the youngest heroine in America to
receive the Carnegie award AMI

The act of heroism which brought
these recognitions to Miss Titus
was this: On July 80, 1904. she
was boating with sere al friends
on Casco bay, near Yarmouth, Me.
A storm arose and the yawl they
occupied was upset, half a mile
from shore. Miss Titus could
swim, but her companion, Miss
Laura V. Reifsnyder sank like a
stone. Miss Titus dived, grought
the struggling form to the surface

hour until help came from the
shore.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The first
and second regiments of infantry
and the eight and thirteenth bat
teries of field artillery sailed today
for Manila, P. l. The first infantry
sailed from here, while the other
infantry regiment and the batter
lies sailed from San Francisco. In
sending this large body of troops
to the Philippines the war depart
ment has not followed its usual
custom of withdrawing an equal
number from the Philippines to the
United States. Explanations of
the movement by the war depart
ment officials vary, but there is
some reason to believe that it is
made in expectation of trouble in
China.

A YOUTHFUL CHAMPION

VIM. Hoppe, the worlds cham
pion billiardist, is IS years old and
his claim to the title was won in
a signal victory over Maurice Wig
naux, the veteran Frenchman, in a
decisive fashion in Paris. Hoppe
tried to get match with Slosson
before he invaded the foreign field,
ubt Slosson declined to meet him,
saying Hoppe had not yet showed
the true caliber of a champion. The
coming international match in New
York in which Hoppe Vignaux,
Cure, Slosson, Schaefer and the
other experts will participate,
should prove one of the greatest
events in the history of the game.
Hoppe played his first billiards
when only 10 years of age. After
beating all the amateurs that were
willing to tackle him Hoppe enter
ed a handicap tournament in New
York with the best shortstop pro-
fessionals. He was then IA years
of age. Hoppe played 200 points
! against Edward Mclaughlin, Ora
Morningstar and Tom Gallagher,
who played 800 points each, and
Ortiz, whose handicap was 225.
Hoppe fent through the tourney,
winning four games and losing
none.
In January, 1904, Hoppe entered
the young masters tournament in
Paris. The other contestants were
Ora Morningstar, United States;
Manuel Sanchez, Spain; Robt. Glor-
ieuX, France, and M. Ducasse of
France. They played IS inch balk-
line. Hoppe once more went
through without a defeat.

FREE BEER Or

CINCINNATI, O., Feb. This
Is one of the most important days
in the life of the 400 or more en-
ployes of the "a breweries of Gin
cinnati, Covington and Newport,
for today the question of free beer
or no free beer will be definitely
decided by their own vote.
A week ago the brewers, acting
in harmony with each other, sub
mitted to their employees two pro-
positions. One of the propositions
was that the wages should be in
creased 81 a week all around, but
all other conditions, both as to
hours and otherwise, shall remain
as heretofore. The second PROPOSE
ton was that the wages shall be in
creased 81 a week all around, and
the hours of labor reduced from
nine hours to eight hours, with the
proviso, however, that no lunch
time and no free beer shall be
granted and that any employee who
shall be found taking or drinking
beer during working hours shall be
subject, upon demand of the en-
ploying brewer, to expulsion from
the union.
The men at the different brew
cries did not hesitate long in MAX
ing their decision, which was al
most unanimously in favor of long
err working hours combined with
free beer.

Tonight at the Spokane Amateur
Athletic club will occur a basket
ball game between the club team
and one representing the Puget
Sound academy. Eddie Quinn of
the club has spared no pains to
make the game a success. He has
arranged for spectators about 400
of the clubs circus seats SO that
all can be comfortable during the
game.
Ralph Post, physical director of
the club, has arranged two prelim-
inaries for the big game. The first
will be two Is minute halves be-
tween the S. A. A. G. Juniors and
the Tiger Athletic club. The S. A.
A. C. boys have won from the Tiger
club in two close games.
The second game will be between
the second S. A. A. c. Juniors and
the second Houston team. The
two teams will play one Is minute
half
The third game will be the main
event. Warren Belt, it is stated,
received injuries which will com
pei him to remain out of the game.
This will be a hard blow to the
S. A. A. C. boys as Belt is con-
sidered one of the best forwards
in the northwest. The lineup of
the two teams will probably be:
