GREAT JUMPER DEAD

A special from Weymouth, England. says
that the Shamrock rs spinnaker boom.
which was carried away by steam yacht
which fouled the old cup challenger during
the race with the Shamrock II off that
place Saturday, has been sp1iced, but 1t has
been decided to postpone further contests
under actual racing conditions between the
two boats until new spar can be fitted
trial spin between the Shamrocks was
arranged for yesterday. but their departure
was delayed while awaiting the moderation
of a hard northerly wind.
Most of the forenoon was occupied with
altering the challenger's ma1nSa1l, winch
had stretched considerably
The two yachts left their anchorage at
about II O'Clock yesterday morning and
fetched out to start a trial race, but the
wind even inside the breakwater, was hard
err and more squally than anything the
challenger had previously experienced. Inc
boats staggered under their lower canvas
alone Outside the breakwater the condl-
tons were worse, and. after consultation.
it was decided to abandon the trial, owing
to the risk of carrying away the yachts
sEars.
The brief sail of the two Shamrocks show
ed that the Shamrock Ill is able to stand
well to her canvas In the hard breeze she
appeared to pull more water than formerly.
This, however, is not surprising, considering
her speed. The significant point of this first
trial in a really hard blow suggests that
Mr.. Fife has gone beyond the safe limit
in his desire to produce light spars.
The challenger's main boom is palpably
too light for the mainsail, the pull which
the boom gave spelling the set of the whole
mainsail, which showed a double belly d.
vided by hard, full ridge. The main sheet
strops will be rearranged for distributing
the strain, which, it is believed. will stiffen
the boom.

Red Light for Smallpox.

From the Harrisburg Patriot.
The fresh outbreak Of smallpox In Ameri-
ca in the past few seasons has renewed a
dread. almost forgotten. of the fearful and
devastating scourge which formerly depop-
ulated vast districts. Fortunately. the dis
covery Of Jenner-antivaecinat to
the contrary-has practically eliminated the
great loss Of life from this disease. Epi-
denies as a rule are quickly controlled by
wholesale vaccination and rigid sanitary
regulations, and one Of the strongest proofs
Of the efficacy of the former means Is that
thirteen British life insurance companies
decline proposals from unvaccinated per-
sons
Apart from the grim fatality attending
smallpox, and the fact that the victim for
months becomes a social pariah, is the
thought Of the hideous Disagreement which
follows In its wake. This fear, says the
great Danish scientist, Dr. Nels Finsen, Is
now needless; the dreadful soaring can be
prevented by the action Of red light This
wonderful man, who has devoted his life
to the amelioration of pain. and has given
to the world his remarkable discoveries as
to the healing properties Of light, instead
of gaining for himself thereby an immense
fortune, was actuated in his studies the
subject by his own need in the long Iseland
nights he knew until he was of age.

SCARED SELEE.
King and Tinker Played With Ameri-
cans on Sunday.

A special from Chicago says that Catcher
Johnny King and Shortstop Joe Tinker Of
the Chicago National League base ball club
deserted their own team Sunday in order to
play with Comiskey's White Sox in an ex-
hibition game at Kansas City. The players
action Is almost unprecedented. Manager
Selee says that the men have violated
distinct moral obligation. and interesting
developments may come from the escapade.
The National League players are not ac-
tually under contract until April 10, when
the season begins. King and Tinker. how
ever. have been with the cubs on the long
training trip to California at the expense
of the Chicago club and in charge Of Man.
ager Selee, and. according to base ball Gus
tom. were supposed to have reported to full
fill their contract obligations.
When the cubs left Omaha Friday on
their way to Chicago Selee, 1T Is said gave
Tinker and Killing permission to go to Kan
Sas City with the understanding that they
would spend Saturday at their homes there
but. it is said. with the promise that they
would be in Chicago Sunday to play with
their team mates in the exhibition game on
the West Side.
The two players reported to Selee yester-
day afternoon and were surprised to learn
their action had created such q STIR Both
denied any intention to embarrass the CHI
cago management. Selee will probably dis
cipline the recalcitrants severely.

o,Brien to Fight Walcott.

