YALE CREWS RACE AGAIN FRESHMEN DEFEATED Varsity Was Five Lengths Ahead at End of Three
 Miles.

Gales Ferry, Conn, June 1.-The Yale varsity and freshman eights had a three mile race this afternoon resulting in a victory for the former by five lengths. The men padded three miles
 down tine Thames and contested on the return trip. Another shakeup in the freshman boat was made, the men now rowing in the following order:
 Wallace, stroke; Mills, '; Hyde, $; Wo- dell, 5; Austin, 4: Coats. 3; Hoyt, 2; Smith, bow. Cass is coxswain.
 The varsity and the freshman fours padded down stream for a mile and a half and raced for half a mile further, the varsity leading at the finish. Ex- Captain Moves, Coach Blair, and two subs took four mile row in one of the four cared shells. It is expected that Julian Curtiss will be at the quarters by Monday of next week, and a visit from General Skiddy is expected soon.
 The morning spin of the four Yale crews to-day was down river for two miles and then back at a fair stroke but without any effort to make time. The weather and water were both good and the men showed good form, their blade work being clean and the boat riding steadily when the stroke was in- creased. There was no change in the rowing order of any of the crews. After the crews came in both Holmes and Barkalow were given dip for good luck and this afternoon the man. agers will have their christening. Be- fore and after the row the men were at their books preparing for the exam- nations which are to come. There were no visitors in camp.
 During the morning the stalking out of the course for the races was complet- ed by Civil Engineer Loren Dabill and Wallace Beckwith, and at the first fav- orable opportunity it is expected that the Yale varsity eight with the fresh- man eight for pace maker will try a. time row over most of the course.

 Match Denied. KINNEY AT SHORT STOP Positions Will be Almost the Same as in First Game
 With Tigers.

A large crowd of students will % ia Princeton to-day to attend the second Yale-Princeton game. There will be no examinations in any of the depart- nlents to hinder. The students have practiced the cheering until the noise they make is ear-splitting and if en- thusiasm will win the game, Yale will win hands down. The train leaves here at 8 o'clock and reaching New York at s:35 will allow ample time to make the Princeton special which leaves the West 28rd street ferry at 1o:25.
 The team left New Haven yesterdav morning to attend the Cleveland-N New York American game. Last night thev stopped at the Murray H1r hotel on a special train it will leave New York this morning arriving at Princeton by noon. There will be light practAce pre- ceeding the game.
 People closely connected with tae team oeny the report that there is to be a shakeup, Kinney going to his olu place at third base, is without foundation. He has stated his fnten- ton of remaining at shortstop for the rest of the season. Meyer and van Week will pitch and perhaps Parsons will go in for an inning or two.

Only Human Nature.

When it comes right down 70
the point, every man will save a
few cents on what he buys if he
can, and in this age of high
prices, no one can seriously
blame him for doing SO. People
will go to a store that sells some
articles a little cheaper than an
CHER, says Garden City Herald.
Others send away for things be-
cause they save little, and so it
ge es, friendship for a merchant.
sentiment about building up
town, or local pride in seeing
big stores amounts to nothing
when dollars and cents come in
to calculation. In illustration,
the butchers have been asking
the council to put hundred dol
lar occupation tax on their shops,
and an ordinance has been pre-
sented to the council asking that
a license of SIS be placed on gro
ceries shipped in by the carload,
and yet one day this week
prominent meat seller bought his
winter potatoes from a car ship.

prominent grocer was seen buy

things are amusing, but they
show that one business man does

other merchant when it comes 10

Son Kills Father.

Denver, Nov. 1I.-H. E. Shan
non, a Burlington switchman,.
was shot and fatally wounded by
his son, Jerry Shannon, early Fri
day morning because he went
home drunk and tried to kill his
family. Shannon died few
hours after the shooting. Shan
non was abusive when he went
home about midnight and seiz-
ing heavy hammer started after
his eighteen year old daughter
and threatened her life and the
lives Of three younger children
and his wife. Jerry, who is 20
years old, attempted to control
his father but when he found he
could not, seized a revolver and
shot him through the throat. A
coroner's jury investigated the
case and exonerated young Shan
non.

