FLEA FOE JACK RABBITS.
Emporia Coursing: Club Objects to
Crossing With. Belgian Hares.
The Emporia Coursing club has taken
official action against the proposed plan
of crossing Belgian harse and jack rab
bits, by the Kansas method resolu
tions. O. M. Wilhite called a special meeting
at which the following were adopted by
a rising vote:
"Resolved, That the Kansas jack
rabbit has but one means of escape, and
that his running power, which should
not be taken from him to satisfy a few
cases of intermittent Belgian hare fever
of the Dumont Smith type.
"Resolved, That the crossing of the
Belgian hare with the Kansas jack
rabbit will handicap the sport, and com
pel us to cross our greyhounds with the
snail, that the speed may be correspond
ingly reduced.
"Resolved, That the greyhound in
dustry of Kansas, representing some of
her best people, and no small amount
of capital, be protected from the
'already passed fad' of Belgian hares.
"Resolved, That the Belgian hare
fanciers be cited to the polecat as a fit
subject.
"Resolved, That we bind ourselves to
gether in a secret order, and ask other
coursing clubs to join us, for the protec
tion of our sport, and that each member
hold in his possession the left front
foot of a graveyard jackrabbit as our
emblem. Our password is 'DA not
Smith.'
"Resolved, That a petition be drawn
up and circulated among the clubs, ask
ing our governor, W. E.Stanley, to sign
the death warrant of any persons, male
or female, that are proven guilty of ad
vocating or undertaking to reduce the
speed of the Kansas jackrabbit."
DISTRESS IN PORTO RICO.
General Davis Thinks Reports Are
Greatly Exaggerated.
Washington. Dec 24. General Davis,
when seen at the war -department concern
ing the report made public today by Dr.
Williams, a contract surgeon In the de
partment of Porto Rico, netting forth an
appalling state of affairs among the cof
fee planters of the island, said that from
his knowledge of affairs he should char
acterize Dr. Williams statement as much
overdrawn and exaggerated. That there
was suffering in the coffee planting sec
tion of the country, the general said he
had no doubt. The heavy losses incurred
bv the big hurricane, he said, could have
had no result other than to greatly re
duce the means of the planters, who had
$12,000,000 worth of coffee swept away by
the big storm. When General Davis was
military governor of the island, the war
department issued rations to the people of
Porto Rico in order to help them weather
over the evil effects of the hurrieane.
When the government passed under civil
administration, however, the issuance of
the rations was discontinued, as it was
believed the islanders had sufficiently re
covered. The general said that Dr. Williams was
an acting assistant surgeon in the depart
ment and accompanied a small expedition
under the command of Major Watt, Fifth
cavalry, which, on a march across the
island, traversed the coffee planting re
gion. The doctor reported a bad state
of affairs in this section in the way of
sickness and want-of food and was asked
for a fuller report by General Davis. This
was turned over to Governor Allen.
General Davis leaves Washington this
afternoon for San- Francisco, where he
will take passage for Manila on the trans
port Hancock, sailing January 1. He has
been ordered to duty as inspector genera
of the division of the Philippines.

