An ice rink would have been appropriate at the Cyclorama yesterday. At the afternoon roller polo (,-ame between Indianapolis and Richmond the atmosphere In the building was so cold that the spectators were decidedly uncomfortable. Four big stoves were kept red hot during the day and evening, but what little good they did to warm the building was ruined by the cold blasts that poured In at the main door. Storm doors have 'been ordered and when they arrive the managers claim lt will not bo a hard task to warm the building for future games. After the game started the spectators forgot the cold, so exciting was the play. Indianapolis won in the afternoon by a score of 7 to 1. The evening contest was captured by Richmond by a score of 3 to 2, requiring a couple of minutes overtime to decide a winner. Both contests were full of sensational and exciting plays, but the evening contest was the fiercest. After Indianapolis I won In the afternoon the Richmond play ers determined to capture the evening game. They went into the contest with the evident intention of roughing it as much as possible, and during the first period the spectators constantly looked for a serious accident, but no one was hurt. Jessup, Richmond's goal tender, was severely criticised by the spectators for his manner of playing. When the play was near the Rich mond goal and tho men were fighting for the ball Jessup would swing his club, car ing little whether he hit one of the In dianapolis players. He also had a habit of removing the net with his stick so that the ball might roll out should it be driven into the cage. He had to be cautioned several times by Umpire Moran. Cunningham and Moran. of the Richmond team, roughed it considerably, but the Indianapolis players were equal to the occasion, and in the scrimmages honors were about even. Indianapolis experienced little difficulty in winning in the afternoon. In the first period Ilipson scored the first goal In 2G seconds. Gavitt added another goal in 1:55. Three goals were scored by Indianapolis in the second period and two in the third. Houghton scored the only goal for the visitors in the third period.

Athletics at the University of Chicago are on a firm financial foundation, practically for the first time In the history of the university. The past year, according to tho statement yesterday of Manager Butterworth, was the most prosperous in the history of the school. Football alone totaled the sum of $4S,000, while track athletics and baseball will bring this up several thousands more. The nearest the university athletics yielded a similar sum was in 1S99, when the post-season game with Wisconsin helped to cwell the total receipts for the year to $12,000. Of the $IS,000 in receipts this year the university will get half, or $21,000, the other half going to visiting teams. The expenses during the past season amounted to 511,000, leaving a total of $13.000. Out of this a debt between JC.OOO and $7,000 was paid, leaving a surplus of nearly $7,000. The statement is by far the best ever made to the university trustees. Last year was ebbtide in university finances, when the receipts from all sources totaled only $2S.OOO. In 1900 the receipts from all sources were $35.000. The surplus this year will more than cover expenses for the track and baseball teams next spring, it is figured; and will leave a nice working balance for next season's football. The new gymnasium, it is expected, will be completed before the football season opens, so Prof. Stagg and his maroons will be domiciled in their new home free from debt. Some of the surplus may be put into the athletic field. New fences are needed for the field, but it Is doubtful If anything will be done in this direction the coming year. Some money will be needed for new stands, as it Is figured that with possibly a stronger team some fair-sized crowds may be entertained on Marshall Field next year. v The engagement of Horace Butterworth as physical director of Northwestern University is only one of the plans of an entirely new aggressive policy which will henceforth be pursued by Northwestern in athletics," said a prominent alumnus of the university yesterday. The engagement of Butterworth, coming as it did after the hiring of Coach McCormack, has given the student body much hope, not only for me looiDait team, but Tor the baseball and track teams as well. Those of the students who are remaining in Evanston over the holidays have expressed themselves as well pleased with the action of the faculty In the engagement of Butterworth. Some, ,ln fact. declare that he is the best man that could be had for the position. He Is therefore as sure of a position as was