ATHLETIC GIRLS.
Their Brilliant success as Performers In the
Lawn Tennis Court.

Lawn Tennis Court.
Ten or fifteen years ago no man
would have believed it possible that
girls-that race of whose aptitudes
Tom Tulliver entertained so disparag-
ing an estimate-could ever have be-
come such brilliant performers in the
lawn tennis court. Even among men
less prejudiced than the young hero OF
"The Mill on the Floss" it had always
been an article of faith that women "can
neither throw nor leap" and that the
day would never come when a tennis
bat welded by a female arm would
really and truly "strike" ball instead
of "spooning' it. They knew not what
could be done with the female tennis
player by merely catching her
young" The girls who have learned
their tennis in the school room, so to
speak. who began this game at the age
when they began their ''scales" and
"exercises," are very often nowadays
a match for their brothers. And of
power has been born grace, which, in
deed, If it does not always spring
from power must always have power
for one of it's parents. No one who
has ever seen a really skilled compete
tor in "ladies' tournament" but will
at once retract and apologize for the
impious word awkward" and sun
Terminate" if any such ISLANDERS have
ever passed his lips. Lawn tennis has
now fairly won its title to be con-
sidered a fitting game not merely for
"young men and children" but for "old
men (or at any rate middle-aged men)
and maidens" also. l have said my
say on behalf of the latter, and rs to
the former they, if they are sensible
men, are hardened against ridicule.
Why may they not as legitimately
breathe themselves, though unskilled,
on the tennis court, rs grasp the crab
catching oar or mount the unaccus-
toned horsep Aquatic and equestrian
facilities, moreover, are less easily
come by than the opportunities in these
days for II bout ut lawn tennis.

THE HARVEST.


1watch the golden billaws awaiting tho siclslcs
keen,
While the corn stands waiting yonder, q spleS-
did, glitterins sheen;
Ihesr the reapors coming with merry shout and
song
Then sec the billows falling in solid ranks
along.
Tho grain not only falling, but tho tender
flowers, too,
And with them tsrcs and thistles are scattered
through and through;
for the blade,
While the voice OF the master caileth: ut must
not be delayed"
And TINS is the mighty harvest in all our glori-
The reaper blithe and happy, there is 10y on
every hand
For toll is sweet TO the faithful, reward will
come ut last,
So the reaper sings and labors until daylight
I, hours are past
SEQ the harvest over. and mountains of golden
grain
Await the thrcsher's pleasure, and 1t shall not
WYATT in vain;
For hear tho hum Of engines and chatter OF
turning wheels
Let us wait moment-linger-and sec what
this reveals.
You know what we see, good farmer, in fields
now brown and bare;
Where the grain is kept from the thistles-from
thistle and from tare;
And only the grain is wanted, the thistles are
cast away,
While the flowers that died and withered shall
bloom another day.
I see another harvest in the grain fields of this
life
The wheat is bent and shaken with labor sore
and strife
But the reaper cometh often, with footsteps
soft MS air
He takes tho grain and flowers, the thistle and
the tarc.
The harvest is ever ripening to the reaper's
subtle breath
To the knife of the silent reaper, whose mystic
name is Death;
And we know not the hour Of his coming,
whether at night or day.
Nor why he should spare the thistles and take
our flowers away.
In this living and mighty harvest we are grain
or worthless chaff;
We can not serve two masters-God wants no
work by half.
And pray, when the harvest is over, OF the
garnering Of the wheat.
], with the grain and flowers, may kneel at the
Masters feet.

and hurls him baclr fve yards. Skien has
wound his coat round his left arm and uses
knife with his right. The freed horse,
with dozen wolves leaping at its head,
runs straight into the rescuing party. Then
torches CLEAN and men yell and fight hand
to-hand battles with gaunt, draggled brutes
that snap Mt their throats, fill the air with
'he strong vupine smell Of their kind, and
when blow gets home, howl and kick out
their lives In the rcddenng snow.
II was notable and terrific battle while
IL lasted, and forms topic for conversation
to this day in JoSsdal. Half the dogs were
killed, and more than ono bravo man who
rushed TO tho rescue will carry doep tokens
OF the fight to his grave. Svantson came
worst of. His left arm was badly torn, and
one bite In his throat must have been fatal
had tho brute who made it jumped little
stronger. Skien fought like demon, and
escaped marvelously, with scarce more
than an ugly scratch or two One horse
died where IL fell, the other escaped with
its life, but was ruined for all practical pur.
poses Svantsen's wife, however, looked TO
1t that the excellent beast should live the
remainder of his days in honored idleness.
And the wolves, though decisivoy beaten,
| can not be deemed disgraced. Upon the
field they left four and twenty slain and
some eight or nine wounded to the death.
Deeply detected, torn, manned. and ex-
haustcd, the survivors got back to their
desolnte forest homes; and, maybe, the God
that secs fit to let them live, provided an
adequate meal before the moop had set.
For, mark you, those wolves, without ex-
actly appreciating the fact had achieved a
great and splendid work. They had brought
to the surface much that is noble in human
hearts; they had, in two short minutes,
done that which years of time might not
have done; they had destroyed bitter feud
and built upon its ruins friendship which
will stand while the friends have life

BICYCLES FOR SOLDIERS.
A Corps of English Volunteers ScoOting
About In Lively Fashion.

