Cornell Won the Eight Dared Boat Race
at Minneapolis,
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July S.-Cornell
won the varsity eight-oared race from
the Pennsylvania eight this evening in
ZS :40 by three lengths. The crowd wit
Messing the great event was the most
enthusiastic rowing crowd ever seen in
this part of the country, and the result
was received with a roar of applause
from one contingent and disappointed
SILENCE from che other. The event was
won on its merits, the dash and action
OF the Ithacans being too much for the
slower, heavy movements of the Penn
sylvania crew.
The Cornell crew got off first and
started toward Wayhata at a pretty
lively jog; few minutes later the bow
OF the Pennsylvania boat shot into view,
The Quakers were pulling slow rtroke
and just padding down TO the start. A
great cheer went up for the red and blue,
on the success of which colors 80 many
men and maids had pinned their faith,
1t was S:l5 before the start was made,
as the wind refused to 20 down, and
blew great guns. Pennsylvanis used a
paper shell and the Yale stroke,
while Cornell pinned its faith
to an aluminium shell and its
short, choppy stroke. For the first two
miles it was neck and neck, neither
crew being able to gain the advantage.
At two and half miles Cornell had q
lead of half a length and steadily in.
creased the distance until the finish.
The race was finished in utter darkness,
and as row boats and sail boats had
crowded on the course, disasters were
narrowly averted.

DENVER, July 8.-The trustees OF the
Denver, Salt Lake and San Francisco
Railway company elected officers as fol-
lows: President. Ex-Governor John
Evans; vice-president, William N.
Bysrs; secretary, W. ]. Evans; treas
urer, j. ]. Reithmann. Governor
Evans delivered an address, outlining
the policy of the company, striking in
many ways. 1t is the purpose of the
road to maintain absolute independence
and belong to no system, east or west.
The company will put into it's stocks all
profits from every source, that no
outside companies or individuals
may profit at the expense of the stock
holders. The governor concluded that
the profits of such investments, secured
by the location and operation of the
road through rich country would be
greater than ever before realized from
such railway enterprise. The board
of trustees passed resolutions unani-
mously adopting the address and policy,
and recommending $10,000,000 capital
stock. 1t is the intention not to dispose
of any at less than par, and float as few
bonds as possible.

THE ITALIAN BANK BILL.

Riotous Scenes In Deputies Preceding
It's Passage.
ROME, July 8.-The final debate on
the bank bill in the deputies today was
tumultuous. Signor Bovio, who has
been energetic in pressing an investiga-
ton of the frauds, made the principal
speech. "The time had come" he said,
"for all implicated in bank bribery to
explain their actions. II the senate will
appoint new committee of inquiry l
will refrain from naming the guilty men.
l demand, however, that the guilty men
refrain from voting on the measure now
before the house. If they do not / will
name them"
Riot broke loose in the chamber as
this threat was made. Insults were
exchanged on every side and dozen or
more fights were barely prevented.
After endeavoring in vain to restore
order the president suspended the sit
ting.
When the proceedings were resumed
Bovio Welded to the opportunities of
his friends and declined to continue his
speech. The bank bill was then passed
by a vote of 222 to 1876. and the chamber
adjourned for the summer holidays.

"The Girl I Let behind Mo. |.

The fame of the song "The Girl / Left
Behind Me" is worldwide. No British
man-of-war leaves harbor, no British
regiment leaves its station for foreign.
service, without the plaintive air being
heard by the men who are leaving and
the girls-their mothers, sisters, wives
and sweethearts--w are being left be-
hind. This song, like many another
that has stirred the British heart at
homo and abroad, that has given valor
in the fight and brought the soft recol-
lections of the motherland amid the
horrors of the battlefield, is anonymous.
1t is no doubt of Irish origin, but no
one can tell who wrote either the words
or the music. 1t has been found in a
manuscript dated about ITO. "The air
was also taken down." says Bunting,
''from A. O'Neil, harper, A. d. 1900, au-
thor and date unknown. The air was
written for march, and the English
version Of the words, called Brighton
Camp differs considerably from these"
Chappell, while he put in an English
claim to the air, admits that it may be
Irish. He, thinks it was probably writ
ten in 1853, when there were encamp-
ments along the coastal Brighton
among the rest-where many tunes Of
this sort originated. Wherever it was
first played, it is now almost century
since it became the soldiers and sailors
loath-to-leave, and it has SO long been
played on every man-of-war as she
weighed anchor and for every regiment
as it quilted town where it had been
stationed that an omission would be
thought slight upon the ladies.-To-

Old Gold Is Scarce.

All sorts of curious things are sold for
the precious metal they contain - old
watches that are broken beyond repair,
old seal rings and rings that were once
set with cleaning gems. A broken
locket once contained miniature and
probably holds the secret Of romance.
A brooch Is made Of the light colored
gold of over 100 years ago and still holds
lock of somebody's dark hair. It was
bought hair and all and will go into the
melting pot with its story untold
Some Of the gold comes already melted
into Jumps, some of it is the gold filing
Of teeth and dentists scraps, and some
of it is in the form of old plates, with
artificial teeth still sticking to them.
Hood & Reynolds. the assayers on Tre-
mont street, say that old gold Is very
scarce, and they have hard work to col
lect the amount needed in their business.
The old jewelry and scraps are melted
down and refined, then rolled out into
gold foil. The gold foil is bought by
dentists and put into the teeth Of their
customers, and in most cases goes back
into the ground with the owner of the
teeth when he dies. Some day, when
Boston is bowling wilderness, an en-
terprising miner will wash out the earth
of the cemeteries and reap rich har-
vest.
But that is matter of speculation. It
Is matter OF fact that one firm Of refin-
ers hero in Boston uses up 1880 worth
of old gold every week and lately has
been compelled to buy coin to exc out
the supply needed for mechanical pur-
oses.-Boston Herald.

