YALE CREW AT HENLEY.

New York, June pa special to the
Herald from London says: AS much
work as possible, without affecting the
men, will be crowded into the coming
week by Bob Cook. Yale's fault of
come in the next six days. While the
men have worked hard since their ar
rival they ought to have made better
progress. Cook has labored incessant-
ly to quicken the catch. He has been
keen to get points from the English
coaches, which he means to utilize in
connection with his stroke wherever
practicable. The men, however, have
been slow in adapting themselves to
conditions. 1t is hoped that a great
change will be noticed in the work of
the crew today, when they will try
the new English oars for the first
time.
The crew will be worked minute
spurts for awhile to get used TO hand
ling the lighter blades. and will then
be sent over the first half of the course
one time at n slightly decreased
stroke. An investigation of the Yale
boat Saturday shows that the time to
Fawley would probably have been
lowered two or three seconds If the
fin had not been twisted. 1t was neces-
sary to put the rudder down hard dur
ing the entire pull to keep the shell in
its course. This necessarily retarded
its progress.
Tredway and Langford, who were a
shade stale looked brighter Sunday,
and will be all right in day or two.
If the weather does not get to hot no
further trouble is anticipated from
these two men, who are trained down
about as fine as they can stand

The Wrong Done by n Dishonorable Lover
Righted After Many Years.

A mortgage for $4,000 against the
owners of some valuable property in
Hearts Oak, Ia, and a number of let
tiers which disclose the unfair means
by which husband won a wife, are in
the possession of Couch, Tower & Muir
ply, lawyers, of this city. The docu-
ments are said to have been responsible
for the marriage of two lovers after
the woman's 10 years of welded life
with another and one year of widow
hood.
The lawyers are reticent and refuse
to reveal the names of the couple or
disclose anything beyond the fact that
the woman, who is about "a years of
age, and said to be beautiful, Is the
daughter of Henry G. Chaplain, once
a prosperous business man of this city,
who died in 1880.
The story as learned was that two
employees of Mr.. Chaplain, one, Edward
Metcalfe, and another whose identity
the lawyers refuse to disclose, were
both ardent suitors for the hand OF
their employers daughter. Her choice
was for the man whom the lawyers
refuse to name. One day she received
letter, supposed to have been written
by him, in which he declared that he
no longer cared for her. The same even
ing Mr.. Metcalfe called upon her and
asked her to marry him. She accepted
his proposal. The couple moved to the
west, and Metcalfe obtained Q position
with a cotton goods house, which took
him to England and South Africa. Dur
ing his travelling his wife lived in Lon.
don.
Her father had previously invested
s22, 900 with friend, John Springle,
who had secured 1000 acres of land In
O'Brien county, Ia, where he wanted
to found a city. The enterprise failed,
and Mr.. Chaplain regarded his money
as lost. When he died, in 1880, Metcalfe
secured the mortgage given to Clapham
by Springle, along with his other papers.
Springle died in 1893. Metcalfe died
about two years ago, and his widow was
surprised to receive from her former
favored sutton, who was living in St
Louis, a note of coincidence. A few days
aIUtTWdTu sic ulSCONcICN dAuOliS hCA nus
bands letters one which her sutton had
sent to her, but which had been inter-
cepted, she believes, by Metcalfe. EX-
plantations followed, and it was learned
that the letter written by her unknown
lover jilting her was a forgery. The
two were married about eight months
ago, near New York city, and are now
travelling in the west. The second hus-
band held until recently some high adj
ministrative office in a town near Des
Moines, Ia.
The property in Hearts Oak, held by
the Chaplain mortgage, has developed
into valuable land, and the lawyers hope
TO be able TO prove their title to it.

NON-PARTIZAN DELUSION.
TO the Daily Light:

Since the San Antonio bar (the most
of them Democrats) are very solicit
Gus about the judges and courts being
free from politics-that they be non
partiZan-let them come together and
prove their assertions by nominating
and endorsing Hon. Jack Evans (Rep.)
for district attorney, and some other
good Republican, like John Il. Walter,
or the present incumbent, Mr.. Nat.
Lewis, both of whom are competent
for district clerk.
All the county officers, from district
judges down to constable, are only eX-
ecutiye Officers-nOt empowered to
make law but to enforce and carry out
same.
The whole court house family, in
Guiding the Big Six, should be endors-
ed and perpetuated in office, the same
as heretofore, and the people who pay
the taxes and foot the bills must
"groan and bear their ills without a
murmer. according to the non-partizan
theory.
Non-partizan officeholding in Bexar
county is deluSion. and a snare, and
a fraud upon the people. If the non
partizans want to be fair, let the
fat offices be equally divided up among
the three parties: Republican, Demo-
crat and Populist. The tax-ridden
people of Bexar county have suffered
many long weary years from the eff
forts of this personal, sO-called, non
partizan otficeholding trust, and are
signing for straight party politics to
get relief. NO MUGWUMP.

