EGAUDINO golf playing In
this country thu New .om
Tribune says:
AKlinni-li It lma mado such
strides, sotno years mum elnpio beforo
American players enn hopo to vlo with
their Caledonian rivals at tho roynl una
ancient game, dolt pre-eminently re
quires tho Judgment, skill and forco which
only Incessant praetlco can plve, and
here, as a rule, American players fall.
Uut thcro aro a number who aro rapidly
coming to tho fore. Tho recent Shin
necock tournament brought out somo cap
ital play, and as tho season advances
the- allowing Will becomo moro and moro
creditable Tyng, who won first place
at Shlnnecock, has especially dlstln
fiiiiii iiiTif.tf ni nn nmateur of bril
liant qualities, nnd ho Is nmopg tho
strongest candidates for tho national
championship. Ills form Is thoroughly
characteristic, seldom aggressive, but pos
sessing a force nnd conlldenco that stamp
him at once as a master of tho play. Ills
victory at Shlnnecock was tho ilfth that
he has won In tournament play this sea
son. Foxhall Keene, of tho Ilockaway Hunt
club. Is a new comer In golfing contest,
but ho has apparently set out to mako
ns brilliant a reputation In them as ho
has dono In other sports to which ho has
given his attention, l'ho Shlnnecock turn
ament marked his debut In open meet
ings, but Judged by his success In It, ho
should bo ranked with the leading ex.
ponents of tho game In this part of tho
country. Ho reached tho llnal round
against a Held of nearly seventy com
petitors, and was only defeated by Tyng
after a close contest. Though lacking tho
finish of a seasoned player, ho has a
clever and forceful stylo that amply
makes up for any lack of form. Ills ap
proach shots aro marvellous In their ac
curacy, whllo his driving, though vari
able, is of a Bort that betokens an un
usual aptitude for tho game. His sud
den rise from obscurity to prominence aa
a golfer makes him n central ilguro on
tho links Just now, and his futuro play
will bo watched with tho closest Interest.
W. G. Stewart Is another crock wnoso
promlnenco in recent tourneys has been
noteworthy. Stewart has but recently
como to this country from England,
where at his homo clubs, tho Lytham
and St. Anno's, ho Is ruted at plus two.
At Shlnnecock ho won tho gold medal
tot- tho. best gross score. Ho Is on ex
tremely erratic player, ono day making
the most marvellous shots and tho next
falling; back to a disappointing medio
crity. 'Of tho younger golfers, S. D. Bowers,
of tho Otsego club, of Cooperstown, has
held an cnvlablo placo this season. Ills
natural aptitude for tho gamo coupled
with a fine physlquo and keen eye havo
won him a number of important contests.
He Is a player who combines freedom of
etlo with an exceedingly accurate and
aggressive driving stroke, and his form,
whllo often uncertain, nover lacks tho
Interest of tni)hed play.
Another pf tho well-known golfers Is
James Park, tho captain of the IUchmond
County Golf club's team, and a player
who has been a familiar Ilguro on tho
links for years. Park met Tyng In the
semi-final at Shlnnecock and was badly
outclassed. In fact ho has not been show
ing his best form lately. He Is likely to
become overanxious under tho trying or
deal of an Important match, and this
fact has often resulted In placing him In
a much poorer light than ho deserves.
Ho is a brilliant player at times and
knows tho gamo In every detail.

Consldering-tho short timo that golf has
received tile favor of women, it is in
teresting to note with what enthusiasm
they havo taken up tho game. Women's
handicaps aro how as much a flxturo on
the links as the men's contests, and the
coming championship at Manchester-by-the-Sea
Is expected to attract a largo
number of feminine devotees. Miss Bea

