"TIIE TRAGEDIANS UNDERSTUDY AGAIN." The Chicago Inter Ocean evidently docs not take seriously that Gary tramp who has gotten front page space in the Chicago newspapers, as well as more or less local advertising on account of his recitation of Hamlet's soliloquy In Justico Fitzgerald's court and his claim that he was once the understudy of the great tragedian, Edwin Uooth. The Inter Ocean has noted that the understudy crops out periodically in police courts nil over the country, the only change in his conditions helng the place in which he crops out and the identity of the actor, always defunct, whose understudy he was. His repertoire appears, to be somewhat limited and generally consists of the more or less hackneyed "solil," but its effect upon the police court hangers on, whether In the Four courts in St. Louis, or the Harrison street station in Chicago, the lVw street in London, or the Washingtan Market in New York is Identical. It has wrung tears since the understudy's checkered career began. The following is what the Inter Ocean has to say editorially this morning on this absorbing subject: "The tramp who in his better days was an understudy to a celebrated actor has again made his appearance, this time before Police Justice Fitzgerald of Gary, Ind. The incident, will, of course, give rise to the usual reminiscences among careful students and seasoned lovers of the drama. "One can almost hear the gentleman in the tightly buttoned Prince Albert saying to the gentleman in the English sack, in the foyer, before the curtain rises, something like this: "'Ves, although ho gave his name as John Doe, my dear fellow, I am firmly convinced that he is the same man. I first came across him in an interesting volume entitled. 'The Mysteries of the English Stage.' which devoted a chapter to the recital of well authenticated instances in which this man we will call him, for convenience's sake, John Doe, for he can be no other turned up as an understudy to the most eminent historic artists of the times. I think It was In the Old Bailey, along about 1782, that John Doe. who was arrested as a person having no visible means of support and no possible place of abode, declared to the police magistrate that he had once been an understudy to the immortal Garrick, and in proof of It repeated Hamlet's soliloquy in such a manner as to bring tears from the eyes of the very baliffs. And now wo find him reciting Hamlet's soliloquy before Justice Fitzgerald of Gary. Ind. I tell you, sir. this Is passing strange.' "Or like this: "'Indeed, I recall, as If it were only yesterday, hearing my. grandfather tell how John Doe enlisted the sympathy of all English speaking people by standing before the How. street police court in 1811 that he had once been an understudy to the great Macready. and in proof of it reciting Hamlet's soliloquy. A subscription was taken up for him which ran into several hundred pounds, but nothing was heard from him again, until along In 1S30, when ho appeared before the "Washington Market police court in New York. It was on this occasion that he confessed to having once been an understudy to Charles Kean, and consented, after much pressing, to recite Hamlet's soliloquy, which he did in such a manner as to cause a wave of sympathy to flow toward him from all lovers of the drama. It was years before I saw him again. This was in the Four courts, St. Louis, where he admitted that he had once been an understudy to the elder Dooth, and where I heard him recite Hamlet's soliloquy as I had never heard It recited before, and as 1 never expect to hear It recited again. And now, so they tell me, he has acknowledged before Justice Fitzgerald of Gary, Ind., that he once acted a. an understudy to Edwin Dooth. I should like to have been present when he recited Hamlet's soliloquy. I'll bet he did It with great effect.' "Or like this: "'What! John Doe! Why, you don't tell me that old Doe Is around again? Do you mean the John Doe who was once understudy to Edwin Forrest, Booth. Barrett, McCullough, Keene, and all the great tragedians of the last generation, and who is expecting every minute to be called to the support of Mantell? Well, well. Many a time and oft, Horatio, have I heard him recite Hamlet's soliloquy, and always in such a manner as to get what he felt was coming to him. The last time I saw him was at a Ben Greet al fresco Shakespearean revival, when lie took me into the depths of the underbrush and said: 'It Kicks as if it was all up with me. I will never be able to tell in the long years to come that I was understudy to the ham who is playing Hamlet here. It won't do. Give me a quarter and let me go drown myself. , "All such incidents all such espisodes as this must naturally be of the deepest interest to the uplifter of the drama, the elevator of the stage, for they prove that there is an indissoluble link between the past and the presem; that, although apparent changes may occur from year to year in this particular field of art. there is one cord that responds to thy subtle touch of John Doe through, all the ages. "Let us. then, take on new hope, new courage for the future. As long as John Doc can move police courts to tears with Hamlet's soliloquy there is no reason why any of us should give way to despair." . HAMMOND NOT A POOR CHURCH FIELD.

