GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAI
A very enthusiastic meeting of the Pitts
bore Association Football Club was held at
latin's Hotel Saturday evening. The
meeting was to discuss the arrangements
for the big Christmas game between the
local team and the Chicago team.
President Tann was in the chair, and in
opening the meeting stated that several
new members wanted to join the club, some
of these applicants being men of national
repute as players. The members were ad
mitted and among the number were: J.
Burbridge, of McKeesport, and George
"Woods, of the New Castle team. Both
men are first-class plavers, and it is likely
they will ht on the team against the
Chicago.
The collapse of the local football league
has allowed these men to join other teams.
They were two of the best in the league,
and doubtless will be valuable men to the
local team. A member of the club said last
evening: "Itis certain that Burbridge and
Woods will be eiven a trv, and I think
they will give satisfaction. President Tanu
means to hare a good team, and all players
who will not practice will have to stand
aside, as there are. now lots of good players
in Western Pennsylvania. We have some
great teams to come here before next spring
is over, and we will need our best men."
AH0IHEE ATHLETIC WAB.
The A. A. TJ. and National Guard Associa
tions Likely to Conflict.
New York, Dec. 11. Steeled The proba
bilities are that the Amateur Athletic Union
has another war on its hands, this time with
the Athletic Association of the National
Guard. Since.tlis Metropolitan Association
of the Union refused to sanction the prizes
offered by the Seventh Uegiment Athletlo
Association at lis games a year ago, the two
organizations have been at swords' point.
The Union disqualified all of the athletes
who competed in the games and subse
quently reinstated several of the men who
repented, but the main body are still with
out the pale of the Union.
Now, almost all or these men as well as
many at present in good standing In the
Union have entered for the Seventh's games
to-night, and as the Metropolitan Associa
tion has not sanctioned the ua:ne the prob
abilities are that they will all be expelled.
Now A. B. George, of Company H, one of
the most prominent athletes in the recri
ment, together with Lloyd Collls and other
prominent militiamen proposes that the
iruardsmcn leave the Amateur Athletic
Union in a body and lorm a separate
organization.
The idea is to have all of the regiments in
the Stat amalgamate and lorm a body like J
the Inter-I ollesiate Association, which is
recognized by the Amateur Athletic Union.
The advocates of the idea claim that the
proposed organization would be supported
by all or the athletes In the National Guard
and would, perhaps, receive encouragement
from the State authorities. Thoy say that
the new association would be as powerful as
the Inter-Collegiate Association and that
the Amateur Athletic Union would be com
pelled to recognize it.

BACK FB0H THE BATTLE.
A iocal Authority Talks Ahont the Goddard
and Maher Contest,
Several local sportinj men who W9nt East
to witness the Goddard und aiaher flht
returned yesterday. One very good author
ity said:
Goddard is a wonderful man and easily
defeated llahcr. The latter could not last
long enough to knock Goddard out. The
Australian was hit often enough, but hlons
had very little 'effect on him. lie is not a
first-class pugilist, and he would he unable
to defeat Jackson. Coruett or Mitchell, in
my estimation. He may defeat flavin, as
the latter fights in something like Goddard's
style. Slainwill taue morn knocking nut
than Sinner, by all means. The contest was
a financial success lor the Coney Island
Clnb.
1 saw Hall and he is a very likely man.
The best judges in the East ure at a loss to
come to a conclusion as to who will win be
tween Hall and Fitziinmons. Both ate
great pugilists and it will he necessary for
anybody to think n, great deal before
coming to a conclusion regarding their com
parative merits. Tnere are also many peo
ple who think the two men will nave an un
derstandlnc about the purse and the result
belore they fight; This may be the case; I
don't know."
The speaker went on to say that Maher
fought gamely, but was badly seconded.

WILL TSY NEXT YEAS.
MalcolmForbes Thinks Nancy Hanks "Will
Beat Her Becord Next Season.
New York, Dec. ll.-.'pecJal-Word comes
from Boston that J. Malcolm Forbes, the
sportsman who devotes his attention to
yachts and horses, has had a long confer
ence with Bud Dpble, the trainer Of bis
now celebrated mare, Nancy Hanks. Since
the conference Mr. Forbes is more satisfied
than ever that the two-minute, trotter will
be found comparatively in the near future.
Nancy Hanks' record is within four seconds
of even time, but this represents more to be
accomplished than appears on paper. When
Nancy Hanks trotted her mile in 2:04 Mr.
Forbes made up bis mind that it would be
wise to retire hor from the turr and breed
her to his stallion. Arton.. He had paid
$35 000 for Nancy and the enormous sum of
$125,000 for Arion.
After due consideration Mr. Forbes has
resolved to give Nancy one or two more
tries next season on Western tracks.

