CAMBRIDGE WON
BIG BOAT RACE
From Harvard By
Two Lengths on
Stretch.
n \
AMERICANS LOST GAMElY
And Spurted to the Last in
Attempt to Win-..Big
Crowds.

Putney, Sept. S.-By the decisive
distance of two lengths, Cambridge
won the great international boat
race today, stalling off by steady
powerful stroke all of Haryards des-
perate spurts. The light blues had
the advantage of the choice of sta
tion, which gave them at least a
length to the good. They got away
ahead and were able to maintain their
lead and even increase it. 1t was a
pretty race throughout Cambridge
went at tremendous pace, ~ strokes
to the minute at the start, gradually
reducing the rate, while the Harvard
men hardly rowed above thirty-fve.
The light blues gained, stroke by
stroke, until by the time Craven steps
were reached daylight showed be.
tween the shells. Then the crowd
went mad and it was hundred to
one that Cambridge would win.
Harvard Died Game and "spurted" to
Last
AS the boats turned a bend and
entered rougher water, Harvard spurt
ed. The magnificent effort sent the
American boat upon its opponent foot
by foot. AT Chiswick the English
stroke shook up his crew and they
began to pull away from Harvard.
Harvard was game to the end and
spurted again but 1t was too late to
retrieve the fortunes of the day.
Rival Crews Out Before Daylight.
Putney, England, Sept. S.-All mem
bers Of the Harvard crew had an ex
cellent night s rest and awoke this
morning ready to row the race OF
their lives and very confident of sue
sess. The Cambridge men were nc
less satisfied that they would be able
to carry off the honors. Weather con
ditions were ideal when the two crews
turned out early in the day for brief
practice under the stars This was
their final appearance before the boat
race which has caused the greatest
excitement ever aroused in Great
Britain by any contest over the his
toric championship course from Put
ney to Mortlake.
Banks Of River Lined BY Crowds.
EARLY in the afternoon the banks
of the river were lined with people tc
an extent that promised the greatest
outpouring ever witnessed at boat
race. Hosts OF Americans were early
on the ground, taking points of van
tage to enliven the American crew
with the Harvard college yell. AL
though in some quarters patriotic pride
drove Cambridge stock as high as 13(
to 80 in favor of the blues most o.
the betting was done at nearer ever
figures.
Race Was Won by Only Two Lengths

Let the Truth Be Known.

From all over the country the demand
is going up that President Roosevelt shall
publish the report Of the investigation
into conditions at the Chicago packing
houses made by Commissioner Neil and
Mr. Reynolds, instead Of using it as
club TO force an inspection measure
through Congress.
The products Of these packinghouses
are used by people all over the country,
and if such horrible conditions prevail as
arc charged by Mr.. Upton Sinclair in his
novel, "The Jungle" the truth should
be made public. So far as Mr.. sinclair's
statements 60, they may be taken with
all the allowance due to romance and to
tho fact that he is visionary Socialist
But if it is true that conditions almost
as horrible as those told by the novelist
have been revealed by the investiga-
tions conducted by agents Of the govern
ment, then the people should know the
full truth.
The object Of President Roosevelt in
securing the enactment Of a law providing
for an inspection by Federal agency is
well enough so far as il goes, but Il does
not, and cannot, 60 far enough. Il will
apply only to such products Of the pack
inghouses as are for export or for inter-
state commerce. What may be disposed
Of to the people Of Illinois will not be sub
iect to Federal inspection under Federal
law Here is where the authority of
the State Of Illinois must be invoked, and
the report Of the Federal agents, il It con-
tains the disgusting revelations it is said
to contain, may spur the State authori-
ties to such measures as will, in ooniunc-
ton with the proposed Federal inspection
make such practices as are charged against
these packinghouses absolutely impossible
in the future.
let the truth be known. The mere
suspicion that the bodies of animals that
die Of disease, and all kinds Of animal
refuse, are messed up into products which
people eat is too horrible TO be endured
with patience. And in such a situation
publicity is the great remedy, far more
effective than suppressing the facts and
using them merely as a club.

