latest star battler to come
under the wing of Dan Salt,
Seattle boxing promoter, Is
q conner. He has made u good
impression with Tacoma
fans In the two matches
that he has appeared here
this season. Earl COnnOrs
will have a chance to do a
"cOme back" with Davidson
tonight.
Because the state military au-
thorities have been negligent in
making repairs to the Tacoma
armory, the boxing classes of
Professor Frank Carroll, physi-
cal instructor for the local state
militia, have not yet started
training. This means that Ia
coma will probably not be repre-
sented in the annual February
boxing tournament of the Pacis-
&c Northwest Athletic associa-
ton, unless raw material is
chosen from the armory ranks.
1t is more than likely that the
local organization-the Armory
Athletic association--will drop
out of the Northwest organiza-
ton.
There is almost as much
interest tonight in the
Sammy Good-JOe Hennes-
sey match as in the main
event. The Tacoma boy is
more than anxious to defeat
his Olympia rival. At the
last Eagles smoker Nov. II,
the crowd was with Hennes-
sey strong, and Missed Good
when the referee gave him
decision. Good says that
tonight he will beat Hem
nessey so badly that the
crowd won't have any chance
to kick.
Young Diggins was knocked
down three times in the first AZ
minutes of his match at Phila-
delphia last night with Johnny
Ertle, clinging to the canvas the
last time. 1t was to have beer
six-round go.
Billy Weeks, the VAN
cOuver fireman, has signed
for six-round match with
Jack Barres before the Citi-
zens' Athletic club of Vader,
at a smoker to be staged

Herr Ridder Excited.
Ansonia Sentinel.

That eminent and highly excitable hyphenated citizen, Herr Ridder, of the Staats-Zeitung, is amazed and mortified not to sSS- nauseated, by the spectacle of Lord Reading, of the Anglo-French commission sitting by the side of members of the supreme court and being courteously received by them. He regards the act as clear case of lese majestic against the kaiser and, if he had his way, would imm ediately impeach the supreme court because they have been decent 1y polite to a visitor from perfdious Albion.
 But the country refuses I be dis turbed because we have suitably en- tertained a distinguished British visi- tor. It does not regard his presence as any more of an offense to neutral ity than was the presence of Dr. Dernburg, while he controlled his tongue, or any of the other multitude of Germanic visitors, who have been here off and on during the war. Herr Ridder might gain some valuable in formation on how to act from the fact that Lord Reading, like other British guests of the country, has pre- served an nimpeachable discretion during his stay here. He has not striven to interfere in our domestic affairs. He has not preached the hateful doctrine of a divided nation- ability. He has not tried to forge our passports nor has he stage managed any plans for the destruction of mu- milton factories nor the bombing of passenger ships. He has not even decried our president. He has not intimated, as has the genial military attache for Germany, that the peo pie of America are next door to idiots.
 No wonder that Herr Ridder is dis appointed in him. No wonder he protests against his proximity to the supreme court. He has none of the pleasant Teutonic virtues. He does not meddle, nor scold nor rant against the United States, it's people and it's customs. From the viewpoint of Herr Ridder he should be executed or at the very lest d2ported. His lack of the essentials of kultur makes his presence here a crime. And the fact that he has accomplished the placing of a loan, where Germany tried in vain to garner a financial harvest, has | added insult to injury.

No Ananias Club.
Berkshire Eagle. )

