snoTPULLERs AT WORK.

The fourth and last of the shotputting
contests held under the auspices of the
Harvard Athletic Association took place
yesterday afternoon. Only four men con-
tested, but in the competition the long 80
put of the series was made. Il. III. Clark,
l.. y, who made the best put in each OF
the three former contests, yesterday made
"a record of 3S feet 3 inches. The longest
puts OF the other three contestants Were :
c. j. Paine, .Ir., '97, 81 feet 23I inches;
V. l.. Littig j.. =, 30 feet "a inches;
+. G. Shaw, 97, 81 feet inches
According 20 the records made in the
series of four contests, the three prizes
were awarded as follows in the single
put; T.. III. Clark, L. =, 30 feet 3 inches; (;
for the best average, c. j. Paine, Jr.,
average 36 feet 1-6 inches; for the great
est improvement. V. l.. Littig, L. >, IL
l-6 inches Clark really made the best
average, hut one Of the conditions Of the
contest was that no man should receive
moro than one prize
The series OF contests were held in order
TO increase the interest of the heavyweight
events and Co strengthen Harvards track
team in these events, but the results are
not very encouraging
Eight men took part In the first contest,
seven I'm the second and only four in the
last two. In addition none of the records
made were long enough by seven feet TO
win point in the intercollegiate games.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for ono pur-
pose, namely "a receptacle for tho urine.
and as such it Is not liable 10 any form or
disease except by one Of two ways. Tho
first way Is from imperfect oction or tho
kidneys. The second way Is from careless
local treatment Of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urino from unhealthy kid
news Is the chief cause of bladder troubles
and suffering so painful To many that lie
is madc miserable. The womb like tho
bladder was created for one purpose, and
IL left alono it Is not liable 10 become
diseased, except In raro cases. Whonk In
position the womb Is situated back OF
and very close To tho bladder, and for
that reason any distress disease on incon-
venience manifested in the kidneys, back,
bladder or urinary passage is often by
mistake, attributed Co female weakness
or womb trouble OF some sort. Tho error
is easily made and may be as easily
avoided by paying little attention 10
the condition OF the urine (see pamphlet).

NAY WORK TOGETHER.

Notwithstanding that the Il. A. w. and
A. A. L., have parted company, the
latter still looks to the former for informn-
ti0n in the bicycle field. Chairman Mott
has received an inquiry from "A New York
a. A. \. organization asking for tho
status of G.. III. Bowen of Philadelphia,
who had entered amateur games. The
information was given that the man had
been made n professional last july for
taking cash prizes. He was not allowed
To compete in the games.
Mott thinks an understanding will be
reached between the l.. A. w. and A. a.
e. He will go to New York on Sunday
TO consult with President Potter on that
point, as we'll ms sending Il team TO repre-
sent the United States III the interna-
tional championship races in Scotland in
August.
No ovcrturcs have yet been made by
either of the big amateur organizations
looking toward "A new agreement AS
the A. a. Y. was the first to ask that the
old arrangement be discontinued, 1t is
expected to take the initiative in the
matter.

just as firmly established by the ex.

positive fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla
Is "far and away" the best blood puri-
fer and spring medicine everproduced.
The necessity is found in the inn
pure condition OF the blood at this
season, owing to the close confine-
ment and breathing vitiated air in Of
fce, store, shop. house, schoolroom
or factory; excessive eating and drink
ing too rich and hearty food; late
hours and social indulgences. With
the blood thus thick and impure, the
machinery of life grinds hard.
Hoods Sarsaparilla purifies, vital
ICES and enriches the blood, builds up
and strengthens the nerves and tones
the stomach. II oils up the machinery
Of the whole body; the liver takes up
its work anew, the kidneys resume
activity, the ache goes out of the back,
the bowels arc regulated, the appetite
restored, the food is relished and as.

HIS STORY DOUBTED.
BudrOugh Claimed TO Have Been
Robbed Of His Watch.
Said he Was Attacked Mar White Mil
and Tins piece Snalchsd.

Levi Budrough who lives at IL Martin
street, PawtuclSot, reported 90 the police
OF the Fourth station that he had been
robbed Of his watch while passing in front
of the white mill' on Carpenter street
at & so O'Clock last evening He said that
Il man jumped cut and grabbed bis watch
chain and tore his watch from his pocket.
The robber struck him hard enough TO
make him stagger and then ran down the
street as fast as his heels would carry
him. Ho said the robbcr was about 40
years of age and n fair description was
furnished the police of the thief. The
detectives subsequently. were unable To
find any trace of the robber Burroughs
story seemed n triile OF and no was
searched at the police station. There was
no good evidence that the chain had been
torn from its place as the buttonholc
showed no indication of recent violent
treatment The loser stated that the watch
was n Waltham open faced timer, num-
bered 6G5t which would indicate that it
was made when Levi was a boy. Another
circumstance which discredits the story
consists OF the fact thnt u young man was
waiting for his girl near the place the
robbery was declared Co bc committed,
but he did not SEQ a running man or any
thing indicating that robbery on the
highway had been committed. He was
near the white mill at $50 o'clock
Leyi Budrough is well known in Olnoy

matter OF conjecture.

II l. not fact as "Old South" seems
tO believe that before the War OF the
Rebellion slave owners were permitted TO
vote as many times Us they had negroes.
When the constitution was framed a
recognition was made OF slavery is an i'm
stitution and, although there was "a rec
luctance 10 uS the word, from the fact
that IL seemed inappropriate in a people
who had Just won their own liberty to
recognize "a condition of slavery within
their own limits, provision was mGdo
that the slaves should he counted ms pop
ulatiOn in the apportionment of repre-
scntGtives. Representatives and direct
taxes shall bo apportioned among the
several states which may bo included
within this union according TO their re-
spective nl~lbcrs, which shall be de-
termined by adding 10 the whole number
of free persons, including those bound to
service for a term OF yeATs and excluding
Indians not taxed three-iifths OF all other
persons
Probably the only president chosen
"freely" by the electoral college was
Washington, the first elected. In 1895
congressonal caucuscs placed the candi-
dates in nomination; the Federalists in
Congress naming John adams and
Thomas Pincbney, the Republicans
(Democrats) naming Thomas jefferson
and Aaron Burr. 1his system OF nomi-
nation continued down 90 1881, when
called by the Maryland legislatures; it
met Mt Baltimore, Dec II. 1881, and
nominated Clay and Sergeant. The Dem
ocratic convention, held in Washington
May I2, 1892, nominated Jackson and
Van Burcn.
