KARL BEHR WON IN
LONGWOOD FINALS

BOSTON. July 31.-Karl H. Behr of Yale
University defeated William J.. Clothier of
Philadelphia in the final rounds of the
Longwood Cricket Clubs lawn tennis tour
nament yesterday In straight sets. 6-1.
SO, Cd. Behr Will meet William A
Larned. the former national champion and
present holder of the Longwood cup. in the
challenge round today.
The Yale player caught the former Har-
ward expert of his game at the beginning
of the match. and, try as he could, Clothier
was unable to regain control of his strokes.
while nearly every time he ran in Behr
passed him at the net. Despite the heavy
rain of the early morning the court was
fast.
Both men played ground stroke game,
volleying and lobbying being entirely
absent. Behr seemed to play the court
boundaries to perfection. while Clothier
drove out of court frequently. On the
other hand. Behr was very erratic in his
service and made eight double faults.
Clothier was the favorite before the game
because Of his long experience on the
courts, but Behr showed plainly the benefit
of the hard work of last week and played
with a confidence and daring that carried
his opponent of his feet. An excellent
contest is looked for today between the
young Yale player and the veteran
Larned.
The points Of the match were as follows:

TWO Corydon Women Tired Of Life

The town of Corydon was considera-
bly, agitated on Tuesday of last week
on account of two ladies of that town
attempting to commit suicide, one being
successful and the other one is in a
precafious condition with but slight
hopes of her recovery.
Mrs. Ora Barnard, the young wife Of
Richard Barnard, blacksmith of Cory
don swallowed Is grains Of strychnine
about 6 O'clock in the evening, and died
about an hour afterwards. She left two
letters, one to her mother, asking that
she take charge of her remains, and
assigned as cause for her rash act,
that at times since her marriage her
husband had been drinking. Mrs.
Barnard had a long seige OF fever this
fall and since that time has been rather
Respondent. Her husband is spoken Of
as quiet Industrious young man with
no bad habits, and he is grief stricken
over the death of his wife.
The other case happened the same
afternoon, when Miss Zoe Hook, the
nineteen year daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Arch Hook, after having a
slight difficulty with her mothe
went to the home of her aunt
and swallowed a quantity of concen-
trated lye, burning her mouth and
throat in horrible manner. Doctors
were summoned at once, and she was
still alive, but expresses regret that
she did not die.

For Her Sake.

The average theatrical manager OF
the present is SO intent upon devising
novelties to please the seated public
that he too often overlooks the oppor-
tunities which are furnished by the
older sort of dramas and melodramas.
1t is one of the most inspiring signs of
the times, however, that the people are
gradually abandoning the hackneyed
farce comedies and tho variety shows
without variety for the good old-fash-
toned plays in which "heart interest"
Iredominates. Proof of this statement
is found in the fact that one of the
greatest successes of recent years has
been achieved this season by melo-
drama in which love is the prevailing
sentiment. The title of the play is
"For Her Sake, and the story deals
with life in Russia and Siberia. The
company who have the piece under
their management have spared no labor
or expense upon it and have succeeded
in producing melodrama which is
without doubt superior to the average
of it's kind. "For Her Sake" will be
seen at the Van Werden opera house on
Jan. 10th.

For Her Sake.

The story of the Russian Melodrama,
"For Her Sake" which comes to the Van
Werden opera house, Jan. 10th, leads
the spectator through the lights and
shadows of a LIES journey whose ulti-
mate destination is peace and happiness
but whose intermediary stages offer
some thrilling scenes of trial and trib-
ulation. There is one scene showing
the road to Siberia, which is said to be
Of intense human interest and thrilling
effect. There is ball room scene
which is described as being sumptuous
and accurate reproduction of life among
the Russian nobility. The piece through
out is handsomely staged and the com
pany an adequate one.
