ICE CREAM CENTURIES AGO.

Early June days generally see the ice

a much older sweetmeat than many

The Due de Charities often went at

unnecessary habit some women have
of calling all their relatives by their

strictly avoided.

for her to reserve her own pet name
for him until both are in private. Any
thing like familiarity OF word or action
between husband and wife, or relatives,
in the presence Of almost strangers is
very embarrassing to the latter and
argues lack OF real delicacy of feeling
in the perpetrators.
A stoical calmnesS of demeanor in

be considered the acme OF good breed

more natural now. and a moderate ex-
preston of our sentiments and feelings
is allowable. provided only that We DO
not take outsiders too far into our con-
fidence. Those women who can never

familiarity that brings upon them the
contempt Of mere properly reserved
persons. When in public places. such

from discussing private affairs and
common friends, and even in speaking

ON THE THAMES.
Work of Yale and Harvard Crews Over
Four Mile Course.

Four Mile Course.
Gales Ferry, Conn, June 9.--To-day
has not been marked by heavy work
on the part of the Yale crew. On ac-
count Of examinations conducted by
Dr. e. S. Gallaudet the crew did not get
onto the water for their regular spin
until about o'clock this afternoon
though they had little light work in
the morning. The crew was sent over
the four-mile course tonight, notwith-
standing the men did not expect to do
more than two miles when they start
ed, but Coach Cook kept them going
and while there was no attempt at a
record, the course was covered inside
of twenty-five minutes. The tide IA
vored the oarsmen, so that it was not a
fair judge of their speed.
Both the Harvard varsity and fresh
man crews were worked in the morn
ing and afternoon, but the freshmen
work was brief on account Of examina-
tions, which kept them in until p. m.
During the morning practice the Har-
ward launch was in a position to get a
line on the Yale crew, and the follow
ers of the crimson were most favorably
impressed with the physical appear
ance of the sons of Eli. little zest
was given the work this afternoon by
a brush between the Harvard varsity
and the substitutes in four-oared,
when the latter led during a two-mile
pull, and then meeting Yale varsity,
the substitutes spurted with them and
took the lead, and when Yale got near
the Harvard substitutes again the lat
ter increased their stroke and rowed a
stretch of about three-quarters of a
mile even. The Yale men then boarded
their launch for the return to quarters
and the Harvard crew padded back in
short stretches. There was no change
to-day in the rowing order. The fresh
men continued the good work they so
strikingly evidenced last night.
A very pleasant interchange of inter-
collegiate courtesy took place tonight,
when the Yale freshmen who arrived
tonight were going to their quarters
AS the Yale launch with the crew
aboard passed the Harvard quarters
there were Yale cheers for Harvard,
which were responded to with gusto
by the latter. The date of the fresh
man race will be settled by the captains
tomorrow. though it is believed that it
will be rowed on the 23d. One Harvard
man is down for an examination for
that day, but it is believed that the
matter can be adjusted. To-day.

LODGE MIKES DISCLOSURES.
Outrageous Lobbying to Pass Methodist
Book Concern Appropriation.

bOoR CONCERN ApprOprIotlOn.
Washington, June AT to-day's ses-
sion of the senate Mr.. Lodge precipi-
tated a sensation by offering the follow
ing resolution: THAT the committee
on claims be directed to inquire and re-
port to whom the money was paid un-
der the claim of the Methodist book
concern south: and also as to all cir
cumstances connected with the passage
of the bill providing for the payment of
said claim and with the subsequent
payment of the money under said act
of congress-" Mr.. Lodge explained
that when the bill appropriating $3.50
to pay the claim of the Methodist book
concern was before the senate he had
offered an amendment providing that
not more than $4,000 shall be paid to
any agent or lobbyist for working for
the bill. His amendment had been re-
ceived with indignation and as a reflec-
tion upon the honor of men who were
rendering to the Methodist church
south a service of love.
1--WE were assured" said Mr.. Lodge,
'that no part of the sum appropriated
was to be paid to agents; but it now
develops that a contract existed for the
payment of 35 per cent. of the proceeds
of the claim to lobbyists and that one
y,,op hoe rono;vod tba i,,y,oapca c,,r,o ~
800, ,S00." Mr.. Lodge then presented
several newspaper clippings in which
the scheme was exposed. In response
to a suggestion he said he made no
charge against the Methodist church
south, but in the clippings which he
presented there were serious charges
against the accredited agents of the
church.
Mr. Bate, who had strongly advocated
the payment of the church claim, was
much exercised over the disclosures.
He denounced the action Of the agents
as an outrage upon individual senator's
and upon congress. He favored thor
ough investigation of the transaction
to the end that the responsible persons
might be exposed. Mr.. Bate read a
telegram from Barbee and Smith
agents of the Methodist book concern
stating that nobody was to receive a
commission for working for the bill.
Mr.. Tillman inquired Of Mr.. Pasco If he
did not think such thieving practices
would operate against the payment of
ohert southern claims pending before
congress. He declared the transaction
was an outrage and swindle.
Mr.. Wilson said the proceeding was
an outrageous one and it was evident
that the government had been buncoed.
Without disposing Of the Lodge reso-
luton, the senate took up private PEN
sion bills and passed forty-four of
them.