Did you ever try to write "poetry"
about base ball when you wanted to
say something soulful concerning birds
and flowers and trees about the blue
skies of summer and the sunshine of
youth? Probably not. Maybe the city
editor never looked at you with a
thundrous glance and said: "We must
have a verse or two for tho top of this
column. Write something nbout base
ball. You're tho only one around here
who can take time to do it Just now."
Possibly, If such an Incident occurred,
you timidly suggested that you had
something In your mind regarding tho
beauties of nature and the delight of
a day In the forest far from the mad
ding crowd, but the city editor treated
this Implied Intention with fine scorn,
declaring that there were silly young
girls, not to speak of a sufficient num
ber of lawyers In Scranton who could
wrlto stuff about babbling brooks,
whispering trees, love and such non
sense, but that which was now needed
was a base ball poem and tho print
ers were waiting for copy. So you
start In:
Oh dull and deep as distant thunder swell
The cries of multitudes afar,
(You rather approve of this begin
ning.) They sound like doleful groans from
(Dear, dear! How hard It Is to think
of a word that rhymes with "swell"
and goes with "groans," wKhout mak
ing a profano effect. That line will
have to be changed.)
Oh dull and deep as distant thunder ilso
The cries of multitudes afar
The sound llko notes of Paradise
To somo who hear them as they are.
The Summer breeze playa softly o'er

There you go again. Didn't the city
editor declare that this wasn't an oc

such nonsense? Let's sea

REV. JOHN n. DAVIS, who
preached Inst Sunday In the
First Presbyterian church,
Is an Illustration of what may
bo dono with energy and per
severance. In early years ho worked
In tho car shops In this city and strug
gled hard Indeed to lay tho founda
gled hard Indeed to lay the foundations
of hleeducatlon. Later ho worked his
way through college, where his schol
astic ability wan recognized. It was
while stationed at Tyrone that he de
livered his sermons at Ocean Grove
which attracted the attention of, a
church committee from Fourth avenue.
New York. To Mr. Davis' surprise
he was invited to that pulpit to follow
Dr. Howard Crosby. It did not tako
him a protracted period of time to de
cide as to what he should do. Ills an
swer was an acceptance and almost
Immediately he went to his new post
which ho has since been filling at a
largo salary and with great satisfaction
to tho congregation. Oddly enough It
was a church In Hyde Park that Just
previous to the call to New York was
considering Its shepherdless condition.
When the name of Mr. Davis was sug
gested, It was thought by some that
be was scarcely a "big enough a man"
to 1111 that pulpit so ho was not In
vited to Berve that congregation.
Hev. J. E. Price, D. D., will occupy
the pulpit at Elm Park church tomor
row. If so many members of the con
gregation were not absent from the
city, the large auditorium could not
contain the audience that would gath
er to hear one of the most popular and
scholarly pastors of tho church. Dr.
Price Is busy this summer In his ca
pacity of dean of the summer schoool
at Ocean Grove, where ho Is a great
favorite.
As Rev. Mr. Bell will leave the city
to take up work In his new field, the
coming week, this will be tho last op
portunity his many friends will have
to hear him In this city. A cordial In
vitation Is extended to all to come to
the Washburn street Presbyterian
church.
The Rev. C. II. Payne, D. D., LL. D
of New York, for many years presi
dent of the Ohio Wesleyan university,
and now secretary of the board of ed
ucation of the Methodist church, will
occupy the pulpit of the First Presby
terian church tomorrow morning. Dr.
Payne stands In the front rank of pul
pit orators and Is widely known as a
preacher of great force and earnest
ness. Volunteers of America aro still hold
ing forth on Linden street and court
house square. Meetings every night
at 8 p. m.; Sundays, 3.45 and 8 o'clock.
Subject for Sunday afternoon, "Our
Leader and who shall win." Captain
Mary Thompson, who has been station

Now there must bo some accounting
for tho "cries of multitudes" In the

this do?
Again the tumult rends the air
("Rends the air" Is always In good
taste; besides, It's so original. Now
you want a rhyme to fit with "run"

After admiring tho creature of your

have Harper and Massey pitch and run

shall do It, the umpire to the contrary
notwithstanding.
"It Isn't always so much fun to run
a photograph gallery as you might lm
nglne," remarked the photograph man
In the street car the other ufternoon.
"It Isn't all sweet little baliles and
beautiful women with madonna faces
and men with lino noblo countenances
nnd tempers to match. You havo to
pet and make lovo to children some
times when you don't feel a bit llko It.
You have to smile apologetically when
people come for their proofs nnd vocif
erously abuse you and your methods
because their offsprings do not look like
the cherubs of Sir Joshua Reynolds.
You havo to look pleasant when cross
eyed persons blame you for not per
forming a miracle In tho matter of
vision In their portraits and you have
to keep still and do a heap of thinking
when they audibly remark that they
never had such a looking picture In
their lives; that Mr. So and So always
got tho rlsht expression on dear little
Angelica and that Johnnlo never looked
so cross ns that In nil his sweet little
days. One of tho latest trlbutntlons of
a photographer Is that some of his pat
rons come attired like Solomon and
demand that ho shall lako them In
colors according to the latest thing In
the papers when tho fact Is that color
In photographs has not as yet been
demonstrated a success. Then tjiey
go away and say you're not up to date."
"Then," went on tho photograph man,
"If tho people were all we had to man
age It wouldn't bo bo bad but thcro

dignified pussies which generally know
what they've como for and sit up re
spectably. Many of the dogs, too, aro
very well behaved and put on a cun

