WANT HIM RETAINED.
Missionaries Petition to Have Present
Consul at Tangier Remain.

NEW YORK, June I1.-A special from
Tangier, Morocco, says; The news re-
ceiyed by Paris newspaper OF the sp-
pointment of Mr.. Burke, to be the United
States consul general at Tangier, was a
great surprise here.
Mr. Barclay, the present consul gen.
ersl, has no information OF II. The
American missionaries there have cabled
to President Cleveland, ssking that Mr..
Barclay be retained.
He has corr ec,ed the protection and
other abuses her and change now, IL
is thought, would lie disastrous TO their
interests.

And this recalls the fact that in every
part. of the country there are to be found
people who put implicit faith in the
powers OF the divining rod, which is
used. not only in the search for buried
minerals, but to determine the location
for wells. IL was first used by those
clever mountebanks, the diviners, astrol-
ogers ami sooth-sayers of 900 or $40 years
ago. and like the mad stone the super
stitious belief IN II has continued to the
present day and probably will remain un-
I'll scientific men are able to do what the
divining rod pretends to do.

For Sound Money.

Hartford, June 1.-THE Democrats OF
Connecticut, by their representatives at
the state convention for the choice of
delegates to the national convention
at Chicago, July 7, have expressed them
selves unequivocally as to their ad-
vocacy of the gold standard and opposi-
ton for the free coinage OF silver. The
platform also endorsed President Clexe-
land. and especially approved his sup
port OF the Monroe doctrine.
Hon. William II. Russell of Massachu-
setts was the choice of the delegates as
presidential nominee. but owing to the
fact that Judge Lynde Harrison OF the
committee on resolutions had received
a letter from the ex-governor, I'm which
he expressly stated that he did not
wish 10 embarrass the delegates by any
resolution of instruction. IL was sug-
gested that they SO to Chicago pledged
TO no one.
The convention was one OF the briefest
OF recent yearc. owing to the fact that
the choice OF delegates had been fought
out in district and county caucuses.

Anent the recent Methodist conferences
which have attracted SO much attention
of late correspondent asks when and
where Methodism had It's origin. The
Methodist Church Is the outgrowtb of
the "Holy Club, which was formed by
John Wesley. his brother Charles, Mr..
Morgan, and Mr.. Kirk ham at the Ok
ford University in November, 1929. Wes-
ley in after years pointed back to this
organization as the beginning of. Metho-
dism. The first society was organized
ten years later in London.

The steering gear is operated by chains
connecting with the handlebar in the
forward part OF the cockpit, the chains
running to the stern and attaching to the
yoke affixed to the rudder head. The
bow of the novel craft has been SO de-
signed that II IL claimed the boat can
turn completely in II foot reSius. The
pull 10 very gracefully proportioued and
10 modification OF the craft known as
the sktp jack. The frames are OF oak and
the sheathing of half-inch cedar. Her
bottom is half round ana case bottom is
provided for the machinery. She Is IS
feet long, ID feet on the waterline, 3 feet
4 inch beam and 1 foot 4 inches deep.
She Is fitted with watertight bulkheads
fore and after and ber deck Is OF water
proof canvas. With the present rage for
bicycles it would seem that the lovers OF
the water among them could find in the
bicycle boat pleasant and enjoyable sub
stitute. With such q craft, there is no
end to the healthful and pleasurable exer-
else that could be obtained in the waters
hereabouts, and 1t Is not unlikely that
before many moons have waned the BIZ
cycle boat will have made It's appearance
on the bosom Of Old Narragansett.

THE vICToRs WELCOMED.

The students at Harvard were called to-
gether on the campus this morning by
the playing OF the college band. A.large
crowd OF them, headed by the band, pro-
ceeded to the Park Square station at Bos-
ton, to await the arrival OF the train bear
ing the victorious bali players. AS soon
as the train drew i'm the students made q
rush, and when the members of the team
left the cars they were seized and borne
on the shoulders of their comrades out Of
the station, and the whole party returned
10 mbridge. On their arrival there the
boys who beat Princeton yesterday were
given a rousing ovation, to which Captain
Dean responded. The universal delight
at the victory Is apparent to all osbervers.

Catamaran is Speedy But
Ugly in Appearance.
Bicycle Boat Will Come Into
Favor HereabOutS.
A Relic of California Gold Fever.
Origin Of Methodism.

Those who take an interest In boats and
boating hereabouts Will remember the
catamaran that used TO glide over the
waters OF the bay some years-ago. IL was
an ungainly craft to look upon, but when
its wings were spread to the breeze there
was nothing in the shape OF sailing craft
In This section OF the country that could
make even fair showing against it. But
1t dropped from sight after time, for
mere speed, when accomplished by ugh-
ness Of outline, does not secure very
lasting hold on the fancy of the yachts
men. Later on the cstamaran idea was
adopted for sort OF bicycle boat, which
was operated by pedals on much the same
principle as the wheel OF the present day,
but it-was never success, and IL the
Gossiper's memory Is not Mt fault, the
constructor and operator received good
ducking and came near losing his life
through tho ventrring OF the top heavy
craft. Whether thar occurrence or some
other was the cause, IL Is certain that the
boat which wns operated by foot power
disappeared from view after very few
trials and has not since been seen In the
river or bay.
IT now looks, however, as though the
bicycle boat Is the coming thing, and
will 10 certain. extent replace the steam
and napntha launcn in inland waters. A
very successful boat of this description
has bccn constructed at Brooklyn from
Plans made by rlr. Herman II. Ogden,
and the craft has shown great speed when
tested in the waters around Bay Ridge.
The motive power Is furnished In the
same way as that for tandem bicycle,
the frame resting upon two oak braces.
The frame is OF copper and steel bars rise
out OF IL for saddles and handle bars.
Sprocket wheels and pedals exactly like
those of a bicycle are affixed and con-
structed in the usual manner with
chain. Parallel with the rear wheel Is
cog, IA inches la diameter, which engages
q smaller Ole on the propeller shaft and
tvansmits the power TO 1t. The propeller
itself is three bladed, made OF gun metal
and is fifteen inches in diameter. The
gearing is SO arranged that the propeller
makes six revolutions to every single rev.
olution OF the pedals.
