FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AND
THE INDIANAPOLIS T. T. CLUB
ON SUNDAY.

Sunday the strong Indianapolis I. T.
club will be the attraction at Athletic

summer weather will be on tap this
date and if such is the case look out
for the biggest crowd of the season.
Either Horn or Fisher will be in the
box for the locals. Fisher will be tn

The two new men, Williams and
ellis, secured from the defunct Hart

Jessup Wednesday afternoon and are
taking a workout with the locals. Gill
lis is said to be a conner. He fields
his position cleverly and has a reputa-
ton as being a demon slusger. III
such be the case, room can be found
for him with the locals. Williams is
a finished infielder and some pump

Recently Cunningham has been hit

will not have to exert himself TO Gov

LADY POLE-CAREW MOST
BEAUTIFUL ENGLISH WOMAN
Four Ladies of Gentle Birth and Two Actresses Are
Picked as Leaders in Beauty Contest.

Charming Lady Pole-C arew is Eng
lands foremost beauty.
Hundreds of individuals have
thought SO for the last five years, but
now it is all officially settled.
No one man was entrusted with the
task of deciding such momentous
question. Even Paris himself who
made the historic decision between
Juno, Venus dsSMinerva, would prob
ably have shrunk from picking out
from the many entries the one daugh-
ter of Britain who excelled all the 9TH
ers.
Instead a popular vote was held
with this result:
1. Lady Pole-Carew.
. 2. Lady Helen Vincent.
3. Princess Henry of Pless.e
4. The Duchess Of Sutherland.
S. Julia Nelson.
6. Evelyn Millard.
The vote that resulted in this choice
was an honest one, for it represented
popular poll, everybody being permit
ted to vote from king to beggar
King Edward himself took keen
interest in the outcome of the ballot,
and it is even whispered that he cast
a vote, but which of the fair danes OF
lhis realm received his suffrage is a
secret that he probably would not
have disclosed for liberal percentage
of his royal allowance. Even Ed
wards popularity could hardly survive
the resentment of those he overlooked.
The choice Of Lady Pole Carew is
popular, for she has long been pictured
as the typical British beauty More
over, she has a great personal follow
ing, part of which probably results
from the valorous part her husband,

BRYCE is HIGHEST PAID
OF BRITISH DIPL OMATS
BAduancing Salary to $780, 900 Year, Great Britain
Makes Washington First in It's Diplomacy.

England has just paid to Uncle Sam
the greatest compliment of his diplo-
matte history.
Johnny Bull takes off his hat, and
announces that in the Importance OF
relations with England, the United
States is the foremost government OF
the world.
This announcement has not been
made in SO many words, but in far
more substantial manner. It's truth is
attested in solid cash, for besides
picking out one of it's foremost citi-
Zens as ambassador, England has just
raised his salary till it is the highest
paid any diplomat in the service Of
King Edward.
Mr.. Bryce, who has just taken pos
session of the British embassy, will get
$4,000 salary every year that he rep
resents England in this country. This
is as much money as goes to President
Roosevelt for conducting the affairs of
this nation. 1t is three times as much
as Ambassador Reid, who represents
Uncle Sam at the court of St. James,
gets for his years toll.
But the fact most important is that
the $4,000 stipend is $4,000 more than
the English ambassador to France Is
paid, and he was heretofore ranked
as the most important of British dipio-
mats.
This is most profound recognition of
the position of commanding impor-
lance the United States has taken in
the worlds councils
When after the struggle for freedom
in the days of 76, the arms of the
American colonists had been crowned
with victory, and the mother country
grudgingly conceding independence,
sent minister to the new republic,
that individual was counted one of the
least significant of English diplomats,
and probably thought himself lucky to
draw one thousand pounds per year.

