AMERICAN ATRL-Es RETURN.
Copeland, Yale's Manager, Talks OF

Copeland. YaIe's Manager. Talks OF
the Recent Contests.
New York, Aug. IA. F. Copeland,
manager of the Yale contingent of the
American athletes who recently took part
in the contests against Oxford and Cam
bridge, and Thomas Burke, the half miller;
G. T. Harrington, the broad jumper and
Brown, the hammer thrower, of the Har-
ward team, returned home Saturday on the
St. Paul.
eve fancied we would win,'' said Mr..
Copeland, commenting upon the narrow
victory won by the English universities,
"and while we lost the very contests we
thought ourselves most sure of winning,
the Englishmen lost the hurdles and the
100 yards, both of which they thought they
could not lose. At one stage of the COM
petitions, after we had won the hurdles,
one enthusiastic American offered to bet
500 against 5 shillings that we would win
the series. He could not find taker. But
we lost the quarter and half-mile contests,
which we thought were ours, and lost the
series.
I'VE looked to see Boardman, of Har-
ward, best Dawson. OF Cambridge, in the
quarter mile run, but Dawson won as he
liked. He is easily the best man at the
distance have seen in three or four years.
He can go the distance in 49 seconds when
ever he tries for it. He finished in better
condition than any runner I have ever
seen since Myers.
mot since Myers defeated the English
runner at old Madison Square Garden,
fourteen years ago, have l seen SO much
enthusiasm manifested in an athletic con-
test as marked the finish of the three mile
run and which gave the series to the Eng
lfshmen. The great crowd surged toward
the finish mark and actually overwhelmed
pect the Englishmen will come over here in
1901, and We shall be ready for them."

A GREAT MEDICINE.

'I have used Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy, and find
it to be great medicine" says Mr.. E. S.
Phipps, of Poteau, Ark. 1T cured me of
bloody fux; l cannot speak too highly of
it." This remedy always wins the good
opinion If not praise of those who use it.
The quick cures which 1t effects, even in
the most severe cases, makes 1t favorite
everywhere. For sale by Henry Evans,
Wholesale and Retail, and ell druggists.

build the path from Baltimore to Laurel
a distance of 16 and sic miles, where the
Washington Association will take up the
work and continue it to this city-a dis
tance of 1877 miles. Both the Washington
and Frederick turnpikes were under ad-
visement, but the Washington pike was
selected because the distance is shorter and
it has a better roadbed. the Frederick
pike being more hilly. 1t is estimated the
cost of the cycle path will be nearly $500
per mile when made.
The distance to points between this city
and Baltimore will be: Hyattsville, 6.6
miles; Beltsville, 1873; Laurel, 1871; Saw
age, 20.6; Relay, 81; West Baltimore, 800.

Manager Selee has protested the second
Brooklyn-Louisville game, at Brooklyn
Saturday, which was won by Brooklyn, on
the ground that the game should have been
played at Louisville, as required by the
constitution. The constitution says post
poned game shall be played off on other
grounds than the home grounds only if it

The Fire Department Practice.

Last Friday afternoon the Fire
Department, at least, a portion Of
it, turned out to practice. q. l..
Hayes residence was selected as
the supposed fire point. At about
3 80 the engine and hose started
from the engine room and ran
around the block before drawing
up; then the hose was attached and
water pumped from Mr.. Reynolds
els err. Two streams were man
ipulated by Dillehay and Weber,
hoseman A. Brown afterWard tax
ing the second hose.
The practice brought forward
one tact strongly-the great need
of such practices, and the urgent
nece ssity OF more men being on
hand. Out OF so men only II
turned out; the bucket brigade did
not come because as yet there are
no buckets. The members of the
fire department who are citizens
and property owners, and property
owns whose men are members Of
the companies, should have pro-
lection in time of real fire; there
fore let them practice, and it
would be a good idea t. let the
employees oft to practice. About
40 men are needed for the engine,
and the other companies should
be proportionately as strong, and
this practice showed that every
man must and should know his
place, so as to be effective in time
Of need.

whoever Heard Tell of Mud
Bleach:

What do you put on your face. Alicia.
to keep it so white?"
Ever since early morning they had been
fishing on the breakwater, and the girl
thus addressed was still pale and cool as
an April cucumber, while her companions
were flushed and scarlet. For a moment
the two unfortunate ones struggled with
her natural impulse to keep a good thing
to herself, and then she divulged il nobly.
Il wash it in mud every night, and when
it is badly burned l keep the mud on until
morning." she said.
i spent a summer in Canada once"
was the rest OF her explanation. land all
the girls at the lake did it. Out West they
use mud to draw the poison from snake
and mosquito bites whenever there's no
whisky or ammonia to be had. and lots OF
the boys l have gone fishing with have
| told me to wash my hands with mud when
they smelled horrid and I hadn't any soap.
| It's a heap better than all the complexion
remedies that ever were invented for taking
| off tan and freckles. and II doesn't cost
anything but the trouble Of digging up a
tiny corner OF the back yard and pouring
water into it."
| And two minutes later there were a
| lot of deserted fishpOles on the pier. while
every single girl OF that group was en-
| ergetically plastering her hands and face
with the black clayey mud which lies back
| OF the sandy beach.-Chieago Chronicle.

