THE BOWLING TOURNAMENT Result of the Games at the Columbia Ath- letic Club. Ricker Wins the Championship —An Interesting Tie fer Spares to Be Pinyed Off. As stated in Saturdey’s Star, the fifth annual ten pin bowling tournament to de- termine the championship of the Columbia Atbletic Club closed the evening previous, and that, a8 the relative standing of some of the contestants was so close, it would require the exact and official figures, which are now given below, to announce the win- bers of the several prizes. This tournament consisted of three series of four games each, and the championship for 1895 will be awarded to the player hav- ing the greatest number of pins in the tcurnament to his credit. ‘This statement shows the number of pins bowled over by each player in each series, the total number in the tournament, and the relative standing of the participants. ist 24 3a 1.

Ricker, Frank W. Stone, Jacobus S. Jones, Phil. H. S. Cake, Howard Perry ang Joseph H. Hun- ter. The Prise Winners. Of the five club prizes only one will be awarded to a single participant,,and they will go as follows: First, to George E. Ricker, for bowling over the greatest number of pins in the tournament, who also wins the club cham- plonship, and the Leding loving cup for 1895, with his name engraved thereon; sec- ond, to Frank W. Stone, for bowling over the second highest number of pins; third, to Jacobus S. Jones, for bowling over the third highest number of pins; fourth, to Phil. Cake, for “rolling up’ the best indi- vidual string in any one game in the tour- nament, and fifth, to Arthur Moses, for making the greatest number of strikes, barring, under the rules, the first, second or third man on the Hist. The sixth club prize, or the “booby” medal, consisting of the club emblem, a “winged arrow,” made of leather, will go to Dr. William R. King, the vice president of the club, for permitting the pin boy to set up for him a smaller number of pins than any other player in the tournament. A special prize, a fine regulation ten ipa ball and bag, has been donated by Mr. Re- mus F. Foster, to be awarded to the bowler making the greatest number of spares in the tournament. George E. Ricker and H. B, Mason are tied for this latter prize, each having fifty- five spares to his credit, and it is agreed that these players bowl six more games, and the one making the most spares in such extra games be declared the winner, but in case there is still a tie at the end of the sixth game play will immediately coatinue until the winning spare is scored in an equal number of games. These games will be bowled next Wednes- day evening, and such a contest will be unique and of great interest, for it‘is a well-known fact in bowling that in the making of strikes there is an element of chance or luck and that the true test of a_ scientific bowler is in his ability to get his “spares,” and to start ou§ as will be the object in this contest, with the delib- erate intention to play for spares only will be a decided novelty. The result is sure to prove interesting as an object lesson for the purpose of comparison, aside from the fine chance thus afforded to show skill in wielding the “wooden sphere.’ As a matter of additional interest to this match, Jores and Perry, who are also tied for the next highest number of spares (fifty-two) made in the tournament, will “play run- ning mates” to Ricker and Mason, and bowl for the same results.

The base ball season of 1895 was opened yesterday afternocn at Louisville by the Louisvilles defeating the Nashvilles in the presence of 3,000 people, by 20 to 5. The home team hit Daniels at will, earning ten runs, while their opponents could do noth- ing with McDermott’s delivery. Pfeffer played his initial game with Louisville, holding down first base. Can Run on a Foul Tip Caught. President Young has given a decision on a point that promised to cause considerable wrangling during the coming season. The question was whether a base runner could run on a foul tip caught inside the ten-foot line, which under the new rule is a strike. President Young has decided that the run- ner can steal a base on such a strike. Chief of Umpires Wright had previously decided in just the opposite way. Of course, it follows that if the foul tip is muffed it loses its character as a strike, and the base runner will be compelled to return to his base. This will give an op- portunity to catch for some fine work. That Mr. Wright's decree is not generally ac- ceptable is shown by the fact that Presi- dent Hart of Chicago wired an objection to Mr. Wright's interpretation, and insisted that the play should operate jn every way as a mere strike. Lucky Rettors Must Pay a Tax. A special from Lexington, Ky., says: Desha Breckinridge, deputy collector of internal revenue of this district, who has charge of collecting the income tax, has decided that all winnings from gaming of any sort, including money won on horse racing, comes within the provisions of the income tax law and that persons whose winnings have, during the year of 1804, been over $4,000, will have to make proper returns of said winnings today, April 15, or suffer the penalty prescribed by law. He also decided that losses in- curred in gambling cannot be deducted; that the law does not recognize such losses as proper deductions from income re- ceived. Moore to Fight Morris. Dick Moore of Minneapolis and Fred. Morris (Muldoon’s cyclone) of Washington, D. C., have signed articles to fight fifteen rounds before the tle Square A. C., in New York city, May 14. Crack Wheelimen to Race. “An agreement hi been signed for a series of races between the two crack wheelmen, Johnson,and Sanger, that will settle between them the question of the championship. Augther agreement was signed for a one-mile team race between the Stearns and Spalding teams. David G. Shafer, the traineffof Sanger and Titus, met Thomas Eck, Johnson’s trainer, yes- terday, at the E ‘tt House and com- pleted the arrange! its for the races. The final arrangements, such as fixing the date and place of meeting, will be made later. Amateur Base Ball.

