New York Herald. “Can't I persuade you?” Bernice Panhandle had never looked more beautiful than when she uttered thes words. At least so thought Bertram Callo- way, as he viewed the finely chiscled protile of the young heiress as it was outlinca against the scarlet draperies near whic she leared in half expectant attitude. ‘Tais young girl"had indeed all that a vast for- tune and a boundless love can well bestow. Her father, having made the mistake of starting out early in life and owning his own home, had struggled for years against what seemed overwhelming odds, but his native pluck and dogged persistence had turned the tide, and he was now accounted one of the wealthiest property owners in his ward. Bernice, however, remained the same simple, artless girl that she was when the bills for plumbing and other repairs had kept them in such straitened circumstances. Some time before she had met the young man who now stood before her, and had been strangely moved and attracted to- werd him by the story of his lonely life, as with rare insistence she had drawn jt from him little by little during his frequent calls. And so it was that she had determined to make him happy by inviting him to join in the little home gathering which always took place in their house on Christmas eve, and it was the young man’s unexpected but polite refusal that had drawn forth the re- mark which opens the story. “No, Miss Panhandle,” he replied once more, & faint smile lighting up his pale and patrician features. “Believe me, it is better TREE ORNAMENTS, From ¢!

It is too true, as I have in an un- suarded moment hinted, that with the an- nual recurrence of the yuletide season, and particularly on the night before Christmas, when all the world is so gay in contrast, the loneliness of my existence Is likely to press upon me more than at other times. But you cannot have estimated the—er— delicacy of my motives if you think for one moment that I would willingly intrude at such a time upon the sacred spirit of a family gathering. Moved by the finest of impulses, doubtless on the spur of the mo- ment, you have thought to cheer my lonely life, but what would your father say if he knew what you had done?” “What would my father say?” she re- Deated, vaguely. “Why, papa knows all about it. I spoke to him yesterday.” “Then,” said her companion, wading rapidly through the eight-doliar-a-yard carpet, and swiftly throwing his arms around the one girl in all the world for him, “my own heart’s darling, you can count on me every time. I didn’t know you wanted me to come as one of the family.”. ———~+-o-_______ A Welcome Holiday Gift.

TEDDY CURRENT SPORTING eS DS NOTES The interest in the big six-day, eighi- hour race at the Ice Palace, which will start Monday afternocn at 2 o'clock, is in- creasing, and the prospects are that a large crowd will witness the daily appearance of the riders. The men in the race are after the hard cash, and are what can be termed “old stagers." ‘Everyone has hal expe- rience in six-day races of all kinds, and they can stand almost any kind of an en- durance ride. The coming race is recog- nized as being one of the tightest ever con- tested, anf’ all of the entrants in the city are getting in trim for the event. Charlie Ashinger, who rode cn his machine from Indianapolis to New York and took part in the six days’ go-as-you-please race, is in the city. He has not ridden any since that event, and yesterday started in training. He has a small home trainer,which is at the Ice Palace, and, going into a side room, he put his bicycle in place, dressed in his racing costume, and made things hum for an hour. He will increase his time riding every day during the week, and will probably ride as much as three hours at a time the latter part of the week. The other members of Ed. Plummer’s contingent are practicing at the international Athletic Park, reeling off miles at a time. The general cpinion of all the entrants is that a time race is much harder than a go- as-you-please race. In the latter race a rider can rest when he-feels like it, but in a time race every lap counts, and it is risky to get off the wheel even once during the riding time. As an illustration of this Ashinger when in a six-day eight-hour race at Omaha scme time ago lost a few min- utes, feeling unwell. When he got back on the track again the leading man was seven laps ahead of him, and it took just three days in which to catch up to the lead again. Teddy Hale, the winner of the recent six days’ race at Madison Square Garden in New York city, is expected in the city today in company with Plummer. The other ten members of Plummer’s contingent are al- ready in the city, enjoying themselves, and keeping in trim. Hale came across