Be
Through the efforts of Mrs. Thorpe
and many charitably disposed people
the poor children of the city will be
given a Christmas that they will re
member for many days.
Last Christmas Mrs. Thorpe distrib
uted many presents among the poor
children of the city and the same plan
which was adopted last year was again
put in effect this year. The different
Sunday schools and many people who do
not belong to. the schools. have sent gifts
of different, kinds to Mrs. Thorpe for
distribution among the children. The
old people tat ve not been forgotten for
they will also receive gifts at the police
matron's rooms.
The poor children will call at Mrs.
Thorpe's rooms Wednesday morning to
receive their gifts. This will make their
Christmas a day late, but it will be just
as jolly as if it came the day before.
The children will go up the back stairs
and in the first room will be the cloth
ing; they will then go into the old build
ing and in the first room will be the
toys: In the next the books and in the
fourth; the candy and nuts. They win
then pass out of the front door.
Mrs. Thorpe expects about 400 children
and to wait upon, them all and keep
them in order it will require 12 assistants.
This has been arranged for. The X. W.
C. A. will send five assistants, the First
M. E. church will send three, the First
Congregational two, and the Central
Congregational two. Miss Nellie Thorpe
will also help in the work.
The Salvation Army has made ar
rangements to feed all the poor who will
call for dinner Christmas so nothing in
substantial eatables will be given at the
police station. It will just be Christmas
presents of toys, books, candy, nuts and
clothing.
On Thursday the rooms will be open
for- the old poor people who would be
unable to stand the push and jam of the
children. The heavy woolen clothing
has been put -aside for them, and some
canned goods and other substantial
presents will be given them.
In speaking of the matter this morn
ing Mrs. Thorpe said that all the Sun
day schools in the city had, helped in
gathering gifts and that eight Sunday
schools in the country toad sent in gifts.
"I think I have a plenty for all the
children or I will have before the day
is over for gifts are coming in all the
time. I was forced to delay the chil
dren's Christmas until Wednesday be
cause some of the gifts will not be re
ceived until the evening of the 25th.
Among the gifts that have been received
are stockings filled with candy from the
United Presbyterian church. This gift is
especially acceptable as so many of the
children are in need of stockings, and of
course they will not object to the stock
ings being filled with candy. A number
of the Sunday schools made their collec
tions yesterday and they are bringing
them in today."
In answer to the question, "Are not a
majority of the poor children colored?"
Mrs. Thorpe said that they were not.
"On the contrary, the white children are
in the majority and it is a large major
ity, too."
The First Congregational Sunday
school furnished gifts for the 85 chil
dren in the sewing school which was held
in the Armory last Saturday, and the
Woman's club furnished gifts for the
sewing school which is held in the Veal
block. Both of these organizations fur
nished the gifts for the sewing school
for colored girls which Mrs. Thorpe con
ducts in her rooms at the police station.
The children are getting very anxious
about their presents, and a number of
them have been runningto Mrs. Thorpe's
rooms today asking -if their Christmas
is ready. They walk down the stairs
very slowly when they are told that
Santa Claus will not visit the rooms un
til Wednesday, for two whole days is a
long time to wait for a poor child who
has never seen Santa but is sure to get
a sight of him this Christmas.
PAPERS IN A FIGHT. .
Mail and Capital Want to Be Of
ficial State Paper.
A contest more Important to the par
ticipants, the Mail and Breeze and the
Topeka Capital, than the senatorial
election of even the session of the legis
lature, has been again inaugurated for
the title of official state paper.
The indications now are that the
honor will remain with the Mail and
Breeze. When this paper was selected
there was a prolonged contest among
the six state officers comprising the ex
ecutive council.
Governor Stanley, Attorney General
Godard and George Cole, auditor, voted
first, last and all the time for the Mail
and Breeze. Secretary Clark, Superin
tendent Nelson and Treasurer Grimes
were as loyal In their support of the
Capital.
The deadlock could not be broken and a
compromise was finally effected by the
terms of which the Capital had the
official work for the first year of the ad
ministration, the Mail and Breeze hav
ing the year ending next March. This
gives the weekly the profitable part of
the business, the legislative work com
ing in the present year. The publication
of laws and other official documents
during the session usually amount from
$1,000 to $2,000. This feature of the offi
cial paper's work Is by far the most
profitable.
The sentiment of the state officers does
not seem to have undergone any par
ticular change since the last selection
ef the official paper.
The governor will not support the
Capital and the same is true of the at
torney general and the auditor. It ia
said that Superintendent Nelson is par
tially In favor of the Mail and Breeze
being continued as the official paper,
but he is in such a position that It
would be practically Impossible fop him
to turn his back on the Capital.
Some of the members of the adminis
tration who have been warm support
ers of the Capital have been much an
gered by the recent cartoon of the gov
ernor which appeared in the Capital.
Unless there is something to circumvent
it, the chances are that the cartoon will
be lesponsible for the defeat of the
Capital's ambition to succeed the Mail
and Breeze for the ensuing two years.
Some of the Capital's friends, whether
authorized or not, have suggested the
propriety of a law requirin" that the
official paper be a daily, but this plan
will not be followed, because the man
agement of the Capital, publicly at least,
disclaims any intention of seeking to
thus deprive papers, not published daily,
of tha opportunity to compete for the
business.
MONUMENT FOR BRAVE GIRL
Jennia Wade, Who Carried Water to
Soldiers at Gettysburg.
Clinton, Ia, Dec. 24. The members of
the Iowa relief corps, the auxiliaries of
the Grand Army of the Republic, have
undertaken to raise t-SW with which to
erect a monument to the memory of Jen
nie Wade, the young woman killed at
the battle of Gettysburg, and one of the
few women killed during the civil war.
The reason why the Iowa women have
undertaken this task is because Mrs.
George Wade MeClellan, a sister of the
dead girl., lives at Denison, la., and is a
leader in the work of the relief corps.
The society in Iowa now numbers 8.298
members and the committee having- the
work in charge asks that each society
send 10 cents a member. It is considered
doubtful whether the sum can be realized
from so smaH a subscription, and it is
proposed to ask the Grand Army posts
to make up whatever deficits there may
be. It is intended to secure the money
in time to dedicate the monument next
July on the occasion of the celebration of
the thirty-eighth anniversary of the bat
tle. The story of Jennie Wade is an interest
ing one. She lived with her parents on
the battlefield of Gettysburg and when it
was fought she was yet in her teens. The
Wade home stood back a short distance
from the union lines. When the battle
began Jennie drew water from . a well
with a windlass and carried it to trie
thirsty and wounded soldiers on the firing
line. This she kept up till the firing
ceased at night. The next morning even
before light she was at her work and
continued it all day. On the morning of
the third day a party of soldiers came to
the house .and asked for something to eat.
Mrs. Wade made a fire and Jennie began
preparations to bake some biscuits. When
busy with her work in the kitchen a mus
ket ball crashed through the door and.
striking the girl, killed her instantly. The
following day she was buried in a coffin
made by a confederate officer who had
been taken prisoner. The brick house oc
cupied then by the Wades still stands and
the hole made by the bullet in the door
before it ended the life of Jennie Wade is
still seen.
SCRANTON PEOPLE WALK.
Only One or Two Cars Are Running in
the City.
Scranton, Pa., Dec. 24. The strike cf

Forest City and taking in all the towns
of the populous Lackawanna valley. Ten
men who came from Syracuse to take the
strikers' places were marched off to strike
headquarters on their arrival aud pledged
to quit the town before night. President
Charles M. Clark of the company arrived
from Philadelphia last night and is in
conference today with General Manager
Silliman. They expect to get more cars
running tomorrow with men who are ex
pected from Philadelphia and are to be
quartered in the company's office build
ing. Thus far there has been no trouble.

cuss the reported snub she had, given him
at d'Armenonville last July. '
