ECONOMIES OF CLUB LIFE.
4. DEMOCRACY WHERE RICH WEN
AND POOR MEN ARE EQJ.iL.
Conditions That Make II Possible TO Indulge
I'm Luxuries and az the Same Time Save
Meney- New York Clubs BOOn 10 Men
Of Moderate Means-(1uD Accounts.

A good many country visitors are disap-
pointed when they learn the sober truth
that New York has no clubs composed ex-
clusively of mi!lionaires. 1t IL harder still
to make country folk believe that hundreds
OF men join the so-callad swell club in large
part from motives of economy.
There are scarcely three clubs in the city
that do not include a considerable number Of
poor men in their membership. The aver
age income Of the whole membership of the
ten best known clubs in the city is probably
nearer slO,O 900 a year than $50. 900 a year, and
almost every one of those clubs includes
some scores of men with incomes well below
$40, 600. and a good many with incomes well
below 5000.
There is q real democracy OF New York
club life. Youths in their early twenties
and just beginning their careers on very
moderate salaries frequent truly palatial
clubhouses, breakfast in rooms such IA few
princes ever use and lounge before fire.
places that are to be matched only in the
most splendid buildings OF Europe.
The poor mar in the Talatial club is just
rs we'll treated as the rich. The servants
look as solicitously to his wants and the
chef ordinarily cooks his dinner with the
same care that he bestows upon that Of the
richest member.
The poor mans credit at the club is as
good as the rich mans. and both are i'm
partially posted when they neglect to pay
their Lill7 in good season. There are Il good
MANY INSTANCES also in which the monthly
bills of the poor man are higher than those
of his rich fellow member, for the frequent
ers of clubs are apt TO be the poorer rather
than the richer members.
Many a mar of small! means regards his
membc rship in a first rate club in the light
OF a profitable investment. Such a man, if
a confirmed bachelor, has probably lived
for twenty years within half a block Of the
club. paying a few hundreds a year for II

in the apartments Of the clubhouse.

room for athletic supplies. The Indians
are different from other colleges, in that
the men turn back their outfits at the end
of the season.
Along the walls OF the room in the winter
hang the many football shoes, all labelled
with the names of the men who last wore
them. They are cleaned and carefully
creased so that they will be soft and pliable
for the next season. The regular men Of
the varsity team get new outfits each year,
while the old things are used for the scrub
players. Inasmuch as the Indians get
out four or five teams Of varsity candidates
each fall 1t Is necessary to be saving.
1t is on the athletic field outside that
the Indians have played all their homo
football games, and no visiting team has
ever crossed the Indians goal line. That,
of course, does not say that goals from
field have not been kicked, but no touch
down has been made. There arc plenty
Of football teams in the school. In fact,
about fourteen of them are mustered each
year, boys of all sizes taking part in the
game. Carlisle is a great football school.
The girls, of course, do not play SO exact
ing a game. Tennis Is their chief outdoor
sport. but they also do a little running now
and then, not In the way Of competition,
but solely for exercise. There are some
famous runners among the girls.
The Indians take naturally to baseball,
and their teams generally are good. Be-
sides that, they supply many men TO the
professional leagues each year. Lacrosse
is also played at Carlisle, and this, with track
athletics, completes the list Of competitions
in which the athletes engage.
About seventy-lve tribes are repre-
sented in the school Apaches, Nea Perces,
Sioux, Crees. Oaeidas Tuscaroras IroQuois
and %Chippewas are the main tribes, The
athletes come from the mixed hoods

are oaeidas and C~hippewas, es far as gen.

Carlisle Indian, whether in matters of
physical education or of plain common
,cnse. Boys and girls OF all ages from O

There is nothing like that at Carlisle. Can

they are accepted for the school and all the

Major Mercer, who is at the head of the
school, says "All our pupils ere physically

opinion at Carlisle is that the indian has not

When Bcrnhardt Kissed the Reporter.

In the sos Sam Davis went to Carson,
New. and assumed the editorship Of the
Carson Appeal. which. before he went ac-
lively into State politics, was one OF the most
widely copied country papers in the Unite ed
States. When Sarah Bernhardt first passed
through Nevada on her Western tour the
Examiner Of San Francisco wired Davis TO
board the divine" Sarah's train at Reno and
escort her into CalIfornia-also to get a good
interview en- route.
Mr.. Davis made himself so agreeable to
the entire company that Bernhard insisted
that the romantic monsieur OF the press"
be assigned by the Examiner to esc ort her
through tho nazes of Western life. Mr.
Davis turned San Francisco upside down
for her entertainment. and even arranged
n number OF attractions to show her a sample
o. Western activity under the stress Of strong
emotien, When the company left San Fran

is a strap in the hack of the ulster, and this
holds in place the three plaits that fall from
the seams. There are large side pockets,

strapped and. except the ticket pocket,
covered with a flap.
There is more finish than usual IN a travel,
ling ulster in this garment. which il intended
as rather q dressy coat. II may be made
in a solid color or in q check worsted OF not
too obtrusive design.
The time has passed when the covert coat
was understood to be a garment intended
for riding and not, therefore, to be much
lager than the sack coat worn under it;
but the best tailors are still making these
coats very short. They should not be
more than three or four inches longer than
the sack coat. The seams are strapped,
and usually there are two hip pockets and one
breast pocket. The nom buttons are hidden
by a flap and the collar finished with three
rows Of stitching. The lighter coverts are
the smartest for spring wear, and the very
lark ones should always he avoided. Moth
ing improves a covert coat so much as wear,
and the shahb!er a covert coat is the more
it is appreciated in London. 1t shows how
much c~rosscountry riding its owner has
done. In this country, where cover
coats are worn for general use, his quality
may not be n recommendation.

