One result or this lnves- atlon Is the assertion that It would bably be much better for the the If there were fewer stars or me at all. Thp reasons for this de iaioo seem sound, at all events sound to reasonable laymen than the uses of the sudden promotion of every blue eyed Ingenue to the rank of a Btar. Managers have decided tliat tbe theatrical celebrity they Imake holds them afterward in tyran accede to all the conditions these play- ting a star they are raising up a to them. Grlndell Matth'jws, a young Kng lish engineer. Is believed by his friends to be on the verge of giving to the world a wireless telephone with which conversations may bo carried on across the Atlantic. It may not be come public, as the British govern ment may seek to acqulro the solo light to it, preserving the secret, and retaining It for uso in war. All that Is known concerning the apparatus is that it is in a box so small that one may easily carry It about. Instru ments may be tuned so that they will transmit only to others tuned In the name key. A man might telephone to his wife while she is out shopping. Tests have been made In which the interposition of brick and Iron walls was shown to be no barrier. Nothing seems too wonderful In the way of In vention especially where electricity Is concerned ; bo nobody will be great ly surprised If Matthews' Invention fulfills its promise. The New York populace Is apt to smile with pitying superiority when it hears a Cockney drop his "h's." It forgets that It Is equally culpable In regard to another letter of the alpha bet, "r." Mow It does shy at "r." When the letter is not dropped en tirely It bocomeH "ol." as In "goll" for girl, or "woild" for world. What la being done In our public schools to correct this bad habit and others equally bad? The Cockney language Is not a thing of beauty or a delight to the ear, but positively we are de veloping an argot here that Is much worse; a monstrous, hybrid term of speech, devoid at onco of grace and music. Let our school eommlsslc:i ers look to It! When a man holds up his fellow man at tbe point of a gun and relief s him of hla belongings.

Choate. "Mrs. Choate's second husband," was his Instantaneous reply. At the anniversary celebration, which took place at Naumkeag, near Stockbrldge, Mass . were several persons who were present at the wedding 50 years ago. Mr. Choate, because of his unique ersonality, his exceptional mental and physical endowment and his rare intellectual and social powers, will be re membered as one of our strongest representatives at the British Court. While In England Mr. Choate was a general favorite. Vp to the time that Mr. Choate acce'pted the appointment as American ambassador to the Court of St. James he was known purely as a lawyer. For yoars he was considered the most brilliant and successful practitioner of the New York bar. CANADA'S ROYAL GOVERNOR The Dominion of Canada deeply ap preciates the honor which has been conferred on her by the appointment of the Duke of Connaught as governor general and will give his royal high ness a most enthusiastic welcome on hlB arrival. The distinction which is Canada's in having, as a representa tive of the British throne, an uncle of King George will be more readily un derstood when It 1b stated that never before has a prince of the royal blood been sent as governor general to any of the British possessions over the seas. The nearest approach to such distinction was when the Princess Louise, daughter of Queen Victoria, resided in Canada with her husband, the Marquis of Lome, who was then governor general. The marquis aft erward became and Is now the Duke of Argyle. The Duke of Connaught Is the only surviving son of Queen Victoria. He was hejr third son and the Beventh of her nine children. His surviving sisters are Helena, Princess Christian; Louise, Duchess of Argyle, and Beatrice. Princess Henry of Battenburg. If so good a mother as Queen Victoria Justly may be said to have had a fa vorite eon, then Arthur William Patrick Albert, Duke of Connaught. was that son. Just as the Princess Beatrice may be said to have been her favorite daughter. The duke was born in 1850, shortly after a visit which Queen Victoria made to Ireland, and it Is due to an incident of that visit that he bears the name Patrick. In 1897 the duke married the beautiful Princess Louise, of Prussia, second cousin to the present Kaiser. He has three chil dren. His elder daughter. PrineesB Margaret. Ia the wife of Crown Prince Gustavus Adolphus of 8weden and some day will be Queen of that country. His only son. Prince Arthur Patrick, Is unmarried, as Is his younger daughter. Princess Victoria Patricia. The duke, It will be observed, did not forget the Irish when ho named his son and younger daughter.

Not long ago some one Dr, Bun Yat Sen. the Chinese re former, who waa banished from the empire not long ago and Is now In the United States.

