FIRST THINGS

The first model city" for workmen was formally opened thirty-eight years ago today on the Shafteebury Park Estate, near Wandworth, Lon don, s. w.. This was the first at tempt to provide ideal cottage homes for laborers, artisans and clerks and to relieve the congestion prevailing in the crowded tenement districts of the worlds metropolis. The Earl of Shaftesbury was largely instrumental in the formation of the Artisans Laborers' and General Dwellings Com pany, which prompted the enterprise. The scheme was very successful and estates were purchased in the vicini- ty of a number of British industrial centers. The problems of congestion despite the slight relief afforded by such model cities'' continue to be acute, and are now receiving serious consideration by the sociological ex. perts of all big cities of Europe and America. Thomas A. Edison has lately predicted that the problem will be solved by means of his cement poured houses.7

A STRAINS IDEA OF
 WOMEN AS SMOKERS.

Tn the August American Magazine appears a story called ''The Pedd1er," !" in which the principal character is a Syrian, who comments as follows on smoking among women What he says is addressed to the daughter of a. New England family, who of course looks upon smoking among women with a. kind of horror tE

JERSEY CITY FRANCHISE
 MAY BE TRANSFERRED SOON

Declaring that they cannot afford to lose any more money, James J. LilIis and Hugh McBreen, owners of the Jersey City baseball club of the International League, have announced that unless the games at West Side Park are more generously patronized, they will be obliged to transfer the franchise to some other city. .4.f,y s
 In & public statement issued yester- day, President Lillis said there would be a game on Sunday to test the loy- alty of the local baseball enthusiasts. Jersey City and Baltimore will be the contesting teams
 ed from g to 50 cents, and the grand stand seats will be 75 cents instead of 50 cents.
 The free list, including passes, will be suspended. If the attendance is not up to the expectations of the own- CTS, it will be the last game played in Jersey City.
 Ffesident 1illis says that only by the increase of prices and an attend ance that will show 9 desire on the part of the local fans. to patronize the game f'can Jersey City be continued on the baseball map"
 It was learned that the Jersey. City team has made money only one year since it was established.
 James J. LilIis, a Jersey City law yer, bought the team two years ago from the estate of the late Robert Davis. Last year Hugh McBreen, Of Boston, became part owner of the team.

JOHNSON MIGHT ; FIGHT JEANNETTE
Said to Be Willing to Meet Joe Tn Madison Square
 Garden

; According to dispatches from Cht-. .cago Jack Johnson has broken his si- lence regarding match with Joe Jeannette. and is now thinking of talk ing on the Hoboken negro. AppaF- ently Johnson has given up hope of meeting Al Palzer in New York. Not only would such a match be frewned upon by the Boxing Commission, but there does not appear to be any pro- moter willing to stage the affair. With two negroes it is different. Two clubs have standing offers for such a match.
 Johnson has given as reason fog his desire to now meet Jeannette that he wants to show the Boxing Com of New York. Commissioner O'Neili is on record as saying that he would not allow Johnson to box here under any conditions. However, d1e would probably change, his mind if shown that there is a demand for the ci1ann- pion's appearance with a member of his own race and one of nearly equal ability.
 If Johnson really means business it will be good, news to Jeannette, who has been challenging with a steady persistency for many months. No doubt. also, the match would be a tremendous attraction. Although t1e- gro boxers whsn matched together seldom stir up the fans to the limit ofs enthusiasm, this bout would be an exception. It can be said for Jeah- nette that he has never been accused Of dishonest practices; he has the con fidence of the fans.
 When Jeannette boxed Sam Lang ford at the Garden last year the bout was a real fight and there was no question of stalAhg Jeannette's great showing at the time caused ring fol- lowers to wonder if he would not have a. good chance of beating the cham pion. It is conceded by many that in any case Jeanette is capable of extending Johnson. For years the Galveston black has been handling his opponents with such consun1mate ease that there is not an adrnirer of box ing in the country who is not curious to see him extended to the limit in order ato ascertain just how good he really is. Before Johnson met Tom- my Burns he was mixed up in. many affairs that appeared close. However, there was always the suspicion that he was stalling to suit his own pnf~ pose. Whether this is 70 or not the fact remains that with the exception of that much discussed knockdown scored by Stanley Ketchel none of his opponents in late years has been able to cause him moments distress.

