PENNSYLVANIA OARsMENs WORK.
TWO CREWS PRACTISING. FROM WHICH THE
POUGHKEEPsIE CREW WILL BE TAKEN


POUGHKEEFsIE CREW WILL BE TAKEN
TIE MINES GOOD SHOWING.
Philadelphia May % (SpeclaD.-The interest in
athletics now centres around the success OF the
baseball team and the work OF the crews which are
daily practising on the Upper Schuylkill The work
OF the University Junior and senior eiShts Is
watched with especial interest. as II Is from these
two that the eight which VIII represent
Pennsylvania in the intercollegiate race at Poush-
keeps!e is TO be chosen.
The men Of the senior crew are those who made
UP the University freshman crew. which made a
creditable showing against the Naval cadets at
Annapolis recently. The junior eight is composed
OF the members OF the former University crew. who
have been changed in their positions I'm the boat.
Burke and Willhauer have been displaced. but they
s,ll remain in training. and may any time dis
place some OF the occupants Of the Junior shell.
As yet little is known OF the comparative strength
OF the crew. or what they can be expected TO do
in a race But as both crews will enter the Harlem
regatta II will then be possible to draw some con-
cusons as to their relative strength. Al the pres
ent time the senior shell Is doing the better work.
They excel in body work. while the blade work of
both crews is fairly good The men will start for
Poughkeepsie about June l. ani there will be merged
into a final University eight after competitive trials
The baseball team has fulfilled the highest hopes
OF it's friends. In the game with the strong Vir-
gnia nne which afterward defeated Princeton.
Pennsylvania showed her full strength on the dia-
mond and not found lacking In any respect.
Virginia defeated in one OF the best-played
games ever seen Franklin Field by the small
score OF 10 The only weak point Is in the pitch
ing department. O'Donne and Wunder the two
best pitchers, are rather new. but fast gaining
confidence and experience, and lately have been
doing fast work
The victory OF the eleven over the Crimson crck-
s to be wondered at No reason can be
assigned for the smallness OF their in the first
innings, for the Pennsylvanans team,
far superior TO the Harvard men.

The sad accident by which man lost his life
in New-Jersey last Sunday appears to have been
the result OF riding without a brake. At all
events the man allowed his wheel TO get away
from him. lost control OF it and was dashed over
a precipce. The only safe rule IS never TO vent
ure on a steep hill without brake, unless you
have learned to apply the toe to the tire Of the
front wheel at al instants notice and even at
the best that practice is not without danger
For one who knows how to use 1t "A foot brake
answers every purpose; the foot can be swung on
il quickly, and steep grade both feet can
be applied and the wheel brought to instant
standstill Foot brakes are made in several va
retes sometimes with coasters attached, and
some Of the brakes have piece Of sole leather
on the unde" surface on the theory that this Will
be less likely than steel to injure the rubber tire
Many riders believe, however, that u hand brake
is the only means of safety and refuse to ride
brakeless bicycle.
New-York tribune., 1896-05-24

Have you coasters?" was asked at a down.
town store where bicycle sundres of all kinds are
supposed to be sold Tn, answer Of the salesman
was to hand out a rather clumsy affair which
was a combination Of coaster. foot brake and
lamp bracket The inquirer said that he wanted
coasters only; to which the reply was: I'VE don't
keep coasters. Coasting Is dangerous business
and we don't approve Of IT, and so we don't sell
them" The solicitude thus shown for the riders
safety would have been more impressive II a pair
OF coasters had not been part Of the apparatus
lust offered.

A PREVALENT DISEASE.
NOT NECESSARILY DANGEROUS BUT
MAY BECOME so.

American men and women suffer from
very general disease-hyspepsia.
Dyspepsia has many symptoms. Thin,
pale people are generally dyspeptic. noI-
low cheeks, bad breath, acid quotations,
palpitation of the heart, hot and cold flush
es, headaches, nausea and vomiting ali
these ale symptoms of dyspepsia.
What does dyspepsia mean? IL two words.
imperfect digestion. How can We remedy
t? Not alone by resort to drugs. We must
rest the stomach.
For this purpose we must put into it
food which is already digested and which
will aid the digestion of other foods. We
must take Shaker Digestive Cordial, fol
this is just such preparat ton. 1t contains
food which will lie absorbed at once. 1t
also contains principles which will assist
the digestion of other foods. while last but
not least, it contains a combination of
those drugs in the cultivation of which the
Shakers nave been so successful. and which
act by stimulating the liver and bowels.
Imperfect digestion is often caused oy
overwork of the digestive apparatus, too
much food, food eaten too quickly, ner-
vous worry, etc.
The shaker Digestive Cordial is tue IN ost
suct essful remedy for INDIGESTION that has
ever been made. A single 10 cent bottle
will afford relief in most CAGES. although
this small quantity cannot be expected to
effect perfect cure.
If you hndit suitable in your own case,
continue it's use. All druggists keep it
and can supply you with an interesting
descriptive pamphlet.

PORT OF EXPORT.
Renewal of the Attempt to Give Boston a
Share of Portland's Privileges.

Washington, January g. -Seoretary Nor
ton has under consideration an applioa-
ton for the opening of a new port Of
entry and one of. export in New England
for the transportation of Canadian cattle,
and he is said to be favorably disposed
toward 1T. An argument in support of
the application was made by Sigourney
Butler of Boston, in behalf of a delega-
ton consisting of Elwyn 6. Preston, Sec
rotary Of the Boston Chamber of Com
meIoe, DR.. Austin Peters, the expert vet
erlnarian. and Collector B. B. Smalley
OF the port of Burlington, VT, accom-
panied by Senator Proctor and Assistant
Secretary Hamlin. Mr.. Butler asked that
Richford, VT, be opened as port of
entry and Boston as port Of export No
provision is now made for shipping Ca
madam cattle in New England except
from Portland. There has been an OBJ
lection to this proposition from the Bu
reau of Animal Industry, owing to the
declaration of Great Britain that conta-
gious. pleuro- pneumonia exists among Ca
madam cattle. but Mr.. butler declared
that diligent search had failed to reveal
the existence of pleuro- pneumonla.

THE CASE WAS DROPPED.
Congressman Atwood Could Not Prove
That Peabody Libelled Him.

Boston, January 6.-The trial of
Frederick ". Peabody for the alleged
libel of Congressman II. II. Atwood came
to an abrupt ,mlnation in court today,
the district attorney Announcing that he
couldnotf further prosecute'the caesagainst
Peabody stating that it was his opinion
that public interests do not require the
further prosecution of this case. Judge
Gaskill asked the counsel for the defence
if he consented to this disposition of the
suit, to which question counsel replied
Eyes, the defendant does consent, as
public confession coming through the dis
trict attorney is better than any verdict
that could be rendered by the jury
Peabody charged certain illegal transac-
tions by Atwood when the latter was city
architect of Boston and the evidence was
STRONG in support of the allegations.

THAT BOND ISSUE.
The following order was read:
That for the purpose of renewing the
| loan of the city, falling due March /, 1896
the city treasurer be authorized and di.
rected to hire on the credit of the city the
sum of $48, 600, and to issue coupons OF

payable on the first days of September

This was passed by the upper board,
but non concurred in by the lower board
which voted to refer the order to the
committee on finance with power. The
upper board voted to adhere to it's former
action and asked for committee of con
| ference.
| The result was that the committee O
the upper board voted to recede anC
concur with the lower board, the latte,
insisting that the order should be refer

as otherwise it put too much power il

that they report back to the city council,
