The Senate's Hole In the Wall.


When the nineteenth century was as
yet only half grown, senators applied
customarily for their toddies at the so
called Hole in the Wall, small circu'
lar room just off the postoflce Of the
upper house. The latter body then
occupied what is now the chamber of
the supreme court, and the postoffice
was across the naiG corridor Of the
building on the same floor. When a
wearer of the toga found himself in
need of a ''snifter" he had only to
cross over to the mails department
and pass through it to the little cir
cular room aforesaid, which was about
the size Of a pantry. The Hole in the
Wall was the first senate restaurant,
and the bill of fare for edibles was
short, though to the point. There was
ham, guaranteed to have been smoked
for six months, a veritable sublimatfon
of the pork product; there were corned
beef and bread and cheese, but very
little else. They served, however, as
an accompaniment for the fluids, aid
when the Hole was crowded, as was
often the case, senators ate their sand
wiches outside, in the postoftice. -

Tho Aurora Borealis.
The aurora borealis, or northern
light, is something that we have all
heard about, but very few, perhaps,
can give any explanation of it. No
one definitely knows what causes it,
but the scientists are pretty well
agreed that 1t is due to electricity.
They believe that the light is made by
the decomposition Of the positive and
negative electricity always in the up
per and lower strata of air, respec.
lively. M. Lenstrom made an inter.
esting experiment in Finland in 1882
his object being to determine the ma
ture of the aurora. He had the peak
Of a mountain surrounded by cop
per wire, pointed at intervals with
tin nibs. When he had charged the
wire with electricity a yellow light
appeared on the tin tips, and an ex'
animation of the light by the spec
troscope revealed the greenish yellow
ray that is a marked feature Of the
aurora. This evidence among sci
entists is almost convincing, for II
is by means Of the spectroscope that
we discover the constituent parts OF
the sun and the stars.-Exchange

Death and Snuff.

A certain Margaret Wilson Of West
minister, who was an inveterate snuff
taker, enjoined that a quantity of
Scotch snuff should be placed in her
coffin. She also ordered that the ar.
rangements connected with her funer
al should be as follows: "S1x men to
be my bearers who are known to be
the greatest snuff takers In the parish
Of st. James, Westminster. Instead Of
mourning, each to wear snuff colored

be thrown on the threshold Of de-
ceased's dwelling before the cortege
passed out, snuff was to be strewn on
the ground at every twenty yards in
advance Of the coffin, and the ofhciat-
ing clergyman's fee was to be proper

consumed during the ceremony.-Lon-

SHORT MEETING.
American Leaguers to Be in Session
Only a Couple of DAYS.

NEW YORK. December S.-President
Ban Johnson says the meeting of the
American League here next week will be
a swift affair. The magnates will be in
line Monday, while the national commits
sion meets, and will begin transacting
business Tuesday. According to present
plans the delegates will hustle out OF
town Wednesday afternoon. The Alneri-
can League men are in perfect harmony,
as usual. The National League magnateS
will begin arriving today, with Hermann
OF Cincinnati the advance guard. They
are going to do some lobbying on the
ard-Heydler controversy, SO that the
atmosphere may be cleared when they
convene early next week. If Heydler is
elected 1t will mean that Ban Johnson is
dictator. If Ward is chosen it is even
betting there will be a rumpus that will
tear the big leagues apart. The Brush
Murphy Ebbets-Fogel combine, which is
for Ward, is already asking the Heydler
forces if they are going to stand for the
American Leagues dictation.

GEORGETOWN TO ROW
At POUGHKEEPS|E
Crew Management Announces
That Varsity Will Be En-
tered in Big Event.

