Some Cheering for Cornell.
LONDON. July 10.-The Pail Mall Gazette
says this evening:
There never was such a popular vic
tory in the history of the regatta. Trinity
rowed beautifully together in true varsity
r style. and gradually wore the Yankees
down. The shouting for Trinity as the
crew finished was tremendous. The Cor

rided by the enthusiasts A feeble attempt
to cheer them, however, did not meet with

The Summer Resorts.

The general passenger agents of the
roads leading to summer resorts, aided
and abetted by their Advertising agents
are the greatest promoters Of the unrest
and desire to flee from home that this
country has produced. Every year as
summer approaches, these men begin
the work of sowing discomfort with ia
miliar surroundings, and breaking up
quiet families by sending out thousands
of little books filled with skillfully
written descriptions, set with the most
charming of illustrations of water falls,
forests, mountains, great seaside hotels,
flying trains, luxurious hooks in draw
ing-room cars, tempting meals in din
ing cars, and so on, the sight of which
makes every victim of this conspiracy
instantly want to go. These danger
GUS men produce too many of these
aggravating productions and those
who can't go should not peruse these
tempters.

TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
Edited by the Womans Christian Tenn
perance Union.

The golden rule and the decalogue
have no place in license legislation.
The liquor traffic is the concentrated
essence of crime and idleness.
Judge GrisWold, Of Waukesha coun-
ty, has issued an order under the new
law, authorizing two citizens of the
county TO take treatment at an institu-
ton for the cure of drunkenness, the
expense to be borne by the county. In
Kenosha the VIC. t. U. have made it
possible for ten men to be cured for the
money it would cost to send one to an
institution, and the cure is both safe
and effectual.
The Western Christian Advocate
propounds the following problem,
which is worthy of the thought Of the
political mathematician: +" If it costs
$1,000 a year to carry on a church
which saves five souls every year, and
If a drink shop license holder pays 500
a year for the privilege of running five
souls, how long will it take town hay
ing a population of 5000, with five
churches and fifteen drink shops, to go
to entire ruin"
In the Wisconsin legislature the
cage of Consent" bill, raising the age
from twelve to fourteen years, was
finally passed at the eleventh hour and
the governor gladly gave it his sigma
ture. 1t passed one house at sixteen
years, but the senate would not concur
and it seemed at one time as though
nothing could be done, as neither would
give way, but wiser counsels prevailed.
A bill giving to a majority of city
council-instead ofrequiring two thirds
as heretofore the privilege of granting
licenses, passed both houses, as also a
bill giving half of all license money in
to the school fund. [ am very glad to
announce that these bills were left I'M

Liable to misunderstanding are such
interesting adornments of shop win

not or the tempting notice Of the
dealer in cheap shirts, "They won't
last long at this price," Worse still
was the admonition which appeared in
the window of cheap restaurant:
" Dine here and you will never dine
anywhere else." The viands of this
restaurateur must have been almost as
deadly and unerring in their effect as
the whiskey known in the western
states as " forty -rod," because that
