pers and silk stockings are of the most ap-
proved sort, her caperings around the room af-
ter moth are always senselesS and frequently
are rude, and when your argument is ended
she will only smile affably and remain uncon-
WINGED. And, if occasion offers, she will fall
to hunting the moth then and there.
And does lovely woman ever catch the moth?
Well, that is rather delicate question. Per-
observing the phenomena of moth-hunuing as
it is conducted by the gentle sex, and we must
confess that never yet have we known moth
hunt to end in way that'the most ill-tempered
moth could object to. Our observation is to
the effect that the moth highly enjoys the
whole performance-being at heart a merry
little insect, full of activity, and with an in
tensely keen appreciation of a practical joke.
That he regards the tricks which he plays on
lovely woman as practical jokes of the most
laughable description does not admit of a mo-
ment's doubt. His view of the chase seems to
be that it amuses her and does not harm him,
and is rather good fun all around. This is the
result, as we say, of our own personal investi-
heavens best gifts to man that the number of
moths captured and Slaughtered annually by
lovely woman fairly rivals the tens of thou
sands slain by the late King David. Contra
diction, of course, is impossible, and we can
only feel a mild regret tempered by gentle
surprise, that our experiences have been uni
formly in the nature of exceptions to this al
legged general rule and in dreamy way that
the wife of Ananias was named Sapphira.

THE COLLEGE RACE.
Yale Carries Off the Prize
HER FIRST VICTORY FOR
YEARS.
A Sad Accident at the Race.
PRESIDENT LINCOLN OF THE BOS.
TON & ALBANY KILLED.

New LONDON, July 1.-For the first time in
university race since 1876 the blue flag of
Yale dropped first at the finish, her crew win
ming by eight lengths in "a minutes and 27
seconds. The weather was fine with cooling
breeze from the Southwest Until noon there
crowds began to arrive but not to the same
extent as last year. The hotels and restaurants
were much disappointed. The river was well
filled with yachts decorated with flags and
many steam yachts and tugs were present.
t7.O6 the two crews were in line, and in a
few seconds word was given. Again both
crews took water together, the Harvards at 80
strokes and Yale at Al. But Harvard did not
so readily take the lead this time, in fact, Yale
with a terrific squirt forged ahead almost at
once to the front. Harvard responded to this
with another, but it was of no avail, for the
Blue held its own and sped on towards the first
half a mile flag with nearly length lead
From thence on her gain was gradual but none
the less sure.
Harvard acted as though there was trouble
in her boat and man began to row unsteadi-
Up. The second mile was entered in 12055
with Yale two lengths ahead. From this
point Yale did her best work.
Nothing has been seen on the Thames river
that excelled the splendid work done by the
Yales upon their approach to the third mile
flag. The third mile was in 1926 with Yale
six lengths ahead Yale still kept up her
powerful stroke apparently as fresh as at the
start and in a few moments shot past the
finish eight lengths ahead. Official time was
Yale Pam. 27s, Harvards 25m. O9s.
A sad occurrence of the day was an accident
on the Northern Railroad, and which resulted
in the death of President F. W. Lincoln of the
Boston & Albany railroad, and Mrs. Dr. APP
pletOn of Boston. Mr. Lincoln and Mrs. APP
pleton were seated on the rear platform of the
private car of Mr.. Lincoln, attached to the
moving grand stand, watching the race. The
car was next to the forward engine of the
train. Soon after the train started coupling
pin connecting the private car with the plat
form car in the rear, broke and the forward
engine released of the heavy weight it was
carrying, shot rapidly ahead. The shock
threw Mr.. Lincoln and Mrs. Appleton upon
the rails forward of the wheels and the plat
form Car passed over the lady and gentleman
crushing them terribly. Mrs. Appleton died
within 10 or 20 minutes after the accident
while Mr.. Lincoln lived nearly an hour. A
boy was injured at the same time, but not Sc
riously.

President Hayes Indebted to Yale for
His Policy.

