Chicago has a new keystone king. and his name is John. No, Evers has not joined the "come back" class. The new King, John the Second, is none other than Johnny Farrell, the clever little second sacker who is creating a sensation in the Federal league.
 When Joe Tinker jumped last win ter and took charge of the Chicago Federal league club he did not have to look far for a second baseman. He gave Farrell's record the once over and was quick to make a decision.
 Joe's judgment was good, for Far rell has proved the wonder of the league, and there is not another in- fielder in the league, veterans includ- ed, who has anything on the Chicago lad.

ARE NOT SLAVES OF FASHION
In China Man Can Dress as He
 Pleases Without Attracting Attention.

The fashions in Suchien, Kiangsu province, have a variety of such extent that every man can dress according to his individual choice and still be in correct taste and without attracting special attention from anybody else.
 In other words, the styles this year are of personal ideals, according to correspondent of the British China Daily Herald.
 He says that every man wears what is right in his own eyes, and there are few if any, to ridicule. A panama hat goes jauntily down the street, closely followed by Uncovered brim hat; felt hats of scarlet and verdigris green come along with grays and browns that do the natter credit for unique in- vention. These, with the Eskimo top capes, few derby hats and the smart military uniforms, give the streets a piquancy which was unknown in the monotonous china blue of former years.
 Among the notices posted on the city gate is a fashion plate that has been exhibited for weeks. It displays two or three of the typical western suits"-the swallow-tailed and the low front frock for evening wear-street garb of European and American style, and many other varieties. There one also finds the plaited skirts recom- mended for the women, and close by them Is the proud silk or stovepipe hat of felt, which has its special cornar with other headeear.

WORST HORSE IN THE WORLD

Prizes Offered at Cheyenne Frontier
 Days Celebration.
 Cheyenne. Wyo.-The worst horse in the world will be identified during the Frontier days celebration which .is to be held in this city. August 18th, 18th, 20th and 21st Heretofore, at preceding Frontier days and other western celebrations, prizes have been offered for the worst horse," but at. the coming cowboy carnival at Chey- enne there will be conducted the first out-and-out contest exclusively for bad horses. In this the determination of relative degrees of equine cussed- ness will not be side issue in . rough riding contest, but will be the issue-in-chief of contest designated to identify the worst horse in tho world and for no other end.
 Only in the West does value at- tach to a bad horse. elsewhere such an animal is worse than valueleSs. But in the west-the land of tho broncho and those dauntless riders who subjugate the outlaw strain in the broncho's temperament = the worse a horses disposition the higher his value.
 Bad buckers here attain fame that spreads through many states and "outlaws" which defy continuously and successfully all efforts to break their spirit are property of great val ue. Noted riders will travel hundreds of miles to try conclusions with such horses as Stemler Bay, Old Steam boat, Senator Warren, Rocking Chair. and others of their kind; thousands of dollars have been wagered on con tests between such animals and cow boys who believe they possess the skill and strength to break them.
 In the worst horse" contest. owners of outlaw bronchos will enter their animals and provide riders for them. The cowboys doing the riding will be required to observe the same rules as govern the championship broncho busting contest, but judging will not be of the merits of the rider. but of the strength, cunning and wickedness of the horses. Inasmuch as 1t is expected that the worst horse In every state in which the broncho thrives will be entered it well may be said that the result of the contest will be identification of the worst horse in the world.

 The answers of the international peace committee and congress of the United Republics of America were identical in wording, and were duly cabled to all the rebelling monarchs.
 Neither the peace committee nor congress gave thought to consenting to the wishes of the decree of the Flu ropean rulers, and 1t is quite likely that the prompt refusal to accede to their demands was not unexpected, for the Count von Werdenstein rubbed his hands contentedly when he read the first dispatch.
