Inspector Byroes in structed his men to stop the game If it proved 4o be anything but a purely scientific contest. The superintondent said he would not allow the players to act like a lot of prize fighters and publicly maim each other for life. The game will be stopped at the first exhibition of brutality. The members of the fcotball team will get fo official notification from the superintend ént of his intention. Phe superintendent drgues that if the players are brutal they are Taw breakers, and therefore amenable to ar- rest, If action is taken by the police and resistance is offered the enthusiasts at Man- hattan fleld may witness some wholesale arrests. A poilce official, who said that he expressed an opinion only as a ritizen, said it was his bellef that there was not the &lightest chance of the game being interrupted and that the superintendent was making a grand stand pay."

The victim is “Brick” White- house, one of the most prominest football players on the Paclfic coast, who played tackie with Stanford last year and with the Rellance club this seascn. During the past few weeks he has been assistant coach to Walter Camp at Palo Alto. His assallant Is Alexander Loughborough, son of A. L. Loughborough, a leading attorney whose family moves in the most fashionable so- clety of the city. The saloon was crowded With college students feverishly discussing the game. Loughborough, who is a law student, has University of Callfornia ami atlons, and after some offensive remarks to Whitehouse the men ciinched. Glasses were smashed and chairs were used before they could be separated. Loughborough's nose was Dbleeding, and he drew his revolver, firlng three shots at Whitehouse, one bullet lodging in his abdomen. Loughborough aud White- house had been companions for some time, and their friends believe a woman was at the bottom of the trouble. which Loughbor- ough sought to plek. Whitehouse was removed to a hospltal. Loughborough escaped from the saloon after the shooting, but at 2:30 p. m., accompanied by his father surrendered himself at the city prison, where he was locked up. Earlier in the evenlug Loughborough had a quarrel Wwith agother young soclety man named Max Rosenfleld, whom he shot after a few words, slightly wounding Rosenficld in the thigh. Loughborough has become very unpopular because of his frequent altercations and brawls, FAST HORS) FOR LOS ANGELR!

BIT OF CHURCH - POLITICS | Interesting History Conneot:d With the Appointment of Eishop Mats, FATHER RORDAN EXP.CTED THE PLACE Powertal Influcnees Pnck of Iim Seemed to Render His Elevation Certa but Mats's Friends Sur- prised Them. CHICAGO, Nov. 30.—The mors of disaffections in Bishop Matz' Denver | dlocese and his consequent resignation have | brought to light a remarkable story .of ec- clestastical polities in which Father Riordan, pastor of St. Eilzabeth's Catholic church of this city and brather of Archbishop Riordan, was deprived of the bishopric after he had | beon practically conferred with the honor. The episcopacy in question was the very | ne from which Bishop Matz is shown to be en- | deavoring to resign, and to which it is pos- sible Father McGuire of St. James' church | may be elevated in the near future. The story goes down, and is now for the first time made public, that there were two | candidates for the see in Denver. These | were Father Walters of Lafayetts, Ind., who is now dead, and Father Riordan of this city. The latter was the choice of the majority of the powers of the church, and everything presaged -his election. Archbishop Ireland cast his influence with Father Riordan, and made his best efforts to ald in obtaining his nomination. His assist- ance was of no small moment, and in itself would ordinarily assure the choice of any man for the office. Father Riordan, how- ever, was intrenched behind Archbishop Ire- land’s support alone. He was favored by Cardinal Gibbons himself. The distinguished prelate, it is said, did not hesitate to enter the breach and declare himself for Father Riordan, He let it become known that his support was with - Archbishop Riordan’s brother, and was apparently not unwilling that his stand in the matter be broached to those concerned. When it was learned in this city that Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Ireland and other dignitaries of the church desired that Father Riordan be elected to the Denver diocese it was regarded among Catholics in this city (who had knowledge of the prom- ises) that such action would eventually be taken. Indeed, Father Riordan’s friends were grieving that he was to leave Chicago, though they were pleased at his advancement to the bishopric. It is stated on the best authority that the course of affairs went so far as the interchange of cablegrams between Rome and Chicago. Whether or not Father Riordan was really appointed and the action was reconsidered will possibly never be known. Certain it is, however, that he was given the strongest recommendation to the authority in the eternal city, It is considered among the best informed church men here that Father Riordan’s appointment had been given papal sanction. The order of procedure in an appointment to a bishopric is as fol- lows: The candidates are considered by the suffragans; the suffragans recommending | thres in this order—1, dignus; 2, dignior; 3, dignismus. From the