Real Forbidden Fruit.

In some countries there grows a kind of fruit belonging to the shad- dock family and which is commonly called forbidden fruit" It is similar to grape fruit, but Is larger and the in- side is somewhat coarser than the de- licious acid delicacy of which we are SO fond. The name forbidden fruit was given on account of three dark brown stains, like finger marks, which invariably show on this variety of the shaddock. The stains are close to- gether on one side and are believed to be the marks of Eyes fingers left as . brand on the apple whose eating caused so much trouble in the world. Forbidden fruit is much liked by peo- pie who are able to get 1t fresh, but SO far it has not been shipped abroad as extensively as its cousin, the grape fruit and shaddock.

Great Land Owner,

The Duke of Northumberland is the largest land owner in England. His estates stretch almost from sea to sea, and he can ride 100 miles and not once leave his own domain. In ap- pearance he is tall and thin, with red dish hair and flowing whiskers. He is old.fashioned in manner. and shows many of the attributes of grand seigneur. And he has all the pride of the Percys and keeps up to the full their olympian traditions. He WIS once heard to say: You will have to go long way back in our record to find a Percy who was either idle or a spendthrift" In religion he is an Irv- ingite, like his father. and he has converted the duchess to his own be- lief.

They Moved Down to Boston.

Mrs. H. c. Wells and other grown ups have had their merry gibes at Bos- ton, but here is a little miss whose unconscious irony puts their best ef- forts to shame. Why" asked Doro- thy the other night on going to bed: "why can't we see fairies?" Be cause they do not live in the fields and woods here any more" replied her nurse. Where are they. then in heaven!" Perhaps SO" "oh, I know" said Dorothy after a moment of silent thought. The angels got tired of their old mansions in the skies. SO they let the fairies have them and moved to Boston---Judge.

TELLS FOR CORNELL
Great University Eight Cared
 Wins For Eighth Time.
CLOSEST FINISH EVER OK COURSE
Thousands at PouEhkeepsie Witness Grand Aquatic Sport When IthA- cans, Columbia and Middies
 Come In Almost Together.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. r.. June 27.-- Cornell won the university eight cared race of the intercollegiate regatta for the eighth time late last evening in the most exciting contest ever rowed over the four mile Poughkeepsie course. Cornelrs time over the course was 20 minutes ? 2-5 seconds. Colum- bia was second, United States Naval academy third, Pennsylvania fourth. Wisconsin fifth, Georgetown sixth, and Syracuse did not finish, her shell being swamped half mile from the finish line
 The Ithacans won by the narrowest margin from Columbia. and until the finish line was crossed and the judges announced that Cornell had won the thousands of spectators. both af!oat and ashore, were In doubt as to which crew won the victory.
 Cornell and Columbia fought for the honors of the race over the whole four miles of the course, and at no time during the entire distance were the two shells more than twenty-five feet apart. Columbia led for over three miles, and then Cornell took the lend, only to lose 1t to Columbia again. In the last hundred feet of the race Cor nell by tremendous spurt shot the nose of her shell out into the lead and swept over the finish under the glare of big searchlight on board the United States monitor Arkansas five feet ahead of Columbia. The Annapo- lis crew rowed q magnificent race and finished two lengths behind Columbia.
 Syracuse captured the honors of the university four cared shells from Cor nell, Pennsylvania and Columbia. which finished in the order named. Syracuse finished two lengths ahead of Cornell, and her time over the two mile course was 10 minutes 37 1-5 sec- onds.
 Wisconsin won the freshmen eight cared shells over the course of two miles, leading Syracuse over the finish line by one length and covering the distance in 0 minutes 56 seconds. Pennsylvania was third, Columbia fourth and Cornell fifth. Columbia rowed the last quarter of the mile with an almost waterhgged shell which filed near the stern when three feet of planking was ripped out by striking a submerged log.
 The varsity race was postponed un- til after o'clock on account of rough water. Twenty thousand people saw the races. Secretary of the Navy Met calf viewed the contest from the gun boat Yankton, while nearly 400 mid shipmen cheered the Annapolis crew from the observation train and from the bridge and coming towers of the United States monitors Arkansas. Florida and Nevada, anchored near the finish line.

