took his mark of 2:14A, which was
the worlds stallion trotting record to

FOOT BALL FOLKS AWAKE.
Already Akron athletic clubs are
looking forward with eagerness to the
foot ball campaign. Although none
of the local athletes are especially
anxious to get out and work out dur
ing such weather as this, each club
casts Jealous eyes at its fellow and
wonders what new material it will
have to exhibit next fall, and what
combination of agility and Drawn its
ancient enemy may marshal on the
grldiron when the "harvest days are
over"
No radical changes in the rules Of
the game are contemplated. The big
universities, who set the fashion for
foot ball, are convinced that the game
has been refined and reduced as exact
ly to it's scientific principles as may
safely be done Akron has had some
excellent teams in years past, and
while individual players of espe-
cially hostile nature have done
things to make the game exceedingly
unpopular for few minutes, to
some dazed and battered opponent,
foot ball Is and will remain dear to
the heart of the lover of red blood
and fair play.
The chief objection to Akron games
has been that although game might
commence with but two elevens play
ing, usually, before the end of the
second half, rooters, police and all
movable property on the athletic field
were making end runs, double passes
and drop kicks. The spectators must
remain out of the game to insure good
foot ball.

ON THE NAVAL REGISTER.
The Relative Positions of Officers
Announced by Secretary Long

Announced by Secretary Long
Secretary Long yesterday issued an
order announcing the relative positions
Of naval officers on the register The
order was necessary because of the pro-
vision in the last naval appropriation law
directing that the advancement of officers
Of the Navy ana Marine Corps for services
rendered during the war with Spain
should not interfere with the regular
promotion OF officers otherwise entitled
to promotion The department has in
terpreted the law 10 mean that an Of
ilcer who had been advanced by numbers
for service rendered during the war with
Spain is not to be regarded as additional
20 the number allowed by IAN IN his
grade until he is promoted TO a higher
grade than the one liz which he was when
he received advancement The depart
ment holds that the purpose Of the law is
not to hasten the promotion Of ofirers
advanced for war service, but To preEeut
such adyancements from interfering with
the advancement OF others
The special order shows that siXty-siX

the Marine Corps were rewarded for gal

The Foolish Cubnns.

There may be some doubt about the
sending Of a Cuban commission to
Washington to discuss the Plat terms
with the President. me Havana pa
pers yesterday printed a despatch from
Washington which warned the COnven-
ton that it would be time wasted to
take such action, since Nj Mckinley
would decline to consider the subject OF
Cuban relations except upon the Plat
basis How he could be expected to
negotiate on any other IS a mystery to
everybody but the Cubans. whose ideas
of the unlimited power of the American
Chief Magistrate no doubt are derived
from study of his pro-consuI. General
Wood They DO not see why, if the
Constitution can be openly violated to
enrich the trusts at the expense Of
Porto Rico. and incidentally to spread
want. misery. and starvation over that
island. a mere act of Congress may not
be ignored TO please them But they
are wrong. Mr. Mckinley induced Con
gress to act on their matter. because

People Who Mean Wen.


The prayer. Lord deliver US from our
friends has teen echoed by numerous
perplexed people at one time or another.
The reason Of this is that the actions Of
many persons are governed by those
motives defined by a certain clergyman
in q modern realistic novel. who when
asked what got him mo a particularly
embarrassing scrape, replied:
NY goodness Of heart. which ! did not take

ocular people who insisted on inter
ering in the business of all their rela-
lives. telling tales. misinterpreting in
nocent remarks, and retailing gossip
about private affairs Of all kinds, and
who did all this with such unimpeach-
able motives and such an air OF limo
cence and wisdom that the natural de-
sire to hit them was checked. An open
enemy one can manage OF abuse, &C

thing at all with him.
The virtue Of forbearance is perhaps

face of the earth To let thing alone

OF the severest tests Of self control, TO
most Of US. 1t is particularly difficult
10 do this when we are sure We ARE