Tho Glory Of Rome.s Prime.


Wemay still stand ON the tower of the
capitol and survey that glorious pano-
rama bounded by Tuscan, Sabine and
Alban hills. and dream what that scene
was some 1,700 or 1900 years ago. The
Forum below was one radiant avenue OF
temples, triumphal arches, triumphal
columns, colossal statues, monuments
and votive shrines-the senate house, the
rostra, the sacred way on the one side;
the circular temple of Vesta, the temple
of Castor and the basilica of julius on
the other; above ON the right the temple
of Jove; on the left that of Juno, and the
towering palaces of the Palatine and the
Circus Maximus beyond the valley. Far
as thereye can reach would be vast thea
ters, enormous baths, colossal sepulchers,
obelisks, columns, fountains, equestrian
statues in marble or in bronze.
The walls of these sumptuous edifices
are all of dazzling brilliance in oriental
marbles, bright with mosaic and with
frescoes, and their roofs are covered with
plates Of hammered gold. In the far
distance, across terraces and gardens
shady with the dark foliage of cypress
and stone pine, might be seen the aque-
ducts which bring from the mountains
whole rivers into the city to fill its thou
sand baths and it's hundred fountains.
And between tho aqueducts and the
porticoes, far as the eye can reach to the
hills beyond, villas gleam in the sun
with their terraces, gardens, statues and
shrines, each little city in itself. This
earth has never seen before or since 80

Secrecy Thrown Around the Progress OF

WASHINGTON, July S.-Considerable
secrecy has apparently been thrown
around the operations of the inter
mental railway survey, authorized by
congress in accordance with the plan
adopted by the psn.American conference
in 1890. Though reports of more or
less detailed character have been
incorporated in the estimates laid
before congress, there has been hot
fight over the appropriation for con-
tinuing the work, which has only slipped
through conference between the two
houses. 1t is now stated, however, in
an unofficial way, that the survey is
practically completed. All the survey
ing parties have returned to Washing
ton, having finished the field work COM
pletely. They are now engaged in work
ing up the data secured, for the
publication of the final reports
and maps of the line. This
will occupy several months. The
line surveyed runs from the southern
boundary of Mexico to the northern
boundary OF Bolivia, and is 1000 miles in
length. 1t connects the railway sys.

been found for the entire distance
with no grade greater than per cent.
1t ia further said the engineer in charge
of the survey through Columbia reports
that for many miles the line runs through

material dug out for cuts would contain
enough gold and silver to pay for the
construction of the road over that Sec

A STORY WITH A MORAL.

How Keeping Late Hours Estranged TIVE
Young People of st. Louis.
A curious and withal instructive acci-
dent happened in "our best society" some
time ago. A certain young gentleman
had an engagement to escort certain
young lady to certain very fashionable
party. The young lady was quite a.
fashionable as the party. So when the
young gentleman called about 10 o'clock
she ''was not quite ready, but would be
down in moment" The young gentle
man waited several moments, even 20 or
80, and still she came not. He was very
weary, for, being "a swell society man"
and the season unusually gay, his social
duties had taken him out every night
for week and kept him out until or
in the morning.
Naturally he was somewhat sleepy,
and the longer he waited the sleepier he
grew. There was large alcove In the
parlor draped with heavy curtains, and
in the alcove comfortable sofa. He
thought he would take $40 winks' while
the leisurely lady fingered in her bou-
doir. He stretched himself upon the sofa
and proceeded to take the much needed
winks, but unluckily could not stop
with 40. When at last the lady descend
ed, radiant in loveliness and resplendent
in costume, the gentleman was literally
"out of sight"
She never thought of looking behind
the curtains, but supposing he had
stepped out to see a friend" she watt
ed and waited and waited in vain. At
midnight she gave up the wait and re-
tired to her room in a mood the reverse
Of angelic. Next morning, when the
maid was arranging the parlor, she drew
aside the curtains and screamed. There
WAS WAS ,Vy9gelR{yp Mge lR{yplMliboy HI sleeping as soundly
awakened him. He soptsned his eyes,
rubbed them, took in the situation and
fed without leaving his card. Whether
or not he ever ''made it all right" with
Miss Creme de la Creme the deponent
saith not.
The moral to this story is: Have
earlier party hours Late party hours
kept Miss de la Creme up stairs when she
should have been down, made Mr.. Bulli-
boy tired and drowsy, and SO tempted
him to the fatal "40 winks," with the
disastrous results above mentioned.

CHICAGO, July S.-The equable weather
during July is beginning to tell percept-
IDLY on the attendance at the worlds
fair, the daily average showinga gradual
but constant increase and the officials
expect this to continue until early au-
tumn. The estimates of the railroads
seem to justify the expectation OF the
fair officials that the attendance during
the later months of the fair will chow a
great increase. Again, the period OF
selfish amity among the railroad officials
having passed, and the railroads having
begun to cut rates in their greed for
patronage. the approaching era of cheap
travel cannot fail to show an enormous
increase in the number of visitors from
distance.
The completion OF the Lone Star state
