Fargo Dispatch tn Chicago Chronicle. From Cape Town, Africa, to Fargo is a far cry, but a member of the divorce colony here, Mrs. Mary McCallum, has made the trip for the purpose of being legally sep- arated from her husband. Mrs. McCallum hes gone out im society a few times and became somewhat of a celebrity from her pronounced ability as a vocalist. She had one of the most prominent legal firms in Fargo to look after her interests, and one member of it has just returned from Lon- €on, where he went in her behalf. Cruelty and desertion were the grounds upon which she hoped to secure her decree, and the Prospects seemed very bright for her until the legal representatives of her husband appeared in court and were granted per- mission to amend the answer to the com- Plaint. In doing so they sprang a surprise, &s the amended papers charge her with adultery and name one Gust, a staff cor. respondent of the Pall Mall Gazette at Cape Town, now of London, and Lieut. Forman of the English army as_co-re- spondents. “This will insure a bitter fight in the case. The McCallums lived in Cape Town until their domestic trouble occurred, when the wife came to North Dakota for her divorce, and the husband returned to London, where he has gone into business. Mrs. McCallum has wealthy relatives in London, who are backing her in the case, and it is alleged that she will marry an En- nobleman if s1 im her divorce Proceedings. “ey EE PERT TRA CCT TP EP INTEL PECT RNY TERE CTT EERE TES CUE MT TETTET ET ET ETT ELL ET CEE AE CUT MEET TTT CT BRT WMT ORT CECT PTTL ETPGL Ty (RE PURE IC aw ie Attempt to Break the Wheeling Reo- ord to New York. ROAD RACE THROUGH THE MUD High School Foot Ball Games for the Championship. LATE BASE BALL NOTES In the face of a downpour of rain and a heavy head-on wind that told them of a disagreeable trip over muddy roads, B. Frank McDaniel of Wilmington and Frank Dampman of Philadelphia, the veteran rac- ing men, left Washington yesterday morn- ing on their much-talked-of race to break the record between Washington and New York, says the Philadelphia Press. The start was made from the Capitol bu:lding, and, notwithstanding the inclem- ent weather, many cyclists were present to see the wheelmen start on their great race against time. McDaniel was allowed an hour's handicap over Dampman, who was to overtake him before reaching the finish at the city hall in New York. It was 5 o’cleck when McDanlel’s pace- makers started off, with the Wilmingtonian in hot pursuit, and as the riders disap- peared from view those who gathered to see the start shook their heads, and all agreed that in view of the rain, which was bound to render the roads muddy and heavy, both Dampman and McDaniel would fail in their record-breaking attempt. At precisely 6 o'clock, when Dampman mounted his wheel and prepared for the start, W. S. Ray, the professional racing man, was selected to pace him out of Washington, fresh pacemakers being sta- tioned along the line. Ray staried out at a Zimmerman clip, and ta less time than it takes to tell was carrying Dampman through the driving rain storm in record- breaking fashion. Near Ellicott City, eighteen miles from the starting point, Dampman passed Mc- Daniel, who kad given up the race. Mc- Daniel was covered with mud from head to foot, and his wheel was a sight. Damp- man continued, shaking his pacemakers, and continued on to Perryville, Md., where he decided to give up, seeing that to con- tinue would be useless. He was soaked to the skin and covered with mud. He reach- ed Perryville abcut 3 p.m. Everything was against the riders, but they made a gallant attempt to accomplish their self-imposed and glory-seeking task. As soon as the weather and roads improve the men will make a secbnd attempt. HIGH SCHOOL FOOT BALL. Ga: That Will Take Place This Week. The Eastern and Busiress High School teams will meet this afternoon at National Park. Tne game will consist of twenty- minute halves, and while it is rather ex- pected that Easterns will come out on top of the heap the Business boys will make the most creditable fight they are able to put up. ‘The teams will line up as follows: Eastern. Position. Business. J. .