S SPORTING WORLD W1 utton Otn ensgen Schaefer. *~ i BRSutton has challenged Jake Sphi0t1for to play for the world's cham plohship, id the present premier of Cue m1alipulitors states that he 18 per fectly willing to meet Sutton again. Schaefer ibelieves, as do most judges of billiards. that he can defeat Sutton at any time and at any kind of bil Jiards. Sutton's challenge was sent to Clii cego and in part roads as follows: "I hereby and,':herein challenge you for the billiard championship at eight een inch balk line, one shot in, for the emblem which you have held sinco the month of December, 1001, In accord JAKE BOHAEEII, BILIAUD CHAMPION. nceo with the rules and regulations governing the said championship. Obey ing section 2 of said rules and regula tions, I have this day deposited the sum of $250, the first half of a stake of $500 provided by said rules, which is to be deposited by each of the players, the holder and challenger. "I stand ready to play off a game deciding said championship, 500 points lip, any day you may name after Nov. 15, 1903. You have the naming of the city wherein said game vill come off, provided it be situated In the United States or in France." Tebe a's Mis Baseball patrons az 'uick to get an linight Into to,~~ 1ns1gt i politics of the game. t- George Tebeai, formerly of the Senators, went to Louisville and gave the fans a strong team, one that came near landing the penna nt, and the people responded by giving the most liberal patronage possible to the ia vader. George did well from a tian elal lpoint of view. This seasoni he mnixed ump with the Kuansas City club and from all ac counts took an interest in it. The Louis ville people heard of it, and there was a great falling off in the attendance this season. It may be that tihe light attendance wasB (1u1 to poor playing at the start, hut there were many rumors to the ef fect thnt the fans did( not like the idea -of on~e mani handlig two clubs, with the result that neither one wvas up to the piroper form. The same howli was made at Kansas City, and tho papers now refer to the Kansas City team as the Te-Gear-Ileau club. One club is enough for one mag nate, as George no doubt has found out. The CyclerM.

Perhaps no clock In America has a nore Interesting history than the one in the steeple of the City Hall and market house at Alexandria, Va. Back: in the days-before the war Aloxndria was one of the Southern cities which was known as a pretty rapid place for the sporting fraternity, but in those days .it was a square game, and ito cheating-a gentleman's game from start to linish. On one occasion the town had been visited by several gamblers from the Southwest who hdd come hither "see ing whom they might devour." At length a respectable citizoii, who oc casionally took a flyer with cards, fell into a. snare which was set for him, and after a series of gaimes, carried on on different nights, he found himself fleeced out of something like $2,500. As a "true Southernier" lie had to make good, and this he did without bickering, but with the determination to get even. lie was too honorable not to stand the hazard of the die. A lucky thought enabled him to bring- about his revenge on the black leg. le had knowledge that there was an old law in Virgina-and a simila'r law is now on the statute books-established while she was vet a colony, in which it was "made and provided" that if any man could not show that he was pursuing soime "law ful means of obtaining a liveliho-d" he should be sold or hired out at suc tion to prevent, by his labor, his be coming chargeable to the town. Going before a Justice of the peace lie immediately entered complaint against the gamester. The man was arrested, tried, and condemned to be sold at auction. Here was a dilemma. The gambler was at first disposed to treat the whole matter as a joke. But he soon found out his mistake. lie was taken to a public stand, "put up" for sale, and the bidding began-the sale "peremptory." Ills victim started the bid with "one hundred dollars." "Two hundred." said the blackleg. And so the gambler and his victim went on bidding until the amount reached $2,000), when the former hog ged to be let off, pleading poverty. but all his pleadings would not cause the cheated man to relinquish his de termination to make him pay dear for what lie had done. There was no al ternative, the gambler must either lie forced into a service of degrading labor, under the supervision of a man who had small cause to love him, or he must go on bidding for himnselt', whig he was actually compellQde (17until the sum had. Ychdf3, $:%.;00, when he was peA1<itted to pay over the amount *& i'iepart from the town, a crowd of hooting, yelling men and boys follow ing him to the wharf, where to took the steamer. The citizens then gave the proceeds of the the "man sale" (A) the city to lie use(d in putting up a clock and steeple on the town hall and market house, whvl'ch uillding was torn down a few yeers ago lo make room for a larger and more modern structure. Not a great many of the cilti'elnis know the history of the old steeple and clock, but Capt. Eldward IDanger field told the Ituilding Conmmittec "at he was particularly desirous of seeing the steeple andl clock preserved end thiat lie wished to defray all expense of having the clock repaired and "miodernizAed"' for the new building. This proposition was accepitedl and to (lay thle people of the good old city hiave practtically the same steeple aind clock their old-time citizen made a gambler pay for.-tchmond Times IDispmatchi. Extracting Perfumes. A comimoni method ot extracting per fumes froim flowers is enfleuraged, which consists ini placing the blossoms in contact with purifiedl lard for- a few (lays. When saturatedi with the per fume, the lard itself muay be usedl, or lhe essential oil may be extr-acted1 un der1 strong alcohol. The pirocess he !ig tedious, many attempts-mostly unsatisfactory-hiave been nmadle to oh taini the essential oil dir-ect tromi the flowers by means of light petroleuim. A curious recent discovery is that pcir fume nmaking still goes on in the flow ers during enfieurage, and Dr. Albert ilesse reports that a ton of tube rose blossoms only yielded sixty-six grains of oil by3 petroleumi extr-action, hut gave up 801 grams to the imbedding fat in entieurage, and yielded seventy eight grams more when the fade d biossomns were distilled. The flowers appieair to have contained more per tume after exhaustion by enfleurage then whlen fiirst gathered.-Exchange. The Gloomy Sentries. To and fr'o march tihe sentries in fronit of lHuckingham Palace, meeting lace to face for a moment, and then sep~arating without a word, as if their feud were too deep for speech. This sp~ectacle is watched with symnpathe tic intermest by A umricanu visitors, who occasionally intervene. The sentries wete glaiing at each other onie imor-n lng when a stranger standing close by reimrked: "Come, boys! Make it upl" .inot her Amnericana prop~osedl to heal the bireachi with a little fr'iendly con versation. "say, does your- king live heret" lie opened genially, The two sentries stared imp~asslvely, and then resumied their tramp. Uip came a po licemian. "Can I tell you anything, sir' " said lhe. "Yes," aiiswered the American. "Tell moe why these young hiear'ts are silent and sore.
