Many people realize that it is impossible now-a-days to procure old-fashioned leaf lard. They demand something better than the modern stock-yards product. The New Vegetable Shortening fully supplies that demand. It is clean, delicate, healthful and eco- Momical. Ask your grocer for the genuine COTTOLENE. Made only by N. K.

The Louisvilles defeated St. Louis in an exciting eleven-inning game yesterday. It was characterized by generally brilliant fielding and hard hitting. Glasscock and Gleason lost the game for St. Louis in the last inning. The work of Weaver, Dowd and Bannon was especially fine. Score, 8 to 5. ‘The Reds fell on Pitcher Mauck in the first inning at Cincinnati yesterday, and on three singles, a double, two triples and one error scored seven runs.

Winners of the Various Events on the Ap- pomattox Saturday. ‘The state regatta, under the auspices of the Virginia Association of Amateur Oarsmen, took place on the Appomattox river two miles below Petersburg Saturday afternoon, and was wit- nessed by over 1,500 spectators, who went down on schooners, tugs and barges. The first race was for single shells, mile aud ahalf, and was rowed by R. Butler Mahone of the Appomattox Club of Petersburg and James Armstrong Welsh of the Virginia Boat Club of Richmond. This race was won by Welsh by two lengths. ‘The next was a junior gig race, three-quarters of a mile, between crews from the Appomattox Club and Virginia Club. ‘This race was won by the Appomattox crew in half a length, and was the prettiest race of the regatta. ‘The most important race was the senior four- cared gig race, which was participated in by crews from the Appomattox Club, the Virginia Club and the Richmond College Club. This race was for the French silver cup, and was won by the Richmond College Clab by one length. The Virginia Club of Richmond was second. This cup has been held by the college club for the past two years. The prizes were presented to the winning crews Saturday night ‘at the Petersburg Grays’ armory by United States District Attorney Francis R. Lassiter. The presentation of the prizes was followed by grand reception and ball. CORNELL'S CREW. The Ithaca Carsmen Are in Magnificent Form for Their Race. The Cornell crew, now at Lake Minnetonka, Minn., is in perfect form, and all the rumors to the contrary that drifted from Ithaca down upon the trusting Quakers were simply the production of Charlie Courtney's foxy brain. From the moment the Ithacans launched their aluminum boat last Tuesday and caught the water for the first time in dead earnest every western spectator who knows anything about rowing bas pronounced them the greatest eight ever in a shell. Their form is simply marvelous and speed almost incredible. They cut and way in the water and daily ran their stroke up to thirty-six per minute and give every evidence that they can keep it up for four miles. ‘The Pennsylvanians are making very fast time. although their form is anything but satis- factory. The greatest trouble at the present time is in ragged blade work. Coach Woodruff has been furnished with steam launch for coaching purposes, a luxury unknown to him in Philadelphia, and through watching the | crew in this he has been able to discover and | correct several faults which before had escaped his notice, a leading one, for instance, being that six and seven did not swing up with eight. ‘This has been corrected. ‘The Cornell crew will probably use thealum- inum shell in the race, as Capt. Barr admitted Yesterday that the new metal had a record only known to Conch Courtney and himself, which would create a great sensation if known. If the sea runs high,however, on July 8, the old paper shell will be placed’ in the water. This is the boat with which the ‘91 crew made the world's record for three miles at New Lon- jon.