-Newton Choplyn Stark. right halfback. -full back.. Berry The Western High School eleven will play the Central team Friday on Georgetown field. The Western line up follows: Mulligan, left end; Hayden, left tackle; Smith, left guard; Miller, center; Chamber- lsin, right guard; Gordon, right tackle; Manakee, right end; Brewer, quarter back: Ferno, right half back; Smart, left half back; Buck, full back. MAGNATES AT PHILADELPHIA. The Wagners and Von Der Ahe Failed to Appear. The Philadelphia Inquirer today says: The National League magnates began to arrive last night, and brought with them enough knitting to keep them busy for the better part of three days. It has been many a moon since Philadelphia has had in “her midst” such a notable collection of base ball celebrities, but at that “her midst” will be able to stand it if the celeb- rities can. Last night the board of arbitra- tion got together and fixed up their little story, and today the magnates will proceed to make history, and incidentally keep the newspaper push guessing. The outcome of the meeting will be awaited with a great deal of interest by local cranks. Col. Rogers is said to have more deals stored away in the dreamy recesses of his think- tank than a U. G. I. councilman could work out in a year, and the very fact that they are being entertained by the colonel is a sufficient guarantee of their “eminent re- “pectability.” The board cf arbitration cut a lemon at % lust evening, and ‘hen retired to the ninth floor of the Hotel Walton, where for three hours they pow-wowed. The most important finding of that august body was that William Eagan, formerly of Syracuse, belongs to the Pittsburg ctuh. The Syra- cuse-Brooklyn deal was declared void. The big fry of the minor leagues was called into council late ‘n the evening. ‘They had gathered to protest against the Present reserve rules. James Hart of the board suggested that the minor gentlemen be given time for organization—to get to- gether as it were. Their miseries will te submitted in writing. Another matter that the board passed on was the miaimum rate of salary on new Players asked for by the Louisville, Boston and Chicago clubs. It was granted. ‘the amount is $600. The corridors of the Walton are crowded with magnates, ball players of the past, present and future managers from ail over the country. The minor leagues are largely represented. The league men who did not show up were the Wagners of Washington and Chris Von der Ahe, St. Louis. Both are expected early today, when the meeting of the league begins. No deals of any kind were sprung. Among the well-known “biz leaguers” who were hunting for excitement last night were: A. H. Soden and W. Hi. Conant of Boston, Charles F. Byrne and F. A. Abell of Brooklyn, Andrew Freedman, New York; James Hart of Chicago, President N. K. Young of Washington, President Harry Pulliam of Louisville, John B. Day, chief of umpires; John T. Brush of Cincinnati, Frank Robison of Cleveland, Col. John 1. Rogers and Al. Reach of the Philadelphia club, Secretary Shettsline and Manager Stallings, Tom Brown of Washington, Fred Clark of Louisville, W. H. Watkins of Pittsburg, and Stanley Robinson of Cleve- land and W. W. King of Pittsburg. There will be no lack of entertainment for the visiting magnates and newspaper men. After the more exacting of the leaguers’ functions have been performed today, they will take things easily tomor- row. In the evening the entire ‘outfit will be the guests of the Philadelphia club at a banquet at the Hotel Bellevue;on Thurs- day there will be a night in Bohemia at the Pen and Pencil Club, and on Friday the visitors will be taken on a tally-hod trip through the park, winding up with a sup- per at Indian Rock, or a trip will be taken down the river. ONLY TWO FAVORITES WOK. ‘The Other Winners at Benning Were Backed. Well Despite the inclement weather and a slow track, the racing yesterday at the second dey of the fall meeting of the Washington Jockey Club over the Benning track was first-class, and while but two favorites wen, the other winners were well backed in each instance. The attendance was not s9 large as on Saturday, because of the threat- ening weather, but the speculation was much heavier. In every race but the last the fields were large, and they were sent off in good shape by Starter Fitzpatrick in Pie seem, five and a half furlongs—Hi 107 (Simms), 5 to 1, won-by a THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1897-14 PAGES. fength; Vinita, 104 (Coyiie) to 1, second: ee th (Collins), 30 ek third.

