With HsnlRn's defeat by Beach, the
championship so easily retained by Han
Ian for nearly seven years passed from
America to the AntipOdes. On June %,
1873, Hanlan tore the laurel wreath from
Eph Morris brow in n fivo-mile race.
Morris had been champion from sept. IL.
1873, to the day Of his race with Hanlan,
barring only from Oct. 81. 1876, to June q
1871, when William SchRrT held IL. From
the day he won the rRce Hanlsn took n
lead so far in advance OF the other OARS
men who measured skin with him that
he was considered invinCible, and. unfor-
tunately for him, he shared the common
belief His over-confidence made him
slothful Practice and hard work gave
way to society and its pleasures.
He will probably make an effort % re-
trieve his prestige in the forthcoming race
in this country with Beach. but as an
idol he has been shattered. Two defeats
by tho same opponent are too much. His
championship record Is shown In the fol-
lowing table:

OF that strange world you will see,
And fear twill be so pleasing

Falling right in shut-eye town,
Where the little mice are many,
Ever running up and down.
Nimbly running. yet unwistly,
For il you're hungry. day or night,
In this happy land Of slumber.
They will stop and let you bite.
Then. too, cream Is ever ready.

When each saucerful you meet.
Hush, my Pussy, sleep so sweetly,
Then these joys will come TO you;
Try and travel off to dreamland,
And see if what I've said is true.

the ground that there is no continent which
is yet undiscovered in the north polar
basin, and that the only lands yet
unknown are the small islands and groups
of islands, and the scientific knowledge yet
to be obtained is not worth the loss Of life
and treasure that will be required for future

After the debate Blair approached Phlegar'

was doing there"
"Oh, replied Phlcgar, pleasantly, II came
here to watch you, and to see whether honor
will buy a breakf yet" This nettled Blair
who sharply retorted that he had never said
as the democrats declare, that "honor would
not buy breakfast" Bair's manner and
words seemed to atirOnt Phlegar, who as
serted with emphasis that Blair had made the
remark at Bland Court House. IL Is II

struck Blair, and several blows were passed
before friends separated the men. II Is SAID

have been stronger il there had been no
change in the Office Of collector of customs.
His blunders since he has gone into
Office are greater than would have
been made by the worst of the sO-called
professional politicians There are n good
many who think that the president should
prefer men who work for the party to men
who do not, in making his appointments.
They say that the president must take the
condition of politics as II Is, and not try to
conduct il upon the supernatural theory of
selection. They point TO the fact that just as
many blunders have been made in going out
Side of politicians as could be made by keep
ing to them. The president is in an embar-
rasing position. He still holds the theory
that the independents are necessary to the
success of the administration. They have
stood by him in every election of his, and lie
hates to cut loose from them now that they
are supporting Davenport and at the same

cause he hopes to have the independent vote

A woman who can relate as remarkable life

stating that Belle Boyd, "rhc Confederate

gone from there to the st. James, leaving
her trunk at the former hotel. The article
did not state that she had eluded her board
bill but left that to be inferred, and iictcious
described the contents of the trunk which
was opened by the people of the Hurst
house The mention of Il pair of old cor
sets, slippers, plug of tobacco, and a"'God
bless our home" motto, fs the only contents
of the trunk incensed lier and she sued for
$1,000 damages Belle Boyd, or Mrs. Ham
mond, for that is the name under which she
brings the suit, was seen this morning by q

ful form and face still youthful, bearing
much of the beauty it possessed when its
owner became famous during the war.
Il am opposed she said, "to newspapers

story which was entirely false wotlnded my
pride but it has done me great injury here and
elsewhere. II am poor, it is not my fault.
