publica applause. Mr. Richardson clone . I the debate for the minority. Inebi.ng so he offered to yield half his time to any one nn the Republican i I who carei to onuose the adoption of the ruh. He paused when he had made the offer, hut no Re publican rose. Smiling face looked over at hirn from across the aisle. "So gentleman 01. that side is oppo.-i d to this rule." Faid he. sarcastically. "With your majority i f forty it will be very easy thrn to adoj.t it, but is it not trar.ge that with such a majority such a rul-j should be necessary?" lie insisted there were members on the other side who were native under the oemami of their constituents for a revision of ?om.: of th' tariff schedules and that they wcaild have hard work explaining their action. The gentleman from Wis eonidn'iMr. Rabcock). he declared, could r.ot go back to hi constituents with the lame excuse he h-ul rdTt-red on the Moor. "This la h!. lust opportunity." said he. "and th gentleman knows It. There will be no other opportunity to Rive his people relief, and if he tries to explain his course, 1H one of his constituents ask him whyhe voted for this rule. In conclusion Mr. Richardson said that thoie on his side favored the repeal of the war taxes; in fact, that if they had their way they would have been repealed long- ago. DALZELL CLOSES DEBATE. Mr. DalzeJl closed the debate or. the rule. In view of the solicitude of the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Hay) and the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Ball) regarding the situation in the House, he said he would recur to some history. After calling attention to the fact that not a member on the other Fide had raised his voice against the adoption of the rule for the consideration of the Philippine tariff bill, a rule which be said was as drastic a.3 this one, he told how the Democrats In the Fifty-third Congress had swallowed Clj amendments to the Wilson tariff bl-l without even having them read in the- House. The dignity of the 3Iou.se and the legislation of the country, deed a red and I Republican applause, were safe in the hands of the Republican party. The previous question was then ordered, but Mr. Richardson thereupon offered a motion to recommit ihe rule, with instructors to report it back amended so as to pei the bill for amendment under the fiveminute rule. Mr. Dalzoll immediately made the p-oint that the motion was dilatory. Speaker Henderson and Mr. Richardson had a sharp exebarge over the point of order, which the speaker sustained. The speaker said a similar ruling had been made by Speaker Reed In the Flfty-lirst Congress, also by Speaker Orisfi. and, durInar the last Conws, by himself. "Rut subsequent to Speaker, Crisp's ruling Speaker Reed reversed the ruling, said Mr. Richardson. "I sustain the riding of Speaker Crisp," returned Speaker Henderson, smiling. Mr. Richardson thereupon appealed from the decision of the chair, and the speaker declined to hear arguments on the appeal, because the previous question had already been ordered. Mr. Dalzell moved to lay the appeal on the table. This motion was carried 115 to 12.5. Mr. Calderhead. of Kansas, voted with the Democrats against the motion to lay the appeal on the table, but there was no break on either side on the subsequent adciptlon of the rule Itself, which was carried lös to ll'O. I'pon the announcement of the vote, Mr. Tlichardson. th minority leader, sprang a surprise. Rising in his seat he said: "Mr. Speaker, I rise to make a request for unanimous consent. In view of the fact that we nre not permitted to amend the pending bill ard in view of the fact that two elays' debato is absolutely fruitless under this iide. ask unanimous consent that the bill be put upon Its passage now." Applause on be ith sides. Members looked at each other in amazement. Only a few of the IVmocrats had knowledge of the contemplated roup and rinne of tho Republicans had wind of it. The speaker put the request and raised his Rave!. "Is there, objection?" he asked. He ya.'tcd a moment. Not a sound was heard. "Tbe halr hears none." paid the speaker. Pf he brought hl3 gavel down with a "Whack. Then spontaneously from both sides the app:ause rang out.. At one moment ail debate was wiped out and the clerk, by direction of the speaker, read the bill. " The Vf-riial amendments were agreed to In pro. Mr. Payne, the majority leader, demanded the years and nays on the final passat? of the hill. The bill was passed unanimously, 27 members voting "yea." Th announcement of the result was apr lauded on both tides of the House. At :Ü0 p. m. the House adjourned. WORK OF THE Sr.VATK. CenUH, Hank Charter Eitenlon and Other Hill I'aMfil. WASHINGTON.

