jaMIBA DAII GAZETTE AND FREE PHE5S. OCTOSEK 11, 1898. PROPOSALS FOR BONDS OPENED WlBfter Yon Own Fnrs OB Only Want ta Own Tnem. to this council and that the council take a recess. Adopted.

The mayor appointed Aldermen Finnell, McGuigan and Causer as such committee. At the expiration of the time allowed for a recess the council was again called to order and Alderman Finnell of the committee on coal proposals presented the following report: To the Honorable, the Common Council: Your committee to whom was referred the coal proposals respectfully report that we have examined the same and find that the bid of G. W. H. Frisbie to furnish pea coal at $2.64 the stretch was reached, fought it out with these two and won by one length in a hard drive.

In the fourth heat Bingen went away in the lead, followed by Grattan Boy and Eagle Flanagan, the order to the half, when John Nolan moved up and in a whipping finish won by half a length, Pilatus getting second place from Eagle Flanagan, with Bingen fourth. The fifth, and deciding heat was trotted just as dusk was coming on, Grattan Boy, Eagle Flanagan and Pilatus alternated in the lead until the three-quarter pole was reached, when John Nolan joined in with them and, in a driving finish, every horse under the whip, four horses finished heads apart with John Nolan a winner of the fastest five heats on record. It was the greatest race ever trotted for the Transylvania. Time 2:07 3-4; 2:08 1-2; 2:09 1-2; 2:09 3-4.

PRICES Are Right. M. SULLIVAN, WOMEN WILL PLAY GOLF. Sixty Fair Golfers Will Meet To-day. NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.

Will Be Decided After Four Doy Ploy Play at Ardsley-The Winner is To Receive a $1,000 Trophy. Sixty fair golfers will meet in tournament array to-day for the women's golf championship of the United States. Ardsley is the place chosen for this annual ordeal, and four days will be devoted to the Strang's- The winner is. to receive the JI.OjO trcph presented to the United Go! association by Robert Ccx of Edinburgh, Scotland, and faur medals will be distributed among the leading contestants, In preparation for this important event the Ardsley links have been under the watchful care of professionals, who are experts in the greenskeeper's art, and the turf has been rolled and watered and shaved until it presents nothing that even a woman's critical eye could condemn. To-day there is to be a round at eighteen medil play, in which the best eight will be chosen to compete for the championsh'p, walle their less fortunate companions will take no further part in tha contest.

One noticeable thing in connection with the list is the absence of a host of players who figured in the championship of a year ago. However, this is not strange, for the history of these events shows that women are essentially less determined strivers after golfing laurels than men. Only nine of those who played at Manchester-by-the Sea last season are to be found among the present list, and of these tut four were (present in the Morri3 County championship of 1S96. This courageous quartette consists of Miss Beatrix Hoyt of Shinnecock Hills, the present champion; Mrs. F.

E. Zerrahn of the Brook- line Country Club; Miss Frances Gris-om of the Philadelphia Country Club and Mrs. William Shippen of the Morris Countv Golf Club. Those who will face the ordeal for the second time, in addition to the four just mentioned are Mrs. Hcbart Chat-field-Taylor of Chicago, Miss Lucy Herron of Cincinnati, Miss Ruth Un-herhill of Glen Cove and Miss Madeline Boardman and Miss II.

S. Curtis of will thus be seen that the list is one in which new names predominate, and for this reason any confidsnt prediction as to the outcome is difficult. Still the unequivocal superiority which Miss Hoyt has shown in every contest in which she has taken part, and the strength of her present game, makes it reasonably certain that this clever little golfer will repeat her triumph of the last two seasons in a way to leave no doubt as to where the real championship of the country lies. Most noticeable among the absentees is Miss N. C.

Sargent of the Essex Club, who was runner up to Miss Hoyt a year ago, and Miss Sands of Newport. Miss Sargent showed genuine ability in her game, and her failure to appear is a severe disappointment. Miss Helen Shelton is the hope of the Morris County Club, and she will carry with her the prestige of a superb record of the Morris County links. Miss Shelton is the champion of the club, and as Morris County is famous for the skill of its women players that i title speaks volumes for the strength of her game. Last Tuesday Miss Shel- ton figured in the team match against! the Philadelphia women, when she covered the Morris County links In 103, which shows what may be expected from her next week.

