 ''The CT ntest was very successful from both financial and advertising standpoint said J. E. Simon, manager of the Best theater, last night. After the votes had been counted and the winners declared, MT. Molter, who had charge of the contest said: "lt was the closest race of many contests. Many of the contestants worked up until the last minute, and my only regret is that there were not prizes enough for all" The theater was taxed to it's capac- ity last night and interest was at fever heat. The friends of the contestants waited until the count had been made and hoped for success for their partl- cular candidate. Those who were for tunate enough to be winners were con- graduated upon their success by the losers.
 Miss Steeds friends think she is de- serving of special praise because, they say, she made her campaign unasslst- ed and that it is due entirely to her own efforts that she landed the first prize.

Caused By The Explosion OF
A Night Lamp In Home
of A. B. Scott.

Sunday night about 1 o'clock the
house on East 18th street owned and
occupied by A. B. Scott, caught on
fire and was practically destroyed by
the flames.
The confagration was started by
the explosion of lamp in the child
ren's room. Mr.. Scott saw the
smoke coming into his room from
the room in which the fire started
and lost no time in getting his child
rem out Of the house. The fire was
well under way before the alarm
could be turned in.
The house, the value of which was
estimated at about 81 800, was total
ly destroyed. Mr.. Scott had about
81 900 insurance on the house. The
contents of the house, which were
insured to the amount of $500, were
only partially injured.

Filson Young admits that it is no

sons to send typewritten letters which
may not treat Of business. But there
is a piece of laziness which should
not be tolerated, and that is the sign

rubber stamp purpOrting to give fac

dividual in the communication to
the vanishing point. There is nothing
to show that your correspondent has

they entirely lose sight of the duty
they owe to that inmate of the
home, without which earth would be
dreary place indeed and home
could never be home. They gush a
little over US when they want wife
or an hour in our societs, but gen.
uire kindness for their companion,
generally speaking. is not in their
composition. or else the iniquities
that bear down so hard on women
would not exist. rhe Righteousness
that exalts a nation would not be
among the'lost arts, as it appears to
be to-day, if the lords of creatioa
showed forth more fidelity for her

to be queen of the home. Trampls
the wife into the dust; steep her in
poverty; make of her a mere newer
of wood ard drawer of water break
her spirit and humble her pride
until she no longer has ambition to
dress and look well; make the home
as dull and tiresome as the days
grow long and dreary, and then
what? Not the present form of

acter are fit to govern themselves.

DREAMED
1T WAS GOOD
Old'Bill at Admission, Alabama,
Was Found Worth
While.

As the result of dream which
she had Friday night. Miss Nancy
White, 81 years of age, who lives,
near Admission. Aa., is several hum
dred dollars richer than she was when
she retired Friday night.
Miss White dreamed that an old
bill, which has been in her possession
for eighty years, was very valuable.
1t was given to her when she was a
child by relative, who thought it
valueless. and was keeping it merely
as a curio, and had forgotten that
she had it. Saturday morning she
told j. D. Dale. neighbor, about the
dream and showed him the old yellow
piece of paper. Mr.. Dale at once
recogniz ed its value and brought it
to the city, and was told by local
banker that it was very valuable,
being worth about five times its face
value.
The bill was print ID in 1779 a d
bears the stamp Of the United States
government, which was then in its
infancy. On one side it recites. "The
bearer is entiil ID to receive six y-fve
Spanish milled dollars or an equal
sum in gold or silver. according to
the resolution of congress on the
14.h day of January. 1779." The
,paper is well.preserved and is about
n large ss one-half of a do lar bill.

HON. EDDIE sANTRY, ss TODAY, ONE OF MANY
 BOXER LEGISLATORS

Hon. Edward M. Santry, who was elected last month to the Illinois Leg islature from a Chicago district will be the recipient of the congratula- tiOns of his many friends today on the occasion of his thirty-e1ghth bfrthday The Hon. Edward, by the way. is the same old Eddie Santry who used to figure on the sporting pages as one of Americas greatest fea&hervFeights In fact. Eddie was at one time the cham sp1on of that division. although there was g. cloud on his title, and he didn't remain long on the topInost rung of the featherweight ladder.
 Eddie's election to the legislature is by no means the first instance in which an ex-pugilist has become statesman. The Hon. Marty McCue, another great featherweight, entered the political arena. after cutting the 1 ring, and last month was elected to the New York Legislature for his tenth successive term. Marty was square fighter, and as politician he has been Just as honest. He has put up several great scraps at Albany in behalf of the fistic game at times when the knockers were busy, and when he gets up to speak in defense of the great sport he always scores a knockout It is to be hoped that the Hon. Eddie will do as well in Illinois, and he has promised to push g. boxing bill which will give the game the same :. standing in that State as it now en- : joys in New York and Wisconsin. AL though California has put the ban on the manly art" there will be a pro- fessiona1 boxer in the legislature at Sacramento, for Eddie Marron, the San Francisco boxer who quit the ring only a year or two ago, received the approval of the voters of his district.
 A year or two ago, during the course of aseentroversy over the sport, seven mem bers of the Massachusetts legislature admitted a fondness for that they had had professional ex- perience in the ring. Only one pro fessiona1 boxer has ever been elected to the United States Congress. That was John Morrissey, of Troy. N. Y., who was, heavyweight champion Of America in the soc Jim Dunn, whcs won the American championship by whipping Bill Davis, a, Californian, in Pike county, Pa, some fifty years ago. became prominent politician in Brooklyn. He was an amateur when he fought Davis, and retired from the ring immediately after copping the title. John Gully, who became the re- cognized champion of England a little more than a century ago, was later elected to Parliament.
 Eddie Santry, the latest addition to the lists of pugiIistic legislators, was born in Aurora, H., Dec. Il, 1876, and entered the ring in Chicago when he was eighteen. He was victorious in most of his early bouts, but in 1896 lost to Tommy White, the Board of Trade Pet He first fought for the featherweight title in 1897. when he lost to George Dixon in twenty rounds at New York. A little later Joe Bern stein got the decision over the same route. In 1898 he defeated Tommy Dixon in twenty rounds at Toronto, and put away Australian Billy Murphy at St. Loufs but lost again to George Dixon. The latter had previously been defeated by Solly Smith. of Los
