THE OOAOH'S ASSISTANT.
A Machine Invented to Direct TIL
Oarsman's Stroke.

StrOkes
"Coach's assistant" is the name which
ought to be given to device invented by
Walter b. Peet, which, he says, has already
proved its value as monitor to developing
| oarsmen, and he hopes may result in revo-
lutionizing the stroke in shell racing
'Stroke recorder" is the name fixed upon
it by the Patent Office, which has already
granted letters securing Mr.. Peet in the
ownership of the device.
Mr.. Peet, as coach of the Columbia Var
slty crew for many years, has had abund-
ant opportunity to test the merit of his
invention. This seems to be combination
of cogged clock wheels propelling a swing
ing arm, in which is fixed pencil. The
pencil point rests upon broad roll of
paper like the tape of stock ticker. The
oar, working in specially designed swivel
lock, presses button, which commune
Gates with the cog wheels, impelling them
with a steady motion wholly governed by
the amount of muscle expended by the
oarsman. The waves in the line marked
on the tape disclose the force of this mus
pert oarsman expends a uniform force. and
a ragged line Just SO far as his power is ex-
erted unequally or in Jerks.
BY study of this tape the trainer can see
just where his pupil lacks. If it is only the
raggedness incident to beginner, practice

may result from deficiency of some partic-
ular muscle, in which case it is the trainer 8
business to pay special attentioa to the de-
velopment of that muscle. Again, the
strokes of the several men selected to man
boat may be compared and inequalities
of their Joint efforts detected, with the re-
suit of giving such special care to the weak
points as will give to the swing, dip and
recovery of the entire crew that oneness
which wins races even though the indi-
vidual oarsmen may be weaker men than
their competitors. The device is designed
to bring about such a collective stroke as
well expend all available muscle at exactly
the right time and in exactly the right
place.-New York Times

OBJECTED TO BOOMERS.

The LandIady Would Not Allow Her
Boarders to Wear the Dress at Table.
Hard and awful to contemplate are the
trials that the new woman has to put up
with-that is, that particular type of the
new woman who doesn't like to wear skirts
and prefers knickerbockers at most times
and places, says the New York World. In
England the boarding house landladies are
very much aroused over the subject and
are thinking of forming an association to
rule out all women who wear what is
known in the words of the day as rational
dress"
In this country there is an interesting
anecdote, with its scene laid in Ann Arbor,
Mich, relating TO one of the college girls
who was very much advanced"
There was girl staying at one OF the
boarding-houses in the village who per-
sisted in wearing trousers that were more
| masculine even than "bifurcated skirts"
This attire disturbed the landlady in
tensely, and in fearful tones she pleaded
with the young woman to discard the dis
| tasteful garments. But the girl was put
upon her mettle and resisted the land
lady's pleas until that wrathfui individual
came out with the following ultimatum:
~ ou cannot eat at my table and wear
boomers at the same time"
1t is not correct for the .'new woman to
weep, and therefore the knickerbockered
girl shed no tears. At the very next meal
| that was served, however, the other board
ers noticed that she wore skirt. Imme-
dlately after dinner she took it off and five
| minutes later was seen parading down the
streets IN masculine garments once more.
But the landlady has carried her point,
and blfurcated garments are not at such a
premium IN Michigan as they were.

DIVIDED THE0SOPH|sTS,
A New American Section Is
Authorized by Presi-
dent O1cott.
THE GOLDEN GATE BRANCH.
Loyal Fellows Reorganize and In
corporate Under the State
Law.

Theosophists in this City and on the
coast have been hanging upon an irregular
edge of uncertainty for the past two
months. This uncertainty has been the
result of the secession of w. Q. Judge and
his followers in convention at Boston,
April q and 90.
Those branches of the American section
that were loyal to the Thesophical Society
as represented by President-founderO lcott,
Nine. Blavatsky and Annie Besant seem
to have given themselves the least worry
over the matter, vet all the theosOphists
have been anxious to know how the action
of the Boston convention would be re-
ceived by President Olcott. If he should
have approved that action it would have
been an Endorsement of General Secretary
Judge and disapprovai OF Annie Besant
in the controversy between those two
fellows of the Theosophical Society, which
originated the disaffection in the branches
of the American section.
But President Olcott did not approve the
action OF the Boston convention. His
ruling in the matter has been received in
the form OF circular, in which he declares
cancelled the diplomas OF all fellows who
have or may stand by the secession act.
President Olcott says that he will issue
new charter for an American section of
the Theosophical Society. and to carry
into effect the notice given he has APP
pointed Alexander Fullerton, FITS, of
New York, Mrs. Kate Burlington Davis,
FITS, of Minneapolis, George E. Wright,
FITS. of Chicago, and William John
Walters, FITS, OF San Francisco special
committee to collect and forward to him
all petitions and resolutions pertaining to
this business, to have charge of all Ameri-
can affairs pending the issue of a section
charter, and as presidential agents to SUI
pervise the proper organization of the new
American section of the Philosophical So
ciety.
This circular was issued the 5th inst
from Zumarraga, Spain.
Within the past week the loyal fellows
of the Golden Gate Branch of this City, the
Oldest on the coast, have incorporated
under the laws of the State and retained
the name.
Shortly after the reunion of the Boston
convention Alexander Fullerton was Sc
lected by the loyal branches as general

A PRISONERS LADDER.
Used for Climbing Out and Back When
He Visited His Sweetheart.

