ADVANCE GUARD
 BEAT ALL COLE
Both Animals Carried 122 Lbs, All Gold Made PaCe-Oak-
 wood Handicap Today.

Chicago, June 29.-Advance Guard and All Gold met in the second race at mile, each carrying 122 pounds. Advance Guard was to 5, and to 1 was obtainable against All Gold. The latter went out and made the pace, but it was on suffrance. Advance Guard closed in the stretch and ran over the eastern colt, while Iamachias, strong ly ridden, also got up in time to get the place.
 Garry Hermann was also in a soft spot in his race and won galloping. The dis placing of Roland by Caywood on the colt caused much comment. Owner Smith and Trainer Hughes were dissatisfied with Bo- lands ride in the derby and his ride on Garry Hermann on Tuesday.
 The Oakwood handicap is the feature for tomorrow. Sidney Lucas, Sam Phillips, Bangle and Cambrian are among the starters. Summary:
 First race, five and a half furlongs- Garry Hermann, 11S (Caywood), l to 5, won; The Brave, 105 (Rose). 12 to l, second; Searcher, 106 Devin), 40 to l, third. Time, 122 (Vittatoe), to 5, won; Lamacious, 1l2 (Caywood), 5 to 1, second; All Gold, 122 cT. Knight), g to g. third. Time, 1:42.

70 ADOPT 4 CONSTITUTION
CUBAN CONVENTION IN SESSION AT
HAVANA THANKS THE AMER
ICAN PEOPLE
SENDS A MESSAGE TO M'KINLEY
Gen. Maxine Gomez Has Declined to
Accept Any Office Under the
Proposed New Re
public.

HAVANA, Nov. 6.-The Cuban consti-
tutionaI convention, which met yesterday
in the Marti .theater, reassembled this
afternoon at 2 o'clock. The first business
was the adoption of a resolution to send
to President Mckinley the following tel
egram:
1.-The Cuban constitutional convention
has the honor and satisfaction respect
fully to salute the president and congress
of the United States, and to express SEN
timents Of gratitude to the American
people,
Two committees were appointed, one
on credentials and the other on rules.
Probably several days will elapse before
the permanent organization is effected
Gen. Maxine Gomez, in letter 10 the
Havana papers, says he will not accept
office under the Cuban republic. ''As a
revolutionist," he declares. 81 have al
ways understood that from the moment
the revolution was ended my mission will
be terminated. What remains to be
done to attain the felicity of the land
is not matter to be decided by cavalry
charges. The problems pressing for So
lutions must be solved with prudence
and calmness, and without the ardent
patriotism that might have been neees-
sary at other times.
'tCuba presents a great field for inn
provement, which must be carried out
judiciously 1t is a field where all her
children can work My retired life and
my persistent refusal of the positions
that have been offered me should. be
sufficient proof that my determination is
irrevocable I firmly believe that the
highest distinction which man who has
fought so much can take with him to
the grave is the esteem of all; and this
can only be obtained by not governing
ANYBODY or anything.

What Will He Do In Sarah BERN
hardt's Theater.

Paris Cor. of the Pail Mall Gazette
The Coincide Franchise is out of luck.
After being hard put to it to find
theater, it is now at a loss for prompt
ers box. 1t is not that M. Gaudet the
architect who is rebuilding the Fheater
Francois with what he. AYERS vertigfnous
rapidity, and the rest of the world re-
CARDS as snail-Ike dilatoriness, forgot the
prompter's box when designing, the new
stage. When the eenledie gets back to
the Rue de Richelieu it will find the
s'trou du souff1eur in its place, together
with every imag Unable commodity, from
lifts to q patent system of heating the
dressing rooms. But before the Coined
is once again in its,sown quarters it has
got to make a sojouFp at Sarah Bern
hardt's theater, and Sarah Bernhard has
suppressed the prompter's box, on the
ground that it is an eyesore and unneces-
sary. That the contfivance is unlovely
and obstructs the view from the stalls
will not be controveFted, but it's useful,
ness is Stoutly maintained by the ma ior~
ity Of actors. and most of the members
of the Coincide declare that they will be
unable to get along without it, or at any
rate that they will founder badly in it's
absence. 1t must be remembered that
at the Coincide Franchise the bill is in
cessantly being changed, so that in the
course of a week a societaire often plays
several parts The situation is different.
in consequence, from that of a theater
at which the same piece is given night
after night. STILL it is noteworthy that
at Antoine's theater, the one other
theater in Paris in which the prompter's
box has been abolished, the programme
is changed almost as frequently as at
the Theater Franchise. But Antoine is
both a chartered revolutionary and
rigid disoiplinarian. He exacts many
things from his company that nobody
would dare demand of the mighty seig-
niors of the Conedie
It is not surprising that Sarah Berii-
hardt should have dispensed with the
prompters box, as she possesses a mar
Vicious memory. She learns the words
of her part with such facility that she
does not require to study them in ad.
vance, as she has them by heart after
few rehearsals. The rumber of lines she
has to say in 81 Aiglon" is fabulous; but
she has never been known even TO hest
tate while delivering the longest of the
many long TRADES in which the piece
abounds. Rejane also has an admirable
memory, and even on first nights requires
no assistance from the prompter. Barren,
one of the cleverest and most popular Of
French comedians, states that though
he very rarely needs to have his mem4
DRY logged, he feels he would be unable
to remember liue if he did not know
that the prompter was there to come to
his rescue in case of necessity.