Office. The discussion related principally to the collection and publication by the oirector of the census of statistics res-pect-ir.K the production of cotton- Mr. Allison viicorou.iy opposed the provision, maintaining that the cotton stati tir gathered by the- Department ef Agriculture were complete, and accurate, and that no necessity existed for tlieir duplication. De-spite his eippoiition the provion was inserted in the bill. During the debate Mr. Culberson said that in November last the Agricultural Department issued an estimate of the cotton jroductlon of such a nature that the price of eeitton rose immediately 12 a bale. He thought that indicated a hick of accurate Information previous to that time. Mr. Allison repded that the reports issued by private concerns had estimated the cotton crop last year as much greater than it proved to be. Those reports had tended to keep prices down. He pointed out. however, that the Agricultural Department was first to give to the public accurate information concerning the production. Mr. Allison maintained that if the producers of cotton had elepende-d upon the rigures of the crop reported by the Agricultural Department they would not have be-en led into disposing of their cotton for a lower ligure than It actually was worth. Mr. Raeon Inquired of Mr. Allison whether he, repre-senting a corn State, realized more fully the importance of the proposed amendment to the cotton producers than all the senators from the cotton States. Mr. Allison replied that he might be regarded as In the position of the Juryman opposed to his eleven associates, but that he would be satisfied whatever the result might he. After further debate the bill, as amended, was passed. Several other bills of importance on the calendar were passed, as follows: To promote the efficiency of the revenue cutter service, the principal feature of the measure being provisions for the retirement of revenue cutter ollictrs; authorizing the secretary of the navy to give to Harvard University certain colors, a silver cup and a Nordenfeldt gun: providing for the appointment of W. H. Crawford as an assistant engineer of the navy on the retired list; authorizing the secretary of the navy to appoint George H. Paul a warrant machinist in the navy; providing for the retirement of petty officers and enlisted men of the navy; to provide for the extension of the charters of national banks. Mr. Aldrich, chairman of the llnance committee, explaining that the measure extended no new privileges to national banks, but simply enabled those whose charters were about to expire to renew them; authorizing the commissioner of Internal revenue to return bank cheeks, elrafts. certificates of deposits and orders for the payment of money having imprinted stamps thereon to the owners thereof; to place Henry Riederbick, J. R. Frederick, Francis Long and Maurice Connell. survivors of the Lady Franklin bay expedition, on the retired list of the army. The Senate then at 4:47 p. m. went Into executive session, and at 4:55 p. m. adjourned. CHINESE DIPLOMAT DEAD

ADOPTED BY CAUCUS

SUBSTITUT 1 1 FOR IIRPURSRXTATIVE t RUM PACKRR'S HRSOLUTIO.N. Speaker of the Hotine to 'Appoint n Committee to 1 11 veMtlsn to Southern RlectloH Method. GEN. DICK MAY BE CHAIRMAN II R IS MIT IX FAVOR OF ARBITRARY ACTION II V CONtJRCSS. Says the Disf rnnchlsement Question Hunt lie InventiKuted Fairly untl Thoroughly. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-The resolution of Representative Dick, of Ohio, providing for an investigation of the charges of the disfranchisement of the negro in the South, was unanimously adopted at the conference of House Republicans to-night, as was generally expected. General Dick probably will be chairman ot the committee, tho report of which body to Congress will form a base of the most important political legislation of Congress. There w as no opposition when General Dick offered his motion to amend the Crumpacker resolution, through whose efforts the first caucus was called. After the caucus to-night Representative Dick said that while Congress had constitutional power to act respecting Southern disfranchisement, that power ought not to be exercised