Finest Episcopal Church in the Country
Our Bovine Servants.


The help which our bovine servants
render us by the power which they exert
in traction, as drawing plows, sleds, or
wagons, appear to have peer first rem
dered long after their introduction 10
the ways Of man. The first OF these
uses in which the drawing strength of
these animals was made serviceable APP
pears to have been in the work of plow-
ing. In primitive days and with primi-
tive tools. hand delving was a sore task.
The inventive genius who first con-
trived to overtun the earth by means OF
the forked limb OF a tree, shaped in the
semblance Of a plow and drawn by
oxen, began 4 great revolution in tho
art of agriculture. To this unknown
genius we may award a place among
the benefactors of mankind, quite as dis
tinguished as that which is occupied by
the equally unknown inventors Of the
arts OF making fires or of smelling ores.
After the experience with the strength
OF OYER had been won from the work OF
,plowing it was Easy to pass TO the other
grades of their employment where they
were made to draw carriages.
Next after the contribution which the
kindred OF the bulls have made by their
strength we must set that which has
come from their milk. Although this
substance can be obtained in small
quantities from several other domesti-
Gated animals, the species of the genus
Bos alone have yielded it in sufficient
quantities greatly to affect the develop
ment of man. II is difficult to measure

iJebiEo y SdPpNhht
With Europeans the Trouble.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. T.-The
Honolulu correspondent of the United
Press writing under date of November
10, per steamer Australia, says: 1t has
transpired that about ten days ago the
japanese commissioner wsote TO For
eign Minister Hatch, complaining that,
ter Thurston had said ut Washington
that ut was desired to root out
the Japanese and Chinese in Hawaii"
and he wished to be informed
whether this government cherished
any such policy towards the Jap
aaese. After some delay Mr.. Hatch
made reply in substance that the re-
ported newspaper interview could
scarcely be an adequate basis for Dip
lomatic inquiries; that the government
did not believe Mr.. Thurston made any
such statement as That alleged, and
that the government did desire to sub
stitute importations of European labor
| ers in place of those from Japan and
Asia, but this was totally different
from any desire to DOT out or modest
the Japanese laborcrs resident here.
Since the adoption of the constitu-
ton of the republic the tone of the
/ Japanese representative has become III
creasingly unfriendly. This is sup
posed to be due to the fact that while
no ground of complaintis given by amy
exclusion of japanese, as such, from
the voting privileges, yet they nre
practically left with nj share IN the
suffrage. en- equality in which the com
missioner had previously demanded fol
them.

YALE AND HARVARD.
The Blue aaa Crimson WIN Meet at fest-
bal! SATURDAY.,

BosToN, Mass, Nov. 2n-Saturday
the battle of the Harvard and Yals
football giants viii take place. Hamp-
deu park, Springfield, vii, again be
the scene OF u great struggle between
the two leading colleges for the STU
premacY on the gridiron. while 5000
voices will applaud tho efforts OF these
been so difficult to determine
which team shall be the winner.
Each has lost some of It's best
players since 1893, and the change in
rules will have the same effect on each.
This year The captains OF the rival
elevens have attempted in every way,
to conceal their rue strength, for they
have not attempted any new tricks in
public, and they have frequently
played substitutes for Obvious reasons.
If there is to be any strategy Harvard
will undoubtedly excel. Lorin Deland,
whose successful tricks two wears ago
IRE not forgotten, has not missed
watching the Harvard candidates n
day, md at every game he has
been n familiar figure on the field,
| rs he follows up the crimson eleven
with notebook and pencil in hand.
That he has made use of his notes can
only be surnised, for no u will tell
| what has transpircd in secret practices
Yale has had, on the other hand, a
multitude of coachers. Nearly ull of
the famous players who have played on
the Yale eleven during the past two or
three years have spent some time at
New Haven and strengthened tenn
play and individual weakness. iale's
prestige in foot ball counts for
n great deal, and SO disinterested
parties are, rs usual, found in favor OF
the blue eleven, and not until Harvard
wins again will the sentiment change.
Last years defeat was II great blow to
the crimson's supporters, for there was
II general feeling of confidence in the
eleven more manifest than in previous
years, This year such Il feeling has
not developed to any great extent,
while, of course. Yale expects to win as
usual. There is, however, nearly q
week left and the developments during
the next few days may change the as
pect.