Zimmerman, the champion whoelman of America, arrrived on tho steamer Paris Saturday. His father, a big crowd of admirers from his home, Asbury Park, and a score of wheelmen were on the pier to welcome him home from England. “I am disgusted with the treatment I received in England,” he said toareporter. “The refusal of the National Cycling Union, the racing body of England, to give me a license to compete in the champion- ship events was thorougly unsportsmanlike. ‘They gave me a provisional license, prohibiting me from riding @ certain wheel in which I am interested. “This license expired on June 7, and when they refused to renew it, I decided to come home. I have a bunch ‘of letters and tele- gramsfrom prominent English wheel clubs, of- fering to run races without the sanction of’ the union if I would remain in England and com- te. PereThis I declined to do, because I went to Englaud for the championship. I competed in ten events, nine scratch and one handicap, and won all ten. Sanger was in tiptop shape. I am not surprised he had broken reccrds. English records are easy to break. If Osmond he may have a chance at the world’s fair meet.” TO DEFEND THE CUP. The Four Yachts Built to Race Against the Valkyrie. ‘The four cup defenders have been launched. In money they will in the end stana the books as having ‘cost $375,000 or more, while nine months or more will have been consumed in their building, fitting out and trials, In design and type the four cup defenders bear distinctive marks. There aro the keel, the centerboard, the fin keel and the “ballast fin centerboard.” The Colonia, which stands in the name of Mr. Archibald Rogers, is the out- and-out keel representative of the defending quartet. She was the firstof the four or- dered. In model the Colonia is a big Wasp, with which beat Mr. Rogers made a championship record mark last year, and with her success or failure the Herreshoffs are alone responsible. “Sake me the fastest boat you can,” was Mr. Rogers’ order, and not being hampered in the least the Colonia, which is of steel, is the answer of the Bristol firm. She is a powerful craft and with a large proportion of her enor- mous quantity of lead bolted outside on the keel her stability need not be questioned. Then she hasa great deal of beam,allof which gives her a sail-earrying capacity of such a nature as will open the eves of even the more advanced of modern yachtsmen. Next in order of construction and launching is the Morgan-Iselin boat. She has been named Vigilante and is the centerboard representa- tive of the quartet. She is the widest of the four and has her lead pinced inside. Her hull is of Tobin bronze up to the top stake,which is of steel, and the upper body plate has been burnished to the polished smoothness of a mir- ror. The sail plan of the Vigilante is the largest of the boats. She will carry the boom made for the schooner Constellation, which was formerly Capt. Morgan's proverty. and this stick was about 100 feet long, and, it is said, has not been shortened a great deal. Capt. William Hansen is the Vigilante’s ekipper and he has had his crew engaged and in training i iatter part of April ou the schooner which was started by Mr. C. the purpose. ‘The Boston syndicate boat Pilgrim in the matter of launching comes third, but she has only just received her fin keel, which is of the radical order. Speed is the one consideration which has been sought for in this vessel, and #0 the extreme draught allowed bas been resorted to that there might be a lessening of the weight of lead necessary to give her sufiicient stability to carry her rig. She has a smali centerboard forward to aid in the steerage. Her hull is of five feet draught only, but the fin is seventeen feet six inches deep below the bull, making the treme draught twenty-two feet six inches. ‘apt. Edward Sherlock, late of fhe racing schooner Marguerite, will be in charge, and he Lastly, Gen. Peine's Jubilee demands con- sideration. She is unique and for wantof a better name has been called a “ballast fin centerboard.” ‘The , general gives the credit of her design to his son, John T. Paine. Her hull has a draught of 4 feet 6 inches, while the fin is 9 feet deep, giving a total draught of 13 feet 6 inches. At the bottom of the fin are about ve tons of lead. Forward of the fin is ‘small centerboard to steady her in steering. Capt. John Barr will have charge of the Jubi- lee, and it shows what the whirligig of time will do, as Barr was skipper of the Thistle when she was beaten by the Volunteer for the cup in 1887. with: ‘The other dimensions are given here- Over all. length.

