Florence, N. J., March Eight
hours of continuous laughter. from
to 10 o'clock, with scarcely minute
of rest, was the discomfort endured by
Miss Barbara Barr of this city, a men,
Der of the Baptist church choir. Miss
Barr was visiting at the home of
friends yesterday afternoon when some
one made a witty remark which
aroused her nnirth.
After a few minutes the girl found
it was impossible to stop laughing. Her
laughter could be heard for a square.
All kinds of plans to stop her were
tried but without success. Physicians
were summoned and conveyed the ex-
hausted and semi-conscious girl to her
home.
Miss Barr grew weaker every min
ute. Still laughing, she sank into slum-
Der and the spell gradually passed

Bad Silver Dollars Are Circulating in
Chanute.

Chanute, Kan, March 1.-Two Cha
mute parties have recently been made
the victims of counterfeit money pass
ers, whether accidentally or inten-
tionally is not known. Galbreath &
Myers, BARRIERS, were given a fake dol
lar in payment for shave, by stran-
ger who came in. He was given back
change. Rev. L. H. Smith, Metho-
dist circuit preacher, brought a coin
to a bank teller to find out whether it
was good, and was told it was a coun-
terfeit, but a good one. Both pieces
are made of a low grade metal, but
are apparently made from a cast of
a new silver dollar, SO that the imita-
ton is a good one.

ATLANTIC LEAGUE DIsBANDs.
ssRed" Donahue Will Have No Place
to Play Baseball.

New York. March 2.-The Athletic
Baseball league, which has been ex-
plotted on paper for several weeks, has
"gone up in smoke" When this or
ganization was first preached it was ig-
nored by the National association and
the promoters threatened to run as an
OUTLAW" circuit. AL Lawson, who had
planned to put a club in Wilmington,
in opposition to the Tristate club in
that city, has Just sold his lease on the
Wilmington ball grounds for 5000 to
the Tristaters, while John Henney, one
of the promoters of the proposed At
1antic league club in Trenton, has
thrown up the sponge.
This means that there will be no At
lantic league. Pitcher Red" Dona-
hue of the Detroits, who recently sign
ed to play with the defunct Whining
ton club, therefore, has been placed in
an awkward position.

New York, March 2.-If Jack Pail
rner, the English heavy weight, does
all he threatens to 10 to Jack O'Brien,
If he succeeds in citing on a match
with the Philadelpaian, then the latter
is going. to lose some of his reputation.
Palmer has only been on American
soil about az hours but he is so full
of busfness-fightiH he is al
ready getting nervous over the failure
OF Jack O'Brien or some other good
heavy weight to send cards and COM
pliments to the Hotel Metropole.
Palmer and his manager-trainer,
Jimmie Loves, are typical Britons. IN
deed, If they weren't dyed-in-the-woo1
subjects of King Edward, they wouldn't
be fighters.
We must not give Palmer every ray
of limelight, because he wouldn't be
fighting for a livelihood if it hadn't
been for Jimmy Loves. The latter
was a grand old bruiser in the early
days when they fought with bare
knuckIes at overwhelmingly In
those times if you couldn't change a
fighters physfognomy you didn't count.
At any rate that the way Loves viewed
the situation in those day. SO much
for Loves.
Palmer was discovered by Loves in
the coal mines at New Castle. The lat
ter place is a town where the chief
form of amusement is fighting, and
the miners must have some of these
''rough-house'' affairs at least once a
week. Loves is the man who conduct
ed the club, which since its advent in
the boxing game has seen many men,
orable battles.
This same Palmer who is here now
with a chip on his shoulder worked
in the mines. When a lad of 16 he
had his first ring experience in bare
knuckle fight. He gave every evidence
of developing into a champion, and
Loves took him in hand and put him
in condition to win the English cham
pionship, which he lost recently on
foul.
Palmer is % years of age now and,
although not as handsome as our pu-
gilists, he looks like a fellow who wants
tight and lots of it, too. In condition
he weighs ITO pounds and in length
and breadth compares favorably with
Jack O'Brien. His legs are not bulky,
but he is we'll proportioned and de-
veloped above the waist In looks he
is almost boyish, but might be put
down as a fellow who would prove
Tartar, If spurred on to action.
In rich cockney dialect Palmer ex-
planned that he came here to fight and
win money and glory.

Scheme to Amuse the Prisoners at the
United States Penitentiary.

Leavenworth, Kan, March 2-The
organization of baseball teams is the
plan of Superintendent F. E. Kinds
of the construction department. of the
United States penitentiary for the COM
ing summer. The convicts have a
{ band, choir. library and school, SO
Why not a baseball nine?
The scheme is finding approval
among the prison authorities who seem
to think that it will establish better
discipline and health among the pris-
oners who would take part in the
games which would be played on some
of the vacant grounds inside the
prison.
In other prisons of the country base
ball games and even football and bas-
ketball games are played by the con-
vfcts, besides having gymnasium,
where different sports are INDUCED in.
So why not the federal prison here,
says Superintendent Kinds.

TOPEKA TEAM WON.
Defeated the Kansas City Basket Ball
Five by Score of 81 to %.

In a fast and exciting game of
basket ball at the skating rank last
night the Topeka high school five won
from the Manual Training high
school team from Kansas City
by the score of 81 to p. For
a high school game the playing
was very fast The local team was
a good deal lighter than the Kansas
City boys but what they lacked in
weight they made up for in speed and
team work. There was a noticeable
lack of knowledge as to the exact To-
cation of the goals by the Kansas City
goal thrower.
The local team was the first to score
and they maintained the lead through
out the entire game. The game start
ed with fierce playing by both sides
and this was kept up throughout the
first half. The playing in the first half
was pretty even and the half ended
with a score of 15 to IL in favor of
Topeka.
In the second half the playing was
more loose and the players seemed
very much fatigued. This half from
spectacular standpoint was not as in
tereSting as the first half. For a time
both teams played ragged game but
towards the end the local boys got to-
gether and increased their lead over
the Missouri boys. Ringenberger was
Topeka's star, while High did the best
work for the visitors.
The teams lined up as follows:
Kansas City. Position. Topeka.
BARLEY Forward .Ringenberger
High ....... Forward -. Walworth
Dunsman -. Center ......... Cope