McCormack. Dr. C. M. Holllster has decided to quit athletics entirely and devote his entire time to the practice of medicine. Dr. Hollister expects to establish himself on the North Side in a short time. New Athletic Field. CHICAGO, Dec. 23. Northwestern University is to have a new athletic field. Sheppard Field Is to be abandoned and a site near the heart of Evanston Is to be fitted up with a complete new equipment before the opening of the football season next fall. This announcement was made to-day by Horace Butterworth. the new director of athletics at the university. H'LEOD IS CHAMPION. Wrestler Jenkins Hod a Dad Leg and Was Forced to Quit. WORCESTER, Mass., Dec. 25. Dan McLeod won the championship of America at catch-as-catch-can wrestling and the. $1,500 end of a $2,000 purse in Mechanics' Hall before 1,100 people this afternoon by getting the better of Tom Jenkins. Jenkins had a bad leg caused by blood poisoning and the pain caused by the points of a brass buckle entering the flesh of this leg made him quit in the third bout. In order to protect the injured part Jenkins had a leather bandage with a steel strip down the front of the shin fastened with brass buckles. Two of these were broken m the early part of the match and the brass points dug Into his flesh until the pain .was unbearable and he was afraid of further blood poisoning. He had wrestled twenty minutes in the third bout when he told McLeod the condition he was In and said he was willing to quit and call the match a draw or go on wrestling. McLeod Insisted on continuing, but Jenkins's man ager refused to let the big fellow go on, and forfeited the match. Jenkins won the first fall by a threequarters Nelson In 53 minutes and McLeod got the second in 24 minutes on a crotch and half-Nelson hold. The match was fast from the start, McLeod being on the aggressive almost all the time. Sharkey Ready to Fleht Again. NEW YORK, Dec. 25. As a sequel to the recent defeat of Champion Jeffries by "Jack" Munroe at Butte, Mont., Tom" Sharkey has declared his intention of reentering the prize ring and has issued a challenge to Jeffries or Munroe for any sort of a bout for a side bet of from $1,000 to $5.0u0. If either of them is inclined to accept Sharkey will post a forfeit to clinch the match. Dr. Lorenz Fonr Meals. New York World. Dr. Lorenz has made certain admissions about his diet and the quantity of food he consumes that merit the serious atten tion and consideration of those who have only a sentimental interest in his surgical operations, feuggestions noout what we should eat are of Importance to us all. The doctor s meals comprise a First breakfast Taken at 6:30 a. m., after bathing, and composed of coffee and "several crisp rolls." Second breakfast Taken at 8, and consisting of two soft-boiled eggs, fried ham or chops and hot tea. A hearty luncheon. A substantial dinner. Four meals a day and a larger allowance of food than most Americans permit themselves. The double breakfast nerd not concern us, for as a rule we eat enouch In the morning. But the hearty luncheon Isimportant. or tne most part we sin against our stomachs by eating too little, rather than too much, in midday. a heavier meal then with a fifteen minutes rest after It would mean fewer occasions for cocktails to tone up tired nerves be fore dinner. As regards the bodily economy, the old theory of a noon dinner was a good one. It gave the hard-working man an ample allowance of food to do his work on, and it averted the "all gone" feeling that sometimes arises at 4 after a luncheon of pie agd milk. Sew Use for Electricity. Philadelphia Record. The workmen In the 'great electric power houses have a use for electricity to which the attention of physicians might be called. This use was exemplified In a striking way the other night in one of the uptown houses. One of the workmen hobbled In on a crutch. The foot that he did not walk on was wrapped in a white towel. "I got a needle In her," he explained. He went over to one of the big dynamoes, sat down on the floor of concrete, bared his wounded foot and then extended, it to the current. "I ran this needle In this morning," he said, as he sat waiting. "It disappeared somewhere or other. I couldn't find It; the doctor couldn't find it; I thought I'd let the current see If It could find It, the same as the other fellows do when they get needles lost inside 'em." The man waited. Five minutes, ten minutes passed. Suddenfy his foot twitched and he gave a grunt of pain. The lost needle, drawn forth by the power of tho current, protruded a half inch from his inPtep. He readily drew it out the rest of the way with his fingers. Edwin Dunlon Resljrns. ST. LOUIS. Dec. 25.