the ocean with Plummer, dnd when he started at Madison Square he was considered one of the weakest men in Plummer’s string. The supposed stars gave out, and Plummer was compelled to tle to Hale, and the plucky litue Irishman rode on to victory. The talk of Linton riding in the six-day race is all bosh. He is a long-distance rider, but he would not stand much of a show in such a long race. He has been in the city for several days, and is very quiet and uncommunicative. Building the Track. The. track is expected to arrive in the city the latter part of the;week from New York. It will be put in plate ‘without any annoy- ance to the patrons of the Ice Palace. Work on its erection will not commence until mld- night Saturday, and pushed forward as rapidly as possible, -\t being expected that everything will be in readiness to start the race Monday morning, if desired. Several improvements will be made in the track, which will prove of benefit to the riders, and enable them to make better time. When in place in New Yagk Ahere were several defects, and as many’humps, which had the effect of making the riders sore. less to say It is need- will be remedied t the Ice Palace. urday, the track will be sixteen feet wide, and will be one twelfth of a mile irtiength, It is of pin planed and smoothed, dnd ‘cfosely joined, té prevent too much vibration to the riders. Though the general impression is that a smooth wooden track is much faster than one of unplaned floor boards, the six-day racers seem to think different. One of them stated yesterday to a Star reporter that a track of undressed pine flooring would be at least four seconds faster to the mile, and this short time counts considerably in that distance. On an undressed pine ticor- ing track it is calculated that a mile can be ridden in two minutes, and only a tew days ago at Phfladelphia, Charlie Martin rode a half mile on such a track in 1 The racers expect to average 10 miles a night, or rather, during the eight tours, rot counting any accidents or sickness. This may not seem to be so much, but a little figuring on the matter will prove in- teresting. One mile is twelve laps, and ten miles makes 120 laps. Twenty-five miles will make 300 laps, while fifty miles will make an-even 660 laps. For 10) miles each rider will have gone around the track 1,200 times, while for 150 miles, the total number of circuits will amount to 1,400. If each rider succeeds in covering 160 miles during the eight hours he will have completed 1,920 laps, or 80 short of 2,000, To make the necessary 900 miles, which each rider will have to do before securing a vrize, the riders will have made 7,200 circuits. Ashinger's Record. Perhaps one of the best known of the racers is Charles W. Ashinger of New Hope, Ohio, the post office of which village is Upshur. He is a native of Ohio, and was born just thirty-seven years ago. He is an old hand at long-distance riding, and has won more such events than all other riders who will participate. He first began riding in 1884, and had scarcely been mounted three months, when he started in racing, and won the one, two and three-mile state champiorships of Ohio, at a meet held in August of 1884 at Cleveland. In 1891 he started his first long-distance race at San Francisco, which was a seven- day eight-hour affair. He won this with 830 miles to his credit, beating out Robb by only half a lap. In the same year he en- tered a six-day twelve-hour race at Madi- son Square Garden. He made 1,046 miles, which won the race. The finish was excep- tionally close, and he only won by about six inches from Lamb. Of late he has been doing very little rac- ing. In 1893 he entered a six-day go-as-you- please race at Madison Square, but he was run into by Waller and forced to quit the race. Shock won this race with 1,600 1-10 miles. In 1894 he entered a twenty-four hour race at the same place. Waller won this, with 432 miles, while Ashinger made 428 miles. His last race was the one held two weeks ago at Madison Square. He rode in poor trim, and, though he covered 1,673 miles, he was down in the list of finishers. He feels confident that he will win the coming race, and that the score of the winner will be in the vicinity of 1,000 miles, if it doessnot exceed that figure. He changed his mount in 1801 from an upright to a safety, and at first he did_not like the new machine, He became used to it, however. In the Gag he will ride a wheel geared to eighty-eight, but on his road wheel he uses: a seventy gear. He comparatively little training. When in trim he rides from fifty to seventy-five miles a day, and, though bicycling is his hobby, he is-an expext: f the’ construction of wooden tracks, ant his built a number all over the country.

