From the New Orleans Times-Demoerat. ‘The cowardice of alligators is well known by the people who reside along the bayous which were at one time frequented by the saurlans.”” said a gentleman from southwestern Louisiana. “A great many persons who only know ef the alligator by reputation swallow without a qualm the stories which are so often told about the ath escapes and remarkable adven- tures with these reptiles. The trath ts that they do not possess sufficient courage —the alligators, I mean—to attack a mouse, unless it was chained to the bank and couldn't show fight. I remember crossing a m in the Vermillion country a number ars before the craze for alligator struck the country. I entered a s nd when about half way over my dog, which I had forgotten, came bounding after me, and, leaping into the water, be- gan to swim across after the boat. immediately several . alligators, lying with the tips of their noses above the surface, began to move after the dog, and soon ne within a few feet of the animal. He realized that he was being chased, and proceeded to turn the tables by chasing them. He barked and turned to make for the "gators, but they got out of his way. Well, the dog and the saurians kept up this performance until the former had crossed the stream. The alligators seemed to be afraid to come within biting distance, although it would have been impossible for the dog to have injured them. They were simply afraid, that’s all, and it is al- ways the way with them. I have frequent- ly swam after an alligator myself, and he would invariably turn tail and get out of sight in a hurry. Courage! They have no more tham a goat.” — eee. The Chameleon. From the Boston Transcript. Fuddy—“So you think Fossler an exceed- ingly bashful man?” Duddy—‘“Eminently so. Why, the other day he took a bicycle lesson in the pres- ence of some young ladies, and he abso- lutely changed color.” Fuddy—“Indeed Duddy—“Yes; he was green when he jhe had finished he was began, but before A Distinction.

SCHOOL ATHLETICS Preparing for the High School Con- tests in June. 10 STRIVE FOR “THE STAR” TROPHY Program Arranged for the Track and Field Sports. MANY PRIZES OFFERED Next to the annual competitive drill, the most interesting event to the students of the High School this year will be the Inter- High School track and field day sports, when representatives from the Central, Eastern, Western and Business schools will meet in friendly contests for the champion- ship of the High schools. This event 1s somewhat of un innovation to the -pupils, who introduced it at the beginning of the scholastic year, and decided to hold a meet on the 15th of November, but owing to the lack of time for preparation and the rapid approach of cold weather, it was found necessary to postpone the meet un- til spring, and row with the sanction and aid of the faculties of the schools, prepa- rations are rapidly progresgirg. At present most of the interest is cen- tered in relay teams to represent the Cen- tral, Eastern and Western schools in the coming Georgetown-Columbian track and field meet tomorrow. The managers of the meet have made the Inter-High Schvol re- lay race a special feature. The teams chosen to represent the three schools that accepted the offer are: Phil. Tindall, Frank Coffin, A. 'T. Stuart and Harry Ruff for the Central; Ha Chappel, Alf Erly and Lee Coombs or Harry Hurst for the Eastern, and Charles A. Taussig, Wm. Smart, Capt. Allan EB. Berry and H. P. Hudson for the Western. The teams will probably run in the order named. The Inter-School Events. xt week the boys at all four of the schools will bend every energy in preparing for their joint meet, which is to be held on the Georgetown College campus Wed- nesday, June 3, two weeks after the com- petitive drill of the cadets. The plan for the meet was the result of a mass meeting of the boys held in March. Each school was invited to elect three delegates to co as a committee for making ari ments. The following representatives were chosen by each school: Phil ‘Tindall, Hyber B. Farrow and Fred N. Albert for the Central; Hall W. Chappel, William M. Hal- lam and Gilbert W. Kelly for the Eastern; Bugene T. Gough, Newton H. Ferree and Dana White for the Business, and H. P. Hudson, Charles A. Taussig and Allan B. Berry for the Western. At the first meet- Ing committees were appointed among them as follows: _Arrangements—E. T. Goush, chairman; H. W. Chappel, H. B. Farréw and H. P. Hudson. Rul . W. Albert, chairman; N. H. Ferree, A, . anda G. W. Kelly. Finance—W. M. Tindall, D. White This arrangement places si; chairman; FP and A. E. Ber a representative from each school on each committee. At the same meeting Mr. Phiip Tindall was elected chairman and Mr. William Hallam secretary. Events to Be Contested. Since organization the different commit- tees have held several meetings; and the following list of twelve events has been ar- 2-mile bicycle race. 0 yards dash. ards dash, 440 yards run, WO yards run. o One-mile run: 220 yards hurdle race, Running high jump.

