I wish for the newly married cauple no other misfortune than the loss of a father's love.” Miss Matthews was a minor and could not marry in Connecticut wath- out her father’s consent, as she went across the state line to Massachusetts.

GOTCH FAVORED IN BETTING Reports Are to the Effect thaat Amari- can is in Wonderful Condition—Fully 25000 Spectators to Witness Event. Chicago, Sept. 3.—Frank Gotch, the Towa farmer, and George’ Hacken- schmidt, the Russian Lion, tomorrow afternoon will - determine. who is the mightiest wrestler in the world. To- morrow at three o'clock, in the Amer- ican ieague baseball park here, these two premier™grapplers will meet to settle the supremacy. Two_Falls to Decide I Gotch won their former match in Chicago, April 3, 1908, but*he did not pin the shoulders of the Russian Lion to the mat. For that reason he has never been given universal credit for his victory, For tomorrow the contest- ants insist the match will not end until one man has obtained two falls. It may be necessary to finish the contest under the glare of arc lights, but re- gardless of this the wrestlers are de- termined to settle their dispute beyond all possible doubt before they leave the park. Sports Pouring Into Chicage. With the contest less than 24 hours away there is great interest tonight in the matchh. From all parts of the country followers of the sport are com- ing in and all of the downtown hotels are crowded. 25,000 Spectators Expected. Throughout today _the downtown ticket office was busy disposing of ad- mission coupons. The total sales up to six o’clock tonight amounted to ap- proximately $50,000: It is expected that at least 25,000 persons will at- tend the contest and that the gross re- ceipts will be in the neighborhood of $100,000. Crowd Already Gathering. Although the turnstiles at the park will not begin te revolve until eleven o'clock tomorrow, early tonight ardent devotees of the sport had begun to gather outside the greunds and seek vantage points for an early entrance to the field. Many of them were already provided with tickets, but they @id not desire to be caught in the crush that will ensue a few hours befare the con- testants enter the arena. . Betting Odds Favor- Gotch: * Stories of Gotch's wonderful eondi- tien which have been circulated since he arrived here last Friday bave forced the bettin godds on him down to 2 to 1. While Re was still training in Humboldt he was but a & to 5 favor- ite. But his work here has caused his stock to rise rapidly. Very little bet- ting is being done, however. As an explanation for this conditien veteran snorts say that the element which us- ually plunges on big contests of all kinds has not forgotten the memorable prize fight which took place in Reno on July 4, 1910. - The so-called “talent” plunged and lost on that occasion and though this match in no way resem- blés that one, big bettors, having been bitten, are still timid, Both Men Claim to Be Fit. Both men claim thay are fit. To_all outward appearancés they are. But when this phase of the match is un- der discussion, old timers who have been at the ring side or mat side of every important match in the last dec- ade, again refer (o the Jeffries-John- son’ contest. pointing out that the greatest experts thought Jefiries was in” shape. Somehow the sporting ele- ment cannot forget that Reno battle. Gotch’s Fellow Citizens on the Scene. Humboldt, Gotch’s home, virtually is a_deserted village tonight. Scores of its_citjzens who have known Gotch from boyhood, swarmed In on him to- day and were the champion’s guests at the Chicago-St. Louis National league baseball game. Leather Furniture. The cleaning of leather upholstered furniture is a question that concerns almost every housewife, for those who do not possess one or more pieces of the padded leather kind have at least the leather- seated diners that require refurbishing three or four times a year. Procure three large size cheesecloths, a basinful of tepid or nearly warm ‘water, to which has been added a little, vinegar, say a tablespoonful, and a obtain his freedom. R. V. LaDow, pres- ident of the United States board of parole, told the meeting of the crimi- nologists Walsh's case will be taken up by the parole board when it meets in Leavenworth this month. “According to law,” Mr. LaDow said, “a prisoner must. have served one-third of his sentence before his case is considered by the board. By the time our board meets at Leaven- worth this month Walsh will have served the required time.” President Taft refused last March to pardon Walsh at the same time that he denied clemency to Charles W. Morse, the New York banker impris- oned in Atlanta. The Tafts Leave for Beverly. Islesboro, Me., Sept. 3.—The presi- mixture of the whites of two eggs and a half pint of turpentine. The mix- ture is best made by first beating the eggs to a froth and placing it in a bot- tle befere the turpentine, and then be- fore each application it is well shaken in_the bottle. Large pieces of leather furniture are gone over im sections, first with the cheesecloth, which has been dipped in the warm water to which has been added the vinegar, and then after be- ing carefully wiped with a dry cheese- cloth it is polished with a cheesecloth or chamois slightly saturated with the egg white and turpentine mixture; af- ter this the article is carefully wiped dry with other cloth: Seats of the dining chairs can be done one at a time with ease.
