Men and wOmen ~ Eaters,
In a small west side Chicago restaurant
that caters to persons on economy bent the
bill OF fare is headed by this notice:
Regular Dinner-Men, % cents women,
Is cents"
How il this7" asked a chance customer,
belonging to the sex most heavily taxed.
''You charge us fellows 10 cents more than
you do the women. h have we done
that we should be Disseminated ~against7''
"Yo eat MORE was the plain rejoin-
der. TT doesn't cost nearly as much to
feed women as men but we are the first
concern in this part of town hat has been
brave enough to say 30 in plain print
Many foreign restaurants have recognized
that fact and have regulated their charges
accordingly. Boarding houses, too, are well
acquainted with the masculine appetite

However. If the male boarder is subject
to excessive charges, he always has the
satisfaction of knowing he gets his moneys
worth. Waters in Institutions of that
kind are required to report IN the kitchen
whether an order is for a LADY or gentle
man. and the cook dishes up in proportion
to the capacity Of the diner. Some cheap
restaurants have adopted the plan of serv-
inc IadvlTka' nOr4ions at rock bOttom pricAa-
thereby enabling the man with an appetite
to double up on his order and preserve a
fair ration between the cost Of mems and
women's meals. But we like our plan bet
ter. It gives everybody a fair show and
prevents confusion"
Home Life In Germany.
There is something quite refreshing in
the manner in which Mrs. Alfred Sidg-
wick, an -EnRlishwoman, writes OF Home
Life In Germany" describing what she
herself saw. To either an English OF
American woman, certain customs, which
have almost a sacredness to the German,
appear absurd. and they feel as Mrs.
gidEwick does when she says:
II am always mazed, as the Cornish say,
when Germans talk of their freedom from
convention. In Hamburg I was once Sc
rtously rebuked by an old friend for
carrying a book through the streets that
was not wrapped up in paper. In Ham
burg that Is one OF the things hat peo-
pie don't DO. In MAinz and many other
German towns there are certain streets
where one side. for reasons no one can
explain, is tabooed at certain hours Of the
day; not OF the night. but Of tho day. You

Glad to Quit the white HOr

II is doubtful II the wife OF any presi-
dent ever left the White House with as
little regret as Mrs. Roosevelt will leave 1t,
reports the Washington Herald. Her duties
have not been either unpleasant or irk-
some. and she has had keen pleasure in
some Of the privileges that have come to
her a. the first lady In tbs land" but
aimee the assassination OF President Nc
KinIey advanced her husband to the chief
position she has a q sword OF Damocles
hanging over her in the possibility that
her husband might meet with a Like fate.
She Is, too, essentially a domestic woman;
her home life. the society OF her husband
and her children. have always been very
dear to her. and since she became the mis-
tress OF the White House she has had to
make many sacrifices in this direction; nor
has she been able to indulge her literary
taste. To meet the onerous duties Of every
day is all that IL possible for the wife of
a president. and what ssclusion she en-
joys must be sought in her mountain home
or on the yacht that carries her away from
the eKGctions Of her position.
But there are many things which, when
she turns her back upon Washington, Mrs
Roosevelt will leave with regret, not the
least OF which is the rare and beautiful col.
lection Of orchids that the gardener Of the
public grounds, knowing her penchant foi
these floral euriosities, has collected and
grown for her enjoyment This collection
has been enriched by presents from al
over the world. notably from the Philip
pines, where they grow in great beauty ant
profusion. Among the varieties that hav,
been sent from there by the army and nav
officers who AVE Mrs. Roosevelt's pet IA,

with her father recently ana has travelled
with him extensively. She is very fair. with
bright eyes and spirited manner. Like Miss
Taft, she is quite confident that her own
father will sway public favor TOWARD the
ticket he represents In November.
Miss DesdemonA Chafin, the Chicago aspi-

House debutante. is a typical school girl.
With a wealth Of brown hair. dark flashing
eyes and healthy pink cheeks, she Is aptly
fitted to reign as a daughter of a presi-

Unlike Miss Taft or Miss Bryan, she has
never had the advantage OF a private school
training, but is an eighth grade pupil At
the Mcpherson grammar school She is a
leader in the classroom, as we'll as on the
play ground. and has attained a high grade
in her public school work.
Miss Chain has inherited from her father

Robert Morey Charged with Heinous
Offense Of Stealing Ride.