arbitrarily but judicially. In so important and so farreaching a matter, he argued, the wiser course would be lirst to establish the facts, which can be done only with thorough Investigation. "While we all read and believe certain conditions exist in the Southern States," he said, "this House has no otiicial information with reference to the allegations of nullification of certain provisions of the federal Constitution. We already have gone too far to do less than make a judicial investigation. Such an Investigation, with the accompanying publication of its Undings, will educate the public sentiment and sustain us in what it may be desirable or advisable to do afterward. The clement of fairness, also, Is an argument in favor of investigation, because in this manner the Republican majority will not be proceeding on a mere assumption." CAL'C LS PR O C K K DIXGS. Substitute Resolution Adopted In the Absence of a ((uoram. WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. The Republican members of tho House of Representatives held a third caucus to-night to consider the question of Southern elections. The attendance was not as numerous as at former gatherings. Speaker Henderson not attending, and only eighty-six Republicans out of a total of 1.9 being present. This was short of a quorum, but the meeting proceeded with speedy and definite results, u resolution being adopted asking the House committee on rule3 to report a resolution for a special investigation committee of eleven members to consider questions relating to the disfranchisement of voters. Representative Cannon, of Illinois, occupied the chair, and, In the absence of Mr. Loudenslager, Itepresentatlve Tawney, of Minnesota, acted as secretary. It was agreed at the outset that the vote should be taken at 9 o'clock. Representative Dick, of Ohio, then presented the following resolution as a substitute for that of Mr. Crumpacker, heretofore introduced: "Resolved, That it is the sense of this caucus that the committee on rules report a resolution, as a substitute for those nowpending in said committee, providing in substance that a select committee be appointed by the speaker, consisting of eleven members, whose duty It shall be, and who shall hive power and authority to investigate and inquire into the validity of election laws and the manner of their enforcement in the several States, and whether the right to vote of male inhabitants of any of the States, twenty-one years of age, and being citizens of the United States, is denied or in any manner abridged, except for crime, and such committee shall report the result.of its investigation at as early a date as practicable." The debate was brief and entirely favorable to the adoption of the resolution. Mr. Dick supported it on the ground that it was simply a preliminary step wdth a view to ascertaining facts, leaving the question of remedy to be determined when the House was in jxissession of all the facts. Mr. Crumpacker concurred in this view, and readily accepted the resolution In lieu of the one ho had first introduced, which proposed not only an investigation, but also fixed the remedy, namely, a reduction of representation in Congress proportionate to the extent of disfranchisement. Mr. Grosvenor. of Ohio, closed the debate by a speech in support of the resolution. He pointed out that a this was a step merely to ascertain facts, there was no danger of creating the public Impression that the Republican party proposetl to enact any drastic legislation on the subject. The vote was then taken, and. without a dissenting voice, the resolution was agreed to. The caucus thereupon adjourned. It was stateel by members of the caucus that the unanimous action bv eighty-six members would undoubtedly be accepted by the committee on rules, notwithstanding tue absence eif a quorum, and it was pointed out by these members that the eightysix affirmative votes would have been a majority if a quorum had been present. It also was stated by those who had been most instrumental in framing the resolutions that the investigation could be conducted here in Washington, probably without any necessity of making personal Investigation in the South or elsewhere.

