fFRoM THE SECRETARY

Auousta. This parish is not satisfied
to lie back on the honors OF It's new
church, but is pushing forward as
helpful force in the community. Bto'
Eyatt is a steady worker, and accomp-
fishes a great deal without making any
outward chow. In the church service
they are making special feature OF the
music, and that together with the earn
est words of the pastor, draw good audi
ences in spite of the weather.
Columbus.-Rev. w. S. Ralph has be-
gun his eighth year in this parish. 1t Is
a good sight in these days of pastoral
transitions to find pastor and people 30
we'll welded. May this good relation
ship continue to exist is our prayer and
may others catch the spirit. Bro. Ralph
is taking no vacation, and is ready with
his good wife to help in other parishes
Muk,canago.-Under the able leader
ship of Mrs. N. M. Opdale, this society
is daily becoming stronger. They are
planning a series Of sacred concerts that
will no doubt interest many in the Work.
Stouohton. young people sent
two delegates to Detroit, and the Union
has gained much inspiration from their
reports. The pastor is enjoying his va
cation, which, it is hoped will give him
strength and courage for the work that
is before him. Bro. Herbener was or
dained at our recent convention; he is
an earnest worker and we are interested
in seeing him succeed.
Fort Atkinson parish engaged
Bro. Evans for his third year, and the
outlook is good in every department.
There is rest season during the pastors
vacation, but it is time of gathering
force. The secretary will visit this par
ish and supply for the pastor the last OF
the month.
EIkhorn.-The church is being re-
paired and put in good condition. 1t is
our hope in the fall that this parish will
be on the active list. The prospect is
bright for the good people are quite
awake.
Racii,e.-We always expect good
words from this parish, and they will
come 80 long as our faithful brother is
with them. He has returned refreshed
from his extended trip. and the prospects
for the year are the best. Bro. Illman.
the Michigan missionary has visited
some time with the pastor, and supplied
the pulpit to the pleasure and profit Of
the people. The society recently gave a
lawn entertainment. Hoyt L. Conary
the impersonator, was the main attrac-
ton, and in the face of large expenses
they cleared 800.
Monroe.-August is vacation month
with US. The pastor is spending his va.
cation in town. and holds himself in
readiness to visit any parish that may
need his services. On Friday evening

PoUGHKEEPsIE, juno 30.-It is believed that
Fridays race belongs to Cornell on the theory
that she has demonstrated that her varsity
eight is much faster than any crew in training
on the Hudson this season. Tho beating that
she gave to Harvard and Yale will not, how.
ever. win the race Friday, as Columbia and
Pennsylvania have crews Of endurance. and the
race will be rowed out to the finish. In prac-
tice Columbia has been putting in from eighteen
to twenty miles a day and Pennsylvania from
twelve to fifteen. Both the red and blue and
the blue and white crews show up better phys
ically than the eights OF the crimson and the
blue did last week.
Columbia is rowing a stroke similar TO that OF
Yale. except that the slide is longer and tho
oarsmen are slower on the recover and tho catch.
Wards stroke requires a quick expenditure OF
strength and energy on the catch and Is neceS-

with HAD Checks He swindIes Proprietors or
Boarding schools.

A clever swirdler, who has been obtaining
small sums Of money from the proprietors Of
girls boarding schools in this State and in New
Jersey, attempted ten days ago to swindle Mrs.
John Cunningham Hazen. proprietor of the
fashionable school at Pelham Manor, out Of
$50. Owing to the shrewdness of Mrs. Hazen's
daughter. who handles the business end OF the
school for her mother, the swindler didn't get
anything.
At 10 o'clock one morning about ten days ago
there came to the school at Pelham Manor q
man who said he wanted to place in the school
n young girl who had been left in his charge.
AS Mrs. Hazen remembers the man. he was
about IS years old. 3 feet o inches tall. had
light hair and n light mustache, and wore n
suit OF mixed gray cloth.
He presented u card. which read: civilian
b. sheldon, Surgeon United States Navy. sta
toned at Annapolis." The card was printed.

I'm sorry. but our school closes during tho
save in our regular season" said Mrs. Hazen.
vh rihHt' ma madam nduo said the man nam i have a letter
help me in my predicament. It's from a very
dear friend, Of yours. the Rev. Theodore l.. Guy
This impressed Mrs. Hazen, and she read the
letter, which was as follows:

'Dr. sheldon said tho girl was the daugh-
ter of Capt. Tremnine of the United States
navy, now at sea, that her mother was IN in
Egypt. and that tho girl had been staying with
her grandfather, Franklin b. Stewart OF III
broadway, who was about to sail for Europe,
Mrs. Hazen agreed to place the girl under the
daughter. The man gave, Miss Hezen, n check
for $3.50, drawn on the Chemical Bank Of this
city to his. order. and signed by Franklin b..
Stewart. He asked for 5000.
but the check is for $3.50" said Miss Hazen.
why, SO II is" said the man. well, give mo
your check for $50 and a receipt for the $500"
Miss Hazen began to think. She glanced at
the printed card, and then It occurred to her
that the whole thing looked queer. She
wrote out a receipt for $3.50, tossed il to the
man, and then, taking out her watch, said:
'Do you know, you've only got seven minutes
to catch your train in. I should advise you to
catch It."
II think I'd better" said the man. and put
ting tho receipt in his pocket, no bowed polite
ly and went out.
Miss m didn't como the next day. The
$3.50 check was found to DO worthless, and DR.,
Cuylcr rcpudiated the letter. DR.. Cuyier saws
that the man has used his name at a number OF
boarding schools. and the Chemical Bank has
got a lot of the checks. In all of his previous
efforts the swindler seems to have been sue
~cessful. once getting a good 1000 check as
change from a bogus one for $500. There Is

Colt Have to Say.

~ -No ~ 10y
PoUoHKEEPsrE, June We were inspired
In the race this afternoon by a desire to redeem
our defeat of last week, said Capt. Colt of tho
Cornell freshman crew at quarters tonight.
Tho boys all rowed a good race from start to
finish. and kept we'll together all the way
through, better than we did in the race with
Yale and Harvard. We did not hit tho stroke
up until we spurted in tho last quarter of a
mile. and even then VIC did not go higher than
a thirty or thirty.one clip. Before we went
out Mr.. Courtney told us to row in our best
form and that he expected us to do our best.
The boys will keep In training until we all
break up on Friday. night. as IT would hardly do
for a part OF us to be free from restrictions
while the rest are under them. The only thing
l regret Is that we did not row a couple OF
seconds faster, 30 az to lower fale's record OF
last week"
Coach Courtney said tonight that the race
was a good ono and he was glad, OF course. tho
boys won. but ho thought they ought TO have
made better time. The reason for the failure to
hit the stroke up after the first mile. he said he
had been told, was because OF apprehension that
No. Q would catch u crab.
Ellis Ward remarked that he was 80 surprised
at the showing of the freshman crew that he
was the finest he or anybody else over saw.