The chtnese womnn,r Foot.

Mrs. Archibald Little, an English wom-
an. who lived in Western China for eleven
years. says that there is a growing senu-
ment against the practice of Gripping the
native womens feet. While she was there
they held drawingroom meetings to dis
cuss the subject and about 200 of the best
families in Chung king and 1900 families
in the adjoining district agreed to discour-
age the custom. Men are responsible for
the practice, for the first question they ask
in regard to a possible fiance is about the
size OF her foot. The engaged young Chi
naman, when he Is dining with his
friends, often proudly produces from the
recesses OF his capacious sleeves q shoe to
prove the smallness OF his future wife's
foot Women with these crippled feet can
walk and run, but, according to Mrs Little,
It is almost impossible for them to stand
still. When they try 1t. they hold on to
whatever happens to be nearest to them
and sway backward and forward with a
rocking motion.

A Sensible shonper.

1t is common happening for women
shoppers to be taken for saleswomen in
the big department stores says the phil
adelphia Record and it is interesting 10
note the effect of some OF the mistakes.
The breaks are especially numerous in
the hat departments, where the customers
take off their hats in order to try on new
ones In many cases shoppers who are
addressed by other shoppers with query,
.'Will you please show me some of the
hats?" become indignant and sharply re-
ply that they are not saleswomen. but a
prominent wealthy woman of West Wal
nut Street proved an exception to this RUE
in one of the most popular stores the other
day The salesgirl who was waiting on
her, and who has been doing so for years,
had left her to go after another hat for
her to try on, when a woman stepped up
to the customer and expressed desire
to look at some specimens of head wear.
The Walnut Street woman promptly took
the newcomer in tow and gave her the
benefit of her knowledge about a number
of hats which she had examined in her
own search. When the salesgirl appear
ed she turned the woman over to her and
excused herself, while the girl, sizing up
the situation. went ahead and made good
sale of a hat that her customer had prais-
ed. Then the other customer. who had
patiently waited. congratulated herself en-
having made a sale for the girl. made her
choice of a hat and departed smiling.

She is simple and direct. She has caught
the new idea among women that wo-
mans word must be kept as carefully as a
mans. Her view of a Irritation is a CANA
raderie with possibilities; but she asks no
odds in the game and no concessions. She
expects 10 keep man as a friend when she
has rejected him as a lover, and she has
no disposition to lose him as a friend be-
cause she has accepted him as a lover
She hears so few compliments from the
young man of the day that she shies at
them like an unbroken colt, and the early
and artificial stages of the old approach
TO the possibilities of a new relation strike
her as bore. The open air, exercise, the
familiar contact of athletic sports have
made these slow steps unnecessary. A girl
who can drive golf ball clean past a
mans stroke or be the fresher at the end
of century does not thank him for a
neat reference to her complexion, which is
to tell the truth, better than was her
mothers at the same age. A girl who
wears her shoes to walk in them has ceased
TO be anxious about her ankles and either
worried or pleased because her bicycle
skirt shows them and something more.
The new summer girl knows more than
her predecessor. She is better educated.
She has calmly dissected too many creeping
by mouse or startled by spider She is
not to be put of by airy masculine expla-
nations. and her knowledge of the world
and its ways is precise enough TO make
many masculine excuses seem as diapha-
nous to her as the thinnest chiffon she
rolds and ties. She is inclined to look on
earning her own living as far wiser than
foolish marriage, and she inwardly chal-
| lenges the young man she meets to prove
that he can be sufficiently agreeable TO
make up for her liberty and freedom of ac-
| ton As for being an old maid, she hasn't
| the slightest dread Of the life, and thereby
| does her own unconscious share to i'm
prove the breed by making her winning
the harder and the winning man work the
harder and be the better and the stronger
so as 10 win her.
Won she is, for marriage grows yisibly
wiser and more even-paeed in its selection
and choice under these new conditions of
camaraderie and exercise, of fresh air and
health, of knowledge, experience, and
open -souled candor. A quarter of a cen