She Suicides Also.

Greeley, Nov. II.-Just one
week after her husband commit
ted suicide BY shooting, for un-
known reasons, Mrs. ]. w. Toll
lefson, shot and killed herself at
Ault with the same weapon her
husband had used. The woman
had been prostrated after her
husbands tragic death and re-
fused to be comforted for his
loss. She went to the coroner
and obtained the revolver on the
plea that it had been a gift from
her husband and she wanted 70
keep it. Tollefson had been
bookkeeper and later manager
for the Gilcrist Lumber COM
pany and was APPARENTLY in COM
Portable circumstances. His
home life had been happy. He
left letter, as did also Mrs. Toll
lefson, which the coroner refuses
to make public. 1t is believed
these notes tell the reason for the
suicides.

Railroad to Serve Public.

Fort Collins, Nov. II.-Presi-
dent Frank Trumbull of the Col
orado & Southern and other OF
icials of that road were guests
at a banquet here at which Pres
ident Trumbull delivered the
principal address. He declared
that the first duty of a railroad
was to serve the public and that
the head of railroad company
was a trustee for the people as
we'll as for the security holders.
He said President Roosevelt had
hit upon the only plan for curb
ing the present day railroad
evils and had done more to stop
the practice of rebating than any
other one man. The Colorado &
Southern activity in Texas dur
ing the last few years, he said,
has brought Colorado nearer to
tidewater than is Chicago and
the saving to Colorado common
points by reason of the gulf diff
ferential is 100000 annually.

Union Pacific as a>clinker, a was
found unconscious in an engine
cab in the roundhouse with his
skull fractured early Saturday
morning. He died four hours la

the day on suspicion that they
knew something about the affair.
The authorities are not positive
that the man was murdered rs
the wounds which caused his

Locate Causes.

What is the cause of railroad
wrecks? Who murders men, wo-
men and children by the thou
sand? This is question of the
utmost Importance. Beside this
awful loss of life any question
of money becomes hideous and
horrible. "Bad tracks," say the
railroad officials. Why are the
tracks bad? "No money" is the
answer, because of the agitation
of the people we are not able to
borrow" Why not use some of
that $385,186,326 which the last
report of the interstate commerce
commission shows went into divi-
dends and surplus? asks Syra-
cuse Republican-News. With
such enormous profits, why is it
necessary to borrow money every
time some new ties are needed?

Room at the Top"

Americus Greeting: can old
and true saying is: There is al
ways room at the top Too
many of our people graduate from
our business schools and colleges
with the idea in their Uranium
that they will have a position at
the top or none at all, hence their
failure. The people at the top
have gained their supremacy by
some special merit, and before
you can enter their class you have
to show them" The above re-
calls an occurrence in Kansas
City. A high school boy hunted
in vain for job. Even letters
from his father to his business
associates did no good, and the
parent. whom we shall call Mr..
A., started out himself. He went
to- wholesale firm from whom
he was a heavy buyer and asked
him to give his son a position in
his store. The wholesaler re-
piled that he would gladly do SO
whenever there was an opening.
"My patronage" replied Mr.. A,
'is such that you can we'll afford
to give the boy place now"
"You are right, l can't deny you
if you demand it; now, what sort
of position do you want your
son to have?" Il want him to
learn the business" replied A,
you can set him at sweeping to
start" "Why didn't you say
something like that at first, l
supposed you wanted him to
have some nice position. OF
course we have room for him."
That was not many years ago,
and the young man has not
reached the top, but he receives
several thousand a year, not on
account of his fathers patron
age, but because he earns it for
the house. If he had started in
one of the nice positions he would
now be getting, at most, not more
than twelve hundred year as an
Office man with no prospects Of
another raise.

Judge Yates Dying.

Cripple Creek, Nov. I2.-Judge
L. F. Yates of this place, who has
been ailing for several weeks, is
dying. Judge Yates came to
Colorado from Illinois in 1859;
was the enrolling clerk of the
first territorial house of Colorado
in 1861, was staunch republi-
can and is believed to be the old
est voter of that party in the
state. The judge always boast
ed that he had never scratched
ticket,
