Messrs. Dan Cochran and John Ritz met
at Mr.. Sheekey's saloon, on Market street,
last night TO settle the race that had.been
made between Rftzand Hooper, of Pitts,
burgh. MI Cochran stated that 1t would
be impossible for Hooper to row, as he was
being treated by doctor every day, and
could not train for the race. Upon receiv-
ing the statement, Mr.. Ritz very courteous
ly offered to draw the money and consider
the race off for the present, as, he stated,
he did not want sick mans money, but
wanted TO row Hooper, and see who really
was the fastest man. Mr.. Cochran very
gladly accepted the offer, and hopes that
the race can be made at future date.

This is the first analysis OF Wheeling
water and will probably be the last, as Con-
gresS has made no appropriation to pay the
expenses. After the water jars for the
various cities had been made and after
10000 report cards had been printed, it is a
matter of regret that the interesting and
valuable experiment should thus
stop short. The $4,000 in the
hands of the Board must be used for other
purposes, and the expenses incurred thus
far have been paid out of last years appro.
priatiOn. This analysis and its connection
with the pres nee or absence of disease
promised TO he valuable, and physicians
especially will regret it cannot proceed.

first rather startling 70 one who has only
known him through his books. He ut
ters his opinions in q plain. straightfor-

like the heroic strain. Bis disregard
for the eonventionalities of life is, how
ever, thoroughly natural and unaffected.
He Is an inveterate smoker. A brother
poet who spent week with him at his
country seat says that partagas. regalias,

the world the common clay pipe is his
choice. His den is at the top of the
house. When he sits down to work in
the morning huge tobacco jar, large
enough for an ancestral urn, is at his
feet, together with box full Of white
clay pipes. Filling one of these he
smokes until empty. breaks it in twain.
and throws the fragments into another
box prepared for their reception. Then
he pulls out a fresh pipe, fills it, smokes
it, and destroys it as before. He viii

distance. .-Hdrtford Times.
