GEAR FURNISHES SOLDIERS.

DisIoyaI Battalion Not for His Guard.
The crushing blow inflicted on the
emperor of Russia by the discovery
of dissatisfaction in his favorite regi-
ment, the Preobrajensky regiment of
life guards, as shown by it's adoption
of resolutions recently unfolding all
the actions of parliament and announ-
cling that the men wanted no more
police duty entaiIing the Staying of
brothers or fathers, has so affected
his majesty that he has ordered the
name of the disloyal first battalion to
be stricken from the roll of the inn
perial guards.
In addition the soldiers and officers
of the battalion have been deprived
forever of the special rights enjoyed
by guardsmen, and hereafter the bat
talon will be designated the special
infantry battalion"
The general staff no longer con-
ceals it's fear that the morale of the
entire army is profoundly shaken and
that with parliament championing the
cause of the mutineers in each in
stance as it arises, the first big test
may find the troops lined up as the
French troops two days before the
Bastile fell, on the side of the people
and against monarchy.

Della Lloyd aged 81, to death at their
home on farm near Nebraska. The
elder woman, who was killed, had

brooding over this and the separation
that she felt would result from it the
younger woman stepped up behind
her sister as they were preparing for
bed and killed her, then remained be-
side the corpse all night. The two
women lived alone on their farm.

Bars Put Out Of Business by Authori-

Every saloon in Kansas City, Kan,
was tightly closed Saturday and at the
club houses of the Elks and Eagles
no liquor was sold. Assistant Attor-

and stocks of liquors were removed
from many places to the Missouri side.
A dozen saloons in the suburbs of
ArmOurdale, Argentine and Rosedale
still remain open, but they may even
tually be closed.
These latter were operated by a
Missouri brewing company now in
the hands of receiver, and Assist

to feel his way before acting against
them.

i. THAW WAS SWIFT
HARRY HAS A RECORD As FAST
SPENDER OF MONEY.
His Family, Who Live in Pittsburg,
Are Rich-Harry Was Black Sheep
of FamiIy-Few of His Escapades
GiVen-Had to Go to Paris to Spend
Money Fast Enough.

Harry Thaw, slayer of Stanford
White in New York recently, has
record as a spendthrift that few young
men, or older men, for that matter,
have equaled.
Harry Thaw's family is among the
most wealthy people of Pittsburg. His
father was, at the time of his death,
multi-millionaire, who had made his
millions out of manufacturing indus
tries. Hundreds of the most valuable
acres in and around Pittsburg belong
to the Thaw family, says the Chicago
Tribune.
The Thaws are of Quaker origin,
and most of the members of the fam
lily adhere to the traditional religion
OF the family. Harry Thaw has been,
since his early youth, the black sheep
of the family. When the elder Thaw
came to dispose of his millions pre-
vious to his death he cut Harry off
with $25o0 a year because of his way
wardness. Mrs. Thaw later remedied
the discrepancy in the young mans
financial expectations by making him
an equal sharer win the other heirs
in the estate, thus insuring him an
annual income of $4,000.
After he came into his patrimony
through his mothers generosity Harry
Fhaw cut wide swath in certain So
ciety circles of Pittsburg, New York,
London and Paris. He was known as
a spender before he left Pittsburg for
New York. When he arrived at New
York he set himself the task of main
tanning his reputation and succeeded
beyond even his expectations. Here
are Few things he is accredited with
doing after his arrival in New York:
He raced cab down Broadway in
the middle of the day when Broadway
was crowded from curb to curb.
He threw theatrical performance
into panic by throwing bottles at a
soubrette who didn't sing to please
him.
He caused the proprietor to close up
famous night restaurant an hour
earlier because he stood on a table
and threw SIS bills to all the walters.
He went to the Waldorf one night,
sat by himself at a magnificent table,
and ordered a $50 dinner. When it
was finished he sent for the chef and
gave him S25.
One night after the theater, when
he found his cabman asleep, he got
astride of the horse and drove the cab
and the sleeping cabman through the
most brilliantly lighted thoroughfares
OF New York.
When a woman's eyes pleased him
he would send pair of rubies to
match them, or emeralds, or sap
phires, as the case might be.
He made it point never to tip a
waiter less than IS, no matter what
was served.
Thaw couldn't spend his money fast
enough in New York, and so sought a
more expansive field for spectacular
extravaganza in Paris. He succeeded
so well in the gay French capital that
IN single night he sprang into fame.
He gave a dinner in midsummer to
about 20 women. 1t cost $4,000. It
made Paris sit up and gasp.

SPORTING NEWS.

Harvard's varsity crew triumphed
over Yale at New London Friday
before the greatest crowd that ever
gathered there on a race day. Har-
ward won, but Yale rowed a race
that will long live in the annals of
college sports. Not only from the
start, but until the last sixteenth of
a 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 on
his crew. Harvard won the race by
less than two lengths and a half. Her
time was 23:02; Yale's 1911. While
the crews had the tide with them
they had a brisk quartering wind,
which made fast time impossible. The
record for the course is 2O:1O, made
by Yale in 1888.
The race between Harvard and
Yale crews was the 40th that has
been rowed between the two big uni
versities, and the score between the
two now stands: Harvard Is, Yale
%. The first race was rowed in 1852
and was won by Harvard. In the last
20 years, however, Yale has won all
but four races, Harvard winning in
1885, 1891, 1899 and 1906. The record
time over the four mile course at
New London is 20:10, made by Yale
in 1888. Gordon Glass, a son of Ches-
ter Glass, and for most of his boy
hood and young manhood a resident
of Spokane, was member of the
victorious Harvard crew, rowing in
No. 5. Glass is in his sophomore year
at Harvard He was the only west
erner in the Harvard boat.
Yale's representative crews in the
regatta with Harvard last Thursday
were two of them heavier than the
Crimson, but her varsity was the
lightest that has sat the shell in
years. Harvard had So more pounds
in her regular boat than Yale, or an
average of about seven pounds more
to the man. Yale's varsity eight
averaged 1881 pounds, while that
of Harvard was 175K pounds. Rare
ly has Yale sent a varsity eight
which weighs less than an average of
ITO pounds to the man into the big
race. Sometimes the crews average
up to IT'S pounds.
To the offer made by the governors
of Coney Island Jocky Club to set
aside plot of ground on the property

famous race horse, Sysonby, which

orial stone. Sysonby's owner, James
R. Keene, has replied thanking the
club officers for their courtesy but
stating that he has not decided def
nitely what disposition shan be made
of Sysonby's body.