Cushing’s brown colt Boundless, “Snapper” Garrison in the saddle, in the remarkable time of 2.36 flat, thus beating the previous best time for the Derby of 2.3634. The Keene colt, St. Leonards, with Taral up, finished second, three lengths behind, and the much-touted Clifford captured third monoy. It was tho greatest Derby ever run in this coun- try, and the honors belong mostly to Garrison, who rode the race of his life. Fully 75,000 people, crushed and jammed into almost a com- pact mars, screamed with excitement at the conclusion of the event. ‘There was a delay of one hour and thirteen minutes at the starting post, and this probably affected the time. Amateur Base Ball. The bank clerks’ nine won their fifth consecu- tive e on Saturday by defeating the George- town College Reserves by 13 to 6. The feature of the game was the home run of Leet of the winning side. The Young Nationals defeated the O'Rourkes yesterday by 13 to 1. Chailenges for the win- ners from all clubs whose members are fourteen years old will be received by J. Blakenoy, 1717 6th street. Female Walking Matches Consolidated. The score of the pedestrians at Kernan's Lyceum a: midnight Saturday night was as follow Mlle. Arnett, 137 miles 17 lnps; Jennio Fraser, 179 miles 10 laps; Nora Evans, 170 miles 8 laps; ‘Alice Robson, 167 miles 9 laps; Frankie Flem: ing, 151 mites 5 laps; May Hamilton, 47 miles (withdrawn). i ‘The score made by the Baltimore pedestrians, who will continue their race here,was as follows: Aggie Harvey, 187 miles; Rose Tremont, 168 miles 5 lape; M. Hewitt, 163 miles 1 lap; Little Wonder, 167 miles 21 laps. The consolidation of these two 72-hour con- tests. together with the aquatic exhibitions of Miss Clara Beckwith, who will bid farewell to Washington after this week, is calculated to afford truly good sport. 1| champion was ‘not in.” WON ALL THE RACES. ‘Washington Wheelmen Surprised the Roa- noke Cyclists.

Corbett Drawing the Line. “Gentleman Jim” Corbett,who,with hfs wife, isensconsed in asuite at the Grand Paeific Hotel in Chicago, has been affected with exclu- | p, siveness, Corbett has grown discriminating in the matter of receiving.

BOOTH’S FIGHT WITH LIQUOR. The Great Actor's Strong and Life-Long Struggle Against the Appotite. ‘From an Interview in San Francisco Examiner: “Liquor had been his father’s curse. | It was his enticement and his martyrdom. His heroic struggle against the appetite endeared him more and more to those who knew hiin best. He would come to my table—ho was the god-| hay father of my child, you know—and men like Edwin Adams and myself would be there with our wine before us. We'd say: ‘Ed, it's too bad, old man, you can’t join us.” “Oh, 'don't mind me,’ he'd reply. ‘I only regret I dare not, I dare not—I dare not!" “I remember once a leading painter who lived in Brooklyn gave a grand fete cbampotre, which was romanesque in its prodigality.

Afterward he said t® me: “‘T suppose those people said, “We met Ted Booth down in the grounds, playing Hamlet.” But if I'd gona back I might have been the merriest of all for an hour—perhaps as bright asany.

But then he turned—and, ab, he played Hamlet that mght as it was never played before!” FAVORS A LAW OF ENTAIL, Secretary Morton Believes in Cultivating = Love of Rural Life. Secretary Morton spoke in the auditorium at | has Asbury Park yesterday afternoon on “The Es- tablishment and Maintenance of Homes Throughout the Country,” and suggested that men of intellectuality and wealth could not bet- ter use their time and money than in helping the poor to get homes, claiming that such char- ity was not only the best for the interests of the poor workingman, but for the country at large. Home is the unit of the state, he said, and every child that is taught to love its home is given a solid foundation for patriotism, for those who love their homes will fight for them and thus be firm and true citizens, “We have no great men,” he said, “who have not been associated with permanent homes. We think of our Washington's Mount Vernon and the beautiful log cabin home of our mar- tyred Lincoln.” In the cities the teeming thousands suffering privations, he said, were a potent factor in the dissemination of anarchistic theo: open country patriotism had a cl and the generations of youth bued with a strong lo happy homes were a n: ir. Morton declared himself in favor of “the entailment of government lands as an induce- ment to the American for a cultivation of that love of country for which the English people ‘are so justly renowned."” gine | Strange Suicide at Quincy, Il. Edward H. Todd, nephew and partner of E. M. Miller, in the omnibus and tally-ho manu- facturing business, and one of the most promi- nent citizens of Quincy, Ill, committed suicide yesterday by blowing out his brains in his bachelor apartments in the Newcomb House. He arrived from Chicago at 2 o'clock yesterday morning and went to his rooms, At noon the chambermaid found him seated in a chair dead, with a pistol lying by his side. Ho left no word or note of any kind. He was pros- perous and in the best of health and had no embarrassing ties whatever so far as his friends knew. He was about forty-five years of age and was one of the prominent Masons of the state. He was known all over the country as the business representative of the big firm of E. M. Miller & Co. se Rev. Wilton Smith Explal The Rev. Wilton M. Smith, pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church of New York, be- fore preaching his regular Sunday morning sermon said: “I desire to contradict reports regarding the remarks which it is said I have made, and I will say that I do believe in liberty and toleration, but, regarding the Briggs mat- it is my opinion that it has been settled by presbytery and the decision should be abided by. Tsay this in my own defense, for words have been attributed to me that I never uttered.” In his sermon Mr. Smith said: “We of doubt; people do not believe as strongly they ought to. A short creed thoroughly believed in is better than along one not thor- oughly believed in.” He advised his hearers to put their religion through to the test of experience. It 1s a sure way to find out what there isin it, and if one finds comfort and blessing im his’ religion he tnust be convinced that it is the word of God. aay Fastern High School.

