NOT THE ORIGINAL BOAT,
shell Seen by Visitors at Columbia
Not the One in Which Her
Crew Won at Henley.

Columbia students and gradu-
ates will be disappointed to learn
that the old shell hung in the uni
versity trophy room on Morning
side Heights is not the original
boat in which the Columbia crew
won the Visitors Challenge cup
at Henley in 1878. The shell, says
the New York Sun, occupies the
most prominent position in the
room and has been pointed out to
every visitor as the only American
boat manned by college crew to
win at Henley.
The first doubt as to the authen-
ITCHY of the boat was expressed
several months ago by Francis
Sedgwick Bangs, a trustee of the
university, who has always been
prominent in Columbia's rowing
interests. Subsequent investiga-
tons have shown that on the day
before the Henley crew sailed for
America Capt. Goodwin sold the
two shells which Columbia had
taken to England to Cambridge
university, where they were used
till very few years ago, when
they were broken up.
There is some consolation for
the Columbia men in the fact that
the oars used by her crew in this
race, which are also on view in the
trophy room, are the real ones
brought back by the crew and sub
sequently presented to the uni
versity.

SIGNS OF EARLY SPRING.
Some Seen by Prof Won Jogglsby
from His Study Window
Backyard Scenes.

81 know when spring is at
hand" said Prof. Won Joggleby,
according to the New York Sun,
'by the things see in the range
of backwards in view from my
study window.
I'm the sheltered corner of some
of these yards, where it is pro-
tected from the cold winds and
where it gets not only the direct,
but from the sheltering fences,
the reflected rays of the advanc-
ing seasons warmer sun, the
grass begins to grow green while
yet there may be in other parts of
the yard patches of snow and ice.
The eager grass responds to the
first call of spring.
"And so do the jewellers in the
houses to which these yards are at
tached. On that same day in some
of these yards there were people
out raking up the winters debris;
the scraps and pieces of paper,
and the twigs and the sticks, left
on the ground after the melting
away of its winter covering. They
had sensed the approach of spring
and they were cleaning up; and on
the first occasion, anyway, they
were moved no doubt not so much
by a desire for neatness and trim
ness in their several yards as by
an inv, d prompting to get back
to them once more; to mother
earth.
at doesn't matter to me what
the ground hog may say, or how
many other Indications may
point, | always know when spring
is at hand by these two signs, by
the coming green of the tufts of
grass in the sheltered corners of
my back yard, and by the appear,
ance of my neighbors at work
cleaning up"

AN ODD OLD CHARACTER.
Kate, the Bumboat Woman, Who Has
Haunted Washington's Navy
yard for Forty Years.

Kate, the bumboat woman, 10
the title applied to an odd crea-
ture who has been haunting the
Washington navy yard for the
past 40 years, says the Washing
ton Post. Her name is Kate
Royal, and as far back and further
than the oldest man connected
with the yard can remember, Kate
has been making her daily trips
with her basket of candy, fruit
and notions to sell to the sailors
who visit Washington on Uncle
Sans boats. Kate has a speaking
acquaintance with all the great
men of the army and navy. She
has letters and presents from
most of them, including Amirals
Dewey, Sampson and Schley.
Kate made her first visit to the
yard during the civil war. She
was young woman in those days,
and her bright Irish ways made
her a great favorite. In later
years, when age began to creep
upon her, she began to form an
opinion that she was an active
and Indispensable part of the
navy. She considered herself an
enlisted person and became as de-
voted to the cause as the most
loyal man. 1t is just 40 years since
Kate began to consider herself u
sailor.
She has had ten red enlistment
stripes, representing four years
each, placed upon a field of blue
cloth, and this she wore to cele-
brate the anniversary.
Kate is a picturesque charac-
ter. Her form is bowed beneath
the weight of 20 years, and her
face is scanned with the marks of
time. Only her eyes still retain
the brilliancy of youth, and they
sparkle with the same Irish hu.
NOR and good nature that
cleaned from them 40 years ago.
Kate has no regular hours of
business. She is on hand with the
rising sun, and the late hours of
the evening find her still on duty.
She gathers her little stock of
trade around her under the fore.
castle of one of the United States
boats lying up at the yard, and
with the sailor boys lying around
her on the floor she will tell them
tales of her youth or crone Irish
melodies for them until the signal
for lights out is passed around.
and the sailors seek their swing
ing hammocks, and Kate shout
ders her basket of goods and wan
ders home.

"Radium sirup."

A practical joke, now common
among Parisians, is to go into a
drug store and ask for three cents
worth of radium. AT first the
chemists took it good-naturedly,
but latterly 1t has become quite a
nuisance. One chemist in the
Rue de Rivoli has just hit upon a
way of getting even with the
would-be jokers. He has made q
concoction which he calls "radium
sirup," and when the practical
joker arrives gravely hands out O
small quantity, charging an extra
two cents for the bottle,

The editor of the Idaho State
Eagle would like the pleasure OF
sticking both ears of the demo
cratic mule into the flesh of thu
republican elephant in Idaho this
year. The desire is the result O.
friendly solicitation received
from prominent democrats of the
state.
Hon. G. w. Beale of Wallace
says he is a candidate for Con
gress before the republican con
vention and will contest for the
nomination of his party in this
state. Mr.. Beale is worthy OF
republican favors and his ambi-
ton for congressional honors has
aroused our energy, as it did tw,
years ago, and now as then, w,
desire to measure steel with Mr.
Beale which has been tempered
in the laughing waters of Sho-
shone county and flash the shin
ing lances of democracy in the
race of conquered republicans.
Democrats who do not feel al
liberty to favor our nomination
not forfeit our friendship. We
believe in democratic liberty, the
majority rule and the right OF
every man to his individual pre-.
ference consistent with honesty
and good intentions. But we
beg to say that if nominated we
will contribute our humble Ell
forts to express in the coming
political strife what the Irishman
prayed for when he met the bear
on the footlog, "Oh, God, if you
cannot be on my side do not be
on the side of the bear and / will
show you the biggest fight you
ever saw"
This announcement is consign-
ed to the democrats of Idaho
with many thanks for past com
pliments and whether favored by
the grace of Idaho democracy or
not, we pledge our fidelity and
our humble efforts with others to
unity the forces of reform in the
interest of good government aud
assist to call out the old guard
everywhere in Idaho from the
sage brush plains of the deserts
in the south to the snow capped
peaks of the mountain ranges OF
the north.
Feeling confident that we will
receive the favors we have re-
quested, we will proceed at an
early date to collect from delin,
quent subscribers to the Eagle sc
as to provide campaign expenses
and if we cannot use the collec-
tons in our own behalf we will
use them in behalf of the gentle
man who defeats us in the con.
yention at Lewiston,