For the first time in the history of
the court of Topeka, a charge OF COM
hitting a misdemeanor against a rail-
road company was fled with that
court Friday. Ben Judkins, a Rock
Island special agent and former city
detective, preferred the charge before
the county attorney, against Robert
Morey, tramp whom he caught try

free ride. Under a state law, judi
lSins charges Morey with attempting
to board q train in motion, with the
intent to steal ride Morey is in the
county Jail, and thereby hangs the
tale.

ROCKEFELLER Is WARY.
Refuses to Take Alleged Sword of
Cromwell From Custom House.

New York, Sept. 26.-Unless John
d. Rockefeller sends to the appraisers
stores for the antique sword said to
have been worn by Oliver Cromwell,
which was consigned to Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter by an English woman, an admirer
of the capitalist, the weapon will be
nut up at auction by the government
and sold to the highest bidder Octo-
Der 6.
In a short note attached to the
sword the sender said the relic was
youched for as having belonged to the
great commoner, and that only Pc
cuniary reasons Influenced her in dis
posing of an heirloom of such price
less worth. Under the circumstances
the donor of the sword expressed the
hone that Mr.. Rockefeller would ac-
cept the sword and send draft for a
sum commensurate with the value of
the weapon.
When the sword reached the custom
house it was addressed merely to "Mr.
Rockefeller, West Fifty-fourth
street, New York"
Mr. Rockefeller was communicated
with but has declined to accept the
sword or pay the accruing duties. The
letter accompanying the sword also
remains unanswered.
1t is reported that Mr.. Rockefeller
sent a representative to inspect the
relic. His report is understood to have
been unfavorable to- the purchase of
the weapon.

KELLY AND PAPKE OCT. IS.
The Two Fast Fighters to Meet in Ten
Round Bout.

Chicago, Sept 26.--Billy Papke and
Hugo Kelly are practically certain to
meet in a ten-round bout in Milwau-
kee, Oct IT, This seemed assured last
night. when Sylvie Ferreti, who man.
ages Kelly, agreed to Papke's terms OF
$1,000 for such a bout, win, lose or
draw.
Papke reached the city yesterday at
noon and departed at 6:10 p. m. for
Kewanee. Both here and in kewanee
he was the object of great enthusiasm
and popular tributes from his friends
and adherents. When he met Ferret
he Informed him that he was willing
to fight Hugo Kelly again, but that he
insisted on having $4,000 for his end.
Ferret at once agreed to this and
wired to Harlan Zea of the Milwaukee
Boxing Club, aSki~ - to guarantee
the $1,000 to Papke and to deduct it
from the receipts before figuring out
Kelly's share of the purse. When Yea
seemed dubious about such propo-
sition Ferret decided that he would
take a chance himself and said that
he would be willing to make up any
deficiency in the total. should that
prove necessary. The club has prac-
ticaIly decided to card the men Oct.
16 and to let Papke and Kelly attend
to details between them.

Twenty of the Auto Endurance Cars to
Reach X. C. This Afternoon.

