Anacostia Masonic Hall, that Andrew
Carnegie has or will contribute S5O.OOO
for the erection in Washington OF an
Indian palace for the Brotherhood OF
North American Indians. Great lnco-
honee Grisgs has submitted to the mem
bers of the order throughout the coun-
try a denial of the report, and TINS
was read at last nights meeting here.
Mr.. Griggs said that since the publ
cation of the story that Andrew Car
negie will assist in the erection OF a
home for the brotherhood, he has been
in receipt of many inquiries from Con-
gressmen and others, who have been
trying to find out the facts, as the
improved Order of Red Men has a bill
pending in Congress for an appropria-
ton Of $l.000,O00 for the construction IN
Washington of a memorial and museum
TO the American Indian. There mas
been some conflict between the two
propositions.
Mr.. Griggs stated he has gone to
the Carnegie foundation trustees. and he
is in a position to brand the story OF
Mr.. Carnegle's reported contribution. as
being untrue. If Mr.. Carnegie assists
any proposition he will aid that promul,
gated by the Improved Order OF Red
Men.

CHEESE DENOTES THEIR RANK
Swiss Family Found Without Aged

Lucerne.-T English, the Ger

consumers of cheese, but the people
of Switzerland surpass them all. The
cheese Of Zermatt is SO hard that one
Is obliged to scrape It or cut off chunks
with a Ratchet, and it's use is con-
sidered most important on all cere-
monious occasions. The rank of a
Swiss family is known by the age of
its cheese, and the more affection or
respect a guest inspires the harder is
the cheese which is cut in his honor.
1t is said that there are families in
Switzerland whose cheeses date from
the first French revolution, and these
are served only at baptisms, weddings
and after funerals.
The larder In every family is guard
ed with care and the cheese is named.
Upon the birth Of a new heir q cheese

him or her, and that particular cheese

of Ty Cobb's work. This view of mine,

many of them-some of extraordi-

have their friends and hackers, and
they do have them. But Cobb's ca

much above everything that was or

his fellow players, and o demand
that recognition which they so rich

Cobb's marvellous showing as a bat

ever, his uncanny ability as a base

unequaled, his record-breaking feats

about ten miles from Engedi lies

little above and beyond the rank of
any other player in the game today.
Cobb is still a young man. He has
but reached the age when the aver
age big league player is beginning to
get a reputation. In the nature OF
things he should have several years OF
his best work still before him. What
he will do in the future no one knows,
but he should certainly not go back
for several years to come. 1t seems
hardly possible that he could better
the record of the year before. Cobb's
career has been a constant success
sion of shattered records and seem
ingly impossible achievements.
But whether he improves or not in
the next few seasons which are left
him for active play, his career up to
date clearly entities him to the honor
of being considered the greatest play.
er In the world Of baseball. l believe
no fair-minded critic will deny this
statement.
The Chalmers commission. com,
posed of leading critics of the game,
gave Cobb their unanimous vote-an
honor which could not have been
granted to any other individual now
on the diamond. Every section has
It's own particular star; every city its
special favorite, but all sections and
all cities, whether or not they agree
on any other single topic In baseball,
all agree in giving Cobb credit or
standing without a peer. He is the
universal comparison of the highest
ability. It is the greatest praise
which can be given q coming star to
say that he is q second Ty Cobb.
Cobb Is the model, the perfect stamp
Of the truly great bali player.
