NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY

BY E. J. Edwards

Il sometimes think that the most
srisdngly representative committee
that was appointed by me while I
was speaker OF the House OF Represen-
tatives was the one created by reSolu-
ton OF the House authorizing the ap-
pointment OF n committee which was
TO have charge. so far as the govern
ment was concerned. OF the Worlds
Fair Exposition TO be held at Chicago
in 1892. in commernoration OF the dis
covery OF America by Columbus"
This statement was made by Thorn
as Bracket Reed while chatting with
some OF his friends in New York city
year or two after he resigned his
seat in Congress and went to New
York TO practice law.
Every member Of the committee
that appointed vas a man OF ma
tional distinction" Mr.. Reed con-
tinued. and some Of them were Of
great distinction. Yet they were all
At that time members OF the House
OF Representatives. II was. OF course.
non-partisan committee. although a
majority OF the members were Re-
publicans - naturally enough, since
the Republican party was in control
OF the House.
I decided 20 appoint John W.
Gambler. OF Massachusetts,, because
Mr.. Gambler was one OF the most
widely known and highly respected
business men OF the United States.
Like many very able business men,
he was modest. His best work as
member Of Congress was done in the
committee room. was satisfied that
with Mr.. Gambler as chairman OF this
committee the responsibilities COM
mitted TO It would be adequately car
ried
Il named also James ]. Belden. OF
Syracuse. New York. a member OF
the committee. Ir. Bclden was n
very wealthy man and an exceeding
" able business man I suppose that
he had more intimate friendly per-
sonal relations with leading Demo-
Gratis than any other Republican OF
the House.

concerned, there is nothing TO be said
against any man chosen by the Board
OF Control yesterday. Those who have
been rc-appointed have generally been
faithful and satisfactory. The new
mcu appointed have good records as
citizens and stand high in the commu-

I thought that no member OF the
House could be more appropriately
made member OF this committee than
Robert II. Hit. OF Illinois. Person
ally he was a charming character.
and he had an experience which ex-
tended back TO the DAYS OF the great
debate OF Lincoln and Stephen A.
Douglas. for Mr.. Hit. in those days
reported these debates in shorthand
He was very able diplomat. and.
believe. he was without an enemy in

i also named Roswell p. Fowler. OF
New York. a member OF the commit
tee. lie was an extraordinary char
acter. He was elected governor OF
New York, and after his term OF
public life ended he became the great
individual leader in the Wall Street
market. I named William II. Hatch
because he was prominently identi-
fed with the development Of the Mis-
sissippi valley. and I took especial
pleasure in naming William L. VIII
son. OF West Virginia, who had
been postmaster general in President
Cleveland's second administration. I
thought ST. Louis ought 10 be repre-
o'iANNu hROii THIS ana

Frank. for whom had the highest

OF the House.
IAN Of these men were in good
health ard seemed likely 10 live to

fatality attended its members. I
think there are only one or two now

That fatality seemed 10 mark every
member OF this committee. with one
exception. Today only one is living

Opinion Divided on Boxing. Weights.

Opinion Divided on Boxing, Weights.
The new scale Of boxing weights as
adopted by the New York state ath-
letic commission and published recent
~ has occasioned considerable COM
ment throughout boxing circles. Not
only in New York state. beyond which
the jurisdiction of the commission
ceases. but In California. have the new
weights been discussed. and opinion
is much divided as to their merits.
A no less prominent person than
Tom McCarey. the Los Angeles boxing
promoter. has come out strongly
against the proposed changes. and. on
the other hand. Johnny Coulon. the
bantamweight title holder. has declar-
ed himself strongly in favor Of them.
Abe Attell. featherweight champion
for many years. takes the view that
champions will always be the sole die
tators when 1t comes to naming the
weights ut which a championship bat
tie should be fought.

He Won't Tell His Age.

In earlier years it was rather diff
cult to find a biography of James Whit
comb Riley that gave the year Of his
birth. 1t was Riley's theory that this
was imlmaterial and unimportant.
Some one in Boston sent a telegram
to his publishers in Indianapolis sew
eral years ago asking:
How old is James Whitcomb Ri
ley?'
1t was Riley's habit to visit the book
store Of his publishers every day. SO
the telegram vas held for his atten-
ton before sending an answer.
After he had read the telegram he
answered:
..You telegraph back to them that
nobody knows the age Of Mr.. Riley
but Mr.. Riley and the sphinx. and Mr..
Riley is not saying any more about it
than the sphinx News.

that early plans are being formulated
for the regntta. which will assume in
ternatiOnal proportions.
This was confirmed By Fred Fort
meyer. secretary Of the N. A. A: o..
who announced that the clubs afiliat-
ed with the National Association Of
Amateur Oarsmen have been invited
to send crewssso on to the coast to take
part IN the big regatta. Invitations

clubs in England. France. Belgium.

A s%wineherd's Method of Raising
Thrifty Chester Whites.
My plan in taking care Of my
Chester White hogs is to keep my
brood ;sows in just as thrifty a condi-
ton as possible at all times. writes F..
Little in Orange Judd Farmer. In fact.
i strive to do this With all classes Of
swine. I sort the hogs. as to size and
age and keep them in small pasture
lots. I let them run out all the time
as am d great believer in hogs hav-
ing plenty Of exercise. They must
have this to do well. I also plan to
feed them a variety Of stuff and to
feed regularly, believing that their
stomachs need attention just as we'll
as those of human beings.
Ny breeding sows are kept in a yard
by themselves. do not shut them
up until narrowing time approaches.
Sometimes keep them In a pen a
day or two beforehand. but l very
frequently permit them to run out
with the other sows. am convinced
that the SOW should be shut up by
herself and fed alone some time be-
fore and some days after narrowing.
After the pigs come the SOW should
not be fed very much for a few days
else the pigs will scour and some Of
them may die. After two or three
days the SOW should have her feed the
same as before narrowing. Provide
plenty of room for exercise ut all
times for the SOW as well MS the pigs.
When the pigs are Il month or so old
they will eat a little corr and a little
