THE CHALLENGE FROM ENGLAND.

Captain Fisher OF the Yale track athletic team
and Captain Roche OF the Harvard team have met
and had an informal talk over the challenge that
has come from oxford and Cambridge. They have
definitely decided to accept the challenge. and the
men will be chosen probably some time next week,
after II has been possible to secure line on their
work in the championship games to-day. The Har-
ward Bulletin" by the way declares that the COM
ing contest in England will be of great advantage
in more ways than one, and adds that II will give
a chance TO both the American and the English
athletes to learn good deal from one another.
sAthletics in England" II adds, have kept nearer
20 the ola idea of sport in which the element OF
fun is not lost in the earnestness OF the struggle.
There is not so much fun in American athletics as
there ought to be, which. by the way, is very
different thing from saying that athletics is TO be
taken as a Joke. On the English side II Is con-
ceivable that the democratic influence OF American
athletics would be beneficial provided the truth Is
demonstrated that eligibility rules can be demo
cratic without the slightest lowering OF the amateur

ELECTROLYsIs AND sTREET-CARs.

A number Of Richmond councilmen
have been heard to say they are opposed
to acting upon the Main-street franchises
until they have more information than
is now at hand upon the subject of cleo
trolysis.
Their position is reasonable and proper
especially as an investigation IS now In
progress here. which can be concluded in
a few weeks. The experts who are en-
gagged in this work are keeping their own
counsel, but some things about which
they are to report are of general no
toriety.
1t is an undoubted fact that electrolysis
does prevail here, and it is presumed
proved. we may say-that it emanates
from the street-car lines
1t is also unquestionable, we believe,
that the water and gas-pipes of our city
have been damaged-that is, partially de-
composed-by electrolysis. 1t may be that
the extent of this damage has been ex-
aggerated. 1t is believed that the mains
are less affected than the small iron
vice pipes. These pipes are made OF
wrought iron. which is far more suscep-
tiblc 10 the Injurious influences OF cleo
tricity than cast-iron pipes.
Our city authorities have been sending
bills 10 the street-car companies for
some Of the damage done. and it Is ex-
pected that in granting new franchises It
will be required OF the new company that
u shall make the snDiest provision pos-

among other things, for the establish
ment Of "rest cure home" TO be known
as st. Winifreds Rest, in honor of the

1t is to be hoped that the institution

is a matter of notoriety that these citi-
zens are particularly partial to physical

absurd, but often causes unnecessary suf-

that end we must be conservative. the
present stage Of the controversy between
our city and the Southern Bell Telephone
Company does not admit Of any positive
movement at this time.
On the subject of the underground troll
ley our information is somewhat rneagre.
The system is good and practical, but to
install IT is costly. one Of the great items
Of expense is the taking up OF the road
way removal of pipes and sewers, where
necessary, and the laying of concrete
beds for the conduit.
The underground trolley seems TO be a
good thing for cities which can afford 1t.
Whether Richmond is one of those cities
we do not yet know. The consideration
of the Main-street franchise has not adj
vanced far enough to enable us to Judge
with certainty.

RIVER COMBINE.
Two Lines Of River Packets May Get
Together.


A combine in which the people OF
Pittsburg will take a great interest
is the proposed combination Of the
pittsburg Il Cincinnati Packet com
pany with the Pitisburg d Browns
will Packet company. These two are
the richest steamboat lines running
into Pittsburg says the Press.
The combine has been talked OF
TOR some time, but the Brownsville
pee, eIe refused to listen to any over
lures made by the Cincinnati line
until they learned that unless the
latter could make arrangements with
them they would build boats of their
own and start an Independent line
The Brownsville people then be-
gan to consider the proposition of
the Cincinnati line and it is proba-
BILE that the lines will consolidate in
the near future.
For some time Capt Henderson,
manager OF the Cincinnati line, has
been trying to form plans by which
he could furnish employment to the
crews of his boats all of the year
round. In the summer the water in
the Ohio becomes so low that the
big steamers are compelled to tie up
for three or four months, and the
managers pay the crew off The
company has tried running short
excursions at the lower end of the
river, but there ore so many craft
in this business that it did not pay
The idea of consolidating with the
Morgantown line then presented
itself. The crews of the big boats
could be transferred to the short
line and in this way the men could
be employed all the year round.
II the consolidation goes through
the first thing done will be the re.
furnishing of the short line boats
for the summer. The Cincinnati line
may bring two or three light boats
up here for the summer The re-
fitting can be finished and the boats
made ready to start early in June

WOMEN IN TRoUBr,r.
The Approach Of Motherhood is the
Occasion Of Much Anxiety to All.

OCCASION Gu much anxiety to AL.
Every woman breads the ordeal
through which she must pass in becom-
ing mother. The pain and suffering
which is in store for her is source of
constant anxiety, fear and dread, to
say nothing of the danger which the
coming incident entails. The Joyous
nnticipa with which she looks for
ward TO baby's coming gives way to an
indescribable dread of the ordeal when
she fully realizes the critical and trying
event which will soon approach and
have to be endured.
Women should hail with delight a
remedy which insures to them inn
munity from the pain, suffering and
danger incidental to child-bearing.
Such a remedy is now offered, and
women need not fear longer the hour Of
childbirth. Mothers Friend q
scientific hniment--and if used before
confinement, gently and surely prepares
the body for the great requirements
and changes it is undergoing, insures
safety to both mother and child, and
takes her through the event with COM
parative ease and comfort. This won
derful remedy is praised by every
woman who has used It,
What woman il not interested in
Mothers Friend?" This wonderful
remedy has been tested and its price,
less value proven by the experience Of
thousands of happy mothers who
have used it during the most critical
period of woman's life--the approach
and elimination of motherhood.
1t has won their everlasting praise,
for it gave them help and hope in
their most trying hour and when
most needed. Every woman may some
day need Mothers Friend. The
little book, Before Baby Is Born
telling all about It, and when it should
be used, will prove of great interest and
benefit to all expectant mothers, and
will be sent free to any address upon
application to the Bradtield Regulator
