II FOR ENGLAND!

The young athletes of Yale, who are
going over to meet the Oxford men in
London. for a trial Of strength, skill
and activity. sailed to-day on the
steamer New York. Nine good men
and true will contend for supremacy
with the best men in the English
University. and the contest will be
one well worth seeing.
1t Is very certain that the Yale team
will give a good account Of themselves
even II they do not achieve victory.
They are all good in their way, and
while a sea voyage Is not the best
preparation for the exercises they have
to go through. yet the weather prom
Uses to be fair. and probably the voy-
ayers will not suffer much from sea-
sickness. AS the meeting takes place
on July l6, the Yale boys will have
time enough to r%ecuperate anyway.
These international and intercol-
legiate contests promote emulation
and bring about a good feeling among
those who take part in them. Yale will
have no reason to regret the expert
ence, even II she does not bring back
with her the laurels of victory.

PROGRESS REPORTED.

The Lexow Committee dropped its
Dag OF green goods yesterday and took
a hand &c the old and admired game Of
bunco. An old gambler named Frank
Clarke gave a history Of his doings In
connection with a number of notorious
CROOKS and especially the much-talked-
OF Ed Pa-meley Jones. at present in Eu-
rope, enjoying the Grand Prix and other
famous races.
mr.. Frank Clarke's story Is mainly
ancient history, but he testified posi-
lively that Police Justice DIVERS old
sale on. on what was Their Chatham
street, was the headquarters of the
ounce men; hat the Justice was inter-
ested In the game, and that the bunco
operators were regularly under the pro-
tec.ion of the police.
Justice Diver positively denies that
there Is any truth in Gambler Clarke's
story. says he does not know Clarke Mt
all, and only knew Parmely Jones by
hearsay.
The days testimony did not add much
to the stock Of knowledge already gath
cred in by the Committee. The most
noteworthy feature OF the session was
an attack made on Supt. Byrnes by
Lawyer Moss. OF the Committees coun-
sci. which does not serve to strengthen
the belief tina the Superintendent is
about ready to make a clean breast
of all he knows. Inc put a clincher on
the evidence already gathered on the
subject OF blackmall and protection.

he turned in the alarm. He got out

red-hot by the flames, and for a long
time held the firemen at bay. The heat

this declaration is that voicing a willing

THOSE CARNEGIE FRAUDS.

The Committee investigating the Car
negie armor-plate frauds has found that
out OF six hundred armor plates SO per
cent. were improperly treated. The
original statement OF the workmen that
between rs and 90 per cent. of the
records were fraudulent has thus been
fully borne out.
Mr.. Tricks reply to these disclosures,
made In his recent letter to the Commit
tee, is that the workmen who are testi-
flying to the frauds are spies and black
mailers." Well. they may be, but they
have spied out frauds and rascalities
that ought to send those guilty of them
to jail, and It is very evident that the
Carnegie people would have gladly
bought up their testimony II they had
shown any disposition to sell out to the
Company.
Mr.. Frick knows very we'll that the
fraudulent acts OF the Carnegie Com
pany would have escaped exposure II
some one had not been there to Spy"
upon the rascals. Other people will re-
gard Mr.. Tricks spies" as public-spir-
tied n patriotic citizens who did not
choose to see the Government shame
fully robbed by men upon whom every
favor had been showered.
Among the facts drawn out by the
Committee yesterday were the methods
adopted by the superintendent to avoid
detection in their frauds. While the
cheating was going on. men were placed
on guard to give instant warning in case
the Government inspectors should ap-

to extend to the tops of ordinary shoes.
1t is gathered to a belt and falls in full

Reflections on Tips Death.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
The great Central Park Is left in the dark since
Tip got the meal that turned up his heel. 1t was
all very well for the keeper to tell how he'd give
him the ball that would finish It all. but he
lacked the gall when he came near the STALL. and
Tip saw it all and smelt the great ball that soon
made him fall where he stood in his stall. Tip
soon forgot all. 1t was a hard fall that ended It
all. for Tip was 30 tall that when he did fall
with such a great roar and lay on the floor the
men opened the door and feared little more his
terrible roar. OF course 1t is sad. but the Park
Board Is glad to think they are rid and how easy
they did with one little ball kill Tip in his stall.
Well. I guess that Is all. but l hope by next Fall
that %Tsmmany Hall will get Just such q ball that

ers. ]. +. Il.

Hints.

Wood ashes very finely sifted are good
for securing knives and tinware.
All rug when shaken should be
handled by the middle and rot the ends.
When ironing. a woman should sit in
stead of stand, and work in a cool room.
Cauliiower used for pickles should be
prepared by first boiling the vegetable.
A t~easpoonful of powdered borax
added to cold starch will tend to give
the linen extra stiffness.
Rain water and white CASTLE soar in
lukewarm suds is the best mixture In
which to wash embroideries.
Single beds are nov not only fashion,
able, but hygienic. Double beds a
little sale with wholesale dealers.
