Constance now stepped boldly
again into the show window. She
nodded pleasantly to the disrobed
model, convincing the people outside
that she was bidding adieu to some
one in the little room, picked up her
handbag, and while examining, quite
as an intending purchaser, q costume
or two on the way out, thrust the bag
beneath the ample coat.
Now Constance knew that to hesi-
tate meant to lose. She had ever
been a believer in bold strokes, but
perhaps the boldest she ever made
was drawing the heavy curtain aside
and stepping down into the crowded
store.
She began to feel strong once
more as she threaded her way to the
door. She still kept her eyes open
for the sleuth who had ~apprehended
her on the false charge, and was
smiling at the ruse she had adopted
to escape him, when a man ran di-
rectly into her.

low tones that were Of the politest.
Constance hurried on, and smiled
again to think that he had been
eluded the second time.
Two days later a messenger boy
delivered a large box at the depart
ment store. The head floor walker
opened it in the presence of a score
of clerks, and drew forth a skirt, a
long coat and a veil. Just then the

and excited, with the Information

some strange way wandered from the

Losing Streak Survives.

The prophecy that the Commercial
Club would demolish their losing
streak when they seized upon Rich
mond as their prey Tuesday after
noon at the Elks pastime farm failed
to materialize.
The aforesaid foreigners turned
the tables and the home club got
spanked to the tune of s to O.. oh!
what a jolt. The local club is capa-
bic Of playing much better ball than

the team seemed devoid of the hot

their usual form the hieroglyphics

the other hand, the youngsters were

from the best teams in Richmond
They outclassed the boys in exper-

SUICIDE METHODS.

Statistics do not show the proper
ton Of illiterates among suicides.
The number of suicides in states and
cities of the United States which
have laws requiring the registration
of deaths in the five years Of 1900
to 1904, inclusive, as reported in the
special mortality report Of the CEN
sus office, was 20,S34. The methods
of death by suicide, in numbers,
we're: BY poison, 6,946; firearms,
1898; hanging, 3,232; asphyxia,
1887; cutting, LII; drowning,
1859; jumping from high places,
252; crushing, 81; other methods,
ii,5SoS. Insanity is the principal
cause of suicide. The largest pro-
portion of deaths by suicide, accord
ing to age, is from 40 to 40 years.
Summer appears to be the fayorite
season.

INDIANS BEAT NEBRASKA.
Westerners Score on F1uke, But are
 Never Dangerous.

Lincoln, Neb, Dec 3.-The Univer- sity of Nebraska football team, neal champions of the Missouri valley were overwhelmed by the Carlisle In dians in a game played here yester' day afternoon. The final score Wat 37 to in favor of the Indians.
 Nezraska scored her first touch down in the first three minutes ol play. With the ball on the Indians ten yard line Thorp kicked. The spiral went straight up in the air ano Nebraska got the ball under the rules. ChaIoupka tore big hole il the Indian line and Kroeger went through for touchdown.
 After that there was nothing te it but the Indians. They unraveled a variety of brilliant and diversified plays, bewildering and outgeneraline their opponents, whose goal line they crossed five times, Payne making two touchdowns, Thorp one, Wauseks one, Kelly one. Pete Hauser kicked two goals from placement. The In dian goal was never in danger aftel the first touchdown by Nebraska The Cornhuskers could not advance the ball consistently and the onl. time the ball approached the redskil goal line in the greater part of tht game was on long punts, the bal being each time returned out of dan ger

sistant manager. Fred Bauby. who has been big help to the eleven, was elected to tho position of cap- tain, and Jack Bagley was renamed as coach. Tho team next season will practically be made up of tho samo element as the season Just ended With perhaps one or two new additions.
 There was a discussion among tho players as to the advlsability of play ing gamo with Naugatuck. Some of tho boys wanted to get back at Naugatuck for calling them a cold feet" bunch, but several facts were recalled about Naugatuck on former occasions which more than satisfied all the players that the Nangatucks can get out of playing game when they feel so inclined. It Is only a few seasons ago that the All Water burys and Naugatucks each won one game. but Naugatuck refused to play the deciding game, claiming 1t was too late in the season. It was the same thing when the Acorns of Bridgeport wanted them to play a deciding game. When those facts were made known last night the players decided that the Naugatucks had nothing on them, that they were under no obligations to them as q team, and they unanimously decided to quit the game for this season.
 A high compliment was paid Mat ty Phelan last evening, who so sue cessfulIy looked after the training of the All Waterburys. The doctors bills this season were few and far be- tween, unlike the enormous physi- cians' bills of last season. This was all due to the good work of Trainer Phelan. Mike Slavin as secretary, too, came in for several words of praise, and In fact the meeting de- veloped into a regular praise fest. All felt that the season had been remarkably successful under existing circumstances and they will be ready to answer the whistle when next season comes around.

