lannta, Ga. The team is coached by
Mr.. Charles f. Hammett. Gamble,
the captain of the team, is the star ath-
lete. He won the pole vault last year
at the Princeton IntcrschoIastcs with
the very crcditable record OF 10 feet s
| inches. There is however, a very good
lot Of material to work on this year,
about half OF it from last year namely
Barnes, who runs the 100 in 1912 sec
onds; Kerr and Joe Graham in the 22o;
Barnes, who runs the 100 in Io2 sec
Marston, Primrose, A. Smith and Obal-
dia in the 40; lIankins in the hurdles;
Wise and Cutler, in the hammer; Grpp
in the shot. Some first class new ma
| terial has shown up this year among
the boys. Gill, who has run the 100 in
1912 seconds; Mason, also a sprinter;
Padgett in the 22o; Robertson in the
40; G. Molleson, Atwell and Myers in
the $50; Freeman and Towne in the
mile; Lipscomb in the hammer and
Robertson again in the shot. J. Clark
and Garland, now on the basketball
team, are very good men, the former a
pole vaulter and hali-mier, and the lat
ter a 40 man. The team will be well
balanced one, with very few unusually
strong men in any department.

THE WAITER SCORED.

A few days ago youth, who just
completed his first year at college,
was showing off before some young
ladies. He hailed the waiter, and, in
a light and airy fashion, exclaimed
loudly enough for all around to
hear:
Il say, waiter! Bring me some kic,

The waite smiled affably, nodded
his head, ard hustled away to attend
to some other visitors.
After quarter of an hour had pass.

learned youth hailed the waiter again:

You didn't order any, sir?"
"Oh, yes. did" responded the
youth, haughtily, Il said, Bring me
some hic-haec-hoc'a little Latin Joke,

TURNED SOMERSAULI.
AND FOUR OF THE OCCUPANTS
OF BOAT MET DEATH.
FIFTH MAN FLOATED IN ICY WATER
For Hours Until Picked Up BY Tug
and Carried to Shore-Was Un-

New York, June 3.-FOur men lost

perience such as few men have lived
through in the wreck of the sloop
Belle of Brooklyn, off NOrwalk, CT.
in the gale Sunday. Edward Auth, OF
Saratoga avenue, Brooklyn, joint own
er of the vessel, with his brother
Jacob, saw his companions, including
his brother and brClher-in-law, slip
one by one from the bottom of the
overturned sloop, and with q word OF
farewell sink below the turbulent
waves never to appear again.
After Edward Auth mad lashed him.
self to the stern OF the wrecked craft
with a short rope, he became uncon-
scious from exposure and sank back
TO meet the fate of the others. The
rope held him floating on the surface
with his face Just out of the water,
and hours later, almost as a corpse,
he was picked up by the tug Wyoming
and taken to New Haven.
1t was not until Auth gave slight
sign that Pickering spark of life re-
mained in his body that he was taken
into the warmth Of the tugs engine
room, and then through vigorous treat
mcnt and the administration of power
full stimulants he was kept alive until
the boat had won its race With death
to the harbor and he was sent to
hospital.
In barely audible gasps Auth told OF
the wreck Of the Belle and of the fate
of his companions, and then again
lapsed into Inconsistencies, and was
lowering on the boundary line be-
tween himself and his companions of
The wreck.
Edward Auth, his brother Jacob, his
hrother-in.law, August Jaeger; George
Glassen and Otto PAeger were the
crew OF the sloop.

gine. She left Brooklyn Thursday for
a cruise. There was a heavy sea Off
Norwalk. but the engine held the boat
to her course.
Suddenly the engine failed and the
Belle was completely at the mercy OF
wind and wave Edward Auth real
lied the danger and with the boat
rolling heavily worked desperately
with all the skill at his command to
repair the crippled engine. While he
was bending to his task a high wave
caught the Belle and threw her COM
pIete backward somersault, and the
five were thrown into the cold water
of the sound. Assisting one another
they all managed to reach the over
turned boat, but were washed off, all
but Auth, who managed to catch hold
of a line which saved him. Jaeger

