IN THE LOCAL CLUBS Joe Donoghue won the third race for the indoor championship of the United States and Canada last night at the Convention Hall ice rink, defeating Harley Davidson by a foot. The distance was two miles, and there were three entries—Howard Moshier, Harley Davidson and Joe Dono- shue. As soon as the pistol was fired Davidson jumped to the front and kept there until passed by Moshier about the sixth lap. The latter then dropped out of the race on account of his skate bending urder his shoe. Davidson and Donoghte | alternated in the lead until the next to the jast turn_was reached, with Davidson in front. Then Donoghue, by an immense burst of speed, caught up and passed him. As the pistol was fired for the finish there Was not more than a foot between the two racers, and a majority of the spectators thought it was a dead heat. The time was 6.07t.- Doroghue’s best time for two miles is 6.63 1-5. The race yesterday afternoon was_be- tween Wise, amateur champion of New York and Long Island; J. F. Davidson, Stites, the champion of the District and Maryland; Bailey and Hgenfritz, for a mile. Davidson gave Wise three-quarters of a lap and the others a lap and a half, winning easily, with Stites second. This evening John Davidson will try to lower the world’s record for three miles. Harley Davidson, Moshier and Joe Dono- ghue will race for two miles and a half. All of these races are for the indoor cham- Ponship of the United States and Canada. The racing this afternoon will begin at 5 and will be between Wise and Stites. The distance will te for a mile, and Stites wil have half a lap handicap. CORBETT SIG) ‘S$ ARTICLES.

With regard tu stakes, Corbett said: “I want the winner to hive all of the stakes. In addi- tion to this I will give the purse of $10,000 to Fitzsimmons if he stands up before me for twenty rounds, and, furthermore, I will bet Fitzsimmons $10,000 on the side against $5,000 that he cannot stand up in front of me for twenty rounds.

Athletes’ Trip to Athens Given Up. At a meeting of the athletic committee of the Boston A. A. last evening it was decided that owing to the lack of interest among members a track athletic team would not be sent to Athens to compete in the Olympic games there in April. In consequence there will probably be no American team in the Olympian games. Stopped the Sparring. A crowd of six thousand at Madison Square Garden, New York, last night, saw Jack Mc- Auliffe, the light-weight champion, and George (Kid) Lavigne of Saginaw, Micn., spar, but the police stopped the contest in the sixth round, when Lavigne seemed to have something the better of the contest. The anrouncer informed the spectators that Inspector Brooks would not allow a referee to enter the ring, and they therefore would judge for themselves as to which of the contestants was the better man. Inspector Brooks and Capt. Pickett had 100 policemen in the place, and they warned the management that the first hard blow would be a sign for the bout to be stopped and for the arrest of the principals and all others concerned in the exhibition.

Carefal Work Done by the Bureau of Printing and Engraving—The Artistic Result. Within the next two or three weeks the work of printing the diplomas of award for the Columbian exposition will be completed, and the diplomas and medals will be ready for distribution. The world’s fair is now so thoroughly a thing of the past that con- siderable dissatisfaction has been expressed that these certificates were not sent out long ago, but the responsibility therefor does not rest with the bureau of engraving and printing, which has had charge of the mechanical part of the work. As is well known, the judges and commissions on awards did their work but slowly, and were delayed in many ways. For nearly two years past the bureau of engraving and printing has been engaged upon the work of preparing the diplomas and now only a few hundred more remain to be printed. Some idea of the immensity of the task may be had when it is stated that upward of 24,000 diplomas were necd- ed, and that each one had to be printed sep- arately from a single form. The design for the diplomas was made by Mr. Will H. Low, the famous artist, and is regarded as a most artistic and beautiful piece of work. -The engraving was done at the bureau of engraving and printing, and is fully up to bank note work. The result is an award of which any one would be proud as a work of art, and quite apart from the reasons for which it is given. The-plate is about eighteen inches in width by twenty- eight or thirty in height, and is printed on the finest of heavy Japanese paper, with a me mat, that makes it suitable for fram- ing. Experience With the Japanese. The paper was secured from the imperial mills in Japan by special arrangement. A rather amusing incident occurred some time ago, as showing how independent the Japan- ese can be when they see fit. An effort was made by Mr. Claude M. Johnson, the