At the Gayety.

All round, the bill at the New Gayety this week is the best production that has appeared at that house this season. There is not dull moment during the entire production. and there are several fea- lures that are of unusual excellence.
 One of the most fetching things of the entire performance is the picture thrown on drop curtain of silver and gold cloth at the finale of the first act.
 A vaudeville bill of greater variety has never been presented here. There is good acrobatic act, a pair of good He brew comedians and parodicts, two Ger man comedians with some new songs and stories, and pretty singing turn by Miss Clare and Guy Rawson.
 Manager McArdle has made a special price of 10 cents to all women ana chll- dren at the matinees, and as a result a large number are attending the Gayety.

TO THE PUBLIC:

TO THE PUBLIC:
 There appeared a statement in last Saturdays News and Ledger" signed by MT. J. N. Hamrick and Mir Walter Haygood. They stated in substance that had said in their presence I had bet twenty dollars in one place and ten dollars in another on the Higdon-Stles contest. The inference was that the bets had been placed on Judge Stiles receiving the nom ination for sheriff; that l happened to be a member of the county executive com mittee I may have been influenced there by in my action on that committee. wish to say positively I had no wager whatever on Judge Stiles nomination or election. l have known MT. HamrielS per sonally since I was a boy; l have known MT. Haygood but recently, but from what I knew of each of them I believed that they would do what they could to correct whatever mistake our conversation may have led them into I went to see both of them personally. and showed them what proofs I could bring forth that they misunderstood the conversations we had. After my statement to them, each ex- pressed their willingness to do what they could to place me in a right light be- fore the public,-and at my request, furn- ished me the following statements, with authority to publish:
 ITO THE PUBLIC:
 Referring to my statement published in the Saturday afternoon Brming ham News and Birmingham Ledger touching the charge of wager that Mir. John w. Altman had on the result of the con- test for the sherif's office between Colonel IIigdon and Judge Stiles I wish to state that the face of the statement which I made, shows that the authority of my statement was two converse tions had with Mir Altman personally on different oc- casions in which I-had understood him to say he had two wagers on the result of | the Higdon-Stiles contest, in the sums of $20 and BIO. MT. Altman and I did have the two conversations with reference to the subject, at two different times,-but I am sure since he has gone over the matter with me that we fell into the error of misunderstanding with ref erence to the subject.
 "It is true that MT. Altman and have been friends since boyhood and I am glad that this explanation can mend this difference and put him in the right light to the public. Believing in him as I do from long acquaintance, I am sure that

 Young Otto, the local fighter with the heavy right, left yesterday for q tour of tie west. Otto will try to get on maches with any one near his weight. His manager, Larney Leich- tenstein, is with Otto, and has several matches under consideration.
 Jack Dougherty, the Milwaukee fighter, is just as popular In his home city as he was before his de feat at the hands of Louis. Jack has received many offers of nghs and has accepted that of Jimmy Gardner. They will fight on November 15, at Davenport La.
 Reports come from Cincinnati that a local heavyweight challenges any man in the world to putting match. The challengeer weighs POO pounds and says he will not bar colored men. Here is an excellent chance for Bat ting Nelson to regain some of the laurels he lost in his fight with Cans.
 Harry Gilmore, the veteran light weight, who runs school of pugi- lism," has decided to send his son to college. Daddy Gilmore had intended to make champion fighter out of Fred, but the lad was recently knocked out by "Packy" Mcfarland in three rounds. Now Gilmore, sen for, says his son will have plenty of time to become champion after he finishes his college course. But Daddy Gilmore evidently does not reckon with the football snare that awaits Freddie.

DEVOTION OF JAPANESE.

Natives Rise to Give Their Children
 Seats In Street Cars.
 President Roosevelt had conference recently with Merriam Colbert Harris. missionary bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church for Japan and Korea, regarding the situation in. Japan grow ing out of the discrimination by the authorities of San Francisco against Japanese school children, says a Wash ington special to the New York World.
 T have been in Japan thirty-three years" said the bishop, "and can say that the Japanese entertain feelings of profound friendship, gratitude and re- spect for this country. No attention should be paid to. stories that the Jap anese are conspiring against American interests Japanese are unusually sen sitlve about children. Tn Japan every body conspires to make the life of child happy one. So much respect is shown for the little ones that grown people get up from their seats in street cars and give them to the children up to certain age. This accounts for the grief the Japanese have felt when they learned that Japanese children in San Francisco have been discriminated against. They cannot understand 1t in view of the fact that Italian chil- dren, Irish children, German children and all nationalities are received in the public schools on an equality"

HOW ATTELL WON.

Los Angeles. Cal. Nov I.-Abe At
 tell. defending the featherweight championship. met Harry Baker last night in twenty rounds of the hardest fighting ever seen in the local ring. Baker showed surprising form. un- expected ability to take punishment and continual forcing of the fighting, In which the honors alternatei round by round. The first four rounds were decidedly Bakers and in the second round he caught Attell on the jaw with a rap that sent the champion rolling on the canvas. This was the only knockdown of the fight. The contest developed into , slug ging match with sufficient comblna- ton of cleyerness to make the most exciting fight ever seen in Los Ange- lee.
 Referee Robinson gave the dects- ion to Attell. which caused the Baker crowd to set up an awful howl. and for a time it was deemed unsafe for the Italian to leave the building. Baker was broken hearted at the re- suit and cried in his corner after the fight and his seconds yelled "Robber." and Thief Atteil vas so disappointed sf the hooss and yells Of the crowd that he said this would be his last fight He said the crowd failed to give him credit for his performance. that he had plenty of money and did not have to fight. and as he had climbed 10 the top runE of the puglistsc ladder. he would follow the example of Cham pion JeRries and retire ss the un- beaten festherveieht champion of the world.

New Safety scaHold.

What care is taken nowadays to prevent accidents to workingmen is H. frustrated by the latest thing in scaf- folds that swings from the front of building In the course of construction opposite City Hall park In New York. The scaffold is swung from steel arms fastened up near the future roof of the building by steel cables, and the boards on which the bricklayers stand are laid on another set of steel supports to which the cables are reeved, says the New York Press. But the best thing of all about this scaffold is that 1t Is not holsted or lowered In the old way by the men hauling on the cables. This operation Is done by means of winches, of which there are two to each sup porting beam of steel. The lowering and raising of the scaffold is slower than under the old way, but the gain in the matter of security of the men at work on 1t Is considered well worth this slight drawback.

GRIDIRON NOTES.

Crosby High team has no game scheduled for this week.
 Cornell had its first hard practice yesterday since the Princeton game. New Haven will see a good game 60 next Sunday. Fort Terry plays there.
 Brown will oppose Harvard Satur- day and the following week give Yale some practice.
 Acorns will practice this evening. Looks as if they practice only one night week. They better get busy.
 Princeton undergraduates are not elated over the showing of their team against Cornell, claiming the defense is weak.
 The Indians by their victory of Saturday can be reckoned as one of the best teams of the east w. H. Lewis of Harvard says they are a whirlwind team.
 Yale coaches are fearful over the outcome of the game with West Point. With Roome out of the game, perhaps for the rest of the season Captain Morse will play at full.
 Starr of the Harvard squad was shifted to end yesterday where he played an unusually good game. The Cambridge team went through prac- tice during heavy downpour of rain.
 There is nephew of Mike Murphy on the Yale freshmen team. He is rattling good football player and might have made the varsity had freshmen been eligible for the big eleven. He seems to have inherited some of Mikes sprinting ability, for he ran 95 yards for a touchdown against the varsity the other day. Young Murphy comes from Exeter. where he was high stand man in his studies. 3ss
