coRNELEs OFFER 70 YALE.
If Latter VIII Row on Lake Cayuga
Former VIII Pay Her Expenses.


Ithaca, N. Y, Dec. 31-The interview
with Bob Cook of Yale published yes
terday was read with considerable in
terest at Cornell. Mr. Cooks remarks
have not tended to clarity the situation
as some of the powers that be are IN
clined to take offense at some of the
statements. Prof. E. w. Huffcut, presi-
dent of the Cornell athletic council
took the matter as a joke, and TODAY
gave out the following interview: eve
will make Yale even better offer. If
she VIII row on the Cayuga lake course
where no dredging or moving or
crooking is necessary, we will pay all
her expenses while here, and give her
the choice of the lanes. There is no
better course in the country than the
Cayuga lake course. 1t would not be a
paving venture, financially, to row here:
but Cornell does not row for money, and
is willing to stand all the expense of
the race If Yale will bring her crew
here. We will provide her with boat
house, living quarters, coaching
launches, and all paraphernalia for
training. While here she shall be our
guest and partake of our hospitality.
There will be no profits or we would di-
vide those with her on equal terms"

CAPT. STEPHENSON TO BE REIN
STATED.

New York, Dec. 31.-The appellate di-
vision today annulled the dismissal on
Sept. 6, 1896, of Capt. Stephenson from
the police force, and directed that he
be reinstated. The court says that
Stephenson was found guilty on charges
which were not supported by evidence,
and the commissioners committed the
same errors which vitiated the convic-
tion of the captain on a criminal
charge. The charge was taking bas-
ket of apples as a bribe.
The police commissioners had their
last meeting tonight One of their last
acts was to restore Capt. Stephenson to
duty, and to order the payment Of his
back salary, amounting to about S10,-
600.

A TREMENDOUS CANON.

John Muir, in the January Atlantic)
1t is abruptly countersunk i'm the for
est plateau, says John Muir in the Jan
uary Atlantic, so that you see nothing
Of It until you are suddenly stopped on
its brink, with its immeasurable wealth
Of div,nely colored and sculptured build
ings before you and beneath you. No
matter how far you may have wan
dered hitherto, or how many famous
gorges and valleys YOU have seen, this
one, the Grand Canon of the Colorado,
Will seem as novel to you, as unearthly
in the color and grandeur and quantity
of It's architecture, as if you had found
1t after death on some other star; so
incomparably lovely and grand and su-
preme Is 1t above all the other delight
full canons in our fire-moulded, earth
quake-shaken, rain-washed, wave
washed, river and glacier sculptured
world.
1t is about six thousand feet deep
Where you first see it, and from rim to
rim ten to fifteen miles wide. And in
stead of being dependent for interest on
waterfalls, depth, wall sculpture and
beauty of park-lik floor, like most 9TH
er great canons, no waterfalls are in
signt and no appreciable floor space.
The big river has just room enough to
flow and roar obscurely, here and there
cropping its way as best 1t can like
weary, murmuring, overladen traveller
trying to escape from the tremendous
bewildering labyrintic abyss, while its
roar serves only to mellow and deepen
the silence.
Instead of being filled only with air.
the vast space between the walls is
crowded with natures grandest build
ings-a sublime city of them, painted
in every color of the rainbow, and
adorned with richly fretted cornice and
battlement spire and tower in endless
variety of style and architecture. Ev-
cry architectural invention of man has
been anticipated and far more in this
grandest of Gods terrestrial cities.

PROFITS OF FRENCH AUTHORS.
From London Daily News.)

VI ON 11OIlOOH Odlly NpWS.J
Our Paris correspondent writes: "The
French author whose works brought in
most money in his lifetime was Victor
Hugo Their sale has been still greater
since his death In that time they have
brought in f240,000 Louis Blanc sold the
copyright of his History of the Revolu-
tion" for 100000. 1t is now read only in
popular illustrated editions and is sold
chiefly to radical town councils for
prizes at their communal schools. Theirs
obtained the same price for the copy
right Of his History of the Consulate
and the Empire" Chateaubriand re-
ceived half as much for his memoirs.
Victor Hugo was paid a royalty of
franc volume for "Bug-Jargal," +" Hans
d'Islande," and "Notre Dame de Paris"
The latter was, next to Les Miser-
ables" his most popular work of fiction.

her as a christening gift the copyright of

Nobody reads II now, unless to pass an
examination in the literature of the last
century. Flaubert sold the copyright Of
Madame Boyary'' for f1S to Michael
Levy, who made a fortune out of that
book and Remains works. Renan signed
an agreement, which he never sought to
evade, when he was mere essayist. He
was to receive a fixed annuity from
Levy in return for all he might write,
and he bound himself to furnish GER
tain number of works in a given time.
The income seemed wealth to him when
he signed the agreement, but the merest
mess of pottage in after life. Old Dumas
was paid centime letter for his
feuiIleton of la San Felice." He had
been paid by the line, but the lines were
so short that the publisher felt he did
not receive full value. French literary
rules favored Dumas.

INTERCOLLEGIATE CHESS ToURNA.
MENT.
Harvard Assured of the Trophy for the
Coming Year.


New York, Dec. 81. - The semi-finan
round of the intercollegiate chess tourna-
ment was begun at the Columbia grammar
school in this city today, when the pair
ings and openings were as follows: Muir
doch, Yale, vs. Meyers, Columbia, Span
ish opening; Hewins, Harvard, VS. Young,
PRINCETON, French defense; Cook, Yale,
vs.. Seward, Columbia, Dutch opening;
Southard, Harvard, VS.. Dana, Princeton,
French opening.
Meyer beat Murdoch in brilliant style.
This was doubtless the finest game con-
tested in this tournament SO far Forty
SIX moves were made. Only 10 moves
We're made in the game between HeWins
and Young. This, too, was a pretty con-
test, in which the former had at first the
advantage, but the fine work Of Young
made things equal and so the PLAYERS
agreed to draw. Cook and Seward CON
tested their game very stubbornly, but
evenly, for great number of moves, and
they had to adjourn the contest untI the
evening session. At this session Cook
played well, and beat his man after 49
moves Southard's superb play was too
much for Dana, who, after II moves, re-
the possession Of the trophy for another
year: None of the other rivals can reach
the total of eight points which the Har-
VaId men nave so far scored.

A Dilemma and the Way out.

There are thousands Of Hay-Fever and
Asthma sufferers who cannot resort to a
change Of climate during their annual at
tacks, either because Of the expense or be
cause duties at home viii not permit their
absence. They have to stay and suffer.
There are many, also, who are year by year
finding that places heretofore exempt are be
coming less and less so, and they must move
on to find new locations where they can es-
cape the Hay-Feyer fiend.
Now this is all wrong. When doctors tell
you that Hay-FeYer cannot be cured, they
simply mean that they cannot cure you.
What IS It that makes one man have Hay
Fever or Asthma and another escape entire

is not the cause; the pollen Is not the cause;
nasal grOwths are not the cause.
The disease Is IN the blood and nervous

len or other exciting influences, to awaken

Our constitutional treatment for Asthma
and Hay-Fever Is addressed TO this pre-dispO-
sitiOn, and by changing the constitution 1t
eradIcates the cause and cures to stay cured,
taking out of a man that which makes him
different from the man who has no disease,
and giving a robust body strong and health
full. That these statements are correct, and
that our treatment does lust what we say,
Is testified to by thousands who have tried 1t
