aid Mr. Dunn, "something like the parrot that was owned by the preacher. It was a prefer e bird, anil gave the clergyman a great deal of trouble. It was constantly ahouting out the most shocking words, and. In spite of the owner's efforts to correct Its

langauge. the parrot continued to be a bad j bird. One day. the occasion of an unusually piovoklng and wicked outburst on the. part of the bird, its owner decided to take harsh measures. He caught the cage from the nail on the wall and, rushing out of doors, plunged the bird to the depths of a rainwater barrel. He repeated this pro-, ceedlng two or three times, and then swung the cage around violently a few times, just to give the bird some exercise after its bath. Then he hung the cage on a nail. The parrot, in a shockingly bedraggled condition, hopped up on the roost of the cage and, cocking Its head to one side, laconically inquired: 'Where the were you when the cyclone struck us?' " XXX State Senator Ogborn. of New Castle, who accompanied the Senate subcommittee to the Southwest on its statehood investlgating trip, left Washington a day or two ago for his home in Indiana. Senator Ogborn. who is an expert stenographer, did the shorthand work for tne committee on its trip. In speaking of the Interest that was being manifested ty som- people in the Southwest in the statehood matter, he remarked: "I had a chance to make money on the trip in a pretty easy way. One man down there came to me in a confidential way and offered me a cool thousand dollars for the testimony that one witness had given. I explained to him that such a proceeding would be Impossible. He appeared very anxious to get the testimony of this witness, and was willing to pay for it." XXX Senator Marcus A. Hanna, one of the most popular men in Washington, is frequently seen around the Arlington Hotel In the evenings. His health is good and he Is always in the best of spirits. He never grows tired of congratulating Indiana men on the Republican majority in their 8tate. The other morning a number of senators and representatives called at the White House to see the President. They came separately, and each man took his turn at an interview with the chief executive. Senator Fairbanks was one of the earliest tlkrs, and while he was with the President Representative Overstreet arrived. He took a seat in what is known as the "cabinet room.'' Directly Senator Allison i me in and sat down to wait, and in a lew minutes Senator Piatt, of Connecticut, arrived. Soon the trio of statesmen were joined by Senator Hanna. When the latter came in it was suggested by one of the men that he take the President's chair and prtssdt over a Cabinet meeting. Senator Hanna did so. and the group fell to talking on different topics. At length the door of the President's private office was opened and the President stepped out. He I ked at the assembled company and indulged in some light remark. "es." said one of the number, "we were Just holding a Cabinet meeting. "8o I see," the President laughingly remarked, and then turned to Senator Hanna, who occupied his chair. The Ohio senator, with a laugh, explained his presence there. I was just trying the President's chair," he said, "to see how it goes." "Good," remarked one of the group, and no one laughed more heartily at the senator's sally than the President. XXX Representative Holllday has recommended the appointment of John G. Lowry as postmaster at Montezuma, Parke county, the present postmaster having resigned. MONT PELEE ACTIVE.

