PRESIDENT EATS vENIs0N.
Ben LlIey Shoots a Deer In Louisiana Canebrakcs..


 Stamboul, La, Oct. s. - President Roosevelt breakfasted on venison steak today, Ben ,Lilley having shot fine buck in the canebrakes.
 Except that the temperature is too humid to render physical exercise en. joyable the president is having favor able weather. Before his arrival there had been no rain for two weeks, and the conditions were unfavorable for hunting, the breaking of the dry twigs giving warning to the game, while the hard surface was trying to the feet of the dogs.
 Some of the dogs the president is using were recently so disabl by this condition that they came near being unfit for his use. The presidents pro- verbal good luck was, however, with him. 4 gentle rain was falling when he arrived at Stamboul on Saturday, and there have been two or three showers since. None of them has been of great duration, but they have well served the purpose of putting the for est in the best possible condition for both man and beast in stalking game.
 While the atmosphere is steaming hot between showers, the president is reported to be showing himself capable of rising above this condition in so far that neither heat nor rain has been permitted to interfere with sport. The camp ground is well situated and, while on low land is not in a swamp, the site being comparatively dry.
 Persons who have seen the tent say it is well furnished. There is plank floor and a wooden wall running up four feet from the ground. The table is literally supplied with fruits, canned delicacies and fresh venison. Holt Col Her. champion Mississippi negro bear hunter, reported at the presidents camp, ready for business in the cane brakes. He came down from Greene vile on a boat and brought with him fine kennel of dogs.

THE GRIDIRON NEW RULES
 WORK BETTER Teams Can Work in Better Form -carlisle is Scoring Big
 Other News.

Figures, so far as they go, show that the new game of football has tended to strike better balance be- tween the scoring chances of the weak and strong than did the old. It was evident that with more of the element of chance introduced by the new rules the smaller teams would have opportunities to make headway against teams stronger physically and stronger scientifically by reason of better coaching that they did not have when there was so much less opportunity for them to get hold of the ball. This chance has come about-and with it a sport that is more interesting to play and to watch-yet not to such an extent as to depreciate the relative value of strength and skill.
 What favorable change in condi- tions that has resulted has been gradual-not pronounoed-but in favor of the new rules. The happy combination has resulted in less scoring by the big teams, yet with quite enough scoring by them to dis sipate the fears that the ten yard rule would make ground gaining so difficult as to spoil the game. A rule that tends to make games less one sided surely has at least one virtue and while there is a falling off in scoring by the stronger side, the total under the new code is sufficient to satisfy the most ardent desire for results.
 Taking the same number of games for 1905-before the rules were changed-and for 1906 and 1907, and the scoring was heavier under the 1905 rules. That is, it was heavier by the winners A list of seventy-one games-that being the amount recorded so far by one fol- lower of the sport-shows a total of 1,290 points by the winners this sea" son. The total for the same num- Der of games for last year-likewise being the first seventy-one played was 1,305, while that for the first seventy-one games played in 1905 was 1,733. Now as to the losing sides. Forty-nine points were scored by them in 1905, 46 in 1906 and 70 in 1907. This indicates that while the weaker elevens did not do as we'll the first year under the new rules as the year before, they are better this year, with more experience in the rules. So far as this scoring phase 3ofathe game is concerned the new rules have not been in existence long enough for the test to be complete, but it is satisfactory, what there has been of it.

INSIDE A DAM.
Unique Power House Near Baltimore
 Constructed Under Water.

Constructed Under Water.
 An absolutely unique power plant has been completed recently about fifteen miles below Baltimore on the Patapsco River. It is built within a dam and is entirely under water. It is the first of its kind ever built and cost much less than it would have if built in any other known way. The dam is 220 feet long, 40 feet thick at the base and 261k feet high. The spillway is 16S feet long. but the pres ent only los feet of this distance is used for housing the power plant The dam is of reinforced concrete, the shell being Is inches thick at the bottom and tapering to 10 inches at the top.
 The apron extends only half way down from the crown, the remaining downstream portion being entirely open and provided with windows by means of which the interior is light ed. The shape of the apron is such that the water is thrown some little distance away form the windows.
 AC pat u@Iu Ds EAAC HUuSt is fitted with a false ceiling hung five feet from the inside of the dam so as to protect the apparatus from any water that might sweep through the outer sheil of the dam. The dam is built of a fine and rich mixture, which was laid very wet. Aside from this. no precautions were taken to eliminate water.
 The water is fed to the turbines through steel pipes passing through the uD stream spillway shell and dis charged by draft tubes into the base of the dam, dropping into a wei sunk sOsm three feet below the river bed. The water passes thence by way of a some three feet below the river bed. out of the dam The intake is 5iS feet below rhe crest of the suiIlusv sO that the trash racks are kept clear Of drift wOOd. eie.-EIeetriezi World

