SKEE JUMPING.

jump begins. The skillful jumper will make q hundred feet or more before landing
 The worlds record jump was made four years ago in Norway. It is 134 feet 6 inches. That is almost phenom- enal. But number of Americans, most of them of Scandinavian extrac- tion, however, have made better than hundred feet. It is said that at a tournament where hundred men are in competition the jumps will average sixty feet. The highly skilled men. of course, far surpass the average.
 Skees are simply long strips or run. ners of pine or ash wood, about four inches wide and from six to ten feet long. They are turned up at the front end and are strapped to the feet about the middle. At this point the wood is an inch thick. The thickness tapers off toward the ends. The runner usu. ally carries long pole for steering or braklng when running and for balance ing himself when he takes the flying leap from the bump.

 The jumper who lands upon his fee { and keeps going wins over the one whc may jump farther but falls into the snow. While this sport may seem dan cerous to the uninitiated. accidents sell dom happen. It is highly exhilarating, as may be imagined
 President Roosevelt when he visited the Yellowstone park few winters ago made 1N attempt to learn skeeing, but he lacked the time to become an adept. The detachment of United States troops in that snowy region has skees, and the T"n wear them sometimes on duty.
 In Norway, Sweden, Russia and Den mark there are regular skae regiments in the armies. Those soldiers carry their rifles and a bag containing thir- ty-six pounds of provisions blankets and clothes. They carry triangular canvases. which they put together at night to form tents.

 idly over the snow than he could go on the ordinary snowshoe used by some of the northern American h. dians. AS a matter of fact, skees are used also as flying machines on limited scale. That is where the fun comes in. Skee jumping it is called.
 The Norwegians and Swedes who pioneered the states of Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin introduced the skee. They had been used to it at home. They found plenty of deep snow and the necessary hills for the sport in their adopted country and gradually taught their neighbors, the born Americans, the usefulness and the joys of skeeing. There is na- tional skeeing association, which holds annual tournaments in Minnesota or Michigan, at which contests in skee Jumping and running are held. There is nothing so exciting as these tourna- ments. Washingtons birthday was chosen for the date this year and Red Wing, Ainn., as the place for the tour naments.
 For skee jumping steep, long hill is selected, where the snow is several feet deep. If no satisfactory hill be found, sort of toboggan slide is rig ged up for use as the first and steepest part of the course. The skeemen climb to the top of this on ladders or walk up along the side of the snow covered track. Far down the course is the bump or take-off, which Is an obstruc- tion built of wood and covered with snow. The runner strikes this and leaps into the air That is where the

GRAND CAMP OCTOBER Is.
This is to be the Great Day for the Con
federates at jamestown.

Norolk, Va, March 2-The Grand
Camp, Confederate Veterans of Virgin
ia, has selected October ls as grand
camp day at the James.5wn Exposition.
This day will be the climax of the an
nual session of the Grand Camp of Con-
federate Veterans. which will be held
at the exposition beginning the 10th of
October and will be the most novel and
notable event in the history of the or
ganizatIon.
In letter from Col. William H.
Stewart, grand commander of the
grand camp, to Lieut. H. N. Cootes,
military secretary of the exposition
company, asking for Octobar Is as spe-
cial grand camp day, it was stated that
a musical entertainment by a uniform
choir, singing war songs, would be one
of the features of the regular sessions.
These choirs are to be composed of
young ladies and will be trained by ac-
complished vocalsts.
Colonel Stewart has issued a circular
to the commanders of camps of Con-
federate Veterans, asking that they
take up the organization of choirs in
their respective camps and to have the
choirs ready for the opening session of
the grand camp. He states that two or
three camps have already adopted the
plan, which has acted like magic in
giving life and interest to camp work.
He says in the circular: cit is beau
tiful idea, this singing of the old war
songs that cheered the Confederate
soldier along many a weary march, and
made bright for him his sombre bivouac
in the pines, before he wrapped his
blanket about him and lay down to
dream of home.
.'Now that the battles are past and
the march on which he trudges is that
along the path of life, one which for
most of the gallant soldiers of the
south is broadening out to the glory of
a more perfect day, the music of these
sweet-voiced daughters of Dixie, heard
in the familiar airs dear TO the hearts of
the veterans, cheers them again, even
as the same songs, sung with all the
martial ardor of young hearts and
voices, did in the long ago"
These choirs are to wear the veteran
coat of gray and the camp hat, with ap-
propriate skirts, and will make an i'm
pressive appearance.

