CORNELL-COLrMB IA CONTEST.
,o,,apse or the CoIumbia's Crew

NEW LONDON. COM, June 1.-THE
features of to-day's boat races were the
exciting contest between Cornell and
Columbia, and the sensational collapse
of the Columbia crew the mOmentthey
crossed the line at the finish. When
the crew stopped rowing SIX OF the men
f.ll back in a dead faint from exhaus-
tion. Five.of the SIX men recovered
consciousness IN a few minutes. but the
sixth. Meilkelham, remained uncon'
scious half an hour. As soon AZ ms
critical condition was observed by
the officials they steamed to the tug
Wellington and brought physician to
attend him The six men were then
lifted out of their shells and
placed on board tho Carrie
/ Goodwin. While these transfers were
/ being made. the two other men IN the
/ Columbia boat also tainted and had to
be assisted out Of their boat.
When the Columbia launch arrived at
their quarters. the entire Columbia
crew we're lifted out and carried TO theii
rooms and put 10 bed. The men were
in pretty bad shape.
They had been rOwed to standstll
and had completely broken down. Tut
tie was quite excited and at times slight
w delerious. Meilkelham and severa
others we're slightly hysterical and
plainly showed the effects Of the severe
strain under which they had been row
ing. and Of the high tension Of theii
nerves when they found themselves de
feated.
Many alarming rumcrs are curren
about the condition Of two Of the Co
lumbias. but the Columbia men asser
they will be alright in the morning.

A Kiss in the Dark.

Horace Vernet, the artist, was 60
ing from Versailles to Paris by rail
way. In the same compartment
with him were two ladies whom he
had never seen before, but who were
evidently acquainted with him.
They examined him minutely, and
commented freely on his martial
bearing, his hale old age, the style
of his dress, etc. They continued
their annoyance until finally the
painter determined to put an end to
the persecution. AS the train passed
through the tunnel of St. Cloud the
three travellers were wrapped in
complete darkness. Vernet raised
the back of his hand to his mouth
and kissed it twice violently. On
emerging from the obscurity he
found that the ladies had withdrawn
their attention from him. and were
accusing each other of having been
kissed by man in the dark. Pres
emily they arrived at Paris, and Ver-
net, on leaving them said: Ladies,
l shall be puzzled all my life by
the inquiry, which of these two
ladies was it that kissed me.-St.
Louis Republican.

Whv Wasn't He q Comst3

Young Mr.. Staylate was sitting in
the dimly lighted parlor the other
night watching a 17-year-old girl
trying to keep awake long enough
to see the morning star rise. They
talked astronomy.
II wish was a star" he said,
smiling at his own poetic fancy.
II would rather you were COM
et," she said, dreamily.
His heart beat tumultuously.
'.And why?" he asked, tenderly,
at the same time taking her unre-
sisting hands in his own. "And
why?" he repeated, imperiously.
sOh," she replied, with a brood
ing earnestness that fell on his soul
like bare foot on the cold oilcloth,
because then you would only come
around once in every 1900 years.
He didn't say anything until he
was half way to the front gate, when
he turned around and shook his
fist at the house and muttered be-
tween his teeth: by the gods, it'll
be laundering sight longer than
that before / come around again"
But by that time the poor girl
was in bed and fast asleep.-New

A Crow That Kept Bar.

Out in Monroe county, Miss, the crows
have lately made themselves obnoxious
by their persistent invasion Of the corn
fields. A man who had been hired to
watch particularly promising field and
inform these birds that it was against the
rule to pick up anything therein, be-
thought himself how he could make a
''soft thing" of it for himself and at the
same time meet the requirements of his
contract. Finally, by beautiful instinct,
he hit upon plan of soaking some corn
in whisky and placing it in the field, SO
that the crows would eat it and get drunk,
and thus enable him to have q sure and
easy thing of killing them. He had tried
the shotgun, but crows smell powder
long way. After soaking some cern over
night he put good supply in the field
next morning, and in two or three hours
went out to see how things went on. One
of the crows, a little larger than the rest,
had taken possession of nearly all the
corn, had built himself bar out of some
clods of earth and was retailing the
whisky soaked corn to the other crows,
charging them three grains Of sprouted
for one of soaked grain. The man thought
the whole proceeding SO human that he
killed not crow, but came back to the
house aud-took ''nip" himself.-New
Orleans Letter.

A RAILROAD INCIDENT.