According to the notice posted by Man
ager Byrnes OF the Blue and Gray crew
III calling for candidates. Georgetown will
have an entry in the intercollegiate re-
gatta at Poushkeepsie this June. The an
nouncem"nt comes as complete sur
prise {" most of the students at the Hill
top school. but as the notice seemed 10
have the sanction of the executive coun-
ell of the Athletic Association there is
every reason to believe that steps have
been taken to again gain entrance in the
rowing classic of American colleges.
The other races that are contemplate ed
are a varsity and second crew event at
Annapolis against the Navy crews Il
struggle with either Princeton or Penn
sylvania on the Potomac, and an entry
in the varsity event at the American
Henley the latter part of May. The class

which the cut will be made in the can

umns Sunday morning. Pat Dempsey has
been signed as coach The contract was
made with the veteran teacher of sweep
handling by Manager Byrnes Sunday aft
ernoon and was later approved by the
Georgetown athletic director and execu-
tive council

ing We'll pleased with the selection made,

among whom many are known to have
had much experience. 1t became known
yesterday that Capt Richardson of the
PotomacS would be among the candida ties.
AS the leader of the Red and White is
one of the best men in the south. he
should prove q valuable asset to George
town. especially this year.
A rumor is now in circulation that a
director of aquatics is to he appointed
from among the alumni Of the university
at near date. 1t will be recalled that
there was such an officer in charge OF
the university boat club for a number of
years, during which time very little
trouble was encountered, as far as
the office be again created it may prove
big boon to the present rowing depart
ment of the school.
Despite many rumors to the contrary,
Dempsey will not give up his position as
coach of the POtomacs. AS the greatest
part of his work with the club boys
takes place in the summer, after the
university has closed, it will in no way
interfere with his labors at Georgetown.
while what time he gives to the Potoma cs
before the closing of the varsity season
will be more than made up for by the

hardly bring about were it not for the

CAMP FOR FOOT BALL CHANGES.
Yales Advisory Coach Believes in
Minimizing Chances of Accident.

NEW HAVEN, December S.-Walter
Camp, Yales advisory foot ball coach
made the following statement to the Yale
Daily News yesterday about changes in
the foot ball rules:
Il am positive that there should be
alterations in the rules looking toward
very distinct minimizing of the chances
OF serious accident. l do not know
that | am sufficiently prepared to say
just what those changes will be, but
am collecting such facts / can that
would lead to the knowledge OF how to
effect the best results.
DIR. Carl Williams, who umpired the
PrincetonYae game, has given to the
same paper this statement: Il think that
the value of the field goal. three points
has been most satisfactory, and l have
no doubt that this value will be re-
tained.'
What Mr. Camp said is regarded as
about what Yale's attitude will be when

CAMPAIGN WAKES WARM.
Georgetown Managership Cause Of
College Politics on Heights.

AS Is usually the case, the race for the
assistant managcrship of foot ball at
Georgetown is an extremely warm one
and the cause OF much excitement at
present among the West End students.
The voting for the office will take place
in CASTOR Hall at / O'Clock Sunday, and
from all accounts IT will come near to
the record mark which was set last
year, wheh 1911 and 1912 had their big
struggle for honors
The sophomores of this year have select
ed for their candidate Frank Burke of
Norwich, Conn, while the freshmen have
placed their hopes in j. Ennis McQuail
of Pottsviile, Pa The first mentioned
Of these has spent but one year previous
to this at Georgetown, he having entered
the class of 1872 year ago September.
Since entering he has not made any
record as an athlete. but has shown great
proficiency in scholarship and business
ability. AS his popularity among the
students is also great. he should be able
to handle the duties of the Office to which
he seeks election in manner acceptable
to all.
The same, however. may also he said
OF McQuail The Pennsylvania entered
the college this year after spending three
years in the prep school. during which
time he made an extensive record for
himself as an athlete. He played on
three Of the embryo foot ball teams. anu
captained the last one of which he was
a member He also rowed on the prep
crew i'm MAY of 1905 when 1t carried on
the honors in the scholastic race at the
American Henley. This fall he was a
candidate for the varsity eleven, and had
big chances for making position until
compelled to retire from the gridiron by
his parents.
Besides the election of an assistant
manager of foot ball, 1t is also likely
that the meeting Sunday will be pro-
ductiye of some action in relation to the
sport by the athletic association as a
whole. Whether this will take the form
OF a protest To the faculty is not known.
but it may be taken as granted that
something will be done in the way of at
tempting to have the game reinStated as
a jor activity at the school.
The reports of the treasurer and foot
ball manager for the past season and
deliberations on base ball, crew and track
will complete the roster of business for
the meeting.