No more than five entries from each school are allowed for any one event, and only three will be permitted to start. The committee on rules has de- cided to credit the school whose represen- tative wins any event with five points, sec- ond place getting three and third place one. The Championship Trophy. The school that scores the sreatest num- ber of points will win the championship, and will be awarded a trophy, donated by The Evening Star Newspaper Com- pany, to be held for a year, and contested for annually. each event will handsome medal, and a number of second nud third p ed, the finance committee having the following offers from business me merchants about the city: Mr. C.

Cc run under the rules of Athletic Association, race is to be held under the tion of the L. A. W. Pr bie Starters. Apparatus has been purchased hy each school, and practice is a part of the daily program. Jolly, Coftin and Slack of the Central are making good time in the hun- dred-yard dash, but they will have strong competitors in Parsons, Hurst and Coombs at the Eastern, and Taussig, Hudson, Nes- bit and Smart at the Western. Jolly and Ruff for the Central school are expected to set the pace in the 24-yard dash. Par- sons, Hurst, Chappel, Hoover and Erly of the astern have signified their intention of trying the 220-yard dash, quarter and half- mile runs. Chappel and Erly will most likely start in the mile run. Maupin and Smail will put the shot for the astern, and Kelly will try the hurdle and jumping. At the tral Stuart and Oyster will probably run the mile and half-mile, and Young, Tindall, Slack, N. Underwood and Ballinger will try the quarter. Farrow, Rollins and Slack will probably do the high jump, while Farrow is the only one who has yet decided for the broad jump. Albert is going in for the hur- nd perhaps the shorter dashes, and Gains and J. Underwood are to try the poie vault. Gains, Rollins and N. Under- weod will also try the hurdles. N. Under- wood, Dumars, Parsons and Kimmel! are precticing putting the shot, and Edmonds, Marean, Potbury and Hughes are in training for the bicycle race. The Base Ball Championship. At the close of the track and field events there will probably ba a base ball game be- tween the two leading teams in the cham- pionship series. The Western has had a team organized for some; time, that has played several practice games, the last one being with the Episcopal. High School at Alexandria last Saturday, when the West- erners were beaten by a fend of 18 to 12, The following team has been decided on to play the other high school teams: Grafton Duvall, catcher; Perey Tompson, ‘pitcher; Earl Tanner, first base;) Grahanv Hume, captain, second base; Thornton Clark, short stop; Robert Fry, third base; Rawlings Hume, manager, center field; Lawrence Reed, left field, and Frank Gordon, right field. Last Saturday the Central team beat the Arsenal nine by a score of 12 to7. The East- ern school has decided on the following team, which played a very good game with the Vigilants last Saturday, to whom they lost by a score of 16 to 10: John Maupin, catcher; Hand, captain, pitcher; Linger, first base; Lee Coombs, second base; Gilbert Kell?, short stop; John Wahler, third base; Hoover, left field; Sprucebank, center field, and Harry Pierson, Se One Original Remark. From the Boston Transcript. The recent incident in New York recalls a story of a clergyman who was in the habit of quoting from various sermons witheut giving dve credit to the authors— and to such an extent as to provoke the ire of one of his parishioners. On a cer- tain Sunday a quotation was made by the pastor. The parishioner rose from his seut and said, “That's Blair; another quota- tion soon followed. “That's Fuller.” Still another theft. ‘“That’s Channing,” said the accuser as he arose from his pew cushion for the third time. “Put that man out,” bellowed the reverend plagtarist. ‘That's criginal,” said the critic—“that’s his own.” PLIERS OF FORCEPS Union Meeting of the "Washington “and Address of Welcome, by President Hunt—Dr. Dunbracéo'’s Reply— Many noted pliers of flte forceps are in session in this city today, Ustening to learn- ed remarks about teeth, "and indulging in discussion of the same subject. The gather- ing constitutes the thir@“mion meeting of the Maryland State DentdJ’ Association and the Washington City Desial Society, and ts being held at the Columbian Dental College building, on H street between 13th and Lith streets northwest. The committee of ar- rangements had previously announced that Rreat efforts had been made to make this meciing one of exceptional interest id profit, that eminent members of other as- sociations would present topics of interest and importance, and that a variety of in- structive ciinics and demonstrations, 2m- bracng the newest and most interesting methods and appliances, so that there a large attendaice shortly before 11 o'ci this morning, when Dr. Wms, Donnally, chairman of the joint committee of ur- raugements, called the assemblage to order, and formally turued the session over tu the presidents ‘of the societies, Dr. William R. Hunt of this city, and Dr. W. W. Dun- braceo of Maryland. A number of dental Students were also present, President Hunt’s Welcome. Dr. Hunt, as president of-the Washington soclety, extended a hearty welcome to the Marylanders. “When a body of men asso- ciate themselves in an earnest effort for any object and work from a disinterested motive," he said during the course of his address, “for the benefit of all, each man has for his assistant and adviser all the rest. ‘That is Just what we as an organiza- Uon are doing, and with such men as make up our membership to instruct and advise, We may be sure that every one of us will be benefited by the result. Uni 0 happily a distinctive of our organization, we may indeed congratulate ourselves on the result to be our annual joint as- semblic Dr. Hunt complimented the joint commit- tee tur its work in arranging for the union meeting and then ton to say: ‘There is one thing, we feel confident. You will leave, you will go away impressed with the conviction that the Baltimore and Wash- ington Association of Dentists are good fellows. You wil ‘over that our united meetings are in every sense a succes: will find that we are in earnest in’ pro- inoting the science of dentistry, and you will tind yourself associated with men as able as there are in the country." Dr. Hunt also remarked that by means of union meetings has the dental profession heen lifted from a tooth-pulling trade to take rank among the leading professions of the world. Dr. Dunbracco’s Reply. His remarks were greeted with applause, and then Dr. W. W. Dunbracco of the Maryland association made reply, With the president of the Washington society, he sald, he united in extending a hearty greeting to all. Dr. Dunbracco spoke at some length on the present status and utility of dental meetings, declaring this to be a practical age, when men demand a reason for the existence of all things, and hence the dentist asks in homely language what Is the use of attending dental meet- ings? What do they offer in exchange for the loss of time and possibly money that absence from office entails? They cost time, energy and moncy in their prepara- tion, therefore what is'the significance of their existence? “Dentists who would grow dull and rust in their! offices,” said’ the speaker, “find their faculties sharpened, their flagging energies awakened, and their powers summoned when rubbing up again fellow dentists in the dentai convention. In conclusion, Dr. Dunbraeco said: “Let us enter heartily Into the spirit of the oc- casion, and freely ventilate our opinions. with the hope that all will feel amply re- paid for any sacrifice made in being here, and we will return to our,labors with pleas- ant recollections and with renewed en- ergy, i The business of the convention was then begun, Dr. A.

