Interest in the Probable Winner of Southern Championship — The Showing Made by Several Players. The opening of the tennis tournament for the championship of the south on the grounds of the Bachelor Club, M street be- tween Connecticut avenue and 17th street, yesterday was not marked by any great excitement on the part of the public. In fact, the public did not attend the tourna- ment at all, and the absence would have been noticeable if it was not for the fact that it is the usual thing. Ever since ten- nis has been played here the interest has been confined to a small circle. With the exception of a few of the tournaménts held in the earlier years, crowds of spectators have never been a noticeable feature of these displays of expert skill, for in spite of the lack of encouragement on the part of the people and the want of the inspira- tion which comes from the commendation of frierds and the applause of spectators the tournaments held here, whether open | to players from abroad or not, have been marked by a good deal of fine playing. The | leading local players here are men who} have reached a commendable degree of proficiency in this really difficult game, | and it is to their credit that they have con- | tinued, in spite of the lack of local sym- pathy, their devotion to this sport. The tournament which was begun yester- day vas for the championship of the south in singles, and was therefore open to play- | ers from other parts of the country. Our local players were well represented, and Mr. John C. Davidson, who holds the cham- pionship of the District, has before him the Prospect of winning the southern cham- Pionship, and many of his friends, after noticing the style of piaying of some of the strangers, came to the conclusion that he stood a very good chance. Mr. Davidson, however, is not thought to be playing in his usual good form. He played two games yesterday, and made bis way to the third round. In his first geme he defeated Bid- dle in two easy sets, and in the second he met Mr. Morven Thompson, who played him a much stiffer game, but who finally lost the two sets. Thought to Be a Winner. The interest of the few spectators, as well as the players, was centered upon the style and effectiveness of the playing of Mr. Fischer and Mr. Parker, as it was appar- ent that they were the two leading players among the visitors. Mr. Parker met Mr. Smith of Baltimore, and in the two sets, which he won without difficulty, he dis- played considerable skill. Mr. Fischer was drawn in the preliminary round, and w: first pitted against Mr. Goodfellow of this city, whom he defeated, and then he met Mr. Bostwick. The latter played a strong game at first, but it was evident that he lacked bottom, and he could not maintain the game with which he had begun. Mr. Fischer in these two sets, which he won, Played a strong game, showing himself to be proficient in the art of placing and in covering his court. It is expected that the game between Messrs. Fischer and Hayes, if they should come together in the third round, will be warmly contested. An interesting game was the one played by Messrs. Thompson and Lieber. While the latter was defeated in two well-contested sets, he proved to be not only a graceful player, but one that is quite effective. In fact, the contest between these two players was marked by a finish and ease and grace which characterizes the play of tennis experts. The Games as Scored. The playing was begun at 3 o'clock, as will be the case each day until the tourna- ment is complete. All the games in the preliminary and the first round were played with one exception, and also one game in the second round. The schedule for this afternoon places the players as follows in the second round: Lansdale h either Clark or Shield; Hayes of Johns Hopkins with Parker of New York; Fischer of New York with Pen- nington of Baltimore. In the third round Fischer will meet Davidson, and the winner will probably meet Parker in the final. The scores of the games were as follows: First round, P. S. Lansdale beat O. M. Mc- Cammon, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1; S. T. Hayes beat J. Clay, 6-3, 6-2; W. G. Parker beat Harry Smith, 6-0, 6-0; E. P. Fischer beat J.-€. Goodfellow, 6-3, 6-2; O. M. Bostwicic beat H. B.

Thinks the Washingtons Will soon Begin to Win. Today's Philadelphia Press says: Gus Schmelz, the manager of the Wash- ington team, though somewhat bruised, is still in the ring. “Billy” Barnie once ob- served that the manager of a losing team was a shining mark for the base ball crit- ics, and at the present writing “Gus” oc- cupies the place recently occupied by Sweet William. Speaking of the recent ill-show- ing of the team Mr. Schmelz ‘da last night: “That we are up in the air is ap- parent,. but we are bound to get into our stride. Of course the umpire cry is a ch hut, but at the same time we, as a losing organization, are bound to get the worst of it—on the principle that a slice off a cut lcaf is never missed. Umpire Stage, for instance, called one of the Brooklyn games in the sixth'inning, when we were hitting their pitchers harder than they were ours, on account of darkness, when, as a matter of fact, we could have played the game out. Then the game that he gave to Brooklyn by forfeit; nobody dreamt—not even the Breokiyn players—that Stage was going to forteit the game, but in his effort to be straight over the rule he leaned backward. So it has gone all aiong the line. Lynch gave us an awful raw deal at home when j he declared Abbey out for being hit with a batted ball, when, as a matter of fact, the ball didn’t touch him. But make no mistake, the Senators will strike their ait, and when they do so, lookout.” The Philadelphia Times says: Manager Schmelz sjeaks in the highest terms of the way in which his team is being supported by the home people. The attendance so far has never been equaled in any other season, and, if they can only win a few games while away on this trip he is confident of a rousing reception when trey return to their own grounds to meet the first of the western contingent.

