GOLF IN STRANGE PLACES

average golf courses, Ithas some hazards to which we are not accustomed, such as hedges of cactus and the terrible commonly 'pigefaoe."
 East of Suez, says the poet, the ten commandments are abolished, but there
 Is still hope for the benighted there, for golf fiourishes. India has several golf courses and Ceylon has a fluorishing club at Colombo. Then. at Rangoon, in Burmah, By the old Mulmein pagoda, looking eastward to the sea-" men are playing golf and playing well. It is quite a superior variety of golf that is to be met with in India. Scotsmen who have learned the game at St. Andrews, and Prestwick and Muirfield are numerous in the oivil service and commercial life, and then there is always the British army to draw upon. In the hills, in Kashmir, there is the Gu1marg Golf club, where they have a regular encampment of golf CTS in season, the tents on the noun tainside bordering the course giving 1t very picturesque appearance.
 Ceylon golfers claim that they have the best golf course east of Suez. and this is probably true, for men from all parts of the east mako pilgrimages to the sunnyside to play their favorite game. Except in point of distance-the course is short-it seems almost perfect. The want of distance is made up by the abundance of hazards, and good hazards, too, which make low scoring difficult. A writer familiar with good golf says: If you want to know what the greens are like just turn over in your mind what Is the most perfect green you have ever putted on, and remember that all are like that" Apparently the climate is per- feet.

 CHICAGO, Aug. "A duel to the death took place here today between a colored policeman and a waiter, the latter losing his life.
 The policeman, whose name Is Rich- ard Hall, had been threatened many times by the waiter who had developed a sort of mania. Today the waiter laid in wait on the policeman's beat and opened fire the moment he made his appearance.
 He succeeded in firing several shots before Hall got his revolver to work, when fusillade was exchanged until the waiter dropped his gun and top pied over. The hostility had been caused by the arrest in a former time of the waiter by the policeman who had wounded his man before capturing him.

TOXIC. Dec. 4--2 p m.-The recall OF Wis
count Aoki, japanese ambassador at Wash
ington. is the result Of his own expression
OF a desire TO resign, and no official an
nouneement is expected until after his ar
rival in Toxic II is now regarded as a
foregone conclusion that Ambassador Aoki
will not return TO Washington. The ques-
tion Of his probable successor. in the event
his resignation is accepted, has been long

this connection include Baron Kane1o.
formerly special envoy 10 the United

japanese ambassador to Italy and formerly

now understood that M. Takahira Is flrst

Kaneko can be spared, so Takahira viii
undoubtedly be appointed II he IS sccepta-
Bile at Washington. The Associated Press
is assured by the highest authority in the
Foreign office that the recall OF viscount
Aod is rot intended as reflection upon
his course. but a possible change at Wash
intgon has long been imminent. Neither
should the present action be construed to
denote the slightest change in the friendly
attitude OF the japanese government toward

GOVERNMENT LAYING IN COAL

WASHINGTON. Dec. A-Acting upon
specific orders OF the president. the War
department made every effort in its vari-
Gus branches to acquire before the FIRST OF
october all OF the coal necessary 90 be
used at army posts throughout the COM
ing winter. In issuing these orders the
president followed the suggestion OF the
Interstate Commerce commission, acting
upon recommendation Of the president OF
the Northern Pacific railway that the fed
eral government should set a good example
by laying in an adequate fuel supply for
all its offices or branches In the northwest
well In advance OF winter 80 as TO avoid
50 far as possible the trouble caused by
the shortage Of fuel IN that region last
winter. This" the president said, 'fs ex-
cellent advice" and he gave orders ae-
cordingly.
Army duartermasters have found no DIFF
ficulty IN obtaining fuel and forage this
year rs was at one time expected, but
prices have Rppreciably advanced for both.
This years contract prices are from 20
10 S per cent higher than those Of last
year. when the prices were Is per cent
greater than those OF the preceding year.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. A-severRl Of the
independent anthracite operators, after at
tempts to induce the Reading and some
OF the other big anthracite companies to
take the initiative in further advancing
the prices Of steam sizes Of hard coal, have
raised the price from Is to Is cents ton
at the mines.
The Reading so far has declined TO make
any further advance IN the price OF these
sizes. one of the reasons assigned being
that the last advance Of Is cents ton
made some weeks ago. had not vet become
operative in many instances where pre-
vious contracts were concerned. with the
expiration Of most OF these contracts, on
January /. this advance will become gen
eral, and unless some falling OF in the
demand is indicated by that time It is
probable that an additional advance will
bo made before the Reading makes any
new contractR