The congregations in the various Episco- pal and Roman Catholic churches yester- day were larger, being Easter Sunday, than they have been for some time past, and in all the services were grandly impressive, the beautiful music that had been arranged adding largely. Communion was celebrated in each of the churches. In the afternoon the children’s Easter festivities were held, and the floral designs were both intricate and beautiful. In the other churches the resident rectors officiated, and interesting sermons were preached. At the railroad reading rooms Mr. E. W. Gamble of the ‘Theological Seminary delivered an interest- ing address, taking as his subject, “The Lord is Risen From the Dead.” All during the afternoon the streets were swarmed with large crowds of visitors from Washington, and the Easter bonnets .of many hues ‘were out in full force, though the rain which came up late in the after- ncon cast a damper over them. Police Court. For some days past the police force have not had enough to do to earn their salt, but they have been kept busy enough from Saturday night until this morning to re- deem themselves. Mayor Strauss at this morning’s session of the police court dis- posed of the following cases: W. H. Bowen, charged with stealing goods from Frank Price, dismissed; John Murtaugh, Walter Allen, John Boulden, Frank Wright, James Simms, Henry Johnson, John Andrews and William Smith, charged with injuring the property of Mr. Mike Shuler, were sen- tenced to thirty days each on the chain gang; Sarah Levi, charged with disorderly conduct, fined $5;; George Johnson, disor- derly conduct, fined $5; Samuel Conoway, charged with assaulting and beating Mary Phillips, fined $5; Mary Phillips, disorderly conduct, fined $1. ~~, Notes.

Misses Eliga Dalngerfield, Lucy Minni- Berode and Rebecca Daingerfield, chaper- oned by Mrs. Green, left for the University cf Virginia this morning. Miss Sallie V. Daingerfield was to have accompanied the party, but was prevented from so doing. The Sketching Club, composed of Misses Catherine Critcher, Ewing, Moss and May, spent today in the county near, this city on a sketching tour. They were accompanied by Mr. W. D. Buckner of the Theological Seminary. . The Electric Railway company have been notified by the mayor that they must at once comply with the terms of the sev- eral contracts they have with the city. The steamer Howard Cassard was launched from the ways at the ship yard today. The work of erecting a chapel at the Railroad Mission has been commenced. This will fill a much needed want, as the capacity of the building now used has al- ways been taxed to its fullest extent, and even tnen those attending the mission could not be accommodated. Mr. Henry_Philli who was kicked by a horse on Saturday, is improving. The public and private schools will re- sume their sessions tomorrow morning. Large crowds of people took the elec- tric railway for Riverside Park today. ‘The hills around the city have, as usual, been crowded all day with the little ones rolling Easter eggs. £ Charles Bendheim, attorney for “Eddie” Desmond, left for Norfolk last night to ar- gue the case of removal to Washington betore Judge Hughes. —- AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Notes of Many Kinds From Reck Creek. The Tenleytown Baptist Church was crowded yesterday afternoon to an unusual degree. The special cause was the Easter entertainment of the young people. The pregram, which had been arranged by Svperintendent B. F, King and Mrs. G. W. McCullough, wife of the pastor, consisted of singing, recitations and an address. The numbers were as follows: “Easter Hymn,” Florence Jones; “Easter Morn,” Chrissie Thempscn; responsive reading, Mrs. Mc- Cullough’s class; recitation and singing by virgie, Regini and Amy Harding; recita- tiom Leroy and Annie McCobb; responsive regfiing by the pastor's class; recitation, “Ester Flowers,” Viola Burroughs, er Offering,” Nettie ‘Trail; responsive read- ing by Miss Trail’s class; recitation, ‘‘East- ; Dress and Mamma’s Bonnet,” by Ada Dean; “Raboni,” Annie Hunter. At the clese of these exercises an Easter egg and card were given each scholar. Prof. Thomp- son led the singing, and Miss E. Hurley presided at the organ. ic No Skeleton. The finding .of an old pair of handcuffs at the union depot excavation has given mse and circulation to a rumor that the skeleton of a man with his hands man- acled was unearthed by the workmen en- gaged there. The. laborers and directors of the work know nothing of the alleged skeleton. They are acquainted, however, with the finding of the handcuffs. King’s Daughters. The King’s Daughters of the Baptist Church in reviewing thelr work among the poor last winter found that over $200 in cash was distributed and an endless num- ber and variety of warm garments. The King’s Daughters, Gay street branch, is one of the most ‘active societies George- town has engaged in the ‘good work. The members are untiring in their efforts to promote the happiness of the unfortunate and miserable. The society meets at the home of Mrs. Stearn, 3141 M street. “Notes. Mick Caton has ‘been taken in again, and the old charge, fintoxication and disor- derly,” lodged against his name. He at- tempted to annthilate every member of his family.

