Rowing Matches.

College rowing matches seem to be con- fined entirely to the eastern institutions" said an alumnus who was discussing ath- letics with several friends at the Nor ris. T suppose one reason for this condi- ton is the fact that most of the colleges down here lack the facilities as we'll as the inclination to engage In water sports. Few southern institutions of importance are near enough to rivers to make boat races a factor in college life, and where the racer Is at hand there seems to be no desire for the sport And yet this is one of the nost healthful and least dangerous of all athletic sports. For an experienced oarsman drowning Is out of the question and a collision or spill is about the worst accident that could happen.
 There is nothing prettier than a close race between two or more well-trained crews, and although not quite so exciting as football. perhaps, spectators becomd sufficiently wrought up to make the well kin ring with their shouts of encourage ment or approval. The Thamas races are famous in literature and the annual liar vardYale contest attracts a great deal of interest in this country, but the sport is restricted to certain parts of the United States. and the great majority of college men have no conception of its many fas- cinations"

Pure Food in Congress.

If is significant that the pure food bill comes from the state of hogs, lard and glucose--from Iowa. It is Mr. Hepburn's own bill, and MT. Hepburn Is an Iowa man first, last and all the time.
 The full text bill Is not at hand, but If a close reading of it does not dis close several jobs of sectional, cor norate or individual nature, The Age Herald will be agreeably disappointed. If fin other words, it is not drawn to boom Iowa lard and to assail Alabama cotton seed oil. we shall be pleasingly surprised. Cotton seed oil is a far healthier food material than the grease gathered from miscellaneous lot of hogs, all subject to hog cholera and other diseases, but in all probabil- ity the Hepburn bill, which has been rushed through the house, discrimi- mates against the more wholesome product in favor of the lard of Iowa.
 Other jobs may be tucked away in tho Hepburn bill. Until the full text comes in it cannot be carefully sum- marized. It cannot, however, be rushed through the senate, and we trust the senators from the south will see. that cotton seed oil is not unduly discriminated against even for the purpose of booming unwholesome lard from Iowa.

CAP AND BELLS.

by ieeitS'
 The jester walked in the garden;
 The garden had fallen still; He bade his soul rise upward
 And stand at her window-sll. It rose in a straight, blue garment,
 When owls began to call; If had grown wise-tongued by thinking of a quiet and light footfall. But the young queen would not listen; She rose in her pale night-gown; She drew in the heavy easement,
 And pushed the latches down. He bade his heart go to her,
 When the owls called out no more; In a red and quivering garment
 It sang to her through the door. If had grown sweet-tongued by dreaming Of a fiutter of fiower-like hair; But she took up her fan from the table And waved 1t off on the air. "I have cap and bells," he pondered. 1T will send them to her and die;'' And when the morning whitened,
 He left them where she went by. She laid them upon her bosom,
 Under a cloud of her hair, And her red lips sang them love song' Till stars grew out of the air. She opened her door and her window, And the heart and the soul came
 through;
 To her right hand came the red one. To her left hand came the blue. They set up noise like crickets,
 A chattering wise and sweet, And her hair was a folded flower, And the quiet of love in her feet.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 The way to catch woman Is not to chase her.
 Generally we wait till our bread gets stale before we cast it upon the waters.
 It is a good thing for a man to have a temper, so his wife will think one in the family is enough.
 A woman can always convince herself that a queer story isn't so bad If she turns down the lights.
 A woman's Idea of a becoming hat Is something that looks like a flying machine that has been struck by lightning.

Vermont State Election.

White River Junction, VT, Sept. T.
Vermont yesterday elected a governor
and other state officers, two members
of Congress, thirty state senators and
one representative from each city and
town.
AS was expected the Republicans
were generally victorious, electing
their entire ticket and maintaining con-
troll of the Legislature by the usual
large majority.
Charles j. Bell of Welden was
elected governor.
The complexion of the Legislature is
practically unchanged. This indicates
that Senator Redfield Proctor will be
reelected.
The campaign was hard fought by
both of the leading parties, Democrats
bending their efforts to reduction Of
the Republican plurality of 31,OOO
given to w. w. Stickney for governor
in 1900.
Returns received at, midnight indi>
cate that the Republicans elected the
head of their ticket by plurality
equal to If not greater than that re-
turned for Stickney.

GET INJUNCTION
AGAINST CRIPPLE CREEK MOB
Judge Marshall Enjoins Individual.
Named in Suit of Interstate
Mercantile Company,

Denver, Sept. ARMED with an in.
junction, issued by Judge Marshall of
the Federal District Court yesterday
morning, restraining the individual de-
PENDANTS in the suit brought by the In
terstate Mercantile Company against
the mine owners association and the
citizens alliance and others, the plant.
III company will return to the Cripple
Creek district to open its general mer-
chandise store.
In granting the temporary restrain
ing order Judge Marshall referred to
the organizations named as follows:
The order asking for an injunction
TO restrain the citizens alliance and
mine owners association from pro-
ceeding with their depredations can
not be done because being a foreign
corporation, they did not file their GER
tihcates with the secretary of state.
So far l will be able to grant an in
junction against the individuals only"
Those against whom the restraining
order was particularly directed are:
e. A. Colburn, C. C. Hamlin, Gail Hoag.
Thomas E. McClelland, f. NJ. Reardon,
A. e. Carlton, Nelson Franklin and
many others. The order was issued by
Judge Marshall on complaint of the
owners of the store.
1t was variously but enormously
stated that the order by Judge Mar
shall applied to the deported miners
OF the federation also, and that they
would all go back in a body under the
protection Of the court. But this was
a mistake, as none of the miners had
made application to the court and the
federation, or its men, are in no way
connected with Interstate Mercantile

kniahts TempIar Parade.

San Francisco, Sept. THE twenty
ninth triennial conclave Of the Order
of Knights Templar was inaugurated
yesterday with grand parade which
brought into contrast the thirteenth
and twentieth centuries and recalled
the age of chivalry which Richard
Coeur de Leon and the no less knight
ly Saladin battled for possession of the
Holy City.
With tuttering gonfalons, with rich
ly caparisoned horses, prancing in gay
accoutrements, 10000 men who have
passed the vigil of the squire and have
symbolically received the golden spurs
of knishthood. marched with nodding
white and black plumes, with white
maltese crosses on their left shoulder,
with swords flashing and with banners
of the cross flung to the breeze over
seven miles of the city's gaily deco
rated and thronged streets, as.
marched the knights and esquires of
old through the streets of Lyons and
Touraine to the rescue of the holy
sepulcher.
A feature of yesterdays parade was
the presence in the line of the Earl
the Templar order representing the
knights Templar of England and
Wales. Their distinctive uniforms at
tracted special attention.
Joseph II. Leath of Occur de Leon
commandery, Knoxville, Tennessee, !
dropped dead during the parade, while
starting to do a knightly act. He was
riding in carriage, and noticing
comrade who seemed to be almost
overcome, stepped from his carriage
to offer him seat. AS he touched the
ground he fell dead from an apoplec-
tic stroke.
