REcE1vED WIrH SURPRISE.



| Contest is Good Thing.
Boston, June 6.-The news of chal-
lenge from England as published this
| morning caused considerable comment
surprise, because Harvard men
thought that the American team should
be the challenger. since oxford won
from Yale last year. The Mott Haven
men who were seen all thought an in
ternational contest an excellent thing
to arouse athletics at Harvard. But if
would seem that a meeting this year
will be almost impossible, especially
since the English universities would
prefer to have it take place next Sep
tember.
Professor Ames, chairman of the
athletic committee, was seen, but de-
clined to express an opinion in regard
to the matter since the Harvard
authorities have not as yet received a
formal challenge from England.
In the first place 1t will be three
weeks before the formal challenge is
received and acted upon by the ath-
lellC 0OmnlLLee. by lHdL tlIle all LH6
men who were on the Mott Haven team
this year will be outpf training. Most
Of them will have scattered for the
summer But few would consent to
hard summers training. The challenge
has awakened a new interest at Har-
ward, which will undoubtedly give ath-
letics there good push 1t may be
that international contests will help
subdue the overpowering rivalry that
has gradually grown between Harvard
and Yale
The action Of the advisory commit
tee is looked forward to with considera-
BILE enthusiasm.
Philadelphia, June 6.-President Ken
drick Of the intercollegiate Athletic
association to-day stated that letter
is now on it's way to this country from
MIR. Jackson Of the Oxford GIngland)
stating why Oxford and
have refused to meet, in
the winners Of the recent
intercollegiate championships Mr..
Kendrick has called a meeting of the
executive committee of the Inter-col-
legiate Athletic association in New
York ON Tuesday, when the letter which
will then have been received, will be
discussed.

pulled me on the raft. Shortly after

we captured it, 1t was long time be-

drank until they became worse than
intoxicated One lay down and went to
sleep, but the other insisted upon quar-
relling and finally attacked me. To
save my life had to knock him over

pulled him aboard again. He began
drinking harder than ever and finally
fell over and was drowned, After his
companion awoke he behaved himself

added:
There was absolutely no discipline,

Advocate an Ordinance Restricting Future
/ Investigations Committee ON Ordinance
Want Special Appropriation to Visit
Other Cities in search OF suitable Fem
ders.
Mayor Albert c. Hendrick, having,ful-
ly recovered from his recent severe at
tack of rheumatism. presided over the
deliberations of the members OF the
board of finance at their regular June
meeting last evening The only mem-
bers Of the board absent were Aldermen
Keyes and Parish.
The principal business of the evening
was the discussion over the propriety
of paying the bills Incurred during in
vestigations of city officials The sub
ject was sprung upon the meeting by
| the appearance Of Health Officer
| Wright, who was present to advocate
| the payment of his bill and that OF
| Ward Bailey, clerk of the board Of
health, for expenses incurred in defend
| ing themselves against Bthe charges Of
| malfeasance in office brought against
| them by Walter S, Swayne, am ex-gar-
bage contractor The bills in question
amount to about S400.
Councilmen Dewell argued that the
bills ought to be paid I'M accordance
with the precedent established by for
Imer boards of finance, but said that this
indiscriminate manner of ordering i'm
vestigations ought to stop right here
and now, and Favored the passage OF an
ordinance to that effect. Like senti-
merts We're expressed by Councilman
Rourke and several other members of
the board, after which 1t was voted to-
pay the bills already contracted and to
urge the court of common council to
pass an ordinance restricting future in
vestigations incidentally the question
of paying Of the expenses incurred by
Police Commissioner Daniel S. Gilhuly
during the recent investiga tion came
up, and the general sentiment was that
the bill would be approved and ordered
paid BY the city financiers when it
should be presented.
Councilman III. d. GrinnelI, member
of the committee on ordinances, to-
which committee was referred the qlies-
tion of securing Tenders for the electric
cars, appeared before the board and
advocated the appropriation by the
board Of finance of $3.50 to be used to
pay the expenses of the committee in
visiting other cities where tenders are
in use, so as to decide upon the best
fender to recommend for use in this
city.
The members of the board of finance
did not apparently take very kindly to
the proposition although one Of the

