ALBERT c. CUTLER
IS GREAT PLAYER
FAMOUS CUE ARTIST GOT HIS
START AND AS BILLIARDIST
IN BOSTON

Albert q. Cutter. the Yankee BILL
HARDEST, began his career as a cue
wetlder in Boston. He started at It
early In life and may be said TO have
grown up with the game. Although
he is still a young man he has been
before the public as professional
for number OF years
When Cutler started at the game
he did little else than play IL. Prac-
1caNy all OF his time was spent
around the green cloth-covered tables
and his energetic application to the
pastime won for him In Boston the
title Of tho Boston Bulldog. He
seemed never to know when to quit.
Cutler sprang into immediate fame
in New York several years ago when
he won what was known as she
"shortstop" Championship, This tour
nament was a kind of eliminated af-
fair, In which the best players of
the world contested at the 1879 style
Of game. Cutters victory was SO de-
cided that he was recognized at once
as ons Of the foremost stars 81 bill
lizards. Ono month later he played
Jake Sch~efer at Horticultural Hall,
Philadelphia Schaefer made a run
OF 2es, winning the matcs1 when Cut
lsr was within fourteen points OF the
coveted goal Schaefer always said
thereafter TINT the game against Cut
Ter was the hardest Of his long ca
reer
Spectacular Player.
Cutler ls one of the most spectac-
ular players that the game has pro-
duced He plays with wonderful skill
and Is graceful and easy In his me-
thods The rapidity and the ease
with which ne executes tho most Diff
ficult shots is marvellous, and 1t is
doubtful whether he has an equal as
fancy player. 1t Is due to the fact
that Cutler has been prominent on
t.he vaudeville stage for several years
with a billiard act that is both
unique and original
The greatest disappointment Of Cut
ler's career was his failure to win
the tournament at addison Square
Garden for the 1872 title. All of the
foremost billiard players of the coun-
| try were entered In this big event
and Cutler shortly before rad been
| performing sensationally He was
| looked upon as certain winner
! A severe illness not onlv prevented
him from doing the proper amour,
of practice. but kept him confined tC
his room until tsae day before the
tournament was to begin. His friends
were surprised when he made the at.
tempt His play was remarkable. but
fell short of the marvellous work OF
young Demarest.

The tenets of Odd Fellowship IN

Following is the resolution pre-
sented and adopted by the lodge:
whereas, A great war, now IN
progress in Europe is causing an IN
paraIleled sacrifice of life and prop
erty In direct violation OF the teach-
ing of the Master, and
1--WE, as Odd Fellows. a fraternai

Therefore, Be it resolved, That
we request the president, the con-

seem best to curb and control the
spirit of militarism now so VIDE

And be it resolved. That as an

wheat offerings were plentiful through

natural result, prices tended toward
lower levels, despite constant reports
OF heavy damage to crops by insects
One of the factors in this tendency
were the cold and rain which were
thought to have put the insect Dug
bear to rout Still another weakening
factor was the belief that ltaiy en-
trance into the war would mean De-
ter chances Of forcing the Dardaneiles
and thereby letting out for European
contamination that vast Russian sur
niue SO frequently mentioned wheh
tho allies first began bombarding the
straits. Yesterday, however, reports
of investigators regarding crop &c
strr1ction by pests were received IN
detail and the market Immediately
strengthened. Prices today closed

was Is down. uo
Today's closing prices on corn were

than they were a week ago. Septeh'
