CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF
PINEHURST.TTc March 24.-A

United North and Sooth amateur golf
championship for women. The tour

and will be followed next week by the
annual championship event for men.
Marcn rne im
portant changes recently announced
oy trie Admiralty, and which have
come m for much adverse criticism
from the press and public alike, were
put into effect today. The so-called
Channel Fleet is most affected bv the
changes. Heretofore this fleet, under
the command of Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford, has been regarded
as the chief fighting unit of the first
line of Great Britain'a naval force.
Xow the more important vessels of
the Channel Fleet, under the com
mand of Vice Admiral Sir Archibald
Berkeley Milne, are to form the sec
ond division of the main fleet, under
supreme command of Vice Admiral
Sir Willian H. May.
This means the practical retire
ment from the aervice of Admiral
Lord Chaaks Beresford, who in the
orlinary course would have held the
Channel command for another year.
His premature retirement, it is openly
hinted, is due to his severe criticisms
of the management of the navy when
he was a member of Parliment. The
public has been accustomed to regard
Lord Beresford as one of the most
capable officers in the British navr.
He has been in the service fifty years,
and his chief fame was gained at the
ime of the bombardment of Alexand
ria and in the operations in connec
tion with Lord Wolseley's Egyptian
campaign.

GRUESOME MYSTERY
CHICAGO, March 24.-The find

From the appearance of the skele

INSURANCE FOR WIDOWS
BERLIN, March 24-The propos
ed reform of workmen's insurance
scheme the Government is about to
lay before the Reichstag provides for
the insurance of widows and orphans,
which will be joined to the already
existing old-age insurance. The plan
is, like the old-age insurance, contri
butory, the employer and employee
each paying half the costs, the Gov
ernment adding fifty marks to each
widow's pension and thirty to each
orphan's.
The result of the new scheme will
be to increase the amount of work-
n's insurance contributions by 30
to 40 per cent. In order to give the
insured persons some share in the
control of the system, the pensions
will be fixed by local insurance offices
composed of employers and em
ployees under the presidency of an
official who is an expert insurance
actuary.
That less bird blood will be shed to

mers of this state are rising to de
mand protection for their feathered
crop guards. After their pilgrimage
to Albany to block the Francis bill for
the preservation of these insect-eaters
the dealers in the scalps of slaughter
ed birds have returned to town sadly
shaken in the idea that their business
is more important than the crops and
oods of the, whole state. They
heard the Audubon workers prove
that only the full protection assured
by this measure would keep alive
enough birds to fight off the deadly
moth plague that has already laid
low millions of dollars worth of Mas
sachusetts agriculture. The head of
the state grange has also read them a
lesson in the rights of the farmer as
against the feather seller, which is
sinking deep into the minds of the
milliners to-day. Altogether New
York City is about persuaded that it
can spare a few hat plumes to save
the agricultural wealth of the Empire
State. "

Opt. Green is one of the best
known railrorad men in America,
Shortly after the close of the civil
war he entered the service of the
Pennsylvania company as private
secretary to Col. Thomas A. Scott,
then first vice-president of the comp
any. in ijsco he became secretary
and treasurer of the Milwaukee and
Minnesota Railway Company, a ser
vice in which he remained three years.
In 1$69 he resumed his position as
secretary to Colonel Scott, holding it
until 1874, when he was promoted as
sistant to the president. His next
promotion came in 1882, when he was
made fourth vice-president of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
Four years later he was elected third
vice-president, and in 1893. second
vice-president of the company, a posi
tion which gave him supervision over
the lines west of Pittsburg. Since
1897 he has been first vice-president
of the company.
It is anticipated that Charles E,
Pugh, the present second vice-presi
dent, will succeed Capt. Green. Sam
uel Rea, the present third vice-presi
dent, will then get the place now oc
cupied by Mr. Pugh, and John B-
Thayer, now fourth vice-president
will move up.
Capt Green probably will continue
to be president of the Delaware rail
road and will be connected with other
subsidiary companies in the Pennsyl-
suggestton of creating for him the
position of chairman of the board.
