ToMEs ATHLETIC SPORTS.

The second ANNUAL interscholasti,
meet held at Jacob Tonne Institute
Port Deposit, on Saturday, wa.
witnessed by an assemblage OF fully
$500 people, and was undoubtedly
one of the largest affairs of its king
ever held south of the Mason and
Dixon line, there being over 800
competing schoolboy athletes. The
manner in which the event was
conducted and, dispatch with which
this large number of starters were
sent off, shows that the meet was
in the hands of competent men,
and reflects great credit upon its
managers.
The strong wind interfered some
what with the work of the contest
ants and no records were broken.
Tones low average, while disap-
pointing to her many friends, was
due in a great measure to the ty-
phoid fever epidemic this spring,
which incapacitated a number OF
her athletes and greatly interfered
with the training of others.
The meet was won by the Central
High School, of Washington, which
was awarded the handsome silk
banner. P. P. Cook, a member of
the team entered by this school,
won the beautiful silver cup offered
for the highest number of points
made by an individual contestant,
and also captured three gold medals
by his fast work.
The competing schools and total
number of points won by each are
given in the appended table:

A Handsome Gift.

The handsome granite drinking
fountain recently erected in Port
Deposit, was presented to the town
by Miss Martha E. Beach, OF
Bridgeport, Conn.
The fountain is composed Of
three blocks of Port Deposit gran
ite. Upon the side facing the
pavement is constantly flowing
stream of drinking water, a dipper
hanging near. The approach from
the street is over Belgian blocks,
thus avoiding mud-hole. At this
point there is a large bowl for
horses and cattle to drink from.
Underneath this at either corner is
a little bowl for smaller animals,
such as dogs, cats, sheep, etc. On
the capstone is plate which bears
the following inscription:

Rising Sun defeated Port De-
posit for the second time Saturday,
Reynolds left hand twisters fooling
the Port boys completely, but six
of them being gauged correctly for
safe hits. "Jake'' was in superb
form and Devon behind the bat
gave. him the best of support, these
two doing the major portion of the
work, as fifteen of the quarrymen
were retired on strikes. In the
field the boys had little to do but
did that little in good style.
Harris, for Port Deposit, pitched
a steady game, keeping the hits of
the home team we'll scattered until
the last inning, which was a
damaging one for him. Boyce, at
short, for the visitors, carried off
the fielding honors for his team,
accepting his seven chances with
out an error. The score:

Baron Rosen handed to me January
9Th the following reply Of the Rus
sian Government to our last PROPOSE
tions Of December DIST last:
Having no objection to the amend
ments to Article II of the Russian
Counter Proposals as proposed by the
Imperial japanese Government the
Imperial Government considers it
necessary:
Il. To maintain the original word
ing of Article V which had already
been agreed to by the Imperial Jap
anese Government, that is to say 'mu-
tual engagement not to use any part OF
the territory of Korea for strategicaI
purposes, nor to undertake on the
coasts of Korea any military works
capable of menacing the freedom of
navigation in the Straits of Korea.
"2. To maintain Article VI concern
ing a neutral zone (this for the very
purpose which the Imperial Japanese
Government has likewise in view, that
is to say to eliminate everything that
might lead to MISUNDERSTANDING, in
the future; a similar zone, for example
exists between the Russian and Brit
ish possessions in Central Asia) In
case the above conditions are agreed to
the Imperial Government would be
prepared to include in the projected
agreement an article of the follow
ing tenor:
Recognition by Japan of Man
churia and her littoral as being out
side her sphere of interests, whilst
Russia. within her limits of that pro-
vince will not impede Japan, nor other
powers in the enjoyment of rights and
privileges acquired by them under
existing treaties with Korea, exclusive
of the establishment of settlements

Friends of the Domestic
Industries School Pro-
vides Means for Revival
WILL BEGIN MODESTLY
One Dozen Women Students
of University Will Find
Source of Self Support
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
2148 Center Street, July %.


With the opening Of the new college
year at the University of California will
come the revival of the Hearst domestic
industries school, from which Mrs.
Phoebe A Hearst withdrew her sup
port at the close Of the last semester.
This arrangement is made possible by
the subscriptions of a few friends Of
the institution and the means are now
provided by which at least a dozen
young women students may support
themselves through college.
Since Mrs. Hearst's announcement
that she would not longer assist the
school Miss Amanda M. Hicks, it's man
ager, and it's friends have been seeking
to secure the means to continue the
work. Now sufficient support has been
promised to revive the school on a
small scale. Twelve students will be
taken in at first, and the number grad
ually increased as the means at hand
permit. In time it is hoped to admit
as many as fifty students, that being
the number Mrs. Hearst supported.
At the time that the school was dis
continued by Mrs. Hearst 1t was stated
that she. having spent $4,000 in four
years for it's support. did not wish to
continue her gifts because the enter
prise was so expensive and did not JUS
tify the expenditures.