three names written opposite these degrees of approba- tion the pontificial powers supposedly choose cne for the office. Very frequently, though, the range of nomination is not confined to the list furnished by the suffragans and the choice falls upon some one outside of those proposed by the suftragans. It would seem that such was the case in this instance, as it is recalled none of the three men suggested by the suffragans was appointed to the Denver bishopric. When the plans for Father Riordan's ap- potntment were thought to have been consum- mated, and his fiends were even preparing to testify their affection for him before his departure, there was.a gensation upon ‘the announcement. that another.had been. named in his stead. This was"Bishop Matz. He had shot over the heads of the suffragans and it is claimed through the help of the Jesults had succeeded in obtaining the nomi- nation. That thero was great disappointment be- cause Father Riordan was not given the vacaney is not to be doubted. He had gréat popularity, both here and in Denver. All the laymen (and nearly all the prelates) in the west had hoped for his elevation, Natur- ally there was some regret at the outcomie. 1t is hinted that it resuited in dissension in the higher circles of the church. However, that may be, it was most assuredly not conducive to the best interests of the Denver diocese, as recent events have shown., Upon Bishop Matz's entrance into the church direction in the Colorado metropolis there was instituted what might be termed, s0 It 18 said, an eccleslastical boycott. Rich members of the laity declined to contribute to the church funds 5o liberally as heretofore. Finally debts grew and the finances became sadly embarrassed. On this account, the story is, Bishop Matz resigned this week. But his resignation was dependent upon his appointment to another see. It s stated that ths condition cannot be met, and that Bishop Matz will be forced to stay in his present place or to resign unconditionally. From the terms of the document it is evident that Bishop Matz wished only to be trans- ferred from Denver. It also showed that there wero reasons for his dissatisfaction with his episcopacy. By this strange and unexplained manipula- tion of *church machinery” Father Danfel J. Riordan, one of the most respected and best liked of the Catholic clergy In the west, was deprived of an office which he would have invested with dignity, and which office would have been discharged with the ability which is pre-eminently his. Archbishop Ireland was at the Grand Pa- cific hotel today, but declined to talk about Blshop Matz or Father Riordan’s candidacy for the eplscopacy. His grace of St. Paul also refused to discuss tho recent attack mado on him by Bishop McQuaid of Roch- cster’.

And Was Rt by an Agrosable Man on nn Adlantic Steamor. “The last the’d went to Europe,” sald an editorial 'fE6Hl of the Chicago Inter Ocean, “I wegt in very dintinguished com- pany. Amongumy fellow passengers were George Gould and family, Widener, Elkins and Yerkes, the street raflway millionaires, and T don't know how many more rich men. “On the second day there was the usual aritt of fellows of sporting proclivities toward the smoking room, and very soon several games were going on. A very gentlemanly person, who was looking on, liks myself, asked mo If T ever played poker. I sald: ‘Yes, now and then, it the stakes are small’ After a little further conver- satfon we found. three other men, tock a table and began to play a dol- lar limit game. Some of them wanted to make the limit higher, but I was firm, and we kept it down. We played pretty much all very big hands or any great varlation in luck. Finally, however, I struck a big hand, and so did my gentlemanly friend, who was, iMdeed, quite the most agreeable man at the table. We backed our hands for all they were worth, and, perhaps, in my case, for more, for I lost. The same thing happened several times, ard the result was that, small as the game was, I got up from the table $50 out of pocket. The next day we played agaln, but there was very littie life in the game, and finally we gave It up, “The matter had almost passed out of my mind, when the man who had swon my money came to me.one day as we were nearing the other side, and said: ‘I think I ought to give that money back to you.' 71 Qon't see why,' safd I ‘If T had won your money I should have taken it." “Yes, but this is different.’ ‘How different? I don’t understand.’ “well, the fact is, I don't mind telling you, T am a professional.” “swell, it T had known that I don't think I would have played with you. But it you won my money fairly, keep it.' ““That's just it he said. ‘Here is your money. You are not the gort of game I am after. 1 rang in a cold deck on you during a deal. I am one of the few who can do it.’ “Then he went on to tell me, after 1 had taken the money, that he had come abroad expressly to pluck George Gould or one of the street railway magnates, but had given up the job. “‘The fact is,’ he sald, ‘rich men nowa days are not Ifke they used to be. So soon as & man gets a big pot of money he does all his gambling in stocks or grain. Sometimes we get hold of a sucker that has come into a fortune by luck, and he is good game, but that sort of thing Is getting scarcer every day. Don’t give me away until I leave the ship.

