BURNED TO DEATH
AGED WOMAN WAS CARRYING A
 LIGHTED LAMP.
She Stumbled Over a Chair-LAmp Exploded and Set Fire to Her
 Clothing-Alone at the Time.

Stonington, Conn.,, March 15-frs Jane Ives, S4 years old, was buraed to death early to-day in her home. Mrs Ives was taken sick and got up to get some medicine n another room. As she entered the kitchen of her home she stumbled over chair and the lamp which she carried exploded. setting lire to her night robe. Mrs Ives was alone in the house. It is thought she tried to smother the fire by rolling on the floor as the carpet was burned but when her body was found several hours later it was se- verely burned. It is thought however that the shock caused by the fire was partly responsible for her death. Mrs Ives leaves one son.

Midshipmen Conspiring.

Washington, March 15.-Midship- men at Anapolis have been conspir- in gto prevent high standard schoi- arship, according to the statement of Secretary Bonaparte before the house committee on naval affairs to-day. Brilliancy has been discouraged and a sort of trade union agreement to hold all midshipmen on a dead level so far as class records are concerned has been in existence. This has a tendency to place the men who bare ly passed on a plane with those hay ing higher records and anything like superior records has been dIscouT- aged.

AMERICAN SAILORS
Broke Sealing Law While on Brit
fsh Vessel,

San Francisco, March 15.-When the British sealing steamer Zillah May put into this port last Tuesday morning for the purpose of landing a sick sailor, 1t was discovered that the four members of the crew were listed as natives of the United States As the revised statutes prohibit American citizens from hunting seals north of the thifty-ifth paral- Tel of latitude, Customs Collector Stratton called the attention of United States Attorney Devlin to the fact that the sailors mentioned had been violating the law.
 Assistant United States District Attorney Black said he doubted whether the law applied to American citizens when acting as members of the crew of British vessel entitled to hunt for seals in waters prohibited to Americans. It is not likely that further will be done in the matter.

W. Il. Mcdonald. who for forty hours following
the San Francisco earthquake continuously drove
the Columbia car used by Acting Chief Dougherty
OF the Fire Department. Is now in Chicago. where
he will make his home In the future. He relates
many interesting experiences. Seven Columbia
cars were pressed into service by the Government,
including the double victoria which was a feature
Of the Electric Vehicle Company's exhibit In Mad
ison Square Garden last January. II was kept going
as long as the conhagration lasted. but the body
was entirely ruined. A newly arrived carload of
Ramblers was also conhscated by the Government.
After his forty hours work Mr.. Mcdonald and his
wife stood for hours In the bread line, and after
getting a bank book endorsed stood three days In

$1,000 that Honey Melody can whip

Along with the posting of the
money goes the announcement that
Five prominent business men who
don't want their names published"
are putting up the money.
F. w. Smith and BILL" Cody are
probably two of them and Mooney
Mhe other three.
BY posting this money 1t Is
Thought to force the s. A. A. c..
into putting on a match between
MELODY and Fitzpatrick.
The proposition won't do at all.
The club should have nothing
further to do with Mooney or Mel
Qody and if Fitzpatrick boxes Mel
aody it will have to be in private
out in the woods somewhere for
a side bet when it will be their
own business and none of the pub
lies. Thus far Mooney has made
a first class fool of himself in &C.
cusing Eddie Quinn, whom most
people believe to be honest. This
late effort to clinch the match
comes too late. The golden op-

to fix things after he and Quinn had

take kindly to me, simply because
had been turned down by New
York. l finally landed in Baltimore
where, under Hanlon, l found an
entirely different atmosphere. The
people of Baltimore, instead of dis
couraging me, encouraged me, and
soon began to play ball that made
my friends rejoice and my enemies
weep.
"a small-sized player-especially
beginner-has a hard row to hoe.
The fans cannot recognize the fact
that small men can play as good
ball as large men. Theyy think
a big man can hit a ball harder or
better than a small man. AS a mat
ter of fact, the small, or medium
sized players, are among the lead
ing players in the country today
But size has has nothing to do
with q ball players ability any
more than it has with any other
profession. The only difference
is that a large man will be given a
chance by the fans. and quicker
gains their confidence than a small
man."
