After Dr. Stearns’ lecture at Central Union Mission last week a meeting was called of those interested in providing a better home for girls who work for their living as clerks, seamstresses, typewriters and in stmilar occupations. The plan pre- sented was to open a boarding house, with such prices that girls of the class indicated could board there, and at the same time enjoy a home as well as a boarding plac. Mrs. M. B. Graves was made presiden Mrs. E. W. Bliss, vice president; Mrs. Wii iam H. Baker, recording secretary, and Miss Ackland of 513 street northwest, corresponding secretary and temporary treasurer. It ts believed that such an in- stitution would be self-sustaining if once under headway. —— Am Old Timer. John J. Connors, alias Hicksey, alias Hicks Connors, was today sent to the workhouse for four months by Judge Kim- ball as a suspicious character. The case Was prosecuted by Detective Weedon, but the arrest was made by Detective Rhodes, who took Connors into custody at the Bal- timore and Potomac station Friday last. Connors was recognized by a visiting de- tective from Brooklyn, N. Y., as a noted pickpocket and “stone getter,” who pointed him out to Mr. Rhodes. While on trial to- day the accused admitted all that was charged against him by Detective Weedon and also that his picture and record were in Byrnes" book of “Rogues.” Judge Kimbeil was caustic in reviewing the case, and among other things said to the accused: “You crooks think you can come to Washington to work your schemes and tf you get caught sent out of town, but I think that you ought to wear stripes, and I will every one of your ilk who comes before me to I tree "SESS WITH THE FIGHTERS Prospect of Better Weather at the FITZSIMONS BENT ON OUTDOOR WORK Wisconsin College Athletes to Come East. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES CARSON, Nev., March 8.—There seems to be a prospect of better weather today than Carson has seen during the last week, and the snow is going rapidly. There will be no chance of road work for either Fitz- simmons or Corbett, although the former declared that no matter how much mud or snow covered the roads he will not fore- go his daily exercise out of doors. This is not the wisest thing in the world for Fitz- simmons to do, as he has not yet entirely recovered from the cold that has troubled him so long, and splashing through the wet snow and mud will in no way tend to relieve his trouble. He came into town as usual yesterday morning in company with Dan Hickey and Yarrum, and after remaining a short time took the homeward track, going at a lively pace. He was compelled to remove all of his footgear at once upon his return, as both shoes and stockings were damp. He took little exercise in the morning, reserv- ing his energy for hard work during the afternoon. Corbett spent the morning leisurely, most of the time walking about the place, play- ing with his dogs and writing letters. Late in the forenoon he put in a little time at hand ball, but played easily without any effort to make the work hard or fast. A good rub down and massage finished off the work before lunch. It has been decided that the tickets for the Siler-Hogan special, which is to leave Chicago about the 13th instant, will have attached a coupon calling for a reserved seat at the ringside. There have been set aside fer this party of excursionists ond hundred and fifty seats at $20 each, and fifty-one seats at $40 each. It seems also that the tickets of the Alton railroad will have a coupon calling for a seat, a high or a low-priced one, as may be desired; and it Is not improbable that other roads may make similar arrangements, to save pas- sengers the annoyance of getting seats after their arrival here. The Siler-Hogan train will go over the Alton to Kansas City, thence via the Union Pacific to Og- dem, the Southern Pacific to Reno and the Virginia and Truckee to Carson. A rate of $39.90 from Salt Lake to this city and return has been announced. TALKING OF SECESSIO Minnesota Bicyclists May Lenve the MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., March 8.—Minne- sota bicycle riders are talking of seceding from the League of American Wheelmen, and, in connection with the states of North and South Dakota, form an independent league, for the controf of cycling racing in the northwest. Circular letters have been sent to every wheelman of note in the section interested in the proposed movement, and the responses indicate that the sentiment in favor of throwing off the league control is general among: the racing contingent. The men who are at the head of the movement are all members of the league, and are prominent in racing circles in_the northwest. The plan proposed contemplates the formation of a league somewhat similar to the League of American Wheelmen, and which will work along the same lines as that organization. The principal difference between the two bodies will be that the new league will admit professionals on the same terms as amateurs, and will also issue sanctions for Sunday racing whenever de- sired. The lines between the amateurs and professionals will be drawn as closely in the new league as in the old one, and care will be taken to keep the sport as clean as it has ever been under League of American Wheelmen control. WISCONSIN COLLEGE ATHLETES, They Will Take Part In the Field and Track Sports in the East. CHICAGO, March 8.—Participation in the Mott Haven games for the intercollegiate track and field championships of America is the incentive which spurs the stars of the University of Wisconsin track athletic team to their best endeavors in preliminary training. Five or six of the best men will be sent east and they hope to win several events for the cardinal of the badger uni- versity. * The visit of the Wisconsin men will be the first incursion of a western ‘varsity team into eastern territory since the star aggregation from the University of California competed in New York. The athletic fever is high at Madison. The victories of the foot ball team, the agreement for a boat race with Yale and the intention to send athletes have aroused the student body to a high pitch. Although a better track team than ever is expected to represent the University of Madison, a formidable rival is promised for the championship of the western inter- collegiate Amateur Athletic Association. The University of California is considering the advisability of sending representatives to the annual college games to be held in Chicago. The prowess of the sturdy giants from the Pacific coast who took the championship home with them in 1805 is well remembered here. HOCKEY. An exciting game of hockey was played at the Ice Palace Saturday night between the Washington and Regent teams, the former winning by a score of 1 to 0. The game almost developed into a foot ball match at times, and a disregard of team play all the way through was noticeable. The Washingtons made thelr goal in the first half and after that the play was of the most stubborn character. The line-up follows: Regent. | Washington. Lindsley .| Posey .| Cotton .|Morris | Ey oe Referee—Dr. Walker. Gough and Hewes. Albany Whisters Win Again. The whist team of the Albany Club won its seventh successive victory and ninth game in the championship contest for the American Whist League trophy Saturday night, defeating the Boston Duplicate Whisa Club by one point. ‘The game was hotly contested. In the second half the home team lost in the two last rounds, but not enough to overcome the lead it had gained in the earlier part of the contest. Joe Bateman Defeated. At the Polo Athletic Club, New York, Sat- urday night Frank Brennan of Brooklyn got the decision of Joe Bateman of Wash- ington; Muldoon’s Pickaninny, Bill Hill, tested Pepper Griffin of Philadelphia; Billy Rochfort of Chicago defeated Patsy Brod- erick of New York. The last and mati event of the evening was to have been be- tween Mike Sears of Boston and John Glynn of Wilmington, Del. Glynn failed to appear and Mike Lyons was substituted for him. The men fought ten rounds at catch- ts, and the referee decided in favor of Sears. Te in the Pittsburg Tournament. The short-stop billiard tournament in Pittsburg, Pa., closed Saturday night. Spinks played a great game, his average run of 36 4-11 establishing anew record for short-stop games, the previous record be- ing 30. In the totals Spinks, Sutton and Gallagher tied for first place Sparring at Hot Springs.

