Payne whitney, New York Expert,
 Beaten Three Games to Two.

Payne Whitney, New York Expert,
 Beaten Three Games to Two.
 BOSTON, Feb. 27.-In dashing. up hill contest Percy D. Haughton of the Boston Tennis and Racket club won the national amateur racket cham pionship at the Boston Athletic asso- citation, defeating Payne Whitney of the New York Tennis and Racket club three games to two. The scores were as follows: 12-15, 9-15, 15-12, 15--13, 15--13.
 Whitney was the favorite and had the match apparently almost won with the games two to love and the points , to on the third game. A brief let-up in his play gave the Boston man a chance to tie the score, and, although Whitney played desperately and had the lead in the last game, Haughton's steadiness enabled him to run out the game and capture the championship. Haughton's longer reach and his k4tfenstls fh the rallies won him 6e match. Whitney's service. especially in the second game, was .severer than Haughton's, but the Boston man never theless took the last two points of the match on the New Workers service. Whitney played desperately, but could not recover his service, while Haughton's work in the rallies earned for him many points.
 In the last game, with the score IA to 13 in Whitney's favor. Haughton re
 fused set on his opponents service
 Whitney was unable to score the neces'
 sary ace, while Haughton placed two
 beautiful shots far out of Whitneys
 reach and ran out the game, whici
 gave him the championship.

BOWLING
RECORDS WRECKED
Debuc Bowls phenomenal Score at the Wooster Match Game at
 the Casino.

Dubuc broke all city records in the 1.-two man. tournament at the Wo0s- ter bowling alleys last night by roll ing up the phenomenal string of 290. It is believed that this is the highest string that has ever been put up in the state and will stand as record for some time. Itschner held the rec ord of the city with IFS and when you stop to consider that this record was beaten by over 100 pins you can real ize what phenomenal bowling Dubuc did. Dubuc started out by making T spare and then followed eleven strikes. The previous high single string in the ''two man. tournament was held by Middleton, which was PA. Dubuc broke another record also, the three string. which was helG by F. Beardsley with mark of 644. Du- buc's score last night in the three string was 664. Dubuc and his part ner, A. Gross, also broke the team to- tal of 119S, held by the Beardsley brothers, by bowling the great total of 1926. This beats all records held in the city in any alleys.

To YOUTH
NATIVE TENNE SSEAN WHO BE-

having been feeble but few months.
He leaves a wife, 81 years old; five
children fourteen grandchildren and
sixteen great-grandchildren He was
born in Cooke County, Tenn, June Is,

GREAT COMET DUE IN 1910.

The most famous of all comets.
though not the largest and most brill
liant, will again be visible in 1910.
This is Halley's comet, so called from
its Identification by the great as
tronomer who was the friend of Sir
Isaac Newton. Halleys Investigations
of astronomical records led him to as
sert that the comet which he had OBJ
served in 1862 had appeared in 1881
and 1907, and to predict its reappear
ance in 1859. The fulfillment of HIS
prophecy excited the most intense
scientific interest and established be-
yond doubt the periodicity of comets
and their movements In orbits deter
mined by the law of gravitation, says
writer in Leslie's Weekly. It's last
appearance was in 1885, its period
varying between seventy-five and
seventy-six years on account of the
perturbing attractions of Jupiter and
Saturn in certain parts OF Its orbit.

DISTRIBUTION OF
RELIEF FUNDS
CARRIED ON AT SAN FRANCISCO
WITHOUT GRAFT, DECLARES
RED CROSS AGENT.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Dr. Edward
T. Devine, who, as special represen-
tative of the Red Cross, had super
vision of the relief work of the soci-
ETY. at San Francisco following the
earthquake disaster, declared before
the New York State branch of the Red
Cross today that, while mistakes might
have been made In the distribution Of
the relief funds, there was no graft
there. DR.. Devine took occasion to re-
fer to the indictment recently return
ed against Mayor Schmitz, of San
Francisco, growing out Of an inves-
tigation of municipal affairs, saying:
There is one person. at least, one
who had every opportunity to know
the truth, who does not believe that
the Mayor of San Francisco has stolen
a single penny of the relief fund"
The seven months work of the Red
Cross in conjunction with the other
committees was reviewed in a general
way by Dr. Devine The relief fund,
he said, reached the total of $4,000
OOO of which $9.OOO,O 900 were contribu-
ted in cash to the general relief funds,
$2,50O,000 by the general Government
and the rest by independent organiza-
lions and individuals who expended
the money independently. He referred
to the Incorporation of the California
Relief and Red Cross fund for the ex-
penditure of the 100000 balance,
which will be used in rehabilitation.
OF this amount it was agreed that fol
lowing expenditures should be made:
Five hundred thousand dollars for
the relief of refugees, $500, 900 for the
establishment of the homeless in new
homes, 100000 for the aid of small
enterprises, tradesmen and merchants.
this being the balance forwarded by |
the New York Chamber of Commerce;
$4,000 for the erection of small cot |
tages for the refugees still living in |
tents. and $1.O00,OOO to aid sufferers
in building new houses, the last one
third of the cost being paid out of the
fund"
He said that 1900 persons were )
still practically living in tents or tenn
porary shelters, while 23 900 addition
al were unsatisfactory housed 40 900
in all to be looked after.

HIS OWN MONEY.
Washington Post.)