Lower Part Of Letters OF Little Con-

Gated by the shape of the upper half

SPanish-American war forced the Uni
ted States to the forefront diplomat
ically, and forged chains of friendship
between the United States and Greas
Britain that had not up to the time
been deemed possibility.
For many years Washington was
ranked with st. Petersburg as a post
of diplomatic Importance, and the sal
airy was the same, $4,000, but now it
has gone into the lead, and Bryce II
the costliest man among Britain's en-
voys.
At the present time the new anlbas-
sador and his wife are expanding $1O,-
600 allowed them by England to retit
the embassy. He is finding it congen-
post, and expects to spend many more,
years here.
Bryce is one of the first men ever
sent to Washington from England who
comes as a close friend, who has al
ways admired the United States, and
openly voiced his admiration at home
among many of those who dc motor
ola nOC-Snare II.
Mr.. Bryce comes less as a diplomat
than as foremost English statesman,
who regards Americans as kinslsen.
For thirty years he has been accepted
by Britons as the foremost authority
on all matters pertaining to the Uni
ted States. His book on the American
commonwealth is a classic in the
worlds library, and no citizens of the
United States could have treated the
subject more Understandings or with
better justice an enthusiasm for the
country's institutions.
In fact it can be truthfully said that
Bryce knows more about America
than the majority of Americans. New
ertheless the new ambassador has not
been among those who talk mawkishly
of "hands across the sea-, and advise
armed alliances. AS a matter of fact
he has always opposed and 'ententes'
between the two countries, and preach
ed that an honorable, but entirely indie
pendent friendship, was the best pos
sible basis of relations.
It is a curious fact that in most OF
his attitudes on important public ques-
tions, Bryce has been on the same side
that has been popular in the United
States.
He is strongly in favor of home rule
for Ireland, he opposed the Boer war,
even though the act cost him many OF
his friends at home. he advocated the
cause of the oppressed Bulgarians in
the eighties, and the Armenians in the
nineties.
His opposition to the BOer war is a
remarkable chapter, for prior to it's
out break he was the closest friend
and ardent champion of Cecil Rhodes.
He always argued that Britons resid-
ing in the Boer country had a right to
some voice in the government toward
the support of which they were heavily
taxed, but when the war came he
changed front 1t was his contention
that adequate cause for conflict had
not existed. He bore the reproach OF
being proBoer without protest, and
fought the conflict to the end.
When Mr.. Balfour resigned office 81
the end of 1905, Sir Canpbell-Banncr-
man appointed Mr.. Bryce chief secre-
tary for Ireland, and it was the paiIis-
taking work of Bryce in this post that
commended him for selection to the
highest priced place in the gift of the
British crown.
The new ambassador is thorough.
He masters every detail. During his
time in Ireland, he filled his mind with
information that made him invaluable
at all councils. 1t will be the same at
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1907-04-20

Washington though he starts with the
prime advantage of knowing the sub
ject well already.
President Roosevelt especially vel
coined the appointment of Mr.. Bryce,
because of the mutual admiration that
exists between the two men of letters.
Indeed, the bond of friendship is very
close, as Mr.. Bryce is not only a
scholar, but also an athlete, after the
presidents own heart.
In view of the close Affiliations OF
Mr.. Bryce with the people of his new
post, it is also interesting to note that
Mrs. Bryce is descended of American
stock, her maternal grandfather hay
ing been Samuel Stillman Fair of Bos-
ton, Mass, who went to England early
in the last century, and became the
Liverpool partner of the famous firm
Of Barring Brothers.
Mrs. Bryce has long taken an inter
est in political matters, and also in So
cial problems
Although sixty-eight years Of age,
Bryce still remains quite an athlete.
He is a good walker, fair golfer, and
owns a motor car.

SE1UN HOODOO DESK
CLERKS AT WASHINGTON ARE
sUPERsTITloUs.
No One Cares to Work at Places
That Seem Marked Out for Mis-
fortune-Doorkeep Post
an Example.

A series of misfortunes involving
dismissals, designations and deaths
in the executive departments in
Washington often develops what is
known as the "hoodoo DESK" says the
Washington Post.
A desk comes under suspicion after
dismissal of two from the service
or after several transfers or resigna-
tons, and if there should occur sew
eral deaths among the occupants Of
the desk in the course of a year or
two it is designated as the hoodooed
desk, and no one in that room cares
to do clerical work at it. In a room
filled with clerks the hoodoo desk is
easily recognized, for it is most gen
orally occupied with the surplus
books and general litter of the daily
routine work.
The desk may remain unoccupied
sometimes for months, until some
new clerk comes into the room and
is assigned to it, provided there is
no other vacant desk in the room
Bureau officials generally avoid as
signing a new clerk to the hoodoo
desk if it can be done. In fact, the
desk, is apt to remain without an oc-
cupant until radical changes in the
personnel Of the Office cause its repu-
tation to be forgotten
In one department there is hoodoo
desk from which four clerks have
died in the last two years, two have
resigned, one has been dismissed and
three have been transferred. There
fore, no one cares to occupy it now.
A $1,000 clerk said several days ago,
in half-hearted way, that he would
move from his present room and try
it for awhile if they would promote
him to $1,000. He said afterward,
however, that he was merely joking
But there are other hoodoos in
Washington Some years ago a door
keepers post in the war department
building came under the ban and it
was a source of considerable annoy
ance to the officials
At this particular door the first mis-
fortune was death, the second dis
missal, the third holder of the post
lost his wife, by death and finally fell
and broke a limb, and the fourth ap-
pointee in succession lost child and
then resigned. This resignation kept
the place vacant for a time, as no
one could be induced to take it. The
place had to be filled by calling ON
the civil-service commission for some
one from the outside.
Perhaps the most conspicuous case
of a hoodoo desk in any one of the
Washington executive departments
was that in which a succession Of
misfortunes came to private secre-
taries of one of the assistant secre-
taries. Several deaths and other mis-
fortunes made the place dreaded,
