New York, October 17. There was very little election betting on the curb Saturday, but in the small offering a change was indicated in "favor of Higgins in this State. The betting on the State situation was at 10 to 7, but Bunnell and Buchanan, betting commissioners, offered $4,000 to .$5,000, or 8 to 10, on Higgins, without getting a taker. A well known betting commissioner on the curb stated that he made a bet on Roosevelt with a stock exchange house of $2,000 to $050, which lowered the odds to 10 to 3, which prevailed before. George and John Considine handle nearly all the Tammany money ,which is brought to them through "Big Tim" Sullivan. Thev have placed very little so far, but announce that they will have plenty when the odds suit them better. Around the Hoffman House, which has always been a recognized betting center; at the aldorf-Astoria, headquarters of the western plungers, and at the Rossmore and Metropole ho tels, where the sporting element is wont to gather, there has not been as much as $15,000 wagered up to the present time.

Knights of Pythias at Indianapolis report that changes of unusual im

portance have been made in the general laws of the order, to become effective the first of November. Most important of these is the provision that all applicants for membership after that time must pass a medical examination and the plrycician's certificate must accompany their application. The order for the semi-annual pass-word is another thing that is to be abolished and in its stead an official receipt will now be used, the same as is done in a number of other secret orders. The law regarding transfer cards from one lodge to another is also changed and one dollar fee, heretofore eharged for this certificate, is abolished. Changes are also made in the laws governing expulsions for non-payment of dues. Pythians generally look upon the changes in the laws with much favor and believe they will prove of great benefit to the order. DAN REID According to Harry Starr, is Not in the Senatorial Race.
