TO CHANGE NAME.
Intercollegiate to Be Known as Ma
tional Body Hereafter.

NEW YORK, November 2.-The an
nual meeting of the Intercollegiate Ath-
letic Association Of the United States.
which will be held December % Of this
year, may be the last in which the asso-
citation Is known under that designation.
The announcement Of the meeting con-
tains the ftatement that the proposition
is seriously considered to change the
name to the National Collegiate Ath-
ietic Association The reason for the
proposed alteration is that the member
ship Of seventy-one institutions last year
represented more than 100000 students
and an increased enrolment for this year
will be reported. The association be-
lieves that it Is national, indeed, in scope.
Furthermore, although this may be a
thing aside, the present name had a
very close resemblance to that of the
I. c. A. A. A. A., which controls track
athletic sports alone.

against George Goulding. the Canadian.
and holder of the worlds records for one
mile and seven miles. In a match a
couple Of months ago at one and three
miles Goulding won both contests. but
there are those who claim that the seven
miles is Webb's best distance. and they
look for victory for the English cham
pion. Last spring Webb won the Eng

BILLY PAPKE WON'T
FIGHT SAM LANCFORD
Draws Color Line, But Claims
"Tar Baby" Can't Make
MiddIeWeight Class.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
SYDNEY. N. S. W., October %. 1910.
Sam Langford can claim all the titles
he wants to, but it is another question
about being recognized, as champion %
said Billy Papke, the middleweight
champion, when he heard today that
Langford had claimed the title and post
ed forfeit of e1,OOO for match with
him.
'Langford never was middleweight
champion said Billy, land never will
be if I can prevent it, for he never will
get match with me. Not that 1 fear
him. but because will not fight col
ored man and never did. AT that Lang
ford cannot make 15S pounds ringside.
but if he could it would not matter, as
will fight no colored men.
THE only time Langford ever met a
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. being recognized as
good boxer-was when he fought
Ketchel at Philadelphia, and then he
weighed fully twenty pounds more than
poor Stanley. He Is good big heavy
weight, with not the height Of Jack
Johnson, and that is where he belongs.
He has had forfeits up to meet john
son, so let him go through with matches
of his own class and not interfere where
he does not belong. I have nothing
against the man, but there is nothing do
ing for the Boston tar baby as far as I
am concerned. Let the colored men hight
between themselves and white men the
same. And, after all, it would be
pretty safe wager that Langford cannot
make the middleweight limit-15S
ringside.
"Ketchel was champion and recognized
as such the world over. l knocked him
out once and he did the same to me.
Then we fought a fierce twenty-round
battle. which Ketchel won by decision,
been a draw Langford was twenty
pounds heavier than Ketchel when they
met and got nothing short of draw,
SO I cannot see where his claim would
come in, even If he could be classed as
q middleweight. The title Is mine. ana
I will defendsit against all white chal-
lengers. whom the press recognize as le-
climate opponents"

Use The Water.

Last summer Louisa was probably
the dryest town in Kentucky-not
the "dryest," perhaps, but dry in
the sense of being scant OF moisture.
1t is said that the town pays out
annually seven hundred and fifty
dollars as rental for twenty-five
sprinkling hydrants, conspicuous by
their nonuse. The result OF this
neglect is inches deep Of dust on
the streets and clouds OF germ
laden dust in the air and going into
the lungs of our people.
One of the best possible invest
ments which any man who has ac-
cess to one of these sprinkling
plugs is the purchase Of fifty OF
more feet Of good hose, and then
get up energy enough to use it.
Dust is a nuisance and a menace
to health. 1t is ruinous to clothing
carpets, curtains, dry goods, in fact
to almost everything it touches. Il
is also a nuisance which can be Sc
easily abated in Louisa that a fail
ure to get rid of it seems almos
criminal. Let US see IL we can
have less dust and purer atmos
phere in this city this summer.

Frank Kazse Jailed.