Used for Climbing Out and Back When
He Visited His Sweetheart.
Warden Patten of the Indiana prison
south at Jacksonville has now on exhi-
bltlon one of the most remarkable con-
trlvances of a prisoner that ever came into
his collection. 1t is a ladder made of
thousands of small pieces of twine, threads,
cords and rope, such as a convict would
secretly collect through years of effort.
With the rope Thomas Shepherd used to
climb thirty-foot wall and get out of the
penitentiary-yard night after night to
visit an old sweetheart. He never at
tempted to escape, and, when his ladder
was found one night, he returned before
his absence had been discovered, rang the
bell at the front gate, and surrendered
himself. On his arm he carried rubber
coat, which had been used to conceal his
striped shirt. He wore moccasins over his
shoes.
Shepherd told straightforward story,
so far as it went. He had made the ladder,
he said, in order that he might visit
woman outside the prison. He had gone to
her house only four times, he said. Last
Sunday night, when he returned, he
found his ladder gone from the wall.
and at once he decided to give himself up.
He would not tell the woman's name, but
the prison officials think they have dis
covered her identity. She went from her
home in Sullivan County, Ind, some years
ago to live in JeffersonviIle, near her con-
vict lover.
Shepherd said that he wove his ladder at
night, and that it took him months to
finish it. 1t contained threads strings and
bits of cords of every size, length and color
They were woven, knotted and twisted
skillfully.
Shepherd was sent to prison to serve
life sentence in 1875. A new trial was Sc
cured two years later, and he was recon-
mitted on the same sentence on
April IS, 1873. He has continually petit
toned for executive clemency, and
two years ago his sentence was com
muted to twenty years. He will be re-
leased, consequently, on April IS, 1893.
He was country schoolteacher. One
night at an apple pairing he had
quarrel with a man named Macy
Engle over a girl. Engle had Shepherd ar
rested, and one night, before the case was
tried, Engle was assassifated. Shepherd
was convicted purely on circumstantial
evidence, and has always maintained his
innocence.-Vincennes Sun.

The great tower at Wemble Park is
again in active progress and is rapidly ap-
preaching the completion OF the first stage,
which consists of the construction of a vast
platform 1870 or 200 feet from the ground.
The gigantic framework upon which this
platform is to be laid has long been con-
spicuous object on the top of the bill in
Wembley Park. The cross Orders are now
to be got into position and the concrete
floor formed. This floor will be of enor-
nous area, as may be gathered from the
fact that in the center OF it is to be large
hall, with a floor space of 10000 square
feet, broad promenade running all
around it. The original design contem-
plated also the building of a hotel on this
platform, with ninety bedrooms. Whether
this is likely to be carried out at present
we are not informed. There are to be four
lifts to this first stage and two staircases
One OF the staircases is sufficiently adj
vanced to permit OF the ascent being made
by it, and the lift guides have just been got

ever is completed-is to run up six times

sylvan retreat or reclining lazily in the

sun.
There has been one exception to this
passive appearance of Incidence and de-
generacy unworthy of the traditional en-
erey of wild bison ancestry. The ugliest
looking buffalo in the herd, a creature of
gigantic size, has always been an uneasy,
restless, quarrelsome fellow, terror to his
companions, whom he dominated and
bossed at his own eccentric will. He was
the bully of the walk, as it WERE All 9TH
ers had to bulge at his pleasure and sur
render possession of the softest and
choicest spots in the Enclosure whenever
he chose to demand it. To the keepers he
was known az Bill, and by them he was
dreaded almost as much as by his own as
sociates. With some of the others the
keepers have become tolerably familiar,
but nobody has ever thought of making a
pet of Bill. Like all DULLES, Bill included
among his execrable qualities the twin
vices of selfshness and greed. He was al
ways filling himself with the choicest of
the food, the tenderest grasses, and his
conduct at all times, particularly, it seemed
when crowds of visitors were gazing
through the fences, was such as to disgust
any gentlemanly buffalo.
The keepers noticed early in the morn
ing that Bill was in more than usually
disagreeable mood. He staggered around
