WHERE IS THAT REPORTS
Conclusions of the League Committee
ON Rules Missing.

There seems to be some misunderstanding
about the report of the league committee
on playing rules. Chairman James A. Hart
of Chicago says he has been expecting
President N. E. Young to send out the
report for some time.
1t is stated by the Baltimore Sun. ap-
parently by authority of Mr.. Hanlon. that
the report is in President Young's hands.
and that he may give it out. President
Young however. said to a Star reporter
today that he had not received the report,
which had been passed from one member
of the committee to another for amend
ment.
In the meantime the spring meeting Of
the league is set for three weeks from
Thursday, and Mr.. Ryrne's idea in seeking
the appointment of the committee was for
ii to make its report thirty days before the
league meeting. in order to allow for gem
eral discussion.

more undergraduate college spirit is shown
in rowing. The Athletic Union of Columbia

A TORNADO OF FLAME.
The Swift and Tragic Burning of the
Steamer Martha Washington.

A steamer called Martha Washington
left the Cincinnati docks late in the night
of Jan. 7, 1859. She was heavily freighted
with cargo consigned to New Orleans
and the markets of Texas and California.
In her cabin were 80 passengers When
seven days out, on the coolest night known
to rivermcn, she burned to the waters
edge off island Sixty-five, in the Mississip-
pi river. Despite the loss Of 10 lives, to-
gether with the cargo, the catastrophe ex-
cited no more comment at THE time than
many like disasters. In time, however, the
captain and Others were charged with burn
ing the boat to secure insurance. In a
famous trial they We're acquitted, but be-
lief in their guilt remained general
On the witness stand is the pilot, Lew
Is Choate 81 was at the wheel when the
Martha Washington burned" says he.
Captain Cummings was with me in the
pilothousc. 1 remarked that 1 smelled
fire. The captain looked about and said
there was no fire. He went down stairs
however, and Immediately the flames broke
out.
81 stood at the wheel until line was
made fast to a tree. There was no person
alive in the cabin when the boat struck
the shore. l could hear the glass rafting
like hail in the burning cabin, where the
flames roared like tornado. jumped
ashore from the pilothouse-a hard spring
it was. l struck partly in the water and
partly on shore. All the passengers who
ever got ashore did so at the instant the
steamer struck the bank. Yes" he adds
in a tragic voice, ''if 1 had believed that
Captain Cummings set the boat on fire, l
would have taken his life that night. If
you," addressing Mr.. Stanberry, who
stands erect and alert, the very Bayard of
the bar, chad seen the misery, the suffer-
ing, that night on board the Martha Wash
ington you would not blame me. L am
sure l would have killed the incendiary on
the spot. 1t was the coolest night L ever
saw in that country. No one could quench
the flames. AS well describe hurricane
as that fire, so fierce, SO swift was the de-
struction it wrought. In less than a min
ute after the engineer shouted back to me
that there was no fire the flames flashed 10
or IL feet above the hurricane deck. The
cabin of the boat had been painted over,
God only knows how often-perhaps 90
times. 1t was not the coal tar paint on the
chimneys l smelled it was u pine and
turpentine smell. ''-Lida Rose McCabe in

The Company known through
out the world as the
CAL FORN|A FIG SYRUP CO

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale OF
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy us medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions OF bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians
1.-THE California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more benc-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are USED, as they ar,
pleasant TO the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most benefcially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.