MINEkS GIVE TESTIMONY

TELL OF AM.Kr.EO BLACKLISTING KTHODS OK OPERATORS. Hlind Men Introduced as Evidenee of the Dangers of Mining More Rumors of Settlement. SCRANTON. Pa.. Dec. 5-The lawyers of the mine workers continued to call witnesses to-day before the strike commission to testify to the alleged blacklisting methods pursued by several coal companies in refusing to re-employ strikers who took a more or less prominent part In the affairs of the miner workers' union during the recent suspension. All of them said they had been employed before the strike, but refused their old places after the strike was ended. In most cases, according to the testimony, no satisfactory reason was given why they were not taken back. Two blind men who were also otherwise badly injured by underground explosions UN presented as living evidence of the dangers in the mines. When the commission adjourned for the day the Rev. J. J. Curran, the Roman Catholic clergyman of Wilkesbarre who took a prominent part In the miners' cause during the recent strike, was on tfca witness stand. Only one sessWm will he held to-morrow, adjournment to be taken at 1 p. m. Nothing could be learned here to-day with reference to the reported efforts at a settlement outside the commission. None of the attorneys for either side professed to know anything about any contemplated move in that direction. Wayne MacVeagh. who is representing the Krie Railroad coal properties, was the only attorney in a position to know who would talk about the matter. He left here, accompanied by Commissioner Parker, this afternoon, over the Lackawanna railroad for New York, as the testimony now being presented to the commission does not concern Mr. kfcVeagh's clients to an extent which makes his presence necessary. Mr. MacVeagh. before leaving, said that a majority of the operators thought it betttr to adjourn all efforts to reach by amicable conference a basis for the award of the commission until both sides had presented all the testimony they wished to ott r. Whether the efforts to reach such a basis will be then resumed can be decided only after the testimony is closed. Mr. IlacVeagh added that he personally thought, in view of the extraordinary conditions existing in the anthracite region, that this was a mistaken attitude for the operators to assume, as he feared each day's testimoney would tend to Increase the bitterness of feeling: hut it was not only the right, but the duty of the operators to act on their own judgment of the situation and h" sincerely hoped the result would fully Justify the conclusion they reached, from tins expression, it is taken that Mr. MacVeagh was opposed to the calling off the negotiations last week. It Is hit sincere hope that an agreement will be effected and it is known that the commissioners still hope for an agreement on many, if not all, the chief points at issue. The departure of Mr. MacVeagh and Mr. Parker for New York gave rise to a rumor that the distinguished attorney was going there to consult with the operators on the settlement scheme, but when he was setn just before he left the city he said he did not know whom he would see there. He denied all knowledge of any efforts being made by the large coal companies to absorb the independent concerns. Individual operators, who were approached on the subject, also said they knew nothing of such a move. Individual Operators May Sell. SCRANTON, Pa.. Dec. 5. Recent events have given ground for the belief that the result of the negotiations now in progress will be the ultimate sale of the properties of the individual operators to the large coal-carrying companies. This will not be done at once, but it is regarded here as certain to come in the not distant future, because it Is believed to be the only solution of the present situation, and Is the outcome which both the independents and the large companies desire. It is estimated that thy collieries of the sixty-seven Independent operators can be purchased for $14.".oi)0,joo. These operators produce threetenths of the total output of coal. o Hope of Amicable Settlement. NEW YORK. Dec. 5.-Wayne MacVeagh arrived from Scranton to-night and went to the Waldorf-Astoria. When asked whether there was any possibility of a settlement of the strike by an agreement outside of the commission, Mr. McVeagh said emphatically: "There is no such possibility, and there will be no further conferences outside the commission, except such as may occur between counsel for the clearing up of minor details. The commission will go on with Its work to the end." Mr. MacVeagh will go to Washington to-morrow. His visit, he said, was on private business, and in no way connected with the coal controversy. CHANGES IN THE ARMY. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) appropriating $200. UuO for the survey of the rlvef from the mouth of the Big Miami to the mouth of the Ohio. A bill was Introduced authorizing the President and the authorities of the State of Texas to run and mark the boundary lines between Oklahoma and New Mexico and the State of Texas. The committee on commerce gave a hearing to-day to a committee consisting of Assistant Secretary of State Hill, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Ailes. Assistant Secretary of the Interior Ryan and Chief Statistician Hyde, of the Agricultural Department, on the department of commerce bill. The committee on naval affairs Instructed the subcommittee on organization, rank and pay to formulate a provision to increase the personnel of the line officers, naval cadets and marine corps. "LEAK" STORY DEM ED. So Opportunity for Stealing: Cotton Report Information. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. Secretary Wilson said to-day that he did not believe the charges published in New York that information of last Wednesday's government crop report had leaked out in advance. Mr. Wilson said that, although he Was away last Wednesday, he had made Investigations of similar allegations in the past, and. despite the most searching efforts of secret service agents, who co-operated with the department, he was unable to find anything to sustain the charges. John Hyde, statistician of the Department of Agriculture, said to-day that a leak In the report was absolutely Impossible. It was 10:45 o'clock Wednesday morning, he said, before he was able to approximate the figures, and no one but himself saw the figures before their approval by the acting secretary of agrlctulture. and immediate promulgation by the telegraph companies at noon. The reports are received from six different sources county, township and st.it- agents, etc. and fr- m the figures thus given him separately Mr. Hyde makes up the official figures. Mr. Hyde says no one but himself is present when the final figures are mule up and no one sees them until submitted to the secretary for approval. Beware Skins of Cherries. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. Twelve million bacteria inhabit the skins of a half a pound of cherries, according to Dr. Ehrlich, a (1 rman scientist, who has made extensive experiments in regard to the Infection of fruit with bacteria. Currants come next, with ll.0OO.00O to every half pound, ami grapes next, with 8.000,000. An account of these experiments has been transmitted to the State Department by Consular Clerk Murphy, at Frankfort Dr. Ehrlich urges that all fruit be cleaned by either peeling or washing before it is eaten. a MISCEI.LAXEOIS .BWS, John Harrett to Be Minister to Japan Caban Meeting: Cuban Treaty. WASHINGTON. Dec. 5.-When the President comes to take up the question of tilling the vacancy caused by the death of illpialar Buck, at Tokio. It la understood

