TRULY sPoRTsMANLIKE.

We notice in the reports that are
given by the Yale men who have re-
turned from Henley a confirmation Of
the statement made in earlier press dis
patches of the absence of any effort to
keep the details of the work and prac-
tlce OF one crew a secret from the
other. Nearly every day." says Mr..
Langford, 'as we would row past the
English lighthouses, they would call to
US and ask us in what time we made
it, and if our time was better than
theirs they would always tell us frank
ly. This brought about a feeling Of
fellowship and increased the friendly
rivalry" And it is calculated to do ex-
actiy that thing. It is the true atti-
tude of sportsmanlike gentlemen, who
are most concerned about fair and
equal contest, and least about the ele-
ment of chance that may be in It,
AS matter of fact, the prevailing Sc
crecy insisted upon Tin this country in
the preliminary work of boat crews has
little justification except as 1t may
stimulate the gambling interest. Those
who want to place bets on one crew or
another desire that the probable result
shall be shrouded In all possible Sc
crecy and doubht. tt is this that fur
nishes the opportunity of the bookmak-
err. If the record of any crew is open
to the day, if the time made on practice
heats is announced, and If 1t is a matter
of common public knowledge what is
the best pace at which any crew has
gone over the courses then the specula-
tive and gambling interest would Ian
guish. Bets could be placed only at
odds, and no crew composed Of gem
tlemen would ever de less than its best
in order to create an opportunity for
the. sporting fraternity.
On the other hand, the AMERICAN
practice does do that very thing and
1t seems to us to have little or no fur
ther justification. 1t cannot be con-
tended that forecast of the result de-
tracts from its interest. Take the very
case in question. The information
c'N oAA0D1C olOWCNsosof2NA lAotiS AOlo say -
that if Yale was to be pftted against
Leander it would probably lose the
race. 1t was SO matched, and it did
lose. But that did not keep away from
the course a single individual of the
shouting. thousands who a.ssembl edsat
Henley, nor did it lessen the interest
felt in the contest In two continents
, On,tl1es contrary,,7it didrtake away from
it the last possible reproach of COM.
tributing an opportunity for betting
which has been a not infrequent re-
preach of such contests upon this side
of the water,
We believe that it would be a great
gain to American sport In every par
tieular, if the example set by the Eng
lishmen at Henley should be followed in
this country. Let every boat crew do
Its work openly; let the trainers cease
to set on foot discouraging reports that
can have no other object than to af-
feet the opinion of outsiders: and let it
be fair and square and above-board
rivalry between friendly crews that
have nothing to conceal. This is one.
Of the most admirable features Of the
Henley race. and we hope that 1t may
appear in all others hereafter.

WHAT WILL BE LEGAL TENDER


Attention is being sharply drawn to
the status of the contracts, notes, bonds
and other obligations that, for some
years past and now almost universally,
are being made payable in gold coin
of the United States" with sometimes
the additional precautfon of the provi-
sion that the coins shall be ''of the
present weight and fneness." This pro-
vision against a possible depreciation
of the silver coins and greenbacks is
made on the supposition that this is
one of the contracts which cannot be
violated by any subsequent fegisla-
ton, and that, whatever changes might
be hereafter made, such contracts
would be enforceable In their specific
terms If this is not true, it becomes
matter of added concern to thousands
and becomes an additional factor in
the issues Of this campaign.
The constitution Of the United States
inhibits the states from passing any
act that will impair the obligation Of
contracts; but, and this is the impor-
tant point, there is no such restriction
imposed on congress. The United
States having only delegated powers,
it was not thought necessary to specify
what they could hot do, and, probably,
1t was not anticipated that congress
would do what had, as a moral ques-
ton. been prohibited to the states. II
then. in its discretion. congress should
make something "a legal tender which
Is of less value than the gold coin In
which the contract Is stipulated to be
paid, and thus materially impair its OBJ
legation. there L. no limit to the use
of such discretion In the forum of law,
whatever there may be in that Of
morals. The question Is what are the
legal tender powers fscongress? What
ever they are, they ere supreme. The
supreme court Of the United States has
already settled them. When the con-
stitutionality OF the legal tender act of
1852. which backed the greenbacks,
came before that court In a case

dalton Of debt payable In specie, It

Derailed by a Buzzard.