About In Lively Fashion.
The bicycle force that has been Or
ganized in connection with the English
volunteers recently had its second field
maneuvers, the first having been held
at Easter. Rainy and disagreeable
weather embarrassed the troops on each
of these dates, but the result of the
turnout has been very satisfactory.
On the recent trials the men covered
about one hundred miles in forty-eight
hours, fighting, scouting and camping
by the way. There were seventeen
officers and seventy-seven men out,
made up of representatives of num-
ber of the leading volunteer regiments,
The force was divided into two bodies,
one retreating and the other following
it. At frequent intervals the retreat
ing force made stands at bridges and
other eligible points of defence, and
the pursuers were compelled to halt,
dismount, send out a skirmish line,
and perform all the other preliminaries
of attack, as though in, active war. 1t
was found that two or three men left
behind by the retreating body could
make show of force at bridge
that would greatly delay the ad-
vance of pursuing force, and
then could mount and swiftly ride
away under cover of u hedge and
escape to the main body. This ability
to fight and run away with greater
facility than the ordinary infantryman
is one OF the chief points urged by the
bicyclers in favor of the new ''arm."
1t is said that scouting and reconnoit-
ering parties mounted upon bicycles
could do much more effective work with
out risk of capture than men on foot.
In these maneuvers, although the re-
treating force numbered but three ofh-
GERS and twelve men, they succeeded in
delaying the pursuers so that it took
them three hours to cover distance
easily made in less than two when no
obstacles are interposed. Three of the
retreating force dallied too long at o
q bridge, and were ridden down and
captured by detachment of the enc
my. There were no other losses. The
chief difficulty experienced was due to
the number of parallel roads OCCASION
ally converging that ran through the
country traversed. The retreating
party had to keep scouts constantly
ahead picking up the lay of the land
and bringing in reports, to protect
themselves from the danger of being
Aanked on some Of these roads and cut
off entirely at cnnverging point. In a
country with one good main road and
hut few side roads the success OF d bicy-
Gle corps in obstructing eae passage of
an enemy would be much greater. BIZ
cycles have not yet been introduced in
she British regular army, but If their
success among the volunteers continues,
it is expected that a similar corps will
be organized in each regular regiment.

FAMOUS OLD MEN.
Some OF Those Who Have Passed tbs
Psalmist's Limit Of Life.

The chief names in contemporary art,
science, craftsmanship and practical
affairs are in great part the names OF
men who have reached or passed tho
the Psalmist's limit Of life, and who
arc still vigorous in mind and body.
They are remarkable, also. as COM
pared with the old men OF past periods,
for the satisfaction they find in life,
because OF physical soundness and sus-
tanned intellectual power.
Let us give u list Of some OF these
men, with their ages and employments,

seventy. Long as it is and distinguished
as are the names, it is only a small

All of these men preserve the vigor of
their faculties, and nearly all of them
are still engaged in the work OF life.
If we should include those who are from
five to ten years younger than the
youngest of these, we should have to
make up list which would contain a
great majority of those most dis
tinguished and most laborious in every
department of human endeavor,
whether in our own or in other coun-
tries.
These men, too, are enjoying life
with all the zest of youth. They are
pursuing their tasks and their pleas

delight, for they are now reaping the
fruits of earlier labors, have the salts

GRONLUND ON THE TARIFF.

There was rather slim attendance
at the American Sections Eighth street
meeting last Sunday evening, though the
hall was comfortably cool in comparison
with many another place in the city.
Laurence Gronlund was the principal
speaker of the evening, and he had for
his theme: Socialism and Free Trade"
Mr.. Gronlund thought that it was i'm
portant to discuss the merits of the ques-
ton, as the probable issue between the
republican" and democratic parties
would be high tariff or free trade. His
lecture was agreeably short, but it was
full of suggestiveness. He took the
ground that protection as advocated by

NEW YORK NOTES.

