MONEY FOR PERILOUs TASK
Chance to Earn Good Money at Heavy
Risk to Life.

hlBk 10 Ltfes
CLEVELAND. o., Jan. 1. Whoever
wants to take a chance can earn 81, 500 by
going through the Whirlpool Rapids below
Niagara Falls to Lewiston is a power boat.
John A.. Penton OF this city has hung up a
gold trophy valued at $500 for the man who
can make the trip successfully. and Power
Boating has added a purse Of $1,000 in gold.
These prizes will be placed in the hands
Of a composed of men promi-
nent in the power boat trade and arrange
ments will be made to pull off a contest Of
this kind during the coming summer.
The Maid Of the Mist In 1851 went
through the whirlpool Rapids and emerged
from the turbulent waters at Lewiston, the
only damage resulting being the loss of its
smokestack. Mr., Preston, who Is chair
man OF the executive committee Of the
National Power Boat association, which
comprises three-fourths OF the power boat
clubs In the United States, believes that
sufficient progress has been made in the
construction Of power boats to max a
trip of this kind not only possible, but
probable. Should a number OF entries be
received for this novel contest, the $1,000
and the gold trophy would be presented TO
the owner whose boat made the trip in the
fastest time and in the best condition.
An order for the $500 gold cup has al
ready been places with a 'arge eastern
jewelry manufacturing company and will
become the property Of the successful
contestant. MT. Penton, doner OF this
trophy. says:
81 have offered these prizes 70 give
the makers Of power boats a chance 10
demonstrate the marvellous progress which
has been made along these lines In recent
years. Automobile users have a Glidden
tour annually, vari0ds hill climbs and
speed tests, and why not have a severt
test Of this kind TOR power boats2"

BOXING AS A COLLEGE SPORT
Effort Made to Put ID on List of Col
leRiate Matches.

NEW YORK, Jan. L-Prof Joe Murray,
instructor Of boxing at Columbi univer-
sity, is making a big effort to stretch the
spirits OF rivalry in the college world so
that the manly art OF self defense will
be included on the list OF athletic con-
tests along with boot ball, base ball,
rowing. fencing and wrestling.
Murray's first step in this direction is
the holding OF annual tournaments among
the Columbia pupils. The first one held
last spring was so successful that arrange
ments for another are now under way.
Murray's idea is 10 get up a big inter-
collegiate tournament, with entries from
Yale, Harvard. Princeton, Pennsylvania,
Cornell and Columbia. The boxing game
10 already flourishing at Cornell, he says,
where Larry Connolly, the Boston boxer,
Is the instructor. Glasses could be gath
cred at the other universities. and a COM
petent Instructor could pick out the best
men after a series OF tryouts. A scale
OF weights could then be agreed on and
the pupils classified accordingly at an
agreeable time TO all concerned. Dates
could be fixed tor a tournament and the
events conducted on much the same way
as are the annual Amateur Athletic Union
boxing championships.

FRICTION IN RACING CIRCLES
BrIshtYn Association Is Cause OF All
the Trouble.

NEW YORK, Jan. I.-The fact that the
Brighton Beach Racing association has
planned a list OF stake events and will ask
for a license and dates for a meeting next
summer has stirred the inner circles OF
the Jockey club with the result that there
may be some friction. II appears that last
summer the Brighton management asked
the Jockey club for dates for a fan meet
ing and received "A rundown. Then a
Jockey club member introduced a resoIu-
tiOn removing Brighton from the list OF
Recognized meetings" which was adopted.
Prior to that action Brighton, together
with sheepshead Bay, Gravesend and Bel
mont Park, helped 10 form a sort OF
charmed circle which enjoyed special.

say in the allotment OF dates. But when
Brighton, because OF business entangle-
ments, did not race last summer Il was
decided 70 cut off the privileges OF the

CLASH IN CLOAKR0OM.
Senators Curtis and Gore Engage in
Heated Dispute.

The story of a stormy clash between
Senator Gore of Oklahoma and Senator
Curtis of Kansas in the democratic
cloakrooms of the Senate a few days ago
just leaked out.
Senator Curtis. it appears from the
details that have become known, up
braided the blind senator for Directing
to a bill to pay James West 5000 to
recompense him for some loss he had
sustained on account of the Cherokee
Indians. the Kansas member having re-
ported the bill. Then Senator Curtis told
Mr.. Gore, it is asserted. that the latter
would never get unanimous consent for
the consideration of a bill. Mr. Cores
ire was aroused by that statement, the
story runs, and he used some language
to Mr.. Curtis that would, had it been
used on the floor of the Senate, have
put that body in an uproar, it is said.
Senator Gore has not confirmed the
story. as he has gone to deliver a Chau-
tauqua lecture in Iowa; but his colleague,
Senator Owen, has admitted that there
was a dispute between Mr.. Gore and Mr.
Curtis.

NO CHANGE IN PRACTICE.
Rumors Concerning Agricultural
Bureaus Denied by Officials.

There will be no change in the practices
Of the bureau Of chemistry. the bureau
Of animal industry. the forestry service
or other bureaus of the Department Of
Agriculture as the result of a recent pro-
vision incorporated In the appropriation
law for the department.. which directs
that hereafter its legal work is to be per-
formed by the solicitor.
One of the officials of the department
today, referring to a recently printed
statement that there would be. said the
new provision had about the same effect
as an order of a steamship company d.
recting that stokers should coal the fur
naces.
LAS a matter of fact he said, 1.-The
office of solicitor has existed in the de-
partment but for few years, and the
clause in the appropriation bill simply
gives him more of an Official status. The
solicitor Is now a member of the pure
food board. with DR.. Wiley. DR.. Dunlap
and the Secretary. Cases are approved
for prosecution by the Secretary after
they have been legally prepared by the
solicitor. That is about all there is to it,"

INVENTED HOOP SKIRT
JOSEPH THOMAS DYING AT AGE
OF EIGHTY-THREE.
Perfected the Sewing Machine and
Was First Importer of the
Button jersey"

NEW YORK, June 2S-Joseph Thomas,
aged eighty-three, a mechanical genius,
who perfected the sewing machine and
originated many other devices, is dying
at his home, S04 Hudson street, Hobo
ken, of a general breakdown. He has
been bedridden for three months. He at
times calls for his wife, who died last
Wednesday, but which fact he does not
know.
Besides perfecting the sewing machine
Mr.. Thomas invented devices for the
manufacture of sulphur matches. to make
derby hats, to weave braid and to do
quilting. He originated the hoop skirt,
which was popular from 1880 to 1870.
The patents were sold by Thomas, and
he made a comfortable fortune. The
owners of the patents made Snillions.
The larger part of the estate which
Thomas will leave was built up by him
when he was engaged in the manufacture
and sale of women's clothing.
Imported the Button Jersey"
Women's jerseys, which buttoned down
the front, were first imported by him,
and he made much money in this way.
Prior to that the women in this country
wore similar garments, which were put
on over the head.
When Thomas invented the sulphur
match machine he was poor and sold it
for $500. An offer of two lots on 9Th
avenue was made to him, but he declined
it. The lots now are worth about ST.
OOO, 900.
Thomas made $4,000 from the hoop
skirt idea, but his work on the sewing
machine did not bring him very much,
as he was employed for that purpose at
a weekly salary by machine company.
Leopold Thomas, a brother, who died
several years ago, perfected a contri-
vance for making railroad spikes and a
cold steel shafting apparatus. His ex-
periments were made in Andrew Car
negie's shop in Pittsburg.