TRICK THE COURT.
Fighters Known in This City are in
 Trouble in New York,

New York, June 27.-Jimmy Buckley, of the Sharkey A. C.. is in a peck of trouble. It all came about when a ringer" Pugilist Edward Smith tried to palm himself as George Anderson in the court of special sessions yesterday.
 He afterward told the district at- torney that Buckley had persuaded him to attempt the deception. Now they are both facing a possible charge of conspiracy.
 Smith is the pugllist who last week at the Long Acre A. c. nearly killed Harry Lenny in a bout.
 In January the Sharkey Athletic club. at Broadway and Sixty-sixth street. was raided, and James J. Buckley, president of the club, and Frankie s. Sheehan and George An derson, who were boxing at the time, were arrested. charged with violat- ing the section of the penal code which relates to prize fights. They were all held in $500 bail each, which was given by James J. Hagan, who pledged the property at l31 West Sixty-fourth street. the head quarters of the Amsterdam Democra- tic club.
 After several adjournments the case was set down for June 1. None of the defendants appeared then. The court set the case down for yester- day, issuing bench writs and warn- ing Hagan to have his men in court or forfeit the baif Anderson seems to have skipped. His bail was $500.
 Policemen George H. Nuppenan and E. R. Philips and two others who made the raid told the court that the man before them posing as Anderson was substitute. The court at once suspended the trial and ordered all three defendants locked in the Tombs pending an inquiry.
 This court Is convinced that a brazen attempt has been made to de- ceive it." said Justice MeKean. He then asked Lawyer Emil Fuchs, counsel for the defence, to allow Anderson to write his name SO the court could compare 1t with the real Anderson's signature on the bond Fuchs declined to allow 1t "at this time'
 A long argument then induced the court to fix s5.0O0 bail in BuckIey's case. but it was announced that fin no event would Anderson be all. lowed out on ball. While Hagan and other friends of Buckley got busy on the telephone 10 get a bondsman. the ringer" was taken by Justice Nc. Kean's order to the Tombs police court and charged with impersona. ton.
 While there his nerve gave way and he made a complete confession He said he had been hired to imper. sonate Anderson. that his real name Is Edward Smith. and that he fights under the name of Terrible Smith He said he was not at the club on the night of the raid. Assistant Dis. trict Attorney Turnbull said hs would at once make charge of con. spiracy.

Champion Lady Shaver.

The chmapion "lady shaver" of the world, as she was known in London, Is dead. Miss Nellie Wick was only 21 years old, but as she had been bar ber since she was four years old, she had done almost a lifetime's work. Her father was known as the Tight ming barber" and taught his daugh- ter the art of shaving almost as soon as her fingers were long enough to twine around the handle of a razor. Her record performance was the shaw ing of 21 men in as many minutes.

PUGILiSTS
'l'Hrl MAY FIG II
 UNCE AGAIN
Possibility of Cans and Nelson Meeting For the Second Time
 Mike the "Twin" Talks.

Tex" Richards, the Nevada fight promoter, whose mission to the east was to get Cans to fight Battling Nelson again is confident, he says, of putting his plans through.
 T am going to have Joe Cans see me on the Fourth of July" he said yesterday "and l don't think l will have any trouble in arranging an other fight with Nelson. AS l have said before, have offered those two boys $40,000 if they will hook up again and there is no doubt in my mind that this will be easily ar- ranged when I see Cans.
 Tn regards to Jim Jeffries, don t think he will ever fight again. But in the event of Squires making good with Burns there may be something doing with the big fellow. Fifty thousand dollars is enough to make any man say yes But as I have said before, Squires will have to beat this fellow quick. -..-
 From all accounts Squires Is a big, tough fellow, and experts say he is going to be the real thing hope Squires does the trick quick with a knockout. Then we may possibly see Jim Jeffries back in action. l would like to have this fight at Ely, where can get a big gathering. In the meantime 1 want to wait and see the results of the Squires and Burns and the Britt and Nelson battles. l will then go ahead and get busy for big fight. There are but two fights in my mind which would bring out the crowd and they are Squires and Jeffries and Nelson and Cans"
 Mike (Twin) Sullivan wants to fight Joe Thomas, the welterweight and offers also to back Jack Irwin ) Sullivan against the winner of the Squires-Burn fight.
 Here is an extract from a letter he wrote:
 Just few lines to let you know that am home with father in the teaming business. would like to match Jack (Twin) with the winner of the Burns-Squires bout, and I an ready to post $1,O00 to bind the match or leave the same go as a side bet. think Jack should have the first chance as he won from Mike Schreck, Hugo Kelly, Tommy Burns Jack Palmer and bunch of other men who call themselves the heavy weight champion. I am ready tC meet Thomas for the September date at 145 pounds or at any old weight Joe claims I had cold feet in our last match in Denver. but he is wrong as there was no money in sight. Jot Is good boy, but think I have f on him."
