
death was the result of an accident, find.
ing nothing in the affair to condemn.
Secretary of War Bonaparte threatens
to take hand and there may be court
martial for the responsible ones. The
encouragement of athletics is proper.
but according to American military no.
tions there is no extremebeyond which
athletics may become barbarous and
unworthy of human beings. Putting it
mildly, this affair aboard the Yankee is
not thing that the nation can be proud

MISSING MILDLY
FOUND IN QUEBEC
Robert Jackson Denies He IT.
tended to Desert, and De-
ClareS HIS Mind Was a Blank
After Leaving the Missouri.

Midshipman Robert Jackson. who has
been missing from the battle-ship Mis-
souri, since a week ago last Friday, is
back aboard his vessel.
He was found by his father and Mid
shipman Court. who was his chum at
Annapolis, working in Quebec in an at
tempt to get money enough to pay his
passage back to the Missouri. He In
d%ignantly denies that the thought OF
ever entered his mind. and,
while he does not say openly that he was
rugged. lie does say that the frs
few days after he LETT MS ship are a
blank to him.
His father in speaking about the mat
ter said
II found unmistakable evidence that
from the time he left the Missouri he
was not himself, and that by some
strange means his judgment had been
rendered inactive. | am pretty well
of the cause, and shall leave
nothing undone to get at the bottom OF
the strange affair"
When young Jackson left his shir
on shore leave with friends he met Olga
Maxwell, a young woman living in
West SiXty-ninth street. lie did not re-
turn when his leave expired. on the
Monday following his disappearance a
general alarm was sent out through the
! Dlice. The next day the Maxwell
woman appeared and said she had left
him that morning in Boston.
