CYCLING.

An hour paced race between Edouard
Tavlore and Harry d. Elkes, of Sara
toga, will open the season in New
York.
Recognizing that until he has con-
uuered the American contingent of long
distance racing cyclists his triumph is
not complete, Constant Huret, the
French rider is anxious to make a trip
of conquest to these shores.
Ed Aker, Carroll B. Jack and Johnny
Shornd, who have been part of the
pacing team now assisting Major Taylor
for records at the Woodside Park track,
have been laid off. The coiored rider S
manager being under the impression the
mile record can be broken without their
services.
Joseph Nernier, of Philadelphia, is
anxious to arrange a middle distance
match race for Madison Square Garden
this winter, and has partial promise OF
such contest from the promoters. He
may challenge the winner Of the Tay-
lore-Elkes match, which takes place
December 3.
Arthur Gardiner is said to have re-
cciycd an offer to race in France next
season, by which it is supposed that the
vice president of the "outlaw union,' SO
called for want of better name, will pay
up his fine to the L. A. w., and again
become racing man in good standing
with the International Cyclists Union.
1t is hard to see how Gardiner, or any.
one else, can race on any sanctioned
track unless in good standing with the
governing body in this country, which
at present is the L. A. w.
Jimmy Michael, whose proposed trip
to Europe to-day was announced in this
column Yesterday, has plenty of time in
which to change his mind. The Wash
ington Jockey Club opens up at Ben
nings this afternoon, and he may once
again decide to try his luck as jockey.
Anyhow, having duly announced that
he will remain a cyclist, it's up to the
horses again.

Popular belief associates the
"King's Evil' with blood poi
soning and it is interesting to
here review the history of this
impression. The Kings Evil
first appears in History just prior
to the Twelfth Century when
Edward the Conqueror imagined
he possessed the miraculous gift
of curing certain diseases by the
simple touch and by pronouncing
a few sacred words. After the
example of Edward, the King Of
France, became celebrated for
the skill with which they cured
scrofula, goitre, ETC., by his pro-
cess. Scrofula then became unil
versally known as the King
Evil and is to-day sometimes as
luded to by that name. Such q
methodof cure has been claimed
to be the peculiar attribute of the
sovereigns of England and
France, but history does not sam
ton this, for it appears to have
been not unfrequently employed
in Scandinavia, and to have been
derived from the mystical prac-
tees of the Divide in curing dis
ease. The exact words used for
the cure of Scrofula by the
French Kings were:-"Le roi te
touche, Dieu te guerisse."
In this enlightened age no.
body would be silly enough to
trust a case of Scrofula to a King
or his words unless it happened
that the King aforesaid, had a
diploma or two from medical
colleges of good repute. At this
writing none of the Kings in our
circle Of acquaintance have taken
up the study OF medicine and we
therefore suggest that every man,
woman and child suffering from
this dreadful disease send fifty
cents to DR.. Jonathan G. Tru-
man, Lemon City, Fla, for a
bottle of "Marvelo.' There is
but one cure for the Kings Evil
for Scrofula-and that one
cure is Marvelo. This marvel

A FOOT BALI, TALE
In Which Delaware College Got the
Worst of it Through the %


Worst of it Through the .
Papers.
On Wednesday of this week game Of
foot bali was played at Swarthmore,
delaware and Swarthm0re Colleges
being the contestants. Before going fur
ther we will repeat statement made in
the Monday issue Of the Philadelphia
Record, which reads as follows:
Manager Lippincott Of Swarthmore
College has arranged that no hard games
will be played during the week except
the one with Columbia on Saturday. He
has succeeded in arranging a second
game with Delaware College for Wednes-
day. The score in the first game was 22
to 0, and should be much larger on
Wednesday,"
Contrary toexpectations Delaware Col
lege held Swarthmore down so that no
score was made. Instead OF the Swarth-
more men acting gentlemanly after such q
game, the Delaware boys were treated
more coldly than at any college this year;
The report as stated by the Inquirer and
Evening Journal of Wilmington that
Delaware's team was padded is untrue,
as the faculty of that college will testify.
The report that Booth made touch
down which was not allowed by Referee
McSorley is true, but he ran distance
of five Yards on the side-line, which is,
as every foot ball player knows, counted
out of bounds. In regards to- Delaware
quitting in the second half, just as
| Swarthmore was catching her gait and
was gaining five to ten yards at a time.
! desire to state is a falsehood. The truth
is as follows:
| Swarthmore kicked off in the second
half and Delaware ran it back ten yards.
Then by series of line plunges and
end runs she pushed the ball to Swarth-
more's ten yard line. Here Swarthmore
took decided brace and gained the pail
on downs.
Then by good playing Swarthinore
rushed the ball to Delaware's thirty-five
yard line where she regained the game
on downs, just as time was called: Ihe
only way Swarthmore can make due re-,
paration is by public apology to Del
aware. As the referee never awarded the
forfeit there is no score for that game.
1t is to be regretted that the Evenaaag
Journal, a Wilmington paper, should
copy bodily story from a Phlladelphia
PAPER which was decided roast on
college from their own State.
Delaware College is the recognized in
stitution OF the State, and should be
treated as such by all. Please, Eren,ng
Journal at least be sure you're right
then 90 ahead. AN ONLooKER,

