journed yesterday after having been
in continuous session since April 26,
in addition to the regular session of 90

several members threatened to fight,
while one dared the speaker to a per-
sOnal combat on the floor Of the house.

Speed the Gospel tidings on
To the waiting hearts of men,
What you have to give or say,
Give 1t now, and say to-day.

Send the blessed Word along,
Into every land and tongue.

Hand in hand and heart to heart,

Some may SOW and some may plow,
Do it carly, do it now.

A BRAVE LITTLE GIRL.
She Drives Off Burglars With a Big
Knife.

Haverhill, Mass, July dora Dow,
only Is years old, and employed as SER
want in the house of G. E. Thorne in the
outskirts, drove two robbers out Of the
house. this forenoon, stabbing one of
th1...i in the back with a bread knife.
The girl was alone in the house at the
time and her brave act has occasioned q
sensation. According to her story, which
she related to the police, two men drove
up to the house this forenoon and told
her they had come for the furniture.
She refused absolutely to let them take
amy thing until Mr.. Thorne came home.
Lets get a rope and tie the little
wixen," said one of the men and he left
the house, probably to get one, while the
other attemptedst to grapple with the girl
He found out soon enough, however,
that he had more than he bargained for.
The girl warded him off just long
enough to reach out to q table and grat
bread knife. With this in her hand she
attacked the robber who turned quickly
for the door, but the girl was quicker and
as he passed out on the run she managed
to drive the knife for a considerable
depth into his back. The man yelled fo1
his companion, who came round the Cor
ner of the house and helped him into
the team and both drove off together at
a high rate of speed.
Miss Dow remained in the house until
Mr.. Thorne's return at noon, when she
told him of the affair and the police were
notified. The girl is quite strong for hel
age and gives evidence of considerable
courage.

THE COLLEGE RACE TO-DAY.
Cornell win Compete Against Columbia
and Pennsy.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, July 1.-The
second varsity race over the Hudson river
four mile course here, and which includes
| the crews from Columbia, Pennsylvania
and Cornell takes place, tide and water
permitting, tomorrow afternoon between
the hours of and 7.30 o'clock. 1t is Of
| unusual interest, because the successful
crew rows in it, and it's defeat or the
smashing of the time records made in
that race, will mean the raising Of the
serious question as to whether Columbia
| and Pennsylvania should not be admitted
to future contests in which Yale and Har-
ward take part with Cornell. The best of
information here tonight leads to the be-
lief that Cornell will not be defeated, but
it is also said upon like good authority
that her crew will have to row as they
never rowed before and that with any
kind of favorable conditions the records
Of last week will be gone under. This is
the opinion, openly expressed, this after
noon by Coach Cowles of Columbia and
concurred in by the rest. In the drawing
for positions, this afternoon, Cornell had
its usual good luck, and drew the outside
course where the ebb tide flows the
Pennsylvanian drew the sandwich or
middle place.
The officials who will take care of all
interests tomorrow are as follows:
Referee, Harris r. Reynolds, Poughkeep-
sic; judges on referees boat, Cornell, Ben
iamin Ide Wheeler; Pennsylvania, James
Bond; Columbia, Guy Richards. Time
keepers, Cornell. Charles S, Francis;
pennsylvania, Joseph N. Mitcheson;
Columbia, Charles H. Mapes. Judges at
the finish, Cornell. S. G. Schofeld;
Pennsylvania, Charles S. Potts, M. D.;
Columbia, H. H. Oddie.
The crews of Columbia, Pennsylvania
and Cornell are all rowing very fast.
Perhaps the most notable improvement
in rowing has been made by the Columbia
crew, where the disheartening experience
of last year has made it almost impossible
to get up enthusiasm. There is plenty of
it there now, and Mr.. Cowles' remarkable
work has had great effect. Pennsylvania
is rowing the fastest looking boat on the
river, and the longest stroke. Columbia
is rowing the fastest stroke and Cornell
the neatest and prettiest and the slowest.

with the honor that had been paid them
by the Navy Department. in sending to
them fine new ship to aid them in their
celebration. Besides celebrating the
Queens Jubilee the Observation-Disclosures
were celebrating the 400th anniversary of
the discovery of the coast by John Cabot
And according to the officers of the Mass
achusetts they did the affair well and it
was the greatest time that Newfoundland
has probably ever seen.
But to these gentlemen St. Johns seems
almost out of tho world. They hadn' t
had letter or an American newspaper
for two weeks, and their first questions
on meeting the reporters were: "Who
won the boat racer"
(Which club is ahead in the National
league?'
''How are the Bostons doing2"
"What is the prospect of the Senate's
adjourning this week."
"What has happened in the world, any
howS"
care we at war with Spain yet?''
"How is Hawaiip''
And about one hundred and fifteen
other questions Of similar character
which the reporters tried vainly to
answer.
When these gentlemen were informed
that Cornell won both boat races and that
the Blue and Crimson was trailing in the
waters of the Hudson, they sat up shout