LED A DUAL LIFE.
Strange and Romantic Career Of
s. T. Montgomery.
Supposed to Have Perished In a Fire He
Starts Life Anew In Ohio-Pathetic
Faithfuiness of His wife-His
Secret Discovered.

Inc uedtn Oh -. l.. montgomery dI
Manistique, Mich, recently marked the
close of strange life. He was pio-
neer resident of Kokomo, Ind, veteran
of the Mexican war, also serving
through the late civil conflict, enlisting
in Company /, Twentieth Indiana vol
unteer infantry. AT the close of the
war Montgomery began the publication
of the Kokomo Daily Herald, and for
years was associated with the late T..
C. Philips in the conduct of the Ko-
komo Tribune. In 1870 he went to
Mishawaka, near South Bend, and pub
lished the Mishawaka Enterprise.
At the destruction of the Studebaker
wagon works by fire Montgomery was
at the scene of the confagration, and it
was thought persisted in the flames.
He was not seen afterwards, and the
family, thinking him dead, returned to
Kokomo.
Six years later viii Montgomery, the
oldest of the children, a printer by
trade, found his father at La Grange,
O., village near Elyria, where he had
married an estimable woman and was
serving as mayor of the town under
the name of "'Maj. Wright S. Clarke"
by which name he was known the re-
mainder of his life. Locking the secret
in his heart, young Montgomery, who
did not make himself known to his ia
Their, returned to Kokomo. About that
time Mrs. Montgomery died.
For years she had kept light in her
window looking for the return of the
wandering husband should he be alive.
At last lingering hope was lost, and she
died in the firm belief that he had pre-
ceded her to the life beyond the grave.
The son knew better, but he refused to
divulge the secret. maj. Clarke" was
not molested.
Ten years later VIII Montgomery
saw his father, ''Maj. Clarke again
With theatrical troupe the young man
stopped at Manistique, Mich, lumber
ing town in the northern peninsula.
Here Clarke" was the editor of the
Manistique Pioneer. This time Mont
gomery made himself known, going
into the Office and introducing himself
to maj. Clarke" as his son.
The elder Montgomery acknowledged
his identity, but the secret went no far
Their. Young Montgomery remained at
Manistique and obtained control of the
Manistique Sun, which he conducted for
several years IN opposition to his IA
Their. The papers were opposed polite
ally and in.every other way. A more
fierce newspaper war was never con-
Quoted than that of the Pioneer and
Sun, the fact that they were owned by
father and son being known only to
themselves. Five years later the son
went to Republic, copper mining
town, where he published a paper.
Four years ago young Montgomery
was burned to death at Republic. His
office took fire, and in endeavoring to
save his family, who lived upstairs in
the same building, he persisted in the
flames. His father, "'Maj. Clarke" con-
tinued the publication of the Manis-
tique Pioneer until his death few days
ago. He was a prominent and highly re-
specteI citizen, having occupied all the
public offices of honor in that county,
including the probate judgeship.

THE FIGHT.
"TEe silver question is not heard of. and

tariff has seemingly been forgotten.
Already both Democrats and Republic
ans have declared against the obnoxious
poll tax. and the single-taxers contend that
all taxes shall be taken off improvements
and placed upon ba RI land values The fight
they will make will be to secure favorable
legislative candidates, and each party is

''Out OF every ten single takers seven are

WOMEN TOO Personal.

IL Is so like women,' said clubman
IL recently, to take club re-
lection of themselves or one OF their
~ friends so much TO heart. In a man s
club the matter is viewed much
more phlosophically.
"A man is put up at olub-if he gets in
he is plea sed. il he doesn't lie does not resent
it, except under unusual circumstances.
His rejection does not necessarily imply
anything derogatory TO his Character sinh
ply, as the editors say, that for that partic-
uar club he is not available. But women
go all to pieces over such a happening.
My wife recently proposed a woman at
a club of which she is member, and the
name was turned down by the board of ad-
missions Whcreupou my wife bit her
fingernails off at what Sue considered AN
n awful thing, not only for her friend, but for
herself.'
The particular club referred to is very
conservative; it has certain fiSed rules gov
crning its membership that no one has a
right TO disregard; the applicant in ques-
ton did not respond to the test established
and was therefore not eligible.
That was all there was of it. 1t all
comes, suppose, from the extremely per-
sonal point from which women look at
everything