chief of the bureau, to have a lot of the paper rurried up to facilitate the work of printing. He was given to understand that they had their own way of doing business; they had taken the contract at a certain fixed price, agreeing to have the paper done at certain stated periofs. They would be ready on time, but he must know that they had no in- tention of being hurried in the least. When the bureau was called upon to do the work of printing the diplomas it meant a tremendous addition to the labors of that big publishing office. Chief Johnson and his | assistants were well prepared for the en- graving part of the work, but when it came to the printing of the names, “surface work,” as they call it, they did not have the necessary equipment, and were compelled to lay in a stock of presses and type quite suffi- cient to steck a good-sized job printing office, There was no room for this addition in the b.g red building where the greenbacks are printed, so the old building to the south- west, that was formerly used by the com- missary department, was secured, and the new division was started under’ Superin- tendent Blue. The superintendent of this temporary division is a printer of skill and taste, and he soon had his force in first- rate ‘working order. Altogether the force has numbered about half a hundred, and at times as many as nine hand presses were ed This number was found too large, however, for the limited accommodation: cf the building, and has been reduced about a half of ‘ate. With this outfit it has been possible to print in the neighborhood of a hundred diplomas a day. Rather 4 If the neme of the person to whom the diploma vas awarded and the exhibit for which it vas made were simply written in on the dipioma, the work would never have amounted to very much, but it was decided to print them, and it was Chief Johnson's desire to have the printing harmonize with the design of the diploma and look as much like the engraved text as possible. The di- plomas are sent to the printers all complete with the exception of the blank space near the center, where the name of the exhib- itor, the nature of the exhibit, the reasons for making the award and the names of the judges in that particular class must be in- serted. The blank space is irregular in shape, so that it takes considerable skill and training to get the* printed matter in just the proper form to insure the right ef- fect. The matter to be printed varies greatly in amount in the different diplomas. Some- times it is enly a few words. Then the printer can use large type, and the work of inserting the text in tasteful style is comparatively casy. Again, the text may include one or more tables, showing the character of the exhibit and the percent- ages upon which the award was based. In that event it requires a skiilful printer to do the work well, and he may have to try again and again before he gets the arrange- ment just right. When the proof is entirely satisfactory the engraved diploma is put on the press and a single impression is made. In other words, there are 24,000 separate editions in this great work, with only a single copy in each edition. When the printing of the one diploma is completed the type must all be distributed. It is slow and tedious work at best. In the printing the “quaint” style of type is used for all the work, except when tables are needed. Then a smaller, plain type is used. On a Hand Press. The “quaint” type is an outline type, which gives a lght impression, or almost exactly the same effect as the engraved let- tering. In fact, at times it is almost im- possible to tell just where the engraving leaves off and the printing begins. The printing is all done on old-fashioned Wash- ington hand presses, for in an edition lim- ited to one copy there is no need for great speed. It is also thought that better work is accomplished than would be done on a cylinder press. When all are printed the work of sending out the diplomas will begin. This will also be done by the bureau of engraving and printing, and will not take a great amount of time, as the bureau already has a big force of clerks who are skilled in that sort of work. ‘here is some question as to just how they will be packed, as the bronze medais are to be sent with them. They will make awkward packages if wrapped together in flat boxes. The chances are, therefore, that the diplomas will be sent rolled in pastebozrd tubes and the medals in separate boxes. —-o+___ EXPLAINING SINGLE TAX. Bolton Hall of New York Discusses Land Values. Mr. Bolton Hall, son of the Rey. John Hall of New York, who has long been a leading advocate of the single tax doctrine, explained to a large gathering at Typo- graphical Temple last evening the funda- mental principles of the doctrine. The sin- gle tax meant, he said, the removal of all taxes but one, that on land values. It meant taking taxes off all the things pro- duced by labor, and as land values are pro- duced entirely