a meeting of Harvard men interest
ed in rowing, was held at Cambridge.
Mass, Wednesday evening, to give a
chance for an expression of opinion
against the new rowing system which
was to do away with the time honored
class races. The meeting was not an
authoritative one but nevertheless.
came to a compromise agreement which
will probably be acted upon. The new
agreement provides for the holding of
class races early in the season. After
these races the members of the class
crews will return to one or the other
of the proposed rival rowing clubs and
each club will organize three graded
crews. indiscriminately, of the class
standing of their members.

cribes the finding of so human skele-
tons in well on plantation near

rlble crime. All are said to be in Ha-
vana.

the eclipse. "We must help him. He

money to pay his debt, or a huge mon

Bathing in the holy Gauges and pray

priests said the early morning would be
most et1icaciOus, and the people wentin
immense numbers.
The eclipse began soon after noon,

Men were trembling from head to foot
with excitement and fear. Ram, Ram.

Then, at the instant light reappeared,
there rose a triumphant shout from

A MUSICAL RoMANcE.-The engage

A MUSICAL ROMANCE.-The engage
ment is announced of Miss Margaret
Sanders, of Richmond, the daughter Of q
late Confederate officer of artillery, to
Albert G. Smith, business man of New
York city.
Miss Sanders went to New York
three years ago with her mother and
endeavored vainly TO get place or
the concert stage. She then determined
to go to London, She had met at her
musicmaster's in New York fellow
pupil, Albert G. Smith. When she
went abroad he obtained for her letters
10 London, which gained friends who
placed her in the hands of a teacher
who had been well-known impressario
in a German city. Miss Sanders voice
developed wonderfully. She sang at
several English concerts with success,
and her professional future seemed
assured. Mr.. Smith went to London
last spring, and the engagement re-
suited