cause accuracy OF eye is no exclusive asset
of the aboriginal. They are not as good
players, comparatively, as are the girls at
Carlisle.
TIE director Of the gymnasium is Alfred
NJ. Venue, who was graduated from the
school in 1904. He entered in 1901, having
had some education before coming down
| from North Dakota. He is a slight man,
| with a fine upright figure and moves lithely.
Mr.. Venue says that when he is showing
| the boys classes the gun drill he often has
gone through the movements for three
ho' rs in one day.
Mr.. Venue, after working under the
former gymnasium director, took n course
in the $ INNER school a. Chautauqua.
There he worked with Il. G. C!app, the
former Yale athlate, who has q record Of
70 feet in the pole vault. Mr.. Clapp was a
general athlete and his teaching on ath-
letic sports at the summer school gave
the grounding for what Mr.. Venue now
does at Carlisle outside of his gymnasium
work.
He is in sole charge OF all ply steal ac-
tivities at Carlisle at the present time. The
track team is under his care, and what he
learned from the champion pole vaulter

There is tackled up in tho field house ut
Carlisle a series OF pictures of Clapp vaulting,
taken at various heights before reaching
the har and clearing it. This is something
on the analogy OF the picture system used
by Charles Z. Courtney Of Cornell to show
his oars men their defects.
In the entrance to the Carlisle gymnasium
there ia a sort Of trophy room. Along the
walls hang pictures Of former football
teams, as well as baseball and track or
CARNATIONS. Above the pictures hang
two row Of footballs. the choicest from a
large collection. These are painted in
appropriate colors, Carlisle's on the ono
side. with the score made by the Indians;
on the other the colors Of the vanquishal
team, with it's tally. Above each football
hangs the c .ilege flag Of the defeated
college.
That is true in all except two cases.
There is a Princeton flag, but no Princeton
football. That is a vacancy that the In

dams hope to fill some day. Next to the
Princeton pennant hangs a Yale flag and
below it Il football marked on the blue of
one side with the name Of Yale and on the
other with the red and yellow Of Carlisle,
There are no scores on hat football.
Inasmuch as Carlisle never beat Yale
in football, the presence Of hat football
naturally called forth a question. In an
swer, Mr.. Venue said: "ln 1886 We played
a game Of football with Yale TO which we
considered ourselves entitled. Work which
we regarded as unfair on the part OF the
officials gave Yale the victory. We were
backed up by many persons who saw that
game in the belief that it belonged to us.
Therefore we have taken a football and
placed it there just merely IA a token OF
what we believe we are entitled to consider
a victory"
Along the rows hang the footballs Of
honored memory. Cornell, Columbia, Har-
ward, Northwestern. Wisconsin, Cincinnati,
Oberlin, Pennsylvania and others grace
this line like scalp locks dangling from the
roof of a. tepee.
The Carlisle field house is directly be-
hind the main athletic ground. The Indians
have u bigger baseball cage than any other
college. When they built their house
they decided 10 make it a big one. Inside
on exceptionally nasty days in the fall
season the football team runs through
signal practice.
The baseball team has adequate space
for the usual indoor work before the ground
permits Of getting out N the field. There
are locker ooms for the athletes, rubbing
rooms and shower baths, a. well as a store

| Indians under his tuition. It was while be
was there that in one game with Harvard
Dillon made a touchdown by means Of
a trick that was more crafty than sports
manlike.
On the kickoff Dillon caught the ball.
| The Carlisle men, instead Of running for
ward, surrounded him for an instant and
then scattered in all directions. The puz-
zled Harvard men could not imagine who
had the ball.
They ran here and there, but the ball
apparently had disappeared. At length
a party Of Indians dashed off to n side,
all the Harvard men pursuing to break
up the play. Dillon dashed down the other
side line and dropped down behindI tho
goal line. He had the ball tucked up under
his jersey.
Warner has been succeeded in football
by Ralph Kinney, the former Yale tacklo
and guard. 1t looks from that as IL the
feeling over the Yale game of long ago
had died down on both sides. The base
ball players have peer coached this year
by Charles Pittenger, pitcher for the Phila-
delphia National League team. Roy, the.
captain of last seasons team, is under
contract to play professional baseball.

It was again decided yesterday that there is more happiness in pursuit than in possession. This question which has vexed the youth of the land during all the generations since debating societies were invented was the question debated in the Skagway public school yesterday afternoon. Miss Stella Jones, Miss Alma McBrien and Mss Ethel Weste represented the side of pur' suit and Miss Lulu De Witt, Miss Viola Myrick and Miss Lilly Doran champ toned the cause of those who have all they want. The judges were Miss Nina sowerby, Miss Sofia Rull and Miss Ethel Black. Their decision was unanimous.
 In addition to the debate there was a musical and literary program. One of it's most notable features was recitation by Eugene Murphy jr Miss Fay Stiuebaugh and Miss Alma McBrien gave piano solos, and Miss Jones a vocal solo.