TENNIS CHANGES IN ENGLAND Lawns Gradually Being Replaced by Hard Surface Courts in Vogue Elsewhere Experience Wins. "Go It, baldhcad!" was a cry fre quently heard at the recent lawn ten nis tournament at Wimbledon, and a spectator could not help observing that gray hairs and bald heads out numbered the locks of youth among I ho players after the first day or two. Yet lawn tennis is an athletic game, perhaps the most active of all sum mer pastimes, demanding unusual pow ers of endurance, and one looks tor endurance and agility In the young Finding that, the daring and physical strength of youth are beaten by the experience of age, the conclusion to he drawn is that the new generation Is not learning the essentials of the game The group of veterans who beat the youngsters this year cannot be expected to do these wonders again. Young men from other coun tries will come again and they will win because there will he no opposi tion (o prevent tbem from doing so. And why? Because, some critics say, the continent has learned the game from prorcsslonals and has learned It upon hard courts There Is a rreedorn and power In the rorelgn style which Is absent rrom the K'nglish game. In which few risks are taken In all probability this springs Irotn the fact that the typical courts of the continent are not grass, but have a hard, smooth surface from which every ball makes a true hound Scarcely one grass court In ten can be relied upon for a true bound of the ball. On surh Inferior surfaces style becomes cramped. First class players are not to be trained upon third rate ourt s. The best promise for Kngllfch lawn tennis Is Ihe fact that the clubs are losing their faith In grass. In HO years' lime tho very name of lawn tennli may appear strange to our ears, the number of actual lawns de voted to the game will have become so small. Already hard courts are be ing constructed In every direction In a lew years they will probably give Knglaml a new t-cbool of tennis play ers who will meet on equal terms the bert products of the continental and American chilis GOSSIP OF SPORTDOM J Toea re more important now in I football than weight. ituffiier. tbe Purdue player, "wnHO't ;uiy rougher'n lols of others."

Nothing Is More Repulsive to Spee tutors Than Constant 6ouabblee Between Competitors and OffV cii'i During Contest. In football as e:l a In evej branch of sporf nothing te more re puisne to spectators than constant sqaabbles betwter. (orcpe'.ltorb and ufflcials To question the derision of Judges at a horserace, or a footrace, automo bile ur trotting race simple Is a waate of time, and these decisions ranuut be reversed unltbS there Is a wrong interpretation of rulto which govern surh contests if coaches would enforce a rule that only captains of elevens could ques tion or ask an Interpretation of an offi cial's decision football certainly would be placed on a higher plane and one of the most distasteful features of the game eo far as the spectators are concerned would be obliterated, writes Walter Kckersall in the Chicago Trib une football officials are selected be cause of their known Impartiality, their thorough knowledge of the rules, and their sense of honor The men. all college graduates, of ficiating In gridiron contests this year have been put to many severe teBts, nnd in few instances have they erred Spectators never should condemn an official for levying a penally, for the arbiters of the game are In better po sition and understand more thoroughly the exact interpretations of the rules I se of hands in the Interference, coaching from the side lines, holding in the line, offsjde play, and a num ber of other infringements of the rules are points which the average spectator does not see. but when an official inflicts penalties for such breaches of the rules he generally meets with criticism from the stands Those who have plaed football and have been in many hard fought con tists have had fouls called when they did not believe they wore guilty of any infringement. In such cases, these players have been so carried away with the excitement of the con tests as to be unconscious of any breach.-s In the rules they made, but when apprised of the conditions by officials they have admitted their guilt. In the large universities, where It Is part of tho preparation of an eleven to teach the players the rules and their possibilities, the players seldom question an official's decision The members of these teams are so well versed in U'e rules as to know when an arbiter's decision is right or wro and for this reason few disputes arise. If the colleges in the eastern, west ern, and Missouri valley conferences would follow the precedent established at West Point, one of the most dis tasteful features of football would he done away with. Discipline reknB su preme at the army institution The captain of a football team controls his men the same as a colonel of a regi ment or captain of a company. If any member of a West Point football eleven questions the orders of the captain ho must report to higher of ficials as soon as the same is com pleted if the captain files charges.
