AN INSPIRING TRIBUTE.
Touching Scene That Occurred In Tho
House Of Representatives.


From a volume by Hon. A. e. Ste
venson. Something Of Men Have
Known" is taken this account of an
incident which deserves place In
memory:
A touching scene occurred in the
house of representatives a number of
years ago when an aged member from
New Jersey arose and for the first
time addressed the speaker. All eyes
were turned in his direction as he
stood calmly awaiting recognition. He
was tall. spare and erect. His ven
cradle appearance and kindly express
sion, coupled with most courteous
manners, at once commanded atten-
ton. AS in husky tones he again said
"Mr. Speakerw there came from the
farthest end of the great hall in a
whisper. but distinctly heard by all,
the words. Sweet Alice, Ben Bolt"
A moment later and from the floor and
gallery many voices blended in the
familiar refrain. Don't you remem-
Der sweet Alice, Ben Bolt?"
The ovation which Immediately fol-
lowed was such as is rarely witnessed
in the great hall. Business was sus-
pended for the moment and the hand
of the new member warmly grasped
by the chosen representatives of all
parties and sections. 1t was an in
spring tribute. one worthily bestowed.
The member was Thomas Dunn Eng
lish. author of the little poem. sung in
palace and cottage. which has found
its way into all languages and touched
all hearts

Team Standing.
Marion, 80; Bucyrus, is.

Those who were brave enough to
venture forth last night i'm the blind
ling snowstorm saw one of the clev-
crest exhibitions of the season put up
by the Marion Y NJ. C.. A. basket
ball team. Though the Bucyrus OPP
ponents of the local lads were entire
ty outclassed the game was worth
while in its every minute because OF
the almost faultless work by the Ma
rion Eve.
In past games it has been the Ma
rion custom to travel at top speed
during the early part of the game and
then to fail miserably in the last part
There was none of this last evening.
1t was up and doing from start to
finish and Bucyrus never had look
in. The score tells of the accurate
Workmanship of Marion, but 1t cam
not tell. even in it's one-sidedness, Of
the lightning work that accomplished
much of that scoring.
Soon after the play started, IL be-
came apparent that Marion's repre-
Hentatives had their lamps well
trimmed. The old pill went into the
basket with a regularity that soon
made II only a question of how large
a score the locals would roll up on
the visitors. The basketball followed
the volley ball in which Marion met
defeat, hence the supreme JOY in the
overwhelming slaughter. Missing
shots where they had half a chance
to cage the ball was not a Marion
habit last evening and few good ones
we're wasted.
The lineup of the team was chang
cd slightly for the game and 1t is the
concensus of opinion that the strong
est combination is the one used last
night. Click. who came to Marion
from the Spaldings of Columbus, was
token from the forward position and
placed at guard He was one of the
leading point-getters and despite this
held his man safe at all times, and
played him to standstill. Clicks
work helps the locals not a little. He
is at all times steadying hand and
when the old lack of ginger in the
after. part Of the game makes its APP
pearance IL is Click who instills the
pop" and gets the boys going again.
Foster played pretty game on the
floor and his passing was one of the
features. Rice and Gloomy Hume
were performing glory stunts during
on the defense, did not few things
toward successful offensive play.
The outcome of the game was a
delightful surprise after seeing the
Bucyrus crowd take the floor. Every
one of the locals was outweighed and
not by few pounds either. The WIS.,
itors appeared to be a fast and not
unskilled crowd either, but their
work appeared very crude, dazzled
as they must have been by the light
ming attack of the Marion crowd.
Coneklin, the visiting center,
proved to be the star of his team,
throwing nve of the nine baskets his
team secured. Hezzy Bell. Bucyrus
boy, who played last season In the
South Michigan league and Is to have
a trial with Detroit this spring
played a good game at left guard for
the callers.
BY winning last night Marion
keeps on the heels of Mansfield
which also secured victory over
Ashland. in the Ohio State Basket
ball league.

A COSTLY ACCIDENT.
The Wave Of Hand, an Upset Ink
Bottle and Bankruptcy.

The Wave Of a Hand, an Upset Ink
Bottle and Bankruptcy.
The mere motion of hand ruined
Ocbbett & Co., one of the largest and
wealthiest of English engineering
firms. They and an American firm
rendered bids for the building Of the
great Kaura bridge for the Russian
government. Jacob Cobbett. who was
the brain and center of the business,
spent six months in the designing and
contracting and had all his plans ready.
His bid was accepted, and material
was bought in enormous quantities. A
time limit had been set both for the
and finish. and Cob
bett was perfectlng his plans and max
ing sure of the smallest details. with
all the formula spread out on the ta-
BILE before him. when he stretched out
his hand. overturned an ink pot and
drowned the most important of the
papers In black sea.
Cobbett had poor memory. In a
fever of anxiety he tried to reconstruct
his plans from stray notes. 1t was i'm
possible, and he called on the Russian
government for more time. Time was
refused, and Russia repudiated the
contract on the ground of delay, as
the agreement allowed. Cobbett could
not get his work through In time, and
the Yankee firm. which now advanced
a cheaper tender, with cut and dried
plans. got the job. The loss drove

The Waters Under the Earth.

Below depth of six miles under the
surface of the earth's crust it is be-
lieved that no water can exist In the
rock formations, because the tremen-
dous pressure probably closes all
pores. But above that level the guam
tity Of underground water is estimated
to be equal TO one-third of all the wa
ter contained In the oceans. IL poured
over the land surface of the globe the
underground water would, 1t is averred,
be sufficient to cover 1t to uniform
depth Of from 5000 to $500 feet.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE Chicago
university faculty board of athletic
control, held meeting late this after
noon to hear a report from Coach
Stagg regarding the probable new
football rules. Coach Stage, before
the meeting, expressed anxiety to have
the conference over as he wishes to get
faculty permission to go ahead with
his football schedule for the coming
season. 1t Is expected that the pro-
fessors will not announce decision
regarding the football schedule for
several days., though they are eX-
pected to indorse the new rules sug-
gested by Stagg.
Chicago. Feb. II 1.-The promises
that Three Fingered Brown, the CUB
pitcher, would sign his contract Tor

to New Orleans, have not been full

alarmed lest Brown remain hold

Brown will have to sign up before

New York. Feb. II The officers
of the National league, at a meeting
next Tuesday will make careful

effort to simplify the ,ext of the rules.
Aside from such changes as these, as
serted President Lynch today. there
will be no further modification OF the
rules. according to his belief.
"For many years." declared the
former lighting umpire, "many of the
rules have been so worded that none
but skilled fans could get any mean
ing out of them. Even umplres,
when confronted by certain crises I'm

rules promptly, and on many occa-

my idea, when the officers meet on

greatest possible simplicity.

Lynch, whether there will be any
change in the personnel of the eight
umpires or not. The schedule COM
mittee will announce the schedule Of
