There wasn't glory enough for all the Yale crews at New London yesterday, but there was enough for the big crew, and almost enough for the Freshman crew. There was some gloomy talk around Wednesday night that the Har- ward University crew had rowed over the course quicker than the Yale Uni versity crew, but 1t didn't seem to be able to do it yesterday, and the Yale crew could have made even better time than 1t did if it had really been pushed. In addition to the usual stimulus to heroic effort the Harvard crew had the special stimulus of the presence of the President of the United States, who would have been glad to see his school win. Perhaps Yale was stimulated by his presence to show him what he miss ed by not being a Yale man. Anyway, she showed him and all the assembled multitude what Yale could do. It was fine sight, much finer than the sight which was seen at the Yale field last Tuesday and which would have pleased the President.
 If the Freshman race had been lit tie longer perhaps the Yale crew would have come out stronger, It was appar- ently just getting ready to go ahead when the line was crossed and the race ended in "tie'

ed upon the shore they are placed in boats and carried to the pens where they are assorted aceording~to to the size, and those too small for market are put where they are expected to remain un- til large enough to ship. Others are placed in pens with those already on { hand, but larger, and at the proper time are taken from their feeding grounds, placed in barrels or boxes that admit an abundance of air and shipped to New Orleans, where MT. PaVell has always found ready sales for them at prices very profitable.
 He has shipped turtles recently that weighed as much as 150 pounds, but
 prefers to handle the small ones as the meat is regarded as more delicate, and
 the price for which they sell on the market is approximately higher. He
 gives them as much room as they re-
 quire in shipping and rarely loses one
 if kept in a cool place, but they cannot
 be shipped far in hot weather. Of seY- eral thousand sent from this depot dur
 ing the past season less than twenty died in transit, but they go by express and are quickly unpacked on arrival at the other end of the route,
 Those left in pens must have mud to hide in and an abundance of moving water, yet they enjoy a sun bath in the hottest weather, but cannot live long in stagnant water; hence every pen is so arranged that the tide flows in and out every day, He has kept turtles as long as three years, at the end of which time they were healthy, frislIy and as ready to snap at a stick placed in their way as were those fresh from the water, yet they show no disposition to fight among themselves and it is rare thing to find a dead one in the pens. Loggerheads and checkerbacks seem to fraternize in captivity, and both live harmoniously with alligators, though they will eat the flesh of the latter after the skin has been removed, and take eagerly to dead fish; but seem to prefer crayfish and the soft rotos of the marsh grasses.
 The prices paid for alligator hides for several years past have not been suffi- cient to tempt hunters to devote much time to killing them, so that three and fouryear-o odds are becoming much more numerous recently than they were two or three years ago, A few old ones, nine to twelve feet long, are still met with, far out in the swamps, where they are comparatively safe, from the fact that the hide off of a large one Is very heavy and men are not Inclined to wade through slush waist deep and carry a hide weighing 150 to 200 pounds several miles for the paltry sum of 95 cents or Daily News.

A considerable proportion of the deaths in India annually attributed to snake bite are probably due to poison ing of another kind, says the London Navy and Army The explanation is simple and interesting. When a man in an outlying village dies evidently from the effects of poison it is the duty of the headsman of the village to take in, if not the body, at any rate the vis- cera for examination by the civil sur geons of the nearest civil station, which may be some thirty miles away. To avoid this tedious journey the name of the deceased is duly entered on the vil- Iage record as having died from snake bite, and the entire village is afterWard ready to swear that it saw the snake-- a karait yard and a half long-which did the deed, and which was subse- uuently slain by several different peo- pie in several totally different sets of circumstances.

UNFORTUN4TE CUBA.

Reciprocity with Cuba has failed for the present, but it is probably not dead. While it is sleeping, however, there may be serious trouble Recent reports from Cuba tell of the cessa ton of work on the sugar estates where till now hope has been entertained of favorable reciprocity treaty with the United States. Stagnation of business, idleness and discontent are about to follow upon the brilliant hopes caused by our in- reference for the expulsion of Spain. The situation is a precarious one. If the Cuban government can feed the idle poor, it may get along well enough for a time, but the recent rebels against Spain may take to the woods again with their rifles and machetes Brigand- age may take the place of the industry which our congress discourages.
 Too bad and unnecessary There should have been a generous and hearty fulfllment of our promise. There is no doubt as to the attitude of the public in this country, and when the matter comes up again public sentiment is likely to make itself felt.

Co1oR YoUR 0WN BUrrERINE.

It is cheering to know that though the new interchangeable law will be- come operative July first, families will still be able to get the beautiful butter inc that they have had. One firm of packers has issued a circular stating that a ten cents pound tax on oleo- margarine is practically prohibitive, and that, therefore, the uncolored arti- cle is recommended. While hotels res taurants and boarding houses cannot buy uncolored butterine and color it, the circular continues, yet a family is not restricted from doing so The statement is then made that the firm is ready to furnish coloring matter in cap sules which will enable housewives who receive them with their purchases to color the oleomargarine to suit their individual fancies.
 This is good news. Many families that have become accustomed to but terine by buying it for butter will be glad to know that they are not to be deprived of 1t if they will only take pains to put the color in themselves.

Washington has home for friendless dogs, and it's patronesses include such well-known society women as Mrs. Nell son A. Miles, Mrs. John Hay, Mrs. Jo- seph Hawley, Mrs. MaclSay Smith and Mrs. William F. Chandler. The dog farm is on the side of a fine hill near the reservoir, and there is plenty of ground for the homeless animals to run around in, as well as comfortable build ings to shelter them when the weather is bad Admission is easily gained All any we'll behaved dog has to do to get in is to run away from home and wag his tail when the policeman asks him if he has an owner. But such a dog goes in the free portion of the farm. For the dogs whose owners can afford to pay their board there is a large field separated from the free farm by close wire fence. At night each dog boarder has compartment all to himself. His meals are more elaborate and better cooked than are those of the charity guests.

Consular reports received at the State department indicate that big struggle is on for control of the mar kets of South Africa. Millions of dol lars are to be expended in mining ma chinery, agricultural implements and railroad material, and competition for the sales Is very keen. Much of this material will be bought in America, the DeBeers Mining Company favoring American made machinery as well as several other big mining corporations. Germany is working hard to capture the contracts and is a sharp rival of the Americans. A demand is certain to arise for preference for British traders in the new British dominions, and it is understood that the govern ment contracts are to go exclusively to the British.