Great Skill Reguired in Fast Few people outside the jewelry trade have any idea how!/tHe “brilfants” they buy and wear are fastefféd into their settings, and a great many retailJewelers, who have sold jewelry for years/are equally ignorant. The art of setting JHWéls is' comparatively simple, the kil of 4, sgi{ér depending upon his knowledge of the strength of the material and the delicaté touch required, whith' ‘ean only be gained'by years of practice. There are only four. distinct ‘methods of setting a diamond, though mountings are made which involve two or more of these methods. The most cammon 1s the clamp or claw settings. This comes to the setter with every clamp as straight and square as a fencoe picket. Ho imbeds this mounting, whatever it may be, in warm shellac on the end of a stick (six Inches ofbroom handle4s generally used) leaving the setting exposed. This cools and holds the delicate pieces of jewelry firm in all parts. Ho then, with a thin file, sharpens all the clamps, bringing them up to sharp points. Then, with a_scraper or graver shaped like a chisel (all of his cutting tools are minlature chisels of different shapes), he digs out a bearing or shoulder for the edge of the stone on the inside of eachi ¢lamp; he now, with a pair of sharp-pointed pliers, bends the clamps {nward or outward, as they happen to require, until the stone will just squeeze into the circle of clamps. Then the stone is pressed firmly down until the edge rests squarely on the bearing of each clamp. This leayes the end of the clamps sticking up past the edges of the stone., The next step is to push all these ends over the edge and burnish them tight. A pushing tool s used for this, a plece of soft steel about three inches long, fled to a small square end and fitted in a round handle, When the clamps are all firm in their places they are bright-cut, as the term fs. The clamps are trimmed to a polnt with three cuts, two on the sides and one on the top. The setter cuts away from the stone, and must be careful not to dig too deep into the gold or he will push the whole clamp away from the stone; then, to make a good job, the stone must come out and the clamp bent forward again. Some who manufacture the finest goods do not believe in bright cut- Ung clamps or rings, as the sharp edges left are very severe on gloves worn over them. A setter employed by these firms merely sets the clamps to & point, and the polisher buffs it round on top, when the work gets its last finish. BETTER PLAN OF TEACHING. ted by Poor Results in School Work. In a recent number of the Boston Tran- seript a correspondent directs attention to the fact that school methods and school curicula are still very poorly adjusted to the needs of puplls. The educational sys- tem, considered as a body of teachers, or- ganized under superintendents, trustees, commissioners, etc., With tax laws, fine school buildingsi books, apparatus and the Iike, has had in the jast half century a mag- nificent development; There has been money to spend, and dt has purchased a large equipment. But the large development of the machinery of education under state ad- ministration has tended very naturally to crystalize the .crude methods of former times—methods suitable enough, perhaps, for adults, accordin&'to’ the ideas of those times, but clearly not suited to all ages and classes of students for @il time. Progress in peda- &ogy has accord been slow, and people wonder why lh:i‘ll' ildren go to school 5o long and learn 88 little.

