AGAINST TRUE SPORT,
Governor Hughes Vetoes Frawley Bill, Giving His Reasons

Governor Hughes Vetoes Frawley
 Bill, Giving His Reasons.
 ALBANY, N. Y., April Ex-Governor Hughes sent to the senate his veto of the so called Frawley boxing bill, with a message giving his reasons. The bill passed both houses last year, but Gov ernor Higgins allowed it to die in the thirty day period without comment.
 Governor Hughes said in part:
 Tn my judgment this is a step in the wrong direction. The bill is not neces- sary to support wholesome interest in boxing as sport. There is no req son why amateur athletic associations should not encourage it and why lovers of the sport should not engage in 1t un- der suitable conditions. This they can do without charging an admission fee for exhibitions.
 'The wise policy of the state to pre- vent the excesses which are certain to result if the sport is a-tifcially stimu- lated by permitting pay exhibitions should be adhered to. The act respect ing the original proviso was approved by Governor Roosevelt. and the act proposing new proviso very similar to the one now proposed was vetoed by Governor Higgins"

WARsHlPs' BOATS RACE.
Alabama Jackies Defeat British and
 Virginia's Crews,

Alabama Jackies Defeat British and
 virginia's Crews.
 NORFOLK, Va, April 30.-The first of the international boat races between the crews of warships gathered off the Jamestown exposition grounds in Hampton Roads was rowed between boat crews from the British armored cruiser RoXburgh and the American battleships Alabama and Virginia.
 The Britishers were left far behind after holding the lead for the first hun dred yards, and the Alabama jackies won from the Virginia's crew by a scant ten yards after bow and bow struggle over the mile course.
 The three boats got off together at the crack of the gun. The English sailors hit up furious pace, and for a time it looked blue for the Americans. But Yankee grit never relaxed, and gradually the Alabama and Virginia boats pulled up on the Roxburgh's cut ter. The foreigners held their own for q time, but the American boats soon took the lead and left them. Then the real struggle began and did not end until the Alabama's boat crossed the line. It is estimated that over $25, 1000 changed hands on the race.

SHOT PRUSSIAN GIRL
Frank Endrukat Tried to Kill
 Her In Pomerania,
DYING FROM SELF INFLICTED WOUND
Desperate Lover Followed Miss Ko- Hais From Her Home In Germany
 to Slay Her In America Be-
 cause She Refused Him.

X PHILADELPHIA, April 30-Martha Korais, a comedy Prussian girl, was shot and instantly killed here under unusual circumstances by Franz En- drukat. an enraged lover, who after murdering the girl sent bullet into bis own brain, infiicting wound from which he cannot recover.
 Endrukat, who was angry because the girl would not marry him, followed her to this country from the province Of Pomerania, in Rheinish Prussia. where four years ago he attempted to kill her by beating her over the head with hatchet After this attempt he cut his throat in an effort to end his life, and after lying for four months in a hospital, according to the informa- tion given to the coroner, he was sen tenced to one year and eight months Imprisonment. How he got into this country with a penal record has not been ascertained.
 After the assault in Europe Miss Ko- fais, who was the daughter of a physi- elan and schoolteacher came to Phil adelphia. Endrukat, despite the refusal of the girl to marry him in his native country, followed her to America and to Philadelphia. He went to work at Cramps shipyards and boarded in the northern section of the city. Miss Ko- rais secured a place as maid in the home of August Ramstein in the south ern section of the city.
 Endrukat met the girl by chance in the street on Easter and immediately endeavored to renew his attentions. He was repulsed. He followed her about and threatened to kill her unless she married him. Finally Miss Korais caused a warrant to be issued for his arrest, but at the last minute she de- clined to prosecute him.
 Endrukat last night met Miss Korais and followed her from the home of her employer to nearby bakery and again pressed his suit. The girl told him she would sooner die than marry him, whereupOn he drew a revolver and sent two bullets into her brain. He then turned the weapon upon himself and sent one of the leaden missiles in to his head. falling unconscious across the body of the girl. Endrukat was thirty-three years of age, and his vic tim was twenty-two.

THE LADY DECIDES
By EDEN PHlLLPOTTs.
Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.)


 When Jane Westaway was took of, after clacking nonsense for 50 year. us all thanked God in our hearts for her good man. For 'tweern't happy marriage, an he'd had more to put up with uubeknownst in his home cir. cle than falls to the lot of many of us.
 But two year after that he was in the pit beside her, an the Space left 'pon the stone was filled up with his vartues.
 Then Nicholas Westaway, his son "a lad five-an' twenty year old an a bit cross in the grain-found hisself master of the Old Rectory farm, as the place was called.
 The difference between him an his father was showed by a path-feld as ran through Old Rectory lands and was very much used by folks coming up from Okehampton to Belstone, be- cause it saved foot-passengers good mile of walking, an 1t had been there time out of mind. But there wearn't ho AAShI oh way "llAl IL, dll IuC ouuSs an farmer he always used to shut it up one day year to make good his claim in the eye of the law. He wouldn't have turned back the leastest little one he'd found on the field-path, for twas his pride an pleasure always to make life easier for man, woman an child when the chance offered. An the boys had the Albert nuts that grew there an the girls had the mushrooms, an he never minded, bless you. He liked 'em to be there.
 We'll, this here carmudgeon of a young Westaway-first thing he done, out of pure sourness of disposition, was to shut up the field-path an stick up lot O scowling nonsense. bout trespassers would be prosecuted. An the boys knocked young Westaway's boards down with stones, an broke his hedges; an the Okehampton peo- pie, as didn't care snap of the finger for the man, took their even way as usual. He spent half his time storm. ing up an down the great meadow in the farm bottom. where Oke river goes clattering under Halstock; but he only turned back women an children.

