The True End of Amateur Sport.

The True End of Amateur Sport.
We must never cease to remember
that the true end of amateur sport is not
victory, but the thrill of honorably con-
tending for it. Higher than sport, high
er even than physical culture, are self
respect and honesty and courtesy to
others, good manners and morals, and
that generous manliness which is the
spirit of the amateur and the conscience
of the sportsman. When the sports and
recreatiOns of amateurs become the bust
ness Of professionals, then follow
scandal, dishonesty, dissolution. When
the spirit Of gain, either by direct or in
direct methods, is permitted entrance in
our recreatons, they lose their amateur
significance and cease to be heathful.
This is why university athletic COM
mittees and college faculties generally
should never relax their vigilance nor
rest in their efforts until the highest ideal
is established and maintained. We want
healthful rivalry and scientific competi-
ton, but above all we want the highest
tone to rule in our athletic relations.
We want vigorous, healthful sport aud
manly, honest athletes. Hdrper'S Week.

Why one Feels Chilly When
Lying Down.

The reason is simply this. Nature
takes the time when one is lying down
to give the heart rest, and that organ
consequently makes ten strokes less IA
minute than when one is in an upright
posture. Multiply that by sixty min
utes and it is six hundred strokes.
Therefore in eight hours spent in lying
down the heart is saved nearly five
Thousand strokes, and az the heart
pumps six ounces of blood with each
stroke it lifts thirty thousand ounces
less of blood in night of eight hours
spent in bed than when one is in an
upright position. As the blood flows
so much more slowly through the
veins when one is lying down one must
supply then with extra coverings the
warmth usually furnished by circula-
ton.

terests and mine are all in Colorado. To-day
our State is depressed and impoverished. A
brighter future is in store for us, and it will
come, as every other good thing has come to
Colorado, under a Republican administration;
it will come with William Mckinley at the
helm of state.
The campaign upon which we have entered
differs from all those which have preceded it
In many respects, but especially in the delib-
crate effort here and elsewhere to array one
section OF our common country against the
other, and one class of our ellow-cltizens
against other classes. The campaign is con-
Quoted upon the false theory that the people
who labor and the people who are In debt
ought TO unite against the people who do not
labor with their hands, or who labor and own
their own homes; that every man who pos
sesses means is conspirator against the well
fare and happiness OF the man who must rely
upon the fruits of his daily labor; and that in
asmuch as the men are more largely borrowers
of money in the West and South than in the
North and East, therefore the sections are en-
gagged in bitter and violent war for suprem-
acy, the interests of one being diametrically
opposed 10 those of the other.
1t is wicked to endeavor to install into the
minds of the people in any one section the
opinion that those of another are either cor
rupt CT unpatr1otic in the views they hold on
the money question. We in Colorado are
honest in the unanimous opinion we hold the
citizens of New England and PENNSYLVANIA
and Ohio and other Northern and Eastern
States are equally honest in their views, and
thereshould be only condemnation of the incen-
diary newspaper utterance OF the journals of
either section which seek, in order to attract
local subscribers, to Willy ana misrepresent
and abuse the citizens of the other

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 15.-The Port
land Daily Press has received returns from
415 towns, cities and plantations in Maine.
These returns are practically complete for
the counties of mberland, York, Andros-
coggin, Oxford, Franklin, Knox, Waldo,
Piscataquis, Kennebec and Somerset. In
the other five counties there are some re-
mote plantations which make up the miss
ing precincts.
The returns of these AIS cities, towns and
plantations give for Governor: Llewellyn
Powers (R.), 7S, ,295; NJ. P, Frank (D.), 81
900; L. C. Bateman (P.l, 2743; A. S. Ladd

576. Powers plurality from these AIS
towns is &C. 3S7.
In 1894, which was the avalanche year
when the Republicans supposed they had
reached their high-water mark, the same
towns gave Cleaves (R.) 65, ,367; johnson
CD, %, 354; Bateman (P.), 5614; Hersey
(Pro.), 2524. Cleaves' plurality, 7,013.
Cleaves' total plurality was 38,S17.
This shows ratio of increase in the re-
naming towns which will make Powers
plurality above $4,000.
Full returns from the First District give
Thomas B. Reed 10474 plurality over
Staples (D.). Congressman Dingley's pIu-

NEW YORK, N. T., Sept. 15.-Among
the callers at the Republican National
headquarters to-day were Hon. John w.
Vrooman OF this city, president of the
Mutual Reserve Life Insurance Com pany.
He was enthusiastic over the result in
Maine. He said the question is now prac-
tically settled so far as the East is con-
cerned. Vermont drove the nail as well
as Maine has clinched it solid. The moral
effect of the Maine election will be very
great, but we must not rest upon it nor
relax our efforts.
Ex-Congressman w. D. Bynum con-
ferred this morning wit General Tracey
and other prominent politicians. He will

Hon. Matthew Quay was expected to ar
rive in the city to-day, but did not put in
an appearance.
No news was given out this afternoon at
the Democratic headquarters at the Bar
tholdi Hotel.
Mark Hanna is expected in this city to-
morrow or next day. e-PresidentiaI
Candidate Hobart was at the Republican
headquarters this afternoon. He said that
the Maine election somewhat surprised
him. Instead of $4,000 majority he antici-
pated only $4,000.
Affairs were quiet to-day at the Repub-
lican State headquarters in the Fifth

