BubeaI's Challenge.

No doubt the sporting world was somewhat
startled during the week to read of George
Bubear's challenging William O'Connor to a
boat race. The views from across the sea is to
the effect that the English champion offers to
row O'Connor the Parametta river. Aus
tralia, for the championship and big stake.
Most certainly Bubear has right to challenge
whom he pleases, but we also have a perfect
right to laugh, and think that few people will
refrain from a good laugh when they learn of
Mr.. Bubear's latest. 1t may be that nature is
dealing more different with Bubear than with
other people. and that as he gets older he gets
better. But even if this wrong nature was to
take place he would have to be so much older
than now to defeat O'Connor that we need not
our day. / would like to know what
Bubear's challenge means, because am hard
to convince that anybody will find $1,000 or
5000 for him to row O'Connor Speaking of
rowing reminds me that O'Connor has chal.
lenged the winner in the kemp-M PATTERSON race
lu this way a champion may eventually be de-
teTmined on, but still fail to see how Kemp
and Matterson can be rowing for the CHAMPION
ship. Where is Stansberry IN all this talk and
arranging? Even if O'Connor were to defeat
Kemp and Matterson we could not very well
deem him champion until he had beaten Stans-
berry. 1t seems that reputation" in Austria

or false. good OF bad. but that is immaterial if

About the Deserters.

During the week there has been much talk
about the deserters The talk has chiefly
eminated from the leaders OF the Brotherhood
and but for one thing it would not be worth
more than ordinary attention. That one thing
is the fact that time and time again declara-
tions have been made to the effect that not
deserter would be taken back by the Brother
hood. Almost every person any way prom
inently connected with the Brotherhood made
these declarations on every occasion that
desertion took place. Now, what makes the
entire business SO empty and absurd looking is
the fact that whenever one of these deserters
apply for Teadmission they are taken pack. not.
withstanding the fact that they had been
reveled and censured in the strongest possible
manner by those whose arms were open to re-
ceive them again. Many of us read the
other day the few strong words sent out by the
Boston Players Club. The fact of that letter
shows that there really is a very great differ
ence Of opinion among the new League peo-
pie. As I have just said all this talk

Once more there are indications that a con
test will be arranged between John L. Sullivan
and Peter Jackson. Suddenly the former has
become, to great extent. free from the South-
ern police authorities, and he has declared his
willingness to meet Jackson before the Cali
fornia Athletic Club providing a purse of
so 900 is offered. This demand is no douht
extraordinary, but according to dispatches
from San Francisco President Fulda. of the
club named. states that the money can be
raised. Well. admirers of the manly art will
be glad of the prospect of a meeting between
these two biz men, and considering all the talk
there has been about them it is about time thev
did face each other. But should definite ar
rangements for battle between them be made
at once, it will be long before they can meet.
because of Sullivan's condition. The latter has
been going along socially at a very merry pace
for long time, and it will require months to
get him into condition. In Jackson he has a
better man to face than in Kilrain; but how
much better L don't know. Jackson's build
however, and length of reach demand that anv
man who faces him should be in good cundi-
ton. At any point a man like jackson is liable
to knock the biggest opponent out. Certainly
it would be a surprise to me were Jackson to
knock Sullivan out in a glove contest but
If the latter were not in the best of con-
see Jackson hold his own. 1t does
not seem to me that jackson has anything to
lose by meeting Sullivan. The colored cham
pion has had his tour" and successful one il
has been. He has made fortune on the
strength of defeating such men as Joe Nc
Aulitfe and Frank Glover, and even were he to
be beaten by Sullivan he will not be estimated
very much lower than he is now. He is not