In reply to a query from a corres of Casseli's Saturday Journal, a London second-hand bookseller said: “I frequently make finds in books I buy. It is extraor- dinary the number of things that are slip- ped between the s of books for a mo- ment and afterward entirely forgotten. Letters without number I have found, and flowers, locks of hair, unmounted photo- sraphs, bank notes, checks and many other things, too. “I bought a volume of a well-known work from a lady some years ago, and after she had gone, while turning over the leaves, came across a will which disposed of some thousands of pounds’ worth of property. I put the will carefully away, and the follow- ing day the lady returned in a frighiful state of excitement, and wanted to buy the book back at my own price. I guessed what she really wanted, but thought it rather strange that she should ask to buy the book instead of merely asking to be allowed to examine it, which would have been just as effect However, I told her I had found the 1, and supposed that that was what she wanted. She looked confused, but con- fessed it was, so I handed it to her and she went away. Up to this time that will has not been filed, so I have learned, and I have not the slightest doubt that it has been suppressed for the purpose of depriving some one of the property which it disposed of. But the most interesting case in which I have been concerned in this way hap- pened not long ago. “A well-dressed, gentlemanly man brought me three bulky Volumes, and wanted me to purchase them. As they were of a c of books the value of which varies consider- ably, according to the condition and edi- tion, and I vas very busy at the time, I asked him to leave them that I might amine them, and call next ¢ This he ented to do, and went away. When I looked at them I came z a large num- ber of bank notes. were evidently quite new, and there was something about them which made me doubt their authentic- ity. I compared them with notes of my own, but could not discover the faintest dissimilarity. However, to make sure of the matter, [ sent them to be paid into my bank. " Naturally, when my me came back, having passed the notes with- ghtest difficulty, I concluded they were all right. i | out the “The next morning I rec d a messaze from the manager.of my bank saying he vould like me to call upon him.

I keep them as a memento of the occurrence.” Ati A NEW COAT MARK, much ‘surpri at afternoon I Toward An Immense Monogram Sewed on the Inside, From the New York World. A clever device for identifying an over- coat consists of a monogram of the in- itials of the owner, sewed on the. inside, partly on the facing and partly on the lin- ing. The object of the arrangement is to prevent honest men from taking coats that do not belong to them. The scheme, of course, would be of no avail in the case of any other kind of men. Probably you will say that the small label in the neck of the coat woud alswer the purpose, but this is not so, because men do not invariably examine these labels before putting their coats on. And coats are made so much alike now- that it requires ‘more than un ordi- label to distinguish them. It is for the same reason that 'initiais are pasted in the crown of a hat.