cause Manager Hanlon would not pay
him the big price he asked lor his SER

, Now, it is said, Hanlon will give in to
the crack twirler, and will pay him as
much as he wants.
In talking baseball recently, Hanlon
expressed hopes that the New York,
Philadelphia, Brooklyn and s.. Louis
clubs would be strengthened next season:
"If these clubs have any desire to add

opened" said Hanlon.

players pleasure trip up to New Haven
to watch the Yale-Harvard game, on the

and trip of that kind with two days
rest are expected to be very beneficial.
Yale's chances in the big game to. day
are brighter than the Blue cares to have

The attitude of the Filipinos is not
a very satisfactory one. When Mani
la was taken they looked forward to
n few days of unrestrained sack and
throat cutting, Having been taught
under Spanish methods, they cannot
understand the American humane
manner of fighting, which protects
the person and property of the con-
quered. 1t is a sad disappointment to
these ruffans that they cannot wreak
their vengeance in the manner they
would like. They have shown their

FISHING RIGHTS.

In looking over the laws of the Is
lands it is to be hoped that the ques-
ton of the fishing rights may not be
forgotten. In every other country
the sea is free to the inhabitants. If
one buys boat or one hires a boat,
and chooses to spend ones time in
catching the fnny tribe what is caught
is the property of the catcher; he has
to pay no toll to any one. But it is
different here. The lands owner not
only owns the land but he owns the
sea, too, and he has the power of in
terdicting the catching of one partic-
ular kind of fish and of setting it
apart for himself
The law reads ''the specific fish so
set apart shall be exclusively for the
use of the Konahiki Gland holder) if
caught within the bounds of his fish
cry, and neither his tenants nor 9th
ers, shall be at liberty to appropriate
such reserved fish to their private use,
but when caught, such reserved fish
shall be the property of the Konahiki
Gland holder) for which he shall be at
liberty to sue and recover the value
from any person appropriating the
same" AS ih some localities there is
only one particular kind OF fish dur
ing the season that is worth anything
the land owner is liable to appropri-
ate to his own profit the entire catch,
should be be so minded. Thus, off the
coast of Scotland, were such law in
force, the land owner would be able
TO take the whole herring catch, leav-
ing the rest of the fishing, which
amounts to nothing, to his unhappy
tenants. So here land holder can
set apart the opelu, which comes in
at certain seasons, and is valuable
food fish, and the outside fishing, be-
You'd that in certain places, is worth
less. The land holder gets the cream
of the fishing, and of course he can
and does sell it to some one, generally
to hui or company of Cinnamon.
But Konahili need not set apart
one variety of fish entirely to him
self. He can interdict during certain
months of the year all fishing upon
his fisheries, and the law says dur
ing the fishing season, exact of each
fisherman among his tenants, one
third Palittof all fish taken upon the
fishing grounds" Thus man sup
plies his canoe, and his nets, and goes
out all night and works hard at his
fishing, and one-third of all he catch
es has to be given to the owner of
the land. The writer remembers on
Hawaii one early morning, seeing the
canoes come in and whether the
catch was small, or whether it was
large, the one-third was eXacted by
the proprietor himself and he was a
white man. 1t brought the injustice
of the thing home to one, when one
saw the actual distribution. And
when he had got his fish, the land hol-
der did not know what to do with it,
some was dried and would be peddled
TO the natives later on, and some
went to feed the pigs.
1t is true that not all Konahikis eX-
act their rights, but the law is on the
statute book, and whenever there has

been any attempt to get it removed,
and there have been many made in
past Legislatures, the theory of vest
ed rights is put forward. AS a fact
the legal theory of vested rights is
very frequently the theory of vested
wrongs. The fishing laws of the Ha.
waiian Islands are relic of the past
but there is no reason when we come
under the dominion of the United
States that such a barbarism should
continue