he will name John Barrett, of Oregon, at present commissioner general of the St. Louis exposition to Asia and Australasia, to be minister. Mr. Barrett is now somewhere in the neighborhood of the Straits Settlements. He has been working to secure a good Asiatic representation at the St. Kotiis exposition and his efforts have been attended with success, for he has induced both China and Japan to embark upon large governmental exhibits when they had decided not to be represented In that way. He Is now bound for Australia, where it is his hope to change the minds of the premiers in Australia and New Zealand and cause them to reconsider their purpose to allow the exposition to go on without exhibits from their colonies. The Cabinet was in session for an hour and a half to-day. All the members were present except Attorney General Knox and Secretary Root. Secretary Hay brought to the attention of the President and Cabinet the most important business discussed. Secretary Hay also called attention to what promises to be a serious hitch In the negotiations at Havana of a Cuban reciprocity treaty. The appointments of twenty-.' ve postmasters were decided upon, the most important of which is that of William H. Tucker, to be reappointed as postmaster at Toledo, O. The unexpected turn in the Cuban treaty negotiations at Havana have greatly surprised the officials here, who had every reason to believe from Minister Squier's reports that the treaty was practically an accomplished fact. Now that it is to be thrown into the House of Representatives at Havana, with a Nationalist majority supposed to be hostile to the establishment of closer relations with the United States. it is feared that the treaty is lost, for if not rejected outright it is almost certain to be amended so as to make it unacceptable to the I'nited States. If Minister Hart, at Bogota, is correctly informed no treaty providing- for the construction of the Panama canal can be ratified by the Colombian Congress before about June 1, next. He has reported that the congressional elections have been called for thj middle of next March and Colombians here say that a period of at least sixty days Is required to assemble a newly elected Congress, and then some time must elapse before it Is in working order. Secretary Hay therefore has decided to allow the treaty to be ratified in Washington first, presuming that he succeeds in negotiating one, unless the Senate interposes an objection, which Is not anticipated. It is expected that early next week Dr. Herran. the Colombian charge here, will be given all the powers necessary for him to Hsn a treaty. General I-uke K. Wright, vice Governor of the Philippines, appeared before the House committee on Insular affairs to-day in advocacy of the bill providing for the detail of army officers as chief and assistant chiefs of the Philippine constabulary. Go ernor Wright also spoke in favor of tho gold standard coinage bill for the islands. Baron Hengelmuller, the Austrian ambassador, called at the executive office today and presented to President Roosevelt the Austrian surgeon, Prof. Lorenz, and his assistant. Ir. Mueller. It has recently been brought to the attention of Postmaster General Payne that about twenty-five women are holding positions as carriers in the rural free delivery service, and a call has been made upon Superintendent Machen of that branch for Information about them. An investigation will be made to learn whether they are performing their duties satisfactorily. It Is said that appointments were made without knowledge of the sex of the appointees. Mr. Payne Is said to be opposed to the appointment of women to such service. TRADE, INDUSTRY, LABOR. The Ohio valley stove manufacturers have decided to increase the price of stoves 5 per cent. As a result of a petition to the governor of St. Petersburg, a first meeting of workmen to discuss the betterment of their position will be held next Sunday with the sanction of the authorities. A general strike has been proclaimed at Amsterdam by the Dockers' Union, in consequence of the insistence of the dock companies in undertaking the work of a company whose employes are striking. The Canadian Pacific Railroad yesterday increased the pay of all its conductors and trainmen on its lines east of Fort William by an average of 124 per cent. The increase adds 1250,000 yearly to the company's pay roll. Louis H. Mahnke. a contractor, formerly of the firm of Nelll & Mahnke, confessed insolvency in the Cnlted States District Court at Chicago yesterday. He asked to be relieved of liabilities amounting to $322,515. distributed among a hundred or more creditors. Part of the debts are secured by trust deeds. Failure of the French walnut crop and the consequent increased demand for California nuts has caused the growers to advance prices I cents a pound on the softshell variety. The California crop, it is asserted, will amount to 780 to 800 carloads, most of which has already, been shipped. This is above the average yield. It is reiterated that a powerful New York syndicate Is disposed to furnish the Mexican government with sufficient gold to establish firmly a gold standard. The sum named is 150.000,000. Some City of Mexico bankers think half of that amount would be ample. There is a strong sentiment in favor of retaining the silver dollars, although giving them a nominal value. The charge of forcible entry made against Henry A. Hicks. Simon Burns and three other members of a faction of the Knights of Labor by Mr. Hayes and other officers of the order in charge of the headquarters at Washington was dismissed yesterday by the Police Court, the judges holding the case was one for the civil courts. The matter grew out of those accused making what was charged to be an illegal and forcible entry into the Knights of Labor building. A revolutionary movement is threatened in Hdnduras. General Sierra has been induced to refuse to turn over the presidential powvr to Senor Bonllla, who was elected President in October. It is believed that the Honduran Congress will try to declare the last elections illegal and Senor Bonilla's numerous partisans threaten to protect their leader's rights by force if necessary. Juan Angelarias, the defeated candidate, has been appointed minister of state. The French Chamber of Deputies last night adopted by 5.17 votes to 14 the new sugar law. of which the principal provision reduces the tax on refined sugar to 25 francs per 220 pounds as a compensation fcr the abolition of the sugar bounties under the Brussels convention. The House refused to take into consideration a proposal calling on the government to establish a state monopoly in sugar refining. The Brussels sugar convention was also ratified on a show of hands. Governor Stone has taken prompt action to raise the piarantine which has been ordered by Governor Yates, of Illinois, against Pennsylvania cattle on account of the foot and mouth disease which exists among cattle In the New England States. Governor Stone wrote a letter to Governor Yates protesting against his action and advising that there had been no such disease in that State since 18S2, that there had been none in New York and there is none and has been none in New Jersey. A syndicate made up largely of Michigan capitalists has purchased a tract of cypress timbt r land between New Orleans and Hammond. La., with an estimated stumpage of 45",oM.OOO feet and will organize a company to manufacture. It is proposed to erect a mill costing $2u0,ooo at Manchac, on Lake Ponchartrain. Among those interested are Thomas R. Lngan and R. Lyon, of Chicago; John W. Hlodgett. of Grand Rapids; Danaher Bros, and W. B. Lyon, of Ludington. Mich., and Bradford Keet, of New Orleans. The British Board of Agriculture has Intimated its willingness to remove the embargo on cattle arriving from New England ports whenever the American Department of Agriculture considers that the outbreak is suppressed. The board last night issued an order enabling the landing of the cattle under certain restrictions from the steamer Irishman, which has arrived at Liverpool from Boston, the steamers Kansas and Victorian, due at Liverpool from Boston, and the steamer Cambrian, due at London from Boston. Serious delay to municipal and government work is probable because of the failure at Boston of the contracting firm of F. G. Coburn & Co., one of the largest firms of its kind in the East. The liabilities are estimated at $150,00u. one-half of which is due to the Central National Bank. The MaatS are about $62.000. The company is building two hospitals for the city of Boston and two great shops at the Charlestown ; iy yard for the I'nited 8tates government. The failure Is attributed to the closing of the Central National Bank, which tied up Mr. Coburn's affairs. Contracts have been placed by the Standard Steel Company with prominent machinery manufacturers for new equipment costing several hundred thousand dollars that will Ki'.ttly enlarge its new plant at Butler. Pa. The capacity of the present plant Is sixty cars a day; with the installation of the new equipment the capacity will be increased to eighty cars per day. fifty of which will be all steel and thirty modern cars with metal underframes. The new equipment will make the Standard plant one of the largest and most perfect in the country. President Ramsay's final answer to the striking shopmen of. the Wabash Railroad

