CENTURY RUNS ARBANGED. An Alabama Fight. Some time ago five wheelmen of Birming- bam, Ala., members of the League of American Wheelmen, en route to Montgomery on their | bicycles, were unlawfully detained all night at the ferry opposite Montgomery by reason of the refusal of the ferry company to carry them | across the Alabama river. Suit was entered by the Alabama division of the league in bebalf of these members and judgment given in their favor, the case being appealed by the owners of the ferry. On & recent visit to Philadelphia Mr. W.

C.—The Status of the Boating Question in the Co- Jambia Cluab—Carroll Institute Will Flour- ish in Athletics—Other News. oe THLETICS AND sports in this city are about to pass from the winter orindoor variety to the spring or out- door. In this transi- tion which comes each year there is always a great deal of speculation as to the outlook for the various teams to be placed in the field, as well as the several branches of athletics which each club will support. What the local amateur base ball league will accomplish, the chances for a good and profitable season in the sculls and shelis on the river and the work of; the fleet-footed sprinters of the cinder track are all matters of discussion. Bat in it all there is only conjecture and little outside of the table talks which occur in the club rooms and in whichthe stories of last year’s conquests and defeats are again gone over has been done toward the make up of the teams. The Georgetown University and the Y. M. C. A. are in fairly good shape, while the Columbia Athletic Club will be able to get up a team, but from the expression made by players ‘who were interested in that team last year there does not seem te be any great spirit of enter- prise among them and unless somé the matter in hend at once and devotes his entire attention to it there is little chance that much will be accomplished or that even any sort of a team will be placed in the field. The club is also handicapped by the fact that they have no athletic grounds at present and the prospects of getting them are not any brighter than they were some months ago. AT CARROLL INSTITUTE, At present the base ball affairs of the Carroll Institute are at a standstill, but alittle differ- ence of opinion which now exists among the players will probably be amicably arranged and the institute place @ team in the field which will do them credit. Mr. F. A. Armstrong Will, in all probability, have charge of their team, and it is only just that he should do so. He managed the nine last ye ing of this year hada team pi would have shown up fairly well, but some dif- ficulty arose and for the present the matter at a standstill. ‘Ihe teum which he had work was as follows: Daily, catcher; Frisby and Ogle, pitchers; Lewis, first base; Guista, third base; Oliver, second base; Sach, short stop, and Armstrong, Hannon and Loweraft in the field. OPENING THE SEASON. The season of amateur base ball will prob- ably be opened with the match between the Y. M.C. A. and the crack Yale team. The game is scheduled for the 3ist of March, and nothing but bad weather will cancel the arrangements. {tis expected that the match will attract a great deal of attention locally, because it will give the public an opportunity ‘of gauging the ability of the wearers of the blue for this year, and, at the same time, the prospects of the Y. Easter Monday. Mr. Terry, the racer who | auspices of the Concord Bicycle Company and made so many good records, will participate, | managed by Mr. Crapo himself.

MG A. have practiced faithfully in the gumnasium, getting their hands hardened and loosening up their muscles, so that when they are finally | able to get out on the diamond they will be in @ fairly good condition. Of course the team cannot be stated positively at this time. But it is not likely that there will be very many changes in the following: O'Hagen, catcher or first base: Fuller, second base: John- son, third base: Burdette, short stop: Hodge. right, and Handford in the field, with Fitzhugh | and Cauliflower to do the twirling. ‘Most of these men were members of last year's team, which made such an excellent record for the association. and with last year's training and their practice this season they ould turn out a superior nine to the one which represented them last year. ‘The association will retain for this season the sarze ground that they had last year, at the corner of I7thand U sireets. It is proposed, howeve=, to resurface the diamond with clay and generally improve the condition of the field. ‘The Georgetown College team will probably be one of the best ever organized in this cit and should be able “to pisce in field a which will imeet very favor- ably with any college team in the couniry. A good schedule of g<mes heretofore printed in ‘Tue Stan have been arranged, and the willing- ness of the faculty to allow the team to mike trips away from the city will no: only improve | tho | this branch of athletics, as the men who are now willing will lose heart. ‘The intermediate eight is the only one that the club has to de- on now, as the old senior crew is prac- out of date, The arrangements for the pool and billiard tournament which it was intended to hold at the Columbia Club have beenabandoned for the it owing to the death of the father of .

One Being Built on Puget Sound to Be Operated by Storage Batteries. , ‘The Port Defiance street railway is building 8 fifty-six-foot storage battery electric steamer, named Mount Tacoma, to be pnt on the Gig Harbor and Floating Drydock route in contiec- tion with its street car line, says pecial from Tacoma, Wash. The steamer is experimental, but the inventor, Nick Lawson, is a very suc- cessful electrician and anticipates no special difficulty. The steamer will use a seventy-five- cells storage battery for twelve hours’ service, each cell being fifteen inches deep and fourteen by fourteen inches in area. She will have no other ballast than the battery, which will be be- keelson. Everything, ineluding the motor. will j passengers. The battery is to be charged at night from trolley wires, She will have a breadti of beam of ten feet, adepth of four d will be built fora regular speed of fifteen miles an hour, which can be made twenty The steamer is to be the precursor of a number to be placed on Puget sound routes. Only two small boats of the kind are now in existence. Owing to their build the boate are | not to be put on outside routes where the water is rough. The boat is to be housed but this wil! be so arranged that every- thing except an awniag can be removed. She t fifteen persons, in railroad car seats. Construction on the hull is well under way and she will be launched about the Ist of July. As the boat will be without danger from explosion, but one man, the pilot, will be needed in charge. ‘The inventor considers his invention revolu- tionary. He has been at work on the project for the past two vears, and hax made improve- ments in ceils, ‘The electric boats are to be run as feeders to the-street car line. ‘They will start from Port Defiance Park, one of the most beautifal natural parks on the contiuen:, and go to Vasson Island, calling at small towns for passengers and light freight, such as fru:t, As the entire soand shore is settling up rapidiy, A GIRLS AMBITION.