by the presence, virtue and énterprise of the community, growing with the growth of the population, it would be the taking by the people of a fund created by the community, and in no sense a tax on industry. He said that single tax meant that the Creator of the universe created this earth for all His children. He gave a graphic account of the work of campaign in Delaware, where it is hoped a legislature will be chosen that will relieve improvements from taxation, which will be placed on land values. His appeal for funds, etc, and the campaign, met with hearty response. Representative Maguire, Messrs. McCrea- ry, Newburg and Furbrik and others made brief remarks. Resolutions, offered by Mr. Grok, were adopted, extending sympathy to the Cuban insurgents, and expressing the hope that in repudiating the divine rights of kings, Cubans would also repudi- ate the “divine right” to parcel out and sell forever the natural life interest of all fue ture native hee Cubans in their own native soil, and would therewith raise all govern- anes venues by taxing nothing but land values.” : Png eg eee hae preservative "hair. t is also curative of dandruff, telter and all ‘affections, es Pate: GEN. HARRISON AGAIN|MEMBERS IN TOWN heen to"'Rejtore ‘Him as a Presidential sPossibility. PROPCSED COMPHMISE CANDIDATE 3 SaUES Oar Present Prominent Leaders May Be Unable zo Win. oO oF 1 +t M’KINLEY MEN OBJECT An interesting story comes from Indiana of a move now on foot to restore General Harrison’s name to the list of presidential Pessibilities. This is not to be done by cpen instructions there or elsewhere for the ex-President, but by an open canvass of the situation everywhere, showing how strong he is in the hearts‘of all the peo- ple, and haw events seem shaping them- selves for the necessity of naming such a man at St. Louis. A Compromise Candidate. Those who take this view of matters de- clare that the hunt for delegates is grow- ing so hot a very complicated situation is certain to arise at the convention. No can- didate will have votes enough to secure the nomiration on the first ballot, and the longer the contest continues the less likely will the prize be to go to any one of those who start in the race. Bitterness will have been engendered in the primaries and else- where, until every leader will be at a dis- advantage in soliciting votes from among the followers of his rivals’ A compromise candidate will thus become inevitable. Available in Case of Need. Now, as these Harrison men insist, as the situation begins to point to such a candi- date, it is the part of wisdom to begin to consider where, when needed, he may be found. Why, they ask, should not Gen. Harrison be so considered? They do not read his letter as forbidding it. They ac- cept his letter in good faith, and will be guided by it. What he asserts in that fs that his name must not be used in the active canvass for the St. Louis nomina- tion; that he will not antagonize any of the men who are seeking that nomination. His wishes, the Harrison men say, will be re- spected. They have no intention of using his name to antagonize the aspirations of other men, but only to keep it in evidence for use in case the active candidates, by antagonizing one another, succeed in clear- ing the field for a new man. If that situa- tion arises—and they think it will arise— tnen Gen. Harrison's name will be brought forward; but otherwise, not. McKinley Men Object. The McKinley men raise thelr eyebrows at this. The explanation offered does not convince them. The move,*they believe, is aimed specifically at their candidate. It is but an effort, they say, to enroll the ex- President among the favorite sons, and use him to help reduce the McKinley vote on the first ballot. Their favorite, they assert, profited more by the withdrawal of Gen. Harrison from thé’ lists than any of the other active candidates, and this having become manifest, ‘the desire of his oppo- nents is to try and deprive him of that gain. But they do not believe that, the scheme will werk. The country, ‘they de- clare, has taken Gén. Harrison at his word, as he intended that ft should, and has per- manently ceased to consider him as a presi- dential “availability. Moreover, they ex- press themselves as confident that Mr. Mc- Kiniey will win at St. Louis not later than the third ballot. All Right at Home. Mr. Foraker’s speech at Columbus, and the respectful tone of the resolution adopted touching presidental aspirants from other states, have given Mr. McKinley's friends in Washington muehpleasure. They note both as showing that their favorite’s case at home, despite much gossip to the contrary, is In good hands. They consider that a seai has been put on the talk about lukewarm- ness in the Ohio delegation, and they prom- ise that Mr. Foraker at St. Louis will repeat in substance his Columbus eulogy of Ohio's choice for the presidency. The financial de- liverance, they say, is in exact accord with the