MATINEE GIRL WITH KNOCKOUT DROPS FOR RICH
LADIES AND A WOMAN FAGN BACKER HAS ARRIVED

Special Correspondence to The Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-The inno-
cent looking matinee girl with a
box of daintily disguised knockout
drops for wealthy women is the
latest arrival from the underworld.
She plays for high stakes, this
demure-faced maiden. She buys a
box seat in a theater she has
studied well, and the character of
whose patrons she has analysed to
nicely.
When the victim arrives the box
may be empty. Presently the de-
mure-faced one enters and her big
eyes open in well simulated wonder
Or perhaps she may be waiting
wide-eyed and timid.
The sympathetic matron is at
tracted by her fresh young inno-
cence. She ventures a casual re-
mark and the shrinking one replies
with becoming diffidence. Gradual
ly the conversation grows and the
matron is charmed by the naive
manner of the girl.
Slowly the matinee maid loses
her protecting reserve She unbos-
oms her ideals to the matron, con-
fides In her and asks her advice on
the little questions that perplex
young girlhood.
And the matron, delighted at
winning her confidence, talks in a
heart to heart way with the air OF
| that superior wisdom of the middle
aged.
Her jewels flash dazzlingly before
the girls wonder filled eyes, and
woman-like she enjoys it.
So it goes until the bill is hall
gone. Then the innocent one tears
the wrappings off a box of caramels
and proffers the luscious dainties
to her temporary chaperon. And
they MUNICH contentedly and watch
the play.
Presently there is a suspicious
culver about the matron's lips. She
has paled strangely and there is a
dizziness and queer numbness OF
the brain coming over her. The girl
is quick to detect, quick to inquire
and offer assistance.
They leave the box and reach the
ladies' parlor. the girl lending as
sistance that is more needed at
every step. Once there the matron
collapses. And while the attend.
ants are busily engaged in minister.
ing to her needs the girl confident
ly takes charge Of her purse, her
hand bag, and such jewels as it may
be advisable to remove. Then in

MRS. JAS. SMITH.

HACKENSACK, N. j., Jan. %
Mrs. Jas. Smith, of this village, who
recently startled the eastern bowl
ing world by rolling 231 game,
may be one of the competitors at
the national bowling tournament in
February.
Mrs. Smith is a bowling enthu-
siast. Following her high score,
she rolled five games averaging 1872.
She has frequently put up 200
scores, and shortly before establish
ing the new high mark for New Jer-
sey and Greater New York, rolled
221 and 204.
Mrs. Smiths remarkable work Is
more extraordinary because she
does not bowl oftener than once a
week, and sometimes let's a month
pass without going near an alley.
She uses 16 pound rubber ball
and cross-alley delivery with q
reverse curve.

ball, and when it strikes the head
pin right 1t does not require much
speed to get the pins" she said.

second game. | have never bowled
for money and do not care to do so,
but am willing to meet any woman

athletic circles are wrought UP to a
high pitch over the Irish Athletic
club-Mat Halpin controversy, which
has resulted in the Suspension of
Ray Ewry, the worlds champion
standing broad and high jumper,
following charges by Halpin.
Ever since { thSx.s-St OlymnsA
games. which the American teaff~
won handily, Halpin, who managed
the team, has been hated cordially
by the athletes. Recently, when the
Olympic games committee of the
Amateur Athletic union declared
Halpin would manage this years.
team, a protest was filed by the I.
A. c., which refused to send an ath-
lete abroad under Halpin's control.
So heated did the argument be-
come that charges were flung right
and left, Halpin eventually alleging
that Ewry and others were not
simon pure amateurs. Almost every,
sporting writer in New York has,
lined up with the athletes against
Halpin, who, however. seems to
have the backing Of the Olympic
committee.
1t is probable that the wrangle'
will have much 10 do with the
breaking up of the autocratic A. A.

Long Lived Apple Trees.

How old can an apple tree grow?
| have a few Of the trees planted by
Sconondoah. the Oneida chief. with
Doninie Kirkland. the missionary, In
1871. These trees. now considerably
more than 100 years old. still bear an
abundance OF fruit. The wood Is in
good condition. Notwithstanding many
years OF neglect The average age OF
an orchard as generally planted and
cared for rarely exceeds fifty years
am inclined 10 think that the more
sturdy sorts can be made to exceed
1850 years. In order to attain any
such age there must be selection OF
varieties and they must be grated
high up on tough stock. Our fathers
apple trees were grated In the tops.
but the apes planted in these days
are grated In the roots. However.
one must not cling too long to an
old tree.-Outing.

) support which he claims at their
hands.
IA As he has he'd no Official position
by which his public acts have demon
strated his fitness for the position to
which he aspires. we can only judge
of his qualifications by considering
the various theories which. from time
to time. he has advanced, and weigh
ing them in the balance of reason
aud studying them in the light OF
history.
His speech OF acceptance, in con
