GALLAGHER AND CUTLER
WCTORS AT BILLIARDS

NEW YORK. November 23-Gray Tom
Gallagher of New York and young
Charles Peterson Of st. Louis tapped
worries in competition last night in the
seventh game of the 1872 balk line pro-
fessional tournament in the New York
Theater Concert Hall Gray Tom beat
young Charles by a score Of 400 to 200
Gallagher grappled with the globes mere
effectively than Peterson in the first quar-
ter and led at the end of the tenth inning
by score Of 271 to SO. The veteran
made runs in succession of 20, H. %, 35
and 11S, and the score was 246 to So in his
favor. He played consistently in wide
position work and cushion caroms, and in
the course of the big run got out Of diff
culties often by clever execution. The
eighty-seyenth shot OF the run was
scratch. and the final shot was miss with
the balls shaped up for nursing in the GEN.
ter section.
progress was halted twice by misses of
direct draws. His method was good. but
his form was poor. Now and then he
counted skillfully and rapidly along the
upper rail. his favorite seat of operations.
Gallagher was n long time in annexing the
last half Of his third hundred. 1t was
scattering billiards at that period for both.
Peterson could not take advantage of Gal
lagher's relapse, and at the end of the
nineteenth inning the score was: Gallagher,

Albert Cutler of Boston made another
good average yesterday afternoon. He
stacked up against Frank Hoppe, jr. and
the latter met with his tl.-rd straight de-
feat. The game was easy for Cutler, who
so far has shown the most consistent form
OF any of the players. He made a run of
81 in his third inning, and three innings
later did such clever balk-line manipulation
that he stroked the willing globes for an
even hundred points. Hoppe opened well.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, November 2s.--The
Pennsylvania foot ball players had their
first real hard practice yesterday since their
contest with Michigan last Saturday. The
varsity lined up in secret practice against
the scrub for stin session and the advan-
tage lay with the varsity. The same char
acteristic whirlwind style which marked
the work of the players in the Michigan
contest was evident and the practice from
beginning to end was marked with snap
and vim. Several new formations were
tried. This was the first practice of the
year in which the scrubs were unable to
hold the varsity within bounds or to van
auish them The only time the scrubs were
able to get the ball was on a few forward
passes which hit the ground and two Of
Hollenbaclx's quick kicks from close behind
the line.

"A SMALL THING"

Do you believe in progress? Do you
believe that all the wonderful achieve
ments of the nineteenth century-the
railroad. the telegraph, the telephone,
electric light kerosene, sewing ma
chine, agricultural machinery, steam
ships, trolley cars, etc.-have made
life easier and better worth living? l
do. l believe that a man who lives
10 years under modern conditions has
experienced more life and better life
than Methusalem, though he had lived
20 centuries of his time.
The triumphs of the nineteenth CEN
tury were triumphs of human service
the placing of knowledge and the
fruits OF knowledge within the reach
OF the common man. Every mans
life is better, happier, more secure be-
cause of them. We live more comfort
able, more sociable lives in better and
more comfortable houses because of
them. Even the hopeless dweller in
the worst city slums is more COM
Portable in his physical conditions than
the middle-class citizen of the days OF
George Washington.
In little things as In great, comfort
and convenience have been the legacy
Of the Century OF Improvement"
Paint, In certain sense, is q minor
matter, yet it gives beauty, healthful-
ness and durability to our dwellings.
Fifty years ago painting was a serious
proposition, luxury for the owners
Of stately mansions who could afford
the expense Of frequent renewals. To-
day ready mixed paint is so cheap, so
good, and SO universal that no house
owner has an excuse for not keeping
his property we'll painted.
A small thing, indeed yet several
hundred large factories, employing
thousands Of chemists and skilled
workmen, are running every day in
the year to keep our houses fresh,
clean and wholesome.
A small thing, yet can Of good
ready mixed paint, such as one may
buy from any reputable dealer, en-
bodies the study of generations OF
skilled chemists, the toll of a thou
sand workmen in mill, laboratory and
factory, and the product of a long
series OF special machinery invented
and designed just to make that can
OF paint and to furnish us an infinite
variety of tints, colors and shades.
1t was a wonderful century, that
nineteenth of our era, and not the
least of its wonderful gifts was that
same commonplace can of paint.

poWELL IS SHOT FROM IN FRoN1
Autopsy Shows Slain Man Was Facing
His Assassin.

