A WELSH RABBIT STORY

George c. Boldt, the proprietor of the
Waldorf-Astoria, told at a banquet of
hotel men a Welsh rabbit story.
1.-TWO young men from the country"
he said, visited a New theater one
evening and after the play decided that
the. would have little supper.
They entered fashionable restau-
rant, puzzled awhile over the menu,
and finally hit upon Welsh rabbit.
"'Ah!' they said. Welsh rabbit!
That sounds good. Wen try little
of it.
$50 they ordered the dish, and in due
course it was set before them.
'But they looked at it in amaze
ment. 1t was not at all what they had
expected. They frowned and muttered.
"But finally one of them smiled and
frightened up.
"Ah,' he said, 4 understand. This is
a little bit of bread and cheese to go
on with till the rabbits ready"

In view of the fact that fifty-one
lives were lost and 3551 persons seri-
ously injured in this country on the
Fourth of July, it seems that the COM

itself in favor of safe and sane cele-
bration, They might take Los Angeles
for an example Here, with the lid off,
there was comparatively little noise and
only one or two inconsequential acci-
dents, yet the people Of this city had a

FlTZ 4 HERO!
Saved Life of Pretty Phone Operator
At COney Island.

Bob Fftxsimmons in q hero. and II
ne doesn't get a Carnegie medal 1t
will be because they are becoming
very stingy with their badges of honor.
He saved woman from death by
drowning at Coney Island Wednesday
morning about 3 o'clock. although she
begged him to let her die in peace.
Rose McNaughton is the name she
gave. She is pretty telephone opera
tor who lives with her parents in Car
roll street, Brooklyn. She visited Con-
ey Island Saturday night and forgot
to go home, although she is only eigh-
teen years old and has no chaperon.
When she awoke to what she consid-
cred the enormity of her offense some
time after midnight she concluded that
she would rather end it all than face
her father. Running down STATIONS
Walk. she hit the water with splash
that could be heard some way of. Bob
happened to be several feet away and
he made an investigation. When he
saw lone woman struggling in the
water he went after her with as much
energy as he ever went after ring
enemy and he met with almost as
much opposition.
Miss McNaughton fought him off and
declared In no uncertain tones that
she wished TO die. When he had finally
dragged her to shore Bob lost no time
in listening to the story of her life,
but handed her over to a policeman,
who took her to the station.
The charge made against her was
intoxication. When she appeared In
court yesterday morning she was very
penitent. Accepting her plea of guilty,
Magistrate Voorhees, suspended SEN
tence and advised her to go home,
which she lost no time in doing.
Fftzsimmons did not appear in court.

Both Messrs. Clothier and Whitman,
by the way, are products Of the lawn
tennis department at Harvard Univer-
sity. which has turned out surpris-
ingly large number Of players of the
first force, including, besides those
mentioned, Fred Hovery, whose prac-
tice game was of a brilliancy possib-
ly never eQualled by any player here
or abroad, but who had a lamentable
tendency to go to pieces in important
crises in tournament play; Bob
Wrenn, looked upon as almost an ideal
all around athlete, whose indomitable
spirit and courage have won for him
many a match which seemed lost;
Dwight F. Davis, giver of the interna-
tional trophy, who, with Holcombe
Ward what is generally considered
the greatest doubles combination yet
produced in this country; Beals c.
Wright, the recently dethroned cham
pion. and many others of only slightly
less strength.
Mr.. Clothier's recent serious acct
dent, which made it impossible for
him to have the constant, steady. hard
ening practice generally considered
which it was at one time feared
would put him out of the tournament
play for the season, makes his victory
the more surprising.
Harvard's Fast Trials.
The events of the last week have
completely changed the English opin-
ion of the Harvard crew which will
row Cambridge over the Putney-to-
Mortlake course on the Thames next
Saturday. Last Tuesday the Harvard
eight went over the course in nineteen
minutes and forty-five seconds, a per-
Torrance which startled its English
critics even more than its American
friends. The next day Cambridge
went over the same course under
slightly better conditions, but could
do no better than twenty minutes and
six seconds for the distance of
trifle more than four miles. On Sat-
urday, however, the Crimson rowed a
trial surprising anything ever done
by an American crew. The time for
the full course, which was covered un-
der almost ideal conditions, except
for the excessive heat, was eighteen
minutes and fifty seconds, which
comes within three seconds of the
record for the course, established by
Oxford in 1897 and equalled by Cam
bridge in 1900. When this time was
announced there was wild rush on
the part of English betters to hedge.
They remembered the experience of
last spring, when Oxford came to Put
ney a hot favorite, only to be shown
hopelessly inferior to Cambridge dur
ing the practice and soundly beaten
in the race.