A number of years back a burly
western Kansas man gave his nephew,
a lad of Is years. an unmerited chas-
tising. The boy promised his assail-
ant a like compliment when he be-
came man, and he did not forget the
words uttered in the heat of passion.
The uncle was about his duties on the
farm one day last winter when a
husky six-footer came up and gave
him a glorious humping. 1t was the
15-year-old nephew, only he was six
years older Then the uncle sued for
$1,000 for personal injuries inflicted
An unsympathetic jury couldn't see it
that way and he took the case to the
supreme court. Last week that au-
gust body handed down a decision af-
firming the lower courts decision.

Encourage the Young Poet.

Every man, woman and child should
write poetry. 1t is like boils, it pre-
vents worse sickness. If there were
more poets there would be fewer Grim
inals. Poetry is in every mans blood.
If he doesn't write it at some time or
another during his life watch out for
him. His wild oats are unsown; they
will rot in.his system and sour his ma
ture. Write poetry, therefore, so long
as there is a jingle in your soul, eX-
claims the Emporia (Kan.) Gazette.
The man who would advise corking up
poetry unwritten in a human heart
would soon have all the world full of
brain storms and the devil to pay,
It's great business, this poetry bust

FrightfuI Collision on Line Near

Daylight.

Elyria, O., May 3L-A rear-end cob
Hsion between traction cars on Middle
avenue, this city, caused the death OF
four persons and the injury of IL
others, some of whom may not live
until morning.
The dead: Henry Billings, aged GA

aged years, son OF Rev. P. Sala;
Ed ODonnell, aged 60.
The injured: Marguerite Butler,

other crushed; Mabel Dean, South

aged so years, will die; Leslie Porter,
legs cut off; Emma W. Wurst Elyria,

Chamberlain, Perry, o., both legs
gone; Mrs. ]. P. Sala, seriously in
jured; Homer Allen, one foot gone and
arm broken, condition serious; w. S.
Avery, conductor, seriously injured.
The two cars concerned in the ac-
cident ran as first and second sections
u the Cleveland & Southwestern and
the Columbus, Wellington & Cleveland
cars, which leave Elyria depot at G.
The first car was in charge of Motor
man Warner and Conductor Avery and
the second in charge Of Motolman Fro
ney and Conductor Williams.
Crowded With Holiday Throng.
The first Car was crowded with a
holiday throng, and the second, which
had just left the barns, was empty.
The accident occurred in broad day
light in the middle Of boulevard a
mile long without a turn in it. The
first car stopped at Fifth street to per-
NIT passengers to alight and the Sec
ond car, which was running close to it,
and at high rate of speed, crashed
into it from the rear.
The heavy steel bumper on the front
of the rear car sheared the crowded
vestibule just above the floor, crushing
the feet and limbs of the victims and
in many cases cutting them entirely
in two.
The similarity CT injuries is remark
able. Scarcely victim has a mark
above the knee. Scarcely one but will
lose at least one foot.
The scene of carnage after the
wreck was sickening. Feet, legs and
blood lay strewn with the scattered
eplinters of the vestibule. Only those
who were on the rear platform or in
the doorway suffered. Even those in
the rear seats escaped without injury.
Motorman Frandu, who was IN
charge of the.Iear car, and who dis
appeared imn7s diaSely after the wreck,
was encOuntred five blocks from the
wreck only few minutes after it hap
pened, and placed under arrest. He is
charged with manslaughter. lmme-
diately after the wreck Judge c. G.
Washburn announced that a special
grand jury will convene the first thing
in the morning to attempt to fix the
blame for the catastrophe.
Judge Washburn's own son, 8 years
of age, was reported at first as one
of the victims of the wreck, but he
escaped unhurt.
