 London, May 13.-Special interest centered in the two big races of last week for the Chester cup and the Jubi lee handicap, owing to the fact that the winners of both events were selling platers formerly owned by Richard Croker.

NOTED INSTRUCTOR HEARD
AT AUGUSTANA COLLEGE

A. Devin Duvivier, composer.
instructor and lecturer, appeared be-
fore large audience at Augustana
college last evening. The subject of
his lecture was Art in Education -
and he handled it in a masterful and
interesting manner.
Among other things. he said that it
was his desire TO prove that a sound
education is absolutely essential to
the requirement of sound instruc-
ton in music. Education, he said, is
the culture of the soul, instruction
that of the mind. To him the most
beautiful and inspiring expression is
mother" and he firmly believes in
the Interior influence of the child's
first education, as given by the moth
er. In speaking of women. he assert
ed that woman, in some countries
does not always realize sufficiently
her glorious mission of education, in
spiration and ennoblcment.
Continuing, the speaker then dwelt
upon the genius and method of teach
ing and spoke of the literary produc-
tions in the field of singing of Manuel
Garcia, his master and hOnOred
friend, whom he considers the great
est authority in his field ''The wis
est advice" he said. that l can give
to anyone desiring to acquire a per
feet knowledge Of the human voice,
scientifically or practically, as sing
err, is to study the works of this great
teacher"
In the course of his lecture Mr.. Du-
yivier referred to DIR. +. +. Bartholo-
news work and paid the author a
high compliment. saying that he con-
sidered his sketches as models of
artistic and instructive work"

IN HALCYON DAYS
Gov. s. r. Van SAINT Writes In.
terestingIy of Steamboat
Experiences
WHEN HE WAS A PLAIN CAPTAIN
Takes Pride in the Fact That He
Built and Operated
First Rafter.


Gov. S. II. Van SAINT, Oh. minnesota.
who was reared and attended School
in this city and whose career as a
steamboat man is well known here
about, writes of the former days on
the river in an interesting letter to
the Saturday Evening Post. Gov. Van
SAINT built and operated one of the
| first boats that was used exclusively
for the rafting business. Speaking of
his experience on that boat, he says:
"Still another incident on the first
| trip of the first boat that we con-
structed for the rafting business, the
j. w. Van SAINT. Frederick Weyer-
haeuser was a passenger. The raft
was for his mill and he was anxious
to see the new departure tried. The
success was complete. At that time
Mr.. Weyerhaeuser was young man.
Since then his industrial genius has
developed the greatest lumber inter
ests of the northwest and he has won
for himself the title of Lumber King.
The magnitude to which this com
merce has grown is suggested by the
fact that one individual fleet has car
ried annually 2oO.000.000 feet of lum-
Der down the river to enrich and up
build the territory tributary to the
Mississippi. In a single trip one boat
has towed sufficient tonnage of
lumber to load to the limit railroad
train two miles'in length. 1t is scarce
~ saying too much to assert that the
total down-river tonnage of lumber
fleets any day in the moving season
is sufficient TO stall the traffic of all
competing railroads from boats to
rails and amounts to 5OO,OO0,o0O feet
annually.
This marvellous development is
due to the steamboat. and few, if any,
achievements of my life afford me
more personal satisfaction than the
fact that | built and operated the
first steamboat of large power for
this particular branch of river traf-

How River Benefits

Gov. Van SAINT points out the benefit
that the river still brings indirectly:
In the inland sections of the coun-
try the impression prevails today
that the Mississippi is no longer an
active factor in the world of trans
portation; that its traits days are
only recollection, and that the great
stream has no claim upon the graft
.tude of thespeople of the northwest
ION the score of present benefits. The
all who are Loyalty jealous of the rep
utation of the great river.
True it is that its through passen-
ger traffic has been almost complete
~ absorbed by the railroads. On the
other hand, the volume of its freight
carrying, especially in lumber and
coal, is still very large, as the facts
have already recited will Indicate.
But of far greater moment is its val
ne as n cOnservator of freight rates.
1t acts as a perpetual and unalterable
check upon the greed of the railroad
systems, and will continue to so act
for all time to come.
with the completion of the 18th
mian canal new era of prosperity
will be assured to the river. A mighty
volume of traffic will suddenly be
turned southwark and the activities
of the Mississippi will be multiplied
in Il manner now hardly to be reHliz-
ed. This great government enter
prise should, for this reason. com
mand the heartiest support of every
dweller in the valley of all the vast
northwest empire tributary to it,

that passenger traffic is wholly dead

trary. it is still considerable, al
though radically changed in charac-
ter. All along its course the river is
piled by short line packets, which