THEIR LAST RUN.
Season Over For Steamers ON Lake
Detroit,

Althbdgh hot weather is predominant
ing at the present time the summer
season at the lakes east of the city in
Minnesota is closed and pleasure seek
ers who are there still are enjoying
rest in solitude. A number of local
people spent Sunday at the popular
resort, desiring to get the benefit of
the last few days of>the season, ac-
cording to the Fargo Call.
On their return they stated that the
season had closed practically, and that
people who had enjoyed the summer
months there have started for their
winter haunts, where they can be close
to the coal stove. which will be pressed
into service before long.
Steamers on the chain of lakes were
to make their last trip yesterday and
in such an event people desiring to
get to Lake Melissa or other points
off Detroit would have to go by team.
There will be no call. however. for
future.
All who have spent their vacations
there report that the summer resort
has no comparison and that the past
season has been one of the most sue
cessful that could possibly be desired
In any respect. Lake shore lovers will
look forward with interest to the COM
ing of the next season.

reads much like romance from the
days Of knight errantry:
Will thirteen be lucky number for
Jack Leonard or will 1t prove to be his
evil genius? Just thirteen years ago.
Jack, who is a barber at Towner, left
his home in small town near Buff
falo. N. Y, to seek his fortune through
the world. Like most young men,
Jack had sweetheart when he left
his home village and for some years.
he was faithful lad and wrote long
letters to the girl who had won his.
youthful heart. But man is tickle and
prone to forget and Jack Is no excep-
ton. His letters gradually became
fewer as the years sped on and eight
years ago he ceased to write alto
>gether. Time and changing scenes
had almost erased the memory of his.
early love from his mind.
A few weeks ago citizen of Town
er happened to be visiting in the natal
village of the errant Jack and noticed
that the maid who had plighted her
troth to him was still awaiting her
loves returning. The Townerite was
touched by her fidelity and lost no
time in informing Jack of the flower
that he was carelessly leaving out of
the sunshine of his life Correspond
ence was resumed between the pair
and last week Jack packed his trous-
seau and started In quest of this York
state penelope. He was not very talk
alive about his intentions, but those
who are in the know say that there
will surely be a bride by his side,
when Jack comes home again."

The week just closed saw a new
name added to the list of holders of
the blue ribbon of American lawn
tennis. The new singles champion,
William ]. Clothier, of Philadelphia.
has been a foremost figure in tourna-
ment play and worthy aspirant for
national honors for several seasons.
His game is of the slashing variety
and is dependent for success more
upon placed shots or side line smash
es from midcourt or the net than up
on lobbing or the base line drive tao

long been one of the leading expon-

the greatest player yet developed in

NO MORE LOGS.
Railroads ANNOUNCE That They Will
Stop Hauling to Minneapolis.

The railroads running through Be-
midi have decided to discontinue car
rying saw logs south and the resolu-
ton goes into effect at the close of
this season. This action was taken
for the reason that a great many
wrecks are caused by logs falling from
the cars onto the tracks. Not only lie
property destroyed but life is en-
dangered. In a great many instances
men have lost their lives by coming
In contact with the heavy wet logs
which fall from the cars.
The saw mills at Minneapolis have
for some years past been dependent
upon a log supply from the northern
part of the state and it will come as a
blow to those industries to have the
supply cut OF. This action on the
part of the railroads will result in the
erection Of larger number of mills
in the pine countries and consequent
ly an impetus will be given to immi-
grafton to northern Minnesota as we'll
as business generally in this section.