William R. Hearst spent 1886, $40. %
In his campaign as a candidate for
Governor of New York. It is a large
sum, said to be many times greater
than any others recorded in the books
of the state for that particular pur-
pose" Doubtless many differences
will be drawn from this expenditure
and many wise morals pointed out.
While our contemporaries are about
it, they should consider the whole
question of campaign expenditures and
thus furnish basis of proper compar-
ison. Was Mr.. Hearst's expenditure
large in the face of 100000 which
Mr.. Hanna is said to have used in
1896 to elect Mr.. Mckinley?
The sum that was spent by Samuel
]. Tilden in his campaign is not
known, There was no law requiring
a sworn statement in those days. Ira
dition has it that the amount was very
large It is also generally believed
that 100000 was spent in the cleo
tion of Grover Cleveland. These fig
ures make those of Hearst seem small
indeed
Another important fact should not
be overlooked in the discussion of Mr..
Hearst's campaign expenditures. The
money he spent was his own.

WOMAN POLICEMAN.
Masqueraded as a Man for Thirty
Years Before Discovery.
(London Mail.)

4 (London Mail.)
The woman who has masqueraded
for 80 years as a policeman in Seville,
and whose sex was only discovered on
Friday, as the result of an accident
by which she fractured her leg, was
seen by our Seville correspondent yes
terday
She tells me, our correspondent tel
egraphs, that she has always gone by
the name of Fernando Mackenzie, her
father being English and her mother
Spanish. She was born in France,
came to Spain in 1876 at the age of
So, and contriyed to enter the Madrid
police force disguised as a man.
She married there, and pretended
that her wife's child was her own son.
She removed to Seville, still serving
as policeman, and was engaged there
as cook and orderly at the Governors
palace at the old convent of Son Pab-
10, which was burned last July. She
served seven successive Governors,
and only lost her situation through
the fire, the Governor removing to a
hotel.
In consequence of the discovery OF
her sex, she has been discharged from
the police without pension due to her,
and is now helpless cripple and in
great distress. Our correspondent
found her in a miserable room, sit
ting in broken chair facing large
image of Christ, the only treasure she
has left She told him that her wife
died two years ago, and a neighbor
stated that Fernando" spent all she
possessed on the woman's funeral.
Her alleged son has never been seen
since the death of the mother.
Mackenzie has a soft voice, re-
fined face, and delicate features, ana
was neatly dressed in male attire.
Asked how she escaped detection so
long. she replied that she always liv-
ed quietly in her own house with her
wife. and did her duty by her employ
ers so that no one meddled with her.
She owes rent and fears eviction, her
beloved image being her last resource.
She was speeches. with gratitude
for a small gift of money, and then
turned in an ecstasy of thanks to the
image.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Judging from the alleged forecasts
given out concerning the forthcoming
message of the president, 1t is to be
hot stuff"
According to statements made by
the Washington correspondents of
such Republican papers as the New
York Tribune and the Mail, the presi-
dent is to open active warfare on the
trusts and all corporate and individual
aggregates of wealth. He is going to
ask for legislation to curb and regu-
late the trusts, while all large individ-
ual estates are to be subjected to
heavy taxes.
If this be the view which the presi-
dent takes of political conditions in
the Union it is plain that he thinks
that radicalism is what the masses of
the people. want, and he proposes to
play for their favor. The talk among
Republican leaders, except those who
are themselves. candidates for the pres
idency, is to the effect that the great
body of the Republican party wants
Roosevelt for third term.
They believe that the defeat or
Hearst for the governorship of New
York was the result of his own per-
sonal unpopularity and was not caused
by any opposition to his radical views.
His political doctrines were all right,
but the man himself was odious to
great body of the people who had nom
mated him. and if they had voted for
him as they did for the other candi-
dates on the Democratic ticket he
would have been elected. The idea
seems to be that the radical doctrines
preached by Bryan and Hearst are IA
yored by vast masses of the people,
and that the man who is to be elected
the next president must support and de-
clare and stand to them. Mr. Bryan
Is expected to be the Democratic can
didate, and Roosevelt is believed to be
the only Republican who can meet
and contest with him on radical
ground, New Orleans Picayune.

GETTING The RIGHT MEN.


Whether men of big private interests
should ever become too busy to enter
politics is made debatable by several
prominent st. Louis men of affairs in
advancing reasons why they cannot
be candidates for the next municipal
assembly.
That they should put aside their own
businesses to serve in the interest of
public welfare is not debatable from
the viewpoint of citizenship Every
country since the beginning of civil
cation has called on her able men to
insure the destinies of good govern
ment and progress. In remoter times
the period of service was exacted i'm
peratively, but with the dawn of great
er individual liberty of action, serving
ones city and country became a mat
ter of conscience and personal honor.
Theoretically. no selfish plea should
be permitted by any citizen, thankful
for the prosperity which community
interests confer upon him, to stand
in the way of the service his brains
might be to his city. The man of
affairs who refuses to accept his full
responsibilities as an American citi-
zen can hardly complain of the evils
he has condoned into existence Pa
triotism is nothing more than the full
measure of mans duty to society

If the next Legislature will so
amend the primary law that every
citizen must show a poll tax receipt
as a prerequisite to voting the school
fund will be UNNECESSARILY increased.
The primary is virtually the election
in most counties, and it should be