Plucky Wheelmen Undeterred by Rain and Mud. ‘The twenty-mile road race through rain and mud on the Conduit road yesterday af- ternoon was won by W. A. Bolden of the Century Cycle Club team, who had four minutes, aud thirty seconds handicap over the scratch men. “‘Tony” -Gateski of the same’ tub, who rode from the same distance with Bolden, eame in second. Rupp ran third, just ahead of Counselman. Pittman finished fifth, and Edw. Hanger sixth. Four Century Club men finished among the first six riders. The time prize was won by Al. Moran, who, together with George Smith, E. Wil- son and Leo Darnemiller, rode from scratch. Moran went the twenty miles in 1.12.30 2-5, beating Counselman’s time by 52-5 seconds. Counselman secured the second time prize and E. Wilson third. Of the scratch men, Moran came first; Wil- son, second, and George Smith, third. Dannemiller stopped riding after about ten miles. The riders started at 4:30. Following is a list of the entries, with the correct time of those that finished: Paeerererererereyovererererevevererenereyereret LIVING WHIST. Unique Game to Be Played at Plninfield, N. J. In spite of the result of Saturday’s game, the Plainfield, N. J., whist experts will have pienty of chance to show their skill this week in a different way. An enter- tainment for the benefit of the Muhlenberg Hospital began last night and will last for a week. This affair is termed the “spielkartenfest,” and will take piace at the Crescent Rink, Plainfield, which has the largest floor surface of any building in New Jersey. The New Yerk Tribune thus describes ft: The “spielkartenfest” is a game of living whist. Four players manipulate more ‘han. a pesteboard pack of cards, for Real live aces, With conquering faces, step forth at a signal; crowned kings ap- pear with royal scepters; beautiful queens play their parts with royal elegance and gracious mien; jacks lord it over the spcts, and every combination of spots obeys the behest of skillful players, ee The Park Club of Plainfield, composed of Samuel St. J. McCutchen, Samuel Town- send, George T. Rogers and J. H. Howell, the champion whist players of the state, will play the game after this manner: The fifty-two cards wiil be shuftied by the court jester in an enchanting dance, and also dealt to the four players, the last one being trump. The value >f the cards is plainly seen on an apron worn by the women and on a cape worn by <he men. The deal is made out of sight of thé four wings of the stage, where the players stand, each living impersonation carrying a@ corresponding card for the use of the player, to whom it is given when dealt. When a card is played, a page brings its living impersonation to the front of the stage. The court jester, dancing all the time, leads the trick to the winning side and scores the result on a blackboard at the rear of the stage. Only one hand is Played each evening, and the interest deepens each night for tnose watchful of the score. New 21-Hour Rond Record. Frank B. German of Brockton, Mass., broke the American 24-hour bicycle road record by riding 342 miles between 4 p.m. Friday and the same hour Saturday. The former record, 316 miles, was held by El- mer C. Davis of Baltimore. German also broke the 12-hour record of 176 miles by riding 192 miles in the same time. The course was from Brockton to Franklin Park, Boston, a round distance of 54 miles, repeated six times, and ending with a spurt ride to Stoughton. He finished the 342d mile just seven minutes before the expira- tion of the twenty-four hours, and, being near his home, stopped rather than ride out the even hour. Championship Hand Ball. Hand Ball Champion Carney and Fire- man Keegan of Chicago played the first seven games of their series for the world’s championship on Sunday in Chicago. Six games of Sunday's series were won by Car- ney, whose terrific drives told against the cool, scientific methods of his opponent. The score, with the winner's figures given first, was: 16—21, 214, 21-14, 21-10, 21—7, 21-11, 2i—6. The match will be concluded next Sunday. Not Engaged as Coach. The report that John M. Kennedy, for- merly a professional oarsman of this city, had been engaged to assist “Bob” Cook in coaching the Yale University crew is pro- nounced by Captain Cook to be erroneous. Captain Cook, in an interview, said that Kennedy has been hired to care for the boats at the Yale boat house, and, under the orders of Captain Cook, will make al- terations in the shells. Kennedy for some years was in charge of the St. Paul Boat club house at St. Paul. Race to Frederick Postponed. The 100-mfle match race between the Century Cycie Club and the Arlington Wheelmen, which was to be run off to- morrow, has been postponed until next Monday at the same time. This was de- cided upon last night at a meeting be-, tween Captain Ed. Byrnes of the Century Club and Captain Frank Potts of the Ar- Ungton Wheelmen. This action was taken on account of the recent rains, which have made the condition of the roads unfit for riding. The same rules and officials will govern the coming contest. -_-———— Rubber-Lined Warships.