W.Coit, after having passed her searching inspection with flying colors, opened up the Notley Hall route yesterday. It was a successful occasion. The patrons were pleased and the management is gratified. Thirty thousand doliars have been spent on the grounds and buildings, and ,s the amount ex- \ded implies, they are exceedingly handsome. he aim of the managers is to provide the Potomac with a high-grade resort for colored people. From the number of charters which eben already made the outlook is bright. Mr. Maurice Fitzgerald is the lessee of the excursion line, Mr. O. 8. Thompson is the lessee of the Washington wharf and Capt. Plass is the chief of transportation. An agent is on hand at the Washington dock. The captain of the Coit is Capt. Plass; the pilot, Mr. Richardson, and the engineer, John White. Mr. William E. Beagle, for ‘several seasons with the Mount Vernon and Marshall Hall Steamboat Company, resigned to sign with the Notley Hall Com- pany. Mra. Monroe Salisbury, wife of Mr. Salisbury, the California racing man and stockholder in the Mount Vernon and Marshall Hall Company, accompanied by Miss Katherine Salisbury, Misa Marguerite Salisbury and a niece, will arrive at the Shoreham this evening and be the guests of Col. and Mrs. McKibben at the hall tomor- row. Superintendent 8. C. Ramage received a dispatch this morning from Mrs. Salisbury ask- ing him to meet her at the train. Grace M. E. and Trinity Sunday schools are at Marshal Hall today. Mr. Walter Richie, the well-known theatrical main, bys signed with the River View manage- ment as stage director. a BUGS THAT BITE, Some Cases of Poisoning That Are Decidedly Mysterious, “The cases of severe poisoning by insect bites which have appeared in Washington lately are decidedly mysterious,” said a government entomologist toa Stan reporter. ‘There is a kind of fly, scarcely distinguishable from the common house fly, which infests stables. It bites as the musca domestica never does. It is easy to conceive that its bite might be dangerous under certain condi- tions. For example, suppose that it should bite a horse that was diseased with glanders and that immediately afterward it should attack a human being. Tho latter might easily con- tract the complaint, which in human beings is one of the most horrible known. “Though for some time it was disputed, the ordinary house fly has come to be well recog- nized as an agent for conveying diseases. ‘The same is alleged of the mosquito, particu- larly in respect to yellow fever, but the charge has not been proved. Doubiless other insects help to spread contagious ailments. The patients treated lately in the hospitals for supposed fly bites aro so positive in their testimony as to the cause of the trouble that there seems to be no reason for doubting that some sort of fly was responsible. For in- stance, one truck driver saw the fly bite his hand, which swelled greatly immediately after. It would be most desirable to find out just what species did the mischief. “There is plenty of room for mistakes in such matters. People often wake up with swellings on their faces or other parts of their bodies, which are supposed to be due to spider bites, It ie true that all spiders are poisonous. Nev- ertheless, I believe that most of theso bites aro inflicted by an insect nearly related to the bed bug, which is often found in houses. Its bite is very irritating.” a Gone to Chicago. W. RB. Stinemetz, son of B. H. Stinemetz, who has just graduated at Lehigh University as an electrical engineer, has gone to Chicago to accept a position with the Chicago Telephone Company. age Trouble in V Saturday night burglars entered the office of Chas. Werner's wood and coal yard, corner of 6th and K streets, and attempted to rob the safe. They knocked off the hinges and knob and cut a bole in the safe, but did not succeed in opening it. Their trouble was in vain. Steuer ns Fined for the Pistol.

