JESS WILLARD
 BREAKS WITH
 HIS MANAGER
Champion Informs Jones That He Will Look After His Own
 Affairs.

Champion Jess Willard has brok- en with Tom Jones, his manager. "Yes," said Jones on his arrival the other day at Buffalo, N. Y., eff Willard has his way 1 am out of a job. But, perhaps, not so far out as Jess might imagine"
 Jones Holds Contract.
 Jones declared that as his con- tract with Willard lasts until the middle of September he proposes to sign Willard for two matches, one with Carl Morris and the other with Fred Fulton and will see that Jess goes through with them or quits fighting.
 Confers with Jack Curley.
 Jones met Jack Curley and dis cussed the break with Willard. Willard told me-" said Tom later, that now that he was at the head of his own show, the cae he had just bought. he did not have any immediate need of a manager and that 1 could not do anything fur ther for him. I called his atten- tion to the fact that I had done a great deal already and that I had secured offer for fights, of $75,00O in one instance, and $78,000 in an other, offers which he had not de- cided upon favorably. It made nc difference. Jess wanted to split Jones and Curley both attribute the action of the champion to pc nuriousness.

It's Very Old, Anyway.

From the Somerset (Ky.) News.
Our old friend, Nose Holder. brought
to our Office this week an ancient lam

through the streets of Athens in search
Of an honest man. 1t is of a very GU

mixture of metals, the alloy of which
must be a lost art. In style II Is can
shaped, a la renaissance, and the top
is a cone, and the light is emitted by a
series of perforations that run in regu-
lar arrangement around the lantern. A
perforated door large enough to ad-
NIT the fingers furnishes access to
the interior, which Is occupied by q
candlestick. for the candle is the source
Of light. We are informed that in the
early pioneer days these cumbersome
objects were hung along the streets of
cities and villages. and furnished the
only light to the pathway of the deni-
zens who ventured forth at night. Mr.
Holder has been in possession Of the
lanter for over forty years. and back
through his family he can trace 1t for
one hundred and fifty years. 1t reached

PLANS FOR entertaining
ANTI-SALOON DELEGATES
Annual Convention of National Body
to Be Held in Washington
December 1913.

Extensive preparations are being made
for the entertainment of delegates to
the annual convention of the Anti-Sa-
loon League of America. which will be
held in this city December 1913. inclu-
sive. Delegates from every state in the
Union are expected to be in attendance
and. it is stated, more than ordinary
Importance is attached to this years
meeting. One reason is that it will be
the first time the organization is given
the pleasure of meeting in a dry Wash
ington, and another reason is that men,
bers are anxious to inaugurate a move
that will have for it's object the re-
lection of the plan to permit the sale of
light wines and beer.
Members OF the anti -sa.oon organization
hope they will be able to learn something
of the plans that the Brewers Of the
United States will make to gain votes
enough TO permit light wines and beer to
remain while whisky is relegated to a
place from where it may never emerge.
Representatives of the brewers in all sec
tions OF the United States assembled in
convention in Atlantic City this month.
and the anti-saloon people hope they
will make public their program. in order
that they may be able to meet them.
It Is said to be the intention of the
anti-saloon forces to offer strenuous
opposition to any move that has for its
object the continuance of the beer and
light wine traffic. Albert f. Shoemaker.
counsel for the local organization, says
some people may fall" for contin-
uance of the traffic, believing whisky is
the main thing to get rid of.
But" he added. the Anti-Saloon
League knows the harm that all intoxi-

against the continuance of any of

sidetracking the Classics.

From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
1t Is understood that pressure IL be-
ing brought to bear upon some Of the
smaller colleges and universities -
eliminate Latin and Greek from the en-
trance requirements. and to give the
study of the dead languages less I'm
portance in the curriculum. presumably
to give more time for scientific work.
Some of the faculties are very properly
marking time. and are endeavoring to
sound public sentiment, through some
processes Of referendum.
Notice may be taken Of the fact that
many students in college and university
are Inclined to chafe because so much
time is devoted to the study of the dead
languages. in both the preparatory and
college courses Naturally the COM
plant comes from students who are
preparing themselves for work In the
assuredly inviting field of applied sci
ence. Under these conditions much
responsibility is thrown upon the eduL
cational authorities who must make
the ultimate decision.
The question OF minimizing the frn-
portance of the classics in college
training depends largely upon the con-
struction placed upon the term train-
ing. II II means, as some old-fashion-
ed people will contend. preparing the
subject Of the training for the solus
ton of new problems. and for think
ing upon broad and comprehensive
lines. then some of the most efficient
scientists of this peculiarly scientiflc
era would regret the elimination OF
Latin and Greek, even in schools the
students of which purpose to enter ad-
vanced technical institutions.

and as the sheep were driven through
the farmer counted them, making g