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 15.-Chair-
man Babcock of the Republican Congress
sional Committee this afternoon gave out
the following statement on the Maine
election:
1.-THE result of the election in Maine will
be of very great value to all business and
financial interests at this time. 1t will re-
store confidence in financial circles not
only in this country, but throughout the
world. We looked for large majority in
Maine, but hardly expected it to be equal
TO the plurality given in 1894, when so
many Democrats refused to vote; but it
has exceeded that plurality by about 80
per cent, and no one can for a moment
doubt that this vote in Maine indicates
the sentiment of the great Northeastern
States. The States where there are large
manufacturing and agricultural interests,
the States whose people read and have an
intelligent voting population, will, in my
opinion, Join the procession and follow
the lead set by Vermont and Maine.
'The key of the situation in a campaign
is to determine which way the tide is
setting. This, il is often extremely difficult
to do. Two years ago at this time, after
the Oregon, Vermont and Maine elections,
/ recognized and claimed that they were
indicative of the sentiment of the whole
country, and stated that l believed that
that practically settled the contest; and
my opinion and prediction were fully
borne out by the result in November. This
year the maiorities in Vermont and Maine
are much more pronounced and larger
than they were two years ago, and from
this can draw only one conclusion, as
have said before, and that is that the great
manufacturing and agricultural States
will follow the example set by Vermont

DARING EXPRESS ROBBERY.
Two MASKED Men Perform Neat Piece of
Work at West Point and Make
Their EscuDe.

MEMPHIS, TENN, Sept. ia special
from West Point, Miss, gives information
OF a daring express robbery at that place
early this morning. 1t states that Just as
the express-wagon drove UP to the office
door to unload matter received from the
northbound Mobile and Ohio train, at 2
A. M, two masked men stepped from
around the corner and covered the driver
and night clerk with pistols, ordering
them to throw up their hands. They did
so, and were then ordered into the express
Office and commanded to open the safe.
After securing such plunder as they could
the robbers ordered the express force to
precede them into the darkness and down
the street in their front. After getting
out OF danger the express attaches were
dismissed and told to hustle back to town.
The amount of booty secured has not yet
been ascertained.

that a large number OF Democrats re-

cratic gubernatorial candidate. proclaimed
from every stump in the State that he
wou moi support the Chicago nominee if
he happened to be gold man on so

wise. He smiled his satisfaction at the
increased plurality and inquired for the
latest figures.
Mr.. Hanna will return home next Sat-
urday, remaining in Cleveland until Mon
day morning, when he will go to New
York to be at headquarters there week
or ten days. Then he will come back to
Chicago and stay at his desk here until it
is necessary for him to go to Cleveland to
vote. He will receive the news in Cleve-
land.
When asked to-day as to the tenor of
the reports he has been receiving from the
Central Western States Mr.. Hanna said
they showed an improved condition in
Minnesota. There was nothing discour-
aging in Illinois for the party but there
was close fight in Kansas and Nebraska
and those States were likely to remain
doubtful to the end. The Republicans
from Northern and Central Indiana were
very favorable.
When he returned from New York Mr..
Hanna said he would give some figures as
to probable results in the States, but it
was too early now.

Senator WoIcott Makes Telling Speech
at Colorado Springs.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Sept 15
Senator e. o. Wolcott delivered his first
speech this evening. He was given
a big reception. Upon his arrival he
was greeted by large crowd and escorted
to the hotel, where he made brief speech
from balcony.
AT the Coliseum this evening 1000 peo-
pie crowded in TO hear him and an over
flow meeting was held in the North Park.
Free excursions were run from Denver and
other cities, bringing in several hundred
people. Alter dwelling upon local issues
and the importance to Colorado of protec-
ton and an arraignment of the Chicago
platform the Senator spoke as follows:
From the tumble and farrago of the Chicago
platform, with its Populist appendage, turn 10
the Republican platform at ST. Louis. Except
on the silver question, the party never stood
more squarely for everything which we in
Colorado, who have always voted the Republi-
can ticket, have held most dear. The candi-
date OF the convention, high-minded, able,
distinguished both as soldier and states
man, clean, upright and of wide experience is
an ideal American.
So much OF the platform as relates to silver
is unsatisfactory TO us who live in Colorado
We wish all Republicans could see this vital
monetary question as we do, and that this
great party, which on all other questions af-
iecting the welfare of mankind has stood for
the masses against the classes, could have in
sisted on the restoration of silver TO its old
place as standard of value
The majority of the convention thought
otherwise, however; it declared only for BIZ
metallism by international agreement. and
pledged the party TO every effort to secure this
agreement This pledge will be sacredly kent.
and l have for myself every belief that
through the efforts of the Republican marry
this result will be attained.
The day of silver is coming It is nv serious
and solemn opinion that the full recognition
of silver will come soon, that it win come
through the efforts and under the direction OF
the Republican party, in which the conserya.

and that IL will never come through the