MOFPATT'S BAD LUCK. Ills Lame Mioulder Cotn Him n Fight with MlftTwo Small llrnv. CHICAGO, Feb. 17. An exact repetition of the accident that lost Jack Moffatt two tights with George Gardner brought defeat again to Motfatt to-night at the America Club, In a contest with Billy Stift. Wearing an elastic bandage on the left shoulder that had been dislocated on two similar occasions, MofTatt to-night landed some telling blows with his left without experiencing any ill effects, and apparently had the fight well In hand. He had taken things easy In the first round and contented himself with countering and dancing out of the way of Stift's wild swings. In the second MofTatt began to use his left a little and managed to reach Stift without any difficulty, scoring a big lead on the round. Thinking that his shoulder had fully recovered from the two former mishaps. Moffatt started the third round in earnest. He chased his opponent all over the ring and was administering a severe drubbing when in an effort to land a knockout he started a left for Stiffs jaw. The blow, sent with terrific force, landed on Stift's head instead. Instantly MofTatt's left arm dropped limp to his side. The referee stopped the light and Stift was awarded the decision. "Kid" Goodman, of Boston, and Al Fellows, of Chicago, fought six fast rounds to a draw. Fellows had a slight shade the better of the contest during the first three rounds, but in the last three Goodman used a straight left in connection with a right cross to such good advantage that Fellows had all he could do to last the limit. The decision was very unsatisfactory. Mike Schreck, of Cincinnati, and Hug-o Kelly, of Chicago, also went six rounds to a draw. Joe Guns AVon. PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 17. Joseph Gans, of Baltimore, had the better of the sixround bout with George IcFadden, of New York, to-night at the Penn Athletic Club. Both men fought hard from beginning to end. It was an even contest in the ilrstS:ound, but after that the Baltimore lad had matters practically his own way. He .had McFudden going in the second round, but the New Yorker recovered himself in the third round. Tbe Grip Ilet JefTrlea. NEW YORK, Feb. 17. James J. Jeffries, the champion heavyweight pugillst, is ill with the grip at a hotel In this city. He is being attended by a physician who said, to-day, that the pugilist was in fair condition and was getting along nicely. Later In the day Jeffries's etoctor said his patient was suffering from a severe cold, but would be well enough to be out again in a few days. Pneumonia was not threatening, he said. MUNCIE BEATS RICHMOND FIMl POLO GA3IK PLAY R II nCFOIlK THURM THOUSAND PERSON'S. Lend for the Championship Increased C. S. Norrls Wins Amateur Billiard Tourney at "evr York. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind.. Feb. 17. Three thousand polo enthusiasts were packed into the Auditorium to-night to witness the game by Richmond and Muncie. The home team Increased Its load in the Western championship race by wnning by the score of 10 to 5. Muncie's new goal tender, Cusick, arrived from Itostoii to-day and made a. line showing In the game, but Muncie's rushes, lllggin and Tarrant, did the work and could not be stopped, scoring all Muncie's goals on double passes across the tloor to the goal. Richmond's new Eastern player, Houghton, did well, but the whole team seemed outclassed. Richmond was delayed five miles from Muncie by a freight car wrecked on the C, R. Sc M., and a. special engine was sent out for the team, delaying the game thirty minutes. AVON" MY C. S. XORRIS. Billiard Championship In the Amateur Tourney nt N'evr York. NEW YORK, Feb. 17. The amateur billiard Class A championship of the A. A. U. tournament, which has been in progress during the last two weeks at the Knickerbocker Athletic Club, was won to-night by Charles S. Norris, of the K. A. C, who formerly was champion of the Chicago Athletic Association. His opponent was Willlam II. Sigourney, of San Francisco, the champion of the Pacific coast, and while the game was a long one, it never lacked Interest from start to nnish. At one time the Callfornlan was nearly a hundred points behind, but he closed up the game, with some wonderful all-around billlarels. and at the ttnish was only beaten by twenty-three points. Norris played a splendid game, and his nursing at times was equal to the best exhibitions ever given in this vicinity by professionals. Sigourney also was the recipient of many plaudits for some beautiful work in his manipulation of the Ivories. Norris's win entitles him to first place in the tournament, and Sigourney takes second honors, the other places being eieclded by the result of last week's games. Next Wednesday night Norris will meet Wilson I. Foks in a challenge game for the emblem and title of the national amateur billiard champion of America. Mr. Foss has only to successfully defentl tho championship trophy this year to have a clean claim to it, and. judging from the work of the victor to-night, it is not likely that Foss will lose the challenge contest. Following is to-night's score: Charles S. Norris, New York Total. 4on; average, 5 5-79; high runs. 33. 21, 21. Wilson H. Sigourney, San Francisco Total, 377; average, 4 high runs, 40. 3G, IS.

The Yale alumni of Boston held their annual dinner to-night with President Hadlcy as the guest of. honor. In his short address President Iladley referred to athletics, saying: "It has always seemed to me- that the very best thing about athletic contests was not their value in promoting physical exercises, nor their use as a training to the contestants, but their effect in bringing students and graduates, sons, fathers and graedfatht rs. into a common sympathy, which made them, on the field at least, part of a coherent community, with common interests and ideals."