A JUGGLE OF SILTER.
Latin-Union States Are Not Friendly
to Its Use as Money.
THE GOLD AND SILVER PARITY
And the Attitude of Mccreary and Cannon
in Regard to It,
KOT HEARING AX I KIKJ) OP AGREEMENT
Bbtjssew, Dec. 11. At the meeting of
the Monetary Conference yesterday Herr
Hans I. Forsell, of the Sweilen and Norway
delegation, referring to Congressman Mc
Creary's declared preference for a fixer
ratio between gold and silver of
16 to 1, asked the Americans
if they wonld agree to a ratio
of 20 to 1, which would be a hearer ap
proach to the present silver value. Sen
ator Allison replied that the Americans
would prefer a ratio of 16 to 1, but if
.agreeable to the European States, the
'Americans might accept a different
ratio. 'For himself he thought that silver,
using States would most logically adopt the
ratio ot 15U to 1. America would accept
no ratio unless a sufficient number of gov
ernments entered into the agreement to
make it effectual
The United States delegate, Henry W.
Cannon, replying to M. Tirard, of the
French delegation, said that he was sur
prised at the attitude of the Latin Union
delegates, as it v,as supposed in
America that the States of the
Latin Union being i the largest sil
ver holders would' be very friendly
to its use as money. But it appears that
they were not inclined to join "America in
an agreement for its extended use, while
Great Britain, without an important quan
tity of silver, suggested its pnrcbase lor
use as money. Despite this apparent
paradoxical state ot things, the Americans
still hoped that something wonld be ac
complished. He denied that the United States was
nnduly influenced in its silver legisla'ion
by her silver product. He thought that the
proposed purchase ot 30,000,000 ounces of
silver annually by Europe, provided
that it was an addition to the
silver now naturally used, might be
a bridge to join the money metals
again. America, up to the present time,
had had no difficulty in maintaining a
parity between gold and silver and intended
to maintain it. If, however, silver was to
be further dishonored and used the same as
paper money, without regard to price,
America would still be in an excellent po
sition to profit by the state of affairs as has
been shown in the conference.
A NON-UNION ROW.
Ordered to Leave the Place Because He
Won't Join the Union.
Desveb, Dec. 11, Special'' At
Bico, in the southern part of Colorado, the
mining popnlace are greatly agitated over
the probable outcome of the present labor
trouble. The Rico-Aspen Consolidated
Company employs over 300 men,
all belonging to the miners' union
except William Hillman, who has persist
ently refused to become a member, al
though repeatedly urged to. Last night,
while Hillman was asleep, bis room was en
tered by over 100 miners. The spokesman
demanded to know whether he still persist
ed in obstinately refusing to identity him
self with the union.
Although Hillman was lying in bed, sur
rounded by a mob of infuriated men, he
positively' refused. Alter being given time
to dress he was escorted to the railroad
tracks. About this time the town marshal
and the mine superintendent learned
of the affair and rushed to Hill
man's rescue. 'With the aid of
four cocked revolvers the mob was repulsed
and the "scab" saved the annoyance of
.freezing to death. The mine owners have
"decided to close down their property unless
surea protection irom tne rotate autnori
ties.' The town Is ereatly excited, and an
outbreak is momentarily expected.
IN THE PRESIDENT'S PEW.
A Little Incident That Made a Maryland
Girl Very. Happy.
Washington, Dec 1L ISpeciall The
happiest girl in Washington to-night is a
young belle of 18 summers, from a mount- I
am town in western .Maryland, a descend
ant of one of the historic first families of
Virginia, that of John Bandolph, of
Koanoke. With two resident Washington
ladies whom she is visiting in the city, she
went to hear Dr. Hamlin preach this morn
ing at the unurcn ot tne covenant, Presi
dent Harrison's church.
Arriving somewhat late, the rear seats
usually allotted to strangers being all full,
the usher conducted all three ladies far up
the main aisle, and deposited two of
them in private pews. Then lie
looked about to find a seat for the
Maryland sir). None was visible, except
in the President's pew. He hesitated, but
only for a moment, and then promptly led
tbe'embarrassed maiden up to the fifth row
front, where Mr. Harrison sat with his
daushter, Mrs. McKee, and his daughter-
in-law, Airs, itussell Harrison.
Great was the pleasure of the yonng lady
when the President stepped out into the
aisle and gracefully handed her into his
pew, between himself and Mrs. McKee.
A DEADLOCK IN CALIFORNIA
If the People's Party Assemblymen Stick
to tlio Pledge They've Taken.
SAN FEANCISCO, Dec. 1L Special If
the eight People's party Assemblymen in
the California Legislature stand firm to the
'pledge they accepted yesterday, then
it will be impossible to elect
a United States Senator from
California to succeed Felton. The Ex
ecutive Committee of the People's party
has secured a pledge from the eight Assemblymen-elect
that they will vote as a unit
for such a People's party candidate for
Senator as the majority ot them shall elect
On joint ballot the Democrats lack two of
a majority and the Republicans lack six. so
if the People's party members do what
they pledge themselves to do no majority
can" be secured by either of the parties.
BETENIEEN ENGINES BUSKED. ,
A Fire Loss of 8400,000 Inflicted on the
Denver and Bio Grande.
Salida, Col., Dec IL This morning
the Denver and Bio Grand Railroad round
house was discovered on fire, and despite
the efforts of the firemen the flames, after
almost totally burning that building and
Its contents, spread to the machine shop,
which, together with its valuable plant, was
also destroved. Seventeen engiues were
burned in the ronndhouse, it being impossi
ble to run them out because of the track on
the outside being crowded with other loco
motives. The loss on engines, machinery,,
roundhouses and shops is estimated by the'
officials at $400,000, but just how much the
insurance is not known at present. The
burning of the shops throws 100 men out of
employment.
THE REBELS NOT SUBDUED.