The Valparaiso Vidette has taken occasion to cast aspersions upon Hammond as a field .for religious work. It lias been pointed out by the paper In question, that three ministers in this city have resigned of late and that another is about to resign, an, I the idea is advanced that if Hammond was a fruitful field there woull be fewer resignations among the clergymen. The facts, however, do not bear this out. In the first place, the "resignations" referred to in the Vidette. were not all resignations. One of the ministers, Ilev. L. S. Smith, formerly of the Methodist church of this city, referred to in the Vidette article, was transferred by the recent conference, in the regular order of chance U .M prevails in this denomination, in the second place, if the Vidette will canvass the situation it will find that the work of all the churches in Hammond, with probably not a single exception, is progressing most t-'atisfartorily. At least one handsome new church has been built in Hammond, and several now contemplated will soon become realities, large sums haUng been donated outright and pledged to carry on the work when the time shall be ripe. Congregations have doubled within the past few years in some of the churches, while all have witnessed a steady increase in this regard. That Hammond preachers are leaving this field signifies nothing unusual

FIGHT20 BOUNDS Tommy Burns and Gunner Moir in International Contest Tonight. BOUT AT THE NATIONAL CLUB Much Excitement Amongst Londoners Burns a 5 to 4 Favorite. London, Dec. 2. Tommy Burns, one of the greatest heavyweight fighters of America, and champion by courtesy, will meet Gunner Moir, tho English champion, in a twenty round bout before the National Sporting club here tonight. The match is exciting tremendous interest, and Is expected to be the best battle of the heavies fought in England in many years. Marquis of Queonsberry rules will govern the contest and five ounce gloves will bo used. Besides the title of champion, $5,000 in prize money has been hung up and there will be a side bet of considerable proportions. Against all precedent, and in compliance with Burns' request, a sportsman not connected with the club has been chosen as referee. Burns is a 5 to 4 favorite over Moir. Both men are known as rushing fighters with plenty of gameness and stamnia. Moir has been in the ring several years, and has won all of his fights with comparative ease, while Burns ring achievements are still fresh in the minds of the public. Moir Never Forced to Limit. It is claimed Moir has never met a man against whom he was forced to extend himself, and that when he faces Burns the Canadian-American will be obliged to use all his skill and generalship to withstand the Englishman's rushes. Moir will weigh about ISO pounds, and Burns 170. Moir is 5 feet 10 inches, while Burns is two and onehalf Inches shorter than the Englishman. Moir also has the advantage in reach. "I will knock out Gunner Moir in a few rounds," declared Tommy Burns today; Burns shows by his conversation that he is confident of defeating the Englishman, but he is not going into the ring overconfident. "I know that I will have to try all the time," he concluded, "but I never felt so fit in all my life, and I wish the fight was to be held right now. I have gotten along very well over here; the climate has not knocked me out a bit, and I am not going into the ring feeling 'cocky,' but am going to try to win quickly, for I fully believe I can." Bui-hh Does I.lxbt Work. Burns is taking only light exercise in the gymnasium. Tommy continues the favorite notwithstanding the disparity in weight and the fact that Moir is two and one-half inches taller and has a longer reach. English critics say that Moir is 'cow hoofed." He is slow, and Burns expects to get in a damaging punch while his opponent is thinking about getting "set." The fight has excited the greatest of interest and tickets are being resold from $30 to $70. SUMMARY OF SATURDAY SPORT. Football Naval Cadets defeat the army football team at Philadelphia, 6 to 0.

