Champion Ives took the lead in the b‘l- lard match at Chicago for $5,000 last night. His scoring $50 points on Wednesday night to sw by Schaefer put him within easy | striking distance of the wizard, his total being 1,513 to 1,600 when Wednesday night's | play endeds There was a much larger at- tendance of billiard lovers. More than 1,500 people had their eyes riveted on the green baize battle-ground of the champion and the wizard billiardist. F Schaefer left off Wednesday night with an unfinished run of 111 and ahead of Ives | by S7 points. The ivories Were in easy posi- tion td resume operations with the cues, and the wizard picked out S7 easily at the anchor nurse and open-table billiards. This gave him a run of 19S for the whole inning. Ives’ friends and backers were in the majority last night, and gave him all the applause he deserved for his brilliant play- ing. He kept abead of Schaefer on the night’s score, and by hard cushion and di- rect carom work piled up runs of 102, 206 and 120. His last break, made in the tenth mning, put him 57 points ahead of Schaefer on the grand total, the score standing 1,516 for the white and 1,759 for the black. The announcement of Ives’ lead was grati- fying to the spectators and put the wizard on his mettle, but it evidently was not his night to play billiards. After his first play Schaefer did not seem to be able to catch his stroke except in the fourth inning, when he made a break of 58, mostly at close range. In six innings his cue and skill combined only increased his score by 5 points, and his tmends began to look at him anxiously. Ives was in great form and showed by his superb execution in the sixteenth inning that he was a master at the art of billiard playing. Every conceivable kind of a shot was le by the cool, cale ing, machine-like player, and he came near breaking the great high run record of made by Schae- fer Wednesday night. As it was he rolled up 206 without having the bails at the anchor nurse any length of time. He ex- ecuted the first jump shot of the match along the rail as the oniy way out of a bad hole and was loudly cheer: Extremely difficult m d fine u features Was brought to an end by nis draw. It left him 374 points ahead of the wizard, however, the score standing tol Schaefer wore an anxious frown and con- tinued to play poorly. Schaefer did better toward the latter part of the game, and iinished i72 points bel ives.

Ex-President Harrison’s Tribute to His Former Associate. | MANY LEADING MEN PRESENT. VIROQUA, Wis., Nov. 24—A man of the people, one whose life was a constant ex- emplification of that grit and energy, that sterling honesty, that undaunted patriotism, that are part and parcel of the character- ictics of the typical American was borne to his last earthly home today. To the rugged yeomanry of Vernon county, to the tens of thousand of his Grand Army comrades of this and other commonwealths who knew and loved him he was simply “Uncle Jerry.” As to future generations that will know of the present through the pages of history, he is and will be known as Jeremiah M. Rusk, stage driver, soldier, governor, statesman. From the driver’s seat of a stage coach, covering his sixty miles a day for a bare to @ seat in the cabinet of a President of the republic—such a life is the first record of the man who was laid to rest today. Over the same road that he traversed with his stage nearly a half century ago the funeral car was followed today by men of eminence in the history of the nation, by veterans who wore the blue and followed him through the stirring days of the six- ties, by gray-haired men and women who had grown up with him from childhood, by little ones who well remember the cheery word and smile of “Uncle Jerry’ and the good-natured pat of his hand on their head for many a day to come. Not only to Viroqua, but to the whole of Vernon county, of which it is the county seat, it was a day of mourning. In this city the proclamation of Mayor Smith re- quiring a suspension of business for the day was scarcely necessary. By general consent the stores and schools were closed, the transaction of business in the municipal departments was suspended, all work save that of sheer necessity was laid aside, and | for the unusual number of people on Main street and the intersecting thoroughfares it might have been a Viroqua Sabbath. Coming to the Funeral. Soon after daybreak, despite the fact that the thermometer was at zero and that the turnpikes were heaped high with drifting snow, the farming and business folks of the adjacent townships began to arrive in carryalls, buggies, omnibuses, hacks and farm wagons. In the cars of the early morning train on the branch from Sparta and which picked up delegations at Cash- ton, Melvina, Westby and other towns, there was scarcely a foot of standing room. The train from Milwaukee, bringing ex- | President Harrison, ex-Attorney General | Miller, Senator Vilas and the ex-governors and ex-Senators of the state, reached the depot at 1: A large crowd had assem- bled, but beyond a general raising of hats as General Harrison stepped from the car ‘and crossed the platform, there was no demonstration of welcome or recognition. | Carriages were in waiting and while | Generals Harrison and Miller and Senator | Vilas were driven to the family residence to express their sorrow and sympathy to | the widow and bereaved family, the remain- | der of the party were taken directly to the | church, At the Church. All night long the nine faithful war com- rades of the dead had stood guard around the bier, and through the morning the re- mains rested in state while a steady stream of people from far and near passed around the bier. At 1:30 the doors of the little church were closed, in order that the interior might be arranged for those whom it was specially desired should participate in the tinal ex- ercises, the presence of the general public impossible, owing to the limited fa- cilities. Generals Harrison and Miller reached the church a few moments before 2 o'clock. | Both were visibly affected as they looked | upon the face of their former friend and | associate. A few moments later Senator Vilas, As- sistant Secretary of Agriculture Hdwin | Willits, ex-Senators Angus Cameron, Saw- yer and Johm C. Spooner, ex-Governors |Hoard and Fairchild, Supreme Court Jus- | tice John B. Cassidy, Gen. Fred Winckler and Henry C. Payne of Milwaukee, and | Wallace G. Collins, entered the church two |and two. These, with the ex-Attorney Gen- eral, composed the honorary pall-bearers. After passing around the bier, they were seated to the right of the center aisle. | The members of the family and near rel- atives of the deceased were the next to reach the edifice. The widow leaned upon tht arm of Col. L. J. Rusk. Following them came Blaine and Mary Rusk, Charity Rusk | Craig, daughter of the general and her husband; his brother, Hon. L. Rusk, and a nephew, James M. Rusk of Malta, Ohio; 'Mrs. M. Nichols and another nephew, ibert J. Rusk and the members of Col. | Rusk’s and the Craig families. ext in the entering procession were the active pall-bearers, one and all of whom had served in the dead general's regiment, | the twenty-fifth Wisconsin. | Gov. Peck, with the present and ex-state ofticials, was seated on the rcstrum aisle, | immediately to the left of the family. Little space now remained and the few vacant were speedily occu- pied by the immediate neighbors of the Rusk homestead and representative mem- bers of the Knight Tempiars, Blue Lodge, Grand Army, and other delegations. Opening the Services, When all had been seated and the doors | were closed, the service was opened with | the singing of the familiar hymn, “Just as |1 am, without one plea, but that Thy blood was shed for me, O God, I come.” It was rendered by a home quartet of friends and neighbors. The chureh does not boast of a grand organ—in fact the interior is little larger than the modern instru- ment of fashionable edifices, and so the hymn was sung to the accompaniment of a small cottage organ. As the final notes died away the venerable Dr. Nuzum, who has seen nearly four score years’ of service in the cause of his Mas- ter as a preacher of the Methodist per- suasion, ascended the rostrum, and with uplifted hands besought the divine mercy and support for the bereaved. He dweit upon the life and services to the nation of the dead man, and prayed that many more jmisht be moved to paitern after his ex- ample. “Lead, Kindly Light,” was rendered by the quartet, and then ‘Dr. J. D. Butler of Madison, a” preacher of the Congregation- alist faith, arose to deliver the funeral ser- mon, The Funeral Sermon. It was one of the last wishes of the de- ceased that his old friend should perform this service, and, despite his eighty and more years of life and his enfeebled condi- tion, he had journeyed by easy stages from the state capital to the end that the re- quest might be fulfilled. Stepping close upon the edge of the rostrum, with shaking limbs and hesitation of speech, the vener- able man of God looked down upon the con- gregation and read as his text the seven- teenth verse of the forty-eighth chapter of the book of Jeremiah: “All they that are about Him bemoan Him, and them that know His name say how is the strong staff broken and the beautiful rod.” “These words,” said Dr. Butler, “befit a man much lamented and much’ beloved: much lamented because he was greatly loved. “I see before me a former President of this great republic, one of his constitu- tional advisers, men who preceded and followed him as chief executive of this com- monwealth. What more can testify to the feeling of our countrymen that a great man has fallen? You have come together in this place, remote as it is from the great commercial and industrial centers, to bury him, to