and May 22nd was completely dismast-
ed in what was first said to be squall,
but which later reports describe as only
an ordinary breeze The bobstay plate

any one. King Edward was on board

Upton has cabled the New York Yacht
Club for more time, which of course
will be granted, and the cup races have
been postponed until September Mr..
Lawson cabled Upton that if he was I'M
able to cross the Atlantic this season
he, Lawson, would take over the indie
pendence and race either OF both the
Shamrocks. The incident shows that
there is good sporting blood on both
sides of the Atlantic. 1t is now re-
ported that the n. Y. Y. c. has receed-
ed from its untenable position and will
let the Independence sail in the trial
races.
Arlo Bates, Professor of English,
Massachusetts, Institute of Technology,
contributes to the May number of The
Forum an article on ''The Negative Side
of Modern Athletics" which should be
brought to the attention of educators
everywhere. There is truth in the say
ing that ''all work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy" and no one would
want to deprive students of reason
able amount of recreation and health
full exercise. The tendency nowadays
is, however, to overdo athletics in the
schools and colleges. More than twenty
five years ago we heard stump speak
er in minstrel entertainment ask:
"What do we want of any more col
leges? Haven't we boating men enough
already?" The question, slightly varied,
is pertinent now. Prof Bates says:
"The enjoyment of sport and of the
excitement attending it has under pres
ent conditions not only to large ex-
tent taken the place of mental recrea-
ton and mental exertion, but it has
also SO warped the minds Of many of
the rising generation as to render in
tellectual pleasure entirely unattrac-
tive. The college man of to-day, be-
lieve, has often been turned away from
literature and the inner life by two
great zeal for athletics. What is more,
the absorbing fascination of sport has,
in some cases at least, crippled even the
appreciation of the delight of mental
growth"

vt the last Republican State conven-
ton i'll Bangor it was stated that the
next governor of Maine would be Hon.
William T. Cobb of Rockland, and he
has already received assurances Of sup
port from different sections of the
State. OF late, however, there have
been jntimations of a dark-horse in
training for the contest, and last week
Hon. Joseph II. Manley was formally
entered for the Gubernatorial race. 1t
looks as though the Rockland man will
have TO wait about eight years before
attaining the honor he seeks, and of
which he is eminently worthy.

Women as Poor Pay" is the cap
ton of an editorial in the June number
OF the Ladies' Home Journal. The first
sentence reads: ''The average Ameri-
can woman has very poor reputation
among trades people in the matter of
paying her bills" That is not our ex-
perience We have found the women
as a rule more prompt in paying their
subscriptions than the men, and when
the paper is in the husbands name it is
often the wife who joys his memory to
call and pay the publisher. We consid-
Ell the women good pay"

INQUIRED ABOUT COOK,
Two Convicts Who Captured
Him Are Back i'm Prison.

us Sheriff Cook still scared to death ?''
were almost the first words of the two
convicts who held Sheriff Cook a pris-
oner in the home of Farmer Worcester
near Pauline the Sunday following the
mutiny at the federal penitentiary,
when they were captured and returned
to the penitentiary.
The two men We're Bob" Clark and
Turner Barnes, and they We're arrested
at I4awton, Ok, during the early part
of the month on the charge of horse
stealing. 1t later developed that they
were escaped convicts from the federal
penitentiary and that they were the
ones who created such a sensation by
holding Sheriff Cook a prisoner for
three hours.
I'VE had Cook bluffed to stand
STILL added the prisoners. He acted
to like a man with the ague- We
hadn't any intention of hurting the poor
man, but under the circumstances We
had to nearly scare him to death q
But say" they continued, he is
easy. Why he could have had us at
any time if he had made the right kind
OF play. You could search US for all
the ammunition we had beside the
worthless cartridges we captured from
him.
I'VE heard he said we snapped the
trigger of the gun at him. Well he
must have been scared. Imagine he
heard a twig snap and had a. fit. We
wouldn't be back at the penitentiary II
all officers were as easy as Cook"