When they are past that stage of usefulness they are put out of the way somehow, perhaps sent to San Francisco boarding houses, and a younger generation of rulers take their places. But for these half a million or hens the town would never have been what it now is, and the egg and poultry raising industry of Petaluma would never have hatched, so to speak, and reached its present immense proportions. The hens know it, and hence there is no spot in the place that is forbidden to them. They greet the visitor as he steps from the train, and they cluck at him as he departs. That is, if he doesn't stay and go in the poultry business in this favorable spot, which many finally do. Twenty-three years ago there were not more than a hundred or two chickens to be found in or around Petaluma. Now more eggs and poultry are shipped from that point than from all the other towns of the State combined, and the poultry ranches vary in size from a backyard to a hundred acres or more. No person having a scrap of land to spare Is without a Hock of hens. The few figures following make the egg business appear a very much more dignified occupation than it is popularly supposed to lie. The shipments frpm Petaluma last year were S.tiuo.wO dozel eggs, 30,0uo dozen of poultry. As high as H.ouO dozen eggs have been shlpjied out in one day from the Petaluma market alone. More than one-half of the eggs and poultry used In San Francisco yearly come from this town of brooders and incubators. For the motherly hen does not belong here, and it is as much as her life is worth to show any inclination to set. Petaluma's proud position as the egg center of the Pacific coast is not tho result of accident, but Is du to a combination, viz., right soil, cool summers and favorable location. Nearness to the San Francisco mar-v ket and the extremely low freight rates afforded by reason of the competition between water and rail transportation are other important factors In its development. FEEDING THE HENS. The poultry industry has been the means of making much otherwise worthless land much more valuable. The big Cotati rancho of ten thousand acres has recently been subdivided and sold out In small holdings. To drive through It now is to find a veritable poultry city. The white leghorn fowls, among the best layers known, are kept to nearly the entire exclusion of other breeds, for the egg business is really more promising here than the poultry side of the Industry. It isa pretty sight at tue feeding time of 6,CX or 7.O00 hens on a many-acred ranch. Perhaps the chicken houses, each with its near-by colony of 10O or 150 chickens, are scattered ov-; many acres, sometimes amidst the green of a foothill orchard. There is a rush and flutter of a living cloud of white as the man starts out from the feed house with horse and sled and makes the round of the tiers of houses, scattering feed and gathering the harvest of eggs as ho goes. The length of this trip varies, of course, with the amount of land occupied, but the feeding sled sometimes makes a circuit of a mile. The hens are prenerally fed only once a day, with the addition of a lunch of green feed at night. The sled is loaded with four barrels of water, live sacks of wheat and a mash composed of three sacks of coarse middlings and forty pounds of either cut green bone or ground fresh meat, which Is mixeel with skim milk that has been allowed to sour. On a big ranch it takes from C. a. ra. until 11 o'cloclc to complete the feeding and watering, and a sufficient quantity is put out to last twenty-four hours. Seventy-five hens are roosteel In each house, and the houses are built on runners. The colonies are from 400 to 5V) feet apart ami the hens being well supplied with feed are content and do not wander from one colony to another. EVERY FOWL KNOWS ITS NEST. An interesting feature of this open colony system is that each fowl knows and goes to, unerringly. Its own particular colony house for roosting at night. No man is considered a professional poultry raiser about Petaluma unless he keeps at least a thousand hens. Another way of keeping the fowl3 Is in a continuous row of houses with wire-inclosed run-yards attached; but the scattered colony system seems to be the favorite, and is also the more healthful and gives the best results In fertility and vigor. Many of the women of Petaluma are kept busy feeding the chickens. In 1900 $20,(XH) was spent with the merchants of the town for chicken feed. This was outside and above the feedstuff which some of the large poultry raisers import from San Francisco. Small oyster shells are bought in this town of hens by the schooner load to furnish the biddies with the lime wherewith to produce a proper eggshell. The cost of feeding one hen well, and strike the happy medium of success in feeding. Is about 63 cents per yeaw from that to $1. A man will go into a store in Petaluma and buy $."00 worth of chicken feed and pay cash for it as readily and perhaps more so than he would buy his wife a silk gown. Spot cash is the basis on which trading is done in Petaluma, and the hens have made it so. The local merchants pay out to small producers an average