was posted yesterday at the shops at Springfield. Soberly. Mo., and Fort Wayne, Ind. It is in the form of an ultimatum. He reiterates his offer of an increase of wages, dating back to Oct. L If the men go to work he says he will not discriminate against any of the employes by reason of their participating in the strike, but warns the strikers they must return to work at once on these terms, or give the place to other men. He a'so gives statistics, showing relative wages paid by the Wabash and other railroads. Judge Ford, of the Common Pleas Court at Cleveland, yesterday granttd a perpetual injunction against the Walters' tnion and the I'nited Trades Council restraining its members from picketing or distributing handbills to would-be customers at the restaurant of John Mulholland. on Superior street. The injunction is sweeping in nature and practically affects every union man In the city. Mulholland refused to employ union waiters and the latter began a boycott against him by passing cards to prospective customers, declaring Mulholland to be unfair to union labor. The case has been bitterly contested by the labor unions in Cleveland. The syndicate of ship owners maintains an unyielding attitude toward the strikers at Marseille, though it is reported that some members are in favor of conducting negotiations. Fiv thousand strikers held a meeting yesterday and voted to reject with contempt the proposals made by the owners yesterday, which were pronounced to be insulting. The meeting demanded that the government should no longer send sailors of the navy to man the steamers and declared that the strikers would answer for order if the liberty to strike was not respected. The strikers adjourned, cheering for a general strike. The meeting was resumed this evening and the strikers voted to persist in the strike until they had obtained entire satisfaction.

