4 Simple Remedy.


From the Chautauquan.
One remedy which can be used with great
frequency and often with great benefit In
household medicine Is that which Is popu-
larry known as the sweet spirit of inter,
which is employed. as many persons know,
for the purpose Of allaying moderate fever
and nervous excitement. particularly when
these symptoms arise in young children.
1t is given to a child in a dose Of from ten
to twenty drops. generally in cold water,
and this may be repeated every two hours
during the night. AS a rule it tends to
increase the activity of the kidneys and
also the activity Of the skin, SO that as the
temperature falls the child frequently
breaks out into slight perspiration. These
doses. or ones which slightly larger,
are entirely harmless In practically every
disease which will be met with and it is
only when very large roses amounting to
several teaspoonfuls, are given at once that
sweet spirit of inter has the power of doing
great harm.
1t is a curious fact that If given In very
cold water, and when the patient is lightly
covered. sweet spirit of inter will act CHIEF
ly on the kidneys, whereas If it Is given in
hot lemonade to which has been added
a little whisky or brandy and II at the
same time the patient Is warmly covered
in bed. it will very frequently produce a
profuse sweat and so will tend to break up
a forming cold. This drug should be bought
in small quantities and fresh supply OBJ
taiEed each time 1t is needed.

Mr.. Strasburger. who has the score card
privilege at the base ball park, blames the
Inaccuracies in the batting lists upon the
managers OF the teams. who make sudden
changes in the batting lists after the score
cards have been printed. He promises to
make every effort to have the lists correct,
and will see that the batteries and any
changes that have been made win not only
on q special blackboard. Mr.. Strasburger
stated further that no secondhand score
cards are allowed on sale. and II any have
been sold 1t was done surreptitiously by q
dishonest employe.
He will not only gladly refund the money
In every instance where an old score card
has been sold, but will endeavor to prevent
such sale in the first place. He hopes
that calling attention to the mistakes on
the score card will influence the base ball
managers to be more accurate in their an
nouncements.

The most important college boat race in

Harvard and Cornell universities will line
up for four-mile contest. Crews from
these universities have not competed since
1873. when Cornell defeated both in a race

intercollegiate aquatics and confined her

A great deal has been said about the SUI
periority of the English oars. They are a

that they are the same oars that Ameri-

1t Occurred Suddenly at His Home
In BrOokland.
The vicinity of Brookland was greatly
shocked yesterday by the news OF the sud
den death of Mr.. Charles Stewart Of 4th
street, near the South Brookland road 1t
appears that when his daughter Alberta
left for school yesterday morning she
called goodbye to her father, who was
in bed. he had not been well for the
past few days. but. receiving no reply. she
thought he was asleep. and left the house
without disturbing him. When she re-
turned in the afternoon she discovered he
was dead, and from the hurried examina-
ton of the physicians later in the evening.
it was found that he must have died dur
ing the night
DIR. Andrew Stewart of Washington.
nephew of the deceased, and. DIR. Hood of
o street. the family physician, were i'm
mediately summoned. The body was taken
to Gawlers undertaking establishment,
from which the funeral will take place. A
telegram was at once sent to Mr.. Stewards
brother in Pennsylvania. who will probably
arrive today. Alberta was taken last even
ing to the home of her cousin DR.. Andrew
Stewart, l42 Q street, where she will re-
main indefinitely.
Mr.. Charles Stewart was about sixty-flve
years old. and was retired paymaster OF
The United States navy. He was a man of
many peculiarities. and lived alone with
his little daughter on a large estate on 4th
street. Brookland- About a year ago he
lost his fourteen-year-o son, Frank, who
had always been the close companion for
his younger sister Mr. Stewart had visited
DIR. Hood recently, and was told he was
too i'll to be about. His death was a severe
blow to his daughter. For several years
past the deceased had lived the life of a
1use, having no one about the house
but his son and daughter. and after the
death of his son, his daughter was his sole
companion. He had very little inter-
course with his neighbors. and so but little
was known of his mode Of life. He owned
a large estate which is considered verv
valuable but he paid little attention to It's
cultivation.

CORNELL DOES A FAST MILE.
Capt. Spillman Goes Back to His OIL
Place In the Boat.

CaDt. Sp1llman Goes Back to HIS Old
Place In the Boat.
The college crews at Poushkeepsie were
all late in getting out for the evening prac-
ttce yesterday, as the contact of wind and
tide made choppy sea, which did not sub
side until almost 9 o'clock. At that hour
the water became tranquil, and Courtney
ordered his three Cornell crews into their
boats. taking them out to do an exhibition
mile for the benefit Of DR.. Walter Peet, the
well-known coach and rowing expert. This
mile proved to be a magnificent exhibition
Of speed. and it indicated that the crew
which beats Cornell must be remarkably
fast. The subs got the best of the start
by about a quarter of a length over the
varsity. who led the freshmen by about
the same distance. There was no material
change in this order over the mile. The
tide carried the crews almost one hundred
yards below the mark at the start. SO the
trial lacked just that distance of being a
full mile. The time was 4:15.
Captain Spiilman rowed at his old place
in the varsity boat last evening. He has
been troubled with an injury to his wrist
which has been painful. but 1t was so much
better that he was allowed to row. Court
ney is anxious to keep Spillman IN the
boat He waXed enthusiastic in speaking
Of the young man and said: Why. it seems
as If there Is a whole extra horsepower In

terribly with his left jabs, opening a
wound under the right eye an inch OF more

down Greggains body.

At one time il was thought that 1t would
be. necessary to row the races up stream
owing 20 the state of the tide late in the
afternoon, but so many protests were made
that it was decided to fix the start earlier
than usual and row the four-mile races
down stream the ebb tide. The two
mile races will be rowed UP stream. To
those on the observation train it will make
little difference whether the races are
rowed up or down, but to the thousands
who will view the contests from the river
banks 1t will make a great difference. Be-
tween four and five thousand will be &C
commodated on the observation train. which
is composed of nat cars, each holding its
own grand stand. with raised seats. Last
year Ii was estimated that 10000 persons
saw the varsity race At least that many
will see the Cornell Y ale-Harvard contest

Trying Three Strokes.
Considerable interest has been added to
the race owing to the fact that MIR. R. C..

has been engaged for some months in
coaching the Harvard crew and Installing
English methods. Many persons have gone
so far as to claim that the English stroke
will be on trial as against the American
stroke The verdict that is formed on the
result of a single race or of three or four
races will not be of much value. There are
too many other considerations that should
be weighed. A good crew with a poor
stroke will defeat a poor crew with a good
stroke In such a case the most enduring
crew wins. Then. again. a good crew with
good stroke may row in a boat badly
rugged. Rigging Is largely a matter Of ex-
perimenting, and the fault of bad rigging,
may be ascribed to the stroke. For in

more leverage, but renders the boat more