pay the last honors to him, to give your heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family. “This is the third time that 1 have used this text at a public funeral. The first time was half a century ago in Vermont, at the obsequies of Col. Ransom of the New sland regiment, who was killed in the 2ttle of Chapultepec, and whose remains were brought home for burial to the vil- | son, who rode with Col. Henry Casson, the sustenance on turnpike, successive honors | lage where he and I were classmates to- gether. The next time was in the Wiscon- sin state capitol over the remains of Theo. Reed, who was killed in a desperate en- deavor—largely successful in the opinion of Gen. Grant—to stop the escape of Gen. Lee. God saved our friend at that time, although there was daily danger that the remains of Jeremiah Rusk would likewise be brought home. He had a grander serv- ice for him in peace than in war. What that service has been you all know by heart.” And so, now full of the fire of eloquence, now talking in a conversational tone, the aged divine rambled on. He concluded with a fervent prayer, and after the hymn, “Lead Me, Savior,” pronounced the bene- diction, Taken to the Cemetery. The mourners withdrew and for a few moments the relatives were left alone with the dead. Then the casket was closed and borne to the hearse and the procession mov- ed to the local cemetery, a mile distant. It was headed by an escort of members of Robert Macoy Commandery of Knights Templar of Madison, where the deceased was a member. Then came the hearse, drawn by four coal black steeds, their heads surmounted with ostrich plumes. Following were carriages occupied by the honorary pallbearers, the members of the family and relatives, ex-President Harri- late general's private secretary; Gov. Peck and state officials, Knights Templar and other Masonic bodies, the Loyal Legion, members of the Grand Army, Odd Fellows and citizens on foot and in carriages. The entire procession was nearly a mile in length. The Masonic funeral ritual. was repeated at the grave by Mayor Smith, Worshipful Master of LaBelle Lodge of Viroqua, of which deceased was a member. metal shell, was lowered into the grave. A salute was fired by a detail of Grand Army veterans, the earth was shoveled ere te Prete eee heehee M. Rusk, is life, death and bu had passed into history. ee MATCHED FOR $22,000. Largest Stakes Ever Put Up to Be Played for by Ives und Schnefer. CHICAGO, Nov. 24.—The biggest match at billiards ever made was consummated at 1 o'clock this morning. Jacob Schaefer was matched to play Frank C. Ives, sixty days hence, one game of 500 points at cushion caroms for an aggregate stake of $22,000. The game was made at Lee Mayer's New- Port club rooms, and the whole affair, in- volving more money than was ever con- tested for on a billiard table, was arranged inside of twenty minutes. Immediately after the contest at Central Music Hall last night a crowd of sports went to the Newport. Lee Mayer, one of Schaefer's backers, was of the number, us was Abe Levy, who has been betting heav- ily on Ives. The men began to banter each other on the respective merits of their men as billiard players, and, 4s arguments of this sort frequently do, the discussion be- came heated. ‘Ives can beat Schaefer and not half said Levy. I'll play Schaefer against him for as much money as anybody cares to bet,” 1¢- torted Mayer, “if you'll let me name the game.” | “Name it,” quietly suggested Levy. ‘Cushion carom: said Mayer. ‘That's agreeable. “I'll back Ives for $1,000, against Schaefer, and will bet you $5,000 on the side.” ‘ Mayer accepted both propositions, and a/ forfeit of $1,000 was posted then and there. | “I'M bet $5,000 more on Ive: remarked | vy. “I'll take that much on Schaefer,” put in | Dick Roche, who had been called ‘in. ‘This bet, too, was sealed, and then all parties agreed that the men should play one game of 500 points, sixty days from date, the win- ner to take the whole of the $22,00) and the | total gate receip' “It's the biggest thing of its kind in the history of the sport,” said Tom Gallagher, standing by, and so it is, for nothing »p- proximating it has ever come up. The match was made without prejudice to the | game now on between the men or the two | triangular tournaments in which the men | are booked for New York and Chicago. > DENISON’S TERROR ON TRIAL. Dick Edwards, Charged With Murders of May 17, 1892. SHERMAN, Tex., Nov. 24.