AS the mail train on the Pensacola
and Atlantic division of the Louisville
q Nashville railway was bowling along
between Bombay and Caryville,. Fla,
some heavy object struck the head
light, smashing the glass and knock
ing the burner off the lamp. The oil
caught fire, and in an instant the
front of the engine was in flames.
The engineer was alarmed, and re.
versed the lever SO suddenly that the
cars bumped together with great force,
injuring several passengers and de-
railing the engine.
By hard work the flames were ex-
tinguished and then the engine was
examined. 1t was found that a buzz
zard had struck the headlight and
caused the trouble. The bird was
found wedged in the headlight, with
its feathers burned off and thoroughly
cooked. The accident cost the rail-
road several hundred dollars and traf-
flo was delayed for five hours. -Phila-

'.E Pluribus Unum' on Our Coins.

According to the United States mint
officials, the words, "E Pluribus
G.saa1n2; " as they appear on our coins,
are there wIr!t-bagt the sanction of law,
The legend first appearer upon cop
per coin "struck" at the Newburg
New York; mint in the year 1885,
The United States was very young at
that time and could not afford the
luxury of a mint, so private individual
by the name of Brasher opened the
Newburg coming establishment with
the intention of turning out money of
the realm for all corners. Exactly
how the words "E Pluribus Unum"
came to be used as O motto is not
known, but one thing is certain, the
Brasher copper coin bearing that
legend and the date of 1876 is the
most valuable metal disk ever minted
on this continent, being worth about
$4,000, or twice as much as the famous
rare dollar of 1904.
Some time after coming his famous
copper with the odd Latin motto as
above described, Brasher tried his
hand on large-sized gold piece, pro-
ducing the coin known to the numis'
matists as "Brasher's twenty" The
Brasher "twenty" was not 500 gold
piece, however, for it lacked 81 OF
weighing enough; but of late years it
has become very scarce and valuable
because of the fact that the legend in
scribed upon it reads "Unum L
Pluribus," instead of "E Pluribus
Unum." This coin is now valued at
81 500.

Taking Gold From the Sea.

The sea as q whole contains al
enormous quantity of gold, but every
gallon contains quantity expressiblf
chemically only as a trace. Many
years ago patent was taken out fol
securing this precious metal from the
ocean, and more recently another in
ventor has brought out a method thai
for economy in working can scarcely
be surpassed. Plates of iron are to bt
arranged in series with plates of cop
per, and their combined effect wheI
immersed in sea water is to bring abou'
a kind of electrolysis whereby the gold
attaches itself to the copper. Batter
les of this kind are to be placed il
tideways or attached to sea-going ships
and in process of time thick coating
of gold will be deposited. .-Chicagt

Disappointing to go out the next day

Since then it is no trouble at all to

will instantly stop work and run.
It's no use to try and catch him
then.
'But mole is the victim of habit.

Queen of Her Heart.

The little rag doll Ia queen,
Her realm is a maiden's heart,
And there she will reign serene
And play her important part.
A bundle of rags is she,
With collar of scraggly fur;
She's only doll to me,
But more than doll to her.
A doll that l thought prize
gave to the little maid,
That opened and shut its eyes
And beauty Of face displayed;
But somehow it seemed to me
She never received the care
l daily and hourly see
Bestowed on a doll less fair,
The doll that can really talk,
The doll in the silken dress,
The doll that is made to walk
Lies lonely in some recess;
Forgotten and pushed aside
1t lies in the dust apart,
While that Of the rags, in pride,
Is held to the maiden's heart.
The doll is a doll to me,
A bundle Of rags and fur,
And yet am quick to see
It's more than a doll to her.
And so it maintains its place,
Unrivalled it holds its own;
In rags and a painted face
1t stands in her heart alone.
