HORsAoE PITCHING REDIVIVUs.

1t gives us much pleasure to record
that horseshoe pitching is coming into
its own again. Out in Crawford coun-
ty, Iowa, they have several local
horseshoe pitching clubs and from
time TO time they meet each other for
championship matches. Down in In
diana Charles w. Fairbanks. former
vice president, is to meet John NJ
Studebaker, millionaire wagon maker,
for the state championship at horse
shoe pitching. From numerous other
vicinities come similar bits of news
of an encouraging revival of this
pastime.
Pitching horseshoes is a grand old
game.
1t is democratic. It's LONELINESS
is its great merit. Nobody is barred
as far as cost is concerned. Horse
shoes for the sport may be borrowed
of any good-natured blacksmith and
any vacant spot of ground will do,
providing it is some twenty or thirty
feet long and wide enough to swing
your arms in. Social standing or
wealth cuts no figure. If you will re-
call the old days in your town, some
of the best matches OF the season
We're fought out between the town
deadbeat and the banker. 1t puts men
on a common level with each other
and makes them forget the distinction
that ordinarily divides them.
1t is a convenient game; it can be
played anywhere, at any time, with
out lot of preliminary fussing about
it. 1t is good game for young and
old alike, and even women and girls
may aspire TO some proficiency in it.
1t is sociable game, with plenty of
time for good-na1ured banter or talk
,about the crops or politics, or gossip
about the absent.
If you ever lived in little town
you will recall the horseshoe pitching
grounds underneath the shade OF the
tall cottonWoods in front of the old
blacksmith shop. or else on side
street near the postoftice You will
recall the familiar characters. Hank"
"Bill," Dock" and all the rest, who
met there regularly to exercise their
sksll with the shoes. You will recall
the crowd that sat on the benches
near, or stood around, jesting, laugh
ing, and now and then debating noisily
some close point. You will recall the
when a shoe sailed through
the air prettily and landed full around
the peg, ringer, and settled the
match. And as you recall these things,
you will agree that the freedom, the |
the democracy, the sim
plicity of it all made it great fun. !
Pitching horseshoes is homely sport
cut with its homeliness it has fine
qualities that golf and tennis and the
ike never can have.-Register and
-eader.

Grindell Matthews, a young Eng
lsh engineer, is believed by his friends
to be on the verge of giving to the
world wireless telephone with which
conversations may be carried on
across the Atlantic. 1t may not be-
come public, as the British govern
ment may seek to acquire the sole
right to it, preserving the secret, and
retaining it for use in war All that
is known concerning the apparatus is
that it is in a box so small that one
may easily carry it about Instru-
ments may be tuned so that they will
transmit only to others tuned in tho
same key. A man might telephone to
his wife while she is out shopping,
Tests have been made in which tho
interposition of brick and iron walls
was shown to be no barrier. Nothing
seems too wonderful In the way OF in
vention-especially where electricity
is concerned; SO nobody will be great
ly surprised If Matthews invention
fulfills its promise.

FOR MORE SHIPS.
ONE SEAMAN LOSES HIS LIFE

Drowning of Man From Battleship
New Jersey.

New York.-Fresh from his cross.
continent tour of $4,000 miles. Presi'
dent Taft, from the wind-swept bridge
of the historic little cruiser yacht
Mayfower, reviewed the mightiest
line of fighting craft ever assembled
under the American flag.
Standing on the bridge of the May
flower, anchored off Twenty-third
street, the president braved a 60-mile
gale to receive the homage Of % great
steel-clad leviathans steaming down
the river along the shore of New York
city.
AS the line of ninety-nine ships OF
war swept past the Mayfower. on
which stood Mr.. Taft, and doomed the
presidential salute of twenty-one guns,
the three tiers of men manning the
port rail were in rigid salute. AS the
New Jersey, seventeenth vessel in
line, swept by everyone on the presi-
dents yacht uncovered in silent re-
spect to the memory of Gustave Frey,
able seaman, who had lost his life
only an hour before. The seaman lost
his footing while assisting at the star
board gangway of the New Jersey and
plunged into the raging river. For an
hour the vast armada was held up
while boats from various ships made
vain search for the unfortunate
sailor.
After reviewing the fleet the presi-
dent left for Hot Springs, Va.
Before his departure the president
issued the following statement:
'Those who saw the fighting fleet
which was assembled in New York
harbor could not fail to be struck with
it's preparedness and with its high mil
itary efficiency and must have been
proud of it's personnel
THE demonstration has had an edn-
cational value in arousing patriotism,
increasing the general knowledge of
and interest in the navy, illustrating
the ability to mobilize on short notice
and showing the skill of the officers,
who turned the whole feet in the mar
row river and sent 1t to sea at the
rate of IA knots an hour.
ST am more than ever convinced of
the desirability Of comforting upon
the commanding officer of our fleet the
title of admiral, or at least of vice-ad-
miral At present the ranking officer
is rear admiral and this title is not
commensurate with the Importance
of the fleet. At the review of the Ger
man fleet at Kiel, a smaller number
of ships were under the command of
a full admiral. two S0uadrOna were
commanded by vice-admirals, and each
Of four divisions was commanded by
a rear admiral"