THE STRIKE INQUIRY. Chief Value is In Enllßbtenment Furnished to the Public. Scranton Letter in Philadelphia Press. There is a vast discrepancy In opinions as to the points which have already been made on both sides. Rather generally, however, it is conceded that the operators, particularly in this end of the coal fields, have the best of the argument thus far. While in certain cases they have emerged from the Etately silence of the past with their haloes somewhat awry, in the majority they have not been shown up as the raw-head-and-bloody-bones. pictured In some Instances. The Coxe Brothers and the Markles have not added to the luster of fame acquired by the operators in the mass. They may be able to explain away some very ugly accusations, but their explanations will be too late to silver plate the record displayed before the commission. Aside from these two companies, little evidence has been deduced against mine owners. Some of the larger corporations have yet to give satisfactory reasons why old employes were not retained since the strike, but as a rule it has been shown that their places had been tak4t by nonunion men during the strike, who had not been dismissed since. The Mine Workers' Union has been able to testify to individual cases of discrimination and conditions which should be improved, but many persons believe it has not been demonstrated that as a class the mine workers have been dealt with unjustly. On the contrary, lt has been testified that they receive better wages than those In other department of labor in Pennsylvania, where $429 is the average yearly earnings of workers in employments outside of mining. The great value of the testimony has not been so much the Impression upon the commissionfor the commission has had its mind pretty well made up for some time .but rather the enlightenment furnished the public. In this way the independent operators believe their contention has been fully justified. They say that If the testimony has been read with any degree of earnestness it must have convinced a multitude of people who do not live In the coal regions that they have erred in judgment regarding conditions here. The chief feature of the whole proceedings was the finale made by the nonunion men. To say that the statements caused a sensation is to give a mild version of the actual sentiments. Even the" lawyers for the operators of various companies received a Jar at some of the sworn testimony. In a careless way they had read the reports of the atrocities committed during the strike. But it Is one thing to glance hastily over a newspaper story of some scrimmage in a mining village while eating breakfast comfortably in the seclusion of one's home and entirely a different matter to see a palefaced woman on the witness-stand break into sobs as she tells how her "friends and next-door neighbors burned her little home and destroyed; all the carefully acquired treasures of hfr household and refused her shelter when she fled with her baby in her arms and pleaded for a place to spend the night. The baby wailed, too, as she told the story and tugged with tiny, feeble fingers at the handkerchief covering Its mother's eyes. It was to feed the little baby and the brown-eyed mother that the husband took his lire in his hands and became an outcast during the strike to earn an honest, day's wages. lt was different when the listeners heard about it from the victim's own lips. It was different, too, when they saw the little Hungarian lad's scarred brow and head from wounds received because its 'father was a nonunion workman. It was interesting to watch Mr. Mitchell's face during this testimony. The sneer froze on his mouth and he was plainly uncomfortable. A feature of the past few weeks has been the flood of letters pouring upon the lawyers and others connected with the an thracite strike commission. These letters are from all classes of citizens, particu larly of business men In the coal regions. urging a complete exposition of facts that will lead the commission to take a firm stand against the boycott and Its attend ant horrors. The letters are pitiful In their earnestness and are full of pathetic Illu strations- of the suffering and losses en dured by Innocent people In the center of the strike belt, where unionism is most effective. . From the evidence deduced during the testimony of the nonunion men it is fair to assume that the success of the strike and the union could only depend on re peated acts of cruelty and outrageous vio lence. There is a general feeling that, whatever the decision of the commission may be. the inhabitants of the anthra cite regions are not yet through with the scenes whose description has shocked lis teners and readers. The. conflict Is by no means over and will probably continue until business depression comes, on one of its periodical visits. It is a melancholy fact that strikes only flourish and unions only grow offensively arrogant in prosperous times. In detail, the operators claim to have proved that in the case of accidents GO per cent, of these have resulted from negll gence or recklessness of the mine workers. and that statistics of English and American health reports show that miners live longer than agriculturists. As to allowances, it has been shown that it is the only employment In which a pro vision is made to Indemnify the contractor against unfortunate conditions attending his work and where these allowances are made by mine foremen who themselves have risen from being miners. In the mat ter of dockage, they have shown that the mine owner recovers on.y two-tenths of his losses from foreign substances and dis honest loading, while the. sworn statement that car sizes have been increased with out corresponding Increase of wages is de clared to be absolutely untrue. The operators also say that they have proved tne necessity oi aiscipllne as es sential to the safety of the miner and that the mine owner Is as anxious for safe conditions to protect his propertyas the miner can be to protect his life and limb. . One fact is reasonably assured and that is the attitude of the commission toward the boycott. Judge Gray has also intimated during the hearings what he thinks of the calling out of pumpmen and erelneeers. thus jeopardizing the mines and working to tne disadvantage or ..tne miners them selves when they return to work. Monroe Doctrine Then and No it. Kansas City Journal. The Monroe doctrine of to-day Is far dif ferent from the Monroe doctrine of seven-ty-tlve years ago. Then it was a doctrine of suspicion or trepidation. We feared that if Europe were permitted to colonize surrounding territory she would next make conquest of the United States. No possible combination of nations could now make conquest of the big republic. We have gone from a question of self-protection to a question of self-interest, and we must sustain or abandon our guardianship of the South American republics purely as lt appears to our advantage or disadvantage in the way of commerce. Sentimentally, we scarcely can justify a protectorate over these so-called democracies. They have had their chance and they have failed to establish and maintain good governments.

