the United States had. and already

capita than the United States ever
dreamed Of.
Verbatim from Mr.. Nields' speech I
shall continues: George Washington
accepted $4,000 acres OF land In Ohio
for his services in tho Indian War and
n cash payment OF 400 pounds FOR his
services and losses In Braddock's
campaign, but declined to accept any
payment after the Revolutionary
War. In 1894 Congress- voted General
Lafayette 100000 and lands In
Florida. Abraham Lincoln received
extra pay for his services in the Black
Hawk War" In one OF tho older
histories and Biographies Of Della
wareans l found reference to the "com-
mercialized' patriotism of General
John Daxsworthy, that hero of the
Revolution from Delaware. 1t seems
that after tho fall of Fort DuQuexne
the Maryland State Assembly voted
his regiment. OF which no was lieu
tenant colonel. 1900 pounds as n token
OF the States gratitude. Of this sum
maindcr was distributed in proper
Tomato amounts among the rest OF
the unit. Later tho Maryland Assem-.
bly, voted him Il tract OF land com.
prising 2o.3s3 acres, at that time cup
posed TO be In the State OF Maryland
Ii was later found to be within tn,
boundaries OF Delaware. Mr.. Nield,
infers that the ex-eervice man
sorely lacking In patriotism when h,
asks for and accepts any sort OF re-
Enumeration from the government To-
his services outside OF the actua
necessities OF life. II this DO so, the,

many other OF our national and Stat
heroes have cheapened their patrio,
ism by the same thing that he accuse

such az he one who presents his ArKu-

l beg to submit these arguments to
everyone; not to the monied interests.
not the laboring classes, nor to any

yet return to this country in time tf play in the American open which 1t is hoped to stage earlier in the fu- ture. seasons, thus avoiding the sun- burst courses So common here in mid summer.
 The suggestion was referred to the Royal and Ancient club, the English governing body, which will discuss the idea at a meeting to be held in con junction with the British amateur championship to be played at Pres wick, May 9. In connection with the discussion of officers of the United States golf association have pointed out that should the British organiza- tion schedule the open in May it would conflict with the British amateur tour nament which has always been set for the same month.
 To obviate this it has been sug- gested that it might be feasible to change the amateur to a date late in June o1 early July thus pavink the way for the entry of number of Am erican under graduates and others abroad at that time Such rearrange- ment Of dates would encourage a much larger entry of American golfers in the British championships and also permit larger entry of English play CTS in the United States titular golf events the dates of which might be shifted to coincide with efforts to ar range for an annual pilgrimage of players from both shores.

Chicago, April 25.-Persistent selling on the part Of houses with eastern con nections resulted in a decided drop in wheat prices today and was accompanied by reports that private settlements had been effected on large contracts calling for delivery of wheat here during May The market closed unsettled at IA to 5 cents net lower with May at $40 7-S to 1.41 and Iulp $1.27 IA to L2T 3-s.

 DIVISION OF PURSES

New Haven. Conn.,, April 25-Thom- as E. Donohue of. New London mem Der of the Connecticut Athletic com mission which regulates boxing in the state, announces that he will propose splitting the purse i nthe star bout so that the larger part will go to the winner.
 AS it is now he says, with both men getting a guarante amount, win or lose, there is no incentive to give their best. In my opinion promoters are forced to pay boxers more than they should. I would favor giving the star bout fighters not more than fifty per cent of net receipts, giving bout fighters not more than fifty per cent of net receipts, giving the winner six ty and the loser forty per cent. of the allotment
 Mir. Donohue also says he does not believe promoters get the protection they should. He will propose the plan at the next meeting of the commits sion.
 Boxing in Connecticut after years trial unde ra state commission did not attain the success which was pre- dicted for it. Sporting writers fail to agree on the cause of the slump in interest in the game.
