THE NEW LONDON BOAT RACE.
Preparing for the Ynle-COrnell-Har-
ward Contest.

PreparinE for the Ynle-COrnell-Har-
ward Contest.
The big college boat race of the year
will be rowed at New London June =
The Yale University crew and substitutes
have arrived at New London and have
taken possession of their quarters on the
Thames. The members of the varsity
eight and the three substitutes all are in
fairly good shape physically and happy
over the prospect Of a fortnights training
on the Thames. Williams and Cross, one
of the substitutes, have been ailing re-
Gently but are now ia good trim, and H.
p. Wickes, who has been rowing at No.
2 is expected to join the crew within
few days. Wickes is now confined at the
Yale infirmary, suffering from a slight at
tack of malaria, but is expected to be out
soon.
The oarsmen spent the first day quietly
and were not called out for practice until
late i'm the afternoon. The work then was
very light and will continue to be on
this order for several days until the men
are thoroughly acquainted with their new
surroundings. Greenway Is rowing In
Wickes' place at No. and will hold this
position until he is replaced by the latter
oarsman.
The new shell which was damaged in
the loading at New Haven is thought not
to be seriously broken, and efforts will be
made to repair 1t at once.
The Cornell Crew.
Only a few days remain for the Cornell
men to leave Cayuga lake for New Lon
don. Captain Colson says that on the 18th
the crews pack up their paraphernalia and
leave on the following day. During the
past week Coach Courtney has been giving
the men long. hard rows Of from six to
ten miles, but 1t is probable that the re-
manning time will ee spent in developing
speed lin time trials.
1t is believed that the final change In
the Cornell shell was made Monday night
and that the crew which will row both
races for Cornell viii be practically the one
that rowed Monday night. Moore, who has
been absent for two weeks on work Ia the
college OF civil engineering returned 10

McHALE RELEASED,

Rochester Club.
Mr.. Wagner decided this morning To
crop off another little piece from the eN-
pense account and released Outfie!der
Jimmy McHale to the Rochester Eastern
League team. Mciale came to Washing
ten as tie most tcuted player that ever
came out of minor league ranks. but IN
fortunately for him and the club alike, he
failed to meet even half way the iauda-
tory predictions of his future in the big
league. McHale was supposed to be d fair
sticker, great fielder and q fast base
ruLner. In not enc of these qualliica lions
did he shine with invented luster, and as
his salary a stiff ere. his release nat
urally followed. During his short stay in
Washington McHa,e made lots Of friends
among the players and fans ana he will
leave accompanied by many good wishes.
He will doubtless get back into his last
years form while with the RCchos ,ers
and again astonsh the minor .eaguers
with his sensational playing.

COLLEGES ARE COSTLY.

The recent request made by the presi-
dent of the University of Chicago for an
additional SjO00O0O to be added to its en-
dowment funds shows how costly thing
a great university is. This institution is
one of the youngest of the great schools
of the country; it has already received in
cndowments Sl2O00,0OD, nut vet there is
IN annual deficiency Of something like
$20000o, which is not provided for and
has to hc raised from outside sources.
To provide for this about s. O0O.O0O more
should be added to the revenue producing
funds Of the institution. The University
of Chicago is not i'm this respect an cN
CeptiOn to the general rule in this Coun-
try. II costs over 81 ,OOO. 600 annually to
run Harvard university and its endow-
ment is about $1,000 0G0. Yale has funds
aCErcGating 81 5>2. 900 and vet the iEs,i-
tuition Is poor and is always pressed for
adequate funds to carry on its ,Nuca-
tiOnal work. Columbia. in the city of
New York. has 80 4O0 0d0 i'm funds, but it
is restricted i'm each of its departments
by lack of money. Some of the other ami
versitieS i'm this country having larI"
productive funds are Cornell New
York $6,%)oOOo; Girard, Pennsylvania,

Early yesterday morning the body
Of John Houston, of AvoCa, was found
near Benefits Coliery, near Dupont
with a terrible wound in the breast and
his face badly disfgurcd, the result of a
gun shot fired by some unknown per-
son. Deceased and his brother Jerry
worked in the Pickaway Collicry, sew
eral miles distant, and having no home.
they preferred keeping bach" in that
ncighborhood Saturday being pay day
they came to Dupont and visited sew
eral places together. A woman from
Dupont said she saw them at about IL
o'clock on that evening and one of them
carried a gun. This is supposed to he
the weapon that caused his death. His
brother says they were separated dur
ing the evening and he cannot account
for the cause of the tragedy.
Coroner Evans was notified and there
being no one to claim the body, he
handed it over to Undertaken Fenner,
who took it to Pittston. Deceased was
about % years of age, and a son Of An

poor board will deflay expenses of the
funeral.

BIG FIRE.
Valuable Barns Burned nt Waymart
Yesterday Morning.

Yesterday morning the people in
Gruver's hotel and adjoining buildings
were awakened by the cracking of the
burning wood and the noise made by
terrified horses kicking against their
stalls on looking cut they discovered
that one Of the big barns next TO the
hotel was in flames. There wcr" two
of these structures, one of them built
with two l. projections. being equal 10
five ordinary barns. In addition to
this there were many sheds in the i'm
mediate vicinity.
When the fre was discovered IL was
already too late to stop the progress OF
the flames with the means at hand. \
stiff gale was blowing from the west
and the greatest excitement prevailed
on ali sides as it was feared the hotels
and the cottages OF c. L. Spencer and
T.. Il. Reese, of this city, ON the oppo-
site side of the street would also be
swept away.
Luckily none of these suffered So
vercly owing TO the saturated Condi-
tions mentioned above. Blazing shin
giles and great glowing Cinders from the
burning barns fell on the roofs of all
but were eXtnguished by ready hands
before they could ignite anything.
The barns were burned to the ground
and the handsome shade trees at their
front were ruined. BY prompt action
the horses wagons and harness were
taken out before the flames reached
their quarters. No clue as to how the
fire originated has yet been had. The
fact that Waymart had previously been
visited by a number Of large fires of late
leads some to the conclusion that there
are firehugs i'm the village.
The view Of the contlagration from
FarvicW was Il magnificent one. To-
day the lawns surrounding the dwell
ings of the Carbondale cottarers are
covered with debris. showing tho mar
row escape Of the buildings from de-
structior. The amount of insurance on
the barns could not be learned.
