Fights get together. Neither the second
nor preparatory school crews are 70

This Is the first time IN a number OF
years that Georgetown has not been
represented By at least two crews, but
it is on account OF the lack OF condi-
lion in the other crews. The second
crew was TO race the Annapolis second
crew, but several of the men in the
former boat went home for the Easter
holidays. thus demoralizing the second
boat by making those that remained
behind row with new men. Tie Props
laid aside all work at the beginning Of
vacation and do not expect to race now
until they meet the Technical high
school crew on the Potomac.

London.-When a famous old Eng
lish hOstelry changed hands the other
day considerable interest was aroused
by the announcement that the new
landlords name was Oliver Cromwell,
and that he claimed to be a lineal de-
scendant Of the protector. 1t was add
ed, moreover, that he bore quite a
striking resemblance to a statue Of
the great man outside Westminster
hall, and that all these statements are
true l am able to testify as the result
of a visit which I have just paid to
the modern Oliver Cromwell
1t is in the ancient town of High
WycOmbe, Buckinghamshire, about 30
miles out of London, that he has just
established himself as landlord of the
Red Lion hotel. The building, said
to be about 200 years old, stands in
the main street of the quaint village,
and with a huge red lion over the pOr-
ticO still presents the appearance of a
typical old English coaching house.
It is owned by Lord Darlington, and
that famous parliamentarian, Benja-
min Disraeli, made his first speech
from the doorstep of the hotel. 1t was
like most Of those which followed it, a
famous speech. Disraeli said that his
opponents stood on his acres. but |, -
said the future prime minister of Eng
land, stand on my head" The crowd
cheered the sentiment, but not all Of
them for one threw a rotten egg

floor, -remaTking, There will my Op-

DUELS IN GERMAN
MORE THAN 5000 CONTESTS DUR
ING YEAR OF 1906.
Nuisance Knows No Bounds in Uni
Versities in That Country-Stu-
dents Slightly Injured About
Face Try to Retain Scars.

Berlin-Baroness Won Eschlinger,
young and romantic, was courted by a
student in the University of Luebin-
gen, but before cOnsenting to be his
wife she eXacted as a condition that
prior to the wedding day he must
fight a duel and get q SCARED face.
Among the students in the German
universities the duelling nuisance
knows no bounds and is increasing at
such a rate that alarm has begun to
be felt by the university authorities,
but the difficulty of distinguishing be-
tween duels carried out as sport and
those in satisfaction of honor is very
great. 1t is computed that in 1906
more than 5000 duels were fought
Students only slightly wounded in
the face take care to rub vinegar or
some other iTTitant into the wound
that the scar may retain a fine, bright
red color. There is nothing the ordi-
nary student is prOuder of than these
facial adOrnments.
A number of German aristocrats.
with Prince LOWenstein and Count En-
bach at their head, have resolved to
begin a systematic agitation against
duelling among university students
and in the army They are promised
the support of two of the most infu-
ential of the rulers of Germany, the
king Of SaXony and the grand duke of
South Germany.
Although recent edicts of Emperor
William have done much to stop duel
ling in the army, it is we'll known that
the practice still lourishes and that
the newspapers mention only a very
small proportion of the duels which
actually are fought The emperor's
real opinion of duelling has often been
discussed Officially he is opposed to
it and more than once has issued a
decree against it, but the impression
prevails that in his heart he approves
Of it as a manly and knightly way of
settling points of honor among sol
diers. especially where the honor of
an officers wife or daughter is con
cerned. With a word the emperor
could stop the practice, but this word
he has not yet uttered
The empress is a stern opponent of
duelling from the point of view of re-
Hgion, and her hatred of it is shared
by every Roman Catholic ruler in
Germany.

OLIVER CROMWELL.
descendant of Great Protector Who
Keeps an Inn in England.)

1t may be noted. by way of parenthe-
! sis, that despite his caustic oratory,
DisraeIi was defeated in this attempt
to gain a seat in parliament as a radi-
cal from High Wycombe.
The new proprietor of the Red
| Lion" who is now having the lime
light of publicity turned upon him be
cause of his likeness in name and
! features to the great protector, does
not appear fully to appreciate the in
! teTest attaching to his alleged ances-
try.
When I asked him to give me some
account of his genealogical tree he
remarked: Il have never bothered
myself much about it. Some 80 years
ago when Thomas Carlyle was writ
| ing his life of Cromwell he sent a man
to inquire regarding my pedigree. Ali
| could say definitely was that my
grandfather's name was Oliver CrOm-
we'll OF course, he wasn't the great
Oliver, for he lived some 250 years
ago, but my grandfather's family lived
in Surrey myself was born at Egg
ham in Surrey-and members of the
/ protectors family are said to have set
tied in Surrey.
Some time after Carlyle's man had
/ interviewed me I received a note from
/ the great historian informing me that
l was undoubtedly a lineal descendant
of Oliver the Great l never had any
| genealogical diagram or explanation
of the connection. and my claim or be-
lief is based principally upon this as
surance of Carlyle's. As | say, the
matter never bothered me much, for
| don't know what advantage it would
be to me to prove my descent if it
we're possible. No, l don't know
whether Carlyle mentioned me in his
book or not, for l never read it.
Last October" Oliver Cromwell
, continued, I received a letter from a
Mrs. Melyha Warham Brewster of
Houston, Tex, regarding the Crom-
we'll family, Here is part of her let
ter:
My grandfather, Oliver Cromwell
of Charleston, S. c., who died in 1912,
was the third of his line from the emf
grafton to America after the restOra-
ton. To-day the last of the name is
Lewis Cromwell of Elkhart Mines,
Nd"
Whether Oliver Cromwell of High
WycOmbe is or is not a lineal de-
scendant of that remarkable man who
ruled England for five years as pro-
tector, he has emulated the deed of
his alleged ancestor by disposing of
the Kings Head. At one time the new
landlord Of the Red Lion" while in
the building trade. was entrusted with
the reconstruction Of the famous
Kings Head" inn near the Guildhall
in London. He rebuilt the hostelry;
the Kings Head" disappeared and it
was said Of him by everybody in the
Old Jewry, that twice in the history OF
England had Oliver Cromwell dis
posed of the Kings Head.