WOMAN's STRUGGLE
 TO WEAR BLOoS1ERs

In an article on "A Woman and Her Raiment" in the August Anaerieaa Magazine, Ida M. Tarbell has the fol- lowing to say about biocnnere:
 The story of the bloonneF is piauart It was launched and worn. It be- came the subject Of platform oratory and had its organ. Why is it not worn to-day? No woman who has ever n1asQueraded in mans dress or donned it for climbing will ever forget the freedom of it. Yet the only woman in the Christian world who ever wore it at. once naturally and with, that touch of coQnetry which is necessary to cAr- ry it off, as far as this writer's per- sonaI observation goes. was Madame Dieulafoy. and Madame Dieulafoy was protected by the French government and an exclusive circle.
 "Bloomers proved too much for even the courage of dear Miss Anthony For two years she wore them, and then with tears and iannentat re- signed them. In that resignation Miss Anthony paid tributA, unconscious1y no doubt, to something deeper than she ever gFasped in. the woman question. Her valiant soul met it's master in her own nature, but she did not recognize it. she abandoned her convenient and becoming costume because Of preju- dice, she said What other prejudice ever disnayed herl She thrived on lighting them; she met her woman'S soul, and did not know it!"

MOST PICTURESQUE
 OF AFRICAN COAST CITIES

Zanzibar! It is a name to be sung by lovely corphees to. rag-time music of comic opera. And the reality is all that the name suggests. and more. Today the people of Zanzibar will celebrate the tenth anniversary of the accession of Sultan Seyyid Ali, and the most picturesque and fascinating of African East Coast cities will be en fete. True, the paleface invaders have pulled the throne from under the Sultan, and he is now a monarch in name only. Once the fathers of the youth who now bears the title of Sultan of Zanzibar ruled over a vast territory, including not only the isl- ands but a wide stretch of mainland
 While the rule of the dusky potentates is a tale that is told, Zanzibar has not yet lost those fascinating features that have made the capital unidue.
 As the tourist enters the harbor of the city of Zanzibar, the chief entrepot of East Africa, he sees rising from the waters a fragment of mast. That piece of wreckage stands for one of the most heroic episodes in the his- tory of the black race. When great British war vessel. came into the har- bor to take possession of the islands, the navy of His Highness the Sultan

GIANTS AND PIRATES i

How dos the at4nts and Pirates stand on the serieS:" The visiting manager had to acknowledge that he did not know T know we are in first place and are going to remain there,'' '' said McGTaw. "The few defeats at the hands of the Western clubs have not got the nerve of the boys and they are just as hap py as ~ though they had wen every game instead of having lost seven of 'fs srhe tsst fan nihs renarked that he did not mean the number of games the Giants and Pirates had played this year but since the two teams have played been bs in the I National league. The look @ he received from the little hustler was enough By this time a few of the players had gathered around the, bug. for. no person but a bug would ask such a question, and Chief Meyers, others, inquired the number.
 'Out. came a book that looked like an ancient Bible. but it proved to be a book of dope, such mass of figures that even John H. Gruber, one of the leading statisticians in the country would be proud to own.
 "Well, you see," said the bug, '"The Gitnts have been a member of the Na- tionai league five years longer than Dthe Pirates, so we will have to start in about 1887 when the Pittsburgh team left the old American Association and east its lot with the older league. Since the two teams have been play ing they have met 454 times This number includes the games played last month in New York when the Pirates won three of the four games played. 3
 "well, how do the two teams stand in the number of games played?" ask ed the Chief.
 why the Giants have a little the best of it,' said the fan. "As they have won two more games than the Pirates have.'
 The Chief almost dropped. Two games separating two teams that have played against each other since 1s87?" said Meyers. "Why, you're dippy'
 ''Is that so," came back from the bug.
 Let me show you something. You see this table? Well that is the num- Der of games each has played and you can see the Giants have won in New York 12s games. while the Pi- rates were satisfied with 104. Seven of the games were tie affairs Now, on the other hand you see the Pirates

 AMERICAN ROWING HoNoRs IN oLYMPIAp

Tn the absence of any crew from the United States, Canada must defend American rowing henors in the olym- pic Games regatta, which commences today at Lake Malar, near Stockholm. The program for the oarstnen covers two days and includes races for eigths, ,fours, and single souls. There are thirteen entries for the eigths, about the same number for the fours, and twenty-two for the singles. Be- sides the Canadian contingent, wear ing the colors of the Argonauts of Toronto. the nations represented include England, France. Italy, Germany, Austria, Hungary. Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Russia. The failure of the United States to. get into the game is source of regret to the Olympic games authorities as with Uncle Sam's oarsmen represented there would have remained no question as to the worlds rowing supremacy, In the opinion of experts, however, the Argonauts are the champions of North America, and entirely qualified to defend the aqua tic honors of the continent
 The light and dark blue crew of the AIkQudukSy W1t1t 4OG Ey+4SAI 06 SHGSt4' includes the following stars: c. Rid dy, bow, age 25, rowed in Olympic eight in England four years ago: Gee.