The heirs of Benjamin Franklin have
entered suit in the Philadelphia courts
to contest his will, hich was probated
just a century ago. In it he bequeathed
to the cities of Philadelphia and Boston
the sum of 81 900 each, to be lent upon
marriage to young men under 25 who
had finished their apprenticeship and
wished to establish themselves in bust
ness. The rate of interest stipulated
was 5 per cent Franklin estimated
that at the end of a century the fund
would amount to el31 .00G. He directed
that e31, 900 should the. be devoted to
mainder loaned to young married
couples for another century, when he
thought it would amount to GA, 000,-
600. This sum was then to be divided
between the city and the State. Ac-
cording to Professor Ely's "TaXation in
American States and Cities, the Phila-
delphia fund two years ago amounted
to $73 600, and the Boston fund to $315.-
600. The Franklin heirs petition that
the will be set aside, and that these
funds, which their ancestor set apart
for the ul innate enrichment Of the pub
lie and relief of taxpayers, should be
divided among themselves. They base
their petition upon the claim that the
bequest was not charitable one, and
therefore was in violation of the COM
mon law rule of perpetuities" which
forbils the tying up of an estate for
more than p years after the death of

Encounterinc "A Water Sp0Ut.

In his Explorations in New Guinea"
Captain S.rachan gives an account of
his meeting a water spout near the coast
nifty for Observing the phenomenon was
REMARKABLY good, and his description of
it presents some new features.
The wind was light and battling, and
neavy dark clouds were rising to the
westward and working down upon us.
Between and o'clock in the
afternoon the clouds gathered near the
ship and sucked up from the bosom of
the Gulf no less than six tremendous
water spouts, which travelled rapidly
toward us.
One huge simeon of the deep camo
whirling along directly toward the
vessel The men were called to their arms,
the big guns were loaded and covered
ready to fire when the huge column of
water was within two hundred yards.
The rifles were kept continuously firing,
but from excitement or some other cause
l could not get the men to fire well to-
gether, and one Of the most tremendous
water spouts that ever I had seen was
ere the rifles succeeded in breaking it.
l have frequently described water
spouts in other parts of the ocean as
having nothing grand or imposing about
them. This l can say no longer; for as
the monster rushed down toward the
ship like an avalanche, it seemed to be
dashing spray for at least thirty or
forty feet from its base, and could be
compared only to some huge steam
engine. rushing along without control,
with the valves open, and shooting a
tremendous volume of steam round
great spiral column of smoke. While
standing port fire in hand at the swivel
gun, l was enabled to determine that
the great spiral column of water was re-
volving from left to right.
No sooner had we succeeded in break
ing it, than sharp breeze sprang up
and dispersed the five remaining water
spouts and carried us rapidly along the
coast, which had hugged pretty close
with the intention of hailing a canoe
from the village.

ances," contributed by j. NJ. Mills, in

brought to focus in front of the retina;

persistent and obstinate muscular irrita-

is felt more particularly at the end of

equal discomfort from working any

are impaired by muscular weakness have
headache, pain over the eyes, neuralgia,
dizziness, nausea, and vague nervous
disturbances. So serious is the effect of
any imperfection in the eye that the eX-
animation of the eyes of children of
school age would seem to be imperative.
Many children have been rebuked for
stupid neglect of and dsinclnation for
study, when they are simply unable to
endure the eye strain. Many have been
forced from intellectual labor to less

The Modern Goths.

Lord Wolseley believes that the Chinese
will in time overrun the world-as soon,
in fact, as great general OF lawgiver
arises among them. At present they
have no great leaders, for the simple
reason that the government puts out of
existence every Celestial who displays
more than the average intelligence. 1t
is narrated that when commissioner Leh
was asked whether it was true that he
had heheaded 60, 900 men in three years
herepled: "Oh, surely, more than that I"
Lord Woseley thinks, however, that 4
Chinese Alexander or Moses will come
to the front some day, and that his people
will then adopt the profession of arms
and sweep over India, Russia, and the
continent, and finally give England,
America, and Australia tussle for
supremacy. This sounds chimericaI, but
we should not forget Rome OF the Goths.
