rowing that distance at stiff pace.
Under favorable conditions they can
cover the mile in pretty close to seven
minutes, and that is doing pretty well
for girls.
Zone of the hardest things for the
members of. a crew to learn is to look
straight at the back of the head Of the
girl in front. Most of zthem want to
glance about at the scenery or see
what is going ion afeund them, and
that, of course, disjoints The machine
like work that5is a first essential for
if the whole crew doesn't work with
the precision Of a single oar not much
in the speed line can be accomplished. ,"
If Cornell meets Wednesday it will
also, in all probability, meet defeat, as
athletics at the Massachusetts college
have reached az more advanced stage
than in any other institution Of learn
| ing for women n the country.
Class crews have been maintained
there for. six years, and, under the
tuition of .aGisss,Lucj Eaton Hill, all
branches of outdoor sport have pros
pered among the girl students. Row
ing has been one of the chief means
adopted by Miss Hill for strengthening
the physical structure of her charges,
but she is strongly opposed to all kinds
of severe contests, and for that reason
it is quite possible that if the Cornell
girls issue a challenge it will be po-
litely declined. ntir ~ :~t
Miss Hill Believes that the present
system, Of athletics in the great uni
versities, by which. the men resort to
extreme measures to excel, is all wrong.
No record is kept at Wellesley of high
jumps, vaults, running or rowing races,
or of feats of strength. Nothing is
done to build up one particular set OF
muscles at the expense of all the
Others Miss Hills aim lis to perfect
the body as a whole. Only those young
women who are completely healthy and
strong are allowed to compete with
each other, and then the contests
always cover a wide range of athletic
sports.
Miss Hill teaches rowing on a thor
oughly scientific principle. Speed is
not so much sought after as correct
style and method. Each class has its
crew, but the regular varsity crew is
made up of the best eight in the col
lege Instruction Of the '97 crew began
in February last. when about $50 girls
were set to work on the rowing ma
chimes in the gymnasium. The girls
were taught to analyze the stroke on
the machines so that when they

ing line, and Sage college has now
first-class crew of eight muscular
young women, who are training just
as assiduously as the varsity crews
Of Harvard OR Yale. The Cornell girls
hope to meet the famous crew of
Wellesley college in a regular inter-
collegiate contest, and, if possible, beat
them.
Coxswain Colson, of the regular var
sity crew, has been coaching the girls
for months past, on rowing machines,
and now he has taken charge of their
work on the lake, where he gives them
an hours training every fair day in
/ the week.
/ The Cornell girls have been dabbiing
in rowing for three years, but this is
, the first season that they have made
serious effort to accomplish some
thing. They have not yet established
a training table, as the need OF a spe-
cial diet has not yet been felt, but this
is only a question Of time, as the attn
letic work which now forms con-
siderable part of the routine of the col
lege girl is steadily making her taller
land heavier, and the day must come
when it will be necessary to restrain
her increasing bulk, just as the train
ers of men crews do, work to re-
place fat with muscle
The Cornell crew is now composed of
Miss Dunning, bow; Miss Jewel, Miss
McNary, captain; Miss Whipple, Miss
sKellar: Miss Wait, Miss Nipple, stroke,
and Coxswains Miss Young and Miss
Rhodes The weight of the crew ranges
form 1870 to 100 pounds, the average be-
ing about -145 pounds, and mot an
ounce of fat in the boat" as one terri
bly, earnest young woman expressed it.
Speaking of the possibilities of a
! race with the Wellesley crew, the same
student said: cit would mark an epoch
in the sports of college girls. Hereto
fore all the games have been between
classes of the same college, but these
competitions lack the Zest and excite
ment attending a contest between col
leges. Such a contest would certainly
provoke a spirit Of rivalry, and every
student would do her level best to

me of another hat / saw. There We're

higher by long, stiff loops of black rio

wide double box plating of black

blossoms with leaves and long stems,
which completely encircied the hat

| like gold. On the crown, or place where
one ought to be, were four large pink

with changeable silk in blue and yellow

| a large ostrich tip curling over toward
the back Numbers of pretty pom

coarse black CT dark brown or green
braid with loops and bows made CT

DIED FROM POISON.
Paris Green in Claus Behrens'
Stomach.
HENRY BBHDTs TESTIMONY

Implioatss the Wife Of the Deceased In
the Cause OF His Dsash-Evidenos Be-
fore the Coroner's Jury 1T Davenport
1t was developed before the coro-
ner's jury at Davenport this morn
ing that Claus Behrens, over whose
death mystery has hung. had been
deliberately poisoned. Chemist Mad
ler's report revealed the existence OF
Paris green in the stomach, in addi-
ton to the arsenical and zinc sub
stances used in the embalming fluid.
The testimony of Henry Bendt, OF
this city, with whom Behrens' wife
had lived from October last until q
short time ago, was taken, showing
that the woman had been on affec-
tionate terms with Bendt and had
written him letter July 15-which
was produced-and in which she
spoke in terms that indicated her
purpose to get back and live. with
him some way. Bendt also testified
that he had used Paris Green on his
place here in killing potato bugs and
that Mrs. Behrens had assisted him
in the operation. and that the poison
disappeared rapidly.
Now In This City.
Mrs. Behrens is now in Rock Isl.
and, but it is quite probable the
coroner's Jury will implicate her in
the cause of her husbands death.
On her return to him, after living
since last fall with Bendt in this city,
it is said she had him transfer his
life insurance from his daughter to
her.