YER WEIBE AND LAKE.

The role which Yer Wiebe played in the Yale-Harvard game was filled by Everett J. Lake, now lieutenant governor of Connecticut, in the firss victory which Harvard won from Yale. The match took place in Springfield in 1890, and Lakes bat tering ram attack led the Harvard assault all through the first half and pounded back Yale till her hope of winning had begun to wane.
 As in the case of Yer Wiebe, Lake was taken from the play after his heavy artillery assault had worn down Yale and had placed Harvard close to the Yale goal. It was left for d faster player, Jim Lee, to skirt Yale's end for I touchdown, which won from the Blue. At that time Theodore Roosevelt expressed his opinion of Lakes feat, but he wasn't then president of the nation.--New Haven Register.

THE MATCH IS MADE.

Chicago, Dec 3.-A twenty-five round fight between Packey McFar- land and Freddie Welsh for New Years day at Colma was practically closed yesterday. Mcfarland and the little Briton who so decisively defeat ed Abe Attell on Thanksgiving day reached an agreement on the weight question without much wrangling, and the only thing that may prevent the fight now is failure of the prin- cipals and Promoter Coffroth to reach an agreement on how the receipts are to be divided.

In Milwaukee and Kansas City it is asserted positively that Clark Grif- filth will manage the Kansas City American association team next year and that George Tebeau stole a march on Hewenn, the Milwaukee owner, also Hermann of Cincinnati, when he secured the old fox's ser vices. Griffith and Tebeau, however, have not yet made q formal an- nouncement of the deal.
 When P. T. Powers calls the roll at the meeting of the Eastern league and the American association on Sat urday the owners of these clubs will probably be on hand: Providence. Newark, Buffalo, Jersey City, Balti- more. Toronto, Montreal, Rochester, Toledo. Columbus, Louisville. Kan- sas City. Indianapolis. Milwaukee, Minneapolis and St Paul This is a formidable array of minor league clubs and represents many thousands of dollars in base ball investments. There appears to be no good reason why these two leagues should not re- ceiye a special classification which will rate them just below the majors and just above the other minors. Base ball men say that such con cession would remove all chances for trouble in the ranks Of organized leagues for some time to come.

The pot is boiling over in the Pitts burg club. A minority stockholder is on the trail of Barney Dreyfuss and other directors of the club who have indorsed the notes of Secretary Locke. for $275.000 in payment for the new ball park to be built in the Smoky city. The minority stock holder wants to know why Dreyfuss instead of Locke, a former newspa- per man, was not named as the real purchaser of the plant. An applica- ton for an injunction has been de nied. but suit in equity will be heard in court in few weeks. Drey- fuss controls 70 per cent of the Pitts burg club and is also said to be the real owner of a majority of the stock in the Boston and Philadelphia clubs of the National league.

BASE BALL NOTES.

If President Ebbets of the Brook lyn club wants Bill Dahlen to man. age his team next season 1t is said that Dovey of the Boston Nationals will ask him to give up Tim Jordan In exchange. Ebbets still insists that Dovey some time ago promised to hand over Dahlen gratis, but as neither the Boston nor the Brooklyn magnate has ever been guilty of such a policy it looks as if there would be nothing doing unless Jordan is al lowed to go to the Hub team. Two years ago McGraw was anxious to buy Jordan's release from Brooklyn, but the big first baseman fell off in his play so much last season that he no longer commands the attention of McGraw or any other big league club manager, barring Dovey. who has made up his mind to let the veteran Dan McGann out.
