HARVARD LOSES VAIL.
Rowing Coach Refuses to he Inter
fered with by Undergraduates.

Cambridge, Oct. 5-Harry Vail. the pro-
fessional scuiler. for many years coach of
the Weld Boat Club of Harvard, has re-
signed, and E J. Brown. for some years
connected with the Jeffries Point Rowing
Association of East Boston, has been ap-
pointed to succeed him at the Weld Club
This change came without warning when
Vail returned from his vacation in st.
Johns
Wallis determination to quit was hasten
ed as a result of an exchange Of views
with two undergraduates, a class crew
captain and a varsity crew candidate who
had been dropped during the eliminating
process last spring Vail claimed that the
undergraduates were interfering with his
business. He plainly told them that they
were totally ignorant of the subject and
that it would be far better for Harvard
rowing II undergraduates attended more
strictly to their own business. After
finding that the breach between Vail and
the college rowing authorities was beyond
healing, E J. Brown, with whom he had
been associated in amateur rowing for
many years, was named for Walls place.

How Chicago second Basemhn De-

Chicago. Oct West Side ball fans
who attend daily the games played by
the Chicago Cubs two-time winners Of

4 The wind swept downward from the hill,
And oitered through the sedgy grass;

Laid on her hair bosterous hand:

Good sooth, none knew what the wind said

Grew less as she were dead.
Loud laughed the wind and girt her round
With breezy arms; he bare her far
! Within the woodland ways, where sound
And love light never are.
She had small knowledge of wind speech.

And still she felt, yet she could not reach
The wonder in the air,

And left her lonely as ghost
She snvered where she sadly stood,
Nor knew what she had lost.

Vardaman and Williams.
Philadelphia Press

Philadelphia Press.
Governor Vardaman of MISSISSIPPI
pi,> Is trying to break into the Unit
ed States Senate. and Honorary John
Sharp Williams is his competitor.
Governor Vardamah has recently
progressed religion and got haircut
each of which ought to improve him
but We doubt If the Improvement
will figure so far as to make him a
desirable member Of the United
states Senate. The platform on
which he is making his campaign is
the repeal Of the Fifthteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution OF the Unit
ed States. This may win him votes
IN mississippi, in spite of Mr.. Will
llams reiterated assurance to the Mis-
sssiPpians that the repeal in Dues
ton is impossible, and that it is a
waste OF time and strength to agitate
1t.
On last Fourth of July, Vardanan
and Williams had a Joint debate at
Meridian Mississippi, in which Var
daman declared that he is not of that
class who are glad of the failure OF
the Confederacy, and that he would
rather live under the stars and bars
with Jefferson Davis as President,
than under the stars and stripes with
Theodore Roosevelt as Chief Execu.
tive. 'Jeffries Davis of Arkansas,
who will succeed to General Berry's
place when the Senate reconvenes,
another statesman of about the
same stripe as Vardaman. 1t is de-
voutly hoped that John Sharp Will
Hams will succeed in keeping Varda-
man from joining JEFF Davis in the
Senate, but it looks as though Varda-
man was filling the more popular
role, and is most likely to succeed.
They have long-distance struggles
for seats in the Senate in Mississippi.
The seat which Yardaman and VIII
liams are now contesting for is that
| Of successor to Senator Money, whose
term does not expire until March 4,
1911. Williams is a. pretty fierce
Southern Democrat himself. He
would "giVs> his right aSm," he says,
f he could %repeal the Fifteenth
Amendment, but he does not believe
in struggling for >the impossible If
| he has regrets. for the Confederacy
| and longing for the presidency of
Jefferson Davis he does not express
! them on the stump. He is a man of
| common sense and not a wild ranter.
His election to the Senate would In
crease the credit and influence of
Mississippi in that body, while Var
daman's election would have conse-
quences exactly the contrary