The car was quite full, and sat
down in seat with a rather intelli-
gent looking man who had news
Laper in his lap. He was pleasant
and remarked that lit looked some
like snow," which was fact. Then
he abused the railroad company for
not providing better cars and max
ing better time, and we were soon
very friendly. 1t is always great
pleasure to meet man on the train
who will abuse the company with
you and act as if he cared to make
it pleasant for his fellow travellers.
We found fault with the company
until we were tired, and then he
said he was going to Allegheny.
He was going to settle down there,
he said, and stop roaming around.
He'd travelled good deal in his
time, but he'd concluded it didn't
pay, and hereafter Allegheny was
his home. He'd struck something
there that he thought was sure to
be steady thing for several years
at least, and he didn't see why he
might not as well stay right there.
In fact, he'd firmly made up his
mind to it, and no consideration
would induce him to move. He
said if I ever happened in Allegheny
to hunt him up, and l promised to
do SO. He would be glad to see me.
he explained, any day. / wasn't
going to be outdone, so | told him
if he was in New York at any time
to come in and see me. He looked
at the water cooler vaguely, and
said he probably wouldn't be that
way much, as his duties in Allie
gheny would keep him pretty closely
confined. We chatted some time
very pleasantly and found fault
with the company some more, when
he asked me cheerfully if l wouln't
please take off his hat and place it
in the rack above, as it was getting
rather warm in the car.
l looked at him as inquiringly as
l knew how, but not learning any
thing that way, l asked him gently
why he didn't take off his own hat.
He wriggled his arms around a
little, and the newspaper slipped off
his lap, and / saw he was wearing
a pair of adjustable steel handouts.
He also had shackles on his ankles.
A man in the seat behind rose and
took off my companions hat and
put it in the rack, explaining as he
did so that he was the county sher-
if, and that he was taking my friend
to Allegheny to serve twenty-year
term in the penitentiary for pound
ing his brother over the head with
Il brick. / then went back and sat
with fat woman who was carrying
basket of eggs in her lap.-New
York Tribune.

BUTTER WITHOUT CHURNING.

The art of making butter is about
to be revolutionized. That is, if a
discovery just made by a lady in
West N yack can be successfully put
in operation. The old method of
churning will be abolished. Neither
horse, dog nor hand power has a
part in the new method. Its dis
covery was accidental. The dis
coverer, who has experimental with
her new method many times, be-
lieves in it thoroughly.
She put the cream of several days
milkings from her pet Jersey cow
in thick cloth one day last sum-
mer, and as it was too warm to
churn placed the bag in the ground
in cool place, throwing a shovel
full of earth on it so that puss could
not get at it.
She left it there until she came
home the next day. When she took
the bag from the ground she found
the cream had turned to a great
yellow lump of butter, and the only
thing left for her to do was to salt
and market it. The buttermilk
had entirely disappeared, but there
was about third more than the
usual amount of butter obtained by
churning. She has tried the expert
ment a doxen times since and al
ways obtained better butter than by
churning. The only exception was
one time when the rain soaked into
the ground and mildewed the cream.
She is perfectly willing to let the
world have the benefit Of her dis
covery, hoping it may i'll some de-
gree lessen the hard work of farm
ers' wives.
Whether it is the chemical action
of a particular condition of the soil
on the cream, or what the cause is,
she does not attempt to explain,
but the fact remains that when she
has buried the cream in the earth
for twenty-four hours it is turned
to butter, and good, sweet butter,
too.-New York Herald.

BUT our social purity work con-
templates as it's highest object the
harmonization of men and women
into one circle of worth, work and
winsomeness. Why do they now
so poorly comprehend each other?
Largely because their daily inter
ests are so largely separate; their
occupations, friendships, pleasures,
are SO wide apart, their themes OF
mutual conversation few; their
worlds not worlds that intersphere
but only touch. Hence come class
dinners even in coeducation schools,
from which women are ruled out.
The wine glass and cigar have an
accursed spell to separate women
from men. The physical conditions
they induce, and the themes to
which they tend, are foreign to the
purity of woman's habitudes. The
Modern Club is the Homes rival
in the circles of the rich as is the
saloon in circles of the poor. In
deed, man in the home has had as
vet but the faintest evolution, and
vet Home has already done more
for man than any other member OF
its favored constituency. 1t is his
special humanizer; the garden
where his choicest virtues grow;
Mon,s heart is lonesome often, and
the feeling does him honor, for his
lonesomeness is always for the
home that was, but is not, or else
that is not, but that ought to De or
to have been.-Miss Frances VIII

slow play which has prevailed for
the last fortnight. The only plum
ger worth naming during the past
week has been the Grand Duke
Peter, nephew of the Gar. This
young man, by industriously bet
ting the limit, managed to lose L.
100000 francs in a very short time.
Instead of being sorry, all the other
Russians were glad, for his mother
is enormously rich and notorious
miser. Another less distinguished
loser was a very unprepossessing
old specimen of an exotic princess.
This lady carried her belief in fet-
ishes to an extreme degree. She
sat at the table with a large rope,
with which murderer had been
hanged, wound around her neck,
and bulls horn under each arm,
an idea which will probably be
new to American gamblers. In
spite of the rope and the bulls
horns, her last penny melted away.
She made it uncomfortable for the
quiet croupiers by gathering meet
ing in the Casino and declaring
that because she had been f1eeced
in the Panama Canal business it
was no reason for her also being
robbed of her money at the roulette
table; that NJ. de Lesseps would
certainly die of it, and SO should
she, after which she started away
with the bulls horns as her total
assets.-Boston Herald's cable letter.

evening with his best girl on Saturday.
About 10 o'clock the girl went to the cel-

to the rescue, and saw . pair OF feet
sticking out Of the apple barrel and geati'
culating wildly. The girl had fallen IN
head first. He was about to 60 to her ~
