The WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP.
Sculling Match Between Beach
and Gaudaur.
The Australian Wins the Race by lea
Seconds,

A dispatch from London, Sept. lS says
The race this afternoon between Beach and
Gaudaur over the Thames championship
course, from the new bridge at Putney to
the Ship tavern, Mortlake, for el0OO and the
sculling championship of the world, was one
of the most hotly contested in the m ,mory
of the present generation of oarsmen The
American was beaten, but he made the
games fight possible and Hamm, his train
er, says that he is confident that if Gaudaur
had had another week in England he would
have been the victor At tle end Of the race
the men rOwed together and shook hands.
Beach said, with emphasis "Gaudaur
you re the best man | ever met-the best
man in the world.n The American modestly
replied: "Bu5 you're fastest today
Gaudaur wore the crimson jersey and blue
cap. The veteran ex-champion, Harry Kel
ley, piloted the American from the bows of
an eight-oared cutter, and Tom Green did the
same service for the Australian. Gaudaur
had the best of the start and in a dozen
strokes had quarter-length lead. He then
settled down TO 81 stroke, while Beach
was pulling &c. The latter gradually
gained, AMI at the concrete wall
he had slight advantage. Here they were
rowing, Gaudaur 80, Beach "a The Austria

villa had gained a lengths lead. Gau laur
here seemed tired and rolled somewhat.
Beach continued to gain to Hammersmth
bridge, which he shot in nine minutes,
Gaudaur then being five sacon Is behind.
Beach narrowly missed fouling the pier, and,
having to shorten his right-hand scul lost
little. Gaudaur took advantage of this, and
without hurrying a stroke lifted his shell
ahead at such pace that he got even with
the Australian at Chiswick Church. Here
Beach stopped an instant, IN ssiug one stroie.
Gaudaur pushed on, Kelly shouting to him:
"Go on, he's dead" But Beach was not
dead, AMI with all his power he forged along
His squirt came near proving fatal to his
chances, however, for just as he was draw
ing to a level with Gaudaur he was
again obliged to stop this time for at least
five seconds. His head dropped and every
body thought he was done up. A hundred to
five was offered on Gaudaur, on The umpires
steamer, with no takers The American got
a good lead of two lengths meantime but
Beach's wonderful staying powers enabled
him, after his brief rest, t. resume.

A special despatch from Lampasas, Mex,
regarding the killing Of El Coyote, says;
"Capt. Jose Maria Herrera and seventy
men of the 10th cavalry surrounded
Ell Coyote and 80 of his band on
the nth while they were enjoying
an afternoon nap at the Santa Domingo
ranch. The horses were staked out, guns
staked, and the bandits had their shoes off,
when the soldiers quietly approached with
drawn swords and began the work of exter-
mination. The bandits were taken complete
ly by surprise, but they made desperate
hand-to-hand fight, and twenty of them
fought their way through the ranks of the
troops. Eight were killed and hree wounded.
Among the killed are Col. Juan Rodriguez
Martinez, better known as Ell Coyote, Capt
Manner Perez Vela and Lieutenant Pauline
Chaverz. The troops lost one killed and
one wounded. The troops captured Is

Senator Zeb Vance is thorough de-

walks of life with as much iveliness as
he exhibits at presidential reception.
His abounding humor is elected on the
slightest occasion. The other afternoon
he was riding in herdic down from the
capitol in company with four or five
other senators, A newsboy jumped on
the vehicle and offered the afternoon
papers. Senator Vance, with a merry
twinkle of his eye when the papers were
handed to him, said:

The boy looked at him hard and Of
fered his papers to the senators. Just
as he was ready to step out of the herdic
he shook his finger at Senator Vance and
said: "The devil will get you for lying
yet" There was general laugh, in
which the North Carolina senator hearth

reached in his pocket for the change but

Diet aud Dyspepsia.

All The Year Round.
Most authorities are of the opinion
that cheese is indigeetible, and yet even
on this point doctors can not agree. A
distinguished French chemist has sug-
gested that, to render cheese digestible,
a quarter of an ounce Of potash should
be added to every pound of cheese, while
a German chemist has experimental up
on several kinds of food-such az
cheese, meat, milk and eggs and boldly
declares that cheese is no more indiges-
tible than meat and many articles ol
diet. Suppers are usually condemned
Some doctors assert that suppers are not
only unnecessary but positively harmful
that sound sleep cannot be obtained after
them, and that three meals day are suf,
ticient. On the other hand, others are
of the opinion that a light supper is
necessary to procure sound sleep. After
a meal, they say, blood is drawn toward
the stomach to supply the juices needed
in digestion. Hence the brain receives
less blood thar during fasting, becomes
pale and the powers become dormant.
Sleep, therefore, ensues.
A doctor says that recently he was
called at 2 a. m. to lady who assured
him that she was dying. The body was
warm, he says, the heart doing honest
work. To her indignation he ordered
buttered bread to be eaten at once
Obeying, the dying woman was soor
surprised by return of life and desire
to sleep. Milk is generally considered g
peculiarly nutritive fuid-indeed, per.
feet fuid-and therefore suitable fol-
persons of all ages when it agrees with
their stomachs; yet no less an authority
than Sir. Henry Thompson states that
''for us who have long ago achieved our
full growth and can thrive on solid food
it is altogether superfuous. and mostly
mischievous as a drink" He also says
that the primary object is to satisfy
thirst, and that water is more powerful
to this end when employed free from ad.
mixture with any solid material. Choc
olate, thick cocoa, or even milk are
therefore not 80 efficacious in allayinQ
thirst as water. $50 plentiful is nutri
ment," he adds, "that the very last place
where we should seek that quality is the
dr4nk which accompanies the ordinary
meal" In this respect, at any rate, Sir
Henry Thompson is at one with the veg

with wave of his hand in the direction
of the fence. There's Leadville Lew"
said he, pointing to a very irregularly
carved letters high up on one. of the
boards; knew him in Kansas City two
years ago. He struck town last week,
and haven't seen him yet, but he'll give
us hint of the direction he intends to
take before he leaves. Maybe you won't
believe it, but there's register of this
kind kept at every important sta
ton along the road. You
see, brake-beaming isn't conducted with
the same deg~ee of safety it was years
ago, and we make shorter laps. There
isn't the same sympathy shown by the
train hands toward our set.
"You never heard OF tramps racing
across the continent did you? Why, I
know two crack brake e-beamers-Shorty
Stevens and Frenchy Girard-who start
ed out Of Boston on the same day, each
bent on making the best record to San
Francisco. 1t was a good deal of salts
faction for Frenchy to register first at
Omaha, but when he got to Ogden, there
was Shorty's signature with date two
days back and beat yer in big letters
below. At Elko they met and at True
kee Frenchy was one day behind; but, as
you'll see by the record over there,
Stevens got beat two days after all. A
good deal of interest is taken in these
long distance contests by everybody on
the road.
"How does a new arrival find the
registering place? Why, he asks the
first brake beamer he meets on striking
town. Here comes a fellow to register
now. Guess I'll slide. He might want
to borrow my knife, and it would be the
last I'd ever see of it. I'm dead onto

then Frank broke the silence.
There's only one thing for it, he said.
