If Kelly don't care to take a chance with his man and his $2B00 I am willing to bet the same that I can beat Owen Moraji oi Ad Wolgast or any other good lightweight first first served.

Foot Ball Rules Committee. Members of the Football Rules Commltee are to have their annual meeting at the Hotel Cumberland, in this city, February 3 and 4. The committee of ofurteen will be the same as last year, except that the places of Lieutenant H. H. Hackett of West Point, and Dr.

W. A. Lambeth of the University of Virginia, will be ta'ken by Lieutenant Cooper of the army and S. C. Williams of the state University of Iowa.

There be quite a little revision to be effected. That any radical changes will bemade this year hardly seems 'provable. The forward pass doesn't seem to be foot toall, and it is not an easy matter to reconcile it will the game, even if it does add variety to it. Yet those who favor this hybrid compromise between foot ball am; basket ball probably are strong enough numerically to see that it 1.3 retained- There's only one check to the forward pass, and that is a serious accident, which may result some day when it is being attempted.

That's perfectly allowable; in jiu Jitsu. Almost anything is permissible in the noble Japanese: sport short of absolute murder.

In connection with the Bingham episode J. D. Pilmore, manager of the Bijou Theater of Bay City, Mich-, writes to the Evening Telegram as follows: 1, "Will you please" find out if Ed Bingham, light weight wrestler of England, ever was in.

In the San Francisco Post appears a letter from "Lew" Powell, who left here not long ago for his California home, beating it with a joy illumined countenance the moment that he got out of the snow belt. Having no early acquaintance with sleds and snow contracts he couldn't acquire an educated taste or tfcV luxuries of winter. Powell is up in the air, because of the remarks made by "Jack" Goodman's manager, "Sammy" Kelly.

He writes: "After reading about what 'Jack' Goodman's manager has to say I would like to state on behalf of myself that he has a lot of nerve to come out and say that Goodman bested me after the bout he put up with me. All he did was to hold on and butt all through the light. I had only three days to train for Goodman and in addition to being outweighed seven pounds you can see he had a big advantage- He was very lucky to say the ten rounds. I hurt my left hand in the seventh round and fought the last three rounds with one hand, and if the fight had gone five more rounds I would have knocked him out. I notice that 'Jack' Goodman lsues a challenge to any 133 pound manln the world, 'but he never boxes at 133 pounds; 135 pounds at three o'clock is the lowest weight he will make.

Jack is noted for that in the East and he gets away with it, as he has a big following there, but his weight don't scare me, and if Goodman's pit Beautiful 45-Fiece Dinner Set-" $1.00 on delivery of Dishes and 10 Cents a week for a year, pays both dishes and THE AL-LENTOWN DEMOCRAT.

It tries our friendship a lot, because sometimes I can't sympathize. When she fell in love with the boy who brought the laundry school I helped it along a (bit, because, although he was so plain, I could see that he had magnetism. 'He had pinkish hair that stood up straight all over his head. His eyes didn't have any eyelashes, but he was able to look at the girls in the most expressive and languishing way. CEver so many of them seemed to feel that he had some subtle charm, but here was evidently such a strong soul sympathy between him and Agnes that she cut the others out altogether.

The night they had planned to elope there wa-n awful storm just like a book artd if only he had been O'Toole, instead of "Sammy," it would have been ideal. I was helping them, and so was Blanche Davidson, and we couldn't help wishing we were eloping, too. Blanche felt heartbroken, because, she said, she knew she was his real love. The trouble was he had looked at her to expressively when he wasn't looking at "THE OTHER iNIGtHT AT A TAXOE" Agnes. I knew Agnes was the only woman in the world for him, but I do thindt men ought to be more careful.

The result was that all our plans fell through and we nearly got expelled and all sorts of terrible things. When we had Asnes all arranged In a big toasket of clothes that were going to the wash just like the little Dauphin Blanche became absolutely hysterical and said she would elope with him, too, and if there wasn't room in that basket she would get in another, and he could call for both of them. Agnes was perfectly furious, and I explained to Blanche that we only had clean clothes left and he couldn't take them away with him, and I also tried to make her sqje that we were in America and that he couldn't have a harem. But she said they could go straight to Turkey, as she had, some money saved. Agnes got madder and madder, and said she was a sneak, and Blanche cried and made such a noise that Miss Blangrdon, the history, teacher, came in and we had a dreadful time Thank goodness she was engaged to a man that had pinkish hair, too, so she sympathized with them and we escaped more easily than we might have.

