FEATHEEWE1GHT
WANTS A FIGHT

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-A new aspi-
rant for the featherweight title has ar
rived in New Yorl- from England, In
the person of Jem Driseoll, and will
probably make his first public appear
ance in the ring this week. He will
attempt to prove his prowess by fight
ing Abe Attell the worlds champion,
and Matty Baldwin.
Jem Driscoll brings with him from
England the title Of featherWaight
champion. He is a rugged looking
youngster who tips the scales at 127
pounds as he stands feet S inches Of
bone and muscle and is as quick as
cat in action. He has black curly hair,
what would be limpid brown eyes if it
were possible for the adjective to ex-
list in the same company with pugil-
list, and is gentlemanly and modest in
appearance. He looks so boyish that
one is surprised when he discloses his
age, q years.
He was born of Irish parents in
Cardiff, Wales, a score and seven years
ago and he inherited from those pa
rents a rich Irish brogue that he has
never outgrown.
Driscoll began his fighting career in
his home town in 1899, when he went
into an amateur boxing tournament,
and after cleaning up everything that
they could pit against him he won the
title at 116 pounds. In that tourney he
knocked four men cold. Six months
later saw him in another amateur
tournament This time he was fighting
in the 1872 pound class, and although
he was compelled to give away at least
twelve pounds he again beat his four
men by knocking them out, and won
the title.
Afer this he turned professional and
entered the professional tournament at
1872 pounds. This time he was COM
PEELED to lay low six men before he
was finally returned the winner. Of
course from then on nothing could
keep him out of the fighting game,
and he began fighting for a living.
In 1906 he defeated Joe BoWker for
the title of English champion feather
weight. Driscoll completely outpointed
his opponent in Is rounds.
After defeating such men as Johnny
Summer, Charles Griffin and all the
rest of England's best lightweight men
and soaring Owen Moran out of a
match with him Driscoll decided to
come to America and try his fortune
over here.

Eugene Lorton and Oscar Cain, two
Iof the men directly responsible for
the fight against, Senator Ankeny in
this county, were seen to be lacking
in enthusiasm during the opening re-
marks by Mr.. Piles, though they. be-
ing in the limelight on the stage, saw
fit to wave their "mits' as though ap-
plauding uproariously at every men
ton of Mr.. Ankeny's name. It was no.
ticed, too, that both excused them
selves from the stage before the
speaker had more than fairly started
upon his discourse
The guarantee of bank deposits. the
labor question which has been
launched against Mr.. Taft in the
wrong use of the Injunction, the tariff
and other issues of the campaign We're
touched upon by the speaker in a
most comprehensive manner, and
while he did not particularly oppose
the guarantee of bank deposits, he said
that the postal savings banks, advocat-
ed by the republican party, would
prove a much more satisfactory sys-
tenn than the plan advocated by the
democrats. He said that the republican
party mad never yet refused to do what
was best for the people, and remarked
that, If it were found best for the conn
Try the republican party might be
depended upon to enact the guarantee
of bank deposits law.
Ihere was little or nothing in the
ADDRESS to which the opposition could
take exception, the line of abuse and

Max Figman.

Reulah Dix and Evelyn Sutherland,
who wrote Max Figman's latest come
dy success 1.-The Substitute have de-
monstrated that they have original
ideas as to dramatic conception, con-
struction, and development They
showed this in their first New York
success. THE Road to Yesterday" but
they have proven it to a greater de-
gree in their last effort 1.-THE Substi-
tute.' They have their own ideas on
lots of matters and they express them
in very unique manner. In "The Sub
stitute," they advance some very in
teresting theories on the subject of di-
vorce. In as much as this topic is
worrying the clergy a great deal at
present, their theory and disposition of
the subject is occasioning a great deal
OF interest and talk. This, however, is
only incidental to the story. which is
full Of laughter and amusing situation.
The play will be presented here with
an exceptionally strong cast and a
magnificent scenic environment. The

Old Age Pensions
FOR Canadian

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 30.-An old age
annuities plan will be put into effect
by the Canadian government next
month and it's operation will doubtless
be watched with interest by the people
of the United States. Already many
statesman and economists across the
border have written the Dominion ofh-
Gals for particulars Of the scheme.
with the view of urging a similar
measure before the Washington law
makers. Hundreds of Americans, resid-
ing in nearly every state of the union,
have made applications for annulties
guaranteed by the Canadian govern
ment, and it is likely that when the
merits of the plan become fully known,
the annuities branch will transact
large business in the states and In
Europe Advertising literature has
been prepared and will be spread
broadcast throughout Canada and the
United States, and the annuities
branch will go after business with all
the vigor of a private corporation op-
Grating for profit.
Pamphlets descriptive of the annui-
ties plan have been furnished to every
postmaster in Canada, and in every
postofffce. there will be a notice posted
inviting applications for annuity liter
allure. Then, in addition, lecturers are
to be sent all over Canada to hold
public meetings and address audiences
explaining the annuities plan in detail.
A half dozen forms of policy have
been designated by Director Bastedo
to meet demands and suit financial
condition of all classes of people. For
all there are the general limitations
that must be for not less than fifty
nor more than six hundred dollars a
year, and annuities cannot mature be-
fore the age of ffty-fve. However. a
man or woman can buy an annuity
with single payment or can make
payments of % cents a week to the
postoffice savings bank or to the
money order department Of any post
office savings bank or to the money
order department of any postoffice in
Canada. An annuity may be bought for
a child, for wife or for any one else.
Persons of thirty or forty can make
lump payments to cover ARREARS and
tIleu continue paying dt Inc Sduic
weekly, monthly, quarterly, half
yearly or yearly rate as though he or
she had begun at the age Of twenty On
all payments the government will al
low compound interest at the rate of
four per cent. which is one per cent
higher than the savings bank rate and
good deal more than is allowed by
regular annuity companies.
The man who buys an annuity has
the guarantee of the government Of
Canada that when he reaches the age
of fifty-five, sixty OF. sixty-five as he
elects he will get his annuity until
the day of his death and if he dies be-
fore reaching the annuity age all the
money that he has paid in will be re-
turned with three per cent compound
interest to his heirs.
Sir Richard Cartwright is the father
Of the act and it's administration is
being well looked after by S. T. Basic
do, who has had considerable expert
ence in annuity business.
