PIayinu Blackboard,

Do Eou know what blackboard is? It's 8 kind of a game first played in a primitive and mild sort of fashion by Rocky mountain goats and since mOdernized and made difficult by the American army. The apparatus on which one plays blackboard is a mixed breed contrivance, by Washboard out of Corduroy Road, to use the racing vernacular. It is made up of narrow, slippery strips of rounded wood laid crosswise about two inches apart, and is supposed to keep ones feet out of the mud. It does While playing duck board ones feet are usually in the air. It is called blackboard, suppose, be- cause of some silly belief that a duck could walk it without falling. Even airplanes flying tt a height of less than 5000 feet have been seen to wig gle and dip drunkenly while passing above trench lines fOOred with duck boards. And when it Is laid upon the surfaGA of the earth and there are no handy trench walls to help out-well, it's luGxy for Charley Chaplin that the wide Eorld didn't see me operate. NothinE could ever again be funny to a man who saw me play blackboard out there n the comparative open of that wood !--William Stevens McNutt, in Golfers Weekly.

UNITED THOUGH FAR APART
Ceremony Known as "Handschoen" Recognized Under the Dutch Law
 as Legal Form of Marriage.

Not so very long ago Boer in Pre- tOria was married to girl tn Amster- dam, Holland, thA ceremony constitut- ing what the Dctch call handschOen, or glove marriage.
 In spite of the fact that a distance of 6,000 miles lay between the bride in the Netherlands and the bridegroom In the Transvaal they were just as ef fectively married under the Dutch law as if both had been present in the same church.
 The bridegroom sent to his friend, or best man, in Amsterdam a power Of attorney to represent him as his proxy at the ceremony, and at the same time forwarded his glove, which at the proper moment, when the two were made one, was held by both the bride and the proxy. The wedding was duly registered at Amsterdam and at Pretoria, where the bridegroom filed an affidavit with the proper mag istrRte.
 This curious form of marriage Is a purely Dutch institution, the custom having originated, 1t is said, in the old times Of Dutch-Batavian rule. It is, however, a dead letter in the Trans vaaI since the English took over that colony

DUBLIN B00TBLACKS IN 178O
bnatlon of LampbIack and Rotten Eggs.

Among the populace of Dublin in 17S0 the shoeblacks were a numerous and formidable body. The polish they used was lampblack and eggs, for which they purchased all that were rotten in the markets. Their imple- ments consisted of three-legged stool, a basket containing a blunt knife, called spudd, a painters brush and an old wig.
 A gentleman usually went out in the morning with dirty boots or shoes, sure to find a shoeblack sitting on his stool at the corner of the street. The gentleman put his foot in the lap of the shoeblack without ceremony, and the artist scraped it with his spudd, wiped it with his wig and then laid on his composition as thick as black paint with his painters brush.
 The stuff dried with a rich polish, re- quiring no friction, and little inferior to the elaborated modern fluids, save only the intolerable 9dors exhaled from eggs In high state of putridtty, and which filled any house which was en- tered before the composition was quite dry, and sometimes even tainted the air of fashionable drawing roOmS.- University Magazine.

in the building used hand srenades and the radicals were driven away.
 There was another affray at the corner of Leipzigerstrasse and Wil- helmstrasse when the Spartacans fired on small group of government sol- diers. The government forces re- turned the fire and then disarmed the Spartacans after one man had been killed and several wounded. There was desultory shooting at other points but the casualties are not known.
 Berlin, Monday, Jan 6, 1 D. m.--- (By the Associated Pres)-.The government feels tonight that it has the situation firmly in hand" was the statement made to the correspondent at o'clock tonight at the ChanceI- lor's palace, where the members of the government have been in session throughout the day. Most tense ex- citement marked the day, which end ed in short but sharp fighting in front of the palace shortly after o'clock.
 The Spartacans approached the government troops guarding the pal ace carrying white flag, announced that the palace was surrounded and demanded its surrender. The de- mand was refused. The Spartacans then opened fire. killing three gov ernment soldiers and wounding ~ev- eral. The fire was returned and 20 of Liebknecht's folIowers were killed and a large number wounded. The Spartacans made several minor at tempts within the next hour to ap- rroach the palace, but were driven off

CALLED FOR QUICK THINKING
Skipper of Burning sh!r, With Cargo of High Explosives, In No Posi-
 ton to Hesitate.