Mrs. John Jacob Astor, who will appear for the first time in an open tournament, has been spending the season in Newport, where she has given ample evidence of her thorough knowledge of the game. Miss Frances Gris-com, the nineteen year old Philadelphia girl, has shown herself to be a player with whom an opponent can ill afford to take chances. The West is ably represented by Miss Lucy Hayes Herron of Cincinnati, a player who should not be Overlooked in reckoning the championship possibilities. Last year Miss Herron took third place, and friends claim that she has developed a considerably batter style since then.

Miss Reid, a daughter of the ex-presldent of the St. Andrew's Club, is another girl who flg-ures among the new aspirants for the the cup. The Dyker Meadow woman champion is Miss Grace Chauncey, who also appears for the first time, but among the golfers across the bridge she is looked upon as a possible medal winner. The officers of the United States association are well pleased at the outlook, and, in their opinion, the contest will be the closest and most exciting since the event was inaugurated four years ago. HOW TO PREVENT CROUP.

We have two children who are subject to attacks of croup. Whenever an attack is coming on my wife gives them Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and it always prevents the attack. It is a household necessity in this county and no matter what else we run out of, it would not do to be without Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. More of it is sold here than of all other cough medicines combined. J.

"Kid" Goulette Knocked the Colored Man Out Last Night. Rochester, Oct. 11. "Kid" Goulette hooked his right to "Joe" Hopkins' jaw last night in the middle of the ninth round of what was to have been a twenty-five round bout and put the colored whirlwind to sleep. The knockout, the first ever administered to Hopkins In his eight years in the ring, was delivered before a wildly enthus-Itstic audience of 1,000 people at the Rienzi Athletic club.

The crowd completely filled the club house. Hopkins did most of the aggressive work, but Goulette countered beautifully, his defense was good and he seldom failed to land when he led. In the third round Hopkins drew olooi from Goulette's nose and latter swelled up his left eye. To offset this, Goulette gave Hopkins a fearful thumping in the body. "Yank" Sullivan refereed the bout.

There was quite a little roughing by both men. RACES AT LEXINGTON. Every Heat Yesterday Was a Genuine Contest. Lexington, Oct. 11.

After two more days of delay on account of rain the meeting of the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders' association resumed at noon yesterday with the 2:08 class, two heats of which had been trttted Thursday, William Penn having won the first and Rilma, the favorite, taking the second. The weather and track were fine yesterday, the attendance large and the sport all that could be desired. Every heat of the four races was a genuine contest. In the unfinished 2:08 class, Pilot Boy, the good gray gelding from Canton, furnished the surprise, both he and William Penn outfooting the favorite, Rilma, who was heavily backed. In the 2:13 pacing class, Hal B.

was favorite at $25 to $30 for the field. After winning two heats, Hal B. was beaten out by The Bishop, who was unthought of in the betting. There were fifteen starters in the 2:27 class for trotters, which went over, unfinished, after Maggie Lass had won the first heat and Bessie Owens the second. Nine horses scored for the word in the Transylvania, with Dione at" the pole, which she kept until well into the stretch, closely pressed by Eagle Flanagan, who passed her and won quite handily, with Bingen second, Dione third and Grattan Boy fourth, the latter having come with a rush at the finish, taking a wheel off Keating's sulky.

In the second heat Eagle Flanagan led for three-quarters of a mile, with Grattan Boy close up. The latter fought it out with Hudson's horse and beat him in an exciting finish, with Dione third and Bingen fourth. The heat was very close between the first four horses. John Nolan, who had beti seventh in the first two heats, shot out in the third and, led by Grattan Boy and Pilatus until At a Special Meeting of the Council Iast Night.

After fighting twenty-five rounds, at 13S pounds, before the Greater New York Athletic club last night, "Jack" Daly of Wilmington, was given a decision over Owen Zeigler of Philadelphia.