The Athletic Treaty Likely to -Fall ‘ Through. F A Cambridge, Mass., special says’ that {t seems to be almost certain that the ne- gotictiors for an athletic treaty between Yale and Harvard will fail, and that the two universities will meet-in,.no. branch of sport during 1807. It is now disclosed that several weeks ago, when the first ap- preaches toward a new treaty were made by graduates of Yale and Harvard, it was understood that any such treaty ought to include all sports or none. The oppesition of Yale to rowing Cornell and Harvard's disinclination to rowing two four-mile races in one season are respon- sible for the deadlock which, «under : the earlier, understanding, affects all branches of athletics, It is understood that in base ball, track athletics and foot ball, sub- stantial agreement was reached, leaving only minor details to be ranged. The only solution of the difficulty is for Yale to consent to enter the intercollegiate re- Gatta, in which Harvard will row. The Blues, it is admitted, can hardly ask Har- vard to handicap herself with two long races, nor can they ask the Crimsons to break their agreement to row Cornell. HAD A SHORT CAREER. Close of the Racing at the Half-Mile Track. 2 The winter race meeting at the Magruder track, in Maryland, a short distance be- ycnd the District line, came to an inglori- ous end yesterday. The meeting was open- ed Thursday last, and while, as was point- ed out in The Star, its success was doubt- ed from the first, it was not supposed that its life would be so short. ‘The purses were but $125, and small as they were it is claimed that many of them remain unpaid. From the first the venture proved a losing one, the borses engaged being of the most inferior grade, even for an outlaw track, and but two books doing business. The trouble culminated just after the first race yesterday. In some way it be- came apparent that the purse would not be forthccming, and a Mr. Glos, who is understood to have financially backed the enterprise. agreed to put up $# for the race. It was run, but three horses start- ing, but after that no more funds were in sight, and the meeting was declared off. ‘The track is said to have cost over $4,000, and it is understood that the men who put up the grandstand and other buildings and built and graded the track remain unpaid. To W. H. Ast the concern was turned over by Presidént Koppel, Ast being the representative, it was said, of the creditors. The few horses at the meeting will be taken to Elkton, Md., whore a winter mee:ing commenc Christmas day. SPECTATORS WERE INDIGNANT. Referee Mantz's Decision in the Wil- son-Marshall Fight Denounced. ‘The sparring contest between Jerry Mar- shall of Australia and Howard Wilson, the light-weight champion of the District, which took place at the Suburban road house last night, was a great disappoint- ment to the hardy “sports” who braved the wind and snow to see it. Fifteen tounds were fought, consisting principally of clinches, and, to the surprise of a great majority of the spectators, Mr. George Mantz, the referee, promptly awarded the fight to Marshall, when it was patent to everybody that, with the possible exception of the first three or four rounds, Wilson had the better of every exchange. He had Marshall “groggy” when time was called in the last round, and would havé finished him if another round had been ordered. The referee was roundly scored by the indignant spectators, and his decision was openly denounced as a “bare-faced rob- bery.” Mr. Mantz, who is well known in this city, is the official referee of the Eureka Athletic Club of Baltimore, of which Mr. Al. Herford, the backer of Marshall, Is the president. Bowling. The bowling committee of the Columbia” Athletic Club has under consideration the giving of another tourney on the alley: which will most likely be a ten-pin affai ‘The success*of the nine-pin tourney, which closed Saturday evening, has induced this, the interest in the tourney being very great. In the major bowling league the lead of the Saengerbund is regarded as almost safe enough to give the club the cham- pionship for this season. The other two clubs -in the league may, however, regain their form, and wrest the championship honors from the present leaders. —_s = SEEING WITH THE SOUL'S EYE. Psychologists Listen to Remarkable Statements and Believe Strange ‘Things. From the Buffalo Courier. The Buffalo Psychical Research Society met yesterday afternoon at Dr. Sarah Morris’ home, on Franklin street, to listen to Senor Jullan de Ovies on “The X Rays of Psychology a Known Quantity.” Senor de Ovies spoke