of per day lor eggs and poultry. Producers get cash almost dally for their products and can sell one bin! or a dozen eggs to a lively lot of competitors for cash at the same rate that a thousand birds or a thousand dozen egg3 would be bought for. HOW BUSINESS IS TRANSACTED. The Tetaluma poultryman sells his eggs; he doesn't consign them. In the spring season San Francisco and other dealers send to the. town, and their agents may be often found out on the country roads trying to induce the incoming poultrymen to sign contracts to sell their products to them for the entire year. Many small producers shp eggs and poultry direct to San Francisco hotels and restaurants. Twenty to thirty "oops of poultry are shipped each day from Petaluma to the San Francisco market. Poultry and eggs to the value of JI.&00 are the daily shipments from the town at present, which figure is raised to J2.i0 from April to July. Wells-Fargo 6hlpped through their office last year from Petaluma 11.000 cases of eggs and 6.eM) boxes of butter, and the Petaluma Express Company is handling more than ILK) cases per day. The best argument as to profits Is the fact that everybodyln the town Is in the poultry business in some form, and they all stay In It and enlarge each year. Tho average profit per hen Is $1 to 51. CO net per annum. One man about three miles from Petaluma has succeeded, by special care, neatness and good selection of fowls in making his hens pay a trifle over $2 each per annum. If the eggfhells were only as valuable as the eggs what a duplicate store of riches would accrue to many. The Incubators leav behind them a vast number of shells, which are carted away by the wagon load for use in the tanneries, or are crushed and fed to their near relatives, the chicks. Perhaps the Idggei-t wagon load on record was made 1-y the shells left by 45.j-nj chicks hatched by incubator. Incased in wire netting they resembled a case of huge popcorn. The average poultry ranch Is of about ten acres, on which can be kept l..) hns, with plenty of room for a horse and to rals; kale and cabbage for dry season food for the chickens, and plenty of barley. One of the bigge.-t income producers near Petaluma is the Freeman ranch at Fallon, with T.eoo hens, bringing in per day. The Strantr Brothers, known as the mot progressive poultrymen. having the prettiest ranch In the surrounding country, with over l.roO thoroughbred white Ieghorna make net per day. The Purvlne Brothers have among them the largest poultry interests of the county. ierhaps. there being seven or eight of the brothers, each having a ranch with from 3Ao to C.uuu hens. The farm of W. Purvine contains 313 acres. A few people go In for fancy breeds, but there la practically no one engaged in rais

ing table fowl to any extent. II. R. Campbell makes a specialty of barred Plymouth Rocks and has some of the finest in Sonoma county. Many poultrymen make a specialty of hatching by the thousand to sell to others to keep up their Mocks. In lv" much wheat was shipped from Petaluma ;now twice the quantity Is shipped Into the town to be sold for chicken feed. Ten years ago anything could be sold for feed; now the demand is for choie-e milling wheat. The dealers buy in immense quantities and can sell low. It may be said that the Petaluma hen practically lays her eggs on Front street, San Francisco. SHIPPING THE PRODUCT. By the steamer Gold cases of eggs are delivered in San Francisco every day to dealers and the empty cases returned to Petaluma for 20 cents per case. This is less than the cartage would be from the ferry to the buyer In San Francisco. The dealers' aim is to make one-half to one cent per dozen on eggs shipped. The producer gets the balance. Eggs marked "Petaluma" readily bring 5 cents per dozen more than those from other sections. Petaluma eggs keep better than others In cold storage, and the big plant run there by Dodge. Sweeney & Co. is no small help to the poultrymen. The company is now shipping seventy-five or eighty cases per day, and last year in competition shut out 17,'X) cases of Eastern storage eggs from the San Francisco market. The storage room of this company in Petaluma will accommodate 10,000 cases of eggs. . Though many broilers are marketed in San Francisco every year from Petaluma. yet -47 carloads of poultry came Into the San Francisco market from the East last year, with from 5.UO0 to 6.000 fowls in a car. which would euggest that some one might make a profitable specialty of table fowl raising in this town of Sonoma county. When San Francisco needs a big order of eggs and poultry at once for shipment to Honolulu or for any other purpose Peta duma is drawn upon at advanced prices. The uiiference in the cost of transportation and the certainty of the best values in Petaluma as compared to other more remote, or not so naturally favored localities, amounts to the saving of an enormous tax. Figure it on a medium-sized ranch, one that sells six cases of eggs per week and saves 10 cents per case on his freight and gets 1 cent per dozen more for eggs than is paid for the prtduct of other sections for a run of say ten years. ELKS MADE HIGH SCORES.

