OPPOSED USE OF THE FORK
For Many Years After It's Introduc-
tlon It Was Considered an Abb
surd AffeetatIon.

The Italians, with their delicate
good taste, were responsible for the
substitution of forks for fingers, but
It is diflcult to trace their use there
further back than the time CORE
spending to the reign Of Queen Eliza
beth, and then they were not widely
known.
In some parts Of Europe forks were
considered a useless luxury and sinful
indulgence and were for long time
under q ban OF the cIerics, though
these latter eventually had to give
way and tolerate their use by those
who wished to keep their fingers
clean.
In Germany the ordinary people re
qarded the innovation an absurd al
fectation, while the clerics considered
them an Insult to Providence. who
had given man wholesome food which
he ought not to be ashamed to touch
with his fingers. In courtIy France,
however. forks were welcome addi-
tion and speedily became popular.
The custom in England was Of very
slow growth. In the reign of James /.
and Charles /. the fork was only par
tally used, according to the writer's
of those periods, and even under the
commonwealth honors were equally
divided between them and fingers.
Later on, at the Restoration, their
use became more general, but people
we're by no means agreed on the best
method of handling them, and rules
we're soon formulated for guidance, so
that genteel persons could pride them
selves on the nice conduct Of the fork
after the manner observed at court.
Yet it Is dimcult to overcome the
preiudiees Of old customs, and the
sasirisss Of the day often amused

Tay'S Washington Letter.

Washington, D. q, June r..
The Democratic probe Of the money
trust. which was denounced and de-
rided BY every reactionary in the
country, has brought to light, in the
very first week of lis investigation,
the fact that five men control the
banking situation in New York,
which means that practically the en-
tire banking machinery OF the
United States is under their control.
The inquiry, in other words, has
developed The following astonishing
facts:
That the New York clearinghouse
committee, which dominates the en-
tire banking situation in New York
City, can drive out any man or
group Of men from the banking
business, or refuse to let any man or
group Of men into the business, SIM
ply by withdrawing Of refusing the
privilege Of clearing through the as
ISOLATION.
That ths banks Of New York City
levy a tax fno \ $50, 000,000an-
annually on -to.ns $ bg charging
for the collect 4 e oit-of-town
checks. This srnl Is e1sivalent to
practically all the diyi'e DIS paid by
the banks, which aa.e them to
put all their other profits into sur
plus.
That the five members Of this
clearing house committee, which
yields this tremendous power, are in
turn closely associated with the
group of23 men who dominate prac-
tically all Of the industrial corpora
tions Of this country, and who exer-.
else control, through this domino
fion, Of one-third Of the entire wealth
gf the United States. At the head
of this group of % stands J. Pier
pont Morgan.
Themembers of this clearing COM
mittee, in which is vested this
tremendous power, are as follows;
Frank A. Vanderlip, chairman,
president and director Of educational
City Bank, director of the Southern
and Union Pacific railroads, and of
numerous other corporations. He
represents Standard Oil Interests.
James G.. Cannon, president and
director Of the Fourth National
bank, and director Of two other
New York banks. He represents
the !. P. Morgan interest.
0tton T. Barnard, president of
the New York Trust Company, and

Company. He represents both the
oil and ]. P. Morgan interests.
Richard Dalafeld, president Of the

MCFARLAND THE FAVORITE.>
Packy Meets 0ne-Round Hogan at
Fairmont A. C.. Tonight

NEW YORK. March 5.-When Packy
Mcfarland Of Chicago steps into the ring
at the Fairmont A. C. tonight for his ten
round bout with One-Round Hogan Of
San Francisco he will be a strong favor
lite. A large majority Of boxing. enthus-
lasts, who have seen these crack. light
weights in various local bouts, believe
that Mcfarland is more skillful and will
win on points, but not with his usual ease.
Hogan has shown some Improvement
since Ad Wolgast knocked him out in two
rounds last year. and is much stronger
physically. He is one of the hardest
punchers in the ring-if he lands-and has
many followers. But Hogan on form
lacks speed and ring generalship. quail
ties that count for much in clash with
Mcfarland, who still is regarded as the
best boxer of his weight and inches in
the world. The men must make 13S
pounds at o'clock this afternoon.

GAME IS
FASTER THAN OLD
John HeydIer Says the For
mer Stars Are Not in
It as a Whole.

NEW. YORK, March John Heydler,
secretary Of the National League. Is of
the opinion that the twentieth century
ball player puts up harder game than
did his predecessor Of twenty or thirty
years ago. Heydler thinks the present
day player has more incentive to win
than the old timers. He also believes the
game is faster now than it ever was.
'Base ball has improved and is faster
than It was twenty years ago." Heydler
says 1T simply had to be so. Thirty
years ago the supply of young ball play
ers was limited. Today every small city
has ball team and the big leagues get
the pick OF these thousands OF minor
league performers. There were no paid
scouts in the old days. OF course. there
were times when q manager would be
tipped of to a promising yOIngster, but
clubs could not afford to hire one for no
other purpose than to roam from one
ocean to another searching Tor budding
talent.
Must Hustle for Jobs.
1.-THE, modern ball player also has to
put up faster game than the player
of a quarter Of a century ago. when
there was not bench full of youngsters
ready to take the veterans job at the
first sign Of a slow-up. Every spring
now there are many players afraid they
will lose their jobs. All teams take a
small army or recruits to their southern
training camps. These recruits are young
and ambitious and their main desire in
life is to be in the big leagues. Every
season new stars are discovered, which
means that the old-timers must make
room for them.
I'm the old days there We're no training
camps Of consequence and few youngsters
got a. chance to beat out the seasoned
veterans. Managers We're much more in
clined to stand pat in the old days than
they are now.
Money Is the Secret.
1.-THE worlds series Is the greatest in
centive to fast ball. Players are human
and the money that goes to both winners
and losers in a worlds series comes In
handy in the winter time.
THE races also are closer now than
they ever were. or course We still have
runaway races in the big leagues but
as a rule our campaigns are much closer
today than they were Ia the early days
OF the National League. Usually there
was one team which outclassed the others