This decision was unlooked and uncalled for, as Zeigler had the bettjr of the fistic argument. He did a lot of good work towards the close of the bout, but probably injured his standing with Referee Brown when he told the latter at the end of the twenty-third round that he wanted no draw for his. Some very peculiar decisions have been rendered at this club house fince boxing was resumed under the Horton law, but none of them was greeted with such general disfavor as this one. The understanding was that a decision would be rendered, and as Zeigler had the better of the contest he was entitled to a favorable verdict. The spectators hooted and groaned when Referee Brown's fiat was announced.

Daly left the ring without being recognized, while Zeigler was loudly cheered, but this did not bring him the honors nor the long end of the money. SPARRING IN SCRANTON. Scranton will have a series of boxing contests through the efforts of the Excelsior club. The first will be held at Music hall in that city on Thursday, when Jack Lynch of Brooklyn will meet John Tighe of Scranton in a twenty-round contest. Tighe, who has never been defeated, whipped Squirrel Finnerty in ten rounds.

Lynch has done some good nvork. Binghamton Republican. SCHOOL COMMISSIONER ELECTION. An election will be held in commissioner districts Nos. 2 and 4 on Tuesday, October 11, 1S98, for the purpose of choosing school commissioners in place cf George McCann of No.

2 and Lawrence A. Turner of No. 4, whose terms of office then expire. The polling place for No. 2 will be the voting booth on College avenue, near Water street, and for No.

4 the voting booth of the second district of the 7th ward, lecated on Benton street. The polls will be open at 1 o'clock p. and continue open until 7 p. m. The following is the law defining legal voters at a school election.

By the provisions of the law there are four classes of persons entitled to vote at school district meetings in this state; First. Every person of full age who is a citizen of the United States and a resident of the commissioner district, and who has resided therein for a period of thirty days next preceding the meeting at which he or she offers to vote, and who owns or hires, or is in the possession under a contract of purchase, of real property in such district liable to taxation for school purposes. Second. Every resident of the district, and who has resided therein for a period of thirty days next preceding the meeting at which he or she offers to vote, who is a citizen of the United States, twenty-one years of age, and who is a parent of a child of school age, provided such child shall have attended the district school (in the district in which the meeting is held), for a period of at least eight weeks within one year preceding such school meeting. Third.

Every resident of the district, and who has resided therein for a period of thirty days next preceding the meeting at which he or she offers to vote, who is a citizen of the United States, twenty-one years of age, not being a parent, who shall have permanently residing with him or her a child of school age which shall have attended the district school in said district for a period of at least eight weeks within one year preceding such school meeting. Fourth. Every resident of the district, and who has resided therein for a period of thirty days next preceding the meeting at which he or she offers to vote, wno is a citizen of the United States, twenty-one years of age, who owns any personal property, assessed on the last preceding assessment-roll of the town, exceeding fifty dollars in value, exclusive of such as is exempt from execution. In either cf said classes the voter may be male or female. In the first, third and fourth classes, the voter may be either married or single.

In the second class, both father and mother are entitled to vote. In the third class (cases of children residing with ethers than their parent,) the phrase "him or her" in the statute must be held to limit the suffrage to one person only, and that the head of the household. Therefore, where husband and wife living together have such a child or children residing with them, the wife is not on that account entitled to vote although she may be a voter by reason of possessing one or more of the other qualifications mentioned in the statute.

De Wolfe Hopper is not in the cast, but otherwise it has been agreed by critics that the present company is no deteriotion from the original cast. The costumes and scenery are the same as in the original production and in some respects the company is more capable. "El Capitan" is taken by William C. Mandeville. Miss Kate Michelena, the leading soprano, is a handsome woman with a remarkably clear and pleasing voice, admirably suited to the role of Isabel, the daughter of Don Medigua, the arrant coward who peses as th2 redoutable fighter, "El Capitan." "El Capitan" is described as a comic opera, and is the joint work of John Philip Sousa, the eminent conductor, universally known as "The March King," and Charles Klein, the young and talented author.