Woodrow Wilson is in ' his third year as president and since he began he has called no man a liar, but has ruled rather by the exercize of dis erection and peaceful speech. It has actually been necessary for his com- mentators to read into some of his sentences the firmness which in their original form, they seemed to lack and to bring out their significance by the use of black type. How grateful the nation must be to have MT. Roosevelt in private life!
 Wall street today is confronted with the spectre of a panic. Those who have bought wisely and well will live through it. Those who have not will be caught in the whirlwind.
 The history of all such movements is the same, from the bursting of the South Sea Bubble to the difficulties of 1907. But after the speculative hys- teria has run it's course commercial America will doubtless go forward upon a higher level than it has ever gone before. That is the encouraging thing about the new market. The dis couraging thing is that we must tum- ble from an insecure height to an un- natural depth before we arrive at the level of sane progress.
 Is there a chance for the investor to make money in the present mar ket? Yes?, if he buys outright a sound industrial stock, one that will give him a fair return on his money If it goes up he may sell with profit | If it goes down he can put it in his | safe and collect his dividends. But if he intends to beat the game" by indiscriminate gambling let him look for his answer in the pages of finan l cia1 history-Dana Burneli.

SAGE AND SULPHUR
 DARKENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this through faded, Hfeless locks and they become dark,
 glossy, youthful.

Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beau tiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mix ture by asking at any drug store for a 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. Besides, it takes off dand- ruff, stops scalp itching and falling hair. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what de- lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beauti- fully, darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an ap- pearance of abundance.

STENOGRAPHIC BEAUTY.

Kansas has introduced an innova- l tion in it's state civil service exam | tnation for the position of stenog- l rapher. The rules of the commission show that thirty per cent. of the grade will be given to a girl on her personal appearance and demeanor. The ability to take shorthand notes and transcribe them on a typewriter at reasonable rate of speed will count fifty per cent
 The other twenty per cent will be made up if the applicant displays slight knowledge of grammar, orthog- raphy and penmanship.
 On the face of it, this new law seems to set up good chance for beauty doctors to invade Kansas for a girl could be perfect in all the other requirements and should she fall
 down on her good looks, the position
 of stenographer would not be hers.
 Her hair, not tricked in the latest
 coiffure, would easily, count her out
 of the running; a shoe run over at the
 heel might trip her, or, mayhap, a
 goodly sprinkling of freckles on the
 nose, might easily make her persona non grata to the examination clerk
 Granted that beauty is to play such a part in the lives of Kansas stenog- raphers of the future, why not abol- ish the ability tests? If these stenog- raphers are to be used for ornamental
 rather than useful Purposes, why not I do the thing right? Why should a
 beautiful, princess of the types" know 1 anything about reading, and writing, l and rithmetic? A thing of beauty is a | joy forever, and if the beast who dic- | tates his letters is to have around him | beauty who is to take said dictation, l then beauty should be given free rein, 1 or reign. So, if Connecticut ever l thinks of following the lead set by 1 Kansas, we humbly submit that the 1 eligibility for stenographers be con- l fined to the beauty side, the other ac- comp1ishments to be counted nil and
 void. Any way, who wants a stenog-
 rapher who has seen better days?

WHAT OTHERS SAY
Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to the Herald Office.
What Our Chemists Can Do.
(Omaha Bee.)

Recent events have taught Ameri- cans modesty, if not humility, when it comes to talking about war Tho cultured nations of Europe have shown us such wonderful ways of ob- literating whole armies, of over Whelming crowded cities and demol- ishing stately vessels, that We have lost some of our national cockiness. However, here comes some sustenance for our self-respect, direct from a meeting of chemists at San Francisco. In closing the session of a gas con- gross one of the experts pointed out that anything the Europeans may have achieved is also possible for the Americans. Nay, more; he said that oy the time war could me declared on us, and the fighting actually con- menced, some of the processes now being exploited, such as the use Of Chlorine gas, would be obsolete. ln- stead of that crude, coarse, method or asphyxiating soldiers, We may have our choice between arsenturetted hy- drogen plain or com bined with hy- drocyanic acid, the effect of which would be to do away with any in- Vadlng force as completely as he army of Sennacherib when the Death Angel breathed in the face of the foe as he passed"
 Thus is the genius of American science and the fruits of America n research brought to the relief of any apprehe ions that might have been slowly consuming the over-anxio us public.

Two Indiana Men.

