Consul Kina David.

This amusing anecdote of Lamartine
is related by the Baroness Bonde In
her volume OF letters. Shortly after
the revolution Of February be wrote
on the blank leaves OF his pocketbook
the names Of his proteges and sent the
list to be provided With places imme-
diately. Previously, however. it seems.
be had scribbled David" on the page.
and the head Of the cabinet appointed
the said David consul at Bremen. The
postulant. however. never came for
ward. and. though the poet did not like
being disturbed, NJ. Hetzel was oblig-
ed to ask who was the David on his
list.
He who danced before the ark"
was the answer.
"Oh. dearl have gazetted him to
Bremenr
How very singularl I meant him
for subject for meditation. not for
nomination. But you can cancel it."
The moniteur registered the change.
but few knew that the last consul ap-
pointed to Bremen was King Davidl

Language Of switzsrIand.

1t is a curious fact that the people
most celebrated for love Of country
should In a manner be without a Ian
guage-that is. a mother tongue. The
Swiss have three official languages
German. French and Italian. About
three-fourths Of the population Of the
mountain confederation speak Ger
man. while the remainder divide four
other languages among them. chiefly
French and Italian. these languages
being found. as a rule. IN districts in
close proximity to the countries where
in those languages are the principal
tongue. In Switzerland documents and
notices are printed in both the French
aud German languages. 10 the nation
al assembly members deliver their
speeches IN either French or German.
for nearly all members understand
both tongues. The decrees and procla-
nations OF the president are translated
by an official interpreter and furnished
to the press In both languages.-New

Fans and Players Must Dis

BASEBALL HURT BY
KICKING SPECTATORS

Interest in basketball in this city
at the present time being at such a
high pitch. the following list Of
"donfs" for players and fans alike, Is
opportune. Like all games Of athletic
strength or superiority basketball af-
fords many opportunities for the
rough player and the ungentlemanly
spectator TO show their respective
traits The "don'ts" follow: Don't
Talk when You have nothing to say.
Silence is golden, so get rich.
BE a wise guy and show your ig-
norance of the game Lobsters live
much longer.
Be an "I-told-you-so" crank after
the games. People don't believe you
anyway.
Get so excited as TO bite your
tongue. Take chance and hit some
body in the back.
Run II you should happen to stick
your foot in another mans mouth or
your fingers in his eyes. 'Twould be
better to apologize.
Blame everything on the king Of the
cage. Perhaps your team fell asleep
at the switch.
Expect Dame Fortune TO smile on
your pets all the time. You're not the
only ones. There are others.

FODDER FOR
FIGHT FANS
PhiladelphianS Agree That
Mcfarland iSAmong The
Best Lights
KEYES SHOWS YP WELL
AGAINST KNOCKOUT BROWN

Philadelphia has joined the ranks
with New York in picking Packey Nc
Farlsnd the best of the lightweights.
McFariands easy victory over young
Erne IN their six-round go at the Ma
tional A. c., in Philadelphia, last
night, bulled his stock TO the top fg-
ure. Erne was hardly in his usual
form, being sadly overweight, but at
his best, his friends admit, he would
have no show against the Chicago
stock yards mauler.
Mcfarland does not show a sign Of
the fight today while Erne is badly
used UP. After the first round the
fight was all McFarland's.
Although he was outpointed by
Knockout Brown In their ten-round
bout at the Empire A. c., New York,
last night, Bert Keyes is today re-
ceiving more praise for his showing
than is the victor. Keyes was sub
stituted for Tommy Murphy on twen-
ty-four hours notice, and he gave
Brown one of the stiffest arguments
the latter has had in many day.
Brown was devoid Of cleverness, aud
missed a score of opportunities to put
over his well-known kick" All
through, the championship aspirant's
exhibition was such as to give his
friends scant hope for the outcome
OF his contemplated fight with Ad
Wolgast, the champion.
Jim Corbett has revealed at last the
identity of his mysterious unknown
hope OF the white race" He Is none
other than Ralph Barbour, of New
York, millionaire baker and amateur
heavyweight champion.
in one years time said Corbett
today, Il could take that fellow and
have him beat Johnson. He has
everything strength, speed,
weight, power and punch | think
he is a wonder. All he needs is
coaching.
mo, I never considered seriously
Miles Mcleod, Carl Morris or any of
those much touted fellers. Barbour
is the man l had in mind all the
time.
81 can't see any other man in sight.
Bill Lang is a good rough boxer, but
that lets him out. Al Kaufman is too
slow. The rest of them don't count,
unless perhaps Norris should de-
velop. The only one can see is
Barbour, and as | have said, with one
years coaching l could make him
beat Johnson"
Corbett is at Richmond in theatrical
plays.
