TO SWIM THE CHANNEL.
An American to Try the Turbuleny
Stretch from Dover to Calais.

Philadelphia, Sept. 9.-To swim the
English channel, that stretch of turbulent
water between Dover and Calais, is a task
which has baffled every long distance
Matthew Webb tried it and succeeded.
Now George Kistler, the present aquatic
instructor at the University of Pennsyl-
vania, and the greatest long distance
swimmer this country has ever known, is
going to try it, and he is sure he will
succeed.
A party of Philadelphfans interested in
swimming will accompany Kistler to Eng
land The aspirant for channel donors is
training for the attempt in the swimming
tank of the Houston club, at the Uniyer-
sity of Pennsylvania He now weighs 100
pounds, but will try to increase his weight
rather than diminish it. This rather con-
Trajectory system of training kistler ex-
planned in this way:
1T is not question of speed, but en-
durance. 1t would not matter If 1 took
week in getting across the channel, if
l could stay in the water that long. The
fatter I am, so long as it does not in
capacitate me, the better, for the more
tallow l have in me the better fortified
shall be against the cold which has
been the insurmountable obstacle in all
the attempts to make the distance be-
tween Dover and Calais since Webb sue
ceeded in doing it,
Kistler is well known on the other side
having beaten the famous Willie Beck
with for the one-mile championship of the
world. In this country his long-distance
swims are too well known to need reca-
pitulatiOn.

IS A MINISTER AGAIN.
Rev. Granville Lowther, Accused of
Heresy, May Preach.

Wichita, Kan, Sept. 9.-Rev. Gran
Vile Lowther, of this city, whose trial
for heresy and subsequent expulsion
from the Southwest Methodist district
conference in March, 1902, was the SEN
sation of the day, not only throughout
Kansas, where he was very popular.
but in Missouri, where he was well
known, as well, has been reinstated
into the ministry by the district con-
ference of the Syracuse district in New
York and has been granted a local
preachers license by that body. The
Information was received in letter to
Rev. Lowther from Rev. c. N. Sims,
pastor of the First NJ. E. church of
Syracuse, who has been working to that
end for some time without DR.. Low
theirs knowledge. Tt is commended that
this action exonerates the doctor of the
charge of heresy. as it discloses that
his statements which aroused the con-
troversy are not opposed to the church's
doctrine of faith. The charge of heresy
was brought in the spring of 1902 and
after long triaLat Arkansas City the
doctor was discharged from the Meth
odist ministry
The charge grew out of certain state
ments made by DR.. Lowther in an essay
read before the Mcpherson quarterly
conference, just prior to the meeting of
the district conference Since his ex-
pulsion he has been preaching lnoe-
pendently and he says he will continue
to preach independently, though the
license will admit of his preaching IN
any pulpit to which he may be invited

Money There for tho Fight.

New York, Sept Slack Munroe, the

has requested the champion to have the
bout take place at San Francisco in
stead of Los Angeles. as suggested by
JeffrieS.
Munroe has already consented to fight
at Los Angeles, but he believes that the
bout would prove a greater drawing
card at San Francisco, which would not
urally mean more money for the prin-
cipals. Munroe's request for the change
of the battle ground was the result of
a dispatch received from San Francisco
stating that the Yosemite Athletic club
of that city was prepared to offer bet
ter inducements for the BATTLE than
those offered by the Century Athletic
club of Los Angeles.
On the receipt of this telegram Mum
roe Immediately sent a wire to Jeffries
asking him to consider the offer from
San Francisco before closing any deal
with the Los Angeles club. The Yose-
mite club will not be prepared to pull
the match off until November, and this
would give Munroe more time in which
to train for the contest. Munroe had
