NATIVES SUFFER cRuELTIEs.
Details of Horrible Atrocities in
German Cameroons Reach Berlin.

Special Cablegram TO The Star.
BERLIN, January 23.-Details of hor-
rble atrocities perpetrated by native
troops in the German Cameroons have
reached Berlin. and it transpires that
these crueties, practiced on defenseless
countrymen. provoked the rebellion in
which the German lieutenant. Reuter-, fell
in action.
detachment of native troops received
orders to prevent the natives hunting
elephants around Yaunda They per-
formed the duty allotted to them with
merciless severity. Under the command
Of native corporal they seized the chief
tains who participated in hunts and com
PEELED them to hand over the ivory they
obtained.
One Of these chieftai was punished
with such cruelty that he died from the
effects Of the wounds inflicted on him.
After perpetrating cruel mutilations the
native soldiers rubbed pepper into his
wounds. The chieftain died after hours
of agony.
1t appears that similar atrocities. perpe-
trated by native troops when away from
the supervision of German oficerjs and
non-commissioned officers took place in
other districts. and finally goaded the M
fortunate victims to rebellion.

fiuence has been felt for good among
many thousands of young boys seeking
to emulate the physical acsomplisn-
the athletic world Is just beginning TO
be felt through the successful EFFORTS
of our boys now entering competition
with boys of northern schools.
In 1907 hardly one-half dozen colored
boys in this city had played in the game
OF basket ball and it can be safely said
over 40 per cent Of the colored population
had never seen a game. Through the as
sistance of Messrs. Joiner, Decatur. Mat
tingly and Wilkinson and the coaching OF
Mr.. Henderson, January 1s. 1905, eight
basket ball teams. with roster of a
hundred players, formed a league and
played every Saturday night for four
months at True Reformers' Hall to IAN
audience averaging 300 people night.
This year six teams formed the league.
while over twenty independent teams
have been formed and played un-
der the auspices of the I. S. A. A.. in
preliminary games Saturday nights. Bal
timore High School for the first time as
a basket ball team plays in the league.
and soon we expect to see other colored
teams organized in the Monumental city.
We have several creditable athletic rec

10 seconds. Ed Gray of NJ Street has
run the low hurdles in q seconds. w. F.

MONEY NO OBJECT.
Pin Knights Are to Be Well Enter
tanned While in Pittsburg.

There was so much real enthusia sm
displayed at Cincinnati last year by the
boWlers it was a revelation to old-time
pin knights who had attended tourna-
ments for the past eight years, and
the only reason given for this enthusi-
asm was that the Cincinr Iii Bowling
Association afforded entertainment to the
bowlers that had never before been
dreamed of. Garry Hermann was re-
sponsible for a great deal of this enter
tainment, and it is we'll he opened new
era in the life of bowling tournaments
Why should not the bowerS be enter
tanned? They travel thousands of miles
to attend tournament and it. is one
grand burst Of bowling enthusiasm from
the minute they leave home until they
return, unless their enthusiasm is damp
ened al the convention city. The conven-
ton city only gets the tournament once
In decade and it is up to them to make
good. The bowlers will have nothing to
complain of in the way of eats and en-
tertainment. as Judge Howard says.
While in the smoky village of old Father
Pitts great doings are to be recorded,
and Representative Barchfeld's promises,
made at Cincinnati, will be upheld and
even overstepped. The ladies in particu-
lar are to be the center of the entertain
ment group. and 1t will be a pleasure
to watch them whirl from the ban
quet hall to theater and from Carnegie
Museum TO steel works. 1t is said that 1t
would take a person six months to prop
erly inspect the Carnegie Institute and
the Pittsburg bowlers expect to allow the
visitors about two or three days to
crowd into their brain the mysteries of
what "HOot Mon" Carnegie has donated
Pittsburg. OF course every one will want
to see Andy's diplodoccus, and maybe they
will want to take 1t out for a stroll.
Representative Barchfeld said at Cincy
that If the diplodoccus was in Chicago 1t
could eat it's soup from the top of the
Masonic Temple If seated on it's launches
in State street. Here is hoping it don't
get loose while the. bowlers are in Pitts
burg.

WAGERS AT GOLF.
Betting on Professionals on Scottish
Links-Risks Big and Small.

From the Westminster Gazette.
One hears a good deal about betting In
golf, but l rather think that with the
spreading Of the royal and ancient game
there has really been something of de-
cline in the sporting propensities Of golf
ers, at any rate as to the making of high
wagers. 1t is seldom that big match is
fixed up between two professionals on the
old style of one green backing it's profess
sOnal against the professional of another
In the days when golf was confined to
a comparatively limited area in Scotland
matches were frequent between the pro-
fessionals of ST. Andrews and those OF
Ellie, of Musselburgh and of North Ber-
wick; and even later. when Hoylake and
Westward Ho! became strongholds of the
game in England, the old players of the
were not backward in supporting their
opinion and their local judgment against
the representatives OF other links. / have
pretty vivid recollections, as little boy
at Hoylake, of the tremendous excitement
which the match between MIR. John Ball
and Douglas ROLAND who was then an
amateur, created.
l came across a striking exhibition OF
the old spirit while playing on the Ieven
links recently. My attention was caught
by a rabble of small boys, toddlers OF
about four up to brown-faced lads OF
twelve. My caddie informed me that
there was a professional match on be-
tween two of the caddies-for threepence
side. The two contestants were playing
with grimly set faces. and they had each
a caddie carrying a bag-I doubt not of
borrowed or Communicated clubs.
A story on similar lines l might men
ton in connection with a caddie at Gull
lane, He acting match in which
two friends were playing. AS the players
were going to the last tee the match was
all even. Handing his employer his
driver the caddie besought him to do his
very best at this hole as he had bet on
the match.
The player did his best, but he lost the
hole; and, feeling rather uneasy about his
failure causing any financial trouble to
his too loyal hacker, he turned to his
caddie and said: Now, look here, what
about that bet? Let me square it up tor
you" Ina CINE his surprise when told that
the amount of the bet was halfpenny.

Laughing on their way to school.
And think OF fifty years ago.
When the birch and rod and rule
Were given to US freely
BY old masters in their pride,
I'm glad these things are banished
With the teachers who have died.
When l behold the progress
OF our mothers. sisters. wives
thank the great Creator
For the pleasure in their lives.
And still ] hope that some day
Without any grating note
These Jewels Of our household
May cast their honest vote.
When l behold fair Science
With her fast electric car,
And rushing ever onward
To that glorious polar star,
Where bigotry Is absent
And dark malice has no room.
! bless our Lord Jehovah
For His pure eternal bloom.