Patriarch Did Not Come Close to NVlnnliiK The Scores. It was rather shameful the way the Patriarchs were treated by the Elks in the games in the Fraternal Social Bowling Association at the Marlon alleys last night. The Patriarchs did not come close to winning. The Elks rolled high scores, Dollman leading with 221. The Odd Fellows took three from the Royal League by scores that were uninteresting. The K. of P.'s won three from the Maccabees, but the Red Men and Buffaloes had a fierce contest, in which the Red Men won two. The tjcores follow: RED MEN VS. BUFFALOES. (Marion Alleys.)

Freakish Fashion In "Which Young. IVould-Ile Athleten Take Pride. New York Mall and Express. Groton school lies on the top of a great hill in northern Massachusetts, Inviting the icy winds from the White and Green mountains, and those that rush down from the still remoter Canadian north through the river rifts lr the hill system of upper New England. Beneath the hill nestles a beautiful and primitive old village, where the people have old-fashioned waj's and notions. Sitting by their tires of oak and maple logs, these villagers eiften. dlscups the strange habit of the "swell boys" at the school on the hill of rushing around bareheaded in all sorts of winter weather. The Groton people wear cloth caps in winter, which are the successors of the coon-skin caps that their fathers affected. Rare head3 even the bare shock heads of vigorous boys they .never heard of In winter out of doors. And now that there Is something like an epidemic of pneumonia at Groton school, with the President's son sick nigh unto death, perhaps, the village people are loud in their denunciation of this bareheaded fashion. The practice is not at all peculiar to Groton school. The other day a handsome boy, attended by two men, was seen riding bareheaded in Central Park. Clad as to his body in a warm Jersey, and well trousered, stockinged and booted, his head was unprotected, Have for its excellent natural covering of hair, which tossed in the cold wind as he trotted along on his tine horse. He did not look uncomfortable or cold, and probably he was not. It Is a common practice among young athletes to exercise bareheaded all winter. The Groton school boys were only following a fashion. Is It a wise or safe fashion? uoubtless the doctors will disagree on this question, as they do on niosl others. There Is, however, an attitude of common sense about the matter, which laymen may assume as si f ely a 3 doctors. If boys never put on hats at all as the season grows cold; if they let the hair grow thick on their heads, and scorned other covering altogether, as Indians do who have not yet been compulsorily shorn by tne government, there Is no doubt whatever that they would be safe? uiough agnin?t the cold. They would btcom- entirely habituated to the thin. and not only wouid nature take good care of thf-m. but It would save them from the curse of baldness in maturity. Rut this Is not the way toys do. Custom requires that for the greater part of their time they, yh.ill wear hats or caps. In their ordinary going und comings their heads are Jirtlfiiully revered. Nor can they, like Mr. Padm w?kl or a football plar in November, bt their hair grow and bubh out wide In a glorious Shock. The bareheaded practico is an unusual and oxe-ptlunal thirg, and therefore lngerous. It Is a pretty fashion, but one not to b'. commended. And on tin ,i:;h Rills ef northern Massai huse t ts th winds are particularly searching. The jx-opU win built Groton more than two hi:nlr ,l years ai;.i wen wise when, after lindinir that It was really not practicable to lollow the Indian custom, they rob n d the coons of their fkins for head covering.
