Chaplain Henry Masterman of the Lin- coln, Neb., Grand Army has.received an invitation to become a member of the Vic- toria Diamond Jubilee Association, which has been organized in Omaha for the en- dowment of eleemosynary institutions. Chaplain Masterman is probably the only man in America today who aftended the wedding of Queen Victoria as a guard of honor. He was lance corporal of the Sharpshooter Regiment, 2d Battalion, Rifle Brigade, commanded by Col. Sir George Brown. Chaplain Masterman was the youngest man in the regiment, just as he was the oldest in the 28th Iowa Volunteers during the war. He remembers the event, and speaks of the day as one of the hot- test he ever experienced. For five hours the regiment stood in the broiling sun. The troops were reviewed by the queen and Prince Albert after the wedding. Chaplain Masterman is now eighty-four years of age, but is heartier than many men at seventy.

Journal. ‘Three years ago a Portland man lost his pocket book that contained $300. The last he could remember of it was laying it upon | his bed. Last Sunday he read in a news- paper-the notice of the death of an oid friend, and this set him to thinking of his cbum. He went to the ctest, lifted the cover, and the first thing that met his gaze was the pocket book with the tact. now GLUTTONY’S PENALTY. Lives That Are Shortened by the Pleasures of the Table. From the American Medical-Surgical Bulletin. In spite of the warnings and commands of family physicians, in spite of the many examples of shortened ‘ives and lives of suffermg, men will yield. to the seductive- ness of tke pleasures of the table. The spectacle of. the man who overeats or who deliberately eats improper food is common enough, but rarely do we see as plain evi- dence of the admiration for the glutton which c rtain people possess as that which the daily papers some time ago afforded. A well-known boniface died at an age when he ought to have been enjoying robust and vigorous health. Some slight mention was made of his busiress ventures, of his daily life, of his reasoa for living. But all this Pert of his existence was immaterial and uninteresting. The great and praiseworthy features of his life seem to have been gas- tronumic feats and a general ability to eat and drirk enormously. He was Jauded as the prince of. bon vivants, the man who could eat a huge dinner and shortly there- after swaliow a brace of broited lobsters and a couple of- Welsh rarebits, washed down with copious libations of vintages or distillages or fermentages. During his last illness, when his physi- cians enjoined rest in bed and a scrupu- lously careful diet, we read that he was THE SMALL BOY'S PASTTIME He Steals Away From Home and Goes in Rules Prescribed by Police Depart- ment for Treatment in Cases of Partial Drowning. This is the season of the year when the small boy steals away from his home and “goes swimming,” and consequently it is the season when the police are frequently called upon to save the small boy from crownirg. Those who delight in the pas- time do not all go to the bathing beach, but many frequent the remote places along the creeks and branches, where there are,deep holes, and where the cold water frequently has the effeet of cramping them. Whea a boy goes down, there is a cry for assistance, and it frequently happens that a policeman is first to answer the call. For the guidance of the police, in such mat- ters, a former chief of police had embodied in the manual instructions concerning the treatment of cases of partial drowning. They are these: Rules to Follow. “If you reach the place of accident, ana recover the body within a reasonable time, set about at once to restore the patient, without waiting for a physician, or bring- ing the patient to the station, lest he should die on the way. Strip the body and rub it dry, then wrap it in hot blankets. Hold the body up, head and face down, for a few seconds, or lay it across a barrel or a bundle of clothing, so that the point of re- sistance is at the pit of the stomach, and by pressing upon the back for a few sec- onds you will be able to empty the stomach of much of the water it contains; then lay ing the bedy upon the hack, with a small amount of clothing under the head and shoulders, imitate natural respiration as follows: “Kneeling at the patient’s head, grasp the arms at the elbows, carry them first out- ward, then upward, till the hands are brought together above the head, keep them there for two seconds, and then bring them slowly to the sides of the chest, press- ing moderately against the latter for a few seconds. This is to be repeated about fif- teen times a minute until the patient makes efforts himself or a physician arrives; at the same time an assistant must draw the tongue out of the mouth with a dry cloth and hold it drawn out and down. This methcd is also applicable in cases of as- phyxia from deleterious gases, from hang- ing, and in cases of poisoning where res- Piraticn stops while you are present.” Although it is yet early in the season, several fatal drowning cases have already occurred, and a number of narrow escapes have been reported. Victims of Heat. The manual also contained instructions for the treatment of victims of hot weather. Recently quite a number of persons have been taken sick in the street, several of them being victims of the hot weather. While the number of cases of sunstroke in this city is usually far below the number in most other cities, there are some victims of the heat, and when they are found on ee street quick action is necessary to save fe. In order to accomplish this the manuai provides for sunstroke casi ; srorere <e cases the following game enough to dress and go out. on the hotel porch to sit, winding up his impra- gence (and incidentally his life) with a hearty meal, in defiance of the medical di- rections. This last. piece of bravado was apparently considered by certain news- Paper reporters as an achievement fit to rank with a victory on the battlefield, and the glutton was admiringly mentioned as though be. were a. brilliant and fearless hero, risking bis life in a worthy cause. The newspapers were not creating a sen- timent, but merely catering to one already formed ir thus aiding gluttony.