party's whole professions about money, and’ they predict, too, that that will be re- peated, in substange at St. Louis. The Ohio cry now is McKinley, protectio: ‘afta bimelaattonn °° MEHInhs%,,Prosection —————— MR. BRYAN’S PROTEST. Why He Withdréew From His Position Against Two Anacostia Saloons. | Mr. Barnabas Bryen of Anacostia says the statement that he has written a letter withdrawing his protest to the granting of @ wholesale liquor license to Messrs. Geo. H. Gray and John Madigan is an error. “I do not remember,” says Mr. Bryan, “sign- ing a protest against them, though I may have done s0, as I sign all protests against the liquor traffic that are presented to me, and if my protest would prevent it, no more liquor would be made or sold. I did, several months ago, write a letter to the excise board withdrawing my protest to the applications of Messrs. Campbell and Leon- ard & Beall, based on the statement that their proposed places were within 400 feet of the Anacostia branch of the Central Union Mission, but, as a citizen, renewing my protest on general terms as against all applications that might come from Ana- costia. The reasons that led to the writing of that letter were as follows: About two years ago the Central Unten Mission estab- lished a branch in An&costia, and I was a member of the local committee in charge. After some months It was closed for want of proper support. “Ever since I have been in Anacostia the | question of license or no license has been constantly agitated. Some time since I went with a delegation of citizens before the District Commissioners to protest against a license for William H. Rose. After listening to the speeches on either side, filled with bitter personalities, and seeing men who were good, respectable citizens drawn up in hostile array against those who were there as representatives of the churches, I felt that I was in a wrong position, and that the very men whom I longed to influence for good would be en- tirely out of my reach if I allowed myself to be identified with bitter personal fights on the prohibition question. After Mr. Rose's saloon was closed the agitation con- tinued, and many citizens of undoubted worth and respectability took the ground that as long as saloons were numerous across the bridge and wholesale licenses were allowed in Anacostia, and the govern- ment was unable to enforce the law against speakeasies, préfititicn of the saloon in Anacostia was a mistake. “Last fall arr: ents were made to re- open the Anac 1a Branch of the Central Union Mission, 4n@’Hwas asked to be one of the local committee in charge. After the work of thé’ miSsion was under way two protests, of@ inst the application of Mr. Campbel one against the appli- cation of Leon#td & Beall, for retail Ii- censes were prevént@i to the Commission- ers for their 2#ist#tures. The réasons stated in these fftot were that the pro- posed places wére Within 400 feet of the Mission hall. Whett these protests were presented to us!€ hi@ grave doubts as to the wisdom of sfnifig them, and expressed my doubts to thé céfnmittee; but,.as they were- unanimously ‘fn ‘favor of making the protests, I joinéd -I#°signing them. After doing so the comictfen grew on me that I had made a mistakéf'and outside inquiries satisfied me thaé thése who believed in the saloon considereé tHese-protests unfair, as the applications, with the legal number of signatures, had prepared before the re-establishment of the Mission branch. Mr. Leonard told me that before taking any step toward purchasing the ground on which his inn now stands he had made ac- curate measurements, to be sure that it was more than 400 feet from the nearest place of public worship. The conviction that I had made a mistake became strong. As a result I sent my resignation as a member of the Mission committee, and then wrote to the excise board the letter that has been referred to.” ——___ 3 The third district republican committee of Virginia has adopted resolutions con- demning Col.

A man thinks he is the lord of creation, and ought to be obeyed by every member of his family, because he furnishes the money with which to buy potatoes and beefsteak. The claim to supremacy rests, I think, on a very slender foundation. I have a notion that in most households the woman has “harder work than the man, and works long- er hours. Money, of course, is necessary, but cooking and house cleaning and keep- ing the children and “the governor” him- self in proper shape is a task which no man would care to undertake. I suppose that if @ woman were to attempt to do her hus- band’s work she would make a botch of it, and I am sure that if a man were to at- tempt to do his wife’s work ne would rush to the nearest drug store at the end of a week and swallow a strong dose of rat poi- ‘Congressional + Metropolitan Hamilton son, Things are arranged pretty well, on the whole, and the man has the better end of the bargain. ——— es “Camel's Flesh for Paris.

