AN AMERICAN HENLEY.
Cornell's Proposition to the Lead
ing Universities. ,,.~,.
YALE'S CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

The Champion College Crew WIN AL
low the New Haven ColIegians to
Select the Meeting Place for Tri-
angular Race With Harvard.
Ithaca, N Y, Jan. 13.-Captain Fred
erick D. Colson. of the Cornell varsity
crew. gave out long statement last
night setting forth Cornelrs rowing
policy. After reciting the facts as to
The challenges of the Yale and Harvard
varsity crews, and CornelPs accept
ance Of both, the statement says: IF
Yale names the place of the race this
year it is expected that she will do no
place next year. Harvard asks no
privileges this year, and there is no
need of any proviso in accepting her
challenge. Yale's suggestion of q
willingness to merge her race of this
year in a triangular also Is accepted,
once the race is agreed upon. Cornell
asks to name the place of the Yale
Cornell race next year. She, of course,
does not hereby put any pressure upon
Harvard, whose convenience would
naturally have to be considered If an
other triangular race were desired"
After closing up this matter Cornell
in q separate communication suggests
to Yale, as well as to three other row.
ing universities. an association for the
arrangement of dates and races in gen.
eral. This communication does not re-
quire an open regatta by any means.
1t may be step toward something re-
motely like an American Henley"
Following is copy of the letter of
Yale suggesting the formation of a
rowing association, and In making the
suggestion Cornell. declares Mr.. Colson,
has no other motive than to advance
the interests of the sport.
After accepting the propositions Of
the Yale University Boat club for race
on the terms proposed by Yale, the
Cornell navy wishes to express Its own
preference In general for an open re-
gatta controlled by the five universities
usually participating In rowing. Such
a regatta Cornell always stands ready
to enter. In case, however 1t is inn
possible to organize such regatta Cor
nell still believes that in view of the
colnpllCdtloHS WHICH are afiSins from
the difficulty of arranging races AMI
dates among those five universities It
would be advantageous for all and |
beneficial to college rowing If a rowing |
association representing the five should !
be formed. We therefore invite Yale to !
become member Of such an associa-
tion, and we shall at the same time |
extend like invitation to Harvard, |
Pennsylvania and Columbia"

Fierce Mine Fire at Dunbar,

Dunbar, Pa, Jan. ia fierce fire Is
raging in the Ferguson mine of the
Dunbar Furnace company. 1t Is re-
ported that the fire burned through the
ill-fated Hill Farm mine. in which 20
miners met frightiul death on June
16, 1890, their bodies being entombed in
the mine nearly two years before recov-
cred. Another reDort Is to the effect
that the mine was set on fire. A body
of men has been fighting the fire day
and night for a week. but thus far have
made very little progress. The Hill
Farm mine has been burning for over
seven years, and will probably never
be put out.

Murder Her Husband.


Murder Her Husband.
Camden, N. j., Jan. 13.-Mrs. Florence
McCusker. charged with the murder of
her husband. Michael, by shooting him
on Nov. last. was acquitted by the
jury in Judge Garrison's court yester-
day afternoon. The trial for the life
Of the first woman SO jeopardized in
this county was dramatic throughout,
and ended with the appropriate climax.
The jury spent one hour and half de-
liberating, and when they returned and
announced the finding the handsome
young prisoner uttered convulsive
"Oh!" swayed to and fro. while the
tears rained from her eyes. and then
toppled over in faint. Her aged
mother fell on her knees and cried.
THANK God!" while the crowd of
friends and relatives pressing about the
dock grew so great that it became nee
essary to clear the room.
A different scene was meanwhile en-
acted few feet away, where the rela-
tives OF the dead man We're. When the
verdict was announced his old mother
sobbed aloud, and his sister cried out:
'She may go free, but she is murder
ess Just the same"
The defense was that the shooting
was accidental, and the result accords
with the general expectation.

Why WOMEN LOOK OLD.
Some Women Look Fresh and
Young at Fifty.
Others Appear Old and Dra2gsd
Out al twenty-five.
Did it Ever Strike You That
There Must Re a Reason
For This?

"How old look" is what women say
to their mirror.
The passing years are not what make
the average woman grow old In looks, but
the condition Of nerve weakness, poor
blood and low vitality. Some women of
tlfty preserve the youthful appearance Of
twenty-five. The average woman of to-
day, however, appears old at thirty, with
dull, hollow .ringed eyes, thin, pinched,
pale cheeks, sallow complexion, dark or
bloodless lips. the faco lined, and the ex.
preston the opposite Of viyacious.
With good digestion, strong nerves and
good blood any woman can keep herself
young fresh and youthful appearing, and
she eau attain this much desired condition
by using tha greatest nerve and blood
invigorator known to modern science, Dr..
Greene's Nervura. 1t Is positively aston.
ishing what this remarkable remedy will
do for women. 1t is almost Fountain of
Youth, for it renews and maintains youth
