Playing behind a pitcher who developed a propensity to | shoot wide of the plate and to fracture | the ribs of batters, they won out a ten inning contest by slugging the sphere on | the seams, bold but heady base,running Wiggs Is Given a Warm Reception by Opposing Batsmen.

PORTLAND, Or., May 13.—At the Pas- time Club to-night Joe Gans, the colored lightweight of Baltimore, and Tom Tracey of Portland met in a contest which was scheduled to go twenty rounds. In the middle of the ninth round Tracey's sec- onds threw up the sponge, and Gans was declared the winner. Tracey was no match for the colored lad ana after the fourth round there was never a doubt about the result of the fight. Gans weighed 139 pounds, while Tracey | just reached the 140 mark.

An’interesting description has been pub- lished in a Vienna newspaper of a monas- tery at Sousdal, in the Russian province of Vladimir, which is used as a prison for priests and laymen who are guilty of re- ligious offenses. Prisoners are only sent to Sousdal by special decree of the Czar, who, however, accepts the advice of M. Pobiedonoszeff, the procurator of the holy synod of the Orthodox Greek Church. At present there are about 210 prisoners there, and they include two princes, one count, two barons, one general, four bishops, sixteen common soldiers, fifty- two officers, 124 priests and one shoemak- er. They are ‘treated with severity and undergo solitary confinement in gloomy cells. Many prisoners become insane after a brief period, while the weaker ones soon die from want of light, air and proper ‘nourishment. The prisoner most recently sentenced is a priest named Cvietkoff, and the offenses for which he was sent there are typical. Cvietkoff dis- puted the holy synod’s right to rule ab- solutely over the church as a whole, and advocated the formation of a council of clergy to advise and to a certain extent control the synod. This sufficed to bring about his sentence to life imprisonment at Sousdal—The London Express. —_—————— Power of the Mississippi. ‘When the great father of waters is at a flood tide, the big Mississippl is more powerful than the sea, and makes the great Gulf of Mexico take a back seat. Very few people will believe it save those who are familiar with such things, but according to the records of the river en- gineers the gulf waters are dominated by those of the Mississippl Riveér at flood time. The question has often been asked by persons of an Inquiring turn of mind, How far out into the gulf does the wa- ter of the Mississippl go? According to the records, one can at flood tide in the river drink fresh water from the sea fif- teen miles beyond the mouth. This seems strange, perhaps, but it is a fact. When the men were at work on the great Eads jetties it was common to see a man dip up a hat full of water from the sea and drink with relish. The force of the cur- rent and the volume of it carries the fresh water far into the gulf, and the river water being so much lighter than that of the gulf, it remains on the surface for a long time. The discoloration is no- ticeable for miles out to sea, and the de- marcation is as plain as that of the gulf stream.—Memphis Scimitar. 1! HUNDREDS FALL N THE BATTLE| IN DAMAGE SUIT) MOODY MERRIL Tetuan Against Rebels. Truce Is Declared to Permit Rival Forces to Bury Their Dead. MADRID, May 13.—A dispatch from Ceuta, Morocco, announces that the tribesmen who attacked Tetuan on Mon- day were repulsed. They stubbornly fought their way through the suburbs to the foot of the walls, but the imperial troops eventually regained their lost po- sitlons and drove off the rebels with heavy losses on both sides. A later dispatch from Ceuta says a courier who has arrived there by sea from Tetuan says that the battle was suspend- ed in order to allow the opposing forces to bury thelr dead, numbering 300. Many heads are displayed on the walls of Te- tuan, which city still has three days’ sup- ply of ammunition. Advices from Tangler announce that the imperial forces have routed the rebel mountaineers near Fez, inflicting great losses on the enemy.

A number of eminent educators have been recently advocating the shortening of the college course. President Eliot of Harvard believes that the period might well be reduced from four years to three, and President Hadley of Yale agrees with this view. Some would even cut the pe- riod down to two years for a certain class of students and certain degrees. Presi- dent Tucker of Dartmouth, whose com- manding place as a scholar every one concedes, stands by the four-year course. The point is one on which equally sincere and thoughtful men may honestly Ciffer. On the face of it, it would seem that with the vast increase in the circle of human knowledge in modern times, the great and important additions which modern investigation and research have made to almost every branch of learning, a length- ening of the period of collegiate study rather than otherwise is made necessary for all who would gain what In older times would have been regarded as a high standard of scholarship. Is here not a danger that we shall infuse a spirit of haste and superficiality into our schemes of education and thus miss that finer result of true culture which comes only of earnest application and deep and quiet thinking? The royal road to knowledge is not the place for automobiles.—Leslie's ‘Weekly. ——————— e Fan in History.