PLAN A RACE COURSE FROMO. TO PARIS French Autoist Says His Machine Can Cross Three Continents. OVER SEA STRAITS ON ICE Hardest Part of Long Journey Expected in the Run on the Long Siberian Plains. Paris, Dec. 2. Details were announced yesterday of the international automobile endurance run to be. made from New York to Paris. The route of the run will be laid from New York City across the American continent to the northwest portion of Alaska, thence over the frozen Boring straits, across the vast plains of Siberia, through Russia, and thence down through Europe to Paris. The date of the start will be set some time early in the spring probably in the latter part of February. First Hardships on Yukon. This route, the promoters of the race declare, will not be so hard to negotiate as at first appears to the uninitiated. The first hard travel Is 'expected in the Yukon district, the northwestern police route through the western part of the dominion of Canada affording good travel. Once across the Alaskan boundary, however, the drivers will face hardships on the frozen and badly rutted tracks. The early start from New York will allow the racers to reach the Bering straits, according to schedule, before the ice has had time to melt and this will afford firm travel, to the Siberian coast. Then comes the real test in the run across frozen and practically uninhabited plains. Great Troubles in Siberia. For hundreds of miles at this stage of the trip the enthusiasts will be forced to carry all of their supplies, including fuel enough to run the machines for weeks at a time. The tundras of the north are practically pathless and must be negotiated with care, as they at times become treacherous and may allow the machines and drivers to sink into bogs, especially If the travelers are delayed until the partial thaws of the spring arrive. With the passing of the Ural mountains, the hardest part of the journey will be passed, and the drivers will enter into the final stage of the run, that across Russia and on to the well made roads of central and western Europe. Knowing the dangers to be faced and the hard knocks the autos must stand on the trip, the local makers have nogun the building of special conveyances to meet the difficulties. Dion Tells of Machine. Marquis de Dion will make several of these machines after thorough trials, the best to be selected to take part in the great contest. "The machine I am designing," he said, "will differ considerably from the one to which I pinned my faith in the Peking to Pari3 tour. This time I will depend on a thirty-four horse power machine, capable of a speed of twentyfive miles an hour, and also of running at a rate of only two or three miles. "The body will be perched on wheels of sufficient height to avoid all dangers of the motor touching the ground when deep .ruts are encountered an extra air cooled cylinders will be carried, as water is a cause of trouble through freezing. "I am also working out a system to warm the motor slightly at the time of starting, so the circulation of the oil will not be prevented by freezing. "Windlass to Escape Bogs. "On the front of the vehicle is a windlass worked by a motor, which will pull the machine out of a bad position without other assistance. The wheels have detachable rims and are supplied with extra large pneumatics for ordinary condition and wooden tires for snow and ice. The vehicle will be supplied with a leather hood and curtains In the form of a shelter tent. "As for the metal work, I know steel becomes brittle in low temperatures and I am now making a series of experiments in my laboratory with liquid air in hopes I may find a combination which will be the most resistant."

i Nature Versus Theory. Original. Arthur Engleman was a theorist. Among the subjects on which he held" original Views were love, marrlace and 1

divorce, lie believed that no marriage j w'tk' engagement at the Towie opera should take place without a mutual house rmight. lore, that no couple should live to- ? h,;s 'as,!1 -ir repertoire i (M. gether without perfect and uninter- i f t,f ul m'w I,l l!1- of which rupted harmony and that if such havlZ' TT!1 ",:v. nd

He proposed a sep-. a ration. Marjorie concealed the pang the nouncement cost her. She was a proud little woman too proud to hold a man who wished to be released. Besides, ! she had given a tacit assent to her j