Wrong Food at Bottom of

Allowed to Run On.
Put (lie Chilli at Once on Diet or
Lactatcd Food.
With cholera Infantum raging ns It Is
East and West this summer, it Is ap
palling to any one who understands
the subject to sco the carelessness of
parents and nurses In tho matter of
infant feeding.
It Is not enough to merely select .
pure nourishing food. It must be ac
ceptable to the delicate, weakened
stomach of tho little one ;hlgh' temper
ature makes It difficult for young chil
dren to digest only tho most "easily as
similable food without Irrltatlrib' their
intestines Into diarrhoea food must bo
taken In KUfl.clent quantities, and with,
relish to keep the child strong, well and
growing. . .
Lactntetl food is mado with tho ex-
press Intention of forming a reliable
Infant food nnd a perfect substitute for
healthy mother's milk. An Infant likes
It. Fretful, peevish babies grow
strong, ruddy and healthy on It. It has
tho unusual virtue of Inducing dellcato
babies to take an abundance of nour
ishment when other foods disagree
with' them, nnd when retarded growth,
feebleness and Intestinal Irritation!
threaten! the poorly-fed child.
Mothers and nurses who have used
lactated food all agree that It best sup
plies the materials for baby's rapid
growth and development. It Is pre
pared with a regard to purity, cleanli
ness and freedom from any posslblo
source of contagion that merits all tho
praise that has been so lavlshly be
stowed upon It by parents and physi
cians. Lactated food has tided thousands of
babies through tho hot, sickly days.
It should be ln-the hands of every par
ent. The 111-efiects of the Intense August
heat are far-reachlng. Many little ones
droop and pine, without appetite" and
strength. Their usual diet falls to
nourish, or moro often Is wholly re
jected. In this weakened condition tho
mistake of overfeeding, that anxious
parents tco often fall Into, Instead of
nourishing the little ones, only brings
on diarrhoea.
And diarrhoea, with the temperaturo
high up, results In cholera, infantum.
The most carefully, Intelligently
guarded children are those fed on lac
tated food. Babies, when weaning, do
not throw It up. Puny ones show a de
cided nnd Immediate gain. Their
steady, healthy growth Is due to this
rlfh nutiltlve that Is relished even lni
the hottest weather.
Lactated food brings sound sleep. It
.' checks all wasting disorders during hot
weather. Every year lactated food
savea thousands of lives.
A baby's duty Is to keep strong and
well. The parents' duty Is to give tho
Infant the best food in the world that
Is laclated fcod.

he wanted n 'group.' Now It's hard
enough work to pose a group of people,
but when it Is dogs possessed to chew
each other up, the situation grows mora
complicated. If my gallery hadn't been
up several stories I should haye Jumped
out the window, for I did some tall
cllmtilng moro than oncp whl)p their
dogshlps remained. Wo would Just
nbout get them In a good position with!

there would bo a wild syrlng, and all
threo would be in a heap moro or lefcs

the most Infernal racket you ever heard
In your life. Such roars and bellowing
as they set up! You could hear tho

girls In tho printing room locked tho
doors, Jumped Into a closet and waited,
with their hands over their ears, for
the announcement to como view tho

I was making an artistic group of my
self with tho aid of the properties, for
I 'cllm' up, as tho boyo say, a pleco

refuges In various portions of tho

I finally told tho dogs' friends that tho

they would bo taken, or not at all, for
this f-ort of life was killing me. Tho
photograph wasn't what you would call
a peaceful one. Tho dog on tho right
was showing all tho teeth supposed to
bo allotted a canlno and tho one at tho
farther side had Just grubbed the next
one In. a meaty pliio on his back. But
the photograph was taken and they all
rolled down stairs ono after another