Chaucer was in appearance?'
well, there is manuscript work In
this case which gets its Chaueer interest
from the fact that it contains a por trait
of him Anyhow, the volume-it is by
friend of Chaucer's, one Thomas Occleve
belongs to the early part of the fif-
teenth century. The poem contains a
reference to Chaucer--a reference by one
who knew him-and the portrait is op-
posite. This drawing. may be said to be
the foundati of all the portraits which
are known of Chaucer Next we come
to the Landsdowne manuscript. and it
also has a picture of Chaucer worked
into an initial letter. We may pass over
the subsidiary mandscripts-thos of
Chaucers minor worlxs-and look at the
early printed editions of the Canterbury
Tales. rs
ITO what date do the editions belong?"
tChaucer died in 1400 and these four
volumes were printed before $780, Two
of them are Caxtons, and so are valuable
in double sense-perhaps they are worth
e., coo each The third book is printed
by Tynson, the fourth by Wynkin de
Worde We have also a Caxton edition
of Chaucer's minor writings, and, again,
all the collected editions show how peo-
pie kept inserting things into Chaucer
that We're not Chaucer's. This kind Of
editing of him reached its climax with the
edition of Urry of 1921, the worst edition
of ALL
There was, then, clear call for the
Chaucer Society,"
There was, indeed It's mission was to
get rid of what was not Chaucers, and
toward that end five Of the best manu-
scripts were printed side by side The
society has also edited the Canterbury
Tales so providing an authoritative text
1 might talk to you of the Kelmscott
Chaueer or of a very different subject
the efforts which various writer's since
Chaucer have made to render him into
English of their own day. Even an at
tempt was made to turn him into rhymed
Latin, but it was no more successful than
the others. AS I say, I might talk of
these and such like points, but perhaps
what I have told you sufficiently indf-

THE WRONG ENVELOPE.
\ Little Mistake That Cost Senator
Chandler Some Uneasiness.

Success.
Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire,
is known as one of the most exact and
painstakifg of men. lie rarely mtt4Zes
mistakes, and has little patience to spare
for those Of others. But the willy and
careful senator was recently guilty Of
blunder which cost him much trouble
to rectify. 1t was nothing more or less
than exchanging envelopes upon Two let
tiers written about the same matter The
story as related by his very dear friends
runneth thus:
Once upon time Chandler received an
invitation from Senator Frye to go up
to one of the Maine lakes and enjoy
spell of hunting and fishing. Politics
would of course come up during the quiet
evenings Senator Chandler had other
plans, and thereupon he indifed two let
ters, one to his wife, which ran to this
effect:
"My Dear Lucy: 1 have received an
invitation from Frye to go up with MIN
into Maine for a hunting and fishing
trip; but L shall not accept. Frye is
temperance crank, and never has any
thing for himself or friends to drink, aid
therefore have got out of the thing as
automatically as / can There Is not much
enjoyment under the circumstance"
The letter then ran on to detail other
domestic condolences.
The letter received by Mrs. Chandler
ran nlerrily along these lines:
my Dear Frye: received your invl-
tation, and am very sorry that I cannot
accept You know Mrs Chandler is very
disagreeable about such things, and SO
must decline. Some other time when I
can get up a good story to justify the
fun"
The first intimation which Senator
Chandler had of his error was an indig-
nant missive from the wife of his bosom
berating him for his ungallant conduct in
holding her up to his friends as a dfsa-
greeable woman.
Senator Frye, fortunately for Chandler,
held his peace, as he did not know wheth-
er or not the epistle was loaded, and
fancied that the contretemps might be
merely one of Chambers little jokes,
which would have an ending disastrous
to intermeddlers. The truth of the matter
is that Senator Chandler is just as much
of teetotaler as his confrere from
Maine, but the other senators who have
heard of the affair are chatting him I'M

the operations for the relief of Gen. Dor

Fourteenth infantry.
Gen. Forwards report contains little
that is new but relating to the withdraw
al of the Ninth United States infantry
after it had suffered so heavily in the at
tack upon Tien Tsin, he says:
4 would specially bring to notice the
conduct of Maj Jesse Lee during the re-
tirement. In him the regiment possesses
an officer Of exceptional merit"
Among many instances of personal
bravery during the action 1 would special
ly bring to notice the conduct of Capt
Smedley ID. Butler, L. S. marines. in
bringing a wounded man in from the
front under a heavy and accurate fire.
Butler was wounded while so doing, and
was himself carried out of the firing line
by Adjt. Leonard, who, / regret to say
was dangerously wounded in so doing.
capt Lawton, of the Ninth %. 81 reg

dition under a heavy fire. When return
