After spending thirty-three years in Alaslla farming and prospecting for gold, Alexander Smith came out of that land of midnight sun, to enter the service of the Y. NJ. C. A., and go 10 France, only to be disappointed in his quest. says the San Francisco Examiner Of November 24th.
 Smith has made his headquarters at the Stewart Hotel since his arrival in San Francisco, and when he has completed his first visit to California, he plans again to return to AlaSaka, where he declares the young man of America will find his greatest oppor- unity.
 He was prevented in entering the Y. NJ. (. A. service overseas because, although he has been resident of Naska, he iS British subject, hav- ing gone there from Scotland, so he ,ould not obtain the necessary pass ports.

This the wo men lived on or three weeks, fin lily getting down to nothing but the Iour which they made into sort of paste harnusp iN that por5inua" sec ion they couldn't get enough fire wood to even boil water.

FOR SPORTS.

The case of trousers vs. petticoats has been tried out in one court, and trousers have won. Woman may wear trousers when and where she pleases is the decree provided her occupation demands the bifurcated garment. Woman's war work, of course, has brought about her eman- cipation in the way of dress; and 90 comfortable and altogether desirable have trousers proved-so much more satisfactory than hampering petit coats for active pursuits-that wom- en will soon insist upon them for play as well as for work. That is for sport wear and various kinds of athletics.
 The riding suit and the hunting suit are already frankly trousered; the gym suit, the basketball suit and the camping suit are bloomered or knick- cred, and the skirt of the bathing suit is so short that its bifurcated un- dergarment is frankly revealed.
 And the wondrous thing is that mo- body makes any to-do about these skirtless costumes; very few people make any objection even to the new style which ten years ago would have raised an outcry of protest from coast to coast.

OF MRS.
 HOLT NOT DUE
 TO NEGLIGENCE

Coroner J. J. Phelan in a finding, this morning, generates Charles J. Mccarthy of Milford from criminal liability for the death of Mrs. Eliza beth Holt of TIC Noble avenue, struck by his automobile, the evening of No vemIber 25 last and almost instantly killed. The coroner held several hear ings and examined a large number of witnesses.
 Mrs. Holt with her daughter, Ger trude Holt Georgen, were hastening from Waldorf avenue across Fairfield avenue to board an east bound trolley car while Mccarthy was driving an automobile west in Fairfield avenue. Mrs. Georgen crossed safely, but Mo Carthy did not see Mrs. Holt, who was about 20 feet behind her mother, until to late to avoid striking her, al- though he made every effort to do so. Coroner Phelan finds that the au- tomobiIe was being driven about 20 miles an hour, that when the driver sighted Mrs. Georgen he slowed down but a shadow thrown from the head light hid Mrs. Holt from his view l When he did see her he swerved his
 machine to the right to avoid the col
 lision but was too late.
 | The stories of all who saw the ac-
 cident agreed upon the main facts Coroner Phelan finds there was nt
 negligence or criminal carelessness and that the death of Mrs. Holt was | accidental.

ANNIVERSARY
 OF THE DEATH OF
 CARDINAL RICHELIEU

Today is the 276th anniversary of the death of Cardinal Riche3ieu, the most celebrated statesman of his cen tury. Memorials to him have been erected in all parts of France, Paris having several of them.
 Armand du Plessis was the real name of the man who, during the reign of Louis XIII, was the real ruler of France. Crafty, strong minded, a soldier as well as a states man and a prelate, Cardinal Riche- lieu crushed with one hand the Huge nots at home, while with the other he humbled the house of Austria. Richeleu was the youngest son of a noble family of Patton, springing or iginally from the village of Richelieu. The family had at it's disposal the bishopric of Lucon and this was for time held by an elder son, while the future ohrdinal was a soldier. When his brother gave up his preferment at Lucon, Nmand abandoned the pro-
