NEW YORK March 31.-Fred Beell. the
remarkable young wrestler from Wisconsin
who gave Champion Tom Jenkins such a
hard bout about a year ago, was in the
city this week eudeavoring 10 secure a
match with John Piening, the Butcher
Boy" When BeeIl last visited the city
Pieniue said he would meet him, but now
ne refuses. There was reason for It. FOR
Pieuing has declared that he would confne
his matches to the Graeco- Roman style, at
which he is regarded the champion of
America.
Becn is catch-a -catch-can wrestler.
and insisted that the match. If made. be
decided under those rules. Piening. how
ever. insisted that the match should go as
he named It.
II have tried for a couple of years now
TO get Piening on mat with me-" said
BeeN, and he always made some excuse
OF other. Today | am willing to split the
difference with him and let the bout go at
mixed style. That is fair for both There
would be no advantage either way for we
both weigh about the same when in condi-
tion. II Piening changes his mind I would
like to meet him In this city in order to
prove to the New York public that / am
entitled to a match with Jenkins for the
catch as eatch-can championship"

Tom Cogan's Waterloo.

Perhaps next to the stake the most inter-
esting event Of the day was the steeple-
chase. at least to the holiday portion of tho
crowd. Tom Cogan, considered one of the
best cross-country horses at the track. was
conceded the race in advance, unless he
should meet with accident The others
were only considered as place possibilities.
In Cogans case the accident did happen
at the very first jump and over he went,
carrying with him the dollars and hopes
of thousands, well as his Jockey. But
neither horse nor rider was hurt, and the
others went on, Kassil, the Virginia horse.

SOME CLOSE CHESS
GAMES PLAYED
Several Matches in the Depart
mental League Remain
Unsettled.

Some close chess was INDUCED in by the
departmental experts last week, as a re-
suit of which several matches were still
unsettled at date OF last report.
Interior A fattened its average at the ex-
pense of G. P. o. Monday night, the score
being 3 to O in favor of the Interorites.
One game of this series between Hinton
and Fritz was adjourned until a later
date. though its outcome cannot affect the
result of the match.
On the same evening Navy and War met
for their final contest of the season, and
the Navy boys made a strong showing
against the leaders, they did on the for
mer occasion. The score stands so far IL
to ~, with one game yet to be played,
which will decide matters.
Interior B players ran against a snag
Wednesday night when they met Treasury.
At the cal of time the money counters
captured two games and forfeited one-the
contest between Burke and Satterley being
unfinished. The best Interior B can co in
this match will be to tie the score should
Burke win his game
Justice met Agriculture also Wednesday
night, and occasioned a surprise by win
ming two games out of the three played,
one game being postponed owing to ques
ton as 20 the eligibility of one of the JUS
tice players. 1t appears that Mr.. Lewis,
the Justice captain, in pursuance Of his
declared intention to play notaries public

MitcheID against Roberts and Parks re-

tatiVes being regular employees of that de-
partment. MIR. Finn lost his game. but the
Mitchell bout will not be pulled off until
the question of the latter eligibility is
worked out by the executive committee.
The two games won By Justice will of
course stand, they We're played by full

Though the protestant residents Of
Montreal now denied the allegations

como into existence as secret poll

was that only native-born Americans
should be selected for state. federal
and municipal offices.
PROGRESS OF THE ORDER.
The new order or party was said to
have been founded by Lewis O. Lerin,
born in Charleston, s. O., IN 1908 and
died in Philadelphia in 1850. He
was very fine lawyer and orator,
and practiced successfully in Mary
land, Louisiana, Kentucky and
Pennsylvania. He was twice elected
to Congress as native American
the first time as early as 1845. His
prominence in the organization &C.

In Tennessee the Whig remnant

candidate. This campaign of 1866
was q lively one. The Democrats

BY his powerful oratory Henry A
Wise overthrew the knownothings in
his candidacy for governor of Virginia
in 1866. His success was largely due
to his accusation that they were
abolitionists in disguise. One Of his
greatest efforts was made at Charles
ton. He called on those Of his hear
ers who belonged to the order to stand
up, and seventeen hundred arose land

In Kentucky the knownothing can

STORIES OF THE CHAMPION.
Some one has observed tnat as in
dividdals we are self-possessed, but as
q nat on excitable. This has long
been in evidence. Remember what
excitement was caused in 1906 by the
Imprisonment Of Selleck Osborn, the
Conn octicut editor? The Federalists
had him imprisoned for his editorials.
Indignation meetings were held in
distant states by Democrats A great
gathering from everywhere came to
the town In which he was imprisoned
and made demonstration, including
q salute Of seventeen guns at sunrise,
q military and civic procession which
passed under Osborne's jail window
with uncovered heads, and all fol.
lowed by religious services. Re-
member the log cabin campaign ?
But no election was more remarkable
for this strenuous excitement, than
that wherein the KnownothiDgs
played part.
Albert Pike, poet, was the chief
organizer in Arkansas. In 1864 the
Knownothings fused with the Wings,
captured the State Legislature. Two
years later they were beaten-one OF