WILL IGNORE THE HOUSE PRESIDENT PALMA BMCVMM THE CIBAX RECIPROCITY TREATY. Says His Commissioners Will Sign It and that It Will Be Sent to the Senate for Ratification. HAVANA. Dec. 5. After a conference with Secretaries Zaldo and Montes to-night. President Palma said: "My commissioners, Senors Zaldo and Montes, will sign the reciprocitly agreement with General Bliss probably on Monday or Tuesday next. It will then be sent to Washington, where the treaty will be signed by Secretary Hay and the Cuban minister, Quesada. After confirmation by the Cnited States Senate I will send the treaty to the Cuban Senate for approval. I shall not send it to tho House of Representatives because the executive has. with the approval of the Senate, the right, according to the Constitution, to make a treaty which does not affect the tariff. This agreement provides for certain reductions in the duties on imports from the Cnited States, but the tariff on these articles is not changed. After Um approval of the treaty I intend to send a message to the Senate and House of Representatives asking for a revision of the tariff in order to keep up the revenues, which necessarily will be lessened by the treaty." A senator who supports the administration gives as his opinion that the reciprocity agreement must be approved by the House of Representatives. The matter of issuing a loan of 135,000,000 is again before the Senate. AMERICAN LABOR UNION. Rumor that It Will Invade the Field of Gompers's Organisation. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Dec. 5.-The Sentine! to-morrow will say: "The failure of the recent convention of the American Federation of Labor, held In New Orleans, to heal the rapidly-widening breach between itself and the American Labor Union, the Western organization which has been making great inroads upon its natural increase in membership, has, it is said, encouraged the new labor power to prepare for aggressive steps toward invading the coast. Although men from Denver, Cripple Creek and Pueblo, Col., in the convention were ready to hold out the olive branch toward President Gompers and his associates and to go to the utmost to unite the organizations, none of the federation's delegate tried to meet their Western brothers half way. Dispatches from the West yesterday were to the effect that Frank J. Weber, of Milwaukee, had been offered the position of organizer of the American Iabor Union some time ago, and that, in case of his acceptance, a campaign might be started which would lead to serious disruption in the American Federation of Labor." HOTEL MAN ARRESTED. Proprietor and Clerk of the Lincoln House Accused of Manslaughter. CHICAGO, Dec. 5. Fred A. Smith, proprietor of the Lincoln Hotel, in which fourteen men were smothered to death yesterday, and Night Clerk E. C. Weber were arraigned In the Harrison-street Police Court this morning on the charge of manslaughter as accessories before the fact. The men were arrested last evening at the instigation of Coroner Traegcr and Chief of Police O'Neill. Alderman John J. Brennan signed bail bonds for their appearance this morning and they were in custody but a short time. When the cases were called for hearing the police asked for a continuance and the hearing was set for Dec. 15. Smith's bond was placed at $5.0U0 and Weber's at 12.000. They were signed by Alderman Brennan. $20,000,000 WANTED. Automobile Mannfacturers Will Ask Congress to Pay for a Highway. NEW YORK, Dec. 5. It has been decided by the executive committee of the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers to call a trade convention in Chicago in February to take action toward the presentation of a bill in Congress providing for an appropriation of $20,000,000 toward a national highway. The feature of the bill to be presented and urged will be a proviso that the expense of the proposed highway shall be shared equally by the national government, the State and the county. I'm Men an Sharpshooters. George E. Stackhouse, in Leslie's Weekly. At many of the shooting tournaments this fall In rifle ranges, armories and the field it has been remarked that fat men are coming to the front as sharpshooters, and there has been much speculation as to the reason. There is no good reason why the men of superfluous flesh should not excel in this scientific and delightful pastime if they give attention to it. Nervous energy plays little part In marksmanship. To bej come a sharpshooter one must have a good j eye, steady nerve and be an excellent judge j of distance. It has been my experience that fewer fat men wear eye-glasses than do their thin and nervous neighbors. Shooting from prone or reclining positions ap- : peals to the stout shooter, and he conse quently does his best work at distances of &00 yards or over. While a man with a shooting eye can handle any sort of a weapon with more or less skill, the sharpshooter with the rifle is seldom expert with the shotgun, and vice versa. It is the nervous and thin man who generally makes the best bag in the held with the shotgun. A Guaranteed Cure for Piles. Itching. Blind. Bleeding and Protrudin Plies. No cure, no pay.