Frank Kazee, a local young fell
low, who was arrested at Logan, w.
Va. several days ago and brought
back on a serious charge, was
arraigned Tuesday before County
Judge Wurts and bound over to the
grand jury in the sum of 500.
Being unable to give bond, he was
again placed behind the bars Of the
county Jail.
IL will be remembered that ex-
County Attorney w. NJ. Savage, of
Lawrence county, made complaint
to the local police that on Tuesday,
March list, he was on a street car
here and struck up an acquaintance
with Kazee; that the latter induced
him to get off at Clyffeside Park,
under pretense of taking Savage to
the home of relative; and that in
the park Kazee held him up and
robbed him OF $50.
Kazee at once disappeared, but
the officers succeeded few days
ago in locating him at Logan, and
he was brought back to face this
grave charge-Ashland independent.

partment of Education, Prof Crabbe
sent the questions to publishing
house a thousand miles from Frank
fort, and the matter went to the

from whence the job came, The
printers who worked on the job did
not know from what State the
papers came to them or what the

locked in his safe. When the time

Prof. Crabbe will mail them, with

DINNER TO MINISTERS.
Nh. and Mrs. H. c. Sullivan Entertain
the Preachers.

The close of last week was de-
lightfully marked by an elegant din
ner given by Mr.. and Mrs. ii. c.
Sullivan at their beautiful Main
street residence. The intention Of
the hosts was to pay tribute to the
ministers who wrought so ably aud
faithfully during the ten days OF
what viii long be called the Hol-
comb meeting" and II is reasonable
to doubt II more acceptable rec
ognition OF their labors could have
been offered. The gentlemen OF
the cloth" are quite appreciatiye
OF the proper good things OF this
life, and the NEWS declares that
no class OF men, In all the vocations
of life, are more deserving OF all the
good they get out of this sublunary
existence.
Not all the ministers who were
active at the eyangelistic meetings
were able to be present at the feast
spread for their brethren, and to
the absent ones is hereby rendered
coincidence for the loss of that
which, illogically enough, they did
not possess.
Originally intended for preachers
only, the occasion was marked by
the presence of gentlemen of quite
different callings. There was enough
prepared almost for regiment
and the table was built along the
same lines OF bigness as are the
hearts of the hosts, so the places In
tended for the absent ones were
filled by others, who were only toe
glad to profit through the misfor-
tune Of their fellows.
Shortly before dinner was an.
nounced Mr.. Sullivan asked Prof
Kennison to lead in the concerted
recitation of the Twenty-third
psalm. After the recital each one
was asked to say what verse OF
scripture was his preference, and
why.
At the table the Rev. DR.. Han
ford, Of the M. e. Church. invoked
the Divine blessing. The dinner was
truly a feast. Nothing was lacking
OF the many things which make one
OF the dinners for which Louisa is
proyerbial. The menu offered that
happy combination Of dellcacies and
substantials which when partaken
Of is apt to make a preacher forget
that he is expected By some to live

and encouragement. 1t made a
touching and impressive scene.
About two O'Clock in the afternoon
the various congregations Of the
city, with many others, assembled
at the river near the foot Of the
grade. Every denomination in
Louisa was represented in this gath
ering, but stranger present would
have failed to recognize any differ
ence in belief or practice.
After short service the Rev. Mr..
Hardin, pastor Of the Baptist
Church, immersed nine candidates.
Immediately following this the Rev.
w. L. Reid, of the M. C.. Church
South, immersed one person.
1t was an impressive sight. Larg-
er numbers have been baptized at
that place, but it is safe to say that
never before in the history Of the
town has such a fIaternal scene
been witnessed. The spiritual and
moral uplift felt and seen in. this
city since the recent revival is. great.
and its influence for good will be
lasting. Some who have put their
hand to the plow may look back.
We are but mortal, and mortals are
frail. Even Peter denied his Lord.
and one could not resist the jingle
of silver, but of the great number
who claimed to have been born to
a new and better life during the
Holcomb meeting, many, many will
walk in the light OF that life until
the Master receives them on the
other side.