The Cephalonia was deeply loaded filled with T. N. T. for the Italian army, writes R. D. CrOpley in the At lantic. She was we'll in the midst of the convoy proceeding down the Thames, and had just passed beyond the submarine net, when thin pencil of smoke was seen to rise from the corner of No. 1 hatch. It happened to catch the third officers eye first, and he called Sammy's attention to it. In two shakes Sammy had sounded four blasts on the siren, and a flag fluttered from the yard-arm, which caused all other ships to give him wide berth, as the propeller of the Cephalonia churned up the sea in her frantic effort to back and turn as if to return to London. A ship on fire should return to port, but Sammy, with & cargo of T. N. T, wasn't the kind of a skipper to risk blowing cottages and fort to save his own skin. No; he turned the Cephalonia till her stern was head to the breeze, and slowly kept her backing seaward to restrain the fire, if possible, from spreading aft to his chambers of T. N. T.; backed her away from port and other ships, so that, if she did blow up, the military loss would be confined to the Cephalonia alone. And all the while he was wondering what moment a U- boat would pop up and send torpedo into him, or he would strike a drift ing mine.

THREE FTREMEN
 FACE CHARGES

Three members of the Bridgeport Fire Department will face charges preferred against them by Fire Chief Daniel E Johnson, at the next meet ing of the Fire Commissioners.
 Richard Elwood, 8 hoseman of Chemical No. 2, is at the present time under suspension, and is charged with missing an alarm during his hours of duty.
 Charles J. Fully, another member of the fire department, will probably be suspended as soon as he can be To- cated by Chief Johnson, for being aib- sent without leave. Fully, who rooms at S6 Liberty street, has been away from duty for three days without per- mission.
 The third man who will face charges Is William F. Foley, a ladderman of Truck No. 8, who was on watch on the night of December 24, and called an alarm from box 535 when he should have called 1t from box 434 when the alarm was sounded.

MARSHAL HAIC
 PRAISES F0CH

London, Tuesday, Jan. - Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, whose re- port on operations from the end of April until the end of hostilities was made public here tonight, pays high tribute to Marshal Foch, com mander-in-chief of the Allied armies, and alludes to the splendid fighting qualities of the American forces"
 The report takes up in detail the fighting on various parts of the Brit ish front which, the field marshal states, was carried on as a part of the grand plan of the campaign laid down by the Allied high command. At the close of operations, the report declares:
 Tn the decisive contests in the period covered by the report the strongest and most vital parts of the cnemy's front were attacked, his lat eral communications were cut and his best divisions were fought to a standst1ll. On the different battle fronts, the British took 187,OOO pris- oners and 2,850 guns, bringing the total number of prisoners captured during the year to over POI, ,060 These results were achieved by 59 fighting British divisions, which in the course of the three months bat tie engaged and defeated 99 separate German divisions.
 When the armistice was signed by the enemy, his defensive powers had already been definitely destroyed. Continuance of hostilities would have meant only disaster to the German armies and an armed invasion of Ger many"

DETERMINATION
 WITH CONGRESS
That Body Should Make
 Decision on Railroads.

Washington, Jan. S-Congress, and not the president, should determine when the railroads are to be turned back to private management, said h. terstate Commerce Commissioner Ed gar E. Clark today, continuing his testimony before the Senate Inter state Commerce Committee, at the hearing on railroad legislation. Yes esterday he submitted statement from the commission recommending private opera ton of the carriers un- der stricter government supervision.
 ITO state 1t bluntly," added MT Clark, 'I think congress ought to withdraw from the president the pow CT to turn back the roads on an hours notice, and congress itself ought to determine when this shall be-
 Senator Mclean of Connecticut pointed out that legislation to revoke the presidents power to immediately turn back the properties would be difficult to get through congress, en- phasizing the possibility of an execu- tive veto. Also, Senator Mclean said, the administration apparently has engaged in propaganda" in be- } sion program,
 Senator Mclean questioned MT Clark concerning the effect of gov- ernment operation of good roads that have gone wrong like the New Haven" many stockholders of the New Haven, said Senator Mclean, had written him, urging government own ership, believing their stock would be redeemed theSeby,
 MT. Clark saSd if the government should acquire the property it would pay something like the real value"
 Then you think that if the gov ernment were to buy this road" ques- toned Senator Mclean, there would be not much equity for the stock holders?"
 That Is my impression" replied MT, Clark.