First in importance is the tremendous leakage in gas at ‘the city gas works, as discovered hy the experts. who examined the works at the request of the city council, when it was charged chat the establishment was badly mismanaged. It is sald the management: has failed to account for about nine million feet of gas annually, and it is understood a committee will be appointed to investigate the whole bvusi- ners, Certain it is, gay some of ihe citi- zens, if the city can get ri@ of nine million feet of gas without revenue the “breakage” should be stopped and at once, and the citizens’ gas bills reduced in proportion. Another matter that will probably come up is the report of the committee on gen- eral laws, recommending that the speed of the electric trains running through the city be made eight miles an hour and making it compulsory upon the railroad company to place fenders on. all their motor cars, and also to stop their cars at all street crossings when passengers may wish to alight. The matter of speed and fenders is thought to. be important by a great many people. Many are opposed to stopping the cars at evéry corner. They think it will ada greatly to the length of time in run- ning from Hooff’s Run to Franklin street and make many delays. They say, In sup- pert of their argument, that the electric railway tompany now gives Alexandrians four stations where they. had but one be- fore.. What Alexandrians would like to see is a reduction in the fare between Alex- andria and Washington. Cireuit Court.

McCorkle-was painfully but not seriously injured, and it is thought will recover in a short whffe. ‘ About two years ago, while out gunning, Pine shot a companion with a shotgun, and at the time ciaimed that it was done accidentally. The mayor cautioned him this morning to be more careful in handling firearms in the future. 2 Meeting Last Night. There ;was a called meeting of Andrew Jackson Lodge, A. F. and A.

COMMON LAW PLEADING; Its History and Prin- ineinding Dicey’s Rules Concerning Par- volume on pleading combining all of the best features cf the standard works on the subject, together with the results of later researches “along the same line by recog- nized authorities. Therefore he applied himself to the task of supplying that need, and the volume recently issued is the re- sult. Mr. Perry is regarded by writers on tegal topics as eminently qualified for such a@ task. In the course of his own practice and his teachings on this particular sub- ject he has demorstrated his entire ability to supply the lacking work. As the book is intended to make clear and to teach the Principles of a science long since perfected, no effort has been made to make the foot notes a “digest of recent decisions.” The rules and princtples of special pleading un- derlie every system of pleading in all, the jurisdictions where the common law is ad- ministered. Local statutes have altered the practice on many subjects, and have unsettled it to a great extent; but it is stil true that the science of pleading is the most instructive branch of the common law, and further that a thorough knowl- edge and understanding of pleading urder the common law is of the greatest advan- tage to him who would best avail himself of the seeming greater freedom of the “Code System.” UNCLE Ss A Story of National Af- SAM'S SECRETS; A St fairs foc the Youth of the Nation. By Oscar Phelps Austin. First of “‘Appleton’s Home Reading Books,” edited by Wm. T. Harris, U. 8. of Education. New York: D. Appleton & Co. Mr. Austin is one of the best-known cf the Washington correspondents, and his acquaintance with “Uncle Sam’s secrets” is sufficiently wide, as a result of many years of act.ve news work here, to enable him to write most accurately and enter- tainingly on such a theme. The purpose of this series of books is to instruct young readers while they seek diversion in liter- ature, and if the standard established by the initial volume is to be maintained throughout the Home Readers will be un- usually valuable. Mr. Austin gives his facts in the form of a narrative that in- ciudes many of the elements of fiction. The “secrets” relate to the financial system of the government and some important and little-known facts concerning the mint, the railway mail service and incidentally vaci- ous other functions of the government. The book is good reading for adults as well as young people, and gives copious refer- ences to works in which further 4ctails are given. It is handsomely illustrated. THE AMERICAN RAILWAY; Its Constraction, De- velopment, Management ‘and Appliances.’ By Cartls Clarke, Jobn L. B. B. Adams, jr. ‘Thomas M. Cooley, late chair- teratate commerce "commission. With more than 200 illustrations. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons. Washington: Bren- tano’s. ‘The articles here reproduced in a single volume formed a most entertaining and in- structive series of papers in Scribner's Magazine, where they attracted attention as a complete and comprehensive presenta- tion of practically every phase of the rafl- Toad question. The authors of the various Papers are identified more or less closely with the business of transportation, and in each case the writer is a specialist. Judge Cooley wrote as one who surveyed the en- tire railroad situation as an entirety in its influences and its possibilities. The book, therefore, is one of the notable additions to this year’s shelves. CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN OPINION OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION. By Ckarles Downer Hazen, Ph D., professor of history, Smith Col- lege. “Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins Press. In this volume are reproduced the ex- Pressed opinions of Thomas Jefferson. Gouverneur Morris and James Monroe, all of whom traveled in Europe, on the sub- jecti of the great revolution in France. Appended are extracts from opinions sim- flarly expressed on the same subject by Americans who remained at home. The effect is a comprehensive study of the ef- fect of the revolution upon American thought and perhaps on American history. The measureable similarity of the two up- heavals, the one in America and the other in France, tends to place those two events close together in their bearing upon the world’s record as they are in point of time. None could be better qualified to judge of causes and effects in such an emergency in the life of a nation than an American citizen. THE VICE OF FOOLS. By H. C. Chatficld-Taylor. Mlustrated. Chicago: Herbert S. Stone & Co. ‘The book is Mr. Chatfield-Taylor’s essay at that perennial theme, a Washington novel. It begins with aphorisms and ends with an absurdity. Its epigrams are very generously besprinkled through the pages, and in consequence the story is “talky.” It is smart even to the point of being tire- some. The tale itself fairly reeks with romance. The “Washington” features in- clude the usual array of diplomats, poli- ticians and social aspirants, and gives some very high lights—filtered through brightly colored glasses—on the supposedly real sit- uation at the capital. Some of the feamures thus disclosed are recognizable; others are plainly imaginary. The effect is uncon- vincing, while the epigrams continue to scintillate even through the improbable climax. Notwithstanding, the book is a de- cided achievement. HAPPINESS; As Found in Forethought Minus Fearthought._ By Horace Fletcher. — Menticul- ture Series II. Chicago: Herbert S. Stone & Happiness achieved through the self-cre- ation of an optimistic atmosphere is the main thought of this volume. The contre} of the mind, as the source of both happi- ness and misery, is the foundation of the philosophy. The writer, whose preface vre- veals an extraordinary amount of cosm»- politan experience, develops a system ct self-regulation that must produce whole- some results, even if persistent following of the doctrine should fail to bring the ideal condition of the'mind in which every- thing tends to a cheerful point of view. Such study and practice as the volume sug- gests and for which substantial reasons are given will almost surely produce sume new degree of happiness. THE ier iad ose MAN, Bishop Gaines is one of the most intelll- gent thinkers of his race. His views are clear, his philosophy regarding ¢:.e future of his people is wholesome and his influ- ence Is beyond calculation. He is probably the first of his race to consider the sub- ject of the so-called “negro question” in all its phases systematically.

The author of ‘American Nobility’ has chosen the latter.” “The Ring and the Book” is regarded by many critics as Browning's greatest poem. Its immensity, its peculiarity of construc- tion and its entire originality startled read- ers when it made its appearance, and it has taken time for its greatness to be gradually revealed and appreciated.