—Dick Edwards Was put on trial in the district court here yesterday for his life and considerable prog- ress was made in what was expected to develop a most sensational case. The au- thorities assert that they will be able to prove Edwards guilty of three mutders of Women and an attempted murder, which terrorized Denison on the night of May 17, 1892, und horrified the entire country. The crimes were all committed between mid- night and 3 a.m:, and when the fourth was reported the militia was under arms. The first murder was that of Mrs. Dr. W. F, Haynes, wife of a prominent physician. While posses were being organized Maud Kraemer, an inmate of a house of ill-fame, was shot and killed by an assassin. Soon after Rose Steward, the inmate of another house of ill-fame, was shot and | seriously wounded by an assassin outside her window, The fourth victim of the awful night was ee Hawley, a lovely girl of excellent amily. Edwards was arrested in West Superior through the medium of a_letter he had claimed to have mailed in New Mexico to the Denison chief of police, confessing all the crimes. | the | —>__ MULEY ARAF’S MISSION FAILS. The Sultan’s Brother Unable to Per- sunde the Riffs to Stop Fighting. LONDON, Nov. 24—A special dispatch from the United Press correspondent at} Melilla, coming by way of Malaga, states) that Muley Araf, the sultan’s brother, who was sent to put an end to the Riff rising against the Spaniards, was accompanied to the Spanish lines by only 200 horsemen, He had not yet been able to secure from the Riffs a promise to stop fighting. In the meantime a truce continues and practically no shpts have been exchanged for two days. The Riffs continue to make trenches in the vicinity of Fort Sadiguairach, one of the Spanish outposts, while at the same time the Spaniards are pushing their in- tended éncampment works nearer the Riff lines. ‘Two more regiments of infantry have ar- rived at Melilla, and the force there now numbers about 17,000. —— VIOLENCE FROM STRIKERS. The First Di y of Physical Force Made in the Lehigh Fight. AUBURN, N. Y.. Nov. 24.—The first act of violence known to have been committed by an actual striker on the Lehigh occurred late yesterday evening. It was upon the re- turn of the train from the north. Sheriff ‘Wethey and four deputies were aboard, and the trip north was made without incident except that the train was greeted with cheers at all the stations where the inhabi- tants had been cut off from mail and sup- plies for several days. When the train reached this city on the return trip the guard was reinforced by several deputies. During the switching Cornelius Barry, a freight brakeman on the Lehigh, attempted to leap on the platform of a passenger coach. The deputy on guard claims Barry threatened to pummel the trainman. He refused him admittance and a struggle en- sued, in which Barry struck the deputy with his fist. He was put off the train and after- ward arrested on charge of misdemeanor. After Engineer Golber had been hit with a stone yesterday the guard was redoubled and no further violence occurred. The assault on Engineer Golber has frightened many from going to work. eee PANIC IN A TENEMENT. Inmates Driven Out by Fire Early This Morning. NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—Fire from an un- known cause started at 1:45 this morning in the five-story brick tenement, 802 9th avenue. Three women, two children and one man were injured. Mrs. McCabe was severely burned about the hands and head and will probably die. ‘The house contained many tenants, and when the alarm of five was raised there was a scene of wild excitement. —— The rumor that the Marquis of Dufferin will be appointed ambassador at Washing- ton is not generally believed in London. Count Potocki, the imperial cup bearer, a high position at the Russian court, died yesterday in St. Petersburg. ‘The conversion of the French 4 1-2 rentes will be effected at the rate of 3 for 6) with @ coupon of 90 centimes. | The trial and GIVING OUT REPORTS. New Departure of the Administration on Departmental News. Secretaries’ Reports Not to Be Given Out Prior to the President’s Mes- sage—Holding Back News. Although it may not be intentional, the fact remains that the present administra- tion is gradually closing all the regular channels of information concerning the business of ‘the various executive depart- ments. Heretofore newspaper men have re- ceived every facility in the performance of their duty of keeping the public informed of the doings of the executive departments on all questions affecting the general welfare of the country. Now, however, the work of obtaining information of even the most ordinary routine character is accomplished with as much difficulty as formerly attend- ed the unraveling of a highly impo-tant State secret. The natural resuit is that the public is frequently kept in ignorance of official actions that are of vital interest,and the publication of which would be a benetit to the administration. Their suppression is possibly the result of an apprehension that | they might prove unpopular. Either that or the officials are ashamed of their actions. The latest innovation in this regard is in connection with the publication of the an- nual reports of the heads of the executive departments. For many years past these reports have been given out fo> publication