When the students return to their there will be great welcome extend ed to two co1ored men-Marshall and Matthews. There seems to be no probability of a color line ever being drawn at the crimson university. The standing of the colored man in athletics at Cambridge as we'll as in debating and in getting scholarships is what Booker T. Washington would say "a distinct tribute to brains and ability rather than to pigment cells"
 Every follower of college baseball knows that Harvard won from Yale in the climax game of the season in the ninth inning of a great game. Garvan, Yale's cleverest twirler, was serving up benders for the crimson batsmen and the rooters were shout ing themselves hoarse. The Yale rooters were making an indescriba- ble din when Rightfielder Matthews 1.-the form was seen to go toward the plate. Matthews carried bat that seemed too small to be of assistance in soaking" one of Caravans curves. The bat connected with the ball, however, for a single and the game was won.
 The joy of the Harvard men was talked about in the college papers, but it could not have been greater than was that of the hero of the game. He was counted good man with the stick, but not many believed he would be able to fill the bill in that crucial test Matthews will be in baseball next year for his alma mater.
 Marshall, the other colored lad whom all Harvard men are glad to honor, is likely to be the star quar- terback of the crimson eleven again this fall. Every follower of the grid iron game recalls the prowess of this snappy little fellow who gave the signals last fall. He was in the fierce calcium light of criticism and never failed. One of his predecessors was little Capt. Daly, the greatest quar- terback Harvard has ever had, who is now natty-looking cadet at West Point, and who was, by the way, the bright particular star of the army and navy game last year, which President Roosevelt saw and cheered. In the Yale game last year Marshall's work doubtless was called 'sgilt edged' by thousands of spectators. He surpassed his mates- in effectual play. He can handle the ball as Daily did, is sure and can be depended upon for goals from the field--he made one in the Yale game.

Everybody Can't Do Everything.

We can't paint picture, or carve q statue. or make coat, but we can wash clothes to perfection. We can do it because we do nothing else--have done nothing else for good while-bc- cause we have studied it, and thought about it, and worked hard as any painter ever did. It requires as much hard work, and practice, and talent, to make good laundry as to make good picture. Everybody can't paint pic- can't wash clothes per fectly. We want you to give us a fair trial, and allow us to prove our word.

BABY TAYLOR IN ITALY.
Child Supposed to Have Been Kid
 naped at Last Located.

Cincinnati. May 6.-The story that the Kidnapped baby Taylor, whose grandmoth- CT and aunt have been sentenced to the penitentiary, was in an orphan asylum at Albany, N. r., has been exploded by in- formation received here, according to the Commercial Tribune, that the child has been located by detectives employed for the purpose in Italy with her aunt, Miss Clara Taylor. Proceedings will at once be taken through state and national off cials for the return of the child to her mother.
 Prosecuting Attorney Harry Hoffheimer today made a acquisition on Governor Nash for the extradition from Italy of Miss Clara Taylor, who Is under indict- ment here for Kidnapping Margaret Tay- Tor. The information that Clara Tay- Tor had been located in Italy came to Governor Nash through Secretary of State Hay and Governor Nash to Prose- cutor Hoffheimer. The governor was ad- vised of the case while Clara Taylor was in London and from that city she was traced through the continent to Italy.
 Columbus, O., May Ex-Governor Nash said today that the story as published In the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune agreed with the information he had in-
 solar that he was told that Miss Clara
 Taylor and the kidnapped Margaret Taylor
 had left England for Italy at the time he received the information.

 Her Fiancee IS PROMINENT Vl2GINIAN Miss Bridewell Recently Visited the Brander Family and New York Papers Print Story of Her
 Engagement to Wed.

Miss Carrie Bridewell was in Birming- ham such a short time last Saturday that few of her many admirers glimpsed her. In fact 1t was not generally known that she had passed through the city. The famous contralto was on her way to Houston. Tex, to fill a festival engage ment
 Tonight Miss Bridewell sings in Annis- ton.
 In Houston she received an ovation, and her visit south has been continual triumph She has made conquests, it seems, of every one, notably Mir Thomas Brander of Richmond, a well-known young Virginian, to whom Miss Bride we'll is said to be engaged.
 The engagement was first discussed in New York by the members of the Grau i Opera Company. While the papers were announcing the professional plans of Miss Bridewell there were the interesting whispers of romance. Finally this reached the papers, and then Miss Bride | well denied her engagement to MT Brander.
 The New York Herald tells the story as l follows:
 If the news that comes from Richmond, Va, is true, aud there are those in opera tic circles in this city who say they know l all about it, tho stage is soon to lose an- other of it's well known singers.
 Miss Carrie Bridewell, the contralto, who has been for two seasons with the Maurice Grau Opera Company, is reported engaged to MT. Thomas Brander of Rich mond a member of one of the old Virginia families prominent in that State since be- fore the Revolution.
 Miss Bridewel has just returned from 1 a somewhat extended visit to Richmond, where she was the guest of the Brander family. It Is said by those who know the family that she completely captivated every member of it, and a sister-in-law of the man to whom she Is said to be en- gagged returned to New York with her and is now her guest at the Herald Square Hotel
 Miss Bridewell, who had hardly got set tied in her apartments. was very much surprised yesterday when asked if the report of her coming marriage was true
 Why" she said, who could have told that I wonder, up here?"
 Miss Bridewell left the room and when she returned she said: MT. Brander's sister-in-law is with me now. l just went up to see her. Do you know the family wouldn't like anything 1 published about thing of this kind. They wouldn't want any publicity about anything of that sort. Please say for me that am not thinking of getting married.
 You know, 1t is really funny l have been in this country for five years and they have had me engaged or married or something ever so many times But this l don't know how they ever thought of this. Just say I am not thinking about getting married. His family wouldn't like l anything published. His sister said so.' Then you are not engaged?"
 Now, I have told you that I am not thinking about getting married. Just deny it in that way for me-

It is good thing to know of food that will add volumes to ones strength, for the strong can do things and accom- plish work in this world while the weak must stand to one side.

 T began using Grape-Nuts and in a very short Mime that weak, broken down feeling entirely disappeared. I had form erly been forced to give up my breakfast in order to give my stomach a rest, but when I got hold of Grape-Nuts I could eat breakfast for the food seemed to help digest other foods, and soon I begarf to gain in weight and strength