NOVEMBER WAS WARN.
Weather Bureau at Last Announces
Last Month Was Pleasant

The following is the report of the
climate and crop service of the depart
ment of agriculture of the weather bu-
reau for the Kansas section 1or mo-
vember:
while it is usual to have much pleas
ant weather in Kansas during Novern-
Der, the current month has been I'M
usually pleasant The month opened
with a rain and snow storm on the I'd;
following this the temperature rose Gull
minating on the 10th and 18th in the
maximum for a large part of the state;
it then fell until the minimum for the
month was reached on the 18th and 18th,
after which it rose, and continued warm
till the close of the month, resulting in
this being the warmeSt, but one, NO
vember in fifteen years.
1.-THE mean temperature for the state
of 44.9 degrees is SO degrees above the
normal. During the past fifteen years
November. 1899, with a mean tempera-
ture of 4S.4 degrees was the WarmeSl,
and November, 1889, with a mean tenn
perature of 37-5 degrees, was the coolest
The local mean temperatures were
above normal at all stations, the great
est excess, 5 degrees, covering the cen
trail western counties from Ford and
Gray to Cove and Trego, while the least
excess, 1 degree, occurs at Ernpor1a, In
the eastern di vision.
1.-THE precipitation of O.65 of an inch
is 020 of an inch below the normal.
The precipitation was above normal In
Harper, Sumner, Cowley, Elk, Sedgwick,
Harvey and Cherokee counties in the
south. and Atchison, Nemaha. Marshall
and Rawlins in the north part of the
state; over the rest of the state it was
deficient.
Wheat continued growing through
the month, most of it being in fine con-
dition and much of it in very fine con-
dition; much of it was being pastured.
Most of the wheat was needing moiS-
ture by the close of the month to keep
it in growing condition. In the extreme
western counties wheat sowing was not
finished yet. Corn was mostly in the
crib. Some blowing was being done in
the southern counties, and some alfalfa
was cut for hay"

HAzEN KEBUKEs HIMSELF.
Grants a New Trial Because He Lost
His Temper.

There is never sufficient reason for
a Judge to lose his temper said Judge
Hazen this morning, and for that reason
he granted new trial In the case of
John Chandler against Mrs. S. Clancy
Faust.
Chandler brought suit for 500 claimed
to be due him for groceries bought from
him in Mountain Grove, Mo-, by Mrs.
Faust, who now lives here In the trial
of the case a letter was shown in evil
dence supposed to have been written by
Chandler, to prove whether Mrs Faust
had paid her bill by delivering to him
600 gallons Of wine. There was consid-
cradle haggling over the letter. Experts
were placed on the stand to- show that
the letter was forgery. The attorneys
wrangIed long and earnestly over the
point, and Judge Hazen said He ought
to know whether he wrote the letter or
not" The case was decided against
Mrs. Faust, and her attorneys at once
asked for q new trial, on the ground
that the remark of the court Influenced
the jury.

ALLEN TO GO EAST.
He Will Inspect Institution of Epi-
leptlcs at Craig, New York.

Henry Allen. chairman of the state
board of charities and corrections, will
go east in a short time to inspect the
institution for epileptics at Craig, N
Y, with a view to model one of the
buildings for the new state insane aSy-
lum at Parsons after it.
The main feature of the Parsons asy-
lum will be this building for the treat
ment of epileptics. Medical authorities
say that such patients should be kept
separate from other insane people, and
that cures are much more easily effect
ed by so doing. This will be tried In
the new asylum, and the majority of
epileptics will probably be sent there
for treatment.
The board of charities and corrections
is getting things in readiness so that
work on the buildings for the Parsons
asylum can be commenced early in the
spring.

METcALF WON'T MOVE.
New Pension Agent Is to Stay at
Lawrence.

Col. Wilder S. Metca1f, who succeeds
Cyrus Leland as pension agent, will not
move to Topeka but will retain his home
in Lawrence, going back and forth each
day. He has a large loan and mortgage
business established there and he pro-
poses to keep that up and look after it
personally well as looking after the
business of the pension Office.
Colonel Metcaf expects to enter upon
the duties of mis- new office as soon as
the senate confirms his appointment,
which will probably be done soon after
congress eonvenes again after the holi-
day recess.