The Austrian Snrseon Describes Ills Manner of Treating; Dislocations. New York Independent. At first I used a sort of screw, to pull limbs into their places, but it was too rough and I gave that up and now use the hands alone, though in difficult cases the limbs are prepared for. the operation by means of weights that pull them, some of them being a heavy as eighty ppunds. Though the treatment of the child's mal formed or mlsjolnted limb may appear to the layman to be very severe, and though a great deal of force is certainly applied in tearing the muscles that bind the bones. In the false position, yet' when the child awakes from the ether lt feels no pain. Recovery from the immediate effects of the operation is very rapid and the child should be moving about in two or three days, using the limb that has been treated. 1 want the child to use the limb as soon as possible, for in most cases the head of the temur and the socket In which it works do not work harmoniously, because during all the patient's life they have grown apart. Use will remove this difficulty. After the operation to reduce congenmai dislocation of the hip tho patient is kept in the plaster cast about nine months, though encouraged at the same time to move about, using tne nmo tnai nas oeen treated and especially bearing weight on it. Some little patients with these casts upon them are very lively. I rememDer a boy from Berlin, who was In a cast that held his lees out In spread-eagle style, the knees and toes pointing in opposite directions. He used to gallop sldewlso about th streets, llv the lime the cast is taVeil off the muscles have knit the limb Into Its new position and If lt has been well uked all joint difficulties have vanished and the cure Is as complete as though the child had 'had two good limbs from the beginning. Sometimes there is no socket, or one of Its walls is too low to properly retain the head of the femur when It is put In place. Thi can often be remedied by boring with the femur itself at the time of the operation. The plaster cast then holds the bone In place till the muscles bind it there. I was greatly pleased to find m .ncw York that my methods of operating are well understood and practiced. In the West they are not. But here in ivew York, where the German medical papers are taken and studied, the surgeons of the Hospital for the Ruptured and Crippled know as much about my operation for hip dis location as I do myself. They have been practicing it for about six years. I have traveled to a number of clues and visited many hospitals and demonstrated my operation many times before great numbers of surgeons since coming here. It is not a matter of strength. Cut a matter of skill, and there is no reason why the surgeons who witnessed my demonstration should not be able to repeat It for themselves. America has some of -the cleverest sur geons of the world and the whole body of them here are notably quick at learn ing. I am greatly pleased with the hospitals, the apparatus is so good, the specialization so thorough, and there has been such liberal provision for particular wants. This country Is far ahead of Germany In such matters. The American dentist has demonstrated that he is the best in the world in his calling and the American surgeon will go to the front ?lso It is inevitable. THE VENEZUELAN CIIAItACTEIl. People Not of the Same Temper as the 0 Mcarajguans. Harper's Weekly. It Is probable that In London and Berlin, If not in Washington also, the history and national temper of the Venezuelans have been overlooked or misconceived and that it has been too lightly taken for granted that they could be as roughly and summar ily brought to book as were the Jsicaraguans. As a matter of fact, among all the Latin-American peoples the Venezuelans have the most illustrious record. Unlike the British colonists, who had the aid of France, they did not have the assistance of any European power In their uprising against their mother country. Kot only did they free themselves from Spanish op pression, however, but they played the part of liberators In New Granada, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. If. Indeed, the renown of a national hero is to be measured by military triumphs in the field, there Is no reason why the name of Bolivar should pale beside that of Washington. It was preposterous to assume that a people conscious of ennobling traditions, and inspired by heroic examples, would tamely submit to be treated like China or like Egypt. That assumption seems to have been mad however, by the British and German con jnsndc rs in v enezuelan waters, and. as these officers have not been superseded, we mut infer that their conduct has met with ap proval at the foreign oQces of London and Berlin. Under the circumstances President Roosevelt might well have considered it his duty to point out that the smooth assurances originally given to him on paper had not been made good in fact, and that in case a provocative policy should cause the allied powers to drift Into a long and sanguinary war with an American republic It might be expedient that the mediation of the United States or a resort to arbitration should be speedily agreed upon. Again we reiterate the oft-repeated assertion of the national necessity of building and maintaining a navy equal at least In size and strength to that of the German empire. He Wouldn't lie There Anyway. Portland Oregonlan. The late Thomas B. Reed believed I., getting on with the public business, and did not believe in the custom of settlnjr apart a time for a solemn reading of obituary addresses In Congress. He considered it a foolish custom, saying that he thought "the survivors could show their resject for the dead in better ways than by voting themselves a day's idleness." When Thad Stevens, who, in his courage, his power of sarcasm and his pithy sieech, as well as his Imperiousness in debate, resembled Mr. Reed, was on his deathbed in Washington. Congressman Grlnnell. of Iowa, who was a clergyman, called on him and said: "When your death takes place .the House will, of course, take notice of the event. Have you any preference who among your old political friends should speak at this time?" Stevens replied: "I don't care a cuss who makes the speech, but I'm d d glad I shan't bo there to hear IL"