Mich.. Dec. 5. The Metropolitan Athletic Club of Detroit has agreed to put up a $2.500 forfeit for the "Young" Cor-bett-McGovern fight for Jan. 3. and Sam Harris for MoGovern and John Considine for Corbett, it is said here, have practically accepted the elub's proposition to give 60 per cent, of the gross receipts. Mayor W. C. Maybury said to-night: "If the provisions of the fight are according to law. I see no reason why there should be any interference from the Detroit authorities. The men being well trained, it seems as though such a contest should occasion lesa unfavorable comment than a content between greenhorns who might not be able to stand a good stiff punch." tout at Milwaukee.

For Friendship's Sake Tell Me a Sick One Whom You Want to See Well.

Send no money just a postal card stating which book is needed. It costs but a psnny takes but a mcment. Write it to-day, and I will do all that man can do to make your friend well.

Then I will even do this: I will mail the sick one an order good at any drug store for six bottles Dr. Snoop's Restorative. He may take it a month at my risk. If it succeeds, the cost is $5.50. If it fails, will pay the druggist myself. And the sick one's mere word shall decide it.

Could I meet you I would forever convince you that I have what these sick ones need. More than that, they must have it, for most of them can never get well without it. I would overwhelm you with evidence. But I can meet only a few. so I say to all who need help: "Try my Restorative one month at my risk. Learn by a test Just what it can do. If it succeeds, you are well. If it falls, it Is free." 1 know that no sick one can neglect an offer like that. I fail sometimes, but not often. In rare cases there Is a cause like cancer which medicine cannot cure. But I have furnished my Restorative to hundreds of thousands on these terms, and 39 out of each 40 have gladly paid because they got well. 1 am willing to trust the sick ones to be fair with me. It is a remarkable remedy that can stand a test like that. It is my discovery, and I spent a lifetime on It. My Restorative is the only remedy that strengthens the inside nerves. Those nerves alone operate every vital organ of the body. When an organ is weak It means that its nerve power is weak. It is like an engine that needs more steam. To doctor the organ is useless. The weak organ will do Its duty when given the power to act, and no other way can cure it. My success comes from the fact that my remedy ilwtys restore that nerve power. My book will explain it. Please write me to-day who needs It.

Simply state which book Is wanted and address Dr. Shoop, Box 730, Racine, Wis.

