HARVARD WINS BOAT RACE.
Crimson Crew Defeated "Old Ell
Men by Two Lengths
and a Half.

New London, Conn. - Far
wards varsity triumphed over Yale
Thursday before the greatest crowd
that ever gathered here on race day.
Coming after years of defeat the VIC
tory was particularly sweet to the
crimson. 1t was a great Yale crew that
Harvard defeated, a crew that had
broken all records in practice ana went
TO the stake boat a favorite. Thurs
day night Harvard's joy was uncon-
fined.
Harvard won, but Yale rowed race
that will live long in the annals of col
lege sports. Not only from the start
until the last sixteenth of mile did
the shells cease to lap each other. The
men in the rival boats could see each
other for more than three miles and
a half, as first one coXswain and then
the other called upon his crew. Har-
ward really got the lead when the
killing pace proved too much for two
of the Yale men. In the final squirt
Boulton and Noyes were done, their
cars literally slipping away from them.
Here Harvard began to open up clear
water and in the last 10 or Is strokes
she pulled away.
Harvard won the race by less than
two lengths and half. Her time
was 23:02; Yale's 2S:11.

WAS NOT IMPRESSED.
Country Hotelkeeper Not at All Awed
by the Dignity of the Governor
of the State of Ohio.

They tell this one on former Gov.
George Hoadley of Ohio, says Judge.
Once upon a time, in the midst of
a campaign, Mr.. Hoadley was to de-
liver a speech at little town in the
great and glorious Buckeye state.
When he reached the one hotel the
town boosted he walked up to the
register and wrote his name: The
proprietor head porter steward
-waiter-depot-runner was behind
the desk in his shirt sleeves, his hat
on the back of his head, and cigar
stump held between his teeth. When
the visitor had put down his John
Hancock, the factotum turned the
register around, read without flicker
Of an eyelid the name there written,
wrote 10" beside it with a lead pen
Gil and said:
You kin jest take yer grip right
up that stairway there an back down
tn hall clean to tn end. Yer rooms
right on tn lifet-hand side of tn hall,
in tn corner-No. TO-"
With considerable establishment and
not little injured dignity, Ohio's
chief executive pointed to his name,
smiled family, and said:
81 am George Hoadley, governor Of
the state of Ohio!"
Turning then with look of exas-
perated impotence on his face, the
hotel man exclaimed:
well, what dye expect me t do
kiss ye?"

WIFEYS LITTLE HINT.
Gentle Lesson, But the Probabilities
Are It Cured Hubby of Stay
ing Out Late.

1t came about this way. The man,
although a good fellow and well liked,
managed to evade the women until
he was steered against widow, who
won him hands down in three months.
For a long time he was one of the
model men of the city, and all the
young married women held him up
as a Ladies' Home Journal sample OF
manhood, but later he began staying
out after ten O'Clock and finally be-
came so bold and hardened to fem
mime seedlings and pleadings that he
had been known to barely get home
in time for breakfast.
The other morning at three o'clock
he turned the corner leading to his
home and was surprised to see light
in the window. Thinking that his
wife might be sick, or that something)
else equally as terrible might have
happened, he quickened his step and
burst into the door to find his wife
sitting in the parlor dressed in black.
Whats the matter, dear?" he muir

PRESS AMERICAN CLAIMS
More Trouble Coming for President
Castro of Venezuela.
After Sending Special Agent to In
vestigate This Government VIII
Ask for Settlement.

Washington, D. c. - Shortly after
Gen. Cipriano Castro resumes the pres
itlency of Venezuela on July ne will
find himself confronted by requests
from the United States for the settle
ment of American claims against his
government. For more than year
Castro has not been bothered by the
United States. Meantime Judge w. j.
Calhoun visited Venezuela and inyesti-
gated the American claims, and the
state department has been busily en-
gagged in reviewing the cases and put
ting them in condition to be pressed.
What seemed to be Indifference on
the part of the United States has been
only caution and the state department
will take up its work where it was al
lowed to rest after the sending of a
note to Castro by Secretary of State
Hay, which was practically an ultima-
tum.
A request will be made for arbitra-
ton of American claims, regardless of
what action the Venezuelan courts may
have taken or shall take in the future.
Representations covering practically
all the American claims against Ven
ezuela will doubtless be presented.

WEALTH OF SENATORS

named is probably entitled to place in
the millionaire class, being credited by
some with a fortune of nearly $3,000,-
000 Senator Newlands is another
whose wealth is counted probably in
the millions, as is that of Joseph w.
Bailey, of Texas.
The Croesus of the senate, William
A. Clark, dug his fortune out of the
ground in Montana. He was offered
S150,000 900 for the United Verde
mine He refused, because the wealth
is safer in the mine than it would be
in banks or lands. 1t is a bank that
cannot be robbed, and his drafts upon
il are always honored.
Quite another type of man is Ste
phen B. Elkins, of West Virginia, who
is credited with, possessing more
wealth than any other senator with
the exception of Senator Clark. The
Montana senator is acquisitive, but he
did not make his money through this
trait.

who is credited with the possession of

HUGE TOTAL WHICH LEGISLA
TORS CAN SCORE.
Members of Upper Branch of Congress
Who Are Worth Fortunes Which
Mount Up Into the Millions
of Dollars.