THEOLD “GIT THAR” STROKE GOT THERE Advocates of Foreign and Imported Methods Cast Down. SCENES OF THE RACE ee Cornell won the university eight-oared shell race over the Hudson four-mile course, oppesite Poughkeepsie, yesterday afternoon. The official time was: Cornell, 20 minutes %4 seconds; Yaie, 20 minutes 44 seconds, and Harvard,.21 minutes flat. The race was the most magnificent and heart-breaking” struggle ever fought on American water, but the time was mor thar a minute slower than the official re erd of last year, credited to Corneil, whose figures were given at 19 minutes 29 seconds. Yale and Harvard men were heart»roken last night, but they made no excuses. They feel as if they had just cmerged from a nightmare. Their ideas of rowing of crews, of forin, of strokes and coaches, and | of theories have been turned upside down with a velocity and shattering force whose effects have not yet been fathomed. The Correll eight, featherweights in compari- son with the stalwart oars of Yale. with a stroke oar who weighed only 134 pounds and in the boat looked no bigger than a pint of circus peanuts, pulled four miles with wonderful ease and power, and all the Way rowed a slower stroke than either Yale or Harvard. These little men from Ithace, aversging only 158 pounds against the 168 of Harvard and the 171 of Yale, showed no signs of weakness after three miles of desperate racing and finished in such lusty shape that after trailing their oars past the finish flag they shook hands up and down the boat and then swung le rely down the river for half a mile to their float without a distress signal in evide After the trermenduus stra: of the strug- gle the Harvard oarsmen colixpsed, and stroke and bow fell fainting »a:kward and over the side of the peat. Marvin. the bow oar, even succumbed re the finish flag had been reached. ‘vhe Yale men gat straight and sullen, and after a couple of minutes paddled over to the landing stake without a man showing any effects of the four miles of the i battling seen in many years in a university boat race. Popular opinion had for the last few days left Cornell out of the reckoning for vic- tory. The stunning style in which Cornell put herself into the calculation has swept her rivals apparently off the face of the boating world, and the sporting prophet is getting measured for a summar suit of sackcloth and favors a iry shampoo of ashes. American Methods Wi! American methods and the American stroke have won against English methods and the English stroke 9s taught by Leh- mann at Harvard, and an imitatioa of Eng- lish methods as taught by Bob Cook at Yale. The American stroke, the stroke rowed by Pennsylvania, Columbia, Wis- consin and other rowing colleges, held its own. A long slide was shown to be better and less exhausting than a short slide and a great bending of the back. Mr. Leh- mann said the other day that barring a few individual faults Harva>d was rowing the English stroke. He also said that the Harvard crew was as good as the ordinary WY Seateetontne> Bros. & Co.’s >MAYER Not a day to spare if you want to profit by the sacrifices.