Mild Cases, not chronic, are often cured by one or two bottles. Dr. Snoop's Restorative is sold by all druggists.

ELWOOD WAS SHUT OUT THE INDIANAPOLIS POL.O TEAM WON BY A SCORE OF 10 TO O. Hlpson and Gavitt Scored the Goals Clemens Played Half In Place of Way Lyons Injured. The Indianapolis polo team won a decisive game from the Elwood team at Tomlinson Hall last night by a score of 10 to 0. Indianapolis was defeated at Elwood on Thursday night and there were fears expressed last night that Elwood would repeat the dose, as Way was out of the game, making it necessary for Clemens to play half. Clemens had not played in several seasons, but he played the position well last night, and through the clever work of Hlpson, Gavitt and Coggshall Indianapolis was able to shut out Elwood. Berry's work at goal was brilliant. Hlpson secured nearly all the rushes and Indianapolis had the ball nearly all the time. Parent and Olle, the two Elwood rushes, were not in the same class with Hlpson and Gavitt. Lyons was injured in the second half, and O'Malley, who retired earlier in the game, succeeded him at half. Lyons and Hipson came together in the center of the floor, and Hipson accidentally struck Lyons over the eye with his skate. A gash nearly an inch long was cut on Lyons's forehead. The team lined up as follows: Indianapolis. Position. Elwood. Hipson First rush Parent Gavitt Second rush Olle Coggshall Center..

Points of Interest In Diseases of tho Eqslse Javr. Spirit of the Times. The humane method of handling horses mouths and operating on diseased teeth has been confined to the last few years. While it is still In its infancy, yet nesrly all tho operations that are practiced on human teeth are now practiced upon those of a horse. The cavities of the teeth of the horse ia of frequent occurrence, and no part of the tooth is exempt from this disease. It may attack the external surface of the crown, neck or root, or It may begin in the center of the tooth around the pulp cavity and gradually extend outward. The molars are the teeth usually affected, the incisors rarely and the canim-s practically never surler from this affliction. When the diseased process goes on to suppuration, as it usually does, if the teeth b' the flrst or the second upier molar, a fistulous opening is formed into the nasal caity; if UM third, fourth, fifth or sixth upper molar, the pus collects in the maxillary sinus, causing a bulging of the face; if the tooth is a lower molar, the fistula usually opens on the lower margin of the inferior maxilla. When the diseased process has extended too far to save the tooth, the tooth is extracted, and If there be a collection of pus in the sinuses they are trepined and all healed together. If the cavity is small it is tilled the same as a human tooth, with an amalgam composed of the fillings of a mixture of tin and silver, combined with mercury in suitable proportions. An exostosis or bone enlargement sometimes grows on the root of a horse's tooth. Such teeth have to be extracted or the enlargement allows a great sise. Foreign substances, such as sticks of wood and pieces of corn c obs, frequently become lodged bet n the teeth or In the guttut. This condition is marked by a oui'inual champing of the jaws, excessive flow of saliva, difficulty of eating, rapid emaciation. etc. Fractures of the teeth are of great annoyance to the horse. The fracture may be longitudinally or traversely. A collection of tartar on the teeth causes a constant irritation in some homes. This is shown by the swelling of the gums, the destruction of the alveolar process, the loosening of the teeth and the condition known as lampas, when occurring in old horses. When the molar tooth Is absent from any cause its opposing tooth grows down and injures the gum of the opposing Jaw. These have to be cut off or extracted. Horses of all ages suffer more or less from long, sharp and projecting points which are often found on the molar teeth. They are situated on the inside of the lower Jaw, being narrower than the upper one. and the two rows of teeth do not come in direct opposition, leaving parts that do not in wear. These sharp points give the great pain by lacerating the tongue and cheeks. The animal is relieved by cutting off these sharp projections and then smoothing with a file. The operation can be performed on the horse without injuring the tooth, from the fact that the table is not covered with enamel. The gums and alveolar processes of horses very frequently are the seat of tumors and excrescences of various kinds, varying in character from the most simple growth of the gum to morbid production of fungoid or cancerous nature. Rut the most pitiable sigh is to see a horse suffering with the excruciating and almost Insupportable pain of an alveolar abscess. signature Is on every box of the genuine a - n ...