Greece was the first Euro- pean country to adopt the fan—two birds’ wings—one of its uses being by acolytes in the temples to drive away the flles from the sacrifice. It served the early Christians in the catacombs a similar purpose when the bread and wine was spread for the sacrament; & custom which lasted in the Roman Catholic Church to the fourteenth century. In this same century the fan made an almost simultaneous appearance through- out Italy and France, in England and Spain. Its most artistic fights have been achieved in France, but not even to France will Spain yield in its use of the fan as “an important weapon in the mimic warfare of coquetry and flirta- tion.” Whether the Spanish lady is in church or a place of amusement, whether visiting or walking, it is always in her hangs, frequently portraying the horrors of the bull fight. Corresponding with these, certain French Revolution fans represent Charlotte Corday carrying a dagger in one hand and a fan in the other. —Chicago News. ; coteed SR U Samuel Smiles the author, has just cel- ebrated his ninetieth birthday.

Lower Court Holds They Are Not Engaged in Inter- State Commerce. WASHINGTON, May 13.—A petlllon‘ | for a writ of certiorari in the case of | W. O. Johnson vs. the Southern Pacific | Railroad Company was docketed in the | United States Supreme Court to-day. The case involves the construction of | the act of 1893 requiring railroads en- | gaged In interstate commerce to equip | their cars with automatic couplers. | Johnson, while eoupling a locomotive to a dining-car, neither of which carried an automatic coupler, at Promontory, Utah, in 1900, was injured, and sued for dam- ages. Ths lower courts decided in favor of the raflroad, holding that dining cars standing on a switch and being moved by a freight engine are not '“cars en- gaged In interstate commerce.” Solicitor General Hoyt has filed a “suggestion” to court, asking that it take cognizance of the case on certiorarl, saying that “if it would be no violation of the statute for a carrier to haul an empty car not used to move interstate traffic from one erd of its railroad to the other it would follow that a dining- car in the course of a trip from Ogden L i “It is sibmitted that the car in ques- | tion was regularly engaged in interstate | commerce; that no intention was mani- fested to take it out of that service; that, on the contrary, it was stopped for the purpose of being returned to San Francisco, and therefore was evident an intention to retain it in that service. | The construction placed upon the act by the Circuit Court of Appeals would lead to varying and conflicting State and | Federal authority of cars used in inter- | state commerce which might be stopped | temporarily while being detached from | or attached to an interstate train.” —_—————— TRAGICAL PASSING OF THE PASSENGER PIGEON Like the Bison, It Is Now Rare ‘Where Once Were Bil- lions. To him who knows the story of the pas. senger pigeon, this group of beautiful, grayish-brown birds with the iridescent golden sheen upon their throats, Is the | last word of a tragedy of animal life. America was once the land of the wild pigeon. Early American writers are full of references to it. Alexander Wilson, the father of American ornithology, estimat- | ed that a flock seen by him in 1803 con- | tained over 2,000,000 individuals. It | stretched from the horizon to the horizon, as far as the eye could see, and was over four hours passing a given point. He saw a nesting colony forty miles long and sev- eral miles in width. In 1506 Audubon saw schooners at the wharves in New York loaded, not in packages, but in bulk, with wild pigeons caught up the Hudson River and sold for a cent apiece. Up to 1560 the bird contin- ued fairly abundant. Then a frightful slaughter began to supply an increased food demand. Gun, pole, club, net and sulphur pot were employed. Thirty dozen birds were captured at one spring of the net. One man netted 50 dozen in one | day. In the nesting season trees were shaken or felled and wagon loads of squab taken nightly, droves of hogs belng turned in to utilize what the “hunters” had left. Wherever the distracted flocks appeared the slaughter began. At the last known large pigeon “nesting,” in 1878, a billlon birds were killed during the sea- eon. Like the bison, it was effectually exterminated, showing the terrible effi- clency of man when he sets out system- aticaly in pursuit of a lower species.

In the eclassic precincts of Cambridge, where the literary tradition of educztiom survives, the students have a richer slang than in American universities. A student is never “in” Cambridge, but al- ways “up.” If he is leaving college for a day or two, he will tell his friends that he is going “down.” The first person you encounter on entering your rooms is not your landlady. She is your ‘“bedder,” which is an abbrevation of “bedmaker. The custom of abbreviating words and adding the affix “‘er” {s universal at Cam- bridge. One does not go to ome's “lec- ture,” but one's “lecker.” Football (Rug- by or association) is, of course, as else- where, “footer” (rugger or socker). The early meal is always “brekker.” But there is also a purely varsity meal known as “brunch.” This takes place on Sun- day. It is a combination of breakfast and luncheon, and does duty for both. It is well to know that you do not “live” at Cambridge—you “keep.” You will be asked, “Where are you keeping?’ when friends inquire your address. If inside your college, you tell them that you “keep in coll.” You don't inquire i any one is “dining in hall,” but if they will “keep a hall.” You “keep a chapel,” and if you attend that of King’s Collegs you say you are going to eep a King's.™ Do not smoke a pipe, but “keep” one. If they are going to a theater, concert or meeting, it Is a case of “keeping.” A ‘stinks man” is one who is taking the natural science tripos.—New York Trib- une. h ave: Lee, DR.