in advance of the President's annual mes- sage to Congress. The practice was based on the well-grounded theory that they lost their interest from a news standpoint after the publication of the President's message, which usually contains a complete epitome of their contents, whe-eas if they were | made public in advance of the message, they would secure a good publication in ail the newspapers of the country, without in the least detracting from the comments thereon in the President's message. in this way the public may get iaccs about the business of the departments that they can | get in no other way. ‘The usual arrangements had been partly completed for the publication of the depart- mental reports in accordance with this cus- tom this year, and they were to have been | furnished in order, on different days, be-) tween now and the meeting of Cong-ess, when the President, after consultation with his cabinet, so, it is said, issued an order | that none of the reports should be made public until after his message had been transmitted to Congress. —_—__—_—__-_ - e+ ——__—_ MAKING STRICTER REGULATIO: wz the Rules Governing Odicers | f the Revenue Murine. | Those who were sorry to sce Capt. | Mitchell of the revenue marine service, | Rev: who was recently tried for scandalous con- | duct, escape with what they ccnsidercd an easy sentence may be pleased to Know that hereafter an oificer of that service who transgresses and is fount guilty will probably not be let down so tighily.

Everyone Can Find Just What He Wants in Tomorrow's Big Star. The Star tomorrow afternoon, as is usual now on Saturday, will appear in mammoth twenty-page form. As usual, also, it will be an interesting and valuable number. The recent addition to its size makes possible a sreater amount of space devoted to general articles of real literary worth. There is no doubt that this is appreciated by the read- ers of the paper and no effort will be spared at any time to make the Saturday Star a mine of information, interest and entertain- ment with crticles, stories and special fea- tures so varied in subject and style as to isfy every taste. If the reatler be interested in scientific matters ie will find much that is in his line; if his thoughts take a political turn he will find raore than a little writtea for him; the news in the local field of religious and ; church work will be spread out before him; young men, 2 d ol ones, too, who like to on the foot ball field and their needs attended to and the women who follow the rac ia want 1 track wi fir ractive rs of will enjoy th style: terest to their sex alone ith of good things dished up for toem in the way of fas ‘ion articles, tS on home life and novelties for the th all this, the regular new: = A however, callc¢ S of the day of regulatio! it as of Course, not be neglected.

The Annual Session of the Association | of Baptist Churches Closes. ‘The successful three da: session of the | Columbia Association of Beptist Churches at the Calvary Church, Sth and H streets, closed last evening with one of the largest | meetings of the entire series, The session | was devoted to the young people and was | in charge of the chairman of the young | people's committee, Mr. M. M. Shand. A half hour was devoted to brief talks from the pastors and under the direction of Mr. P. S. Foster short taiks were elicited from all the pastors present. An address wa delivered by Rev. E. T. Tomlinson of Elizabeth, N. J., on the work of young peo- ple, and the closing time was devoted to a consecration meeting. After adopting reso- | lutions of thanks to the officers and to the | press, the association adjourned to meet next year in the Second Church. At the afternoon session the discussion of | the report on temperance was continued, and the report, as printed in yesterday's Star, was adopted, with an amendment of- fered by Mr. Clapp, protesting against our government participating in the profits of the liuor traffic. The resolution was di- rected to be sent to Congress. The move- ment to have the international convention of the Christian Endeavor Society held in this city in 189 was indorsed. A resolution was adopted approving the work which is being done by the Central Union Missioa. A compliment was paid to the ladies of the Calvary Baptist Church who have en- tertained the delegates and the visitors at luncheon during the sessions of the associa- tion by a protest which was made at the elaborate character of the luncheons pro- vided at these annual gatherings,the ground being taken that as the meetings were heid at the different churches a pace might be set in this particular that it would be dif- ficult for some of the weaker churches to maintain. —————— Lectures Before the Night High School A course of lectures will be delivered to the boys of the night high school in the Miner building, corner 17th and Madison streets, during the winter.