CAVALRY CHARGE The DISTURBERS

st. Petersburg, March 5.-The open
ing day of the Duma, or lower house of
the Russian Parliament, although in it
self devoid of interest, was made the
occasion of a great revolutionary de-
monstration by the st. Petersburg pro-
letariats and the students of the city,
which resulted in several encounters be-
tween the police and the populace, and
more or less serions injury to a number
of the latter.
The situation was such that the au-
thorities were finally forced to fill the
streets with military, as in the omnious
days of the Trepoff regime. After ad-
journment of the session of the House,
a tumultous crowd, by this time estima-
ted to number close to forty thousand
persons, with red banners flying and
accompanied by the music of revolution
ary chants, started, like the followers
of Father Gapon, on January %, 1905,
toward the central quarter of the city,
where the Winter Palace of the Emper-
or is located.
Few elements of the prelude of ''red
Sunday were lacking, and the COM
mand, ''fre, - would have precipitated
similar massacre. But the present
prefect of Ste Petersburg, General
Dracheffski, followed another course
and dispersed the procession by charges
of mounted gendarmes, armed with
whips, and by an imposing display of
force, he prevented the demonstrators
from reforming.
During the long hours of the morning
and afternoon, the police guarding the
Tauride Palace acted with great for
bearance, giving the spectators a free
vent in singing and cheering, and only
interfering to prevent the people from
forcing their way into the palace.

IMPORTANT DEVICE TO REVO-
LUTIONlZE COTTON CULTURE
Machine Perfected by Government Ex-
perts Removes Fuz and Separates
Light From Heavy Seed

Washington, D. c., March 2.-Qne of
the most important devices in the his
tory of cotton culture practically has
been perfected by experts of the De-
partment of Agriculture.
1t is machine for the removal of the
fuz on cotton seed and for the separa-
tioR of light from, heavy seed.
The process has been in course of de-
velopement for about two years. 1t is
the opinion of the cotton experts of the
department that it's universal use
would effect a saving of about ten per
ceut of the entire cotton crop.
As the crop of America amounts to
about $3.50, 900, 900 year, it easily can
be realized that such a saving would be
of vast Importance.
By the removal of fuz from the
cotton seed the seed may be planted
with an ordinary gravity drill. By the
ease with which the smooth seed can be
manipulated they can be planted in hills
without unnecessary waste, and the
plants so located can be titled in two
directions.
The machine, it is stated, can be
made at small expense. AS the inven-
tion is in the hands of the government,
cotton planters who use it will not have
to pay royalty for it.

Hughes in the Course Of a speech to-
night declared that it was his desire
that there should be a recount of the
votes cast in the Mayoralty election in
this city in 1905. 1t was not a question
of personal interest he added but of the
seating of the candidate elec.ed.

speaker at the complimentary banquet
rendered to night to ''Tody" Hamilton,
whose retirement to private life was
the occasion of notable gathering of

port on Railway Bill.

Washington, March 4.-Both houses
of congress met at an unusually early
hour, $3.50 O'Clock, for the last sitting
of the Fifty Ninth congress. The at
tendance was slim, both in the senate
and house, and those present showed
unmistakable signs of fatigue due to
the almost continual meetings since
Saturday morning.
Both Vice President Fairbanks and
Speaker Cannon were prompt in ar
irving and each called to order the body
over which he presided.
The house proceeded with business as
If the entire session was still before it,
but the senate finding itself without a
quorum and with all absolutely neces-
sary routine business disposed of, took
a recess few minutes after assem-
bling, and it was at once made evident
that there would be no further serious
efforts to secure action on the ship SUBJ
sidy bill, or upon any disputed measure.
Senator Carmack was in his seat
when the session began and his desk
was piled high with formidable array
of documents, showing his prepared
ness to continue his fight against con-
sideration of the subsidy bill.
He openly declared his purpose of
speaking until IL O'Clock, if necessary,
but the motion for a recess made by
Senatot Hale evidently was welcome
news to him.
The ship subsidy bill finally received
a quietus in the senate when Senator
Gallinger arose and finally announced
his decision not to press it for further
consideration. Before making this
he made a last request for a vote,
whereupon Mr.. Carmack expressed re-
gret that the bill would still lead to an
extended debate" Mr.. Gallinger then
made a final announcement that he
would not further press the measure.
The senate adjourned sine die at 1913
and the house at 1920.
The vice president and Mrs. Fair
banks left at 3:45 p. m. for Indianapolis
Ind.
The president sent to the senate to-
day the name of James B, Campbell
to be postmaster at New Cumberland,
W. Va.
When congress adjourned today
there remained about 100 nominations
by the president which had not been
confirmed.