The election in Oregon this year, which
will be held on Monday June 9TH, Is at
traoting considerable attention. as q viii
be tho first dolivcrance OF the vcrdicis
which the people. at the coming State
elections. are expected 60 pass upon the
Roosevelt administration and the work
OF the present Congress. Il will also be
important in other respects, as Il involves
the choice OF governor. two members
OF Congress, and a Legislature which viii
have the choosing OF United States
Senator TO succeed John II Gcarin. who
was appointed by Governor Chamber
lain TO succeed the late Senator John n
Mitchell.
Oregon is what might be styled a Re
publican State, although it has gone
Democratic occasionally. 1t gave Nc
kinley a plurality Of 1914 in 1900, but
four yean later went for Roosevelt by
1884 In 1902. however, il elected
Chamberlain, Democrat, governor by a
plurality Of 276.
The Republican party in Oregon is
seriously handicapped by scandals. sena-
tor Mitchell was involved in land fraud
proceeding and the States two Congress
men, Binger Hermann and John n. VIII
hanson, both Republicans, are under
criminal sentences for similar offences,
and are fighting desperately to have them
set aside. But the effect of their con-
viction was to bar both from ronomina-
tion, and therefore the Republican candi-
dates for the succession are new and un-
tried men.
In Oregon, as in other sections Of the
Northwest, there is a strong Republican
sentiment in favor of tariff revision, but
tho Republican party organization, in its
platform, does not favor this sentiment.
This omission viii help the Democrats
materially. The Republican newspapers
are waging an extremely partisan cam
paign and urging the people to stand by
the Republicans in order to save the
postoflices from Democratic hands.
While the probabilities are that Oregon
will 90 Republican next Monday, il is
not likely to be by the Roosevelt majority
and a Democratic victory would not be
surprising.

Men,orl1lDnv.

While time has hallowed the grief OF
those who were bereovcd by the horid
casualties Of our great Civil War. and has
mellowed It's animositiea and dispeilcd
the bitter feelings it left as a blight upon
the entire country, tho lapse OF years has
but intensified the noble sentiment that
sets apart one day in the year Tor the pur-
pose OF doing honor to Tho memory Of
those who fell in that memorable conflict.
And so it is that today. in every place
in the country where the heroes of that
war have honored sepulture, a grateful
and reverent people are paying them the
simple but loving tribute Of decorating
their graves with flowers And in many
instances the beautiful oeremo nies are
accompanied by public orations in which
their loyalty and valor and their patriotic
devotion to country are held up to the
present generation as the highest at
tributes Of human life.
Memorial Day has come to stay. Il
does not stir up bitter memories Of a
great civil conflict but inspires lofty
sentiments of patriotism and civic duty,
and deep reverence for the memory Of
those who died that this nation might
"have a new birth Of freedom"

Diamond bows are Of longtime popu-
larity, but new effects are shown in very
irregular and graceful arrangements in
conjunction with large pearls. Some
times the pearls depend from the ends
of the ribbon, or perhaps from one to
three pearls may swing from the centre
of the bow
Very beautiful are the little crosses
composed Of pearls alone, or OF pearls
and diamonds in different arrangements
Quite magnificent is a cross displaying
large diamonds, and very elegant are
those in which diamonds alternate in odd
numbers with some colored stones.

giarism Of a mans style which takes as
its model for a brooch a good stout cane,

MOST DELICATE GAUGE.
New Instrument for Making Inhnitssima
Measurements.


