AUTOMOBILE 4 RACES.

Paris, June 27, 9 a. m,-From mid night on during the early morning hours a stream of bicyclists and auto mobiles marked the road from Paris to Fort Champigny, Q dozen miles east of the city, the start of the auto mobile race between Paris and Berlin, at 3:30 this morning, attracting unus- ual interest. It was indeed most pie turesque sight. The crossroads of Champigny, where hundreds of bicy- cles and automobiles were assembled, were illuminated with Chinese lam terms, while every few minutes a racing car would dash up and take it's allotted position in the line. In front of the starting place, by 3:30 a. m. at least 2,000 enthusiasts gathered to watch the start. many being scattered along the Berlin road. The first few racers left in the twilight before the break of day, and were almost imme- diatelyS lost to view. Later, in the bright sunshine, the auto-cars left with such speed that they were envel- oped in a cloud of dust after covering POO yards, the dust resembling notI- ing so much as the smoke of an ex- press engine.

Name Kept Secret.
 New York, June 27.-According to a Chicago dispatch to the Void, Mrs John G. Steinfie1d, wife of al florist there, was called upon lately hy three men who were strangers and who, after questioning her closely for the purpose of Identification, presented her with a package containing $50,000,and immediately left.
 Mrs SteinfleId was too much ex- cited by the visit to do any question ing and did not open the package in the presence of her visitors.
 The visit of the men with the cash was the climax to an anxious night passed by the recipient, owing to a peculiar s'personaP' which had ap- peared in an afternoon paper. While in her store a boy who works for her read the advertisement, which read:
 Mrs J. c. Steinfield: You have been very kind to me when I was sick at the home of R., so please accept the S50,000 and do not seek the, giver'
 T have no idea what is meant in the personal by home of R. but pre- fer not to say anything about it at present" Mrs Steinfeld explained. T did work at certain place in the city once where sick persons are treated. I simply did my duty for those there. Many of the persons I waited on were wealthy and could afford to do a thing like this. I wish I knew who had re- membered me so generously, but I really do not. know. May be I shall find out later."

n.realsary su.cidnl Mania.

An extraordinary case of heredi- taTy suicidal mania is reported from Paris A skilled artisan in wrought iron has been found by his wife hang ing quite dead from the ceiling in their dining-room. The man left a letter saying that he was forced to commit suicide because he had reached the age of 35 years, at which his, forefathers before him had all taken their own lives. The police in- qtiiry has shown that the latter part of the mans statement is correct. The suicide maoia runs in the fam fly and irresistibly gains possession of each member as they attain their thirty-fifth year. The mans father and grandfather, and lately his uncle, all died by their own hand when they reached that age. Since his last birthday deceased had been de- pressed and told his wife and his friends what was preying on his mind was the uncomfortable force, which he was powerless to resist, urging him to commit suicide during the wear.

READY FOR THE RAGE.
Many Beautiful Steam Yachts Were
 Drawn in Line.

 Drawn in Line.
 New London, Conn, June 27.-An in- tensely hot sun, making it evident that the physhal endurance of the oarsmen of Harvard and Yale will be severely tested to-day, lighted up New London harbor this morning. Early, it touch ed the sombre gayness of the dawn and brought out in bright relief against the fast disappearing mist as pretty fleet of boats as has ever been seen here.
 The interest of the early morning was centered on the appearance among the fleet of the big 90-footer Constitu- tion, and as she lay in the lower har- bor she received continuous adulation from the occupants of scores of yacht tenders. The Navahoe, another big racer, lay just below her and the 70 footer Rainbow was almost alongside.
 In the fleet, the United States gov ernment was represented by the Dol phin, having aboard Secretary of the Navy Long and party: the Gresham, with a number of lighthouse and reve- nue service officials aboard; the Dal- las, the Dexter ana the Algonquin of the revenue service acting as course boats and the Onondago with a merry party of congressman, mostly from New York
 Among the beautiful steam yachts in evidence were J. F. Morgan's Cor sair; Thos. W. Lawson's Dreamer; c. H. Osgood's Narwhar; B. F. Keiths Courier; Colonel A. c. Tyler's Pedal ma; Lloyd Phoenix's Intrepid and for mer Commodore Walls American were conspicuous
 The Tuscarora, Wanda, Mingo, Sus- qnehanna, Anita, Allegro, Atlanta, Irene, May and Avenal were also in the fleet. In the sailing class that lined up along the course or got mixed in the bunch at the finish were the Nava- hoe, Isolde, Emerald, ISirin, Flying Cloud Crusader, Charmer, Marguerite Sea Fox, Fortune, Rainbow and Sha- wondasse
 The hotels with their corridors lined with cots would have indicated last night that an immense crowd was al- ready in New London, but the morn Ing trains as they rolled steadily in brought thousands more to swell the cfoWdS or enthusiasts. In sentiment. the well dressed and in the main we'll Dehaved crowd seemed to be about equally divided, and the color line. that is, college colors, was almost as fairly drawn. The betting was not of dn excltlng character, and was mainly confined to the corridor of one botel and to private wagers. During the morning odds of to ? were offered py 1ale adherents that the Yale fresh men would win, and there was m very enthusiastic response from the Harvard contingent.
 The four-oared race was bar,llv touched by the bettors. if being ganar- ally conceded to Harvard. The hnllk or the wagers went on the varsity race and the odds at II o'clock were X 10 that Yale would win. On thiS proposition the Harvard men acted With some spirit, but refused to bet

