Monkey Is MurnhN's RiYnI.

Friends of Jack Moakley, the Cornell
trainer, are disputing the admirers of
Mike Murphy Of Pennsylvania as to
who is the premier track trainer of
America.
Monkeys followers admit that Muir
ply was the leader, but urge that he is
in bad health and that a sick man is
unable TO attend to his duties with his
old time vim and enthusiasm.
Judging from the results Of the last
two intercollegiate meets, Moakley is
as good if not better than the best.
Arthur Duffey gives the palm to the
Cornell trainer. lie says:
ITO Jack Monkey of Cornell univer-
sity belongs the title of champion
trainer Of America. In TIE past ath-
letes and public alike have been accus-
toned to link the title of foremost
trainer with the name Of Mike Muir
ply. formerly of Yale. but at present
at the University of Pennsylvania.
There is no question but that Mike
was the foremost trainer of his time
and no doubt would continue to hold
that honor if it We're not for the COM
ing of old age and ill health.
murphy has not been able to follow
the game with his usual vim and en-
thusiasm for the last few years, and
as a consequence Jack Moakley has
by hard and conscientious work usurp-
ed his title and risen to the position
which he so justly deserves"

Jack Hayden, the blaclllisted outfield-
er Of the York Qpa.) Tri-state team, it is
said, has been reinstated by the ma
tiOnal commission and his release pur-
chased from the Baltimore Eastern
league team by the Boston Americans,
and as soon as lie receives official mott
ficatiOn he has signified his intention
Of joining Manager Collins team.
Hayden was formerly Il strong draw
ing card in the so called OUTLAW"
league, as he had been playing fast
ball. His work with the stick this sea-
son has not shown up as well as last
year. He has only been batting at a
.2G0 clip and is far behind others of
the team. No reason can be assigned
for his slump except that he may have
been looking for the lifting of his black
list.
Hayden is one of the fastest dalders
in the Tri-state league, and his loss will
be felt by the York team.

LIFE INSURANCE PROBLEM.


Especial CORRESPONDENCE
Life insurance in New Hampshire is
the only branch Of our Order that is not
in a very satisfactory condition, and
although that has been running seven
teen years and has always paid all
death claims promptly it does not seem
to have the support that it deserves
We take all able bodied Patrons in
good standing who can pass a suitable
examination by physician and are
recommended by the master and secre-
tary Of their subordinate grange The
fee for joining is 50; the annual dues
81, the death benefit as many dollars
as there are members of the associa-
ton. The assessments are according to
the age of the insured when he becomes
q member and never change after he
joins. They are:
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1906-07-26

No one is taken when over fifty-five
years old. OF course one assessment
more than pays one death claim, so
quite often death claim is paid with
out an assessment, as the bylaws de-
clare no assessment can be made if
there is money enough on hand to pay
three death claims. No officer gets any
salary but the secretary, who receives
$500 per year, and the treasurer, who
receives $25. We have at present only
about 800 members, but hope to in
crease the number to seven or eight
hundred during the year

Two youthful rivals will meet in the
national rowing regatta at Worcester,
Mass, in August as a result of the vic
tory of young Jim Ten Eyck at the
American Henley regatta in Philadel-
phia. When young Kerns of Worces-
ter learned of Ten Eyck's victory he
quickly decided that he would meet
Ten Eyck in the national regatta.
Both oarSmeu are the sons of well
known coaches, so that tie result of
their race will show whose system Of
coaching is the better, as both are to
be trained by their fathers. Kerns
will row under the colors of the Wash
ington Boat club. He won his spurs
handily at the New England regatta in

Judge Indicates GarheId's Demands
On Packers Was Equivalent
40 Subpoena.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-In the United
States court, Wednesday morning, in
defining the common law, which pro-
vides immunity for persons who rem
der evidence, Judge Humphreys indi-
Gated that Commissioner Garfield's de-
mand upon the packers for informa-
tion was equivalent to a subpoena,
that the packers testified practically
under compulsion, and that the ques-
tion Of Mr.. Garfield's good faith was
vital in the present hearing.
In view Of the fact that the jury's
final verdict will be determined largely
by the courts instructions, Judge
Humphreys remarks created a sensa-
tion.