lola, Kan, Sept. 26.-It was a mud
hole by the side of the Flint hills that
ruined the chances of Carl Simons's
Maxwell car getting perfect score in
the auto endurance run. The car ran
over the Flint hills nicely and coasted
down a hill into an innocent looking
bed of mud at one side of the road. 1t
proved to be of much greater depth
than Simons estimated and it took
nearly two hours to dig out. The car
was an hour late into Eureka.
The Rambler car fell from grace
when the official inspector got at it
last night. The car made the hard
schedule all right, but at the expense
of a broken fender bolt and lost hub
cap. Each of these resulted in loss
OF points.
The little Chalmers Detroit, hith-
erto credited with perfect score, had
its trouble all in bunch. A tire blew
up and while the occupants OF the
car were out looking at it another tire
burst. Repairs were made and then
the tube of the compressed air bottle
could not be found. The tires had to
be filled with air by hand pump and
the operation took an hour and twelve
minutes.
The Packard and Stevens-Durxea
cars lost more points on account of
high and dry on hog BACKS" SO that
the hywheels were choked by the
earth and had to be dug out with a
spade before the motors would run.
The first car is due to reach the
Kansas City end of the run at 4:30
O'Clock. Twenty cars are expected to
finish the run.

New York, Sept. 2s.-The Cincin-
natl team knocked out of the box at
the Polo grounds Friday two of New
York's pitchers and gave the local
club q doubleheaded setback, to 1
and to 2, which, with the other re-
suits of the day leaves New York but
a single point of margin pennantward.
The pitchers who proved powerless
to keep down the visitors runs were
Marquard, the acquisition from the In
dianapolis club, who was retired from
the box I'm the fifth inning of the first
game. after Ave runs had been scored
by Cincinnati; and Durham, whose
first work at the box was of good quail
ity. bat who soon lost effectiveness
and was relieved in the eighth by Tay-
Tor, after two more runs had been
scored by the visitors.
New York lost the second game
through inability to connect consecu-
lively with Debec's offerings, while
McGinnity, pitching for the locals, was
knocked out of the box in the second
inning. when the visitors crossed the
plate four times.
Crandall pitched out the game. Gin
cinnati fielded Clearly and at times
brilliantly, while New Xork's work in
the field was far below its usual form.

NEW ATTACK ON WILKINSON.
Anonymous Circular With Reference
to His Bloodhounds.

A new anonymous brand of campaign
literature is being circulated In small
way, by enemies of John Wilkerson,
sheriff. 1t consists of a small printed
slip, and seems intended for circulating
among colored voters. Special attention
is called to the Wilkerson blood
hounds, which it IS claimed are for
the purpose of chasing poor colored
people, and continues with the wild as
sertion that Wilkerson hires negroes to
act as bait for the dogs, thus giving
them an appetite. The circular brags
extensively of the virtues of Frank
Simms, the Democratic candidate, and
urges colored voters to work for him.
Wilkerson considers the circular a
Joke, and thinks it will do him no harm.
1.-THE assertion that / am training the
dogs to hunt negroes" said Wilkerson,
lis all foolishness and the colored peo-
pie know 1t. have never allowed a
colored man to act as bait on any of
my training trips, for the simple rea-
son that, unless the dogs will hunt
white people, they are failure. Dogs
which would case colored people only,
would be worthless in this country,
where a majority of the crimes are
committed by whites"
Simms, the Democratic candidate,
says that he has nothing to do with the
circular, and does not approve of 1t.
'Such fool work as that will lose me
votes" ne said this morning. THE per-
son doing this may think he Is doing
me a favor, but he is not. and wish
he would stop It,

SORE FEET AT CORNELL.
Drought Has Made Gridiron Hard and
Too Dry.

Ithaca, N. Y, Sept. 26.-The effect
of the drought on football was no.
ticed on the Cornwall gridiron when
many of the squad reported stone
bruises and blistered feet. despite the
extra leather soles with which Trainer
Moakley has equipped the men.
With seventeen men on the gridtron
Coaches Larkin and Halliday began
work with the forward pass, and the
ends and backs were worked out in
handling swift, low throws. Clarence
Pope. of East Orange, n. J., hero of
the Chi Psi fraternity house fire sew
eral years ago, made an impression at
half-back. and later displayed consid-
cradle skill in punting. Capt. Valdez
had him under his tutelage for an
hour. Pope and Palmer, with Gard
ner at quarterback, and Tydeman
and Eberling. with Caldwell at quar-
ter, worked many many very pretty
passes. Speed is the watchword for
all of the players. Move, sub left
