The Coming Oarsman.

CHICAGO, June 23.-The sculling
regatta on Lake Calumet at the vii
lage of Pullman, this afternoon, de-
veloped surprise and prodigy in
the person Of young Teemer, the
McKeesport oars1nan, hitherto UNI
known, but who displayed his mettle
by winning a place in the final
struggle Yesterday, but who tailed to
keep up with eitheE Hanlan, Hosmer
or Hamin, owing, it is now claimed,
to his inexperience to rowing in
rough water. To-day, in what has
been termed the "Consolation
Race" open to all, he beat three
leaders of the days preceding, in
which he covered three miles in 20
min. IA sec, thus lowering Court
ney's best record of twenty minutes
fourteen and one-half seconds, end
the best three mile time on record,
and upon which his reputation has
been built. The conditions were
perfect tor fast time. The sky was
overcast and the lake was placid,
and there was everything to encour-
aye the contestants to show at their
best. Five thou-and people were on
the grounds. Seven men We're READY
when the word was given at 4:O7, and
went otftogether, having been placed
as follows: Mckay, Lee, Gouder, Ell,
i,tt, Parker, Riley, Teemer and
Plasted. Gouder showed to the
front early, with Riley second, Ell
liott third. the latter pulling at
stroke of thirty-six to the minute.
At the half-mile buoy Riley and
Gouder were abreast, both leading
Teemer and Lee four lengths;
Teemer then drew up and passed
Elliott, who dropped out. Lee t"en
forged ahead and turned the mile ana
half buoy first, in 9:l5, with Gouder
second and Teemer, Riley, Mckay
and Plaisted in the order name !. Al
the mile and three-quarter buoy Lee
makes a claim that Gouder fotled
him, and from that time on
his chance for the first
place was gone. Gouder pushed
ahead and passed the two-mpe buoy
in fourteen minutes and three Sec
onds, leading Lee one-half length,
Mckay in close proximity, Win
Tee Ter on his quarter, Parker ana
Piaisted well in the rear: Lee
stopped rowing soon after passing the
t"o-mile buoy. Teemer all this tln'e
was rowing in fine form, and passing
Mckay pulled for Gouder with
stroke of thilty-two to the minute.
AT the two and a half mile buoy
leemer went to the front and held II
t. the finish, Gouder coming IN sec
"ld two seconds later. Riley, Mckay,
Parker and Plaisted following in Use
order named, Mckay and Riley be-
my We. up to the others.

tors Duel.
RICHMOND, June 22.-It appears
that Mayor Darlington received in
formation as to the locality where
the belligerents were to meet. He
sent a police officer over the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Railway to Hanover
Junction. On getting off the train
the officer discovered the party and
took them in custody. 1t has been
since ascertained that the duel had
been arranged for this afternoon, and
but for the sudden appearance of the
officer ten minutes would not have
elapsed before the fight had taken
place. AS it was it would have been
all over but for some disagreement
between Mccarthy, Beirne's second,
and Ragland, the second of Elan,
about the pistols to be used. That
trouble being settled the party was
about moving to the place where
Elan was waiting when they were
arrested. 1t is reported that in ac-
cepting the challenge Elan named
Colts revOlvers, seven PAGES, both to
advance after the first fire, and that
Beirne had agreed to the conditions;
the disagreement which caused the
delay at the last moment was that
the pistols brought by Elam's friend
were not Colts revOlvers but smaller,
not as effective weapon. Mccarthy
wanted the fight to 60 on with regu-
lar dueling pistols, which they had,
but tie parties finally agreed to use
the revolyerS.

