London, May 2A-Sam Langford knocked
out Ian Hague in the fourth round Of the
fight at the National Sporting Club to-
night There never was such a crowd as
sembled in the rooms Of the National
Sporting Club to see a fight. A large

interest in the fight was intensified by
its bearing on the future big event in the
United States.

Objects TO BandageS.
Before the gong started Langford OBJ
jected 70 the hand bandages which Hague
was wearing. but after a discussion with
Referee Corey, the American scrapper
waived his objections and the fight began.
Hague had evidently been instructed Il
play for the Americans body. but. al
though he delivered some tremendous
blows, they were either wasted or blocked
on oy the negro, whose skill amounted 20
more than the EngliShman's strength.
Hague proved 10 be slow throughout

how 10 take advantage Of his superior
reach. AID all the time Langford iabbed

chance when Langford in swinging with
the left left himself unguarded-

TELLS OF LIBBY PRISON DAYS
Maj. L. p. Williams Lectures at
Friends Meeting House.


Mai. L P Williams. who spent nearly
ten eventful months IN Libby Prison. de-
livered an address last evening at the
Friends Meeting House on his expeTien-
ces during his Incarceration and his
method OF escaping from the famous
Confederate stronghold.
A chart showing a sectional view Of the
prison. which. before the war had been
used as a warehouse by Libby & Sons.
was used by the speaker in Illustrating
his lecture.
Mai Williams related hardships en-
dured by the company OF officers who
were In prison with him.
The prisoner related how a stove was
removed from out Of the fireplace and
a cut through the wall By which the
company reached the cellar and then
made their way through the outer wall Of
the building Digging a tunnel under the
prison yard, exit was made on the out
side Of the fence surrounding the prison.
This brought the escaping prisoners under
a shed which stood a short distance from
a two-story building where they found
temporary safety.
or the IO9 prisoners who escaped, fifty
five reached the Union lines, and OF this
number six are now living. OF the fve
mea who made their escape in the COM
pany OF Maj Williams. only one is now
liv'~g.
During the evening several wartime
songs were rendered by Lincoln Post, g.

Barrie's Real Heroine.

In an interview with Charles Frohnlan
recently cabled from abroad, the sur
prisingly interesting fact appears that
Maggie Wylie. the role now being play
ed by Miss Maude Adams, in Mr.. Barries
What Every Woman Knows" is a dra-
matization Of Barrie's own mother, Mar
garet Ogilvy.
In the play the heroine, Maggie wy
lie, Is asked by one OF her brothers,
Are you taking the book TO bed, Maggie"
after the brothers have agreed TO pro
vide John Shand with money TO pay his
way through college on the condition that
he viii marry their sister at the end OF
five years-if she viii have him then.
"Of course" Maggie replies, IT don't
want him to be knowing things I don't
know myself"
And again when Stands defeated op-
pOnent in the race for Parliament has
taken a shabby revenge by compliment
ing him in French-''a language I never
took the trouble TO master" says Shand.
Would 1t help you to have a wife who
can speak French?' cries Maggie, she
proves that she can speak French and
understand II.
Perhaps the prettiest Of all is Bar
RES description OF his own mother when
shey would discover her. in answer to
his excited letters. flnging the bundle Of
undarned stockings from her lap and
going IN for literature. She would rack
her brains. at her sons request for
memories that he might convert into ar
ticles. then send them to him IN letters
which she dictated through her daugh-
ters.
In the same way Maggie Wylie helps
her husband in What Every Woman
BnOws'-not by request. IL Is true. but
because she sees better than John Shand
where he needs help. Barrie says that

FROM WOMARS
POINT OF VIEW

Mere man knows very little OF the ways
and means OF securing results IN the
matter Of feminine apparel. in fact. he
judges wholly by appearance and Is wrong
usually, in his estimate OF cost. He sat
beside me in the car. the other evening
and eyed with approval trio OF trinity
dressed young women evidently inclined
theaterward. They were quiet enough
till they made ready TO leave. when their
tongues lOosened and they EXCHANGED
jokes in the language common TO the
uneducated.
The man looked the surprise he was too
well-bred TO voice while there was a
chance Of being overheard. It was FIVE
minutes later when he murmured
Such language from girls Of the welI-to-
do class" I looked to see II he was
serious. and finding him wholly so. vouch-
safed the Information that they were
working girls, I knew the faces because
they were to be seen daily behind the
notion counter Of a shop 1 patronized.
He was inclined TO question my lnforma-
toni saw that when he began to enum-
crate the details OF their appearance
but my knowledge Of prevailing prices.
the advantages Of discount which is usu-
ally allowed to employees. and the
touches OF up-to-dste fashion which the
girls were clever enough TO add to their
costumes finally convinced him.
Each girl wore a walking skirt and
coat. with fancy waist There were high
boots. appropriately matched. good gloves.
stylish neckwear-made at home, per-
haps-furs, pretty hats, and becoming
wells. Each head Of hair was beautifully
dressed and all looked sweet and whole
some and we'll groomed The suits were
modest-priced. but well fitted. and the
hats cost quite as little Unquestionably,
the clothes we're we'll cared for as they
looked fresh and smooth. The furs were
Of the inexpensive grades, good-wearing,
warm and becoming. This has been an
exceptional year for buying furs, as all
women know.
The point Of the story Is this-it is pos
sible to make q good appearance with a
small amount OF money II one buys IN
telligentiy. Every woman should consider
her needs and surroundings when repIen-
ishing her wardrobe. II she lives in one
room she should have as few garments
as possible. II closet room is lacking.
she has 20 reduce her wardrobe 10 its
lowest terms. II she has a whole house
at her disposal she Is not wise TO have
superfiuous garments. She is a slave to
her clothes unless she can AFFORD TO hire
somebody TO attend to them. There is
no occasion for party dresses when one
has no social position, no use for house
gowns when waking hours are spent Ia
the business world. Appropriate gar
ments for every day in the year IL what
all women should strive for and those
should be as good as means permit.
