Criticism of alleged Overcharging for
seats and general admission 10 the big
football games in Washington is hardly
justifab!e.
On last Saturday the gridirOn en-
thusiRsts of this city had an opportunity
to see one Of the greatest teams in
America in action. and on next Satur-
day will be afforded chance to view
q mighty battle at Georgetown Field,
and while there are some who maintain
that 81 is excess ve, the price is but
fair, considering the attraction.
Seats to good theatrical productions
are at least this much, and in view Of
the sport that is guaranteed whenever
the Indians play or Georgetown and
Virginia meet, there seems 20 be no
justihable ground for the objections that
were made last Saturday
A good football game Is a grand spec
tacle and, considering the few OppOr-
tunities offered for the sport in Wash
ingIon IL is not surprising that the
crowds should be so large. Last Sat
urday was a disagreeable day for both
the crowd and the teams, still more than
1000 saw the contest at National Park
and If conditions are at all favorable
AL records for attendance Will go by ne
boards at Georgetown next Saturday
Xhen the football classic Of this section

Incidentally II might be mentioned
that the game between Tech and Cen
trail next Friday at National Park for
the high school championship of the
District will be some battle.
Those skeptics who attempted TO dis
count the work Of the rules committee
are now being forced TO admit that the
1911 brand OF football is a much i'm
proved article T. X.

Passing of Reno.

After the Fourth of July fasco at
Reno II was announced that a syndicate
had been formed TO purchase the arena
in which Johnson beat up Jeffries and
make Reno the center Of the pugillstic
world by staging championship fights
al as frequent intervals as it was pos
sible to match leaders in their respec-
tive classes. Now comes the news that
the structure IN which johnson eSTned
fame is being demolished and whatever
dreams the Nevada people had Of max
ing Reno night center have vanished.
But after all Il is in no way surpris-
ing that matters should turn out as
they have. While there was many An
Fastener who was thoroughly disgust
ed at the exhibition which he had
Travelled to see, those VINO have the
real cause for complaint are the people
Of Nevada. They were the ones who
put up the guarantee to make pos
sible the fight after II had been driven
out Of California. and they made up
by far the great majority of the Specta-
tors who paid the heavy prices for seats
to see the greatest jest In tistiana's his
tory. Nevada is Tightfully peeViSh, and
II will be many a day before any pUgi-
lstic promoter could be encouraged to
put on a bout in that State.

POLITICAL ORATOR
IS JACK JOHNSON

NEW YORK, Nov. Z-Politics is the
latest field in which Jack johnson,
the ebony hued exponent of the manly
art, set out to conquer.
Johnson journeyed here from Chicago
to address a meeting Of the colored
Democracy at Bethel Church, and as
campaign orator he distinguished
himself by his prize ring repartee.
He's a bum" some one cried out
when Johnson urged the election OF
Thomas Catten to &C lgress
That's what they said about me be-
fore that day at Reno" retOrted the

BY this is not meant that a pitching

With the catching department exCell-
ing any in the American League, the
principal matter Of concern Of Jimmy

consistent, but in planning for the COM
ing year McAleer Wall depend upon
Walter Johnson and Tom Hughes for

Johnson's class has been demonstrated
beyond a doubt and while there are
many who predict failure for Hughes
it would appear from the record he
made in the fast American Association
that he is ripe for a return 10 the
major ranks for had not Washington
snatched him away from Cantillou he
would have landed with some other

A NEW INSTRUMENT
FOR MEASURING DISTANCES

Fort Stevens, Ore, Sept. S0.--A
new instrument which resembles a
telescope with which distance can be
measured by merely focusing on any
object, is soon to be installed at tho
observing station at this point. 1t
is said the instrument makes it pos
sible to detect the approach of an
enemy's fleet at a distance of 10000
yards and when focused gives the ex-
act distance of any object within
that distance.
The apparatus is so arranged that
the direction is given in degrees and
minutes and the mechanical features
are so delicately adjusted that they
automatically correct for curvature
of the earth's surface.
Only trusted officers will be al
lowed to use the instrument, the
details of which are kept secret by
the government.

