Little else is being talked of at the boat
houses but the coming regatta. Judging
from the large number of men in training
for the different events there is every
reason to believe that the affair will ter
inmate successfully.
Secretary Eugene Flanders of the asso-
citation predicts that the meeting will be
one of the grandest ever held on this coast.
Nearly every club Oh these waters will be
represented. The Ariels, elated with their
success in thelate regatta on the Fourth of
July, will make an effort to capture new
honors, and two amateur fours, several
amateur single seullers, besides profess
sional crew from that club, are in training
for the occasion. The Dolphins, nOtwith-
standing their poor work of late, intend to
put one of the best amateurs In the race
that has ever been entered from that vet
eran organization.
Tom Tennison and Louis Oser, eX-mem-
bers of the Stockton crew, which for some
time held the amateur championship, have
joined the Ariels.

fairly well with the souls this year, will be

The Discovery of Anthracite Coal.

The proposition to erect a monument to
Philip Ginder, who discovered anthracite
coal on Summit Hill, Carbon County. in
17S1, has given rise TO number of claims
for the honor of discovering coal in Penn
sylyana. The Wyoming Valley people
claim that anthracite was known in that
section of the State as early as 1756. There
is tradition that hard coal was burned in
Valley Forge about the time of the French
and Indian war. Nevertheless, the Mauch
Chunk promoters of the Ginder celebration
refuse to be turned aside from their plans.
They point with pride to the fact that the
Lehigh Valley Coal Mining Company began
practical mining in Carbon County in 1892
in immediate consequence of Ginder's dis
covery, and it was only then that the posi-
bic Importance Of coal as a fuel began to be
appreciated Philadelphia Inquirer.

MRS. CO0PER'S BIBLE CLASS.
1t Is Again Opened at the Temple

On
At the opening of Mrs. Cooper's Bible
class. in the Temple Emanuel, yesterday,
she spoke of very interesting Kindergar-
ten Board meeting held during the week,
in which the subject of technical school
had been discussed. Among the 1000 chill
dren that have been trained in the kinder
gartens there have been many gifted boys
and girls who have shown real talent in
different industries. 1t would be of untold
benefit to the commonwealth if these chill
dren could be further trained for dis
tinctive trades. TIE ultimate aim of the
kindergarten will not be reached until
these children can have the benefit of the
manual training school,
The lesson of the day was "The Ten
Lepers." 1t was discussed by the large
class of ladies and gentlemen.
The famous Physiek Garden in Chelsea,
England, whose preservation Is now mat
ter Of discussion, has 10000 different herbs
and plants.

Committee had short meeting yesterday
to canvass the situation in regard to the
strike up there. A private telegram was
read, stating that the sixty men who
reached there Friday. shipped from this
city under false representations, refused to
o man to 90 to work as soon as the true
condition of things was explained to them.
The committee found that little could be
done at present. as much as possible hav-

shipments, and decided to consider the
best course to pursue in boycotting the
Wellington coal.

Used as an Illustration.

The temperance lecturer stood for a mo-
ment silent and thoughtful before the I'M
mense congregation in the church after he
had been rewarded for burst of eloquence
with gratifying applause. As he stood
there, look Of sadness crept over his face,
and the audience knew that something was
to &c told them by way of illustration
which would render the hardest heart
there sorrowful. " A short time age" he
began, "a young man was lying upon a
bed in one of the public hospitals in the
city of St. Louis, dying. Yes, dying. Dy-
ing-the death of a druakard Upon
his face, hardened and besotted by de-
hatchery. were still to be discerned traces
OF what had once been youthful, manly
beauty. But it was all gone now. The
demon, tempting at first with wine and
gay company, drawing the bands little
tighter and little stronger, as time wore
on, weaving web of appetite about the
poor victim and dragging him down
through the lowest depths of degradation,
had done his work well. Robbed OF his
money, robbed of his health, robbed of his
manliness, robbed of his soul, the poor
wretch lay there diving. His mind wan
dered, and in his delirium he was again
the happy, guileless lad. The end was not
far away. Suddenly he called wildly for
his mother, and his aged mother, in her
quaint old dress, came TO the bedside and
bent over her son. The dying man looked
up into her face long and earnestly. At
last, mother he said, in broken voice,
mother, where did you get that hat p"

Standing of the Clubs
Standing of the Clubs.
The following table shows the standing
of the four clubs in the California League.
Melange.