How the Yucca and a Moth Depend on Each Other for Existence. At this season the parks of Washington are abloom with the loveliest of summer flowers— the yuccas, which uplift tall spikes, sustaining great clusters of bell-shaped blossoms. There is a story to be told about these blooms. It isa romance, in which the marriage of the flowers is accomplished by a creature of the in- sect world that plays the role of Cupid. With- out the friendly aid of alittle moth, the blos- soms must all grow up in a state of celibacy and die bachelors and old maids. In fact, all of these flowers which are seen in this region are doomed to perish without pro- ducing offspring. Tho moth does not live in this latitude, because it is too cold. Accord- ingly, the plants produce no fruit pods; they bear no seeds, and new ones can only be got by obtaining seeds from farther south or by an artificial process. fertilization; without their aid they could not revroduce their kind. The yucca is obliged to rely ona single species of moth, which in its turn would quickly become extinct if it were .- | Not for the plant. Neither of the two could get along at all without the other. If you will look inside the bell of one of th yucca blossoms you will finda central “stigma” surrounded by several “anthera.” The latter bear the pollen, which must be introduced into the tube of the stigma in order to fertilize the flower and produce the fruit, which isa pod containing seeds. But the structure of the flower is such, the anthera being much shorter than the stigma, that this cannot be accom- plished save by artificial aid. That is where the moth gots in its work. Atany time in the day, by looking carefally, ‘one may find one or more of the moths resting within the half-closed flowers, It is necessary toexamine carefully, because the insects are hidden by the likeness of their coloring to that of the blossom. If one visits the plants after “the garish day Has sped on his wheels of light away,” and when the yucca sends forth its perfume more strongly upon the night air, it ible to discover the same moth flitting swiftly from flower to flower and from plant to plant. It is mont usually the male thet is thus found flying, while the female is busy at work among the blossoms. He can afford to amuse himself during the few brief days of life remaining to him, but she is charged with a double duty and loges little time in its performance. Before she can carry out the maternal task of continuing her race she must act as foster mother to the plant. ‘This 1s absolutely neces- sary from her point of view, because her young must feed on ite seeds and can live on nothing else. By means of an organ formed expressly for the -—_—purpose, collects the pollen from _the anthers in big pellets, Laden with amass of it she alights upon the stigma and thrusts the ollen into the tube, thus fertilizjng the flower. Tien sho lays tome of her eggs in the tube of the stigma, and flies away to repeat the opera- tion on other blossoms, ‘Thus fertilized, the flower soon drope ite tals and a pod begins to grow. Je of Pod are sachet somo of the latter are found on examination to contain young worme, ¥! are the larve of the moth. Ther feed ‘on the contents of the seeds. Each pod holds 200 or more seeds,but only some of them have worms, wo that there are plenty left to reproduce the plant. A few of the pods have no larve in them, which would seem to show that the in- sect docs not always lay her eggs in the tube of the stigma after poking the pollen into it. When it is full grown the worm a hole through the pod and makes « silken string, by which it drops safely to the ground. It burrows a few inches below the surface and builds an oval cocoon of earth, lined on tho inside with mlk. Thus ensconsed it re- mains through the autumn, winter and spring. Summer comes, and as soon as the yuccas have begun to bloom the larve is transformed into a moth. After flring about to seek a mate it lays its eggs, if a female, in the manner already de- scribed, and thus the cycle of its existence is completed. The only natural enemies of the worm are ante, which often get into the pods and devour the larrm. Such is the wonderful means by which the yneea plant is reproduced. ‘The flowers can be | fertilized by artificinl means, but this is rather laborious, and the little moth does it ever so much better. On the whole, no more astonish- ing instance is known of mutual interdepend- ence between animal and plant, each having to rely upon the other for the Ferpetuation of its species, a ‘The President's Yacht.