WOMAN ACCUSED OF MURDER
Arrest of Mrs. Louise Vermllya,
Charged With Poisoning Chicago
Policeman, Is Ordered.

Chicago.-Following report of the
experts who examined the viscera OF
Policeman Arthur f. Bissonette, who
died in the home of Mrs. Louise Yer
milya under mysterious circum
stances, that they had found arsenic
in abundant quantities" a warrant
charging Mrs. Vermilya with murder
was issued.
Coroner Hoffman announced that he
would exhume two bodies Immediately
in further investigation of eight IA
talities among persons related to or
closely associated with Mrs. Yer
milya.
For reasons best known to the au-
thorities interested in the case, Mrs.
Vermilya has not been taken to po-
lice cell. The warrant charging her
with murder was taken before Judge
Walker by Archie Bissonette, a
brother of the man whose death
brought on the investigation.
Two policemen are constantly on
guard over Mrs. Vermilya at her resi-
dence, 415 East Twenty-ninth street,
to prevent her from escaping or from
harming herself. In their hands the
murder warrant has been placed.

Most Pickle Man.

When Col. VILLAIN M. Howard, now
a member of the tariff board, was cleo
tioneering for congress one autumn
in bygone days, he struck a back
woods county in Georgia, and got very
busy talking softly to the voters. He
was much concerned about a man
named John, who was now for him,
then against him, and always change
able.
whats the matter with John?" the
colonel asked one of his constituents.
Jaw, you can't tell nothin' about
John, colonel" was the assurance. HE
Is the most tickle man you ever see.
Why, he has had religion so many
times, and been baptized in the creek
down here so often that the bullfrogs
know him every time he's 'mersed."
What makes old age so sad is,
not that our joys, but that our hopes
cease.-Richter.

The New York populace is apt to
smile with plying superiority when ii
hears a Cockney drop his his" II
forgets that it is equally culpable in
regard to another letter of the alpha
bet, r. How it does shy at r.
When the letter is not dropped en-
tirely it becomes "oi." as in "goil'

Is being done in our public schools
to correct this bad habit and others
equally bad? The Cockney language
is not thing of beauty or a delight
to the ear, but positively we are de-
veloping an argot here that is much
worse; a monstrous, hybrid form OF
speech. devoid at once of grace and
music. Let our school commission

ARE THE STARS FADINc7

The opening of the present theatre
cal season is accompanied by the
proclamation of new principle. For
20. years or more the star has been
the idol of the public and the god of
managers. Mighty was the wage of
this divinity. The star system seemed
permanent. But last season was one OF
the most trying that theater managers
have ever weathered. Scarcely one
has not curtailed his enterprises, says
the New York Sun. Theatrical invest
ment is on much less extensive
scale than it was IL months ago. Elk
IRENE conservatism marks the bust
ness this fall Managers are search
ing for suggestions as to the best
means of putting their affairs on a
solid basis. One result of this 1nves-
tigation is the assertion that it would
probably be much better for the the
aters If there were fewer stars or
none at all The reasons for this de-
cision seem sound, at all events sound
er to reasonable laymen than the
causes OF the sudden promotion of
every blue-eyed ingenue to the rank
of star. Managers have decided
that the theatrical celebrity they
make holds them afterward in tyran-
nical grasp. They must eventually
accede to ali the conditions these play
ers may impose. Thus by deliberately
creating star they are raising up
force that will eventually be inimicaI
to them.
