DR.. Chittenden Would Bar Question
able Students.
Milwaukee, Aug. 4.-Dr G. c. Chit
tenden of Madison yesterday at the
meeting of the National Association
of Dental Examiners, made a motion
seeking to protect the schools from
undesirable students. He offered a
resolution as follows:
Resolved, That the National Asso-
citation of Dental Faculties be respect
fully requested to formulate and adopt
a practical rule which will prevent the
possibility Of the acceptance by one
college of questionable credentials of
been rejected by another school,"
The resolution was adopted. Any
school which violates it may be de-
clared not in good standing. The
whole effort now is to raise the stand
ard, and it is felt that a wrong is done
by one school which accepts a student
without finding out the record of his
first school.
DR.. Dowsley of Massachusetts and
DR.. Meeker of New Jersey submitted a
verbal report of the proceedings of the
International Dental congress.
The National Association of State
Dental Examiners, in session at the
Plankington house, appointed Dr..
Charles A. Meeker of New Jersey and
DR.. G. E. Mitchell of Massachusetts to
make an investigation into the dental
affairs of Porto Rico and report to the
association at its next meeting. The
government will be asked to commits
sion the two men so as to make the
investigation official. The state board
of Iowa was notified that it had been
dropped from membership for default.
Temporary licenses or permits to
practice were abolished. The resigna
ton of the New Jersey board from
membership was withdrawn and with
it died the fight against DR.. Meeker
The ,reputability and dignity OF
American dental colleges in Germany
was discussed at length, but no action
was taken. The committee on foreign
relations reported at the meeting in
the Hotel Pfster of the National AS
ISOLATION of Dental Faculties, and
made recommendations regarding the
efforts which have been in progress to
stamp out the illegal traffic in diplo-
mas of fake American colleges.

CADILLAC
WINNER
DETROIT BOAT WILL DEFEND
CANADIAN CUP AGAINST
INVADER.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-The Cadillac of
Detroit has been selected to defend
Canadas cup against the Canadian
challenger, the Invader. The decision
was reached yesterday by the judges
after the Cadillac had won another de-
cisive victory over the Milwaukee,
beating it over the line by about
eleven minutes. The course yesterday
was triangular, twenty-one miles in
length with the wind blowing Is miles
from the northeast
The Milwaukee was the first across
the line with the Cadillac ten seconds
in her wake. The Milwaukee forged
ahead and soon had a lead of three
fourths of mile, which was main
tanned to the first buoy. On the
second leg both used balloon jibs and
as the Cadillac gained slightly under
the conditions supposed to be more
eral opinion the race would go to the
Detroit boat. AS soon as WindWard
work commenced the Cadillac gained
steadily. She quickly passed the Mil
waukee and increased her lead all the
way home.
She was two minutes behind at the
second buoy and finished eleven min
utes ahead, making a gain of thirteen
minutes on the last seven miles. The
official elapsed time was: Cadillac,
2:54:55; Milwaukee, 3:06:08.
The first race between the Invader
and the Cadillac will be sailed August
10, weather permitting.

The tour. of Thomas O. Seabrooke in
Sydney Rosenfeld's comic romantic
play, A Modern Crusoe, will open at
the Olympic theater, ST. Louis, Sept.
/. From st. Louis the company
jumps to the California coast for an
extended engagement, after which it
will play all the large cities of the
northwest. A Modern Crusoe is a
comic romantic play. In series OF
quantity humorous scenes it places in
picturesque, logical and laughable juX-
Imposition the wealth and luxury Of the
modern twentieth century existence
and the primitive poverty of life on
desert island in the south Pacific.
Among the members of the company
is Miss Isabelle Evesson, known for
her sterling work as leading lady in
some of the principal eastern stock
companies. Her personal beauty and
histrionic attachments render her a
valuable adjunct to this organization.
She will be seen as a modern, self de-
pendent woman, devoid of all senti-
mentality, yet healthily susceptible to
all that attracts true womanhood.

meet a deficit caused by a revival OF

Stock Breeding.

Breeding is science when it is done
for the purpose Of arriving at results
which are sought as q possibility, al
though the breeder may begin in man.
ner that does not apparently warrant
him in proceeding with his venture, says
the Philadelphia Record. Some breed
ers, among them Blackwell and Western,
we're 80 years in perfecting one breed
of sheep and swine. Every animal sold
by them put the purchaser 80 years
ahead in the line of improvement. They
simply selected the best for the breeding
purposes every year and were compelled
to inbreed their animals in order to fix
their characteristics. The farmer must
pursue the same course with his herds
and hocks, and he must make his selec-
tons each year by discarding every ami
NAL that does not come up to certain
degree of excellence and he must never
become discouraged. as even the most
skillful breeders do not succeed in Sc
curin z but few very valuable speci-
mems each year, though an improve
ment will be noticed every season. The
gain is but little, ard skill is essential =,
but in time the stock differs greatly
from the original. Should extraordi-
nary excellence be observed 10 certain
individuals the breeder may abandon
bis plans and methods and start on new
lines of breeding, as he learns by ex-
perience during his progress and takes
advantage Of accident or discoveries, but
he always adheres to his original object
Of making breed that is to be adapted
to a special purpose.
Even among the best breeds of live
stock some individuals will be more
valuable for certain uses than others,
and those with the highest records may
not display their best points of excel
lence until selected for breeding This
is evidenced by the wonderful running
horses of half a century ago-Lexing-
ton and Glencoe. The first held the
four mile record for 20 years, while the
latter was one of the feetest in Eng
land, being imported into this country.
Neither left son that was o successful
sire, but the daughters of both we're the
danes of the best horses Of their day,
and their descendants are the leaders of
the turf in both countries at the present
time, there being but few Derby win
ners that have not descended from Glen
coe. Among cattle the same has oc-
CURED. Jupiter, Rioter, Stoke Pogis,
Coomassie. Eurotus and other individu-
ais founded families of Jerseys that have
made that breed famous, yet there we're
many hundreds of Jerseys 10 exist
enoe and the breed had already estab-
lished its claim as ranking high for pro-
ducing butter. Any breed will lose its
prestige if the selection of the best in
dividuals is not strictly adhered to, aud
breeders rely more upon the exploits Of
certain members Of their herds or aocks
than upon the whole, for no matter how
careful the breeder may be or how judi
ciously he may mate bis animals he will
have some that will fall below the stand
ard of excellence.
