AN UGLY ARTICLE.

IL Is n matter OF surprise that 4 news.
paper which is supposed TO be conducted
within such conservative lines as the New
York Times, should have given publicity
TO such an article as that contained in it,
Issue OF last Sunday. without having first
accorded the matter a rigid investigation.
Ii is very often an easy thing for an
anonymous newspaper correspondent to
stab a public official in the back, or
10y a iudicious jugglery of facts to
make such a presentation as will Eravely
mislead a section of the public which
is perhaps not at all acquainted with the
actual situation of affairs.
There are two unfortunate features
with relation TO the Times article. In the
first place the standing of the paper itself
gives a fictitious importance to the state
ment. OF its anonymous correspondent.
Secondly, the paper is chiefly circulated
through such sections OF the country as
have no intimate knowledge of local ter
ritorial affairs. and whose inhabitants are
coustiiutiOnally inclined to believe what is
bad and reject what is good concerning
them.
Much of what the correspondent says
is the veriest bosh; much is misreprcsen
tation or misinformation; whether DELHI
crate or otherwise. As a sample he SAYS:
Warren is not only VIGOROUSLY unfit,
but he is a constant menace TO the contin-
uance OF Republican rule in the terri.

proposition, we could wish that there was
a good deal more truth in 1t than there
really is. As to the fact that he is no

senses who knows Warren would be guilty
of such a foolhardv statement
There may be the widest divergence of
opinion regarding Governor Warren as
people Judge him from their varying
points of view. He may be regarded as
having his weather eye wide open for the
main chance; as being diplomatic by in

railroad officials and perhaps not always
sincere in his expressions, but no man.

Rowing has its ups and downs like every
other athletic sport in society fashion. The
men who know this best are the professional
oarsmen who one season are heroes wherever
they go and make money hand over fist and
another are scarcely recognized outside of
aquatic circles and earn only enough cash to
keep body and soul together. At present it is
In high feather. All over the country boat
clubs and college navies practicing, COM
peting and exhibiting. and in every case draw
great crowds and elicit any amount Of
enthusiasm. The interest is on the in
crease on account of the fierce rivalry
between our leading universities. Columbia,
Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania, Cor
nell and Michigan have each one of them navies
of which they can be proud and which, in sea-
son and out. do work of the best class. Even
the smaller institutions of learning, like Brown,
Amherst. Williams, Dartmouth, Lehigh, Union
and Toronto, have excellent organizations.
whose members. both as individuals and crews,
will compare favOrably with those of the larger
and richer colleges. When it is remembered
that these great schools have on their rolls over
eight thousand names and close on to a hundred
thousand alumni, it is easily seen how large an
interest is conferred in rowing events.

The Effects of Tight Clothing.


Now that rational ideas as to dress have ao-
quired definite place in public esteem, it may
be imagined that the practice of tight lacing
and customs OF like nature, if known at all,
are not what they used to be. A case of sudden
death lately reported from Birmingham proves
that it Is still too early to indulge in such llu.
sorry Ideas. The deceased. servant girl of ex-
eltable temperament, died suddenly in an epi-
leptoid ht and the evidence given before the
coroner respecting her death attributed the
fatal issue to asphyxia, due in q great measure
to the fact that both neck and waist were I'M
naturally CONSTRUCTED by her clothing, the for
mer by "a tight collar the latter by a belt worn
under the stays. We have here certainly those
very conditions which would lead US to expect
the worst possible consequences from a con-
vulsiye seizure. There is no organ Of the BODY
whose free movement is at such times more
important than the heart. Yet here

a good many self-torturing children Of vanity.

This is the reason why oarsmen are so much
healthier than they used to be- They are also
better appreciated in every respect. On the

ADVANTAGES OF ROWING.
Rowing is charming accomplishment on the
one hand and a necessity on the other. Every
child should be taught how to handle the oars
and manage a boat. There is no knowing when
that knowledge Will be of the greatest value
Besides this. it is of the highest benefit to the
health. Judge Joseph F. Barnard of the New
York supreme court has been upon that bench
Tor more than twenty years and has probably
lost less time during that period from sickness
than any other justice in the state. The secret
OF his health lies III the fact that for at least
thirty years he has used a single every day
when he has had the opportunity. His boat
as he makes it spin upon the Hudson near his
home at Poughkeepse, is probably the most
familiar object upon those waters.
Americans do not appreciate the high per-
lection to which Craftsmanship has been brought
IN this country. No other nation can show such
a roll as Hanlan, OConnor. Lee, Ross. Cou, t.
ney. Gaudaur, Hamm, Pilkington. Hosmer and
Plaisted. They have gone to every land to
meet rivals and have conquered fifty times
where they have lost once. On the other hand
how many foreign oarsmen have ever come to
the United States? Just as we have excelled
IN almost every other field to which we have
given our attention so we have in aquatics.
Our yachts are the swiftest and the safest, and
our oarsmen the finest and the best.

like are invaluable in this respect. As to re-
ducing weight, there is no need for
heroic measures. The Schweninger system
of drinking as little possible and
the Banting, of combining ones self to
diet Of lean meat and acid or sub-acid vege-
tables, exercise, warm bathing and regular
hours are the chief means upon which the
modern trainer relies. But above all he en-
deavors to avoid weakening the system by too
mach or too intense training. 1t is far better
for a man to be trife too 'beefy' than to be
overturned. may say in this connection that
there is a curious fact which has long been
known to all oarsmen. but is almost unknown to
the general public. This is that when a mans
waist hollows in his staying powers are nearly
always poor. but when his waist curves out he
is all right. Any training which changes
fellows condition from the latter to the former
is therefore very Objectionable.

the thin, poor quality of the notes. In the pres

timacy with grand pianos, her much-loved in
strument shrank into insignifcance.
She did not know how charming she looked
in her lilac gown, with the huge bowl of white
roses at her right and the light from the win
dow at her left family struggling through the
half-closed blinds. Everything was complete
about Louise, from her pretty head. with its
smooth, compact crown of brown braids, to her
trim little figure in the simple but scrupulously
neat dress. There were many girls far more
beautiful than she but of her kind she was per-
feet and one no more thought of finding fault
with her lack of color. or with the shape of her
mouth, than of quarreling with the violet for
being of different color and shape from the
rose. One might prefer roses, but that was a
different matter.

in all her life passed four happier hours. Would
he think she had been bored all that time? She
looded at him furtively, but he had turned to
speak to her aunt and did not see that wistful
glance. 1t was hard to have to spend her holi-
day afternoon in playing duets with Miss
Wiley, whom she could barely tolerate at the
best of times, and who seemed bent upon
proving her intimacy in the household, calling
her "dear Louise" and my sweet friend" as
il they were of the same age and had been
playmates from infancy. Miss Wiley always
drowned Louise's treble with her bass, but on
this particular afternoon she played louder

prowess.