A score of prominent men are primarily interested in the outcome of that race, and present appearances indicate that they! have won. They expect to make fortunes ovt of the mine. This race for wealth il- Ivstrates the excitement atiendant upom the opening of the great western reservad tic: The Coleman syndicate, whose man wom last week's race, was organized by Judga A. R. Coleman of Port Townsend. Inter= ested with him are Judge W. H. Brinker, United States District Attorney F. C. ertsen, and his assistant, Judge C. Judge Coleman became interes:ed time ago in the Le Fleur copper and ver claim, on the Colville reserve, mile$ from Marcus, on the Spokan Northern railroad. Le Fleur is a French- man who discovered the claim years ag and has been watching it ever sine man filed cight claims on the property, ly the Russell syndicate, headed by Col. g Russell of Spokane, promptly fled claims over his. The Russell people claimed that the reservation was aiready open under an act of Congress, though the Pre<ident’s for- mal proclamation had never been issued. They tovk the matter into the federal court, and Judge Hanford now has the question under a ement. The Coleman syndicate requested Con- gress to open the reservation, an’ promi- nent men went to Washington city to show Corgress how the public good would conserved, as it has been, by i: The necessary bill was passed Fi Judge Coleman went immed Port Townsend to the mine. Th: “sooners” being questioned, it was that a man must be stationed at M to receive the news of the Pri ing the bill, and tnen to ride could for the claim. To perform th John McCool of the Coleman sy also collector of customs at Marcus, selected. McCool was, in fact, one of the crigi-al discoverers of the mine. McCool was at Marcus the following Thursday morning, awaiting a telegram from Washington, stating that President Cleveland had signed the bill. The Russell be opening. syndicate, equally clever, had Mark Gil- main at Marcus to perform a sim‘lar feat for them. The expecied telegram came early in the afternoon. McCool and Gil- main started on their lonely fifty-mile race over a rough, tortuous tral. Each covered the distance in less than five hours, but Gilmain, having the better horse, reached the destination first. But he did not post any notices. Judge Coleman was in pos- session. He had with him an Irishman and an Indian, and they were prepared to use artillery if need be, to keep unwelcome visitors away. When McCool arrived, he was greeted cordially by Judge Coleman, the latter quictly remarking chat no claim filers had yet put in an appearance. Gi!lmain is quoted as stating that he did not post any notices because he did not wish to be shot. McCool’s notices were promptly posted. The Le Fleur claim iz situated on the Fourth of July Creek, and is said to be the richest claim in that region. It is es- timated to be worth $2,000,000 as it stands. Assays here have run $45 to $85 per ton in copper and silver. It will soon be trans- ferred to the Tenasket Mining Compan: creanized here by the Coleman syndica‘ several months ago, with a capital of $2, 000,000, It 1s possible that the Russell syn« dicate will make a contest. —eoo— A Lucky Rascal. From Truth. The milkman tugged at his favorite pump in vain, and mad enough he was. For years he had left home every morning be- fore daybreak with his cans half filled with milk. These he stocked up with water from the old pump, and then proceeded to serve his customers. For the first time in his career as a purveyor of pure milk from his ewn dairy the cow with a wooden tail had failed him. Somebody had broken the handle. It was too late to return home, and h> hadn't the nerve to berrow any water from his neighbors, hardened though he was. In the midst of his reflections he Was accosted by a stranger, who ordered him to stop, at the same t'me displaying a state dairy inspector's badge. With # much better grace than the officer had ex- pected, the milkman pulled up his horse and uncovered the cans for inspection. The result was a complete surprise to the man with the badge. He was utterly dumbe founded. For the first time in his life all the milk he tested was absolutely pure. The news spread far and wide. Soon the milkman had not a single rival left n the place. The monopoly made him rich, and everywhere he went he was proudly point~ ed ont as the one honest milkman. a Deserved Consideration. From the Boston Courier.
