CAP. ANsoN DOESN'T
 NEED PENSION.
President Tener Says Veteran Chicago
 Player is Satisfied.

New York, Dec. 19.-Gov. John k. Tener, the new president of the Ma tional League of Professional Base ball Clubs. announced today through Secretary Heydler of the league that Capt Adrian c. Anson. the veteran Chicago player, was not in need of 8 pension, and he saw no reason why one should be granted. A proposal to pension Anson was discussed at the annual meeting of the league here dur ing the week of Dec. 8. Secretary Heydler's statement follows:
 "Governor Tener was asked today if he was in favor of pensioning Captain Anson and if he would have the Ma tionaI league take some action in the as president of the National league, l will say that see no reason why . pension should be voted Captain An son. The captain is strong physically and mentally and is appearing weekly on the vaudeville stage. He is entirely satisfied with the remuneration he IS receiving for his talent. In common with his many friends, l deplore the continued reference to the National leagues failure to provide a pension for the captains support
 "'Mr, Anson is far from being an object of charity, and would refuse any pension that any league would vote him. The National league is not un- mindful of it's heroes and faithful and if there should come a time when Captain Anson should need the organ ization's support it will quickly and gladly come to his assistance.
 Please let me add in conclusion that I trust the above statement will set at rest all discussion relative to Captain Anson receiving a pension from the National league.

HE NEVER EVEN TOOK AIM
But the Tyro at Hunting Brought Down Two Birds, and Shot
 No More.

"Only once in my life did I eve, do any shooting" said a travelling man, talking to a group in the cafe of one of the big New York hotels, "and that once I made a real hit. E was in western town to which my trip had carried me, and the natives had arranged a prairie chicken hunt for the following day. Of course ' was invited. I protested that I was out of practice, but they insisted that ! go along, and some one furnished a gun for my use.
 eAs the only stranger in the party, they let me go ahead, following the dogs closely. I didn't even know what prairie chicken looked like; whether they would run along the ground or fly. Suddenly I heard tremendous whirr, the sound, as I came to know, of the birds taking wing. So excited was I that. without raising the gun to my shoulder, pulled the trigger. Bang!' went the gun, and two of the birds futtered slowly to the ground
 He never even took aim shouted one of the hunters, and my reputation was made. Thereafter I rested OH my laurels, not attempting another shot throughout the day, or ever since"

North Dakota, oregon, New Jersey. Michigan, Ohio and Col orado are among the states where the honor system has been developed to its highest degree
 Under the laws Of North Dakota the board of control may employ convicts on the public highways, their expenses to be paid by the respective counties In which they work. The law stip- ulates that the prisoners perform their duties under the supervision of skilled laborerS, who act as guards; but so far as possible, the law declares, the convicts are to be placed on their honor
 Another feature of North Dakota s prison laws is worded as follows: Each short time convict worked upon said state roads shall receive a credit upon his time of ten days for each 30 days that he shall faithfully and diligently work upon said state roads, and in case of convicts serving life sentences, such privileges shall be giv- en them as in the judgment of the warden is proper. but in case that any convict fails to do faithful and eff cient work or attempts to escape, he shall forfeit all or as many of said credits as in the judgment of the warden shall be proper"

TWO JOHNSoNs AROUSE
 WRATH OF SPECTATORS
Coiored Gentlemen Fail to Mix It Up in
 Ten Round Bout.

Paris, Dec. 19.-Jack Johnson, the heavyweight champion, and Battling" Jim Johnson, another colored pugilist, of Galveston. Tex. met in a ten round contest here tonight which ended in draw. The spectators loudly protest ed throughout that the men were not fighting and demanded their money back. Many of them left the hall.
 The organizers of the fight explain ed the fiasco by asserting that Jack Johnson's left arm was broken in the third round.
 There is no confirmation of widely circulated report that Jack Johnson has been stabbed. During the first three rounds he was obviously playing with his opponent. After that it Was observed that he was using only his right hand.
 When the fight was over he com plained tha this arm had been injured. Doctors who made an examination cer tif1ed to a slight fracture of the radius of the left arm. The general opinion Is that his arm was injured in a ,wres ting match early in the week and that 8 blow tonight caused the fracture of the bone.

DOING IN THE -
 AUTOMOBILE WORLD.

It was in Colorado, under Warden Thomas J. Tynan. that the honor sys- tenn was first employed among prison ersa at work on the highways, and it is fn that state and Oregon that the system has been most extensively de- veloped. Governor West, of Oregon, in a statement to the national com mittee on prison labor concerning the honor system among prisoners at work on the roads, said:
 Our road gangs are made up of from 15 to 25 men, with a. free man as foreman, who lives and works with his crew. His word is law in camp, and his report as to conduct of the priS- oners carries great weight with the prison officials. It is most essential therefore, that great care be exer- cised in the selection of these fore men. We have had unexpected suc- cess in the operation of our road gangs. Some have been maintained as far as three hundred miles from the prison and nearly all in the hills and noun tains where every opportunity was given to escape. At first we lost a number of men, due largely to the novelty of the plan and unjust news paper criticism which made many of them fear the abandonment of the policy and their return to prison. There has been less newspaper crit icism of late, and the public, seeing the merits of the system, is accepting it as settled policy"

Washington Weather Good.
The climate of Washington for the
greater part of the year is not unfavor-
able, in my opinion, for consumptives.
Certainly during the summer months
there are many trying days If one lives
within the city limits. The brick build
ings and asphalt pavements retain the
heat and radiate it at night. But in the
suburbs and the surrounding country the
temperature is several degrees cooler
during the day. and the nights are usu-
ally comfortable for one sleeping in a
tent or on an open porch. Our periods
of sultry weather are usually Of short
duration, and our summer breezes are
refreshing Shade is desirable during the
heat of the day, and a light blanket or
at least a sheet will be found comfort
able at night. Our spring and autumn
months are delightful, and the winters
are comparatively mild. In short We
have a good average climate. and the
victims of tuberculosis would do well to
consider the matter from all points Of
view before deciding to seek change Of
climate.
