ing favorable conditions, Capt lesson
concluded that he would try to run the
gauntlet OF rough and breaking bar.
He succeeded in getting to sea after a
desperate struggle with waves that at
times threatened to engulf the vessel.
There was no turning back and Captain
Jessen, who is an old time pilot on the
bar, knowing every inch Of it. kept at
1t until he reached safety in an open
sea. AT time the waves passed over the
Elder reaching as high as the top OF
the smokestack, and the lookout at the
station at North Head states that it was
the worse experience he has seen vessel

It is matter OF congratulation that the
vessel passed safely through the ordeal
and the passengers on the vessels await

doubt thankful to their captains for the
delay that at least guaranteed tnem
comfort.
The Lurline came in early yesterday
afternoon, and had a fire drill which
was very interesting to the onlookers.

REVISION IN HAU
CASE TO BE MADE.

LEIPSIG, GERMANY, Oct IL
(SpeciaD Revision of the case of
DR.. Earl Hau, sentenced to death on
July % for the murder of his mother
in-law, Frau Molitor, at Baden Baden
will begin tomorrow. Hau was for
mally professor in a Catholic uni
versity at Washington D. c., and
has many friends among Americans
residing in Germany Many of these
believe that Han was treated I'M
fairly at his trial and that a revision
will result in his acquittal. 1t is IL
legged by American friends of the
convicted man that the presiding
judge was apparently grossly preju-
diced and appeared to consider Hau
guilty from the first The evidence
against Hau was purely circumstan-
tial, and while his friends admit that
there were several suspicious cir
cumstances connected with Hau's
actions at the time of the crime, they
were not sufficient to warrant a con-
viction in fair court. In any event
it is not likely that Hau will ever pay
the death penalty, as the grand duke,
who is in his 80th year, is inclined to
be merciful TO all offenders whose
guilt is not clearly proven.

Next Time at New Orleans.
Great rivalry has already developed
for next years convention and a
spirited fight will probably be waged
for the honor of entertaining the
Christian hosts in 1908. Although
the Christian sect is much stronger
in the North than in the South, it is
badly be successful in the race, as
the southern Gulf and Mississippi
valley states are almost a virgin field
for the denomination and the holding
of the meeting in the Crescent city
will afford great opportunities for
missionary work.
At last years convention in Buffalo
the battle was largely between New
Orleans and Norfolk, Governor Blan-
chard and other prominent citizens of
Louisiana joining in the invitation.
In the end compromise was affected,
with the understanding that New Or
leans should withdraw from the race,
but was to receive the support of
the eastern and Atlantic coast dele
gates this year.
At last years convention in Buffalo
there were 4,4O0 delegates, while in
1908. in San Francisco, there were
1000. The largest convention ever
held was at st. Louis during the ex-
position, when the attendance was
10000. The Disciples of Christ,
commonly known at Christians, num-
Der 100000, the gain in the last
half-century having been marvellous.

nevolence 100000 The denomination

NEW ENGLAND ATHLETICS.
Final Events In intercollegiate Con-
tests at Worcester Today.

WORCESTER, Mass, May 25.-There was
every indication early today that the final
events in the New England Intercollegiate
Associations championships n the worces-
ter oval this afternoon would develop many
interesting contests, especially in the hur-
dies after Shaw's wonderful performance
yesterday in the elimination trials. 1t was
generally regretted that the Dartmouth man
failed to get worlds record yesterday in
the high hurdles through the falling of the
ninth barrier just after he cleared it. but
the wearers of the green were jubilant be-
cause he had broken the record for the
event which had stood for eleven years. 1t
was everybody's opinion that the contest
today between Shaw and Capt. Hubbard of
Amherst would be one of the most note
worthy track events of the year.
Dartmouth went into the final events to-
day with sixteen men in eleven Of the con-
tests and some strong runners in the 100
yard dash and the two long-distance runs
that were not tried out yesterday. Amherst
and Brown had eleven men left after yes
terday's trials and Williams had ten, so
that there was considerable doubt before
the games started today regarding the win
ner of the championship.
The weather this morning was almost
perfect, the air being COOL and what little
wind was blowing favored the sprints. It
was planned to start the events shortly
after 2 o'clock.
