TO COMPETE ABROAD.
Famous American Athletes Viii
Invade Great Britain.
SHELDON, BAXTER, LONG, GOING.

John Flanagan of N. Y. A. G. and
Alexander Grant, u. of p, to Rc-
company Them Intend Paying
Their Own Expenses Scotch and
Irish Records In Danger.
International athletic contests are
becoming more and more a prominent
feature of modern sports. The time
when athletes were comparatively I'M
known outside of their respective
countries has long passed and Of late
years dozens Of American champions
have gone abroad to compete with
their foreign rivals. The utmost fair
ness has, as a rule, been melted out to
them and but few causes for dissatiS-
faction have arisen.
American athletes have in the past
been particularly friendly with their
compeers in England. In rowing,
swimming and general track events
they have fought and refought mooted
questions of superiority.
The season of 1901 will undoubtedly
be the peer of all others in regard to
American-English athletics. A team
of the best athletes in this country has
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1901-04-11

been picked and will visit the British
isles to try for the English champion
ships and incidentally to have a crack
at the Scottish and Irish titles.
The men who will strive for interna-
tionaI athletic fame are Richard Shell
don, Yale university; /. K. Baxter and
Alexander Grant, University of Penn
sylvania; MaXey Long and John Elan
agan, former members Of the New York
a. G. Each member of the team will
foot his own expenses and therefore
will not be subject to the jurisdiction
or dictation of athletic clubs of collegi-
ate associations and can compete when
and where his fancy might direct him.
To Sheldon belongs the credit Of orig
mating the projected invasion. The
big Yale man is well known in England
and is widely popular among those Of
the upper ten who patrOnize athletic
sports, and he thinks the team named
would have an enjoyable time, especial
ly at country meets and other rural
gatherings.
Four years ago Sheldon competed in
the English championships while max
ing a tour of the country and had to be
cCntented with second place in the
shot putting championship. His van
uuisher was Dennis Horgan, holder Of
the British record, but the Yankee VOW
ed some day he would return and adj
minister a thrashing to the Britisher.
! Maxey Long is present holder Of the
| or4o oh mir oh in
which he won in rather impressive
fashion. Of late years many fast
American runners have visited Eng
land, but not since the palmy days of
Lon Meyers has any pedestrian from
this side of the pond created such a
wave of admiration among the Britons
as Long.
Irving X. Baxter is holder of the Eng
lish high jumping championship, which
he won with leap of feet 2 inches
He is a most scientific performer, and
at the few meetings at which he com
peted last year in England his method
of clearing the willow evoked rounds
of applause from those present.
The fourth member of the team will
be John Flanagan, holder of the Eng
lish and American records for throw
ing the Is pound hammer. Flanagan
is an Irishman by birth, and it is his
intention to pilot the team to the prin
cipal meetings offered by the Emerald
Isle.
Alexander Grant of Pennsylvania
university is the fifth member of the
team; but, unlike the others, he holds
no foreign championship. He is 6
good man at any distance from a hall
mile to five miles. He was a starter al
the English championships last year
but found the Saxons possessed of 6
trif1e too much stamina.

RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.
Gems Cleaned From the Teachings
of All Denominations.


of All Denominations.
Jesus Christ is the most remarkable
being the world has ever seen. A star
OF the first magnitude is the divine hui
man Christ. Rev. Robert f. Sample,
Presbyterian, New York.
Truly Spiritual.
Man is born Of the Spirit and be-
that he is guided in higher truth and
lives according to it.-Rev. S. G. Eby,
Swedenborgian, st. Louis.
The Gospel In Shoe Leather.
This l call the gospel in shoe leather.
1t is the gospel of sincerity in all our
relations with our fellows; no pretense,
no sham no dishonest dealing.-Rev.
Josephus Stephan, Methodist, st. Louis
True Marriage.
True marriage is a life of self surren-
der, pure, unselfish devotion each to
the other-soul to soul, life to life,
heart to heart.-Rev. Walter Galley,
Baptist Tabernacle Church, Boston.
The EVIL of Gambling.
Gambling is the attempt to acquire
something for nothing by a game Of
chance. Moral blindness is the direct
result of this vice.-Rev. Frederic e. j.
Lloyd, st. Marks Church, Cleveland.
Creeds.
Creeds are followed by consequences.
The inner life and the outer life cannot
be divorced What is in the fountain
will find it's way into the stream
Rev. R. F. Coyle, Presbyterian, Denver
Christ's AtOnelment.
Nothing more than the suffering of
the cross was needed to make an
atonement for the sins Of the world.
That atonement was complete when
Jesus cried, at is fnishedr'-Rev. j.
S. Kirtley, D. d., Baptist, Kansas
City.
Religious Unity.
1 hope for the time when the three
great religions Of the world Judaism,
Christianity and Mohammedanism-
will sing together the grand anthem of
the brotherhood of man and the father
hood Of Godfrey. DR.. Joseph Silver
man, Hebrew, New York.
Bible and Creed.
The Bible is Gods word to man, and
creed is mans answer to God. The
Bible is a revelation of Gods will.
Greed is the expression of mans COM
prehension of that will, be it ever SO
faulty and imperfect.-Rev. j. W.
Cochrane, Presbyterian, Philadelphia.
The Innocence of JOY.
When religion makes life mean less
and discourages joy and laughter, you
may be sure that it is not Christ's. If
we are living the life Of Christ, our in
tellect should be larger, our strength
greater, and the life of God should be
ours.-Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott, Con-
gregatiOnalist, Brooklyn.
God Is Omnipresent.
Thus not only in the ''still hour"
in the closet. behind the shut door, but
also on the crowded street, on the
steamboat or rushing train, in the
counting room or the workshop, on the
court green or in the busy mart Of
trade, the believer can call upon Cod

It is reported that the new Council

Our Priceless Heritage.

The loss of the soul-what does it
mean? We can estimate the gain Of
the whole world, but we have no mat1-
ematics by which to estimate the loss
of the soul. The gain of the whole
world, if such gain were possible,
would not compensate man for this
loss.-Rev. DR.. G. W. Terbush. Metho-
dist PittSburg

Be Steadfast In Fighting Evil.
Many have resisted several attacks,
and had the devil left them after fail
ing those people would have been in
heaven today. The devil persists, how
ever. Many man fills a cell today
who refused to do the devils bidding
100 times and at last listened and
vielded.-Rev. Frederick w. Moot
Lutheran. Washington.
WOman's Religious Strength.
Woman was last at the cross and
first at the tomb Of the Saviour. The
devotion exemplified then and so fire.
quently exemplified since can be used
to resuscitate that which is lifeless and
barren in our religion and worship. In
her hand perhaps more than in any 9th
err lies the power to give depth to our
devotion, zest to our zeal and reality to
our religion. = Rev. John r. Davies,
Presbyterian, Philadelphia.
Man Is a Free Agent.
Mans free agency made sin in the
world possible, not Gods sovereignty.
God could have made a sinless and sin
powerless being, but he would not have
been free agent. So the liberty Of the
gospel provides the possibility for
Christian defeat and failure. Christ
could have founded defeatless Chris
tian1ty, but it would have been ma
chine Christianity, and the Christian
