SURRENDER ANp McroRY.

Lord. we have made an honest fight
And won the victory;
We fought az men who love the right
Fiercrly and fearNssly;
And now we turn aside and give
Our trembling thanks to Thee.
Lord. it Is not for us to drink
The salt cup OF defeat. 81
And Victory IS glorious.
And victory Is sweet
Yet stil we bow our heads and lay
our laurels al Thy feet.
II IS not for Americans
To boast that they have slain
The heroes who have fought and bled
For their beloved Spain
Nay-help us TO remember. Lord.
That they have died In vain.
Not sweet can Il be, Lord, to Thee,
But grievous IN thy sight,
For nations to rise up IN wrath
And man with man 10 fight
Each thinking his the only truth.
And his the only right,
But, Lord, the need was: anc we fought
Fiercely and fearlessly,
And still less sweet would It be now
More grievous-unto Thee
For US to blow the trumpet loud
In boastful jubilee. An4
SO check the tumult OF our Joy. .t
And hush the rising cheers. tn
We have the splendid Victory,
AnS they the bllstering tears
For US the laurel-wreaths; for them
Defeat that burns and sears.
1t IS the time for thought. the tiIge
For noble silence. Lord
To-day the mourning dove OF peace
Thro' all our land IS heard.
To thee alone Americans
Kiss and give up the sword.

A WoMAN's PLUCK.
She Gave the Alarm in Spite OF IA
Burglars Threats.

Burglars IhfehtS.
New York, March 27.-Mrs. William
NJ. Williams, the wife of r. D. Will
liams. of No. 81 ST. Nicholas Avenue,
had an encounter with a burglar in
her apartments yesterday afternoon,
in which he threatened twice to kill
her. In spite of the mans threats Mrs
Williams deliberately pushed an cleo
trio bell button, and the burglar be-
came frightened and ran away. He
was caught. Mrs. Williams joining in
the chase. To the police he described
himself as Henry Frost. twenty-seven
years old, of No. AL Lenox Avenue.
He said he was a bartender.
Mrs. Williams was alone about 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon, when she
heard a noise in her dining-room, on
the second floor of the house. She
went into the room and saw tall man
in a silk hat rifing a trunk. When
the man saw her he drew revolver,
and pointed it at her and said: If you
dare TO move, I'll kill you"
The man moved toward her, and
Mrs. Williams dropped on her knees
and crawled to an electric bell. She
touched the button, causing the bell
to ring in the janitor's apartments
downstairs The burglar followed her,
and. placing the revolver at her head,
cried: Now, by heaven, 1 will kill
you,'
The woman felt she was to be killed,
but the burglar, hearing the footsteps
in the lower halls, left her and rushed
out Mrs Williams ran TO the rear,
climbed out on the fire escape, de-
scended to the ground floor and then
ran to the street. She saw the man
running up the street, and she stopped
Irving Coon, who was passing, saying:
That's a burglar. Help ME catch
him."
Together they ran up the street. The
burglar, seeing that he was followed,
doubled his speed, until he saw Police
man Kennedy. Then he cOolly told the
policeman that there had been a bur-
glary and that the man had run around
the corner. Coon, however. arrived at
that moment and seized him.
Frost had in his possession box
which he had taken from Mrs. VIII
liams's trunk, and which contained
three pocketbooks, q chatelaine watch,
two diamond rings. two razors pearl
card case, and number OF other small
articles. The pocketbooks contained
about $25. He also had revolver, a
Jimmy, and six skeleton keys. The

BROKE ALL WORLDS RECORDS.
Tod Sloan Rides Eighteen Horses to-
victory in One Week


San Francisco, May 27.-Jockey Tod
Sloan last week broke all worlds records
by plotting eighteen winners in one week
out of twenty-nine mounts. This is phe-
nomenal work and is liable to stand as
the record for many years. Sloan got
his first start to fame and fortune in San
Francisco and it gave the little fellow
more pleasure to break the record here
than to score all his triumphs in England
as he has often remarked that he would
rather win here than any other city in
the country.
Sloan put up some wonderfully clever
rides during the week and showed even
to his detractors that he is easily the
premier light weight JOCK in America
He won a big bet by his exploit as he
wagered 5000 to $1,000 that he would land
one third of all the RACES run on the

this question. al II Is alleged that the insertion OF
the word "agriculturs' in the name OF the college
not only concealed the broad education in many
lines which IL given there. but also prevented n
greater increase in the number OF students. Some
have suggested that the name be changed 10 the
Massachusetts, College" This question hardly
discussed at all, however, as the dinner proved to
be a memorial TO Captain Walter II. Dickinson. OF