The race was half over, and Cornell, despite her lack of weight, was not weak- ening, while Harvard had begun to show their rudder and the gleaming signs of distress. The rate of stroke re- maine’ almost unchanged at the two miles, Yale and Harvard pulling each thirty-three and Corneil swinging her oar at thirty-two. Half a mile further on nearly a length of water gleamed between Cornell and Yale, aud, alas for the backers of the blue, it was all over but the shouting. The soaring railroad bridge marks the end of the third mile, and as the crews shct between the stone piers Cornell was easily in the lead, with three lengths to eee TW KW NNKW CARS spare, and gaspirg, despairing Harvard wallowing in the wake of Yale. The Last Mile. This last mile had been talked about and dreamed of for weeks. For experts had figured that in this crucial test the race would ve won and lost. It was the time when the crew that was behind would throw on the buckiing oars those last few points of strength and the remnant of nerve which had been stowed away for wy —_— 4 English university crew. With these re- marks in mind the friends of Cornell and American methods feei that yesterday's victory possesses more than ordinary sig- nificance. They feel that the oft-repeated sneer at American oarsmanship has heen proven unjust. Shortly after noon the stream of visitors began to eddy down the long hill to the ferry to cross the river and reach the ob- servation train on the other shore. . The day was suffocatingly hot, and the people who crossed the river deserved to see not only a good boat race, but to re- ceive a pension for life. The management of the observation train was as bad as the ferry service. The fifty cars which stretched for half a mile were so late in starting that if Yale had not been delayed in getting to her po- sition, the 4,000 spectators on board would have seen only the finish of the race. When this train was crowded with its wondrous freight of life and dancing color, the spectacle was very beautiful. Viewed along its length, it looked a rippling tor- rent of red and white and blue and crim- son. Below the bridge for a mile to the firish of the course was marshaled a flotilla of steam and sailing craft, whose masts and rigging fluttered gaily with flags of every color. Millions of dollars were represented in this beautiful assemblage of the finest yachts in American waters, and the flash- ing Hudson had never cradied so precious a burden of beauty and luxury. It was seen that conditions were favor- able, and with smooth water and sunny skies the great race would be on ehortly after the scheduled time of 3:30 o'clock. It was 3:40 before the train swept into view cf the three stake boats anchored above Krum’s Elbow. Harvard and Cor- nell had been ready to start on the minute, but the Yale crew did not leave their boat house until the time for starting, and so were fifteen minutes late in getting into their shell at the float just above the stake boats. The referee asked the two captains who were on time if they wished to start with- out waiting for Yale, as they were techni- The Start. Mr. Meickleham raised the megaphone and bellowed: “Are you ready?” He waited three seconds, which seemed like an install- ment of eternity, and then, like the report of a canton, came the shout, “Go.” ‘Three shells shot like arrows to the tre- tmendous jump of the racing start. It was i f i : s Fay i il the finish. Correll did not have to spurt. Still keeping her easy, graceful swing, with the stroke way down to thirty-two, her shell was shooting to the heave and swing of the eight backs, as if the race was in the first half mile. A shout went up from the Yale legions: “Here comes their spurt; see them pick it up; put up your stroke, Langford, you've got to beat them. Langford, whose rowing had been superb throughout, one of the finest strokes that ever sat in a Yale shell, respon order of Captain Bailey, and last ditch, showed the pluck which made’ her name synonymous with 4 perate finishes and a reputation fer ne giving in until the last stroke of a boat race or the last minute of a foot hal! game. The stroke went up from 34 to 36, and Uh shell crept half a length nearer to Cor and victory. But the leaders, keeping stroke down to 32, had so much power reserve and knew so exactly what th could do that they did not meet this death struggle of Yale except by yulling harder. The Finish. After Yale had made this gain she hung unalterably two lengths and a half in the rear, and thus the finish line was crossed and the race was won. While a hundred steam whistles were screeching in a hair- raising chorus, and the thunder of cannon was like that of an attacking fleet, the Harvard crew came staggering blindly down the lane, shrouded with smoke ané torn with the tumult. The crimson eight was dead, rowed to a standstill, and ex- hausted long before they came thus fa’ Seven lengths behind Cornell the poor lads came toward their stake boat and tried to finish in good order and dic & But courage has its limitations when wi and muscle have failed, and before Hai vard had passed the flag, Boardman, the stroke, and Marvin, the bow oar, fell over like dead men, and the Cambridge shell, trailing its oars like the wings of a wound- ed bird, drifted wearily past and siowly came to a standstill. The Defeated. The Harvard men were taken up to their quarters and had supper about 7 o'clock. It was a gloomy mecting when Mr. Leh- mann joined them, and seldom has there been so broken-hearted and crushed a set of athletes over the result of a university race. Mr. Lehmann made a little speech, in which he told the men that he was thor- oughly satisfied with the way they had worked, and with their loyalty to their universit to him. Of the