We found out afterward that Sammy hadn't come, anyway, on ac- I count of the rain and a sore toe. And the boy who was going to help him carry away the basket that had Agnes in it forgot an about it and didn come either. It wasn't a bit like "The Earl's Revenge; or. Married Now," and the whole affair disappointed me "HIE HAD SOME SUBTLE CHARM." terribly. It was fearful, to me when she began? to develop a tenderness for the grocer in the village because he was married and I foresaw a divorce and all kinds of complications but thank goodness he moved away Now she is in love with Piggy, whom she's known ever since he was a little boy He would be very good looking if he didn't resemble a pig, and I think he likes her a great deal.

She sits and tells me of what she thinks he really meant when he told her it had grown warmer outside, and then wants to know what I thought he meant. The other night at a dance she couldn't find her maid and let old Bradly take her home. When he goes to a ball, anyway, he is so old he has to be propped up against the wall until he is assisted into the supper room and she told me, in great excitement, he had tried to kiss her on the way. told her I didn't, think it meant anything, because if he toll Bingo, her bull terrier," home from a Sanoe, and it had a skirt on and a rose tied to its ear, he wouldn't know the difference. She was perfectly raving, because she was going to tell Piggy a'bout it' and she said she wouldn't now, and she'd never confide anything in me again.

I told her I didn't see what use it would- be to make Piggy jealous of poor old Bradly, who would be perfectly delighted if any girl would say he had kissed her. She hasn't spoken to me for three days- The Remnant Sale Comes Once Each Season. Suits or overcoats made to order from fabrics that formerly sold from $16.76 to $25. at 9.75.

The room had been ransacked by two white men and a negro, and the cur-' tain and the side of one window was blazing smartly when Mr. Haag found his friend tied up and in danger of being burned to death. Mr. Haag called loudly for help, and his cries were heard by Policeman Cur-tin. Curtin turned in a Are alarm.

He returned to the house and aided In unloosing Mr. Baton, who was almost unconscious. It was several minutes before he was able to tell his story. "I was awakened in the middle of the night," he told them, "by a man bending otot me. Before I could call out he had stuffed a rag in my mouth.

I started to struggle, bnt I was seized from behind, and after being, struck ereral times in the face was trussed up like a fowl and put in the corner on the floor. "There were a ifegro and tw white men, all three masked. "After ransacking the room one of them came over and kicked me once or twlc in the ribs. All appeared very angry that they had not made a bigger haul. They took one more look around the room and then put out the light.

They went dewnstairs so softly that I scarcely heard them." A cigarette which one of the men paused to smoke was flung on the floor against a lace curtain. It smoldered away, and 'some time after they had gone the fire spread to the curtain and set the woodwork of the window afire.

Only the timely arrival of the, reserves from the Bed- ford avenue police station, Brooklyn, saved Dr. Elizabeth Bruyn of the Williamsburg hospital staff from being injured when she tried to stop a man she was attending from joining in a knife fight with three other men.

While she was dressing the wound the fight started again, and the patient tried to break away from her and take part in it. MAY NOT TRY BANKER ROBIN. Formal Report of Alienists Expected to Be That He Is Insane.

York, Jan. 24. Alienists retained by District Attorney Whitman to inquire into the sanity of Joseph G. Robin, the indicted banker, have made an informal report to Mr. Whitman that Robin is insane.

A fonjl report, to which the alienists will explain how they arrived at that conclusion, will be made in a few days. This means that Robin in all probability will not be brought to trial tt his "operations which, the authoritiKw charge, were responsible for the closing of the Northern bank and the Washington Savings bank. He will probably be sent to Mattea-mn until he recovers his sanity in the event of the commission deciding he is mentally incompetent. AEROPLANE AFIRE IN AIR. AY'.

Baltimore News writer says: 'Rob bie' is having a strenuous time these days deciding whether or not to accept Manager McGraw's offer to go to Marlin Springs with him next month. There is no doubt about the genial backstop's desires, for he wants to go, but the fact is that 'Cap' hates to leave his business for' ten weeks. 'Robbie' insists that each trip to Marlin means an additional, year of life, and it need not be surprisng if he again accepts the offer of the Giants' leader. Of course, there is pretty fat salary that goes along with this and from which must be considered.

"Sure enough there was a platform, with wires strung across it, one above another, with birds perched upon it as closely as they could squeeze themselves together, while the eagle, who conducted the meeting, sat on a perch by himself.