(From the Philadelphia Inquirer.)
 While James Whitcomb Riley was being honored last week the residents Of Liberty, in the same State, were unveiling a tablet to the memory of Joaquin Miller who was also a na- tive of Indiana.
 The grand old man of the noun tains,' as he was called, was never very well understood by his fellow countrymen, and comparatively few persons, if asked unexpectedly could say whether he is dead or alive. Many have heard of his, home in the tree tops of California, but his fame came to him when he visited England. The stories concerning the red-shirted and hairy man who stood before Kings give him more notoriety than ever came from his poetry.
 He was christened Cinc1nnatus Heine Miller and was the son of a farmer who emigrated from Kentucky to Indiana. He was a pioneer and a lover of nature, and. appropriately enough, the monument to him is a great boulder taken from the farm on which he was said to have been torn. His verse was rugged and had the flavor of the mountains. His 1 1ccognition first came from abroad, but this memorial proves that poet like a prophet is really sometimes re- me mbered at home Ee

STATE SUFFRAGISTS
 HOLD CONVENTION
Sixth Annual Session Opened At
 Unity Hall, Hartford

Hartford, Conn, Oct 19.-Cam- paigning for woman's suffrage in New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts kept many well known advocates Of equal suffrage from attending he sixth annual convention of the Con- necticut association which began in Unity hall, today. The delegate body represented the membership of seven ty-seven affiliated leagues. Addition al delegates were constantly arriving as the sessions will not end until Thursday noon.
 Mrs. Thomas N. Hepburn, the pres ident, welcomed the delegates at tho opening. Her address was brief and to the point She said that many of the states best workers were aiding the work in neigh boring states. She said that 1t was a momentous oc- casion when the men of New Jersey were to decide today whether or not women should have the right to vote in that state. She added that the i'm portance of this was that men had right to make the decision, yet wom- en had not been consulted and could not make their desires known in a way which would be effective. The Connecticut workers also are giving their time to the campaign in Ne " York and Massachusetts where the vote will be boiled on November End.
 Women of Generation.
 Mrs. Hepburn, speaking upon the general topic of equal suffrage, said it was an inspiration to speak to suffrage workers because the suffragists were the women of this generation who not only realize that the woman's point of view is vitally needed in the outside world but who are ready to give time and money to take this step in human progress. People are ready to say that woman's suffrage is sure to come but they do not realize that it can only come as every other reform has come, because some people have had inspirations enough to make the sacrifice neces- sary to bring it to pass. Mrs. Hep burn said: We take it for granted religious freedom and political fres- dom for men but those who secured 10th dared to go to war with one of tho greatest nations on the earth to obtain it. The early woman who se- cured for women the right to an edu- cation, the right to own property, tn @ right to their own children were os- tracked by men and women of their

AutOists' Spending Habits.
(New York Evening Post.

(New York Evening Post.)
 No simple American summer hotel, according to Punch, dreams of having less than two bath rooms for each bedroom; and so luxurious have va cationists made us that fresh country milk, eggs, and vegetables are sup piled to the inhabitants of the remot- est rural districts. A novel complaint comes from New Hampshire. It has been discovered that the procession of summer pleasure seekers, whose life is an apparent round of amuse- ment and spending, has a disintegrat- ing effort on the morale of the na- tive youth. Any student of village and farm life, it is contended, will testify that the recurring spectacle of motorists signing jaunty checks de- stroys for the young people all the merit of toll and thrift. It is safe to assert that this is the first time that the spending and the leisure of the summer visitors, with all their pecuniary advantages to the natives, have been seriously objected to. That there is something in it we do not deny. But would the New Hamp- shire journal hardly recommend that all the States innkeepers, garage own CTS, and produce vendors unite in | urging tourists to be economical? We think, too, that a beneficial as well as an evil social effect could be seen in the mingling of the city sojourners with the permanent population. The progressiveness of New Hampshire | has undoubtedly been furthered by the multitudes of visitors that yearly penetrate her hills.