No Further Land Grants to Rail-

OTTAWA, June 2S.-The govern

grants to colonization railway COM

railways are completed there will be
no further sale of lands. If, how
ever, it is found necessary in the
interest of the country to make fur

fifty cents per acre. This conclusion
was arrived at owing to the rapid

long before the matter Of transcon-
tinental line through Montana was
ever thought Of. 1t is one Of the "eld
time" towns of the Territory-solid,
substantial and relying now as it al
ways has, more upon the resources of
its surrounding magnificent farming
lands for its growth and support than
upon the presence of the railroad.
The town is beautifully located at the
head waters of the Gallatin. Lying
at its feet and stretching away in the
far distance is the beautiful Gallatin
valley noted alike 1or the fer
tility of its soil < and the
rare quality of its productions.
Its streets are wide, clean, level and
straight; its business houses roomy,
well-built and substantial; its private
residences comfortable, and many of
them luxurious in every appoint
ment. Trees and shrubbery line
many Of its streets and beautify the
ya.ds of its citizens. 1t is not min
ing town, and hence presents more
of the characteristics of Eastern cities
than many other Montana towns.
Its citizens rank among the most in
telligent and enterprising in the Ter
ritory and seem to be we'll satisfied
with their surroundings and the
future of the homes of their choice.
Bozeman is. credited with a popu-
lation of 1900. It has three or four
q fine school building,
large court house, Touring mill, plan
ing mills, and, what speaks volumes
in its favor, two large and we'll con-
Quoted newspapers-the Chronicle
and Avant Courier. It has fair
hotels, but like those of many ether
Montana towns they can be improved
upon a. far as room and quality of
the buildings are concerned. But
Of one thing Bozeman can
boast. She has the largest,
the most extensively equipped, and
most complete billiard hall and SAM
pie room in the Territory, or in the
West as to that matter, and in its
owner, Captain Jehn Smith, she has
)ne of the largest hearted and most
snterprising men in Montana. Boze-
nan has been referred to as an agri-
town, but she has other re-
'ources which add greatly to her ma.
erial wealth. Mines of silver and
;oal are in the near distance, while
Ter stock raising advantages are q
continual and never ending source of
wealth. Now that she has a railrs, Il

The coin Of "A nation not only represents n
value but in addition thereto indicates tho
degree and character of the age which pro-
duces it. We know not what the future may
bring forth possibly coin may go out of use,
and paper as during the war, become tho sole
representation of money. In such subjects,
however, wo must deal with the present and
let tho future take care of itself. Those who
come after will have paper or coin, or both,
as they may prefer. Each ago will dictate
the character Of its own money.
The decimal system of the United States is
undoubtedly tho most practical, and will
therefore be the business mans currency.
Tho value of tho currency established, the
next thing is tho design, which should bo SO.
lectcd for its beauty, character, and practical
utility.
With few exceptions the coins of tho United
States have character and beauty of design,
and arc complete and we'll adapted for prac-
teal business. Among our few drawbacks
arc having two distinct coins in circulation
representing the silver value of dollar.
This is most absurd and an injury to tho
business interests of the country. Ono of tho
two should DO Immediately withdrawn. As
tho regular silver dollar is such an abomina-
bic design tho better plan would probably be
to withdraw them both and replace thom
with a new coin Of good design.
A few years since twenty cent piece was
put into circulation. Tho idea of twenty
cent coin was good, but tho design unfortu-
nately so much rosombled tho twonty- y-hve
cent piece that it became hindrance rather
than help to trade.
Let tho twenty cent piece be called a
shilling" and let it be made octagonal or
elliptical in shape, or like Chinese coin with Il
hole in il that is, in some way give it such
strong character that it may as readily be dis

An Ancient Tunmel.

1t is announced that the famous hill of
Posilippo, near Naples, containing the far
famed grotto, is being bored for new tunnel
to be used by the steam cars on the line be-
tween Naples and Pozzuoli. Tho workmcn
have discovered an ancient tunnel, six by two
and half feet, which runs north and south,
and on its walls are inscriptions called by
the Italians grdGtto, which announce that one
Macrinus, the steward of Diadumenns n
wealthy freedman and dependent of tho En-
peror Nero, made an inspection of the tunnel
in A. d. 60. Running along on tho sides of
tho tunnel are inscriptions showing that it
was inspected and measured, and grG6itto,
which reads "Liberi vivas," appears
which is understood to mean that
the work was all completed and in good
order. An American grGgitO would abbro-
viate even this very short inscription by sim
ply putting tho letters o. X. on tho sidos Of
the tunnel. There is nothing to show if there
wero any damage suits for losses of lifo or
