he entered in 1854 at the age of thir-
teen. He took office as senior naval
sea lord i'm 1904. Strange to say, a
year or two before he was elevated TO
the highest post in the navy the Eng
lish people hardly knew there was
such man. He had arrived long be-
fore. but IL was when he made his
famous speech at the academy ba l.
quet in the spring of 1903 that he may
be said to have first forcibly struck
the public in eye and ear. His incisive
directness, tis somewhat boisterous
humor and, above ALL his absolutely
assured confidence OF strength made
an impression which set people to in
quire.
Many Enemies and Friends.
No man in the naval or military
service OF Great Britain probably has
aroused such fierce dislikes and such
enthusiastic friendships as Sir John
Fisher. In the four and half years
cal head Of the greatest navy in the
world he has done things which
have been bitterly criticised and
enthusiastically defended. 1t is
perhaps natural that he should
arouse strong feelings. for his
blood is not altogether the product of
the cool climate of Grc>t Britain.

OUR CORNER
THE GAME OF HOCKEY.

"HE game of ice hockey, like
many another familiar game,
can be traced back to the old
Romans and Greeks. In those days,
however, the game was played with .
bent or crooked stick and balls filled
with feathers. From this game, in it's
crude original form, the. modern ice
hockey has been developed through the
Scotch "shinty,'' the Irish hurley
and the English Shiny or hockey
All of these earlier games We're played
on the ground and 1t is readily seen
that the change from a frozen field to
a sheet of Ice was a natural and easy
step. Even when shiny became an ex-
clusively Ice game It had little re-
semblance to hockey as we know it to-
day. In the original game the mum
Der of players was practically unlim-
tied, while the rules consisted mainly
of skinny on your own side" 1t was
a simple, good-natured, healthy and
boisterous game and our ~forefathers
doubtless derived as much sport and
benefit from their old SKINNY with its
bent sticks, lump of ice OF bit of stone
or wood, and their queer rocker skates,
as do modern boys with their beauti-
fully finished clubs, rubber "pucks' and
polished and nickeled skates. In the
old game the crowd of boys knocked a
bit of ice or other solid object over the
Ice, each striving with might and main
to keep 1t to himself and prevent the
othef boys from obtaining possession
of 1t.
Until 1880 the game was played in
this way and was considered only 4
boys game and IN each and every
lake, pond or river where skating was
possible a crowd of boys could always
be seen ~scrambling or rushing about
whacking at extemporized "pucks' and
filing the clear wIntry air with loud
cries and shouts.
In the year 1880 the modernized ant
perfected game of ice hockey was in.

TRENTON MAN, ENVOY
AT TANGIER, QUITS.
Samuel R. Gummere Resigns
Diplomatic Post.

Samuel r. Gummere. who has re-
signed as United States envoy and
minister plenipotentiary to Morocco,
is a native of Trenton, and is a
brother of Chief Justice William s..
Gummere, of this city. He is well
known in Newark,
Mr.. Gummere has been in the diplo-
matte service for twenty years, all that
time as consul and consul-general at
Tangier and minister to Morocco. 1t
was he who procured the release OF
Ion P~erdicaris, when captured BY the
brigand Raisuli. Perdicaris was a mill
ionaire Greek, formerly of Trenton, and
Mr. Gummere met him there.
He Has a magnificent estate outside
Tangier, and frequently entertained
Mr. Gummere there. They became such
fast friends that the latter accepted a
diplomatic post at Tangier, and when
Perdicaris was kidnapped by Raisuli
Mr.. Gummere conducted the negotia-
tons.
Tfe did this with such skill that he
was made minister to Morocco. A few
years G he was United States repre-
sentative at the international congress
at Algeciras, Spain, when France and
Germany nearly came to war over the
question Of French rights in Morocco.