To-day's game il this city will be the
last Sunday game but one, and the contest
is to be between the Oaklands and Sacra-
mentos, the two most evenly matched
clubs in the league. Harper will pitch for
the home team, and although Carsey is
announced to twirl for the Oaklands. ii is
not likely that he will, as he has shown a
disposition not to pitch against the Sena-
tors ever since they batted him so hard
about three months ago. Carsey has only
pitched twice in this city since the season
opened, and the people here would like TO
see more of him. The game will COM
meuce at . o'clock and Meegan will um-
pire. Trains will leave the depot for the
grounds at lis and las P. N.
1t is probable that the present manage
ment of the Sacramento Club will continue
to manage the team next year, unless their
franchise is bought up by some anxious
here next year if the management want
him land undoubtedly they do, and Reitz
will also remain if signed, and il would be
out of the question for he and Bowman to
be separated. Both are inseparable friends,
and the club that signs one must neces-
sarily take both players.
Harper should certainly be kept in Sacra-
mento, for he has proved himself the most
successful and effective pitcher in the
League this season. Roberts, Goodenough
and McHale have made the Sacramento
outfield the strongest on the coast, and be-
fore it is too late they should be reserved.
Hoffman has shown himself to be pitcher
who is always steady, and in an emergency
he can play any position in nine. As a
bal. er, he excels the average pitcher.
The Southern California League will. in
all probability, never exist. Since the re-
port that Manager Hellman was in distress
financially, the many players in the Cali
fornia League who have been signed by
him have expressed an unwillingness 10
take any chances, and very few will go
south now. Almost all of the Sacramento
team were signed, but all have determined
not to go to San Diego unless they can see
the way to their salaries more clearly than
they do at present.
1t is said that park at the extremity OF
Mr. Henrys electric road in San Jose will
be where the League games will be played
if San Jose club is included in the Cali
forlia League combination next year.

Sons of Remarkable Men.

1t has often been noted that the sons OF
remarkable men have generally been OF
humble abilities, and numbers of instances
might be cited from history to prove the
truth of the statement. Henry III. of Eng
land was an able man-his son John was
quite the contrary; Edward H., weak
prince, was the son of the warlike and sue
cessful Edward l.; Richard II. was the son
history, the effeminate Louis VIII. was the
son of Philippe Auguste; Charles, the
Fool, was son of Charles, the Wise In
Germany, Henry VI. was the son of the
great Barbarossa. The sons of the philos-
ophers were almost uniformly obscure men,
and the sons Of the poets are never heard
of. Lord Chesterfield wrote his inimitable
letters to youth who is not known out
side of the pages of that volume, and so on
throughout history. On the contrary, a
few conspicuous examples have occurred of
a talented son equaling or exceeding the
achievements of his father. Alexander
the Great was son of Philip the Great,
Charlemagne was son of Pepin, and the
in British annals. In this country the
dichm of Lord Bacon, that "great men
have no continuance" is verified in the
cases of nearly all our noted statesmen.
Washington had no children, and, so far
as known, there is, with the exception of
the Adams family, no lineal descendant of
any of his cotemporaries or of their great
successors, such as Webster, Clay, Calhoun
and Benton, now in public life.-St. LOUIS

HOW THE RECORD IS LOWERED.
Inventions and Mechanical Ingenuity
Have Had Much to do With It

The record of running and of trotting
horses has been reduced this year. Breed
ers and sporting men contend that this re-
duction of time is the result of the devel-
opment of equine powers by judicious
breeding and training. Doubtless this has
had considerable to do in increasing speed,
but ii is not likely that it entirely accounts
for 'breaking the record" Of all previous
times.
Race tracks have been very greatly i'm
proved since the time the old Fashion
Course" in Long Island witnessed the per-
formances of Ten Brock. Only recently
have race tracks been constructed at a
cost Of $4,000 per mile. Then no person
was paid $4,000 year to train and take
care OF horse. Then a jockey was not
better known throughout the country than
Senator. Then the shoeing of race
horses was not included among the fine
arts.
Inventions and mechanical ingenuity
have had much to do in "breaking the
record" Brides, saddles, harness and
sulkies have been constructed with view
of reducing their weight to the greatest
extent possible. Materials for all these
things have been obtained without regard
to expense, and workmen have been en-
ployed to put them into shape who were
skillful enough to manufacture telescopes,
microscopes, chronometers and philo-
sophical apparatus. All these have
helped to "break the record"
The record of bicycle riders has been
broken in the same way. The best time
has been made on improved race tracks
or boulevards covered with smooth pave
ment. The wheel has become a marvel of
workmanship and some of them cost as
much as a .wo horse pleasure carriage.
