While there will be quite general re
greet that Richard 0lney, prominent cab
met member during the Cleveland adj
ministration and one of the leading Dem.
ocrats of the country, has found it nee
essary to decline the prefer of the post
OF ambassador to Great Britain, most
people will recognize the reasonableness
of Mr.. 0lney's motive in declining and
be content. And in accepting the 0lney
declination with equanimity, they will
hope that President Wilson will delay
further choice until he shall find per-
son as well fitted as Mr.. Olney and with
less years to handicap him. The post
of ambassador to the court Of st. James
is one Of the most important which the
president has to fill, outside Of his cab

When Tom Ashworth and Emma
Treats engagement was announced

mean that either of them had been CON

Emma had been engaged half dozen
times not emerging from any Of her
betrothals with a clear record for hav-
ing treated her fance honorably. Not
that she thought she had treated him
dishonorably. 1t was simply that she
had no conscience In such matters.
One evening after she had become
engaged to Tom Ashworth and while
he was calling upon her she said:

who pens an epistle to the sporting
editor of The Argus. Can you inform
me as TO his whereabouts?
Hartmann issues a challenge to Ack-
erman for a straight match with a side
bet OF 500 or $l50 winner to take al
the gate receipts, which evidently is
ample proof of the fact that the Bur
lington mat artist does not believe Al
is the only apple in the orchard.
"Ackerman agreed 10 wrestle Hart
mann" continues the manager. and
in fact boosted that he could defeat
him three times in 90 minutes or for
feit 500. We stand ready to accept
this proposition any time and will post
500 or 5000 that he cannot beat Hart
mann three times in 90 minutes.
ut is quite evident that Mr. Acker-
mann is not anxious to meet Hartmann
so we will make him another propo-
sition. that of a straight match with

business and are anxious to know
whether Mr.. Alderman is of the same