A Remarkable Snake story,

Here is snake story from Tavarez,
Fla. The town has been invaded by q
great army of rattlcsnakes. No woman
or child dare venture out of doors.
The men only go out in the daytime,
AMI then wearing thick leather leg
gings reaching above the knee, and
armed with clubs to fight the rattlers.
Every dog in the place, and not few
of the horses apd other domestic ami
mails, have been killed by the snakes.
Fortunately, none of the inhabitants
have been killed, but many are the
narrow escapes they have had. 1t il
reported that altogether 400 snakes
have been killed, and their number
does not seem to be at all diminished.
The City Council has voted an appro
priation for the determination of the
reptiles. 1t is not stated SO in the dis
patch, but it would seem that the
town must have been preparing for q
grand fishing excursion. an6 had laid
In bait by the tank. 1t would be i'm
possible otherwise tc explain how the
whole community had such bad at
tack of snakes. Certainly the season
has not produced another story t.
equal it. New Orleans Pioayune.

HENRY MOSLER. ARTIST.
Ouce upon a CO

broken in its success, and has recently
brought him back TO America to settle
with a consciousness of work well done
and we'll rewarded. When Mr. Mosler
departed for Europe the Dusseldorf
school was in its glory. and he went
straight to that center of German
thoroughness and sentiment. He found
much there that established him in his
art. but it was not long before the in
fuence OF Paris began to move him, and
he proceeded to the French capital. He
entered the atelier of Hebert, the man
whose refined and stately style was for
some years the presiding example at
the Villa Medicis in Rome. Mr.. Mosler
profited by the thoughtful strain in his
master He fixed himself in the path
to which he had gravitated from the be-
ginning, a path in which nothing was
ever thought worth doing unless it
served a serious purpose. He came back
to America with a profound distaste for
chic. for fragmentary and aimless
sketching He brought an equally pro-
found enthusiasm for well-pondered
compOsitions. In 1874 he returned to
Europe, but for some reason or other
the Partisan air was not as attractive
as before, and he became PilOty's pupil
in Munich settling in the Bavarian city
for three years. At the end of that time
his earlier feelings were revived and he
went back to Paris. He has lived in
that city. exhibiting at the Old Salon
and winning honOrs there, until only the
other day, when he came back to New
York.
TO recapitulate here Mr.. Moslers rec
ompenses abroad would be n dry and
useless task; but there is one honor
which ii is necessary to mention, for ref
srence to it brings back the memory OF
his best work. This picture, LIE Re
tour" was first shown in the Salon in
1879. The government espied it and pur-
chased It for the Luxembourg. 1t was
the first time an American artist had
been so honored. The chances of adj
mission to the anteroom of the French
Pantheon were slight for painter from
this country 1t was only of late years
that the policy which has admitted
whistler Sargent. Macmonnies, Alexan-
der Harrison, and W.T.. Dannat has been
I'm favor. When Mr.. Mosler's picture was
purchased it was i'm recognition of GER
tain good qualities which at all times
are rare. His art is not a brilliant one,
but it is sound. 1t is based first of all
on the most admirable of artistic data,
that a picture should have not only the
charm of color and personal character,
but Ineligible form, ineligible con-
| structiOn.

1t isn't often that a cow gets drunk

it, and his language is as follows: 1T

cow went wrong all of a sudden. In
stead of giving her ten or fifteen quarts
Of milk day she dropped to three. and
seemed to do nothing but lie around in
the pasture. Harm thought she was
pretty sick and sent for a COW doctor.
He come and looked at her and said
that he reckoned that there wasn't
much the matter with her, and told
Harm to watch her for a couple OF
days and he'd drop in again. Harm
watched her and found that she was
In terrible state next morning. but
after being turned out for a couple of
hours she got kinder frisky and
pranced around in great shape; then
she went and laid down in the shade
vi the DARN ana looked like she "dS
dead for hours.
He kept watching her, and when she
got up he followed her as she stag
gered over to the corner of the lot, and
then he saw the cause of the whole
business. The COW was on spree
a regular old bat. Harms old woman
had been trying scientific experiment
in keeping winter apples and it wasn't
success. She had sorted out four
barrels of rotten apples and the oldest
boy had carried them out of the cell
lar and dumped them over the fence
into the pasture lot. The COW found
them and went on a four days drunk.
She'd eat until she was booty and then
lay down.
When she got up feeling rocky
she'd just go and get hair of the same
dog that bit her. Most anybody that
has ever had dose of hard cider can
sympathiZe with that COW. When
Harm told me about it | said he'd bet
ter give her bromide for her nerves.
He covered up the rotten apples, and
after a couple of days of distress the
COW came back to her milk.