Have you secured tickets for the big
Socialist picnic?
Free lecture as usual tomorrow even
ing at 145 Eighth street, under the au-
spices of the American Section.
The American Section will hold its
monthly business meeting at headquar-
tiers, % East Fourth street, next Monday
evening, July :.
The great picnic Of the New York Sec
ton of the Socialist Labor Party takes
place at Phoenix Park on July 4. This
affair will be more than patriotic.
Interesting developments in the beer
war are expected shortly. The boycott
ting of the pool brews has by no means
ceased, and, if reports are true, will i'll
crease in vigor as the Vigilance Com
mittee perfects and extends its organiza
ton.
Even the small pawnbroker is about
to be crushed by the almost universal
tendency to concentration. A company
with capital of $1,000,00O has been
formed in this city for the purpose of es-
tablishing pawn offices in different parts
OF that city. The interest charged on
loans, it is said, will be reasonably low.
This, of course, will be the correct pol
icy until the small establishments are
crushed out, and then the rates can be
readily revised.
DIR. McGlynn has fairly launched into
a crusade against land rent. Last Sun
day evening a good audience at Cooper
Union listened to him while he devel-
oped a plan of action. He thought that
if 10000 tenants would refuse to pay
rent there would be more writs of eject
ment than the city marshas could
serve, and landlords would have to take
what was offered them, which be a fair
house hire, but no land rent. DR.. Nc
Glynn may take it for granted that
there are not 10000 rent-paying tenants
in the city to day who have the pluck to
follow his plan, or who have confidence
enough in their fellow rent-payers to
adhere to it if inaugurated. Some evic-
tons there would be, and those who
were evicted would suffer. for it would
be difficult for them to find other land

play the same trick on them. Dr. Nc
Glynn will find, the longer he remains
in the labor movement, that the people
are not disposed to try heroic measures
while the risks are so great. They can
hardly be prevailed upon to cast ballot,
let aloe run the risk of eviction. There
liz vast difference between being evicted
in large city like New York and being
thrown upon the country roadside This
part of the labor program cannot be car
ried out separately. The landlords, be-
ing recognized as absolute owners, have
guaranteed right to rent their "prop-
erty at whatever figure they WILL and
knowing the helplessness of the poor
people subject to eviction need only
bide their time. Without State help,
the anti-renters would miserably fail;
and to get State help there must first
come control of the State. Might as
well study the Socialist idea, and then if
there are enough votes, it is barely pos
sible that they may secure State help,
provided they know how to select their
nominees

A GENTLE "ANARCHIST."
Interesting Meeting at the New York
Labor Lyceum Last Week.

OF course there's no such being as an
anarchist among sane folks, but there is
one bright, healthylooking little woman
in this city who declares she is an anar-
chist, and clothes her ideas in language
that is as philosophical as the queer no.
ton she advocates permits. Some of
our readers may doubt it till we tell
them that there are few well educated,
generally sensible people who say they
believe that there should be no laws, no
government, nor should decisive action
be taken by majority if the minority
objects, be that minority ever so small.
Liberty IS what they say will regen-
crate the world, while government and
laws are only to he condemned and
abolished.
The lecturer at the Labor Lyceum last
Friday evening, DR.. Gertrude B. Kelly,
had apparently convinced herself that
she was such an anarchist" and her
subject was Can Justice Be Obtained
Through Liberty
Her numerous prophetic assertions
certainly "proved" that it could, and
her way of putting it was 30 sweet, so
captivating that several in the audience
actually minated that they wanted
considerable anarchy in THEIRS" one of
them even saying that he thought Miss
Kelly the smartest woman in the cOun-
try. The lady did not By anarchy ;"
mean disorder-far from it ! She meant
liberty" no matter what the stupid
dictionaries might say about the mean
ing of the word. And she did not mean
license by "liberty,' for said she 1.-The
liberty of one ends where the rights of
another begins Nor would it require
authority to decide what individual
rights were or where the precise divid-
ing line between the liberty of the one
and the rights of another was situated.
People would hnoac it. Liberty" be-
tween civilized folks and between saw
ages was quite different affair
A few hard hearted, matter-of- fact So
cialists pointed out that some power
would have to decide what was what,
one OF them even going so far as to
speak of the English word anarchy as
meaning want of government, confusion,
a state of society where individuals do
what they please. Of course, no one
who heard the gentle lecturer would
assume that she would do aught else but
right-or what she thought was right
But as one of the speakers said, and as
the lecturer admitted, society is an or
ganism, it would seem strange if every
individual member of that organism did
the right thing at the right time, con-
sidering that there are other influences
besides those of the component parts of
an organism. One speaker suggested
that railroad timetable was law, and
that the community could hardly do
without such law. The lecturer did not
answer this little remark; it was prob
ably too matter-of- fact, too common
place to deserve an answer at the hands
of one whose imagination scared away
above everyday commonplaces.