NEW HAVEN, July 1.-At the Yale alumni
meeting this afternoon President Hayes in the
course of a speech said:
There is no doubt but that every admins
tration this country has known, has been in
debted to great extent to Yale College. You
will perhaps recall the exciting events of four
years ago during the embarrassing period
which INTERVIEWED between the election and
decision as to who should be the incumbent of
the Presidential chair. When thought the
responsibility might devolve upon my shoulders
my first thought was what is the paramount
duty shall have to perform and how can it
best be done. 1t seemed to me that the pacifi-
cation of the country was the first duty ZAP
plause.) 1 thought might find in the South
some men of the highest character who had
been against me through long and bitter
struggle and who therefore had the entire con-
idence of the Southern people. found no
great political leader suggesting that this
course might possibly lead to a solution of the
difficulties While l was bordering what
course to pursue there came to me like a flash
from clear sky the thought of Yale and of
her venerable President. (Applause.)

the true key to the situation. (Long con-
tinued applause.) He was also indebted to
Yale for Clarence King and Gen. Walker.

Probable Abdication of the Gear

Probable Abdication of the Gear.
1t is considered probable at St. Petersburg
that the death Of the lamented Czarina will
ere long be followed by the abdication of the
Gar and his retirement into private life. Up
on the weary shoulders of this disappointed
and perplexed potentate the burden of respon-
sibility attached to his exalted position has for
many months exercised an all but intolerable
pressure. Shortly after the attempt made up
on his life by Solovieff, the Cars earnest wish
to resign his sceptre to the hands of his natu-
raj successor was successfully combated by his
near relatives. The terror and anxiety he has
experienced since he reluctantly consented to
forego that wish are, however, understood to
have produced SO depressing an effect upon his
health and spirits that, under the additional
excuse OF his recent bereav ement, he is about
to recur to his temporarily frustrated resolve.
His grief for the lost companion of his life and
mother of his children would be accepted by
his people as a better reason to incapacitate
him from attention to state affairs than dread
of assassination. In his retreat at Livadia he
enjoys some peace and safety, though the most
elaborate precautions for his safety are taken
even there, and it appears extremely improba-
BILE that he will again forsake that pleasant
abode to return to capital in which, for two
years past he has been subjected to countless
annoyances and humiliations.

The Chief Victim at a Wedding.

LONDON saturday REVIEW
No man remembers much about his own
wedding breakfast. An American who was
plucking live rooster was asked why the poor
creature did not scream. 81 guess he is too
much absorbed said the ruthless operator
In the same way man is 'too much absorb
ed'' to notice the details of a wedding break
fast at which he is the chief victim When
the ancient Aztecs had caught good looking
prisoner, they fattened him for year, allotted
tohim several of their fairest maidens, and ul-
timately led him, crowned with flowers, to the
altar. A happy people, conscious of the APP
proval of their gods, crowded round. Wreaths
were thrown, bouquets rained on the martyr.
the glad laughter of children arose, young men
and maidens flirted and frolicked The victim
was gently conducted to table of stone ON
which he was couched, and the highIpriest cut
out his heart with a flint knife In the midst
OF the general gaiety the feelings of the CEN
trail figure must have been sombre and concern
trated. He probably did not notice how the
girls were dressed, or share in the merriment
caused by the fact that the priest had put on
his hood insideiout, or had stumbled in the read
ing OF an impressive part of the service.
Nor is the bridegroom much more awake to
the nature of the wedding breakfast He sits
self-conscious, in glittering raiment and tight
new boots, observed by curious bridemaids,
in the midst of hostile people. Surely
mans brides relations are, even now, a hos
tile people. They are strange, they are criti-
cal, their words and ways CRATE on the nervesof
the doomed one. Among many other relics of
the savage period, speeches are made The
character of the BRIDES father is uncommonly
well known to the bridegroom, who loves him
as poet loves his publisher. Without him,
the bride, as without the publisher the book,
would have been impossible. But for weeks
and months this father has been the personifi-
cation OF mistrust hiding itself under the SEM
blance of genialty. The BRIDES brothers are
the young braves of the hostile tribe They
despise the bridegroom (and he knows it) be-
cause they can give him thirty at lawn tennis,
or because he is ignorant of the points of a
horse. Yet these are the people who make
speeches. No one is SO absorbed that the
dreary stupidity, the foolish, forid sentiment,
OF wedding speeches can escape his notice.
Meanwhile the bridegroom is preparing few
modest yet pathetic words of his own, and that
at a moment when the utmost resources of
profane swearing would but family express his
real state of mind.
Truly, it were easier to face firing party
than wedding breakfast party played out in
strict accordance with the rules of the game.