The action of the opera takes place in Peru, a country of romantic sentiment. King Philip of Spain has, for state reasons, appointed Don Medigua viceroy of Peru instead of Don Lulz Cazarro, whom he has summarily removed. Upon the new viceroy's arrival In Peru he discovers that Cazarro, the ex-viceroy, is at tho head of a well organized army of Peruvian insurgents to deprive him of his viceregal authority. Seeing himself in immediate danger Don Medigua declines to publicly pose as viceroy and appoints one Pozzo, a poor dependent, to act as the king's representative instead of himself; thus Pozzo's life is constantly in danger, while Don Medigua joins the insurgents under the nom de guerre of El Capitan for the purpose of finding out how matters are, so as to be on both sides. Once in the enemy's camp, El Capitan spends money freely and acquires an eminent reputation as a fighter, mainly through reports which he circulates himself, and finally when the viceroy's palace is atttacked, himself leads the mob, captures Pozzo, accuses him of being the newly appointed viceroy, and gags him to prevent him exposing his real identity, and, having won the plaudits of the gentry by his generosity and bravado, becomes the hero of the hour.

Estrelda, the daughter of Cazarro, a romantic young girl, falls in love with Don Medigua, whose prowess as El Capitan has completely turned her head. El Capitan's reputation as a fighter grows so enormously that Cazarro determines to make him his son-in-law, and El Capitan is forced to accept the yoke of engagement to Estrelda, and tries to live up to the situation as her lover. In the meantime Pozzo is in a prison of which El Capitan 13 gaoler, and in order to allay any suspicion as to Pozzo's real identity, El Capitan subjects him to many indignities. The news arrives that the Royalists have come to the rescue of Don Medigua. Cazarro calls his men to arms and appoints Don Medigua captain general of the Peruvian forces and El Capitan is compelled to lead the enemy to battle against himself.

El Capitan's much vaunted bravery Is now put to the test. He tries to lose his army in the woods and acts in such a cowardly manner that he is denounced on all sides as a traitor, and Estrelda's love for him vanishes as she sees him in his true colors. He is finally captured, and is about to be treated as an insurgent when he is recognized by the general and released. Bella Fox in the Little Host. Bright lines, brief and awfully funny situations, a plentiful sprinkling of simple and catchy music, beautiful young women, a fine supporting organization, picturesque scenery, love and fun galore are what is claimed for Delia Fox's new operatic comedy, "The Little Host," which is to be presented at the Lyceum, Thursday evening, October 13th.

Edgar Smith andLouis'De the authors, were at great pains to fit the clever comedienne with a play that should be sufficiently adapted to her talents to justify her resolve to leave the field of comic opera far least one season. She is of the opinion that they have provided her with the best medium she ever had, and thus far the consensus of judgment of her myriad admirers coincide with her own estimate. "The Little Host" seems to have hit the popular taste. The two gentlemen who wrote it are famed for writing smart, up-to-date plays, and the present joint effort is not inferior to any of their previous attempts. The comical situations are intrusted to Miss Fox, Messrs.

Robert E. Graham, John C. Slavin and Eugene O'Rourke. The chorus is something of a novelty, as it is composed altogether of young ladies. The leading serious parts are taken by Messrs.

Hugh Chilvers, H. D. Blakemore, Herbert Carter, Frank Kelly and oth-jrs. The motive of the play is to provide ELMIRA, N. Y.

an evening of rare enjoyment, and all the energies of star and players arj bent on that attainment. With thi well understood talents of Miss Fox, her winsome personality and her thorough popularity, with all the adjuncts of costly scenic adornment and a stage full of selected beauties and other attractive auxiliaries, "The Little Host" will doubtless prove the strongast kind of a magnet to draw large crowds. MYSTERY ABOUT DEATH OF MIS3 EASTER. New York, Oct. 10.

Mystery surrounds the suicide of Edith Easter, pretty chorus girl in Weber Field's "Hurly-burly" company Late last night a well dressed young man roused two physicians in West Twenty-fourth street and asked thera to attend Miss Easter, who was dying. The man accompanied the doctors to the doer of the Falk building, where the girl lodged, and then hurriedly left. The doctors found Miss Easter dead. Burns about the mouth and face and an empty vial told a story of suicide by carbolic acid poisoning. Miss Easter was apparently in good spirits yesterday.

The police are trying to find the young man who was with her last evening and who called the doctors. He can probably explain the cause of Miss Easter's death. CLEMEN EAL" STATEMENTS. Paris, Oct. 10.
