Ironmaster Sees a Score of Charms In the Game THE vacation q timber of the Io dependeut contains a charac teristic article by Andrew Car negie oo "Dr. Golf." The ar ticle la herewith reprinted In part, the ilmpllfled spelling being Mr. Carne gie's: The first golf club In the United States was organized at Tonkers Nov. 14. 1888. and named St. Andrews. Rob ert Lock hart of Yonkers, born In Dun fermline, Scotluud. wus often In bis na tlr town as buying member of bis firm, and there be lernt the ancient and roy al game. lie pu recant several dozens of clubs In Dunfermline and upon ar rival at Tonkers explained the game to his fellow crony Dunfermllnlte. Jack Reld, and a few others, who began ex perimenting In Reid's orchard, a larger field being afterward secured. Jack Reld was elected president of the club (Lockhart declining becaus be had to be abrond so mucin and John C. Ten Eycke.'of good Dutch stock, secretary, which he still remains. The game of golf In my young days was the preserv of the upper classes In Scotland, sure mark of the gentleman, arid a sickly plant south of the border. No lady was ever seen on the links. The charm of golf, who can analyze and decide In what It really consists? First, we need to use the plural. It has not one but a score of charms. We are under the sky, worshipers of the "god of the open air." Every . breth seems to drive away weakness and dts eas, securing for us longer terms of happy days here on earth, even bring ing something of heren here to us. No doctor like Dr. Golf-hls cures as mi raculous as those sometimes credited to Christian Science, minus its un known and mysterious agencies, which are calculated to alarm prudent people. Not the leaNf of its virtues is its power to affect the temper and especially the tung. We lmv only to remain silent to produce unusual results. The preveu tlv treatment successfully applied baa Its richest field upon the green. Stories of the Links. There was a pictur In Punch recent-!y-a caddy following a player is baild by the other caddies, "Where are you going. Sandy?" "I'm going to bear this gentleman play golf." Clev er lads, some ot the caddies! A real duffer of noble presence was on a prac tls game alone. Uepeatedly he bad foozled In his attempts to drive and finally exclalmd. "Well. 1 never foo zled like this before!" Caddie, ustou Isbt. "Your tumor has played before?" A cousin of mine made bis first trial one morning on 8k I bo links, and. as Is often the cane when taking it all easily and uot trying bard, he suc ceeded wonderfully. He could hardly wait for the morning game. We start ed and he foozled everything, and at last 1 herd exclamations and cald out to blm, "What nation.' Morrison?" lie replied apologetically, "1 know, 1 know, 1 felt it. but 1 didn't think 1 said It." We bav a celebrated profensor who was lost from site for a time. Ills caddie at last coming In site and being askt, "Where's the professor?" cald out, "lie's dowu among tho whins lalkln' to hlsscl'." Loud lafter! A deacon was reported as having re signed from his eldership In the kirk. Being askt why by his minister he ex plaiud that he hud either to resign or quit playing golf, aud ho knew he couldn't do that. A Skibo Celebrity. Sklbo links bav some celebrities whose first efforts at golf begun there. Frederic ilarrlsou bad been initiated oue morulug aud wus play lug bis first match. When he was foozling bis way to tho loug bole for some time 1 turnd round aud askt. "Uow many?" "Three," be replied. 1 had seen him mlRS frequently. After three and sev en had been ntflrmd by both several times, we proceeded to locate the strokes. After getting in a few "air strokes" In counting the seven Har rison exclalmd. "Oh. make It twenty If you count these; 1 only hit the ball three times!" There are games and games. Does a game make opponents closer and dearer to each other, or does It arouse 111 feeling and Jealousy and drive men apart aa rivals, even foes, each grudg ing the success of the other? We often henr accounts of the rivalries aroused by some of our games, foot ball especially! and very naturally so, playd, as It is with us, when men roll on the ground attemtlng to disable each other. The reverse Is the case with golf. Men become dearer friends than ever. The oftener they meet on the green the fonder they become of each other and the grenter the longing for their chum's sock-ty, and In after years. If separated, each warms as the name of the other Is mentioned and ends his panegyric with the ever .en trancing words, murmured with emo tion. "Ah, we playd golf together!" Short, simple. s'llhYlent! (Jolf glva us intervals for exchange f mutual thoughts which strengthen the ties be tween us. We rejoice to see that our chums are p'nyiiiK well and applaud their iiiccees. Wolf Is a same entire- DOCTOR, CARNEGIE Its Great Effect on the Temper and the Tongue ly free from fyslcal struggles over opponents the ineradicable root of evil in football Beauties of the Game. No game glvs so much of the open air, the elixir of life, from morning till nite. With a modest bite at luucbeon mayhap It can be playd without un due fatigue, even by elderly people, and then there's the few minutes' rest and the cbat at the green with your bosom crony. No delay impairs the game. Sit and moralize, drive off at your plesure, It's all the same. Another special feature of the grand game Is that, forgetting all other sub jects, attention must be concentrated upon It. This is what takes the cob webs out of the brulu. Hunger, thirst, cold or beut. business cures, sublime soarings all lake a back seat when the critical moment arrives and all de pends upon the lust put. I was a very late convert to the noble game of golf. Well do 1 remember laughing at the first attemts of some guests to drive wee balls Into wee holes In some parts of the park at Sklbo. One day a noted golfer and cup winner. Mr. Morrison, librarian. Edin burgh, came to me there all aglow, bis eyes sparkling, and announced in rapid accents, panting for breth, his remark able find. "Do you know you bav a natural golf course at the bottom or the park between the Loch and the Firth? Certain, no possible mistake. What a find!" And my friend awaited my reply in an attitude which see cud to express wonder that I had not faint ed at this startling discovery, this su preme gift of Providence which made Sklbo perfect, leaving nothing else to be desired. We bad to be careful not to shock our friend by seeming indif ference and did the best we could to conceal tbe latent smile. This was only eleven years ago. Morrison was told to work it up, and Skibo links is the result.

Overrules Plea of Defendant, Who la Accused of Having a Hand in the Destruction of the Lot Angeles Timet Newspaper Plant. Los Angeles, Cal., July 8. A prelim inary victory was won by the prosecu tion in the case of John J. McNamara, iecretary-trca8urer of the Interna tional Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, accused of connection with the Los Angeles limes dynamiting. Judge Walter Bordwell sustained the objection to the plea of no juruv Uction introduced In behalf of the al leged dynamite conspirator. Judge Bordwell said that the Los Angeles courts have Jurisdiction over the pend ing trial of McNamara on nineteen charges of murder. As to the allegations that extradi tion had been accomplished by irregu larities or what the defense termed "fraud." Judge Bordwell said it was not his province to enter Into the question of how a prisoner was brought into the Jurisdiction of his court, but to try him after his arrival there. It was agreed that the same ruling should apply to all pleas of no Jurisdiction. Replying to the question of the prosecution, If It so desired to have John J. McNamara plead to charges against him, the defense answered by filing motions to quash the indict ments, the motions being the same as those filed in the case of his brother, James B. McNamara, so far as the murder charges are concerned. The prosecution then moved that all affidavits filed with the motions to quash be stricken from the records. An objection to the court considering Che motion to quash also was made. Arguments were continued today. EDUCATORS FACE FIGHT Lively Mix Between Insurgents and Regulars at San Francisco.