Across eS eae ¢ ¢ Demurs to the Jurisdiction. Assistam® Attorney General Hall of the Interior Department has filed a demurrer in the suit brought by Jefferson Reynolds and other citizens of the Las Vegas land district in New Mexico to compel the Sec- retary to revoke an order letting contracts for surveying lands in which the complain- ants are interested. A survey of the lands was le many years ago, but was not approved by the general land office. The demurrer alleges that the new survey was properly ordered by the former Secretary and that the present Secretary acted with- in his power in refusing to revoke the or- der; also that the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, where tbe suit is brought, has no power to interfere, THE PRESIDENT'S WARNING Perils That Lie in the Direction of Silver M i Those Who Hope to Seli for Higher Prices Reminded That ‘When They Buy They Must Pay More. President Cleveland has sent to the com- mittee of business men who invited him to Chicago recently to attend a gathering in the interests of sound money a letter stat- ing his inability to attend and expressing his sentiments on sound money. After re- ferring to his attachment to the cause, he says: “But my judgment and my estimate of the proprieties of my official place oblige me to forego the enjoyment of participat- ing in the occasion you contemplate. “I hope, however, the event will mark the beginning of an aggressive effort to disseminate among the people safe and prudent financial ideas. Nothing more im- portant can engage the attention of pa- triotic citizens, because nothing is so vital to the welfare of our fellow-countrymen and to the strength, prosperity and honor of our nation. “The situation that we are confronting demands that those who appreciate tne 1u- portance of this subject and those who ought to be the first to see impending dan- ger should no longer remain indifferent or over-confident. “If the sound-money sentiment abroad in the land is to save us from mischief and disaster it must be crystallized and com- bined and made immediately active. It is dangerous to overlook the fact that a vast number of our people with scant oppor- tunity thus far to examine the question in all its aspects have nevertheless been in- geniously pressed with specious siugges- tions, which, in this time of misfortune and depression, find willing listeners prepared to give credence to any scheme which is plausibly presented as a remedy for their unfortunate condition. Plain and Simple Argument. “What!is new more needed than anything else is a plain and simple presentation of the argument in favor of sound money. In other words, it is a time for the Ameri- can people to reason together as members of a great nation, which can promise them a cofitinuance of protection and safety only so‘leng as its solvency is unsuspected, its honop unsullied and the soundness of its money unquestioned. e “These things are {ll exchanged for the illusions of a debased currency and ground- less hope of advantages to be gained by a disregard of our financial credit and com- mercial standing among the nations of the world. “If our people were isolated from all oth- ers, and if the question of our currency could be treated without regard to our relations to other countries, its character would be a matter of comparatively little importance. If the American people were only concerned in the maintenance of their precious Nife among themselves they might return to the old days of barter, and in this primitive manner acquire from each other the materials to supply the wants of their existence. But if American civiliza- tion was satisfied with this it would ab- jectly fail in its high and noble mission. Mast Buy as Well as Sell. “In these restless days the farmer is tempted by the assurance that though our currency may be debased, redundant and uncertain, such a situation would improve the price of his products. Let us remind him that he must buy as well as sell; that his dreams of-plenty are shaded by the cer- tainty that if the price of the things he has to sell is nominally enhanced the cost of things he must buy will not remain Stationary; that the best prices which cheap money proclaims are unsubstantial and elusive, and even if they were real and palpable he must necessarily be left far behind in the race for their enjoyment. It ought not to be difficult to convince the wage earner that if there were benefits arising from a degenerated currency they would reach him least of all and last of all. In an ‘unhealthy stimulation of prices an increased cost of all the needs of his home must be long his portion, while he is at the seme time vexed with vanishing visions of increased wages and an easier lot. The pages of history and experience are full of this lesson. “An insidious attempt is made to create a prejudice against the advocates of a safe and sound currency by the insinuation, more or less directly made, that they be- long to financial and business classes and are therefore not only out of mpathy with the common people of the land, but for selfish and wicked purposes are willing to sacrifice the interests of those outside their circle. “I believe that capital and wealth, through combination and other means, sometimes gain an undue advantage, and it must be conceded that the maintenance of a sound currency may, in a sense, be in- vested with a greater or less importance to individuals, according to their condition and circumstances. It is, however, only a difference in degree, since it is