The weather WAS not altogether as
conducive to lie occasion us it could
be wished Sunday, it being quite cold.

O'Clock to witness the ski sports on
schedule.
1t was an hour later when the long
race was called and thirteen lined up
Four laps of two miles each were to
be made and in the face OF the wind
and the fine snow falling this was
to he quite an undertaking. Out OF
the thirteen starters only five finished.
A. Auto, who won the long race of
two weeks ago, again finished first,
making the eight miles in 81 minutes
and As seconds. A. Waisaren came
in second; John Maxi third; Henry
Neimi, fourth and John Lahtimaki.
fifth.
The two mile ladies race was won
by Marie Matiskala in II minutes and
a half. Lizzie KOrpi came in second

this feature was 10y points and Isaac
Tiura won by y points having aver
aged q feet 20 the jump. Walter
Alfalfa averaged "A feet and second a
total of 10 points. Henry lIyrkas

INSURGENTS DOWNED
FIRST TEST OF STRENGTH ON
. STATEHOOD BILL VICTORY
FOR REGULARS.

Washington, Jan. 25.--When the
smoke of the liveliest legislative bat
tie OF the session had cleared UP in
the house during the day, Speaker Can
non and his organization were in com.
plete control and the joint statehood
programme Of the administration had
beer adopted.
Forty-three Republican insurgents
went down to defeat, having voted
vainly with the Democrats to gain con-
troll of the rule, the terms of which are
to govern the statehood bill In its
passage through the house. The vote
ordering the previous question on the
rule was 1872 ayes and 165 nays. This
clearly defeated the opposition, the
full strength of which was polled. and
little interest was taken on the vote
for the adoption of the rule, which
Immediately followed and was carried
by majority of thirty.
Previous TO the vote the debate on
the rule had proceeded under high ten
sion. The speeches were short but
the words uttered were hot and full OF
sting.

come OF their long conferences will
have marked effect upon the altitude
Of the senate toward the measure.
Mr.. Hepburn and the other Republi,
cans agreed to accept the wording OF
the Democratic bill in the provision
for the fixing Of the maximum rate
The amendment that was accepted
provides that the commission shall
fix a "just, reasonable and fairly re,
munerative rate, which shall be the
maximum rate"
The amended bill also provides for
seven members of the interstate com.
merce commission instead of nine, as
was provided in the original Hepburn
bill. Another amendment incorporat-
ed at the request of the Democrats
provided that in cases where no dam
ages are asked the commission may
simply state its conclusions and need
not set forth its findings.
A section of the Dayey bill requir,
ing that the attorney general in ap.
peal cases shall file the certificate
necessary to expedite the hearing was
incorporated in the amended bill. An.
other amendment provides that or
ders of the commission shall continue
in force for three years unless re-
pealed.
No existing cases are to be affected
by the bill and all laws relating to
witnesses and the conducting of hear
ings before the commission are to be
continued.

The Sure Thing Bug and Its
Victims

One OF the few really serious
minded humorists of America (ii
the phrase may be allowed) is
Mr., James l.. Ford, the author
of The Literary Shop" and the
inventor OF that valuable phrase
"Culturine." BY "serious-mind-
ed" we mean that Mr.. Ford
uses his genuine humor to eX-
pose genuine folly, and in no
place has he done SO more sue
cessfully than in the satirical
papers entitled Seeing the Real
New York, !" of which the third
installment appears in the Feb.
ruary number Of the Cosmopoli-
tan. Mr.. Ford imagines a crowd
OF strangers on the top OF a
sightseeing motor car or, as he
calls it, a "Rubberneck Coach" "
They are shown over New York
by the Megaphoue Man, who is
a sort Of magician, and makes
them see the real condition OF
affairs, the hollowness ofsociety,
the fraud of Wall Street and the
wretchedness of the lower class
es by means Of various whimsi-
cal SMILES and images. The hu-
NOR is by no means lessened by
the grimness of the meaning.
The new irstallment begins thus:
"Observe the ravages of the
Sure Thing Bug!" cried the
Megaphone Man as the rubber
neck coach got away with it's
eager inquisitive load. "Those
who are bitten by this insect
will instantly drop whatever
they may be doing and hurry
away from their homes and of
fees to take all their money out
of the bank and wager it on
something absolutely safe and
sure like the turn of card or
a wheel, the running Of a horse
or the rise and fall Of railway
shares"
Can nothing be done to ex-
terminate it?" asked a Scotch
Rrubberneck, as he turned his
scoat-collar about his ears for
fear the Bug might bite him
4unawares.
"Exterminate it!" cried the
guide. do you want all bust
ness to come to a standstill and
the Chamber of Commerce to
ptotter to its fall? What the
camel is to Arabia and the rein

WOMAN'S RIGHTS LEADER DEAD.
Miss Susan B. Anthony Passes
Away At Ripe Old Age.

After long and eventful life Miss
Susan b. Anthony, aged Sc years, died
at an early hour this morning at
Rochester, n Y. Miss Anthony was
the leader in tle cause of Woman s
Rights and next TO Francis Willard
she was the best known advocate of
the cause.
Her fame also spread abroad, aud
at various times she had been a dele.
gate to international gatherings which
took her across the Atlantic. For
years her name has been linked with
every notable movement in behalf of
securing greater privileges for the fair
sex. and to the defense of the cause
she brought intellectual gifts of high
order Her brilliaLcy of mind and
oratorical ability were supplemented
by winning personality, and by
thousands of woman suffragists she
was spoken of in the most endearing
terms.
At the time of her death Susan b.
Anthony showed few signs of the
tempestuous and agitated years she had
lived through. She looked like a
woman of 10, perhaps, and, excepting
the days when her tormenting malady,
neuralgia. was with her, possessed the
energy of a woman of 90. It was
with the greatest difficulty that hel
friends succeeded in keeping her away
from the daily sessions of the Balti.
more convention not long ago. She
was consulted in every piece of bust
| ness transacted aud her advice cleared

Miss Anthony never regarded money
| as being especially useful except tC
further the cause of equal rights fol
women. She was poor woman most
of her life, wage. Garner. A small
| fortune came 10 her by inheritance il
1882, and the first thing she did Will
| the money was to publish a History
of Woman Suffrage, in four i'm.

volumes free of charge in 1900 public
libraries. In addition to the Libraries
she presented hundreds of sets of tn,
books to schools. colleges. writers

The Reason For The Designation

As stated last week in the Capital
the midshipmen, except the fourth
class, of the Naval Academy, will next
year all wear stripes ON their sleeves.
This is to designate to which class
the wearer belongs and will facilitate
matters in the way of apprehendlng
offenders.
The fourth class men will wear no
stripe, but members of the third class
will have one; second class, TWO, and
first class, three. The onIy excap.
tion to the new rule will be in the
cases of midshipmen turned back an to
a lower class, who will bear an ad.
ditional stripe for each additional
year. The change will assist the off,
GERS to some extent in detecting mid.
shipmen who break the regulations
of the Academy.
1t has frequently proved hard to
spot offenders because of similarity
of uniform, but now only class will
have to be gone over, instead of prac.
tically the entire student body.
