Ths Englishmen Are Inclined to Regard

Not since 1889, when the Henley re
gstta was instituted, has foreign crew
ever won the Grand Challenge Cup.
This trophy is recognized as the blue
ribbon of the rowing world The visi.
tors Challenge Cup, of secondary i'm
portance at the Henley regatta, was
won in 1878 by the Columbia College
crew. That is the only victory of note
svcr accomplished by Americans at
Henley.
Englishmen are constitutionally chary
about giving praise to anything or any
ana OF foreign extraction, and their fa-
vorable criticism is doubly remarkable
for the reason that up to the first spin
sf the Yale men on the water their
chances Of landing the coveted prize
were not seriously considered. The
English experts were prepared to find
all manner of fault with the body, leg,
and arm work Of the visitors, and it
was huge surprise to them when they
discovered the smooth, even and pow
srful stroke, every muscle of the eight
men working in unison, and each man

That corporations and operators
are heartless is demonstrated by the
devastation now in progress at Stock

of the land owners and the lessees
was one of the most progressive com
munities in the anthracite coal field.
The houses formerly occupied by
employees will soon be torn down

The best criterion Of the strength of
any organisation is It's numerical great
ness on an occasion Of its annual meet
ing. No convention the world over has
ever attracted the numbers which those
of recent years Of the Young Peoples
Society OF Christian Endeavor have
succeeded in doing. Sixty thousand
visitors swamped Boston last year when
the hosts of the Endeavor met in that
city, and rs each year has marked
tremendous increase In the attendance,
$4,000 is considered conservative es-
innate of the number at Washington
this year.

z. Clark who as minister of the Will

Christian Endeavor Society, took this

There is NO lovelier valley on the conti-
nent than the one through which the upper
Delaware river runs from Hancock in Della
ware County TO the Delaware Water Gap
and for some distance below. At Hancock
where the river is the union Of its two main
tributaries, the East and West branches as
they are called, the lovely scenery in no
wise disappears. The East branch is as
picturesque and romantic as one can ina
gine. Its banks are largely wooded and the
steep hillsides are perpetual picture Of all
that is most charming
Several miles up the river from Port Jer-
Wis is a small village called Sparrowbush.
Its principal industry is large tannery
which has been in successful operation for

SPOKE of a rather remarkable cure which
had recently been effected in this village, in
the family of neighbor and as the case bore
a strong resemblance to that of friend in
the city, the story was carried to him. 1t
was so remarkable that the writer, TO please
his friend, undertook to look it up and verify
it, if that could be done. This was made
easy from the fact that other interests called
him very near the location where the cure
had been performed.

the past IA years. Mrs Lozier was at home,
with her children, in pleasant cottage on
the main street of the village. Introducing
ourselves, we stated the nature of our errand,
that I'VE had heard of n remarkable cure in
her family and that we would esteem il a
favor if she would kindly give us the facts
in the case. A bright eyed little miss,
apparently about 13 years of age, was look
ing rather curiously at u.s. o faint smile
creeping over her face as the mother point
ing TO her said:
"That is the patient. She does not look
like an invalid now, does she?"
Inviting us to be seated, Mrs. Lozier told
us the following story, which, as nearly as
possible, we give in her own words.
Alameda, my daughter was 13 years OF
age on the 25th of March last and was taken
sick on that day. As nearly as we could
tell, the trouble seemed to be some in6am-
nation of the bowels, kidneys and perhaps
seemed TO battle our physician completely
and the child grew steadily worse.
"At the end of 10 days infammatory rheu-
matism set in and dropsy also, causing her
the most intense suffering. She became
very badly bloated. For nearly two months
the poor child was bandaged in cotton from
head to foot. We had four physicians and
they called a fifth and then held consulta.
tion. At the close of this, their conclusion
was that the child would never be able to
leave her bed alive-that death was only u
matter Of few days.
by this time the glands of her neck had
become greatly swollen and she coughed
night and day. She also became so greatly
emaciated that | do not think she would
have weighed 40 pounds. Her lower limbs
seemed partially, nearly wholly, paralyzed
she could not use them at all. We had
practically given up all hope, the physi-
clans had discontinued their visits and we
were simply waiting for death.
"On the evening of July 11th, while watch
ing by her bedside, decided to give her a
dose Of DIR. Will, ms Pink Pills, as / had
recently been reading of some remarkable
cures by this remedy. l gave her dose Of
them at once, but | confess with only grain
of faith in their efficacy-I had absolute. y
no hope of a cure. The next day she was no
worse, if anything a little better and con.
tinued the Pink Pills, now having some
faint hopes. To make a long story short,
continued this wonderful remedy and as You
see, the girl is well, apparently as well as
ever"

