TWO COSTLY TIES.
Are Imported From Manchuria at q
Cost of S175.

New York, Dec. 3.-What are believed
to be the two costliest railroad ties have
arrived in New York. They are in the
possession of L. D. Cooper. an Ameri-
can who lives in Manchuria. Mr.. Coop
er is at the Hotel Aston.
Mr.. Cooper had engaged to show w.
r. Grace & Co. samples of railway
sleepers, and he brought two long ones
all the way from Vladivostok with him
as excess baggage. Their transporter
ton via the Transsiberian railway, the
Nord express. and over the Atlantic
ocean, cost him SITS.
If American forests fail and those of
Canada give out. newspapers may still
be published in the United States from
paper made of wood pulp, according to
Mr.. Cooper, who says that Manchuria
is able to provide all the wood pulp,
as well as much of the lumber, this
country would be likely to need for
many years.

General Wardwells was q veteran Of

contracted leprosy. As the disease de-
veloped she felt she must leave her
husband. Secretly and with much suf.
fering she got to Los Angeles and gave
herself up to the authorities. They

But the old warrior would not give
! up his wife. He pleaded for permis-
sion to take her to Mexico. He was
refused.
Then one morning the window of his
wife's room in the hospital was found
open.

MILLIONAIRES
WIN FAST GAME

One of the fastest roller polo games
ever seen at Eleventh Street Rink was
hat last night. when The team from
the Million Dollar Pier at Atlantic
City defeated the Lenox FIVE by n
score Of 3 to 2. It was anybody's
game until the finish. Tor the winning
goal was Gagged one minute before time
was called.
The teams went at each other from
the start. The players on both sides
went in with such speed that scientific
team play was almost abandoned and
each player devoted himself to trying
to capture and shoot the ball. At times
there were flashes of scientific passing,
but attempts at this stvle Of play wer
soon broken up by the tactics of the
opposing players in swooping down
upon the ball. There was not an idle
minute Of the thirty-hve devoted To
the match, and the spectators did sonie
old time roofing" especially during
the second half.
The first goal was Gagged by Atlantic
City in fourteen minutes. There was
no further scoring during that half. In
the second half, after eight minutes
Stevens scored for Wilmington. Weldir
for Atlantic City Gagged another goal
two minutes later, and Allbaugh in two
more minutes tied the score. With
but three minutes remaining to play
and with the score at tie, Deven.
dorfer shot the winning goal for tho
seashore boys. His playing caught the
crowd from the start, tor he displayed
remarkable speed on skates and in
chasing the ball. In the first hall
Stevens and Hill for awhile had the At.
lantic City team on the run and drove
several shots at the cage. but were un.
able to score, and the seashore boys
rallied.