There is not » girl in the world who is not millionaire.” Of course he is a fabulous person; he don’t exist at all, her senses would look at him twice, he would either be such an arrant snob or such « goody- goody that he would be perfectly unbearable.

If that is so it volumes for that novelist’s looks, We all know him—Gibson’s young man, I mean. He is tall, of course, and has a shock of hair, strong features. a mouth of perfect shape, unadorned by mustache or beard; that is, he is smooth- ced and just my idea of what a millionaire should be. Of his mental qualities I am not quite eure, but I’m inclined to think that he always says the right thing at the right time, which is» blessing. He is not a frivolous per- son atall; in fact, his mind rans to law and study. You find him sometimes, but alae! he 1s always poor and is himself looking for a millionaires. Now, the number three is prosaic. He is chosen by worldly damsels who are devoid of sentiment, but he is very nearly unattaigable. There are plenty of him about. THE CRABBED OLD ARISTOCRAT. He is the crabbed old aristocrat with one foot in the grave, The greatest objection to him is that the second foot won't go in, except in books. In real life he hangs on forever and simply will not die. And the way be guards his cash and his wife are something frightful. Of course the damsel knows just what he is like before she enters the bonds of matrimony, but the doctors all say he cannot live, so she looks forward to beink a gay widow, but'as I said the old gentleman finds the position of ““one foot in and the other foot out” pretty comfortable and objects to change. The greater part of the time it ends in his burying his wife and marry- ing again. To be a beautiful princess and to wed a hand- some shepherd is ali well enough, but the kind of fairy story which finds preference with the fin de siecle maiden is the pretty shepherdess who captures the prince.

Tonight the sporting circles of the city will tests to be held at the Columbia Athletic Club. ‘The sport will undoubtedly be of the best sort that the patrons of the ring in this city have had an opportunity to see for some years, Though the contestants are amateurs in the professional adaptation of the word they are hot such should @ knowledge of the gloves be taken asa basis. Ali of them are keen, skillful the fights are expected to be sharp Each of the sparrers is in it for giory, and they will fight for it in a way that will make the blood tingle. There will be nine bouts, the official Lae ap being as follows: 105-pound class, Oswald of Wynnewood vs. McCall, Warren A.

Senator Teller, who has already given notice of his intention to take steps to cause the inter- natioual monetary conference to reconvene at Brussels, was asked for his opinion respecting the declaration of the chancellor of the e: cheauer in the house of commons yesterday that the British deiegates would be instructed to oppose every bimetalist scheme presented at the conference. ‘The Senator eaid the declara- tion meant that Great Britain would absolutely oppose free coinage of silver gn terme of equality with gold. That was what she had always done, and nobody expected her to do any more at this time. But there was nothing in this position irreconcilable with the attain- ment of the object of the conference, namel; The extended use of silver as a money metal. In fact, there was evidence to show that Great Britain really desired to do something in that direction. Her financiers realized the necessity for some palliative measure—something to pre- vent the further depreciation of silver, which, if continued, must result in the total destrac- tion of the present monetary system. If that occurred the future of silver wouid be assured, but nobody wished to adopt such a heroic measure to achieve the desired result. He had no doubt that England would be willing to sup- port a reasonable proposition that was more Practicable than the Rothschild scheme, this need. Construction of other steamers will | send them io'me, It would he reai easy for my | husband, tco, because the only thing I'd want of him would be to furnish me money and to keep out of the way. I would keep my chil- Gren locked in a wing ‘of the house with a nurse apiece and a governess. Nobody would ever of them and I would about forget myeelf that they existed. Oh! dear; there goes my bootince, broken right where it ‘will show. ust wait till [marry my millionaire and my bootlaces won't break.” Exactly what effect being wed to a million- aire would have on the breakability of shoe- | strings I could not see, but I was thinking what a jewel of a wife the wealthy gentleman would get if he would only take the young lady on the floor—with such a personification of maidenly qualities. Ican only wonder that every bloated | Dondholder on earth ie not at ner feet.

It is mostly nonsense that they are talking and way down deep in the bottom of their hearts they cherish an ideal of bliss which is about likely to be realized as is the millionaire dream; it does not show itself often, but is covered up bya mantle of worldliness. Sometimes it is told to a dearest friend in strictest confidence gud = fumes broken bits of conversation ia er or frequent hummings of songs with “his” name in them give away the secret, Of course she denies it and swears that she never thinks of a soul besides marrying that rich man or of being an opulent old maid. ‘This latter idea, by the way, has attractions for a good many girls. They never think of where the money is to come from that will make them wealthy maiden ladies, but they expect to get it left to them or to pick it up on the side- walk. You see there are some things in favor of this. To begin with, she 1s free and does not have to mind anybody, if she 1s single, and then—tradition to the contrary notwithstand- ing—old maids are not so unhappy in the midst of their and cats as people seem to thin. They have only themselves to think of, which is pleasant, though it may be selfish, But the great drawback is that people will say thats maiden lady isn't so from choice, and Sheth it So true or not, such remnarks are very defense, ig o ‘THIXGS GO BY CONTRARIES. ‘Things go by contraries pretty often.
