Is May Bo.

Howard Johnson, the Hartford weather prognosticator, has been looking over his grandfather's weather record book of one hundred years ago, from which he learns that in the month of February, 1700, there was but one and one half inches of snow, and that fell on the 20th. But during the month of March, of the same year, there was sum total of eighteen and one.hslf inches of snow, and good sleighing for some days. It may be that we will have "six weeks of slsishing in March" this year, and plenty of ice also.

ABOUT THE CAMPUS.

The Crew Coached by Stevenson 'Se
 saturday-Imp0rtant Changes Made
 Tn the Athletic Ass0ciasion-TheN Nine
 Hard at work.
 r. A. Stevenson 'SS, captain of the S8 crew, is in town and spent most of Saturday in talking over boating matters with Captain Allen. MT. Stevenson will coach the crew to day and give them few pointers. One week from today the candidates for the crew will bs taken to the training table ct Mrs. Lyons, 1002 Chapel street. The men are in pretty good condition now and hard work will be required of them next month, go that by Easter tho crew will have an excellent start. At the Intercollegiate Athletic associ- ation meeting the Yale delegates procured all the changes desired. The change in tho method of deciding the championship in- creases Yale's chances of winning the North Haven cup this year again. There are some of the athlete: st Yale who can take quite a few second prizes, and If the first prizes were only taken into account in determining which college should have the championship, Yale would have been out of the race. Each first prize will count five points, sec- ond prize two points, and third prize one point. The college that wins the largest aggregate number of points will obtain the | cup. The safety bicycles were also ruled out. It was also decided that in the tug-of- | war contest ono team must pull the other over a half an inch or the contest be declared | @ draw.
 The base hall nine ia hard at work under the direction of Captain Calhoun and T. Horner of the New Haven nine. The cage is utilized for batting and sliding bases. There are also four men trying for the posi- tions in the boz, but when Harvard or Prince ton play Yale they will find the old reliable Stagg in the box with his usual lot of curves ready for them. Yale is very fortunate in having battery like Stagg and Poole, in whom Yale men place great confidence.

LAST NIGHTS PRAISE SERVICE.

A Large Attendance at Dwight Place
 Church-Dr. Twltchell.
 < The prsise service at Dwight Place church last evening attracted a very large congrega- tion, the church being filled to its utmost capacity, and the varied programme was greatly enjoyed.
 The pastor of the church leaves to-day for a four weeks vacation in Florida. He will be accompanied by his wife. They will spend most of the time while in Florida at Rock Ledge as the guests of Mr. Chatfield, one of the members of Dr. Twitchell's church. To offset the testimonial of $100 given recent ly to Dr. Twitchell for pocket money on his Florida trip someone in his congregation sent a like sum to Mrs. Twitchell for the trip in order that no par.iality be shown in the case. Few pastors 50 thoroughly win the love and affection of their congregation as has Dr. Twitchell won his since his coming among them. It is rumored that Dr. Twitchell's salary has recently been increased from $4,- 900 to $4, 300 a year as further evidence of appreciation.
 Nine more new members were added to Dwight Place church yesterday.

Dyspepsia Makes the lives of many people miserable, and often leads to self-destruction. Distress after eating, sour stomach, sick headache, heartburn, loss of appetite, a faint, all gone" feeling, bad taste, coated tongue, and irregu- larity of the bowels, are DsossOoS some of the more common
 After symptoms. Dyspepsia does Eox;~ not get well of itself. It
 '5 requires careful, persistent attention, and a remedy like Hoods Sarsa- parilla, which acts gently, yet surely and efficiently. It tones the stomach and other organs, regulates the digestion, creates good appetite, and by thus e;ck overcoming the local symp-
 toms removes the sympa- fseaQacne thetic effects of the disease, banishes the. headache, and refreshes the tired mind. "I have been troubled with dyspepsia I had but little appetite, and what did eat
 Aoa.+. distressed me, or did me
 s little good. In an hour
 0ulu after eating would expe- rience faintness, or tired, all-gone feeling, as though had not eaten anything. My trou- ble, think, was aggravated by my business, which is that of painter, and from being more or less shut up in eo,,r room with fresh paint. Last
 spring took Hoods Sarsa- SIOIuldSH rilla-t0ok three bottles. It did me an immense amount of good. It gave me an appetite, and my food relished and satisfied the craving had previously experienced" GEORGE A. PAGE, Watertown, Mass.

WITHHOLD YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS!

There is a disposition on the part Of
number of the directors of the
Worlds Fair to close the exposition on
Sundays.
This is direct slap at the working
men of Chicago, because Sunday is the
only day upon which they and their
families can see the exhibits.
In the face of this determination to
close the fair on Sundays, Mr. Iceberg
er. the Treasurer of the Fair Committee
SALARY $4,000 per annum), has appeal
ed to the workingmen of Chicago to
come up with their subscriptions.
What cheek
The Board of Directors, it is under
stood, are also contemplating the ex-
clusion of beer and other turntables
from the Fair precincts.
d-man-not- afraid of his-whiskers,
who is director, will probably serve
water-works soup as beverage.
AS this Fair is going to be sort of
Sunday sociable for the benefit
of millionaires, why should working
men subscribe their hard earned
money?
Let them withhold their subscrip-
tions until this Sunday-closing ques-
ton is finally settled. Then they can
see their way clear to act with credit
to themselves and justice to their fam
lies.

stencil manufacturers.
Yet they are allowed to go I'M
checked.
Has Wickersham an interest in any
of the packing syndicates?
Has John b. Sherman taken in Gre
gier?
What is the reason for the municipal
willful neglect?
It is useless to waste words in de-
scribing the iniluity of those monopo-
lists.
THE EAGLE has already described
the methods of the Stock Yards mill
ionaires, and has called attention to the
laches of the municipal authorities
1t will continue to do so though it
stands alone.
1t regrets that its daily contempora-
ries are silent in the matter. The arti-
Gle quoted from the Tribune was acct
dental, doubtless.
1t was slipped in without proper
censorship.
And yet the Tribune was at one
time the vigilant guardian of the pub
lie health against the methods of the
fever-breeders and stench-manufactur-
ers of the Stock Yards region.
1t is only when that region smells to
heaven and is fouler than the other
place that it now talks out.
