Insomnia and Nervousness.

There can he no doubt that many per
sons suffer from insomnia which had its
origin, or at least its principal strength.
in their own nervous apprehension that
they are or are about to be afflicted with
il. Any one Of dozen causes may in.
duce wakefulness, and yet the person
lying in bed with the faculties alert at
the moment when they would naturally
be expected to be wrapped in slumber
has nine times out of ten, or ninety-nine
times in a hundred, nothing serious Ia
apprehend. The stomach may not be in
quite its normal condition-and there is
no more potent cause of wakefulness.
Now an hour - ten minutes even
seems long time in the middle of the
night, when n person wishes to be sleep
ing and cannot. If sensation of dread.
of apprehension, is allowed to enter the
mind, such period simply becomes IN
terminable. The nervous apprehension
increases the difficulty, and feeding
upon itself the arrangement may quite
possibly increase till it becomes dan
gerous malady.-Good Housekeeping

latest sensation ID exploded. The story
of pert little Louisa Haley, never fully
believed, is believed now to have been
wholly invented in order TO secure .
money reward from Millionaire 6earles.
1t transpires that the Haley family
bought o house May 18 and paid e100
down, and were to pay 5000 more yester-
day, but had no money. Then came the
story OF the girl. The officers believe,
after careful Investigation, that Louisa
deliberately manufactured every word OF
the story, so that Mr.. Searles might ap-
prsciate her and perhaps payloh the debt
on the house. The officers believe that
the girl, or someone directly interested,
cut of her hair.
1t is said that Mrs. Haley told the
owner Of the house, who called ycstsr-
day for his money, that Mr.. Searles was
to pay for the house. This is fatty de-
MED by Mr.. Searles' private secretary.
Mrs. Haley and Louisa would say moth
ing in connection with this matter. The
police however have found 80 many con-
trad dictions of their stories that they are
sure the body-snatching and kidnapping
stories are pure fabrications.

HARVARD VERSUS YALE.

The Outlook for the varsity Race-Isi

Enthusiasm.
ESPECIAL TO THE SEwsi

IsPECiAL TO THE NEWS
NEW LONDON, Conn, June 24-it is a
fact that is daily becoming more obvious
that the Harvard crew is hot favorite
for winner in the great varsity race of
July l. This results from combination
of circumstances which have worked to
the detriment of the Yale boys. The dis
appointment and the illness of Capt
Hartwell with many minor annoyances
would seem TO indicate that the facts are
down upon the blue, yet there are warm
supporters who declare there Is too much
weight in the Harvard boat to ever insu re
success and who upon the great day of
victory or defeat will stack their pile of
wealth on the brawnv boys of New
| Haven.
Betting has not become spirited as yet
and what money has been already staked
constitu tes but mere bagatelle and can
not be regarded as "A true indication of
the general feeling of those who stand to
win or lose a big roll. The Hurrah crew
has shown SO much beef that IL has be-
come the opinion of many "know-it-alis," !"
that the race is to center on a question Of
Drawn, but those who have before beeu in
the midst Of the big battle royal laugh at
this seeming vagary.
The appearance of Faulkner the pro-
fessional coach on the Charles River as
mentor in the Harvard boat is very gener-
ally regarded as an indication that Har-
ward STANDS OH ragged edge, and that in
jumping over the head Of a sound coach
like Harry keyes, they have clearly
demonstrated their weakness. With the
arrival OF the Yale supporters and
little better luck all around
the blue is bound to come up
all right, and may sell as fa-
vorite when the battling day arrives. To
the conservative il still appears TO yet be
loss Of coin for winner, and there will
be plenty OF crow on hand perhaps for
these who are now so sagacious.
Hartwell declares himself well again
and certainly looks fit. The town people
can't enthuse and the arrival OF the
rooters is eagerly looked forward to.
