nit. One by one the colleges and uni
versities sent in their entries until sew
enty-six different teams were sched-
uled to compete in this afternoon's s
races.
Many of those who competed this af-
ternoOn gained hOnOrs at the famous
Mott Haven games.
The most prominent out-of-town ath-
letes were Wefers. the worlds cham
pion sprinter; Hollister, the inter-col-
legiate champion and record breaker;
Wright. the New England distance
champion; McGirrten, mile champion;
Vincent. ex-intercollegiate quarter
mile champion; Nipple, the inter-schol-
astic half-mile champion; Mcconnell
the inter-scholastic quarter-mile cham
pion; Fisher. OF Yale Bizne of Colum-
bia; O'Brien, of Brown; Walsh, OF
Georgetown; Elliott, OF Amherst, and
many others.
In the relay race OF the school boys
belonging to the Chester, Norristown
Wilmington and Camden High Schools,
a pretty contest was witnessed between
the three former until the last hundred
yards, when the Norristown representa-
tive forged ahead and won by fifteen
yards. Chester was second and VIII
mington third. Time, 3 minutes 81
seconds.

Armed For Emergencies.

When Fridtjof Nansen was young stu
dent, he attended ball and danced with
many partners. Returning long after mid
night through the streets to his lodgings,
he heard loud outcries from a woman who
was struggling with two ruflians. In an
other moment the woman broke away
Nansen was standing. The two men were
close behind her in hot pursuit.
Nansen was an athlete full of courage
and vigor and put himself on guard as the
men approached. He allowed the woman
TO pass, but called upon the Infatuated
pursuers to halt standing directly in their
way and hitting ont first at one and then
at the other. The ruflians, angered by his
unexpected attack, turned resentfully up
on the rescuer and would have ovcrpow-
cred him and possibly have murdered him
If he had not shown presence of mind.
Drawing himself up to his full height and
throwing back his coat collar SO as TO ex-
pose the cotillon favors which no had
worn during the ball, he sternly asked
them if they knew who he was.
i no two ASSISTANTS, awed by his manner
and supposing him to be u royal officer,
were at once cowed. They apologized
roughly for not recognizing him, dropped
their arms and sneaked off in the opposite
direction from that which the woman had
taken.
This incident of Nansen's youth illus
trated Mt once the fearless courage and the
readiness of resource which were to char
acteriZe his career as IN intrepid explorer
Youths Companion.

why Spain Has Failed In Cuba.

General Weylor should have subdued the
rebellion within 90 days. No unpreJu-
diced military authority who has studied
the two forces and made due allowance
for the advantages possessed by those who
fight upon their native soil will dissent
from this proposition. There are Spanish
generals In Cuba who admit its truth.
There are others who have returned, dis
gusted, to Spain because their suggestions
OF plans TO end the war were not allowed
to be disclosed at the palace. a four
months stay in Cuba, beginning in Janu-
AIRY and ending with April of this year.
much of which time was passed in obserN-
ing the forces in tho field, has resulted IN
the conviction on my part that 1t has not
been the purpose Of General Weyler TO emu
the rebellion. Conversations with span
ish officers, from generals to corporals'
showed that the same motives that were
evidently actuating the commander IN al
lowing the war to drag along were prompt
ing large proportion of the staff and line
in carrying out the policy of their superior

Johannes Brahms.

Had not Wagner's opponents chosen
Brahms as bulwark from behind which
to attack and harass Wagner cannot con-
ceive how their art interests could ever
have clashed. Wagner was devoted wholly
to the stage and was the successful creator
Of an entirely new form of musico-dramatic
composition. Brahms not only never at
ten ,lted TO compose an opera, but did not
care for opera as an art form.
Brahms fame could rest securely upon
his songs. still working within established
forms, he has again poured thoroughly
original and, above all, thoroughly modern
music into them. His are the most mod
ern songs, more modern even than those
Of Schumann or Franz. Schubert, Scbu
mann, Franz ana Brahms are the four
great figures in the development of the
lied.
If were asked To sum up in a single
sentence Brahms service 20 art, should
say that it consisted i'm his having created,
within established forms, music wholly
original, thoroughly mod1rn and profound.

Five Cent Restaurants.

How there is any profit left out of 8
cent dish of beefsteak with bread and but
ter and ice water and the attention of a
pretty waiter thrown in seems mystery.
1t is mystery until one realizes how the
business Is conducted. In the first place.
they feed good many people, ranging all
the way from 300 to 500 day, and thus
buy their provisions in bulk, oatmeal by
the barrel, veal by the carcass, beans al
most by the carload and as To hash, they
make that by the bushel. Moreover, they
save expense by using the latest appli-
ances, steam tables to keep the food warm,
choppers TO cut up the hash and dish
washers that save wear and tear of muscle
and towel. So economical Is the business
that they even strain the dishwater. Way
down in tho basement is big vat which
receives the water before It goes into the
sewer. An ingenious arrangement collects
the grease all by itself, and thus not only
saves it for the soap kettle, but prevents it
from going into the sewer and ologging
up the pipes Their economy, however,
does not lead them to the extreme of saw
ing food from the plate and serving 1t
again. Even the hash is brand new. -

AT AN ILLINOIS HOTEL.
Experience of Preacher Who Happened
There Overnight.

"The liveliest time ever had in getting
hotel accommodations was right here In
Illinois, " said clerical looking man, who
sat in the smoking compartment of the
sleeper while the porter was making up
his berth.
Il was going to preach at Dixon, Ills,
and l started In good time, II l had not
happened 10 strike u holiday, when trains
were running Widths was go years ago
and schedules were not systematized as
they are now. On Saturday at midnight
l stopped on the last train at a small town
nearly is miles from the place where /
was expected TO I'LL a popular pulpit.
Every body had gone to bed when l
walked into the one hotel of the place, but
by dint of loud knocking / reused sleepy
clerk, who gave me "a kerosene lamp, with
"a piece of red flannel, which served as a
wick, and pointed to a room at the top Of
q flight of stairs
"This room had bed in it, but there
was no sign of lock to the door. A large
front window was open and would not
close. IL had no curtain. So, before dis
robing, / blew out the lamp. | saw that
Ii would be easy for any one on the outside
to scale che window, so l arranged all
the toilet crockery on its SILL Then l went
to bed and to sleep.
"When l awakened, it was Sunday
morning and bright sun was shining
into my room. i sat up and saw curious
crowd regarding my window and the
breastwork Of crockery which l had used
as defense. / learned afterward that
they thought it was new china store that
had just been opened
when went down stairs, found the
hotel doors had not been unfastened since
the night before. l opened up the house,
but the only guests to enter were cat and
four Kittens. The help appeared later
apologizing by saying that they had rot
worked the day before, but had let things
take care of themselves. The landlord
looked as If he never had worked and new
er intended to. / was not able to get even
cup of coffee for my breakfast before the
train came which bore me away from the
slackest town and the worst hotel service
had ever in my life encountered. No.
won't call names, for from what | have
heard 1t is run--both hotel and town-on

Shaking Hands.

Men shake hands with strangers of their
own sex with far greater readiness than do
women. Two men, on being presented to
one another, will frequently extend the
hand in a grasp of greeting which gives
opportunity to form u general idea of each
others make up and know whether they
are attracted or repulsed. Occasionally
there is man with sufficient good nature
and courage To refuse another mans hand
without causing offense. There are men
