Mr.. Schwab as a Warning.


And now. after two short and troubled
years of glory, Mr.. Schwab retires, the vic
tim of a nervous breakdown. With the
election of his successor the business has
been subdivided so as TO prevent a repeti-
tion of the Schwamb fiasco. The lesson is
too plain almost 10 need statement. Mr..
Schwab is the most conspicuous recent ex-
ample of the folly of trying to do too much.
Work is the finest tonic in the world, but
too much work is as disastrous as too much
whisky. Every week We hear of wrecks
really caused by dissipation attributed to
cverwork, but there are enough genuine
examples of it's evil effects, like the present
one, to serve as a warning TO the men
whose ambition knows no bounds 1t is
better to go slow than to ride too fast into

BRITISH GOLFERS HERE
THEY BEGIN THEIR TOUR BY BEAT
ING AN AMERICAN TEAM.
Three of the Five Matches Well
Fought Out-Visitors show Famil-
iarity with the Irons.

HAMILTON, Mass, Aug. u-The British
cottage golfers began their American tour
auspiciously to-day by defeating a team of
American cottage players in a four-bail con-
test on the links of the Miopa Hunt Club by
a score of points to 2, each match count
ing for one point Scored by the American
method, the visitors won holes to 5. Three
of the five matches were well fought out,
and the large gallery which followed the
first quartet, made up of j. l.. Low, Cam
bridge, the captain of the English team,
and T. NJ. Hunter, Oxford, playing against
F. J. o. Alsop, Yale, and n. S. Campbell,
Yale, saw a match extended to the twenty
second hole before the young Americans
finally won Ii. The match between u. Il.
Barnet, oxford, and H. w. Beveridge, Ok
ford, and u. a. Murdock. Harvard, and e.
Owen Winston, Harvard, also went two ex-
ira holes, in this case the visitors winning
out, while the contest between ID. +. Ran
som, Cambridge. and G. n. Day, Oxford,
against w. G.. Chick, Harvard, and j. w.
Baker, Yale, was another long one and went
TO the last green. The other two matches
were, however, decided on the fifteenth
green, the visitors taking one up, to
play, the Americans the other by the same
score.
The feature of the play to-day was the
ease with which a majority OF the American
players held their opponents on the tees,
instances weak in their short game. They
all showed, however, great familiarity with
the irons and their strength in this depart
ment enabled them to win the initial con-
test of their tour. The results or to-day s
play were as follows:

where a grandfather failed to file an affi-

Navigation of the Upper Missouri
GROWING To Importance.

Growing to Importance.
Sioux City. July l2.-Steamboat
navigation on the upper Missouri river
is being renewed and increased at re-
markable rate. The day Of the steam
boat has not passed for good apparent
~. Lieutenant IL. d. Vincent, assistant
engineer in charge of the upper MIS-
souri, has just completed the collection
of some important statistics concerning
river commerce. According to the sta :
tistics for 1902 the upper river COM
nares favorably with the lower river
which is the boosted commercial end
of the stream. Engineer Vincent re-
ports that 1903 will show an increase
over 1902 and he predicts revival OF
steamboating. According to the sta
tistics there were carried in 1902, 81
OIL tons of freight, as compared with
$500 tons during 1901. The number OF
tons carried to the mile was 2,23OS5O
compared with 3,226,s09 carried on the
lower river the same year. Among the
different commodities carried on the
upper river were the following: Grain
1925 tons; coal. Lass tons: genera
merchandise, S,523 tons; lime and ce-
ment. l23 tons: live stock. 423 tons;
miscellaneous, 1.125 tons. The number
of passengers carried was 639. The
showing made is likely to have an iH-
portant bearing in the attitude OF con-
gress toward the Missouri river.

president Clark Replies to Criticism of
Detroit Minister.
Denver Col, July 14.-Rev. DR.. Fran
els e. Clark. president of the United
Society of Christian Endeavor, replied
to the statement made by DIR. Berry of
the Epworth League, that "union be-
tween the different young peoples So
cieties is impossible"
If DR.. Berry's remarks We're cor
rectly reported" said DIR. Clark, "he
must have forgotten that already such
union has been accomplished to very
large degree. The Christian Endeavor
Society has already united the young
people of twentys seven denominations
in this country, alone, and more than
as many more in foreign countries.
Several denominations that have dis
trict young peoples societies of their
own also unite in this inter- denomina-
nominational name to their own de-
nominational one.
"Dr. Berry says the denominational
young peoples society is as noticeable
as the UNCONVENTIONAL church or Sun
day school,
80 say I, but the UNCONVENTIONAL
Sunday school is not called by some
other name to make it distinct from
other Sunday schools. nor is 1t kept out
of the fellowship Of other Sunday
schools.
Every Christian Endeavor Society is
& UNCONVENTIONAL society, of the same
denomination as the church to which
1T belongs, and just as loyal to the
church as any can be. 1t simply adds
broad minded fellowship TO Its denom-
national loyalty. The Christian En-
deavor is, in this respect on exactly
the same basis as the inter- denomina-
tional Sunday school movement.
DIR. Berry says the Methodist and
Baptist denominations would never
consent to have their young people fur
nished with literature by outside per-
sons. But will not the Methodist church
allow it's young people to read any other
books or papers besides those of its own
denomination published. No one asks
or expects Methodist young people to
give up their UNCONVENTIONAL provi-
sions. The Chris tian Endeavor So
ciety does not force it's literature upon
any one, and does not exist to sell Its
publications.
"'rhe petition started at Denver, only
asks that the young people of aid the
churches of all the denominations be
allowed to have the freedom for fell
lowship, which most of them now en-
joy. Endeavors refuse to believe that
what Mr.. Berry says will always be
true, and that union with the Epworth
League Is utterly impossible. Many

than 5000 people were attending the
proceedings.

many women tainted and We're eXtri-

much difficulty.
Mrs. Winnifred Sleep. of Denver. who
was in charge of St. Marks hospital
tent, seeing the catastrophe at the big
tent, close by, telephoned to the cleo
trio light company to shut off the cur
rent. This prevented any damage from
the live wires that had fallen With the
tent poles.
A feature that showed the religious
nature of the participants was seen
when the majority were extricated from
the canvas folds. Led by an eastern
delegate. all gathered around in the
open air and an impromptu praise SER
vice was held in the open air.
The convention was in full progress
at O'Clock and altho there were signs
of rain and some wind was blowing,
| no trouble was anticipated by the man
agement The sides of the tent were
opened and this enabled the squat to
lift up the big canvas as If 1t were a

the tent over came SO suddenly that
no preparation could be made to fore

swept under the tent the roof of which

were pulled from their places and in a
moment more the big poles were drawn

| Immediately the 5000 persons were
| in a panic, which was heightened by
| the screams of hundreds of women. 1t
was then that Mr. Ramsey sprang to a
chair and called loudly on the men to
hold up the canvas and catch the large
supporting poles as they fell. Hun
dreds of men sprang to their feet and
successfully carried out the Chicago
mans suggestion, and thus averted a
| calamity. As the poles came down
more than 1000 people who had been
seated near the walls of the tent es-
capped the folds, and these immediately
| formed themselves into rescue corps

~ removed to the hospital tent.