for over an hour on the fundamental principles of psychology, pointing out the mistake participated in quite generally even by savants, that psy- chology was the science of the mind as it affected the properties of the five senses, and as their functions are known and ob- served. It is not in this way that the lec- turer treated his subject. He went further than this. With the physical eye man can see ob- jects. His range of vision can pierce a lim- ited distance in space. All this his mental eye can do, and much more. The mental eye is restricted by no distance limitations. Senor de Ovies taught that the blind man whose sightless orbs stare into vacancy in a Physical sense, can yet see by means of his mental eye. He dispelled the terrors of blindness. Not by word of mouth did he Prove his assertion, but he essayed to give practical demonstration of its truth. The audience, which filled all the available space in the parlors, listened with rapt attention to the truly wonderful doctrines voiced by the lecturer, and when it came to demon- strating his beliefs, and expositions of the powers of the mental eye were given, the audience was spellbound. It is hard to be- lieve that a blind man can read a book. Yet he did it. He gave answers blindfold to written questions which he had never seen. He distinguished colors by the sense of feeling alone. More than this, he dis- tinguished colors without so much as touching them. But before making these demonstrations he explained the reasons why they were made possible. He said that he was not possessed of any occult gitts peculiar to himself. Any person excepting a fool or an imbecile had within him this mind’s eye, which could be brought under control if a Proper knowledge of the workings and pos- sibilities were understood. The student in pyschical research educates the god within him, while the physical man only educates the animal within him. The X ray can only please that sense called sight, while the X ray of the soul is that which sees because it feels. When we see objects with our soul's eye We need no sense of touch; we need no physical eyes to see, nor ears to hear. He cited the case of the famous Kellar, who is blind, deaf and dumb, yet reads and writes on subjezts which a per- son with physical sight would think it were absolut@y imperative to see in order to de- scribe. She is enabled to do this by the X ray of the soul which every man and wo- man possesses. “Jesus Christ never came on earth to mystify us,” said Senor de Ovies. “The de- velopment of psychical power belongs ta | every one of us, and can be assisted by | proper diet, proper mode of living, charity, love to all, and other aids to a more rapid development. The soul is the real ‘us,’ the ego. When we speak of the mind of man in the generally accepted sense, we make a mistake. It has nothing to do with the soul whatsoever. There is an enveloping something which surrounds and is attached to the body of every being by a cord. This is called the ora. This ora may go far from the body, may cross lands and seas, but it is still connected with the body by ‘the in- separable cord which acts as an agent of communication between the two. “A gland is situated at the base and back part of the brain, which is known as the pineal eye,” said the speaker. “I defy any anatomist to explain any physical function for this gland. It is the seat of the soul.” Senor de Ovies then exhibited several pieces of different colored cloths, and said he would show that a person carefuliy blindfolded can tel! the different colors by sense of touch. Three subjects in the au- dience volunteered their services. One was blindfolded so as to preclude any possi- bility of seeing. A disinterested person then gave the subject ‘one of the pieces of cloth to touch with the fingers. Promptly the subject would tell the color. This dem- onstration was several times repeated. Last of all the lecturer himself showed the re- markable capabilities of the mental eye. First his eyes were closed and sealed with adhesive plasters. Two napkins were fo'd- ed over his eyes, and bourid on with a black handkerchief. An assistant volunteered to wave the cloths before his face, and he told each separate color. Members colored articles to test the lecturer. This exhibition wa’ explained as the results of ether waves acting on the soul's eye. But most surprising was the concluding exhibition: Several notes written on paper and passed to Senor blind- Reduced Rates VIA Miss | Vania Ral FROM WASHINGTON TO BALTIMORE, 0D oo sks cis cosesicssect snes 1QthO WILMINGTON, DEL CHESTER; PA:.......
