HIS STIRRING CAREER

Major James B. Pond. the famous au-
thor and lecture manager, died at four
O'Clock yesterday afternoon at his home,
Belmont and Bergen avenues, as the re-
suit of heart failure following the am
putation of his right foot last Wednes-
day.
Before the amputation of his foot he
had suffered much pain from it, and had
been practically confined to his home
since May 4. On that day it was much
swollen. liberation began few days
later and gangrene set in. DR.. G. D..
Hill, the family physician, called in two
specialists, and after a consultation it
was decided that the amputation of the
foot was necessary in order to save the
Majors life. After its. amputation the
Major slowly sank. When he passed
away he was surrounded byshis wife and
other relatives. i He was conscious until
within a fewsmoments of his death, and
recognized those about him.

atorials on the slavery, question attracted
wide attention. Fired with the principles

ment he came out as one of. seventeen of

tackled by Quintrell in the Baxter
Springs massacre.
After the war, Major Pondbl went to
Salt Lake City, Utah. where for awaile
he engaged in mercantile business. In

THE ATHLETES HEART.
In the Rowing Man IL Is Strong and
Well Developed.

In the Rowing Man IL Is Strong and
Well Developed.
a prominent member OF the faculty
OF the University OF Pennsylvania Med
lcal school has made a study OF the
heart action OF athletes. He has ex-
Rmined a large number of men in ath-
letics. especially rowing men, and he
has come 10 the conclusion that no man
In perfect health who has been proper
ly trained is injured by rowing, but
that. on the contrary. his heart is so
strengthened that, with a moderate
amount or exercise after he has finish
ed his rowing career, there is no rea-
son, so far as the heart and lungs are
concerned, that he should not live 10 n
very old age.
The heart" said he, lis both a very
delicate and very strong organ-that
is, II ii is well developed it Will stand
an enormous amount OF strain without
any permanent injury, but If 1t is not
well developed 1t is very easily weak
ened. Violent exercise, like rowing,
places a great deal of strain on the
heart because when the body is being
exerted IL requires so much more pres
sure 10 force the blood through the
body. Like any other muscle that is
worked, the heart under the added Ia
Dor becomes larger, and most athletes
have extra large hearts, just as they
also have larger muscles throughout
the body.
If the strain is put upon the heart
suddenly il dilates-it becomes larger,
but not more muscular-and that is the
danger I'm athletics. If a man exercises
gradually then his heart also increases
In size gradually because the muscles
become larger, and this is perfectly
normal condition. 1t simply means
that the athlete has a stronger heart
than the average and can cope with
the extra strain that Is put upon it. A
man needs larger heart TO row a
race, and if gradual exercise has 50
provided him with one then he can
safely undergo the most severe tests.
1T is the same way with the lungs
and they must be developed gradual
until they can undertake the extra
work. a man with his heart and lungs
we'll developed is in no danger, no mat
ter how hard the race. He may com
pletely keel over at the end OF the race
but IL will likely be from sheer exhaus-
ton, and his heart is so strong that the
effect Is not at all injurious. He will
be as good as ever in a few moments. -