tween cities not far distant from each
other. The lines from Davenport to
Burlington and from Keokuk to Quin-
cy are examples of this traffic. which
will certainly increase with the pas
sage of time.
Another recent development is the
excursion business, which is also
destined to- increase. The boats de-
voted to these lines of the carrying
trade are modern and slightly, some
of them costing $4,000 each.
When Packets Raced.
The writer does not fail to make
reference to the feature of steam
boating of former days to which at
tention has once more been directed
by the proposition of Sir Thomas Lip
ton as an attraction for the ST. Louis
worlds fair next year, namely, the
packet races. He says:
mo review of the cid DAYS ON the
Mississippi is complete without refer
cnce to the famous races in which the
fast steamboats, indulged-a practice
which has found appropriate embodi-
ment in the literature as well as the
history of the west. How strong was
the racing spirit in the old-time river
masters is best illustrated by an Incl
dent which will ever remain vivid in
my recollection.
''As captain and part owner of the
ID. y. Mcdonald, / had shown the
proper river spirit by trials of speed
with all corners, and these efforts to
maintain the reputation of our boat
had reached the ears of my partner,
Mr.. 4,
older than myself. He had given seri-
Gus admOnition against the folly and
danger of racing, and had eXacted a
promise that / would not again in
dulge in this practice. Immediately
after had given this pledge, how
ever, he accompanied me on an up
river trip. We were in a deep and
broad channel when one of the fast
est boats of the day hove in sight of
our stern and was rapidly overhaul
ing us.
The strain on my self-control was
great, and L could hardly restrain
myself from putting on more speed,
when my partner suddenly appeared
at my side, his eyes blazing with the
fire of contest.
Sammy he exclaimed, eXcitedly,
clapping me on the shoulder. Sammy,
throw in more coal and wood. Throw
in all you want and I'll pay for it.
But don't let that boat pass you'll
Strife for speed records was not
always or indeed generally inspired
by racing sentiment. The first boat
of the season to get in at the point of
destination received her wharfage
free, and was sure of rich cargo,
and the fastest boats were invariably
in favor with the public.
Among the boats which held high
places in the galaxy of racers was the
War Eagle, the Hawkeye State and
the Gem City.

to spend a part of his summer vaca- tion in the Adirondacks. On one occa- sion he was fishing in a. mountain stream and had secured a large string of trout when a native happened along and told him that the fishing season had ended the day before. Then said he, ''I threw the trout back into the stream" At that statement, Colo nel Crandall groaned and turned away in disgust.
 The court imposed a fine of $500. Colonel Crandall in one of his charac- teristically eloquent speeches pointed out the defendants want of intent to commit crime. and he urged either a remission of the fine or a great reduc- tion of it.
 What have you to say, MT District Attorney" asked the court
 The district attorney replied that ev- en to him the fine seemed somewhat excessive. He would not however, consent to a remission of it, for the dignity of the territory must be upheld even against unintending offenders. He would not. ttougH1 oppose a reasonable reduction Of the fine.
 The court thereupon reduced it to beer for the crowd. The face of the defendant was wreathed with smiles and he led the assembled multitude to the nearest saloon. He did not know until the next day that he had been butchered to make Globe holiday. He left for New York immediately upon the return of his friend Kassar from the hills.

THAT FUNNY FOLDER.

To the E1itor of The Republican Sir: Phoenix has experienced two copi- ous showers recently. One was a show CT of folders which, if they had wound up with Drink Postum Cereali" would have been voted a skillful ''ad.;" but failing in this the public was forced to take them seriously.
 According to this folder the present movement to secure Sunday closing is rot what, to the eyes of the uninitiat- ed, it seems, but a skillfulIy disguised attack upon the Adventist church. which, with its health, foods, its sani- tariumS and its corner on the correct interpretation of the scriptures, is a mighty menace to all the error held dear by that benighted portion of the human family outside this favored fold. The promoters of this local movement are but detachment of the great army headed by Wilbur F. Crafts and which exists for the sole purpose of saving Sunday from destruction at the hands of this ecclesiastical Don Quixote so formidable in the strength derived from draughts of it's Postum Cereal and its possession of the one only O. K. key to the correct interpretation of the scriptures.
 As one of the framers of the petition the writer wishes to assure the author of the funny folder that the gnat on the horn Of the rhinoceros Is as much the object of the quest of the hunters as was the Adventist church the ob- ject of the inaugurators of this move ment. We are after the rhinoceros. not the gnat Of course the gnat may get hurt along with the rhinoceros: but if it does it will be because he is on the side (horn) of the rhinoceros. There is safety in flight. Try the other horn.
 At least with equal plausibility the Jewish people who hold the original right to the seventh day as a day of rest, might claim that this movement was directed against them- But there has been no wall from this quarter on that ground When a Jew comes to the United States he knows enough to accept the institutions of the country, and does not demand that legislation shall be shaped with reference to his religious opinions. He asks and gets protection in his observance of the seventh. day, and he patrioticaHy sub mits to the law that says he shall not work on the first day of the week. This is what is asked of all others. includ-