No actor. fn America has ess round of parts than Mr. Nat C. Goodwin, and his masterly presentation of the various characters assumed staimps him easily the representative comedian of Amerlca. From “Hobbles” to “In Mizzoura” Is a long dis- tance, but every milestone on the way s marked by one of Mr. Goodwin's triumphs. Frgm the farce, tinged with burlesque, In which he first wooed public favor as a star, he has advanced rapidly, offering something better each year, until his pres- ent repertory embraces plays of great strength, the presentation of which gives Mr. Goodwin opportunities to demonstrate his versatility as an actor by serious dra- matic work, which serves admirably as a foll to his comedy parts, and his Jim Rad- burn shows that he is equally at home in the flelds of pathos and humor. In “In Mizzoura” Jim Radburn is sheriff of Plke county, the location which gives us Brother ke, who has been immortalized in gong, He 18 as brave as a she Dbe in a country where people who did hot lock their doors had to keep dogs, but he had o tender spot in his heart for Kate on, daughter of the village black- gmith, and always used to think of her be- tore dcting while in the discharge of his duties. On account of this forethought ne always winged his man, and did not shoot to kill, because he “thought maybe Kate wouldn't like it.” But he was a success as ‘@ winger, and 1o man ever escaped him but one. Robert Travers, a handsome fellow with city airs, dropped down into Pike and won Kate's foolish heart after she had returned from college, at which Jim had paid her expenses without her knowledge Jim found out that Kate loved the city chap, and when Travers was proved to be a train robber and guilty of a ecrime for which the affianced lover of Jim's niece had to suffer, his love for Kate led him to his first lapse of duty as an officer. He found the train robber in Kate's house, learned from her the story of her love for the hunted man, and then let love over- power duty. He gave Travers his own horse with which to make his escape and then resigned as sheriff. The fact became known, and the angry populace wanted Jim's Scalp. But Kate came to the rescue, told the story of the escape and what Jim had done for her. The people, touched by the manliness of the man, changed thelr eers to oheers, renominated Jim for sherift by acclamation, and the curtcin falls with the hero in a falr way to claim his reward from the girl he loves. Mr. Goodwin's portrayal of the part of Jim ‘Radburn was faultiess. Some of the ‘cenes of the play are intensely dramatic, and in them Mr. Goodwin's work was a revelation even to his friends, moving his aundience to tears, only to brush them awuy with a sudden sweep of hilarity. His scene in the Vernon home when he discovere Travers In a closet and learned the stor of Kate's love for him was immensely dramatic. The play calls for a strong supporting company, and Mr. Goodwin has filled the requirements most commendably. Mr. Wil- liam Ingersoll as Travers and Mr. Clarence Holt as Joe Vernon are actors of abilit and sustained their parts admirably. Mi Estelle Mortimer as Mrs. Vernon played the part of the overworked, Ssomewhat cranky and always garrulous Missouri workman's wife with a splendid appre tlon of the part. Miss Lilla Vane as Kate Vernon met the exalting requirements of her role with exceptional ability. 'Lizabeth Vernon had a lover in Sam Fowler, an ap- prentice in Joe Vernon's blacksmi{h shop, who wented to get a stiddy job, but could ot get off long enough to logk for one, 'he work of Miss Dupree as 'Lizabeth and Arthur Hoops as Sam Fowler was one of the most enjovable features of the per- formance. Both were droll, and living pic- tures were eclipsed by samples of facial contortions in the scenes In which Jim Radburn demanded that Vernon allow the pair to be married. Miss Dupree's drawl and general tiredness of expression and movement were emphatically Missourian, Tonight Mr. Goodwin will appear in the grand double bill of “David Garriek” and “Lend Me Ifive Shillings," closing his pres- ent engagement at Bo Considerable interest is manifested among Mr. Goodwin’s admirers in this city to see him enact tne rolo of David Garrick, and several theater parties have been' formed to at- tend tonight. This {s the most ad- vanced step’ that Mr. Goodwin has as vet taken, and according to the critl- cisms of thé leading Chicago papers, it places him securely upon the pedest 1" of fame. To those who have never had an opportunity "of seeinir the play of David Garrick, we will briefly give the outline of the plot, Simon Ingot's daughter, Ada, has seen David Garrick play Hamlet, and she I8 in“love with the actor. The actor had noticed the voung girl in the theater, and he, too, adores her. Ada’s father wants to cure his daughter of her love, and