intercollegiate BOat Race.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y. June 25.-In
the history of American intercolle-
giate athletics, there never has yet
taken place boat race that has at
tracted Sd much interest in aquatic cir
cles as the triangular meeting OF the
crews of Yale, Harvard and Cornell,
and which will be pulled off on the
Hudson river this afternoon. The
course is four miles and the race will
be rowed in the middle of the afternoon
down stream, with the tide. All three
crews have been doing active trainin G
for weeks past. The contest will set
tie the rival claims of nearly q quarter
of century to the intercollegiate
championship, as, since the year 1876,
when Yale defeated Harvard by tweu-
ty-nine seconds in four miles and Cor
nell defeated Harvard by four seconds
in three miles, the crews from New
Haven and Ithaca have not come to
getber. An immense throng of visit
ors is here. The boats will be follow
ed by train of forty-four observation
cars on the New York Central whic b

VAST SUMS GIVEN FOR CHARITY.
Religious People ENpend Millions in
Colleges for the Negroes.

Colleges fOr the Negroes
Few people have any idea of the
enormous sums of money devoted to
charity by religious persons and bodies.
Over $1,G00,00O a year is spent help
ing southern negroes alone by one Bap-
tIst society, and that not national one.
As part of this educational help there
has recently been organized at Rich
mond, Va, for the special benefit of The
colored people of Maryland, the District
of Columbia, Virginia and West Nir-
ginia, what is known as the Virginia
Union university, with affiliated acad-
emies at Hampton and Lynchburg.
Another part of this educational help
for the colored race is famous old Way
land seminary, i'll Washington, which
occupies one of the most desirable
building sites in the city-in good times
worth $250,O0O at least. 1t is now under
discussion to sell the old seminary, add
the proceeds to Union university en-
dowment and remove the school to
Richmond, making it i boys college of
high grade. II is iii handling these
large educational affairs that Baptist
and other mission boards of the various
churches sometimes become financially
involved.

A special statement to Congregation

A special statement to Congregation
al churches tells of the educationa
work of the American Missionary as
sociation among the negroes and poor
whites of the south and the Indians OF
the west, says the New York Evangelist
Post. In the south the association
maintains seventy-six schools in twelve
states, fifty-seven of them being for
negro children caring for 1904 pupils.
the .other nineteen being for the
whites of the mountains, 4O5 Of whose
children are being educated, many OF
them to become future teachers among
their people. The aim of the associa-
tion is largely to provide
local teachers. OF the fifty-seven
schools for negroes, only twenty of
them are what are known as common
schools" Wherever the elementary
instruction provided by the state or
county for the colored children becomes
adequate, the association removes its
primary schools to more needy districts,
or diverts the funds to the normal of
training schools. In the work OF train
ing teachers and preachers for the In
dams, the association maintains twen-
ty-one schools, with $40 pupils. 1t has
been found necessary to cut the appro-
priation for the Indian work during
the last four years from S57 800 to $685.

Fast Travelling.

Eighty-three and one-tenth miles in
eighty-two minutes; an average of q
mile in less than q minute. That is
the record of train on the Texas &
Pacific railroad last week between
Plaouemine and Gouldsboro, includ-
ing i've stops, so the T. & P. can be
placed on the record book as among
the acknowledgements of the world.
The reason for this remarkable run
was on account of the illness of the
wife of Senator Wilbert, who desired
to bring her to New Orleans with all
possible speed. He wired Dallas for q
special train and in few moments it
was das hing on its way to Plaquemine,
where Mrs Wilbert was placed aboard
at 7:42 D. m. and at Gouldsboro at 9:2O,
making the remarkable time record
above.

Mayor Harrison has plan for the
relief of Chicago's unemployed. He
declares that something must be done
for the hungry men who daily throng
the city hall begging for work. In
their interests he has q suggestion
which he will make to the civil service
commissioners at once. The mayors
idea is to extend the list of 800 eligi-
bles on the laborers' list to 5000, and
give every applicant at least ten days.

working the men in squads or shifts
will not violate the law. Laborers now
permanently employed must share with
their comrades. He is also confident
the plan will stand between many fam
lies and absolute observation-disclosures

changed from lonesome, dismal place
to place of amusement aud recrea-

by the chief issuing orders that any
fireman caught about a saloon would be

stay at the department and others go
there and play billiards or cards and
amuse themselves in every way pOssi-

many people call there and spend q

The Philadelphia Collectorship.

PHILADELPHIA, June 25-Within
the next two weeks President McKin-
ley is expected to appoints a collector OF
the port of Philadelphia, and there is
a red-hAt interest in the personnel of
the successful nominee, from the fact
that the appointment will probably
determine the future attitude of Sem
ator Quay toward the administration.
There are but two candidates-State
Senator Wesley Thomas, of this city,
whose interests have been made per-
sonal matter by Senator Quay, and
Judge Thomas J. Clayton of Chester
county, who was one OF the five Nc
Kinley delegates from Pennsylvania
to ST. Louis, and is the distinct can
didate of the McKinleyites. From a
personal standpoint the contest is of
national interest from the fact that
Judge Clayton is brother of ex-Sen-
ator Powell Clayton, of Arkansas,
President McKinley's appointee as
minister to Mexico, and of William
Henry Harrison Clayton, appointed by
President Mckinley as United States
attorney for the southern district OF
There were originally four
brothers, one of them having been
killed in Arkansas as the outcome of
political feud ten years since, and
with two of the survivors already pro-
vided for, the Quayites are sarcastical'
ly asking whether it is really peces-
sary for the president to do anything
more for the Clayton family. Senator
Quay has made a characteristic fight
for his friend, and if the plum should
fall to the third of the Clayton brCoh-
ers, it is predicted that he will be
heard from in his usual vigorous fashion.