Carter Was Effective and the New Haven Boys Wo: Yale and Princeton met at New Haven yesterday for the first timé this season and Yale won by bunching hits off Altman.

It was sensational ball straight through, and such cheering and rending of the heav- ens as greeted the sixth and seventh in- nings Las seldom broken windows around the Yale field. Princeton outfielded Yale, | but Carter outclassed Altman, and this, with better stick work by the Elis, turned the day.

Six hits are credited to the Tigers to the ten off Altman. The outfields of both teams played beautifully, Keator of Yale carrying off the laurels with two phenomenal running catches. The Yale infleid did not play ax sharply as the Tigers’, but was steady and stronger than was expected.

They Meet in the Standard Stakes and the Result is a Surprise. In spite of the rain and the gale that was blowing from the northeast at least 5,000 people were at the Gravisen{ track yesterday. The track was sloppy, but much better than it looked. There was but one stake on the card, the Standard, and. al- though seven were colored in the pro- gram, all but two declined the issue. On the strength of his good rac2 in the Brooklyn handicap, Henry oi Navarre was a strong odds on favorite, and Don Alonzo made such a poor showing against Ed Kearney that he was almost friendless. When the flag fell they satied along to- gether, with Don Alonzo in the rail, and, to the surprise of everybody, the three- year-old made no uttempt to get the rail. Griffin should have known that the big colt would carry him out at the turns, and that was the result. Don Alonzo ran all the way with his mouth open, and when they swung into the stretc1 the three-year- old was carried out so far that he had no chance whatever. Don Alonzo won easily under a strong pull. The St. As ‘s Track, A contract was yesterday awarded for the erection of new stables and a grand stand and the building of a new track at the Gentlemen's Driving Park, near St. Asaph’s Junction, between this city and Alexandria, Va.

At 3 o'clock yesterday morning a locomo- tive tore down grade into the little town of Gaysport, Pa., conveying the warning that the Kittanning Point reservoir, five miles up the Allegheny mountains, the source of Altoona’s city water supply, and in which 108,000,000 gallons of water are stored, was about to break. The warning locomotive was sent by Su- perintendent Bannard of the Pennsylvania railroad, and the people of Gaysport, Dun- cansville and the lower part of Hollidays~ burg, who were in the direct line of the ex- pected flood, immediately left their homes and went to the hills. A telegraphic message received later from Kittanning by the local operator read: “The dam has burst! For God’s sake tell Gaysport people to fy!” This second warning intensified the alarm and the streets of Hollidaysburg became crowded with shrieking women, wailing babes and panic-stricken men, nearly ull half clad. The hotels were crowded with the refugees and 2,000 homeless people spent the night exposed to a pelting rain on the hill tops. Many accidents occurred in their fligth and there are scores of cases of nervous prostration.