A match which Is sure to prove interest
ing was arranged yesterday in New York
between Joe Walcott and Jack O'Brien.
The men are to meet for twelve rounds be-
fore the Health and Physical Culture Club,
Boston, on April 20. Originally Walcott
was to have met Mike Donovan Of Roches-
ter on that date, but the terms were not
satisfactory and the bout fell through. Wal
colt and O'Brien fought at Philadelphia a
few months ago and the outcome was a
draw after six rounds. Although the mill
was full of action there was nothing to
choose between them, as neither cared to
take any chances. In their fight at Boston
1t is expected that there will be something
doing. Both men are hard hitters and will
no doubt try for a Knockout. O'Brien has
every confidence that he can put the negro
to SleeD e ri 1Eo

Vitality Of Burns Fame.

>.
1.-THE inquest on Robert Burns was con-
cluded long ago. but from time to time the
findings are reviewed by critical writer's,
as in recent symposium. A curious re-
suit thus chances. From every such in
QUESTION the poet energies the more radiant
and triumphal-the critics are lost in tha
splendor they have evoked. 1t is one thing
to make literature; 1t is another and quite
different thing to write about literature
and the makers thereof. This is truism
and yet the distinction is often confused
especially by the writer's of criticism. Burns
has survived several generations of critics,
many of whom made a vain bid for re-
membrance by their praise or dispraise of
him. The vitality of his fame is one Of the
great facts Of our literature

Length Of the College Course.
From Leslie's Weekly.

A number Of eminent educators have
been recently advocating the shorten
ing the college course. President Eliot of
Harvard believes that the period might well
be reduced from four years to three, and
President Hadley Of Yale agrees with this
view. Some would even cut the period
down to two years for a certain class Of
students and certain degrees. President
Tucker Of Dartmouth, whose commanding
place as a scholar every one comedies,
stands by the four-year course. The point
Is one on which equally sincere and
thoughtful men may honestly differ. On
the face Of 1t. 1t would seem that with
the vast increase in the circle Of human
knowledge in modern times. the great and
important additions which modern inves-
tigation and research have made to almost
every branch of learning. frightening of
the period Of collegiate study rather than
otherwise is made necessary for all who
would gain what In older times would have
been regarded as q high standard of
scholarship. Is here not danger that we
shall infuse a spirit of haste and super
1ciality into our schemes Of education and
thus miss that finer result OF true culture
which comes only Of earnest application
and deep and quiet thinking? The royal
road to knowledge is not the place for
automobiles.

The Earth-Born Moon.
Sir Robert Ball in Booklovers' Magazine.

Sir Robert Ban In Booklovers' Magazine.
Looking back through the mists of time
we see the moon ever drawing nearer and
nearer to the earth. Our satellite now re-
wolves at a distance Of 100000 miles, but
there was time when that distance was
no more than 100000 miles. There was a
time, millions Of years ago. no doubt, when
the moon was but 100000 miles away; and
as we look further and further back we
see the moon ever drawing closer and closer
to the earth. until at last we discern the
critical period in earth-moon history when
our globe was spinning round in a period
of about five or six hours. The moon, in
stead Of revolving where we now find It,
was then actually close to the earth; ear
lIer still 1t was, in fact, touching our globe
and the moon and the earth were revolving
each around the other. like foot ball and
a tennis ball actually fastened together.
1t Is impossible to resist taking one step
further. We know that the earth was, at
that early period, soft molten mass Of
matter. spinning round rapidly The speed
seems to have been so great that a rupture
took place. a portion of the molten matter
broke away from the parent globe, and the
fragments coalesced into a small globe
That the moon was thus born OF our earth
uncounted millions Of years ago is the les
son which mathematics declares 1t learns
from the murmur of the tides.

Bantamweight Champion Too Much for
the PHILADELPHIA Lad.

Harry Forbes. the bantamweight cham
pion knocked out Jimmy Devine Of Phila-
delphia in the fourth round at the Wash
ing Sporting Club in that city last night. AS
a drawing card the bout was failure, but
while it lasted the spectators got a run for
their money. Forbes was taller than the
Quaker lad and had the better Of the reach,
but Devine was a dangerous opponent I'M
til the champion had him all but out
Devine set the spectators wild near the
end of the first round when he landed a
stiff right punch close to Forbes jaw and
sent the champion down for the count.
Forbes was very careful until the bell sum-
moned him to his corner.
The champion resorted to clever tactics
from the second round until the bout ended.
He had Devine tired in the second and third.
In the fourth round he sent Devine down
for the count with right hook to the jaw.
When Jimmy got UP Forbes tented with
the left and whipping the right over sent
the game Philadelphia boy down again.
The referee then waved Forbes to his cor.