Autopsy Shows Slain Man Was Facing
His Assassin.
Minneapolis, Oct 10.-W. A. Dowell,
newspaper reporter, who was killed
on Sunday afternoon by John P. Quirk,
was facing his slayer when the fatal
bullet was fired. This much was
proved almost beyond doubt by an
autopsy held yesterday.
Coroner Kistler has decided that the
evidence in the case is SO clear as to
obviate all necessity of an inquest, and
it is expected that the first examina-
ton of the witnesses will be before
the grand jury.
Miss Bessie Squires, John Quirk's
stepdaughter, whose association with
Mr.. Dowell was the primary cause OF
the trouble between the two men, has
been in state of highest excitement
ever since the tragedy, and at times
has acted so irrationally as to cause
fear that her mind may give way. Re-
peatedly while at police headquarters
after the shooting she threatened to
take her own life, and on Sunday night
she was detained at the city Jail un-
der the care of the matron, Mrs.
Schaefer, and a special nurse, for pro-
lection against herself.

FALLS INTO THRESHER.
Farm Hand Drops Upon Cylinder
While Machine Is in Motion.

While Machine is in MOTION.
st. Peter, Mimi, Oct 7.-Algot Lund-
berg, farm hand employed by Sven
Anderson of New Sweden township,
had a miraculous escape from death
yesterday afternoon. He was drawn
into the cylinder of threshing ma
chine, but the injuries he received
were comparatively slight.
When the accident occurred Lund-
berg was standing on a footboard d.
rectly over the cylinder, the board
broke under his weight and dropped
him squarely into the mass Of revolv-
ing teeth. His fellow workmen fully
expected to see Lundberg ground to
atoms, but by the merest chance the
machine had been slowed down for
moment and the engineer was able to
stop 1t promptly.
Both of Lindberg's shoes were strip
ped from his feet, and the teeth on the
cylinder caught and crushed one of
his heels. Had the separator been run
ming at the usual rate nothing could
have prevented the man from being
torn and mangled beyond recognition.

ed to be many millions of tons.

cred at upper lake ports, but this price
cent per ton in each succeeding year

gan & Co.. at which there were present
James ]. Hill. ]. p Morgan, Charles S.
Steele, George w. Perkins, Judge E.
H. Gary and the legal representatives
Of the interests concerned.
The magnitude of this transaction
and it's effect on the properties CON
cerned, as well as upon the iron and
steel trade of the country, is indicated
by the fact that the Hill properties
have been estimated to contain from
400 900. 900 to 700,000000 tons Of ore.
Ore for Fifty Years.
The properties included in this
transaction are said to be second in
Importance and extent only to the
Lake Superior iron mines already con-
trolled by the United States Steel cor
poration, and 1t is said that this deal
will furnish the steel corporation with
a supply of ore for the next fifty years.
The Hill properties included within
this lease are believed to comprise

ed by James J. Hill. but the ownership

SHORT CUT HOME Is FATAL.
Engineer Walks Too Near Edge Of
Mine Shaft and Falls In.

Butte, Mont, Oct. 10.-William L..
Hollingsworth, forty-seven years old,
a stationary engineer employed at the
Silver King mine, was instantly killed
by falling down an abandoned shoft Of
the mine. The fall was sixty feet, and
the fact of the accident was not known
until several hours after it had occur
red, when Hollingsworth was misss6
and a search followed. 1t is supposed
that the dead man had started to walk
to his home, a short distance away,
and, taking a short cut, had walked
too close to the edge of the shaft the
ground about which had been disinte-
grated by a steam exhaust pipe. The
ground caved in and the man was pre-
cipitated to the bottom of the shaft
and instantly killed.
