and greater victory in the coming regatta at
ternatlOnal regatta on the Seine. SO far as the
regatta at Henley is concerned, there is reason
to fear that these plucky but eccentric oars
men are sailing under grave mSapprehen-
sion, for it is extremely unlikely that they will
be permitted to take part in it. In the frs
place, the race at Watkins was for money, and
although ais the managers have now de-
winners winners put simply to give it to a
the trip, II is doubtful whether this arrange
ment will satisfy the regatta committee at
Henley. But even ii the ShO-wae- cae- mettes
are admitted to be amateurs in this respect,
they are almost certain to be excluded on
other grounds The new definition of an am

an elabOr alton of detail that leaves no IOub t

the Sho-Wae-cae-mette or the BeaverWyek.
There Is even suspicion, which is probably
groundlesS, that exception may be taken even
tnat they once took part in regatta in which
one OF the contestants was after the race ad-
judged to be a professional. This rumor is as
we say, probably without foundation, but it in

Scramble for Moody and Sankey
Relics,

The Tabernacle Is TO be torn down immeli
ately, and the fixtures" the benches and the
chairs were announced to be sold this morn
ing at auction at IL O'Clock, and that there
would be private sale earlier in the day.
As soon as the building was opened this morn
ing an eager crowd of relic seekers invaded
the building and commenced to select the
chairs and benches they wanted. After the
services closed last evening a lady advanced
howard MIR. PentecOSt, and asked If she might
have the reading desk, on which had rested so
many times the Bibles of the reyivaliStS. She
was referred 10 one of the building committee,
and before the audience had all left the build.
ing the lady was the happy pOssessor of the
trophy she desired. Outside the tabernacle
this forenoon everything had the appearance
scriptiOn of vehicle could be seen standing in
front of the building, and before they left
were loaded down with benches or chairs
The members of the press who have report
ed the meeting were each remembered by Mr..
John q. North, the chairman of the committee
on printing and were each presented with the
chairs which they have used during the revival
meetings. The top of the reporters stand, on
which the writing was done, was torn off and
preserved by Mr.. North as a relic. The anx-
lety of the people to purchase benches at pri-
Sate sale was so great that the auction sale did
not amount TO much. although few benches
were sold by the auctiOneer, Mr.. Maltby He
offered the benches at so much piece, with
the privilege OF one or more, and the prices
ranged from - cents to 81. Some persons de-
sired the bench upon which they had sat
duTin most of the meetings, and paid 81 for
brought 60 cents each. Some of the
benches were sawed in two TO suit the
purchasers. There were some very funny
sights To be seen upon the streets. Boys, girls
men, and women could be seen Juggling home
big benches and little benches, pieces of the
rail about the speakers stand, and every CON
eeiyable object that they could get to preserve
as relic of the revival Young men were seen

REMARKABLE FACT ABOUT THE coNsrEL

REMARKABLE FACT ABOUT THE CoNsTELL4-
TION OF THE GREAT BEAR.
-. In the constellation of the Great Bear is the
the "Dipper,' composed of seven bright
stars, two of which are called the pointers, for
the reason that line drawn through them
would i al wa lntersect the pole star. which
the two called the pOinters). A writer in the
Hartford Times says:
There is something remarkable in the fact
that large group of stars in the northern
heavens, bearing no resemblance whatever to
Bear, should yet be so called and what is
still more remarkable is, that this great re-
gion OF stars should always have been known
by that name by all nations of the northern
hemisphere of the earth, however remotely
situated from each other, or to what
ever remote period we go Blackjack until
We become lost, without record or tradition.
and still wondering that the name and place
OF the constellation should yet be all aglOw in
that far, far, misty past.
Great physical changes on the earth's sur
lace undoubtedly have occurred in the res
that have gone, thereby separating and $50
lating nations that once knew each other.
Each nation after the catacySm occurred
probably kept its traditions, though it be-
came lost to its once neighboring peoples, and
thus we have probable reason why the
Aslatlc, the Egyptian and the American In
dian are ALL at the same time, familiar with
this northern constellation and its name
. The Great Bear is pictured on the old Egyp-
tan hemlSphereS as stately marching west
ward around the pole of the heavens and is
rectly over the home of the polar bears of the
earth. Was it intended to typify the region?
If then the Egyptian was familiar with the
home OF the animal Or was it some mirage,
projecting vast image of the animal UPON
those misty polar skies, that gave rise to the
thought Of placing it?
This constellation can be seen on any clear
night throughout the year, in this latitude,
except the stars located in the bears paws
Thousands of people have watched that part
OF it called the Dipper, and noticed its handle
far han nnin
around westwardly and then seen low on the
northern horizon, swinging around to the east.