FINE PLAY
AT GRAND
SATURDAY
THE LOTTERY MAN A ROLLTCK-
ING COMEDY, BRIM FULL OF
HUMOR AND WAY UP IN THE
AEROPLANE CLASS.

AS comedies go, 1.-The Lottery
Man" the latest play by Rida John
son Young, is regarded as one Of
the purest examples of humor the
American stage has seen since the
days that ones grandparents used
to laugh over pieces which were
free from taint. The Mesrrs. Shu.
bert lied off" the past season by pro-
ducing this comedy and they were
repaid for their venture a thousand
fold. Visitors to New York must
have brought back the news of the
play. A distinguished Buffalonian,
after witnessing a performance of
the piece at the Bijou in New York,
wrote: 81 venture TO say that If you
see The Lottery Man in New York,
you will see it again when it visits
your home town"
"The Lottery Man" ran at the Bi-
jou for eight months, or until the
finish of the past season. The
Messrs. Shubert are sending the
company to the Grand Opera House
Theatre next Saturday, October |,
with a company which includes such
well known players as: William
Rosell, Vivian Ogden, Lucia Moore,
Florence Robertson, May Donahue,
and others.
Prices: soc, 75c, $1.OO, $1.5O.
"The Lottery Man" proved to me
that l am in the o. K. est condition
of juvenile health. Not only did
howl with mirth throughout the
play, but I chuckled all the way
home. Even in bed 1 suddenly
found myself laughing at Lizzie.
I'm laughing now. Nothing SO fun
ny as Lizzie has happened in sea-
sons. Lizzie would break up Il
mummy" These are the words Of
Alan Dale, critic of 'The American"
who, after seeing the premiere of
the play at the Bijou Theatre, re-
turned three times.
'"The Lottery Man" remained in
New York for over eight months and
the Shuberts are now sending it TO
this city next Saturday, October /,
when it will be seen at the Grand
Opera House Theatre with a cast in
Guiding William Resell, Vivian Og-
den, Lucia Moore, Florence Robert
son, May Donahue and others. The
comedy, which is by Rida Johnson
Young, author of Brown of Har-
ward" takes it's name from the fact
that a newspaper reporter offers
himself as prize in human lot

Lizzie.

| COESTANTINOPLE, August 1s, 1910.
The Turkish parliament originally occu-
pied the Cheragan Palace-the most beau
tiful building in Turkey and one Of the
| most beautiful in all the World-until a
few months ago, when it was burned up.
The rooness walls stained with smoke
and the hollow windows now stand mute,
unable to testify in their own defense
and solve the mystery whether the ca
lamity was due to arson or accident. 1t
Is generally assumed that the fire was
started by incendiaries.
It seemed to break out in several places
at the same time, and burned so f1ercely
as to suggest inflammables However,
there Ia no definite knowledge on the
subject.
! It occurred in the night. The watch
! men were asleep or absent. There were
no police In the neighborhood.
One Of the most exquisite gems Of
architecture In existence was q hideous

Attempt to Destroy Papers.
The possible motive for an incendiary
| was to destroy a mass of documents dis
| covered in the Yiidiz Kiosk after the
forcible evacuation Of Abdul Hamid. His
archives, Official and, personal. filled fifty
carts and were hauled away to some un-
known place, where they are, being sorted
over by parliamentary commission.
Already extraordinary discoveries have
been made concerning the treachery and
hypocrisy Of prominent men. l will tell
you more shout it in a future letter.
There has been, and still is, a deter
mination on the part Of certain person

There have been several stormy scenes

ject.
Lacking other explanations. It has been
assumed that the Cheragan Palace was
set on fire for the purpose Of destroying
these private papers of the ex-sultan. 1t
was useless sacrifice.
The documents were not there. Few
people know where they are, except the
commission which Is engaged In CLASH

But. as q rule, there was little CO.

The Greeks and Armenians succeeded in
obtaining a larger proportion of the seats
than they are really entitled to. because
Of their aptitude in taking advantage OF
opportunities.
But the Turk has learned a valuable
lesson. The next time they will be con-

Results of Legislation.
In looking over the record Of the first

the practical character Of the legislation.
It offers a remarkable contrast to that

The elections were attended by great

a good deal Of chicanery. Greeks and