TRANSPORT ON FIRE 1T SEA
Terrible Experience of Crew of
 British Ship Monterey.

Two Officers of the Ship Lowered Ov-
 CT the Side-Broke Holes Into Side
 of Ship and Poured Water from Hose
 on the Fire-After Time They Sue
 ceeded ir Distinguishing the Flames.
 New Orleans, June 27.-The British mule transport Monterey from Cape Town, has arrived in port after a ter rible experience with fire at sea. Twelve days out from St Vincent flames were discovered in the after hold and gained such headway that the heat prevented the usual means of ex- tinguishing fire on shipboard. Flames and clouds of smoke poured out from the hold, and when the officers and crew were about to abandon the ship, First Officer Reid and Fourth Officer Harrison volunteered a daring plan. They proposed to tie wire cables around their bodies and have their con- panions lower them down the side of the ship until they were abreast the port opening into the burning section. This desperate expedient was adopted.
 As the fire was near the waterline Reid and Harrison were lowered down until they were submerged in the sea nearly up to their waists. Hanging thus half buried in the waves, with the ship under headway, the men battered in the port. A hose was then lowered to them, and for several hours they hung, swinging outward and inward, pouring stream into the blazing hold. In this way they finally checked the flames. The vessel was badly damag- ed.

REMEMBERED MISS SCULLY
Resolutions Passed by. Glass, Accou~
 panied by Her Diploma

|
 panied by Her Diploma. To-day the sisters of the late Ger- 1 trude F. Scully of Washington street received her diploma from the state normal school at New Britain accom- panied by a set of resolutions of which the following is copy.
 May 2s, 1901.
 The senior class of the New Britain Normal school have passed these resoI- utions upon the death of Gertrude Elizabeth Scully:
 ! Whereas, It hatA pleased Divine Pro- vidence to take suddenly from us one whose cheerfulness, thoughfulness, and admirable qualities have endeared her to us all,
 Resolved. That we, the class of nine- teen hundred and one, New Britain State Normal school, by the death ot Gertrude, have lost sincere friend, n loving companion, a woman of sweet disposition, sterling integrity and worth of character.
 Resolved, That inasmuch as she was one of the members of our class, and with us at South Manchester at our coming graduation exercises, in which she would have taken part, her ap- sence will be deeply felt.
 Resolved, That this brief memorial be entered upon the minutes of the class. and also copy be transmitted to the family, as token of sincere and heartfelt sympathy.
 SENIOR CLASS, 1901.
 Miss Scully finished her course at the Normal school last fall, but as the institution does not issue diplomas un- til June, she was not spared long enough to receive the prize which she labored so heroically to obtain, so that what was looked forward to by her sisters, the Misses Minnie, Nellie, Genevieve and their many friends, with happy anticipations, comes as a very forcible reminder of the great un- certainty of the things of this world. But while this is true, it is but fair to assume that the diploma just received and the expressions of sympathy cons tained in the resolutions will always be cherished by the surviving sisters of the young woman who has been called away and whose ability as a student and exemplary character won her tho respect, and esteem of the faculty and others with whom she came in contact at the Normal school in New Britain.