IN HOTEL CORRIDORS. “The great hold which the germ theory of disease has upon the public mind,” said Egbert Sutton of Rochester at the Riggs House last night, “cannot be better exem- plified, I believe, than by the introduction of what may be termed a preventive of bacteria poisoning in the celebration of the holiest sacrament of the Christian Church. You have doubtless heard of the agitation which has been going on in northern cities over the question 6f individual communion cups for the use of the faithful who par- take of the sacrament, instead of passing a@ sitgle large chalice around and letting each communicant take a sip of its con- tenis. Dr. Forbes of my city has been one of the most vigorous agitators of the re- form. In his examinations of the contents left ir the large communion cup after it Lad been used in the service he found var- ious sorts of dangerous bacteria in what was deemed threatening quantities. As a result of his researches the North Avenue Church of Rochester a couple of Sundays ago used individual communion cups for the first time. Dr. Love, the pastor, announced before the communion service was begun that the change of administering the wine in individual cups had been made in order to reduce the chances of conveying dis- ease from person to person, and that he thought the service would be no less digni- fied and solemn than when the single chal- ice was passed from mouth to mouth. At the conclusion of the service Dr. Forbes made microscopic examinations of a num- ber of the cups, and discovered that the contents left in them as well as the edges of the cups themselves were remarkably tree from anything like disease-spreading germs. I believe the other Rochester churches are going to adopt the system, and have little doubt that it will spread senerally throughout the north. How are the individuai cups served, you ask? At the North Avenue Church’ 250 of the ar- ticl J believe, were purchased, and into each of the number required on the Sunday in question was poured a small quantity of the communion wine. The people sat in thelr seats, and the elders came forward and were provided with silver trays, upon which a dozen or so of the miniature cups Were placed, and were then distributed througk the congregation. The service was very simple, and I was told that over 200 communicants received the sacrament in language as | tushenberger | less than half an hour, or as quickly as would have been the case chalice had been used.” Sa eae “Every now and then an American news- Faper editor gets hold of an English journal and discovers in its columns some remark- able exhibition of ignorance relating to events in the United States,” said A. J. Christafson of Steubenville, Ohio, at the Eb- bitt House last night. “The way the edi- torial quill is thereupon slung in superior criticism over English Pigheadedness is Something wonderful to behold. The En- glish brother who, by some means or other, has drifted into the newspaper business across the water is held up to scorn and derision in the first three or four para- graphs and then dismissed with a remark to the effect that the insular prejudices of the average Englishman prevent him from even so much as endeavoring to familiarize himself in a simple primary degree with things Amercan.

DETERMINATION OF CONGRESS TO IGNORE MR. COXEY IS SOMEWHAT SHATTERED BY TO- DAY'S PROCEEDING. MAKES AN ADDRESS TO CONGRESS TODAY ON THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE ON THE SUBJECT OF THE INDUSTRIAL DEPRESSION. “Now, I venture to say that nine-tenths of the average readers of that paper, I mean the readers who are not familiar with the laws or rules which govern the Con- grees of the United States, believe firmly that this man Coxey succeeded in address- ing the Congress of the United States upon his Utopian scheme. I have seen many similarly ignorant and misleading an- nouncements in the papers of this country, and I just thought I would show this to the first newspaper man I ran across, in order to let him know that there is a mote in the eye of the American editor as well as a beam in that of his English brother.” “You may educate an Indian much as you please, carry him through all the higher branches, and fairly steep him in moral philosophy, but you can’t eliminate the spirit of revenge from his make up, said Harry Gibbs of Seattle at Willard’ yesterday. “The Indians of the Puget Sound region, and who are scattered all over Oregon, Washington and British Co- lumbia, are known under the general name of ‘Siwash,’ and are, for the most part, en- gaged in fishing or agricultural vocations, and have long since lost the martial in- stinct that onte was strong within them. Nearly all the hops that are grown in the great northwest are picked by these Siwagh Indians, and many communities of them are well off and closely follow the customs of the whites. “A great many of them, too, have been taken in hand and fairly well educated, but | the eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth law is strong among them. An incident of tnis characteristic occurred recently in Ore- gon. About twenty-five years ago a Kia- math Indian was foully murdered by three others, who departed for another portion of the northwest. The murdered man left an infant child, a boy about a year old, and a squaw. When this boy w: bout eleven years of age his miother died and he was taken charge of by some white persons, who became interested in his brightness and sent him to school. He was an apt schoiar and learned rapidly, and he did so well in the primary branches that his edu- cation was continued. At nineteen his stud- | ies ceased and he was given employment as | a tally keeper at one of the Columbia river | fisheries. It was remembered, after the oc- currences that I am about to relate took place, that the young Indian was continu- j ally making inquiries of one sort or another of every visiting Siwash who happened to reach the neighborhood.

