GOLD GOES TO BOY
Son of ssFhe Beautiful American"
Gets Million Dollars.

New York, Dec 15.-A million
American dollars will be sent to Eng
land next month and handed over to
an English youth who became 81 years
old on October %. He is Archibald
Sinclair subaltern of the life guards.
The money comes from the estate of
his mother. who was Mabel Sands,
toasted in London a quarter of a CEN
fury ago as 1.-THE beautiful American"
The fund which will now go to
young Sinclair amounted to only $780,,
900 when it was set aside in care of
an American trustee at the time of
his mothers death twenty years ago.
Careful handling has doubled the
amount, besides furnishing an annual
allowance of from $4,000 to $4,000 for
the support of the boy.
Young Sinclair will succeed to a.
baronetcy and one of the most valu-
able estates in Scotland upon the
death of his grandfather, Sir Tolte-
mache, who is 81. More than 100
square miles, are included in the es-
tate.
Sir To1tema che is eccentric. Though
he possesses vast wealth and a dozen
castles and country seats, he lives in
a bare suite of rooms off st. James
street, London, and lives on herring
and hominy.

FLESH-FORMING FOOD

When you buy a package of Samose,
the great flesh forming food, weigh
yourself and see how much you gain
IN tho first week < Use. George w.
Stansfield, druggist. 632 Kansas ave-
nue., will tell of many of his custom ers
who a month or so ago were thin, pale
and haggard, but who are now,
through the use of Samose, plump,
strong and happy, with perfect health
and attractive flesh. He has seen so
many instances of the wonderful
power of Samose to restore the weak
and sick to strength and health, and
to make good natural flesh, that he
gives his personal guarantee with ev-
cry package of Samose he sells to re-
fund the money if it does not prove
satisfactory.
Samose is a pure preparation, and
can be used with absolute confidence
by the most delicate. 1t gives remark
able results with children who are
weak and run down and without ap-
petite. It builds up the thin, pale,
puny girl and woman to perfect
pIumpness and health. It is the only
flesh forming food of its kind and in
addition, it strengthens every organ
of the body, restoring strength and
health to the whole system.

HE LAYS FIRST STONE
King George Starts Foundation of New
Indian Capitol.

Delhi, Dec. 15.-The king-emperor
and queen-empress today laid the first
stone of the new capitol of India,
which, as proclaimed after the dur
bar. is to be at Delhi. There was a
brilliant assemblage of ruling princes,
government and state officials. The
foundation stone simply bore the date
15-12-11. Their majesties both are en-
joying splendid health in spite of the
great fatigue they have undergone
during the lengthy ceremonies.
Rumor of Assassination.
London, Dec 15.-As far as it is
possible to ascertain, a totally I'M
King George at Delhi was started by
local telegram sent to a newspaper Of
flee last night inquiring if there was
any truth in report that the sender
had heard of the assassination of the
king.
The contents of the telegram spread
among the employees at the postoffice
and became known throughout the
city.
The rumor that King George had
been asSassinated spread like wildfire
through London. Nobody knew where
it originated, but 1t created immense
excitement.
This was only alIayed when a dis
patch from Delhi timed HAS midday
was received announcing the carrying
out of the royal program and not men
tioning any untoward incident.
The reports of fires in the Delhi dur
bar camp had been so grossly exagger-
ated and the disaffection among a
small section of the Indian natives
had been brought so prominently to
public notice in the newspaper recent
ly that Brftons were prepared for al
most anything that might happen dur
ing the sojourn of the king emperor in
India.

COBB AND MAGEE WON'T
DISPLACE WAGNER AND
LAJOIE FOR SOME TIME YET

A great deal has been said and writ
ten during the past few years about the
sensational work of Ty Cobb and Sher-
wood Magee in baseball, and at first
glance 1t would appear that their
equals never lived and that these stars
were eclipsing even the great records
made in the past by Hans Wagner and
Napoleon LaJoie. AS a matter of fact,
Cobb and Magee, with all their class,
are not likely to displace Wagner and
Lajoie as the greatest stars the game
ever knew. There are figures TO prove
1t, and they are given in the Official
National Baseball Guide, which has
just been issued for the first time. The
book Is edited by George L.. Moreland.
the noted baseball statistician n pres
ident of the Ohio and Pennsylvania
League, and he has compiled a set Of
records showing what Cobb and Magee
must accomplish this aso so that
their combined work for thirteen sea-
sons will equal the record of either
Wagner or Lajoie for the same Pc
riod. 1t is such a colossal job hat the
Dutchman and the Frenchman may be
said to be in no danger of losing their
l~aurels. A more interesting set of
figures has never been published.

go. Barnes, for the jolly Five, tailed
81. He missed for a starter and was
not able TO overcome the handicap. He
had a score of 80 In the eleventh frame
and needed a strike to obtain a watch
fob. His effort was a good one, but
only seven pins fell down.
The Tuxedo Juniors went on next
with the Diehl No. 2 team. Powell was
the hardluck performer in this squad.
He hit the headpin twelve times. but
only made SO. He had 81 in the eleventh
frame and, with nine pins needed to
get one of the souvenirs offered by the
STAR, only knocked down eight pins.
Dugan, with one miss, had 81 and
Weeks, with two misses, tailed 90.
The Murray 3 team and the Elizabeth
Star Juniors were The next to take the
alleys. The scores were all low, es-
p~ecially the mark of z recorded by
Sonntag. The Acme A and B teams
also failed to turn in any high scores.
In the last squad the Court South
End F aggregation and the Night Owls
were given a chance to display their
skill. Leighton, with twelve straight