A BOOM FOR SINGERLY.
Some or His Farmer Friends Want Him to
Succeed Jerry Busk.
Philadelphia, Dec IL Special
Much speculation is going on among those
distinguished Pennsylvania agriculturists,
George W. Childs, A. .7. Cassatt, Don Cam
eron, George B. Roberts, A. J. Drexel, A.
K. McClure and A. A. McLeod, as to who
shall succeed Uncle Jerry Rusk as Secretary
of Agriculture What Mr. Cassatt wants is
a man who can distinguish a cob horse
irom a corn cob, and Colonel McClure
would like a farmer at the head of the Agri
cultural Department ho could raise canned

tomatoes from the seed without transplant- I nonary. Weather cloudy. Thermometer UP at
id or graviuuK, eggs jruui mc cu'g piaubs,
and who could grow straw hats by cross
drilling the wheat.
A careful consideration of the whole sub
ject leads to the conclusion that Farmer
William M. Singerly, of Gwynedd, fills the
bill more acceptably than any other farmer
in Pennsylvania. If Colonel-McClure per
sists in refusing the portfolio of the State
Department, the Farmers' Club, of Penn
sylvania, will soon make a move for Singer
ly that will carry everything before it.
And why not Singerly for Secretary of
Agriculture? 'No man in the nation could
do more to improve the breed ot horses,
cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese,
the wheat, corn, oats, rye, potatoes, cotton,
grass, the fruits and everything else grown
upon American farm lands. With Singerly
as Chief Agriculturist, the general quality
of farm produce. would soon be advanced to
the high standard of "the Record dairy,"
and the price reduced to consumers. Prom
now on Parmer Singerly will probably be-
come first choice of the Farmers' Club, ot
Pennsylvania, for Secretary of Agriculture.

she is confined to the restful arms of a large
rocking chair. Her mind is clear, and her
sight is excellent without the aid of
glasses.

Where
s the
Difference?
CAN anybody tell us wherein
the benefit is? If you buy a
$g coat with a $2 present for
$12 wherein are you bene
fited? You pay a profit as
well on the present as on the
.coat. Jacksons have never
lost sight of the first great
principle in business never
to give nor take the mer
chant that gives will surel
take. This thing of giving
and taking is an old game,
and, as a rtcle, it reacts on
both. jfacksons advertise
bargains, and bargains you
will get; hit the merit of a
bargain is in the goods, not
the toy that is put forth as a
bait. You do?i't want to be
caught like a fish with
a small bait. We trust to
your good sense. Come in,
examine our lines of Suits
from $10 to $15. See our
lines of Overcoats from $g to
$15, and we assure vote we
will not press you to buy; in
fact, we don't expect you to,
unless you are satisfied liat
you will save from $3 to $5
on every purchase at