The dates the Harvard-Princeton base ball games, wRich the two: managements settled at New York Saturday, have been given out, a3 ‘follows: First game, May 15, at Princetén; second game, May 29, at Cambridge; third game (in case of tle), June 1 or 2, on neutral ground. The exact date and place of the deciding game has not been finally settled. Will Sue the Reds. CINCINNATI, Ohio, March 8.—A special to the Commercial Tribune from Frank- fort, Ky., says: Attorney. General Taylor is preparing to sue the Cincinnati Base Ball Club, which is a Kentucky corpora- tion. One suit will be for taxes on the franchise since 1888 and the other for failing to make annual reports to the state auditor. These suits will call for thou- sands of dollars from the management. The New |Vferchandising. The opening of a brand new clothing concern is not in itself a matter of vital importance to the population of Washington, yet this store will contain much of interest, much that is new, much that is original. There will be new men, new methods, new ideas—new methods in particu- lar, new methods in merchandising, more modern methods, methods, more honorable methods perhaps. The new store is not going to revolutionize the world, or even the smaller world of Washington, but it is the culmination, the natural planning, of years of experience, of the most advanced ideas in trading.

Landing at the key, they started to hunt for their prey. At noon of the second day he was seen coiled up on the carcass of a small doe that he had caught. As Ralston approached, the snake lifted up its head and hissed. The Indians ran back, but Ralston boldly approached the reptile and attempted to put a bag over its head. This irritated the snake, and it struck at kim, its curved fangs catching in his coat. Its big tail coiled around him quick as tight- ning, and in a moment he was squeezed to Mrs. Fitzsimmons, “and all but two get | a tree, where he was being slowly crushed along smoothly with their wives, and are | to death.

One of the Indians, however, plucked up courage, and, running up, caught hold of the se! pent’s tail, and tried to get Ralston re- leased. He succeeded in unwinding a por- tion, and, his companions coming up, they managed to release Ralston. He was about half dead at this time. They carried him out of the reach of the now thoroughly .ebraged serpent. After an hour's rest they again tackled it. This time the two In- dians plucked up courage to engage its at- tention for a moment, and Ralston, rush- ing up hastily, pushed its head into a long canvas bag. Then the fun began.

The American Liner Encounters a Lot of Rough Weather. When the American Line steamship St. Louis arrived at New York yesterday after- noon from Southampton she reported that the passage was the most tempestuous she had ever made. Fresh gales blew from the southwest and northwest during the first two days out, when she logged respectively 475 and 379 miles. The wind increased to a heavy gale from the west to the southwest, and blew without cessation for sixty hours. During this time there were terrific squalls and extremely high seas. When the Newfoundland banks were reached, moderate weather and fog were met with, From the banks to Port Strong variable winds prevailed. long and weighed 1171-2 pounds. Its head was like a bucket in size, and it had iong, cruel-looking fangs. Ralston thinks this is not the real orig- inal snake, but a smaller one, as he saw traces of a much larger one. ‘The natives tell of a big one seen there over seventy- five feet in length, and as big as a barrel. Two stories are told, and vouched for of parties going there to hunt, and disappear- ing. Indians can be hired to go there only by the payment of a big price. At the Smithsonian Institution and also at the National Museum no advices have been received as to the reported capture of a python. No such man as Ralston is on the roll of employes of either the museum or the Smithsonian Institution. Whenever a man is sent out from the Agricultural Depirtment or, in fact, any of the govern- ment offices on a special undertaking he always has the interests of both the Smith- sonian Institution and the National Mu- seum before him, and anything he may se- cure is gladly received by the authorities. It may have been one of these men who secured the big serpent. ————— False Report of Mexican Hostility. The story telegraphed from Mexico to the United States that bitter feelings exist among Mexicans on account of the demand for restoration of the flags captured from American troops in the war of 1847 and that American ladies are insulted in the streets is pronounced a pure fabrication. No demand has been made for the flags nor has any committee appeared from the United States. ————_+e+—____ An Intercollegiate Debate. ‘The fourth annual debate between repre- sentatives of Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania, which took place at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia Satur- day night, was won by the former.