The United States senate has an
embarrassment of riches, at least the
general public is disposed to view
with disfavor, if not suspicion, the
fact that the members of that legisla-
tive body of the nation should possess
and control so much of the country's
| wealth.
If one should take tablet and pencil
and make a financial census of the
upper branch of congress, they would
discover that SO members, less than
one-half of the total membership, are
easily worth $40, 100000, showing that
the clubbing of the senate by some
as the "millionaire's club is not with
out warrant. A partial list of mem
bers would read about as follows:
William A. Clark, 100000 1000

Stephen B. Elkins, $2O,OOO,O OO-rail-
roads.
Gen. Russell A. Alger, $4,000, 900

BILE quarries.
George P. Wetmore, 100000.
Others whose wealth is counted in
| the millions, but the exact amount of
which is not known, are: Philander
c. Knox, Cabot Lodge, Henry M. Tell
er, Thomas NJ Patterson, Levi An
keny, Samuel H. Piles, George S.
Nixon, George c. Perkins, Francis E.
Warren and Reed Smoot, of Utah, who
is about to be barred from his seat
in the senate.
To this list should be added the
names of Frank B. Brandegee, of
| Connecticut; Charles A. Culberson, of
| Texas; Lee S. Overman, of North
| Carolina; Henry E. Burnham, of New
Hampshire; William P. Dillingham;,
of Vermont, and Frank P. Flint, of
| California, for their wealth comes
close to the million dollar mark, if it
does not largely exceed that sum.
Then there is a long list of names
of those who are independently rich.
Such members could schedule easily
above the hundred thousand dollar
mark. and from that figure it would
run up in many cases to 100000 and
more Among such are Morgan G.
Buckley, of Connecticut; Murray w.

AGREE ON PURE FOOD BILL.
Consumers Will Be Protected from
Dishonest Manufacturers.
Making or Selling of AduIterated
or Misbrnnded Articles of Food
or Medicine n Misdemeanor.

Washington, D. C. : The pure
food bill was agreed upon by the con-
ferees for the senate and house We'd
nesday and was reported to the senate
| just before adjournment. The house
bill was taken as basis of agreement
and into this were grated many of
the important sections of the senate
measure, which had been given great
attention by Senators McCumber and
Hepburn, extending over three ses-
sions of congress.
The bill as agreed upon makes it
a misdemeanor for any person to man
ufacture, sell or offer for sale any ar
ticle of food, drugs, medicines or Ii
quors which is adulterated or mis-
branded, or which contains any poi
sonous or deleterious substance. 1t
prescribes for each offense fine not
to exceed $500, one years imprison-
ment or both, within. the discretion of
the court, and for each subsequent Of
Tense a fine of not less than $1,000
or one years Imprisonment.
Confectionery is held adulterated if
it contains any ingredient or coloring
matter deleterious or detrimental to
health. Foods are held adulterated II
containing any substance reducing,
lowering or injuriously affecting its
quality or strength; when any sub
stance has been substituted wholly or
in part for the article; when any valu-
able constituent has been distracted;
when mixed, colored, powdered, coated
| i 10, f,,fa
riority, or any poisonous ingredients
added. The use of preservativeS by
external application are permitted
when the directions for the removal
of such preservatives are printed on
the covering or the package. Food
products are declared adulterated if il
whole or in part of a filthy, decom-
posed or putrid animal unfit for food,
whether manufactured or not, or if
the product of a diseased animal or
one that has died otherwise than by
slaughter.
The term misbranded applies to
foods or drugs whose package or label
bears any statement, design or device
false or misleading, or if falsely brand
ed as to place where manufactured or
produced. Any article, however, which
does not contain any added poisonous
or deleterious ingredients shall not be
deemed adulterated or misbranded
when known under it's distinctive
name, or if compounds, limitations or
blends are plainly indicated. The
term "blend" is construed to mean
mixture of like substances and does
not exclude harmless coloring or fla
voring ingredients. Proprietors or
manufacturers of proprietary foods
which contain no added unwholesome
ingredient are not required to disclose
heir trade formulas, except so far as
his act may require to secure freedom

be to make a study of the heredity in
man with a view to racial improve
ment. This committee will use for its
data some of the researches that are
being made into the heredity of plants
and animals.
Although experimental evolution is
one of the latest practical develop
ments of modern science, this Car
negie laboratory has chosen for the
scene of its labors a locality that is
thoroughly primitive, being marked by

the suburban village-if, indeed, Cold
Spring Harbor can be dignified by
that designation.
The laboratory buildings are erected
on a small fresh water pond empty

of land are utilized by the institution
for its various experiments in botany
and animal life, as shown by a num-
Der of neat Enclosures containing de-
mure-looking poultry, dignified goats

to the laboratory the Brooklyn Insti-