Taft MAY BE PARTY TO SUIT
Mrs. Ayres Says Secretary's Letter
Was Insulting.


New York, June 1.-THE statement
Of Mrs. Ayres, wife of Lieutenant Colo
mel Charles G. Ayres, in which she
spoke Of the secretary of wars letter
to her husband forbidding her to tres
pass upon the reservation in West
Point as so insulting and despicable
that I will not repeat it or show it,
and which, she said, she had placed in
the hands of her lawyers, was consid-
cred an intimation at West Point, &C.
cording to dispatches, that she intend
ed to include Secretary Taft in the
suit for damages she has announced
she would bring.
While Mrs. Ayres refused to ex-
plain further what was in the order
which prevents her from seeing her
son, Fairfax Ayres, who is cadet at
the academy, it was stated at West
Point that Secretary Taft approved
the recommendations of Colonel Mills
and Colonel Scott in their reports to
the department on Colonel Howze's
complaint against Mrs. Ayres, which
is the basis of her suit. The secre-
tary, instead Of ordering Colonel Ayres
to remove his wife from near the post,
instructed him to prevent her from
"trespassing" upon the West Point
reservation so long as their son shall
be in the academy. If young Ayres
should ever be severely i'll, the secre-
tary adds, she will be notified and a
permit for her to see him will be is

General Ainsworth.

Frisco Assaults.

Japanese Adopt Resolution Regarding
Frisco Assaults.
Toxic, June 1.-The council of the
Progressives, at netting here, adopt
ed resolution, the substance of which
was as follows:
"The anti-Japanese feeling upon the
Pacific coast of the United States, es-
pecially in San Francisco, eliminated
in an assault upon Japanese trading
places last month, constituting a most
fragrant violation of the rights guar
anteed by the treaty concluded upon
an equal footing between the two ma
lions.
These anti-Japanese acts are not of
temporary nature and the federal
government at Washington must be
held responsible for it's failure to pre-
vent such outrages
1.-THE attitude of our government to-
wards that in Washington has so far
been unsatisfactory to the nation and
1t is necessary that proper steps
should be taken by our government
in order to maintain the national dig
nifty and permanently insure the safety
OF the rights and property of our COM
patriots in America"

Head of Christian Scientists and
Her Trustees That the Suit Brought
by "Next Friends" Be Dismissed.
Concord, N. H., June 11.-Mary Ba-
ker q. Eddy's competency to manage
her affairs must be determined by a
master, according to the decision of
Judge Robert N Chamberlain in the
Merrimac superior court This de-
c1sion was announced at the close Of a
hearing at which General Frank S.
Streeter, in the dual capacity of coun-
sci for Mrs. Eddy and for Mrs. Eddy's
three trustees, argued on a motion
asking tc have the suit brought by the
relatives of Mrs. Eddy as next
friends dismissed on the ground that
the proceedings were not brought in
good faith. Attorneys for the "next
friends" replied briefly that the suit
which names Calvin A. Frye, Mrs
Eddy's secretary, and nine other
Christian Scientists as defendants was
brought in good faith and that it would
be SO proven when the case came be-
fore the court for a decision. Judge
Chamberlain, having listened to coun-
sci, announced that he would appoint
a master to inquire into the com
potency of Mrs. Eddy. The master, it
is expected, will be named before the
end of the week.
Counsel for the plaintiffs had ex.
pressed their intention of asking that
Mrs. Fddy's competency be deter
mined by jury, but the decision that
a master be appointed to pass upon
the question: it is believed, will not
now be opposed. ..