the actor promises to help him. Garrick is invited to dinner one evening. Imagine his surprise to find the woman he has silently adored, but true to his word he plays drunk, and mekes such a spectacle of himself that Ada orders him from the house, Later she learns that he has only been acting. She goes to his house to prevent his fight- ing & duel on her account. She is followed by her father, and there is a complete réconeilfation. During the' three acts Mr. Goodwin las ample opportunity of showing his wonderful versatility. In the first act he appanrs the handsome actor in his own natural state, in the second act he acts the actor and in o Tole that almost breaks his heart, for he is shattering the ambition of the woman he adores and putting a_wide berth be- tween himeelf and her. In the third act he comes back to his own natural char- acter, although he 1s moved to tears. Pride, grace, abandoned love and hatred find their way into the character. In his new cos- tumes Mr. Goodwin is certainly very hand- some. In his satin and laces and powdered wig in the second act he could easily por- tray George Washington, the resemblance between the actor and the many pletures of the father of his country being striking. Nat Goodwin has a hobby and one which he thinks most of the Am-rican people could adopt with some pleasure and a great deal of profit. Some months ago Mr. Gocdwin got a notlon in his head that he was ap- proaching the invalid state. He couldn't eat and didn't enjoy himself a little at anything. He consulted a physician, who informed him that he must take more out. door exercise and recommended walking and lots of it. Mr. Goodwin followed the pre- seription implicitly and persistently and Is now a victim of the walk habit. He takes a long walk every day, no matter what the weather, and says he f& making a new man of himself, and he likes it He is prepared for the exercise, too, and has a walking costume that is a stunner, He has an English coat, a dickey cap, heavy hcb- nailed shoes and an English walking stick. He has eschewed carriages and cabs and always walks from the debot to his hotel and manages to get in a stroll of ten or twelve miles every da Footlight Flashes.

Frederick Warde and Louis James have made such a success in their revival of “Henry IV."” that they contemplate deyot- ing thelr entire attention to Shakespeare's tragedy during the rest of their season.

By Heeding Them He May Avold Failing Into Any One of Many Pits. There are two extremes for the man who has just bezn made happy by “her’ acceptance of his heart, hand and fortune to avoid, says the New York World. On peril of his happiness he -must not be too attentive o or too interested in other wimen. On the other hand, he must not treat his finance with that tender devotion which is suggestive of Darby and Joan. The modern young woman does not like to be in any way a reminder to the public of those excellent but somewhat antiquated per- sons. It will be well for the man who expeots to sail smoothly into the matrimonial port {o continue those flattering attentions after his engagement which preceded it. It will not suffice for him to tallc of what he Is saving to, make their little home worthy of her. He must by some magic be able both to save money for the futurc and to provide her with flowers, bocks, bon-bons, theater tickets and other trifles which he bestowed upon her when there was no future to b> taken into consideration. He must treat her people with deference, cordiality and filial affection. He must let her complain of all their faults, detail all the family quarrels and point out all the family imperfections without ever allowing the knowledge he acquires thus to tinge his behavior. He must listen to her abuse of them with sympathy, and never by any chance show anything but the highest regard for them himself. Ho must like all her friends. He must treat “the girls” with the intimacy which never borders on familiarity; must enjoy their socicty, which will be thrust upon him at all times and places, and at the same time must be prepared to agree with her estimate of their shortcomings. It will be just as well for him never to admire them too extravagantly. Tn public he must always be prepared to show her the attentions she needs, but must also be prepared to let her “have a good time,” unhampered by his devotion. For instance, he must never let her sit a dance out alone, yet he must never glower when she scems to be dancing often with other men. His manner must be a perfect ming- ling of devotion and noninterference. Incidentally it may be added thal an occa- sional dose of neglect I8 wholesome, and that a semi-occasional quarrel is not to be despised. y a Scar Remains On Scrofula Cured—Bloed Purified by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. 1.
