cred around a semi-circular hole in the
ground and witnessed the record breaking.
Before the day was over he had four
worlds records to his credit, according to
the judges of the affair.
Carroll threw the eight, twelve, sixteen
and twenty-one pound hammers against
the record for each, and every time he
came out victorious. Robert Edgren, the
Berkeley University athlete, threw with
him, not in contest, but as a matter of
comparison, and he, too, broke records,
although none can be allowed him, as he
IS an amateur.
Carroll's first attempt was with the
eight-pound hammer. The record was for
a single-hand throw without turn, 30
feet inches. His first throw was 200 feet
II inches and his second 212 feet, beating
the record by 81 inches. Edgren threw
and made no feet inches, III feet 2
inches, 176 feet AZ inches and 178 feet u
inch.J
With the 12-pound hammer, against a
record of 164 feet 2 inches, for a single
hand throw, Carroll made 155 feet 10
inches, 1853 feet 81 inches, 1853 feet and 165
feet 81 inches. Edgren beat the amateur
mark of 124 feet by an even 10 feet.
The record for the 16-pounder was
equally frail in CAROLS hand. 1t was 123
feet 6A inches with one hand and a turn.
Carroll, with one hand and without a turn,
made first 129 feet IL inches and then 132
feet 3A inches. Edgren made 112 feet 8
inches against the amateur record of lis
feet.
With the 21-pound hammer Carroll made
80 feet inches against the record of 80 feet
inches.
All the records broken were made with
one hand, and, with the two heavier
weights, with turn. Carroll made his
marks all standing and with one hand.
He stood on the edge of the semi-circular
hole, and swinging the hammer deep into
it he would, after three or four whirls,
launch it out over the field at just the
proper angle. Only twice did he make a.
fiuke. Once he struck the side of the hole,
and in his last throw the wire handle
parted with the force of the last whlrl, and
while he held the iron ring still in his
hand the leaden hammer-head flew off
over the grass nearly as far as his previous
throw.
The judges of the throws were D. R. Nc
Neil and James Duncan, of the Caledonian
Club, and John Elliott of the Olympic
Climb

Though the charge is of course based on
the violation of the revenue laws, it is the
principle involved, mainly, that led to
the watch that finally solved the mystery.

THE VENDETTA LEAGUE,
Preliminary Examination of S. A.
Mclean Fixed for Next
Tuesday.
The Police Are Satisfied He Wrote the
Matchmaking Letter to
WeStover.

S. A. Mclean of the Vendetta League
of the United States" appeared in Judge
Conlan's court yesterday, to answer TO the
charge of felony in attempting to extort
money from D. L. Westover, secretary of
the Sonoma Lumber Company, 319 Pine
street. At the request of the defendant s
attorneys the case was continued till next
Tuesday.
The police believe that there is no even
delta League of the United States" and
that it only existed in the brain of Mclean,
who adopted that means of frightening
Westover into giving up the $500 de-
manded in the bloodcurdling letter sent
to Westover.
They place no credence in McLean's
statement that he obtained the letter from
a man On Saturday, whom he had met sew
eral times after his friend Meddaugh left
for Guatemala eff this story were true -
said Detective Bohen yesterday, why
didn't he take the letter to Westover him
self, as the office was just block from
where he was rooming? 1t Is the same old
story, and won't work.
1.-The letter is not written, but the letters
IN it are in the old English-lettering style,
which shows an attempt to disguise the
hand. We have specimens of Mclean S
handwriting and several OF the letters in
the sheet sent to Mr.. Westoyer bear close
resemblance to them. But that will be
for experts to decide when the case
comes up.
MCLEAN was so hard up that he did not
have money to pay the messenger for
taking the receipt to Westover on Monday
and his landlady had to pay him."
Mclean still sticks to his story of getting
the letter from the casual acquaintance on
Saturday. On being asked why he did not
take it to Westover himself when he knew
him so well he said the man simply told
him to take it to 319 Pine street without
mentioning any name, and as he cannot
read without his glasses. which he did not
have with him, he did not know what
name was on the envelope.

AN ADDRESS,.
GEORGE E. WEREE, ESQ.,.
OF LAUREL.

Delivered at the Lodge of Sorrow held
under the auspices of Centennial Lod ge
at Upper Marlboro, May Both, 1895.
H'orshiptM Master and Brethren:
We are assembled, in the expressive
| language of our Ritual, ITO honor the
memory of those brethren whom death
| hath taken from us, to contemplate our
own approaching dissolution, and by the
| remembrance of Immortality to raise our
souls, above the considerations of this tran
STORY existence"
subject at once so wide in its scope, so
vast i'll its proportions, SO portentious of
| good or ill in its outlines, might well wish
that to some more skilful craftsman had
been assigned the duty of breaking in upon
| that golden silence, which SO well becomes
the theme, with the baser metal of human
speech The solemn and impressive cere-
monies of this hour, form fitting and
graceful tribute from Centenni ial Lodge to
| its departed brethren. A Tribute of lOvin q
remembrance from the living to the dead,
! from the workmcn still lin and about the
| temple,' to those of the craft whose la
| borS ended have laid them down to rest,
| in that sleep which knows no waking.
They no longer heed the sound of the
! gavel, no longer see the sign, eXchan g e
the friendly grip, or speak the mystic word.
They have wrought out their allotted
time and have finished their work If it
was done according to the designs laid
| down upon our masonic treStle board - if
it was tested by the pl'mb-the square and
the lecei then may we pronounce it good
| work. true work, square work-such as
| will meet the approval of the Heavenly
Master, in that great day, when we shall
all be summoned to render an account of
the deeds done in the flesh. We have not
| with Pagan superstition and a funeral pyre
of costly woods and fragrant spices, en-
deayored to watt their souls to the realms
of eternal bliss on clouds of sweet aroma,
but we have laid them in the silent tomb,
| and they are not forgotten.
| We will call upon the winds to blow
their balmy zephyrs-upon the clouds to
shed their gentle tcars-upon the sun to
shine in softest rays, and upon the birds
to sing their sweetest songs, where rest
our absent brethren, while we will ever
cherish their memories in our hearts, and
as it is the good, men do, which lives after
them, so the good deeds of their lives, the
kind words, the secret aims, the cheering
smile or the sympathetic tear, live after
them, and bless their memories.
We cannot measure the limit or extent
of the influences for good, which even the
least among them may have left behind
| him.
| The poet tells us:
| We may make our lives sublime,
| And departing leave behind us,
| Footprints on the sands OF time,
| Footprints that perhaps another,
| Sailing Ger lifes troubled main,
| torelorn and shipwIecked brother
Seeing shall take heart AGAIN"

WEAK, TIRED, NERVOUS,

Means impure blood,a and overwork or to
much strain on brain and body. The on
ly way to cure is to feed the nerves on
pure blood. Thousands of people certi-
fly that the best blood purifier, the best
nerve tonic and strength builder is Hoods
Sarsaparilla. What it has done for 9th
ers it will also do for you-Hood's Cures.
Nervousness, loss of sleep, loss of ap-
petite and general debility all disappear
when Hoods Sarsaparilla is persistently
taken, and strong nerves, sweet sleep,
strong body, sharp appetite, and in a
word, health and happiness follow the use
of Hoods Sarsaparila.
The strong point about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla is that they are permanent, because
they start from the solid foundation of
purified, vitalized and enriched blood.
