COLUMBIA WON.
First In Boat Race with the Naval
Cadets ut Annapolis.

Annapolis, Md, May 1.-THE Column
bia university eight finished half a
length in front of the naval cadets in Il
fierce struggle on the Severn after hay
ing pulled over the two mile course in
II minutes As seconds.
The race was originally scheduled for
Saturday morning, but at the hour
fixed the water was rough. 1t was
therefore put of until the afternoon.
1t was 4 o'clock before the boats were
at the starting point and ready for the
signal to go. when the pistol fired,
| both crews took the water promptly
and in good form, with Columbia a
shade in the lead in the first half dozen
strokes This position the New York
ers held until the first half mile had
been passed. when the sailor boys drew
up on them. Up to this time Columbia S
stroke was about &C. while that of the
middies was "a. Now the latter put on
more steam, and their stroke also ran
up to So
Under this additional impetus the
s.ilors' shell poked its nose ahead Of
that OF the New York oaismen, and for
the next mile the mddies led, at one
time being full length in the van. In
right down to hard worl! and soon We're
gaining on their opponents. On they
crept until on even terms at the begin
ming of the last quarter mile. Both
crews were pulling with all their might
now, and the stroke had run up to 50.
1t was still anyb0dys race. Neither
appeared to have the slightest advan-
tage, and the men and women in the
crafts which were following the racers
were in a state of intense excitement.
Thus it ran until with 100 yards of the
finish. Columbia spurted and drew
ahead again. The middies made a noble
effort to respond to the urgings of their
little cocksWan, but it was not in them.
Inch by inch Columbia gained and
when the race was ended the visitors
were half length ahead and winners
by two seconds. 1t was agreed that a
better boat race had never been rowed
on the Severn. The course was straight
away from a point near the lighthouse
at the mouth of the Severn, with the
finish at the bridge near the Naval
cemetery, thus giving those on shore a
splendid opportunity to see the finish
The water was fairly smooth.

Talked of Women.

New York society women, as a class.
are the most talked of women in the
world. There is scarcely a day in the
year that they are not brought in some
way before the public. Probably the
most talked of woman in the country
today is Miss Helen Gould. This esti-
mate is based upon the number of
times her name has appeared from day
TO day in the newspapers throughout
the country. This interesting fact has
been discovered by the manager OF a
New York press clipping bureau, who
is careful reader of all the papers of
any Importance in all parts of the
country. 1t will be a surprise to many
to know that the next most talked of
woman in America is Mrs. Hetty
Green. The third in this order is Mrs
Mckinley. There are, of course, wom-
en- whose names have obtained for a
time greater publicity than these.
prominent among whom are Mrs. o. H.
L. Belmont and Mrs. Perry Belmont
The three above mentioned have, how
ever, been before the public for several
years.-Philadelpnia Inquirer.

Contract Labor In Hawaii.

The administration got such a bad
scare over the emphatic protest which
the working people in Ohio registered
against its policy in the recent cleo
ton that it is going into the explain
ing business with its usual lack of
tact and accuracy. Senator Clark, OF
Wyoming. just back from Hawaii. has
the hardihood to state that contract
labor is a thing of the past in Hawaii.
and there is no desire among the
planters of the islands to hire labor
inferior TO the ordinary American farm
labOrer.'
This is the sort of thing the admin
istration approves, but unfortunately
the facts are different. Thousands Of
Chinese and other contract laborers
have been rushed into the Hawaiian
Islands since their annexation and the
conditions never we're worse. Contract
labor in Hawaii means practical sla-
verv.
The working people OF this country
have already given the warning as to
the threatened danger of an invasion
OF cheap labor. which can so easily be
brought into this country by way OF
our new possessions. To deny that
contract labor exists in Hawaii will
excite serious apprehension that no
protective legislation is contemplated
in the imperialistic scheme OF affairs