THE PENALTY OF OVN2WORK.

Work has been mans lot since the creation. but day of toll should not have its penalty of pain. Why is 1t, then, you ask, that backache so often follows? It is because the modern tendency is to overwork, to tear down faster than nature can rebuild. An unnatural strain Is thrown upon the vital organs. and more especially upon the kidneys, which have the work of Altering the blood free of waste and poison.
 The heavy tax of overwork-the strain upon the back that Is so com mon to many trades and occupations, is too great. The kidneys begin to fail in their work. and there is a double danger to health. The poison ous matter collects in the system, and the kidneys themselves begin to break down.
 Pain in the back is only a warning of trouble in the kidneys. An inflam- nation has set in. and a disordered condition of the urine soon becomes apparent.
 Too much or too little urine. with . constant desire to void the secre- tions; any noticeable deviation from the normal color; the appearance of Q sandy sediment. proves . disor-

Another old Custom Fade, Away

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, April 30.-Gov- ernor Woodruff of Connecticut has told how he was shocked by learning at the Jamestown exposition that the gov ernor of North Carolina and the gov ernor of South Carolina are prohibi- tionists.

couldn't last. There comed a terrible day when he turned back Mir. Mat. thew's wife-Matthew being the miller to Okehampton, an a church warden, and man of high renown in general. Matthew he took the opinion of Law yer Pearce an Pearce he had a tell with Westaway. But they might as we'll have talked to a fuzz. bush as to Nicholas. He stuck out his chin-he was a underhung toad, like bulldog-and he said that rights was rights an land was land.
 Matters was let sink for bit after that. but the upshot made rare story, an people laugh yet when you tell 'em about 1t.
 You must know that young West. away was courting just then, an he'd got his hands so full with Mary Jane Arscott, the stone-breaker's darter, that for lack of leisure-naught else he didn't watch his field-path so sharp as usual. The storm died down a bit an by the time that the matter of Mary Jane had come to a head, things were fallen back into the old way.
 Well, this Mary Jane was a fine woman. an would have seed her way pretty clear, if it hadn't been for a young youth by the name of Benja- min Pearn.
 rhs. no, Da,rn oh,naas xz l.- just what tother man lacked-a come ly countenance an fine. manly frame to him. Yet. with all his cleyerness, he was a fool when he failed in love, as a many afore him.
 Between these two men. Ben an Nicholas. it rested. an Mary Jane took her time to make up her mind. She was in love with Beniamin's self an westavay's farm. That's how 1t stood.
 Then things happened that helped Jane to decide.
 One fine evening in late summer. when westavay was walking down his feld-path in a devil of a gale. be- cause he found that folks had been breaking his hedge again for the hazel-nuts an running all about the meadow after mushrooms, there comed by Ben Pearn. an he marked the trouble an spoke.
 Iris a shame to see what you get for your goodness in letting folks go up an down your ield-path. Mr. West away" he says
 But Nick looked at him sideways, for he knovei Ben vas his rival. an didn't feel like trusting him yard
 They wouldn't be here if I could help it. Bf seemingly I can't" he answered (6ack.

er."
 You'd better look after him then, said Mary Jane, thoughtful like. "for I've told 'un to shoot your bull"
 Let 'un." answered Nicholas very cunning. 'I'd shoot the old devil my self for daring to run after you"
 Then Mrs. Arscott struck the iron while 1t was hot. an afore she left the parlor Mary Jane had named the day.
 So Ben was sent off with flea Ill his ear, an he changed his opinion about marriage an growed to pe a hard an fast bachelor an a lover of saving money. But as for Mary Jane, she did her husband a power of good an enlarged his mind every way. An. when they got family young West. away's nature comed very well through the usual ups an downs of life. He fancied hisself less, an thought of his little people an his good lady first, an growed bit more like his father before him. Not, of course, that he was the man his father was. But what chap ever be, for that matter never saa nnna -

OLD SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.

Some of the Men Who Survived Wars
for Many Years.
Soldiers Of the Revolution can be re-
membered by men who are not to-day
in their old age. Several of the rear
guard of the Continental army saw
striking episodes Of the Revolution and
were able to narrate them when more
than seventy years had passed, says the
Boston Transcript. Benjamin Abbott,
a drum major, who beat the death
march at Major Andres execution, died
at Nashua, N. H., in 1851. Peter Bes-
ancon, who was one of Lafayette's fol-
lowers and who died at Warsaw, N. Y,
in 1856, Is believed to have been the
longest surviving witness of Andres
death, which occurred Oct e, 1850.
The annals of many countries bear
witness to occasional instances Of long
evity in those whose business it's to
die" Samuel Gibson, who was a SOL
der at Waterloo, died Dec. Is, 1891,
aged 1O1. Who was the last Waterloo
officer Is the subject Of considerable
doubt, but the distinction was claimed
for Lieutenant Maurice Shea, who died
Feb. s, 1892, and who fell short one
year of being a centenarian. Veteran
sailors are almost as common as vet
eran soldiers. Admiral Sir Provo Wal
lis, who died Feb. ID, 1892, In his 1O1st
year, was one of the lieutenants Of the
Shannon when she captured the Ches-
apeake In 1918. Rear-Admiral Thomas
o. Selfridge, the elder of our own
navy, who was born in 1904, was a
rival of Wallis In length Of days.
Lives that span the historic past and
the present are commoner than are
generally supposed. One June Is the
son Of revolutionary soldier took part
in decorating at Saugus the graves Of
his fathers comrades.
