not @kely that the diminutiys

was interested last year. With Four

waive all claim to the cup and the money

wrote a letter ernbodying this offer and sent
1t to the stewards, who discussed the mat

HEART STRAIN.
Lessons Drawn From the Death Of
Senator Mcmillan.

0SAdLOI uAC6111du.
From the New York Herald.
Senator McMilIan's death, which occurred
so Unexpectedly on Sunday evening, was
evidently due to overstraining a weak
heart. It was not immediate as the re-
suit of overexertion at golf, but, as Is not
uncommon In similar cases, the ultimate
collapse came subsequently when the cir
cuIation and breathing were quiet and
when no special danger was apprehended
The initiatory attack Of exhaustion was
the warning Of what was to follow
In persons with weak hearts the accident
Is more frequent than Is generally sup
posed. The organ Is overtaxed by sud
den squirt OF energy and seldom, II ever,
RECEIVERS its former rhythmica1 action, the
victim being practically wind broken"
The slightest exertion subsequently brings
on an attack either IN ascending a stair
for train. The organ becomes more or
less distended, and 10 unable to contract
with sufficient force to propel the circula-
ton. 1t may then recover itself after dis
tressing seizure of impending suffocation
or stop altogether as the result Of paraly-
sis. In elderly persons unaccustomed to ac-
tive physical exercise the accident is more
common than In younger individuals. even
when the heart is considered to be equal to
its ordinary work
Although fatty degeneration of the heart
wall Is most commonly a pre-existent con-
iiition, general lack OF muscular tone and

fact has q direct bearing upon the evil con-

Splendid Racing and Big Crewd at

The second seaside meeting Of the New

at Brighton Beach, under favorable aus

the card was the $4,000 Bonner memorial
purse, for trotters of the 2.12 class, for
which there were twelve starters. The blind

was Dan T., who, with record fast as

second heats retire from the race and the
first money goes to the winner OF the fast

same way while the fourth goes to the
horse holding the next best position The
talent in this race forsook the pools and
reality each heat is a distinct race. Prince

three heats. but he was not able to get to
the front till the third.

contractors for ships. armor supplies, etc,
are to be held to strict accountability in the
enforcement Of penalties for non-perform-
ance OF work according to contract The
case on which the ruling Is made is not
made public. but the ruling ITSELF which
has general application, is as follows:
This is request for the waiver of PEN
alties on default of contract The appII-
cants claim that they were unable to fulfill
the provisions of the contract, and argue
that the government was not injured and
the exaction of the penalties would be
hardship
The default is not denied and there is
no evidence that the government exacted
more than the contract called for IL the
penalty worked a hardship. the answer is
that it was introduced into the contract for
that purpose. II the contractors would
escape the penalty, they must avoid the de-
fault.
I'm this department 1t is generally diff
cult to determine the extent of injury oc-
casioned by a delay in the performance of
contracts. If an emergency arose and We
found our ships tied up in the navy yard,
in the hands of defaulting contractors. the
damage might be inestimab,e Nor are
such damages to be measured in dollars
and cents alone. The moral ef-
feet is not to be overlooked. The indif-
ference with which contractors make and
break contracts and then apply to the de-
partment for relief has become dangerous.
If the policy of enforcing these penalties
was strictly adhered to, il might at first
work hardship to- a few individual contrac-
tors. bat the Navy Department is not a
charitable institution, and in the end 1 be-
lieve 1t would be found salutary to the con-
tractors and to the advantage OF the SER
vice.

forced"

hit Pitcher Harper safely only five times.
On the other hand, the st. Louis aggrega-
ton hit Case Patten almost at will and
felded brilliantly. a bad throw by McCor-
mick being the only misplay.