As the afternoon wore on the aroma of |planked shad began to spread its insidious inepiration through the atmosphere, and apetites grew keen in anticipation of the | feast that was in store for their delecta- | tion. It made some people reminiscent. “The first time I ever ate planked shad,” said Mr. Hallett Kilburn, as he looked around at a gray and grizzled group of forty-niners, who surrounded him and a lemonaide bowl under a shady tree, “was on Christmas day 1850, on the tip top of Dead Man's mountain, just above Faro Flat, and this side of Suicide Gulch, way out in dear old California, You remember that time, don’t you, Joe?" he inquired, with an interrogative glance at Col. McKibben. “Remember It,” ejaculated the colonel. | ‘Why, it fairly makes my mouth water to think about it. Go on and tell these fellows ail about it, Hallett.’ “Thus urged, Mr. Kilburn assumed an A RECORD of cures such as no other medicine fren won, airing won the 25 years by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

I reckon we had been there adding to our wealth and health and general stock of joy for four or five months when Christmas day rolled around. I al- ways was sort of sympathetic in my nature, so on that eventful morning I thought I'd climb up from Faro Flat to the top of the beak, so as I could look as far away to my dear old eastern home as possible. “While I was up there thinking of the Toast turkey and the plum pudding, and the stockings hanging up by the chimney, and all those things that a wanderer remem- bers when he is far away from the folks that are dearest to his heart, a great big black cloud came rushing along all of a sudden and before I could move I was de- luged with water. I never saw s0 much water in my life. It just seemed as if the whole air had changed into ocean, and that I was at the bottom of it, four million five hundred thousand feet deep, But it was over as quick as it came. When I came to my senses and wiped out my eyes and look- ed around, doggoned if there wasn’t a dozen or fifteen great big fish flopping around my feet. They just jumped and cavorted around there like as if they'd just been dragged in by a seine. It didn’t take me more’n a minute to realize that they had | come along in that cloud, and I wouldn't swear that they hadn't been dipped up somewhere in the neighborhood place, ‘cause when I saw the cloud it was of this | I wouldn't be surprised if it was a mighty emphatic one.” Three hours later, when the lightning was twinkling through ‘the clouds, the thunder rolling, the wind howling and the rain and hail beating down in angry torrents, Maj. Blake said to Col. McKibben, “I wouldn't have been surprised if we had had an earth- quake if Hallet Kilbourn had told another story.” — Washington M. E.

Well, gentlemen, I told you before that I was pretty sympathetic in my nature, and a mighty big wad of that sympathy extended to fresh fish, so I just gathered those wri gling creatures up in my arms and made break for Faro Fiat. You ought to have seen George Gorham’s eyes stick out when I got down there and he saw those fish. You could a hung a beaver hat on each one of ‘em and still had room for a whole suit of clothes. He said they were shad.and that he knew how to plank "em better than anybody in the whole corruscation of star- like states. You know George w: in those days, just like he is now. “I told him that I hadn’t any doubt that he could do what he said he could do, but that he'd have a mighty hard time planking shad on Faro Flat when there was not such a thing as a plank in the whole outfit. He looked at me in a commiserating sort of way, and said he was aware that there weren’t any planks around there, but he'd like to know if we couldn't get some boards from our boarding place. I felt sort of humble, so I went off and got the boards, and then Joe McKibben and Blake came up. We held a council of war and agreed that the best place for Gorham to do his mighty deed was right up on top of the mountain where the fish had been caught. Well, we climbed up to the top of Dead Man’s, and took a Mexican greaser along to tote the fish and the boards, and in less time than it takes to tell it, almost, we had a fire started and the shad planked—or boarded, or whatever you choose to call it—but I say planked. Then we set to and proceeded to destroy those fish. We all ate two or three apiece, except the greeser. He always was the hungriest man that ever hit our section of California, so when he picked up a fish he just bit right into it and began to chew. Then he yelled till the people down in the Flat thought that Injuns were coming. The rest of Christmas day, and until pretty near New Year, he spent ail his time picking bones out of his mouth. He said his ex- perience reminded him of one time when the Padre down in his native country hed made him eat a prickly pear as penance for committing a mortal sin. I hope you boys will be careful about the bones when you tackle the animals that are sizzling away out there along side of the dining pavilion now.” Mr. Kilbourn paused, and silence reigned. Then Col. Alexander M. Kennedy tot- tered weakly toward the lemonade bowl, and in his wake came Senator Stewart. John Rudd, Admiral Almy, Gen. Mahone and Messrs. McKibben and Blake. “I think,” said Admiral Aimy, “that there is going to be a change in the weather.” “Yes,” acquiesced Senator Stewart; “and MALT EXTRACT gives as much strength and nourishment as a cask of ale, without being in- toxicoting.