The Coliseum is easily the largest
building under a single roof in the
world. The trusses span els feet at
their base and At thsir apex are nearly
ZOO feet from ths fioor.
The Coliseum occupies five and a
half acres of ground between Sixty.
second and Sixty-third streets, and is
bounded on the east by Grace aveaue
and ON the west by the tracks of the
Illinois Central Railroad. The Illinois
Cmtral has a station at Sixty-third
stzset, and has built special Coliseum
sfhtion at Sixty-second street, with
stops leading directly into one of the
moin entrances.
OF the many national conventions
that have been held here, not one has
been provided with a hall which met
II the requirements of such gather
ing. The wigwam in which Lincoln
was nominated, and the one in which
Cleveland swept away all opposition
wera large enough, but every other re-
quirement was wanting. Oratory loses
all its charms when streams of water
from leaky roof are pouring down the
auditor's neck, as was the case in 1899.
The Auditorium, in which General
Harrison was nominated, was unfin-
ished at the time, but it could not ac-
commodate half the people who thought
they had right to be present on such
momentous occasion.

Dig down to the cause of your
sickness, if you want to get well and
stay we'll. Most likely its Indigestion
The irritating poisons of fermenting,
putrid food, left in the stomach by
indigestion, cause headache, neuralgia
nervousness, dizziness, stomach-ache,
nausea, irritability, and all the other
well-known symptoms Of Indigestion.
They also cause many pains and
disorders which are often laid to other
causes and hence are not easily cured.
But as soon as the poisons are remoo-
ed, all these symptoms and disorders
disappear, because there is nothing
left to cause them. Nothing succeeds
in this like Shaker Digestive Cordial,
because it bre0entS the undigested
food from fermenting in the stomach
and helps the stomach to digest its
food.

If red, white and blue paper can be Sc

is pretty if the colors are alternated at
the tail. With four. foot kite flag
over six feet in length can be sent up,
and as it floats hundreds Of feet in the

In the evening q chinese lantern in
place of the flag is very pretty, bobbing
through the dark, and colored lights
may be set off. As the kite is invisible,
1t is rather puzzle to onlookers how
fireworks are produced SO high in the
air.
To get the oolored lights cut open q
number of Roman candles and take out
the color balls. Then take a piece of
fairly stiff wire and bend it, as in d.
leaving long end, C, free. With an
occasional twist carry the fuse up d,
down b, up a, down Q, and fasten.
Then take each candle ball and a little
loose powder, and with piece of paper
or light cloth wrap about the wire and
fuse, as in Fig. 4, fastening the ends
with bit of thread. Put four on each
wire, with two on the middle cross wire.
taking care that they are not so close
together that the burning of one will
fire the others. Light the free end of
the fuse when the kite is started, and
you Will have the highest fireworks in
town.

BOY SHEDS HIS SKIN.

The case'of John Allen, an Swear old
boy of this place, is puzzling the ply
sicians. Six weeks ago an orange
thorn penetrated the boys hip, infiam-
nation followed, and the boy was soon
horribly swollen from head to foot.
Finally the swelling subsidized, but the
boy Immediately began to shed his
skin. That on the face came off sep
aratelybut from the neck down the GU
ticle remained intact, and moved off
by the way of the hands and feet with
out breaking. The cuticle was five
days in passing off, and during that
time the boy remained on the bed,
wriggling Ikea snake at moulting time.
The child seemed to be in no pain, but
complained of a tickling sensation and
of a crawling of the flesh. When the
cuticle had been shed the boy immedi-
ately recovered, and is now as well
as ever. The skin which was shed is
on exhibition at a physicians office.
1t is a perfect cast of the human form
from the neck down, and is about the
consistency of hard glue, which it much
resembles.

Texas Man in the Educational Field.

DIR. Geo. T.. Winston, recently
elected president of the University
OF Texas, has shown his remark
able order Of intellect from the
time he was student at the Hor-
ner school at Oxford, N. c., where
he stood first in scholarship. He
graduated first in his class at Cor.
nell University. AS professor Of
Latin, and subsequently as presi-
dent of the University of North
Carolina, he merited the very high
est place Of honor the old north
state could confer. North Caro-.
lina's university made more rapid
strides under the presidency Of
Geo. L. Winston than under that of
any other man in it's history, and
under him the University of Texas
has a brilliant future. Patrick
Henry Winston, son of President
Winston, a lad of IA years, reflects
the same high order of intellect,
standing pre-eminently first in his
class at the HOrner school where
his father more than a quarter OF
century stood first.
