AN AWFUL OBJECT LESSON.
But IL Failed to Have Exactly the Eject
Desired.

Desired.
The stereoptioon has become an i'm
portant factor in political campaign
work. Pictorial arguments appeal TO an
audience with a force and effectiveness
which can be secured in no other way.
But wise discretion must be exercised
in making illustrations which are easily
understood and capable of only one in
depreciation.
A Prohibition campaign orator the
other night undertook to show by stere-
opticon views the terrible effects of
whisky upon the human system. He
threw upon the screen large disk filed
with wriggling monsters and remarked:
Here you see a magnified drop OF
waterAordinary drinking water. You
will observe that it is teeming with life.
I shall now add a little alcohol to the
drop Of water, and you will observe
how it affects animal life even in the
lowest forms of existence. This will aid
us to understand it's effects upon the
higher animals and man himself"
Whereupon the alcohol was intro
duced into the experiment, and the
squirming animalcules ceased to wrig-
gle and tumbled to tho bottom of the
disk, dead. Before the orator could
make any application Of his illustration
an old man standing on the curb i'll
quired:
"Say, mister, was that drop Of wa.
ter-just such water as we drink every
day."
"Yes SIR" replied the illustrator
"Chuck full of snakes and thingsp"
GAS you saw moment ago; yes. :"
"And whisky knocked 'em all out
stiff and cold?'
Precisely. Alcohol is terribly de.
structive to animal life"
"Well," remarked the old man, with
an emphatic snap, II never have uset
the stuff. but if that's the way il, works
I'm never going to drink any more wa
ter without adding little whisky to j
first to make it fit to drink. "-Chioagt

The Grays Take Another Game From the
Wilkesbarres.

Yesterday the Providence Grays kept up
the pace set the day before and defeated
the Wilkesbarres i'm u struggle that was
close and interesting throughout. The
Providence team made one run in the
second inning and maintained that lend
until the fifth inning when Wilkesbarre
tied the score. Bassett was firstJa bat

line hit which went sailing toward
Pitcher Smith with caDnon-like Velocity.
Ihe pitcher saw the sphere coming ana
tried To avoid 10 by ducking and partly
turning his back To It. He did not succeed
In avoiding IL. however, but was struck
on the right side OF the head just back OF
the ear and dropped 10 the ground uncon-
scious. Bassett started To go TO the
assistance of the prostrate pitcher, but
was warned back by the coacDer and
reached second base before the ball was
felded. Then time was called and every
thing possible was done for the injured
pitcher BY the advice of DR. Abbott he
was removed to the Rhode Island hospital
where he recovered so rapidly that he was
allowed To leave In time TO accompany
the rest of the team on the New York boat
last evening. The hospital doctors said
he had "a very narrow escape from fracture
Of the skull.

Little Talk About the Training. Except NJ
Harvard.


Since the selection Of Pouehkecpsie as
the course for all tho big college boat races
the different crews have got down To the
most serious kind OF training. There will
be four triangular races, the dates of which
follow: Wednesday. June 90, Yale, Har.
ward and Cornell freshmen; Friday, June
%, Yale, Harvard and Cornell varsity
Wednesday, June 30, Cornell Columbia
and Pennsylvania freshmen; Friday, July
2, Cornell Columbia and Pennsylvania
varsity. Little is said about the training
of any Of the crews except Harvard, which
keeps up the interest manifested from the
outset on account of the methods Of Leh-
man, the English expert The easy work
of the first few weeks is said 10 have been
changed To the other extreme, and two
men have already been sent away to re-
cuperate.
Such condition cannot but cause CON
siderable dissatisfaction among the stu
dents, for they feel that overtraning has
been the trouble in the past, and it was
partly To correct this that Lehman was In
vited 10 come to America. The original
plan was an English coach, an English
stroke and an English system Of training,
the last of which was interpreted 10 hc
something great deal lighter than the
former drudgery of crew training.
Cambridge men generally have conf
dencc in the stroke, but realize. that the
stroke itself cannot win unless the men
who pull IL are strong and possessed Of
good staying powers. Lehman says thnt
there is no danger; that the men are only
good, healthy tired when they have
finished their work, and that June % will
find them "a strong, vigorous crew, III leas