Two considerations guided her. pride and a desire to shield the father of her child from blame. She gave out to her friends and acquaintances that she and her husband were of one mind on the important subject between them, that she fully assented to his plan to marry the "right" woman, and she would leave him that he might secure the necessary divorce on the ground of desertion. She ven went so far as to call upon Miss Shattuck and wished her much happiness with the man whose soul and hers were in such perfect harmony. The retiring wife fixed upon the Pacific coast for n residence. On the morning of her departure the husband, wife and son went to the station together, the child trudging along holding to his father's forefinger, all unconscious of the break in the home to which he had been born. Neither the man nor the woman spoke except of some matter connected with the journey. So great was the wife's self control that she appeared outwardly far more content with the change than her husband. Before leaving the car In which lie placed his family Engleman stooped to kiss his wife. She submitted to be kissed passively. Then he took his boy in his arms and held his lips to the child's cheek till the train started. "Goodby," said Marjorie. "Within a year he will have forgotten you." It seemed that some unseen being had touched Arthur Engleman's cheek with an icy finger, driving every vestige of color from It "Go! You will be too late." lie turned and hurried from the car. ne stood looking after the train, never moving until it had turned a curve; then he went to his home, ne found no one there, yet there seemed to be some one a spirit of loneliness. It was In the hall, the living room, the bedroom, everywhere. When he found it in his boy's crib the boy who was to forget him he gasped and gave a sharp cry. Then he remembered the woman who was to fill the void. She was not there, but her likeness was in the library. There he hurried for consolation. From Its frame on the wall above his desk, where he had often gazed at it with rapture, an ugly face looked out at him. Great heavens! Had he been dreaming? And was this all that was left of his dream? While he had been nursing his theory a bond had been slowly weaving itself about him the bond of family love. The consciousness of its existence, of its strength, had come upon him with the suddenness of a whirlwind. There was no deliberation, no reasoning, no baiting. His theory of marriage he saw vanishing in the distance like a kite with a broken string driven before a storm, mocking him with its fantastic motions With a blow he broke the glass that covered the square jaw of his "affinity" and rushed from the house. Twelve hours after Marjorie had reached her destination she was trying to nerve herself to unpack her trunk In the narrow room to be her home. She could only clasp her boy convulj sively when he asked when papa was coming. There was a sharp ring below, a rapid fire cf questions and answers and a quick footstep on the staircase. The next moment the door was thrown open and Arthur Engleman fknelt humbly before his wife. I TV" UiU Wft9 sposen. ms araruae. -'re expression on his race, ae- !

VOIXG BUFFALO, KIG OF THE WILU AVKST. v.......b, ocroj consiructeu melodrama, founded on western bor - der life, entitled, "Youg Buffalo, King! of the Wild West," by Charles E. Blaney. opened at the Calumet theater yesterday and will be presented every night until Thursday. "Young Buffalo' is a typical American hero, and ls surrounded by a congress of frontier characters of the sort that "shoot up" things when the notion strikes them, as well as manly, heroic kind that are the basis of considerable western novels. It is a play full cf snap, realism, aweinspiring scenic effects, and with all logical that is, full to the limit, with exciting situations and startling climaxes but yet within the lines of the possible. In fact, its author claims actual happenings as the basis of his plot. That is the play is more representative of true western and mining life than anything that l as been produced, and moreover, to produce It with the vividness and exactness that a play of the kind requires, he has even drawn some of the players from the regions where the scenes are laid. "Young Buffalo," the hero, is an actual resident of Arizona, a former miner and cowpuncher, who finally developed a genius for the stage with sufficient success to attract the notice of such a good judge of talent as Mr. Blaney. And that the latter has not erred in entrusting the leading part to Young Buffalo, none will gainsay. As a matter of fact Young Buffalo is endowed with the accomplishments of the better grade of legitimate actors, and In the play that Mr. Blaney offers h!ra
