H1HVAKD oARsMEy HAPPY.
The Efforts OF Coach Lebmann Meet with
GcneraI Approvnl.


CAMBRIDGE. Nov. 2S.-The usual dormant con-
dition into which athletics at Harvard sink at
the close of the football season has given way
this year to very significant activity in a~Quatics.
The advent Of r.. Z. Lehman has lent u mighty
stimulus to rowing. and the oarsmen are to-
day working as hard and conscientiously as II
the Intercollegiate race were next month, In
stead of six months hence. II is n decided
novelty at Harvard to have twenty oarsmen in
daily training the latter part OF November. and
the whole college 10 interested.
Mr.. Lehman has made q distinct hit at
Harvard. His enthusiasm aud determined yet
kindly methods OF coaching have completely
captured the oarsmen, and aquatlcs are now in
a healthy, harmonious state which promises
brighter days for tho rimson, Every one seems
entirely satisfied with the new system. The
men who are out on the water now include sew
eral member OF last years varsity crew and
men who rowed on the freshman and class
Fights. Mr.. Lehman has not yet taken any
now men In charge, although he has kept n
watchful eye on candidates for the 1900 crew,
some OF whom he expects 10 put on the water
next week. There are nearly q hundred fresh
men who aspire TO aquatic honors. and among
them are some very promising youngsters.
The oarsmen are now training for a two-mile
race which will be rowed the second week in
Der and will close the fall season on the
river. For fall training tho system now In
vogue is pretty thorough. The men rise at Z
O'Clock each morning and take u brisk walk be-
fore break fast. Then thNy. get two hours on
the river each afternoon and must be in bed by
10 O'Clock In the evening, No training table,
however, will be established this fall.
The her race was MI. Lehmann's idea,
suggested by the frequent races rowed through
out the year by the English crews, and especial
iy by the trial Fights rowed AZ Oxford In De-
oember, which form a basis for selecting the
varsity boat. 1t will be a great novelty here,
for In former years the varsity crews have
never had anything moro OF a race than time
trials before the hig race at New London or
POughkeepsie. WheG the men get on th0 TiysS
again mex, March IT Is likely they will have
several trial races.
Several more old oRrsmen will get into har-
ness this week In time for the coming race. and
Coach lehman Is pretty well Pleased with the
progress made thus far. Taxing into consider
alton tho brief two weeks that Lehman has
had the men In charge, their form is remark
ably good. The men have got to master tho
main points In the English stroke before Leh-
mann leaves next month. for they Will begin
work on the machines immediately after the
Christmas recess. continuing Indoors until the
river opens up again in March. when their
coach Will return.
The now stroke is n graceful one, and sugges-
i've or strong power Rni speed. The noticeable
ohaEEes from IigTvarh's eld stroke are the lit
ana swing Of the body and the log drive.

CLARA BARTON SAVED HIS LIFE.
Mr. Robert Lumsden Has Reason to
Bless the Brave Woman Now on Her
Way to Armenia.

woman this country has produced.
She Las just sailed FOR Turkey on the
most precarious mission any woman

of the Red Cross Society she raised a
large amount for the relief OF the suf-
fering Armenians.
just before sailing for the Orient,
the Society was informed that the
Sultan would never allow that or amy
other society to come into his dominion
to distribute relief To any of his sub
iects. The society was emphatically
notified 10 keep off the grass of the
Turk, at their peril.
But this warning threat had no eff
feet on Miss Clara Barton. She made
her plans i'm disregard of the Sultan's
proclamation, and has sailed, with her
relief corps, for Constantinople And
the prayers of tie American people go
with her.

''From the above you will observe
that i'm 1886, with the $40 patients
treated, II escaped, and in 1895, with
the 442 patients treated, only 4 escaped.
Now, Mr.. Editor, il these facts, and
they are easily verified, show that
things are loosely managed about the
asylum, your criticism is just; other
wise YOU have done the directors and
superintendent Of this institution an
injustice, and your own reputation re-
quires that you should make retrac-
ton"
THE MESSENGERS COMMENT.
Replying to the above, the Messenger
says:
I'VE knew, of course, that there was
systematic management at the asylum,
but considering the fact that one pa
tent had escaped three times, it seem
ed to MS that there must have been
careIessness ON somebody's part. The
showing made by DR.. Kirby for the
asylum management is very creditable.
This affords us an opportunity, how
ever, to say that we observe that the
management of the asylum, like those
of all institutions and corporations,
try to keep the news from the papers,
many times when there seems to be no
good or justifiable reason for doing II.
Davis escaped from the asylum on
Wednesday evening, and the fact was
not published in the Raleigh papers
until the following Friday"
GIVE OUT THE NEWS.
The managers of railroads, asylums,
and all other great institutions make a
great mistake in trying to keep the
news out of the papers. Whenever a
patient escapes, the first thing the
asylum authorities ought to do is to
send the news to the papers. They
are the best detectives, and the unfort-
unates will be returned quicker than
by trying to keep it out of the papers.
The management is not blamed for
an occasional escape.