An instrument capable of measuring
the ne-seventy-millionth part Of an inch
has been perfected, after five years
work by DR.. p. F. Shaw, Of University
College, Nottingham, Eng, the follow
ing data concerning which is given IN a
recent consular report.
The invention consists Of a very fine
micrometer screw and a series OF SIX
levers acting in conjunction with It,
which must be suspended by rubber
bands from a specially made frame and
inclosed in a box The frame is placed
in q vault under the university and sur
rounded with every safeguard against
friction and vibration, but even then,
says Dr. Shaw. lit is impossible to carry
out experiments to be successful while
there Is traffic in the streets. Every
factory too, where motive power is
employed, must be closed, even if it is
some distance away. Even a draft is
said to be fatal to the successful measure
ment of such minute quantities as one
seventy-millionth part OF an inch. Dust
must also be kept from the vault, and it
is said that even the buzzing of an ordi-
nary fly has made it necessary to sus-
pend experiments till the insect has been
disposed Of
The apparatusR it is claimed, could
be made specially serviceable in measur-
ing engineering gauges. 1t is broadly
asserted that all scientists recognize that
DR.. Shaw has succeeded in surprising
every other form of measurement on
gauges in delicacy and accuracy. There
are said to be many other uses for it,
for instance, that il will act as a most
delicate coherer for wireless telegraphy,
and will promote the study of nature
and possibly of the movements Of the
molecules Of matter DR.. Shaw is still
improving his apparatus in the hope Of
measuring quantities still more minute.
The general principle Of the method
is electric touch. This explanation is
given : "lf two surfaces, clean and
polished, come in contact the current
can at once be made to pass through
them and excite a telephone or other
sensitive recorder. Previously it has
been impossible to measure the sparkling
| gap Of an electric current OF less than IS
/ volts, but with Dr. Shaws apparatus
a sparkling gap Of half a volt can be
measured II physicists desire 70 IN
| derstand and explain natures hap
! penings il is imperative that there should
be exact measurements Of very small
| lengths and Of extremely minute particles
Seeing that nature deals in such small
| quantities it is useless to attempt to un.
ravel her secrets without the finest in.

OUR NEW STANDARDS OF LIVING.
How the Possession OF Money Has Spoiled
Simple Living.

Simple Living.
There are even in these days a good
many families in the United States who
find II possible to do a certain amount
of moderately high thinking and still cul.
tivate some of the graces Of life, says o
writer in Scribners Magazine. They
may be obliged to live simply. and ye,
may not need to use up all their vital
ity in manual labor True, they must
welk when Others ride, they must take
thought TO their apparel, that it be pre-
sentable at small cost, and when they
entertain their friends they must do Il
simply. But they have time TO read
books and they have money to educate
their children. Oftener than not they
are persons whose family traditions in
cline them 10 fastidousness in social
matters. They and their forbears have
been accustomed not only to well-bred,
but interesting people and have kept il
touch with what was going on in the
world; in short, they have a taste for the
best society.
Twenty-Five years ago there was no
reason why they shouldn't maintain their
inherited or acquired right TO Il, but the
tendency on the part Of certain Of their
iellow-citzens TO what has been char
aoterized as "the habit Of getting rich
has changed all that. II is not only that
the accumulation Of colossal fortunes 10
stricts the financial chances Of the mod.
erately ambitious majority, but It do
prives them of some innocent and legiti'
mate comforts and pleasures to which
they think themselves reasonably en-
titled, by increasing so tremendously the
cost of living while the standard OF lux
ury is raised in proportion. This, to bs
sure, is an old cry, but to the impecuni-
GUS majority it does not cease to be live
issue.
Yet one cannot find fault with The
people who have made money for wanting
to spend it; one cannot be surprised \
their ideas are crude and IL they fail
to appreciate a refined simplicity. Most
Of us spend all the money we can afford
and we should not thank anyone who
should presume to dictate to us as 70
what we ought TO buy with it. Tho
very rich do not in the least intend 70
make life hard for the rest Of the world,
In fact, from their kind-hearted desire
to give pleasure we get some singulary
bad results, such as, for instance, the
poor girl with rich tastes, who, although
she need not always be a Lily Bart
yet Is always in an unnatural and de-
moralizing position, and the young msn
who goes to the dogs in his efforts 70
keep up the pace with his rich mates.