utterly im- possible that any one in our broad land, rich or poor, whatever may be his occupa- tion, and whether dwelling in a center of finance and commerce or in a remote cor- ner of our domain, can be really benefited by a financial scheme not alike beneficial to all our people, or that any one should be excluded from a common and universal interest in the safe character and stable value of the currency of the country. Discredited Money Hurts Every One. “In our relation to this question we are all in business, for we all buy and sell; SO we all have to do with financial opera- tions, for we all earn money and spend it. We cannot escape our interdependence. Merchants and dealers are im every neigh- borhood, and each has its shops and manp- factories. Wherever the wants of man exist, business and finance in some degree are found, related in one direction to those whose wants they supply and in another to the more extensive business and finance to which they are tributary. A fluctuation in prices at the seaboard is known the same day or hour in the remotest hamlet. The discredit or depreciation in financial centers of any form of money in the hands of the people is a signal of immediate loss everywhere. “If reckless discontent and wild experi- ment should sweep our currency from its safe support, the most defenseless of all who suffer in that time of distress and na- tional discredit will be the people, as they reckon the.loss in their scanty support, and the laborer and workingman, as he sees the money he has received for his toil shrink and shrivel in his hand, when he tenders it for the necessaries to supply his humble home. “Disguise it as we may, the line of battle is drawn between the forces of safe cur- rency and those of silver monometallism. “I will not believe that if our people are afforded an intelligent opportunity for so- ber second thought they will sanction schemes that, however cloaked, mean dis- aster and confusion, nor that they will consent, by undermining the foundation of a safe currency, to endanger the beneficent character and purposes of their govern- ment. Yours, very truly, “GROVER CLEVELAND.” —_--e- + __ THOUSANDS OF ACRES IN DISPUTE. Suit Brought by the Government Against the Southern Pacific. A case involving title to 200,000 acres of land situated in Multanomah and Clacks- mas counties, near Portland, Cre., will come up in the United States court tomor- row. The case is known as the “Overlap land case,” end is brought by the United States government against the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. The contention of the government is that 200,000 acres, having been given to the Northern Pacific in 1873, were not included in the grant to the Oregon and California, which has been absorbed by the Southern Pacific, and the Northern Pacific prior grant excluded the land from the grant to the Oregon and California. But the Northern Pacific failed to build frcm Waltula to Portland, and its grant alcrg the Columbia river was forfeited to the government, and as the overlapping lend was never included in the grant to the Oregon and California, it cannot be now included. The land is very valuable. ae An International Matter, The irrigation dykes of a British com- pany seem likely to wash away and énjure lands of settlers on Boundary Creek, Idaho. Secretary Smith has suggested to Secre- tary Gresham that the affair was a mat- ter for international action. JAMES W. SCOTT DEAD. Once a Government Printing Office Employe, He Die®& Wealthy Man. James W. Scott, proprietor of the Chicago ;Times-Herald and the Chicago Evening Post, died at New York yesterday after- noon. He was taken with pains in the left side in the morning, and a doctor was called in. He said the pain arose from the Fassage of a stone from the bladder, and administersd morphine. Mr. Scott became inconscious, and died without recovering censcicusness. James Wilmot Scott was born in Wal- worth county, Wis., near the Illinois line, in June, 1849.. When-a toy his parents re- moved to Galena, Ill, where they both re- mained until they died.

Mr. Scott was the originator of many im- portant changes in journalism, which are known to all newspaper men. His death occurred just as he had consummated the crowning ptan of his life, to own and con- trol absolutely a great newspaper, and while he was on the crest of the wave of popular faith. He was four times elected president of the American Newspaper Publishers’ Asso- SS .

In @ room on the second floor of the stable in rear of the residence of the late Senator Vance,colored coachmen and others have been holding meetings and playing “crap,” and it was not until Saturday night that Policeman Jacobson’s attention was attracted to the place, and he made a raid. Mrs. Vance’s coachman, Elmer Kennard, colored, was held responsible for the game, and was locked up. Several of his guests, including one man who said he was Sec- retary Gresham's coachman, were taken to the station as witnesses. When the prisoner was taken to the Police Court this morning he had Lawyer Campbell Carrington to look out for him. The lawyer went before Judge Miller and entered a plea of guilty for him. In doing so he spoke of his client’s reputation, and mentioned the fact that this was his first offense, in consideration of which he thovght the punishment should be light. He succeeded in his undertaking, for the court impesed a fine of $10 or thirty days, and gave him twenty-four hours in jail. iGH YOURSELF Wee tcrone gil For WEAK and RUN-DOWN PEOPLE. WHAT IT IS!
